THE farmers of Denmark have long

held the reputation of being the

foremost cooperators in the world.

Farm business cooperation has been

developed more extensively in Den-

mark than in any other country. It

will be disappointing to the friends of

cooperation in America, therefore, to

learn that the farmers’ cooperative

bank in Denmark has failed, with the

associated farmers’ creameries and

buying and selling cooperatives sus-

taining losses running into the mil-

lions Of dollars.

The cause of the collapse of the Dan-

ish Farmers’ Bank was the unsuccess-

ful attempt of the dairy cooperatives

to establish factories for the produc-

tion of condensed and powdered milk.

pose during the world war when prices

bring to the attention of farmers the





-_methods for properly caring for their





wood lots so that they may cut wood

freely and yet not diminish the supply.

The census for 1920 gave Kent county

credit for possessing 66,200 acres of

farm wood lot, or an average of twelve

to fifteen acres per farm.



The work started with Kent coun—

ty board of supervisors, when Julius

Tisch, a member from the city of

Grand Rapids, urged an, appropriation

for starting some reforestation work.

The money was not forthcoming. About

this time F. J. Walsh, a member of the

board from Nelson township brought

to the board’s attention the work in

thinning a piece of “oak grubs” by

Cyrus Tindall, a neighbor of his. The

work Mr. Tindal has 'done is a story in

itself and has been told in this paper.

Rapids. This property had been used

as a county work farm prior to the

adoption of the eighteenth amendment.

Later it was, and is still, used as an

aviation field. The two supervisors

mentioned conceived the idea of start-

ing a county forest plantation. The

soil was none of the best, but in the

spring of 1922 in cooperation with the

forestry department at the Michigan

State College, a start was made in

planting some trees. A dry year nearly

upset the plans, but the trees planted

in 1923 and 1924 have done well and

now some fifteen acres are growing

some fifteen thousand trees. This

work is in charge of L. C. Palmer, for—

ester employed by the Kent County

Road Commission. These, of which

the varieties are varied, will be sold

to Kent county farmers for planting

at a very small cost. This is one side

of the forestry work. The other has

to deal with another phase.



The wood lot conservation work of

Cyrus Tindall before mentioned, and

which has been written about in this

paper, so interested Mr. Walsh that

he set about to find a way to get it

before the farmers of Kent county. A

conservation committee of five mem—

bers was appointed on the Kent Coun-

ty Board of Supervisors. Mr. Walsh

was a member of it. Through this

committee and the Kent County Farm

Bureau it was .decided to put on a ser<

ies of meetings to interest the farmers

of Kent county in a reasonable plan

of farm wood lot conservation. Three

meetings were held in January and

contrary to expectation they were well

attended and a live interest shown.

At these meetings Mr. Walsh outlined

the plan of work for the county. Mr.

Tindall told of the work in his wood





’lot. R. F. Kroodsma, extension for-

ester from the Michigan State College,

talked on farm wood lot conservation,

and L. C. Palmer told of the work the

county is doing on its forest planta-

tion. Among some of those attending

there was a feeling of doubt as to the

value of the work. Yet the comeback

following the meetings has been ex-

cellent. Any number of those attend-

ing, upon reflection have expressed

themselves as much impressed with

the work. These meetings have been

carried on through the grange and

farmers’ clubs all winter. Everywhere

they have been well received, and yet

only a small part of the country has

been covered.



Another type of work has been at—

tempted with success. That is the ac—

tual thinning demonstration. Believ-

ing that “charity starts at home,”

Messrs. Walsh and Tindall staged a

thinning demonstration in a neighbor’s

wood lot early in February. Mr. Tin-

dall went out the previous day and

blazed out the trees that were to be

cut. Twenty men turned out to thin

and when they got through it was an

improved piece of woods. And the nice

thing of it all is, that it started a num-

ber of men in the locality doing the

same thing. In Sparta township 3.

number of men met on the Jesse

Bettes’ farm wood lot. Here "Messrs.

Walsh and Tindall got in some more

of their good work, and since that

meeting we have run across one or

two men who are planning on doing

this work.



Plans are being made for some sum-

mer work and for thinning meetings,

as well as indoor meetings the coming

fall and winter. This work is just get-

ting under way nicely in Kent county.

Interest is awakening in the work of

conserving the farm wood lot. Plant-

ing and reforestation is not the big

idea. It is saving what we have. If

Kent county farmers can be brought

to realize that their problem is to save

what timber they have, to take out

the right trees, to let the seedlings

come on and be given a chance, then

the conservation committee of the

board of supervisors,‘and the directors

of the Kent County Farm Bureau feel

they have started,

real piece of conservation work.



We believe that other counties

might find it well worth while to take

up the plan as outlined above. A well





selected committee of three to five

members from the board of supervis-

ors is the first requisite, then a small

Bettchroducts Bring Better Prices





Attention to Qna/ity Egg Production .4de Mnon to Profit;

By R. G. Kirby





HERE is a wide‘range in the

prices which producers receive

for strictly fresh eggs. Today,

June 30, the sign in the Michigan State

College dairy building reads, M. S. C.

Eggs, forty-five cents per dozen. One

wholesale buyer who comes through

our section is paying twenty—eight

cents per dozen. Another is paying

twenty-nine cents, and the twenty-nine

cent price is quoted- in -our local pa-

per. The stores are paying twenty-

nine cents and some of them sell eggs

as low as thirtyxfour cents per dozen.

The wholesale buyers furnish their

own crates and the' producer saves on

boxes. But it is evident that the profit

on eggs at twenty~eight cents per doz-

en is very small, compared with the

profit on the forty—five cent eggs. Some

producers who sell to private custom-

ers are receiving thirty-five to forty

cents per dozen. Others receive close

to the college price. In our district I .

believe that the producers with a good

number of private customers are mak-

ing the most on eggs.

The cardboard cartons holding one





dozen eggs each can be purchased

with the name of the producer on the

outside for about $10 per thousand.

That is approximately one cent per

dozen. A good-looking box is essential

in selling eggs direct. It not only in-

creases the price buyers will pay for

the eggs, but gets the business. Buy-

ers do not wish to carry away eggs

in paper sacks.



We do not use boxes just to charge

more for the eggs. The eggs are worth

the money without the boxes. The

cartons are just the necessary equip-

ment which enables the producer to

sell the eggs for what they are worth.



In developing a private trade it is

necessary to keep the number of reg-

ular customers dOWn to about the num-

ber of eggs which can be supplied at

allseasons. When there is a surplus

they can readily be sold~ at wholesale.

But a good line of private customers

should not be built up in the spring

and dropped during the fall and win-





ter in anticipation of bringing them

back the next spring.



Keep two classes of customers. The

cream of the trade can practically be

guaranteed a steady supply of fresh

eggs at all seasons. The next install—

ment of customers can be supplied

when the eggs are available. They

will consist of the transient buyers.

All eggs above their requirements can

be sold at wholesale. But have your

regular customers depend on you and

you depend on them. The more of

that class of buyers you can accom-

modate the better the egg profits.



' Quality Eggs Pay.



Regular customers exhaust the egg

supply promptly so that eggs are sel-

dom held more than two or three days.

Then gather the eggs twice a day in

hot weather and keep them in a cool

room. Even fertile eggs will give good

satisfaction in hot weather if properly

handled. Of course, it is much better

to sell infertile eggs. Then they will





keep in better condition if buyers han-

dle them carefully before they are

used.



It pays to grade the eggs and not

include any small or unclean eggs

among the high gr rade stock. Eggs

that are abnormal in shape spoil the

appearance of a dozmi box. Form the

angel food cake habit during the sum«

mer and use up a lot of the off—grade

eggs on the home table. There is not

much profit in trying to market any-

thing but eggs of good apeparance.



Wholesale bUY( rs who go through

the country and buy or trade groceries

for eggs cannot be blamed for not pay-

ing more than most of them pay at

present. They frequently take eggs at

little too small to grade as first— class

stock. They often receive eggs that

are very dirty, due to unclean nests

or broken eggs They cannot pay more

than the storage companies will give

them for the eggs, and if they make a.

small profit for buying, crating and

selling ’the eggs, it is usually earned.

One must expect to pay for such ser-

vice rendered.

CURRENT COMMENT





 





 





E have had an



Com ensa- unusual season

. p f I! thus far. One might

hens a t e almost call it a dis-

Drougllt couxaging one. Fmsts





and d1y weather have

played hob With many a farme1’ s p1os—

pective 1925 income. But even so, it

is not without its value, an example,

again, of the fact that there is nothing

without its compensations.





The results of the dry spell at a time

when rains are usually abundant was

the increased appreciation of the val~

no of alfalfa and sweet clover as rough-

age crops. When other grasses looked

burned up, alfalfa and sweet clover

were luxuriantly green. Even though

they did not make an average crop,

they made something, and besides, the

rains have come to help out the crops

of alfalfa yet to be cut this season.

Because of this, an acreage of alfalfa,

or sweet clover, has been the salva-

tion of many a farmer as far as rough-

age is concerned.





The mystery has been taken out of

alfalfa growing. All the ifs, buts and

ands which existed a few years ago

have disappeared. Its value and an

understanding of its favorable growing

conditions have made alfalfa a com—

mon crop. The greatest problem now

seems to be to keep worthless seeds

off of the market. The State College

authorities are doing what they can

to get to the farmer seed suitable for

good alfalfa growing in this state. A

national tour to the Grimm alfalfa

seed sections early in August is a step

toward bringing to greater realization

the need of the right kind of seed.





We are glad that farmers have come

to realize the value of alfalfa and are

planting freely this year. For this, the

drought is due at least one good

credit mark. May it not be that the

losses resulting from the drought will

indirectly be the causes of greater

profits in the future.





HAT is the com-





What mon question now

is Your“ instead of, “What is

. your medicine?” It

Diet? shows a change in





methods of health



maintenance in the human body.

Under natural conditions man’s body

is self-regulating and self—maintaining

because man eats natural foods and

lives naturally. But with civilization

has come unnaturalness, with changes





through our commercial development,





 





beanie 11mm





foodstufls have been devitalized to

make them appeal to the eye and the‘

palate, instead of to the needs of the

body.



This has brought on many new dis-





eases and increased the frequency of





old ones With this has come many

isms, ologies, germs, toxines and the

like. But the fundamental fact remains

that disease does not come without

cause, and what we eat, drink and

breathe brings about most all of the

prevailing causes.



Doctors are beginning to realize this

and are giving their attention to get-

ting rid of causes instead of symptoms

and are therefore turning from dope

to diet. Most generally it means that

the patient muSt return to whole grain

breads, cut down the consumption of

sweets and starches, and add to the

consumption of green vegetables and

fruits. ,



The farmer who is a good live stock

feeder knows the basic principles of

feeding. Fundamentally, they are the

same for humans as for live stock. We

wonder if these good-feeder farmers

have realized that their knowledge

would benefit themselves if applied

personally.



When we will get to learn such a

simple and fundamental thing as right

eating, many of our sicknesses will

disappear, even such dreaded ones as

cancer, tuberculosis, rheumatism, and





the like.

ITH the great

Maintain- trend toward

ing Farm the cities, one often

_ wonders if our rural

Populatton population will not

dwindle to a danger

point. But when one surveys the im-





migration figures he is assured that

it will not, for the present at least.



Through our present selective immi-

gration laws we are getting annually

about 25,000 skilled farmers from the

countries which are noted for their

farming activities. For instance, Hol—

land, which produces the highest type

of farmer, has filled thirty-seven per

cent of its quota allowed under our

laws, with farmers. Germany has sent

twenty per cent of its, quota in farm-

ers, or about 10,000, and Germans are

always good farmers.





Denmark has contributed over 700

to our farm population, and little Swit-

zerland has sent over 800. It leads in

percentage of farmers its quota with

forty per cent. Sweden, Norway and

Belgium have also added to the 25,000

who have come over.





We are glad to add these sturdy, in-

dustrious people to our farm popula-

tion. They make goo-d citizens and

help to strengthen agriculture, the

bed—rock of our national conservatism

and sanity. We are glad that many of

these people have realized the advan-

tages of Michigan as an agricultural

us of the greatest





Difficulty difficulties of law

of Law En” enforcement is the

laws themselves.



forcement There are too many





of them. For instance,

it is stated that a policeman, to fully

do his duty would have to know about

25,000 statutes. Probably some of them

know twenty~five of them. Not only is

it hard for the police, but for the pub-

lic also. What is the poor law-abiding

citizen going to do unless he has a

good memory and the time to commit

these laws to his memory?





Complexity of our laws is what

tends to keep our legal profession a

profitable one, just as big names for

little bugs and simple diseases, are

likely to make the medical profession





ness of forgetting to‘ enforce it. , The





blind~pigs which can be noted by all,





.’who are not blind, are‘ evidence of

that

cut, even though they, are contrary to

the law and, the law 'enforCers, the

police, pass them every day. _





If a. law-abiding citizen reports a pig, ‘





he is asked how he knows. Seeing

drunken men come out is circumstan-

tial evidence, which isn’t sufficient. To

admit that one was in and had a drink

is criminal. And it seems. that the

law enforcers are .more ambitious to

enforce minor infractions than major

ones. ,



The forces of evil are well organ-

ized. Their money talks so well that

it makes some people who should en-

force the law financially interested in

not doing so.





The fault is not with thé law, but

with the enforcement of it. One can

hardly expect those not in sympathy

with a law to make it eflective.

until we have fewer laws to enforce,

and more people interested in law en:

forcement, active in making them ef-

fective, can we approach the ideal in

this respect. '





REPORT from our





;FHabits Washington cor-

d D. _ respondent states that

at? .' "fer the latest census fig-

stftcatlon ures show that the





number of dairy cows

in the south are decreasing. This is

despite the efforts of ,state depart-

ments of agriculture and the extension

workers.



In 1920 when the slump in cotton

came, the south was left flat. Then

farmers listened to the diversification

appeal, and many attempts at diversi-

fied farming were started. But cotton

has come back since and all have gone

back to raising cotton again.



The cotton-growing south, thropgh

many years of activity is all set in

social, labor and other aspects, for

cotton groWing. The\customs of farm-

ing were established 'around cotton,

and to change breaks up those long

established customs.



'The habits of a people are hard to

change; they are altered only through

necessity. As long as old methods are

profitable, others are not considered

necessary. But times are coming when

social and labor conditions, and the

matter “of profitableness will bring

about the change in the south. Then

will come the awakening of the south

and the realization of the potential





possibilities of the south in helping to





feed this rapidly growing nation.





Not only in the south are habits set.

Even in this state it takes unprofit-

ableness to force new methods. The

potato growing situation is an illus-

tration of this fact. Greater diversifi-

cation for the potato glowei and im-

proved methods of growing and hand

ling potatoes themselves are the fac-

tors which will solve the problem.



We must ever remember that life is'

change, and even in farming changes

must be made to keep in pace with the

altering times.

This was the opinion

voiced by Dr. David Friday, former

president of the Michigan Agricultural

College, in an address before the Na-

tional Association of Credit Men at

their Washington convention.



It was predicted by Dr. Friday that

this summer will see hogs selling for

$15 a hundredweight in Chicago, and

and fifty-nine cents in May of 1913.

In answer to the argument that the

corn crop is short this year, Dr. Friday

said that 1913 was also a year of

short crops.





It was the contention of Dr. Friday

that the people now engaged in farm-

ing can increase their output to meet

the growth of populatiOn for several

decades to come if the price induce-





ment is sufficient, without developing





new land for agriculture. There is

every prospect that prices will be prof-

itable, and that the farmer will find in

them sufficient inducement to feed the

people of this nation abundantly as:

he has fed them in years gone by;i;

and that they will yield him a reward

which will enable him to maintain a.

constantly increasing standard of

living.

was used by the perfessor the oth-

er day and it made me think how

smart he was.





I hada look in Mr. Webster’ s excitin’

book for a long time, but after a while

I found Mr. proclivity in the same

neighborhood as the word perfessor.

It says that proclivity means inclina-

shun. So, why didn' t the perfessor say

inclinashun? I guess it was just ta

show that he knew somethin’ the rest

0’ us didn’t know. Ta use the word

proclivity when you kin use inclina-

shun is what you call false modesty.



But, you know, this word proclivity

just shoWs the proclivities o’ the en-

lish languige. It

likes ta spread it-

self; it ain’t efli-

shunt. Why ain’t

inclinashun j u s t

as good ? And

what’s the use 0’

havin’ two words

mean the same

thing when one

will do as well? I

I say the english languige needs the

waste cut outa it.





Now, there’s the word waste.

is a fellow goin’ ta know when ta

spell it waste or waist. The only

thing about this waste business is that

you kin crack a joke about it. You

kin say when somebody is eatin’ food

that it is goin’ ta waist. You kin laf

if you want ta, ’cause maybe you new

or heard that joke before. Or, if you

don’t like that one you kin say that a

fellow’s arm is goin’ ta waist on a

moonlight night if he is got a girl

with him, and it is goin’ ta waste if he

ain’t. Of course, that ain’t no joke fer

marred men. Their arms is all used up.





But speakin’ o’ proclivities again. It

seems that arms has the proclivities o’

goin' ta waist when the conditions is

right and sometimes when they ain’t.

And sometimes she has the proclivities

o’ lettin’ it stay theie, and sometimes

she ain’t. Her pioclivities depends a

whole lot on the sir and the ciicum-

stances.





 





How





And speakin’ o’ proclivities again;

mine is vast. And Sofie’s is jawin’ me

about mine. But I don’ t think a fellow

should give his self any more wear

and tear than is necessary.





More about this wear and tear ,bus-

iness next Week. My proclivities is ta

stop when I’ve said enough, and I

guess that’s about what I’ve done now.

L. I, ‘CIENCE’has again claimed one of

.- , ' the pet toys'of childhood and made





ed States Weather Bureaus, according

to Dewey A. Seeley, head of the Unit-

ed States Weather Bureau at East

Lansing, home of the Michigan State

College. - "





For many days, casual observers

have seen. toy balloons ascending over

the campus, much to their surprise

and bewilderment, for Michigan State

College is among the higher institu-

tions and not a children’s playground.

Upon investigation, it was found that

the local weather bureau uses ordi-

nary rubber balloons‘, s‘tyled pilot bal-

loons, to make wind and air current

explorations in the air. '





Within the last week, (June 25), a

balloon tag was returned to the East

Lansing Station from Ontario, Canada,

where it was picked up by a farmer.

« The East Lansing station is only one

i ‘of many stations making similar ob-

' servation.





Eight weather bureau stations, and



a considerable number of army and



navy posts, now cooperate in making



daily observations of the wind direc-



tion and velocity in the upper air.



} These observations are made at three



p. m., central standard time, and tel-



(' egraphed to Chicago where an upper



? air map and forecast of wind condi-



tions is made for the entire country.



This is supplied to those interested,



chiefly the air mail service and var-

ious flying fields.





The method of making the upper air

‘ . explorations is not involved. A rub-

ber balloon is filled with a 'gas, (light-

er than air), usually hydrogen, to a

diameter of three feet, the size de—

pending upon the weight of the rubber

in the empty balloon, and the rate of

ascent desired. In other words, it has

been determined by experiment that

given a. definite “lift” the balloon will

ascend at a fixed rate each ominute.

‘ This is important in the calculation of

the wind velocity, giving the value of

one side of a right angle triangle in

which the elevation angle of the bal-

loon is the other factor. The balloon

is filled and a tag attached bearing

the address of the local, station and

request that it be returned by finder.

It is then released, generally on the

'sixtieth or thirtieth second point of

the watch. An observer now “fights”

on it with a stationary surveyor’s in-

strument, called a. theodolite. At the

end of sixty seconds two readings are

made from this instrument, the angles

of elevation and azimuth. , Successive

readings are made every minute, some-

times for over an hour, to altitudes of

five miles or more. The results found

from these observations are often

quite contrary to the conditions at the

earth’s surface. The surface wind is

always less than that found aloft—or

almost always so—due to the interfer-

ence at the ground of trees, buildings,

etc, and this fact is quite marked dur-

ing the first few minutes as the bal-

loon rises above the interfering ob-

jects. Then the direction is frequently

quite different above the surface than

at the ground. The east and southeast

surface winds that generally precede

a rainy period do not as a rule persist

to very high altitudes and as these

higher levels are reached there is usu-

ally found some westerly direction,

southwest, west or northwest. The

turning of the earth on its axis gives

rise to what is known as the “prevail—

ing westerlies” which are generally

found in the higher levels of the at-

mosphere, regardless of what the sur-

face winds may be.



Observations can not be made dur~

ing a rainfall as the rain would inter-

fere with the normal ascension of the

balloon and prevent accurate or reli-

able calculation of the wind velocity.

Clouds, especially low clouds accom-

panying rain also interfere with the

securing of very satisfactory records

as the balloon becomes lost in the

cloud sheet after several minutes,





forcing discontinuance of the .obser-" '





vation. _

The longest observation made at the





local station occurred several years.





ago when the balloon was seen for

three hours and six minutes, to an

altitude of approximately fifteen miles.

Frequently the balloon is seen to alti-

tudes of seven and eight miles, a

height ec'lipsing the airplane altitude

record, which is about 38,000 feet. At

this point the air becomes too rarified

for successful operation of the air-

plane engines. High wind velocities

are often found in the upper levels of

the atmosphere, the highest observed

at Lansing being 186 miles per hour

at 6,000 meters elevation, in Decem-

ber, 1919. A velocity of 112 miles was

found but twothirds of a mile above

the ground one afternoon during the

early part of June, this year. The

velocities are mainly the result of the

pressure distribution at the time of the

observation and where there is a par-

ticularly steep pressure gradient high

winds are usually found in the balloon

flight.





The balloons as a rule burst after

some hours, their ascentinto regions

of lighter air resulting in their expan-

sion to the bursting point. They are

frequently carried long distances, how-

ever, before falling and the little re-

turn tags have been sent back. from

points a thousand miles or so east~

ward. A tag was returned from Rut—

land, Vermont, in one instance. Many

come in from Canada and states to

the east and southeast, Ohio, Virginia,

New York, Pennsylvania, contributing

their quota throughout the year. The

largest per cent fall within the bounds

of Michigan, while many tags fall in

out of the way places and are never

found. A “return” was received June

24 from Electric, Ontario, Canada. The

tag was picked up by Martel Coveny,

found by him in his hayfield. It had

fallen there presumably six months

ago, the balloon having been sent up

at this station on December 21, 1924.

The tag was well weather-marked and

the date of release almost illegible.





Pilot balloon exploration of the up-

per air in the United States began

during the \Vorld War—by Weather

bureau and signal corps, U. S. A., and

continuous records of five years or

more are now available which are suf-

ficient to establish reliable averages

or “means” for the different stations

making observations. These averages

for the local station show the follow-

A DISPUTED FENCE LINE.





 





About twelve years ago they had this

section surveyed before I bought my

farm. Some fences have been moved





making jogs in the line. The man on

the north has moved on to me, or on

new survey, and the man on the south

forbids me moving mine on new sur-

vey or on him. What can I do? Is

there a law that, if a fence has been

built for fifteen years in peaceable pos-

session, that you cannot move it, or

you can forbid the other fellow from

moving his ?—A. S.



Whether title is acquired by fence

standing more than fifteen years de-

pends on whether the person in pos-

session has openly and continuously

claimed ownership to the fence during

the period. Possession up to a. fence

built merely for convenience and not

as a line does not ripen to title by any

period of possession. If adjoining own-

ers agree on a line, as a result of a.

survey, or without any survey, and

fence is built on that line, neither can

later repudiate it, though the fence

has not stood for the fifteen years. A

survey made otherwise than by agree-

ment of the parties to determine the

line is not binding if either can prove

the survey was wrong.——Rood.

SELF-FEEDER'FOR HOGS.





 





Some time ago you had an article

in the Michigan Farmer about feeding

swine with the self-feeder. Also, you

gave plans for making feeders out of

barrels, etc. I would be glad to have

you give me your plans and specifica-

tions, as I have lost the paper the

article was in.—L. G.





We took an ordinary oil barrel be—

cause it was the only thing we had,

knocked both head and. bottom out,

and drove the hoops down tight and

drove tacks on the sides of each hoop,

so that they would not come off. Then

we made a square plank base, six

inches wider than the diameter of the

barrel. On the outer edge of this base

we put edgewise a. two by six to pre-

vent the feed from getting off the

base. Then we put two two by four’s

the barrel, edgewise on this base, and



- nafied them securely. These two by

four's should be so placed that the

space in the bottom of the barrel

would be about equal.



The barrel is now placed in on the

two by four and fastened there secure-

ly by nailin board to the two by

four and to the side of the barrel. Of

course, this would work a little better

if the sides of the barrel were straight

up and down. You may have to-look

after this feeder once a. day to see

that the feed does not clog. A cover

should be made of the head of the

barrel to be placed on top of the bar-

rel so that the feed in the inside will

not get wet, then it will easily work

down. It is not claimed that this will

work quite its well as a. made-to-order

self-feeder, but it is so easily made

and so inexpensive that we find it

quite satisfactory.





 





.A CONTRACT OF OBLIGATION.





 





One year ago I bought a silo of a

firm in Jackson. I couldn’t pay cash

so they let me have it on time. I have

paid half and interest and they ex—

tended my time to September, but I

could pay up by July, but now they

write and say they never gave any

more time and will make me trouble

if I don’t pay all the amount now. I

can’t. What can I do ?—M. K.



If it can be shown that the debt is

not payable until July, no action could

be maintained on it before that time.

It is merely a question of fact. If the

contract is written it cannot be added

to by oral proof—Rood.





 





ELEMENT OF RISK IN FARMING.





 





Our farm is worked on halves by a.

certain party. There is a large piece

of land which was put into beans last

year and through lack of attention was

mostly weeds when harvested. After

the beans were pulled the land was

worked very little, and wheat sown

there.‘ On looking over the field now

we find that mostly June grass is com-

ing up and very little Wheat. We have

lost our share of seed wheat and fer-

tilizer. What can we do about it? Can

we make that party replant the field

in something else without any more

expense to us, or could we plow it up

and plant something ourselves. How

can we get back what we have lost,

and also not lose a crop of some kind

on the land this year? Another man

is working the land this year.~R.





There is a. certain element of risk

involved in growing crops, which man

has little or no control over. How-

ever, if the tenant was negligent in the

preparation of the soil, etc., to an ex—

treme degree, the landlord has a right

to make complaint.



It would appear that under condi-

tions described that some other crop

should be planted this spring. To do

this, I would advise that the landlord

come to some agreement with the for-

mer tenant, obtaining a release from

him of all claim against wheat crop.

If a. satisfactory agreement cannot be

made, I would sugegst that each mem-

ber select a representative and they

choose the third. The three members

to arbitrate the matter. This would

be much better and cheaper than going

to court.~F. T. Riddell, Research As-

sistant in Farm Management.

SPRAY i=on LEAF SPOT.





 





ELLOW and spotted leaves on

cherry trees often cause consider-





the tree poorly prepared to ripen its

fruit, and preventing the formation of

fruit buds for the next year.



Spraying will give a good control.

The first application must be made

just before the blossom opens, a sec-

ond as soon as the shucks fall oil the

small fruits, a third two weeks later,

and a fourth shortly after the fruit is

picked. '



Lime-sulphur, one gallon to fifty gal-

lons of water, may be used; or Bor-

deaux mixture, two pounds of blue-

stone, four pounds of hydrated lime

and fifty gallons of water. For sweet

cherries, dry-mixed lime-sulphur is pre-

ferred because it does not burn. It is

made of eight pounds of sulphur, four

pounds of hydrated lime, and half a

pound of commercial casein spreader

to fifty gallons of water. The mate-

rials are mixed together in the strain-

er and washed into the spray tank.



If affected cherry trees have not yet

been sprayed, it would be well to

wait until the fruit has been picked, so

as to avoid blemishing it. Spraying

in the summer will not cure any of

the affected leaves, but it will protect

the green ones and help make a. better

crop next year.





POTATO EXCHANGE TO MEET.





 





HE Michigan Potato Growers’ Ex—

change will hold its seventh an-

nual meeting August 19-20. Two di-

rectors are to be elected and the by-

laws must be amended. The retiring

directors are 0. S. Wood, of Barryton,

and S. E. Rogers, of East Jordan.

The meeting will also celebrate the

crop contract campaign success which,

it seems, will greatly increase the ben-

efits the members will derive from the

exchange.





 





TO ADVERTISE CHERRIES.





 





A RECENT meeting of the Michigan



Fruit Growers, Inc., and the Mich-

igan Canners’ Association resutled in

a plan to advertise cherries. It was

agreed that an assessment of one

eighth cent be placed on each pound

of cherries deliveredio Michigan can—

neries. The money collected will go

into a fund which will be used for ad-

vertising Michigan cherries. It is plan-

ned to raise about $25,000 for this

purpose.





 





A transportation authority says that

motor; trucks are carrying more freight

than all the railroads in Michigan com-

bined. Railroad freight traffic in Mich-

igan has been cut forty-six per 'cent,





due to the inroads the trucks have

made. . 3

than any four in the world today.





It is worthy companion to the revolu—

It is made of the same highquality alloy

It is as finely, and as efficiently, en-

It is built to the same closemmanufactur—

TWO NEW STATE PARKS.





 





TWO new state parks are being rap-

Upper Peninsula, this summer, and

Lower Peninsula farmers who tour the

district this season will not want to

miss either of them. One of the parks

is Old Fort Wilkins, Copper Harbor,

erly portion of the mainland of the

state. Here a United States military

post was opened up two years before

the Mexican War, primarily, it ap—

just made tofth‘e United States prelim~

inary to the Opening up of the region

to settlers. The _,soldl.ers were long

most attractive one, with Lake Supe~

the two, with tlmbered 'hills' and much

One travels through ' nearly thirty

miles of wilderness—mostly abandon—

there. The state now has acquired

possession of the site, saving the Unit—

[buildings are being put in repair; the

old parade ground cleared, the flag

of cedar logs "with sharpened ends is

being put in to replace the former

stockade which has largely disap~

open to all, free of charge. There is

a fine road all the way, it being the

terminus of state trunk-line No. 15.





The other park is the Bishop’s Hill

location near Marquette, recently ac-

quired by Marquette county for park

purposes and turned over to the state.

There is a wonderful view of Lake

Superior and the shore line, with the

forests and hills around about, from

this site, which is now made acces-

sible from trunk-line No. 15 by a new

road to the summit, where there is

plenty of room for all who come that

way. In both parks the usual park





equipment of stoves, wells, benches,

etc, has been installed. A represent-

ative of 'The Michigan Farmer has vis—

BABY’S SECOND SUMMER.





 





ICHIGAN babies who die before

they reach their first birthday

find their chief dangers in dis-

eases of the intestinal tract—”summer

complaint. Twenty per cent of all

baby deaths are thus explained, re-

ports the Michigan State Commission-

er of Health. Here are his recom<

mendations:





“Babies should be breast-fed if pos—

sible for the‘ first nine months. The

milk for bottle—fed babies should be

brought to the boiling point, even

though pasteurized, to make sure that

all bacteria. are killed, then rapidly

cooled and placed on ice until used.

The infant old enough to receive other

foods than milk may have fruit juices,

cereals, and strained cooked green

vegetables. All food for the young

child, including milk and fruits (ex-

cept orange juice), should be cooked.

Even the drinking water should be

boiled to avoid typhoid fever and oth-

er intestinal infections. .

“Let the child be out of doors as

much as possible, except in the hottest

part of the‘ day. He should be kept

clean; .a. daily bath is essential.” .

In your grandma’s days it was “the





 





' second summer” that was the great





bugaboo of mothers with young babies.





 





 





That was not because second sum-





_ ment.





mers were really harder on babies‘

than first summers, but because the

baby was more likely to be nursing at

the breast during the first summer

and it was in the second summer that

he was first subjected to the disease

bacteria from unclean milk. Now we

knew that if supplied with clean food

and clean clothing, and screened from

flies and mosquitoes, the baby will

weather the second summer as easily

as any.





 





DARKENING GRAY HAIRS.





 





Is there a compound that will darken

gray hair and would it be harmful and

how would it want to be used? Could

you give me any information of what

to use? My hair was naturally me-

dium brown—Mrs. B.





I think most women are better off

if they accept gray hair as adding to

their good looks and dignity and settle

down to it. But I know there are ex-

ceptional cases in which it is very de—

sirable, for special reasons, to keep

the gray out. It can be done without

injury to the hair or scalp but each

individual needs her own special treat-

It is an expensive matter, for

hair grows constantly and the newly

grown hair comes in gray and must‘be

treated. The best way is to go to a.

professional and learn just what suits

your needs and how to apply it.

interest for the girl.





Sitting quietly ’neath the shadows,

on a bench overlooking the terrace

lawns, she stared dreamily, unseeingly,





and took no note.





Why, indeed, should she feel inter-





ested in the atmosphere of romance

and adventure? Why should she even

‘care to admire the beautiful surround-

ings, or appreciate the calm and peace

of the evening? Was she not, on the

morrow, to be united in marriage to

a man whom she did not love? And

to a man by the name of Hogg, worst

of all! Hers not the blame that her

father, straightened in money matters,

had become financially embarrassed,

and decided, because Hogg was rich,

to auction her to him in the marriage

mart. Hers but to consent to her fath-

er’s wishes, to pay the price, and save

the family’s prestige. * '* i‘ * She

sighed.





Vagrant breezes fanned her face and

stirred stray tendrils of her hair. The

dew fell and star—specked her trans-

parent cloak with silver mist. From

beneath her gown her satin slippers

peeped, their gay buckles mysteriously

flashing in the semi-light. Nervously

she clasped and unclasped her slim,

white hands before her.





A shadow fell across her path, and

there came the sound of shoes upon

the gravel. Quickly glancing up, she

saw the form of a man standing be-

fcire her





“Good evening,” said the man pleas-

antly. “I hope I am not intruding.”





He was dressed in White flannels

and carried his str’aw hat in his hand.



The girl liked his engaging smile,

his white even teeth, and his charming

manners. But most of all, she wel-

comed the intrusion—it gave her relief

from her painful thoughts.



“What a wonderful evening,” said

the man.





“Indeed, it is lovely,” answered the

girl.



“On such a night as this,” continued

the man, “Leander swam the HelleS<

pont.”



“For his lady love?” smiled the girl.



Taking courage, the man dropped

down on the seat beside her.



“It is a wonderful night for romance

and adventure,” he commented.

ACROSS THE FIELDS

By Addie Boon





A cold, high wind was blowing

Over hill and lea,



Chasing sunshine and shadow

Across the fields to me.





Patches of clouds a-scurrying

After each other run.



All seem to be hurrying,

Trying to obscure the sun.





But look! close behind them.

Almost upon their heels,



Comes a flood of sunshine,.

Smiling across the fields.





Here I sit in the shadow,

So dense I could scarcely see,

Welcome the sunshine coming

Across the fields to me.





We have no hand in the timing

Of this shine and shadow race,



We are only sure that sometime

The sun will find our place.

unconventional manner as this?” he

asked.





“I believe it is,” she replied—“at





least, in books. But,” she added,

“such things, unfortunately, are not

for me.” ’





“Why, if I may ask?”



And almost without realizing what

she was doing, the girl found herself

telling the likable stranger all about

her troubles—epo-uring out the whole

miserable story. With slim, nervous

fingers clasped before her, large wist-

ful gray eyes up-turned to his gaze,

she told the man everything~about

the money matters, the marriage ar-

rangement, her sacrifice—all.



“It~it seems rather hard,” he said,

turning her eyes toward the shadows.

“Other girl's—3’



The man was gazing intently at her.

Now, as she ceased speaking, abruptly,

it seemed to him he almost knew what

she was thinking. And With her he

seemed to be seeing the vision of

youth chained to staid, gray marriage,

while previous days, golden moments,

flew by 011 the wings of time, taking

with them all chances for happiness

and leaving only the misery of empti~

ness and regret.



The girl’s lips quivered. Her long,

slim fingers clasped and unclasped

nervously. When next she turned to





He is coming from San Francisco to

be here tomorrow in time for the wed-

ding. Then I suppose I shall meet

him. And—” with a touch of spirit—-

“I just know hell be bald—~and fat.

The beast!”



Again the man moved uneasily.

Grimly, he smiled.



“Just to think,” the girl continued,

“to be young like me, liking good

times, and—and~love—and then to be

married to a man for his money—

someone I’ve never seen.” The long,

slim fingers clenched tightly into

fists ‘



The man’s face had grown grave.

“I—I think I understand,” he murmur-

ed quietly. “It isn’t right, somehow,

is it?”



The girl’s eyes softened in apprecia-

tion. “Oh, if he were to be a man

like you,” she breathed.



The man leaned closer to her. His

strong, bronzed hands found and im-

prisoned her slim, white ones. He

moistened his lips to speak.



“And—you think you would like

me?”



Their eyes met. Under his search-

ing gaze, the girl’s fell.



“1—1 am sure—” she said in an al-

most inaudible tone.



For a moment they were wrapped in

silence, while the moon in the sky

She nodded her head stray wisps

“Yes. Remains but this one short

Suddenly the man grew tense





He

drew her hands to his lips. .





~ “listen!" he said almost fiercely. “It '





isn’t right! Ybu with your youth, your

beauty! You should not be sacrificed.

A money marriage is not for you. You

have the right to happiness—to love,

to romance!” ' .1



“Don’t!” she pleaded, “Please“



He crushed her to him. , .



“I must respect my father’s "wishes,"

she said.



“Even though,” he replied,

have till tomorrow to do‘ as you

choose. Tonight—this one short hour

is yours! , Why not taste joy for once,

before it passes? You flke me, you

said. Let me be your Prince Charm-

ing—Just for tonight. When sorrow

comes—if, it‘does in after times—you

might have one golden moment to re-

The girl shivered in his arms.

And





when she raised her face to his, tears ’





trembled on her long eye-laShes. But

her eyes were glorious and filled with

a wonderful light.



“You are right,” she whispered.

“Youth will pass all too soon. Just

for an hour'——my Prince!”



Closer she nestled to him. Tremb-

ling moist lips met his—pressed—

cIung—and the night became one soft-

ly beating heart!



When, finally, he released her, she

turned her pale, white face toward the

shadbws, and sighed.



“I am your Cinderella, Prince,” she

said quietly. “The hour strikes, and

I must go.”



With head bent the man listened to

the bells in the tower across the town.

When their soft-toned chime had ceas-

ed, he spoke: ,



“And you will remember?”



“Always,” she replied.



Both arose.



Gently, he kissed her slim, white

hands in last adieu.



“Goodbye, Cinderella.

dreams,” he said.





Checking a sob, she gathered her

cloak about her and flew away into the

witching night of which she was a

part.



Still looking after her vanished fig-

ure, the man smiled gently.



“Poor little kid,” he murmured. “Per-

ter, as is much of the book of



. Acts. Let no one, however, turn

away in disgust, for missions contain

more pure adventure than any other

modern form of activity. Paul and

his traveling companions found it so.

Their experiences were punctuated

With sundry fiery ordeals that were

not soon forgotten.





At Iconium they had some success,.





but a. mob drove them away at last.

The modern name of the city is Kon-

iGh. When they learned that a mob

was forming, they left. That was not

cowardice, but good sense. Nothing

more could be done at that time. In

H Corinthians Paul says, “To the one

we are the savor of death unto death,





. and to the other the savor of life





It proved so in Iconium.

The gospel was to

them the savor

of death. They

hated it and drove

it, from their

city. Missionary

retreats take

place sometimes.

There is nothing

else to do. But

a f t e r w a r d the

Work goes forward more strongly than

ever. This was true of Madagascar in

1835, when a heathen revival took

place. Later, missions prospered

there. The same was. true of the

Boxer Rebellion in China, twenty odd

years ago. Christian work went for-

ward in strides, after the fury had

died down. HoweVer, it was at the

cost of many missionary lives.





unto life.”





 





They had a lively time in Lystra. A

cripple was healed. Note the expres-

sion that Paul fastened his eyes on

the cripple, at the time of his cure.

The expression occurs several times

in the New Testament, when describ-

ing how one person influenced anoth—

er. In Acts 13.9, “Then Paul, filled

with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on

him and said;” in Acts 3:4, “And Pet~

er, fastening his eyes on him with

John,'said, etc.” See also Acts 23:1.

The most impressive of these scenes,

however, to my mind, is that in Luke

22:61, when Peter had been swearing

and denying his Lord—“while he yet

spake, the cock crew. And the Lord

turned and looked upon. Peter. And

Peter remembered * * *”





HERE is more to such expressions

than they convey on the face of

They mean, that these men

looked at the facts of life squarely,

unshrinkingly. Paul did not glance at

the cripple in Lystra, then look away

and declare that he was suffering from

mental delusion. He only thought he

was a cripple. No, he looked at him

face to face, fastened his eye on him,

drinking in the entire meaning of it,

and at the same time, offered the poor

fellow some'hope. If he had not faced

the facts as they were, he could not

have handed over to him this assist-

ance. It is always best to face the

realities of life as they are, and not

blink them. Only so can we get any-

where. Moreover, that is the very

power and glory of Christianity. Chris-

tianity faces the facts of life, death,

sin, and their attendant tragedy, and

says, “Look up! You can be healed.

You can enter on a new life.”





The worship of idols was common

throughout that country. Much of the

old Greek mythology was believed in.

When the miracle took place, the

priests .of Jupiter were so excited that

they decided that the gods must have

come back to earth, whereupon they

proceeded to prepare sacrifices. I

imagine that the scene was much

more exciting than Luke’s story indi-

cates. “The crowd- was there, greatly

wrought» up overrthe presence of mir~ .

down. in Worship of the two missienv,

‘aries. The priests had come, leading

the sacrificial, oxen, decorated with

flowers. Everything was ready for a

grand religious festival, when Paul and

Barnabas vigorously interfered, saying

that they were but men, and calling

on the people to worship God.





AUL said that the fact of the sea-



sons with their rain and sun were

good and sufficient evidence of God,

even though these people know of no

other way of learning about Him. No

man can look at a fruitful orchard or

a yellowing wheat field without think-

ing, if he is a man of any soul, of the

good Creator behind it all.



But jealohsy once more got in its

work, and these two bringers of good

were mobbed. This time they did not

escape. They were stoned, that is,

Paul was, and left for dead. No won-

der he wrote in II Corinthians of his

experiences: “Thrice was I beaten

with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I

suffered shipwreck, a night and a day

have I been in the deep. In journey-

ings often, in perils of waters, in per-

ils of robbers, in perils by mine own

countrymen, in perils by the heathen,_

in perils in the city, in perils in the

Wilderness, in perils in the sea, in per-

ils among false brethren.” It is a

glorious record.



The late Dr. J. H. Jowett had a ser-

mon, “The Disciples' Sacrifice," in

which he refers to what happened in

Lystra. You will recollect that Paul

later went back to Lystra. Says Jow-

ett, “Having stoned Paul (at Lystra)

they drew him out of the city suppos—

ing he had been dead. And Paul re-

turned again to Lystra! Back to the

stones! Is not the apostle the com-

plement of his Master? Is he not do-

ing in Lystra what his Master had

of prisoners.



Take another instance. James Chal-

mers was a. missionary in New Guin-

ea. He worked among'primitive sav-

ages. He declined to stay in seaports

or trading cities, where the natives

had had more or less association with

white men. He wanted the raw prod-

uct, and he found it. He eventually

was killed by a group 0f savages. But

for years he seemed to bear a charm-

ed life. The club was more than once

raised to slay him, but in some way

he escaped. He ate freely with bands

of prisoners.





READ the life of John G. Paton, for



half a century a worker in the

New Hebrides. The record of his 1a-

bors is almost the equal of anything

in the Book of Acts. What he did

there could only be accomplished by

a man who worked with God, hand in

hand. Time and again bands of war-

riors came up to the mission camp,

intent on pillage. The blacks. finally

worked out what they thought a most

neat plan of murder. A tropic fever

killed off some each year, and one day

an old chief was seized with it. The

natives Were afraid of the government

gun boat which visited the islands

once 'in every one or two years. So

this little scheme was worked out to

meet the facts in the case, The dying

chief sent for Mr. Paton, and asked

him to come close to his side, as he

had a confession to make. As Mr.

Paton did so, the man suddenly drew

a long sharp knife.” Thus he would

kill the misisonary, would himself die

in a few days, and when the govern-

ment boat came, no one would know

who did it. Mr. Paton saw his predic-

ament. He dared not move. He could

only shut his eyes and pray. In a few

minutes the cannibal whispered to

him, “Go, missi, go!”

A Promise Fulfilled





Last year, 709,200 carloads of products of the

soil were hauled by New York Central Lines

into the world’s richest market. These cars

would make up a train 5,300 miles long.





During 1924, also, 25,040 new freight cars

were put into service by New York Central

Lines—involving an expenditure of millions of

dollars for better service.





The New York Central program for taking

care of the greater traffic demands of the com-

ing years, inaugurated immediately after the

end of Federal control, is steadily going on.

in their certificates.





On June 20th, or ten days before the time was up,

we mailed out checks to our thousands of investors,

paying them at the rate of 6 per cent per annum.





They received 6 per cent on their money because

their savings earned that rate-





That is one of the advantages of placing your ndbney

in a Mutual or Co-operative Institution like ours,

where, for more than 35 years the annual profit on

Cool Salads for Warm Days





Are Health Errentia/J





C RISP, cool salads for warm days



are just what the family need. The

wise housewife knows that to feed her

family healthful food, she must not

fail to introduce plenty of vegetables

into the bill—of—fare in this manner.

Here are some healthful and refresh-

ing salads from the Wisconsin depart-

ment of home economics. .



Tomato cups are attractive and ap-

petizing. After the tomato has-been

peeled, it may be scooped out and

stuffed with the pulp which has been

rubbed through a sieve and mixed with

diced celery. A slice of cucumber

may be used as a base, and the salad

may be served with' French dressing.

~A tomato salad may be made by

serving on beds of lettuce tomatoes

cut in sandwich style, with cottage

cheese as filling; or each tomato may

be left whole, peeled, slit in three

places on top, and stuffed with cottage

cheese. French dressing is good with

tomato salads.



Crisp lettuce, slices of Cucumber,

and tomatd make an attractive com-

bination of red, White, and green when

served together. The tomato and cu-

cumber may be sliced and served ov—

er—lapping each other on lettuce.

French dréSsing should be used.



Other salads are made of such com-

binations as diced celery, pineapple,

and grapes, or chopped celery, cream

cheese, and nuts formed into balls.



String beans are attractive when

used as the foliage for. a Lazy Daisy

salad. The flower is made by cutting

the white portion of a hard-boiled egg

to resemble the petals of a daisy and

by using the yolk for the center. Ar-

range the fiower on a leaf or lettuce,

and serve with mayonnaise dressing.



As a rule, French dressing is used





On all green-leafed vegetables. Raw

or coarse vegetable combinations are

generally served with French, boiled,

or sour Eream dressing.





 





STUDIES CONSUMERS’ MEAT-BUY-

ING HABITS.





 





HOUSE-TO-HOUSE survey is be-



ing made by the United States

Department of Agriculture in sixteen

cities to determine the meat-buying

habits of consumers, and it indicates

that beef is preferred by three out of

five families, pork being given second

choice. Fish is the usual food when

meat is not served. Use of foods other

than meat by native white American

families is prompted more often for

variety in the diet than for any other

reason. . .



_The survey brought out that most

housewives were able to mention only

two or three steaks which they could

recognize if out, and that the average

number of roasts with which they are

familiar was less than ‘two. ‘



The interviewers making the survey

encounter many strange habits in meat

eating.~A Negro minister in Louisiana,

for example, declared that his family

of two men and two women eat some

fifty pounds of meat 3. week at a cost

of $21.70.



“We have meat every day at every

meal,” he said. “Sometimes we have

two difierent kinds of meat at a. meal.

For breakfast we use salt meat, fried

brains, liver, or ham. We have a roast

four times a week which weighs about

four pounds. Roasts usually last two

meals except on Sunday, when we usu-

ally have company and then consume

the whole roast at one meal. ~We have

ONE-MOTHER’S IDEA OF DISCI-

. PLINE.





 





HlLDREN are one of the beautiful



parts that make this world and

there is no greater. blessing to parents

than to have healthy, obedient chil-

dren. I, myself, am a young mother

with former experience in this line,

and have had the best of discipline,

not by compulsory methods, but in an

obliging manner.



I do not believe in the old-fashioned

way of spanking children. This meth-

od often develops stubbornness and a

mother soon loses control over her

children. If a child has done wrong

and knows of it, it should be punished,

either by depriving it of some of its

playtime, or given light work that he

method will develop well-mannered

children with good discipline and with

respect for their parents and elders.—

I COTTAGE CHEESE.





 





Please tell me how to make cottage

cheese.—~Mrs. J R D.





There are numerous ways of making





cottage cheese, and one must choose -





the one that most suits their taste.



If you are using whole milk, add

equal parts of boiling water to the

soured milk. Let this stand until cool.

Then drain well and add salt, sugar,

and sweet cream according to taste.



If you are using watered milk, the

cooking should be done slowly on the

back of the cook stove until the curd

reaches the firm state. Cut the curd





with a knife to break it up that the _





heat may penetrate it readily.

Another good way to make cottage

cheese is to allow the whole milk to





reach a tempertaure about seventy de- _





grees. Then_add a quarter of a junket

tablet to two quarts of milk. The

junket tablet should first be dissolved

in warm water. Let this stand for ten

or twelve hours and then drain the

curd through cheesecloth for two

hours or more. The cheese is then

ready to be seasoned according to

taste.

Doings In Woodland





.571sz A/zoy! for the W cad/and W andererr





FTER the three Woodland Ad-

A venturers, Bruin, Rolly Rabbit,



and Brownie had met Peter

Porky in his coat of needle armor,

they made new friends very cautiously

in this strange land. What a sore

place every one of those needles made

in their flesh, just as Peter Porky had

intended they would. That was his

penalty for strangers approaching too

near to him.



It was the middle of the afternoon

of the next day before the adventurers

- saw anything of great interest to them.

This time it was Rolly Rabbit whose

eyes popped wide as he came around





 





\\\\\,lM~

\\\\\\\\\\= \

Bruin Was Captain and Off They

Sailed.





   





‘\\\\





a. bend in the path he and his com-

panions were following. Rolly had felt

for some time that this path would

lead them to some very interesting

place, and now here they were.



“Hip Hurray! Hurry up!” shouted

Kelly to Bruin and Brownie who were

some distance behind. But the next

minute he put his fingers to his lips,

signaling them to be quiet. All along

the path, Rolly had noticed strange

tracks in the sand. Perhaps some of

these strange people were spying on





him. He dared not trust them as

readily since their experience with

Peter Porky.



“Ship Ahoy!” said Brownie under his

breath, as soon as he reached Rolly

Rabbit. “Can’t I have a ride?”



For it was none other than a little

boat with a white sail resting in the

tiny river that has so surprised Rolly

as he reached the bend in the path,

and Brownie and Bruin were just as

surprised when they saw it, too.



This river was bound in on either

side by high rocky cliffs, foreboding

that it led to a new and different

country. ‘ ‘



“Look at the tracks in the sand!”

said Bruin. “Queer folks, live here.”



“Yes,” said Rolly, “I have noticed.

The tracks look like they had a very

long big toe.”



“So it does,” said Bruin as he ex-

amined them more carefully. “I never

saw anything like them before.”



Then each one peered among the

bushes near by, but saw no one. These

three Adventurers just couldn’t refuse

to take a ride in this little boat with

a'white sail. It would be a real ad-

venture, indeed.



Not one of the three Woodland Ad-

venturers had ever sailed a boat be-

fore, but they were not afraid of get-

ting lost at sea in thistiny river. So,

after much discussion and drawing of

cuts to see who would get the long

one and the short one, it was decided

that Bruin should be Captain, Rolly

Rabbit first Mate, and Brownie sec-

ond Mate. -



“A-board! Captain Bruin,” shouted

Rolly and Brownie as they heaved the

boat from shore and hopped in beside

their newly-made captain.



And now they were off, and we shall

hear next week" of how they got their

supper. . ‘

Dear Uncle Frank:



I want to thank you very much for

the dandy prize I received. I always

‘ wanted‘a real nice dictionary and now

I have won one. I surely do feel

proud over my prize. I took it to

school and showed it 'to the teacher

and kids and they all thought it was

9. jim dandy.



I hadn’t the least idea I would be so

lucky. So that surely goes to show

one must always try again. You’re

bound to win some time.



Well, I must thank you again and

close for this time. \Vith love from

your nephew, George Lindgren, Mears,





I am glad you like the dictionary. I

think it is a handy prize. It surely

does pay to keep on trying.





 





 





 





 





Dear Uncle Frank:

‘ Jonquil has the making of a writer.

At least I think so. If her story part

wouldn’t be very good, she might still

be able to win fame by her descrip-

tions of nature and the world around

her. I think that I understand how

she felt in her experience with nature.

“Wildflower’s” hobby is for flowers;

mine is for animals, especially those

who have been injured. Of course, _I

do not wish them to suffer, but it

makes me love them better. Any crea-

ture that is hurt I always want to try

and make well again. I always" like

my lame pets better than I do the oth—

ers, and I expect that they get better

treatment. ’ ,



Don’t you like .to watch the sky

when a storm is coming up? I know

storms do a lot of damage and I don’t,

like them, but the sky is so awe in-

spiring just before a storm that it

holds one—Your long silent niece,

“Dee.”



I, too, thought Jonquil’s letter good.

I am glad that you like animals, espe-

cially those handicapped by injury.

For some reason dangerous things are

awe inspiring. A big destructive fire

is one of the most attractive sights.





 





Dear M. C’s and Uncle Frank:



You will find a quarter which I am

sending for the Merry Circle Fund.

Won’t those dear children be surprised

when they see the lovely radio? How

much money have we in the fund

already? My mother is proud of me

because I belong in the Merry Circle

Club. I told her it is something to be

proud of, to have an uncle and so

many cousins in this country. You

see, I was not born in this country. I

was born in Holland or Netherlands.

I have no aunts, uncles, grandmothers,

cousins, or any relations in this coun-

try. Therefore, I am quite proud to

have an uncle and cousins in this coun-

try. I was two years old when I came

across the Atlantic ocean—Dean

Copperfield about the "most of any book

Fry about sbme of those stories that

are printed in some magazines.



Will close and get ready for dinner.

Uncle Frank, I think you might come

out and treat me to a nice big dish of

ice cream. I guess I can keep my

name secret as well as you can‘yours,

so will sign just—an M. C. Niece.





I would. like to treat you to ice

cream, but how can I when you don’t

give I'your name and address? Yes,

my best girl knows what I look like,

and so does my best boys. I did have

my picture in the paper once and it

did not have an effect on my car-

respondence as I could see.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



As so many M. C.’s have written to

you about their secret ambition, I

thought I would write, too. Maybe I

will never realize my burning ambi-

tion. but nevertheless I have one. It

is just this. I want to teach school

and go to college. Not much, is it?

But: still, it means quite a lot to me.

I suppose you are wondering why I

can’t realize my ambition. Health. is

the answer. Not good health by any

means, but rather the lack of it. I

am not going to school now, but I

went nearly all winter.



And so many girls and boys are ex-

pressing their opinion of boys and

men who smoke, I guess I will have

to say something, too. I don’t like to

see young boys smoke, but I really

don’t think they are hurting anyone

but themselves. I have two brothers

and neither smoke, but I am sure if

they did I would not think any less

of them.—Lonesome Lou.





I agree that the smoker hurts him-

self more than anyone else, but it is

hard to convince him that tobacco is

hurting him. I sincerely hope your\

health will improve so that you can

work out your ambition. Feel assured

that nature heals if given a chance.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I have started to barrow, ’cause my

brothers had to get back to school,

Their teacher was sick for two weeks.

I wear men’s overalls and at a dis-

tance some folks mistake me for my

dad. I’ve been asked whose “boy” I

was, and it makes me feel like a.

“wooden nickle.” Ha! Ha!



I don’t think girls are smarter than

boys because girls don’t invent many

things, unless a new cake or dress.

In school I think the reason the girls

get along so well is because they are

more used to being in the house and

the boys, used. to being out of doors,

let their minds drift away, and start

looking out the window. .



I don’t think girls have ‘to work the

hardest. Maybe I have quite a bit to

do. I have all the housework to do

and have to help dad out doors. The

reason you hear so many girls say,

“Oh, dear, my head aches,” is just

because they don’t get out of doors

enough. . _



Now, girls, write all the saucy let-

ters you want to. I’m used to being

What Is the Matter wIth Home? ‘

I do not believe that there is any-

thing the matter with home. It is the

jazz age in which we are living that

is accountable for the unrest in the

young. The daily papers fill their

front pages with murders, elopments,’





.child runaways, and doings in Holly-





wood, for the young eyes to see and

the'young mind to ponder over. They

soon begin to think “everybody’s doin’

it," and long for some unusual excite-

Those who are too

weak to resist temptation, and too sel-

fish to think of the sorrow they leave

behind, start out to try life, and see

the world.



in their restless and jazz-saturated

mind, they think there is something

wrong at home; dad is not fair; mother

too strict, or brothers and sisters have

But when they get

away, I imagine they soon begin to

think of Home, Sweet Home, and when

dad sends on the dough, come crawl-

ing back for the “fatted calf.”



The city lures many of the young

from the farms and small towns. Some

want work with the tempting high

wages, others want a good time; mov-

ies, dances, joy-rides, etc.



But I think if the most of us were

more like Pollyanna in the “glad book”

we could find enjoyment in our own

homes, and might be pals to our par-

ents and friends.



The best remedy for restlessness is

work or good wholesome play. Every

child should have something that he

is interested in, to occupy his or her

mind, and tnus keep the seeds of dis-

from taking root.——Donna

Scribner, Bancroft, Mich.





 





What I Do to Help at Home.

My idea is that helping your parents

while you are at home during the sum-

mer vacation is one of the best things

anyone can do.

and respect your family, but the work





makes a person strong and healthy so'





that you feel 'like digging into your

studies the next fall, not only knee-

deep, but about up to your neck.



During the summer I spend my time

in shares to help everyone.



I help my mother with the house-

work, cooking, mending, washing, and

numerous other things, saving many

a weary step. When she is tired I

comb and brush her hair, which pleas-

es her greatly.



Another portion of my time I spend

in helping my father in the field with

the haying, reaping of the golden

grain, and leading the horse, in culti—

vating potatoes, so he will not step on

the plants. The results of these crops

are either fed to the cattle or sold in

the market, which bring in the money

for clothes and food for all.





Of other work to help: I aid in the

milking morning and evening, assist

in taking care of my little brothers

and sisters, pick berries and can them

ready for use during the cold, stormy

winter days. Other times I hoe in the

garden which supplies the family with

vegetables—~some win prizes at the

fair.



What time I have to spare in help—

ing with this work I spend in recrea-

tion, such as reading, writing, practic—

ing music lessons, or doing fancy

work, all of which I love dearly.



Yet, there is still another side of

the question. If we did not work for

others, we would not enjoy the beau-

tiful things which our heavenly father

gives us, like the pretty skies, the

fragrant flowers, the wonderful songs

of the birds—Lillian Luepnitz, Allen-

ville, Mich.





 





What Is the Matter with the Home?



“What is the matter with the

Home?” A home depends on how one

makes a home. The father and moth-





You not only please_

from John, nearly sixteen, to the three-

months-old baby. How are just two

going to make a home to suit all?



In my home, and numerous other

homes, the matter with home is not

helping one another enough.



Many boys and girls run away from

home because they are not- allowed to

go to every picture show or party

there is. Boys and girls should go to

some such things, but so many of the

children do not think of when father

and mother are to get their turn.



Boys as well as-girls have some

work to do. They think that they

should get paid for it. , I agree with

this because, if children are paid for

what they do, they get interested and

do much more to make the home an

interesting place, as well as comfort—

able. It awakens the feeling of help-

ing one another, and makes a pleasant

way of making the home the best

place in the world for both parents

and children.



So, boys and girls, just cooperate

with your parents and see how they

will begin tfihnake the home pleas-

anter for you.



If the parents would show interest

in what the children do, I think they,

too, will find “What is the Matter

with the Home.”~—Ruth Halsey, Olivet,

Michigan. '





PET PHOTO CONTEST.





 





T’S quite a time since we have had



a photo contest, especially one of

boys’ and girls’ pets. The last time

we had one of these we got some very

interesting pictures. I hope that this

contest will also bring in some good

ones.



The usual ten prizes will be given.

The first two will be fountain pens;

the next three, dictionaries, and the

next five, pocket knives.



Send your pet photos to Uncle

Frank, Michigan Farmer, Detroit,

Michigan, before July 24, for the con-

test closes then.





RIDDLE ANSWERS.





 





T must be hard to answer riddles

you don’t know anything about. I

know in my day the one who gave the





riddle most always had to give the .





answers also. The way the contest

papers look, I believe the same thing

will happen now. So far only a few

have given all answers correct.

"How to Make Money

Feeding Linseed Oil Meal”

pa,





Cttér





Linseed Meal has a way of making

nearly all farm’grown feeds pay bet’ .

ter—even pasturage—by providing

an excess of protein and a different

kind of protein. Even the best animals

need a. large part of the feed they eat

to maintain their own bodies. The

real profits come only from the

amount of feed the animals use in

addition to their maintenance needs.

Therein is where Linseed Meal pay;

from $10 to $40 a ton profit, or better,

by supplying the excess.





When pasturagc becomes scanty in

midsummer, Linseed Meal becomes a.

highlyimportant element of the grain

ration for all farm animals—but espe’

cially for dairy coWs. It will prevent

the cows running down in flesh and

the milk yield from falling off——

something which cannot be rectified

even by’liberal barn feeding in the fall.

DAIRY SITUATION.





HE dairy situation is interesting.



The increase in cold storage hold-

ings of butter was fully as great as

iastJune, but owing to the low mark

reached in May, holdings are still less

than a year ago.





Butter production during May was

the same as last year, but was slight-

ly lighter in June. Receipts at four

markets since June 1 show a decrease

of three per cent from last year.





Improvement is’noted in the foreign

dairy situation. The total imports of

butter into Germany during May, as

reported by the American agricultural

commissioner in Berlin, was 19,695,976

pounds? Part of this increase was

due, however, to the strike of Danish

dock workers. ‘





Germany is rapidly increasing her

dairy herds. In 1924 there were 8,-

796,032 cows reported in Germany,

which was eightycight per cent of the

number within the present German ter-

ritory in 1913. In 1913 there were 173

cows per thousand of population; in

1923, 133, and in 1924, 140 cows‘per

thousand of population.





The_butter makers of Denmark are

fully sustaining their reputation for

producing high qtiality butter. Of the

308,000,000 pounds of Danish butter

produced in 1924, 93.3 per cent quali-

fied as being first class. Of the total

amount produced 270,600,000 pounds

were exported. The test for water con-

tent showed that practically all the

butter came under the limit of sixteen

per cent fixed by law for export butter.





TUBERCU LIN WORK PROGRESSES.





ATISFACTORY progress is being



made in tuberculosis eradication

Bureau of Animal Industry in cooper-

WHEAT





After a decline of nearly 30 cents in

a month, wheat prices turned upward

in the past week. World wheat crop

news is less enthusiastically favorable,

the critical period for spring wheat is

at hand, Liverpool prices have gained

on Chicago, export buying shows oc—

casional activity, hedging pressure re

mains light, and speculative energy is

more partial to the bullish side. Of

course, the turn may prove to be tem-

porary. The government’s report as

of July 1 showed slightly larger yields

of most crops than expected. Winter

wheat was estimated at 404,000,000

bushels and spring wheat at 276,000,-

000, or a total of 680,000,000 bushels.

The forecast last month was 661,000,-

000 bushels and the 1924 yield was

873,000,000 bushels. Official estimates

of yields in six countries in Europe,

three in North Africa and Broomhall’s

esti ate for France show about 853,—

000, 0 bushels, against 376,000,000

bushels harvested last year, and 884,-

000,000 bushels in 1923. Russia has

sold a few cargoes for August and Sep-

tember shipment. Weather conditions

have been less favorable in the last

week in the United Kingdom, France,

South Russia, Rumania and Hungary.





The small movement of rye from the

interior for over a month and recent

export sales have resulted in a de-

crease of near] one-third in the vis-

ible supply in t ree weeks. The indi-

cations are that stocks of old rye will

be well cleaned up, both in this coun-

try and abroad before much new rye is





available.

' CORN .





Corn prices have strengthened de-

cidedly. Primary receipts have been

extremely light during the last ten





 





I





days. Buyers were' more willing to

take hold whenuChicago priCes drop-

ply has decreased over 5,000,000 bush-

els in three weeks and. is down to 13,.

000,000 bushels. Decreases ' at the

same rate for a. few weeks longer

would make stocks look relatively

small. High prices for hogs andvcat-

tle are stimulating the feeding demand





for corn.

OATS





Both domestic and export demand

for cats increased on the low level of

prices reached a week ago, which was





10 to 12 cents under the early June.





high point. On the other hand, the.

movement from the interior dried up.

The result was a fair reduction in com-

mercial stocks. The new crop has

improved materially in the last three

week-s. The July 1' forecast was 1,292,-

000,000 bushels against 1,295,000,000

bushels on June 1, a smaller decrease

than expected.





SEEDS





Clover seed prices declined slightly

again last week. Widespread rains

have been followed by-warm weather

which has improved the prospect for

the new crop. Trade during the week





was light.

FEEDS





Feed markets were dull last week,

with prices generally working lower.

Bran and middlings lost as much as

$2 per ton. Trade is slow with de-

mand very light, partly as a result of

improvement in pastures. Recent ad-

vances in the wheat market may

strengthen feeds.





POULTRY AND EGGS





The market on strictly fresh eggs

scored a further advance last week.

Hot weather has injured quality, re-

sulting in a short supply of fine stock.

Receipts continue liberal'for this sea-

son but apparently include a good

share of short held eggs. Eggs stored

early in the season show a profit at

present levels and some stock is being

withdrawn to supply the demand for

fancy eggs. Reports from the country

indicate a more rapid falling off in

collections, and, with current demand

holding up, it is probable that prices

will continue firm.

_ BUTTER ~ - 1.



The. butter market has more than

recovered its" losses of a. week ago.

Receipts were about the same as in

the preceding week and production is

expected to continue throughout July

at close to the present level. .Hot





'weather last week affected the milk





flow and increased the demand for

milk in the ice cream trade so that

butter production may show a. temper-

ary decline. A large share of the cur-

rent make is of fine quality although

heat defects are appearing. Prices

during July will be largely dependent

upon the buying for storage. Stocks

are smaller than a year ago, dealers

consider the iong time outlook favor-

able, and the movement of butter into

storage dur g the rest of the month

probably w ll be active. It is likely

that prices can be maintained around

the prevailing level.



Prices on 92-score creamery were:

Chicago 42c; New York 420. In De-

troit fresh creamery in tubs sells for

39@42c per pound.





POTATOES





The potato markets were strong last

week and prices were marked consid-

erably higher. Shipments of new pc-

tatoes were a fourth less than in the

corresponding week a year ago and

old stock is being cleaned up rapidly.

A relatively light crop in intermediate

potato states is certain so that com-

paratively high prices will probably

rule during the next month. The

movement from the Kaw Valley of

Kansas, where the crop is estimated





at only half as large as a year ago, is





active. Potatoes are beginning to be

shipped from Missouri, Colorado, Utah,

Idaho and Washington. .

Based on the July 1 condition, the

total crop is estimated by the United

States Department of Agriculture at

350,000,000 bushels, compared with

422,000,000 bushels harvested in 1924,

and a five-year average of 418,000,000





bushels.

,BEANS





The official report on the Michigan

bean crop as of July 1, was as follows:



"An increase of 12 per cent over

last year in the acreage planted is in-

dicated by the reports from corres-

pondents. A greater increase would

undoubtedly have resulted if drought

had not prevented some planting and

Asparagus was a quick seller. ‘ The

larger supply of beans and peas sent

prices lower. Radishes, on the other

hand, were more in demand. Celery,

FIELD caoe PRODUCTION cesrs.





 





THE bureau of agricultural econom-

ics is yearly ettending its inves—



tigations into the cost of produc-

ing field crops. Reports from 7,153

farmers distributed throughout the

United States indicate that the aver-

age cost of producing the 1924 corn

crop was eighty-two cents per bushel;

the average cost of producing wheat

on 4,616 farms was $1.22 per bushel,

and the average cost of producing oats

on 5,509 farms was fifty cents per

bushel.



These figures were obtained by mail-

ing a cost of.production questionaire

to crop and live stock reporters locat-

ed in all the states. The cost figures

include charges for labor of the farmer

and his family, and a charge for the

use of land on a cash rental basis, so

that if‘the cost just equals the price

the farmer is paid for-his time and

investment. ~



A comparison of production costs

for 1922, 1923 and 1924 shows little

difference in average cost of produc-

ing an acre of corn for the three years.

The average cost of producing wheat

on all farms reporting varied from

$19.68 in 1922 to $21.88 in 1924. The

value of the wheat on these farms was

$1.11 per bushel in 1922; ninety-nine

cents in 1923, and $1.43 in 1924. The

1924 wheat crop was the first one for

three years where the reported value

per acre was greater than the average

cost per acre. * ~





 





GUERNSEY BREEDERS PICNIC.





' I ‘HE ninth annual picnic of the Ber-

rien County Guernsey Association

was held at the home of Mr. and





Mrs. J. C. Hollenbeck, four miles





southwest of Berrien Springs, Michi-.





gan, June 27, 1925.



By the noon hour, fully 150 breeders

and their friends from Berrien and ad-

joining counties gathered and‘ enjoyed

a bountiful community dinner.



The-afternoon program was opened

by an instructive dairy cow judging

demonstration by the Michigan Guern~

sey field man, W. D. Burrington, of

East Lansing, Michigan, using some

of the cows of Mr. Hollenbeck’s splen-

did herd of registered Guernseys for

examples.



Mr. Karl B. Musser, of Peterboro, N.

H., secretary of the American Guern—

sey Cattle Club, .explained the aims

and workings of the National Associa-

tion, bringing out many points of in-

terest to local breeders, predicting a

bright future for the Guernsey breed-

ers, and recommending the use of cow

testing association work to show the

profit made by individual cows. Coun-

ty Agricultural Agent, Mr. Simanton,

discussed cow testing association work

in the county.———Earl Hemingway, Sec.

Cows‘ do Not Come in Heat—Have

one cow that calved about one year

ago, two that calved in January, and

two heifers seventeen months old that

do not come in heat. Is there any

remedy you wouldpres-cribe? E. S.,

New Lathrop, Mich.——Yohimbine hy-

drochloride is 'the best remedy (but

too expensive for cattle practice);

however, you might try giving each

cow sixty Mom of fluid extract of nux

vomica at a dose in either soft feed

or in drinking water two or three

times a day. It is perhaps needless

for me to say, your cows, should be

well fed. In treating such cases you

might obtain results from flushing

with warm water twice a day. Kindly

understand that we do not always ob-

tain satisfactory results from remedies

given to such animals. In the warm

weather your cows are more likely to

come in heat than during the cold

winter weather.



Udder Congestion—Every few days

or as often as once in two weeks, one

of my cows gives thick milk from only

one quarter of bag. She is now out

in pasture. W. 11., Lake, Mich—Per-

haps she bruises her udder, or the

quarter may be slightly infected. Ap-

ply one part tincture of iodine, four

parts camphorated oil to congested

portion of bag twice a day, and give

her a teaspoonful of nitrate of potash

in feed or in drinking water twice

daily.



Sore Feet—Our nine-year-old cow

has sore feet; she came fresh six

weeks ago; this same cow had milk

fever last year. R. W. F., New Bos-

ton, Mich.——Wet. feet with one part

coal—tar disinfectant, ten parts water,





twice daily. Her feet should be kept





dry and clean.
