‘ ' Enriching Farm .
' ‘ ' Life ‘

By]. mama ‘ .. --

 

 

‘S time goes on, the farmjs be-
coming more and more a place
where things are produced to, be
:sold. , There wash time when most

”of the things needed to: satiety the V 3

wants of the farmer were grown on

the farm. In those days when trans- .,
portation was expensive and ‘commun-
ication difficult the farmer was almost
compelled to produce most of the
things he wanted. Wants were limit-
ed more than they are today. Living
'was not as full and complete. ,The
simple things sufficed. Luxuries were
few. .01? food and warm clothing there
was usually an abundance; but of
those things which came from distant
market places there was a dearth.

The development of rapid transpor-
tation [made it possible to bring more
things to the farmer’s home and per-
mitted shipping long distances the
things which he produced in excess of
his own needs. Along with this cheap
transportation came the newspaper,
magazines, telephone, and other means
of dissemination of information. In.
recent times the automobile has made ,
it possible for the farmer to Widen his ,
scope of. experiences and learn of new
things. This increased knowledge has
caused his wants to expand and neces-

sitated a greater money income to
meet his new requirements. » .

It seems that everything is working
toward the demand for a greater mon— 3
ey income for farmers as well as city

people. The wants of all of ups are
expanding at a very rapid rate. The

only way to‘keep pace with this in

‘ crease in our wants is to increase our

money 'income. This the farmer is
attempting to do in every way pos-

sible. ’ ]
Specialization in agriculture is one ;

of .the ways in which this is attempt-

ed. There is a great effort being made , 1
to increase the quantity of things ‘
which can be sold off the farm. It is
thought that the welfare of the farmer
depends upon the amount of his mon~
ey income. This is not always true.

There is a great difference between

money income and real income. Mon- ’3"
ey income is the amount of money 3‘
which is received. Real income is the i

amount of economic goods which this
money income will buy. A man’s mon-
ey income might remain the same,
but if prices went up his real income 3
would be lowered. During the war '
many persons who w0rked on a fixed 3'
salary had their real income decreas- 3
ed because of the rise in prices. These ‘ if.
increasing prices made it impossible if
for the same amount of money to buy 3 3
as much‘ as it formerly did. In June, 3
1924, wholesale prices were about it -
forty-five points above the general _ ‘_
level of 1913. A man‘ earning the same 3
money, income now as in 1913 would 1*
certainly not have as great a real
income. , ,

We should not be led too far astrav m
in considering money income. it is ' '
natural for us to secure all themoney
we can. However, we should not for-
get that standard of living does not
depend entirely upon the amount of
money we have. This is particularly

HE Japanese beetle, a crop pest
introduced to this country from
ngm, is reported from Lena-

'. ,"wee and W’as’htenaw counties. Michi-
,san. This insect, a native to Japan,
. was introduced into the United States

New Jersey,
The exact

at. Burlington county,
probably prior to 1916.

. date of its introduction into this coun-

try cannot be definitely determined. It
has been working for some time in the
state of Pennsylvania but the recent
Michigan report is the first from a
western state.

The beetles appear about the fif-'
teenth of June and are 'most abundant
and active from the last of June to the
first of September. They are most
conspicuous and injurious in the adult
stage by reason of their injury to fol-
iage and ripening fruit. The insect is
practically omnivorous, feeding on the
foliage of weeds of many kinds, small

« fruits, such as blackberries, raspber-
' ries and grapes, fruit trees, such as

apples, sweet cherries and many kinds
of ornamental ’shrubs. ~They also de-
vour such field crops as corn, soy—
beans and clover blossoms and timber
and shade trees, including the birch,
oak, elm, linden, horse chestnut and
willow.

The female lays her eggs in the
ground in the summer, from thirty to
sixty in” number during the season.

These eggs hatch into larvae whichr

stay in the ground and feed on roots
of grasses and other vegetation. They
are especially injurious in fall and
spring to pastures and grasslands.
During the winter the grub remains
dormant in the, ground: In late spring
they change to pupae, which develop
'into the destructive parent beetles.
.The Japanese beetle is about the
size of a potato bug but more elon-

At one time actual extermination of
the insect might possibly have been
accomplished. . Now complete exterm-
ination of the insect is no longer with-P
in the realm of possibility because of
the great area infested. All we can
do is to prevent the spread of the pest
over long distances. A ray of hope is
discernible in the proposition to in-
troduce from Japan and other Oriental
countries natural enemies of the in-
sect, which are likely to be effective
in holding down the pestiferous insect
to within reasonable bounds much as
the lady bug keeps in check to a cer-
tain extent the aphis. In fact, several
shipments of parasites have already
been sent to this country for study,
reproduction and liberation in the ter-
ritory infested with this unwelcome
immigrant. Such species of parasites
are in no case dangerous to the pro-
duction of crops in this country. That
was fully and definitely determined be-
fore their introduction into this coun-
try by government authorities. The
parasites mentioned are not vegeta-
tion-feeding types. Another control
method is the good old reliable arse-
nate of lead or Bordeaux mixture.

The insect found in Washtenaw and
Lenawee counties has been identified
by the Michigan Agricultural College,
entomology department, as a “true”
Japanese beetle, and as a result both
state and federal authorities are start-
ing a careful investigation to determ-
ine whether or not the dangerous crop
pest has entrenched itself to such an
extent that it will be impossible to
eradicate it from the vicinity in which
it was found.

Does It Pay to Plant Potatoes Early?

OES it pay? That is the final
D test of all agricultural practices.
, Measuring the efficiency of farm-
ing methods by the profit standard
brings decisions from which few ap—
peal. And it is the method whereby

. progressive men will determine the

economy of growing early potatoes in
Michigan.

The outlook of the movement to pro-
duce early spuds is not discouraging.
This has been the first season in
which many actual field teets have
been made. Since the past summer
proved a most unusual one from the
standpoint of weather, final decision
must be delayed till early crops are
tried over a number of. seasons.

The men, 'whoSe experiences are re-

ported in the following paragraphs, '

undertook the planting of spuds early
because, in this latitude, September
usually is the best month in the year
to market potatoes. During that month

anticipation of big offerings during
October and November.

However, the majority of the grow-.
ers of early spuds in the Detroit area
were able to market their crop before
the price had skidded to rock bottom.
The bulk of these tubers were taken
on the Detroit markets at an average
of about a dolla1 per bushel. Where

the bookkeeper from using red ink.
So, the practical grower naturally
asks, “Can one grow enough good ear-
ly potatoes to make a profit?” The
growers whose farms we recently vis—
ited have answers to this pertinent
question.

Take, for instance, Mr. McKinny,
who lives south of Belleville in Wayne
county. From a field of Cobblers
planted on sod, he harvested better
than 200 bushels per acre, while from
another field, treated in the same man— '
her and planted with the same kind of
seed, cxcept that the field had been
oat stubble instead of sod, the output
was but 100 bushels per acre.

Leaving companies a r e
An fond of gathering fig-
gures regarding the

Estate uncertainty of life, es-‘

pecially with refer.
ence to the accumulation of wealth.
It is well that these companies do this
for it brings to us a realization of what
the life history of the average indi-
vidual is. The one who gets interest-
ed in these figures becomes more can-
tious in the management of his
finances, and endeavors to plan ahead.

These statistics show that only
three men out of every hundred leave
estates of $10,000 or over; fifteen oth-
ers leave between $2,000 and $10,000,
while eighty-two of every hundred
leave no income producing estates at
all. In other words, the chances are
better than four to one that you and
I will die poor; we won’t leave the
world with any more than we enter-
ed it.

These figures almost scare a. fellow,
but the farmer need not take fright
as much as the city fellow. The farm-
er who owns a farm, has an estate to
leave; it is an income-producing es-
tate at that; at least it should be. If
that farmer sells out and goes to the
city the chances are that his money
will get away from him, and he will
be numbered among the eighty-two
who die poor.

So, from the standpoint of having
something in old age and of being in
a position to leave relatives at least a
little remembrance, it seems a wise
thing for a fellow to hold onto the
farm. Apparently a. good farm is good

that a field of beans

Crop grown from common

seed yielded him elev-
en bushels per acre, while the yield
from a similar field planted to the R0-
bust variety gave him a twenty-two
bushel crop.

Perhaps this is a larger difference
than usually obtains between crops
from the average seed and those from
good seed, butit all the more empha-
sizes the necessity of good seed in
growing good crops. The forward-
looking farmer will take advantage of
this fall season to provide himself
with the best seeds for 1925. Seed
can be chosen with more intelligence
now that next spring and there is op-
portunity for the farmer to give this
seed special protection against the
vicissitudes of extreme weather con-
ditions.

ARMING is unique

A among life’s activ-

. ities. It is a sort of
B‘mnesf three - in - one affair,
Enterprise whereas 0 t h e r life

works are usually
one-in-one propositions. A doctor is a
doctor; his home life is elsewhere; his
social activities are still in another
place. An auto mechanic puts in eight
hours at the shop, probably eight in
bed and eight in amusement and so-
cial activities. But, the farmer spends
twenty-four hours, sometimes it seems
like twenty-five on the farm. The
farm is his business, his factory, his
investment, his home and the scene of
most of his social activities. Farming
is a whole life, because it involves all
of life’s activities.
As a business, farming is the back-

bone of the country’s prosperity. And -

furthermore, the individual farm is
not a small affair when compared with
other businesses. The averages show
that each farm represents an invest-
ment of $12,000. That is a big average
investment when compared with a lot
of' “shoe string” ventures in other
lines of business. The farms, includ-
ing equipment and stock, comprise our
greatest national asset.

So, as the economic side of farming
involves business fundamentals, it
seems that it should be managed like
a business man would conduct it. That
means cutting wastes and leaks by
‘cow testing, chicken culling, proper
feeding of both live stock and soil, us-

ing good seed and doing the other

things which every farmer knows con-
stitutes good farming. In other words,
good farming is good business.

A prediction is

' Cold made by an official at-

Winter weather ‘ bureau that
we shall have a cold

winter. He has his professional rea-

sons for making the statement. But,
whether or not his prophecy comes
true, the fact remains that we should
always prepare for the worst.

Should it be cold, then the family
living in a, warm house will be kept
warm with less expense for fuel, will
suffer less from ill health and will be
better able to go about winter tasks
with a normal supply of energy than
those occupying. a cold house.

Further, the live stock in comfort-
able stables turns feed into animal

products more economically than stock

requiring additional feed to maintain
the bodily temperatures for the proper
functioning of the organs.

In other words, two objects will be
attained, particularly during a cold
winter, by having warmly constructed
homes and stables. The occupants en-
joy normal conditions and the expense
of feeding and heating is reduced.

Some time during the weeks before
cold weather is due, a building repair
campaign should be carried out on
every farm.

Series pers have had special

reporters engaged to
report on the scientific, the human and
the humorous side Of baseball. All this
ado has been because of the world
series in which two teams battled for
the world's championship. .

One humorous writer has called this
series the “world serious." But is he
right?

While this “serious” has been going
on. farmers have been busily engaged
in gathering the fall harvests, storing
away the results of their season’ 5 1a-
bor, or carrying it to the market. This
is an annual affair just the same as
the baseball world series. But it is
not acclaimed by the press; it has no
front page position in the papers. The
human and humorous side are left un-
touched. The business side is only
referred to on the market pages.

No, the autumn harvests are the
real world “serious.” It means bread
and butter, and shoes for the kiddies.
It means tax money, warmth and pro-
tection from the elements and perhaps
the enjoyment of some of the good
pleasures of lifex To the city man it
means higher oriowcr cost of living.

somethin’ and don’t know what, and
they’re also nice ta have around ta.
make folkses think you’re what you
call intelligunt.

There's some books what is as en-
tertainin’ as a funeral, and etc., like;
fer inst, a report of the Undertakers’

Early Blight Fungus, Cercospora apii

I got real excited when I
got that book, but
my englush and
what the book
was rote in was
differunt. so I
couldn’t make out
what it meant.

But some books
is otherwise.
They is life itself,
the d ee p and
good in life, and even sometimes the
shallow and bad. Books is often com-
panions and they is good ones, fer
they never argue with you and when
you get tired 0’ them you kin lay them
aside. You 'can't do that when, you
got friends visitin’ you and it’s past
bedtime. Our Sammie did it once; he
said. “I wish the company'd go home
so I could go ta bed.” He just said
what lots 0’ us think sometimes.

Books give you a inspirashun. You
know, when I read some books, I get
real ambishus. I just wanta take the
world by the tail and make it go my
way, but when I lay the book aside
and wake up, I hear Sofie sayin’, f‘You
lazy lubber, why don’t you do some-
thin’.” Then my ambishun gets less
ambishus ’cause I findI‘m just old

There’s ‘ lots 0’ books what/11;?)

Fer inst, a bank book is a nice thing
ta have, but you got ta have somethin'
in it ta make it interestin’. But there’s
some satisfacshun in havin’ a bank
book ta put somethin‘ in when you get
somethin’ ta put in it.

A pocketbook is a nice thing, too. For
inst, 3. empty pocketbook in the pock-

more’n anythin’ else. Itain’t packed

the best she kin get along that line. '

“Using the variety best suited for a

poses, is mueh more satisfactory than,

worth while to keep in mind the sea-
son of the year, for varieties vary so
widely in their season.” '

 

VEGETABLE STORAGE HINTS.

 

THE most important factors in the
proper Storage of vegetables are
temperature, moisture, ventilation and
the maturity of the crop

Vegetables should be full mature,
yet not over-ripe. Good ventilation

' should be supplied but different vegev

tables vary in their requirements of
temperature and moisture. The ma-
jority of them require cool, moist con-
ditions. All vegetables will keep bet~
ter when planted so that they will ma-
ture just before it is time to store
them.

Storage space may be provided in
outdoor pits, separate cellars, or in
the house cellar, but certain vegetar
bles, such as cabbage and onions, are
likely to cause a. disagreeable odor in
the house when stored in the cellar.
However, this is the most convenient:
place and, is usually used. Outdoori
pits are not as convenient and acces-

- sible as the house cellar.

Root crepe should be stored in box-
es with a covering of moist sand to
prevent wilting; Squash and pump
kins should be stored on shelves in a‘

which gnaw the trunks and roots.
Such injury is liable to occur at any
time after November 1, although most
of it usually is inflicted in mid-winter
or very early in spring under cover of
heavy snow and when the more fav-
ored food supply is running low.

That serious injury to orchard trees
by mice occurs only at irregular inter-
vals makes the menace the greater,
for it usually catches the orchardist
unprepared and wholly unaware of' the
damage being done until the melting
snow in spring uncovers the girdled
trunks, or the wilting trees in mid-
summer betray the hidden work of the
mice on the roots.

Preventive measures cost little in
comparison with the protection afford-
ed, and although frequentlya girdled
tree may be saved by timely bridge
grafting, an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure. Many pro-
gressive fruit growers realize this
truth and each fall and several times
during the winter, examine their or-
chards carefully for mouse signs. If
mice are present they prepare to de-
stroy them or take steps to prevent
their attacks upon trees.

Methods of preventing mouse injury
vary according to the species of mouse
and the cultural practices followed.
In much of the eastern United States
pine mice are present and their injury
is usually inflicted below the surface
of the ground. It is necessary to de-
stroy such mice unless they are driv-
en out by deep and clean cultivation
of the whole orchard. Where meadow
mice only are concerned, such meth-
ods as mechanical protectors and re-
pellant washes are practicable, al-
though the. destruction of the mice is
preferable“ .

methods of coping with field mice is

LEADS IN CANNED GOODS;

 

IN announcing the week. of Novem-
ber 8—1.5, as “Canned Foods Week,”
its promoters say that the United
States now produces more canned
foods than any othe‘ncountry, exports
more, and yet consumes more in its
homes. The great variety of foods
used on the'tabies of American fam-
ilies is indicated by the fact that the
canning industry in this country now
produces 200 different kinds of canned
stuff.

AMERICANS EAT MANY FOODS.

 

N investigation of the cost of liv-
ing of 12,000 workingmen’s famil-
ies, made by the United States Bureau
of Labor Statistics, showed that 125
different varieties of food were being
consumed in considerable quantities.

ONION GROWERS SATISFIED
WITH GRADES.
‘ HIPP’ERS in the eastern onion dis-
tricts are revising their opinions of
the new United States grades for

 

onions. They are finding them to be
practicable. Their early opposition
was based on .misunderstanding of

their requirements.

The new grades do not fix the mini-
mum definitely at one and one-half
inch, but merely places the minimum
size at this point where no other min-
imum is stated.

 

RADIO SERVICE GROWS APACE.

 

OUR years ago there were no radio
broadcasting stations in the Unit-
ed States, said Secretary of Commerce
Herbert Hoover, in addressing the
Third National Radio Conference,
which opened in thhington on Oc-
tober 7. Now there are 530 in opera-
tion, making radio available to every
home in the country. The sales of
radio apparatus have increased from
a million dollars a year to a million
dollars a day. It is estimated that
over 200,000 men are now employed in
the industry, and the radio audience
probably exceeds 20,000,000 people.

ens, they won't do it and get mad and
won’t speak to us. There are about-

MAM MOTH CLOVER.

 

I am thinking of seeding where I
have wheat, to late Mammoth clover
in the spring for the purpose of trying
to raise some clover seed. Would the
Mammoth be liable to yield more seed
than the Medium; Is it best to clip
the Mammoth in June, the same as
the Medium, or just save the first crop
of the Mammoth for seed?——C. W

Mammoth clover usually gives a. 11$
tie larger yield of seed than medium
or June clover. There is usually very
little difference in the price secured
per bushel for Medium and Mammoth
clover seed.

The first crop of Mammoth clover.
is harvested for seed. However, it is
advisable, in early June, to clip or pas-
ture the field in order that the amount
of vegetative growth may be held in
check. This practice usually increas-
es seed production.

h Mammoth clover is approximately
two weeks later than June clover, so
that the clipping made in early June
will not be large enough for hay. If
the season is somewhat backward and
the growth produced is short, would
not recommend clipping or pasturlng.

Farm Crops.

SWEET CLOVER CUT FOR SEED.

Sweet clover is a biennial or two?

second season, usually two crops are

production.
be used for pasture, or the crop my
be pastured the entire season.

When the second crop is harvested
for seed, all of the plants which pro-
duced seed will die immediately. If
considerable of the seed scatters, a.
reseeding might. occur which, under
very favorable conditions is likely to
produce a crop of hay the next sea:
son. The old plants, however, would
produce no hay. Sweet clover differs
from alfalfa in that old alfalfa plants
oftentimes live a number of years.—

Fords on

To make farming more profitable—to. make the farmer’s
life and the lives of his family happier and more
abundant, is the aim of the Ford Motor Company in
manufacturing the Fordson Tractor.

For by helping him to get more work done in less time
and at less cost than formerly, the Fordson Tractor light-
ens the farmer’s burden.

The vast resources of the Ford organization and the
highly Scientific factory methods which produce them so
economically in such large numbers, and of such splendid ,
quality, make possible the low cost price of Fordson

' Tractors and their superb performance.

Nowhere can the American farmer secure for so little 3
Tractor that will accomplish so much. The Fordson
Tractor is a practical, time-saving aid in plowing, har-
rowing, planting, mowing, harvesting, threshing, road-
mending and scraping, timber-cutting and sawing, haul-
ing, pumping, excavating-in fact every duty the farmer
must perform which requires power. —

Ask your Fordson Dealer, or write us, for a actual
demonstration, on your farm, of what the For son can
do for you.

On the other hand, very late plantings of sweet corn in two

they should be fed or otherwise destroyed as soon as the ears

Such trap crop plantings not destroyed at the proper time con-

quite as heavy as did his best early
stock. ‘

On the farm of George Schmidt, who
lives east of Plymouth, Irish Cobblers
poured out at the rate of 230 bushels
per‘ acre. His potatoes were planted
on heavier land than some other fields
in that section and, as a result, did
not suffer from lack of moisture dur-
ing a. drouth which visited the district
during July and early August.

‘ This drought infithe immediate vicin-

' ity of the farm of L Clemens was un-

usually severe, and his potatoes being
on light sandy soil, did not get to the
hundred-bushel mark; although on a.
former inspection of the field in July
there was an excellent stand.

The record yield of early potatoes
for the season is reported from the'
farm of Arnold Haener who conducts
his operations near the village of New
Boston. In July his stand was most
promising and evidently continued so,

V for the astounding yield is given at

above the 400-bushel mark.

Last week we saw the digger at
work turning out a ZOO-bushel crop on
the farm of I. R. Waterbury, in Oak-
land county. His nlneteenhcre field

These experiences strongly suggest
that success can be made of the early
potato growing in southern Michigan.
To justify this statement, be it said
that these men‘ have indicated that
they are going to continue. They con-
tend that even if profits are no more,
the early planting‘ of, at least, a p01:—

tion of the crop enables them to take '

advantage of the better distribution of
labor—it not being necessary to crowd
the work of harvesting into so short a.
period.

this belief, the educational committee
of this association is arranging for

of the cutworm. Farmers report, too,
that not in years have crickets or

,"twenty years.
{into the hard, green sticks, the saw

; went on oblivious of knots and cross

,_ . grsins. So Merton King, master of
;the saw, had gone through that part

of his life which lay on this side his "

great disaster.
. The old nan’ 3 blue gingham shirt
r clung dampiy to his thick, bent shoul-
. ders in the warmth of a late spring
' day. Sweat ran down the furrows of
his cheeks and into his white beard as
he labored steadily on, the only figure
‘ of industry to be seen from the little
public square of Greensboro, on the
worn grass of which lay the four most
important members of the Lake Gang.
' Sprawled out behind a whittled
bench, the four men were as.mnch
'alone by reason of the repute in
which they were held, as though they
had been miles back in the peaks of
the Adirondacks. A silence fell on the
group, and the four—all young and
with the stamp of the out of doors on
their faces——gazed at the rising and
falling shoulders and the inscrutable
face of Old Man King.

Bill Smith, leader of the gang by
right of his brain and an arm with
thickness and fiber matched by no

. man in that county, gazed with the
others and at the same time took lit-
tle glances at,the faces of his com-
panions. More particularly he watch-
ed the face of Black Pete Payshaw,
the French-Canadian, whose lips still
curled in the sneer that had gone
with his last words. Joe Burk and
Jack Carey, hard and lean six-foot-
ers, wore scowls of indecision on their
weathered. faces. Black Pete raised
his barrel-like body from the grass
and pointed a. stubby finger at Bill.

“I tole you Old Man King’s got that
money,” he said with low-voiced ve-
hemence. “Ten, twenty year he’s got
him hid somewhere. Gold, maybe.

what happen? They all go to jail.

wood twenty years? For ake folks
think he’ s poor, that' s W jHe know
wheie that counterfeiter- gold is hid
right now, you bet. Give me chance
at him for one-half hour—I make him
tell!”

As Black Pete finished there were
grunts of approval from Burke and
Carey. Already they had said they
were in favor of extracting old King’s
secret by what means might be neces-
sary. Bill Smith knew that the
strength of his leadership was being
sorely tried, even as his patience had
been ever since Black Pete dug up
that old story about the counterfeiters’
hoard. His first impulse was defiance,
but, as before, he checked it and made
again the arguments that he had

‘ grown weary of hearing himself re-

“They ain’t nothing to it, Pete, and

.In time to eat with Dad; ‘

Then he says, “Son, be good today."

Smith, and by the very fact that he
used many words Burke and Carey
were silenced, if, indeed, either would
have dared to voice a. protest unled.
Not so Black Pete Payshaw. Rebel-
lion smoldered in his half shut eyes
as he squatted on his haunches, long
arms hanging free, and regarded his
chief with the deliberation of a ready
but cautious snake.

verree fine!" he exclaimed.
"fife wait, and maybe somebody come
along and marry Eve King and get all
Old Man King’s money easy-l"

Bill leaped to his feet. Then he re-
membered that the little square was
in the heart of the village, with stores
on two sides and homes of all the
most respectable citizens on the other
two. With a great effort he held him-
self in control.

“You leave her out of this!” he
growled, thrusting out his chin at
Pete. “We ain’t talking about women!”

Bill saw Paysh‘aw glance at the oth~
er men. Plainly they were vacillating.
Suddenly the situation. was clear to
the leader. Pete had planned a quick,
concerted attack here in the public
square with the object of humiliating
him before all the mid-afternoon loaf-
ers of Greensboro. The feared and
unconquered chief of the Lake Gang
was to be made a laughing-stock so
that Pete Payshaw could take his
place and try to uncover Old Man
King’s hoard!

selves.” It was time to pass the
affair off as a joke to the village.

“‘Yon tellers ain’t going to do any-
thing, I guess,” said Bill. “You jest
had your chance, and you didn’t take
it. I don’t want to hear no more about
this fool kettel of gold!”

He took his knee from the neck, of
the French-Canadian and leaped back
to his feet, ready for possible attack.
But Black Pete knew, apparently, that
there was a time to fight and a time
to wait. He got up stiffly, clawing
grass and dirt from his face, and forc-
ed the caricature of a smile. The store
porches, expectant a moment before,
settled back to normal, and Bill no-
ticed that Old Man King, who had
held his saw poiSed over a stick of
oak, dropped the blade and let it

“You are verree- strong mans, Bill
Smith," said Pete; “verree strong

when the other man look the wrong
way!"

“You got a chance to fight right
now!”

But Black Pete did no more than grin.
Bill waited a moment, and then, turn-'
ing sharply, walked away. He knew
well that it had been no fair test of
fighting strength and that, sooner or
later, he would have to come to grips
with the Frenchman in a manner and
time'of that wily fellow’s own choos-
ing. But the fight was not to be
dreaded. If Pete thrashed Bill he

He passed, musing, through the vii4
{age and came to what was called the
back road, leading down neat! his
shack on the lake shore and on past
Ledge. Hill. where Merton m and
his daughter, Eve, lived in a weather-
beaten old house that looked out over"
many blue miles of water. It was no‘
wellctravele'd road. and so, when a '
stone clicked beyond a sharp bend, Ell
moved to One side and half into a
‘ clump of busheshready to disappear

or come forth as the passenger ahead
might be friend or enemy. Every man
about Greensboro owned shotgun or
rifle, and of. late some had got out
their weapons with mutterings against
the Lake Gang and law1essness that
oduid be traced to no other source.

Bill waited. There was a glimmer
of dull_ redthrough the leaves of a
budding maple, ahd"then a young wom-
an, walking easily from the hips, her
head thrown back in the spring sun-
. shine, swung into view. Tanned al-
most to swarthiness, her face was
shadowed by heavy masses of black
hair and by a look portending unpleas-
ant thoughts that made it seem dead
and listless even in the sunlight. Her.
eyes fell on Bill. Lights struck
through their brown depths, and sud-
denly she was beautiful._ He stepped
out of the bushes.

“Bill.” In one word the girl spoke
love, weariness, anxiety, intense long-
ing. Her head went down against the
shoulder of the big mountaineer, while
his arms clasped her gingerly, as
though they held some rare and frag-
ile thing that might be crushed by too
strong tenderness. For many seconds
neither moved nor spoke. _Then Smith
held the girl at arm’s length and look-
ed at her worshipfuily as his eyes
travel-ed from the little dusty shoes,
over the red dress, and rested on her
face, flashing now with smiles and
dimples. He, too, smiled until his face
softened and lighted and was almost
that of a boy.

“If your pa ketched us now, they
wouldn't nothing make him believe we
didn’t meet up on purpose!” he
laughed.

In an instant the brightness was
swept out of the girl's face. She look-
ed into his efesso searchingly that
his hands dropped from her shoulders
and he took a step backward.

“Bill, I’m worried,” she said.

“Now, Eve, don’t you be worried at
all!" he expostulated. “Some old wom-
an’s been talking to you again and
saying I was born to be hdng, and all
that kind of truck!”

“It ain’t so much that this time,"
answered Eve King slowly and still
with the look of questioning. “They’s
something wrong with pa, and some-
times it seems like the whole thing——
that Lake Gang and pa and what they
say about youwwas all connected up
together.”

Prayer. The two are inseparably
joined, for one can understand the
Sermon on the Mount only in the split-

Mount tends to lead one into the at-
titude of prayer: .

Blessed are the poor in spirit; bless-

stepped out and said; “Take me and
kill me. You know my rank. I am
the equal of ten common men. Kill
me, and the account will be square."
And that Indian chief stood there as
the enemy tribe shot him to death,
and peace was restored.

Doctor Charles Edward Jefferson
has an article, “HOW to Pray,” in one
of the church periodicals. Here are a
few sentences, without the quotation
marks. If you wish to learn to pray,
first of all select a place for prayer
and keep it sacred. Of course, one
can speak to God anywhere, but if you
would come to pray with largest sat-

when he strives after these spiritual
ideals.

Let us take the first one; blessed'
are the poor in spirit. The man poor
in spirit is open to receive help from
God. He wants it and asks for it. He
does not claim to know it all. He is
1? vain nor self-sufficient. Such a
.12“. -. is open to the best information,
11" iration, heavenly help. He wants
to grow. He does not say he has ar-
rived; He is glad to be arriving. The
kingdom comes to such men. They
are open to the light. Christ illustrat-
(I this in his famous comparison of
t’.1e publican and the pharisee. The
1Z1arisee was bursting with pride and
01mplacency. He was surprised at
3 ‘mself, he was so good. He ran over
'..1e list of his own personal virtues.
The publican, however, was so filled
with the sense of his own sin and un-
worthiness that he could only ask to
be forgiven. In that act he entered
the kingdom. The pharisee was as far
from the spirit of the kingdom as ros-
es are from the snows of January.

P ERSECUTION’ is a source of- joy,
says Jesus. If you do right and
are persecuted for it, happy are you.
We know little of that now. Perhaps
if we lived closer to the ideal we
would not be such strangers to perse-
cution. They know it in foreign fields,
where Christian practices come into
conflict with pagan practices. The In-
dian Ghandi is not a Christian in pro-
fession, yet his teachings are largely
Christian. He is against the caste
system. Recently a large company of
his followers resolved that on a cer-
tain day they would go to the temple
where the “untouchables” were, and
would mingle with them. We hardly
know What this means. To deliberately
associate with small pox patients
would not cause as much comment
here. But as they were about to do
this, the government interfered. Ghana
di desired to break down the imagin-
ary barriers of caste that make his
fellow countrymen hate each other.
He was not permitted to do so.
Peacemakers were never more need-
ed than at present. We are not fight-
ing each other after the manner of
savage tribes, burning down the hous-
es of hostile villages and carrying off
the women and girls. But much of
our society is at war with the rest of
it; labor against capital, unions
against non—unions, and all the rest of
it. We do not go at it as openly and
bloodily (eXCept in spots) as our an-
cestors did, but the various sections
of society still retain their ancient
pagan qualities.

Many prayers are uttered with no
pure motives. If a man prayed that

prayer. -But not more so than many
that are offered. Says another, “Pray-

spiritual power, or it is vanity and
emptiness.”

.GRAINING AND cor/lame.

 

p RAINING is a finish for woodwork
that has been largely displaced in;
recent years by plain painting, but it
must be admitted that it is a (very
serviceable finish, since it does not
readily show marks. Probably its dis-
use was due to an ultra-sensitive feel-
ing concerning imitative work .in
paint. But there is not a. bit of ex-
cuse for .having graining of this sort.
Instead, we can have combing of a
‘kind that does not pretend to be any-
thing other than what it is, and this
combing has all the practical merits
which graining possesses. The process
consists in applying a. thin finishing
coat of any color desired, and then
running through it a. metal or other
comb, so producing a. patterned sur-
face.- An astonishing number of dif-
ferent effects can be produced with
straight and wavy lines and by dots
and dashes. This is a treatment that
commends itself especially for the
kitchen. One can have, for instance,
dark blue painted woodwork combed
in white, giving a. grey effect. In
painting a dresser the woodwork
could be finished in a plain color and
panels lined with a. comb. The possi-
ble color combinations are indeed. in-

ABOUT THE CHRISIMAS CACTUS.

 

_ Will you please tell us when to let
a Christmas cactus rest, and for how
long, so that it will blossom at Christ-
mas? Also please send a; recipe for
grape juice—Mrs. R. B.

If the cactus is kept in the sunniest .

corner of a bay window in the tem-
perature of rooms such as we deem
comfortable to sit in during winter in
our varying climate, it will flower
about the turn of the year. The time
or date of flowering can be fixed with
reasonable certainty by keeping it
growing for a longer or shorter pe-
riod of time, simply by supplying a
moderate amount of water, thus
lengthening the growing season. In
doing this, it is Well to consider wheth-

po'alihle to bake bread in. either-

er the-plant is pot-bound or whether ‘

it has recently been repotted. If the
latter, water, sparingly. Keep growing
until the new growths are one~ inch or

more in length, depending upon the . .

age, size and. vigor of the‘plant. All
cactus. plants should have a distinct
period of rest, the major portion of
the year, at least, and when wanted
to flower commence by giving water

sparingly, and» then not oftener than , ._.

once a week.

For grape juice, it is. best to use
grapes just before they are dead ripe.
Remove stems, wash and put on to.
cook. Add water equal to one-half the
volume of fruit. Cook just below the
boiling point until the seeds begin to
show. Strain through a flannel cloth,
or two thicknesses of cheesecloth. To
every eight cups of juice, add one cup
of. sugar; reheat, pour into sterilized
bottles or fruit cans and seal. Other
extractions may be made from the
same fruit and the juice used for jelly.
Another very satisfactory method
which preserves the natural flavor of
the fruit better, is to put two cups of
washed grapes into a sterilized quart
can, add one—half cup of sugar, fill with
boiling hot water and seal.

APPLE MARMALADE.

 

Will you kindly give a recipe for
apple marmalade ?—Mrs. W. T. W.

For apple marmalade, pare, core and
cut into small pieces any coarse—grain-
ed apple. Cook until soft, in barely
enough water to prevent burning. Run
through a sieve. Add an equal amount
of sugar, boil until thick and put up in
jars or glasses. Cover with paraffine.
When cold it should cut like cream
cheese. Lemon or orange juice may
be added while cooking, if desired.

some of the folks in Woodland thought
he was inclined to be a little bit lazy.

So it was this bright day that Bruin
was hunting: in the Big Woods for
branches o£.WQod...to carry home, and

who had fed him and who finally un-
fastened the big chain, that Bruin
_might come back to his Woodland
friends. This little boy looked very
much like the other lad, and naturally
Bruin’s tender heart swelled in sym-
pathy.

But Bruin was afraid that if the lit-
tle boy saw him he would be fright-
ened and run away, so he hurried back
home and told R'olly Rabbit about him.
Rolly Rabbit started out through the
woods and soon found the little boy,
still crying beside the stump. The lit-
tle boy stopped crying as Rolly Rabbit
tried to talk to him. It was nice to
have such ahcompanion trying to make
friends with him after being alone in.

Roll}!r Rabbit tried to tell the little
boy about Brain and the home where
they would soon have a nice warm
dinner. The little boy also tried to
tell Bruin how it was that he became
lost in the Big Woods 'when he had
come to gather hickory nuts, but they
couldn’t understand each other.

Finally Rolly Rabbit pointed off to.-

rubbed his stomach. The little boy’s

An Adventure

A story from 072? of Our Story Contest: ‘
By Georgia Brown

HIS is the life!” sang out Bob
as he steered the little sailboat

, . to the-south. '

“You bet!” agreed Dick, heartily.
“Lake Michigan and a new sailbdat is
the place”‘for a good time.”

Gaily singing and laughing, the ten
inexperienced boys sailed on, keeping
just within sight of the coast. A gay
little breeze blew from the west, gent-
ly rippling the water.

“I say! Isn’t this great?” exclaimed
Donald, as the boat rocked on the tiny

waves.
And so they sailed through the af-

ternoon, and at last began to prepare
for home. In their excitement and de-
light they hadn’t noticed that the gay
little breeze had become stronger, un—
til the tiny waves were fast becoming
big white caps. Too late they learned
that they should have turned shore:
ward an hour before. The sun, like a
great ball of fire, was sinking into a
mass of dark clouds just above the
horizon.

“You, Dick, and Bill, and the rest of
you, hurry that sail down quick,” or-
dered Bob. “Donald, come help'me
turn this critter around.”

But, as usually is the case, it was

easier said than done, and the sails-—
full blown— would not come down.
Strange, but the boat wouldn’t turn to
the north.
east}

“We can’t land any old'place,” cried ,

Don excitedly. “We’re just about even
with the girls’ camp, and it’s shallow
near shore. We’d be turned over if
we tried to land there. WheW! It’s
getting dark fast.” '

“Every fellow rack your brains for
a way out of this,” shouted Bob above
the turmoil of .the waters. “There
might be a chance of being seen if we
signalled.” ,

- “Signal! Signal!” echoed the other
boys, as they ran for a light.

“Anybody got a flashlight?”

“One on deck.”

They flashed for help until the bat-
teries wore out, then peered eagerly
towards shore.

“A light!” Madly excited, did their
eyes deceive them? No. It was a
light signaling to them—at last they
might perhaps be saved.

After burning their sweaters and
coats for signals, they waited with a.
faint hope for some other sign of
help. None came but the repeated
signal.

The boat rocked perilously and the
the boys rushed above the deck as

though crazy. Every new wave threat-

ened to capsize the boat, and the boys .

never expected to catch sight of home,
mother, and dear old dad again.
Then—it came. With a roar the

'boat capsized, leaving the boys help-

less in the foaming water. Luckily
every boy could swim or float, and
stayed on top for a few minutes. Just
as Bill was about to sink, a blinding
light was turned upon him, and he was
hauled onto the lifeboat. One by one,
the rest were found, and taken home
safely.

The Camp Fire Girls had answered
the boys’ signals and telephoned the
life guards. By untiring and trained
muscles they were able to row swiftly
and to reach the boys in time.

 

 

@UUR LETTER BOX

 

 

 

Hello, Evei ybody!

You will be surprised to hea1 £10m
Western Twins. We are f1om the
state of Wyoming. I will tell you now
how we happen to be in the state of
Michigan. We have been spending our
vacation traveling, and of all the
states we have been through we like
Michigan the best. We sure think you
have a beautiful state, especially the
northern part. We are visiting rela—
tives here now and will stay for a
while.

We have been 1eading the childien’ s
page in the Michigan Farmer f01 quite
a while. I believe it is all 1ight 1'01 a
girl to have hei hair bobbed and wear
knickers. My twin sister does, and if
she had long hai1 and w01e long dress-
es, ou1 vacation wouldn’t have meant
much to her. We are the best of pals,
when one goes the othe1 gees also.
We can sew, cook, mend and do any-

thing outside of the house. We live
' 3%}. large ranch and like ranch life

We can give no definite address
now, as we stay only a few weeks at
one place, but we think it would be
'nice if we could correspond with some
Merry Circlers.

Hope we haven’t taken up too much
space. —-—From loving twins, Ruth and
‘Rufus Grant.

I think we are all glad to hear from
the western twins. We are also glad
that they think that we have “some
state.” Ruth and Rufus, write again.

 

Dear Uncle Frank and Cousins:

My, but it seems that our vacation
has been so short. I am twelve and
in the sixth grade. I like to go to

school; did you, Uncle Frank, when
you were a boy? I’ll bet you were a
bad one, weren’t you?—Your niece,

Jewel Pinkston, M. (3., Linden, Mich.

No, I was the “goodest” little boy
that ever was (?) You can ask my
teacher if you don’t believe it.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

I read the letters from Merry Circ-
lers. Most of them seem to be about
bobbed hair, knickers and paint, or
about the Waste Basket. Now, most
organizations have a purpose; is your
page just a page on which boys and
girls give their opinions, pro or con,
on such questions as I have named
above, or is there some higher mo-
tive? If so, I would like to know
what it is. —-—With kindest regards, I
am, Bernard F. Gaskill, R. ,3, Kalama-
zoo, Mich. J

is enjoyable and beneficial.
not confined to the subjects you men-
tion. We want to and have included
more serious ones.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

I also think it is time to stop dis-
cussing bobbed hai1, knickers and
“Are boys rude to girls?” I think
books (as Helen Dunbar suggests) is
a much better subject. Some good
books are: - “Cousin Maud, ” "Twenty
Years of Hustling,” and “Little Eada. "
I like to read very well and also like
to go to school. I am in the tenth
grade, and like algebra the best of all
my subjects. I also take Latin 1, Eng-
lish II and community civics.

Thanking you for my flashlight, I
will close. ——Your niece, Lucile Pearce,
R. 4, Osseo, Mich.

It is nice that you like books, for
books are good friends to those who
know how to use them. They cheer,
inspire and entertain.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

I sure do like the boys' and girls’
page. I don’t know why girls think
boys are rude. My daddy was a boy
once and I sure think he is the best
daddy in the world I have no broth-
er, but have four sisters. I also have
a little nephew, I sure love him.——-
Your niece, Pearl Holmes, Decatur,
Mich.

If your daddy was a boy once, cer-
tainly all boys can not be rude. That’s

right, stick up for your daddy.

 

Dear Uncl'e Frank.

I received my flashlight O. K. and
you can bet I was tickled to pieces.
I could hardly wait for night to come
so as to try it out. I think quite a
lot of it, even though I am a girl.

Shocking time is over at our ranch,
and I’m not sorry, especially about the
barley part of it. Am glad we don’t
have to shock beans.

Thanking you very much for the
flashlight, I remain, another niece,

“r am sorry that you. were tickled to

pieces, and I hope you succeeded in

getting all the pieces together again.

I, too, am glad I don’t have to shock
beans, because I don’t like to shock
anything. -‘

 

Dear Uncle Frank: . V

I am going to school in the mom-'
ing. I thin k1 will go through college
when I get klarge enough.

Today I went to Torch Lake, and I
saw two ducks swimming
tame ones, though. I looked through
a field glass and saw over on the
other shore, about two miles across. —-
From another M. 0.,
Camp, R. 2, Rapid City. Mich.

You certainly did some long-dis-
tance lacking. ~ But, Ithink it is nice
to see both sides of anything, don't
you? I hope you don’t go through col-
lege like; a. lot of folks (lo—walk

your ambition to attend college.

 

Dear Uncle Frank.

Polly! Polly! What a sight,

What’s the matter with your head?

A girl is just as rude as a boy

They have to have things to enjoy.

They love to tease.

I love to please,

So I will please

By letting them tease. '

Really, Uncle Frank, I don’t like to
see a. girl go in the school house and
tattle on a boy who didn’t hurt her;
and as for the bobbed hair and knick-
er question, Margaret is right. If a.
girl wants to have her hair bobbed,
it’s her hair and she’s not hurting any-
one. My mother and I nboth have
knickers for riding ourpo

Well, I believe I will close and ride
the pony to the mail box 2to mail this
letter. ———Ruth Burkett R. 2,Dowagiac,
Mich.

I don’t like tattle-tales, either. It
may be all right to let them tease to
please them, but sometimes boys ad-
mire best the girls who stand up for

their own rights.

Helen and Her Pigs.

ELEN COFFMAN, a. pig club

member of Goldwater, won more
prizes on her pen of Spotted Poland-
China pigs than any other exhibitOr
with a like number of pigs in the
whole show at the recent State Fair.
She made this enviable record against
strong competition, showing in the
open classes against two good herds
from Ohio and two of the leading
herds in our own state. '

In addition to taking everything in
sight in the club classes, she” won
prizes in the open classes as follows:

First, junior boar pig; first, junior
sow pig; first, produce or dam; sec-
ond, get of sire; second, breeders’
third,— exhibitors herd;

  

     

Helen' is a Me nry Circler.

junior champion sow, and reserve
grand champion sow.

Helen is entitled to be justly proud
of the showing she has made. Her
father, in commenting upon her suc-
cess, says, “To me the really pig part
of the winnings is because she is a
club member and it was club work

that helped her to cheese the right

kind of pigs and develop them “to a.
winning point.
that for augirl it means real progress.

Every boy and girl should have a,

three-year course in club work. Of

course, I am glad to have my daughter 1
win, but I am more glad to show. that" .

' motion the discussion has taken

the tax-111, of bobbed hair.

One may readily see that there is a

called conservative element there
would be no trouble, but it exists and
therefore the battle—goes merrily 011.

Having disposed of the hopelessness
of this situation, we will now turn
our attention to the valuable time that
is being wasted in these senseless ar-
guments. in the first place I believe
that if some people would employ the
time, otherwise used in discussing this
topic, to some better purpose, they
would be surprised at the results.

I will conclude by stating that this
question will never be definitely set-
tled as long as one soldier is left on
each side.

BOBBED HAIR CONTEST WINNERS.

 

WAS very niuch pleased with the

results of the contest on the value
of the discussion of bobbed hair. The
number who responded did not please
me as much as the opinions expressed.
Another thing which made me feel
good was the way the boys responded
to this contest. As you will see by
the results: the boys were very active

OME of us go to school be-
cause we like to, but a great ‘
many go because they have to.
Perhaps the reason so many do
not like school is because they
do not realise the value of an'
education. To get some thoughts
1 along this line I am going to

‘What I get. out of going to
school.”

The two best discussions of
this "subject will win for their

three best, flashlights; and the
next five best, cute little boxes
of candy.

Please write on one side of
the paper only and put your

BEDS FOR THE‘ TUBERCULOUS.

 

HEN Doctor R. M. Olin, State

Commissioner of Health for

Michigan, asked the National
Tuberculosis Association to send an
expert to see how thoroughly Mic-hi—
gan is prepared to take care of her
people who have tuberculosis, he did
not expect “anything startling.‘ The
National Tuberculosis Association
sent their medical expert, Doctor H.
A. Pattison, of New York. Doctor Pat—
tison does not think that Michigan is
up to the mark. It is his opinion that
the state should have increased accomr
modations to the extent of onethou-
sand beds.

The commonly accepted formula is
that tuberculosis patients in any state
require sanatorium beds in number
equal to the average annual number
of deaths from that disease.

Deaths from tuberculosis in Michi-
gan in the past five years average
3,056 annually. \The total number of
beds now in this state for the care
and treatment of those ill with tuber-

' .culosis is 2,305, accordingto Doctor

Pattison, .whose thorough report can-
not be questioned. This leaves an ab—
solute deficiency of 751 beds.

“One hundred and thirty beds are
considered unsuitable for adequate

.modern treatment of tuberculosis and

should be replaced. The net deficiency
therefore, amounts to 881 beds.

HAS SOFT LUMP ON BACK.

 

A woman sixty- one years of age
wishes to know What to do for a lump
which does not hurt and seems to be
only soft flesh. Please tell us if it
will keep on getting larger and if it
will cause serious trouble. It is on
he1 back. —Mrs. F.

There is a good probability that
such a. lump is a fatty tumor of benign
character, and as she is sixty~one it
may be wise to leave it alone. To be
on the safe side, however, she should
take the first opportunity of having it
examined by a, reliable physician who
does not have to depend upon guess-
work for his judgment.

A relative who died of tuberculosis
left several good suits of clothes. How
may they be made fit for use?——C. J. .

Sunlight is the best disinfectant and
hanging them out in the sun for a pro-
tracted period is as good a measure

OME poultrymen in Ohio are hav-

me good results by adding to the

dry mash what is called the Ohio

mineral ration. It consists of sixty

per cent/fine ground bone meal, twen-'
ty per Cent fine ground limestone and
twenty per Cent salt. Four per cent

of the mineral ration is sometimes

added to the dry mash in place of the

meat scrap. And it is also used when,
the mash contains less than tenrper

cent meat scrap. .-.

Mineral Mash.

Pullets which are maturing too rap-

idly in the fall can be somewhat re-

tarded by using the mineral ration in

the mash instead of meat scrap. Then

the young birds receive the elements

to build sturdy frames but they are

not stimulated so much to produce

eggs as is the case when there is

meat scrap in the mash. I have placed ,
pans of oyster shells on the range for .
pullets and find they will quickly learn

to eat some of the shell. When they

form the habit it can be given in hop—
pers. If the oyster shells contain nec-
essary lime for the hen’s body, they
must also be of value in the pullet
ration although not so. much is requir—
ed as for laying hens.

If the pullets receive plenty of oys-
ter..shells in the fall they may be able
to build up a reserve of lime which is
useful when egg production begins.
Then there will be very few soft shell-
ed eggs and this reduces the danger
of the egg-eating habit during the win-
ter. Supplying the mineral ration to
hens seems to give them something
they crave.
prevalence of the common vices dur-
ing winter confinement such as the
feather, egg-eating and other habits of
indolence.

Weight of Egg Shells.

One scientist has found that eight
per cent of the average egg is com-
'posed of shell and it takes 1.6 pounds
of shell to cover the eggs of a hen
producing 160 eggs per year. This
gives an idea of what a high powered
shell factory the 200 to 300-egg hen
It means that oyster shells
must always be present or the hen
cannot manufacture enough shell to
cover the eggs she is capable Of lay-
ing.

Itis not only soft-shelled eggs that
result in loss. The thin-shelled eggs.
that are good enough for home use
may be checked, cracked or entirely
broken in transit and this infiures the
appearance of a crate of eggs. Weak-
shelled eggs used for hatching are eas-
ily broken in the nests of setting hens.
Many are broken in the laying—house
or while being handled when gathered.
I think the use of mineral matter in
the ration as well as oyster shells in
the shell hopper, is a coming thing
with poultrymen who wish healthy
stock and- plenty of eggs.

English Day-old'Chick Scheme.

According to, a: poultryman just re-
turned frOm Europe the English some
times sell day-old pullets by crossing
Light Sussex hens with a Brown Leg-
horn male. As soon as the chicks
hatch the sexes can be accurately sep-
arated. 'The males can be forced for
early broilers and the females sold to
poultry keepers who are not breeders
but only wish them for egg ‘produc-
tion. ‘ - ' "

breeding the original sto'Ck as the sec-
ond cross would be a queer mixture
and possibly of little value. A, bieeder

RESULTS OF Cow, TESTING
WORK.

.

 

HE September test of 283 of the 315

cows in the Marquette-Alger Coun~
ty Cow Testing Association resulted in
first place going to twenty—eight cows
belonging to the Bay Cliffs Farm, Big
Bay, near Marquette.

There \are twenty-four herds in the
association. Of all the cows tested,
twenty-nine cows produced between
forty and fifty pounds of butter-fat,
eleven cows over fifty pounds of fat;
fifty—five cows produced better than
1,000 pounds" of milk, and fourteen
cows produced over 2,250 pounds of
milk. The high individual record he-
longs to a cow of the Big Bay herd
which produced 1,630 pounds 'of milk
and sixty-four pounds of fat during the
test period.

The average output of milk and but-
ter-fat for each of the four cow test-
ing associations in the Upper Penin-
sula during September is reported by
the tester to be as follows: Delta,
525.2 pounds of milk, and 21.5 pounds
of fat; Menominee, 480 pounds Of milk
and 18.2'pounds of fat; Iron, 662.7
pounds of milk and 26.9 pounds of fat;
Marquette-Alger, 630.7 pounds of milk
and twenty-four pounds of fat.

.. By .7. C. Ba/tzer

ETW-EEN the dates July 1.1923.
to July 1, 1924, fifty-five Michigan
cow Testing Associations have

' finished an association year.

The Oceana County Cow Testing As-
sociation. L. D. Leisenring, cow tester,
had the highest ‘ butter-fat production
average per'cow of all. Michigan cow
«testing associations. One hundred and
sixty-six cows produced an average of
342.6 pounds of butter-fat and 7,058.8

' pounds of , milk‘ for the association

year.

The West Allegan- Cow Testing As-
sociation, Leslie Wilcox, tester, stood
second in butter-fat production per
cow. This association averaged 335.9
pounds of fat and 7,170 pounds milk.

‘The Kalamazoo, Newaygo'and Ma-
comb No. 2 Cow Testing Associations
ranked third, fourth and fifth, respec-
tively, in highest butter-fat produc-
tion per cow. . “

The Clinton-Shiawassee Cow Testing
Association, H. V. Armstrong, tester,
had the highest milk production aver-
age per cow of all Michigan‘cow test-
had «thehighest milk production aver-
eraged 9,101.7 pounds of milk and
317.2 pounds of fat.

C. E. Burke, of Dimondale, Michi-
gan, a. member of the South Eaton
Cow Testing Association (Hans Kar-
del, tester), owns the herd having the
highest average butter-fat production
in the fifty-five Michigan Cow Testing
Associations. This honor stamps the
Burke herd as the best among 1,435
herds representing 15,491 cows. Burke
has seven pure—bred Holsteins in his
herd. These seven cows averaged 513.6
pounds of fat and 14,472.4 pounds of
milk. Here are the figures on Burke’s
cows.

This is the only herd in Michigan
Cow Testing Association history that
has a yearly production average above
500 pounds of butter-fat.

A herd of six pure-bred Jerseys own~
ed by Henry Myers, Oceana County
Cow Testing Association, ranks sec-
ond in butter-fat production. This
herd produced 488.85 pounds of butter-
fat and 9,198.3 pounds of milk. Wm.
Knobloch, of the East Allegan Cow
Testing Association had eighteen pure‘
bred and grade Jerseys that averaged
465.5 pounds of butter-fat and 8,752.7
pounds of milk.

The Newaygo Cow Testing Associa-
tion—oldest in the United States—had
two herds that ranked in the select
circle of the five highest producing
Michigan Cow Testing Association
herds. A. C. Nelson and E. E. Price,
of this association, ranked fourth and
fifth respectively. Nelson’s five pure—
bred and grade Jerseys averaged 464.-
48 pounds of butter-fat, and Price’s
six pure-bred and grade Guernseys av—
eraged 460.55 pounds of fat.

The following men are the “owners
’of the five highest milk-producing
herds: ‘

In the South Eaton Association, C.
E. Burke’s seven pure-bred Holsteins
gave 14,4724 pounds of milk; in the
West Kent” Association, J. C. Buth’s
nineteen pure-bred Holsteins gave 12,-

cow, Community Inks. Queen De Kol,

six years old, was the highest individ- ' \

ual butter-fat producer of all cows in
Michigan Cow‘ Testing Associations.
This cow produced 864.8 pounds of fat
and 23,141 pounds of milk. Tiedebohl
belongs to the South VanBuren Cow
Testing Association.

Harry Williams, of the North Kent
Cow Testing Association, has the sec-
ond highest butter-fatproducing cow.
His six—year-old pune—bred- Holstein
produced 719 pounds of butter-fat and
17,447‘pounds milk. Wm. Knobloch’s
eight-year—old grade Jersey made 715.3
pounds of fat and 19,4735 pounds of
milk. Sam O’Dell, of the Oceana Cow
Testing Association, had the fourth
high butter-fat producing cow. His
pure-bred Jersey, six years old, made
689.39 pounds of fat and 11,1214
pounds of milk. John Buth’s six-year-
old pure-bred Holstein fl made 686
pounds of fat and 19,4735 pounds of
milk. This cow ranked fifth in butter-
fat production. ‘

The five highest milk-producing
cows out of the total of 15,491 cows in
fifty-five Michigan Cow Testing Asso-
ciations are Holsteins. Four of the
five cows are purebreds and one cow
is a grade. M. L. Noon, of the Jack-
son Grass Lake Cow Testing Associa—
tion owns the grade cow. John Buth

had highest, and also the third highest '

milk-producing cow. T. C. Tiedebohl
and John Calvert owned the other two
purebred Holsteins.

OATS FOR THE DAIRY COWS.

 

ATS will be more largely fed this

year than usual. Their abundance
and the shortage of corn will induce
farmers to depend more than usual
upon their supply of cats to com-
pound the dairy ration.

Oats are richer in protein content
than corn. For this reason they make
an excellent dairy feed. Best results
are obtained when they are ground or
crushed. The bulky nature of this
grain, together with their richer pro-
tein content, admirably fits them for
mixing with other feeds. Because of
these desirable characteristics, and the
fact that cat prices are on a lower
parity than most other grains, farm-
ers should not sell too closely of the
grain, especially dairymen who desire
to keep up a maximum flow of milk.—
W. B.

AMOUNT OF CONCENTRATES TO
FEED.

 

A COMMON rule for feeding grain
or concentrate mixtures is to give
the cows producing a. milk relatively
rich in butter-fat, one pound of the
feed for every three pounds of milk
produced. To cows producing milk
testing low in butter-fat, the ratio
should be one pound of the grain for
every four pounds of milk produced.
Where one knows the approximate
amount of butter-fat produced by a
cow each week, it is safer to feed as
many pounds of grain daily as the cow
produces pounds of butter-fat during
the week. ‘

A. few exceptions should be observ-
ed to the above rules. Just before
ireshening, grain should be fed spar-
ingly for a few days.
cows have reached a. full flow of milk

and fail to respond to additional feed, 1

RATI'ON FOR BROOD SOWS.

HERE are a great many rations

that are good for brood sows. I
do not know that there is any one best
ration. The important thing to re-
member is that the ration be well bal-
anced.

By a well-balanced ration we mean
one that supplies only what is neces-
sary of the elements essential for the
health and normal growth 0f the sow
and of the litter which she is carry-
ing. This means not only a nutritive
ratio of one pound of protein to six
pounds of carbohydrates and fats, as
we are in the habit of thinking of a.
balanced ration, but also the mineral
elements and the bulky foods that are
required for the normal building of
new tissue and normal, healthful func-
tioning of the vital organs.

Such foods as corn, barley and rye
are carbonaceous foods and make too
wide a. ration. Skim-milk, tankage,
and oil meal are nitrogenous feeds
and make too narrow a. ration. 'Oats,
wheat middlings and clover. are well

110 is concerned. We need not look
for any other foods to balance them,
but when we add corn, barley or rye
we should also add skim—milk, tankage
or oil meal in the proper proportion
to balance them. One pound of tank-
age, two pounds of oil meal or fifty
pounds of skim—milk should be added
to ten pounds of these grains.

A good ration for a sow consists of
corn and oats of about equal parts,
with fifty pounds of wheat middlings,

and. kitchen waétes. What she will
clean up in twenty minutes is, enough
to feed. In addition, she should have
plenty of fresh pasture, Or, in winter,
clever or alfalfa hay and a chance to

RECORDS HELP AT CULLING
TIME.

0 improve the flock inferior ewes

should be replaced with the best
of the lamb crop or by outside pur-
chases. We find that a record book is
a real aid in going about this work.
With records of offspring and shear-
ings, we‘ are able at a glance to know
the type of lambs produced and the

weight and quality of the shéarings of ,

every sheep in the flock. With this
information, a. study of the type of the
animal under consideration enables us
to make an intelligent decision. At

are merely the matter of proper man-
agrmient and a few hours of properly

ii directed labor. We all labor for mon-

ey withwhich to buy things to make
our lives more comfortable. Home
surroundings and conveniences are of
importance» in making the home life
more enjoyable. '

The general appearance of the farm
home is a. factor which has an influ-
ence upon the enjoyment the farmer
receives in living there. A nice lawn
well kept is‘a thing of beauty and
surely adds enjoyment to life. Flow-
ers and shrubs planted in the proper
place add to the general appearance.
A clean yard without the litter of

sticks, tin cans, pails, or old automo-

bile tires is pleasing to the eye. Ma-
chinery placed in sheds instead of set-
ting in disOrder around the farmyard
not only reduces machine cost, but
also makes the farm home more at—
tractive. .

There are numerous things which
can be dcne without adding materially
to the money outgo which makes life
on the‘farm more attractive and caus-
es the farmer to be proud of his home.
Then, there are things in the house
which can ‘add greatly to the comforts
of living. Broken down steps or loose
boards on the porch floor are not only
unsightly but dangerous. Windows
which will not open without a. crow-
bar or axe do not add to the pleasures
of house-keeping. Squeaking boards
in the floors or stairway, and'squeak-

ing doors are not things which add to

the comforts of home life or make the
baby sleep longer. A properly placed
wood shed, proper equipment in the
kitchen, running water, a sink, and

‘many other kitchen and household

conveniences can be cheaply provided.
Home conveniences are quite'essen-
tial to the comforts of home and just
as much attention should be given to
making the work of the farm lighter
and more pleasant as providing better
equipment in the field or barn.

The right kind of home decorations
which harmonize with the size of the
rooms and the furniture can be pro-
vided just as cheaply as the wrong
kind, and surely afford a greate’fi-‘satis
faction. Proper
women can be secured without a great
outlay of money.

to their getting out among people

ing worn. Beauty Within and Without
the farm home and in dress is becom-
ing a greater factor in farm life and is
making this life more and more at-
tractive.

The farmer can, with very lit 1e ex-
tra. trouble, provide many delicacies
for the home table. A dooryard gal-
den to provide green vegetables and

fruits for table is not a. matter of ex-:

pense. A better knowledge of variety
of diets on the part of farm women
will permit the family to keep in bet-

ter health and enjoy their food more;

A balanced ration should be of as

ing money to give thought to the prob-
lem of living.

vests may be Overdrawn, but there is
no denial that it has been quite severe.
The United States Department of Ag-

riculture estimates that total import.

requirements of all Countries will
range from 713,000,000 to 610,000,000
bushels. Surpluses available for ex-
port to supply these needs range from
685,000,000 to 600,000,000 bushels.
North America furnished 12,296,000
bushels out of total world shipments
of 14,589,000 bushels last week, and
the bulk came from the United States.
Besides the unusual foreign demand,
domestic mills are picking up good
wheat right along.

RYE

Rye was the star performer again
last week. This grain has advanced
45 cents in a little more than five
weeks with foreigners buying at every
step. The United States has the only
exportable surplus of consequence and
it is officially estimated at only 42,000,-
000 bushels. Import needs are 50 to
75 per cent more than that amount.
The difference will have to be made up
from wheat.— Last year, rye was an
under dog and sold on a feed gram

basis.
CORN

Corn advanced early last week when
frost damage threatened, but ignored
the injury afterwards until strength
in other grains pulled it out of the
rut. Killing frosts occurred over a
large territory and moderate damage
was done over much of the corn belt.
Unofficial estimates point to a crop Of

. about 2,450,000,000 bushels, not allow-
ing for recent frost damage or aban-

doned acreage.

OATS

Oats have had a sudden spurt, chief-

‘ly because of a change in the specu-

lative attitude. Export sales have been

.. . fairly extensive for the first time in
' * several years, reflecting the feed gram
situation abroad and the small surplus

in Canada. Primary receipts are quite
heavy ‘and cats are accumulating at
terminals in large amounts. This bur-

“ den is probabl‘y'close to its peak, how-

ewm

Be COWSVJ...H.H....,‘ ,-

' Unfavorable red clover seed crop re-
ports dontinue “to come from both at

home and abroad. The domestic crop ,

is not filling well and offerings from
.the country are not increasing as rape
idly as usual at this season. France
is said to have only one—fourth of a
crop and both France and Germany
are said to be trying to buy in this
country. Timothy seed is coming for-
ward freely but not as rapidly as last
year. The sweet clover seed‘crop is
likely. to exceed that of last year be-
cause' of better yields per acre and a
larger acreage- The harvest is two to
three weeks late.

Feed markets were generally firm

last week. Part of the improved tone '

was borrowed from the grain markets.
Consuming demand is still slow and
less interest is being shown in prompt
shipments than in future deliveries.
Oil meal prices are unchanged, with
supplies rather large.

. HAY

Hay markets were uneven again last
week. Alfalfa was stronger in most
markets but timothy was weak. Low
grades are not 'wanted even at big
discounts. The marketable surplus of
timothy is estimated to be about five
to ten per cent more than a year ago
in reports to the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture, the alfalfa sur-
plul slightly larger, clover about the
same and prairie the same to slightly
less than a year ago.

POULTRY. AND EGGS

Egg prices showed decided strength
again last week, especially for the
fresh article. November and early De—
cember usually represents the great-
est pinch in supplies so thata further
advance seems to be ahead. At this
season, express shipments of strictly
fresh eggs direct from the producer to
big eastern markets bring ,the greatest
premium over local prices. Broad con-
sumptive demand for poultry puts that
market in fairly good shape to receive
the fall runs. However, prices will
probably yield to some extent when

_ BUTTER

Butterprices have regained Part of
their recent loss. Lighter receipts, re-
ports of cold weather and a gradual
falling off in production, together with
a slight scarcity of fancy butter, have
strengthened the market. As'produe
ers become more dependent upon high-
priced concentrates to maintain the
*milk flow, production may decrease
more rapidly. Consumption ”of butter
is being stimulated by lower retail
prices, but the supply of .both fresh
and storage butter is in excess-of any
apparent demand. Some butter is be-
ing exported. Exports may. be fairly
large in the next few weeks, after
which southern hemisphere offerings
will begin to reduce the present short-

age in British markets. These condi-.

tions suggest that any rise in values
will be slow. '

Prices on 92-score creamery were:
Chicago 37 1Age ; New York390. InDe-
.troit fresh creamery in tubs sells f
34@35%c. -

CHEESE

Cheese prices are rather unsettled.
Recent advances at country markets
have carried prices too high, according
to many of the trade. Further upturns
in the immediate future are not ex-
pected and buying is slow.

POTATOES

Carlot shipments of potatoes are not
increasing as rapidly as they usually
do at this season of the year. As a'
result prices were firmer, and even
higher in some of the markets, includ-
ing Detroit. On this market cars sold
at $1.90@1.95 per 150-lb. sack of U. S.
NO. 1 stock. ‘

DETROIT CITY MARKET'

Markets were well supplied and with
selling brisk. A stronger market for
apples was a feature. Pears and plums
were scarce and moved readily. The;
supply of peaches was moderate. Crab-
apples were fair sellers and the mod-,
erate supply of grapes were taken
slowly. There was a fair demand for
cantaloupes and watermelons. Sweet
corn‘ was in better demand. Many to,
matoes were soft and prices suffered
some. The demand for potatoes was a
little stronger. Live poultry and eggs
were taken readily. l

He threw aWay his butteréfat

Let this Iowa story throw Some light
on your farming profits *

a Corn Belt farmer who purchased

a separator at public auction for

$11.00. He was congratulating himself on
his thrift, when along came an Association

a- PROMINENT farm paper tells about

Tester. The “bargain” was tested. The
test disclosed that $7.60 worth of butter-fat
had slipped by into the skimmed milk.

No State or Government' inspector
comes around to test the lubrication of
your automobile, truck or tractor. If there
were lubrication inspectors there certainly
would be even more farmers who use
Gargoyle Mobiloil.

"Bargain price” oils or

low-cost lubrication?
Cheap oils are just as uncertain and ex-
pensive to use as cheap separators. That 18
why practically every manufacturer of
automobiles, motor trucks and tractors
endorses the Gargoyle Mobiloil" Chart of
Recommendations.

These experts have inspected thousands
of automobile engines. They
know that over half of all
moving parts wear out prema-
turely because of incorrect
lubrication. They know that
millions of horsepower are lost

game

every year because of incorrect oil. They

know that correct lubrication would save

millions of dollars of farm profits which
now get away because of unnecessary re-

. pairs and replacements.

Consumers, too, have discovered that
Mobiloil is the cheapest oil at any price.
“Suppose it does cost mere by the barrel,”
they say, “ It also cbstsiless by the year}:

Gargoyle Mobiloil is made by a company
which for-more than 58 years has special-
ized solely in lubrication. That is why the
Chart of Recommendation is the accepted
scientific guide to low cost lubrication.

The chart is shown here in part. If your

automobile, motor truck, or farm tractor is '

not listed in this partial chart, see the com-

_plete Chart which hangs on the dealer’s
walls. Or write our nearest Branch for our-

booklet “Correct Lubrication. ”

Tractor Lubrication
The correct engine Lubrication' for me

Mobiloil “BB” in summer
and “A” in winter. The cor-
rect oil for all other tractors is
specified 1n our Chart. Ask for
it at your dealer’s.
