dustry amounts to $85,000,000 annually,

or a little over five per cent of that of the en-

tire 48 states; Michigan ranks sixth in this

industry. - It also holds the same rank in the

building of wood working machinery, wash—

ing machines, agricultural implements, and

paints and varnishes. The value of the annual

output of agricultural implements exceeds

$11,000,000, or 3.6 per cent of the National

production. Paints and varnishes contribute

over $20,000,000 to the State’s factories pro-

_ducing them, six per cent of the total output

being credited to Michigan plants. Even in

such small things as needles, pins, and hooks

and eyes Michigan holds its own with a rank

of eighth place and a production of three per

cent of the country’s total. The State also ranks fifth in the production

of rubber goods, 4.4 per cent of the country’s total coming from Mich-

igan factories. The annual value of these products exceeds $50,000,000.





There are many classes of manufactured goods in which Michigan

holds important rank aside from those previously mentioned. Among

these .are blast furnaces, machine tools, lumber products and manufac—

tured gas, in each of which the State holds seventh place. The State

supplies six-per cent of the machine tools manufactured in this country,

and 4.3 per cent of the lumber products. The value of the latter for

1919 was nearly $89,000,000. In the same year, nearly eighteen million

dollars’ worth or 5.5 per cent of the gas manufactured in the United

States was produced in Michigan plants.





In printing and publishing, the State ranks eighth, the value of the

output reaching $46,829,000 in 1919 and comprising 2.8 per cent of the

country’s total. The value of paper and wood pulp manufactured that

year was $66 300,000, or 8.4 per cent of the United States’ production.

Only five other states made a better record. In dairy machinery, Mich—

i an ranks eighth. It also holds the same place in the manufacture of



nished leather and phonographs, the former having an annual value of

nearly $50,000,000, and comprising. 4.8 per cent of all that is manufac-

tured in the United States.

Potato Spraying for Profit





Some W ortéwm/e Téougflts on Mating Spraying EJ996767”

By H. C. Moore





INCE potato growers of Michigan

S are interested'in \putting on the



market, better quality potatoes at

a lower production cost, it is impor-

tant that they give careful attention

this season to the matter of spraying.

High quality potatoes and high yields

are not secured from plants whose

leaves are riddled by insects or in-

fected with blights. Healthy green

leaves are absolutely essential, in





tuber development and starch forma—

tion.





Calcium Arsenate for Bugs.





Colorado potato beetles, flea beetles,

leaf hoopers and plant lice are a few

of the more common insects affecting

the potato that can be controlled by

spraying. Both the Colorado beetle

and the flea beetle are leaf chewing

insects and the injury «that they do is

generally recognised by growers.

While the Colorado potato beetle or

bug is familiar to every potato grow-

er, the potato flea beetle is not so

well knowu. This tiny black insect





. which is about the size of a pin head





eats small round holes in the leaves.

It is particularly serious on early p0

tatoes and is generally most common

in fields that~ are weedy 'or that are

surrounded by weeds.





For these two insectsJas well as

leaf chewing. insects, Paris

Green, lead Arsenate or Calcium ar-

senate are the poisons most commonly





used. Paris Green is not as generally3





used as it was a few year ago; it does

not stick to the foliage as well as the





gather poisons named and it may cause





 





a burning of the leaves if applied

without lime.



Calcium Arsenate is now one of the

best poisons for potato bugs, it is

quite cheap, is quick acting and sticks

well to the foliage. It should be used

at the rate of three pounds to every

100 gallons of Bordeaux mixture. ‘If

lead arsenate is used it should be com-

bined with the Bordeaux mixture at

the rate of five pounds to one hundred

gallons.



Probably the most serious insect

pest affecting the potato is the leaf

hopper. This small green insect lives

mostly on the undersides of the leaves

and sucks the juice from the plant.

During August and September, potato

fields that have not been protected

against this pest show a drying of the

plants. The tips and, margins of the

leaves curl upwards and become

black and brittle. This injury to the

leaves may cut the yield forty per cent

or more. ,The most effective spray for

leaf hoppers is home made Bordeaux

made by dissolving four pounds of

Copper Sulphate —— four pounds of

StOne Lime or six pounds of Hydrated

Izime in fifty gallons of water. De-

tailed direction for making Bordeaux

is given in Special Bulletins Nos. 11']





-. and 125 of the Michigan State College.





Bordeaux mixture when properly

made and applied will keep the plants

green throughout the season and

judging from the results of tests and

demonstrations, will generally in-

crease. the. yield forty “bushelsflor more





 





tips of the stalks.





gallons of Bordeaux mixture and spray





per acre. In years when late blight

occurs the use of Bordeaux will save

the potato crop. This fungous disease

attacks the leaves causing black,

water- soaked spots. It spreads rapid-

ly during cool, muggy weather causing

losses in some sections of Michigan

nearly every year and occasionally

damaging the crop over the whole

state.



Early blight another fungous disease

controlled by spraying with Bordeaux

mixture attacks the foliage making

small dark spots on the leaves. These

spots when closely examined show

concentric rings like a target. This

disease is common every year and

takes quite a. heavy toll of the crop by

injuring the leaves, thus lessening the

yield. .



Aside from controlling leaf hoppers,

early blight and late blight, Bordeaux

mixture increases the effectiveness of

whatever poison may be used for in-

sects. It causes the poison to stick

well to the leaf and it has been found

particularly effective when combined

with Calcium Arsenate or Arsenate of

lead in controlling flea. beetles. Every

grower giving serious attention to the

potato crop should use Bordeaux mix-

ture in every spray application.



Potato lice or aphids are serious in

some seasons, they feed on the under-

side of the leaves and on the growing

so that all parts of the plant are cov-

ered with the spray. Observations

should be made for this insect at fre-

quent intervals and the nicotine spray

should be applied before the lice cause

the leaves to curl. V

High Pressure Sprayers for Best

Results.



The success from spraying depends

upon its thoroughness and timeliness.

It is necessary that all parts of the

plant be covered with a thin film of

the spray. To accomplish this a. ma.-

chine that can maintain approximately

two hundred pounds pressure should

be used,— then the spray will be de-

livered in a fine mist that will envelop

the whole plant. Since most insects

and fungous diseases begin their at-

tacks on the lower sides of the leaves,

the spray boom should be equipped

with three nozzles for each row—one

directing the spray downward to

cover the top of the plant and the

other two placed close to the ground

on either side of the row and directing

the spray toward the under sides of

the leaves.



Timeliness of application is all im-

portant.

pers have caused serious injury to the

vines1 but little good can be had from

spraying. The time to spray is before

the damage is done. Generally the

first spray should be applied when the

plants are about six inches high.

Other applications should follow at in—

tervals of ten days or two weeks

In cases, how-

ever, where weather conditions are

favorable for late blight it may be





necessary to spray oftener.

The sing o f William

Jennings Bryan has



T9“ °f illustrated t h e fact

a Man that the real test of a





man is the impression

which he leaves behind at his demise.



Years of political warfare, such as

this great “Commoner” waged, do not

make for unmixed public approbation

during the fray. But years of hard,

earnest and honest w01k in the inter-

est of the country and its people, and

that of humanity in general does bring

its reward in honored and respected

memory.



This earnest man, who first captured

the attention of the public as “The

boy orator of the Platte,” retained that

attention through more losing battles

than any other man this country has

prOduced.



This is perhaps a greater tribute to

force of character and honest purpose

than could be measured. by repeated

personal successes. The post-mortem

tributes to this great man may well

serve as an example to all of us that

the highest reward of our efforts may

not be of a. merely material nature.





M ANY people of





“e pessimistic ten-



. . dencies seem to feel

Rlsln‘ that the boys and

Generation girls of today are not





as dependable as

were the boys and girls of yesterday.

They say the rising generation does

not work as much as preceding ones

and does not assume responsibility.

There is too much time given to plea-

sure. Fear is expressed that society

is headed for the bow-wows.



But are we warranted in assuming

any such thing? Should we not mea-

sure their position today by what they

accomplish rather than by trying to

compare them with the boys and girls

of former days? Living conditions are

much different. Our young people have

much more leisure because they can

accomplish so much more in a given

len h of time. They don’t have to

work long hours now to get a mere

living. And are they not contributing

more to the prosperity of the country ,

and the welfare of society, not because

they are more willing but because they

are able to do so under changed con-

~ditions?

ops character. All boys, to be sure,

will notturn out as you want them to.





. ' They never did and probably never:





will. But we can’t believe this easing

up of toll for mere subsistence, this

easier way of getting a living, will

send seciety to the bow-Wows if this

extra leisure is properly directed.





. H E development

The (36.0”, of *t h e farmers’

' marketing associa-

and the tions is deemed to be

Community the most spectacular

- among the co-opera-

tive enterprises of the country. These

associations have made such strides

in the last five or s /x years, until now,

about one-seventh of the farmers are

members of some association of this

type. '

It is apparent that there is a direct

relation between business and pleat

sure. If the business, or the income

producing enterprises, are not success-

ful the social factors are unfavorably

influenced. Likewise students of rural

life find that a successful co—op often

has considerable favorable, influence

on the development of the religious,

educational and social organizations in

the community.





The thought now is that these' busi-

ness-only organizations should become

active in the social and other activi-

ties of the community in which they

are located. In fostering or support-

ing such enterprises, the co-op makes

itself more a part of the family and

community interest. The mere fact

that it takes part in such community

activities conveys to the minds of

many several additional good reasons

for its existence. By such activity, it

makes an emotional appeal and, as

every student of psychology knows,

the emotional appeal is the most

effective one.





In some cases co-ops have deferred

patronage dividends in order to foster

some laudable social, religious or edu-

cational project. In some organizations

women are permitted to hold member-

ship, and with good results.





The Michigan State Farm Bureau is

on the right basis in its present mem-

bership appeal when it stresses loy-

alty to rural community betterment as

one of the chief reasons for taking

out a Bureau membership.

The public is us-

whatever is offered that pleases it. It

does not take the initiative in making

demands for certain things in certain

forms. But, it takes sugar as it is

always takes the best. That’s why

second grade stuff is a drug on the

market, and the best is always alright

until something better comes out.



The public is usually sold; it gen-

erally does not buy. Please witness

as evidence the styles in dresses. First

come dresses of a certain prevailing

design or ,color. Millions buy them.

In a little while something else comes

out and about the same millions buy

again. High powered merchandizers

recognize that the public is sold, and

plans are laid accordingly to sell the

public as much as possible.

However, we have good news. 'The

The facts are that last year the

farmers made 4.6% on their money

after "all. expenses, including the

farmers’ own labor, were paid. In

other words, he got 4.6% for what he

paid more than 6% for. He can’t

make money very fast at that. But

there is hope. these earnings are 1.3%

higher than they were the year

before.





These men who dabble in big fig-

ures say that the farmer owns 79%

of his property. With ”the interest he

has to pay on the. balance it brings

his net income on the unincumbered

part about 4.1% as campared to 2.5%

the year before. These figurers also

say that, while the farmer’s income is

increasing, he is paying less for his

mortgage money. Last year he paid

6.4% and the year before 6.6%. which

seems to indicate that the more you

are making, the less you have to pay.

rather supporting the bibical maxim

of “To him that hath,” etc.





But, now, if the income of our rural

inhabitants will jump another 11.3%

this year after earning fair wages for

himself, everything ought to be lovely.

To make six percent on your money

and earn decent wages besides will

keep the wolf from the door and buy

gasoline besides. Of course there is

managerial ability to be considered.

But, we presume that the farmer is

not supposed to have any such ability,

so that should notbe considered. We

are willing to bet, though, that the

farmer who happens to have any de-

gree of such an attribute is making

over the average figures above. '



However, the point is, are you get-

ting your share of that 4.6? Of course,

we refer to money, not beer.





HE other day we



went into a drug

store and asked for a

well-known vitamin

preparation, and it

was not carried [in

stock. The clerk was asked why. He

said that when the public got to know

the value of vitamins, drug manu-

facturers capitalized on the popularity

of the vitamin and make commercial

products which sold well for a while.

But, soon the public learned that these

great essentials of health could be

taken more effectively in foods than

in drugs and therefore, the vitamin

product business went bad.

Eva Lm‘ion





0U know I’ve been-readin’ a whole-





lot about Eva Lution lately, You

see Eva was on trial down south fer

too much monkey business. Guess

they got right down ta fundamental

facts in a modern sort 0’ way, accord-

in’ to the papers. But Eva lost out,

I guess, ’cause men made monkeys o'

themselves tryin’ to defend her.





Now anything what kin make such





a stir as Eva did is worth lookin’ into.

So I’ve been tryin’ to learn all I could

about MissflE. Lution. I find that what

you call a thorough scientific examina;

tion 0’ her shows

that she is O. K. ;

that there ain’t

nothin’ the mat-

ter 0’ her. But

there’s certain re«

1 i g u s investiga-

shuns what report

that her morals

ain’t what they

should be.



I figure that ,Eva got into trouble

’cause she made men outta monkeys.

Now I think she should be praised fer

that’ cause that’ a lots better than what

some women do when they make mon-

keys outta. men.





I know some folkses think man was

made outta dust. Well maybe he was. ‘

But if that is so we hate our start





 





’cause none 0' us like dust and the,





way some folkses kick it up, they ain’t

got no respect fer comin’ generashuns

or those what’s gone.





But I guess I’ll let somebody else

settle this dust queshun’, I’m inter-

ested in MOnkeyshines. Some folkses

say man came from monkey and

others say monkey came from man.

Maybe the last is Iight, ’cause I some-

times think that monkeys get so dis-

gusted the way man was actin' that

they separated from the rest 0’ the

folkses and lived a. decent life.





The trouble with man is that he is

what you call egotistical. He looks

through all the records of this world

and picks out everything what says

he is some punkins. Then he gets up

and says he is a son 0’ God when

maybe he is just a son of a seacook.



I kinda think there’s some truth to

Eva. If man ain’t no better now than

he was a million years ago I feel sorry

fer him. Then he ain’t no better than

monkeys’ cause they are the same as

they were. Men should get better

’cause they’ve got a lot 0’ chances fer

improvemunt while monkeys ain’t.

They’ re alright as they are —— fer

monkeys. ~ ‘





There’s lots 0’ good folkses what

say Eva Lution is progress and where

ever there is progress theres evolu-

tion. If progress and evolution is the,

same I’m tell it.

In the early days the iirst farm

a country blacksmiths, who hammered





out the personal orders at the farmers





in their vicinities who had some new

idea fer/ cutting a corner or saving

the labor of a man, or two during rush

sisted chiefly of making plows and

wagons. Each smithy built up a local

reputation for the kind of plows or

wagons that his neighbors wanted.





As one of the officials of the Asso

ciation of Farm Equipment Manué

.smithy built a better plow than did

any other smithy, the world began

beating a path to his shop, just as

Emerson said it would beat a path to

the door of any man who could make

a better mouse trap than anyone else

could make. , Then, the Smithy hired

an extra man or two and between

seasons he‘made a few extra plows

and took them out to peddle them

from farm to farm. He had to dem

onstrate in most cases and then go

out and see that the plow was pro—

perly handled until it made good

That’s the way service developed.



When the plows were left at the

crOss-roads store or the post office for

sale through another person, a dealer

organization in an embryonic form

sprang up.



P Today there are nearly 21, 000 farm



implement dealers in . the United

‘States and every farmer in the coun-

try is within telephone call or a short

automobile ride of one or more deal-

ers who can supply him with 'a cream

separator, plow, gas engine, tractor,

hay loader, manure spreader, ensilage

cutter or any parts of any of these

machines or any other machines he

may wish. Not only that, but he may

have the expert advice of a service

man in setting up, starting and oper-

ating any machine he may buy from

the dealer.





The dealer not only represents—tithe

manufacturer whose name is stamped

on the goods in seeing that the right

machine is sold for the right job, but

he is at the heck and call of the

farmer to back up that manufacturer’s

name and see that each particular

piece at equipment is up to standard

and what is more important, to see

that it fits well into the farming

scheme of that particular farmer.



The implement service was made to

order for the American farmer in

answer to his cry for time and labor-

saving operations during his annual

“peak-loads.” This saving of labor on

last year’s eight leading crops: wheat,

corn, oats, rye, cotton, barley, hay and

potatoes, amounted to nearly one and

one-half billion dollars when the pre-

implement days of a century ago are



“compared with the manner of pro-

ducing, these crops in 1924. These

figures are given out by the United





States Departments of/ Labor and

Agriculture.

Farmers certainly started some-





thing when they began devising labor

and time-saving machinery. They

named their own dish and the manu-

facturers have been kept pretty busy

American railroads are the greatest





users of power in this country_while

farmerscome next, using more power

than either the manufacturing or the

mining industries of the country.

Approximately 60 per cent of the

power. used on farms is animal. power.

Tractors: represent about 17 per cent

of. the total power used, showing a

very" remarkable progress considering

the short time they haire been in use.

Motor trucks represent about 4 per

cent, stationary engines account for

12.5 per cent, windmills a little more

than 1 per cent and electrical instal-

lations represent 5.5 per cent of the

—total power used~ on our farms today.

‘~ Of albthe power‘ used on farms,

about 70 per cent goes into draw-bar

.work and 30 per cent into stationary

or belt work. More power is used for

plowing“than’any other form of farm

work, almost 16 per cent of the total

‘being used for this purpose while road

hauling is second with about 15 per

cent of the total consumption.



Of the belt work, threshing ranks

first in power requirements with

pumping for irrigation or drainage

running second.





 





HIRE GOOD BUS DRIVERS.





PROMINENT farmer paper pub-

lished an article not long ago





'that is of interest to all farmers and





other tax-payers. The article deals

with a judgment that has been ren-

dered by the court in favor of a girl

who was injured while being hauled in

one of the township school hacks.

The judgment, $15,000, according to

the statements in the paper, will have

to be borne by the taxpayers of the

school district. In other words the

amount, if the higher courts uphold

the decision of the lower court, will

have to be paid by the honest farmers

and others individually.



The pity of most situations like this,

is that the drivers are usually careless

or inefficient. In many townships, boys

less than seventeen years’ of'age are

employed to haul the children. Some-

times ten to fifteen children are

hauled in an ordinary Ford touring

car. These conditions will get by until

some boy or girl gets injured; maybe

seriously. Then the taxpayers will

have to foot the bill.





The fact that many accidents may

be prevented if caution is exercised in

employing the truck and hack drivers

for the townships should encourage

every school patron as well as

mothers and fathers to see to it that

only good, reliable men are selected

by the trustee to act as drivers.—

Holt.





 





A MOWER WHEEL AS A

CULTIVATOR. ‘





HE problem that confronts the



farmers after plowing the corn the

last time, as to manner in which he

will control the moisture and kill the

Weeds, is no small one. The corn is

too high to be plowed with a cultivator

‘and then, too, the farmer wishes to

leave the, ground as level as possible.

Both of these problems may be easily

controlled by dragging an old mower

machine wheel between the rows. This

serves the purpose very well. It will

help in controlling the moisture; make

the ground easy to till in the spring

or fall; by leaving it level and free

from ridges; and will control effec-

tively the young, tender weeds if done

before the weeds fail to get a strong

VALUE OF’ HARD WOOD ASHES.





 





I can buy hardwood ashes at $8.00

per ton. Is it a good soil builder, or

is it harmful to thHe sLoil on account of

the lye in it?—R.H





Compared with theL cost of potash in

commercial fertilizers good hard wood

ashes are worth all of $8.00 per ton

for the potash they contain alone be-

sides they contain about 2% of phos-

phoric acid which on the same’basis

would be worth at least $3.00 per ton.





i And again the lime they contain is of

', considerable value on land that has an





acid reaction.



Of course in giving the potash and

phosphoric acid the value paid for in

commercial fertilizers it must be taken

into consideration that in the fertilizer

it is manufactured and bagged and de-

livered and ready and in condition to

apply. The cost of gathering, hauling





' and applying might be so much that





the real value of’the ashes might be

materially reduced as compared to the

fertilizer.



Ashes are not harmful to the soil

but on the contrary are a valuable

fertilizer and should be in all in-

stances applied to the land.





SALE WITHOUT TITLE

for failure to file the certificate of title

within specified time after purchase,

and forbids sale without delivery of

SEEDING TO GRASS IN THE FALL.





 





Will you please advise me when is

the proper time to seed timothy, al-

sike and sweet clover on muck, with-

out a nurse crop? I want to seed this

fall so as to be able to cut it for hay

next year. Would it be advisable to

seed it with a seed drill? Can you

tell me anything about Speltz? Will

it take the place of oats in a rotation?

Is it a good nurse crop? What is its

feeding value for dairy cows? for

hogs? for horses? How does it com—

pare with oats in this respect?—.—.

’J. W. P.





You can do this seeding now any

time when there is sufficient moisture

to assure ' proper germination. The

sooner you seed it the better, as this





_ will give the timothy, alsike and sweet





clover a. chance, to get a good start

before winter. It does not matter

much whether you seed with a drill

or broadcast by hand if you only get

time of the year, it will be necessary

to cover the seed a little deeper than

as though you seeded it early in the

Spring becausepthe immediate surface





[soil is more apt 'to- dry out quICRe’r





than it would early in the spring so '

if you have a good grass seed drill

that you can use, it probably would

be more evenly covered and.a larger

percentage of the seed would germin~





. ate than if sown bfoadcast by .hand '





as it is almost impossible /to cover ,

seed uniformly by harrowing after

broadcasting.



The feeding value of Speltz is more

nearly like wheat than it is like cats

or barley, in fact, Speltz belong to the ’

wheat family of plant. It is a good

feed for all kinds 'of stock if it is not

fed in too, large quantities but with

cows and horses you will get better

results if you mix it with some other

food like ground oats or wheat bran.

Speltz is a richer food than oats .be-

cause you have the hull of the oats

ground with the berry but in Speltz

nearly always the cover is removed.

As a general proposition I don’t think

that Speltz is as good a crop to grow

SOme years it.

Vmight do better than the oat crop. but"

I would pin my faith in cats until I

had carefully tried out the new crop.





SEEDING SWEET CLOVER.





 





I am cutting my fall wheat and

would like you to advise me if it

would be’a good plan to plow and fit

the ground and sew to sweet clover

above for next summer pasture.——H. S.





Sweet clover may be successfully

seeded up until about the middle of

August. If‘seeded later than this date

the plants are not likely to make suf—

ficient growth to carry them through

the winter. .



In case you are able to get the

ground plowed and worked down by

this date and there is sufficient moi-s«

ture to germinate the seed, I would

recommend that you seed the sweet

cIOVer for pasture for next summer.





A HORSE DEAL.





 





Two weeks ago I bought a hors‘é and

had the owner’s word that he would

work anyplace. The horse has ran

away twice, and has chewed the wood

on his stall. I went to see the former

owner about it and wanted him to

take it back. He said pxobably We

had done something to him. I of-

fered to get a vetinarian and pay him,

or pay the former owner for the time

I had worked the horse. This horse

is dangerous and -we feel we must do

something about it soon. —J. S.





If the horse is not as represented,

the buyer has the right to return him

and have refund of the price, provided

the return is made or offered as soon

as deception is discovered—Rood.





SUB—WGHTS.





 





I bought a farm in August and as

the contract is a burden I am going. to

give it up. My yeai will be‘ up in

August. I gave a man a lease which

does not expiIe until December, 1925.

If I surrender contract to the original

owner can he molest the man to whom

I leased the property before his time

is up?——H. L



No one can give rights greater than

his own except to bonefide purchasers

under the recording laws or under ne-

gotiable instruments. The tenant can

be removed by the vendor on forfeit-

ing the contract—Rood.

Frequently the stems of the tomato





' plant becames hollow followed by the





wilting and dying of the plants. Laist

year this trouble appeared in one of

the tomato fields on the Purdue Uni-

versity farm. There was no apparent

reason for the trouble but it was

found that lightning had struck in that

place in the field producing this hollow

stem. Lightning will cause the death

of plants in the immediate vicinity of

the place where it strikes. Tomatoes

beneath trees are often afflicted with

hollow stem apparently because of the

effects of lightning which has struck

the tree.



Hollow stem is not always due to

lightning but may be said to be caused

by a shock of somekind. Transplant-

ing from a very fertile hot bed soil

to dry hot soil in the field may cause

a shock which will result in the hollow

stem. Thorough hardening and ac-

customing the plant to unfavorable

dry conditions will tend to reduce this

disease.





PU RE-BREDS COST LESS.





 





HE .“Better Sires-Better Stock”

campaign being conducted by the

bureau of animal industry in coopera-

tion with the federal and state exten—

sion workers, is making progress in

spots. In some states great interest

is being shown in the movement by

extension workers and farmers. In

others little is being done in stock and

poultry improvement along the lines

provided in this plan. The number of

persons enrolled in the “Better Sires-

Better Stock” campaign is upwards of

15,500, with some 550,000 animals and

close to 1,200,000 fowls undergoing im-

provement. Reports to the bureau in-

dicate that'there are few backsliders

among pure—bred users.

Experience of the breeders in rais-

ing pure-bred and common stock, as

reported to the department, shows

that on an average, and including all

kinds of stock, it costs about one-hun-

dredth of one per cent less to raise a

pure-bred animal to maturity than it

' does a scrub. The chief factors men-

. tioned as making it cost less to raise



pure-breds are earlier maturity result-

'. ing in quicker turnover on investment,

=‘less feed, and fewer losses owing to

the better condition of the breeding

stock. Pure-bred dairy cattle cost





more to raise, but pure-bred meat ani— "

ANESTH ETICS





 





MAN died in the chair of a local

dentist the other day;

from thexeflect of the anes-

thetic; passed out like switching or ‘

an electric light. It was not the fault

of the dentists, nor, in fact, or any-

one. But the occurrence has stirred





. , up"; a lot of interest in the subject of

'_ anesthetics '





There are two main classes. loc‘al :





1 and general.





In the, local anesthetic the patient





retains donsciousness and the anes-

" thetic confines 4ts influence to the





group of tissues operated.



In the general anesthetic the pa-

tibn’t loses consCiousness in anesthetic

sleep. Then mental condition of the





.patient has much to do with the way





in which the anesthetic works. All

surgeons know that the patidlt who

puts entire confidence in the anes-

thetist and yields himself implicitly

to his directions, making no struggle

against the anesthetic, is a much bet-

ter and safer subject, “goes under”

more quickly and has a general better

time.



The general anesthetic most used in

this country today is ether. Chloro-

form used to be the favorite but has

been displaced by ether since early in

the present century. Ether is con-

sidered safer,. especially as to the

nature of after effects. Probably the

very safest anesthetic is nitrous oxid

gas with oxygen, but this requires spe-

cial apparatus and is not so conven-

ient.

FIRST ACCREDITED U. P.

COUNTY.





 





NTONAGON County is the first



accredited county in the Upper

Peninsula in relation to the anti-bo—

vine tuberculosis survey wvhicl; has

been going forward in this section.

The county had previously been given

two tests and this spring infected

herds to the number of: eighty-eight

were given a re—test. On this re-test

1256 animals were examined and not

one reactor was discovered, reports

Dr. F. K. Hanson, assistant state vet-

erinarian. Tests arealso going for—

GRADING POTATOES PAYS.





 





THOMPSON BROTHERS of Chip-

pewa County have proven to their

own satisfaction at least that grading

potatoes for the market pays. Last

season they raised 850 bushels on

their 115-acre farm and by careful

grading were able to dispose of quite

all the crop at a profit. The last forty-

five bushels were sold on the Grand

Rapids market for eighty-five cents

per bushel—the highest price received.

Buyers in cities go, they claim, quite

as much by the reputation of the

grower of potatoes as by the appear-

ance of the potatoes, and to meet the

requirements of the city market close

grading is absolutely necessary.

AGRICU LTURAL SCHOOL NEWS.

county agricultural agent of Men-

cipal of the Menominee County Agri—

cultural School instead of Mr. R. M.

Kehler. who has held that position for

several years past. This school, long

operated as a county agricultural

school by Menominee County with

state aid, has now been definitely

taken over by the Michigan State Col-

lege as an Upper Peninsula branch,

the recent legislature having made an

appropriation covering the expense.

Under its new management the school

is planning a four-year high school





course, with plentiful admixtures of'





agriculture in the curriculum, and also

a two-year course for children from

the farm who cannot. find it possible

to attend throughout the: entire course.

This shorter course will emphasize

farm mechanics and other subjects

related to farming with a good addi-

How it ever happened that such a

no doubt one of the mysteries which

will forever remain unsolved. . Fall in

would be inadequate. Suffice to say

that, tersely told, the lady was a

“Zipper.” ' I



It is wholly probable that the afore-

not totally ignorant of the lady’s de-

in saying that he knew more about

her charms and personal attributes





than the present writer has herewith.





set down. It was these facts and the

knowledge of them which no doubt

caused Mr. J. Matthew Tillson to fall,

and hastened his decision toward the

inevitable proposal.



That he had reached such a deci-

sion, or that he even remotely con-

sidered the serious step, the lady her-

self, had not the slightest idea, how-

ever. Had she been given knowledge

of the forthcoming event, or even been

warned of it, the chances are she

would not have been at home when

Mr. Tillson called. But as it was, she

politely instructed the maid to show

the gentleman up.



The gentleman—Mr. J. Matthew

Tillson, himself—was even more ner-

vous and fiustered than it was accus-

tomary for him to be. But, consider

ing his mission and the serious pur—

port of its, as yet. unknown result, his

More Aéout Bridges

By Mrs. John Cochrun





Now that we’ re discussing bridges, just life's bridges, if you please,

Those perplexing future problems, from our lives, the pleasure squeeze.

Whether to cross them in the morning, or the afternoon before,





Is a rather important question and has plenty thoughts in store.





Don’t you think it would be safer, save you trouble, to be sure,



That it was your bridge, looming, there might be a sign—Detour—



Or perhaps it’s just a shadow that caused all your pain and fright,



And it makes you feel so foolish if you’ ve spent a sleepless night.



But of course, there are real bridges we folks cross them every day;

Just remember, God don’t build them so His child can’t cross some way,

So when you see future bridges wait until you’re there—and then,



They will vanish, or be easier in nine chances out of ten.





(In the issue of June 13 was priilnted a poem by Jack Fowler,

in the July 4 issue.

have you chosen me for your future

wife?”



M1. J. Matthew Tillson explained

He explained fully and at length. He

desa'ibed the lady even better than

she her-self could have done it, and

eulogized every quality and charm.

He complimented her upon her social

standing. He flattered her wealth.

He aired and underscored her accom-

plishments and raved long and earn—

estly over her physical ‘beauty. And

when he had finished finally and

paused for breath, the lady turned to-

ward him eyes which twinkled with





, amusement.





“And you really believe me all you

claim me to be?’



“Oh, yes, indeed!”



“Very intelligent, I believe you said.

VVell-read, accomplished in music, art

and literature?”



“Oh, yes.”



"Loovely, beautiful and gifted be-

yond the average?”





started.’ He then settled down to en-

joy an easier, if less eventful life than

he had led during the busy years of

his uphill, climb.



Dad had never gone in strong for

entertainment, excepting the hoine

kind. Even when the automobile came

he was not greatly interested in it,

and almost never used it, unless some

other member of the family was on

hand to do the driving. He rarely

went to any local entertainments or

even to church, and I can recall only

a few instances when he traveled any

distance away from home, once when

'he and mother went to a distant city

to viSit relatives, and two or three

times when he went on automobile

tours with friends. V



After we children left home, life

slowed up for Dad, not so much dur-

ing the active farming season, but not-

ably so during the long winter months

when there was little travel along the

cross road past the farm. Dad needed





Actz'vz'tzer of A/ Acrer——A/ and 511772 flrm’t T akz'ng Any Chance: on a Fir/I Diet





a new interest, Which for a time was

fully supplied by the first grandchild

which came to the nearby home to!

his eldest born.



Now for the new “kick” that Dad

has gotten. out of life. Strangly

enough it came through» the develop-

ment of his ears. Not that his ears

grew suddenly longer—he always did

need tactful handlingé—but rather that

they brought him wholly new plea-

sures which he had previously lacked

without being really conscious of it.



It all happened suddenly and unex-

pectedly. A friend was instrumental

in getting Dad to install a radio set

in the home. It was put in last win-

ter when the evenings were longest,

and the cold, snowy winter was just

setting in. The ‘very first night the

race was on to see how many broad-

casting stations he could get. All the

world had suddenly become a stage

and Dad wanted to hear the whole

show. From that time his nocturnal

habits changed. Instead of going to

roost with the chickens he sat up with

the Night Hawks. He became a regu-

lar attendant at The Red Apple Club

and traveled on the Midnight Special

from New Orleans. He listened again

to the music of the old fashioned barn

dance, carrying him back to the days

of his youth, and to band concerts





and orchestras, the best in the land]





He even tuned in on the Sunday ser-

mons and was heard to declare that

the radio was worth while just for

that.





When the music began to fade Dad

hustled for new batteries. When he

had bad luck and “shot” a set of tubes

his only “holler” was for more. Now

he’s looking forward to winter, be-

cause the “reception” is better then.



It’s a little hard to evaluate just

what the radio has done for Dad, so

greatly has it widenedhis horizon. He

knows the president’s voice as it has

spoken of governmental policies; his

conception of music is far different

from that which he acquired from

“h o m e demonstrations”; and

knowledge of world conditions as they

effect his business is greatly broad«

ened.



But the greatest thing about it is

the “kick” he gets out of it. It has

convinced me that Dad~is still a boy~

that he will never really grow old—-

and I’m g1ad.——W. A. L

,- ~- deep, ending in a

tremendous gorge, so narrow in one

place that it was barred by a gateway

in the time of Xenophon; when its

name the Syrian Gates.”



Paul felt that the infant churches

which had been established needed

care. Some of them no doubt were

in need of nursing. So, said he, “Let

us go again and visit our brethren in

every city where,we have preached

the word of the Lord, and see how

they do." Christian nurture is not

sufliciently attended to in Protestant

churches. There is not enough real

hnstruction. The careful survey made

The

wild notions of religious things which

many soldiers had were amazing.

They had not been instructed in the

home, the church school, or anywhere

else. And this condition obtains with

thousands in the churches now._





 





TAKE the famous firm of Tennes-

see, Scopes, Bryan and Company,

now so widely advertised throughout

the nation. It partly is an illustra-

tion of this. I am not going to argue

either for or against evolution here.

But one fact is apparent. The state

that has placed this statute on its

books has not had, probably has not

desired, full and impartial teaching on

this matter. Truth is truth, and it is

the duty of the ministry to proclaim

the truth. That is why Paul desired

to return to these baby churches, and

see how they were getting 'on. Who

could tell but that some of them had

developed religious colic by this time?

Maybe something Worse.



This was also true, that in com-

munities such as cities were then, it

would be particularly hard for con-

verts to Christianity. The moral at-

mosphere was not friendly to right

living and high thinking. Superstition,

idolatry were everywhere. These

young Christians needed disinterested

and helpful counsel. Theynhad a hard

row.’ So, said Paul, “Let us go and

visit our brethren in every city."





They had a hard time getting

started. Barnabas assumed that John

Mark would go with them, as he had

the first time. But Paul said, “No,

Mark has not the git, grit and gump-

ti0n for such a journey. He did not

go through with it before. We must

have men who stay by.” So Mark did

not go, and the two men, Paul and

Qarnabas, parted company. Perhaps

they did so with some feeling. The old

version says, the contention was sharp

between them; Moflatt’s translation





'has it, "so in irritation they .parted'





company.” Dr. J. D. Jones says,."Un-

stable, inconstant,’ unreliable men of

‘Mark’s type always create dissension.

God.” »_ -





Barnabas was. mild, compared to

that between many other Christians.

One church I served for a while, when

a student, had official members who

came to church solemnly each Sun-

day, sat on opposite sides 'of the

church, but never spoke to each other.

The argument. which the two evangel-

ists had over Mark had'some cause.

There was room for honest difference

of opinion. We are not told that the





two men refused to speak to each'





other thereafter, and we know that

Paul later forgave Mark and had him

as 'personal attendant. To hold a

grudge is one of the craziest, wildest,

most indefensible things that one can

do. It may not hurt the other person,

it certainly hurts the one who holds

it. It is like carrying rotten potatoes

or limburger cheese around in your

pockets. Missionaries in China had

some differences concerning their

work, but they were too wise, too sin-

cere to become angry about it. They

adjusted their difficulties and wrote

out for their guidance this motto, “We

agree to differ, we resolve to love, we

unite to serve.” Tack that up, under

the kitchen clock.





They get to Derbe and to Lystra.

The latter city, you will recoll’ect, was

where Paul had an afternoon tea-party

that became exciting, and he was

stoned and left for dead beside the

road. They now return, for another

tea-party. Dr. F. E. Clark, the founder

and national president of the Christian

Endeavor societies, was in this region

some years’ago. He says of it, “The

scenery in this region is grand and

inspiring beyond description. Snow-

clad mountain-s glistening in the bril-

liant sunshine tower on every side!

Now the Bagdad railway has pierced}

the Taurus Mountains and a tolerably‘

comfortable railway journey will in

three days take one from Constanti-

nople to the apostle’s early,home.”





T Lystra. Paul finds a young man



-named Timothy. It is our first

glimpse of this man who came to play

so important a part in Paul’s life. He

went with Paul from this time on, it

would seem, and was ‘with him in the

later years. The two books of Tim-

othy were addressed to him. The

missionary did not like to work alone.

He wanted someone with him for

company’s sake partly, and doubtless

too so that a man would always be

in training for the future. No doubt

Timothy did what Mark had been

doing, namely, acted as personal at-

tendant and general manager of the

party. He would not buy very many

railway ticke,ts,;but he would always

inquire as to the best roads, the roads

that were most likely to be safe from

bandits, and would, when the joint

pocketbook permitted, hire a mule or

two for the journey. “The apostle

had lost a brother, but he had gained

a son.”





The churches were strengthened,





Acts says, and their membership

grew. It is natural for churches to

grow. If they do not, something is





the matter. Paul never got away

always bore them on his heart. Per-

haps that was the chief reason why

these churches did so well, amid un-

favorable conditions. He tells us he

neveraceased to pray for them.

‘fore leaving home or tourist camp and

will " be fully cooked by the time you

are ready for it. It is not wise to

stock up too heavily for supplies as

they can be purchased anywhere.



Don’t travel too fast; travel for

pleasure, not to make mileage. For--

real enjoyment twenty-five miles an

Take turns

at the wheel. Don’t travel too far in

one day, especially if there are little

ones in the crowd. If you get over—

tired you have to rest more the next

day and you might even get cross.



Camp early. There is nothing more

distressing than trying to settle in a.

strange place after dark. When you

break camp, be sure that the things

you pack away are dry. Foodstuffs

become musty very quickly in hot

There should be a definite

plan. of packing and unpacking, each

one having one special part to do,





‘ yaking the ordeal easier for everyone.





Be careful about the:‘ place where

you camp. See that 16-11%! dean’hnd





family wash tends to make them stay

clean longer besides to greatly im-

prove their appearance. You can

apply the same principle to your kit-

chen walls, especially if they are

newly painted. A hard finish plaster

wall, painted in a pleasing color is

the very best finish for the kitchen

wall, but it needs to be washed. Wash-

ing with a strong enough solution to

remove the dirt often injures the

paint. To prevent this injury to the

paint, apply a thin solution of starch

to the walls after the paint is dry,

using a whitewash brush. During the

year the dirt settles in this starch and

may be removed by washing off the

starch with warm water in which a

solvent is dissolved. The paint is now

fresh and clean. The starch treat-

ment is again applied and protects the

walls until the next cleaning time.





 





SWEET PICKLES THAT WON'T

SHRIVEL.





 





INCE the delicate flavor of small



sweet pickles is enjoyed by almost

every member of the family provide a

number of jars of themwfor use on

picnics and for the winter months.



To keep them from shriveling make

them this ’way:



Select the small cucumbers, about

100 of them, and cover with cold

water for an hour. Place them in a

crock and add a brine solution‘in the

proportions of 1 cup of coarse salt to

a g'alibn of Water. Allow the cucum-r





c’





 





hers to soak for 48 hours and be sure

that they are tightly covered With a

plate during the last 24 hours While

in the brine, the" salt draws out the

water in the pickles and leaves them

shriveled and tough. If Canned

in this manner, they would con-

tinue to be tough, but they are not”

ready to be put ‘in jars at this stage.



Soak the pickles in vinegar for an

hour in order that the water may. go





‘ back into them again and they may





be made tender and turgid. (If the

sugar is added at this time they are

apt to remain shriveled). After soak-

ing in vinegar, pack in sterilized jars,

and pour boiling spicedand sweetened

vinegar over them, and seal.



The amount of sugar may be varied

according to taste, although 1 cup of

sugar is considered a satisfactory

amount for 100 two-inch cucumbers.

The spices may be freshly ground in

the coffee grinder and tied in muslin

bags if the housewife prefers to have

the vinegar remain clear in the jars.

For this quantity of cucumbers, it is

well to use 1 stick of cinnamon, 1





' teaspoon of whole clovers, 1 teaspoon





of whole ailspice, and a bay leaf." "if

the vinegar is too strong it is well to

dilute it, since too strong vinegar

tends to soften the pickles too much.





 





MEDITATIONS FROM THE

KITCHEN.





 





E R'NIE PARKS says he doesn’t



know what’ll hapepn if they ever

’get money enough to remodel their

old house. Every night he and Sara

change some of their plans and he’s

sure that they’ll never be satisfied

with what they build.





 





I never really thought much about

my clothes line until I went to Chiw

cage and saw the place some of the

folks had to hang their clothes. Strung

between windows against bricks-and

on pulleys, they looked queer to me.

We’ve always got something to be

thankful“’1'or even if its only a good

place to hang clothes.





 





Uncle Joe says. that he can’t see

why they charge five cents for a‘glass

of milk and ten cents for a cup of

coffee at the road side stands. He

says it doesn’t sound right.





 





The only ladies in the Mary and

Martha Sunday School class that get

mad when they do not happen to get

a special invitation to some social, are

the ones that wouldn’t come anyway.





 





"HURRY UP” DRESSINGS FOR

COOL SALADS.





 





A T ‘this season of’the'y'ear when

the garden furnishes an abund-

ance of “salad Isass” it is no trOuble

to prepare a hurry up salad. The

dressing for the salad’is usually the

problem but this “Three minute may-

onnaise” will help you:



Measure SQ teaspoon ofsalt, 1/4 tea-

spoon of paprika, and SQ teaspoon of

mustard ‘and 1 teaspoon powdered

sugar. Mix them toogether in a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or

vinegar and carefully add one whole

egg, the yolk of which has not been

broken. Add 1/1, cup of oil and beat

with an egg beater until well

blended. Continue to addoil until the

dressing is as stiff as desired. From

1% to 2 cups of oil are required.



Russian dressing is an easy varia-

tion of mayonnaise dressing. Just be-





fore serving the dressing, add SQ cup





 





of chili sauce to one cup or thick“ _ ~





Another uncooked dressing is made





‘witb fruit juices instead Marines".

Measure 2 tablespoons each of lemon .

and pineapple





juice, orange juice;

juice. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar

and SQ teaspoon of salt to the £1111t

juices and beat in 4 tablespoons of oil.

This recipe make SQ cup of dressing.



French dressing may be quickly

made in a bottle. Measure the follow-

ing ingredients into the container: 1





teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon. salt,1 tear *





spoon dry mustard, 14 teaspoon pep-

per, 1/; ‘cup vinegar and lemon juice,

and 51 cup of oil. Stop the bottle

tightly and shake the .mikture until

the oil and acid are mixed. French

dressing may be varied by adding 1

teaspoon of Worchestershiresauce in

place of the pepper and mustard.

(This recipe makes enough dressing

to last for one week)



If obese members of the family are

very fond of oil dressings but avoid

using them because of the fat which

they contain, such persons may use

salad dressing containing mineral oil.

This oil as everyone knews is not a

food and may be purchased at any

drug store. It gives the desired flavor

to the salad without adding energy in





the form of fat.

Doings in





T he W cod/and W and”: Mart O‘ver Agam





ROWNIE‘didn’t want to take the

B little sail boat they had found



back to its o’wner and Rolly

Rabbit didn’t either, but Bruin was

their Captain so back they sailed. The

way back seemed so much farther,

ever so much farther, than it did when

they were going the other way and

were headed for the Land of Adven—

ture. ‘



Slowly and reluctantly they sailed

their little craft around the rocky

bends in the river, past where the

Wishing Willies had been so kind to

them and then on and on.





 





.“We are_very sorry we took -»your

boat," said Bruin.



But as they sailed along in the other

direction everything looked differently

-to them and not one of the three

Woodland Adventurers could remem-

ber where they found their little boat.



“Where will we leave our boat?”

asked Rolly Rabbit. He called it their

boat for he very much wanted it.



"We will try to take it back to the

very place we found it anchored,” 'said

Bruin. “Then perhaps the Wise Old

Owl will tell us the way to Happy

Land.”



They sailed and sailed all that day

and late in the afternoon they came

toaplace where the little ‘river flowed

around every sharp bend in the rocks.





‘2'”.“4Holz Hit Ho!“ shouted Rally” Rab-





Woodland





bit. “We are back. There is our path

into the Woods. Right there by that

big rock was where the little sail

boat was anchored.”



“Right ho! It is,”

Brownie.



At the sound of voices queer little

people came running from behind the

rocks and bushes. They did not look

like anyone the Woodland Adventur-

ers had ever seen. They looked the

nearest like the Wishing Willies. Yet

these little people wore green suits

just the color of the leaves on the

trees so that you had to look twice to

see them and they had long whiskers.



At the sight of the sail boat they

began to clap their hands and to dance

and sing.



“I wonder what makes those little

folks so happy?" asked Rolly.



“We will cast our anchor. Perhaps

this is their boat,” said Bruin. But

the little boat had scarcely pushed

its nose to the shore when these little

people dressed in green clambered

down to it. They were still dancing





said Bruin and





and singing.

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank

you! The Wishing Willies have





’ answered our wishes. Thank you for

_ bringing our boat back to us. Now

we can bring the fishes for the king

and we will all have food,” they sang.

_“We are very sorry we took your

boat and kept you without food,” said

Bruin as he handed the oar to the

queer little fellow with longest whis-

kers. “We promise you we will never

take your boat again.”





Then the three \Voodland adven-

turers started back to find the Wise

Old Owl who would perhaps tell them

the way to Happy Land. But before

they started they resolved never again

to take anything 'that did not belOng

to them.

‘. ‘ ,_..





Same - T riéute: by Mérry Ciro/err - .





‘UR mail man has traveled through

the snow, drafts and mud for

_ about eight years. ,



I think he should be appreciate

and be given more respect than he

usually gets. ""



In the spring he has to travel

through mud and slush. In summer

he has to travel in the hot sun and

rain.





In autumn he has to ride over the





frozen grown with cold wind in his

face.

Winter is the hardest part for the





 





 





what Ariel





is

Denton calls this.





» “Barrowed Trouble”





mail man he has to travel through the

big snow drifts and storms.



And one day we had a great storm

and he came on his route and after

that he had the pneumonia and could-

n’t comefor a long time. ,



He thought he was well enough and

he started again and had a relapse.

So he sent a substitute in his place.

Our mail man travels 35 miles each

day over high hills and sandy, rough

roads. At first he drove his horse and

buggy and about five years ago he

bought a car and since then he has

had three other cars.



We can most always tell when our

mail man is coming because we can

always hear his beautiful whistle——

Annabel Bushaw, Hartford, Mich.





 





A more faithful man can not be

found than the mailman. He endures

all hardships and toils very hard that

we may get our messages of sorrow

or "joy. Little we know of what he

sacrifices to meet our pleasure. But

many people are very ungrateful and

when the mail man doesn’t come

“Johnny on the spot,” they scowl and

fret.





Many a time people do not put the

right address on the, envelope and if

they do not get an answer right away

they blame the mail man because he

does not bring it. In the meantime,

while these people are scowling about

him, the mail man is trying to do all

in his power to find the person to

which the letter must go and bring

the answer back. -





On rainy, stormy and wintry days

the mail man has to toil from morn-

ing till night, always trying to get to

every place on time and to deliver

every thing. _



In the winter when the roads are

packed with snow and the mail man

cannot ride through, he does not leave

K the mail to wait until a time comes

"that he can drive through, but does

all hecan to find another way to de- .

liver the messages.

~ -‘ I think the mail man is a very true.

and kind man-rte sacrifice so many-





things and toil so hard to please us.

I also do not think it fair for so many

people to pick on him' when he tries

so hard to please.-—Fldrence'_ Litkow-

ski, Saginaw. Mich. .- -





 





We sure had ought to apprecite the

kind men who brave. the ‘storms and

sunshine. as days come and go. ‘



Our mail man comes about one





o’clock each day. He just lacks three





and one-half miles of having his route ‘





completed after leaving here.





In the summer, I give him little sur-

prises such as “picking him a nice





quart of black berries or give him





plums and peaches. I put the signal

out and of course he stops to get "the

mail and he finds it to be his own.

Then he toots his horn which is to

thank me and on he goes.



I never saw him mad or out of pa-

tience. He always has a “Hello” for

everybody. .



Our mail man has a Wife and a little

girl 4 years old. They have a octtage

on the lake. After his route is com-





‘the next day’s 'dti'tybeginsr; . .

Each day, findsihim "on‘the job. The



same old smile and the-samepld auto.



.—Eldon, R. Wyland, . Syracuse, Ind.





‘ \





 





\





The mail Man is a. good and kind.





man. Sometimes he brings happiness,

sometimes sorrow.





When I mail a letter and put two

cents for postage, our mailman puts

a two cent stamp on the envelope and

leaves the money. -Don’t _you think

that’s a kind thing to do? I do.



I'have sort'of golden hair and our

mailman would always ,call me f‘Gold-

en Curls.” I Would curl» my hair then

it would look so pretty. Every morn-

ing I always get the mail, and he al-

ways smilesnat me, bows his heéd in

friendship and says “Good morning.”

I think that’s very nice.



One morning we got a letter of

friendship, one of happiness, and one

of sorrow. We opened the happiness

one first, then we. were happy. Then

the friendship one was opened and we

felt friendly. Then the_ sorrow letter

was read and we felt sad. That’s the

way things go, is’n’t it?—Theresa Ko-

ciba, M. C., Harbor Beach, Michigan.

Dear Uncle Frank: '



Now, Mr. Waste Basket, I am writ-

had a dream the other night. I



thought I was in your office and all I

could see was velvet cushions with the

names of the contest winners worked

on them. Now wasn’t that funny.



Uncle Frank, won’t you please put

your picture in the paper . I am mak-

ing a picture album of the Merry

Circlers pictures I cut out of the paper

and I want your picture too—Your

niece, Irma Ewing, Osseo, Mich., R. 1.



That was a cushiony dream you had.

The girls here say that it would be too

big a job to work ten cushions a week.

Can’t you use some of those cartoon

of me in your album? »





 





Dear Uncle Frank:





You sure are a. “ripe one” because

you know just what we M. C.’s want

and like for a contest. But say, how

do you know that there is much work

out on a farm at this time of the year?

Must be that your sweetheart lives out

on a farm, and when you go out to

see her you find out about the hard

work now—a-days, eh? (tut-tut).



Well, I have really been a busy gal

helping my folks in every way I could.

I helped my dad drag and roll the

ground for beans and corn, but the

corn we put in the first time didn’t

come up very good so we had to patch

it all over again. I patched‘ for three

days.





 





I cut the“ thistlés and weeds-





out of our oats and gathered lots of

'stones from the fields. I just got

through cultivating our corn for the

third time yesterday, and today I cut

hay. We will be hauling it in in a few

days, I suppose.



Around the house I also help a lot.

I milk night and morning, sometimes

feed pigs, and chickens and work in

the garden for mother.-——Mary Vitck,

M. C., R. No. 5, St. Johns, Michigan.



You are some worker. . I bet you are

a regular helping hand. No, my sweet-

heart doesn’t live in the country, but

she is staying there now. And, be-

sides I know a little about farm work,

’cause I'_ve “been there” myself. You

surely don’t feed pigs and milk around

the home, do you?



\





 





Dear Uncle:





I’ve read the boys and girls page

for some time and I think we are run-

ning out of discussions by the looks.

I also think we’ve talked about smok-

ing long enough. We all have our\

faults. Let’s talk about fortune-telling

awhile; what do you say, cousins?

And, Unk, now is the time to express

your opinions. Well, so much for that.‘



Now, Uncle Frank, don’t you believe'

in being fair to everyone? I’m sure‘»

an Uncle like you would. So, if you

do, why not let the ones that cannot

draw “you” have a contest to describe

you? .

the M. C.’s for the letters I have en-

joyed. I have won some nice friends

through the Merry Circle.



I must close now with many thanks

and best wishes to Uncle Frank and

I am glad you have enjoyed the

Merry Circle and hope you will con-

tinue to. Just because you are past

eighteen isn’t any reason that you

shouldn’t write once in a while even

though you , cannot take part in the

contests.





 





My dear Uncle Frank:

, I am here again, my third try for

a. prize but not‘my last. -



We have a summer home on the

farm and it is lovely to be where you

can look for miles and see fields of

wheat and other things- I enjoy the

farm three times more than the city.

I think that if all the boys and girls

who ache to live in the city would

come here (Detroit) and live for a

year they would be more than glad to

return to where the air is fresh? and

pure—Your niece, Elva Dittman, 1712





. Hibbard Ave., Detroit, Mich.





I agree that most anyone can enjoy

countryvlife ,more than that in, the

city. -

The Auto-Oiled Aermotor has behind it a record of 10 years





.. In all climatesand under the severestcon-

it has proven itself to be a real self—onling





Windmill and a most reliable pumping machine. -,

An Auto-Oiled Aermotor, when once properly erected,





needs no further attention except the annual oiling.

There are no bolts or nuts to work loose and no delicate

parts to get out of order.



There are no untried features in the Auto-Oiled .

Aermotor. The gears run in oil in the oil-tight, storm-

proof gear case just asthey did 10 years ago. Some refine-





ments have been made, asexperience has shown the possibil-

ity of improvement, but the original simplicity of design has

been retained while greater perfection of operation has been

achieved. The Aermotor is wonderfully efficient in the light

winds, which are the prevailing ones. The self-oiled motor works

with practically no friction, and the wind-wheel of the Aermotor





run in the lightest breeze. It is also amply strong to





run safely in the strongest winds. In any condition of wind or weather you may be ,

sure that the Auto-Oiled Aermotor will give you the best of service. It is made,

'm'ade‘fo‘r the employment of zat'poultry





f expert who will devote his time 'to





systematic" Work in' the' eradication of

avian tuberculosis and to theigeneral





impifqfiia’ent in "the, quality, of the

. poultry flocks, of the country.





It is to be recalled that the farmers

of Hillsdale County were the‘mrst. in.

the United States to receive the pre-

mium .of ten cents per hundred above

market price, on hogs by virtue of the

fact that this county was one of the

first group officially designated by the

United States Department of Agricul;

ture as a modified accredited area.



During the process of accreditation

all of the breeding cattle in the county

were tuberculin tested twice and the

infected herds retested a number of

times, until it was found that less than

one-half of one percent reacted to the

test. The removal of the tuberculous

cattle from the county has eliminated

the cause of approximately 90 percent

of the condemnations for tuberculosis

in swine as revealed by postmortem

reports from the office of the Chief

Inspector at the Buffalo market. These

postmortem reports have been re-

ceived covering 35,789 hogs bred and

fed in that county since it was accred-

ited. This represents the hogs on

which the premium has been paid and

which were killed separately to get a.

check' on the results. There were

many more from that county on which

the premium has been paid which

were not killed separately and there-

fore no tests available. Enough data

has been secured to show some very

interesting results.





On the basis of the average percent

of infection among hogs in surround-

ing territory there should have been

approximately 300 carcasses con-

demned and twenty-one sterilized.

There Were, however, a considerable

number of these hogs that showed on

postmortem slight lesions of tubercu-

losis in the glands of the throat which

causedmanw of the heads to be con-

demned.



Laboratory tests of these glands

demonstrate that nearly all of these

head lesions were of the avian type

as a result of the hogs picking up the

germs as found in chicken dung. This

infection in poultry is also trans

mitted to swine by the common. prac-

tice of permitting hogs to eat the car-

casses of chickens which have died of

tuberculosis on the premises. Hills-

dale County now proposes to clean up

all poultry flocks to eliminate these

slight cases as well as the generalized

cases of the bovine type. The effect

of this campaign on swine will be in

reality incidental to the general im-

provement in the conditions of the

flocks of the county. The poultry in-

dustry in\ Hilsdale County brings in

annually a. revenue of approximately

$1,000,000.00. By eliminating all of the

tuberculosis and by systematic im-

provement in quality as well as health,

it__will not be unreasonable to expect

in a comparatively few years an an-

nual revenue of $2,000,000.00.





 





A few months ago through the co-

operation of the Michigan State Agrb

cultural College practically all of the

poultry flocks in One township were

closely culled to eliminate all light

weight chickens or any others that

showed any symptoms of tuberculosis.

The work in that one township has

already given valuable results in put--\

ting the poultry flocks on a more pro-

fltable basis. QWh‘lle culling will

doubtless remove the spreadel‘s of this

those which, have. the disease, but





.L





 





 





 





have ‘not ‘yet reached atheifstage in





physical symptoms. This work- in

Adams Township did reveal the. fact

that approximately fifty percent of the

flocks were infected with tuberculosis.

There is every reason,to,.believe,pt_.b.at

many other counties in- Michigan and





other middle west states are just as





badly infected. ’A poultry flock can

not be profitable under these condi-

tions. When a flock is foundto be

infected a. more thorough plan of era-

dication is too dispose of allihe chick-

ens ‘at the close of the egg laying sea-

son keeping young chicks on' freshly

ploughed * ground until danger of in-

fection is over. ' ‘_





TH E EGG-LAY! NG CONTEST.





-r





HE heavy breeds are again in the

lead in the Michigan Internatidnal

Egg-Laying contest. The West Neck

Poultry Farm Rhode Island reds hold





 





first place with 1896 eggs, while fol»





lowing closely behind are; the White

Leghorns belonging to the Royal Hat-

chery with a. credit of 1885 eggs.



The next two pens are leghorns.

The St. Johns Poultry Farm pen has

laid 1796 and the J. P. Gasson pen

comes next with 1697. Then come the

winter Egg Poultry Farm Barred

Rocks with 1678 eggs to its credit.



The average production per hen for

the whole contest for 38 weeks is 132.4

eggs as compared with 119.1 eggs at

the same time last year, and 119.4

eggs two years ago.



Forty-seven eggs was the highest

production for a pen for the week. It

was made by the Barred Rocks. from

the Kentucky Univeré’ity.





 





OLD HENS NOT SURE WINTER

LAYERS.





 





GE is no indication of worth in the



feathered kingdom 01d h’ens do

not make dependable winter produc-

ers. They are usually. occupied with

”their molt about the time high prices

are ruling. These hens may be very

desirable for breeding good chicks for

the next season but the early hatched

pullets are the ones that shell out the

winter eggs. Early hatched birds are

those that reach laying ago before

severe cold weather sets in. The

lighter breeds, like the Leghorns, will

begin to lay in five to six months but

a month or two must be added to this

for the American breeds like the

Rocks and Reds. Asiatics require

from nine to ten months, and hence

are not profitable as a rule.





 





LEG WEAKNESS.





 





We have

horns. About two weeks ago they be-

gan to .die. They do not seem sick,

but their legs get weak. Their body

seems too heavy for their legs. Some-

times they drop down and turn over

on_the Slde or back and the neck is

tw18ted so the .head lies on the ground.

Some say it is intestinal worms for

which nothing can be done. They

have corn and wheat—mostly the lat-

ter—dry ground corn and oats, oyster

shelhand sour milk before them all

the time ..The coup has been sprayed

with old 011 from the car for lice. We

examined a hen but found no lice. Can

you give us some information?—-L. M.





Leg Weakness, seems to be a sort of

paralysis for which there is no‘rem-

edy except prevention. It most often

occurs among rapidly growing cock—





erels when the weight of the body'

seems greater than the strength. The





use of a balanced- drysmashi'and scur‘

develop sturdy frames on [the birds,

such trouble.





Gosunes WITH worms. H g ?





 





My goslings do fine up to about

four weeks old, then all die. They l

have spells of leg weakness. Before '

they die they seem to be all paralized

and, very thin. I feed them soaked

dried bread in sour milk up to about

two weeks’ old and then let them

rustle for themselves. Got good clo-

ver, timothy, sweet clover and alfalfa

pastures. Plenty of sand and clean _ E

water before them at all times. They i

seem to have good appetite until they

die—Mrs. A. M. B.



Goslings that are weak in the legs

and very thin sometimes are infested ‘

with worms. On remedy is to mix g

one-fourth pound sulphur, one-fourth ,

pound Epsom salts and two ounces f

powdered copperas in 25 pounds of the s

mash. The mash containing the med-

icine is used once each day. Goslings

sometimes have congestion of the

brain often due to fright, digestive

disorders or worms. Two teaspoon-

fuls of castor oil to each gosling is

sometimes a useful remedy.-

fluent—Pope.





 





SHADE AND' WATER.





HE hot dry days of midsummer

make plenty of shade and water

highly important for the live stock.

Don’t neglect them. The comfort of

the animal is the first essential if we

would have profitable gains. Shade

and water insure comfort this time of

year, they ost little and return much.

You who ead this know how you ap-

preciate them. The hogs and the sheep

and the cattle have similar feelings.—

Pope.





 





GIVE THE LAMBS AN EARLY

START.





N order that the lambs may deVelop ‘

rapidly and continuously at a min-

imum cost it is very important that

they be started right early in life.

After the lambs are dropped it is a

good plan to keep them and their’

dams—separate from the rest of the

flock until they gain the necessary

‘strength to go with the rest of the1

flocks. The ewes need plenty of roots .

or other succulent food and a. liberal ‘

ration which contains suflicient pro-

tein to promote a. full flow of milk.





When the lambs have reached the

age of ten days to two weeks, a. small

pen should be arranged in one corner

of the sheep barn or yard and a lamb

creep provided by which the lambs‘

can gain access to the pen at all times,

while their dams are excluded. Some

bran should be placed in a trough

there at first, which will quickly be

found and a considerable amount

eaten, and after they have becomeflac-

customed to this grain feed, a little

ground cats with the hulls removed

may be added. This with the clover

leaves they will eat, if the ewes are

fed bright clover hay, will materially

hasten their growth, and when they

are turned out to grass they will have

made a fine start.





 





Many farmers and stock growers

make a mistake in taking the grain

rations from the ewes as soon as they

are turned to grass.

only stop to think of the great differ-

ence between dry feed and the succu-

lent grass, he will see how very essen-

‘tion it is that such changes be made

gradually and continuously. Not only





at least until the sheep become thor-

oughly accustomed to pasture, but

some clover hay should be fed once a





turned to grass. Some farmers claim

that their sheep will not eat hay after

Another plan that has proved a. good

VETERINARY





Abscess .—I have a cow with pain-

ful bunch under her breast and would

like to know what to apply. A. M.

M., Houghton, Mich—Paint the bunch

with tincture of iodine twice daily,

when it softens open and allow pus to

drain out, then swab cavity with tinc-

ture of iodine daily.





Clinging Afterbirth. ——I have a cow

that has not lost her afterbirth after





calving. She seems to be in good

health, milking well; the calf is one

week old. T. H. B., Manton, Mich.—





Mix one part lysol with 99 parts of

water, or one ounce in three quarts

of tepid water and flush vagina twice

a. day. If the placenta has been ex-

pelled and the cow is free from any

vaginal discharge then leave her alone.

Many very valuable cows have been

ruined- while taking away the after-

birth by hand. This is work which

should be done in a cautious, cleanly

manner. If not, ,leave her in the hand

of nature.





Rheumatism—I have a cow that

freshened five weeks ago. Four days

ago she seemed to stiffen and act sore,

as if affected all over. She has fine

appetite. W. J. G., Dowagiac, Mich:—

Give her a teaspo'onful of sodium sali-

cylate in soft feed three times a day,

or givelher same dose of'nitrate of

potash in drinking water three times;

a day. Keep her warm.

What a county





' in the seedbox





Cheap seed and cheap oil

raise the same kind of ' crops





Some time ago, the County Agent in Jefferson

County, Kansas, visited one of his farmers dur—

ing the sowing season, and found him using

seed costing $9.00 a bushel, although the mar-

ket price of good seed was $12.00. A sample of

the so—called cheap seed was taken from the

seedbox and sent to the state agricultural college.





The test disclosed that the “bargain—counter”

seeds contained twenty-one different kinds of

weed seeds and 35.5% of dead crop seeds. Seed

that supposedly cost $9.00 a bushel actually

was costing that farmer $16.43, not to mention

the crop damage from weeds.





County agents do not come around to test

the quality of the oil that goes into automo-

biles, trucks and tractors. If they did, there

would be even more thousands of farmers using

Mobiloil and getting a full yield of power and

steady engine performance, and a lean crop of

repair bills and “lay—ups.”





“Weed oils” produce a thin crop

of satisfaction

Cheap oil has its “weeds”—-its quick-forming

carbon and “sludge,” its laclg of qualities that

give an oil the character

and ability to stand up and

prevent rapid wear under

heavy service. Cheap oil

seldom means cheap lubri-

cation. Its cheapness dis-

appears as soon as it gets

into the crankcase. It

may cost'less by the quart than Mobiloil

does, but it does not have/such a low cost

per mile.

and it means quicker and more frequent

break-downs. '





Avoid “ weed ” lubrication by getting your

oils from a reliable source. Don’t accept the

miscellaneous oils that are offered around from

door to door, sometimes apparently a few cents

cheaper bottoming from goodness knows where.





~W here to get “certified” oil \

“Certified” lubrication is easy to secure. Near

your home you will find a responsible Mobiloil

dealer who does business year after year at the

same place and with the same people. He gives

advisory lubrication service, and keeps his cus-

tomers through his reliability. On his walls he

has the Gargoyle Mobiloil Chart of Recom—

mendations, which specifies tlie correct grade

of oil for every make and model of motor.





In offering Mobiloil and the Chart, this

dealer is offeringyou the product of a com-

pany which has specialized in lubrication for

over 59 years and whose Board of Engineers is

the World’s recognized authority on scientific

lubrication.
