seed unadapted to Michigan con-



ditions are being imported into

the United States annually. That seed

imported from Argentine, South Amer-

loan, and from southern Africa. is vir-

tually a complete failure when seeded

under Michigan conditions is shown

by recent results of tests conducted

by the Farm Crops Department'of the

Michigan State College.



Four different lots of Argentine seed

were compared with adapted Grimm,

Hardigan, Cossack, Ontario Variegat-

ed, and Northern Grown Common

strains. All lBts entered the winter in

excellent shape. This spring each hi

the Argentine lots showed stands of

less than one per cent, while the

adapted strains of Grimm, Hardigan,

Cossack, Ontario Variegated, and

Northern. Grown Common strains

showed a 100 per cent stand and gave

every indication of producing an ex-

cellent crop of hay. ,



Owing to the heavy winter killing of

the Argentine lots, the stand is prac?

tically a failure and if not in a test

would have to be plowed up and re-

seeded.



In another test, both Arizona Com-

mon‘and Hairy Peruvian'from Arizona





were compared with adapted strains.





The results secured were the same as

those secured with the Argentine seed.

A fair stand lived through the first

winter but was practically-wiped out

the second winter.



The African seed was tested out on





a piece of muck land and was com-

pletely wiped out the first winter.

Three lots from California and one

from the Chubut section of Argentine

were also seeded alongside the Afri-

can with the same disastrous results.

Also included in this test were several,

Argentine and African seed constitute

approximately three—fourths of all of

the alfalfa seed imported into the

United States, it is safe to assume

that the greater part of the alfalfa

seed imported is decidedly inferior for

Michigan conditions and should never

be sown in this state. On the other

hand, not only the tests at the college

but the experience of many farmers

has shown that Grimm, Ontario Varie-

gated, Cossack and hardy strains of

Northern Grown Common are well

The Grimm and Cossack seed are

more expensive but are probably a lit-

tle more dependable under adverse

conditions. The Ontario Variegated

and Michigan Grown Common comes

in about midway, both in price and

dependability between the Grimm and

the high altitude Utah seed. It should

be kept in mind that Argentine, Afri-

can and Arizona seed are practically

worthless under Michigan conditions

and that seed labeled as common al-

falfa, the source of origin of which is

Unknown, is likely to be unadapted

and give poor results.





Sho'uld You Make a Will





It All Depends Upon Conditions and What 0726 M556: Wité His Property

By J . R. Rood





N answer to the question often



asked as to the advisability of a



person making a will, I will say

that it depends on the condition of the

family of the person asking the cues-

and whether the purposes he

desires to accomplish can be attained

If it is not

possible to dispose of the estate as

the person desires without a will, he

should” make one.





So many persons and corporations

who would like to be named executor

have been preaching by word, circu-

lar, and pamphlet that everyone

should make a will, and inquiring

whether the will has yet been made,

that many disinterested persons now

honestly believe the statement that

everyone should make a will, and inci-

dentally name the advertiser executor.





In keeping with this doctrine is the

one that everyone should have a leg

cut off. There is.no disputing that

under certain circumstances it is wise

to have a leg cutoff; but if it can be

avoided it is best not to.



Let us apply this to the making of

a will:





1. If no will is made the statute

appoints the disposition of the prop-

erty. That statute has been framed

to meet, as far as possible, the com-

mon desire. Originally the statute was-

somewhat crude, it- failed to provide

for certain contingencies cases of

From time to time,,.





J





dred years, the statute has been

amended here and there to avoid these

hardships. Some litigation has arisen

on which the courts have interpreted

the statute. Now there is very re—

mote possibility of doubt or litigation

as to the application of the statute,

and few if any cases not provided for.

Read the statute and see if it accom-

plishes your purpose. If it does not,

would some provision made by con-

veyance now make it fit? What peo-

ple dispose of while they are alive

there is little prospect of litigation

over when they are dead.



On the other hand, the language of

every man’s will is individual. It has

never been interpreted. Every word

and clause is fraught with possibility

of double interpretation. The care

with which it is drawn cannot avoid

that. As proof of this point, note that

there never was an instrument drawn

with greater legal skill, better coun-

sel, or more careful deliberation, than

the Constitution of the United States;

and yet there has scarcely been a term

of court since its adoption that the

court has not been required to apply

it to some unforeseen situation, and

determine what its proper interpreta-

tion is as applied to that case. The

man who makes a will is gambling in

futures. Hind sight is not always per-.

feet; but foresight ,is more obscure.

The unexpected always happens. A





man makes his will giving property to

his daughter “Mary and her children,”

and thinks he has made a fairly plain

statement of his wishes. After the

testator is dead Mary has some more

children born, and a creditor gets judg-

ment against her and takes the prop—

erty on execution. The creditor claims

that the property all belonged to Mary,

and that if the children take it would

be from her by descent; and the cred-

itory finds plenty of court decisions to

support his contention. The younger

children claim that Mary had but a

life estate; and on her dcath it should

be.divided among all the children in

equal shares; and they, too, find plen-

ty of cases to support their view.

The older children claim that the prop—

er meaning is that on the death of the

testator the mother, Mary, took a. vest-

ed share absolutely, and each child

then living took an equal share, and

the later born children took nothing.

The fact is that the testator never

thought of such a question arising or

he would have attempted to provide

for its solution. Of all instruments,

the most difficult to draft is a will;

in fact, as stated, it is impossible to

make the will certain on all points.

The longer it is the worse it is.



‘12. If no will is made there can be

no litigation as to whether the de

ceased was crazy, or the will the prod—,

uct of forgery, mistake, undue influ-





 





ence, or fraud, or whether it has been

later revoked. Many an estate has

been dissipated in litigation over some

such question, which would have pass-

ed entire to objects very near to the

affections of the testator if no will

had been attempted.





Probable cause is not necessary to

such litigation. All that is necessary

is a sufficient property to fight over,

or sufficient animosity between the

parties interested, or a little of both.

If either of these be provided it is

not far to seek the rest.





3. If no will be made the probate

judge selects some competent admin-

istrator, having due regard to the

wishes of the persons principally in-

terested in the estate; and if the per-

son chosen proves deficient he may be

removed and another put in his place.

If the deceased has made a will and

named an executor, the court has no

power to remove him and appoint an-

other, though it may be then very

clear that the person named is wholly

unfit for the office. One apparently

quite fit today may seem quite impos-

sible at some future time.





To conclude where we began, if the

statute does not serve the purpose,

and it cannot otherwise be accomplish-

ed, make a will; otherwise not. But

in any event leave the statute to op-

erate as far as possible; for by that

much temptation to contest the will

is removed, and a great deal of future

trouble avoided.

CURRENT COMMENT

HESE are

Testin when farmers are

M. ’8’ put to test. With con-

er} s ditions normal, it is

Skill often difficult to de-





cide which farmer is

entitled to the highest rating as—a till-

er of the soil. But extreme conditions

often tell a different story.





The present dry weather, for in-

stance, is finding out many farmers.

Last week we were visiting sections

where, on the average farm, corn and

beans were not sprouting for lack of

moisture. But here and there were

men who had these crops growing.

These few men had, through care in

their cultural methods, reserved in the

soil a sufficient supply of moisture to

start; the crops.



While it is not usually recognized,

this ability to grow a fair or good

crop when the average farmer gets

little or nothing, is what puts good

farmers in a class by themselves.





The man who secures a poor crop

in an off season, usually gets an in-

come inadequate to care for his ex-

penses. On the other hand, he who,

through skill, can grow a reasonably

good crop in a year when production

is low and prices high, can hardly fail

to reap richer harvests than is obtain-

ed in normal seasons.



While weather conditions may de—

termine the general course of the

farming business, these skillful farm-

ers often are able to turn the adversi-

ties of the average farmer into profits.





T its last session





Successful the board of sup

Library ervisors of Menomj

nee county voted to



Plan increase the appropri-





ation for the rural

service of the Spies Public Library.

The plan was started in 1919 and has

during the intervening period gained

such popularity as to move the super-





vVisors of the various townships to in-





crease its usefulness.



The Spies Library is located in the

city of Menominee. Under the plan a

branch station is located in each town-

ship. ‘The supervisor of each township





selects such locations and names the.





local librarian. Some of these stations

are in private homes, some in stores,

one in a cheese factory, and another

in a boarding house.



Cases are provided with lock and





a £200 "L ed . an .

and the list is divided on dbont a' fifty-





and every ninety days one of-





fifty basis between fiction and non-

fiction: books.



During the past year 6,155 volumes

wore in circulation These went put

to 30, 568 calls, making a turnover per

volatile of 4. 9. Outside the county seat

of this county there are 14, 778 people.

This would indicate that on an aver-

age each person in the rural sections

of the county read over two books

during the year.



What force might this be in the fu-

ture affairs of this county? How much

of happiness and enjoyment are these

people finding in this simple arrange-

ment? How many boys and girls will

this common sense plan hold in Me-

nominee county to build her future

homes and establish and maintain

more Splendid institutions of culture?

How many lads and lassies whose par-

ents may only know some foreign lan-

guage will, through the general read-

ing of American literature become the

very sinews of strength in the support

of our ideas and ideals of govern-

ment? .





We desire to commend, in the high-

est terms. the work of the Spies Lib-

rary of Menominee county.





E wish to com- '





mend to our

readers the position

taken by President

Coolidge on law en-

forcement and state

rights, in his Memorial Day address.

His position appeals to be meeting

with the approval of farm folks every-

where.



His intimation that those state offl-

cials who are loudly clamoring for

state rights are the most flagrant in

their neglect of the rights their states

now possess in law enforcement, is

regarded as especially pertinent to the

present situation in several eastern

states.





“What We need,” he says, “is not

more federal government, but better

local government. Yet many people

who would agree to this have large

responsibility for the lapse of local

authority.”



The police force which is‘ adminis-

tered on the assumption that the vio~

lation of some laws may be ignored,

he continues, has started toward de—

moralization. The community which

approves such administration is mak-

ing dangerous concessions. If we are

too weak to take charge of our own

morality, we are not strong enough to

take charge of our own liberty.



The President gave a timely warn-

ing against the “insidious practice” of

dividing the expense of public im-

provements between state, and nation-

al treasuries. The policy of “national

doles” to the states is bad and may

become disastrous. “When the na—

tional treasury contributes half, there

is temptation,” he says, “to extrava~

gance by the state. We have seen

some examples in connection with the

federal contributions to road build-

ing." ‘





Better

Local Gov-





’ ernment





Farm organization leaders who were

advocates of federal-state half-and-half

highway construction, have had their

enthusiasm cooled by the results of

this program as applied to roads as

well as other projects, and many of

them are willing to agree with the

President that the “doles” system is

being overdone.

For instance,

have been gathering information on’

the feeding of the great city of New,

York They find that food comes to





this industrial center from all parts of"





the world. The, average length of haul

for such perishables as fruits and veg-

are in the very '-extreme corners of the

Florida. Taken '

together these two states account for

one-third of the total supply in the

New York market.



We, of course, want to congratulate

the business farmers of these states

upon their success in building up so

splendid a trade of perishables in so

distant a market. ' We also want to

congratulate our own farmers in not

being obliged to go far from the state

But, we do think that these figures

suggest opportunities for improvement

in feeding the people in our great cit-

RUDGERY is a

How to relative, not an

Bud e absolute term. That is,

g what is drudgery to

Dr udgery one person is not to





another. It is largely

a condition of the mind, like happi-

ness. Any normal person can be hap-

py if he desires, and any person can

It depends on how they

look at things, the interest they take

in what happens to be their lot in life.

Understanding the philosophy of

things and trying to make conditions

better changes drudgery into work

that is pleasant and usually not fa-

tiguing.



There is much about farming and

common housework that is pure drudg-

gery, unless you understand some good

reason for doing these tasks; Then

the work becomes so interesting that

it is a pleasure and not drudgery. If

the farmer is interested in ‘soil bacte~

ria, if he realizes that these minute

organisms are the vital factor in soil

improvement, that if he handles his

soil so as to produce favorable condi;

tions for their development, then much

of the hard work of farming becomes

a real pleasure. He is so interested

that he forgets all about being tired.

But the man who does all this work

without knowing why he does it, is

liable to become a drudge.



There is another phase of this sub-

ject that helps turn drudgery into

pleasure. "Forget self and then work

because it will benefit others. There

is much in housework that is com-

monly considered drudgery which

could be turned to pleasure ifthe phil-

osophy of things was better under-

stood. And drudgery would entirely

disappear, if one could fully realize

that it is being done so others can do

their part of life’s work. Unselfish de—

’v0tion for the good of all lightens the

daily task.

Monday



ER your informashu‘n I wanta say



that Monday comes after Sunday,

and seein’ as I have just finished giv-

in' my seven sermuns, I’ve just got

through with a week 0’ Sundays, so

now I should go ta the next subject,

which is Monday.





Monday is the day when the. clothes

what was dirtied on Sunday is washed.

The color 0’ Monday is blue. I don’t

know just why, but even the water

what is used fer washin’ is made blue.



Now, maybe Monday is blue ’cause

it is the beginning’ of a week 0’ every-

day life. It’s dif-

ferunt from Sun-

day but it’s a lot

like the rest 0’

the week. Sunday

is for rest an’ in.

spirashun, ’cept

when you got com-

pany. Then it’s

fer rest and pen

spirashun. The

company gets the rest and you get the

perspirashun





I don’t just know how ta figule Mon-

day. Some says we must work six

days and rest the seventh, while oth<

ers says we should rest the first day

so we are in good condishun ta work

the other six. I don’t know whether

I wanta rest before workin’ or after.

Sofie thinks I don’t workenough ta

need rest any time, so she makes me

work all the time as. much as possibul

which ain’t much.





Sunday is the one day when the

preacher works—the hardest, and on

Monday he figures what the result 0'

his labors is. So, I’m lookin’ over the

results 0’ my week 0’ Sundays and I

kin tell you they ain’t prodigious.

There’s either more good folkses than

I thought there was, or there’s lots

what don’t wanta be good, or maybe

they don’t understand my languige, or

they’re backward about comin’ for‘

ward. Or maybe I ain’t as good as I

thought I was. Anyhow, I feel kinda.

indigo—like on this day after Sunday.

But I suppose that’s the way lots 0’

great preacher-s feel sometimes, so I

don’t care. By Friday maybe I’ll feel

differunt.





But I wanta thank those what has

joined,my congregashun and has help-

ed me say “Amen” ta my own preach-

1n’s.



Sofie just says I’m like a lotta oth-

er preachers; (I don’t practice what I

preach. She says I’m talkin’ against

vanity and then start praisin' my own

abiluty. I says that I can’t afford ta.

hire nobody ta toot my horn for me,

so I gotta. come ta the rescue and t’oot

my own. Toot! Toot! See you next

week. HY SYCKLE.

they are )1ving on a farm at all.



In so many cases these farmers are

barely able to make a living, pay tax-

es and interest, and possible small

payments on debts. Their homes are

commonplace at the best modern con-





veniences such as they would natur-

. ally have if living in town and earning





no more than they earn on the farm,

adequately supply the needs of The

day to. send to the condensary or the

creamery, for which they receive a

small but regular income. None of the





. stock has any quality, crops are of the





most indifferent sort, and nothing they

do, keep, or produce has the dignity

.of quality or merit.





The question is, what is there in





that kind of a life that makes it worth

living? Why do they stick to the farm

with so little recompense and recrea-

tion, when the town ,has so much more

to interest or, at-least, to amuse them

than the farm offers? I can conceive





ULE driving is a job—or, per-

haps, I should say, “a vocation”

——which, requires more force of

thought and character than one might

suppose. Not every man can become

a mule driver—or “skinner”, as they

are more properly called. The per-

sons most likely to succeed in this line

of endeavor are those well skilled in

the use of argument and persuasion.

All; things considered, mules are

very wonderful animals. They possess

obstinacy of character, stubbornness

'of purpose, and they invariably insist

upon using their own wills. To drive





' them successfully, one should be even





more obstinate and stubborn than

they, and able to overcome all ob-

stacles.



It might be well for a new beginner

to hire someone well acquainted with





animals’ habits to attend to the har—‘





nessing and hitching of the mules to





the vehicle, and so forth. This is not .





an essential or necessary matter, but





‘ it must be remembered that mules are

. very eccentric beasts, and that along

with their other characteristics and

attributes. they possess also more or





less temperament. Should a new be-





~ginner inadvertently approach them





on the wrong or “off” side, or in some

other way abruptly interrupt their

soulful meditations—~well, I wouldn’t

go so far as to say that the animals

would be peeved, but the chances are

they wouldn‘t like it. So it is always

best to to intelligently about your





‘ business with them.

of nothing more deadening to a person

On the other hand, there is no oc-

cupation more inspiring than farming

when once its possibilities for adven-

ture, for personal initiative, for ex-

perimental explorations in plant- and

animal life, and for living the most

completely rounded life are realized.

‘ A farmer who by study, care and

selection produces a superior strain

of his. favorite type of corn, oats,

wheat, beans, potatoes or any other

crop in, which he is interested, has the

satisfaction of having done a really

the pecuniary reward which always

work. Then there is a pure-bred live

stock. breeder, the man who settles his

choice upon one or more breeds of live

stock and proceeds to do really crea-

tive work in making better the breed

or breeds in which he is interested.

When he gets a real vision of what he

may be able to make of his selected

breed and then has an abiding inspir-

ation that he can attain to his ideal,

he literally has the world by the tail.

He gives himself to the study of his

breed; he delves into pedigrees; he

he has any,‘(not that there is sure to

be an accident, but because it is so

very easy for such things to come

about), and then climb gingerly and

cautiously to the vehicle seat. (Oh,

yes, in climbing to your seat, it is

best always to approach from the rear

of the vehicle, so as not to come too

close to the rear of the mules. A‘ni-

that pOssibly they have developed

themselves to a state _of being far be-

until the utterance becomes a loud

shout. Your breath and words failing

you, it may become necessary to use

the whip. Should this, too, fail, you

may safely decide that the mules have

balked.





Now comes the most delicate part of

the whole business—delicate in that it

involves a certain amount of psychol-

ogy. In order to handle balky mules,

one should possess a certain knowl-

edge of this science, and also know

how to put it to practical application.

Having knowledge of psychology and

putting it into practice, you lean back

in your seat and wait—~simply wait—

until the time comes when the ani-

mals shall have changed their mental

attitudes. ,(As you have already seen,

it is decidedly unwise to “unload” on

a meditative mule unless he be in a.

receptive mood). The waiting may re-

quire the period of an hour—possibly

two hours—~maybe a dayl—nduring

which time, indications of the mule’s

mental processes may be translated

from the occasional flicker of their

ears or switch of their tails. But on

no occasion or for any reason disturb

them until you are sure they are not

amenable to psychological methods.





If, after a. length of'time, you decide

the mules are not to be influenced by

thought power or mental telepathy, it

will then be well to use harsher and

the life of the Creator, and such a. life '

must become infinitely rich in direct-

ing the laws of nature to produce the

better things, and in the satisfaction

in having produced something more

worth while than anyone else, up to

this time, had been able to do.



The man who simply farms to make

money is likely to shift about from

one type of farming to another and

oftentimes changes from one -job to

another so that the farming industry,

as such, would be really better with-

out such men engaged in it at all.

Such farmers make for no permanency

in agriculture, they are little interest-

ed in the social and moral life of the

country, and, in the long run are, to

a. great extent, responsible for the

rural discontent and for the growing

contempt for the things really worth

while in connection with farming.





But the man who sees nothing else

in farming besides just making mon-

ey, who really attempts to do creative

work, either in growing a better grade

of crops or producing a higher class

of live stock, or building a more pro-

ductive sort year by year, is most

likely to be interested in the living

conditions of his home and community

make possible the permanency of tag

riculture in the fullest sense.





more strenuous methods. One skinner

of my immediate acquaintance has al-

ways advocated the breaking of two—

by-fours across the animals’ back, but

I do not go so far as to advise that.

A sudden shout, loud and shrill, may

startle them from their meditations——

at least long enough for you to get in

more effective work, but as a general

rule, a charge of dynamite, well-placed

and touched-OE will accomplish the

feat and attain for you the desired re—'

sults. Sometimes, taking the vehicle

apart and carrying it up the road,

piece by piece, will so excite their cur-

iosity as to make them forget their

former grievances.



But, if all these things fail to start

your balky mules, there still remains

one remedy which never fails—that is,

providing you can put it sucecssfully

into use. It is this: Fasten the reins,

or “ribbons," tightly to the vehicle,

take a. firm grip on your courage—4f

you have any——and clamber out upon

the tongue of the vehicle. (But, by

the way, steer clear of the heels of the

animals! On no occasion would it be

wise for you to twist their tails or do

anything rash). Then, standing with

feet well braced, lean cautiously over

the near mule of the leading team and

suddenly but forcibly blow in his ear!

This method, as a last and final resort,

will successfully start the balky mules .

and get you safely to your destination

—providing, of course, you have time,

after blowing in the animal‘s ear, to . '

get back into the vehicle! '

BUYING MILK AND FEEDING THE

~ * - SKIM-MILK.





 





Would it pay me to buy milk of

neighbors for pigs, calf and chicken

feed? The idea is to separate the

milk, ship the cream to the creamery

zndvvfeeéiing milk as before stated.—





If you sell the butter-fat for the

same price you pay the farmers and

only have the skim~milk for your labor

and expense of skimming, selling and

necessary bookkeeping, it is very

doubtful if you would make‘ any profit

worth while. It would largely depend

on the volume you could handle and

the skill you used in feeding.



Many experiments have been made

by different experiment stations to de-

termine the value of skim-milk when

fed to pigs. From these experiments

it would seem that it would be safe to

figure that 100 pounds of skim-milk,

when properly fed with corn, is worth

one—half the price of a bushel of corn,

that is, if corn is worth one dollar per

bushel, then skim-milk is worth fifty

cents per hundred if fed at the rate

of three pounds of skim-milk to one

pound of corn. But if not fed in the

right proportion it is not worth that.



If you had facilities for handling

quite a large volume of milk, and the

proper facilities for feeding a good

many animals, and would see to it that

they were fed scientifically correct ra-

tions it might work out.



You would need to be sure of your

supply of milk if you had gone to the

expense of equipment and investment

in your animals. It'would also be

some job to keep a supply of animals

for a good volume of milk.

WHAT GRAIN TO FEED WlTH

ALFALFA.





 





3 Would you please give me a grain

5 ration for cows to be fed all together

on alfalfa hay?—H. F. A.



Alfalfa contains 11.7 per cent digest-

ible protein, with only 40.9 per cent

carbohydrates and 1.0 per cent of fat.

. 4 If fed alone there would be a waste



i of protein because if the animal con-

sumed enough alfalfa to obtain a prop—

er amount of carbohydrates it would

;! get an excess of protein. This would

' be against economy, for protein is

, more valuable than carbohydrates. In

1' other words, alfalfa has a nutritive

1‘ ratio of 1:3.6, while in the balanced

ration the ratio of the food ingredi-

ents is 1257.



Again, alfalfa alone is too bulky for

best results. It would take twenty-

two pounds of alfalfa hay to furnish

the required amount of protein and if

a cow could digest this amount per

1,000 pounds live weight, it would be

a severe tax on her. '



Now, since alfalfa is too rich to be

fed‘economically alone we must add a

food, riCh, proportionally, in carbohy-

‘. ,. drates; For this there is nothing bet-

‘ tor" than corn or barley. Corn has a.

i nutritive ratio of 1:96 and is almost

-fléal- for combining with alfalfa. But

CATTLEVON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS;





 





Some people who drive their cattle

down a highway road, not a state re-

ward read, on Sunday. have met ob-

jection from a neighbor whose place

they pass. The cattle were just walk-

ing along the road, being driven by a

woman and two children. Is there a.

law against this?—Mrs. B. T.





All public highways are footways,

driveways, and driftways. The only

restriction on the use of highways as

driftways is that the animals driven

must be accompanied by drivers and

kept under control. All members of

the public desiring to use the high-

ways as driftways, have the same

rights as persons using for driveways

or footways, subject to such regula-

tions as may be made by the police

for public safety.—~Rood.





ORCHARD AND SUDAN GRASS.





 





I wish you would inform me how

much orchard grass to sow to the acre

and when to sow it. I wish to sow

some Sudan grass also. Give me in-

structions about that, also—VV. .





Orchard grass is seeded in the

spring. The seeding should be made

with a nurse crop of either oats or

barley. If seeded alone during the

spring or summer, the growth made is

slight, and likely to be crowded out

by weeds.



Seedings may be made during Sep-

tember, when Wheat is sown. Orchard

grass behaves somewhat the same as

timothy; that is, it produces very little

growth the first season, coming into

as a general rule, be reached for pay-

ment of his debts. Imprisonment for

A CORRECTION. '





 





We notice inquiry by P. K. in issue

of May .9, in regard to high school tui-

tion, and with due apology to Mr.

Rood will say he has answered the

question erroneously in not quoting all

the paragraph. My School Law of 1921

adds to what Mr. Rood has quoted:

“The board, however, is not required

to pay more than $60 per pupil per

year.” I believe Mr. Rood will ac-

knowledge his error and set P. K. in

the right—J. W. S.



The criticism is correct; but per-

haps we should add the further provis~

ion, “unless the voters appropriate a

ing, or at a special meeting called for





that purpose,” eta—Rood.

UPERLATIVES were used gener—



ously by the delegates to the forti-



eth annual meeting of the H01-

stein-Friesian Breeders’ Association of

America,_ held at Grand Rapids last

week, in expressing appreciation of

the way they were entertained by their

Michigan hosts.



Reports show this association to be

in good financial condition, although

the reserve fund is considerably below

its high mark of a few years ago. The

total net worth of the association is

$362,022.76. which is a reduction of

$56,830.63 as compared with the state-

ment of last year.



The secretary’s report indicates a

total registration of Holstein cattle in

the country for the past fifty—nine

years of 1,448,991 animals—454,700

males and 976.000 females. During the

past year 111,529 animals were placed

on record—a falling off of 3.12 per

cent from the previous year. The mem-

bership enrollment of the association

has now reached 25,040, of which 1,993

are in Ohio and 1,708 are in Michigan.



Conditions for doing advanced reg-

istry work this past year have been

adverse. High‘ costs of labor and

feed, and the campaign against tuber-

culosis were held as causes for the

shrinkage in this class of testing. All

breeds ‘of cattle have been affected.

During the year 6,952 Holstein Cows

and heifers were tested for periods of

not less than seven days. Only 396





\





out of 4,012 animals tested failed to

meet the requirements ’of the short-

time official test. The successful en-

trants averaged 479.2 pounds of milk,

with an average test of 3.75 per cent

and containing 17.984 pounds of fat.

The averages are the highest known.

During the year the record that stood

at the beginning has been exceeded

seven times. Twenty-seven produced

more than twenty-eight pounds of fat,

while three exceeded the thirty-two

pound level. Eighteen cows passed the

1,000 pound of fat class, while ten oth-

ers produced between 960 and 1,000

pounds of fat.





The extension service of the associ-

ation has been encouraging local clubs,

state associations and individual Hol-

stein owners. Support has also been

given to county agents, state extension

men and the extension programs gen-

erally. In advertising the breed, pro-

moting the useof Holstein milk, stim-

ulating calf clubs, aiding exhibitors at

fairs, emphasizing true Holstein type,

this department has done a most use-

ful work. The cost of extension ser—

vice was $142,563.06, and the receipts

$27,831.39, leaving a balance of $114,-

731.67 net disbursements.





The committee on cow testing work

reported that this testing should be

encouraged by every legitimate means,

that it is a real aid looking toward the

improvement of common cows, that its

very good. Outstanding facts of im-

mediate concern which have come to

my attention are as follows;





The relative decrease in grain pric-

es has lessened the east of producing

eggs while, at the same time; prices

for eggs have held up well. The baby

chick business this season has been a

very geod one, many hatcheries re-

porting business as good as in previ-

one years. Up to the present time,

spring weather in most sections of the





 





Chickens Need Shade During Hot Weather.





country has been quite favorable and

the, results of hatching, both in the

commencial hatcheries and on farms,

have been much better than last year.

It will be recalled that last year the

early hatches were very poor, and ap-

parently because of the cold; wet

spring weather chick mortality was

very high. In respect to this particu-

lar situation, the results of the current





be much better than last year and

losses should not be nearly as great.

Also, it can be expected that the pul—

lets will commence laying under more

favorable conditions than last year,

and furthermore the surplus c’ockerels

should be in better condition for fat-

tening and marketing. 7 This, in turn,

should result in an improvement over

last year's operations.



Looking at the development of the

poultry industry over a number of

years, it seems probable that there

will be a steady upward trend, because

eggs and poultry meat are two of the

most popular articles of food in the

human diet. The per capita consump-

tion of both classes of food is increas—

ing annually, and with reference to

eggs in particular, will probably in-

crease at a more rapid rate as the .fac-

tor of improved quality of eggs re-

ceives more attention on the part of

producers and shippers of these. prod-

ucts. More attention than ever is be-

ing given to insuring the maintenance

of the highest quality of eggs from the

time they arkproduced to the time

they are consumed, and to the extent

to which this can be achieved will

consumers use eggs more freely and

have greater confidence in the egg

market as a whole. ,It is perhaps un-

necessary to emphasize that poultry

producers must enjoy the confidence

of consumers if poultry products are

to be sold to the best advantage.



There is one other aspect that is of

importance when considering the fu-

ture development of the poultry indus-

try‘.’ It is important to bear in mind

that as the question of food suppfir for

human beings becomes more and more

a result there is beund to be a turn





mans. The chicken is the smallest

economic unit'pf all our domestic ani-

mals used for the production of food,

and to the extent to which eggs and

poultry meat can be produced econom-

ically will the industry expand in re-





products of the industry.

The economics of production are af-





fected primarily by the price and the ~





amount of feed consumed by poultry, /

by the labor involved in caring for the

animals, and by the equipment and

overhead expenses involved in the op-.

erations. From year to year labOr

and equipment may be'regarded as

fairly stable factors, and the same

may be said of the amount of feed

consumed by different classes of poul-

try. Since poultry use staple grains





which are also used by humans as well

as by various classes of live stock, the

price of grains is a very important

factor affecting the economical produc-

tion of eggs and poultry meat. Grain

prices vary not only from year to year

but also from week to week within

any one year, and it is impossible to

predict with any accuracy what grain

prices may be for the next few years.

It seems safe to say, however, that in

the production of poultry meat and

eggs, cost of production must be kept

down to the minimum.





Poultry producers should also re-

member that the economics of produc-

tion are affected by the amount of

mortality experienced from year to

year. This mortality may include em-

bryo mortality during incubation,

chick mortality during the brooding

season, or adult mortality throughout

the laying season. All three kinds of

mortality cause relatively enormous

losses to the poultry industry of the

country as a whole, and undoubtedly

could be reduced very materially if

proper precautions were taken. Poul-

try producers throughout all parts of

the country are urged to keep their

poultry plants and accessories in as

clean and sanitary a condition as pos-

sible at all times. The land used for

poultry should be kept free from con-

tamination by regular cultivation and

the growing of some kind of crop. The

poultry house should be kept clean at

all times, and should always be lit-

tered with clean, dry straw. The

house should always be kept free from





tion without drafts. Overcrowding

both of chicks in brooder houses and

hens in laying houses, usually proves

disastrous and should be avoided.

Furthermore, it is very important that

the poultry house should be thorough-

ly disinfected at frequent intervals, us-

ing a three per cent solution of cresol

'compound U. S. P., or a five per cent

solution of carbolic acid solution. The

floors, walls and roosts .should be-

cleaned thoroughly before disinfection.

By taking the proper sanitary precau-

tions 3. great deal of mortality which

has been experienced during the past

few years can be eliminated and the

A





L i L. HE South: Haven Experiment





- Station is“ . unique in "that it



stands as a. memorial 'to one or

America’s pioneer horticulturlstscffion.

.T. T. Lyon was a nurseryman by pro;

fesslon but he was so good as a. vari.

ety expert, that he gained national





_ prominence. So intense was his inter-





est in fruit varieties that he quit his

nursery business and in Cooperation

with the state and the federal depart-

ments planted his home grounds in

the southern edge of the city of South





., Haven to a large number of varieties





of all kinds of‘ fruits adaptable to this

part of the country.





These fifteen acres were made the





'Fruit-testing Sub-station of the Mich—





igan Agricultural Experiment Statiou,

with Mr. Lyon in charge. It contained

at one time about three hundred vari-

eties of apples, two hundred varieties

of peaches, one hundred each of cher—

ries, plums, pears, grapes, and about

fifty varieties each of the small fruits,





such. as strawberries, raspberries,

blackberries, gooseberries and cur-

rents. .





Sincb Mr. Lyon’s death several have

had charge of the station. S. H. Ful-

ton, who later became identified with

the United States Department of Ag-

riculture, succeeded Mr. Lyon. Then

came T. A. Farrand, who was so popu«

lar with the fruit growers of the state

because of his enthusiasm for horticul-

ture. Next was F. A. Wilken, now

scribe for the Michigan Farmer. Oth-

ers had had charge for brief periods

until the present encumbent, Stanley

Johnson, took charge.





Since Mr. Johnson’s coming the

work has been broadened. Variety

testing has become a minor matter,

and instead work of more economic

importance is being carried on. Other

lands are being rented to carry on

some of the interesting work.





In the past the great desire was for

freestone peaches for the fresh fruit





3market, but in the last few years the





canning industry has developed tre-

mendously and the Michigan campers,

and growers as well, are seeking ,a.

cling~stonc peach which will compete

With the western cling-stones 1'01" can~

ning purposes. The South Haven sta-

tion is testing out several varieties imv

ported from California, as well as

some native kinds which promise well.





There is also a. demand for a good

yellow peach earlier than the South

Haven and several later than the E1—

berta. Tests are being made to find

such varieties which will ripen at

these times when there is a little lull

in the market.



Blight has become one of the bug-

a-boos ol‘ the pear growing industry.

While it is not. as serious in this state

as in the west, it is considered a ser-

ious hindrance to success. Therefore,

blight resistant varieties arc being

sought which will be suitable to Mich—

igan growing conditions. In coopera—

tion with the United States Depart—

ment of .: gricullure, 3,000 cross-bred

seedlings have been artificially inocu-

lated with blight; at the South Haven

Station to test them for blight resis—

ance. It has been found that, some

varieties which were known to resist

blight in the west are not immune to

it here. One of the varieties some-

times grown in this state, the Sud-

duth, is proving up well in resisting

blight. This kind of a project natur-

ally is a long—time one.



The importation of foreign stocks for

nursory use has brought in a. great

many of our serious fruit insects and

diseases. The government naturally

wants to prevent this and is therefore

working along lines which will make

it unnecessary to use foreign stock for





I propagation purposes. The South Hav-





en Station is being used as one place

where seeds of various varieties are

being used to test their desirability as





 





swirl





,tlon '_lS also'belng experimented with.

y this, root cuttings are made to





grow into grafting stockand also to'





propagate the Varieties themselves-To

produce a tree of a. variety by simply

planting a. root cutting of that: variety





awlll greatly simplify propagation meth-

ods. It is, therefore, hoped that the ,





method will prove successful.





An intensive fertilizer test for red

and black raspberries is also one of

the South Haven projects. The rasp-

berry industry has had a serious set-

back during the past few years due to

diseases and improper methods of cul-

ture. The fertilizer tests may show

that proper nutrition will overcome

some of the diseases such as yellows,

mosaic, etc. - ‘





Mr. Johnson has already made great

headway in pruning experiments with

black raspberries. Special ‘Bulletin

No. 143 of the Michigan Experiment

Station, gives the results of his work

along this line.





His experiments show that all buds

except the basal four or five on the

black raspberry canes are fruit buds.

If the laterals are cut short the buds

will grow vigorously and produce

fruit, whereas if they are left long the

buds will be slow in growing and will

often wither. The common withering

of fruit will occur much .more fre—

quently on plants with long laterals

than those with short ones.





Thinning out canes materially re-

duced production without increasing

the size of the berries. Only the weak-

est canes should be cut out. Large

vigorous canes with laterals, well'cut

back, produce the best fruit. The tests

show that a saving of thirty' to forty

per cent is made in harvesting by

proper pruning, because the berries

are larger. The berries are also of

better quality and therefore bring bet-

ter prices.





The thinning should be done in Win—

ter or early spring and the old canes

should be left in until then because

they help support the new ones, un-

less insect and disease trouble make

it advisable to take them out right

after fruit harvest.



Another interesting project carried

on by Mr. Johnson is the testing of

blueberries. It is known that Michi-

gan has many soils where blueberries

should do well. If some varieties can

be found which will do well here un-

der cultivation, the blueberry industry

promises to be a. big one in this state,

especially in the western part. There-

fore, Mr. Johnson has gotten a large

number of varieties which have been

developed in New Jersey and is trying

them out under Michigan conditions.

He has also picked out promising

seedling kinds which have grown wild

in northern Michigan. It is hoped that

a good Michigan variety can be de-

veloped, 01‘ an imported one found

which will thrive under Michigan con-

ditions.



Perhaps the outstanding thing in

Michigan horticultural work during the

past. year was with reference to the

J. H. Hale peach. This variety never

set to fruit satisfactorily in this state.

Pollenization tests which Mr. Johnson

carried on at the J. K. Barden farm,

north of South Haven, in cooperation

with Prof. V. R. Gardner, of the col-

lege, showed that the Hale peach was

self-sterile but when fertilized by eith-

er Elberta, South Haven or Kalamazoo

it set a. good-sized crop. The inter-

planting of these varieties with Hale

will, therefore, solve the problems

which Michigan peach growers have

had with that variety.



The Southliaven Experiment Sta-

tion, though small, is doing a worthy

work for the fruit growers of the, state.

All who are interested in fruit should

watch the progress of the work there.

AFRAID OF THE HEART.





 





E had a gave]! back in 1900 and

ever since then we’ve been afraid

of his heart.” .



Mrs. Blink was explaining to m‘

why Hiram took such care of himself.

On general principles I approve of all

persons of either sex taking goodcare

of their bodies. I was a little sus-

picious of Hiram, though. I remem-

bered a relative of my own who had

been Safraid of her heart.” Every.

thing out of the way meant a little

flurry of faintness. Someone must

rush to the medicine chest and get a.

little bottle marked Digitalis 61:. Two

drops of the miraculous liquid and the

patient was as Well as ever. Later,

as I learned more about the heart, I

knew that the medicine had nothing

to do with her restoration excepting

as it gave her confidence enough to

throw off the false alarm that had

caused her disaster.



Take care of the heart, by all means,

but don’t be afraid of it. If you think

it is below par let an up—to—date doctor

examine you. The chances are that

you can go right along doing your reg-

ular work so long as you avoid strain,



orry’ and excess. A heart that is

Just called upon to do what it is used

to, gets along very well, even if it

does have a leaky valve. It is when

you puff and strain and over-exert

that the heart suffers. Live on the

level and you get along all right.



Remember that the very best treat-

ment for heart strain is a few days of

absolute rest in bed that will give the

tired muscle a chance to “come

back;” and remember that the person

with a weak heart needs regular ex-

ercise and regular rest. Don’t be afraid

of your heart. Find out what it can

do and govern your work accordingly.





 





BOY HAS CONSTANT PAIN IN SIDE.





 





I am a farm boy of eighteen, six

feet .tall, and weigh 170 pounds. When

helping to get in hay at fourteen years

of age, I felt a pain in my right side

and it seemed that something gave

way. It has troubled me more or less

ever since, and lately there is con-

stant pain whenever I attempt any

lifting—P. B.



I suspect that the strain at fourteen

years old produced an incomplete rup-

ture and that its tendency is to break

through. Better have it looked after

at once, for if it is a rupture it may

produce very serious results at some

critical time, and if it is not you

should at least find out what the

trouble is.





 





SERUM TREATMENT FOR

ASTHMA.





 





Please tell me if the serum treat-

ments ever cure asthma? My doctor

wants me to try them, but I don’t

want to waste money unless there is

some chance of getting results—L. S.





It depends upon the ability of the

physician to find the protein or other

irritant that causes the asthmatic at-

tacks. If he can do that definitely

the serum treatment can be adminis-

tered to good purpose and may effect

a cure. Giving the serum treatment at

haphazard, however, rarely results in





 





anything but disappointment. ,

Safety at the Crossing





The increasing safety of railroad work and of railroad ~ . '1 "

Bureau of the New York Central Lines.





 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





Twelve years intensive effort by this bureau, with the

active cooperation of the men of the New York Central

Lines, has resulted in nearly a 60 per cent reduction in ,

the number of casualties to employees and passengers. :5





But automobile accidents at railroad crossings have

greatly increased. Seventy per cent of these crossing -,

accidents occur in daylight—63 per cent in the open

country where approaching trains can easily be seen.

Last year 14 {per cent of these accidents were due to

automobiles running into the side of trains, and this

percentage is increasing.

Crossing accidents could be practically eliminated if the

Antioch. It was, at the time! early

Antioch should rapidly become the

chief Gentile church, and the mother

of all the rest.

church, sending out many 'Jvorkei's to

other parts of the world. This gave

the Antiochan church its virility. They

" fOrgot themselves,

in thinking of oth«

ers. He that los-

eth his life for

My sake,

erb of the middle

ages ran, :“What

I received I had;

LMM what I kept I

lost; what I gave I have.” That was

Antioch. A great church in a. great

city. '

WHICH leads us to another point.



The church influences the com-

munity, but the community also influ-

ences the church. You rarely have a

strong church in a dying community.





‘For that reason, if for no Other, the





church ought to work in all good and

helpful ways for the upbuildine of the

place where it stands, be that country

or city. People sometimes say,

“Preach the simple gospel.” Very

good, but there are dozens of ways of

preaching it. The man who organizes

a'club of boys may be preaching the

gospel, and planting his seed on the

most fertile of soil. A singing club

{may do the finest of work for the

kingdom. It is not surprising that this

city became the mother church

throughout the east. Christians looked

to it as to the shadow of a great rock

in a thirsty land.





What is the best thing your church

does, in the course of the year? Think

it over. ‘ Some months ago, the Rev-

erend F. W. Norwood, of England, de-

scribed the most significant thing he

Saw in America. Mark the words, for

they are from the pen of a man who

traveled from one ocean to the other,

who saw our biggest cities,‘preached

or lectured in our largest churches and

universities. He said the most signifi—

cant thing he saw in America was the

work of a number of students who

preached and talked on the streets of

Fltchburg, Massachusetts. A business

man with money got people to think

ing about religion. This man was not

a church member. He engaged talent

to put on a pageant, “The Beatitudes,”

and paid the cost. Advertising appear-

ed in all the city ’papers. Liners like

this appeared: “Think it over. What

it is that makes a man forget and

neglect his religious life when he has

money and health, and be the first to

call on God for help when. he is in

trouble?” The campaign slogan be-

came, “Think it over.”



In the evening, students from near-

by colleges, sixty in all, spoke on the

streets about religion. They spokeout

oftheir hearts.- They did not claim

to know everything. The said—some

of them—that they had doubts about

some things. The clubs of the city

joined in the campaign and had speak—

ers on religion. At the opera house

one night people stood in line to get

in, to hear an address on religion.

That is? the way it went. The whole

city, of whom about half are Protest--

ants and half Catholics, knew that

'But all were urged 'to think seriouSIy

andact, in their own tray.- Thls was

the (most significant thing this inuCh-





traveled man saw in the United States '





America. It impressed'hlm more than





the Woolworth Building in New ‘York, '

Niagara Falls, or Jack Dempsey. 'It‘





was like Antioch. It Was a stressing

of genuine religious faith.





THEY were having such a. good time

that Barnabas went and found

Saul and brought him to Antioch, ,so

thathe could preach and teach there.

It was too good a place for Saul to

miss. ' , . ,

And ‘here they were first called

Christians. It was a good name, and

apt. These people had to be called

something, and Galileans, Nazarenes

and the like, would not fit. The name





was probably given atifirst in ridiculeu





The same was true of the name Meth-

odist. Quaker-s were so-called because

they were supposed to quake, when

arrested for their religion, but I fancy

that few of them quaked. The word

occurs but three times in the New

Testament, here and in Acts 26:28,

where Agrippa uses it in ridicule, and

in I Peter 4:16. ‘



The last characteristic mentioned of

these early Christians in this lesson.

is their generosity. A famine had come

on, and all fhe members of the church

were urged to give, Apparently they

did not need urging. It was “every

man according to his ability.” If that

were the case howl—well, it is the





case in some churches.

, d





HOW do church folk give in com<





parison with others? Let me read

-you a quotation, which I filed away

about a. year ago. In the lnterchurch

World Movement it was found by

those who did the canvassing that the

number of altruistic people outside the

churches is negligible. “In the goat

philanthropic campaigns that have

been necessary to aid China, Armenia.

and other peoples since the war, all

sorts of devices for raising money

have been tried out~ In the long run

these great treasuries wait for con-

tributions on the activity of the min-

isters. The churches have given

three millions for famine relief in

China. A large section of the money

for Armenia. is money secured in the

churches, and the amount contributed

by church-folk probably forms the ma-

jor portion of the giving. The philan-

thropic spirit is the product of educa-

tion as is every other virtue. The





.churches teach the virtue of giving





where no return is expected. It is

upon Christian men and women train—

ed in infancy in the habits of making

sacrifices for others that the greatun-

selfish causes of the world wait for

support.”



Prophets, the record says. came to

Antioch from Jerusalem. People usu-

ally think of a prophet as someone.

who foretells events. They did, some

of them. But not all. The prophet

was a. forthteller, as well as a fore-

teller. He was expected to speak

God’s message, to see into moral val—

ues and fearlessly proclaim them. He

may not have been a forecaster at all.

3 The apartment had been furnished

.‘W‘ith Paula’s aid. Together she and

Dirt had gone to interior decorators.

ffBut you’ve got to use your own taste,

.- ”too" Paula had said, “to give it the

individual touch.” The apartment was

furnished in a good deal of Italian

furniture, the finish a dark oak or

walnut, the whole massive and yet

semehow unconvincing. The effect

was sombre without being impressive.

; There were long carved tables on

which an ash tray seemed a_desecra-

lion; great chairs roomy enough for

lolling, yet in which you did not relax;

dull silver candlesticks; vestments;

Dante’s saturnine features sneering

down upon you from a correct cabinet.

There were not many books. Tiny

foyer, large living room, bedroom, din-

ing room, kitchen, and a. cubby-hole

for the Jap. Dirk did not spend much

time in the place. ,Sometimes he did

not sit in a chair in the sitting room

for days at a time, using the rdom

only as a short cut in his rush-for the

bedroom to change from office to din~

ner clothes. His upward climb was

a treadmill, truly. His office, the apart-

ment, a dinner, a dance. His contacts

were monontonous, and too few. His

office was a great splendid office in a

great splendid office building in La-

Salle Street. He drove back and forth

in a motor car along ~~the boulevards.

His social,engagements lay north. La;

Salle Street bounded him on the west,

Lake Michigan on the east, Jackson

Boulevard on the south. Lake Forest

on the north. He might have lived a

thousand miles away for all he knew

of the rest of Chicago—the mighty,

roaring, sweltering, pushing, scream-

ing, magnificent hideous steel giant

that was Chicago.





' Selina had had no hand in the fur-

nishing of his apartment. When it

was finished Dirk had brought her in

triumph to see it. “Well,” he had said,

“what do you think of it, Mother?”





She had stood in the center of the

room, a small plain figure in the midst

of these massive sombre carved ta-

bles, chairs, chests. A little smile had



~. quirked the corner of her mouth. “I

V think it’s as cosy as a cathedral,”

' Sometimes Selina remonstrated with

him though, of late she had taken on

a strange reticence. She no longer

asked him about the furnishings of the

hOuses he visited (Italian villas on

Ohio Street), or the exotic food he ate

at splendid dinners. The farm flour—

ished. The great steel mills and fac—

tories to the south were closing in

upon her but had not yet set iron foot

on her rich green acres. She was

rather famous now for the quality of

her farm products and her pens. You

saw “DeJong asparagus” on the menu

at the Blackstone and the Drake ho-

tels. Sometimes Dirk’s friends twitted

him about this and he did not always

acknowledge that the similarity of

names was not a coincidence.





"Dirk, you seem to see no one but

just these people,” Selina told him in

She would take a room in a hotel,

sometimes north, sometimes south.

Her holiday before her she would go

off reaming gaily as a small boy on a

Saturday morning, with the day

stretching gorgeously and adventure-

somely ahead of him, sallies down the

street without plan or appointment,

knowing that richness in one form or

another lies before him for the choos-

ing. She loved the Michigan Boule-

vard and State Street shop windows

in which haughty waxed ladies in glit-

tering evening gowns postured, fingers

elegantly crooked as they held a fan,

a rose,»a. programme, meanwhile smil~

ing condescendingly out upon an envi-

ous world flattening its nose against

the plate glass barrier. A sociable

woman, Selina, savoring life, she liked.

the lights, the color, the rush, the

noise. Her years of grinding work,

with her face pressed down to the very

soil itself, had failed to kill her zest

for living. She prowled into the city’s

foreign quarters—Italian, Greek, Chi<

nese, Jewish. She penetrated the

Black Belt, where Chicagos’ vast and

growing Negro population shifted and

moved and stretched its great limbs

ominously, reaching out and out in

protest and overflowing the bounds

that irked it. Her serene face and her

quiet manner, her bland interest and

friendly look protected her. They

thought her a social worker, perhaps;

one of the uplifters. She bought and

read the Independent, the Negro news-

paper in which herb doctors advertis-

ed magic roots. She even sent the

twenty—five cents required for a box

of these, charmed by their names—-

Adam and Eve roots, Master of the

Woods, Dragon’s blood, High John the





Conqueror. Jezebel Roots, Grains of

Paradise.

“Look here; Mother,” Dirk would





protest, “you can’t wander around like





with an economy of gesture. An

of these, she reflected, was more £321?

more native, functioned more usefully-

and honestly than her successful son

Dll‘k DeJong. ’



“Where ’r’ beans ?”



“In th’ 01’ beanery.”



“Tough.”



“Best you can get.”



“Keep ’em."





Many of the older men knew her,

shook hands with her, chatted a mo-

ment friendly. William Talcott,‘ a

little more dried up, more wrinkled,

his sparse hair quite gray now, still

leaned up. against the side of his door-

way m 1118 shirt sleeves and his neat

pepper-andsalt pants and vest, a pret-

ty good cigar, unlighted, in his mouth,

the heavy gold watch chain spanning

hlS middle.





“Well, you certainly made ood,

Mrs. DeJong. Remember the dayg you

come here with your first load?”



9h, yes. She remembered.

mark, too, I see. Doing grand, ain’t

he? Waa’l, great satisfaction having

a. son turn out well like that. Yes,

sirree! Why, look at my da’ter Car’—

Life at High Prairie had its savor,

too. Frequently you saw strange vis—

itors there for a week or ten days at

a t1me——boys and girls whose city pal-

lor gave way to a rich tan; tired-look-

ing women with sagging figures who

drank Selina’s cream and ate her

abundant vegetables and tender chick-

ens as though they expected these vi-

ands to be momentarily snatched from

them. Selina picked these up in odd

corners of the city. Dirk protested

against this, too. Selina was a mem-

ber of the High Prairie school board

now. She often drove about the roads

and into town in a disreputable Ford

your name. You waited. He returned.

You waited. Presently there appeared

a young woman with inquiring eye—

brows. She coflversed with you. She

vanished. You waited. She reappear-

ed. You were ushered into Dirk De-

Jong's large and luxurious inner office.

And there formality fled. -



Dirk was glad to see you; quietly,

interestedly glad to see you. As you

stated your business he listened at‘

tentively, as was his charming way.

The volume of business done with

women clients by the Great Lakes

Trust Company was enormous. Dirk ,

was conservative, helpful—and be 3.1- i

ways got the business. He talked lit-.

tle. He was amazingly effective. Lad-

ies in the modish black of recent be—

reavement made quite a sombre pro«

cession. to his door. His suggestions

(often originating with Paula.) made .

the Great Lakes Trust Company’s dls‘

creet advertising rich in results. Neat ,I

little pamphlets written for women on ‘,

the subjects of saving, investments. ‘

“You are not dealing with a soulless

corporation,” said these brochures. .

“May we serve you? You need more ;

than friends. Before acting, you ,

should have your judgment vindicated

by an organization of investment spe-

cialists. You may have relatives and

friends, some of whom would gladly r

advise you on investments. But per— ‘ ’

haps you rightly feel that the less

they know about your financial affairs,

the better. To handle trusts, and to

care for the securities of widows and

orphans, is our business.”



It was startling to note how this

sort of thing mounted into millions.



“Women are becoming more and more



used to the handling of money,” Paula



said, shrewdly. “Pretty soon their ,

patronage is going to beras valuable 5

as that of men. The average woman .

doesn’t know about bonds—about bond

buying. They think they’re something

mysterious and risky. They ought to ’

something, Dirk, about classes in ,

—to talk to these women.”

Paula was right.

Hempel’s shrewdness and- business

foresight had descended; to her. The





 





" women came—widows with money to





invest; business women who had

thriftify saved a portion of their sal-

cries; moneyed women who wanted to

manage their'own property, or who re-

sented a husband’s interference Some

came out of curiosity. Others for lack

of anything better to do. Others to

gaze on the well—known banker or law-

yer or business man who was sched-

uled to address the meeting. Dirk

spoke three or four times during the

winter and was‘ markedly a favorite.

The women, in smart crepe gowns and

tailored suits and small chic hats, twit-

tered and murmured abdut him, even

while they sensibly digested his well-

thought-out remarks. He looked very

handsome, clean-cut, and distinguished

there on the platform .in his admirably

tailored clothes, at small white flower

in his buttonhole. . He talked easily,

clearly, fluently; answered the ques-

tions put to him afterward with just

the right mixture of thoughtful hesi-

tation and confidence.



It was decided that for the nationaI

advertising there must be an illustra-

tion that would catch the eye of wom-

en, and interest them. The person to

do it, Dirk thought, was this Dallas

O‘Ma1a whose queer hen-track signa—

tme you saw scrawled on half the ad-

vertising illustrations that caught your

eye. Paula had not been enthusiastic

about this idea.



“M-m-m, she’s very good,” Paula had

said, guardedly, “but aren’t there oth-.

ers who are better?’



“She!” Dirk had exclaimed. “Is it

a woman? I didn’t know. That name

might be anything." _



“Oh, yes, she’s a woman. She’s sa1d

to be very—very attractive’



Dirk sent for Dallas O’M-aia. She

replied, suggesting an appointment

two weeks from that date. Dirk de-

cided not to wait, consulted other

commercial artists, looked at their



work heard their plans outlined, and

Was satisfied with none of them. The

time was short. Ten days had passed.

He had his secretary call Dallas

O’Mara. on the telephone. Could she

come down to see him that day at

eleven?



No: she worked until four daily at

her studio.



Could she come to his office at foul-

thilty, then?



Yes, but wouldn’t it be better if he

could come to her studio where he

could see something of the various

types of drawings—oils 01 black- and-

white, or crayons. She was working

mostly in crayons now



All this relayed by his secretary at

the telephone to Dirk at his desk. He

jammed his cigarette- -end viciously in-

to a tray, blew a final infuriated

wraith of smoke, and picked up the

telephone connection on his own desk.

“One of those damned temperamental

near-artists trying to be grand,” he

muttered, his hand ove1 the mouth-

piece. “Here, Miss Rawlings—I’ll talk

to her. Switch her over.”



“Hello, Miss—uh~0’ Mara. This is

Mr. DeJong talking I much prefer

that you come to my oflice and talk

to me’ (No more of this nonsense).



Her voice: “Certainly, if you prefer

it. I thought the other would save us

both some time. I'll be there at four-

thirty.” Her voice was leisurely, low,

rounded. An admirable voice. Restful.



“Very well. Four-thirty,” said Dirk,

crisply. Jerked the receiver onto the

hook. That was the way to handle

’em. These females of forty with

straggling hair and a bundle of draw-

ings under their arm.



The female of forty with straggling

hair and a bundle of drawings under

her arm was announced at four-thirty

to the dot. Dirk let her wait five min-

utes in the outer office, being still a

little annoyed. At four-thirty—five there

entered his private office a tall slim

girl ina smart little broadtail jacket,

fur-trimmed skirt, and a black hat at

once so daring and so simple that even

a man must recognize its French na-

tivity. She carried no portfolio of

drawings under her arms.



Through theman’s mind flashed a

series of unbusinesslike thoughts such





as: “Gosh! . Eyes! . . That’s

way I like to see girl dress . . Tir-

ed looking . No guess it’s her

eyes—sort of fatigued. . . . Pretty

. . . No, she isn't .'. yes, she

“l’ ll tell you the sort of thing we

want, Miss O’Mara.” He told her.

When he had finished she probably

would burst out with three or four

plans. The others had done that.



When he had finished she said, “I’ll

think about it for a couple of days .

while I’m working on something else.

I always do. I’m doing an olive soap

picture now. I can begin work on

yours Wednesday.” ,





“But I’d like to see ittthat is, I’d

he was going to let her go ahead with-

out consulting his judgment! ‘





“Oh, it will be all right. But drop

into the studio if you like. It will take

me about a week, I suppose. I’m over

on Ontario in that old studio building.

You’ll know it by the way most of the

bricks have fallen out of the building

and are scattered over the sidewalk.

She smiled a slow wide smile. Her

teeth were good but her mouth was

too big, he thought. Nice big warm

kind of smile, though. He found him-

self smiling, too sociably. Then he

became businesslike again. Very bus-

inesslike.





“How much do you—what is your—

what would you expect to get for a

drawing such as that?’



“Fifteen hundred dollars,” said Miss

O’Mara.



“Nonsense.” He looked at her then.

Perhaps that had been humor. But

she was not, smiling. “You mean fif-

teen hundred for a single drawing?”



‘Fo1 that sort of thing, yes ”



“I’m afraid we can’t pay that, Miss

0’ Mara. ”



Miss O’Mara stood up. “That is my

price.” She was not at all embarrass-

ed.. He 1ealized that he had never

seen such effortless composure. It

was he who was fumbling with the ob—

sheet of paper, a blottel. “Good- bye,

hand. He took it. Her hair was gold

a single knot at the back of her head,

low. He took her hand.

“VVel’l. if that’s your price, Miss

“Not any crazier than the prices you

top—notchers get.”



“Still, fifteen hundred dollars is

quite a lot of money.”



“I think so, too. But then, I’ll al-

ways think anything over nine dollars

is quite a lot of money. You see, I

used to get twenty-five cents apiece fox

She was undeniably attiactive. “And

now you’ve arrived. You’re successful.”



“Arrived! Heavens, no! I’ve

started.”



“Who gets more money than you do

for a dlawlng?”



“Nob Ody, I suppose.”



“Well, then?



“Well, then 11, 1.1 another minute I’ll

be telling you the story of my life.”



She smiled , again her slow wide

smile; turned to leave. Dirk decided

that while most women’s months were

merely features this girl’s was a. dec-

oration.



She was gone. Miss Ethelinda Quinn

et al., in the outer office, appraised the

costume of Miss Dallas O’Mara from.

her made-toorder footgear to her

made-in-France millinery and achieved

a lightning mental reconstruction of

their own costumes. Dirk DeJong in

the inner oflice realized that he had

ordered a fifteen-hundred—dollar draw-

ing, sight unseen, and that Paula was

going to ask questions about it.



“Make a note, Miss Rawlings, to call

Miss O’Mara’s studio on Thursday.” .

OUSECLEANING is scarcely out



of the way before itis time to



give thought to our canning bud-

get, a thing which is as essential to

the health of the family as is the finan-

cial budget to the pecuniary well-be-

ing of the family. , ~





serve at least one vegetable other than

potatoes at each meal, and to .main-

tain this health rule throughout the





quantity early in our canning program

It is not always wise to can a product

to save it, for an over-supply of one

food drags on the family’s appetite for

that particular food.



The products direct from your gar-

den are full of vitamines and are the

very best to can. It behooves every

housewife to take advantage of her

garden during these coming four

months of production if she would save

her winter grocery bill during the fol-

lowing eight months.



Plan Your Budget Wisely.



For the eight months when your

gardens are not producing, you will

need, greens, five quarts; tomatoes,





 





Canned Vegetables that Are Blanched

and Cold-dipped Have Better Flavor.



ten quarts; other vegetables, fifteen

quarts; fruits, including jellies, thirty

quarts; and meats, thirty quarts. This

makes a total of ninety quarts per per-

son for the eight months.





By all means can your full quotaof

vegetables. Many of our readers com-

plain that their often flat sour, that

is, the canned vegetable will look as

if it were keeping, but when opened

will have a sour taste and a disagree-

able odor. This trouble is especially

true with peas, corn, beans, and as-

paragus. Spoilage of this sort is often

caused from the product having been

allowed to stand too long before can-

ning. All vegetables should be canned

within a few hours after they are tak-

en from the garden. Blanch, cold dip

and pack one jar at a time and place

each jar in the canner as packed. The

first jars will not be affected by the

extra cooking. This blanching and

cold dip process is very essential and

must not be neglected.



Problems in Canning.





Sometimes, molds. form on canned

foods. ,This is caused from removing;

tops from jars at the end of the ster~

ilization period, or by substituting new

rubbers which have not ‘ been steril-

ized. Leaky rubbers or defective tops

will also permit. air to enter the jar

and cause mold.

water has a large quantity of mineral





elements, that may also cause them to

be cloudy. Permitting the product to

remain too long in the blanching proc-

ess or handling roughlyso as to crack

the skins, tends to make the liquor

cloudy. ‘ , '



When fruit or vegetables rise-in the

jar, the liquid is the heavier.- To pre-

vent this use less sugar or salt. Fruits

or vegetables that have not been prop~

erly blanched will rise to the top of

the jar as the .imblanched fruit is not

pliable and will not pack closely.



We have available a very limited

supply of bulletins giving in detail the

steps in the cold pack method‘of can-

ning, a time-table for canning fruits

and vegetables, and explaining other

problems in canning. For a copy, send

DOES AND DONT’S cs DYElNG.





 





HE most difficult problem of the

woman“ who does home dyeing is

getting a satisfactory color and the

desired shade. ‘ - - '



In addition to the standard colors

found on dye color cards, special'col-‘

ors, such as Harding blue, fawn and

henna may be used by combining two

or more packages of dye of different

colors. Direction formulas for mixing

these colors may be procured where

the dye is purchased.



It is not always possible to dye a

piece of goods the desired color. The

original color always influences the

new one. Red over blue will produce

purple, blue over yellow, green, etc.

Much of the old color may be dis-

charged by boiling in warm soapy wa-

ter, (clear water for wool and silk).

This makes it much easier to get a

satisfactory color. Navy blue will cov-

er almost any shade. Black‘ will cover

any color. In using black over red,





Don’t Forget





HE fundamental problem in the

rural life of America today, is

that of developing and main-

taining a healthy and satisfactory

home life upon our many farms. The

farm is the corner stone of our nation-

al prosperity. This is a fact, which

In our farm

homes is to be found the normal

American life. The farm problem,

then, is the problem of maintaining a

standard people upon these farms.

This can only be brought about by

making our labor mere effective and

by providing against social starvation

through community effort. The cause

for much of the exodus cityward of

our young people lies in the latter

fact. Rural neighborhoods which have

maintained recreational centers have

little or no difliculty in holding their

oWn against the call of\the city. The

young people are satisfied in this en-

vironment, feel the need of a college

training and return to build even a

better rural standard. .

Let us remember that play is the

serious business of childhood, the sat-

ety valve of youth, the recreation of

middle life and the rejuvenation of

our older years. ,No man, .w0man or

child is at their best -who does not,

know how to play. We can not hope

How to Play





to work and how to play together in

If fathers and mothers 'knew more

of play—were looking on the bright

side rather than the drab side of life——

our children would Want to remain on

the good old farm, because it would

satisfy‘them physically, mentally, and

spiritually. We are co—workers with

God in our job of farming.





But the pity! when we see men and

women or middle life who have for-

gotten’ what fun or a good laugh is.





Would you expect the children of such _





parents to remain on the farm? I

know, sometimes, it’s pretty hard to

laugh when your back feels like break-

ing, but pin up a few funny things

from the humorous column of .any pa-

per and read one of them at this time.

It’s_only' a moment of time, but the

help to your back is marvelous. Com-

ing from town to the farm thirty years

ago I can look back on my experiences

and have many a laugh. The first

chicken dressed—the first bread bak-

ed—e—the first ga‘rden made, etc., and

isn’t it a satisfaction to know you met/

, lost in the Big Woods. His moth“

' er had been taken away by a hunter



’ ' and he had begun to cry, just as all

little bears do when they find their

mamma bear gone. But Bruin had met

him and taken him home to live with

Rally Rabbit and himself. These three

animal talks soon became fast friends

and they taught the Little Brown Bear

many lessons.



One evening as these three animal

friends were sitting about the door of

their little house after their evening

meal, Brownie was asking, as usual,

; many questions about things of life

‘. and nature in Woodland

»> “Does the Man in the Moon always

smile?” asked Brownie, as he studied

the big face that shone down at him.

“I don’t believe so,” answered Bruin.

“At ‘least not when little bears are

naughty.” .

“But i haven’t been naughty today,”

"em as sure Bear: , . -





 





 





 





Woddland





“No,” said Bruin, “and see how

broadly the Man in the Moon is smil-

ing tonight.”



“What makes’ the violets blue and

the Iillies white?” was Brownie’s next

question, as he looked at the vases

of these flowers in the window, that

he had gathered on the hillside near

their house.





Rolly Rabbit answered this question

for him. “I think Mother Nature plan~

ned it that way. You wouldn‘t like to

have all the flowers the same color"



“Where does Mother Nature live?”

asked Brownie.





Then Rolly Rabbit . carefully ex-

plained all about who Mother Nature

was, but he could not tell where she

lived, as she was the fairy who was in

so many places at the very same time,

in fact, every place in the world.





“How big is the world?” was Brown- -





ie’s next question.

all Woodland?”

“Oh, ever and ever‘so much larger,”

explained Bruin. “Would you like to

see a part of it?" asked Bruin.

“Oh, yes, very, very much,”

Brownie, all excited.





”.Twice as big as





said





Bruin had always wanted to see the

distant part of the country his mother

told him about, and Rolly Rabbit want—

ed very much to go, too. So it was

that the very next day these three

Woodland friends tied part of their

worldly possessions in a bandanna at

the end of a stick, shouldered it in

true traveler’s fashion, and started out

on an adventure to see new countries. ‘

MASH FOR CHICKS.





I see by the Michigan Farmer of

May 9, that a growing mash is good

for baby chicks Will you kindly give

me the formula? Should bran be fed?

Is there any place one could get a

book on how to raise little chicks and

how to house them? We are thinking

about getting 1,000. How many should

be in a pen together? Is it all right to,

plant oats in the chicken run for the

little chicks to feed on ?——J. .



A good chick mash can be made of

200 pounds of bran, 100 pounds flour

middlings, 100 pounds of corn meal,

100 pounds of sifted ground oats, sev-

enty-five pounds of fine ground meat

scrap. twenty-five pounds of dried pow-

dered buttermilk, ten pounds of bone

meal, ten pounds of calcium carbonate.





dried buttermilk starting mashes for

the chicks, even though they mix all

their laying mashes at home. The

large number of ingredients needed for

the very best results make it rather

complicated to gather them together

for a few hundred chicks.



The Michigan State College Poultry

Department, East Lansing, will send

”you circulars on raising chicks. The

book, “Productive Poultry Husbandry,”

by. Lewis, published by the J. B. Lip-

pincott (30., Philadelphia, is one of the

best practical poultry books. You will

have the best results with baby chicks

when not over 300 are placed with

each brooder. When chicks are raised

in small fenced yards, cats are all

right to plant for green feed.





 





GOSLINGS IN ORCHARD.





Will you kindly tell me if it will do

any harm to my geese and little gos-

lings to let them run in the orchard

alter spraying the trees with arsenate

of lead. We sowed the orchard to

oats purposely for them.——Mrs. L. P.



I have no record of geese, goslings,

old hens 01' chicks ever being injured!

by eating the grass under fruit trees

after the trees have been sprayed with

arsenate of lead or other materials.

The fine film of spray dope on the

grass usually contains an insufficient

quantity of poison to injure even

chicks or goslings.



However, a thick mixture of spray

dope, such as the residue in the bot-

tom ot' a. spray tank should never be

emptied where poultry or stock can

eat it. An examination of the grass

under the trees will be the practical

method of solving the problem.





BOILED POTATOES FOR CHICKS.





What is the trouble with my baby





chicks? I have 100 incubator chickens

and have lost six, but have about fil—

teen that got sick. They seem to be

all right and all at once they lose con—

trol of then legs They all eat good

and drink. 1 have fed the chick feed

and curdled milk, boiled potatoes, and

am giving them a. poultry tonic. They





have diit to scratch in, and still they

get that way —Mrs. M. A. ".i





The feeding of boiled potatoes to

young chicks might not cause leg

W’eakness but might reduce their

strength. One of the commercial dried

buttermilk starting mashes will give

betterresults. The best prevention

of leg weakness is the direct rays of

the sun. 'When the chicks are outside

on a grassy range in the sunshine they

usually thrive. A good home-made

chick mash can be made of 200 pounds

of bran, 100 pounds of flour middlings,

100 pounds of corn meal, 100 pounds

of sifted ground oats, seventy-five

pounds of meat scrap ground fine,

twenty~five pounds of dried powdered

buttermilk, ten pounds of corn meal,

Knock! I Knock I Hello. Uncle Frahk:

Say, uncle, I have come to talk to my





, cousins‘and you, if you want' to listen.





I have had many day dreams, in them

I have visited large cities and, best (if

all—Fairyland. p



Cousins, what do you think more in-

teresting, wonderful or beautifulmrthan





 





 





 





. .1... 14.14:”..- h.._')..





Florence SaIewsky and the Latest

Arrivals in Puppies.





3. day spent with nature? There I

find all things more wonderful than in

either a city or Fairyland. What is

more ethereal than Nature’s wonders?



Come with me to our wood-lot. I

will show you the great things of large

cities. I will show you the subways,

the railroads, you can listen to the

most perfect music, hear the sweetest

singing, look in the most beautiful and

happy homes. I can show you a queen

ruling a nation, a. nation with paved

streets, and many greater things than

-man ever invented, greater things

than you ever dreamed of being in

Fairyland.





Are you cousins all coming, well,

here we go for a great adventure!



First we look at the subways. There,

see that little mouse, watch him! See

he has gone into a great subway.



NOW to listen to music of a. great

fiddler, come silently .here and sit

down while Honorable Mr. Cricket

plays a. tune more wonderful than any

composed by man. Grand, isn’t it?

Next we will listen to the greatest

singer ever. Come over by this wild

cherry tree and quietly listen. There,

hear that great singer, Mrs. Thrush?

She sings sweeter than any man or

woman ever thought of singing. Now

hark to the humming of Miss Bee.

She is also the lady who runs the

sugar factory and manufactures the

sweetest thing ever made—honey.

Miss Bee loves the perfume of flow-

ers, too.





 





Now we will visit the happy home

in the apple tree. Thpre is Mr. and

Mrs. Robin. Dear Mrs. Robin, she is

a busy but happy mother, isn’t she?



Are you ready now to see that great

nation with a proud queen? The name

of this powerful nation is “Colony of

Ants.” They have homes, soldiers,

servants, milkmaids, and live in a.

great highway section.



Now, just for a minute let’s see

something greater than Fairyland.

When the fairy godmother touched

Cinderella’s ragged garments they be-

came new. Well, there is a. thing with

many legs, a thing that you hate to

touch which we call a worm. Well,

good Mother Nature puts this thing to,

sleep and when it awakes it has the

most splendid wings of all colors.

What a. pretty butterfly!” I hear you

exclaim. Yes, it is wonderful and let

Dear Uncle'Frank: ,



There are just three Merry Circlei's

around here, that I know of, so there’s

no chance to have parties and things

like that, like ‘some do, especially

when one is a boy.“





' I think by the way the letters go,

some of the girls think there shoutdn’t

be any boys “at all in this club.



Uncle Frank, why should “Boys” be

before “Girls ?” in the girls’ and boys’

page? “Boys” are always first. They

are first in most everything anyway,

even at the dinner table. Of course,

men were made before women—Helen

Piper, Spruce, Mich.



Boys are first in name in this da-

partment, but the girls are first in

activity. Hope there will be more M.

C.’s in your neighborhood soon.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



May I join your wonderful,circle?

I read your letters each week. I an

a. lonesome girl.

see if I can’t find some friends. My

father was working for the city of

Lansing and was killed four years .ago.

My mother took sick soon after and

died. There Were eight children. we

are all far away from each other.



I am twelve years old. I am going

into the sixth grade next year. I

would have been farther than that if

I had not been changed around so

much. I am a girl who loves birds,

flowers, etc. I want some girl or boy

friend who does not use slang and is

not. silly in action. »





I forgot to say I have a nice home

and a father and mother. I have been

here about two years—From a. want-

to-becousin, Bernice Bailey, R. 1, Box

80, Elmira, Mich.



I am glad that you want to be a

Merry Circler. I hope you can gain

some nice friends through our Circle.

Well, here I amaga’ini It seems the ,

some. discussion started again.



not have this: _

sparrows be killed?” I have heard

some folks say they can’t see any rea-

son why the English sparrow should





be killed, as they destroy many in-‘

(Maybe they do destr’Oy some ,





sects.

insects, but they destroy other birds.

The other birds that are destroyed by

sparrows would destroy many more

harmful insects than the sparrow“ itself

Would. I have seen the sparrows go





into the bluebird houses, and drive the/





bluebirds away and then break the

bluebird’s eggs. Last summer a. thrush

had its nest in a tree, north of our

house. They had two eggs in it, then

I noticed that the thrush didn’t go-to

its nest any more, so I looked in the





. nest and I saw the thrush’s eggs were





broken and there was a. sparrow’s egg

Now, cousins, come on

and say something for the sparrows.—

Virdie M. Baer, R. 3, Remus, Mich.



I believe that it would be nice to

have a. few “chirps” on this sparrow

question. The sparrow is a much dis-

puted bird.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I think it is about time I was'send-

ing in my contribution to the Merry

‘Circle Fund. So I am sending one

dollar.

I guess it will have to do for this

time. I think it is a. very good plan to

use the money for the sickgirls and

boys. I am sure we will feel happier

to, think we did something to help

them, than if we bought something for

ourselves. At least I am.-+I remain,

Viola Brunais, Chief, Mich.



I agree with you that we get more

real happiness through doing some-

thing for others than through indulg-

ing in selfish pleasures.





 





DETROIT Bov' HONORED FOR

GOO/D SCHOLARSHIP.





 





HIGH distinction for his scholarship

recently was won by Randall C.

Kohler, step-son of Fred G. White, of





A Merry Circlcr’s F arcwcll





By One W /10 liar Rear/zed #16 Age Lz'mzt





Dear Uncle Frank:



Here is the little city cousin again,

this time with a frown upon her face,

“something that rarely happens.” Here

is the secret—my heart fairly beat

with gladness when I beheld the

poetry contest. I.hurried and got my

tablet and pen, and last, but not least,

my brain all set when something

came rushing into my mind, that I

was eighteen. With a. blink of my

eyes to keep back the tears, I replac~

ed the tablet and felt very badly. Why,

oh, Why did the years slip by so rap-

idly. But of course I suppose it has

to be, even if it was a real disappoint-

ment to me. Hum—such is life.



I could have kept on, you never

would know it, but as Lincoln states,

“Honesty is the Best Policy.” So it is.

I don’t want to live a life of fake. I

want to live a. life worth while.



A poem I read a. few days ago comes

to me as I write:





“if none but you in this world today

Had tried to live in a Christ—like way,

Could the rest of the world look close





at you

And find a path that is straight and

true?





If none but you in th world so wide,

Had fognd the Ch st for his daily

gui 9,





things you say





Would the " things you do, and the lumen Allen to to theglgghtmf ‘HLor





Lead others to live in His blessed

way? .





Then guard this treasure that you

possess, “



This power to hhrt, or help and bless,



And live so close to the standard true



That others may safely follow you!”





Three o’clock already? How time

flies, really must close, dear uncle and

cousins, and bid adieu. Lovingly, Gol-

die Kleinhardt.

THE MERRY CIRCLE FUND.

WE now have $100.21 in the fund.



That’s just about over the hun

dred dollar mark, but we need a heap

more to get those radios for the chil-

dren at the Tuberculosis Sanatorium

at Howell.





There are thousands of M. C.’s who

have not done their M. C. duty of help-

ing to spread happiness by contribut-

ing their five or ten cents to this fund.

It would please me greatly to see .a

large amount of small contributions

come in. This would show that the

M. C.’s are right on their job input-

ting across in a big way the fund

which M. C.’s themselves proposed.



You can send your share of this fund

either in stamps, money, P. 0. order

or check, to. Uncle Frank, Michigan

. and tell you that I got your money.

If you are over twelve years of age,

was difficult to tell whether the puz-

zles were original or copied. The first

few winners I know made original

puzzles and it looked as if all the

rest did, too. But in looking over the

contest papers, I found two puzzles

just alike, so I, am sure somebody has

been copying. A few lost~out because

they run words right together instead

of putting a black space between them.



I wish the boys and girls would be

honorable about these things, because

the winning of credits 01' prizes not

due one, does no good. It is a bad

habit to get into.



Some of the prize winning puzzles

will be run in the future.



The prize winners are as follows:

accordingly.





Hon. Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois,

was re-elected president for the new

year; L M. Thompson, .of Pennsyl-

vania, Was reelected vice-president;

D. B. Armstrong, of New York, Fred

Pabst, of Wisconsin, and T. E. Elder,

of Massachusetts, were re-elected as

directors, while Ruth McCormick, of

Illinois, and Harold Stimson, of Wash-

The next meeting will be held at Des

Moines, Iowa.



Full House at Banquet.



The banquet on Thursday evening

was a. most enjoyable event. The dual

toa‘stmas‘tership work by J. G. Hayes

and Howard Rather of the Michigan

State College, was a classic that fully

eliminated the necessity for digesters.



Here it was that Prof. O. E. Reed,

of the dairy department of the same

institution, defended the work of the

cow testers, and set forth reasons why

this extension service is of the utmost

advantage to breeders.‘ He declared

that cow testing work is doing more

than any other factor in putting the

dairy business on a profitable basis.



In Michigan the number of these as-

sociations have jumped from eleven to

110 in four years. Over seventy per

cent Of the members of the associa-

tions have Holstein cattle. Michigan

breeders in a. very practical wayhave

adopted this work as a part of their

breeding program. —He contended that

it is doing more to develop better

pure~bred herds than is advance reg-

istry work.





While the number of cows in testing

work the country over is around one

per cent, Genesee county has fifteen

per cent in testing associations, and

two townships of that county have

over twenty-five per cent enrolled.



Less than ten per cent of the~cows

in the herds of members have been

thrown out as undesirable. We can

understand, therefore, that the cow

testers are not only finding the poor

cows, but what is more important,

they are getting better care for the

entire herds. Members are not only

. developing greater skill in the hand-

ling of their herds, but observations

show clearly that these men are im-

proving their farming practices as a

consequence of their contact each

month with live cow testers. Focusing

attention on the milk pail and the

feed bills has led to a general disposal

of scrub sires and'n‘ow over ninety—five

per cent of the members in Michigan,

at least, are using pure-bred sires on

their herds.



This work does not conflict with the

advanced regiStry work of the breed

associations. It rather furnishes defi-

nite data upon which breeders can

judge more wisely as to proper mat-

ings. Furthermore, it is urging many

to substitute pure-bred cows. for scrub



‘and gradeanimals. In 1923, 4.6 per

cent of the cows in testing work in





_ Michigan" 'twere pure-bred, and last





 





' that and





, the too fa‘rfdll‘fiqan' expert in

El" eugenics from the southwest





undigespitfefouiz. present, or probable

future, tariff rates on dairy products.

«It is cow teating work in those coun-

tries that enables them to successfully

compete with us under the tariff hand-

icap. In Denmark 26.5 per cent of the

coWs are in testing associations and

in New zeeland ten per cent. are so

enrolled. _ ‘



'Dr. Kellogg Defends Milk.



Milk, rather than meat, is the es-

sential food, according to- Dr. Kellogg,

head of the Battle Creek Sanitarium

Only where the dairy industry has

been developed can we find that peo-

ples have been able to ascend to the

.higher levels of civilization.



It-is important that we establish

milk as the central factor of our. diet,

because food handlers haye greatly

impaired our food supplies, and we are

being urgedby purveyors of less val-

uable food products to consume more

of their respective wares. He advised

that we should provide a quart of milk

to every member of the family daily

before a single cent is spent for other

foods. Milk is not only essential, but

it is indispensable.





He also brought to the attention of

the banqueters the"~ recent discovery

that conditions of the large intestine,

or colon, had a substantial bearing up-

on the mental condition of persons.

Poisons developed in the colon as the

result of putrefaction of food therein,

frequently result in impaired minds.

A considerable number of cases in

eastern hospitals where the colons of

insant victims have been removed re-

sulted in the complete recovery of a

high per cent of the patients. Milk, to

a large degree, prevents the develop—

ment of such conditions in the large

intestinal tract.

ESTABLISHES SALE RECORD FOR

CLO'VERLAND.





 





HOLSTEIN sale that was rather



outstanding for a farmer’s herd

took place May 20, when the thirty

cows and heifers owned by the late

C. R. Millar, of Manistique, were sold

at public auction.



Of this herd, it can be truly said



that it was the result of years of

breeding, weeding and feeding. The

cows were largely of the Sadie Vale

strain and with touches of Canary

Paul Fobes Longfleld. All the cows

of breeding age were bred to New-

berry Champion Pontiac.

5’; The value of cow testing association

records was clearly demonstrated. Al—

though not all had finished a. year of

testing in the association, enough was

there to show what each one was caps

able of doing.



Of the fifteen cows in milk, thirteen

were pure-bred Holsteins, one was a

pure-bred .Guernsey and one a grade

Holstein. The thirteen pure-bred Hol-

steins sold for an average of $197.30,

the top being $265. The grade Holstein

sold for $100 and the pure—bred Guern-

sey sold for $150.



Seven bred heifers, all pure—bred, av-

eraged $89.70 each, with the top ‘at

$110. Eight unbred heifers averaged

$67.50 each.





We believe this sets a record in the 3

Upper Peninsula, and coming at a time i





when prices are not so good, has a ten-

dency to make us all feel encouraged.

~—E. G. Amos.





 





WILL TEST coWs lN GOGEBIC.





 





' I ~HE Gogebic county board of super

visors has decided to provide for

a county-wide test of all cattle in the





county for bovine tuberculosis this

season. All infected herds will be

twice tested this season. This is the





fourth test in Gogebic county. A re-





test in Ontonagon county is under

way.

WHEAT





In spite of partial relief of the dry

weather, failure of European markets

to follow the upturns here and a slow

cash demand, wheat prices advanced

into new high ground after a setback

early in the week. Underlying condi-

tions continue quite strong but prices

have advanced over 40 cents from the

extreme low point two months ago, and

periods of hesitation until crop pros-

pects become more clearly defined, or

until cash demand enlarges, will not

be surprising. *



Unofficial forecasts on the wheat



crop were about as expected. The

average of four estimates, based on

comprehensive surveys, was 423,000,-

000 bushels of winter wheat and 241,-

000,000 bushels of spring wheat, mak-

\ing a total of 664,000,000 million bush-

els. This is 29,000,000 bushels less

than the 1924 harvest. These reports

did not include any allowance for dam-

age by the recent frost.





RYE





Unofficial estimates place the rye

crop at 55,000,000 bushels, against 63,-

400,000 bushels last year, and a five-

year average of 70,400,000 bushels.

Cash demand has been dull, with little

export buying, and the visible supply

has not decreased much in the last

two or three weeks. But, it is much

less than a year ago and the small

new crop points to a strong underly-

ing situation. European crop repor s

are favorable.





CORN





Corn prices failed to hold the-

strength of a week ago. Frost damage

seems to have been exaggerated and

liberal primary receipts have filled up



« the demand. The last visible supply

report showed only a small decrease.

.The market is now in the midst of the

June movement and, as this will cease

in a. week or two, a more buoyant tone

may develop. Unless further rains oc-

cur, also, complaint of dry weather

damage will be quite general. For the



' next two or three months, weather

developments will play a large part in

the trend of prices.

FEEDS





 





Offerings of wheat feeds are increas-'-





ing and the market is slightly easier.





Prompt shipment'feeds are still at a?





premium over deferred. Unfavorable

feed crop prospects in the west and

northwest is strengthening the market

for summer feeds. . ' '





POULTRY AND EGGS





A scarcity of high quality eggs kept

the market steady at unchanged prices

last week. Offerings are still liberal

although some decrease in receipts is

noted from week to week. Reports

from the country indicate much small-

er collections, and the usual summer

shrink in the lay, with an accompany-

ing spread in prices according to qual-

ity, is at hand. Accumulations of eggs

in storage during May were more than

a fourth less than in the same month

a year ago. While the reduction at

other points may not have been equal-

ly large, it is probable that the sur-

plus in total holdings on June 1 over

a yeair ago will be smaller than on

, Nervousness.—I have a Holstein

heifer due to come fresh next month.

.This will be her second calf. The first

time she came in was last summer,

and before that time, I noticed her

jerking a. portion of the time. She

didn’t give enough milk A. . B.,

Hillman, Mich—Give her thirty grains

of fluid extract of nux vomica at dose

in drinking water twice a day.



Feeding a Brood Sow—Kindly ad-

vise us as to whether or. not a ration

of skim-milk, fresh from the separator,

and corn on the ear, fed twice a day,

is suitable for a. brood sow about to

farrow. This ration was used on one

of our sows and all but one of the pigs

were born dead. Also, give us an idea

as to the proper ration to use. F. H.

treated when the cow is dry, for it 18

difficult to heal a, wound while the

milk filters through the opening. This
