I raised last spring, over one hundred Mallard ducklings and about twenty- flve goslings without a single loss from disease or sickness of any sort, and think perhaps‘some of our read- ers would be interested in learning of my feeding methods, which are very simple when I compare them with the feeding mashes often given in your paper. No doubt they give a balanced ration, but at the same time it appears to me over-feeding is the cause of most of the troubles in duck and geese raising. My ducklings were all hatched from ‘under hens and the hatches averaged about ninety—nine per cent of all eggs set. In fact, we guaranteed all our sales of hatching eggs. Our breeding group consisted of five ducks and one drake and they had'free range of the farm, which included a particularly at- tractive piece cf pasture, with plenty of wet spots which ducks like. Since spring, we never fed one bit of grain to these breeding ducks and they laid an egg every single night. These were set under brooding hens, setting thir- teen to fifteen eggs per hen. When the hatches came off, we took the ducklings into the house as fast as they dried. When the hatch was A' Practical Journal for the Rural Family . Itr cfla fig?“ ° £51245" ,.

If the weather was warm, we let them outside in a. day or two, but for the first two or three days they were confined, either in the barn or outside coop. This gave them a chance to get strength into their little feet. Their first feed, only kind of feed we give our ducklings, was medium fine cornmeal made into a mash, not sloppy though, with ordi— nary cold water. Instead of just put- ting the feed on the floor for the duck- lings to find it, we bunched them to- gether and springled the feed on their backs. we find that is the best way to feed them at the start. You should see how the little things peck that mash off each other’s backs. Of course, later on they pick it off the ground, but the baby ducks learn to eat by our method quickest. I see no advan— tage in feeding skim or whole milk to either chicks, ducks or goslings. I experimented with a few ducks, feed- ing them with mash made with milk. The result was that each and every one of them got what might be called diarrhea. However, I changed their mash immediately and none of them died; So it appears to me that feeding milk to ducklings or chickens is the cause of diarrhea in many instances. - 2 ' 6 I In ”:00!“ 0.

However, I have found that the ducklings do not miss their mother, nor does it appear that they need a brooder as in the case of incu- bator chicks. Until the ducklings were two or three weeks old, we kept them near the house and fed them three times a day with cornmeal mash. We sunk several tanks about ten inches deep into the ground and kept this filled with fresh water. I often read where, ducklings should not be allowed ac-‘ cess to a pool of water until quite old,‘ but I find that they like the water as soon as they can get to it and no} QUALITY - RELIABILITY SERVICE ___..____—=' NUMBER. SEVENTEEN ~Raising Ducks and Geese harm is done. In fact, it seems to do them good, so we allowed our duck- lings all the baths they wanted. The ducks are now on pasture and we do feed them twice a dair with cornmeal mash. There is one thing I do not under— stand about ducklings, and i wish somebody well versed in poultry would let out the news: Why do they grow so unevenly? Some ducklings will have their mature feathers while oth- ers of the same hatch will still be in the baby stage. I have been told that ducks always grow like this, no mat- ter how you feed them, but I am going to experiment on my next hatch, due in a few days, and see what I can do to get away from this obstacle in duck raising success. Also, I wish some breeder would develop a “quackless duck.” I think goslings are the easiest of all poultry to raise. “’9 have three females and one gander, and we got excellent results, although the hatch was not so high as with ducks, due to the fact that we gathered the eggs and waited until the geese started to brood when we set about thirteen to fifteen eggs under each goose. One of the geese got a wonderful appetite for her eggs and before we caught on to what she was doing she devoured half her eggs.

Baltzer HE cow testing association is the simplest, surest and cheap- est method that the dairyman can employ to bring and keep his cows on the highway of greater dairy efiiciency and profits. It affords the small as well as the large herd owner an economical means of getting 8. rec- ord of milk and fat production on each cow, and it alsogives him the facts regarding the cost of each cow’s product. Every dairyman will realize the great value of this information, but very few will take sufficient time to keep such records. Many dairymen keep a milk record she’et, but most of- these .milk sheets are never added up , at the end of the month; hence the greatest value for keeping them is lost. The cow testing association ov- ercomes this difficulty and gives the desired facts in a regular and sys- tematic manner. The cow testing association is a sim< ple cooperative organization of twen- ty-fivé or who agree to hire a dairy efficiency expert. It is'the duty of this man, known as the cow tester, totweigh and test the milk of each cow owned in the herds of the members of the as- sociation. , , The cow tester 'vis'its each of‘the twenty—six herdsone day out of each . month. At each visit the tester weighs the milk of each cow and tests it for , butter-fat. .\He also weighs or esti- _mates the amount of feed consumed I " breach cow. From these facts the twenty-six dairy farmers- tester calculates the value of the milk or butter-fat produced by the cow for the month and also computes the cost of the feed for the month. He charges the cost of the feed against the value of the product of the cow and obtains \the profit or loss made by each cow and for the whole herd. The tester also calculates the returns received by the owner for each dollar expended for feed, the feed cost of a pound of but- cal ration for the herd and the indi— vidual cows. He recommends feeding each cow according to her actual pro- duction. In this way the right amount of feed goes to the right cow and each cow is fed according to her abilityw no more, nor no less. Hence, the cow testing association has a two-fold ob- ject ii) that it first encourages the feeding of the cows in the most effi— cient manner possible according to the ter—fat or 100 pounds of milk produced by each. cow. These records are posted in the cow testing association herd book which remains on the farm for reference by the owner at all times. Twelve such visits by the cow tester completes the record for the year. Thus the simple calculations give the dairyman first— hand information regarding the effi- ciency of production of each COW in his herd. It is a further duty of the cow tester to suggest the proper feeding methods in each herd. It is the aim of the tester to recommend for the records obtained, the best and most economi- yield of milk and the butter-fat test, and second, it eliminates the poor pro- ducers which are unprofitable. Starts in Denmark. The first cow testing association was organized in Denmark, in May, 1895. These associations were called milk recording societies. Mrs. Anne Han- sen, of Vejen, Denmark, organized this new society. This organization mark- ed the beginning of an orderly plan which is making the dairy industry more efficient. There were but twelve members instead of the usdal twenty- six when the association began oper- ations. This association, like many others, had its difficulties right at the v start, because it had only half enough members. However, this organization finished strong, during the twelfth month twenty—four farmers owning 522 cows were members of the association. Today, Denmark has 304.000 cows, or twenty—six per cent of its dairy cattle under test in 827 cow testing associa- tions. The cow testing association idea has spread and is thriving vigor- ously in many other countries, partic-i ularly in Scotland, England, Finland, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. Michigan Seeds in America. The first cow testing association formed in the United States was or- ganized in Michigan. 11:; 1905 several Newaygo county dairymen headed by Simon Hagadorn, Henry Rozema, J. E. Beam and l-Ielmer Rabild, organized the first cow testing association at Fremont, Michigan. The testing work began in January, 1906. This organization, the oldest cow testing association in America, has fin- ished sixteen years of successful test- ing work and is continuing for another year. ‘ Since 1906 every state in the Union, excepting Florida, has had one or more associations in operation. Reports ,made by the United States Depart— ment of Agriculture Bureau of Dairy- ing, show 732 cow testing associations in operation in the United States at the present time. Michigan has 105 of these associations in operation, or almost fifteen per cent of the total (Continued on page 582). :iasg'». 11;, -,..

VOLUME CLXIV NUMBER SEVENTEEN DETROIT, APRIL 25, 1925 CURRENT COMMENT ARMING has had Stability a pretty hard rub f during this post-war 0 period. But it has Agriculture gone through and is now coming to its own. Of course, there were somv fatalities; there always are during any period of stress, but on the wliolc,'ag— riculture has stood the strain in pret- ty good shape. The experience of the Federal Land and Joint Stock Land Banks shows well the stability of agriculture. in the eight years of their existence they have acquired only 1,396 farms out of loans on 403,906 farms. This is a very remarkable record, for it is only three- tenths of one per cent of the loans made by these banks. “"9 doubt whether there is any oth- er industry or line of activity which could show such a record in good times, to say nothing of periods of depression. No‘ other line of activity is so funda- mental in its characteristics, or so necessary in the maintenance of u high—grade civilization. No other ac- tivity has such influences for sane thinking, moral cleanliness, or sound citizenship as agriculture. Farming will go through many changes to adjust, itself to our everv changing civilization, but it will al— ways be the bed-rock upon which American progress is built. AVE you heard of it be— fore? N0? lVell, it’s just an old college with a new name. Old M. A. C., the oldest agricultural college in America, simply isn’t any more. Amidst much surprise and acclaim last week the State Legislature Chang ed the name of the Michigan Agricut tural College to the Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science. The. change is a gain, in that it has more name now than it had be- fore, but this fact indicates that the new name was not selected by those who were versed in the principles of advertising. The new name will be cumbersome unless it is contracted to “Michigan State College,” and even then M. S. C. won’t trip off of the tongue as easily, nor make as nice a monogram as M. A. C. Perhaps a change was needed. There is no doubt but what the col- evel‘ Michigan State College to the other good courses it has. For instance, a graduate engineer might be asked, when applying for a job, “What do they know about machinery at an agricultural college?” But, we also feel that there is danger that ag— riculture may be subordinated to the other courSes there. If this is not done there will be noth- ing to the change in name. A rose is still a rose under another name. So, old M. A. C., or rather new M. S. C., can still remain the same old institution, with as great, or even greater, service to agriculture. Perhaps the change will be home ficial in that it will cause the agricul- tural forces of the state to keep alert to see that agriculture will retain its proper place among the activities of the college. Already there is an indi- cation that this is being done. Efforts are being made in the legislature to increase the agricultural extension ap- propriation from $520,000 to $857,000. The agricultural forces of the Michi¢ gan State College can use such an in- crease for very beneficial purposes. OME men succeed The Farme at fa 1' mi 11 g and -And The'r some men fail. Some succeed because of Farm favorable conditions while others succeed because of themselves. The factors of success are variable. “"9. cannot say, for instance, that so much is due to clay loam soil and a certain per cent to high school education. Every combi- nation seonis to present a problem by itself. ilut of the two factors, the chances of success lie just as much with the man as with the farm. It is surprising what a man Willi a trained mind can do with an unlikely piece of land. On the other hand, it is equally surprising how little some men get out of natur- ally good farms. We just enjoyed a visit with a man living on a light farm in an obscure section of the state who has added over four thousand dollars to his bank account with his potato crop this past season. th'hile his land is not of the richest. his brains have been fertilized with every kind of potato lore, obser— vation and experience that he could turn under the folds of his gray mat— ter. He supplemented his secondsratc farm with first-rate thinking. Recently We were told that every acre of the sand dunes of Denmark are now covered with forests. It was not natural that forests would grow there. Danish intelligence was responsible for covering these bald, creeping sand piles. Building up the farmer is the first step in building up the farm. Taking this step may occasion somottempor- ary sacrifice, but ultimately the results will show at the bank. WOULD give ten That dollars more per C .t acre for land in this omrnlrnl y community because Building of this Grange Hall, than I would without it. In fact, I would not. want to live in a community that did not have am- bition enough to build up and keep in repair some community institution of this kind.” These, in substance, are the words of one of Michigan’s aristocratic farm- ers, spoken to the writer, while driv- ing through a progressive farming dis- trict in the northern part of the state. The third member of the party was the local county agent, and he added that, in his opinion, the hall and What it stood for meant even more than an added ten dollars to each acre of farm land in the community. Surely, in this instance, the com- munity was mo1e attractive than oth- er districts having equally as good soil and market opportunities. There according to the agent. Have we reckoned fully,,and do we keep constantly in mind the value that any good community building is to the place where we live? In eVery neigh- borhood, there are a few who are gen- erous in the contribution of time and funds to build and maintain these in- stitutions. But, in the main, the great mass of us are niggardly; we contrib ute little and expect much. The re- sult is that we usually get nothing. In the above community, we are in- formed, there “was real cooperation. It was madea community matter. Not a few but the rank and file of these good farm folks put themselves behind the project. Their reward appears to be a. hundred fold. OR three years Sees the potato grow- New ers in northern coun— . ties of the state have Light suffered from adverse market ‘ conditions. But the fire of hope has again been lighted in the breasts of these men. This hope has come, not from grow- ing potatoes for the table, but for seed. Certified seed growers have been doing well. This past year, when neighbors were taking less than thirty cents per bushel for table stock, these men were realizing about a dollar for certified seed. It costs more to grow certified seed potatoes than it does table stock. But, the added costs are small compared to the higher market price that grow- ers about large centers of consumption are Willing to pay for this healthy, vigorous seed. - The business is economically sound. This seed adds, on an average, fortyr bushels to every acre planted, as com— pared with common seed. Besides, the grower gets a product of higher quality. So he is satisfied to the point of enthusiasm. He is rapidly increas— ing his purchases, while his numbers are expanding. It is estimated that, in the territory naturally supplied from Michigan, a potential annual de— mand for 7,000,000 bushels of certified seed, exists. At the annual meeting of the Mich- igan Potato Producers’ Association at Traverse City last week, it was ap- parent that our growers will attempt to expand their operations to take care of the larger demand of the years to come. ECREATION is a The need of human life. Those who do Value Of not have enough rec- Recreation reation live warped lives because t h e y have made themselves slaves to cir- cumstances. The word itself shows the import- ance of recreation. It means to re- create, to revive, to rest. Recreation really takes one out of the treadmill of existence, it makes life worth living. In every life there is a strong urge for recreation, and when one is still out of the ruts of life, as the young are, strenuous efforts are often made to get recreation. Often false recrea- tion is thus sought and the lights and glitter of the city are lures. The lack' of good wholesome recreation enjoyed by the whole family together is prob- ably one of the chief reasons for the young folks running away from home. But recreation is no more essential for the young than for us who have the realities of life to deal with. We need it even more to help fit us to solve the problems which we continu- ally meet. Recreation can be had at home, and that is a very good place to have it. But there are times when one wants ‘ of farming in “ evidence. The grange, to:a very large, . degree, had through many years of work wrought the result that we saw, .. means of forgetting everyday life. one’s self in a good book is a fine A good play often helps one to forget himself and to live, in a way, another life for a while. Games of the athletic kind, as well as the )parlor ones, are good. A‘change of scene is a form of rec- reation and is usually beneficial, but not many of us can come and go as we please. There are times when we would like to roam in the balmy south or to foreign shores where there are strange people. Modern invention has almost made this pbssible for us. If one wishes to let his imagination roam, he can go to the moving picture show and lose himself with new scenes, and at the same time gain a larger knowl- edge of the world. It is the most eco- nomical way to tiavel that has as yet been devised. And besides, good mu- sic often helps one’s enjoyment While he is taking such an imaginary jour- ney. But, at least, it is one’ s duty to take a “trip” away from himself occa- sionally. When he does that he "comes back” refreshed and ready to take on daily duties with renewed energy. Happi'mur THE subject 0' my sermon today is‘ Happinuss. The text‘is, “The only way ta get it is ta give it,” which is taken from the book 0’ life. Vl‘e hear a lots nowadays about the pursuit o’ happinuss, an’ judgin’jrom my observashuns, there’s lots 0’ folk ses what is runnin’ themselves just about ragged pursuitin’ happinuss. I say they’s‘got the wrong idea. Happinuss is like a animule. As long as you pursuit it, it keeps ahead 0’ you, but if you will just set quiet-like, doin’ all the good you can ta all the people you can, before you know it, it is comin’ up ta. you and eatin' out 0’ your hand. Happinuss can’t be chased; it can’t even be coaxed, but it will come ta you of its own free will when it knows you are the right one it should come ta. It’s the simple things o’niife what bring happinuss. Maybe money and your surroundings sometimes help a. littul, but it’s mostly you and what you do that b1ings happinuss to you. Folkses ain’t enjoyin’ happinuss when somebody is makin’ a fuss over ’em; it’s just vanity and selfishness what is bein’ pleased. There’s lots 0’ folkses what enjoy false happinuss. They spend money and have a “good time” and they is in the gloxy 0’ excitemunt and elashun, but when somethin’ happens ta stop the stimulashun 0’ good times, ain’t it; awful? It’s just like the mornin’ after. Happinuss ain’t_ excitemunt; it’s quiet and deep .enjoymunt what don’t have no “mornin’s after.” It’s the con- tentmunt what comes from consider- in’ others. ”Real happinuss makes a life beautiful, because it comes from unselfish service. Even those what know happinuss have their sad times. The sadness helps ta make the happinuss all the more appreciated. Sometimes the greatest happinuss comes through trial. « There rain’t nobody what kin go through life without a cloud in the sky once in'a while. But we kin keep the storms o’,life from bein’ diSas- trous, if we just do our part ta keep the storms from brewin’. Well, I just hope this talk on happi- nuss ain’t made you‘sad, but if you’re sleepin’ peacefully now I know it’s bad a soothin’ effect.

The most important price determining factor in the potato market is the total crop. In planning for the coming year the potato farmer should consider what the probable outlook is for production; He should also consider what alternate crops he can grow in place of potatoes. When conditions in the market are bad the manufacturer can reduce his production to meet the situation. This can be done definitely, for man can the amount of production control The1925Potato Field T he Quartion of Acre: Baffle: Many Grower: I ' A :By J.1F. Horner duction of potatoes is the most logical type of farming. The soil and climate are suitable. There is equipment on hand to properly grow potatoes and the farmers know how to do the job better than anything else. The prob- lem for the farmer , to consider is whether he can reduce his potato acre- age and make his year’s operations return him a greater profit. The 1924 acreage was not excessive. The abnormal feature of that year was the yield. Under normal conditions the total cropswould have been more nearly in accordance with the demand of the market and a better price would have prevailed. It seems that farmers had returned to a normal potato acre— age only to have their efforts offset by a most favorable season. The United States Department of Agriculture in “The Agricultural Out- look for 1925” says, “The present price of potatoes is likely to result in too small an acreage of potatoes this year. The Record Production of Potatoes for 1924 was .the Result of the Highest Average Yield Per Acre Ever Grown on American Farms. which comes from factories. Agricul- tural production is so dependent upon nature that man does not have abso« lute control over the quantity which is to result from the harvest. The most effective way the farmer has to influence production is by Changes in acreage planted. Since 1869, the change in the quantity of production of potatoes was opposite to the change in acreage twenty-four times and the change was in the same direction thir- ty-one times. This shows that a re- duced or increased production was se- cured a little more than one-half the times by changing acreage. Of course, in general, the acreage change is the effective way to influence production: but it is not absolute. The 1924 potato acreage in. the United States was forty per cent less than that of 1923. But while the 1923 average acre yield was 109.0 bushels, that of 1924 was 124.2 bushels. ’1_‘_he 1924 average acre yield was eleven bushels more than that of any pre- vious year. The farmer who tried to «produce more nearly in accordance With market demands and thereby se- cure a better price for his potato crop was thwarted in his attempt by a most favorable season which caused the year’s crop to’be the biggest in our history. The 1924 crop was‘larger than that of 1922, though the acreage was fifteen per cent less. The acre yield of 1924 was fourteen per cent larger than that of 1923. The result of the favorable potato growing weather was an unfavorable price for the 1924 crop. If the acre .yield last year had been around 100 bushels (the average for the last ten years) the total crop would have been about 366,000,000 bushels. Such a crop would surely have brought a. very much better price and have made the .year’s operations of the efficient pota- to producer profitable. ‘ The potato farmer hasiin mind the returns of the year'just past and will, no deubt, be cautious when he plans his crop for this year. There are large Many growers, including even those who are producing potatoes at a low cost per bushel, have been unduly dis— couraged by the ruinous prices which have been paid in many localities for the 1924 crop. Such growers should bear in mind that much less than the usual acreage of potatoes was grown in 1924 and that the exceptionally heavy production was quite largely the result of favorable weather. On the other hand, the planting of such a large acreage of potatoes as that of 1922 would be a great mistake, for, although a yield per acre as heavy as that of'1924 may not be secured again 3 for quite a number of years, there is reason to expect future yields to av- erage substantially higher than they have in the" past. This means that the needs of the country can be met with fewer acres of potatoes per thousand of population.” While the experiences of the past year will have a tendency ,to cause a reduction in the potato acreage, many farmers are apt to figure in this way and, therefore, conclude that this will be a good potato year. These farmers might increase their acreage. If too many farmers reason in this manner the acreage is apt to be too large and if the season is favorable too large a production again. The safest thing seems to be that of following a‘ pro- duction program for the farm as a. Whole and not attempting to go strong '* on potatoes because of a favorable out- look. The farmer who follows a stable program of production year in and year out is most apt to succeed. Of course, there are times when acreage must be adjusted; but the policy of plunging on any one crop when the price outlook is good is a bad practice. If normal conditions prevail during the coming 'year a potato acreage equal to that of 1924 ought to return a better price than was enjoyed last year. In the commercial regions a great distance from market, the acre— age ought not to be increased mate- .- rially. On the other hand, there seems to be no justification for a material L. J.

Better SOY-BEANS WITH CORN. The usual application is about -200 pounds per acre of ground limestone but many soils would be benefited by‘ more. This amount will correct any acidity in the immediate surface soil and give the alfalfa a chance to make a. healthy start but this plant is a gross feeder of lime and if the soil is naturally. deficient in this element then heavy applications are desirable. The writer knows where as many as eight tons have been used in preparing the land where it was intended to allow the alfalfa to stand for several years. The concensus of opinion is that the Grimm variety is more hardy than most others, but any variety that has been grown in northern states for some years, long enough to have be- come acclimated will “do very well. Late years Russian varieties have been imported and tested and have proven very satisfactory. One variety it is claimed, is fully as hardy, if not hardier, than Grimm. if you can get Michigan grown seed it will be a pretty safe guaranty that it is a hardy, safe variety.

In case the piece of wire is short, as is often the case for clothes lines, the kinks may be removed by tieing one end ‘to a solid post or tree and using a ply pole at the other end and have one or two good men to pull on the pole. In handling a new rope which is apt to, be “twisty” or “kinky,” it is a good idea to straighten out the rope and permit it to untwist. By all means do not use any oil or water as this will only increase the tendency to twist. _ Some farmers think that this is due _ to a lack of oil or something that pre- vents proper turning of the swivel holding the hayfork' pulley. This is not the case, and to oil the swivel will only increase the twisting. It is better to put a handful of fine sand, grit or dust in’ the swivel. Try this and see if the twisting rope does act in a more gentlemanly manner.—~H. I. Holt.

N order to get a new cash crop into their rotation, Chippewa county, Michigan, farmers are going to try out flax this year. This county has for years grown a great deal of excellent hay but the coming of the flivver has tended to destroy the market for this commodity. The work on flax this year will be more or less of an experiment in de- termining the advisability of growing this crop. It is expected that not over a carload will be grown for shipment. It is agreed, by those that profess to know, that Chippewa soils are espe- cially well adapted to the growing of flax, and that if the product can be shipped in carload lets it should yield a fair return to the growers.——Amos.

I - Culinary herbs, of which the leaves are the part used, should be gathered in the morning as soon as the dew is off, and should be dried in the shade where there is a free circulation of air. On_ shelves in dry rooms will be found a good place. When they are thoroughly dry, put them in airtight cans or glass jars and keep in a dry place. If stored before they are per- fectly dry the leaves are likely to mold. They will not keep their strength for any length of time, especially not from year to year, hence a new supply should be grown each yeah—Wt E. Farver. SWEET CORN VARIETI ES, Sweet corn is a garden favorite. No other variety is quite so fine in quality as is the Golden Bantam, and the large bulk] of our planting should be of this sort. To prolong .the season we may make a sowing of the Alpha [or 'an extra early, and Stowell’s Ever- green for the late crop. 11‘ we wish to experiment with others, there is the Charlevoix, a. second early yellow of high quality and the Bantam Ever- green, a high class yellow of a trifle later season. While the old customs are to be followed in planting corn, and without doubt the bulk of our crop will go into the ground around May 15, it often pays to take a chance and sew a small part of our seed two weeks or more earlier. All we risk is our seed, and a little extra. labor, and it often happens that the crop will make, and when it does we are enjoy- ing corn from our garden early in July. We do not wish to leave the impres- sion that the above list contains all of the good varieties. There are many excellent sorts which» we have not mentioned, but we do say that the man who sows the varieties Which we recommend will enjoy the best that there is as far as quality is concerned. We know in addition that all of these varieties are adapted to a large part of Michigan and that they will prove to be entirely satisfactory. We would recommend that the home gardener should try one new vegeta- ble each year. That i, one that is new to the family. We often overlook a good thing in neglecting these. We would include in the list for experi- ment some of the following vegetw bles: Leek, New Zealand Spinach, Kale, Kohl Rabi, Witloof Chicory, Ok- ra, Celeriae, Florence Fennel, and Hamburg parsley, not forgetting also g”!

We, “as good citizens of the United ’States and of Michigan, should direct our energiesat this time towards furthering and re-establishing Michigan’s timber resources. Colonel Graves, of the Yale Forest “School, andi‘ormerly chief forester of the United States, makes‘the follow- ing statement: “While sixty per cent of all our timber lies west of the Great Plains (in Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California), three-fourths of the forest land of the country, together with three-fourths of the population and agriculture and'the greater por- tion of the manufactories, are east of the Great Plains. Taking all the tim- ber species and products together, only twenty-five per cent of the amount cut and destroyed annually is replaced by the current growth. ‘The other seventy-five per cent is an an- nual inroad upon the timber capital of the country. Our normal stand should be about 3,500 billion feet. It is now about 2,200 billion feet and is being decreased at the rate of about 60,000,- 000,000 a year. * * * It is now im- perative that forestry should be given its proper place in the vital affairs of the nation. We cannot adequately pro- vide for our future need except through a great project, conceived, adopted, and appropriated for, as was the Panama Cana .” Michigan has her share of forest iizh'virigizl-AII’Géa ee ¥ . Part e t Offer”: SZau/d T aZe land, some 10,000,000 acres. ’In 1921 Michigan imported 1,500,000,000 feet of timber. She cut 402,000,000 feet. This is a wrong situation. Michigan should grow all the timber she needs for her own use and have some left over for her neighbors. The United States plants less than 40,000 acres a year, while Japan plants 350,000 acres. Taking Colonel Graves’ figures that we use our timber four times as fast as it is produced, it will only take from forty to fifty years before all of our timber will be gone. In Michigan we are planting only about 2,000 acres per year. At that rate it will take over 200 years to plant our state forests, not taking into consideration all of our remaining true forest land. ‘ Let us celebrate American Forest Week by planting an acre, or even a half-acre, to young trees. Pick out a poor spot on the farm or a rough spot and let that idle land be producing something of value to the farm, as well as helping out Michigan’s forest problem. g Forests require no special prepara- tion of the soil and they take no nour- ishment from the soil. Besides this, they thrive where other crops fail. A forest is planted with very little effort. Two men can plant an acre (1,200) trees a day, and after that nature will do the rest. Let’s do our part and stand back of our President in his efforts to conserve our'i‘orests.

ISCARDED automobile crank case oil should not be used for spray- “ing fruit trees and other vegetation for the control of insect pests, according to entomologists at the Ohio Experi- ment Station. Crank case oil is dangerous because it can not be diluted readily with wa— ter and is almost sure to injure the foliage. The oils used for spraying trees are quite different from the oils used in automobiles. They have been treated in such a manner that they mix read— ily with water and they are diluted for using. Discarded crank case oil often con- tains small particles of metal and car- bon which are very likely to cause in— jury to the spray pumps and nozzles and these objections alone would make the use of such oils inadvisable. The main objection to them, however, is the fact that they do not mix read- ily with water, there is no definite rule for dilution, and they usually damage the trees—F. A. M. wI-IY ONTONAGON LEADS. NTONAGON county breeders are beginning to reap. the benefits of a. consistent policy of breeding up their ,grade cattle‘ through the use of pure— bred bulls, One of, the first bull asso- ciations in the state was organized in this county several years ago and a 1 since that time the movement has spread to a large per cent of the dairy- men in the county. During the past year, several car- loads of high-grade cows have been sold from the county at good prices. The cattle went into other counties of the Upper Peninsula, Gogebic county taking two cars, and also into VViscon- sin. That Ontonagon should take first prize in the better sires movement last year is not surprising, and they are leading again this year—Amos. PROTECT THE FLOCKS FROM DIARRHEA. F OR the purpose of securing chicks free from bacillary white diarrhea the seven poultry demonstration farms in Menominee county, Michigan, are having all their flocks tested by the Michigan Agricultural College this spring. In this way, it is hoped that it will become unnecessary to ship in so many chicks each year, taking chances on the dread disease. The experiment station, at Chatham, are trap-nesting and testing their birds and hope in time to have high-produc- ing strains available for breeding pur- poses—Amos.

Rooms looked like the one in the top picture —— dark, gloomy, depressing. Many pieces of furniture, some of them of poor design, uncomfortable-looking and stood about. Ornate wall decorations added to the con— fusion. ' Such rooms are disappearing. To- day women everywhere want cheer- ful surroundings—bright happy homes, attactive rooms to live in and work in-like the one in the lower picture. ' Many farm women haveffound it easy to make this change in their homes. They stored the worst- looking and most useless furniture and knickknacks in the attic and thus gave the remaining fine old furniture space to display its beauty. They made other changes. But the most important thing they did was to paint walls and ceil- ings simply and in tints that lightened and brightened the entire room. And in this work these women were helped by a remarkable interior flat paint. They used it with unusually beautiful results. This new paint is made of white- lead—-itself very old—mixed with a new flatting medium-*Dutch Boy flatting oil. Dutch Boy white-lead, a pure product made from the metal lead, makes with the flatting oil a flat paint that gives new beauty to new walls and greater charm to old favalls and ceilings. Dutch Boy white-lead and Dutch Boy flatting oil gives full protection plaster or wood. It makes interior finishes of rare beauty—finishes like those found in the finest homes in Chase gloom from room—with lead paint to the covered surface, whether it be ' every America. Take this paint, add the proper coloring matter to it, and you can get any tint or shade you desire. Either plain walls or two-tone mottl- ed effects may be had. Besides the beautiful finishes and the protection it gives, this flat paint has other great advantages. It is an economical paint because it has un— usual spreading power and saves the surface for a long, long time. It can be easily cleaned with soap and water without harming its original beauty. It is easy to apply. It can be quickly put on in a smooth, even film that is free from brush marks and laps.

Reynolds Shingle Company “Originator of the Asphalt Shingle” LGrand Rapids, -7 - - Michigan. HE apostles of the early days had sense. More sense than many modern folk,>who are ofii- cials in the church. The leaders were extremely busy with the work of teach- ing, preaching, healing the sick, and holding conversations with inquirers. But they had pooled their‘possessions, as we learned a week or two ago. There were provisions to be bought for a large number of people. Besides, the poor must be helped, for some had joined the Christian band who had no money. The apostles were extremely busy men, trying to do all this. 'lhen presently a complaint was voiced, and we can imagine it was not a mild one. The complainants stated that the, Greeks and other non Jewish people were not being fairly treated by the Jews, in dis- tribution of sup- plies. A large per cent of the early converts were Jews, and they no doubt out-numbered the Gentiles. Many were ex—priests and we may well be— lieve that these men suffered intense persecution from their old associates. The First Our Weekly Sermon—~31! NA. McCune much more. He was an able speaker,-’I an evangelist, a soul with a burning passion for Christ. Consequently he followed the custom of the-times in holding public discussions with the Jews. I These were in the nature of ? arguments probably, in which ques- , tions were asked and answered. He, carried on these discussions especially in one synagogue, it seems It was the synagogue pf the “Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexan- drians; and them of Cilicia and Asia." These Jews from Cyrene and Cilicia, were not a match for Stephen, in these religious discussions. He knew the Old Testament (the only Bible of that time), better than they did, he could ? prove by the prophecies that Christ - was the long-expected Messiah, and, we may well believe, he was a much more fluent speaker than any of them were. OWEVER, there is always a way out. When the other man outdoes you in fair debate, you can, if you are pussilanimus and despicable enough, turn and accuse him behind his back, of crimes of which he is perfectly in- nocent. This was the method at the trial of Christ, and it was the method I of Stephen’s accusers. They could not match wits with him, nor meet him in standard time. problems will be answered. .

HEN this complaint came in Peter decided that the load was getting too heavy. Just as Moses chose assistants, there must be assistants in the case of the early church. Seven men were chosen, “men of good re- port, full of the Spirit and of wisdom.” It is interesting to note that all these were Gentiles, if we can judge by their names. The names are Greek: Steph— en, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, Nicolaus. If this surmise is correct, it shows how eager every- body was to adjust any differences quickly and fully. The Jewish Chris- tians were willing to put the entire matter in the hands of their Gentile brothers. It would have been happy if the church had always followed this course. Suppose every difference in the church had been adjusted quickly, the spirit of the early church, in com- plete good faith and without suspicion. What chapters of dissension, of back- biting, of hurt feelings, of.wrath, of church splits would have been prevent- ed! Some sects would never have been formed. Many churches would never have been organized. Strange things have been done in the name of religion. Apparently there were no members who thirsted for the limelight. “Dio- trephes, who Ioveth to have the pre- eminence "(III John), had not been discovered yet. It is a sign of a heal- thy spiritual state when church mem- bers are willing to take office or not, just as their brothers elect them. To scheme for it is bad, and to refuse it when asked to undertake it, is bad. TEPHE‘N' was one of the seven stewards elected to attend to the church’s business affairs. But he did open discussion, so they sharpened their knives and tipped their arrows with poison. They got up a lynching party. He was accused of talking against Moses and of speaking disrespectfully of. the temple. He was taken before the sanhedrin, the dignified body .of seventy Jewish rabbis. There he made his plea. His speech is preserv- ed in chapter seven. It is a remark- able speech, clear, forceful, rapid. Who preserved it, and where Luke got it, we do not know. But we have a good suspicion that it was preserved by Paul. When Stephen was stoned, the witnesses laid down their gar- ments at the feet of Saul of Tarsus, and it is reasonable to suppose that he heard Stephen’s defense. Now, this speech of Stephen made a deep impression on Paul. In Acts 13:16—41, when he spoke. to the people at Pis- idian Antioch, there are strong ear marks of Stephen’s address. Again in other places in Paul’s letters, the ad dress of Stephen shows its influenCe. ND that is not surprising. Follow- ' ing the address in his own de— fense, Stephen was stoned to death. Paul consented to the lynching. \Vhen that bolt of lightning struck him on the way to Damascus, do you not imagine that the first thought that came to him was that Stephen’s blood was on him? Perhaps this accounts, too, for which he gave himself. He had to do two men’s work. He had to make up for the man to whose death he had consented.

The fields are worked and planted—— The oats ’re in the ground, The orchard buds are swelling, And the bees begin their round. Then you putter ’round the tool house With a happy whistlin’ sound, For the warm spring arin is falling 0n the seed that’s in the ground. I have had FXDI"I‘iF‘llC9, bitter-sweet ex- perienCe. I have known the battle. See, here are my scars. I can bring to your classrooms much that is val- uable. I ask only for bread—the bread of knowledge.” And the University gave them it stone. “Get on to the hat!” said Classifieds, humorously, crossing the campus. “A fright!" The professors found them a shade loo eager, perhaps; too inquiring; de‘ manding too much. They stayed after class and asked innumerable ques- tions. The)” bristled with interroga- tion. They Were prone to hold forth in the classroom, “Well. I have found it to be the case in my experience that—” ‘ But: the professor preferred to do the lecturing himself. If there was to be any experience related it should come from the teacher’s platform, not the student's chair. Besides, this sort of thing interfered with the routine; kept you from covering ground fast enough. The period bell rang, and there you Were, halfway through the day’s prescribed lesson. In his first year Dirk made the al- most fatal mistake of being rather friendly with one of these Unclassi- fieds—r' a female Unclassified. A large, good—lntmored. plump’girl, about thir— ty—eighl, Willi a shiny skin which She never powdered and thick hair that exuded a disagreeable odor of oil. She was sympathetic and jolly, but her clothes were a fright, the Classifieds flc'tz'tvz'tz'ex of Amer—A Nerw Prod/am [71 M i/xé Dirz‘rz‘éuzz'mz pages 256 to 273 in 'Blaine’s; 549 to 567 in Jaeckel; and the’ first eleven——no, twelve-—pages of Trowbridge’s report. That’ll give you practically everything you need.” .. Dirk was grateful. Her notes were always copious, perfect. She never hesitated to let him copy them. They got in the way of walking out of the classroom together, across the cam- pus. She told him something of her- self. “Your people. farmers!” Surprised. she looked at his well-cut clothes, his slim, strong. unmarked hands, his smart shoes and cap. “Why, so are mine. Iowa.” She pronounced it Ioway. “I lived on the farm all my life till I was twenty—seven. I always wanted to go away to. school, but we never had the money and I couldn’t come to town to earn because I was the oldest, and Ma was sickly after Emma—that’s the youngest—there are nine of us—was born. Ma was anx- ious I should go and Pa was willing, but it couldn’t be. No fault of theirs. One year the summer would be so hot, with no rain hardly from spring till fall, and the corn would just dry up on the stalks, like paper. The next year it would be so wet the seed would rot in the ground. Ma died when I was twenty-six. The kids were all pretty well grown up by that time. Pa mar- ried again in a year and I went to Des ‘Moines to work. I stayed there six years but I didn’t save much on account of my brother. He was kind of wild. He had come to Des Moines, teacher Pa Waste and Aggie ' «that’s the second wife—didn't get along. I came to Chicago about-five year ago. I’ve done all kinds of work, I guess, except digging in a coal mine. I’dhave done that if I'd had to.” She told him all this ingenously, simply. Dirk felt drawn toward her. sorry for her. Hiswas a nature quie I to sympathy. Something she said .ow stirred him while it bewildered hi ti. “You can’t have any. idea whit it means to me to be here . . . All those years! I used to dream about it. Even now it seems to me it car 1: be true. I’m conscious of my surround- ings all the time and yet I can’t be- lieve them. You know, like when you are asleep and dream about something beautiful, and then wake up and find- it’s actually true. I get a thrill out of just being here. ‘I’m crossing the campus,’ I say to myself. ‘I’m a stud- ent—a‘ girl student—in Midwest ‘Tni- versity and now I’m crossing the elm- pus of my university to go to a class.’ ” , Her face was very greasy‘and ear- nest and-fine. - “Well, that’s great,” Dirk replied, weakly. “That’s cer’nly great.” He told his mother about her. Usu‘ ally he went home on Friday nights to stay until Monday morning. His first Monday-morning class was not until ten. Selina was deeply interested and stirred. “Do you think she’d spend some Saturday and Sunday here with us on the farm? She could come with you on Friday and go back Sunday night if she wanted to. Or stay until Monday morning and go back with you. There’s the spare room, all quiet and cool. She could do as she liked. I’d give her cream and all the. fresh fruit and vegetables she wanted. And Meena would bake one of her fresh cocoanut cakes. I’d have Adam bring a fresh cocoanut from South Water Street.” Mattie came one Friday night. It was the end of October, and Indian summer, the most beautiful time of the. year on the Illinois prairie. A mellow golden light seemed to suffuse every— thing. It was as if the very air were liquid gold, and tonic. The squash and pumpkins next the good brown earth gave back the gold, and the frost-turn- ed leaves of the maples in the sun. About the cOuntryside for miles was the look of bounteousness, of plenty, of prophecy fulfilled as when a beam tiful and fertile woman having borne her children and found them good, now sits serene—eyed, gracious, ample- bosomed, satisfied. Into the face of Mattie Schwengauer aside, “But I thought you said she and Selina clasped hands Selina stared at her rather curiously, as though startled. Afterward she said to Dirk aside, “But I thought you said she was ugly!” “Well, she is, ormwell, isn’t she?” “Look at her!” Mattie Schwengauer was talking to Meena Bras, the houseworker. She was standing with her hands on her ample hips, her fine head thrown back, her eyes alight, her lips smiling so that you saw her strong square teeth. (Continued on page 575).

OOKING heat thrown out in, to the kitchen means a three’ times/arday drain on your time and temper. Cooking heat that goes straight to the bottom of the kettle will give you the best cooking re” sults in the least amount of time. That‘s the working principle of the Florence—the oil range with focused heat. Specially designed burners send the heat directly into the cooking, where you want it. Naturally, this more efficient stove helps you cook better meals. The certainty and the simplicity of the Florence cut out all the guess/ work. You can have the right heat —where you want it—at the turn of a lever. To start the Florence you have only to turn a lever, touch a match to the asbestos kindler, and the range is ready to cook your dinner. Florence kitchens are cool in summer No use to hope for a cool kitchen if your cooking stove throws much of the heat out into the room. The Florence uses the heat for cooking and leaves the kitchen cool—a pleasant place to work on a hot summer day. Your first glimpse of the Flore ence will tell a story of service and beauty. The sturdy frame is built for years of hard use; the shining enamel means just as many years of This cut-away view shows how the blue flame of the Florence goes straight to the cooking. The heat is focused just where you want it for quick cooking. /‘—o ‘5 I ‘ \ " ' ”limb". LU 13, mi; . ‘9‘?" * ..~r' u v good looks.

How it lights at a turn of the lever and a touch of a match to the clean asbestos kindler. No wicks to trim. Let her tell you how reasonable the Florence is in its demands for kerosene—~one of the cheapest fuels known, and one that is always easy to obtain. Or —‘ go to the nearest department, furniture, or hardware store and look the Florence over. The Florence Leveler is one of the Florence‘s many refinements—a device on each leg, which overcomes any unevenness in the floor.

She laughed. It was the laugh of a young girl, care- free, relaxed, at ease. ' For two days Mattie did as she pleased, which meant she .helped pull vegetables in the garden, milk the cows, saddle the horses; rode them without a saddle in the pasture. She tramped the road. She scuttled through the leaves in the woods, wore a scarlet maple leaf in her hair, slept like one gloriously dead from ten until six; ate prodigiously of cream, fruits, vegeta- bles, eggs, sausage, cake. “It got so I hated to do all those things on the farm,” she said, laugh- ing a little shamefacedly. “I guess it was because I had to. But now it comes back to me and I enjoy it be- cause it’s natural to me, I suppose. Anyway, I’m having a grand time, Mrs. DeJong. The grandest time I ever had in my life.” Her face was radiant and almost beautiful. “If you want me to believe that,” said Selina, “you’ll come again.” But Mattie Schwengauer never did come again. ~- Early the next week one of the uni- versity students approached Dirk. He was a Junior, very influential in his class, and a member of the fraternity to which Dirk was practically pledged. A decidedly desirable frat. “Say, look here, DeJong, I want to talk to you a minute. Uh, you’ve got to cut out that girl—Swinegour or whatever her name is—or it’s all off with the fellows in the frat.” “What d’you mean! Cut out! What’s the matter with her!” (Continued next week). RURAL HEALTH By Dr. C. H. Lerrigo THE JAUNDICED BABY. ANY 3. young mother has been driven to much worry because her baby has become jaundiced. The yellow color of the skin and eyes comes on somewhere in the first five days of life and usually lasts about a week. It does no harm unless the mother becomes alarmed and begins to dose the baby and herself with var- ious “liver” medicines. Almost half the babies born have this jaundiced condition to some ex- tent.‘ It is due to the fact that the baby starts life with an excessive amount of bile pigment in the blood. It takes only a few days adjustment to get this absorbed, and conditions soon revert to normal if nature is left alone. In babies that are “premature” this state of jaundice, is a little more obstinate and a little slower to yield. The particular thing that I want to emphasize to young mothers is that this jaundiced appearance, coming in the first few days of life, in a oaby apparently well, is not one about. which she need worry. The worst thing I that she can do is to begin to dose her- Sell‘ and the baby with calomel or oth- er “liver medicine” under the mistak- en idea that such treatment will be helpful in carrying off the bile. If the doctor is still in attendance his atten- tion should be called to the baby’s color, but he will simply tell you that it is “normal jaundice” and that the only thing to do is to wait about a week and let it clear away. Of course, if the baby is manifestly ill, the case assumes a different aspect and you may know that some complication is present. BABY IS TONGUE-TIED. Will an operation be necessary to cure a tongue-tied baby? How can it be recognized?—~D. D. An experienced person— can easily tell tongue-tie by looking at a baby’s tongue. The doctor in attendance at the birth usually notices the defect and should do a little operation to re- lieve it. This is best done within a day or two after birth. 17%77 DODGE-BROTHERS COACH A popular and attractive addition to Dodge" Brothers line of motor cars.

You will learn all over again that there is nothing like the joy of living. The glorious expanse, of [beauty—green 'fields and yellow? dandelions; the euphony of the birds,i as their voices blend in perfect, rhythm, does the vital thing of making’ you forget yourself. What is more harmonious than the cooing of the robin or bluebird? Do you think for one minute that the wren ever tires of telling Jenny how lovely she is? Don’t you think the caroling of the blackbirds, and the “come here” of the red bird is prettv iard to beat? Then, too, there is the twilight con— cert which should not be forgotten—— the plaintive note of the whip—poor-will and the pious, deacon—like note of the hermit thrush. , To me, there is nothing sweeter in nature than the crooning of birds as the breezes direct them to the call of their new-found mates. During the' regular regime of housework—to listen to them lightens our work immeasur- ably.

O we as farm mothers know legis- lation as it affects our rural con- ditions? Not only should we be famil- iar with it for our own benefit, but because of the young people in our homes and in our communities. An old Oriental Proverb says, “An educated man is an educated individ- ual, but an educated woman is an edu- cated household.” And a Spanish Proverb says, “An ounce of mother is "worth a pound of clergy.” In both instances the fact is recog- nized that we mothers are responsible for the mental, moral and spiritual at? titude of the young people, especially given into our care by God. We moth- ers set the standard for the home. A county agent made this broad~-state- ment: “We men are what you make us. Before marriage we are what our mothers make of us, and after mar- riage what our wives make of us.” Do we assume these responsibilities lightly? A nation taught the duty of citizenship at mothers’ knees would have a. high standard, a wonderful ideal to work for. This is something you and I can do, my sisters, without stepping over our threshold. Let us be up and deing. Let us also impress upon young minds the fact that honest labor brings a rich reward. Let us also impress on them the dignity of work on the farm. We. farmers are reaping today the seed sown by our fathers. We are sowing for future generations. Have a care for the crop to follow. Forget sob stuff, stand up in the harness and ask for a square deal. A few words’of Edgar Guest are particularly suitable: “It’s good to do the hard job, for it’s good to play the man, For the hard job strengthens courage Which the easy never can; And the hard job when. it’s over, gives the man a broader smile, For it brings the joy of knowing that You’ve done the thing worth while”, -'—-A Farmer’s Wife. A WOMAN DID IT. I. The C. M. Kittle prize of $1,000 for the grand champion ear in the nation wide seed corn tests made in Chicago, was won by Mrs. Elsie M. Paluska, of Illinois. Just five years ago Mr. and Mrs. Pulaska started on their matri- monial career in Morgan county, Illi- nois, with only 25 in the family cofc fers. Mrs. Pulas a learned 'of her win- ning on the fifth anniversary of their wedding, and the money came just in time to pay the final farm debt. Make Plans for Music Week URAL communities and small towns are expected to form one of the strongest links in the chain of National Music Week which is to be observed again throughout the country on May 3-9. Churches, schools, musical societies, women’s clubs, boys’ and girls’ clubs, and farm groups of all kinds~0rganizations directly con- cerned with music, and those not di- rectly concerned, but understanding its importance—are to contribute each in its own way, to the joint effort to impress upon the public what music can do as a comfort, a stimulus, a nerve-steadying force and a companion to man in his werk and play, in his home and in the social unit. That; rural participation in National Music Week is earnestly desired is indicated by the fact that the National Music Week Committee includes rep- resentatives of three national organi- zations concerned with rural life. These representatives are Kenyon L. Butterfield, president of the American Country Life Association; 0. E. Brad- fute, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, and L. J. Taber, national master of the National Grange. State farm bureau federa-' tions are stimulating rural participa- tion in their respective states, and the granges are also lending their supperts locally. State Extension Directors are» stressing the use of music in commu- nity life during that week, and state superintendents of instruction are ar— ranging for the participation of the rural schools. A music hour in the home is sug- gested for every family. The musical talents of the family groups are there- in supplemented by music from me- chanical instruments and by family singing around the piano or organ. Households having a radio receiving set may invite their neighbors to join them in listening to the special Music Week programs over the radio. Even though these radio programs do not develop one of the central ideas of Music Week —— self-expression —— they form a community of spirit through the joint listening. The great central thought of Nation- al Music Week is that everyone can participate, whether it be to step across the street to hear in person the famous stars sing grand opera in the great metropolitan centers, or to have recourse to the phonograph or radio; whether it be at a. community sing at which all turn out, or as amember of J. family groupeof' two or three in the home. The pleasure is increased by the consciousness that one iraTn in- tegral part of the great music wave which gathers momentum a8»'it-travele across the country; ' " v... .A.’ . b.0mw.~..«,.. - M». -w.wvc‘_.‘.W" .~ ~ an,“ i ..

He always took his afternoon nap out at the end of the old willow tree that had fallen into the pond down in Frog Pond Hol- low. “Oh, hum, hum!” said Sir Tommy Turtle as he yawned and stretched himself. “And what are you humming about this fine day?” asked a voice even farther out toward the end of the old willow tree than Sir Tommy Turtle dared to go. Sir Tommy Turtle was surprised when he saw Sir Frisky‘Frog beside’ him, for he had been all—alone when he climbed out there to take his nap. “You lazy fellow,” said Sir Frisky Fr'og. “You have slept so long that the sun has taken the sunshine from you and left you in the shade.” “Indeed, it is time I was awake and about.

But he knew he would be tired before he reached their goal. So he hopped behind a little stone and waited until Sir Tommy came along. When Sir Tommy Turtle was right oppositehim, he made a big hop and landed right on the turtle’s back. Of course, old Tommy Turtle’s back was so hard and Sir Frisky Frog was so Small that the turtle never felt the frog at all.

When they were nearly to the goal Sir Frisky Frog made another big hop and landed right at the goal, just a wink of time before Sir Tommy. But Frisky had made such a big jump he couldn’t see where he was going to jump. He landed right on a brier, that went through his big- gest toe.

'(antlnuediroii‘i. page; 561). ‘ ,j‘ when the hatch was completed, we put them backw‘lth their mother. We fed them the same as ducklings, excepting that we fedsome hard dry bread cut into tiny bits. '1 It- seems that goslings like this for their first meal, but later it is eliminated altogether. We did not confine our goslings at all. but let them have free range with their moth- er. It is advisable to leave—the gander with the geese for the reason that he protects the‘little goslings from harm. We have seen the gander peck a. hog's snoot until it was bleeding, because the hog tried to snap one of the duck- lings as well as some of the goslings. For the first two weeks or so, we keep up a feed of cornmeal mash, but later dispensed with it. The goslings have plenty of water and the only attention from any harm for the night. When my first hatch of ducklings came off the geese~were all setting and so, of course, the gander was out on the pasture and he immediately took the little ,ducklings and led them around, and he even brought them to the barn in the evenings. However, when his little goslings came out, he would fight the ducklings. Give your ducklings and goslings a. plain, simple feed—no fancy feeds, plenty of clean water, and freedom of range. Never fence in your ducklings or goslings unless you can fence in a large piece. Ducks or goslings do not do well in confinement. Perhaps that is why a lot of your readers are hav- ing difficulty. It should be remember- ed that in every hatch of goslings there is always one or more goslings lame. Only one of my lame goslings died, the other two seem to be coming along nicely, though they wobble around something terrible. I noticed that someone said that cornmeal may cause leg weakness, and you will note that we’have fed our ducklings entirely on a cornmeal mash and I have yet to see my ducklings affected with leg weakness. In my opinion, leg weakness is caused by too close confinement and not enough ex~ ercise. Ducklings are" very easy to raise. The essentials, in my opinion, to in- sure success is plenty of free range, moderate feeding and water that is clean and fresh. If B. M. S. will allow free range for her next hatch, feed them moderately, no matter what mash she uses, I think she will notice a dif- ference. If she will ,allow her duck- lings free range she will notice early in the morning and evening that the little things are continuously running and gaping up. Do you know what they are doing? Well, sir, they are catching little flies and mosqutoes and bugs. When Mother Nature can do things better than we can, why not let Mother Nature attend to it all? I have thought of allowing one hatch the freedom of range, not feeding them one single grain. I fully believe they would do as well as those we feed. HOME-MADE MASH HOPPER. Will R. G. Kirby please give full in- structions on how to build feed hop- pers, also tell me what dry mash is composed of?~J. O. U. The formulas “for dry mash vary, as different poultry breeders some- times prefer special mashes of their own composition. For example, a good dry mash consists of 100 pounds each of corn meal, ground oats, mid- dlings, bran and beef scrap. The com- mercial mashes usually contain most of the above items and some of them contain dried buttermilk, fish scrap, ground alfalfa or other items which they consider useful in furnishing hens with a balanced ration for egg produc- tion. ;. ."w’ Good dry mash feeders can be made from strong packing boxes. Sketch the style of hopper you Wish on the ends of the box and saw it out on the lines marked. The material removed we give them now is to put them away, V: o e i e '0 ' " "D Put this in the drinking water \ w If you are one“ of theman‘y readers who are losmg baby chicks read this letter received from Mary I. Vincent, of Sweet Water, Ala. She says: 1 “I used a package of Avicol and was so well pleased with it that I hardly know how to say enough for it. It beats all I ever saw. Before I ‘used it, I was losing half my hotels. I haven't lost a one since. . I don’t: think I ever be without Avicol if i can help it." There’s .. no ~doubt that rAvicol is twonderful both for preventing and stopping disease in baby chicks. It has a specific action as a bowel antiseptic and regulator. Usually within 48 hours, the sick, droopy chicks are lively as crickets. A liberal supply of these tablets can be obtained by sending fifty cents to The Burrell- r Co.. 540 Allen St. Indianapolis, Ind. As Avicol is positively guaranteed to do the work or money refunded, it costs nothin to try. Readerrwin be surprised at the way chicks grow and develop, in vigorous health. when these tablets are used in the drinking water.

Diarrhea Mrs. -.Rhoades’ letter will no doubt be of utmost interest to poultry raisers who have had. serious losses from White- Diarrhea. We' will let Mrs. Rhoades tell it in her own words: '4 “Gentlemen: .I see reports of so many losing-,their little chicks with White Diarrhea, So thought I would tell my experience. ‘My first incubator chicks when but a few days old, began to die by the dozens with White Diar- rhea. I tried different remedies and was about discouraged with the chick- en business. Finally, I sent to the Walker Remedy 00., Dept 508, Water- loo, Ia., for a $1.00 box of their Walko White Diarrhea Remedy. It’s just the only thing for this terrible disease. We ‘aised 700 thrifty, healthy chicks and never lost a single chick after the first dose.”—Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenan- doah, Iowa. Cause of White Diarrhea W'hite Diarrhea is caused by the Bac- illus Bacterium Pullorum. This germ is transmitted , to the baby chicks through the yolk of the newly hatched egg. Readers are warned to- beware of White Diarrhea. Don’t wait until it kills‘ half your chicks. Take the “stitch in time that saves nine.” Re- member, there is scarcely a hatch With- out some infected chicks. Don’t let these few infect your entire flock. Pre- vent it. Give Walko in all drinking water for the first two weeks and you won’t lose one chick where you lost hundreds before. These letters prove it: Never Lost a Single Chick Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek, Ind., writes: “I have lost my share of chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally I sent for two packages of Walko. I raised over 500 chicks and I never lost a single chick from White Diarrhea. Walko not only prevents White Diar- rhea, but it gives the chicks strength and vigor; they develop quicker and feather earlier.” Never Lost One‘Aiter First Dose Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw writes: “I used to lose a great many chicks from White Diarrhea, tried many 'remedies and was about discouraged. As a last resort I sent to the Walker Remedy Co., Dept. 508, Waterloo, Iowa, for their Walko White Diarrhea Remedy. I used two 50c packages, raised 300 White Wyan- dottes and never lost one or had one sick after giving the medicine and my chickens are larger and healthier than ever before. I have found this com- pany thoroughly reliable and always get the remedy by return mail.”—Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw, Beaconsfield, Iowa.

If‘you‘ wish anjoutdoor hopper, cover the roof with tar paper and have the roof pro ject out War the trough to keep out the rain. If a little rain beats in dur- ing’ severe storms the birds will clean up and "moistened mash before it spoils. Make the trough iii front deep enough so the feed will not be scratch- ed out by the birds. The most simple feeders made from boxes have the trough on one side only. A sheet of galvanized iron curved around the bot- ’tom of the hopper helps to make the mash slip down readily. PROBABLY TUBERCULOSIS. In a flock of seventy hens there are about a dozen hens which are lame on one foot, act weak but eat good. When examining the insides of them, I find in some cases the liver very much enlarged, and filled with white, hard spots, small, and large. Also find them on intestines. Is this tubercu- losis? If so please tell me what to do with eggs and hens.-—A. The symptoms of lameness, emacia- tion and white spots on the liver sug- ‘gest tuberculosis and it will pay to have a veterinarian inspect the flock and make recommendations. As a usual thing only hens in a fair state of health produce eggs, so the eggs you are receiving from the flock are probably from healthy birds and not from the ,weak ones. Isolate all sick birds at once. In regard to marketing the flock for meat the veterinarian can tell best which carcasses are all right and which should be burned. TH E EGG CONTEST. HE Rhode Island Reds from the West Neck Poultry Farm, Long Is- land, led the Michigan International Egg Laying contest with 1,105 eggs. The White Leghorns from the Royal Hatchery, Zeeland, Mich, comes sec- ond with 1,061 eggs to its credit. Third on the list is the pen of Barred Rocks belonging to F'. E. Fogle, East Lansing. This pen has produced 1,012 eggs. During the month of March the con- test birds as a whole, had a 52.74 per cent production, or an average of 16.29 eggs per bll‘d. The Brown and Wlhite Leghorns were the best layers, aver- aging 17.9 eggs per bird. The high pen for the month were Leghorns belonging to the St. Johns Poultry Farm, of Missouri. It had :1 production of 257 eggs. The highest individual hen produced came from the Winter Egg Farm, of Canada. HENS DIE SUDDENLY. I have 350 chickens, have a coop 20x50, with windows and curtains on the south side. They Were all hatched last spring. They look fine, nice red combs, lay lots of eggs. Used electric lights on them last winter. Not a sick fowl in the bunch. I feed a dry mash, also skim—milk in a galvanized trough, wheat, oats and buckwheat in the lil— ter, some ear corn on the ear. 1 find them dead on the floor, crop partly filled. Have been losing some all winter. They have plenty of wa- ter:«C. E. B. In a flock of 350 hens there would naturally be an occasional loss at in- tervals during the winter, as hens are subject to a normal death rate the same as other birds and animals. If this is not above five or ten per cent for the year it is not considered ser- ious. The sudden deaths may be due to apoplexy or internal ruptures caus- ed by the strain of heavy laying dur— ing the spring. When the hens are first turned out in the spring be sure there is no spoil— ed feed or decayed animal matter on the range to which they have access. Be sure they have a balanced ration so they will not fill up on dry grass and other indigestible material'which may clog the crop. "Perform a post— mortem on the hens that die and it may give some clue as to the cause of Large package contains about two and one-third times as much as small. _ the trouble. des andiétOpcan be need i Six , hens have died in the last three days. ‘: -« 21—57% BABY? “(illicit {'33: passenger: Eckhard and Tom Barron W.

W DILIGENT HATCHERY 8t PULLET FARM. V Dear Uncle Frank: . buttons? I, like some of the rest, have lost mine. it for the last‘ two weeks. First, when we were playing ball, I fell and frac- tured my collar bone, and then (the next day pneumonia set in. That was the thirteenth of February and I haven’t gone back to school yet, and won’t for another week. Well, I guess I will. have to close—Your nephew, Wilbur Younker, Lapeer, Mich. ‘ Yes, members of the Merry Circle who have lost theirs can get another button for ten cents. Friday the thir- teenth was certainly unlucky for you, wasn’t it? ~ Dear Uncle Frank: It’s only poor me, so don’t be fright- ened. I answered a. couple of contests Robert Hunt’s First Rifle and the First Rabbit he Got with It. but fate usually happened along and “swish,” my paper was.in the waste I guess we had better have a. picnic as Barbara Paul suggested. It’s a. good plan all right, and Belle Isle can’t be beat for that suggestion. I also agree to what Eva. Sanderson has to say. I have also found some dear friends through the M. C.—Your loving niece, Erna VVermer, Engadine,’ Mich. I am glad you have made good friends through the Merry Circle. It would be nice to have a picnic at Belle Isle, but only a. few of us could go. - Dear Uncle Frank: I don’t agree with Jacqueline Stev- en’s statement that there is a sound if a. tree falls, with no man or animal near to hear it. I always believed that until my brother proved to me that it wasn’t so. From Other Dear Uncle Frank: I am sending a. small contribution to your Radio Fund for the consump- tive children at Howell. My two youngsters, while not old enough t6 do any Merry Circle contests, are quite interested in the pictures, etc., on that page, and so, when I explained to them the pictures of the sick children and the reason they were in the paper, they wanted to send something. As their birthdays come at this time they decided to send their birthday money, which equals thirty cents. From what you have said about it I feel sure even this small amount will be acceptable. (All amounts glady received—U. F.) Speaking for myself, I think it is a. very‘commendable thing for the chil- dren of the country to give'for such a purpose. Howell is my native town, but it has been several years since 1’ have known much about the sanitar- Do you still sell the Merry Circle, I-have been having a double dose 8f . Webster defines a sound as “the ef- fect of animpr'ession made’on the or: gene of hearing by an impulse or vi- bration of the air caused» by a. 001- lision of bodies.” . ' When the tree falls it“ makes waves- caused by its striking the ground. Ac- cording to my school physiology, these waves-strike the outer membrane of the ear drum in‘ the-ear and make. it move the chain of bones in the middle ear. The bones then move the inner membrane so that it makes waves in the fluid of the inner ear to strike on the organ of hearing. The feeling- aroused by the waves is carried by the nerve of hearing to the brain, which has learned to know the mean- ing of each wave. ‘ . I know I quoted .a. great deal, but- our teacher told us once when we were having a. debate, that the best way to prove anything was to quote from authorities.-—-Your niece, Doris Badger, Sherwood, Mich. You have a. correct idea of sound, I believe. At least the scientists ex- plain sound as you have. Dear Uncle Frank: I wrote about‘a. million letters and never saw any in print. You lazy fel- low, why do you give all of them to W. B.? But, anyway, I’ll try, try again. How are all the M. C.’s? Say, Uncle Frank, why don’t you wake up and print all the love letters you get? WelluI must close or you might give me a kick. Ha! Ha! Ha! Uncle Frank, I’ll keep on your trail until you print my letter. I’m sending you your picture, so look it over, you silly fool. —Your niece, Viola. Yaroch, Port Aus- tin, Mich. Thanks for the compliments. You really flatter me. Who said I got any such letters?

But finally the oldest gave as- sistance'and I was again free. By gum, I’ll never cut any such caper again. One time us kids found a baby blue- bird that had-a broken wing, so we took it home but li’l dumbell wouldn’t eat and soon died. My oldest sister lined a. match box with cotton and put the bird in it. We covered it with rose petals, just enough so as to see his head. Then she put it on a. chair and we all walked up to it and looked at it, then went back and sat down and bawled. Yes, sir, we actually bawled! (No boys were invited). Af- ter we quit that, we buried it and sang the first verse and chorus of “March- ing Thru’ Georgia? It makes me laugh now when I think of it.——-Edith King— don, Traverse City, Mich.

By Verb HE parents of today-rare “bring- . ing up” the parents of tomor- row. ‘They certainly have a great responsibility resting upon them. , ’ ‘ ' This is an age of jazz and it may well be called,.“The Juvenile Jazz to Jail,” as an article in a late issue of a current magazine defines it. Think of it; the greatest number of cm'mes are committed by persons between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five. Isn’t it horrible, childrenLtO think that we are in that class? Who is to~blame? What is the matter with the home? A great deal, I would say, when inves- tigations bring forth such startling facts! There are today, more things to draw the young folks from home. Au- tomobiles and movies helped to do this. Really, some young people think of home as their boarding house; where they eat and sleep. But both movies and cars have been a great aid to Americans. There certainly are some very good movies, but they should not be attended every night. Some children, after seeing a movie or reading a book, fancy there is an- other world awaiting them and leave home, thinking they will have better opportunities for advancement else- ‘where. Farm help is very, very scarce because of the high wages paid in the cities. The farmers cannot afford to pay them. The home lacks moral discipline. The children are not taught right from wrong. They should be made to obey. That is one great trouble the youth of today do as they please. Some people are too strict and this is just as bad. It drives them from home. When the children of an ultra-strict family be- come their own boss they naturally go to the other extreme. The children of too strict parents go wrong as well as those of too lenient parents. The parents fail to set an example for their youngsters. They are such pleasure lovers themselves that they care not what becomes of their chil- dren. Small children mimic their el< ders. \\'atch a child play school. It will go through the same movements as teacher. It will say and act like other people. The parents should be a living pattern of honor for their chil- dren to look upon as their ideals. The fathers and mothers do not un- derstand their children. They forget they were ever young. I read a story recently of a small boy who loved the things of nature. His parents thought him queer and punished him for some experiment he performed. Later he became. a great naturalist. It is a wonder God trusts small children with some people. Some parents. think education, reading and athletics are all bosh. Why wouldn‘t children who are kept under such re- strictions leave home? Athletics are essential to develop the body. Every'boy and girl should read a great deal. It broadens the mind. Don your skirts or knickers. take a good hike across country, with a delicious lunch, and good book to read in some shady nook. Nature, is wonderful. As Bryant says, nature . makes one who is sad happy; one is happy happier. Let’s have more of the {rank fire- side dISCUssionS, closer companionship with each other. Inspire the children so that they will have higher ideals; some aim in life. Of course, children do not all like the same kind of pleass ures. Most of the common and popu- lar pleasures can be made wholesome and pure, if how, when and where are observed. " THE AD CONTEST WINNERS. HERE must have been something 4 the matter with this contest, At least, only one had all the answers , correct and he did not havethem as M alt/er short as he should. Most of the con» testants failed on question number one. Number five was also a stumb- ling block. Aside from the first prize winner, I had to pick those most correct and most neat for the rest of the prizes. The response to this contest was not as great as we usually have for this type of contest. are getting tired of this kind of con- test. The winners are as follows: Fountain Pens. Melville Jacobs, Snover, Mich. Beatrice M. Hanis, Perkins, Mich. Dictionaries. Helen Landis, Gregory, Mich. Carson Nelson, Filion, Mich. Mary Bishop, R. 1, Cloverdale, Mich. Knives. Mable Harrison, Manton. Mich. Elmer E. Fry, Bentley, Mich. Cathline Smith, Fowlerville, Mich. Juila A. Wojnarkiewiz, R. 2, Niles, Mich. Hazel McMahon, R. 2, Beaverton, Mich. Correspondence Scmmé/e BELIEVE that another Correspond- ence Scramble is in order. In fact, several have asked for another, so here it is. Undoubtedly most of you know how these are run, but for the few who do not, the following directions are giv- en: Write a letter to “Dear Unknown Friend” or “Dear Merry Circler.” Put this letter in an envelope addressed to Uncle Frank, Michigan Farmer, Detroit, Michigan. Also include with the letter a stamped envelope address- ed to yourself. When the letters are scrambled, yours will be put in somebody else’s envelope and another letter put in yours, and mailed out. These letters will be scrambled May 2, so be sure that yours gets in in time. AD CONTEST ANSWERS. OLLOWING are 4 the correct an- swers to the Ad Contest which appeared in the issue 01‘ April 11: 1.

WHEAT The wheat market was a distinct disappointment last week. Prices ral- lied sharply as a result of the extreme- ly bullish report on winter wheat and seemed to be prepared for a further upward trend, then lost ground even faster than they had gained it, and closed the week with a strong rally. In spite of recent rains, the condition of winter wheat shows no great re— covery compared with three weeks ago. Spring wheat is getting an un- usually fine start on both sides of the international line, but rains are need- ed and this condition may come to .the front if it is not relieved soon. In gen- eral, the outlook does not yet suggest a big world crop this year, but it IS good enough to induce caution on the part of buyers whenever prices rise sharply. RYE The rye market was also a disap- pointment. The visible supply increas— ed slightly in spite of fairly large ex- ports. Additional large sales for ex- port were reported on the break at the close of the week. Stocks will prob- ably shrink fairly rapidly during the next two months, but, until they do, buyers will see but little reason for following advances. CORN Corn prices averaged higher than in the preceding week, but has declin- ed sharply again. Primary rece1pts have been extremely small, but distrib- uting demand failed to follow the sharp advance from the low point-two weeks ago. The reactionary tone in wheat also was a bearish influence. \Vhile the demand for corn is less than usual at this season of the year, the movement from the country has been so small that good-sized decreases are being made‘in the visible supply from week to week. Stocks at terminals in- clude'a good deal of low grade corn which must be moved into consump- tive channels before hot weather, and this causes occasional pressure on the cash market. OATS Oats prices are showing fair strength as the demand for cash oats is broader than a month or two ago, but they are not gaining on corn. The visible supply is decreasing steadily but the total is still so large that the market is under a heavy load, espe- cially since the time for deliveries on May contracts is close at hand. A lit- tle export business has been done, but Canada still seems able to supply most of the foreign demand. . SEEDS Seed markets were active last week with prices steady to higher. In many markets, sales exceeded those of the corresponding period a year ago. Stocks are, dwindling fast with sup- plies of domestic red clover and alsike practically exhausted. Timothy prices advanced in most markets as a result of the improved demand. The seeding season is about over and this market will soon be “in the doldrums.” . FEEDS The feed markets have improved al- though sales are far below normal for this season. Production of wheat feeds is light and prices strengthened slight- ly under the better demand. Spring weather prevails generally throughout the middle west and the approaching grass season keeps dealers conserva- tive in their trading. HAY Smaller receipts of hay failed to strengthen prices last week due to the limited demand. Good quality hay is very scarce and commands a premium over prevailing prices. Ordinary hay moved more readily on account of the scarcity of top grades, but low grades are practically unsalable even at sub- stantial discounts. Little improve- ment in prices for this hay is to be expected as the good-sized stocks left on farms which fall argely into_this class would be pressed on the market as soon as prices showed signs of strength. Recent rains in the south- west have greatly improved the new hay crop prospects. POULTRY AND EGGS Fresh egg prices are higher although supplies are liberal and the heavy spring holiday demand is over. Coun- try markets have been‘~ relatively stronger than the distributing centers . which has Contributed to'the' market’s strength. Primarys cost have been reduced but are still out of’line. ,Re— ceipts at the four leading markets so far this year have been more than 15 per cent larger than in the same time last year. The season started earlier than last year which accounts in part for the large receipts. Storage of eggs this spring has been large. Holdings on April 1 were 1,156,000 cases, nearly twice as many as on the same date a year ago, and the largest on record on April 1 with one exception.

Live poultry, broilers 55@65c; heavy hens 320; light hens 27@280; roosters 200; geese 180; ducks 36c; turkeys 35c. BUTTER Lighter receipts of butter had a steadying influence on the market last week and prices were slightly higher. The production reports of the Amer- ican; Creamery Butter Manufacturers’ Association, however, indicated an in— crease of 9.7 per cent over the preced- ing week, but a decrease of 6.4 per cent under the same week a year ago. The consumptive demand is on a broad basis and absorbs current receipts eas- ily. Foreign markets are lower but are still too high to find our markets an attractive outlet. The storage sit- uation, which has exerted an unset— tling effect for so long, has been whol- ly corrected. Stocks on April 1 were 10,900,000 pounds, or only slightly above the five-year average on that date. Withdrawals of storage butter during April have been large enough that the surplus has probably been en- tirely wiped out. , Prices on 92-score creamery were: Chicago 4334c; New York 45c. In De- troit fresh creamery in tubs sells for 40@44c per pound. BEANS Bean business was practically at a standstill last week.

Receipts in east- ern markets were larger, but prices held steady. New potatoes are in- creasing in volume and prices show gin-accompanying decline. The season in Texas is at least two weeks ahead of a year ago. Northern round whites U. S. No. 1 are quoted at 85@95c per 100 pounds in the Chicago‘carlot mar- , ket. Eastern round whites bring $1 @1.15 per 100 pounds. WOOL - Demand for wool broadened slightly on the decline a week ago and a little better tone is evident. Some of the dealers refuse to sell at the quotations established in the recent sales of dis- tress wools and a little betterment is noted in the demand for goods. The new clip will start to market within a month and arrivals of foreign wools Were rather heavy again last week. These circumstances will maintain pressure on the market. Some new clip wools in the middle west have been bought at a range of 40(a745c but the trading basis is not well establish- ed. Foreign markets are rather un- settled, with Australian owners of wool inclined to hold back offerings. While the goods trade is a little more brisk, mills are inclined to allow their stocks of raw wool to run low in or- der to be prepared in case goods pric- es are marked down. HORSES \ Except on light farm chunks, the horse market is active at the strong- est prices of the year. Choice draft- ers tipping the beam at 1,800 to 1,900 pounds are selling at $215 to $290 in Chicago—Farm chunks weighing 1,400 to 1,500 pounds are finding a ready outlet to the east at $125 to $160 with prospects that the trade will continue brisk for another month, Kinds weigh- ing under 1,300 are extremely hard to sell. . GRAND RAPIDS The market was fairly steady on farm produce in Grand Rapids early this week, with a number of new of- ferings, including rhubarb, spinach and asparagus appearing in the loads. Poultry was short of the demand. Rhu- barb 8@90 lb; spinach $1.50@2 bu; as- paragus $2 dozen bunches; evergreen onion 10@15c dozen; silver skin on- ions 18@20c dozen; cabbage, parsnips and cabbage 500 bu; carrots 600 bu; radishes 65@750 dozen bunches; leaf lettuce 7@90 lb; potatoes 40@500 bu; eggs 24%@25%c; butter-fat 460 lb; poultry, Leghorn' fowls 20@250; heavy fowls 25@28c; veal 13@15c; pork 16 @170; beef 12@14c; wheat $1.57 bu; beans $5 cwt. DETROIT CITY MARKET A fairly large amount of produce was offered, and buying was fairly brisk. Second-class vegetable oysters had easy sale, but other winter vege‘ tables were in light demand.
