TEMPORARY SECRETARY AP- POINTED. HE President has appointed Acting Secretary of Agriculture Howard M. Gore to succeed the late Henry C. Wallace in his cabinet. Secretary Gore will serve until next March 4. ' when he becomes governor of West Virginia. It is evident by the tempor~ - ary appointment of Mr. Gore, that the President has decided to take his own time to survey the field of recommend- ed, candidates from which to select a secretary of agriculture when the per— manent appointment is made March 4. Louis J. Taber, of Ohio, master of the National Grange; William M. Jar- College, and C. \l'. Pugsley, president of South Dakota Agricultural College, are leading the field at present. NO SPECIAL SESSION IF UN- NECESSARY. / ENATOR CAPPER does not think that the situation will necessitate the calling of a special session after March 4. “I think,” he says, “that much beneficial legislation has already been enacted, but in spite of this leg- islation the farm situation is one of the greatest problems that we“, have in this country. If the President’s com- mission is successl‘ul in helping the situation, it, will have accomplished much, and no one realizes more than ' I do the importance of the work that we are now undertaking.” FOOD FAMINE PREDICTED. RAY SILVER, legislative counsel- lor of the American Farm Bu- reau Federation, has joined the school of prophets who .are predicting that we are facing a food famine in this country unless we largely increase our production. In an address before'the Mississippi Valley Association he fig- ured people in this country in another twenty years. To feed this larger pop- ulation the present production of the farms must be increased twenty-five per cent per acre, as well as on 150,- 000,000 acres of additional land. Such an increase, he thinks, would ,swamp all our present transportation routes, therefore the country should plan for greatly enlarging its transportation facilities, especially its waterways. interests on national economic -‘ _. questions has been put * President by the United States Cham- Lake, Me— . dine, president 01’ Kansas Agricultural. that we shall have 150,000,000.

These You'ng Females Are Making Good Gilts on Pasture with Corn, Oats, Tankage and Salt. Scpt1c Tanks fer Michigan A Real [Veer/for Sanitary Metfloa’ of Sewage Disposal 072 Farmr By Frank A. Meckcl the Michigan Agricultural College has designed a tank which is commonly called the Michigan tank and which is particularly adapted to use in this state. It is the outgrowth of investi- gations and studies of nearly 100 dif— ferent kinds of septic tanks extending over’a period of eight years. _ The Michigan tank consists of four distinct members. The first is the set- tling chamber in which the solid sew- ageis converted into liquid form. The second is the siphon, or dosing cham- ber for the accumulation of sewage from the settling chamber in quanti- ties large enough to insure effective distribution through the aerating tile system." The third member is the au- tomatic siphon which intermittently empties this dosing chamber into the tile system, and the fourth is the aerating sYstem of drain tile which distributes the liquid sewage through a large area of porous soil. It is estimated that the per capita consumption of water in the average farm homes is approximately thirty .. gallons a day, so that The settling c mher is designed to re she? be- d. ,. i thick scum forms on the surface and as it breaks dOWn, a blue-gray mud or sludge settles to the bottom of the tank. This collects very- slowly and must be cleaned out at intervals. Or- dinarily a tank does not require clean- ing more often than once every year or two, depending upon the amount of sewage which has passed through it. The dosing chamber is designed to receive from the settling chamber just about the same amount of sewage that enters that chamber in a day. As fresh sewage enters the settling chamber, the liquefied sewage of like amount runs over into the dosing chamber and when the water level in this second chamber reaches a certain height, the automatic syphqn,empties the dosing chamber entirely and the water runs out through the tiling system and is absorbed by the surrounding soil. The siphon operates entirely auto matically. Water is always held in the trap, or U-shaped portion below the tank. As the water rises in the dosing chamber, the air in the bell of the siphon is compressed which moves the water in the trap toward the out- let. As soon as the pressure becomes great enough to force the ' water it around the hend in the trap. the com- QUALITY RELIABILITY ~ SERVICE} NUMBER TWENTY-THREE A pound of salt saved as much as 213 pounds of feed in fattening fall pigs. It not only saved 213 pounds of feed but it also saved labor and time; it reduced the days of risk; it made healthier and more contented, hogs.- This pound of salt also saved forty- seven days in the development of the. pigs. Mineral Feeds Save in Feeding Cattle. All lots which had mineral mixtures added to the rations, made more rapid gains, and consequently m'ore econom- ical gains, than the groups not receiv- ing minerals. In these experiments the amount of feed eaten was mate- rially and noticeably reduced when . the lots Were fed mineral mixtures. And mineral mixtures do not cost a lot of money, in spite of a prevailing opinion to the contrary. This experi- ment shows that the cost of the min- erals for the hundred pounds of gain are relatively insignificant; at six cents a pound for the minerals,'the cost per hundred weight would not ex- ceed twelve cents, or would run less than three per' cent of the total feed‘ cost. In dry lot feeding, as in the case of feeding with blue grass pasture, min— eral mixtures pay for themselves many times in rapid and economical gains. While feeding salt'alone pays extra good dividends as compared with ra- tions in which no salt has been fed, a. 'complex mineral mixture will make even a better combination either on blue grass or in the dry feed lot. The (Continued on page 513). eel pressed air is released through the drain and the water follows through until it reaches the level of the bot~ tom of the bell, when air again gets into the pipe and the siphon action steps until the next time the tank fills. An auxiliary safety outlet should al- ways be provided in, the dosing cham- ber several inches above the normal high water mark so that the sewage can run out, even. though the siphon becomes clogged. The siphon can be made with cast iron pipe or small sewer tile and a common crock for a bell. It may also be purchased from most plumbing supply houses already made up. There is less chance of go- ing wrong on one of these read—made siphons than there is on a home-made one, and they do not cost much either. The extension department of the college is holding septic tank demon- trations in many parts of. the state, and county agricultural agents can very easily arrange for such demon- strations \in their counties. It would be an excellent plan for every com- munity in a. county to have such a: demonstration and for farm folks who are planning on installing tanksto at- ‘ tend theSe meetings and see a spetic ‘ tank built and a siphon installed. Farm , sanitation is just as important as (:1 " sanitation. A septic tank will provid sanitation on the farm. :- Editors and Proprietors . mm m 2 a“. “I ‘ mm canny in m? no K W now. m 8!. cuichco omen so: So. Durban: 8%. D OFFIGE 1011-1013 Oregon: N. I I .

This is a. wrong idea. The revenue department of the government will not have access to the individual 'sched» ules. Every employe of the census bureau from the clerks in the bureau to the field men are under oath not to divulge any information obtained on the individual schedules under pen- alty of a one thousand dollar fine, or imprisonment not to exceed two years. Further, no data for areas smallerthan a county will be published in the re- ports put out by the government. Congress based its call for an agri- cultural census at this time 011 perfect— ly sound premises. Such rapid and far-reaching‘ movements have taken place in the nation’s farming industry, and the last census coming so closely upon the heels of the war, that it is highly important now to have more reliable data by which our farm folks and agricultural leaders may direct with greater intelligence the agencies dealing with this, the greatest of our nation’s industries. - T is said that one of the seven great T U be; objectives in educa- ‘f 0 tion .is the training in Leisure “ a worthy use of leis- ure This is becom- ing an objective of greater importance as the trend of the age is toward great- er leisure. Modern machineiy is en- abling one to do his tasks quicker than in the days of crude methods Thus, the working day is shelter f01 the working man, and even for the farm- et, we believe \ But regardless of whether it is 01 not, there is a period of farm leisure , ~ which we are now approaching.

It is the time when con— structive activity can be greatly re- ', placed by thought. The use of this time is What should leceive considera- j , tion.

It established “7'" - a. new way of finding Board the value of cows by the organization of. the first cow testing aSsociatlon in the country. This move has already es‘ tablished ‘its'value. It also was one of the first to employ a; county agent. Now, it is handling the county farm agent proposition in a new way. And from all indications it looks as if it Would make this “new- way go." In fact, p1 esent-day good judgment would lead one to believe that the new ven- ture may rival the success of the first one. The plan consists of the establish~ ment of a county'board of agriculture which will direct all of the public ag- ricultural work of the county. The board will be~made up of representa-' tives of the various rural organizations in the county, and besides, will have a man to represent the chambers of commerce in the county and another to represent the board of supervisors. There is no reason why a county as a political unit can not manage its ag- ricultural affairs through a board as well as the state can. Furthermore, this new arrangement gives repre- sentation to all the factors which are interested in agricultural prosperity of the county. And in giving suchrepre- sentation, it will get'the cooperation from all these factors. in accord with many of our agricuh tural leaders, we bespeak the we cess of this democratic and efficient method of managing acounty’s public rural affairs. We feel sure that other counties will gain much by watching closely the pioneering that Newaygo is doing in this work, and byfollow- ing example in the many good features this plan will develop. T is told of a cow The in Ohio which was Broken on a test, with all hope of establishing a Leg new world's record. ~ As the test was near the end she slipped and broke her leg. In order to complete the test, she Was put in a sling, and came through with but a few pounds short of establishing a. record. ‘ ' That was apparently just a coinci- dence, that breaking of the leg. But when the cow was put on her feet ’again after the leg healed, the.other leg broke. She was butchered and a postmortem revealed that her bones were honeycombed. They lacked the lime to give them strength and stamina Her DWnel‘S had fed her to force every pound of milk and fat produc- tion possible. But,they forgot to in- clude in the ration enough mineral matter to replace the lime that the production of milk took out. The lime in her body was thus drawn upon with serious results. This is just an indication of the im- 'portance of diet. gators are finding. the relation of feeds and feeding to the normal and abnor- mal conditions of life. , Just the other day. the papers indicated that tubers; oulosia was} due to the look of-o‘exta‘m T Every day inves.ti-' _ Time is .m‘fim pronouncement in our lives, for it is what we do with bur time that determines w‘hit we got ,. her family ,at”heart, the study of diet is most impartant. And to as farmer, ' whommkindofhve stockto feed, the study of feeds end feeding“ is. vital matter in the sauce“ he has withw his stock. Even the man who grows “just was.” the study of plant feed- ing is a very important subject. ' So, it seems that an who live should .make this a subject of consideration and study. And all who have living. things under their domain have a double duty to themselves and the liv- _ ing things they control, to learn how to feed them right. Even from a selfish, dollarond-Oents standpoint a study of feeding will pay, for it will reSult in more profitable animals and a health- ier family with fewer doctor bills to pay. . ‘ Apparently, it would be better to break a leg in the search for facts on feeding essentials, than to break one through ignorance of them. . May we suggest that the study of feeding will make a very profitable and interesting winter 8 occupation.

The wisoaores have fallen far short of reproducing it artificiaIIY. In this wonder-work she seems to have gone so far into the endless realm of her creation when blending so delicately all the elements of this out- standing panacea for making strong and revitalizing the human body, that her st1 ength and skill could not com- pound another equally nutritious and health-restoring product. Fortunately, we find the leading races of men depending more and more upon this oldest of foods. But the maximum of its usefulness is still a long way off; audit will require more and more of education and pro- motion to attain’the fullest benefit. of nature’s seeming excess when she put milk into the mouths of men.

The space I gotta. fill can’t have nothin’ but inconsequem tul matter in it, so I’m glad that JSofio lived up to the specificashuns. ' Sofie showed me she could do some -thin’ I didn’t know she could do. So maybe from now on I’ll let her have her say when it is what veniunt for me ta. say anything. ' She sure did make a. strong de- fence for the Weak sex. But it seems ta me that the fact that man comes f1om the weak sex and gets as strong and mighty as he does after he gets away from apron strings, shows that he makes what you call a. ' consequentul accomplushmunt. Man grows from weak sources ta be master of all he surveys. But, the trouble is, most 0’ them don't never survey. I‘don’t know nothin’ about sure » veyini, so maybe I ain’t master of noth— in’. Sofie says I ain’t even master of myself. She musta surveyed me be- fore we were married, so I guess she thinks she‘ is master 0’ me now. She tries hard anyhow, and sometimes she, thinks she is suckseedin’, but I don’t. But I ain’t goin’ ta say nothin' about .this man and woman questshun no more. Men and womin is inconse- quentul anyhow. ' Sometimes‘lots 0’ us strut around like the world would stop if we wasn’t livin’, but the death 0’ the greatest of us don’t make no differunce. ‘We’re just little drops 0’ water in the ocean 0’ life what fulfills our purpose in life and then the sun draws us up ta nobody knows where. Life is everlastin’ but lives ain’t, so we must not think too consequent the ginconsequentul consequences of our lives. . - Inconsequentul things ain’t ever last— ' in’. So, tofkeep this inconsequentul discushun from bein' so, I guess I’ll ' have to say “Amen" now.

For Mobiloil “E” flows freely in the coldest weather. The moment you press on the starter the oil splashes up and begins to feed to every frictional surface—including the close-fitting bearings and clutch plates. So although the cold cylinders make it harder for the gasoline to vaporize, there is no additional difficulty imposed by congealed oil which may cause stiffness and drag between moving sur- faces. Mobiloil “E‘” lets [all the parts move freely—even on the coldest days. Results: A saving of the battery, a saving in gasoline, insurance of a perfect oil film over all surfaces, a. powerful and thoroughly protected engine. .Unsuitable lubricants frequently congeal at low temperatures and cause unnecessary stiffness and drag. This means added load for the battery, re- duced cranking speed, and much harder starting. Put Mobiloil “E” into your Ford crankcase and notice the difference.

Have just purchased some dairy Protein, sixteen per cent; fat, four per cent; , fiber, twelve per cent; carbohydrates, sixty per cent; nitrogen free extract, forty-e’ightper cent. How much more . valuable is this than wheat middlings for feeding, or would middlings, which L are protein. fifteen per cent; fat, four per cent; fiber, nine per cent, and car- ‘ bohydrates, 55.8 per cent, be about the < same in feeding value? The dairy ra- tion costs $2.25 and middlings $2.20 per cwt. What would be the proper 1 amount of silage to begin with for ’ cows 'ic‘lfat have never been fed silage?’ - ———D. Wheat middlings would be even a. better feed so far as f00d value is con- cerned than the dairy feed mentioned, because it has less crude fiber, the in» digestible part, and it has a food («in alysis almost equally its good. But wheat middlings are not wholly satisfacotry when fed alone because of their being sticky when moistened by the saliva. They will stick to the lips of the cows and also to the manger, causing some inconvenience in feed- ing. If they are mixed with bran or with corn meal, or in fact almost any other feed; this annoyance can be ov- ercome also it‘ they are scattered on the ensilage they will cause no trouble. At the prices quoted middlings would seem to be the more economical feed to buy. , Start with four or five pounds of silagepa scoop shovel full, and if you have any trouble in getting any of the cows to eat it sprinkle their grain on it. In fact, the proper place to feed all grain is on the silage. The amount of silage can be quite rapidly increas- ed in a day or two to as much as twenty-five or thirty pounds per day and then to all the cow will eat if you desire. WHITE WHEAT vs. RED WHEAT BRAN. How does the food value of bran and middlings made of white wheat com- pare with that made of red wheat? Some time ago I read an article which said the white wheat bran was lacking in vitamines necessary for growth of animals. FV‘Vhat do you know about So far as the writer knows, no feed- ing experiments have ever been made that would warrant us in saying that the bran or middlings from red wheat . contain vitamines that are absent in» White wheat which would make the red wheat byproducts more valuable : ".1;th the white All we- can say is, we}- , don t know.

Now the owner is building a house on the farm and wants to run it himself. He is going to live in the new house, and wants me to give up the place. Has he a. right to come on the place, build a. house and live on the place while I have the place rented, or dan I keep him off until the five years are up?— Reader. If the farm is being rented for men- ey rent I would presume that the les- see would have exclusive right of pos- session during the term, there being a sufficient description of the premises leased.

At: first glance; this seems rather inex~i plicable. One would suppose that, since milk is enclosed in tubes and, therefore, protected from all eitternal ~ that and dirt. This was confidently expect- ed in the early days when milking ma—“ chines were first thought of, and the high count milk obtained was a dis- tinct disappointment to the early in- i venture. . The reason for the high counts is not fan to seek. The trouble in part lies in the complicated mechanism necessary and in part in the necessity Rubber, as is which is inevitably deposited a small amount of milk residue. This milk residue, of. course, carries bacteria, which readily multiply to enormous numbers before the next milking peri- od. The central problem, then, in the care of milking machines, is the treat— ment, or handling, of the machines in such a manner that the milk residue shall be removed as fully as possible and the small number of bacteria .re- maining be prevented from growing- A large number of investigations have been carried 011 by various ex- periment station workers to devise means to accomplish this end. It was the good fo1tune of the writer, when located at The New YOIk Agmcultul a1 Expeiiment Station, to camy out some of these experiments. A number of efficient antiseptic solutions were thor- oughly tested out, practically as well as experimentally. But before describ- ing these solutions it should be re- marked that no antiseptic solution can be efficient unless accompanied, 01' rather preceded, by cleanliness. It is a fact well known among baca teriologists that any antiseptic or germicidal agent must come into inti-’ mate contact with bacteria in order. to kill them. Furthermore, it should be remembered that bacteria. are. so exceedingly small that an enormous number of them can hide under a very thin film of grease. Too often it has been observed that farmers do not have a, ready supply of hot water in the barn. Good results cannot be ex— pected without the use of hot water. How the Tubes Can Be Cleaned. In our experiments it was found that the following procedure effective- ly prepared the milking machine tubes for efficient sterilization by antiseptic solutions: With the machine running as ‘for milking, the teatcups were immersed in a pallt‘ul of cold water to remove the bulk of the milk remaining in the tubes. This was followed by a similar rins~ iing in a pellful of scalding hot water, containing a handful of cleansing pow dot in solution. This was for the pur- pose of removing grease.

Such a Solu- tion remains effective for several weeks but new lime must be added at least once penmonth. The amounts suggested for making the solution are ten pounds of quicklime for twenty- flve gallons of water. A ten per cent brine ,that is, a solu< tion/ of common salt in water; was found to be fairly efficient. I trouble with this, solution, (when used by practical farmers, '1 was “that the farmer had no way of knowing whethm er or not his solution maintained its full strength. This solution was aban- doned for one consisting of a- satur- ated lime, that is, .a. solution in which no more salt can be dissolved. With chemically pure water, a thirty~six per cent solution is possible. Such a solu- tion has the advantage that the farmer can readily ascertain that he has a. saturated solution? All that is necessary is that the so- lution must have u‘ndissolved salt pres— ent at all times. Curiously enough, such a solution Will contain a distinct bacterial flora of its own, but the bac« teria growing in the salt solution can- not g1ow in milk, nor, indeed, upon any food which does not contain a. laige amount of salt Chloride of Lime Helps.' To get a thoroughly sterile solution, a certain amount of chloride of lime was added to the saturated brine. This was added in the form of a stock solu- tion at the rate of one quart of stock solution to forty quarts of brine, once per week during cold weather and twice per week during warm weather. The reason for adding more in sum- mer than in Winter is owing to the fact that chloride of. lime is destroyed by organic matter, including rubber, and since this destructive action is a chemical reaction, it takes place more quickly at a high temperature than at a low one. The stock solution of chloride of lime is made as follows: A twelve- ounce can of dry chloride of lime pow— der is mixed with a gallon of-water in a glass or crockery vessel, prefer- ably one._that is tall and narrow. The mixture is allowed to stand over night: then it will be observed as a. greenish color ed liquid with a heavy white pre- cipitatc in the bottom of the Jar The stock solution consists of the greenish liquid above, the white powder below being inert. A caution should be mentioned at this point. Chloride of lime. its pur- chased upon the market, frequently is of very poor quality If the contents of the can is moist or lumpy. or, in other words. not in the torn of a div ‘ powder. the substance is Worthless.

About that time, just over the scrub ~ ‘ by hill to the north, young Gordon was walking, knee deep in the bronzed sweet fern, gun cocked, eyes alert.

He Was a dark-eyed,.spare young man, with well-shaped head and a good mouth. He wore his canvas _ like a soldier, and. shooting-clothes handled his gun and his dogs with a careless ease that might have appear— ed slovenly had the results been less precise. But even an amateur could see how thoroughly the ground was covered by those silent dogs. Gordon never spoke to them; a motion of his hand was enough. Once a scared rabbit scuttled out of . the sweet fern and bounded away, dis- playing the piteo’us. flag of truce, and Gordon smiled to himself when his perfectly trained dogs crossed the al- luring trail without a tremor, swerv- ing not an inch for bunny and his antics. But what could good dogs do, even if well handled, when there had been no flight from the north? So Gordon signalled the dogs and walked on. That part of his property which he ‘ had avoided for years he now came in sight of from the hill, and he halted, gun under his arm. There was the fringe of alders. mirrored in Rat’s Run; there was Jocelyn’s shanty, the one plague-spot in his estate: there, too, was old man Jocelyn, on his, knees beside the stream, fussing with some- thing that glistened, probably a fish. The young man on the hill-“top toss- ed his gun over his shoulder and called his two silvery~coated dogs to heel; then he started to descend the slope, the November sunlight dancing on the polished gunlbarrels. Down through the scrubby thickets he. strode; burr and thorn scraped his canvas jacket, blackberry-vines caught at elbow and knee. With an unfeigned scowl he kept his eyes on Jocelyn, who .was still pottering on the stream’s bank, but when Jocelyn heard him come After a while Jocelyn drew out’his rm man. stepping briskly to the] bank '01! the stream; ' "i want a word or two with yoga” . “Words are“ cheap,” Said Joeoiyn sitting up on his hamiches; how .many will you: have, Mr. Gordon?” “T want you,” said Gordon, slowly WIRELESS \ Fun-w —-¢ M {lay it done and l retreat To 5mm coho-t can, ' The. paper scanned and headlines rcad,’ And, daily care: are dead; ' Tm comes to be in accents sweet, lily joy to make. complete, A whispering wind from overhead, That stays till timg for bed.

You shoot for the market, and; it’s a dirty, contemptiible thing to do!" Jocelyn glared at him, but Gerdon looked him straight in the eye/and went on, calmly: “You are a law- breaker, and you know it!

But it’s every bit as vital to have rubber that won’t soon crack and break! Thousands upon thousands of times your boots are bent and wrinkled. It takes real live rubber to stand this constant wrinkling and still stay water- proof: And that’s what the rubber in “US.” ,Boots will do! No more live and elas- tic rubber has ever been used in boot construction. ‘ Cut a strip of this rubber from a “U.S.” Boot and you’ll find it will stretch more than five times its length without breaking! And it will snap back into shape every time—like an elastic band. This live, tough rubber means longer wear. Anchored in this elastic rubber are layer on layer of strong fabric reinforcements. Where the hardest strains come there are as many as eleven separate layers of rubber and fabric. They give to “U. 5.” Boots strength to stand the hardest knocks and strains. “U. S.’ ’ Boots wear longer because they’re built to wear longer. It will pay you to ask for “U. S.” ‘ Other “ U. 5.” Rubber Footwear You’ll find every type of rubber footwear in the big “U.S.” line. There’s the Walrus, the famous all-rubber overshoe—the“U. S.’ ’ “” lace Bootee, a rubber workshoe for fall and spring —“U.S." Arctics and Rubbers—all- styles and sizes for the whole family. Look for the “U.S.” Trade Mark whenever you buy—the honor mark of the largest rubber organization in the world. United States Rubber Company THE There is more than passing pleasure in the gift of a Willys-Knight— infinitely more! Such a gift will bring your family boundless joy and happiness, now and in the years to come. Pride in its distinctive beauty of line and contour—its brilliant per- formance— its smooth, velvety power. Satisfaction in the amazing quiet- ness, flexibility and economy of the world-famous Willys-Knight sleeve- valve engine. This is the same type of engine that powers the most expensive, hand- built cars of Europe; the only type of engine in the world that actually improves with use. Simple, sliding sleeves instead of noisy poppet- valves. The annoyance and expense of carbon-cleaning and valve-grind- ing are banished forever. Carbon only makes this engine quieter, smoother and more powerful, mile after mile and season after season. And finally—in addition to matchless beauty, comfort, economy and long life—all Willys-Knight models are now equipped with the famous Lanchester Balancer, which gives Willys-Knight freedom from vibration so common in motor cars. At the wheel of a Willys-Knight car, you can 1011 back in the deep, soft, yielding cushions and relax. Driving is as effortless as breathing; steering as easy as turning your head. Control levers are just the proper length. An unusually light pressure operates the foot pedals. Why not make this Christmas memorable?

At sixteen he was im- patiently looking . forward to begin- ning his courses of study, when One day a tree which ‘was being ' felled struck him and broke his back. “He never walk- ed again. Doomed to lie on his back, all hopes blighted, he asked for something to do with his hands. They gave him needle and thread, shears and a piece of buck- skin. He made a pair of clumsy buck- skin gloves. ‘He made a better_pair, and still better. Then dozens of pairs, until he built up a small business. But his ambition mounted with success, and he wanted to study something. ‘Can’t I Study laW?’ he asked. ‘_"They got him law books. He read. law and made buckskin gloves; made gloves and studied law. He was ad‘ mitted to the bar. He became justice of the peace in his backwoods settle- ment. Men got to going to him for miles, to tell him their troubles. His ethics rested on the Sermon on the Mount. He bou ht land, hired it tilled, built] himself a better house, and set— tled into the character of a country squire. He was of the little church flock, and the rest of the flock_eame to set great store by his good sense, his wholesome cheer, indomitable ac- tivity, and, withal, his straight reli- ance on God; in fact, the helpless glov- er’s dwelling was the meeting place for the flock about as often as the! church building; for everybody said, “We get new strength to‘ keep going when we meet around the cot’.” BRIGHT light in the firmament of the Scotch pulpit of the past fifty years was the late Dr. George Mathe- son. Blind from youth, Matheson has a right to say something about afflic- tion. He made his way through the university by his sister‘s reading his lessons to him, and later wrote many books which have extraordinary pow- er.

There if you can locate it, that will not re- move the trouble that besets you, ex— cept to prevent a recurrence of it. At- tributing our‘hard lot to our fathers is small consolation. Permitting our- selves to become soured with envy but makes all worse. Cast all your care upon Him, for He careth for you. All things work together for good—to certain people, namely, those that love God, and can look at their affiliction with faith’s vision. This is not to be taken that we should not utilize all possible means at ourcommand.

A man Whose barn is. burned down with lighting in spite of: carefully erected lightning rods cannot be said to be reaping the fruits of his own carelessness. You will recollect that the book of Job is the most detailed and careful study of the problem cf trouble in the Bible, or, for that matter, in the world. And when all has been said. and much .light has been thrown on the subject, the book ends by saying that there is a deep mystery about it; We must fall back on God. Faith and faith only will meet the conditions and reassure the ~soul, whether the affliction be blindness, death. the loss of money, the loss of health or of friends. We know that God cares. Not a sparrow falls without his notice. Being sure of this, we can go on, and grapple with any foe. 'SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR . DECEMBER 7. g—The man born blind.

L around me I sighed. and began the weary task of putting it in the barrel of salt brine by my side. “If ‘ only Henry didn’t butcher so many hogs,”_ I sighed aloud, “or we ate the, ~ meat better," I added, knowing at the same time that there was no more .meat in the cellar than we would eat,. but I did get so tired ofvthe old salt , pork. "‘GOOd morning,” and the voice startled me from the cellarway steps. I looked up with a frowu that came from my sullen thoughts. dOWn the steps with a cheery smile on her face came Aunt'Charlotte.

Tripping ‘ Farmer, Detroit, Michigan,‘ be fore December 12. , questioned Aunt Charlotte. “Then why fix it like this?” “Well, I don’t know any other way to fix it so it will keep,” I replied. “Child, just you let me show you how ‘to do it. Let me see, you just butchered yesterday, didn’t you? Well, the meat ought to be a day old when rubbed with the mixture I am going to tell you about. But first I will skip home and get the saltpetre and light brown sugar. I don’t suppose you have them, and while I am gone just you take out those pieces you have in the barrel. You liked the meat you had over at my house, didn’t you?” ’ “Yes, yes,” I answered quickly, re; membering how delicious the meat I ~had eaten at her house seemed to taste. _ l . It hardly seemed ten minutes \later’ - when Aunt Charlotte ' came puffing down the cellar steps again, her kindly face beaming with interest. “Now,” she ordered, “you hunt up a crock or something to mix the stuff-in. We will just take a certain amOunt, though it may not‘be enough to ilx‘all ' ~ your meat,,and iii-it isn’ t we can make ‘ more.

The two differ- ent peppers Seem to' give ti a better taste than just one kind. Now you mix it. ” _ I did as I was told, mixing the 'in- gredients very thoroughly. "That looks like a funny mixture to put on meat ” I ventured. “Don’t it though?” she asked, my mother used it for years and never had a speck of meat to spoil. Rub- bing it in the meat is quite a job, the hardest part of all, but if you don’t get it rubbed in good theImeat will surely spoil. Now see,” and she pick- ed up a good- s-ized piece of bacon and began rubbing the mixture over the surface. “Oh, I can easily do that,” I ex- claimed. “Of course you can,”, she encour- aged, “but you must be careful to touch every part and to rub it ‘ in deeply.” After several hours of weary rub- bing we had gone over all‘the pieces. "‘Now we must lay the meat on a. slanting board,” announced Charlotte. “You must keep it there,,too, during the curing process, so that every part of it will be touched by the air. The big piebes will have to be rubbed four times, and some of the hams may need five rubbings,, but three will be enough for the smaller pieces.” “When must I rub it again?” I asked. “Three days apart,” replied Aunt' Charlotte.

The great joy of receiving toys at Christmas time for children is getting. what they want. Every toy should be made to exercise a dual purpose, that of making the child happy and of assisting him in an educative and creative way. Toys are the treasuled possessions of childhood, and the im- pressions they make in childhood days are lasting. It may be you note in advance what the child wants, but it is also nec- essary to know why. Perhaps little James wants a sled like the one his playmate has. This may be because it is a bright and shiney one, or be , cause it .can go faster and farther than any. other sled of his playfellows. The boy who teases for expensive mechanical toys may have his real wish better gratified in the ownership of materials with which to experiment and construct his own metal toys. If Jane is of a studious nature, she will get more hours of real happiness out of a story book suitable to her age, rather than a set of doll dishes, which for us appears to be the correct gift for any little girl.

When I came home from school I heard my brother say, “Can I tell Ella about her prize?” But I only heard him say, “Can I tell Ella?” He wouldn’t say the rest loud enough.

Ye's, flashlights do come handy around cars, Young Folks and Church Going Dear Uncle Frank: I have just finished reading an arti- cle in one of our farm papers which states that “out of about fifteen mil- lion farm children more than four mil- lion are virtual pagans, children with- out knowledge Of God.” The writer dealt lightly on the vice that exists in such a community. He explained the condition as being the result of a want of churches. Perhaps he is right, but not entirely so. I have been brought up in a vicinity where there are plenty of churches but too little religion. \Vhat is the cause? Well, I can remember when, as a little girl, my mother sometimes took me to church. As I grew older she sent me to Sunday School—~alone. Somehow, she always seemed too .busy to go‘herself, and I, very 'naturally, grew to think a small excuse suffi- cient for remaining at home. Now I never go. \Vhat sort of parents did I have,you ask? Absolutely, the finest ever. They, themselves had high ideals, and even religion under a cold outer shell, but they were, like the parents of count- less other young people around here, too much inclined to teach religion to . their children by words rather than by example. ‘ My parents, and the parents of all the other young people at'or near my age have often chided us for not show- ing a greater interest in the church. They tell us that they used to go to , A, Church on Sunday-night rather than . - to a- movie. . The faCt remaigs, how— .3 oyer,that they grewfiax ;in,,;§9ligious \ ., duties as they grew older, and that their children dropped out at a much earlier age. — , Fortunately, enough knowledge and belief of God Was instilled into the hearts of most of those children first, that they now rely‘on it to help themw selves withstand, many temptations. But, if the greater share of our set have stopped going to church when we are yet so young, what will become of the next generation—~of our chil- dren? Some of the finest people I know haven’t gone to church for sev- eral years, and have even come to doubt the influence of religion on their conduct, yet I feel sure that it is the teachings of God, instilled in their hearts when Sunday School was the only place they had to go on Sunday, that is making them keep themselves clean and their honor secure. All moral teachings point directly to the Bible as their source. Surely, if religion has done this much for us,,'we owe it devotion and support. To go to church every Sunday would, of course, mean the sacrifice of a good many pleasures, just as we deny ourselves other indulgences for the sake .of pre- serving our sacred honor. Religion and honor go hand-in-hand, therefore, no sacrifice is too great to preserve the thing that .has saved so many souls, and which we must; support fer the guidance of souls that, are to ”exist in the future. ‘, > ‘ l . ; .

I never had Caesar, at least, I don’t remember having him, so I can’t give my opinion. My last name is in the paper, so what’s the use of putting it in again?_ ' ' - . Dear Uncle Frank: A - After reading Ivan Crandall’s letter I suddenly remembered that I was in the same predicament myself. I, just couldn’t decide which was more im- portant, Latin or algebra I»“looked” the Latin test over, couldn’t read it, so I took up algebra. At times I could — not even understand algebra. Many times I wish that I had taken up Latin instead; but it can’t be helped now. For the average American individual I might say that algebra is more im- portant, becauSe algebra deals with a higher study of numbers than arith- metic. Algebra teaches many ways of finding unknown quantities and equa- tions. With the present high prices and so on, one will be able to figure out costs and" also, what'most folks would like to know, the trend of pric- es. A knowledge of algebra would be convenient in figuring out income tax- es. More important than algebra is geometry, because more theories of geometry can be applied to every-day life than equations of algebra. If W. Basket likes this kind of food, I will send him some. mores—Yours truly, Fred Broemer, Jr., Green, Mich. Both 'Latin and Algebra have their uses. Algebra will help make known unknow—n quantities, but it won’t solve the mysteries of life. Latin will'help you to know better the civilization of the past. ' .

M. ‘ ' Chicks can be hatched in December ' .and January, but there are- many ob-' jections to the plan, and I doubt if it would be profitable. Eggs are not so fertile (at that‘ time‘ and the hatch might be poor. The chicks would have to be confined for a. long time ; and might be licking in vigor. If they were sold as broilers they would with pets with cold storage stock raised at a smaller cost per bird.

A skilled poultryman can raise lot of winter chicks by using modern methods. But the cost of prod'uctibn and the mortality rate would be higher than for chicks produced in the nor- mal season. NEWS LIZIVERLAN I FREIM INCREASING THE ACREAG‘E OF TILLAGE LAND. CCORDING to Mr. George Amund- ; sen, land-clearing specialist in the Upper Peninsula, there have been dis- tributed to farmers for land-clearing purposes during the past year 94,000 pounds of pyrotol and 532.950 pounds This works out‘a. farm average of 52.75 pounds for all farms of the Upper Peninsula. Ontonagon county used 158,000 pounds of explos- ive and led all counties of the penin- sula. He announced that 200,000 pounds would go into the same county next; spring.

ADVISES AGAINST GROWING Po- TATOES FOR EXPORT. OUNTY Agent W, N. Clark, of On- tonagon county, is advising his farmers against planting too many po- tatoes. He regards it as inadvisable to grow potatoes for more than the local market. At prevailing prices and freights there is no‘ money for the farmer when so many potatoes are produced that it is necessary to ship the surplus Out of the county. ‘ Herea- ommends planting only for the‘ locale market. This requires early" spring: planting to permit potaotes to mature before fall frosts, and they must be grown on rich soil, and kept free from disease and bugs. In marketing pota- toes it is important to sort them care- fully and only to offer for sale the uniformly middle-sized . individuals. WILL TEACH FARM MECHANICS.

In- deed, there were cases where the anti- aseptic solution was in fact, not an antiseptic solution but a putrid solu- tion teeming with bacterial life. ' There are an the market a number of .hypochloride antiseptics, whichzare nothing more or less than sodium hy- pochIor'ite, a chemic‘al sister of lime, and no more effective. such small amounts of the antiseptic that ineffective results are obtained. " On the other ‘ha'nd,su11h solutions, , while expensive, are apt to be of standardized strength and can be more. effectively applied by the farmer. ‘You Can ~Pasteurize the Tubes. A recent method of f1 eelng milking? machine tubes of bacteria has been advocated. This is to practically pas- teurize them. It is recommended that‘- the tubes “be placed in cold water; which is then -+br-ought to 180 degrees F, and maintained (at that point for one~half hour. It is claimed by the advocates of this proceduie, that this treatment does not destroy the rubber. The writer ~had tried this method and agiees that it is bacteriologically effi- cient and does not destroy the 1ubber but it so decreases its elasticity that it very readily. falls off the machines. There may be kinds of rubber which can withstand such treatment but at least some brands of rubber will not. This fact was ascertained by experi- ment by the first worker in this field of bacteriology. Professor Stocking, of Cornell University, at that. time working at the Storrs, Connecticut, Station. . I" Some Pnecautions. A few final words of caution may not be amiss. Enough of the antisep- tic solution should be used to com- pletely immerse the rubber parts. of the milking machine. Too many farm- ers content themselves with a. five or tengallon crock, when a thirty or ‘ fifty~gallon crock is called liar. It may notbe amiss to again call attention to the fact that the use of antiseptic solution is only practicable where it follows thorough cleanliness. Another precaution which should be mentioned before leaving the subject, is that violent poisons should never be used about the dairy- There are a. number of germicidal substances that could ‘be used to keep down the germ content of machine~drawn milk but they should never be used. The solu- tions recommended above are harm~ less, when used as recommended. Most of the emphasis of this article has been placed .upon the care of the rubber parts of the milking machine, but it is well to remember that bac- teria can grow on metal surfaces. as well as on rubber surfaces. The pails and heads of the machines should be given as thorough attention as any other dairy utensils. They should be thoroughly washed and scald-ed, or steamed so efficiently that" they are left in a dry condition or in a condi- tion in which they will quickly dry after the treatment. Depriving bac— teria of moisture deprives them of the chance to multiply. If the above precautiOns are follow- ed, there is no reason why one may not produce milk with as low a. germ content as can be produced by the best hand—milking. This has been re— peatedly proven by a large number of investigators, including the writer. Tw'enty fauner's in Michigan were able to produce a ton litter of pigs in 180 days this year, and are therefore eligible to enter the Ton Litter Club under the insuces of the animal hus- ‘Wdepmentotn no.

WHEAT The possibility of large deliveries on December contracts has been respon- sible for much uncertainty and erratic action in the wheat market in the last week but it has made fair gains. The woxld’s statistical position of wheat seems to grow stronger instead of weakening. The Argentine ClOp has passed the point whe1e rain would be of gleat help, and instead, it would in- terfere with harvest, which is just get- ting under way in the more northerly provinces. Australian 010p prospects are not as good as they were a short time ago. Russia seems to have aban- doned any idea of exports before next spling. There is little to add to the crop situation in the 1est of Europe, which shows a. decrease of about 166,- 000,000 bushels compared with last "yea1. Thus far in the crop year, the advance in prices has not checked the rate at which importing countries are taking wheat. From July 1 to No- vember 22, disappearance of wheat in international trade channels amounted to 286,000,000 bushels against 257 ,,000- 000 bushels last year, when a new high 1ecord was set up. RYE - While the stock of rye on ocean pas- sage is comparatively large, foreign buyers have been taking substantial amounts from day to day for forward shipment. More rye is disappearing from international trade channels than , a year, which is in line with the esti- mate of increased foreign needs as a result of a reduction of about 124,000,- 000 bushels in the European crop. At the same time, available surpluses are smaller than a, year ago. A week ago, corn was showing more strength than any other grain. At resent, it is reactionary, hawever. 0th the visible supply and receipts of corn are of normal size for this sea- son cf the year. The quality of ar- rivals is better than expected in view of the large amount of soft corn in the crop. Husking returns are disapwnt- ing, but at the rate hogs are liquidated, feed requirements will-be much smaller than they were «last win- " ' , ter or two years ago. OATS .

Stocks are heavy ve poultry, 11'9th sp cm at at visible supply points but primary light s ringers 18c; heavy hens 22 receipts are gradually diminishing and". the accumulation has not gained much. in the last several weeks ' Clover seed markets 2 are holding, practically- all of their recent gains. Receipts are still small and indicate a shortage even greater than that shown by the estimated yield. Deal- ers are still in the dark, of course, as to how the consuming demand will re- spond to the sharp increase in prices compared with the last several years. Production of oil meals is heavy and prices have declined 50 cents to $1 per ton in the last week. The increas- ed crops of cotton~ and flaxseed mean that the supply of these meals will be the largest in several years. Millfeed markets are quiet and prices are un- changed. The output from flour mills is practically equal to the demand. There is little disposition on the part of interior buyers to contract for fu— ture delivery. Storage stocks of mill- feeds are fairly large. HAY ’ The hay market is draggy at most points. Receipts, as well as demand, are rather light. Timothy hay of low grade has accumulated in some mar- kets. The demand for alfalfa has de- clined sharply and only the small movement sustains prices. POULTRY AND EGGS Fresh eggs are still in light supply and prices have advanced further dur- ing the week. Demand was affected. , by the holiday trade and prices may react slightly now that this influence is withdrawn. Cold weather in pro« ducing sections may cut into the lay during the next two weeks, but the' normal increase which begins to ap- pear during December will swell the receipts later On.

Whites ale quoted at $5. 25@5 30 per hundred pounds, f. o. b. Michigan shipping points. The situation is rath- er surprising to the trade as it .was supposed that the fairly strong outlook for the crop year would stimulate buy- ing. There is no foreign com tition. Since the dist1ibutors probaby have enough beans to last them a few" weeks longer, demand may remain rather narrow until after inventories are taken around the first of the year.
