HERE is new ofifthe, demand ‘





for truth-intabrics legislation com-

ing from the producers of wool and

consumers of ‘

committees were instructed to have a

branding bill ready-for consideration

when congressmeets.’ The State Farm

Bureaus are writing to these commit-

tees fdr information regarding the

status of the truth-in-fabrics bill and





to find out where the committee stands . -





in regard to it. Michigan farmers are

writing to Representative Carl anes,

of Grand Rapids, in regard to the

matter.





TO REORGANIZE EXECUTIVE DE-

C PARTMENTS. ~





 





 





HE reorganization of the executive

departments of the government is ~

to be taken up in the next session of

congress, it is probable with increased





vigor. Among other proposals is the

transfer of the bureau of roads from

the department of agriculture to the

interior department, and the creation

of a new division of transportation in

the department of commerce, which

would have for its functions the co—

ordinating of rail, water and highway

transportation.





WINS SUIT AGAINST RAILROAD.





 





HE action of the Falmouth. Co—



’operative Marketing Association

of Wexford county against the Penn-

sylvania Railroad for damages result-

ing from failure of the company to

furnish cars for the shipment of pota-

toes was tried at the October session





‘ of the Circuit Court of that county.





The jury agreed that the railroad was

at fault and awarded The Association

damages to the amount of $15,379.59.

The case has been appealed to the

Supreme Court. A fundamental prin-

ciple is involved in this case and farm-

ers, particularly organized farmers,

will watch the outcome with much in-

terest.





 





DOES NOT WANT CUTS IN AGRI-

CULTURAL BUDGET.





 





N View of the demand of President



Coolidge that appropriations and

taxes be cut to the limit, Edwy B.

Reid, of the American Farm Bureau

Federation, has filed a. plea in General

Lord’s ofiice against'cutting the agri-

cultural appropriations.



The budget bureau director was told

that the farm bureau believes that the

reductions ought to be made some-_

where else than in the department of

agriculture. The department has the

enforcement of twenty regulatory

laws, the construction of federal aid

highways, and a relatively small

amount of money is being used for in-

vestigation purposes. It will not be

practicable to reduce appropriations

for regulatory work, therefore it is be-

lieyed that the reductions will come

on scientific work, which will have ser-

ious consequences for agriculture.





 





MANY SIGN LONG-TERM MARKET-

ING CONTRACTS.





 





LREADY thirty-four Michigan 10-



cal potato shipping associations

have secured their minimum quota of

fifty per cent or more of the potato

acreage of the respective communities

signed up on marketing contracts five

years. This means that these cooper-

ative shipping associations will handle

fifty per cent or more of the acreage

in their several communities. The to-

tal number of farmers who have sub-

scribed to the contract plan runs over

four thousand, according to the re-

ports of the Michigan Potato Ex-

change. This provides for nearly 1,800

cars of spuds as compared with the

shipment of 1,099 cars during the sea-

son of 1923-24. Several new local as-

The Great Amerlcan Beverage





How a Good Product Can Be Made and Preserved

B F. W. Fabian,





T this time of the year a great



many farniers 53‘e thinking of



, convertingtheir surplus apples



into a profit by making cider. This is



an exceptionally profitable way, espe



cially if they are near a large city, to

convert apples: into cash at once.‘



It can be truly said that the demand

for cider was never greater. It may

be surprising to some to learn that

older is one of the most popular bev-

erage juices in America today, and is

made and consumedin much larger

quantities than any other of the pop-

ular beverage juices, all of which ar-

gues very well for the energetic farm-

er who is willing to take the time and

labor to convert his surplus apples into

a profit. In many of the large indus-

tries, it is a generally recognized fact



‘that the margin between profit and

loss is in many eases small and repre—

sents the utilization of the waste or



‘ by-products. So it is in the case of

the farmer. The cull and. wind-fall

apples, if properly cared for and con-

verted into cider represent a nice mar-

gin of profit.



The last figures available showed





, that each farm in the United States





produced on the average of about one

hundred gallons of cider. There is





yBacterio/og‘iral





every reason to believe that this aver-

age production has been greatly in-

creased in the past few years.



Now, in order that the production

shall be maintained at this high aver-

age and thereby benefit both producer

and consumer, a few: simple precau-

tions are noted here which, if followed

will enable the farm to produce a bet-

ter grade of cider. This in return will

be reflected in increased sales.



How to Clean the Barrel.



The first precaution to observe in

the production of good cider is a clean

barrel. There are several ways to

clean a barrel, but here are two satis-

factory methods: The first method is

by steaming. Steam is not usually

available on the farm. However, most

of thecider is made at cider mills

where steam is available/but at most

cider mills they are either careless or

too busy to thoroughly clean barrels.

They consider the barrel clean if

steam flows into the barrel one or

two minutes. This is not suflicient.



Here is a. simple and practicable

method of cleaning barrels ready for





Dept. M. A. C.





cider. Rinse the barrel thoroughly to

wash out all'sediment and other ma-

terial present. Then fill the barrel full

of water and put two or three table-

spoons of chloride of lime into the

barrel. Allow to stand for about five

hours, then empty the barrel. Thor—

oughly rinse the barrel so as to free

it of all traces of the chloride of lime.

This is very necessary for if there is

any of the chemical left, it will kill all

subsequent fermentation. This simple

method is very effective in killing all

undesirable organisms in the barrel

and in sweetening the barrel so that

fresh cider coming into it will not be

handicapped by the injurious germs

present in the barrel.

How to Keep it Sweet.



The second precaution in making

good cider is good apples. Choose the

proper variety of apples. Again, gen-

erally speaking, summer and fall ap-

ples are less desirable than winter ap-

ples. Rotten or half rotten apples nev-

er make good cider. They impart to

the liquid a peculiar taste and add

many organisms that later may prove





injurious to desirable fermentation.



If it is desired to keep cider any

period of time in an unfermented con-

dition there are two methods avail-

able. One is to place it in bottles and

pasteurize by heating to 145 degrees

F., and holding thirty minutes. The

other is to add 0.1 per cent of benzo-

ate- of soda. Cider treated by either

method will keep for considerable pe-

riods of time if kept in a. cool place.





To sum up, then, cider is the most

popular beverage in America today.

There is an increasing demand and

hence an increased production. Good

cider is necessary to maintain the de-

mand and production. To produce

good cider, choose the right kind of

barrel and properly clean it by the

use of steam or chloride of lime. Next

choose good apples, preferably winter

apples of proper variety. To keep cid-

er from fermenting pasteurize or add

0.1 per cent benzoate of soda.

Mapping Michigan’s Farm Resources

' In tee Future [2‘5 Illa/y Be Porsz'é/e to Buy Michigan Farms Intelligent/y

By L. A. Chase





MONG the speakers on the pro-

I A gram at the recent Tri-state Con-

gress was Mr. H. J. Andrews, of



the Michigan Department of Conser-



vatiOn, in charge of the land economic

survey of the northern counties of the

state now under way. Mr. Andrews

gives credit to Mr. R. C. Allen, former

state geologist of Michigan, for inaug-

urating the present survey as a means



of stopping the exploitation of the

helpless settler by the land shark. Mr.

Allen proposed such a land survey or

inventory in 1916. After various vicis-

situdes in the legislature and else-

where, ‘the new State Department of

Agriculture laid out a project for such

a survey and inventory in 1921. A co-

operative arrangement was entered

into between the departments of agri-





4 culture and conservation, the Michigan

‘ Agricultural College and the Univer-





sity of Michigan. Several bureaus of

the United States government also co-

operated. The Michigan Academy of

Sciences gave expert assistance.



The first real work under this pro-

ject was started in the summer of

1922. Encouraged by the interest man—

ifested in this work by the special

United States Senate committee on

reforestation which held hearings in

Michigan, the work was again under-

taken in 1923 under the department of

conservation with the United States

Forest Service and the bureau of soils

cooperating.



To date five counties have been sur—





‘ veyed—Charlevoix in 19;22 Ogemaw

{ and Antrlm in 1923; Roscommon and





Alpena in 1924.

Long ago studious farmers learned that the transfo1ming of virgin soil

into profitable farms is accompanied by many uncertain factors. They, there





fore, stand ready to support the state

best fitted, and to the best of its abil-

ity. \Land should not be used for

farming when it is better suited for

timber. In the present survey an in-

ventory is taken of the soils them-

selves and what is growing on them.

The data thus acquired is displayed in

map form with accompanying explana-

tions.



For the preparation of these records

there is a field crew consisting ofeight

or ten mappers of base‘data—cover

In the field lines are run from each

section and quarter point, the survey

being carried forward for a quarter of

a mile on each side of the line. Roads,

streams, buildings, telephone lines,

soil types, forest types, topography,

are noted and recorded. The boundary

of each soil type is carefully mapped

along with other features of the land

surface.

and chemical characteristics. Maps

showing actual farming practice on

each type are made. “Anyone interest-

ed in a piece of undeveloped land,"

says Mr. Andrews, “can then find out

what is happening and has happened '

on similar soil types which are or

have been farmed.” The experiences

of actual farmers on a soil type are

regarded as more valuable than any

theoretical speculation.



Peat and marl beds are located and

sampled. Two men worked on the

water-power survey, which estimates

power available and locates power

sites. Minerals are noted. A record

of land ownership is also prepared. A

history of settlement and colonization

schemes is prepared. Imports and ex-

ports of the region are determined and

population changes are ascertained.

Market conditions are described and

taxation records are secured.



A special force of biologists do fol-

low-up work on fish and game re-

sources 01' the area. Recreational con-

ditions are recorded. The survey only

records facts; it does not make plans

for the future. 7



Mr. Andrews disclosed that several

other states are watching closely the

present Michigan survey, including

Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Texas and

Oregon. Several federal bureaus have

rendered assistance. It is hoped that

the coming legislature will make pro-

vision for the publication of the re-

sults of this survey. The State De-

partment of Agriculture also has con-

ducted a somewhat similar survey or

various land holdings in the state for

the purpose. of land certification. The

two surveys are entirely distinct, how-

ever. The two departments have un-

dertaken not to duplicate each 'other’s

drudgery and small pay. Agriculture

is no vocation for a man with brains,

and so on. But this man found use-

fulness, happiness, fame, in this de-

spised field. I’ll have to admit he did

not find much money in it, but he did

‘better than that. He enriched others,

to the extent of millions and millions

of dollars. Almost every state in the

. He began going to school very late.

I have been told he could not read and

write until sixteen, but of this I am

.not certain. Atnrnjr rate, schooling

‘ was slow and difficult. He had to go

a long 'way, and some subjects were

very hard for him. He worked long

hours to get his lessons in languages,

but in mathematics he was a master.

Part of the time he boarded himself.

The way to a college degree was long

and rough, but he arrived.



He came to the Michigan Agricultur-

al College as plant breeder. Someone

'McCune





of” 1908, our quiet, modest professor

developed the greatest yielding rye

ever grown. Within a few years Mich-

igan alone was planting nearly half a

million acres, while it was grown in

thirty-two other states. I have seen

the statement in print, and have never

heard it disputed, that Professor

Spragg earned more money for the

farmers of Michigan than the State

Agricultural College has cost the tax-

payers since ,it was founded in 1857.

Enriching others, he himself never re-

ceived ‘more than a very modest

salary. ‘ . .



Other varieties also came from his

master hand—Berkley Rock wheat,

Wolverine oats, Worthy oats, Barbless

barley, the Robust bean and Hardigan

alfalfa. None of these were named

after himself. He worked for results,

not for personal gain. He had the

welfare of the farmers and the public

on his heart. He had the disinterested

impersonal attitude of the scientist.

The men‘1n\his department respected

his ability and loved him as a man.

Dean Shaw called him the Burbank of

American agriculture.



He was a strong community man.

He supported everything that was for

the building up of community spirit

When the People’s Church was organ-

ized back in 1910, he was a charter

member, and was the treasurer for

twelve years. If you wanted to rouse

him out of his customary placidity,

you had only to carp at the community

church. He was bringing up his three

boys to love religious things. He show-

ed how possible and natural it is for a.

scientist to believe the Bible, and

practice the Christian religion.



We will continue for a long time to

come to look to the farms to produce

strong men. They are needed. ‘





CANKERS 0N TREES.





 





' SITUATION. which is worthy of



mention is that of the serious

cankerous condition of apple trees

throughout the country. In a large

Baldwin orchard that came under our

observation we kept a census of the

canker situation and found that the

treatment which seemed to be most





helpful in combating the trouble was“





the good cultural methods followed.

In the other sections of the orchard

there was an annual toll of many

limbs and some entire trees from the

cankers. In southern Ohio the same

situation is apparent. Where the

trees are kept well fertilized and in a

good state of vigor the trees seem to

outgrow the trouble to a marked ex-

tent in comparison with the non-fer-

tilized trees. This is a matter that is

worthy the attention of orchardists

over the country for the diseased con-

dition of the trees cannot longer be

ignored.-—-—J. H. Gourlay.

will find Mobiloil “E”'the favorite oil for 0rd

Do you believe in experience ? The Vacuum Oil

Company, which manufactures Mobiloil “E”, has

58 years of it.





Do you believe in specialization? In all those

years this company has specialized only in lubri-r

cation— not in gasoline and lubricants. ‘



Do you believe in scientific practice? The Vac-

gineers has stu ied each new Ford model under all

conceivable conditions of operation. The individual

engineers on this board have automotive experi-

ence which averages 13% years per man.

i With a constantly growing fund of Ford lubri-

cating experience—in all the world’s climates,

over every possible kind of road, and in every type

of service —-Mobiloil “E” has been made even

better as the years have passed by.





This fact is amply borne out by the ever-grOWo

ing number of testimonials which come to us from ,

Ford owners the world over.





There is no substitute for Mobiloil “E” because

there is no substitute for the superior experience

and intensive specialization which have produced it.





That stubborn fact will work to your advanta c

from the moment you begin to use Mobiloil “E ’.

When the dealer sells a quart of Gargoyle Mobiloil for less !

Building up the crop-prOduci-ng, pow»

er of land. permanently cannot. be» done

quickly. It is a slow process at best.

You can if the seasons are favorable.

especially with regard to: moisture» get

good results by, heavy applications. of

commercial fertilizers But to improve

the fertility permanently, you must

. plan to produce heavy sods to. be turn~

ed under and the best you can do, it

'will take several years to get it in

good productive condition. You can

grow leguminous crops like soy-beans,

clover, etc., and plow the whole crop

down and. make a more rapid gain.

This, however, is quite expensi-ve.~You

lose the use of your land entirely and

also your labor, and if you use fertil-

izer_t0~ grow the manure crops, this

adds to the expense. In time you will

get all this back, and more. But it is

quite an investment and a. long=time

one.



.Probably the most practical way is

to grow crops right along, taking a.

longer time, but trying to get some

thing for your labor while doing» the

improvement. It can be: done.



The wheat on this field should have

been heavily fertilized and then the

land seeded to clover this coming

spring. The fertilizer would increase

the yield of Wheat if the season is

favorable, and also. increase the yield

of clover. Cut the clover once only

for hay and turn the sod down. This

improves the land. Now if you will

practice a short rotation you will see

your land improve. If you plant the

field, using fertilizer on corn and

wheat, you will in a few years make

a great gain, and at the same» time get

pay for your labor.

DAIRYING ON THE INCREASE.





 





EPORTS to the department of ag-



riculture indicate that dairy pro-

duction throughout the world is in-

creasing. This is no doubt due to the

general profitableness of dairying as

compared with other lines of farming.

The conclusion is forced upon the ob-

servant dairymen, say the department

specialists, that world production will

continue to increase with more and

more consideration being- shifted to

the demand side of the Question.





We may feel ou1 selves quite advanc-

ed, but records show that early in the





used lantern light to increase egg pro-

duction.





 





Farmers will succeed better when

they reduce the amount of guessing

and increase the use of accurate tests

and data upOn which to base their

practices.





 





Spiritual issues of country life will

be the general theme forconsideration

at the seventh national conference of

the AmeriCan COun-try Life Associa-

tion at Ohio State University, Colum-

bus, November 7— 8.





 





The drainage of low, wet spots on

the farm usually pays in the cost of

labor saved from not being obliged to

work around these spots. Such drains

also turns these unproductive places

into best producing areas of the farm.





 





On Ohio farms, an average of one

chicken per person per month is con-

sumed. There is also 'a. weekly con-

sumption of eight eggs, one-half pound

of cheese, three-fourths pound of but-

ter, a pint of cream, and four quarts

of milk per person.





 





Under the general direction of Coun-

ty Agent .A. B. Love, of Saginaw coun-

ty, a full-fledged dairy-alfalfa campaign

will be put on. Seventy-eight sessions

on as many farms of that county are

planned. The schools will open No-

HE outstanding factor- in the





sion of the Michigan State





' 'Grange, at Petoskey, October 28-31,"

‘ Was the income tax amendment “for





which the Grange has been spensor.



The Grange has ' for years wOrked

for the income tax principle for state

tax purposesand after failing to get

recognition at the state legislature, it

corralled ’more than enough signatures





the November election.





This meeting being held just before

election, the tax question was a prom-

inent. one. A goodly part of Master

A. B. Cook’s address was devoted to

- it, and the first evening session was

given over to a debate between Over-

seer Bramble and Frank M. Sparks, of

,the Grand Rapids Herald. Mr. Bram-

ble defended the amendment While

»Mr. Sparks brought out its weak-

nesses- ‘ ,



’ Mr. Sparks is favorable to the in-

come tax principle, but not to the pres—

ent method of endeavoring to make it

a law. Mr. Bramble, Mr. ‘Cook and

other grangers voiced the thought that

even .if the amendment was defeated,

there would be no let-up in the efforts

of the Grange in behalf of the income

tax principle. '



In her address, Wednesday after-

noon, Mrs. Dora Sitockman, State Lec-

turer, accused big business of endeav—

oring to keep up the industrial advan-

tage of the markets and to depress

agriculture. The Winslow. bill which

sought to place the markets depart—

ment under the department of com-

merce was a subtle effort along this

line.





The big farm organizations have

federated, she said, into the American

Council of Agriculture to overcome in-

dustryfs efforts, and “to seek perma-

nent economic equality for agriculture

with industry and labor.”





The principal speaker in the state

Iecturer’s program was Dr. Kenyon L.

Butterfield, president] of the Michigan

Agricultural College. He sprung a sur~

prise by advocating a change in the

name. of the college, because it was no

longer an agricultural college devoted

solely to agriculture. Twenty-five

years ago two-thirds of the students

took agricultural courses, but now

only about one-fourth of them are.

While his interests and inclinations

Were agricultural he did not believe

that the present name of the college

correctly designatedits activities. He

suggested the name Michigan State

College. Even if this change would be





college would continue to do' major

work in agriculture.





Dr. Butterfield said that Michigan

was a leader in extension work for

that work originated here in 1861

when the legislature passed a law per-

mitting the college to give lectures to

farmers. The movement spread all

over the country, first through the

farmer's institutes and then through

county agents. He believed, though,

that the states which were discarding

the old-fashioned institutes were mak-

ing a mistake. This statement brought

great applause and Dr. Butterfleld in-

dicated that farmers’ institutes might

again be reinstated in Michigan to

work in cooperation with the county

agents.



Dr. Butterfield said he fully realized

the need of an economic study of the

farmer’s problems. He believed that

the great economic agricultural prob-

lems could in time be worked out by

community effort and more eflicient

production. He paid tribute to the

Grange, for he said that he got his

greatest life’s inspiration when he ed-

ited the Grange paper twenty—five

years ago.

of' the Michigan State Federation of

Labor, urged a political alliance be-

eggs higher than the average for last

year.



Mr. Eckard’s pen of Leghorns took

first place, with a total of 2,622, or an

average for the ten hens of 262.2 eggs.

Mr. Heasley’s Leghorns took second'

place with 2,350 eggs, and Mr. Eek-

ard’s second pen came third with 2,336

Island Reds belonging to the Milan

Hatchery took the leading place with

a production of 2,142 eggs. Next came

the Reds belonging to Leo O. Dunning,

with 1,979 eggs; then the Anconas be

longing to C. M. Beckwith, with 1,931

and renamed it “The Michigan Farm-





er,” in 1867.





In 1873 a fire swept away all the

stock, machinery and buildings, but

publication was delayed only three

, weeks in spite of the fact that the pub-

lishers lost every dollar by the fire.

Mrs. Johnston carriedbn the paper

after her husband’s death in 1880.

Some time after that the Lawrence

family bought the paper and assumed

control: Readers are familiar with the

fact that Senator Capper bought con

trol of theMichigan Farmer a year or

two ago, but he wisely kept the same

editorial staff and made no changes in

policy or make-up,



It does beat all how some stories

are told in many communities as hav-

ing occurred there. I have heard this

story in four states and it is always





the same. It is almost a classic in

pioneer history, especially here in

Michigan.





“A pioneer young couple decided to

visit a neighbor for the evening. They





knew the way well. It got very dark

while they were on their way. Com-

ing to a high rail fence, the husband

got over first. The wife handed the

baby to him and then got over. When

they arrived at the neighbors they dis—





Lighting pine torches they returned to

the fence and there saw the tracks of

an enormous bear. When the woman

supposed she was handing the baby to

her husband she was really reaching

over the fence to place her baby into

the outstretched arms of the upstand-

ing bear.”



Another story concerns grave rob-

bers. In the days of the “underground

railway,” darkeys became numerous in

free communities. One night a pair

of darkeys decided to rob a new grave,

sell the coffin back to the dealer and

the body to a medical school. They

dug up the corpse and placed it in a

sack, then went for their horse and

wagon. While they were gone some

wags who had watched them took out

the corpse and placed one of their

number in the sack. It was a dark,

cold night. When the two darkeys

came to the outskirts of the towu and

near the lights of a saloon one remark-

ed that he would stbp for a. drink. The

other remarked that he, too, would

like,a drink. Then the corpse raised

up behind them and said he, too, would

take a drink. The darkeys are run-

ning yet, according to the story. These

are familiar pioneer stories. Want

' HE success of a large motor



I company is built upon its man-

facture of an article that people

:want and are able to pay for. A big





:zplckle concern is a going concern be-

"cause its “57‘ varieties" are. what the





speople want in the pickle and catsup

line. So the distributor finds it wlth

iapples. His. trade calls for Jonathans,

.Sples, Greenings and a few others.





v‘Retai'lers know them and demand





:them. It is the distributor’s job to

supply them. Consequently he is will-

;ing to pay more for carloads of these

.or- other standard varieties than for





, mixtures of the miscellaneous, l‘lttle





know-n sorts, no matter how excellent

they may be. It requires, no special

effort to sell them for the demand for

them already exists. Something else

is regarded as—aud must be’ sold as—

a substitute, and people in general pre-

fer the real thing to a substitute.





The grower who loads a car consist-

ing of half or tw0<thirds of one or two





'standard kinds and the remaindef‘of





a dozen inferior sorts may think he

is “putting one over” on the dealer

who may buy the car in order to get

the standard varieties, but that grower

is only “kidding himself along.” He

pays by taking a lower figure for the

standard variety than otherwise he

would probably receive. Fortunately,

the situation that has just been de-

scribed may be expected gradually to

improve through the influence of the

State Horticultural Society and other

agencies in recommending only from

a. standardized list of varieties. How-

ever, it is often difficult to convince

producers that the.trade is more will-

ing to buy freely of, and pay liberally

for, the things the trade wants than

for what the grower may choose to

grow. It is well to remember that it

‘is the eye that buys the fruit, the

mouth only chews and swallows; and

in the last analysis it is the eye of

the consumer that finally passes judg—

ment.





Parenthetically it may be remarked

at this point that it is the retailer and

distributor, not the consumer, who

turns “thumbs up” or “thumbs down"

for different varieties. The average

consumer today does not discriminate

between different apple varieties and

probably never will. When the house-

wife goes to the grocery store or fruit

stand to buy oranges, she does not

ask for Valencias or Parson Browns

or Ikedas, she asks for oranges; when

she buys figs she does not ask for

White Adriatics or San Pedros or 03.1-

imyrnas, she asks for figs; and when

she buys bananas she does not ask for

Martiniques ordamaicas, she simply

calls for bananas. The housewife or

hotel steward or cafe chef, when want-

ing to buy apples, goes to the grocery

store or picks up the telephone in the

same frame of mind. These ultimate

consumers wouldn’t any more know

whether “Jonathan” means a variety

of apple or a. kind of cough syrup than

the apple producer’s wife would know

whether Deglet Noor is a variety of

date or a. new pattern of Persian rug.





Perhaps this situation is regrettable,

but ‘it exists. All these consumers

know is that they want apples, good

apples; and they leave it to the retail-

er to make the selection. This the

retailer well knows and he known also

that, unless he supplies good apples,

his trouble has just begun. It' is be-

cause he knows Jonathans, Spies,

Greenings and a. few others, to be

good apples that he demands them of





 





the-wholesaler. He shfes at the Calf

vert, the Fallawater, the Mannfhee

cause he‘does not know them, because

he does not, know how repeat orders

will come in when once he tries them

out on his customers. Furthermore,

the retailer knows that the trade in

general wants' apples of the higher

grades.



One chain store official in Detroit—

a. chain store that. operates about 500

retail groceries in that territory—-

says: “This city is what you would

call a Red Apple Market. We find the

Jonathans are the best seller.

fancy apples are the best sellers re-

gardless, of price.” In this connection,

the grow-er can well afford to take to

heart a lesson that any/experienced

retailer has long since learned. It

pays to protect, the consumer, to sell

him only good goods, standard varie-

ties. You can often slip him a. Substi-

tute and pride yourself on having

made a good sale, but it isn’t a, policy

that brings in repeat orders and builds

up the business. Michigan apple grow-

ers have a. long way to go in this gen-

eral direction.





 





PLOW UNDER CHERRY LEAVES.





 





FALLEN leaves in the cherry 0r-

- chard are the chief sources of in-

fection of the destructive leaf spot

which defoliates so many trees in New

York cherry orchards in the early

summer. These leaves should be re-

moved by plowing them under, either

in the fall or early spring, before the

disease organism can be transmitted

to the new leaves, it is said.



Removing the chief source of infec-

tion by plowing under the leaves is

the first step in the successful control

of the disease. Plans should be made

however, for following this up with a.

lime-sulphur spray to be applied just

as the petals fall- in the spring, and

again about two weeks later. A third

application is sometimes made to good

advantage shortly after the fruit is

harvested. ,



If the leaves dropped from the trees

early in the summer this past season,

proper measures should be taken to

combat the disease next year, as re-

peated shedding of the leaves season

after season greatly weakens the trees

and will eventually kill them. Sweet

and sour cherries are equally suscep-

tible to the disease, but care must be

exercised in spraying sweet cherries

as they are subject to burning with

lime—sulphur. A mixture containing

one gallon of lime—sulphur to forty

gallons of water will give best results

with sour cherries, while for sweet

cherries the proportion should be one

gallon of lime-sulphur to fifty gallons

of water.





Western Michigan fruit and vegeta-

ble growers are planning to sell their

product direct to consumer in Chicago.

The plan is to ship the fruit and veg-

etables to the Municipal Pier, which

has a large consumers’ market. Ship-

ping arrangements can be made 'So

that the consumer could get the pro-

duce twenty-four hours after it leaves

the fields and orchards.





 





Prof. L. R. Taft says thatMichigan

berry plants are the cleanest grown in

the country. Strict inspection and

grower cooperation has made this so.

Leaf curl, mosaic, crown gall and blue

stem are the lowest in years. Now





other states are buying here. because"

bull at the head of'the

herd influences production to a

marked "degree with decided advan-

tages following the use of purebred

over grade or “scrub” animals, is now

recognized by all dairymen. Many

feel, hoWever, that the cost of a' pure-

bred sire is prohibitive and are reluc-

tant to make a change; The experi-

ence of the New Your State Agricul-

tural Experiment Station at Geneva in

building up a pure-bred Jersey herd at

low cost is of interest in this con-

nection. ' -

‘ Beginning with two pure-bred Jersey

cows as foundation stock, bull calves

were purchased from pure-bred herds

and, upon reaching maturity, were

placed at the head of the herd. Seven

bulls have been purchased in this way

sinCe 1900, and the station herd of

pure-breds now numbers twenty-six.

All of these bulls have been purchased

at an average price of $166.66, or a

yearly cost of only $31.82, and have

produced daughters that have given

a'n'average of 350 pounds of butter—fat

per year as mature cows.



“The bulls were all of good breed-

ing, but did not represent the best that

money could buy," says the station

dairyman. “Bulls of similar breeding

can be purchased today at a price

within the reach of nearly all dairy-

men, so that from a cost basis there

is little excuse for the existence of the

scrub bull.”





 





STUDIES USE OF DAIRY PROD-

UCTS IN PHILADELPHIA.





HE average consumption of milk



in Philadelphia is 2.96 pints per

family per day, according to a consum-

ers’ survey of representative families

just completed by the Federal Depart-

ment of Agriculture in cooperation

with the Pennsylvania State Depart-





ment‘ of Agriculture. The 400 families





surveyed were divided into eight

groups of fifty each, according to in-

come, race and nationality.





The Jewish group showed the high—

est consumption of milk. The Italians

and colored groups use the smallest

amount. About half of the Jewish peo-

ple interviewed said milk was first in

importance as food in their household.





Prices were no consideration to seven-‘





ty—seven per cent of those surveyed;

they said that a fluctuation of a cent

or two either way would not change

the quantity consumed.



Fifty-four per cent of the children

are drinking milk in school. Their

mothers say that this is causing the





children to drink more milk at home. -





The significant point about this is that

by supplying all the school children

drinks of pure fresh milk this country

may become a natiOn of milk drinkers.





FOREIGNERS USE AMERICAN

BUTTER.





HE influence of foreign butter mar-



,kets in strengthening the markets

in this country is_being strikingly dem-

onstrated just now. At a time when

foreign production is unusually heavy,

the recent renewal of purchases in

Germany of large quantities of foreign

butter, together with a scarcity of im-

ported supplies in Great Britain have

tended to prevent a decline in price of

butter, which would have been disas-

trous not only to foreign dairymen but

to our American dairy interests.





By discarding an old cream separ-

ator and securing a new one, A. J.

Cramer made a saving of ninety-two

cents per day, or $276 per year, in the

additional ainount of cream saved

from the milk.





Soft corn can be used for seed pur-

poses if properly stored and dried.

V “I can’t figure out why it was so

important, my seeing inside, the wal-

up on the lounge.



A Crain smiled a little. “Perhaps it

doesn’t matter so much. You saw that

' “Yes, but I didn’t bother to read it,”

Morton answered.



“I was afraid. you’d copied it on? for



Bub Gudridge—that’s the fellow who

him out with the revolver. Gudridge,

you see, has the other half: of the

sheet; he’s been moving heaven and

earth, almost to get this half, one be-

ing worthless without the other. He’s

even employed so—called detectives to

help him. I feared you were one of

them, Morton.”

‘ For his own satisfaction, he took the

ragged— —edged bit of paper from. the

locket, and straightened it out for a

hasty examination of it.

“I think he must be trustworthy,

them now.”



‘ Grain sat down on the lounge beside





Morton. He held the half sheet before





Morton’s gaze and spelled through it

with him. It ran like this:

an outlaw, one of the romantic type,

among them. They were originally

mountainfolk. Angie’s father, Jim

Mayland ,was a lumberman. His wife,

my sister, died when. Angie was seven,

and she came to us to live, Jim went

to pieces after his wife’s passing, and

soon had, lost about everything of val-

ue he possessed. Then he fell in with

Bub G‘ud‘rid‘ge and Dave Bright, the

former a. hillman and: the latter a city

man who was in the mountains for his

health, and the three of them became

followers of logging outfitsmfor the

sheer fun of fighting, I- understand.

They were, I’m told, inseparable. Jim

gave Gudriadge a start in the timber-

lands, and he’s now worth consider

able money:



“As for the \paper,” Crain went on,

“Dave Bright wrote it. He’d been mys-





teriously absent for four days, and





they found him lying almost dead,

with the sheet clutched in his hand,

babbling of a, hundred thousand} dol-

lars; he'd fallen over a cliff, presum-

ably. The writing on the sheet is evi-

dently instructions for finding some-

thing of great value—not gold, how—

ever, I guess, for little gold is found

in the Smokies. Angie’s father is dead,

too. He lost his life in a logging—rail-

road wreck. Sewed inside his coat we

found his half of the sheet of instruc-

tions that Bright left. As. for how he

came to have one-half of the sheet and

Gudridge.



“' ‘There,’ he. said, ‘you grave-robber

———there’ s your part of it. Now shut

your mouth’



“Their ill feeling grew more and

more bitter, up to the very day of

Jim’s accident. Gudridge has tor-

mented us ever sincefor Jim’s half

of the instructions; he’s tried to buy

it, beg it, and steal. it. I suggested

that we go together, with disinterest-

ed parties, make the find, sell it, and

divide the proceeds equally between

him and Angelina; but he wouldn’t

hear to. that—he wants it all! Then I

tried to. buy Gudridge’s interest, and

he refused flatly to. sell. He learned

in some cunning way that Angie car-

Crain shrugged heavily, and fell

silent. After a moment, he went- on.

The next evening fell clear and cool.

Morton went early to. 3091 Tunnel Hill

The fifteenth of December came

with snow on ground and roof, hang—

Finley Morton was making his elev-

enth visit at 300-1 Tunnel Hill Road,

and he had arrived with nightfall. He

was. now a most welcomevisitor- in the

home; As usual, the three of them eat

before a log fire in the living-room.

Cram, in his armchair. was smoking

his. pipe- comfortably. Angelina was

roasting chestnuts in the ashes. Mor-

ton was telling, with boyish enthusi-





asm, of how he hoped to land for him--





self the place of chief engineer at the

power plant.





“it’s fine to see a man like his

work; he’s sure to make a. success of

it.” observed, Grain. “I knew a man

once—3’ '



The front door’s old brass knocker

Angelina rose, and so did Cram.

He left the room. Morton heard the

Gudridge drawled. "I've cut out the

city bakery filled

with fat cakes of delicious bread.

And thereby hangs a moral. What

‘we cannot do, God can do, through us.

A very tiny bit of capital will accom-

plish huge results, if it is multiplied

and swelled .by the blessing of God.

Once a little girl came to Sunday

School in Philadelphia It was so

crowded she could not get in. Shortly

after she was taken sick and died. On

her death bed she said she was leaving

some money to build a new Sunday

School building with, and on opening

the little red purse they found thirty-

eight cents. This thirty-eight cents

did the business. It built the church.

The tiny pocket book was exhibited as

the dying legacy 0f181 child who had

not been able to get in, and with that

as a beginning the money rolled in.

The church was built. If you want the

story of this, read the life of Russell

H. Conwell, the man who has been de-

livering \his lecture, “Acres of Dia-

monds,” for the past fifty years.





AKE another case. A meeting





was once held in Fanuil Hall, Bos-

ton, in the interests of slavery. A

young man, Wendell Phillips, heard

the speeches, and arose and answered

them. It was a ticklish thing to do,

for it meant that he, a son of wealth

and social station, cut himself off from

the circle of people among whom he

had been brought up. He did not stop

for that. The anti-slavery cause won.



Here is another. A young man once

went as a missionary to India. He

went alone, for everybody else thought

it was a wild adventure, and no one

cared to share it with him. That was

William Carey and that was the be-

ginning of the missionary ‘movement

in India, which has of late years been

sweeping into the Christian religion

thousands of persons. A small contri-

bution. blest by God.



This week the bronze equestrian

staue of Francis Asbury‘ has been un-

veiled in Washington, by the President

of the United States. And who was

Francis Asbury? 1A Methodist preach-

er who came over from England just

a feW years before the American Rev-

olution. and gave his life to preaching

to the scattered settlements up and

'down the Atlantic coast. For forty-‘

five years he rode on horseback an

average of six thousand miles a year,

up and down. up and down, back and

forth. from Massachusetts to South

Carolina and Georgia, preaChing on an

average more than once a day. When

weak and hardly able to keep the sad—





 





eager. At any

rate, it was won-'

derful what Christ

did with that

lunch. The two

dried fish became

a refrigerator car

of meat, the five

barley cakes a





quarrels and line-fence wranglings, for

a. spirit of cooperation, and altruism.

If a boy’s lunch would fill up fifteen

thousand, people, a devoted man or

two in a community ought to do some-

thing. And he will have the time of

his life doing it.

one man and his life, blest by the

eternal God. There is nothing to beat

that. '





OTE another thing. This is called

the miracle of feeding the five





thousand. It was a miracle, of course.

We do not understand how it was

done. never will, probably. But to the

_man who has eyes to see, 'was it, any

more of a miracle than that which

happens every year? Not long ago

the drills were clicking across the

fields. Then a green carpet appeared,

and then the gold of ripe grain. Self—

binders were gotten out, overhauled,

oiled up, and gathered in' these fields

of gold. Then came the threshers and

small boys trudging along behind, and

——the world was fed once more. How

did it happen? Sunlight and rain, dew

and heat and soil, but these are forces

which we use, but cannot explain. The

mystery remains. Remove one mys-

tery and you‘ only move one notch

back and you are up against another

mystery. The day of explaining every-

thing has not come yet, and won’t, not

in your day, nor mine. 'It is a miracle.

We do not call it that because it is so

common. But it is none the less mars

veloua Supmse the sun rose and set

but once in a hundred years. You

heard your great grandfather tell

about it. when he was very old and

blind. He had seen it, as a boy. ' He

said people stayed up all night, to get

the first glimpse of the red of the early

morning. Learned men gave lectures.

People with high hills on their farms

charged so much a head, for a fine

view of the rising sun. But no, it hap-

pens every day, and we don’t get up to

see it.





EVER was there more need of



this giving one’s power to be used

of GM. now and then. A man’s life

counts big, today, if he places it in the

hands of God, to be used of Him. In

the rural sections, this, is true. Some

young man with a knack of getting

along with boys can do more than a

team of professional evangelists, in

many communities. The evangelists

come and go, but the young man and

the boys stay. I know a woman who

has done much with high school girls

the past five or ten years. When it- is

all over, and each girl graduates, get

her off in a quiet corner and ask her

who has been a. big influence in her





'life. She will usually tell you, it was





this woman.





Take the matter of dealing with

men. ‘ Men are a hard lot for the most

part, and yield, like quack grass-and

Canada thistles, only slowly to relig-

ious work. But there are many com-

munities where the men would do

big things if some man would put the

necessary time and devotion into

teaching a men’s class, and meeting

with’it once a month or so, in be-

tween Sundays. I have known, and

probably you have, such classes or

clubs, revolutionizing life in a. neigh-

borhood. It is a. fine stroke of busi-

ness to trade off ill will, neighborhood

LOOK TO THE LUNCHES.





 





HE old say, “Variety is the spice

.— of life,” never was more true than

when it pertains to the school lunch

pail. The growing child requires ap-

petizing, nourishing food and when it

is necessary for him to eat a cold

noon-day lunch, mother needs to make

every effort to make that lunch appeal

to the carrier.

' Monotony in sandwiches, the stand-

by of every lunch, can be avoided by

occasionally cutting the bread in a

this need. So it is that Novem-

parents, for children. should not be

permitted to choose their own reading.



There are few things that are more

right'than a child’s mind, and if, as it-

grows up, We can continue to fill it

with right things—truth, beauty and

wisdom—the opposites will not blos-

som forth. ,



Often children are starving for the

want of books, and yet do not do what

will satisfy that desire. Give a child

a book of interesting themes for a

child's mind and you have planted the

nucleus of a good habit. But it is es-

sential that we choose these books

wisely. If the first ones are of the

best, the later books will be no prob-

lem.



Here is a list of books that children

will love to read. If you cannot obtain

them at your book store, write to this

department and the information will

be gladly sent to you.

hem, that is, I turn the width of them.

then turn over again the same width,

leaving one width of hem turned un-

still have a hem of the original width.

T was a long time before the little

heard that strange noise. ~He had

felt very sure it was a bogey man‘ of

the Big Woods, trying to get into

Rolly Rabbit’s house, but had learned

it was only the big bear, Bruin, snor-

ing.



But when the little boy did go to

sleep, he had a dream. It was a dream

about ' his mother. So many times

since the little boy had become lost in

the woods when he was playing In-

dian, he had thought of his mother. In

this dream she was making sugar

cookies.

There was a surprise for'him, too.

Mother had baked him a cookie man

with two black bugs for eyes and some

for buttons on his coat, a cinnamon

nose and a. sweet cherry mouth. And

there was something different about.

this cookie man than any others she

had ever baked for him. This cookie

man had a hat. The little boy was

very pleased and thanked his mother.

He examined the cookie man carefully

and looked at him a long time. But

at last the cookie man was too tempt-

ing. First one foot was gone and then

the other and soon the cookie man

was no more. He had been eaten.





Next the little boy dreamed his

mother was standing beside him. Yes,

right there beside his little log bed,

and in her hand was a big sugar cook-

ie. But as he reached for it she'was

gone.





The little boy was awake now, and

a big chokey lump came‘ in his throat

as he remembered where he was and

that it had all been a dream. How

his stomach tickled for that sugar

cookie!





“I want my mother,” he said to him-

self as he sat up in bed.

Rolly Rabbit and Bruin. To see them

‘ Value of School V





 





 





 





By Contest W Inner:





By Laura Bowers, Edwardsburg, Mich.

To. some “schoo ” is a word, or real-





: ly a thought which brings forth a sigh.





Still others are very anxious to go to

school but have to work hard to “make

their grades.”



Making yourgrades applies chiefly

to high school, as in grammar school





you merely say you did not pass, and .





have to take the year over again, and





‘ don’t work so hard: But in high school





you seem to think you have to get





 





Edwin Yeider and His Pet Cow.





through in four years. Then you have

to have a certain average to make the

basket ball team, which most everyone

at least tries for. J



Basket ball not only serves as a

recreation, but also keeps your body

in a strong, healthy condition. It is a.

good exercise to develop the muscles.



I have always wanted to go to

school, althoughAI have to work hard

to at least get good enough marks to

keep me up with my class. My marks

are never very high, but then, marks

aren’t everything, although I think if

you are really learning something

your marks will show it





My daily studying teaches me when

to use “learn” and “teach,” that we

get our religion from the Hebrews,

and the Jews were the chosen people.

That a word in Latin has more than

one meaning in English, and that in

algebra I can’subtract a large number

from a smaller'one, but in geometry

some things are taken to be true while

others have to be proven. I also learn

through domestic science how to sew

more easily and accurately, how to

cook food to make it appetizing, how

to plan a meal, and also learn many

table manners never practiced before.

The Glee Club of about thirty girls is

another benefit. We not only learn

how to become better singers, but

learn many new songs.



One great thing we learn is to be

good mixers. By this I mean, learn

how to get along with people and be

pleasing to everybody. “Love thy

neighbor as thyself.” Sometimes this

is a. hard thing to do, but it is really

an art to be able to do this.-



Of course, everything isn’t study.

There is a great amount of amuse-

ment. There is base ball, basket ball,

plays, lectures and all kinds of enter-

tainment.



Of course, I have based my discus-

sion on high school as I am a soph—

omore and I think when you enter





. high school you begin to think more





about your future.



I have been working up to be a

teacher of about the first, second or

third grade, but now I have changed





‘my mind and want to take a. business.

equrse and be a stenographer.





There are so many people in this





C ‘world who have a fine chance to get a





/ G





 





 





good education, but who turn down

the’chance. Some day they will wish

for that education.



Again, some parents think it is a

great expense to send a boy or girl

through high school. Indeed it is,

but, you can never lose what you‘ve

got in your head, and a good educa-

tion will bring in dollars by and by.





 





By Evelyn Hanson, M. 6., Hermann-



villc, Michigan.



The reason why I go to school is

not only to learn how to read and

write, but to receive as high an educa-

tion as I can so that I can go out into

the world and make use of what I

have learned.





During the middle ages, the church‘





was the seat of all learning. The

clergy and monks were the teachers

and taught only the aristocrats, the

wealthy, and the religious leaders.

The masses, a large proportion of

whom were slaves in ancient times

and downtrodden serfs in the medieval

period, were kept in ignorance. Now

we maintain that education must be

afforded to all children, poor and rich.



GraduatiOn from the grade school

was once considered a grand finishing

point, but now it is only considered an





' entrance to the fleecpn‘dary” 'hduoation;

or toi'institutionsgoi‘ihlgher learning; . »





One who gets 9; good education has

always a better opportunity of. getting

a good, steady" position and has easier

work than one who has not much of

an education and

commOn labor, whic is very hard.

Another advantage of an education

is in voting. One who. has a fair.odu-

cation ‘ can vote the. right way, while





one who has not an educati'oti cannot





vote right and many of the, ballots are

thrown away only through ignorance.

Dear Uncle Frank:



Mary Ethel Connor says she worked

half a day in a hay field. Well, this

summer I raked nearly all the hay,

and when my father hauled it in I

drove the team. More than a week,





all together, I worked in a hay field,,





and l’m not tired of it yet.



I agree with Mary Ethel on the

rouge and powder. I wore knickers

around home most of the time this

summer, and I can’t see anything

wrong with it.

place—From another want-to-be niece,

You certainly put in a good full hay.





time. Somehow, working in the hay

has its pleasures as well as its work.





 





Dear Uncle Frank and Cousins:



I have five sisters, they all have

their hair bobbed and cut with bangs.

Can anyone beat that? I also have

one brother. I think bobbed hair and

knickers are all right. but let’s change

the subject.



I think Harold Coles likes bobbed

hair and knickers, but he doesn’t want

to say so. My, but I think that picture

was very cute of Harold, for I have

saved it to look at when I feel blue.



.I know that Uncle Frank is going to

give thls to W. B.——~Your niece, Evelyn

Thompson, Minden City, Mich.



You certainly ought to be in favor

of bobbed hair, with six bobbed haired

girls and one bobbed haired brother in

the family. Harold’s picture is really

worth while if it will keep you from





getting the “blues.” ,





 





Dear Uncle Frank:

We just got 'our Michigan Farmer,





and I enjoyed reading our page very .





much. I am not home now, because

my small sister has scarlet fever,'or

I would enter your photo contest. I

have a picture at home of a little fawn

Which my father took while we were

on a trip this summer. » I would like.

to send it in, but my wishes are im-

possible this time.



I read a letter sent in by a girl who

can’t find a reference in the Bible

about long hair. I’ll try and help her

out.’ Read” First Corinthians. verses

14 and 15. It reads: “Doth not even

nature itself teach you that if .a.man

have long hair it is a . shame. to him?

But if a woman have long hair it is a

Can you find a better argument? If

so, let’s have it.

ket, but (please) not my letter.——Your

Dear Uncle Frank: ~



I liked your suggestion of a discus-

sion of ancient dress on customs, as

I h-ave read and heard so much of King

Tut and haVe seen so many freaky

styles said to be a duplicate of Egyp-

tian fashions. It only needed a little

jog to have me get out the Bible his-

tory and study. I find that the Women

of China always have worn the divided

skirt and our returned missionary

tells us that although a goodly number

have adopted the western garb, it IS

very rare that one encounters a Chi-

nese woman wearing a skirt, and most

of the men cling to the old skirted cos-





tume. How is that for turning things

around?

By the way, the picture of the





Sphinx looks as if it has bobbed hair.

Dear Uncle Franks ‘



I imagine you aregetting quite tired

of the bobbed hair discussion, and I

believe these young folks will change

their discussiOn to something else as

soon as they are given the references

in the Bible which they have asked

for, so I am' giving them two refer-

ences which I found.



One referring to the dress is found



in Deuteronomy 22:5. The one refer-

ring to the hair is in I Cor. 11:14-15. ,

_ ,Let us hear from all of you as to

what vocation you are preparing your-

self for. I would like to know what

life work you are each planning for.

I hope it, is something very useful.——«

Myrtle Gessler, Hastings, Mich.'



Here is another bobbed hair refer-

ence that is ,_ hard to eliminate. But

why didn't you quote your references?

The other subjects you‘ mention are





good.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:





I enjoy reading the M. 0. letters im-

mensely, and I do like the contests. I

don’t approve of the ofllcer plan, but

like the Merry Circle best just as it

is. And, oh, yes! I think the knicker

and bobbed hair discussion very amus-

ing and interesting. I just love an

argument when I'm not in it.



I’m reading for the fourth time,

“Huckleberry Finn,” for want 0f some-

thing better to read. I’ve read every

book we have, over and over, and we

have a pretty large stock of, books. I

have read all the interesting-looking

books in the library of our neighbor-

hood, and I'll soon have to resort to

the uninteresting ones! But, then, I

like to read any book. I like Dickens'

books very much, and I think Mark

Twain’s and Booth Tarkington’s works

very humorous. I especially found

“Penrod and Sam Williams” very

amusing.





Well, I hope to see this in print— .





perhaps—Yours truly, Addie Brad-

shaw, Boyne Falls, Mich._





I am glad to hear that you like the

Circle as it is. And it is fine that you





are a reader of good books, for read3





ing such books is a profitable. pleas-

ure.

BUYlN’G S'PECTACLES BY MAIL.





 





$3.98 for a good pair of spectacles?

Is it cheap? ' , .



Several subscribers have asked ad-

vice about buying spectacles by mail.

Circulars have been broadcasted

throughout the country oflering spec-

tacles that really are wonderful, ac-

cording to the description, and all for

$3.98. It is guaranteed by the makers

that the glasses will be a perfect fit,

will protect the eyes, preventing eye

strain and headache, will enable you

to read the smallest print, thread the

finest needles, and see far or near. On

top of these splendid promises is the

beneficent proposition _that you keep

the spectacles ten days, and only pay

for them it entirely satisfied.



One might-wonder what magic these

spectacle 'makers use in preparing

glasseslthat will fit any person, any

place, any timer'l‘hey use none. There

is no magic about it. Their spectacles

are just the same for one person as

another; The‘pair sent to you prob-





ertsv'm‘e These” shrewd sell-





i'tor' ;

ties, when a natural change takes





place in the average eye. The “ac-

commodation" is not good. The range

of focus is lessened. You cansee just

.as well as ever, perhaps, but your arms

need lengthening so that the letter er

paper may be held farther away. It

is at this period of life that the aver-

age man and woman first takes to

glasses. Only the simplest kind of

glasses are needed—those that correct

“farsightedness.” You can go to the

ten cent store and sort the spectacles

over until you find something that

“seems to suit,” if you are that kind of

an economist. The same principle ap-





plies to sending $3.98 to the mail order





house.



But if you really value your eyes

HOW TO" START

HENS LAYING





Here’s a New Way to Get Eggs in Winter.

Coats Nothing to Try.





A letter from Miss Dama Wright,



Veronica, Ore. ,has a real idea for chick-

‘ en raisers who are not getting plenty

I of eggs. She says:

’ ‘ "Late in October, our fifteen hensD were not

‘ laying at all. I started giving them Don Sung

‘ and for ten days they still didn’t lay. But on

I the eleventh day, they laid thirteen eggs, and

it is wonderful what Don Sung has done for our

egg basket."



Don Sung, the Chinese egg laying tablets



which Miss Wright used, are opening the eyes

of chicken raisers all over America. The tablets

. can be obtained from the Burrell-Dugger Co.,

E ': 844 Allen Street, Indianapolis, Ind. Poultry rais-



' 1 ers whose hens are not laying well, should send

50 cents for a trial package (or $1 for the extra

large size, holding three times as much). Don

. Sung is positively guaranteed to do the work or

I money promptly refunded, so it costs nothing to

try. Right now is the time to start giving Don

Sung to your hens, so you will have a good sup-

ply oi fresh eggs all winter.

GOOD grain ration for pullets

can be made of 200 pounds of

cracked com, 100 pounds of oats

Some poul:

tryinen leave oats out of the scratch

grain ration but soak cats in galvan-

ized pails and place them in the

houses after they have swelled up al-

most like plump kernels of wheat. I

find pullets like these soaked oats and

they do not seem to cause any diges-

tive troubles.

- Preventing Pullet Losses.



Inversion of the oviduct sometimes

occurs among pullets due to the strain





moved from the flock, or cannibalism

may result when other members of the

flock note the inflamed parts. This

trouble can usually be prevented if





"the pullets have had free range and





very little forcing for egg production.

Then they have a. chance to develop





tion starts and‘there is less danger of

oviduct troubles.





and break up any groups of pullets

which huddle in the corners of the

houses or in the nests. Teach them

to use the roosts and you reduce the

dangers of colds and roup. One good

method is to be on hand at roosting

time and break up the groups so they

will learn to jump on the roosts for

themselves. The spot they select for

themselves is the place they will re-

turn to without help.



If some of the early hatched pullets

go into a. moult and stop production,

it is not a dead 1055. Such birds have

been found to be good breeders during

the following spring. The rest seems

to increase their vigor and the chicks

hatched from their eggs seem to be

very near in size and quality to the

stock produced from hen’s eggs.



In some sections poultry thieves

have been unusually active and it is

a severe financial loss to have them

market your laying pullets for‘meat.





each night and have the windows cov-

ered with quarter—inch mesh hardware

cloth. This increases the time requir-

ed for the thief to enter the house.

Then have at least one good watch

dog kenneled where he can get busy

around the hen house if necessary.

Additional protection is gained by

keeping a box of shotgun shells handy

and the ’phone number of the nearest

deputy sheriff, on the outside of the

’phone book. There are other handy

devices which can be arranged to give

alarm, when marauders visit the hen

roosts. The poultry business is not

sufficiently profitable to stand a yearly

tax from thieves and live. It is quite

necessary to do our best to protect

the stock. ‘

Feeding the Pullets. .



The old standard mash of equal

parts of bran, middlings, ground corn,

ground oats and beef scrap seems to

be slightly improved by using thirty

per cent corn meal, twenty per cent

middlings, twenty per cent bran, twen-

ty per cent ground oats and ten per

cent beef scrap. To each hundred

pounds of the mixture can be added

two pounds of ground limestone and a.

pound of salt.



In addition the pullets can receive

sour milk or

without being too heavily forced, as

there is only ten per cent meat serap

in the mash. The use of the limestone

is probably beneficial, even when the

pullets have plenty of oyster shells. I

VETERANS ENGAGE IN POULTRY

BUSINESS.





 





IFTEEN former service men are



engaged in poultry raising in the

Upper Peninsula, according to the

chief of rehabilitation located at Mar-

quette. The veterans’ flocks were re-

cently inspected and culled by an ag-

ricultural expert in the employ of the

bureau. Many of these poultrymen

are said to have had their farms se-

lected as county demonstration farms

by the M. A. C. One of the veterans

exhibited at the ,Ontonagon County

Fair and won first place.





. FARMERS ARE INTERESTED IN





BETTER POU LTRY. ,





 





POULTRY expert from the Agri-



cultural College was in Marquette

county recently, where he established

poultry demonstration farms in four

townships. On this tour the farmers

witnessed several poultry demonstra-

tions for the purpose of instruction in

the best method of attending to poul-

try, and these demonstrations are re-

ported to have been well attended by

farmers.



Operators of .these demonstration

farms will keep a complete record of

cost and income from the poultry.

These records will be ayailable to oth-

er poultrymen as a guide. to sound

practice in feeding, housing and breed-

ing. Similar demonstration farms are

to be established in nearly all counties

of the peninsula, this fall, it is plan-

ned. The extension department of the

M. A. C. is in charge. Chippewa. coun-

ty has fiVe such farms.

OGEBIC county farmers have re-



ceived a. shipment of 20, 000 pounds

from the gift of 100 caps with each

derson, county agricultural agent, re-

ports that the ten: farmers of Gogebic

They are not quite *so-good as the

early promise. A little the best“ end

seems to have gone to tops; yet, they

are uniformly good- all over the field,

no weak spots, and are giving a ten

t6n per. acre yield. That, we figure,





. is a paying crop, and about what we





can expect in an. average year on our

soils. Of course, we are not satisfied

with that. We know it can be increas-

ed and we hope to gradually bring the

fertility to such a state that it can

be increased materially.



The Limiting Element.



I do not think this can. be done by

the use of commercial. fertilizers alone;

neither by barnyard manure or clover

sods alone; but by all three working

together, and supported by drainage,

where needed, and thorough tillage.

The, more I study and work with soils

the more I am convinced that the lime

iting element in most of our soils is

not nitrogen, nor phosphorus, nor po-

tasium, but humus. And the older

the soil the more true this is. Under

the systems of farming in vogue in

this country, we keep our soils work-

ing to the limit, and working for us.

We don’t give them a.- single day off

or a chance to rest and recuperate in

a natural way. This constant working





' over and stirring and mixing hastens





the breaking up and wearing into noth-

ingness of- the organic matter ’which

is. the life of the soil. With plenty of

it incorporated with the sell, them is

bacterial life in abundance; the. soil

remains loamy, loose and friable; it

provides an ideal home for plants; it

retains moisture and makes plant food

available. Without it the soil becomes

hard and dead-like; it dries out quick-

ly after a rain, and plants have to

struggle to get a fair living. With the

soil in healthy physical condition, all

other things work to best advantage

and there is profit; without rich, heal-

thy soils there is no profit, nor even

satisfaction in handling them. How

can we afford not to- improve them?

Hogs Going to Market.



The first load of hogs is being taken

from the corn field October 20, and

consigned to market. The choicest of

the gilts have also been sorted out and



ut back on the alfalfa field. The

'ght end of the spring pig crop will be

left to clean up the corn and soy-bean

crop. They will go to a later and

probably lower market. As the spring

pig crop of the country rounds out into

butcher shape and begins to move

marketward we can but expect that

prices will be lower. .The whole sea-

son, crops, pigs, market and all seems

to be a month behind schedule this

year.



“Lond Me Your Ears."



As I said above, we had sorted out

the choicest of the gilts that we wish—

ed to reserve; for future brood sows.

They had'boen two Weeks in the corn

and soy-bean field with the' market





» Stock, and had filled out and grown

lotion on our 'farm. except the older





brood sows that are apt to get reck—.





less with the turf at times, but these





gilts coming. out of the corn, we feared





might be inclined to root same, should

rain come, and- besidos, some of, them





had taken advantage of a. busy time -

and a slack fence and gotten the habit \

of scratching their backs on the bot- 1





tom- wire—you know how they do it—

and we wanted to head off these two

possible grievances so decided to ring

them.





We enticed them with a little fresh

feed into one of the roomy boxes in

the corner of the big basement where

some of them first saw the light only

a few months ago, and got into action.

Ordinarily we use the wire hog holder

and- catch them by the upper jaw for

this sort of work, but these were “just

pigs” and I think I must have wanted

to feel of them, for I said to Bob (the

same Bob that I wrote so often about

last year), “I’ll catch them by their

‘ears and set them up on their haunch-

es and you dispense the jewelry.” It

offered me a good chance to demon-

strate my own dexterity and at the

same time show the youthful Bob how

it should be done.





So, quietly reaching for a. hand-hold

and murmuring, “Come on now sister,

lend me your ears,” we began opera-

tions. I got a good grip and gave a

mighty heave. I was rarin’ to go—so

was the pig. I says, “back up to me,”

and she backed up, then without or-

ders at all, she double-quicked for-

ward. I says, “Sit down,” but she pre-

ferred to dance on those two hind

feet that were still on the ground. She

side-stepped, she two-stepped, she hog-

trotted, she back-fired between my two

big boots I all the time retaining my

hold and endeavoring to do my stuff.

Bob says, in telling the ladies, “part

of the time one was on top, part of

the time the other.”





My sympathy went out to those

salesmen who, we sometimes see us-

ing all their persuasive powers, but

fail to. get results. But, perseverance

always prevails, and at last, she sat

straight up between my feet, her back

against the wall, her smooth shoulders

between my knees, her ears folded

safely and securely in my hands, while

Bob speaks somewhat thusly: “Be

calm dear lady, while with this copper

ring I do thee endow ” Full sixteen

times this show was staged with many

variations, but exercise is good for

editors they say.

And the Nation’s

Milk Supply





N the North, South, East and West, whet-l,



ever dairy cows are kept, Sugared Schu-

macher Feed and Boss Dairy Ration are a

mighty important part in the nation’s milk

production. These two famous feeds when

fed in combination make a dairy ration

which for “long time” milk production and

health maintenance you cannot equal.





Sugared Schumacher, the Old Reliable carbOo

hydrate feed, is the maintenance part of the

ration and provides the cows with stamina,

vitality and vigor to “stand up” under long

and heavy milking periods, while Boss Dairy

Ration with its 24% protein content furnishes

the choicest protein concentratesto makebig

milk yields. These two feeds fed in combi-

nation represent real true feeding economy.

EXPERIENCE is a great teacher. If you

doubt your ability to materially add to

your cows' milk production. why not prove

it for yourself by an actual trial?





The winter months. with the long period of

dry feeding, are a severe strain on the cows

digestion and assimilation. To get from the

feed ALL the milkuyalue these organs must be

even more vi orous than when green pastur-

age is avails le.





Row-Kare is a medicinal invigorator that

acts directly on the milk-making organs. Even

if your cows are, apparently. healthy. a table~

spoonful of Row-Kare twice a day one week

out of each month will surprisingly increase

the milk—flow.





For the actual treatment of such cow dis

cases as Barrenness. Abortion, Retained Alter-

birth, Secure, Garget Milk Fever, Lost Appe—

tite, etc.. the value oi Row-Kare is undisputed.

its success lies in its invigorating action on

the digestive and genital organs—the seat of

nearly all cow disorders





Prove the value of

Row-Kare thiswinter.

eral store or druggist

HOG SALE SEASON.





 





HE time for the annual fall hog



(sales is at hand. Last fall many

of the breeders of pure-bred swine held

public sales.

what of riding on the market and the

result of_ the sales was not encourag-

ing to the breeder. Farmer buyers:

who were really in the market for

good breeding stock were few and far

between-



This fall, conditions are very nearly

reversed. Very few breeders, so far,

are offering their season’ s crop of hogs

at public appraisement and the market

places have only recently awakened .to

the fact that the surplus of hogs with

which the country was saturated a

year ago has taken to its heels and

disappeared. Pigs and sows have gone

trooping to the markets steadily in

enormous numbers, but not in much

surplus tonnage, and the end of the

deportation has arrived. Many a farm

has disposed of its last hog, and re-

turning good prices for pork products

are causing many to be looking again

with interest for the dependable old

sow. .

According to all the rules of the

game, the sales this fall and winter

should be well patronized. With hogs

stepping up to a. much higher price

level; with the supply of choice breed-

ing stock greatly reduced; and with a

liberal supply of good hog feed in the

country, it will not be surprising if the

resulting sale returns are highly grat-

ifying.-—-Pope.





Hogs had, become some- .





be apt to get too much salt. Again

salt in any quantity would not prevent

the silage from freezing. '





An excellent way" to salt sews is to ;

scatter it on their silage after the 311- __ ""





age is put into their mangers. Then





yen know each cow gets“ what she ,

needs and no more, and the salt nav- .





are the silage, making it more pala-

table. If you salt the silage as you





fill the silo you have no way of telling





how much each cow is getting, and tab

much salt is injurious. -



If you will weigh out an ounce of

salt to get acquainted with the correct





volume, you will have no trouble to”





give each cow about the cerrect

amount by taking it out of the meas-

are with the hand as you pass from

one manger to another.



The reason for your cows not doing

as well as you expected is undoubt-

edly due to some other cause than the

salt they got from the silage. ‘



Of course it is not necessary to salt

the cow everytime you feed her sil-

age. The salt can be placedwhere

she can help herself and she will not

overeat; or you can salt her once a

week by giving her five or six ounces

at once. But in our judgment, the best

way is to give her a little by way of

flavoring her food at each feeding;

Abortion .—Three of my cows calved

too early. This was last spring. Two

of them calved a week too early, an-

other came fresh three weeks before

time. Calves all lived, but are weak.

I had another cow come fresh four or

five weeks early. I had our local vet-

contagious abortion. What shall I do?

WHEAT





Wheat prices averaged lower in the

last week but the finish showed little

net change. The pressure of heavy

receipts at spring wheat markets has

continued. While the phenomenal

movement to market has kept prices

from showing any runaway tendency,

it must be remembered that it will

mean less pressure distributed over

the remaining eight months of the

crop year. The inference is that there

is considerably less wheat left on the

farms than there was at this timellast

year. Flour mills are grinding at

above the normal rate for this season

of the year. Combined exports of both

wheat and flour for the four months

from July to October, inclusive, will

probably run close to 115,000,000 .bush-

els. Even with increased competition

from Canada during the next two

months, the United States will prob-

ably have shipped 170,000,000 bushels

by January 1. It should not be diffi-

cult in the second half of the crop

year to dispose of the remaining 80,-

000,000 or 90,000,000 bushels of our





surplus.

’ RYE





Rye has shown greater weakness

than wheat recently in spite of the

statistical‘strength of the farmer. New

export sales have not been so large

recently but this does not seem to be

an important matter in View of the

large portion of our surplus which has

already been placed” The rye market

may hesitate for a while but a careful

analysis indicates that strong develop-

ments may come later on.





CORN





Corn prices have been stronger than

wheat largely because of specualtive

buying, stimulated by .the unfavorable

husking returns. It is possible that

much higher corn prices will be seen

next year but it would appear that

the market already discounts at good

deal of the shortage in the crop, inas-

much as the live stock producers are

steadily cutting down on their require-

ments, particularly by liquidating

hogs. If husking returns continue to





show that the crop has been over-es-





timated or if wheat prices take a de-

cided upward trend corn may rise also

in spite of the fact that the‘season





, for the new crop movement is at hand.





OATS





Oats .prices have had a decided set-





‘back in the last few weeks but seem





 





a





to be regaining strength- Primary res

ceipts are: gradually? falling omni-

though they remain about 25 per cent”-

above normal for this season of the

year. The visible supply also is not

increasing as much from week to Week

as it did a, short time ago. The last

week seems to have brought some im-

provement in the demand from the

eastern consuming sections.





BARLEY





During the four weeks ending Octo-





ber 25, over'6,000,000 bushels of barley. ,





not including malt, were cleared for

export” This is the heaviest move-

ment from the United States -within a‘

month’s time in a number ‘of years.





The advance in» clover seed markets ‘





has slowed down in 'the last woek.

Prices are much higher than a year

ago, and buyers are not anxious to ac-

cumulate high-priced seed. Growers

are not selling freely. Timothy seed

has dropped to a new low for th

season. .





FEEDS





Dullness still rules in feed markets

with wheat feeds showing a heavy

tone and holders rather anxious over

the continued slow demand from con~

suming districts. Corn feeds are weak

.while oil meals show but little change.





HAY





Hay markets showed further weak-

ness last week. Mild weather is re-

stricting consumption while receipts

are fairly large and the glut of low

grades continues. Alfalfa hay showed

independent strength for a time but

has weakened along with the rest of

the list.





POULTRY AND EGGS





Egg prices apparently find no ob-

stacle in their advance to higher

ground. Last week’s progress carried

them up three cents a dozen. Strictly

fresh eggs are scarce and are selling

at a premium.



Receipts of poultry are large and

prices are irregular and dominated to

a. big extent by demand from day to

.day. Reports of a decrease in the

turkey crop this year as compared

with a year ago and that a smaller

percentage will be in condition for the

Thanksgiving market indicate that the

price paid to producers for Thanksgiv-

ing turkeys will be near that of last

year. .

CHEESE . . .





Cheese markets are unsettled as the

trade has slowed doWn. Production

is holding up well, the movement of

storage cheese is still unsatisfactory

and prices have little chance of ad-





vancing. No further declines are ex— »





pected by many dealers, however, who

are unwilling to make concessions

from current quotations in order to

move their goods.





POTATOES





Carlot shipments of potatoes have

continued heavy whereas some shrink-

age in the movement usually occurs in

the latter part of October. Some of

the cooperatives have been moving po-

tatoes into warehouses but arrivals at

distributing markets have been bur—

densome enough to keep the market

in a depressed state. Some improve-

ment' is to be expected whenever cold

weather sets in. Northern sacked

while Idaho sacked Rurals are selling

WHEAT ACREAGE, INCREASED.

The wheat situation is peculiar. We





alone have a good wheat crop. while

the consuming world is short of bread





 





 





grains. Ourproducers have reacted

to higher prlcesin the usual way by

planting an to winter wheat





from five to ten per cent hisher than

last season.





Furunssaoc SlTUATION LOOKS

STRONGER. -





Fewer hogs are in sight for next

year The corn situation means lighter

weight hogs, and the trend of hog

production in Europe is about the

same as here. all of which indicates a

fair outlook for higher hog prices. It

is suggested by the bureau of special-

ists that this decrease in hog produc-

tion may have an effect in improving

the bee-f cattle situation.





CATTLE PRICES IN A BAD WAY.





 





 





 





 





The beef cattle producers, says 0.

live stock statistician of

the Bureau of Agricultural Economics,

from the point of price are in the low-

est ranks at agricultural producers.

Unfinished cattle and grass-fat. cattle

have sold at lower prices this fall than

last. as well as any time since 1912,

with the possible exception of 1921.

While other important agricultural

commodities have made material

price recoveries from the 1921 slump,

the bulk of the cattle have made little

or none. Grain-finished cattle are in

a better position, but it is far from

developing much optimism among the





7 cattlemen.
