CONTEST.

 

HE Agricultural Department of
Central State Normal is planning
'on a grain and stock judging contest
to be held at Mt. Pleasant on Novem—
ber -12. There will be three types of

. contestants, rural boys and girls, high

school students, and farmers. There
will be judging of corn, beans, wheat,
oats and potatoes; also of swine,
sheep, horses, dairy cattle, and beef
cattle.”

Four specimens of animals, or four
ten-ear samples of corn will be select-
ed for judging and the contestants
marked according to the usual placing
and marking system. M. A. C. pro~
fessors and other prominent men will
act as judges. Each school may send
as many to contest as it may care to.
The awards will be made byschools.
The three highest contestants will
compete with similar number from
other-\schools. ' ‘ '

Ordinarily from the strict economy
of foodstuffs good potatoes should not
be used other than for human con-
sumption, but in years of over-produc-
tion the growers —of table stock pota-
toes can feed to live stock surplus po-
tatoes when there is danger of greater
loss to the grower by placing them on
the market than there is in convert-
ing them into by-products through
live stock.

This applies principally to the grow-
ers of potatoes or to the live stock

owners in the sections where potatoes '

are abundant and cheap. With 'the
present price 0f corn in the Cadillac,
Traverse City and Gaylord sections at
$1.35 per bushel, the value of potatoes
as a substitute for corn as a live stock
feed makes the potatoes worth thirty-
five cents per bushel, and in many
places the price per hundred pounds
of potatoes to the farmer at loading
station isanot much, if any, above this
figure.

Cull potatoes can be fed profitably
under” all conditions. There are al-

ways some small, bruised, cut, secOnd
growth, over-sized, or diseased pota-
toes that should not be marketed, and
‘ with the promulgation of the Standard
Grades of potatoes by the State De-
partment of Agriculture, these pota-
toes must necessarily come out. The
majority of these culls should be fed

to live stock, and can be at a profit.
one reason for the great movement
of potatoes at this time of year is the
need of many growers for ready mon-
ey. However, thOSe that can hold and

have stock to feed, and especially in
the north Where corn silage is so poor
and potatoes so good, potatoes can be
substituted for corn silage, and it
makes a very good substitute. The
potatoes could be used in this way at
least until either the price of potatoes
comes up or the price of corn comes
down, so there is an even exchange,
and then the potato grower still has

the potatoes and to market them most

profitably is his most earnest desire.

In many European countries fully
forty per cent of their potato crop
goes as live stock food and only about
thirty per cent goes for human con-
sumption. If the potato crop is to
have any stable place in our agricul-
ture, we must look forwardvto taking
care of our surplus. Weather condi-
tions, especially temperature, has such
a very important effect on the result-
ant yield of an acre of potatoes that

the yield can be made to vary ex-

tremely, accOrding to the temperature ‘

during the developing stages of the
potato and the weather is something
we cannot control completely.

This season’s weather conditions

were particularly favorable to the pro- .

duction of a good quality as well'as
good yield of potatoes. The situation
this year with good quality Ad good
yield is somewhat different than in
many former years. Good mature
stock will not shrink, shrivel and rot
.like immature stock. Exceptionally
favorable conditions prevailed during
the harvesting season so that the stock
is dry and clean, bright and ripe,-no
second growth to speak of, some over-
sized, but few small, making a condi-
tion for ideal storage. W'here stock
is bright, ripe, good type, and dry
-when put in storage and given half a
chance, it will come through the win-
ter in good shape. So that the ele-
ment of speculation is considerably
removed as far as the stock itself
goes, and as for the price the present
price does not allow for much gamb-
ling because, if potatoes in the produc-
ing sections were to go much lower

they would have no exchange value. A
good deal like the German mark of a
few month ago. An American dollar
would buy a billion. To those so situ-
ated that they can take advantage of
feeding the surplus potatoes, a few
words of caution should be made.

Valuable Storage Experiences

Some Storage Practice: Wézofi Pro 7264’ Highly Profitoo/o
By M. Coverdell

E have found that cabbage keep
best in cave or cellar storage
if wrapper in. two or , three
thicknesses of paper. The roots and-

stalks are leit'fon,‘ which ’makes it7

handy to tie them up where they oc-
cupy the least space, and where they
will not get damp.

.In storing cabbage for poultry feed
(where more space is required), we

. dig a trench about a foot deep and

just wide enough to accommodate a

‘ single head of cabbage. This is lined

with straw and cornstalks. The cab-
bageheads are placed in the trench,
head down, with the roots up. Hay
or straw is spread thinly over the

. heads, and about six inches of dirt

tossed over them. With another layer
of cornstalks, straw and trash over
the dirt, it will freeze some, but the
cabbage Will keep in fine condition.

.. :The natural flavor and crispness of I
“was . product are:- preserved better by

 

any we ever have :_

  

are stored for table use, we arrange
medium-sized barrels or boxes with a
layer of dirt, then a. layer of vegeta-
bles, till the bin is filled, when a thick
layer of paper is spread over all. We
keep stored products by this method
till the followingApril, their crispness
and tempting flavor remaining almost
the same as if just pulled from the
grOund.

.NVe usually wrap several boxes of .
apples in paper, particularly if there
is a scarcity of fruit at storage, time,
because we then can utilize seco’hd~
grade, cheaper products for storage.
Such products are inspected a few
weeks after storage, to guard against
spoilage, bad ones being discarded, to
avoid- further contamination.

Out-door Pit Preferred,

In ovate or seller storage We always
have been troubled by mm; and veg-'
tables getting too warm (which shriv- _

ts spresflnsl. air by,

they form a cone—sh '

   

in particular, is almost sure to be too
warm. The cellar or cave usually is
too damp.

We have found the out-door storage
pit overcomes both of these draw-
backs, if properly constructed and the
vegetables stored correctly as to qual—
ity and care of them. Improperly
handled in the out-door pit, products
are more easily lost than in cellar stor—
age, since they are not where they can
be watched so closely.

Our storage-pit is about three feet
Wide, from a. foot to two feet deep, and
as long as needed. Sometimes it is
round, any desired width. The pit is
on a slope, preferably to the north, for
good drainage. It is lined with hay,
straw, bean—hulls, thick paper—any-
thing to keep the products clean and
dry. Old boards next to the sides will
prevent caving—in of the soil

Products are poured into the pit till
heap, when

   

ver them. to .

a thickness of five or six inches. Next
to this is a three or four-inch layer of
fresh dirt. The pit is left standing in
this condition till the first sharp

freeze, so the coldness will be held ,

near the stored products through the
winter. In the meantime, it is well to

cover this layer of dirt with some old -

lumber or old roofing, to guard against
the entrance of heavy fall rains. A
trench is run the entire
around the pit, with an opening at the
lowest point.

The layer next to the dirt may be
of any kind of rotted hay, straw, corn-
stalks, strawy manure, etc., for pro-
tection against further freezing. .An-

other layer of dirt is tossed over this ,

covering, to avoid scattering. If pat-
ted down with the back of the spade,
so much the better.

Note—For ideal conditions, a venti- - ‘

later should be provided, reaching
from the stored products to the outer
surface of the pit. it is about six,‘

stove-pipe last season). Bay or‘ f-w. i

E do not need to

 

 

Doing go far back in

. the pages of history

Community to find where the
Jobs

work of any commu-

nity was done largely
through individual effort. Then people
trudged along in their own independ-
ent way. Gradually, however, new
tasks and many of the old ones came
to be matters of community concern
so that nowadays most live centers
have, in one form or another, what we
might term local development organi-
zations. These organizations in vari-

' ous ways do many things that as indi-
viduals we either could not do effi-
ciently or at all.

In farming communities, there are
many things which the members of
farmers’ organizations seek to do.
They may cooperate to improve a
road, to build a hall, a church, a better
school, a creamery, or a cheese fac-
tory, to promote a forest nursery, a
marketing association, a testing asso-
ciation, boys’ and girls’ clubs, and per-
haps many other enterprises.

But, before community work of this
kind can be done, certain factors are
necessary. There must be, for in-
stance, leaders who see clearly the
purpose of the movement. There must
also be followers who have moral and
intellectual confidence in that leader-
ship. The purpose of the movement
should be worth-while, and based upon
an economically sound foundation.
Where care is exercised in the choice
of projects, an organization should
find itself going from one success to

1 another, gaining confidence and power
to accomplish far beyond the limits of
its first possibilities.

HE cost of farm

Cutting machinery is a big

M h. factor in determining

, ac "'ery the profits of farming.
Costs If this cost can be re-

duced and at the same
time efficiency of production main-
tained, it will be possible for the farm-
or to figure larger net returns from
his year’s efforts.

There are different ways of reduc-
ing machinery costs. The one method
available to practically ever farmer
is to extend the life of his various
implements. Make the binder serve

. “realty years instead of ten; the mow-
or to do the same; the spreader to do
its took over a decade instead of five
years. and so on with the plows and
other equipment.

" ing he-hecessary, for seven» or eight,
‘ hundred dollars a structure. caugbe

built that will house from ’ twelve to
fifteen hundred dollars worth of mar
ohinery over a. period of forty or more

'years.

The point to be given personal con-
sideration is this: That now is the
time when most of the farm equip-
ment may be found out of doors, and
these coming four or five months are
the ones that take the largest toll
from this equipment.

.NE of the great

an in essentials of mar-
1.1: g keting success is to

e r know the market.
Market] This is difficult for

the individual farmer
because he does not have available
enough information to give him a
country-wide or world-wide view of
the market. Therefore, because he
does not have the information or does
not use it, he markets quite fro:
quently COntrary to what good judg-
ment would indicate.

The Minnesota Experiment Station
has recently issued a. bulletin on co-
operation which shows well the ten-
dency of farmer marketing. Their rec-
ords show the marketing of potatoes
for twelve years, from 1909 to. 1921.
Four of these years it paid to store
and eight of them it was wise to sell.
In five of these eight the spring selling
price was actually lowerthan that in
the fall.

They had data available for eight of
these years on the ownership of stored
stocks. In the four years that it paid
to store, the dealers had twenty-nine
per cent of the stock, but in the four
when the increase in price did not pay
for the storage, the dealers had only
25.6 per cent and the farmer 74.4 per
cent.

While the differences are not start-
ling these figures show definitely who
knows what the trend of the market
is going to be.

The way the potatoes are marketed,
the farmer will have to store a goodly
percentage each year, but if he was
marketwise he would sell and feed
more in fall in the unfavorable years
and less in the favorable ones.

The great hope of the farmer in tak-
ing advantage of market trends is not
in individual efforts, but through unity
of efforts by sane and business-like
cooperation. The cooperative unit gets
in contact with more reliable {sources
of information and is thus able to
gauge the market better.

This work will continue to grow, be-
cause it is fulfilling useful purposes.
It is quickening the progress of ang'
culture. Its demonstrative workis a
most convincing means of education.
And, while it is making present—day
agriculture more progressive, it- is
training farmers of the‘future whose
minds will always be open to sane
conviction. ‘-

VEN With its lips

The Trend and downs, coop-
eration is one of the

Of C?°per' chief considerations
atton of modern times. The

trend is toward great-
er cooperation in all kinds of activity.
Employers and employes find that
cooperation brings better results for
both. Large public service corpora-
tions have found that consumer stock-
holders are desirable ones to have. In-
dustrial concerns are making their
workers partners in the business with
beneficial effects. And in agriculture,
great strides are being made in the
cooperative consideration of common
problems.
Cooperation will continue to grow
because it. tends to develop the broth-
erhood of man. It brings understand-

ing and unity of interest which is con:

trary to misunderstandings and hos-
tilities.

There is one outstanding example
of cooperation which should make the
cooperative advocate enthusiastic.
That is our own country, the United
States of America. Here fortYeight
states are working together in har-
mony while in Europe thirty rival na-
tions, covering about as much terri-
tory, are working at cross purposes
because hatreds and jealousies are
blinding them from‘e'ch others good-
nesses. V What Europe needs, what the
world needs, is more cooperation, not
less of it.

RECENT investi-

lncrea” ’ ion by Professor

. Homer, of the Michi-
Mllk C9,” gan Agricultural Col-
.flHHPthn lege rural economics

department, of the av-
erage consumption of milk in Detroit
shows that there is a great opportu-
nity to broaden the markets for milk.

Professor Horner’s investigation in-
dicated that the average family used
less than a. pint of milk a day and that
nearly twenty-five per cent of the chil-
dren between the ages of three and six:
received no milk, and up to eighteen
years of age about thirty per cent
of the young folks were not drinking
milk.

The ability to afford milk was not a
factor in milk consumption for ‘the
families earning over $3,000 'used less
milk per child than the poorer fam-
ilies. So the ignorance of the consum-
ing public regarding milk as an arti-
cle of food must be the reason for
such a. small use of such valuable food.

Perhaps the greatest obstacle to
greater milk—consumption is the idea
that one has to chew something ‘when
in need of food. Children will be fed
more coatly foods which are ill-nour-

ishing, because they are something to

W ELL, seein’ as electshun is over, ' :5
everythingis settled for a while ‘
anyhow. We all went ta the booths
and put our crosses in the right place,
so all we have ta do now is ta pay
taxes, and let the politishuns what got
in forget their promises, and them
what didn’t get in hunt fer a job in
which they really gotta work fer
a. livin’. '

A coupla weeks ago I said some-
thin’ about votin’. Well, lots 0’ folkses
took my advice’
cause more voted 1.
than before. But
there’s some what '
took it what 'I
wish wouldn’t it
done it. -

Fer inst, Jake
Willis got in and
I didn’t want him
to. He’s been
feedin’ at the public trough long enuf.

He started at constabul and now is .
got ta be sheIiff. If he keeps agoin’,

he’ll be president and then the coun-

try will sure go to the dogs, ’cause 7} 1
the1e’s only two things Jake likes,
’cept himself, and them is dogs and
pollyticks. So, ta save the county I
wanted ta see Jake beaten.

I didn’t run fe1 nothin’ this time.
’cause I didnt wanta attract no atten-
shun from Coolidge and the other fel-
lows what was 1unnin’. Anyhow, I
have beaten Bill Bryan’s record in run-
nin’ fe1 offuce and not gettin’ it, so

msatisfied. Both Bill and me run
for offnce and got nothin’ , so both 0' '
us decided ta run fer nothin’ this time, '

so we’d be sure ta get what we run '
er. ”

Well, it seems kinda. nice til. have
the womin vote. They’s kinda enter-
tainmunt ta look at and talk ta while
your waitin’ ta vete. I notice the men
act more like gentulmen than they did
in the old votin’ days.

The presidunt won out fine all right.
He’s a smart fellow, he knows how ta
get along with the womin. They just ‘
think he’s fine, ’cause he don’t say
nuthin’. That just gave the womin a
chance ta talk and they talked him
right back inta. ofluce again] ’

There’s lots 0’ fellows what talk

ands t corn'can be fed to hog-s safe-
ly. as 1 ng as they'will eat it.
Storind Soft Corn for Later Feeding.
The very immature corn may be
saved for later feeding, either as sil-
age or fodder. The silo has its limita-
tions because of the lack of capacity
in times of such an emergency when
it is desirable to make more than the
usual amount of silage, but there are
ways of increasing the capacity of the
silo in effect.

One of the most effective ways of
enSiloing a larger acreage of the crop
In mak-
ing silage from car com the same prim
ciples apply as in making ordinary sil-
age. It is not necessary to remove
the husks from the ears; in fact, the
presence of the husks is an advantage
because they make better compacting
” Usually it will be
necessary to add some Water with the
ear corn silage through the blower of
the cutter in the ordinary way If the
corn is in the late resting ear stage it
will require approximately forty gal-
lons of water to a. ton of cars. Corn
that is quite milky will require little
or no water. It is important that the
last four or six feet of the silo be

. filled with finely cut oat straw or sto-

ver to avoid molding of the more val—
uable silage below.

Shocking is one of the best ways to
save a great deal of a soft corn crop.
Under ordinary conditions in the corn
belt, nearly mature corn can stay in
the 'shock safely until the ears are dry
enough to crib, even if this takes all
winter. In fact, the cars will be safer
in small, well-made shocks than in the
crib. Fodder from very immature
corn, when properly cured, has about
the same feeding .value' as timothy
hay. .

 

Sort Out the Soft Corn.

Much can be accomplished byksep'.
. sitting the; soft cern from that which
“an tne best solution.”

"is sound. Even the corn within a field

varies greatly in softness. one wet
imbiature ear stored among others
that are nearly mature frequently will
cause them all to 1:0t,wherep,s the bet-
ter. ears might have remained sound
had .they been"stored alone.- Sorting
may be done in the field or after the
corn has been brought to the crib. In
the former cage the wagon-box may be
divided into two parts.
being done by the bushel it will prob-
ably» be better to do the sorting at the
crib. ’A platform may be built of old
lumberonto which the corn can be
dumped fer sorting. The better corn
then can be handled separately and
saved for sale or for late feeding The
softest corn can be stored in tempor-
ary cribs for prompt feeding.

Cribs Should be Ventilated.

If soft corn is to be cribbed safely,
the one essential is to provide ample
ventilation. Only in this way can the
excess moisture be removed. The or-
dinary corn crib is planned for storing

corn containing twenty to twenty-five

per cent of moisture and is inadequate
to care for corn containing thirty-five
to forty-five per cent or more of mois-
ture.

By the use of various simple venti—

If husking is

lating devices, most ordinary cribs can
be adapted to care for- soft corn. In

the case of corn containing thirty to.

thirty-five per cent moisture there
should not be more than two feet be—
tWeen any part of the corn and a
free-moving current of air. This con-
dition will-be provided by a crib eight
or nine feet wide with a single venti-
lating partition down the middle. A
ventilating partition may be construct-
ed by placing two parallel rows of 2x4
studding six inches or more apart so
as to divide the crib into two or more
sections. These are covered with 1x4
or 1x6-inch boards about two inches
apart, or with woven wire of a small
enough mesh to prevent the cars from
falling through.

The main ventilators should always
extend from one side or end of the
crib to the other and should open di-
rectly into the outside air.
crib slats will interfere with the free
movement of air through the ventilat-
ors and therefore should be cut away
at the ventilator openings. , Cross
ventilators may open into the main
ventilators at one end, but should 0p-
en into the outside air at the other
end as in the case of the main ventil-
ators. It is the moving air that car-
ries away the excess moisture. A dead
air space does no good and frequently
does harm.

Even the ‘

Artificial Drylng.

The Iowa Agricultural Experiment '

Station reports that soft corn can be

dried economically on the farm by -,

forcing heated air through it. A single
opening in the center of a. square or

round crib may be used. A ventilator - ‘L

should be placed over this so that the
hot air will go to all sides of the crib;

The blower from a. silage cutter may
be used to force the air through the
heater and corn. If such a blower is
not available a regular ventilating fan
operated by a small gasoline engine
can be used. The size of the furnace
will vary considerably with the amount
of corn to be dried and the tempera-
ture of the air. In the experiment at
Ames, Iowa, the corn wasseven feet
deep in a crib twelve feet in diameter.
A furnace with a twenty-eight-inch
grate furnished enough heat to dry
this corn down to ten and onehalf per
cent of moisture in forty—eight hours,‘
with an outside temperature of abOut
ten degrees below zero. The moisture
in crib corn has been reduced in this
way from over twenty per cent to less
than ten per cent at a. cost of from
one to six cents per bushel for fuel
and power. To this must be added the

cost of the ventilators, furnace, etc.
Salting Soft Corn.
Salting corn is not a cure-all. There

soft corn came into prominence in the
fall of 1917. Experiments by he Iowa
and Illinois Agricultural Experiment
Stations, and observations of cribs of
salted corn indicate that this method
can be used to good advantage in con—
nection with thorough ventilation,

Satling corn is not a cure-all. There
is no way to keep corn sweet without
getting the water out of it. Salt will
tend to draw the moisture out of the
corn, check the development of mold,
and help to prevent heating in the
crib. Then, ample ventilation will dry
the corn out rapidly enough so that a
good quality of corn will result. It is
better to spread the corn uniformly in
the crip and sprinkle the salt over
this ev only Eight quarts of salt for a
fOIIy bushel load of c0111 is the stand
aid locommendation. This may be in-
Cleascd to twelve quarts if the corn is
very soft.

All of these recommendations are
for reducing loss. Soft, immature corn
can not be converted into sound, high-
quality grain, but an otherwise total
loss of the crop can be turned into
some use by careful study of the con-
ditions on each farm 'and by the appli-
cation of the above suggestions which
most nearly fit the particular problem.

America’ s Oldest Grange Reorganizcs

Afier Irifiy-szx Year: Potomac No.

OTOMAC Grange No. 1, the first

subordinate Grange ever organ-

ized, and therefore the parent of
all the granges, was reorganized Oc-
tober 18, 1924, at the National Grange
Washington headquarters, with the fol-
lowing ofiicers: Master, Dr. T. C. At-
keson; overseer, A. M. Loomis; lec-
turer, Clyde J. Marquis; steward, E.
E. Reynolds; assistant steward, Dr. H.
C. Taylor; chaplain, Mathiew Trimble;
treasurer, William M. King; secretary,
S. 'S. McCloskey; gatekeeper, C. W.
Holman; Ceres, Mrs.‘ C. ‘J. Marquis;
Pomona, Mrs, H. ‘C. Taylor; Flora,
Miss Mary Meek Atkeson; lady assist-

ant steward, Mrs. A. M. Loomis.

The original Potomac Grange No.1
was established on January 8,1868,

On‘ April 3, 1868, Brother Kelley
started on his first trip to plant the
Grange tree among the farmers of the
country. He says: “I had received,
as my cash account, some funds from
the subordinate grange and I was now
starting out, satisfied and determined
that the Order could and should pay
its own expenses ” This is evidence
that Potomac Grange No 1 had been
collecting fees and dues from its mem-
bers. The first grange Brother Kelley
organized on this trip was Fredonia,
New York, No. 1. This was organized
on April 16, 1868. .

"A few weeks before the close of
President Cleveland’s first term, Bro.
Norman J. Colman, of Missouri, found-

It has long been felt by those who
have interested themselves in the re-
organization of Potomac Grange No.1
that a. live, progressive grange, a wor-
thy representative of the farmers’
great fraternal Order, should be main-
tained in the nation’s capital, the birth-
place of the organization, and that
from the standpoint of sentiment, if
for no other reason, the first subordi-
nate grange ever established, the one
with which Kelley, Ireland, Saunders,
Trimble and the other founders of the

, ' Just Common sense

ARM electrification, like farming itself, is a matter of coma

mon sense.

Farmers do not want electricity unless they can use it profitably.

But how can they learn to use

it profitably? By experiment.

That is exactly what is now being done.

A National Committee of economists and engineers has organa

ized

state groups of farmers to whom electric service is nOW-

tendered. Each state group, with the assistance of its agricul—
tural college and farm—paper editors, applies electricity in old
and new ways. It keeps accurate records of operating and
producing costs for comparison with the costs of unelectrified
years. Electricity is being adapted to farming, and farming to

electricity.

From time to. time the results of these experiments will be
made known. Farmers will not have to wait years before they
can throw switches and fill silos electrically.

Even those farmers who have long had electricity, because
their local conditions made it profitable to appl it, will receive
the benefit. For they will see how they can ma e even greater

use of electric service.

Thus the common—sense method of gatheri the facts experi'
mentally is helping‘along the work of farm e certification.

The Committee in charge of the work is
composed of economists and en ineers
representing the American Farm ureeu
Federation, the Departments of Agricul-
ture, the Interior and Commerce, the
Power Farniig Association of America,
the American Society ongricultm-el En-
gineers and [he National Electric Light
Associntion.

roughage were making their owners
the most money. hence we want to use

all the roughage we can in a. ration—

it’s the cheap food. Silage and clover
0r alfalfa hay furnish the best and
cheapest ,roughage that can be ob
tained.

Sunflowers do not add anything to
the value of the silage. It is not quite
as valuable as corn silage, but if by
planting twoplants together you can
increase the yield, Well and good.

Thirty-five pounds of silage and
twelve pounds of clover hay will fur-
nish 1.34 pounds of protein and there
will be 1.16 pounds to be furnished by
the concentrated .or grain part of the
ration. One and three-fourths pounds
of cottonseed meal and five pounds of
ground cats will furnish 1.19 pounds
of protein, which is about as near as
it is practical to figure a. ration. Of
course, you can get ‘ this desired

, amount of protein with other. combina-

tions of feed, but taking the present
prices into consideration this ration—
thirty-five pounds of silage, twelve
pounds of clover hay, five pounds of
ground oats and one and three-fourths
pounds of cottonseed meal is about as
economical as you can get, and it is
well balanced. -

UNNECEBSARY PROTEIN A8 S-UP-

PLEMENT TO PASTURE.

I am feeding my dairy cows a. ration
of 300 lbs. corn flake; 300 lbs. oats,
ground; 200 lbs. bran; 100 lbs. oil
meal ; 100 lbs. cottonseed meal, (cows
on pasture). Is this a. good balance,
with winter hay and corn silage ad—
ded? Please tell me what change you
would advise—XV. G. H.

Growing plants contain more diges-
tible protein than the same plants af-
ter they are dry-cured. To illustrate:
Common red clover hay contains pro-
tein, carbohydrates and fat in almost
exact proportion to form a balanced
ration, yet a cow can not produce a.
maximum flow of milk on clover hay
alone; but she can on fresh, green,
lucious clover pasture. She can’t eat
enough of the clover hay, it’s too
bulky, to get the required amount of
food nutrients; however, with the clo~
ver pasture, if in its prime, so much
more of it is digestible that she gets
the necessary amount. This being the
case it is not necessary to feed so
much protein in the pasture ration
of grain as in winter when the rough«
age is not as digestible.

The grain ration in this inquiry con—
tains.sufiicient protein for a winter
ration and unless the pasture grasses
are old and tough, the oil meal and
the cottonseed meal could be omitted.
This would make the ration consider-
ably cheaper. Of course, if the pas-
ture is June grass, that plant is past
its prime now for this seas0n and
would not be as digestible as earlier
in the season.

There is some confusion about the
names of the various by-products of
corn when it is manufactured into
starch and, glucose, but if you mean
by corn flakes that it is what is usu-
ally called corn bran, then it is no
better, pound for pound, than corn
meal. Gluten meal and germ meal,
other byproducts or corn, are much

richer in protein. than the corn itselt‘ ~

no PLANTS FEEL?

 

Has a. plant got a sense of feeling?
Would like to knew for the benefit _of
our botany class. -——F. L.

Your question reminds me of a sim-
11a? one I heard a. great many years
ago. “Daddy does a. woodchuck think. 7”
How would you answer the question?
This, however, was the answer: “I
don't know, sonny, but if I had the
mind of a woodchuck I would know.
Woodchucks seem to understand each
other ” And so, if I were a plant and
someone was sticking pins into me I
would be able to tell if I had feeling.

legs and carried two more and was
ten times as large as I would not be
able to tell how I felt because I have
no way of showing him so that he can
understand.

For a- long time we human beings
have been t1ying to find out whether
plants feel, think, have colds, get sick
and the like, and some of us have
been laughing at the attempts made
to show that sensitiveness or irrita-
bility is the same in plants and ani~
mals in principle. Of courSe,.we feel
a pinch,a pin prick or fire because of
the nerves in our hand or foot or any
part of th? body, but plants have no
nervous System such as we have. It
does not prove, hoWever, "that there
_isn’t some other way that the plant
might feel. It only shows that we do
_not know, now, but some day we may
if we can improve our methods of de—
tecting the plant’s reactions.

An Indian prince by the name of J.
C. Bose has invented a very sensitive
recording machine which he can con-
nect up to a. plant. He claims that the
records show that the plant feels a
draught from an open door and shiv-
ers; is plbased when you pat it or
stroke it gently, and feels the injury
when you hit it hard and is killed
when you pass an electric shock

through it because thereafter the ma-
chine records no change.

VALUABLE STORAGE EXPERI-
ENCES. ~

is stufled into the ventilator, except
on moderate, bright days, when ’it'is
removed to air out the pit.- '

,Storage Briefs.

Select only strictly first-class prod-
ucts for storage. Bruises, breaks in
the skin, rotten specks and worm-
holes mean spoilage later on.

Allow products for storage to cure
out-doors as long as possible without
freezing. Never allow sun or rain to
strike curing products. The former
will cause sun-burn; the latter will
start rot. -

Store products only on cool, airy
days, so they will go into storage with-
out any heat present. Never place the
entire supply in cave storage or in
out-door storage, but have some stored
by various approved methods, so at
least one part will be sure to keep. -

Where stored products begin to
show spoilage, sort out the ones which
may be used, and either work them

into' some form of food for the family;

or place them at once on the market.
In fact, it is advisable in most cases
to market all surplus stored products

within two or three months after stor- .

age, to avoid all further losses by
spoilage and shrinkage. This is par-
ticularly true of products stored in the
basement, as evaporation of the juices
often is vely rapid, and products soon
a1e practically without value.

bees for ~the winter. .Most Chippewa
bee-keepers are packing this year with
clover chaff. From one apiar‘y 500 are
to be shipped to Mississippi for the
winter, while a portion of the hives
will be kept in the county to ascertain
how well they can winter here. Mr.
D. L. McMillan, county agent, states
that Upper Peninsula honey is excep-
tionally clear and thus fetches a pre-
mium price. To raise bees success-
fully, says the agent, requires as much
attention as is the ease with a herd

. of cattle.

‘some kind. Gudridge, of course, had

[offered no suggestion until it was
asked.
“What would you do, Morton?”

Grain finally muttered.

Morton frowned and looked back to
Gudridge. '

“What would I do?” He turned his
gaze upon Crain again. “Since you’ve
asked me, this is what I’dvd'o:

“I would give him a hundred dollars,
cash in hand, to make the deal legally
binding; I would draw up a paper, in
which he acknowledges reeeipt of this
hundred, andin which you agree to
pay him five thousand in the event the

amount. Miss Mayland and you and
Gudridge to sign that, with your house'—
keeper and'me for witnesses. Further
than that I certainly would not go.
There is a big chance that Bright’s
discovery was something on the order
of ‘fool’s gold,’ something that isn’t
Worth anything at all, you know.”

Bub Gudridge straightened in his
chair and gave Finley Morton a look
that was full of a desire to kill. Crain’s
quiet voice broke somewhat the ten-
sion of the situation.

“You’ll remember, Gudridge, I sug-
gested the sensible way out for us,
and you refused—you wanted it all.
Considering all your boorishness, and
even villany, in the matter, I won’t
make you a better offer than my
friend—” he jerked a thumb toward
Morton—“has just named. Take it or
leave it,” he told the hillman sharply.

Gudridge rose and paced the floor,
now and then giving Morton a glance

of hatred. Finally he went back to
the table. _

“Draw up your contract,” he
growled.

Crain got pen and ink and foolscap

standing between Angelina and her

“ TOMORROW’ "

. By James E.

Always, he would do it “tomorrow,”
And sldeotcp‘the tasks of today;
The future held years he could borrow,

So he threw the bright . present
away;
His pet words were “sometime" and
“later;"
He never could do it “right now,"
He came to be known as a “waiter,"
Who dodged all his duties, somehow.

In winter, he waited for summer,
To do what he dreamed he would do;
“Someday,” he would be a “big comer,"
And all of his dreams would come
true!
In summer, he waited for winter,

To put his “day-dreaming" across;
But time was a champion sprinter;
The days speeded by—tot'al loss!

His hair and his whiskers grew gray;
The years in his brain-cells made bur-
rows;
The sun shone—he never

Always, he would do 'it “tomorrow;”
The months and the years swiftly

Death came—but no more could he

“To the Caney River section?” The

“Yes. I remember that dad used to

“You-nae want a rig?” he matured.
“I got a buokhodrd-smrey and two
good mules here. Fi’ dollars a. day.

“Think we could find lodging for the

night somewhere near the mouth of

Caney River. 7” asked Crhin. '
"Shore,” was the prompt answer.
“George Graniss’ll keep ye” . '
“Bring the vehicle,” ordered slain.
In spite of— the rough and sometimes
dangerous laurel-lined and snowy

mountain road, they ‘arrived at the ~

mouth of the dashing turbulent Ganey
before nightfall. The two-story board-
ing house at Jim Mayland’s old camp
was still standing intact; it was being
occupied by mountaineer George Gran-
iss and his family. Graniss, angular
and bearded, smoking a cob pipe, came
out to meet them with four thin
hounds at his heels. '

“I’m A. 0. Grain,” said Angelina’s
uncle, stepping from the vehicle.
“These are Mr. Finley Morton and
Miss Angelina Mayland. We’ re up
here—er, looking around, and we’d
like to make your place our head
quarters for the time being. Can you
fix us up?”

“Shore,” the uncouth hillman drawi-
ed. "‘Absotively. We ain’t got nothin'
much, but you’ll be welcome to what
they is. Mayland, did you say? What
Mayland is that? Any kin to old
Fightin’ Jim?”

“Daughter,” answered Grain.

George Graniss let his .cob pipe fall
to the snow. .

“Fightin’ Jim’s datter?“ Oh, Lord!
Honey, git out 0’ that buggy and come
in the house to the fire! Ain’t you
mighty nigh froze? Fightin’ Jim May-
land was the best man that ever slap-
god the face 0’ the earth wi’ a boot-
solel Did I know him? Shore, I know-
ed him I worked fo’ him. 1—”

He broke off, snatched up-his pipe,-
and turned toward a poorly-garbed
woman who had just come to the front
dom of the 'old camp boardinghouse;
four ragged children clung to her
skirts like so many flies.

“Sary,” he bellowed, “put the big
pot a-b’ilin’ and the cawfy to makin’,
and cut a ham, and open up them ras
berry p’esarves’. Afore God, here’s

old Fightin’ Jim Mayland’s gyrul, done ’

come to see us!”

Graniss himself ’helped Angelina.

\from the vehicle, himself escorted her

into the big old house. Soon they were
all gathered—except the driver, who.
was caring for his mules—in a half-
circle around a brightly-burning fire
of logs. (Continued next week).

Christianity. Not simply a good and
great man, not merely a teacher,
prophet, reformer, but he was God.
When one prays to Christ he prays to
God. Bushnell in his famous ‘ little
book, “The Character of Christ,” says
that His qualities forbid His possible
classification with men. The gospels
show the marks of having come from '
eyewitnesses. No one could possibly
fabricate such a. picture'of Christ as
we have in the New Testament. If
you throw. out all the miracles, his
words remain, and they alone would
classify Him‘ as other than human.
Then take his sinlessness. “He was
the one sinless man in all history,”
says Phillips Brooks, “and that alone
would make Him the most saving fact
that the world ever saw.” Add to that
what took place on Calvary, and to
that the experience of the millions
~- with Him as Lord and Savior ever
since, and all in all He is placed in a
place by Himself. Unto Him every
knee shall bow, said Paul. Said By-
ron, “If ever God was man or man
was God, Jesus Christ was both.” And
I love the words of the German, Paul
Friedrich Richter: “The crucified
Jew, being the lowliest among the
mighty, and the mightiest among the
lowly, having with his pierced hands
lifted the gates of empires off their
hinges and turned the current of his-
tory into a new channel, still governs
the ages.” -

Christ was pleased with what Peter
said, replying that upon this fact He

NewYork Central Lines carry one-tenth of the corn-x
mice of the country. Upon their efficient perform-

ance through the winter depend the comfort and wel-
fare of millions of people. ,

Food, fuel and other necessities—the raw materials
of industry-must be kept moving hour after hour
in all kinds of weather to prevent the slowing up of
industry and human suffering. Reserves would
quickly vanish if the railroads failed.

- ' New York Central Lines have made ready for the
' winter. Reserves of cars and locomotives, standing
idle all summer, are now being called upon to move
the crops, fuel supplies and raw materials. Box cars
for grain, open cars for coal, special refrigerator cars
for perishable products—a quarter of a million cars
bearing the familiar mark of the New York Central
Lines—are moving over the country. Road beds, brid-
ges, signals-all are ready for the demands of winter.

And 175,000 men of the New York Central family, on 12,000

prophets, Jesus Christ ‘himself being

the chief cornerstone.”
THE gates of hell were not to pre-
vail against the church, said
Christ. The famous American preach-
er, T. DeWitt Talmage, said that one
gate of hell was impure literature,
another was the dissolute dance, an-
other indiscreet apparel, and another
gate was alcoholic beverages. Other'
hell-gates have. become conspicuous of
late years.

To confess Christ is one of the de-
lights of the Christian. He who does
so will receive. inspiration, help and
strength for life’s journey. There is
something about it that nothing else
can touch. As has been well said, it
assists a man in knowing his own
mind if he tells what he knows to
someone else. It is of vast conse-
quence what a man believes, and all
the more if he be sincere in his
creed." It does matter what a man
believes. No doubt of it. The philos-
ophy taught in the class-room becomes
the rough and ready practice of the
street, and the belief held in a man’s
inmost heart comes out in his actions.

HEN it comes to buying grocer-

.- ies, we Americans are a great

“small pack-age” people. The majority

most of our buying in small packages.
When the farm-wife goes to town to

, do her weekly purchasing, she orders

a small package'of this and a; small
package of that, and ’does not realize
how. remarkably fast the purchasing
price of these small packages count up.

Rice, oatmeal, pearl barley and oth-
er cereals may be bought in bulk 82nd
if a little care is taken in purchasing,
you can get just as good a product as
though you had paid a much higher
price for the small packages. The
paper" sacks are not so handy as the
little boxes, but if coffee, tea and-spice
cans of variousisorts are saved, they
make ideal receptacles for the cereals.
Syrup cans and buckets, and fruit jars
are also suitable.

With so many “minute” or “instant”
breakfast foods on the market now,
the Cooked cereals are apt 'to be

ups, there is no breakfast more whole
some or nourishing than a well pre—
pared dish of breakfast food, cooked
in a double boiler

Nearly anyone will tire of the same
cereals, cooked every morning, 365.
days in the year. “Variety is the spice

a variety than it does to have oat-
meal for breakfast every morning, and
perhaps, that poorly or indifferently
cooked, for the same food becomes
monotonous to even the cook herself,
and she is apt not to take the interest
and care in cooking it that she does in
preparing something different.

Just because a. dish or bowl of cer-
eal is left over from breakfast is no
reason'it should be wasted. Any White
cereal may housed in light bread if
it is carefully worked and kneaded so
_as not to‘ leave lumps'in the finished
loaf. Rice may be used in a delicious
custard pudding. The custard is made
just as usual, except that it will not
require so many eggs, and the ride is
added. Nutmeg makes a fine flavoring
for this, and you may add the de-
liciousness of the dish by using a. cup-
ful of seeded laisins.

Any sort of left-ovel cereal may be
used in soup or stews. Or they may
be used in croquettes, hash and meat
loaves.

. As a child, my favorite dessert was
one made with cream of wheat, and I
never tired of it. The cereal was cook-
ed in the usual way and when done,
and still hot, was placed-in jelly molds
with alternate layers of cranberry
jam The cereal was put in the bot—
tom of the mold in a thin layer. Then ‘
a. layer of the jam was added and an-
other thin layer of cereal, and so on
until the'mold was filled. It was then
set in a. cold place, and after it was
thoroughly chilled was served with
sweet cream.

' ' A YARN ECONOMY.

 

WITH the present sensible vogue

for knitted wear, it frequently
happens that something has to be rav-
elled and re—knit. Possibly new yarn
will have to be added to complete the
garment -

After several experiences in which
the usual procedure was followed of
winding the ravelled yarn tightly in
a ball to get the kinks out of it, dis—
satisfaction grew because of the ob-
vious difference between the knitting
made of the new and the old. Then
an experiment was tried and proved
so successful that it seems worth-
while to pass what was learned. along.

'The ‘ravelled yarn ,was wound into
skeins (not too large) rather than
balls.’ The skeins were tied at either
end with. a‘small piece of clean, white
cord.' This was to prevent tangling.
A quite warm soapy water prepared
with soft water and a bland white soap
was used, and the skeins washed in
this and Well rinsed in water of the
same temperature.

just as the sun was getting up,

But it was none too early for the little
boy, for he hadn’t slept very well that

do. How could he let Rolly Rabbit
know he was homesick and tell him
he wanted to go home? The little boy
didn’t want to go into the Big Woods
alone. He thought Rolly Rabbit or
Bruin might know the way to the
broad open fields if he could only tell
them where he wanted to go. Rolly
Rabbit and Bruin, he thought, must
know all the roads and paths in the

Big Woods, for they had always lived'
there.

A big splashy tear rolled down his
cheek. Another and then another
came chasing them. Before he could
get them brushed away, Rolly Rabbit
was standing beside him. Rolly grunt-
ed, danced around him and made many
motions, but the little boy could not
understand him. He just couldn’t?
keep the tears back as he pointed off,
toward the path through the woods.
The little boy meant by this that he
wanted to go home, and Rolly Rabbit
understood. .

Rolly Rabbit didn’t know where the
little boy lived, but he did know the
way out of the woods. So off they
started. Rally hippity-hopped very fast
through the briers and brambles of the
woods. The little boy hurried along
behind as fast as he could. Here and,

made their way, until at last they

first thing in the morning. I don’t see
why any of the boys should be against
it, as we would have a fit if we had
to have long hair.

 

By Rex Ellis, M. C., Richland,.Mich.

I, for one, cannot see any value that
comes from discussing bobbed hair.
First, I do not believe andbody has
gained by it, and a great many have
lost to my knowledge. It is a very san-
itary custom' tha‘ was originally worn
Centuries ago.

Though I may not exactly like the
fad, I cannot honestly say a thing
against it.

A great many girls, and even grown—
ups have improved their appearance
fifty per cent by bobbing their hair.
While a few would have looked much
better as they were.

Many have gained friends by doing
80, mainly because it added to their
charm. While others have made ene-
mies by scornful retorts that would
have been much better unsaid.

Last, but not least, don’t you think
the least discussion the better, as
nothing can help the subject.

 

By Zena L. Amos, M. 0., Owoseo,
' Michigan.

None! Not a bit of value can a per-
son find in discussing bobbed hair.
Women and girls will have. their hair
bobbed so what’s the use'of talking
about it all the time? ‘ .
Many times when we go away to
spend the day, the women sit around
and talk mostlyon bobbed hair. But,
a ladyl’who. hasn’t her hair bobbed,

in it. If they want to have their. hair
bobbed, all right, but there is some-
thing more pleaSant to talk about, and
all the people will enjoy it better than
sticking to the subject of bobbed hair.

Every Saturday night we go to
Owo‘sso. Wermeet many of our friends;
some with bobbed hair and others
with long hair. A woman who has her
hair bobbed exclaims to her bobbed
haired friend, “Why, how do you like
your hair bobbed, and you also have
it shingled,” (or if a friend hasn’t hers

It’s .right to say something about .

are things of more value that could be ’

everyone. Talking on bobbed hair is

Dear Uncle Frank: .

Am I not welcome to your club? I
have written three or four different
times, but haven’t seen one letter
printed.

I have blue eyes and dark brown
bobbed hair, and I also ,wear knickers
(sometimes). I love to go horseback
riding. It certainly is great fun; is it
not, girls? I am also another book
lover.

Well, I think I shall close now. Love
to all. Best regards to Mr. Waste
,Basket. From another want-tobe-
niece, Eleanor E. Hacker, Marine City,
Michigan.

So many writers describing them-
selves and asking others to write to
them. The Letter Box is not for that
purpose, but for the discussion of gen-‘
eral subjects. If one wishes a. cor-
respondent, he should take part in the
scrambles. Perhaps your letters did
not discuss anything. You certainly
are welcome in the club.

 

Dear Uncle Frank: ‘

May I hop in and join the M. C? I
sure do like the boys’ and girls’ page.

I am a girl of seventeen years of
age, and just came from Detroit back
home to the farm to spend my vaca—
tion. I have worked in Detroit and
sure did enjoy my life there for a
change.

We have an awful wild horse by the
name of Beauty. She sure is a beauty
and is just wild for running. One day
I took her out for a ride without a
saddle. As we were riding through
the woods, a black cat crossed our
path and I thought we would have bad
luck. We went on a. little further, and
then, all at once, I heard some noise.
I looked around and saw a bunch of
horses coming. They came 'near my
Beauty and started biting and kicking.
I could do nothing but bend down and
hold on to the bridle. I’ll tell the

world I was afraid. But just the same .

I like to go out horseback riding.

Well, when I was in Detroit, I heard
you were twenty-three years old. Is
it true? When is your birthday?

Well, I guess I have to close now
and give someone else a chance. Send
my best love and regards to all M; C.
members, and you, Uncle F.——Your
niece, Viola Golombeski, R. 1, B01156,
Omer, Mich.

Judging from some of the letters I
get, girls are as good horseback riders
as the boys. I would have to get used
to it now before I’d enjoy it. You have
my age wrong and my birthday is past.
Sure you can hop in and have a. good
time.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

I suppose you think I have been a
dead member. I know I have, but
school has taken most of my time.
But now I have caught up a little. I
have been reading the Boys’ and Girls’
Page, though, so have been following
the discussmns. »

All I can say is what some have said 2

already: Let’s get away from'the bob-
bed» hair question and talk sense. I
have not bobbed .hair, and What is
more, don’t want it bobbed, now. Some :
time I will write a better.letter and;-

niece, Laura Bowers,
Mich. ,

I am glad you have been following -
up the discussions, even though you ‘

are busy. I’ll make use of your sug-
gestion regarding school discussions.
Thanks. ‘

 

Dear Uncle Frank: ’

I would rather drop the bobbed hair
discussion and talk about riding horse-
back, or some adventure we have had,
as Muriel Fry said, .

One of my girl friends came along
one day on horseback and wantedme‘
to go with her to Wexford, five miles~
away, to shoe her horse. I went. We
were galloping along, with my horse
ahead, when suddenly, when I was not
looking for it, my horse up and threw
me. It cut a gash in my head, which
left a scar, but people don’t notice it
because my hair is awfully thick and
covers it up. .

One .week ago I ran a race on horse-
back. He beat me the first time be-
cause I could not make my horse run. :
The second time I beat him. I would
have won the third if I had not lost
my balance and steered my horse way
off the road, but I was even anyway
when we got to the end of our racing,
and he did not beat me.

Say, Uncle Frank, I bet I did some—

about five or six years old, my sister I

and I used _to climb everywhere. This

time we were building our house and.
didn’t have any more than the frame
work and the walls built, and part of
the upstairs floor in, when I climbed

up the stairs with my mouth full of ,3;

water. I put it all over our carpenter, ~
a jolly man always fooling with me. I
Jumped back and meant to scare him,‘
but, heavens. I jumped the wrong di-
rection and went

going away down into the furnace.

.Well, I’ll stop or Mr. 'Waste Basket
W111 choke on this.~——Your loving niece,
Fern Michel, Buckley, Mich.

Your experiences are interesting. I
think Such experiences are a welcome
change from the bobbed hair discus-
sions. Let’s have some more. ‘

PUTTING AN EASY END TO LIFE.

 

MICHIGAN woman writes that
A her father, sxty-two years old, is

hopelessly ill. He has been giv-
en up by all the doctors. The prayers
of his minister avail nothing. He is in
coustant distress and she and all of
the family are worn to mere shadows
taking care of him. Is it not right to
bring about an end? Vl’hy not?

I leave the legal side of this problem
alone. I admit that there are very
many cases of long-continued suffering
that end only in death. A patient of
mine yesterday closed his 'eyes in,
death, at eighty-eight years of age,
after lying for six weeks in a condi-
tion in which he knew no one, was
,conscious of nothing and was a burden
to every member of his family. I could
have given him a drug six weeks ago
that would have saved his family
many sleepless nights and several hun—
dred dollars of expense, and appar-
ently have lost nothing to him or the

~ world. Why not?

Human, life is sacred. That old man’s
life ended yesterday, not six weeks
ago. Is it for me to say that because
he lay through those six weeks, help—
less in mind and body as a little babe,
there was no purpose served thereby?

A few years ago a woman who had
been given up to die, yet lived on in
agonies of pain, wrote in her despera-
tion to the newspapers clamoring that
laws should be passed allowing eu—
thanasia (easy death) to those afflict—
ed as she was. Her lettercame to the
attention of a specialist who thought
he recognized in her symptoms a con-
dition' no absolutely hopeless. He
wrote to‘ her, and under his care she
went through a surgical operation

‘which gave her complete recovery

Then she wrote again to the newspa-
pers, confeszzing how g1 eatly mistaken
had been her outcry.

HAIR FALLING OUT.

 

I have been ill for a time and am
now betteI, but am losing my hair
fast. Am a young man, only twenty-
seven. “hat can I do? X .

If this is a sequel to a wasting ill-
ness such as typhoid fever or influenza
you need have no fear. The hair will
come in again as you recover strength.
But if‘it is falling out because of poor
vigor of the scalp, especially if a fam-
ily tendency, you must do everything
possible to increase its vigor. Mas-
sage of the scalp is one of the best
methods. This may be done by Vig-
orous brushing or by massaging and
loosening the scalp with the finger
tips. A little cocoa butter may be ap-
plied to facilitate the rubbing and
kneading, but the main thing is to
make sure that there is sufficient mas~
sage to stimulate the circulation of the
scalp.

GETTING RID OF DANDRUFF.

 

I am troubled a lot with dandruff
and would like plain, simple directions
for getting rid of it.——B. F‘.

Practice massage of the scalp twice
daily; not memerly rubbing the skin
surface, but lifting the scalp tissues
with the finger-tips and making active
massage. Brush the hair vigorously,
yet not so as to wound or irritate the
scalp. Once a week use a shampoo
of equal parts of glycerin, alcohol, and
liquid green soap. .After using it,

DISINFECTANT lN WATER.

 

Is there any danger in giving disin~
fectant in drinking water to chicks
that are being fed sour milk every
day?——-Mrs. S S.

A large number of poultrymen do
use the commercial disinfectants in
the drinking water given to chicks,
and also keep sour milk or buttermilk
before them at all times. This has
never caused any losses as far as I
can learn. I believe that the solutions
advertised to prevent white dairrhea,
when placed in the drinking fountains
are largely mild disinfectants which
do not harm the digestive system of
the chicks.

POULTRY QU ESTIONS.

 

This morning I found a hen dead
in front of the roost; comb was bright
red, looked the picture of health, fat
and laying well, as indicated by White
legs, etc. On performing a. postmor-
tem find full crop containing good
wheat and oyster shells. Abdomen fat,
containing eggs in different stages of
development. But the liver was again
as large as it should be, and I could
not remove it whole, and just to touch
it with the tip of the finger would put
a hole in it. Can you tell me what,
this disease is, the cause, and cure,
or prevention? Would it be safe to
breed from a rooster that has had the
roup? Do you consider it contagious
or hereditary ?——~Mrs. J. F. H.

The soft enlarged liver is a condi-
tion frequently found in old hens that
are very fat. The sudden loss of such
a. hen when it appeared healthy is us-
ually due to 'apoplexy or to an internal
rupture due to the strain of laying.

Such losses might occasionalljr’occur
in well-managed flocks, but can usu-

exercise. Culling out the‘old hens
that are heavy with fat is a. help in
preventing such losses.

'RUPTURED OVIDUOT.

 

' Please tell me what ails my hens.

At first they seem to be. lame, and a
few days later they get so they walk
like a. duck, with their tails touching
the ground. Their. combs are red and
they eat well. All of them have bowel
~trouble-«W. D.

The condition is often due to a rup-
ture of the oviduct. Sometimes the
hen walks in a. manner fr’eduently de-
scribed as penquin-fashiOn. The tail
and abdomen are on’ the , ground.
There is no cure for such cases and
the birds have to be killed. A post-
mortem examination will prove if the
trouble is ruptured oviduct, and also
locate any other condition that may
have helped cause the trouble. Some-

times hens are egg-bound and recover -

naturally, while in other cases it is
necessary to remove the egg. When

hens become lame without other symp— .

toms it may be only rheumatism and
sometimes it is tuberculosis, especially
if accompanied by rapid emaciation.

 

HENS WITH sons LEGS.

 

5‘9 My chickens have a. disease between ' '

their toes. It becomes badly swollen,
it works up the leg into their body.
They are very lame and are so for
about a week, then die. We take the
Michigan Farmer and I have been
watching for this disease, but, have
seen nothing exactly like it. Do you
know any cure for this disease?

The sore toes and legs may be, due
to the mite which burrows beneath
the scales and causes scaly leg or foot
mange. This condition can be cured
by washing the legs with warm soapy
water to remove as much of the scaly
accumulation as possible, and then
rubbing the legs with kerosene oil to
kill the mites.

The lameness might be due to rheu-I
matism. If the birds are lame and
lose rapidly in weight there is a sus—
picion of tuberculosis; It will pay to
perform a. postmortem on birds that

die, and note the,corndition of the in- _

ternal organs,'especia.lly the liver. If
there are greyish nodules on the liver
it is apt to be tuberculosis.

ers that can’t walk very good. They
pick up their feet and walk as if the
ground was soft, and they always .flap
their wings. They are

Sensation

feed is comparable to that of good
corn silage, ton for ton.
It is reported that sunburned pota-
toes, and especially sprouted potatoes,
contain solain, a poisonous compound.
Where only a few sunburned a1e pres-
ent, this probably would never cause
any injury. If fed in large amounts,
it might produce milk and butter of
poor flavor.
Cows require some green or succu-
lent food. Potatoes fed in moderate
quantities, such as referred to above,
furnish this food and act as a laxa-
tive, keeping the cow’s digestive tract
in a. good, healthy condition. Large
quantities of potatoes, however, may
cause scouring. Potatoes should be
run through a root cutter or chopped
well before being fed

WHEAT

As if to give the lie to the long-
standing rumor that grain prices were
being advanced by artificial means
and that it would be good policy to
sell before election day, these mar-
kets turned sharply upward .as soon
as the result of the balloting was
known. Most of the decline in wheat
and rye in the preceding month was
recovered in four days. The upturn
has gone far enough to make clear
that it is a resumption of the bull
movement rather than merely a'rally
in a bear market. Cash markets have
strengthened under broader demand
from both mills and exporters and
buying started again on a large scale.

Primary receipts dropped off sharp-
ly in the last week and further shrink-
age in arrivals is expected as soon as
interior elevators have finished mov-
ing out their holdings. The movement
from farms is no longer burdensome.

Shipments for export have. been
heavy and flour mills arergrinding at
above the normal rate. Based on pri-
mary receipts and changes in the Vis—
ible supply the disappearance of
wheat this year has been 100,000,000
bushels greater than last year.

RYE

Rye prices passed through a more
drastic decline than any other gram
but have had an equally Vigorous re-
covery, gaining 18 cents in four days,
against a loss of 21 cents during the
preceding month. The statistical Sit-
uation in rye remains unprecedented.
For all practical purposes, the United
States has the only exportable surplus
and its remaining supply is not over
5 25 to 35 per cent of the world’s esti-
mated needs for the remainder of the

' CORN

The corn market has been listless
‘ compared with the action in bread
grains. Cash prices have strengthened
slightly at the moment under broader
demand from" industries and shippers.
Receipts at primary markets have fall-
en off again. The visible supply is
about ten times as large as a year'ago,
so that there is no pronounced ten-
sion between supply and demand in

. -' commercial channels. -

  

The sharp ...decline in
during the last few weeks
in materially. broader..,demand. Ship-
ments from primary markets have in-
creased from 60 ‘to75 per cent and as
receipts have diminished at the same
time; underlying conditions are grad-
ually improving. The heavy stock; at
terminals. which are- of near—record
size, are still'exerc’ising a rather de-

pressing effect and will prevent . any .

runaway behavior in prices. -

SEEDS

The movement of red clover seed
still lags behind that-of last year. Up
to October 27,- approximately 25 per
cent of the red clover seed and 55 per
cent of the alsike clover had left the
growers’ hands. The slow movement
is due to the small crop and the fact
that growers anticipate still higher
prices. . Average prices offered to‘ pro-
ducers averaged $24.75 per 100 pounds,
basis clean seed, compared with $20.80
last year and $16.20 two years ago.
The movement of alsike clover seed to
date is about as heavy as that of last

year. 5

Feed markets are dull with but little
change in quotations. Wheat feeds
are not being offered freely from the
northwest but southwestern mills are
pushing their output and Buffalo and
Canadian offerings are depressing the
eastern markets. Numerous distress
shipments from interior mills are in
evidence. Mild weather is still re-
stricting the demand from both mix-
ers and feeders.

HAY

An easy tone still prevails in the
hay markets as mild weather is caus-
ing a slack demand for all kinds. Low-
grade hay is not wanted even at big
discounts. Stormy weather may de-
velop at any time and increase the
demand while curtailing country lead-

in s.
grouurnv AND secs

Egg prices were marked lower from
the peak reached last week in re-
sponse to a quiet demand. Recent
high prices have cut into the con-
sumptive demand which more than off-
set the shrinking receipts as a price-
determining factor. Current receipts

BUTTER

Dairy products have strengthened
further during the past week. Prices
on top scores have firmly held their
recent improved position. Production
is showing the usual seasonal decrease
and some further reduction in receipts
is expected during the next few weeks.
The slightly smaller arrivals of fancy
fresh butter and the higher prices for
it made possible a larger movement of.
storage stocks. This reduction in stor-
age butter is one of the most favor-

POTATOES

Carlot shipments of potatoes from
producing districts have declined near-
ly one-third in the last few days; but
arrivals at distributing centers are
still heavy and prices have shown but,
little ability to rise above the levels
recently preVailing. -The size of the
crop holds no hint of scarcity but
some improvement in the market is
to be expected as the price level is
extremely low even for the heavy
crop-moving season. Northern round-
whites, U. S. No. 1, and partly graded,
are quoted at 70@90c per 100 pounds
in the Chicago carlot market. Sacked
Idaho Rurals are bringing $1.60@1.75.

' To get the right propdrtlon One
must take into consideration the con-
dition-of the birds as to wespher (win-
ter of summer temperature), methods
of housing- extent of liberty,
._whether the birds are expected to pro-
vduce eggs or merely put on fat and
flesh. ,

A good cheap diet used for layers,
that are at liberty. is composed of
equal parts by weight of potatoes and
The potatoes should be boiled
and the bran mashed into them while
hot. When mixed, this ration should
be fed warm. If the weather is cold,
some linseed- oil or fat should be
added. '

" For confined layers, the proportion
of the potatoes should be reduced.
Malt culms or sprouts are very good
in combination with potatoes. Corn
meal. barley meal, or rice meal should
not be fed in combination with pota-
toes, for they lack protein matter:

f For fatteningpouitry, large quanti-

geese and turkeys fatten well on a
mixture of potatoes and middlings.

An eggdaying mash may consist of
the following, in the relative propor-
tions given: Ten pounds of meat
Scrap, ten pounds of middlings, ten
pounds of ground oats, twenty pounds
of bran, and thirty pounds of cooked
potatoes.

In years of overproduction of pota-

toes, part of the loss suifered by grow; .b

can be prevented by feeding the sur-
plus, in well balanced rations to live
