HE’ questien of rural betterment





is receiving. cogsiderable atten- -





tion, and many plans have been

worked out by” which to arouse com-

munity interest, and from interest to





‘ proceed to desire and action.





We have in Michigan a. minister who

has given a lot of study to the prob-

' lem, and the results of his experiments

are gratifying. This man is Rev. A. “.B.





Van Schoik, of Hollovvay, The church ,





is located in a very fertile part of

Michigan, and the farmers are pros-

perous. Rev. Van Schoik is linking

closer the church and farm, and one

method ‘h\‘e is using is by conducting

some experiments to determine wheth-

er the farmers are~ growing the best

varieties of crops for their section.





Bigger crops means more to sell,

more money received, and thus makes

conditions more pleasant on the farms

around Holloway.





Up until a year ago Rev. Van Schoik

was located at Claiborne, Ohio. There

he decided to try out some experi-

ments to see which variety of oats

would do best for his farmer friends.

The results of two years’ tests con-

vinced him that the Miami cats were

superior to anything else he could find.

This variety, however, was not being

grown here.





He then made a proposition to his

parishoners. ‘He would buy seed oats

. for them. They were to plant a part

of their oa‘t ‘acreage with the Miami

oats and part with their own seed, as

was their custom. Each part was to

be threshed separately, and any addi-

tional yield of the Miami over their

own oats was to .be given to th’e

church.



Twenty-nine farmers accepted this

proposition. Interest was great in-

deed, at threshing time, and they

found that every man had to market

some bats for the church. ,One man

found that on twenty acres of Miami

cats the yield was ten bushels per acre

higher than on his other field. He

brought in .500 bushels. The. church

-netted some $700, which was increas-

ed wealth. This community was that

much more wealthy, due to changing

to a better variety of cats. The fol-

lowing year the returns to the com-

munity would be much greater, when

largeracreages would be planted.



Since coming to Michigan and study-

ing his problem at Holloway, Rev. Van

Schoik is testing out a number of va-

rieties of grains and alfalfa in cooper-

ation with the Farm Creps Extension

Department of the Michigan State

College.



Arrangements were completed last

winter by Rev. Van Schoik for the use

of a twelve-acre field lying along the

road adjacent to the church. At pres-

ent this field is in wheat. A part has





been seeded to several varieties of a1—.





falfa, including Grimm, Le Beau, On-

tario Variegated, Utah Common, and

Argentine seed. If the Argentine plat

performs here as in other counties of

Michigan, it will demonstrate the val-

ue of known origin seed. Enough of

this seed was’ brought into the United

States during the past two years to

seed upwards of one million acres. No

one knows how much found its way

into Michigan, but experiments show

that the next year after seeding, it

will produce only fifty to seventy per

cent as much as Grimm. It is desir-

able that farmersknow how inferior

this seed is, and that such seed is on

the market, so that they will exercise

caution and buy only through reliable

seed dealers.





Should Lenawee county one year

sow all Argentine alfalfa seed, the loss

would amount to nearly a million dol-

lars in that county. Any individual

who sows twelve acres with this seed

can estimate his damage at not far

from a. thousand dollars.





It was necessary to use a field ad-

jacent to the wheat field for the oat

variety tests this year. Several farm-

ers furnished samples of their seed

oats, and these are being grown in

drill-width strips along side of each

other. Wolverine and Worthy oats are

included in these tests.



On July 18 a field meeting was held

at the oat variety test plots. About

thirty farmers came in to see how the

different varieties were looking and

hear a discussion of the work. The

picture shows Rev. Van Schoik in the

oat test plot.

Rejuvenating a Farm Home





By Rearrangmg and Adz/mg Conwmmcey, T fits Famz/y war Made Happier





E had always lived in a city



where m o d e r n conveniences



were part of our daily lives,

and, when we moved to the farm in

Van Buren County to live in the small

house bereft of all city conveniences,

it seemed a hardship.



The original house was typical of

so many farm houses along our



- country roads as the plan shows. The

living room and kitchen both faced

east toward the road, while north was

a wonderful view of a river with over‘

shadowing trees. In order to give as

many rooms, as possible this river

view, we decided to turn the house

half way around, but, before doing

this, we excavated a basement for

part of the house and built masonry

walls for our new additions. The

, house was then- moved to set on the

new walls, which was easier than if

we ,had excavated under the house

after it had been moved, as in the

‘ latter case all digging would have had

to be done by hand. *



The old living room was used for a

dining _room and the other two rooms

turned into one hall with a. stairway

leading up. In this new stair hall a

huge fireplace was built with a chim-

ney which. also served to. house a

flue for the furnace in the ‘basement.

The open‘ fire helped .to warm both



floors on chilly mornings and eve-



and gave a cheery place for





ByEHA





With the exception of changing one

window into a door and raising an-

other window so that the sill was

above the sink, the walls of the old

kitchen remained unaltered. How-

ever, the placing of furniture was

changed in order not to waste many

steps in the preparation of the meals,

and a breakfast nook and several





Martini





cabinets were built in. The old stair-

way from the kitchen to second floor

was changed into a basement stair-

way, easily reached from the rest of

the house; the door left unchanged.

The new excavation was made under

dining room and hall only, and in

order to keep the plumbing pipes as

near together as possible and to





 





 





avoid any damage from frost, the new

bathloom took up one corner of the

kitchen porch. The fixtures were set

against the dining room wall and the

kitchen sink placed on the wall as

near as possible to the bathroom. By

this arrangement, only very short

plumbing pipes were required. While

it would have been more convenient

for the upstairs bedrooms to place

bathroom on second floor, there was

more room on the first; it required

less plumbing and was more nearer to

the first floor owner’s bedroom. The

sink with drain boards on each side

had windows above which gave an en-

joyable view while working, and fur-

nished plenty of light.





A laundry and summer kitchen was

combined at the other end 01" the

porch. There were solid frame walls

three feet high, and, above that,

screens in summer and storm sash in

winter. As water to the tubs could

be shut off in extreme cold weather,

we avoided any freezing of water.

Here also was a place where the men

coming in from work could wash be-

fore going into the house. This porch

being on the north never became

warm and provided a fine place for a

refrigerator in summer, and in winter

was cold enough for storing food with-

out the use of ice. ‘





The new additions included enlarge

CURRENT COMMENT





‘





.. HERE are few



The Test things in this

world that go as far



' ofSports- in developing good

manship sportsmen as do our





county fairs. It is here

that our young live stock men get

their first lessons in showing live

stock, and naturally they have much

to learn.

\ It takes a great deal of grit and

determination and nerve and clever-

ness and hard work to take live stock

to the fairs and prepare them to win

the “blue” in competition. There is

but one “blue” in each class and after

fighting hard for it, it is not easy to

let the other fellow take it. Here is

the test of a good sportsman:—to

work and strive and fight for the

priZe, and then, if he must, accept the

red or the 'White or the green in the

same spirit as the blue.





It takes courage and patience, a

strong spirit of fairness to be a good

.loser. The act of doing one’s best at

these fairs is where the benefit comes

in, and then to take defeat gracefully

for ourselves and our choice animals

is the test of the real sportsman.





HIS state has a





.Potato potato grading law

c d . with fangs. It was



rs! e} "I passed by the 1925

MIC/"gal! legislature, largely as





the result of the im-

provement in the sale of spuds from

Michigan following the adoption of

federal grades in 1923. It went into

effect on August 27th.





It is to be expected that some may

find it inconvenient to comply with

the provisions of this law, the text of

-§ which is published by the State De-



partment of Agriculture in Circular

No. 118. This small class may find it

inconvenient because they have not

formed the habit of grading their po—

tatoes. Others, there will be, who will

“buck” the law on general principles.

But, the fact that the provisions of

this measure are not optional [but

mandatory, with fines and imprison-

ment for violation, gives hope that a

'high percentage of those whose busi-

ness it is to put up spuds will make

. a sincere effort to grade and mark

E, the potatoes as the law requires.

It is reasonable to believe that it

Twill not pay to oppose the state in-

???spectors who now seem determined

to See that the statute is enforced.

noble phases of life, the performance,"





of charity and the uplifting of man-

kind. In other words, can there be

found in the anxiety of the present

day some species of compensation

to offset the foul crimes reported in

our daily press? -





It would be a sincere pleasure to

see some old—time optimist rise to the

point of order and bring to our at-

tention a few commendable things for

which these years may be credited.





IVE STOCK and





Live Stock permanent agri-

. culture have long gone



and Ag"' hand in hand. It .is

culture a principle as old as





agriculture itself that

the land needs live stock as truly as

live stock needs the land. Neither

would one long continue to return a.

profit without the other. As a rule,

the more live stock a farm maintains,

the higher the state of fertility.





It is not advisable, however, to

overdue the thing. The soil fertility

problem is not the only problem the

farmer has to face. There is the

question of economics always await-

ing him. These late years, especially,

must he ask himself, “Does it pay?”



It is quite possible to carry the live

stock idea too far, to become‘ over‘

stocked and, because of sanitation,

housing facilities, market conditions,

etc, to waste one’s profits through

over-production. Prof. ,_ Warren, of

Cornell University, who has given a

life long study to the problems of

farm management, says it is safer and

usually pays better for the average

farmer to keep no more stock than

he has feed for, it being advisable in

most cases to have a little feed to

sell rather than to have to buy it.





To be a successful farmer, one must

make a comfortable living from the

land and leave it more productive

than he found it. No method has so

far been discovered that can bring

about this result so simply and so

satisfactorily as a well-balanced sys-

tem of live stock farming, and the

satisfaction and profits derived there-

from will depend in no small degree

upon the quality of the live stock.

The 1y, wonder how it

H d is that some fellows

ar just seem to make

Worker good even though they





are not credited with



having any brains. Others, who meet

up with all the standard qualifications

for success gapingly stand by while

these apparent mis-fits turn the trick.‘

How do they do it? It would be

impossible to tell how they all do it.

If one were appraised of all the turns

in the ma 0 success, then the ease

with which that road could be traveled

IC'HIGAN“has





“’1'“!me several hundred

nd farmer owned and, 01‘)-



- a . crated' institutions for

Efficiency the /transaction"‘~ of





farmer business. The

majority of these are cooperative. A

few of them appear to be suffering

from the lack of proper management;

perhaps a big majority could render

a larger service if the men in charge

were better trained. ‘



Training men to better appreciate

the opportunities and responsibilities

of farmer cooperatives was the broad

purpose of the American Institute of

Cooperation held at‘the University of

Pennsylvania recently. Cooperatives

from thirty-three states, four Cana-

dian provinces, Denmark, Japan and

Russia were represented. Here was

an effort to bring together the prac-

tical and the theoretical minds. It is

plain that both types had their former

ideas modified. But, no doubt, the

majority left for home with a new

enthusiasm and a consciousness of a

wide field of service that can be effi-

ciently rendered through united pur-

pose. ~

Perhaps, however, the great mass

of training for the managerial posi-

tions in cooperatives in the future will

be done in our agricultural colleges?

This evolution to the c'ollege trained

man has occurred in practically every

other professional line. It will come

here; but it is a safe bet that a long

time will elapse before the college

gets the support of that large class

of managers whom nature provided

with qualities that readily fitted them

for the successful direction of oc-

operative associations.





EOPLE complain of



being over-worked

———mentally as well as

physically. Some have

what is termed a nerv-

ous breakdown, sup-

posed to result from too strenuous

mental effort. Others are tagged, so

they say, from too much hard labor.

The fact is, that it is rare, very rare,

indeed, that anyone is injured from

over-work, either mental or physical,

and especially mental.



The injury comes from worry. Like

a thief, worry steals in and saps one’s

vitality. But why allow worry to ruin

health and to destroy peace and hap~‘

piness? ~



Usually one worries about things he

cannot help. Many farmers are al-

ways worrying about the weather, yet

they cannot change it in the least.

It is too dry or too wet for best re-

sults. Storms may ruin crops and

buildings and destroy live stock, yet

it is known from the beginning that

such things may‘happen. ..



One should use his best judgment

and energy to prevent loss from na-

tural causes,- but when they do come

there is no help. If the hay or'ithe,

wheat gets wet, why should one make

himself ill from worrying over the

matter? It would be better to go fish?

ing and let-it dry. The energy 'thus

conserved would more easily care for,

it when it does” dry, and it will. « ,

which ‘will .59 completed Sept 15’ at





k§fth9 Michigan State college, ten bronze

tablets will be eercte'd honoring the





- most toward the advancement of hor-





‘ ticulture.





The choice of names for the Michi-

gan list of men who are to be honored

_in this way is based upon the replies

received from 75‘ prominent men in





Horticulture who were asked to make

,the selection.~according to Prof. V. R.





.. Gardner, head of the Michigan State





f college department of; horticulture





.On the list are three noted horti-

cultural" men from Grand Rapids, one

from Detroit, Eaton Rapids, drian,

Harbor. The men from Grand Rapids

are Charles W. Garfield, former presi-

dent of' the state horticultural society,

and prominent banker; Robert D. Gra-

ham, experimental station‘near Grand

Rapids, and Eugene Davies, origina-

tor of the Grand Rapids lettuce, and

promotor of trucking interests.



John Breitmeyer,vof Detroit, recog-

nized as the father of the green-

house industry in that part of the

state and leader of horticulture will

also be among those honored at Mich-

igan State college. Mr. Breitmeyer is

the father of a former mayor of De-

troit. ’ ..



Elmer D. Smith, Adrian, recognized

as-the most noted Michigan florist, re-

ceives similar recognition as among

Michigan’s great horticulturalists for

his great work in breeding remarkable

varieties of the much favored chrys-

anthemum. In this work, he has re-

ceived a large national reputation.



T. A. Farrand, Eaton Rapids, was

considered one of the influential men

in Michigan horticulture. He is thusly

of the South Haven experimental sta-

tion, head of the Michigan State col-~

lege extension workfand secretary of

of the Michigan state society of hor-

ticulture.

Judge J. G. Ramsdell, Traverse City, '





is also among those whose work in

horticulture is to 'be honored. Be-

sides being a lawyer and judge, Judge

Ramsdell is credited with establishing





the fruit industry in that section of ‘ L





the state.



,Selection of the ten most foremost

Michigan horticulturalist from the

standpoint cf service to the state was

made from an entirely impartial list

of prominent greenhouse, nursery and

orchard owners in the state.



- The $40,000 horticulture building in

those hails the tablets will be erected

is rapidly nearly completion and will

be ready for occupancy by the begin-

The

building has a frontage of 132 feet, a

depth of 104 feet and a'floor space of

approximately 37,000 square feet.



Besides office and research labora-

tories for the horticultural staff, pro-

Visions are made for classrooms, labor-

atories, for plant propagation, vege-

table gardening, spraying, fruit hand-

ling, and systematic pomology. Con-

nected with the fruit handling labora-

tories is a series of cold storage rooms

that provide facilities for experimental

studies and for the general storage of

fruits and vegetables.



The outside shell of the building is

in harmony in design With the other

new building on the campus, being of

{Gothic construction. Other equip-

ment of the college horticulture de-

partment includes a green house range

covering an area of over 16,000 square

feet where experiments are conducted

with both flower and vegetable crops.

Equipment is also built for soil sterili-

zation, overhead irrigation, and accur-

ate temperature control.



At the college the experimental or-

chards, vineyards and small fruit plan-

tation, include about 35 acres. Vege-

table gardens include about 20 acres.

Approximately 125 acres of land un-

der control of the experimental sta-

tion near Grand Rapids and, South

Haven are planted to fruits and like—

wise furnish, material for the instruc-

tional work of the horticulture depart

ment. These plantings are maintained

mainly by graduate students, who

carry on valuable experiments there.





 





The quality class of producers is not

the lazy class; neither is it the class

with an abundance of time on its

hands, for producing quality goods re.

quires the constant use of brains and

brawn. However, it is the straight

line to that which we all desire—sue

themselves must take a. very active

part.

high-powered, efficiently managed

business associations handling all the

marketing activities of the farmer

might materially increase the agriCul-





might be either of the centralized or

federated type, with or without con-

tract. They might be autocratic 'or

democratic. Only after these are

tested in the economic laboratory of

actual business as the automobile,

typewriter, printing press, milling ma.-

chines and other mechanical devices

are tested in the engineering labora-

_tory and in actual practice, will the

best types be finally selected.





In the field of mechanics the device

which is conceived in the mind 'of the

theorist can be made and tested in a.

laboratory and the theory put to a.

test. The chemist and other scientists

can experiment in the same manner.

On the other hand, quite unfortunate—





ly, economic theories cannot be tested

in this manner. A small model of a.

nation-wide wheat, potato, or fruit c0-





before the plan is put into operation.

The only way to find out if such a.

theory will succeed is to try it out

in actual business. ‘Failure under

such conditions does not necessarily

prove its inadequacy to meet the re-

quirements because the human ele-

ment is such a great factor. Because

it is impossible to test our economic

organizations before putting them, into

actual operation, it is necessary that

economic theories be subjected to the

keenest analysis. Those who are to

be responsible for the success of such

undertakings should be well trained

in the fundamentals of our economic

system and be capable of detecting

unsound theories and also be able to

determine the real causes for success

.or failure.





The accepted method of education

in this age is thru our school system.

Until recent years only the youth was

taught. What was not learned in the

school was to be acquired during later

life in the work-a-day world thru

actual experience. Experience is a

good teacher, but one would hesitate

to learn aeroplane operation by this

method alone without any instruction

at all in aeronautics. Yet men do go

into the business world and experi-

ment with economic machines which

are much more highly complicated

than aeroplane-s.





The cooperative machine is one of

the most intricate of all those of the

economic family. There must be a.

thorough understanding of thei‘funda-

mentals of its operations. Everyone





-Who works with cooperation mud un-





derstand it. The electrical engineer

must know electricity but the user of

it needs to know- only how to turn

the switch‘and it matters not that he

has no cooperation of, or desire to

know, what makes thought or power.

The conveniences which science has

brought to make the path of modern

life more pleasant, are taken as a.

matter of course by the average man.

Colleges are called upon to assist in

giving this understanding. This is

done in the class-room and thru the

extension divisions. It is not pur—

p'osed her‘e tb give an outline of

courses which colleges should offer in

order to turn out skilled cooperators ,/

and cooperative employees. Suffice it

to say that no college is ever gOing

to be'able to 'turn out graduates who

will be fit to step into managerial

positions. However, the college can

give that broad training which will

give the student an understanding of

agricultural problems, enable him to

think clearly on economic questions,

teach him to analyze the problem at

hand, teach him to think, and, what

is not of the least importance, teach

him how to work.





A great mistake is made byvyoting

men in thinking that a college educa-

tion should be sought to place them

in a certain class, make it unneces-

sary for them to work hard, and make

it easy for them to get a good job at

a high salary.‘ If colleges are deserv-

ing of public support they must train

men and women how to do more work,

and instill into them a. willingness and

desire to do all they are capable of.





I know that cooperatives must pay

good salaries to secure high-class

specialists, but if we are not careful

our young men are going to come out

of college with an eye toward the co—

operative field more with the spirit of

individual economic reward than that

of service. We point to Denm k and

Ireland as examples of coop ‘t'

success but on the pages of history

we find no record of legal fees of giant

trust magnitude, nor managers’ ‘sal-

aries which match those of railway

presidents. The man who devoted a.

life of service to the cause of- co-

operation in Ireland, and those who

were the prime movers in Denmark,

were led on not by the lure of salaries

larger than they could have command-

ed in any other field of endeavor.

Colleges must train men not to think

of dollars alone when they think of

cooperation. Enthusiasm for a par-

ticular type of organization and antag-

onism against another must not vary

in proportion to the salary received

if cooperation is to be recorded. on

the pages of history as a significant

American institution.





During recent years. there has been

a demand for practical education.

Practical men have criticised any edus

cational endeavor which was not of

a. technical nature. If the. history of

Danish cooperation tells us anything

it is that true cooperative organiza-

tions can be founded upon an educa-

tional system which aims to make men

rather than specialists; an educa-

tional system in which time is found

for the teaching of the music, art, his-

tory and literature of the country.

Colleges in America can train for co—

operative service by developing char-

acter, minds, men of vision and under

standing, and teach people how to live

in the fullest. manner rather than,

merely equip men to Shaker money. I

do not “believe that a training.which

recognizes the cultural side of life

necessarily renders a citizenship 0:4

nomically useless. , m ‘ ‘ ”i

$50 Cash Saving

This Season tor You





There is a Cash Saving of $50 for you if you

use this book—if you send all your orders to

Ward’s. And we want to tell you here just

how this big saving was made possible for you.





'—Cash buys cheapest. $50,000,000 in

ready cash was used to make possible these

thousands of bargains. Everyone knows that

big orders and spot cash get the lowest prices.

We ,7 buy goods in enormous quantities-—

sometimes even taking the entire output of a

factory—and by paying cash, get lower than

market prices. _

—Merchandise Experts. Our force of buy-

ers is composed of experts—specialists with

long experience and wide knowledge of the

goods they buy. They know manufacturing





 





costs, they know how and when to buy stand-

ard goods at the lowest possible prices.





— Searching the markets of the world.

Months have been spent in searching every

market. Our buyers go to all countries in

their hunt for bargains for you—to find the

biggest bargains the whole world has to offer.





- Ward’s Low Prices

On Stande Goods Only





Our buyers have one rule to follow: “Buy

only the kind of goods our customers want—

the kind that stands inspection and use. Buy

at the lowest prices—but never sacrifice qual-

ity "in order to make a low price.”



We never offer “price baits” on cheap, un-

satisfactory merchandise—we never offer

cheap, unworthy merchandise in our Cata-

logue to make our prices seem low.





Everything for the Farm,

the Home and the Family





Almost everything you or your family needs

to buy—everything to wear, everything for

the home is shown in this new Catalogue at

Money Saving prices. .



A saving of $50 may just as well be yours if

you write for this book—and send all your.

In case your self-seeding is made

early enough that the plants will

start growth late 'this' summer, you

should have an abundance of pasture

next season. ~ . . -



However, seed that is shattered di-

rectly from the plants to the ground

are not scarified and frequently do

not germinate to any extent until

they pass through the freezing and

thawing weather of‘ the winter. So

unless conditions are quite favorable

it is not likely that the seeding will

produce very heavily of pasture next

season—C. R. Megee. ”

This practice is said to have somé de-

for most apple districts in the state.



In the Station experiments an aver-

compared with 116.8 barrels per acre

from a cultivated orchard during the

The beneficial effects of cultivation

A DISEASE which sometimes affects



the leaf is Orange Bust. It is

caused by one of the true rusts and is

perennial in affected plants. This 13-8.

very serious disease of blackberries

and raspberries and affected plants are

not only worthless but a menace to

the rest of the patch. The orange

powder which covers the under sides

of the leaflets is the infectious mater-

ial and consists of thousands of min-

ute spores.





There is nothing to do but to dig

up the affected bushes and burn

them. This should be done when the





 





disease is discovered.





The same disease is common each

year on wild plants so growers will

do well to destroy all wild diseased

plants near their plantings.

MARKETING CAULIFLOWER ,





 





Please tell me ‘how I can market

y cauliflower and White Portugal

Onions—J. C.





In shipping either cauliflower or

White Portugal onions to a distant

market, it is well to remember that

the expense for handling them is

somewhat large, and the cost of Send-

ing small shipments by express Would

out very seriously into the profits.



I find that the centers of which

cauliflower can be grown successfully,

notably the Erie County, New York,

section and Allegan County section of

Michigan are producing cauliflower in

such quantities as to allow for carioad

shipments to market and in some

cases co—operating marketing which

much lessens the expense and in-

creases the profits.





There is considerable fluctuation in

prices from year to year, and some-

times the price becomes so low as to

prevent a profit even to the growers

who live in close reach of a large

central market.



It would seem to me that the best

plan for a...grower in Kalkaska County

would be to get in touch with one’of

the large pickle concerns doing busi~

ness in Michigan ,as both cauliflower

and. White Portugal onions are much

used by pickle manufacturers. It is





Iquite possible that there may be a

THE NIGHTSTADE PLANT





 





THE Black Nightshade, Solanum

nigrum, is sometimes spoken of as

deadly nightshade because of the

poisonous principles found within the

green portions of the plant. The

green berries are 11130 poisonous al-

though the berries when‘ perfectly

ripe are entirely wholesome and are

often used for pics, preserves, etc.

Cultivated forms or near relatives of

this plant are grown under the names

of Garden Huckleberry and Wonder-

bcrry. These two are poisonous as

far as foliage and green berries are

concerned, although it is perfectly

safe to use the ripe berries.

Some years ago near Jac son in

this state several members if a.

family were poisoned by eating the





green berries of one of these culti<

vated varieties.





Occasionally in a field of peas the





berries of this weed may be harvested

along with

- fOOIish to 'have planted such a thing

“in this field. 4*

But Dunk finally tiredflof, this un-

productive piece of land On his farm.

,He had heard of ditch drainage and

dynamiting, but had not seen any of

it. So, two years ago, he consulted



‘ the county agent, C.‘ L. Bolander, and

together they worked out a plan for:

draining this marsh.

Dunk invested in about a ton of

dynamite and with Bolander and other

experts on the job, holes- were made

and a stick of the giant powder drop-

ped into each. The idea was to

straighten the creek and put the same

amount of fall onto 500 feet that had

formerly been in nearly 1,500 feet of





the stream bed. So, starting in at a A





point where the creek entered this

field, and drilling a straight line of

holes to a point where it left the field,

the row of explosive was laid.





"When everything was ready, the en-

tire charge was detonated and so care-

fully had the work been done that,

when the blast was set off, the entire

ditch was blown on an instant, the

earth being thrown on each side of the

new channel, which .formed a new and

straight bed for the stream.





It was the work of but a day or two

to dig little ‘lateral drainage ditches

to the new and straightened creek bed,

and then the job was complete.





‘Now this same twenty-acre field,

which had never been worth the taxes

in all its history, is producing a splen-

dod crop of corn every year and is

paying all expenses and returning a

profit besides. About half of the-dy-

namite was used. on the job and the

rest of it was returned to the dealer.

.The creek, instead of wandering all

over the farm as it had been in the

habit of doing, now runs down a

straight line just like any decent and

well-behaved little creek should, and

the corn tassels are waving over land

which supported nothing but snake-

grass and cat-tails for years and years.

HE apple situation indicates a



prospective eastern crop a million

barrels below last season, but having

a larger proportion of winter varieties

and averaging better market quality ‘

in "such leading states as New.York,

Michigan and Virginia. In the boxed

apple region there is a market crop

equal to that in the east, excellent in

size and appearance of the fruit, but

handicapped by long distance and high

freight rates. Eastern Canada expects

a good apple crop. Europe seems to

be nearer supplying its own apple mar-

kets than for the past two seasons. A

good crop of grapes equal to or better

than last year is promised.

some travelerwould report that it

Misery always did like company.

how, after thinking it over I felt a

good deal like an ox being led to the

shambles. Having some company in

went, but I figured out that even if

the whole state was dry, it wouldn’t

help much. This is a big country and

of rain and would probably have big

crops, didn’t seem to make me feel

any better. True I read that the

Western wheat crop was short and

that cattle were being dumped on the

market because of short pastures and

all that, but I kept right on being

sorry for myself and envying the other

fellow just the same.



Along about the middle of June,

‘though, I began to see the thing in a

:little different light. I have a neigh-

bor whose wife’s father was in the

Army of the Cumberland during the

Civil War. He was always talking

about Tennessee, and wanted to get

back there, but never did. It kept

him busy here raising a big family.

But these neighbors ‘were always

talking about it and I’d never been

South so I proposed that we all go.

They agreed and we started out. We

sure had a grand trip, but that’s an-

other story. The thing that made me

feel best about it was that the farther

south We \went the dryer it seemed

o be. Human nature is funny that

way. I wasn’t half as depressed- at

the sight of the dried-up pastures in

the blue grass country, or the be—

lated planting of tobacco and cotton,

or the evident weather handicaps of

the mountain farmers further south as

I had been over the same Situation

back home.



But it set me to thinking that if I

had known that the farmers in other

parts of the country were in the same

fix, I wouldn’t have felt nearly as bad.

I’d been reading the local weather re«

ports every day with increasing dis-

gust. When I got home I found that

I might have kept track of the

weather over most of the country just

as easily. For the first time I was

interested in the general weather re-

port which we had been getting over

the radio right along. If I had paid

more attention to it earlier I might

have ‘saved myself a lot of worry.



Speaking of worry I am reminded of

what an old friend once told me about

worrying: “There are two “kinds of

{things it don’t pay‘ to, worry about,”

then we’ve had a “soaker”—enough to



carry the late crops through the "set-



ting” period, and the alfalfa is now



making a fine' second growth.



I guess we are going to have a

pretty fair year after all. I’ve had a

chance to see what a flood does, too,

in one locality where they had a regu«

lar f‘cloud burst.” I concluded it was

a good deal worse than a drouth. Now

when I hear them singing that fool

which didn’t turn out to be so bad

TESTERS GET TOGETH ER





 





IXTY-EIGHT cow testers of lower



Michigan took two days of their

own time and at their own expense

and came to Michigan State College

July 30 and 31. A program of edu-

cational value had been arranged for

them by the Dairy Department, M.S.C.

/ The morning of July 30 was devoted

to poultry. Professors C. G. ‘Card and

C. M. Ferguson of the Poultry Depart-

ment made talks on feeding, housing.

and culling of the flocks. Practical

demonstrations in culling werexcon-

ducted“ and the testers themselves

given pens of birds to cull.



After dinner the testers were in

charge of Professor J. E. Burnett, of

the Dairy Department of the College.

Professor Burnett pointed out the

main points in judging dairy cows.

Excellent “pointers” on sizing up a.

cow were made in his cow judging

demonstration.





Professor Carl Hufman next gave

an excellent talk on mineral feeding.

.Cows that are heavy products need

rations that are also balanced from a.

mineral standpoint. Professor Huf—

man hit the so-called “shut gun”

mineral preparations. Calcium and

phosphorus are most deficient in most

rations. Hufman also pointed out the

value of well cured legume hay. "



Brief talks were made by Professor

0. E. Reed, chief of the Dairy De-

partment, followed by J. B. Porker

of the Dairy Division of" U. S. D. A.,

Washington, D. C., and A. C. Baltzer,

Extension Specialist in Dairying.



On Friday the cow testers were

greeted by Professor J. F. Cox," chief

of the Farm Crops Department.‘ In

spection of the alfalfa plots and bean

and beet plots was made under direc-

tion of Professor C. R. Megee and

H. R. Pettigrove of the Crops Depart-

ment. The wet weather of Farmers’

Day did not dampen the interest and

enthusiasm of the testers.



Officers of the Michigan Associa-

tion of Cos? Testers were elected as

follows: H. Kordel, President; Leslie

Wilcox, Vice-President; Eldon Bor-

clay, Secretary, Albert Greiner and

Keats Orr, Directors.



The next meeting will





be held dur-

ing Farmers’ Week, 1926. '





 





A survey of intentions to sow wheat

and rye this fall in the principal pro—

duction states indicates an increase of

9.7 per-cent of wheat and 21 per cent

of rye than a year ago. Since in-

tentions are usually overexpre‘ssed

the dewation from normal is not likely: .

to equal these figures. *v' - ‘

Reforestation is a different propo-

sition. Where trees have once grown,

the-y. can presumably grow again, if

the old conditions can be restored, and

trees , have grown on the Seney

Swamp. There is much sandy and

peat lands our. the swamp and, this

with the moisture, raises special

problems of reforestation. Just what

the experts can do with the area it

would be premature to say.





While in the district Dr. Zon also

examined into the question of prevent-

ing fires in the swamp. These fires

started perhaps by locomotives on the

railroad passing through the sWamp,

get into the peaty formations, in time

of drought, and do much damage and

are verylhard to control. Dr. Zon is

reported to have suggested that plant-

ing Russian polar along the right-of-

way might help to shield the lands

against sparks. This is said to have

been tried elsewhere with good re-

sults. The trees raise a leafy wall be-

tween the track and the land adja-

cent to the railroad. The sparks do

not penetrate this wall readily.





 





It is probable that we shall

be able in no distant future to

make a definite‘announcement regard-

ing the location of the Lake "States

in the process of adoption.





 





Ewen held andther of its successful

novel undertaking. Farmers from all

Ewen—livestock, vegetables, forage—-

anything salable—and there is a gen-

eral sale and purchase all around, and

incidentally outside buyers drop in to

see what they‘ can profitably pick up.

There will be another such “field-day”

on October 15.

NOVEL METHOD OF CHURCH

ElNANCE





(Continued from page 177)



In his work in Ohio, Rev. Van Schoik

had tenth-acre plots. 7 If these were

threshed through an ordinary grain

’thresher, the amount of grain secured

often was not the amount grown on

the plot, because a lot of the grain

would still be in the thresher, making

gthe yield of this plot smaller, and it

was a difficult matter to clean the ma~

chine so that the grain left might not

come down with the next plot thresh-

_ ed, and make its yield too high.



To overcome this obstacle, Rev. Van

Schoick built a thresher which he can

easily clean, yet it does good work.

This machine he has brought up to

Holloway, and it will be used to thresh

r .. the-starting whistle, followed

tithe muffled chuff—chuff—chuff of the

exhaust, Increasing rapidly as the

heavy train gathered” headway, and

presently the big red eye of the en-

._ ‘gine came into view and a long,

. steady roar began to travel back from

the rocky face of Soledad Butte, loom-

inginto the night behind the camp.

Thenai'r quivered as the whistle sound-

ed» for the ore switch and the train

rounded the low dike at the foot of

Bowers Hill and straightened away

for the long run to the south, a won-

derful animated creature, all flaming

with bright windows and beating the

gen roadway with flying wheels. And

en—



We two old prospectors saw it hap-

pen. One instant the limited was a

living thing, irresistable as a desert

wind; the next instant it was piled

up at the end of the ore switch in a

tangle of flat cars, and there was a





 





horrid silence through which the echo





of the awful crash hit the breast of old

Soledad and rolled back like a slow

rumble of infernal thunder.



. We began arriving before the dust

had settled. When we had done all

that mere human beings could do, we

stumbled over the body of a man with

a baby girl in his arms. God knows

how he came there—hurled through

a Window, perhaps~but anyway there

he was. The glare from the fire il-

luminated his face, and we saw that



‘ he had but a little time to live.



Aunt Malindy Crow, who kept the

Palace Hotel those days, knelt in the

sand beside him and took the baby

in her arms. The dying man opened

his eyes. '



“Keep her!” he gasped as Aunt

Malindy cried over the little girl.

“Name’s Mary Annersley. No near





relatives. Papers—my pocket—~tell

all about—”

So Aunt Malindy Crow adopted





Mary Annersley, calling in old Judge

Navlett to draw up the papers, and

.the whole camp helped. To make

the adoption all regular, we advertised

it in the county paper and sent copies

to one Gerald M. Caswell, whose name

appeared in the dead man’s papers as

a half brother or cousin or something

about as unimportant. We know he

got the news, for we sent it by regis-

tered letter, and the return receipt

bore his signature. But we didn't get

anything more from him——nothing but

his name at the bottom of the. receipt.

So we proceeded to forget him.



Somebody nicknamed her the “Little

Injun," and the name stuck, though

she looked less like an Indian than

anybody could imagine. But the way

she crept into the hearts of those

rough miners was nothing less than

marvelous. Personally, I know one

old desert rat with a hard lace and

a soft heart who would have given his

life for her any day-me, old Dad

Tolliver.



After a few months the Little In-

jun’s idolaters decided that she ought

to have property. Of course all of us

were willing to fix things so that she



ould inherit from us at our death;



ut, as Long Bill Holliday pointed out,

none of us had anything—probably

never would have anything, judging

by past performances. Of course there





were a few gold pieces to be found





.. ~- - . V. ,_ : ,

if we dug deep enough intothe dark





cornersof. our pockets; but gold coins-





are floating things ,— mighty fleeting,

especially in‘ a mining camp, where

exist so many devices designed to ac-

centuate. the fleeting qualities. Be-

sides, as Long Bill went .on toeluci—

date, most of us were so healthy that

we probably Would live forever:





It was a. hot ‘debate, held in the





back room of Johnny Eisinger’s sa-

lon. Consensus of opinion seemed

fi ally to be that the Little Injun

should have a claim staked for her.~

Then arose the problem of finding a

claim wor’th staking. Of course there

was plenty of ground lying vacant,

but the very fact that it was vacant

showed that nobody thought it worth

taking.

thinking. Tom Brawley, old one—eyed

Coeu d’ Alene Tom, was looking out

of the window into the street, a sin-

ister frown of concentration upon his

forbidding face. Presently I saw his

one eye soften and a tender look come

upon his lips. Following his gaze I

saw the Little Injun and little Jimmie

Brawley, sturdy legs bare, playing to-

gether in the sand. Beyond them Sam

Runkle sat upon the hitching rack in

front of the Palace Hotel, whittling

listlessly.



Sam Runkle. An idea began form-

ing in my brain, an idea as elusive as

the wriggling heat blink that quivered

across the wide breast of the desert.

Then it all came to me, full of promise.

The Red Hill Wedge!



Now I will explain that the Red Hill

Wedge was a triangular bit of ground

lying—in the very center of the district,

adjoining the Shamrock and the Wee

Colleen. Mike Crow, who was not

French, had [located the claims with

the Celtic names and for some reason

his line-s had been run so as to leave

out the Wedge. Then Mike indis-

creetly tried to dig out a dead shot

in a hurry one day, which was bad

fOrm; for his pick tapped the hidden

detonator and Mike left the camp for-

ever, leaving his two claims to Aunt

Malindy; and though her heart was

soft the good woman’s Irish pluck

abode there and she started the Palace

Hotel and kept the Shamrock and the

\Vee Colleen alive from year to year.



But not even Aunt Malindy knew

of the Wedge. She thought, as did

everyone else, that the ground was

part of the other claims, until Sam

Runkle dropped off the brake beam

one spring morning and after nosing

around for a few days discovered that

the Wedge was open ground. So he

located it, and the whole district near-

ly wept with chagrin. Then a red-





of future bacon and beans lay upon

the table in the shape of two little

piles. of gold and silver. '



Br1efly, then, I put the matter before

the belligerents, using the best argu-

ments I could'think of, while Runkle

and the red—nosed man listened sul-

lenly and exchanged truculent glances.



“It’s not enough,” growled Runkle.

“And besides it ought to be all mine.

He”—-with a gesture toward the red-

nosed man—“he hasn’t any right to

appear in it at all. He’s a thief!” ‘



The red—nosed man started to say

something very interesting and provo-

cative, but old Coeur d’ Alene Tom

Brawley sprang to his feet and inter-

rhpted menacingly.



“Plenty!” rasped old Coeur d’Alene,

his voice strident and grating. “That’s

plenty! we didn’t come here to listen

to you old tomcats spit and squall at

one another. Now this is the situa-

tion: Neither of you have done a tap

of work on the Red Hill for a year.

So, as a matter of fact, the Red Hill

is open to location right now, though

nobody 'here wants to be classed as a.

claim jumper. But one of these days

a real gun fighter is going to happen

along and jump the Red Hill and run

you both out of camp.”



He reached over and swept the gold

and silver into a single pile. Catch-

ing up a dicebox, he slammed it down

beside the money. “Now!” he barked.

“Play for it! Make it a sporting

proposition. Winner take all. Win~

ner and loser to sign a quit-claim deed

to the Red Hill. It’s your chance to

clean up on the claim—and you both

know in your mangy hearts you’ll

never get another. Play!” _



For nearly a minute there was dead

silence in the room, then the red-

nosed man grinned feebly. .

becoming almost unbearable. He

took up the box and'threw aces. "Sign

fingers and thepile of coin. Runkle

signed, seized the'money with a tremb-

ling . hand. and departed running for

the station.





at the circle of threatening faces he

signed and faded forever from our

story. ,_ ‘



Judge Navlett drew up a paper

which read: .



“Whereas, One . MarL Annersley

Crow, bein% a minor and helpless

resident of opper Sky, and



“Whereas, It is incumbent upon the

said Copper Sky to uphold its dignity

by maintaining ‘itsadopted daughter

in'a creditable manner, therefore, be





it , 7,



“RESOLVED: That we, the under-

signed, hereby agree to pay yearly

the sums set opposite our names for

the development of theRed Hill min-

ing claim until such time as the said

Red Hill shall have become a paying

mine."



I signed and nineteen others. Aunt

Malindy Crow was ap ointed to re-

ceive remittances and ee that they

were applied to the best advantage.

It was agreed that we should all keep

her posted as to our exact where—

abouts should any of us chance to

leave Copper Sky. Judge Navlett did

not sign, for the future looked scanty

for a lawyer, and his salary as justice

of the peace scarcely sufficed to keep

the old man’s mulligan pot filled from

day to day. But we invested him

with the title of Legal Adviser; and

that night all the papers 'in the case

were safely locked in his battered old

safe.



Not long after the purchase of the

Red Hill the hard times came along

and a numbness began to settle over

’the Copper Sky district, the dis-

couraged dullness that often comes to

a mining camp at a certain stage of its

career. Several of the Twenty drifted

down into the valleys in search of

work which would enable them to keep

up the yearly assessments on their

own claims as well as their pledged

dues in the matter of the Red Hill.

Still others merely scattered to the

four corners of the earth. ‘



As the years went by it became

harder to meet the strain. One by one

the claims lapsed as the absent own-

ers failed to meet the legal require-

ments of a prescribed amount of

yearly development. As fast as they

lapsed strangers relocated them. But

always the pledged sums came to

Aunt Malindy Crow, and always the

Red Hill’s assessments were promptly

met.‘



Once in a while, as time went on, a

member of the Twenty would fail to

send his yearly dues. Sometimes we

would be advised of’ his death, but In

one or two instances there was no

word. But we knew these were dead.

Old Sam Yaples missed once, and we

mourned him too. But in a few days

his contribution came along, together

with a half incoherent letter of ex-

planation.





Long Bill and I were the Last. to

leave Copper Sky. There came a time

when we ,too, bowed to the general

discouragement and decided to leave

the camp for a while and come back

later with means to carry on the de-

velopment of the Gray Eagle.



Reluctantly we turned our steps to«

ward the north, settling finally away

went. by; . ,r . _



Regularly every month through the

years we were. away e Little Injun

wrote to us all. At fl st the letters

were the sprawling efforts of a trug-

gling little hand. Then the align-

ment. of the characters began'to im-

prove and the drunken capitals began

to straighten up and look more re-

’spectable. ,We noted from time to

time how the spelling impr0ved and.

the sentences gradually arranged

themselves with more propriety, ‘and

we seemed «to be-able to see in the

changing composition the development

ofthe little girl herself. Always there

was much about her school, and here

and there a mention of Jimmie Braw-

ley—seldom a‘letter that didn’t some-

Where speak of Jimmie Brawley. But

the thing most frequent in her com-

munications was: “I am loving you

still. When are you coming home?”



And here I end my description of the,

lean years.



It Was a Sunday morning and out

Hardly had we come in sight of the





stantial addition was being made to it

when a girl. bounded from the old ver-.

ends. and came flying down the street

to' meet us. “Of course we knew .the

Little Injunxmust be grown up, but

nevertheless we were not prepared to

find her anything but the little girl

we had known in e old years.



"It's all true! ” she cried when she

was within shouting distance. “Uncle

Billy—Uncle Dad, it’s all true!” She

sprang in our hungry old arms and

then danced back between us, her

hands in our gnarled ones,

laughing and crying all in the same

breath, exactly the same Little Injun

grown taller.





“The Red Hill Twenty are all on'





the Way!” she said, the “words tumb-

ling over one another. “That is, all

that are left. We’ve had word from

every one of them. They’ll all be

here inside of two weeks with the ex-

ception of Uncle Sim Yaples. He—

look! There’s Aunt Malindy in the

door.

would come on this train sure, and

Aunt Malindy took my word for .it;

and so there’s a tremendous dinner

waiting for you right this minute!

Wasn’t it wonderful of me to know

you were coming?”



Early the next day Long Bill and I





'dymg' .





I told her some of the boys -





under the big fir tree before the cabin went to work in the Red Hill shaft.





Long ‘B111 and I sat looking across It did not take long to see that here

Trinity (Ia-11.011 t0 the Vast forests was the promise of a great mine, in-

which rose in an unbroken sweep of deed. Hanging wall and foot W311

mighty tree tODS t0 the very summit were hard and smooth as the walls





of South Fork Mountain. A hundred

yards down the trail we heard the

noise of a horse’s hoofs scrambling up

among the rocks. Our dreams ended

with a jerk. - _



A louder scramble of hoofs, and then

Jack Lee, forest ranger, splashed

through the creek and came riding





p to us.



“Got a letter for you,” he said. “No,

I can’t stop. I want to make Wdtson’s

place on Pony Buck Mountain yet to-

night and it will keep me drifting if

I beat the dark. I don’t want to camp

along- the trail, for I haven’t any

blankets with me.”



We opened our letter. It was from

the Little Injun, and we .noted the

date line that it was nearly a month

old. Among other things, the Little

Injun mentioned that Aunt Malindy

had once more managed to get her

assessments on the Shamrock and the

Wee Colleen, so that the two claims

were now safe for another year. And

she and Jimmie Brawley had'gone up

to see the Red Hill. Jimmie Brawley

had thought it showed great promise.

There had been a dance at the Palace

Hotel and she and Jimmie Brawley

had led the grand march. There was

much love inclosed and many words

of good cheer. Then in a postscript—

always the most significant part of a

girl's letter—she explained that Jim-

mie Brawley had been graduated from

a school of mines in Colorado and

was going to settle permanently. in

Copper Sky, so as to be on hand when

the camp began to come into its own.



“There’s a lot about Jimmie,” sug—

gested Long Bill. .



“Yes,” I said; “there’s a lot about

Jimmie.”



Then We dreamed again, and our_

dreams were of the Little Injun.



Suddenly with another rattling of

loose stones up the trail the ranger

came tearing back, hot and disgusted.

_ “I forgot that I had a telegram for

you,” he said. “It came by way of

Red Bluff and was relayed in to

Scott’s Station by forest telephone.

Here—take it.” Then the brush swal—

lowed him for good and/we turned our

attention to the telegram.



“I wonder what’s in it,” said Long

Bill, turning the formidable envelope

in his hand.



“Let’s open it and find out,” I sug—

gested. _



Long Bill tore it open and sat star-

ing at the contents paralyzed. I looked

over his shoulder and read:



“Great strike on the Red Hill. Come,

home quick. ‘



MALINDA CROWE.



Ah, but it is good to feel the dying,

hope quicken to new life in your

weary old heart! The little ‘creek

lifted its voice, and now it was sing-

ing songs of triumph. We were going

home. ’



Straight across the mountains we

laid our course. A hundred miles over.

we made RedBlqu, still going strong.

Here we took the first train south;

.’so much money,





 





of a. concrete cellar, and the gouge

was thick where the ore broke away.

There could be no doubt that it was

a true fissure.



And then the old boys began to

come in. Some arrived in box cars

and some on the roads, but most of

them came on foot driving jaded jack-

asses and needing a shave most hor-

ribly. Yet no matter how disreput-

able and dirty, the Little Injun always

met them with a glad welcome ,and

proceeded to comfort them as though

they had been irresponsible small boys

who had come home bruised and

broken with long years of misfortune.

Which indeed was true. .



Sim Yaplés rolled in 'last, and, dear

Heaven, but he was a sight! How-

ever, a. bath did wonders for the old

reprobate, a bath supplemented with

a new blue jumper and overalls, and

next day he was deep in the Red Hill

shaft. swinging the old single jack

and lifting up his cracked voice in an

ancient ribald song as he slammed

at the ringing drill.



The Red Hill mine now began to

jump. The ore grew rebellious as we

went down, but as it grew rebellious

it grew richer. Frequently we made

shipments to the smelter. and thus

the ore taken out in development more

than paid the expenses of the mine.



The butte was roaring with powder

shots. Tenderfeet were arriving in

shoals, and every camp within three

hundred miles contributed its quota

of miners rushing to the new El

Dorado. At last it became too big a

thing for Copper Sky, and its fame

went forth into the World. Men in

silk hats dropped off the train from

day to day and went sweating about

over the rugged butte. When capital

begins to take notice you can be as-

sured that the future looks good in-

deed.



One evening the word went out that

Aunt Malindy wanted to see us.



“It seems to me,” said Aunt Ma—

lindy, when we were all gathered in

her little parlor, “that we have done

about all for the Red Hill that we

can do with our hands. We need

machinery.”



We were silent.

“I forgot to tell you,” said Aunt

Malindy casually, “I sold the Sham-

rock and the Wee Colleen today.”



While we were still speechless at

the news, Aunt Malindy went on to

other substantial payments to be made

every'six months for a term of years.

To us the sums she mentioned seemed

more wealth than could possibly be

in the world.



“I wonder what you w'll do with

Aunt alindy!” I

said after we had congratulated her

upon her great luck.



The excellent woman smiled serene-

ly over the top of her glasses.



. “I was thinking of lending it to the

Red Hill,” she said, “to buy machin-

ery. And while .I was thinking that

ID you ever see a man who seemed to be attempting

_ to carry the whole hay field in one load? All the

way in he would sprinkle a trail of hay, and every few

yards he would dot the ground with a small hay stack.



That is what you call “lazy man’s load.” Every farmer

knows what it costs. The total possible gain isn’t worth





 

 





‘ the risk of spilling the load, or of putting a heavy strain





on wagon or horses.



“Cheap oil” puts a “lazy man’s load” on your Ford

engine. The most you can possibly save, figured on a

price per quart basis, is a few dollars per year, perhaps

$5.00. But price per quart doesn’t begin to measure

the real cost of lubrication.



Price per quart doesn’t include the “lazy man’s load ”

results,—the prematurely-worn pistons and rings, the

burned—out bearings, the quickly-formed carbon, the loss

of power, and the fewer miles per gallon.



The accurate way to figure lubrication costs is price

per mile. On that basis Gargoyle Mobiloil “E” is

the cheapest Ford oil that money can buy. It atom-

izes freely, sprays over every moving surface, and clings

with unusual tenacity. This means the greatest possible

protection against wear and expensive repairs.



An overheated Ford engine is decidedly rare when

Mobiloil “ E ” is used. The amount of carbon that accum-

ulates is surprisingly small. The increased oil mileage is

surprisingly large, so large that this feature alone usually

results in a reduced expenditure for oil itself.



With Mobiloil “E” in your crankcase you can expect

to secure the economy and smooth-running satisfaction

that the Ford Motor Company builds into every car. In

the differential of your Ford you secure the same econ-

omy by using Mobiloil “ CC ” or Mobilubricant, as speci-

fied in the Chart of Recommendations. For your Fordson

Tractor use Gargoyle Mobiloil “BB” in summer and

Gargoyle Mobiloil “A” in winter.

it was not on the Stock Exchange list.

It was the property of Mary Annersley

stocks. We of the Twenty had car-

needed financial support. Aunt Ma:

lindy’s loan had been repaid, and the

Palace Hotel was now a palace indeed}



One day each member of the Twenty

received an engraved card which in-

vited the bearers to a dinner at the

Palace. We wondered at the formality

of the engraved cards, but that eve-

ning we all crawled out of the shaft

and appeared at the dinner, where we

gathered about the table, wretched in

starched shirts and stiff, unaccustomed

collars, but with peace in our souls.

Judge Navlett sat at one end of the

board and Aunt Malindy at the other,

with the Little Injun at her right and

Jimmie Brawley at her left. Aunt

Malindy arose and beamed benevo-

lently upon the assemblage. _



“I have invited you to the dinner,"‘

she said, “in order to announce to you

the engagement of my daughter, Mary,

He crept over to a big rock that

was not far from the path. His little

soft feet made never a sound. He

‘crept clear around the rock until he

found an opening. Then he beckoned

to Bruin and Brownie to follow

quietly. ,1



The opening in the rock was so very

small that the three Woodland Wiand-

It was the sweetest music they had

care much for music, liked it.

“lucky” with their roofs





In every community there are always a few home

owners who seem to be on the sunny side of the road.

Roof tro bles and depreciation always appear to

skip theiiiliouscs and Visit the next door neighbor’s.





Lucky— ?





Far from trusting to luck, the builders of these

homes have trusted to careful selection of building

materials—and now they are reaping the reward.

If you follow their example when you buy’ roofing,

you too, will be “lucky.”





   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





Many a “lucky” home owner has a roof covered

with Beaver Vulcanite. It was selected because it

has demonstrated its value on the roof—because

it will withstand the “6 daring tests” that every

roof must undergo if the home owner is to be con-

sidered lucky.





These tests are described here. Demand that the

roofing you buy will withstand them. Know what

quality roofing means by applying these tests to

Beaver Vulcanite. There is a Beaver Vulcanite Roof-

ing for the home and for every building on the farm.

it came. *





Thus it is with Mrs. Rosabelle Per-

More than





rego, of Calhoun County.

three hundred babies owe their lives





to her and the strange part of the





story is that she has never been





blessed with a child of her very own

although her home has given shelter





to four motherless waifs whom she

has 1eared to maturity.



Mrs. Peirego seems to possess a

heaven-born gift of- inothering. At the

age of thirteen she took full care of





 





Mrs. Perrego and two of the children





she has mothered.





two babies belonging to a neighbor

and from that early beginning her

work has grown simply by word

passed from friend to friend, those

who have had their babies restored

to them by her wise and loving care

and were only too glad to tell of her

skill to other anxious mothers. '





There is nothing of the professional

about Mrs. Perrego’s work nor does

her place savor at all of an institu—

tion. It is just a real home which

cares for sick infants one by one.



The children cared for by Mrs. Per-

rego are never the neglected babies

'of poverty, but rather the over-attend-

ed little ones of the well-todo who

often are the victims of a lovingly

careful but inexperienced mother and

who, having been given the wrong

start in life are fast losing their

slender hold upon it.





The children are received one at a.

time that the Whole of Mrs. Perrego’s

attention may be devoted to them and

immediately upon receiving an infant

into her home she begins to study its

needs and watches closely the results,

varying her methods to suit each in-

dividual case.



, She does not believe in bringing up

childiéen.by schedule but follows na-

ture’s way of alternating food with





_ sleep. She does not attempt to make





her charges fit a set of rules but

rather makes her rules to fit her

charges.



g'From the moment the frail little

form is taken into her motherly arms

the tiny creature seems to-sense her





maternal gift, cuddles contentedly in-





But the

great mother heart knews no limita-

tions and the warmth of its embrace

can love into life, full many a little

soul worn out with battling the ills of

the flesh and just ready to, slip back

that moment the baby commences to

gain and the little flame of life is

fanned into a glow of health in the

wan cheeks. . .



I have seen babies suffering from

malnutrition who have baffled the

skill of experienced physicians and by,

them given up to die. I have seen

them change into sturdy, red-cheeked

youngsters. '



It is noteworthy that of the more

than three hundred children who have

been saved by Mrs. Perrego all are

now living and many are grown with

children of their own.



When asked as to the origin of her

unusual ’methods, Mrs. Perrego replies

that when a child on her father’s

farm she was always interested in the

young animals. She noticed that

they ate a little and slept, then ate

some more and slept, and that the

more puny ate less and oftener‘ than

the robust. This natural method she

adopted and it seems to work per-

fectly.





Baby foods so-called, are taboo. Cow’s

milk is the food used entirely except

occasionally with older infants it is

varied by orange juice or oatmeal

gruel. She keeps her babies under

her watchful eye day and night untik

they are safely started on the road to

health and normal growth-



Mrs. Perrego has been “repairing

babies” as she calls it for the past

thirty-four years and she has scores

of photographs of her little ones sent

by grateful parents. Although still a

young woman, Mrs. Perrego is known

as “Auntie” in her community by

hundreds of people. Hers is a labor

render her fellowmen. Pecuniary re-

wards are of secondary consideration





What will They Wear this Fall?





OMEN are like leaves——the ad-



vent of cooler days of autumn



dresses them in new and dif-

ferent colored frocks.





But unlike Mother Nature, Madame

Fashion must not dress the same

every year. Feminine nature would

revolt at this. There must always be

sonie variation from the previous sea-

son. And this season we find it in

the flare of the silhouette. But this

new fullness is so cleverly placed that

it does not make one look wider or

heavie1. Much of the flare is only

“knee deep” in the form of godets and

flounces but is sometimes carried

higher by circular skirts and draper-

ies. Godets may be applied to a

straight line foundation to give the

effect of fullness and may be of the

body material, crepe, or lace. The

flare at the back 'with a straight front

is deeidedly new and is seen in both

coats and dresses.





'Skirts remain short—nine to four-

teen inches. 11‘ hose match the frock

this shortness is not accentuated.

For the stout women as well as the

slim figure the straight lines are still

favored in the redingotes (long: man-

nish type of coat) and simple frocks

and coats. . The simple sport dress

retains its straight lines and adds

width" to thewskirt by means of an

inverted or “kick" pleat in center

front, sides, or back.





Sleeves are long except in formal

evening dress—when they are a minus





quantity. There is some fullness at

the wrist and the set-in sleeve line

is varied from the usual. Short

sleeves are appropriate for afternoon

wear.



The'neckline varies greatly but on

a whole it is higher especially in the

back. The turtle neck is new in sport

wear. The tie collar is worn a great

deal as are boyish and flat collars.

The round and fateau neck are seen

on afternoon dresses.



The ensemble idea is more favored

than ever in all types of dresses. It

is consideredsmart to have your en-

tire costume of one shade of a color.

But two shades of a color and two

colors will be much worn. The hat

and accessories must be selected to

match the costume, the hat matching

either the dress or coat of the en-

semble. If the costume is all in one

shade of a color it is in style to select

a. hat of contrasting color. But all

hats are small and close fitting with

little or no trimming.



The rainbow colors worn this sum-

mer have vanished with the summer

showers. In their place autumn proms

forth in black, dark blue, all the beige

shades, mauve, heliotrope, olive green,

brown, and dark reds. Wood tan and

brown shades are favored in gloves

and hosiery. ,‘



Albeit, the Autumn winds blow in

Madame .Fashion, garbed in frocks

that allow freedom of movement and

yet are stylishly chic and with a.

flare that still holds to slim lines.

MAKE FRUIT LEATHER FROM

CAST-AWAYS





 





RUIT “leather” is an excellent way



in which to use fruit that is not

yet spoiled but a little over ripe, too

ripe to look well in cans or on the

table. It may be made from berries.

cherries, plums, figs or pears, but

peaches and apricots are probably the

best for “leathers. ”



Mash to a pulp and spread lightly

on oiled paper, drying in the sun,

warming oven or dryer. W’hen dry,

sprinkle well with sugar, roll as you

would a jelly roll and cut in slices.

Sprinkle each slice liberally with

sugar, and pack in a perfectly dry fruit

jar or a tight box lined with waxed

paper.



This “leather" takes the place of

candy in winter, may be used with

nuts or cream cheese as a desert or

soaked out, is excellent for pies or

fruit puddings. —~L M. T.

Keep pure bred birds of one well—

proved to be the most economical pro-

ducers of market eggs, laying the

greatest quantity of excellent quality,

while the feed consumed is utilized to

better advantage than in other types.

There is also greater uniformity in

the shape, size, and color of the eggs,

and a greater demand and selling

birds may be bred and developed for

a given purpose, such as egg produc~

potent, and will product offspring'with

more vigor and vitality and of a. larger

size whem adults. Hens should be

used, not pullets.





Practice line breeding to fix and in‘

tensify the good qualities of the strain

in regard to fecundity. This avoids

the dangers attendant upon out—cross-

ing. The introduction of low fgcun-

dity lines by the use of males of un~

known pedigree is evidently a very

bad mistake. "





Early-producing pullets. By select-7

ing for breeders, hens which were

early producers in their pullet year,

it is possible to intensify this charac-

teristic in the progeny, and not only

is this quality in itself desirable, but

a. heavy yearly production is seldom

attained without it. Early production,

say October of the pullet year, means

an early winter start, which signifies

a good yield for the winter months

and promises for the individual a high

yearly total.





Late moulters. It has been proved

by experiment and observation that

the bird which moults the latest is, in

the majority of the cases, the heaviest

layer; in other words, the hen that

moults in July ‘or August, and gets

her new plumage and makes a fine

appearance earlyfiis not. the one that

is the heavy layer. The one that is

laying eggs until c'ool weather in the

fall is the one that does not molt

until late, but looks shabby and raw

during that time; nevertheless, when

she does start, the molt is usually

rapid and complete, leaving her in

good condition to commence laying

early the coming winter. This exter-

nal feature, the molt, is of practical

value in selecting persistent layers.



Birds With Large Appetites

Consumption of a. large amount of

feed is essential in the case of the heavy

layer, in order to secure the materials

for the egg, and it has been found that

heavy egg production is always ac-

companied by heavy eating. Thebird

with a vigirous appetite should be se-

lected, not the one which is a small

class of domestic or farm animals (not

including honey bees). Much of the

low fertility of hatching eggs,and the

weakness of chicks can be traced in

large measure to the broken-down

constitution of the fowl under exact-

ing requirements. A good hen is ex-

pected, on an average, to lay in one

year, five times her bidy weight in

eggs. This would equal one egg every

three days during the year, and in

order to accomplish this, she must

consume abount 30 times her body

The question is put to me' in all ser-

been asked about open air schools in

rural districts. I~ will agree with her

statement if she says, “They may have

fresh air-all the time.” As a matter

of fact. some country children spend

The great obstacle to open air

percentage of the school population

needing them is not large enough to

warrantthe expense. Yet I do crave

the advantages of the open air schOol

for the country child of sub-standard





' health and I think they may be had





With a little planning. Everyone who

has studied the open air school knows

that “fresh air” is but one of its ad-

vantages. So far as that feature is

concerned the school that is well ven-

tilated and does not raise its tempera-

ture artificially above sixtyceight de-

grees is doing well. The other im-

portant things that make weak chil-

dren do so well in open air schools

are:



1. Rest, lying down, at intervals dur-





ing the day.

.2. Extra nourishment, composed

chiefly of milk. 4::





3. Freedom from all mental comfpe-

tition or strain.



My opinion is that this freedom

from strain is as important as any.

All of these features can be arranged

by a sympathetic, intelligent teacher,

and they‘bare worth while, even though

no more than two or three pupils in

the group need such care. An alcove

or a small class room will do for a

rest room, and failing in any other

arrangement a place screened off from

the one—room school and used at the

noon intermission would help‘. Open

air schools are very helpful to sub-

standard children. lf you cannot have

them in the country try to include

their advantages in the regular school.





HAS RUNNING SORE.





I have an old running sore on my

foot, near the ankle. It heals occa-

sionally but always breaks open again.

While it is healing it itches terribly.

Can anything be applied to stop the

itching? Is there any cure for these

sores? I have had several doctors at—





 





‘tend to mine, but none have been able





to do any good—Michigan Reader.



Such an ulceris always hard to

cure. It is apt to be in some location

in which there is no depth of tissue

and only poor circulation. Further-

more, you find it difficult to keep off

your feet, and your weight and contact

with your clothing break down the

granulation tissue necessary for heal—

ing. I advise you to make a serious

effort to have this thoroughly healed,

for the tendency is to get worse rather

than better. Have the..old tissue cur-

etted away, and stay in bed until heal‘

ing is complete. If you are overweight

try to reduce to normal. Sometimes

such conditions yield to X-Ray treat-

ment. '

Windmill and a most reliable pumping machine.

An Auto-Oiled Aemotor, 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

mentshave been made, as experiencehas 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 wonderfuuy efiicient in the light

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

with practically no friction, and the V’Vind-‘wheel of the Aermotor

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

She was sobbing now, and._Aunt

out of the great love we bore her;

and—-



But here Jimmie Brawley sprang to

hiswfeet and leaned over the table,

shaking a mighty fist in our faces.



“Shut up, all of you!” he bawled.

“Can’t you understand? My girl is

asking this, as a favor—the very first

favor she ever asked of you in all her

life—and if an ‘ powder-soaked desert

scorpion dares o refuse my girl when

she asks a favor of him, I’ll bust his

head with a pick handle. I will, by

G~g-gug—”



Then Jimmie choked and his eyes

filled and he struggled wildly to roll

a. cigarette. He hadn’t much luck,

though, for his hands were shaking

badly. Then when he stuck’the match

In his mouth and tried to light it with

the cigarette everybody laughed and

things got better. The Little Injun

walked around and stood beside Judge

Navlett.



“You thought I didn’t know about

you, too, Judge Navlett,” she said.

“But I did. I knew why you Were

not one of the Red Hill Twenty who

bought the Wedge and developed it

for me. You were too poor! And I

knew that the reason you were so

poor and because you worked harder

to keep litigation out of the camp

than any other lawyer ever did to

win suits. And how can a lawyer

make money if people don’t have law-

suits, I’d like to know? qunew all

the time you were reading the list

of the Twenty,that your kind 01d

heart was broken because‘your name

wasn’t there too.





“And don’t you suppose I know how

many times you have- stood between

my interests and the claim jumpers

who time after time have tried to

jump the Red Hill away from me?

Judge Navlett, you are to write your

name into the papers as one of our

corporation! And oh, judge—boys—

I’m so happy! For with just a little

stroke of a pen I’ve made you all

millionaires! ”



Then she kissed the judge and ran

to the sure refuge of Aunt Malindy’s

'breast, where she cried with her face

hidden under Aunt Malindy’s ample

c 1n.



Perhaps Judge'Navlett’s lip trem-

bled a. bit, but otherwise the old war-

rior never flinched.



“Thank you, Little Injun,” he said.

“You’ll pardon me, though, if I state

frankly that I value the kiss more

than that million that goes with it!"



“But, Judge!” wailed old Sim Yap-

les, the tears rolling down into his

risk of getting my head busted; but,

honestly, can we bring ourselves to

Corn Gluten Feed Makes Champions





Again the Corn Gluten Feed ration has set'

the pace in milk production. The five highest}

producing jerseys in 1924 have established

new records for this breed.





The complete story of these cows and the way they]

were fed was published in Hoard’s Dairyman of June.

5th. A summary of this report is as follows:





Madeline of Hillside—owned by J. T. Carpenter of Massa- -

chusetts—produced 20,624 pounds milk and 1,044.05 pounds .

butterfat in 365 days. This is the record in the mature ersey

class for 1924. Her ration contained 160 pounds Corn luten

Feed and 120 pounds of Com Gluten Meal—17% of the total;

grain ration.



Raleigh’s Torono’s Lady—owned by the Sherman Nursery;

of Iowa—produced I 8,075 pounds milk and 982.26 pounds butter-

fat as a senior four—year-old. She is the highest jersey milk

producer in her class. She was fed a ration containing 100}

pounds Corn Gluten Feed and 100 pounds Com Oil Cake Meal ,9

~26% of the total grain ration.



Raleigh’s Torono’s Meme—also owned by the Sherman

Nursery—produced 16,085 pounds milk and 902. x 5 pounds butter—

fat. She is the world's champion junior two-year—old jersey. Her

ration contained 100 pounds Com Gluten Feed—16% of the

total grain fed.



Atlanta’s Noble Helen—owned by Salmon P. Hall of Ohio j

—produced 13,555 pounds milk and 799.44 pounds butterfat.‘

She is the highest producer in the three—year—old class. Her

ration was a commercial mixed feed containing Corn Gluten Feed.





Owl-Interest Tulip—owned by F. A. Kennedy of Vermont——

produced 16,613 pounds milk and 894.39 pounds fat and make

this record with calf. She is the butterfat champion of Vermont

and junior four-year-old champion of New England. She was

fed a standard ration containing Corn Gluten Feed.



Whether you are feeding dairy cows, beefcattle, hogs or it , you wil 1

make more money with Corn Gluten Feed in the ration. Bu letin 0. 2 con-

tains many new facts and several tested rations. Mail thecoupon fora freecopy.





If you mix your own ration at least 25% of it should be Com Gluten Feed.

l f you feed any of the many good commercial feeds be sure to select one that

contains Corn Gluten Feed.

ciation Work. A. report for the C.T.A..





year ending July 1st, just issued by,





the Dairy Department of the State-



‘ Agricultural College, showed seven

out of the ten high herds to. be Hol-

steins,_ with the top four positions

held by Black and Whites. These top

herds were owned by J. F. Bowlby of

the Clinton-Shiwassee Association,

Glen Clarkson of Sanilac N0. 2, W. J.

Bennett, also of Sanilac No. 2, and

W. E. Robb, of Genessee No. 7.



After all these rewards had been

made and the dinner parked where it

would do the most good, the speaker

of the day, A. J. Glover, Editor of

Hoard’s Dairyman, addressed the

crowd in his usual forceful style. The

theme of Glover’s talk was, of course,

“Dairying”—with a Holstein flavor: _



After the talk came a judging con-

test for Boys Club members, and for

representatives of Bull Clubs. The

competitors were rated on the plac-

ings and their oral reasons by the

honors in the judging because the

tition was a yearling. son of Maple-

living Century Sire out of a thirty-

two pound cow.- The choice bred

young bull» was presented by Mr.

Wentworth.



And all day long visiting breeders

were “getting acquainted with the

Bulls.” This attraction, as anticipat-

ed, proved most interesting. The out-

standing herd—sires of Michigan from

the farms of Lambert and Webber,

Clarkston; J. F. Berkheimer, Homer;

F. B. Ainger, Jr., Northville; Pontiac

State Hospital; Kalamazoo State Hos-

pital; Detroit Creamery Company, Mt.

Dudley Waters, Grand

Rapids; as well as the well~known

sires of the Lakewobd Herd itself—

were assembled for' inspection. And

they surely were inspected “fore and

aft” by the Holstein men who mostly

knew them only by report and from

advertisement.



All in all the Third Annual Field

Day was one replete with interest,

profit and fun; '





 





 





Testing-Why Keep On?





After the





FEW days ago a prominent

A breeder of purebred cattle asked



the following question:' “Is it

desirable or necessary to keep records

on each cow in the herd for more

than one year?" In further explana-

tion of the question he let- it be

known that he thought his individual

cows would produce about the same

amount of milk and butterfat each

year.



The answer was that if a breeder

or dairyman really wants to know the

production and returns made by each

cow each year that this could only be

obtained by keeping oduction rec—

ords and feed costs ea 11 year. It is

not possible to judge a Cow’s ability

as an economical producer r a term

of years ‘by keeping record on her

for only one year.



A cow will not produce the same-

amount of milk and butterfat each

year. Many things can happen which

will cause a variation in production

from year to year. It is quite true

that if a cow under normal conditions

produces enoughmilk and butterfat in

one year to place her well above the

border line of profits that the owner

can safely count on that particular

cow as being a profitable cow to

keep. ,



Is that enough to know about the

individual cows in your herd? Is it

not true that the cows furnish the

market for a large part of the rough-

age and grain grown on the farm? If

this is correct, then it is certainly

important to take the steps to make

sure that these cows pay the best pos-

sible price each year for the feed they

consume. In seasons of short crops

this is doubly important and essential.



While his important to know just

what production a. cow will 'make

year after year the greatest advantage

of systematic records such as are

made in C.T.A. work is that the owner

can check up on the individual cows

from tiine to time and adjust his feed-

ing and management to» meet the re-

quirements. *



Cow. testing associations furnish the

best and most economical method of

keeping an exact record on the dairy

en‘terprize of the farm.



To: gradually all; lines of business,

‘ kept on; the business. con-

rbodtsa are closed





 

 





 





Fm! Tear





each twelve months, a new inventory

is made and another year’s work is

begun. In this way the manager or

owner has a check each year on his

business. He can tell whether his

business is going ahead or falling be—

hind. Checking up on the cows in the

herd every twelve months is good

management, it creates interest, and

if properly handled it will make for

greater profits.



R. L. Peterson, tester in the Gogebic

C.T.A., states in his annual summary}

that a total of 1,996,581 pounds of

milk and 78,675 pounds of butterfat

were produced by the 265 cows under

test during the year just ended. The

members received a total of $37,048.54

for the product produced by these

cows. Peterson pertinently asks the

question, “Does 3. $37,000.00 business

need a bookkeeper?” ‘

Dairymen with farms in the vicinity

of Michigan resorts are caring for the

demand for milk and butter from these

places to their financial advantage.

Most of these men are learning that

the resort people are exacting in the

kind of milk offered, but where quality

is satisfactory the price «is easily

agreed on. ‘

it is a peculiar fact that profitable

dairy farms are usually found in

groups. Sometimes this is due to soil

and cimatic conditions, or to market

facilities, but more usually it is. the

THE temporary fence has become one of the essentials in mod-

em and, profitable farmmg. It is savmg for farmerseach year

tlfiousands of dollars in labor, in time, and through ehmmatlon

o waste.





Hogging down corn, practical only with low cost temporary

fences, saves the expense of husking, cribbing, reloading and

feeding. And hogs do much better when allowed to forage for

themselves. They never miss an ear.





These savings are directly traceable to the Red Top Guaranteed

Steel Fence Posts. Red Top has made possible the low cost,

quickly erected and removed temporary fence. ~ Red Tops are ..

easily driven into the dry, hard soil in a jiffy with the Red Top

One Man Post Driver. The fence wire is quickly attached.

Posts can be pulled and the fence moved over when you want to

cut off a new area.





Build New Fences—Repair Old Ones NOW





Do no't delay this work with the idea of crowding it into the busy spring sea-

son. The easily driven Red Top Steel Post has made fall fencing practical and

easy. The extremely low prices now prevailing on Red Tops and fencing will

mean big savings for you if you fence this fal . You'll have more time now

than during the spring rush.

have. They’ll tell you of the savings made by this improved

steel post. You'll find out why the Red Top gets the prefer-

ence today on American farms. The Red Top dealer is a good

man to know—the fact that he picked the Red Top is evidence

that he believes in giving you the best value in each line of

A user of an_ old cream separator, which was

uch to his surprise'the new De Laval gave him a cupful of cream

more at each separation. He figured hehad been losing 150 worth

of butter-fat a day, amounting to $54 .75in a. year—and equal to

6% interest on $912.00. Needless to say the De Laval stayed.

Noris this an unusual case. as the same thing, and often greater

The new De Laval is the best cream separator ever

made—skims cleaner, runs easier and lasts longer.

Among other new features and refinements it has a

self-centering bowl which eliminates vibration, causing

it to run smoother and easier. It gives you a rich,

REEDING ewes which have

flesh after the lambs are weaned

and should have' the best care possible

during the fall months or just previ-

ous to mating with the ram. .The

practice of good feeding and care be

fore mating is called flushing. This

can best be done by giving the flock

access to the best pasture the farm

_ affords. Where a meadow will not be

available, rape may be sown with the

oat crop. The rape should be broad-

castedabout three weeks after the

oats are sown.



During seasons when we have

abundant rainfall excellent fall feed

four weeks before mating. Good care

at this time insures a. larger, stronger

lamb crop and practically all of the

ewes will lamb within three weeks

after starting.



The flock which goes into winter

quarters in good condition is easily

wintered while it is not only difficult

but also requires agreat deal of extra

feed to get the thin ewe in suitable

shape for lambing. ‘



The period of gestation for a ewe is

five months. When the lambs are to

be sold during the summer or early

fall the rams should be turned in the

last of October, where the lambs are

to be held over and fed the winter

following their birth, breeding should

not take place until December.





The importance of using a purebred

ram of superior individuality and good

shearing qualities cannot be too

strongly emphasized. If quick matur-

ing lambs for market only are desired

a mutton type of ram should be

chosen. If the ewe lambs are to be

retained for breeding purposes it is

often desirable to use a Delaine or

Rambohillet ram. A good vigorous

yearling or two year old ram should

handle forty ewes. It is a good prac-

tice when possible to change rams

after three weeks as a ram occasional-

ly proves sterile and in many flocks

there are ewes which would not con-

ceive to the service of the first rain

that mighL be settled by another sire.

Winter quarters for the breeding

flock need not be elaborate unless the

lambs are to. be dropped early. There

are, however, a. few essentials which

should be rigidly, adhered to. The shed





 





 





where trouble has been experienced





feeds for breeding use. Where silage

is not available root crops or small

potatoes are often used as a succu-

lent feed. If a moderate allowance

(from one and one—half to two pounds

per head) of good leguminous hay is

fed each day the remainder of the

ration may consist of cheaper rough-

ages such as straw, stalks, bean pods

or silage or some combination of these

feeds.





Timothy hay is not satisfactory for i





sheep nor should a ration be made up

largely of corn stalks, corn silage and

straw as this,combination would not

furnish sufficient protein, although

these feeds give excellent results

when fed in combination with legumin-Th

ous hays which furnishes suflicient

protein.



For the last thirty days before lamb-

ing it is usually best to feed some

grain. Oats or a combination of equal

parts of cats and bran fed at the rate

of one-half pound per head daily give

good results. After lambing this

allowance should be increased to from

one to one and one-half pounds per

head daily. Ewes which have a full

udder of milk very seldom disown

their lambs and correct feeding will

insure plenty of milk.



The, flock should have access to salt

and water at allutimes. On farms

SH£EP DO WELL ON SWEET

CLOVER' PASTURE





 





UCH has been written and said





lately about the value of sweet,





cl'over for dairy cattle but little has

been said about this valuable legume

as a pasture crop. for sheep and cattle.



Up. in. Emmet county near Levering

Haves. Theed-ore Schmalzreid. He and





Dr. William:





READERS of The Michigan Farmer





will be grieved to hear of the.





death of our veterinary editor,

Dr. William Cooper Fair, August 18,

after a two weeks’ illness. Dr Fair

has been helping readers of The Michi-

gan Farmer with their ailing livestock

her 30 years.



Altho the Doctor was 75 years of age

when he died he was yet quite actively

practicing his profession, only lecently

having closed his hospital, which he

had maintained since 1875.



He was born in a log house on a

stock farm in Blenheim, Ontario, Can-

ada. Thus he began early his experi-

ence with livestock. He graduated

from. Dr Smith’s College of Veterinary

Medicine in Toronto. This school was

later absorbed by the Ontario Agri-

cultural College and Experiment'Sta—

tion and was moved 'to Guelph, On-

tario. ’ On coming to Cleveland the

doctor established a veterinary hos-

pital.



The doctor also maintained“ for some

time a farm home for ailing— animals

at Mentor, 20 miles east of Cleveland

——a real rest cure for sick livestock.

Some of his patients have been among

the most famous animals of their time

——racers, pedigreed cattle, etc. He

was veterinarian for the American

Steel & Wire __Co., for many years be

fore automobiles became the motive

power of such. industries. He is said

to have been:- the first veterinarian to



se successfully the puncture method





I V. of treating horses for colic.





For: over 30 years he was 0011ng





such as Dwarf Essex rape for





 





' 7- and th second: crop: some back quirks -.j





asiethe casein this crop. Hewith





his brother George had about 30 ewes





and the samenum-bcr of lambs. These





"were’ turned‘in on the second growth

and in spite of the sixty head that '

pastured there from summer into the ,





tall they couldn’t. keep the sweet

clover down and there- was enough





growth left to make a fairly good a .





clipping of hay.

Across the road lives another broth-

er, Fred Schmalzreid.





failed: him. With some misgivings he

turned his sheep and some young. cat-

tle into. the clover for pasture. The

efllfect' on these animals were not long

in; showing up. The lambs

killed for a nearby market and the

butchers marveled at. the quality of

meat produced. The sweet clover

turned. the trick. The cattle thrived

and grew fat on the sweet clover. No





grain was given to any of the above ,





animals, and: yet on sweet clover pas-

ture alone they grew bone and muscle

and laid on fat—K. Vining.





KEEPING FOXES.





 





Is there any law regarding the deny-

ing of foxes in this state? What, dis-





tance from the road or from a resi- ,





dence must they be kept? I under-





stand they have a very disagreeable





odor. What can be done ?—M. I. H.



We are unaware of any particular

statute relating to the keeping of

foxes;

public nuisance is liable to. suit and

the nuisance may be abated. Whether

there is a nuisance is a question of

fact.-——Rood.





TO STOP SM UGGLING.





 





MOVEMENT is under way to stop



smuggling of all commodities on

which there is a tariff or other re-

striction. An effective patrol under

direction of the treasury department

has been posted all along the Canadi-

an border from the Atlantic to the

Pacific oceans.



It is said by treasury officials that

the cost of maintaining the large force

will be more than paid by the in-

creased tariff duties that will be col-

lected on cattle, grain and other agri-

cultural products now being smuggled





across the border, especially in North '





Dakota and Montana without the-pay-

ment of duty.





Cooper Fair





veterinal lan for the Cleveland Humane

Society, and was active in the Society

fer Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,

of which he was president for sevelal

years. He was president for several

terms of both the Cleveland and the

Ohio Veterinary Medical Associations.



In 1910 the doctor prepared “The

People’s Home Stock Book,” as a part

of a large volume called “The People’s

Home Library,” its material based up—

on his long and valuable experience

as a practical veterinarian. He stated

some time ago that records of his

correspondence with our readers

would show around a half million let-

ters answered either by mail or in our

papers. And his practice would cover

many thousand animals successfully

treated. ‘



Dr. Fair was married to. Miss Sybil

Caskey in 1894. His family consists

of Mrs. Fair and their three daughters,

Mrs. R. C. Barnum, Mrs. Harlan W.

Flagg, Mrs. Thomas R. Adams, all sur-

viving him and all living near their

father and mother in Cleveand. The

last few winters Dr. and Mrs. Fair

have spent partly in Florida, the first

real vacations that he had allowed

himself. Mrs. Fair is quite prominent

in musical circles in Cleveland, having

been a. church organist for many years.



Arrangement-s have been made with-

Dr. Samuel Burrows, V. S., to care

for veterinary inquiries sent to The

Michigan Farmer.

WHEAT





Uncertainty as to the effect ‘of the

United States and Canadian spring

wheat movement, liberal offers for ex-

port from Russia, and speculative sell-

ing caused a sinking spell in wheat

prices in the past week. Primary re-

ceipts have increased in the last few

days after shrinking steadily since the

end of July. Spring wheat markets

are receiving more wheat than at this

time a year ago, when the harvest was

late. Flour trade is fairly good. Mill—

ing demand for wheat continues satis-

factory, but some observers believe

that it will diminish before long. ch-

ers believe that it will not shrink

much until primary receipts also begin

to fall off. Canadian prices declined

along with ours in sipte of reports of

damage in some sections as a result of

wet weather and frost. Thus far, no

wheat has been cleared from Russ1a,

but that country continues to offer for

later shipment. It is worth noting that

some hard winter wheat was sold for

export on the break during the past

week, and clearances of wheat, not 1n-

cluding flour, continue at the rate of.

one to one and one-half million bush-





els per week. .

RYE





The large discount of rye prices un-

der wheat was increased during the

past week. Receipts at the leading

markets have trebled in the. past fort-

night, and export business in old rye

has practically disappeared. The Unit-



: ed States has a liberal surplus in spite



of the small crop. ,Russian reports



~ continue to indicate a large crop and

~ ’ a liberal export surplus.





CORN





The most severe decline in many

weeks is in progress in the corn mar-

‘ket’with prices at the lowest level of

the Season. Producers have been sell-

Demand, is of a hand-to-mouth char-- 1





acter, as consumers of corn are luck-

ing for louver prices as soon as the

new crop becomes available. .The de-

cline has been so severe that- it is

likely to resulLin smaller'country of-

ferings and a broader demand. Dry

weather has been doing some damage

in the last two weeks, and it- is pos-

be a little dis-

appointing. , ' .





oats at primary mar-

kets continue unusually .heavy, and

large additions are being made each

week to the visible supply. ,

ports show much larger yiel s at

threshing time than expected. Demand

for oats is only fair, although export

sales continue large enough to deserve

notice. These are due to small offer-

ings from Argentina and damage early

.in the season to the European crop.





‘ BARLEY





Export sales of barley have been

fairly liberal and clearances in the last

two weeks have been more than twice

as large as in the corresponding pe-

riod of either of the past two years.





BEANS --





Prospects for a bumper bean crop,

and only a fair demand, caused a set—

back in bean prices last week. C. H.

P. Whites are quoted at $4.70@4.75 per

100 pounds. Beans for October ship-

ment have declined from $4.75@4.50.

Buyers are inclined to hold off in the

hope of still lower prices when the

burden of the new crop comes on the

market. The August 1 forecast for

Michigan of 7,282,000 bushels is the

largest on record, and the crop has

made good progress since the field

reports were made. Harvesting has

started in some sections. ,





SEEDS





New timothy seed is beginning to

move rather freely, and the market

has eased off slightly. The clover seed

market has declined also as a result

of more favorable new crop prospects.

Kalamazoo ’00., Aug. 25.——-Weather

Conditions are ideal for growing crops.

Corn will make a bumper crop if we

have plenty of warm weather. Late

potatoes are looking fine. It has been

too wet for threshing and oats that

have been left in the field are in very

bad condition. Farmers have had two

fine cuttings of alfalfa and may get

a third. Wheat is selling for $1.53,

oats 50c, potatoes $1.00 to $1.50. There

will be some clover seed here but it

will be late. The acreage of wheat

to be sown this fall will be about

normal. Most «if the ground is now

ploughed for wheat—L. T. H.





Hillsdale 00., Aug. 24.—Late rains,





have given prospects for bumper

crops. Cats and wheat were a little

short on account of early dry weather,

but the yield was fairly good. Po-»

totoes are a small crop and the acre-

age is also small. Late rains have

helped plowing and about the average
