The “feel” of oil, good or bad, gives no idea ofits ability to protect your automobile, truck, or tractor from too rapid depreci— ation and unnecessary repair expense. By “looks ” and by “ feel,” not even a chemist can tell the differences between oils. But your motor can.

Beaver-farming has already been tried out in Pennsylvania and some other eastern states; and Mr. Vernon ‘Bailey, of the United States Biological Survey, has for two years past been investigating conditions in the Upper Peninsula and the northern section of 'the Lower Peninsula to ascertain the ‘ possibilities of the industry here. Mr. 'Bailey was in Marquette with Dr. Nel- ‘ son and both men spoke very hopeful- ly of the results already attained in northern Michigan. Two beaver farms have already been established in the northern portion of the Southern Pe- ninsula and the results so far are good, ' these men report. The conditions in Michigan which make beaver-farming profitable are‘ an abundance of inland lakes, streams and bayous—the ideal haunts for the - beaver—and quantities of aspen and poplar on the cut-over lands, ideal food 'for these animals. Thus lands that are not good for anything else are just suited for the beaver. {But there is‘another important fac- tor in the case, according to Mr. Bail- ey, who has an established reputation Takes Position on Coo T fie Meagan HERE has been, during the past decade, a great development of cooperation among farmers. It has become firmly established as a method of assisting in the transac- tions of the business of agriculture. Presidents, cabinet officials, governors and other public men urge united ac- tion among farmers as one of the ways in which they can best deal with their business problems. During the past summer there was held, in cooperation with the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, the first session of the American In- stitute of Cooperation. At these ses- sions, managers, directors, employes, and members of cooperative organiza- tions and college and governmental workers were in attendance. A gen- eral discussion of. the principles, fund- amentals, and practical workings of cooperatives were explained and dis- cussed. It was quite generally agreed that there was no one right way to cooperate; but that there was merit in various different forms of organization and methods of operation. . There seemed to be a feeling that coopera- tion had passed through the experi- mental period and that it was forging ahegdto real ficcomplishments. . r_ ’ Cooperation, by itself, is not going “tosolv’e all of the ills of agriculture. the cut-over ' __, 11M Punt-IS” as a beaver expert.

Where the local supply of aspen and poplar becomes exhausted, these trees can be cut artificially and hauled to the pens where the beaver are kept. They have no objection to being fed in this manner. Recently, at the Hur- on Mountain Club west of Marquette, beaver which were committing depre- dations on the shade trees about the RELIABILITY .'

It is probably little realized by low- er state residents how frequently beav- er can be encountered in this region. They were recently found operating ten miles or so out of Marquette. It. is well known that fox farming has progressed remarkably well in Michi- gan. {Vhy not also take up beaver farming? In addressing the Marquette Rotary Club, September 21, Dr. Nelson point- ed out that our game resources were too little appreciated as a matter of dollars and cents. He told how the United States Biological Survey had a good market for its elk and Buffalo from the government herds, and how a very large elk farm had recently been stocked with government elk and established on Cape Cod, Massachu- setts. There is a good market for elk meat, he said.

Time lions annually. The United States Department of Agriculture has published bulletins on various kinds of game-farming. Thus Mr. Vernon Bailey has a. bulletin on beaver farming, and there is another , on muskrat farming. No doubt here is a chance for a few enterprising farmers to start something worth while, if they go at it right. With a good market for beaver skins and for the beavers themselves, why not? It is one of the ways of solving the prob- lem of our twelve million acres of waste lands in Michigan. pcration State College Adopt} a Policy a: to Cooperative Activities By J. T. Homer I It is not going to enable farmers to fix prices nor set aside the fundamental laws of business. When used as an aid in bringing about better business methods and as a means of educating farmers, it will be a real benefit, not only to agriculture, but to the country at large. Recently, this type of busi— ness organization has been used to make some of the operations of agri- cultural production and marketing more efficient. The main cooperative efforts of the present time are for the purpose of increasing efficiency, get- ting the product to the market in the cheapest manner, and of increasing the money return to farmers. If united action of farmers to bring about better conditions is to accom— plish its aim, there will of necessity be emphasis placed upon efiiciency in production as well as marketing. These phases of agriculture are so closely connected that it is impossible to deal with one without considering the other. This efficiency, alone, is not going to bring prosperity to agri- culture. However, cooperation is af- fording a means to educate farmers about their marketing problems in par- ticular. Whether this form of organ- , operative ization brings all the good results ex- pected of it, is not all important; but, rather, whether it accomplishes some good. Organization in agriculture is for purposes aside from business transac— tions. It tends to develop a class con- sciousness or group solidarity which provides an effective means to deal with business, educational, social, and religious problems. The ability to work as organized groups must be de- veloped. It is not native. The busi— ness organization having a definite- ness of purpose, readily grasped by everyone and being of every-day in- terest, is a valuable means of training farmers in group action. So, the co- business associations are the ones which must be developed first and form the foundation upon which later ones can be builded. Cooperation is the working together to accomplish a common end. Its main types are: ~ I. Consumers: In this field consum- ers act together in supplying their lneed for supplies to satisfy their eve ry-day requirements. The cooperative grocery is of this type. Its main pur- pose is to save for the members the profits which go to the private dealer. Consumer cooperation has not devel- oped to any great extent in the United States. . II. Producers: This type of cooper- ation is the working together in the production of goods. It might be di- vided into industrial and agricultural. In the United States agricultural co- operation has developed along three main lines. 1. In production. 2. In buying supplies needed in pro- duction. 3. In selling or marketing. Examples of these are: (1) In pro— duction, the threshing rings and sire, cow testing and crop improvement as sociations and credit and insurance associations. (2) In buying, the co-- operative association which supplies the farmer with feed, fertilizer, bas- kets and packing materials, spray ma- terials, machinery, and other things needed in production. (3) In market- ing, the elevator live stock, cotton, tobacco, and many other exchanges which take the product of the individ- ual farmers and sell it. Farmers have been working diligent~ ly at this job of getting cooperative enterprises. established. 'They have been new in this field and, as a gen- (Continued on page 365).

Under the Act of March 3. 1810. Member Audit Bureau 01’ Circulation. NUMBER SIXTEEN VOLUME CLXV DETROIT, OCTOBER 17, 1925 CURRENT COMMENT Whatever he orders in the way of weather seems to go with the major- ity of us without question. Yet, in a sense, the good farmer is no such vassal to that despot. ,- The farmer can, to a considerable degree, insure himself against weath- er extremes. Fields fed with legumes, manures and fertilizers will produce crops that can withstand a little dry weather or too much rain, better than crops can on soils lacking in plant food and cultural conditions. Lime and phosphates diminish the unfavor- able effects of an open winter upon the land, according to an Ohio experi- ment station authority, and, by increas- ing the amount of a fertilizer heavy in nitrogen, one can help the fall grains to gain a. degree of growth that will reduce to a minimum the possibility of Winter-killing. A consistent, liberal fertility pro« gram is a method whereby the farmer can protect himself against a consider- able portion of the crop damage re- sulting from bad weather. So long as it is not in the hands of the farmer to order the sort of weather that would best suit his purpose,.it is policy for him to provide conditions that will minimize damage should weather ex- tremes come. ATELY there has Some come to our 110- , tice, one thing which Corn Im' is of especial interest .provements to the farmer. In 111- inois, there is a man by the name of J. E. Crowder, known as the Illinois Burbank. He has done quite a little with sunflowers, but now is working on corn. He figures that the husk and cob are non-essential to this great American grain. They are not only non-essential in these efficient times, but they cause a lot of work ,Which could be eliminated, if huskless mand cobless corn could be grown. Furthermore, he calculates that it takes a large amount of plant ma- ,:j*-terial from the soil to produce the A'useiess husk and cob. Thus the soil i.;:could be saved considerable work by Pvtheir. elimination. uthr. .Crowder’s experiments, thus far, \ HERE is in the ' ' .minds 0 f most Putting It farmers a sort of sub- Over the consciousness t h a t.

These bees "are apparently”, done away with already, as the red ear is not necessary noWadays to get that much-sought kiss. ' But we would like to suggest that, while Mr. Crowder is working on corn, he develop a borerless variety. That, in the coming years, will be a greater need than the elimination of the husk and the cob. The borers are on their way and are raising hob beyond the realization of most of us. And when it gets down into Illinois, and the real corn belt, it will"‘raise havoc untold. It will, without doubt, change the ag- riculture _of this region, it it is not stopped. Inasmuch as Mr. Crowder is work- ing on a bugless potato, it would seem very logical that he give his attentfon to borerless corn. We know quite a few Michigan farmers who immediate- ly would be interested in it. But, re— gardless of whether Mr. Crowder will work on this or not, we want to urge every Michigan farmer to take this borer seriously and to fight him with might and main on the kind of corn they are growing now. HE other day, we The went to a small town which nestles Small close to the outskirts Town of Detroit. It, is that type of smallr town which was going to be put out of busi- ness with the increasing use of the interurban, the growing popularity of the auto, the growing activities of the mail-order business, and the advent of prohibition. The auto and interurban were going to make it easy for folks to do their shopping in the big city; MICHIGAN FOLKS TO SEE CORN BORER WORK. S noted elsewhere in this is- sue, a party of Michigan farmers, county agents, and oth—. ers concerned in the damage be- ing done by the European corn borer will meet at the Michigan Farmer offices, 1632 Lafayette! Boulevard, Detroit, Michigan, at: 9:30 o‘clock, Thursday, October 22, and proceed from there to the infested fields in western Onta‘ rio. The trip will require but one day from Detroit, the party. returning early in the evening. All persons driving automobiles should be certain to bring with them their “Certificate of Reg- istration.” J the mail—order business was expected to take. all the trade the city stores didn’t take, and, without a saloon, the town would have no attractions at all. All these things have come; but, contrary to the prognosticators, the small town is still on the map. As ever, it is a thriving place, along whose streets homes nestle with a. peaceful and contented attractiveness. It has no manufacturing enterprises, but its “down town" is doing a good business. We happened in on the owner of the general store in this particular town. He spoke of the changing neighbor— hood. He no longer knew a great por- tion of the people who traded at his store. Extra clerks were needed to wait on the trade; and other stores were having the same experience, he said. Mr. General Store Manager remark- ed, “There's Jim Smith. He said that when prohibition went into‘efiect he’d have to discharge his one barber be-r cause there wouldn’t be any business. Nowhe's keeping three men busyjbe- sides hirhself. ‘ ‘ g, i" _ . T * "“‘Thé auto. any branch“ .nes's to the town; instead pf; away._ People from all over come to tradehere.” . .. , 5, This is just an average Michigan toWn.- _What the general'store man- ager said would undoubtedly apply to most other towns. People are tired of jostling each other in the crowded av- enues of trade, so they enjoy cranking up the old bus, taking a. little ride, and doing their shopping where it is pleasant and economical. HE other day on Life's a crowded street G car, we overheard a reatest scholarly looking gen- ‘ Tragedy tleman, o f perhaps forty years, ask a motherly, sweet-faced woman, with whom he was conversing, “What, in your experience, is the tragedy of life -age, ,poverty, or pain?” We were deeply interested, but the lady’s reply set us to thinking. “To me, it is neither of those. It is man's failure to his friends and those who trust him. To think—” Here the car came to a sudden stop at our corner and we heard no more. Walking on down the street, we pon- dered the truth of those words. Happiness has evolved from age, poverty and pain in many instances. The old man just ready to cross the Great Divide is happy in the accomp- lishment of a life well lived. Poverty, developing from sacrifice to a master- ly cause, might bring greater happiness than abundant wealth in many a case. As for pain or bodily injury, when en- dured to save others from suffering or in relieving the suffering, it brings an immeasurable amount of satisfac- tion and happiness. It is quite manifest how happiness might come from__all three of these seeming tragedies, but rare is the case when happiness comes from, the fail- ure of man to his friends. Years of happy association, trust, work and play together are swallowed up by five minutes of bitterness or traitorism to a friend. To many of us it is a struggle be- tween twenty years and five minutes ——five minutes of bitterness over against twenty years of happiness. Ought we not to give more thought to the years of happiness, rather than follow the impulse of the moment? ACK in the old Getting days, we “just ate." Our Then, later, we were _ . eating proteins, car- Vitamins bohydrates, etc.; but now we are getting careful about our vitamins. ‘Really, as one thinks about it, when we really get to know of what our food consists, we will come to the realization that we have been consuming many whole— some things we were not aware of. But, at the present writing, vitamins have the stage. Whenever anything ~worth while becomes popular, it is commercialized. So with vitamins. Various drug preparations are now on the market which claim to have all the essentials of these helpful vitamins to give you all the attributes that come with lasting youth. This has become so prevalent that the United States Department of Ag- riculture has issued a circular urging one to get his vitamins from his food. \—not from drugs. Foods contain all the essentials for the growth and well-being of our bod- ies. The trouble lies not in the foods themselves, but in our selection and preparation of them. The farmer is in a happy situation with reference to this matter. He has food at first hand. He'has it fresh and wholesome. He can diversify his dietwith little expense. But so often the diet is restricted and the resulting deficiency is sought to be corrected by g I. , "Tit" ’her in the air When ’I redu‘ * a gopd health. 1 - 7 ' as should be expected, take the advice of the department of' agriculture and .

NO institution helps more in the establishment of ideals than does . a well-conducted "show. This can be said with special emphasis of our -po~ tato shows. ’ The new plan of the present’year,.' to have three district shows, makes possible the extension of this influence, to growers throughout the important potato producing districts of the state. These shows will be held in succeed- ing weeks as follows: 'Greenville, Oc« tober 28-30; Gaylord, November 3-5; Mayville, November 10-12. Every spud grower who feels the need of growing better potatoes should plan to attend one of these shows. Wave Lengt/zs YOU folkses don’t know I’m a sport. I’m a regular one, ’cause I’ve been takin’ in the world serious base. ball games and the foot ball games, with all their rahs rahs, and everything. Sofie is even gotta wait supper some times fer me, ’cause a game ain’t fin- ished. There’s nothin’ like havin ’things convenient. If I want a football game. I just turn out 0’ them dingefobles and I get it. You see, I got a wire runnin' from the windmill ta the'house, and so any time I wanta game or any‘ thin’ like that, I just get the wave length and the game comes run- nin’ into the house on that Wire. This broadcast .in' is great stuff, ain’t it? It shows the air is got a lot more in it than we think. That’s just the way with lots 0’ other common things about us. They’s got lots 0’ good in ’em, but we don’t know it-and don’t know. how ta get ’em out, even if we did, know it. And it is just the same with folkses. Each one 0’ us is a. broadcastin’ stat- shun. And each is got a lotta good in him, as well as what you call static. But sometimes we don’t know what good is in each other, ’cause we ain’t on the same wave length. So, lots 0’ times when we think we’re tuned in and just gettin’ static, we think that's all there is. Now, radios is great instruments. They kin tune in on any wave length there is, pretty near. But we folkses ain’t very effichunt that way. We op~ erate on our own wave length all the time and expect everybody else ta tune in. Now, maybe if we try, one what’s on a low wave length kin understand a fellow on a high one, if both try ta tune in on a medium wave. And that’s awful hard ta do, ’cause we gotta alter our habits some, and habits is hard ta alter. But it’s worth tryin’. But if it can’t work, and you get nothin’ but static, you might just as well shut off, ’cause static don’t do nobody no good. There’s some times when me and Sofie ain’t on the same wave length, and there is static in the air. She says. I ain’t tuned in on work atall. I don’t like static and it’s awful hard fer me. ta get on that work wave length she talks about, so I just shut oh and read the paper. Even then she tries ta get me, but can’t.

About 125 acres are under cultivation; the rest are left for grazing purposes. The amount of land under cultivation will not in- crease, as the prime purpose of the ranch is for grazing.

The stalls are 'common, and even plainer than is found in many barns through this country. _ One wonders why a prince should want a place like this. One reason is that the prince occasionally likes to act like common folks, and another is that he is quite a business man and He has several farms in the British Islands and bought this one Chicago. Mr. George Lane, its owner, is well-known to stock men in this country. The slump in agriculture, combined with Mr. Lane’s ill-health, has put this ranch in a bad way. Rel- atives haven’t the interest which Mr. Lane had, and consequently the stock hasdeteriorated some. The prince undoubtedly bought his ranch at Mr. Lane’s suggestion or through his advice. At least, he now has for farm manager, the former manager of Mr. Lane’s ranch, Profes- sor W. L. Carlyle. Professor Carlyle is a man of wide experience in live stock work. He was born in Ontario and had his agricul- tural education in the Ontario Agricul- tural college. He taught at the Uni- versity of Minnesota, was professor of animal husbandry at Wisconsin, dean of agriculture in Colorado, Idaho, and Oklahoma, and also had special work with the United States Department of Agriculture in animal husbandry lines. And now, besides managing the E. P. Ranch, as the prince’s ranch is called, he also runs the ranch belonging to Lord Minto. Professor Carlyle told us visitors that the E. P. Ranch was entirely on in western Canada to get more room for some of the fine line of stock he the big The Canadian ranch of the prince is right ”next to. the famous Bar U thousand acres, probably the largest in the world. The latter has been fa- ‘af tie Canadian Rec/tier tflé Prince Raiser Good Stack - h A. Wilken' a business basis. During the past year it paid profits at the rate, of one dollar per day. New buildings and equipment have to' be paid out of the receipts of the ranch. Therefore, im- provements were being made slowly and on the basis of economy. At present there are one hundred crease, as the prince purpose ETAOI pure-bred and one hundred grade Shorthorns on the place. They also have about two hundred fancy Shrop- shire sheep, and sixty fine horses, mostly pure-bred Percheron and Clydesdale. Mr. Carlyle said that, upon one of his early visits to the ranch, the prince asked how the children in the range sections got to school. He was in- formed that horseback was the usual means of convenience. He asked what kind of horses were used. He was told that most any kind of a horse, usually the worst on the ranch. Therefore, he introduced the Dartmouth pony from England. He now has quite a few of this sturdy type, which is acclimating very well; and it is his hope that soon other ranchers will try to raise them. The writer can attest to the fact that the children use horses. Those who could just toddle, seemed accustomed to handling horses. The disadvantage of the pony, it seems, would be that a half dozen children could not ride it at once, as they do the horses. One of the prince’s reasons for buy- The Prince’s Barns and ing this ranch was to encourage the raising of better live stock in the range country. For this purpose he has imported some of the finest stock in England. His Shorthorn herd is headed by King of the Fairies, one of the best bulls of England, which be- longs to King George, the prinCe’s father. The prince wanted to buy this bull from “dad,” but “dad” would not Some of His Shorthorns. aflChi sell under any condition, but he did loan it for a little while. “Win som- ers,” a stallion of great renown, es-f pecially in Great Britain, can also be found in the prince’s barns at the ; ranch. _ The ride of seventy miles from Ca1- gary to the prince’s ranch is veryin‘r teresting. On the right, one looks out upon the prairie country, as, flat as a?- table and without trees, but with ” wheat fields galore. the foothills, which is the range Coun- try, and in the distance, the moun- tains. Thus one gets at one view three , general types of country—the bread board of the Dominion, the rolling meat producing section, and the scenic but still practical mountains. The mountains are practical because they are the source of many valuable min— ' erals and a never failing supply of wa- ter, the birth-place of many valuable rivers. Several men testified as to the dem- ocratic spirit of the prince. Mr. Car- lyle said that the prince, upon arrival one fall, slung off his coat, sat down in the old-fashioned rocker by the fire- side and said, “This is better than home.” Mr. Carlyle told us that he agreed with the prince, for he had found the prince’s bedroom in Wind- sor Castle very large, but utmostly severe in its plainness. "Monks and others have nothing on the prince in sleeping in Puritanical plainness. Most of the Canadian Pacific Rail- road hotels have suites of rooms set aside for the prince and other royal parties. These suites present a rather formal magnificence which must make the homeiness of the house on the ranch a welcome change to the prince. Dan Riley, president of the Western Stock Raisers’ Association, told us at Calgary of prince. He was granted permission to meet him at the ranch, so he went. his meeting with the (Continued on page 381). The State’s Largest Bee Keeper Mr THE largest producer of honey in the state has just gathered and begun the shipment of seventy tons of this important food product. The pro- ducer is David Running, of Filion, Hur- on county. Thirty million laborers toil for Running from spring until the middle of August, and the remainder of the year; or as long as they survive, live on sugar and organize the village of workers which the following year 4 will produce a new crop of honey for Mr. Running. Running has 415 swarms of bees at ‘Filion, and 200 more at Owendale. This year he got from the 415 swarms at Filion as much honey as he usually gets from 500 swarms.

Over a hundred .rs‘ons listened to a review of the . .«inVestigatio‘nal ‘work being‘done, and ‘ the control measures adopted, and also _ ,took steps to provide for more effect- ive work in 'the future. Officials responsible for scouting ,onrk in the different infested areas . reported their findings. There are large districts in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and Michigan in which the bor— ers have been found. As to Michigan, in 1921 fourteen townships were known to be infested; the next year five more were added to the list; in 1923 four more came under the quarantine laws; last year, ninety-nine were added,and up till the first of August, seventy—five more were found to be infested; mak- ing, in all, 197 townships under the ban in this state alone. In all districts, the spread has been so large and certain as to bring de- pression to corn growers everywhere throughout the country. This was true in spite of a season not especially adapted to the rapid multiplication of the insect. It is predicted by entomol- ogists that a favorable season will carry the pest over large areas of corn- growing territory. Regulatory Work Effective. National and state officials have two duties: Sending out scouts in the bor- der territory to locate newly infested townships, and posting officials on roads leading out of infested district-s to prevent carrying corn with borers to new areas. While the insect natur- ally spreads by the moths flying to uninfested territory and depositing eggs, the rate of spread can easily be speeded up by automobilists carrying corn containing larvae hundreds of miles and there starting isolated breeding areas. To prevent this as far as possible, quarantines Were es- tablished by the federal government in cooperation with the state depart— ments of agriculture. Last year, over two and a half million cars were stop- ped and from them, 171,000 ears of corn, containing 2,000 corn borer lar- vae, were taken. In doing this, there has been some friction; but usually the difficulties have been ironed out satisfactorily. The steamship compa- nies, operating on the lakes have faith- , fully burned all refuse from the din- ~ ing departments of the boats. Rail- '1' road officials have also cooperated to the fullest in the proper disposal of garbage from their dining cars. From the conference it was evident that the burden of the control meas— ures must fall upon the farmers them- selves. It is not improbable that, to keep the pest within reasonable con- trol, drastic changes in farm manage— ment may be necessary. For instance, in Ontario, where the corn is cut and put into the silo or fed out and the refuse reasonably well disposed of, the increase in the number of borers was far less than where the corn was bogged down. It seems certain that a general policy of cleaning the prem- , ides each fall of all vegetative growth *in which borers may winter, will ulti- ‘jmately become the regular program of farmers Where this pest reigns. ' 'Whether such control work will be "voluntary or compulsory, remains to be seen. Massachusetts has a law compelling farmers to fall plow their ' aground. This law, according to its, given at the, conference, is effective. Ohio’ 8 spring clean-up meas: ure appears to be giving favorable re- sults. The aptness with which farm- ers learn the thingsvtodo, and the gen: eral spirit with which they’go about the matter, will, to a large degl‘ém de- cide the course necessary to pursue. The contention was", made by Penn- ’ sylvania and New York delegates that the clean-up work‘was the'community’s job. The fact‘inthat this work is of more consequence to the other fellow than to the oWner of the farm‘already infested, seems to confirm this posi- tion. If this position is taken, then some method of financing the clean- up is necessary. There are certain definite things with respect to this pest for the farm- er to do. 1. He should cut his corn stubble as short as possible, to leave the fewest number of larvae in the field. 2. The corn should be put into the silo where the action of the juices de- stroys the pest; or, it should _be fed Program of Actzan ,out and, in the spring, all the corn-' stalk butts and cobs should be piled and. burned.“ Shreddingthe fodder and the careful Working of the refuse into ,the manure pile, also destroys a high per cent of the larvae. 3. Late fall plowing of the corn field is effective in disturbing the life cycle of the insect. This measure has been proven effective in several districts, as reported at this conference. 4 Where the ground is not plowed, the breaking down of the stubble by dragging a log 01 steel rail over them "when they are frozen and, if possible, the collecting and burning of the stubs furnish further means of control. 5. Planting corn that matiires in a. short period of time at the latest pos- sible date reduces the percentage of- borers. I Farmers living in infested areas ought voluntarily, to practice these measures religiously. The infested areas of Michigan are all of the coun- ties of Monroe, Wayne. Oakland, Ma- Michigan W271 I mpect HE corn crop of America is threatened by the European corn borer, with tremendous loss. This danger is not remote, but in parts of southern Ontario large fields, over an extensive area, are in many cases ‘entirely ruined by the borer. Professor R. H. Pettit states that in Monroe county, Michigan, a few fields show as high as twenty-five per cent infestation and the counties bor- dering on the lake in the southeast are all in the infested area. The borer is now found as far west as Livingston and Shiawassee counties in Michigan. It is advancing without pause, al- most according to the prophecies of leading entomologists, leaving destruc— tion in its wake, where well establish- ed. The Ontario farmers are many of them giving up corn because of the borer damage. No measures of eradi- cation, or very satisfactory measures of control, have been devised. Corn is Michigan’s leading crop, and the leading crop of America, and of the world, from a standpoint of value. Any great lessening in p-roduciton of corn means a tremendous economic readjustment of American agriculture. It is almost a certainty that the corn borer will, in a very few years, bring about a complete change in our meth- ods of handling corn and with the grave possibility of the curtailment of corn as a leading crop in many sec— tions. ' The corn borer situation is, there- fore, a matter of tremendous import— ance. In view of the speed of its pen- etration, Dean Shaw and Director Baldwin have concluded that it is ad- visable to request all county agents in Michigan corn-growing counties to travel over and see the damage done on the ground, bringing as many farm- ers as they can in their cars and in- viting all that are interested. The damage done by this creature and the nature of its attack, can only be understood by seeing it in the field. A number of Michigan corn men who have attended a recent field meeting in Ontario are convinced that it is of the utmost importance that Michigan _ ready in state.

BLACK TEETH. What is the cause or causes of black teeth in pigs, and what should be done to prevent it?—B. B. Pigs are born with sharp little tusks which are either black, or soon be- come black. They are shed eventually like any other animal’s baby teeth. The only harm they do is to scratch- the faces of their litter mates in fight- ing for the best place to nurse, or sometimes make the teats of the moth- er sore. Little trouble is experienced except in the case of large litters when, for a few days while they are finding their proper places at the ud- der, there is stiff competition. In this case it is good practice to break them off with a small pair of nippers. The theory that black teeth cause pigs to do poorly is not well founded, and is based upon superstition rather than common sense. The teeth are but a natural part of the pig; but if he is not doing well, ’the shedding of them will no doubt be delayed. Black teeth should, therefore, be considered theeffect of unthriftiness rather than the cause—Pope. WITNESSES FOR CITIZENSHIP.

My two-months-old pigs eat a great deal of chicken manure. They seem to like it, being crazy after it. What is the cause of this, and will it hurt the pigs in any way?——J. K. It is not uncommon for pigs to eat chicken manure. It does not hurt them. The fact that they crave it, however, would indicate a lack of some necessary element in their ration. ”an. Ad (Jinn I“; 500141.! Sou-wed ("met u ‘0». h Until-ed [Alan-l; u m .n on Chicken, manure is rich in nitrbgen, the element composing, in large part, the protein of food, which is respon- : sible for growth in the animal.

I have a lot of wheat screenings from the elevator that are about two thirds chess and one-third, more or less, of shrunken wheat, such as the elevator screens out. I would like to know if it would be all right to have this ground to mix 'with other ground feed for milch cows or hogs, or is there no feeding value in the chess? Would it be apt to cause digestive troubles because of so much of it be- ing chess? I can feed it to chickens and they will leave the chess, but have mgi'e ‘gmifi my flock of hens require. There are no feeding tables giving the food analysis of chess. But it is safe to say that it has a fair feeding value. Many times it has been fed with satisfactory results. It is best to grind it and mix it with other grain. Chickens are shy about eating any new grain. If you bring your chicks up on Wheat, and then suddenly change to corn, they will at first refuse ‘to eat the corn, but in a short time they learn to eat the corn readily. This ground chess and wheat screen‘- ings will be heavy feed, and care must be taken not 'to feed too much of it. Pound for pound, it will take the place of most other grains. PAYMENT OF TAXES.

MILK TEST VARIES. We are selling milk to a factory on a butter—fat test, and our test will vary sometimes as much as three points in two weeks. We mix the warm and cold milk together and we wondered if it would cause the test to drop or test lower by this mixing, and how much? This milk is from the same cows, and they are practically fed the same all the time. Has a variation in a butter-fat test of milk from this cause ever been tried out?-—H. W. B. Milk tests are continually varying. The cow does not give the same quals ity of milk every milking, but the av- erage is practically the same. As soon as milk is drawn from the cow, the butter-fat begins to separate and come to the top because it is lighter than the milk. Most variations in testing come from the fact that it is very 'diificult to get samples of milk that are exactly alike. The majority of er— rors in testing milk, and which cause dissatisfaction, are because it is ex~ tremely difficult to get a correct sam~ ple. When your milk stands over night, much of the cream has risen to the top, and it is next to impossible to get it reincorporated with the milk as it was before. Two- samples taken from this milk will differ. That may be the reason why your tests vary three points. Many times tests vary more than three points.

ENGLISH FARMERS PREVENT .‘ * Bust. \l T is difficult to find mes stemrust in England, but this was not always so., More than 200 years ago English farmers complained that black rust ruined grain‘crops growing near bar— berry busheis,‘ so they shoWed' their good sense by destroying the bushes. They stopped the-rust by killing the bushes. on which it got its start in the spring. So thoroughly did the Eng- lish farmers exterminate the destruc- tive barberry that one can drive for ' miles through the country districts without finding a single bush. _ One English botanist told an Amer- ican investigator that he could drive from London to Cambridge, 3. distance of about fifty miles, without being able to find a single bush. There are many _' hawthorn (hedges, but the barberry hedges are almost a thing of the past; _' and so is black stem rust. English plant pathologists are convinced that ' the eradication. of the barberry has solved the black stem rust problem in England. In Wales the situation is quite ,dif- ' tferent. The farmers in that country have not yet destroyed their barberry bushes. W. H. Broadbent, of the Min- istry of Agriculture, investigated the situation in three counties in 1920. In one of them he found barberries on sixty farms out of the 100 which he visited. In another county he found bushes on thirty farms out of'the forty Which he visited. In the third county, in which a systematic search was not . made, he found barberry bushes in fourteen parishes. In this county he found one hedge 100 yards long and another about thirty yards long. Furthermore, in these three counties he found seventy-four outbreaks of rust, and in every case barberry bush- es were near the fields. A representative of the United States Department of Agriculture trav- eled many miles in various parts of England and found no trace of black stem rust, except near three barberry bushes which were located by an emi- nent English scientist. in Scotland the only stem rust which could be found was near some barberry bushes in a hawthorn hedge. Near the bushes the rust was abundant; elsewhere there was none. British agriculturists state that black rust is practically un- known in England and Scotland, except near barberry bushes. In the grain growing districts of Wales the responsibility of the bar- berry bushes for rust outbreaks is ab— solutely clear. The farmers are be- ginning to realize this, and they no doubt will stop the rust by killing the bushes, as the English have already done. It is a high tribute to the good sense of the English farmers that they eradicated the barberry, even without the aid of the law. They were among the first to realize the destructive ef- fect of this worse than worthless bush. They preferred to destroy barberries rather than to permit the barberries to destroy their grain, and they have their reward. They no longer fear the dreaded black. stem rust. They have prevented it by digging their barberry bushes. ,. cher’flcountries of Europe have had equally, goodresults. '7I_..',_The Favored a .- .

Some of f these make the orchards the first con- ‘ sideratlon when it comes to cultivat- ing, and others give their trees second ‘ attention, putting in their spring crops, the cats, corn, potatoes, and Other things; and after these are out of the way, they give the orchards whatever ' work» they think is required. Gener- ‘ally theground is plowed, the last of ' May or some time early in June. ‘ . Renting Changes Methods». 1 The first class usually begin with In disk barrow as soon as the ground ;.is in condition to work in the spring, , or not much later, and repeat the bar- Irowlng as‘ frequently as necessary. ‘ Now, this line of thought is suggest- }ed by the behavior of a certain or- 7ichard, covering a period of several years under these two methods of handling. It chances to be a. pear or- chard, but that is perhaps immaterial. Any other kind of trees would have probably acted the same under the same treatment. For a good many years this orchard has been cultivated under the first method. The ground was disked early and as often as needed. But in 1922 it was rented and has been since until this season, and has been managed the other way. The ground has been plowed late in the spring and some times harrowed afterwards and some- times the furrows left as turned, the plowing being all the cultivation given during the season. For quite a. long time, under the first way of handling, the annual crop was from 500 to 1,500 , bushels. Since the change in the man- ‘ ner of cultivating, the yearly'yield has been from 200 down to less than “sev- enty—five bushels. Cuts Feeding Rootlets. One naturally wonders what should make such a difference in the fruiting in this orchard. The seasons have not been particularly unfavorable, it has been well sprayed and the fruit has been'of good quality. It never has been heavily pruned, and, since being rented, next to no pruning has been done. Occasionally a cover crop was put in before, but more often the weeds came up, and, since renting, weeds have increased year by year and have made a fairly good covering. _There has been some psylla, but this pest has been in the orchard for years. The trees simply have not blossomed; and why? ' 'The main difference in the manage- ment of this orchard has been in the manner of cultivating, and this is prob~ ably what has made the difference in blossoming. It is the habit of trees, as soon as growth 'starts in the spring, to throw out a system of fine feeding rootlets and these very soon form a fine network, completely filling the surface wherever plant food can be found. By the first of June, When vigorous growth is taking place, this system of feeding rootlets is well es- tablished. If anyone has seen nursery . trees that have started to grow before planting out, he may have noticed that with the opening of the buds the small white rootlets have grown out an inch or more in a. surprisingly short time; or how the disk will turn up a network of these roots in soft _ estingas well as practical sub-g .5.ij and n0w is a very proper time " mam W an saw. cos a new man this network of roots has cmmetely filled the-surface, as it does they. the first .offiJune, and then the. pound is plowed—quite deep- ly, a c0nsiderable" portion of the feed— ing system is cut away and the ability of the tree to gather "nourishment is correspondingly reduced. ' It ‘is evident that to thus deprive the trees of so much of their feeding roots at the time when they are mak- ing their most vigorous growth must be a severe shock which takes a con- siderable time to recover from. Soon after this in mid-summer, the trees form the blossom buds for the next season’s crop, and it is probable that the trees do not come back sufficiently to form these buds, and consequently the blossoming the following spring is light and the crop short the next sea- son. This would seem to. offer an explanation of 'the failure of’ this or- chard to set blossoms and produce a. crop of fruit. Disking vs. Plowing. Some men imagine that it is neces‘ sary to plow their orchards, that disk- ing is not thorough enough, or deep enough, or something. Of course, if the} ground is too grassy, or if it is bare and becomes too dry and hard to harrow, as is too often the case by the first of June, then plowing is nec- essary if the ground is worked at all. But which would injure trees more—- to cut away the feeding roots by plow- ing or to let the ground go Without cul- tivating——is something of a question. Possibly shallow plowing might be of some ‘good, but there is no question about early cultivating being decidedly better. And less time would be re- quired to go over the ground two or three times with the disk than once with the plow. If a crop of weeds or some cover crop that dies in the fall is on the ground, the disk will chop this up and work it into the soil very effectively, and considerable grass can also be worked down if taken early while the ground is moist and soft. ls Fall Plowing Better? But if there is a sod heavy enough to need plowing, it is wise to consider now if it would not be better to plow the ground this fall than to leave it until spring when other work may be pressing and the plowing delayed un- til the trees may be seriously injured by such working. Some might fear winter injury from such treatment, but there is doubtless'small danger from this. Many orchards go through the winters repeatedly with the ground around the trees bare, and such ground will freeze deeper than freshly turned sod. FRUIT GROWERS SHOULD ADVER- TISE.

FRUIT EATING CAMPAIGN. N “eat more fruit” campaign is be- ing carried on in Great Britain, according to Edwin Smith, department ground where it cuts deeper in later cultivatings. ' Cultivation Sends Roots Down. Where cultivation is begun early be- fore growth has started, these new feeding roots do not enter the loose earth that is stirred up; and if later workings do not go much deeper than of agriculture specialist in foreign marketing, who suggests that it should have the enthusiasfi0§upport of Amer- ican fruit growers.

They naturally turned to their Jamaican: celleges and governmental _ departments. = pioneering in this field, very little in formation was available and few knew ’ the best procedure to follow. The call .made upon the public agencies was 'met as, occasion required or expedi- ' ency demanded. . Public agencies had no fundamental f policies about cooperation. There was in many quarters a distrust of the pos- sibilities or the advisability of, this ‘ type of agricultural organization. No -‘ definite stand was taken one. way or “the other. 'The functions of the col- -lege or other public agency in this f field'were not known. A definite pol- ‘ icy was not adopted. To overcome this defect in the state ' of Michigan, a meeting of agricultural ' leaders was called last spring and a 'statement ”of policy submitted and - adopted. This policy, which had the ' approval of the State Board of Agri- culture and representatives of the co- ? operative exchanges, is as follows: A Statement of‘ Policy Toward Agri- cultural Cooperation. The Michigan State College believes that it should tell the farmers and public of the state what opinions it _ holds toward agricultural cooperation, what attitude it proposes to take to- ward farmers’ organizations, and what activities it intends to exercise in this V ~field. We believe that cooperation in agri- culture should be encouraged and that jthere are certain advantages which come from it. These advantages are: 1. It awakens farmers to the nec- ‘ ‘ essity‘. of understanding marketing problems as an essential step toward their improvement. 2. It gives farmers information about market processes and enables 3. It aids in the dissemination of crop and market news, in the estab- lishment of grades, and in better pack— ing and handling practices which have resulted in benefits to the consumer as well as to the farmer. 4. It gives the farmer a knowledge- of the conditions of supply and de- mand, and therefore places him more nearly on a parity with those who are buying his product. 5. It gives the farmer a greater bargaining power in the market. 6. It permits the farmer to perform marketing services for himself in in- stances where privately owned agen- cies are not doing this adequately. 7. It gives the farmer a marketing agency which holds his interests par- amount. 8. It permits the farmer to get the benefits of wholesale buying. 9. It aids in bringing about cheap- er and better production. 10. It offers the most helpful ap- proach to the problem of reducing marketing costs. We hold the following opinions about agriculture and marketing: 1. That everything possible should be done to make rural life more whole- some, increase the standard of living in the country, eliminate as many of the business risks of agriculture as possible, increase the return to farm- ers for the use of their capital and for their labor, keep at a minimum the cost of taking produce to the consum- er, and hold an energetic, industrious and moral citizenship in the country. 2. That sound cooperation in agri- culture is beneficial and should be en- couraged wherever the conditions of sible for it to succeed. 3. That in those communities where the training or temper of the people is averse to cooperative action, there should be education to over- come these defects. 4. That the marketing agencies op- and industrial system are essential and are performing a valuable service. armature 7‘ Since, everyone was - In the days before radio. one or two town mew mg: supplied the matter for a month of talks on round t nave in the general store. iflening in on the campaign Today, the most distant farmer listens in the making of history.

County throughout the state work with the Poultry Depart- ment of the Michigan State College, be able to get a, line on production costs. Each demonstrator agrees to keep these records and furnish the _ .figures to the department, who, in re- turn, will tabulate them and furnish them to the people who have entered; also inspects their flocks twice a year .and gives advice on care and manage- - ment, feeds and feeding, etc. On the 135 demonstration work farms which furnished figures last year, it'was shown that on an average, they made a‘net profit per bird, over feed costs, of‘$2.59. This was done mostly under ordinary farm conditions. As ,in everything else, it becomes absolutely necessary to get a line on production costs before much can be done towards successful production. The manufacturer must know his unit cost of production, so must the bank- er, the barber, and the transportation man. The various phases of agricul- ture are not exempt from this rule, and without proper records‘as to cost, the producer is merely guessing. For obvious reasons, but a.few dem- onstrations of this kind can be carried on in each county, which, when spread all over the state, make an amount of record-keeping and tabulating that taxes the resources of the poultry de- partment of the college. STOCK FEATH ER SLOWLY. CCASIONALLY certain birds”v?r'fii develop plumage very slowly. They should be marked and not used as breeding stock after their plumage has developed, when they can be con- fused with birds that have feathered earlier. I have frequently noted this trouble with some very narrow—barred Barred Plymouth Rocks. Some of the cockereis which developed very slowly seemed to have the finest of lacy bar- ring after feathers were fully grown. Such birds are apt to be very slow in maturing. The birds that develop an abundance of plumage early in life seem easier to raise. The cockerels develop rapidly and the pullets lay at an early age. I think the lack of plumage may be due to deficient vital- ity, combined with breeding from 081“ tain birds which have been slow in feather development. In addition, the bird that is nearly naked becomes badly sunburned. I think the burning of the skin may have an additional in- fluence in retarding feather develop- ment on birds which are already de- ficient in plumage. If such culls are killed while young, it will pay best, as they are seldom profitable. Some will develop good bodies for fryers, but it does not pay to keep them beyond that age. Slow feathering chicks need brooder heat longer than rapidly feathering chicks.~ They suffer and become stunted be- cause of the chilling during spring winds and rains. Fortunately, a great deal can be done to‘ eliminate this trouble "if you cull out all the slow feathering birds as soon as they are located—K. POULTRY TROUBLES. N ..

We are feeding hensw wheat and oats. .They have free range. ‘ Would also like to ask about our geese. We have the Embden, two geese and a. gander. At first they laid dou- ble-yolked eggs, dye or six. About half of the rest hatched and when the gos- lings were three or four' weeks old. they got weak, walked on leg joints" instead of feet, and finally died. We have only one left out of fifteen or twenty goslings‘.—W. \C. G. The birds that breathe hard may have bronchitis, caused by roosting in a draught, breathing dust or some for« eign material lodged in the threat. The deaths may have been caused by congestion of the lungs which has de- veloped into pneumonia. Try about five drops of turpentine in a. table- spoonful of castor oil for the bron- chitis. Isolate the bird in a dry, well- ventilated place, free from draughts.‘ Many such cases are prevented by teaching the young stock to roost early so they will not overcrowd at night and become overheated. Then they go out on the cool ground in the morning and easily catch cold. Treat- ment for pneumonia in fowls is seldom successful. The loss of the goslings may be due to a. weakness in the breeding stock. If breeding geese are overfat, the eggs do not hatch well. Try cutting down the corn in their ration this winter, and use more ground cats. A mash of equal parts by weight, of bran. ground oats and corn meal is good for geese. Possibly the goslings lacked sufficient range. A grassy range where they can obtain plenty of exer- cise helps to reduce leg weakness and other losses among goslings. The trouble may be caused by worms. Try using one-fourth pound of epsom salts, one-fourth pound sulphur, and two ounces of powdered cc/pperas in twen< ty-five pounds of mash to destroy the parasites. PULLET WITH LIVER TROUBLE. We have just lost one of our young pullets and we find that her liver is, all mushy and in pieces. We have an« other one sick. Can you tell us what this disease is called, and if there is any cure for it?——Mrs. H. H. T. The pullet may have been overfat and had fatty degeneration of the liv— er. In such cases the normal cells of the liver become replaced with fatty cells, and the liver becomes soft and easily breaks up. This trouble cannot be treated successfully after it occurs, but can usually be prevented by pro« viding the birds with exercise and green feed. Occasionally a bird might show a tendency to liver trouble and accumulation of fat, even though the ' remainder of the flock are in the best: of condition. BUMBLE FOOT. My very best layers have hard' bunches in middle of foot, about the size 'of a kernel of corn. Some have them on one side of foot. Please give me a. cure or treatment—M. Y.

' ‘ , FFIE was agirl in our Qfi‘lce, very E efficient, always making herself acquainted with new‘work. As changes occurred Effie went from one place to another and always made good, because she was prepared. Fin- ally she left us with a happy smile on her face'and a. gold band on her finger, for a job with which we lad nothing to compete. In less than a. year I heard Effie had a baby. And here comes the point of my story; the eflij cient Ellis was absolutely unprepared for this newest and most important job of all. She was scared pallid with the responsibility and didn’t know a thing to do. in life than young folks who have sud~ denly ceased from being boy and girl to become father and mother. They don’t know what to do. How should they? Our systems of education have no course of study for such responsi- bilities. A little bit about physiology, a. trifle about hygiene, and if the girl is lucky enough to go to college she may be one of the favored few to sit under the few women in Michigan col- leges who teach something about moth- erhood. But public schools teach noth- ing, not even the high schools. Where There are few more pathetic objects , is a girl~ to get this needhd training? Teach it. in the home! .mandate'. But who will teach it in the home? The mothers and grand‘ mothers whose ideas have been pain- fully acquired from a mass of misin- formation and superstition? Very well. They have \disca-rded the worst of the stuff and haVe clung to the best, we will suppose. But that woulrnot be considered very sane instruction in any other important subject. And how about the girls whose mothers and grandmothers have no gift for teach- ing, and having suffered many things themselves have reached the conclu« sion that their girls must do likewise. And the young fathers: who instructs them? ' I’m not solving this problem; mere‘ 1y presenting it for you to think about. With our present social ideas I see reasons why the public schools can only giVe the first steps; our high schools might go further; our colleges might well teach all they know. The churches and Christian associations could profitably instruct young men and young women in preparation for their responsibilities. Meantime we will answer such puzzling questions about parenthood as you present by letter, and tell you of some books that you may buy. NEWS . THE COYOTES MUST GO. A CONSERVATION department con- servation officer in Keweenaw has destroyed thirteen coyotes in Ke- Weenaw county, this summer. Coyotes are reported by sportsmen to be more numerous than deer in that county. There is a. good deal of timber land—~ second—growth and otherwise—in Ke- weenaw county, where the abandoned mining locations of a half century ago or more are well brushed over, and this affords fine game cover. It is recognized, if partridge and other small game are to have a'chance in this district, that the coyotes must go. MR. MYERS" HERD LEADS.

LEONARD HILL GOES TO BIG DAIRY SHOW. LEONARD HILL, of Gogebic coun- ty, was one of the two boys who placed first at the Michigan State Fair at Detroit in calf club work. He will thus get a free, trip to the Nations a1 Dairy Show at Indianapolis. Leon- ard started in club work, he says, in 1922 when he was twelve years of age. His club career from that time on is a. steady progress, with numerous firsts to his credit at county fairs, farmers' round-ups at Chatham, etc. He has given scientific attention to his calves and the results speak for themselves. PLANS FOR DUNBAR SCHOOL. ' I 'HE Michigan State College is plan- ' ning what use shall be made of the Dunbar school property in That is (the. the peninsula. The figures are: 1,147 pounds of milk and 42.5 pounds of but- ter-fat per cow for the month. Twelve reports of cow testers afforded the data for the report. OUTSIDE BUYERS AFTER CLOVER- LAND CATTLE. A SALE of pure-bred cattle took place at Manistique, October 1. The sale was held in the cattle barn of the fair grounds. Mr. E. G. Amos, assistant state leader of county agents, assisted with descriptions of- the animals offered for sale. The stock went off well at moderate prices, it is reported. A large number of outside buyers, it is stated, were present. CLOVERLAND CLUBS CAPTURE LAURELS.‘ HE Upper Peninsula club members took three first places at the Mich- igan State Fair. Hazel Casemore, of Manistique, was selected as the healthiest girl in Michigan.

GOGEBIC county farmers, late in September, received a carload of 25,000 pounds of pyrotol. This was wanted for stump-blasting mostly. It; is presumed to be the last such ship~ ment that will be available. There are 273 sticks to each 100 pound-s. The cost was $8.75 per hundred pounds r“. o. b. farms. The farmers wanted this: explosive mostly to add to clearing al- ready made on their farms. ' ' ,.. - A.“ _/. ,.-. - v_~\.,c M“ .. .-’ «1.. ,-A\,c , MICHIGAN 'Hes‘os, In ‘3 - H sans. " 7 ICHIG’AN dairy, herds have made _ a remarkable showing. in herds averaging 300 pounds of butter-fat pro- duction; Michigan has 813'dairy herds whose average butter-fat production is over 300 pounds of butter-fat in one year whose owners are enrolled for the 300-pound butter—fat-honor' roll in the National .Dairy Expdsition. . The 813 herds represent eighty-six Michi- gan Cow Testing . Associations which have finished a year’s work between July 1, 1924, to June 30, 1925. Only one other state, ,Wisconsin, has a larg- er number of .300-pound herds, namely .934. Wisconsin has more than 160 Cow Testing Associations, while Mich- igan has‘ 106 of these associations in operation. The percentage of herds making above 300 pounds of butter-fat production is greater in Michigan than in Wisconsin. Other states which are listed on the honor roll of the Na- tional Dairy Exposition are Minnesota, 387; Pennsylvania, 259; Iowa, 173; Ohio, 150; Indiana, 145; Illinois, 115,” and several other states with less than 100 herds each. THE DAIRYMAN HAS REGULAR HABITS. ‘ I Nthe first place, the man who keeps cows should have regular habits, for the same reason that men in other lines, who succeed best, have them. It is the best way to work. You can do more, and do it in a better way, than where each day’s efforts must be separately planned; at least, so we find it in the management of our herd. Then, too, we know from experience with cows that they respond to regu- lar care. Cows are creatures of habit. When you do new things about them, or do old things at a different time or in some new way, the cows know it and become more or less uneasy. The least worrying is certain to inter- fere with the milk flow. No other line of live stock, unless it be the trotting or running horses, have so highly or- ganized nervous systems as have dairy cows. If you intend getting the maximum of results, you must create an atmosphere of quiet and peace about the cows. This means dollars to 'the dairyman. He cannot afford to let some ignorant neighbor tell him that it is all “bash.” Changes, naturally, must be made. From season to season, shifts are nec- essary in the management of the herd. However, thesecan be brought about without disturbance. We make them gradually. “A ‘little at a time,” is our motto in going from dry feed to pasture, or vice versa. If we have occasion to rearrange the animals in the stalls, or do any other thing out of the ordinary, then we take special ”precaution to go about these duties as well as the regular ones, with more than the usual amount of care. The scales and the test tube show that it pays—D. Smith & Son. SIZING UP THE FEED SITUATION. UR national feed bunks contain about sixteen per cent more grain and other concentrates to last through the coming twelve months ” than they held a year ago. The combined tame and wild hay supply is about sixteen per cent less than it was last year. Pastures and ranges are short, so that it will be necessary in most sections to begin feeding harvested crops ear- lier. than in the fall of 1924. There are fewer animals to be- fed than last year. A reduction of nine per cent in the number of hogs, of five m N. Y. per cent in cattle other than milk serouNostock‘ are more than enough to offset increases in milk cows and sheep. Good prices for finished live stock; and for live stock. products, on the other hand, will have the effect of stimulat- ing liberal feeding. . _ It is out of the question to appraise the relative importance of these ele-_ Relative Quantities of Different Feeds. fiments in the feed situation except in a very general way. Ordinarily, of the harvested feed crops, the grains and concentrates are twice as important as the hay crop. This meansthat the increase of sixteen per cent in con- (Continued on page 380).

If reliable may refer Cop- ,per Falls, Keweenaw. Amateur also made reply and received repeated dis- tress signals, after which all signals ceased. Package freighter “Grand Marais,” master Henry Stanton, Boynton and Downey, mates, nineteen crew, left this port yesterday 4:00 p. m. for Du— luth; met heavy ice but got through; passed Granite Island light 8:30 p. m. Vessel making distress signal may be “Grand Marais” helpless somewhere off Keweenaw. Tugs attempting to leave this port are meeting very heavy ice. All vessels passing Keweenaw warned watch for signals or boats or wreckage “Grand Marais.” Milter turned his head. “Tell ’em we expect to reach position they’ve re- ported ’bout three o’clock,” he called. “Tell ’em we’ll make sure nobody’s there before we -go on..” Tinsman nodded and climbed down. The old captain turned once more to the north, his keen blue eyes sweep- ing the shortening ,horizon. The snow was about to set in! Beneath him the vessel Was pitching and rolling in the ever-rising wind. The “Grand Marais” helpless off Keweenaw in that wind and sea! Twenty-two men aboard her! He knew none of them except Stanton and Boynton by name, but he knew the ship—an old, high-decked steamer, white-painted and mostly wood, with old machinery, undoubtedly; just the sortcf hooker to snap her shaft 01' burst a main feed pipe in a blow; and then, God help her, with that ugly, rocky coast of Keweenaw down wind and her high, wooden sides catching the gale. The day was the fourth of Decem— ber, at the very end of the season of possible navigation on Superior. Ofl‘i— cially, the ports of Marquette, Ashland, L’Anse, and Passage Island already were closed, and, in physical fact, locked and sealed with ice. Du- luth, far to the west, and protected by the west gales from the onslaught of does, might remain “open”-~—that meant passable—for a week yet, but the Soo in the east, toward which the “Blaine” was headed, was fast freez- ing. The 800, of course, is the gate of the Great Lakes. When it closes, Superior is shut. So each of the’ dozen ships still left on the lake was racing to reach the Soo and, get through be- fore the freeze-up. “Ice; drift ice ahead, sir!” came lback the hail from the lookout in the ow.

Abaft the bridge, the “Elaine’s” steam whistle burst the three short blasts of a steamer under way through snow; and back on the wind from the northeast came the sound of the “How- ell’s” steam whistle. Until two o’clock nothing more was to be heard, and nothing at all was to be seen; the radio bore no more signals having to do with the “Grand Marais” or efforts for its relief except that, about half past one, Marquette wirelessed that the tugs, which had been trying to leave the harbor, had given it up. At two o’clock—in accordance with the agreement by which Captains Mil- ter and Fosdick were to inform each other of any change of course or speed ~Fosdick wirelessed to the “Blaine:” “I am making fourteen knots; bearing now east-north east.” This meant that after more than a hundred miles of safe going, there was creeping in on them from the south the ugly, barbed- point. of Ke‘ weenaw, all mountain, mine, rock, and deadly shoal. Here, if a skipper is weak, or not sure of himself, he longs to edge off and off. Of course it is, in such weather, the safe and sensible thing to do; that was what Fosdick was doing. “East-northeast.” He had pointed north of his previous course. the stern, unemotional 'balance sheets of the Red Arrow Line proved that he was by far the most extravagant of its skippers, and the “Blaine” the most unreliable ship of the line.

The Lord knew that when any craft called for help anywhere from Granite Point to Pancake Shoals, Clem Milter was nev- er going to keep in mind a little mat- ter-like an appointment for four thou- sand tons of iron in Chicago. Consequently, in the seasons of high costs and hard money, he could no longer be forgiven. That incident with the “Nerenden” finally had exhausted patience with him. There‘the “Ner- enden” had been, hard and fast aground on Gull Island, with her crew in no real danger; but Milter had gone in to try to help them. He had ac- complished nothing. The “Nerenden” broke in two and her crew got away in their own boats. So Milt-er scraped his bottom for nothing, and brought his ship, almost in a sinking state, into Duluth, where it required twenty days in dock-for repairs at appalling figures. Now the “Blaine” was out, with Milter on the bridge; but no one knew better than he that in all human probability it was his last run. For the sake of his long service with the line, the directors were letting him finish the season before they would “retire” him—with a testimonial din- ner perhaps. Young Heron, his mate, would be on the bridge next April. Milter, while holding his own course, to keep his ship close to the Kewee- naw rocks, wondered only whether he was actually becoming too old and Acivz'tz'er 0f 21/ Acrer—-“fl7zd T/zdt Sett/er it, Paw Amer!” ‘. reckoning he was there.

He reported to Milter that he had slowed to seven knots and was circling to‘ left in his search for the ship. ‘ For three hours without encounter- ing each other—without the steam whistle of one being heard by the oth- er—the two vessels searched for the “Grand Marais,” for boats or wreck- age, and found nothing. At six o’clock the storm was still. blowing; the gale, if anything, was in- creasing; and the thermometer showed ten below. Night had come then, of course—the blackest of black nights ha .- .. "M. w; penciled with white where.the snow; scurried in front of the searchlight,‘ but elsewhere blind-black and thick. The “Howell” for some time had been ’ talking with Marquette; of courSe Keeler on the-J‘Blaine” picked up both sides of the exchange. Fosdick in- quired whether Marquette had any on iginal information—except the broken : messages said to have been received i by the boy who made the first report —that the ship in trouble was the ! “Grand Marais” off Copper Falls. No, % Marquette admitted. Then Fosdick wanted to know whether there was any reliable evidence that any ship was in trouble off Keweenaw. “No,” Marquette admitted again. “Grand Marais” had left Mar« quette last night, and since eight~thir~ ty had not been heard from; but, ex,» cept for the patched-up “strays” which . the boy had relayed, there was no proof that the original distress signals, recorded at Marquette were made by her or any vessel off Keweenaw or elsewhere in Superior. At about that time, a ship on Lake Michigan, the “Elenwood,” had been making distress signals. It was possible that these were the strays picked up by Mara quette. Ten minutes later, the wirelessed, .therefore: , Have searched supposed position of ship possibly “Grand Marais” for three hours, hearing no signals and finding no evidence of wreck. _. At that time, accordingly, the “How« ell” abandoned the search, and pr0<_ ceeded on her course for the Soo. Her< on, who had gone off duty above when Tinsman began his watch, in person brought the information to Milter, who had been continuously on the bridge since two o’clock. The spurt of warmth and strength which sustained Milter when first he received the news of men in danger calling to him, had exhausted itself long ago; he was nerveless and weak now, and very cold. Even the hot black coffee brought him in a bottle, and of which he drank a quart, had ceased to stimulate him—but he would not go in. He wanted to be out where he could hear for himself whether on the wind there came the echo of shots or screams of men in ,open boats, and to see, as the searchlight shifted here and there, whether it lighted anything which might be wreckage. Young Heron, who had been below long enough to get warm, came up be- side him. “The ‘Howell’s’ going on. sir!” he yelled at Milter. “Fosdicks’ just heard from Marquette that prob- ably the ‘Grand Marais’ wasn’t in trou- “Howell” ble at all. They think now it was sig nals from the ‘Elenwood’ over on Michigan.” Frank R . Leet T: AL! m woman“. 5|CK'.

We ought to go on now, sir!” Milter felt himself giving in; how easy and agreeable to go on! All you’d have to do was to set your course north 3. bit to clear, without danger, those Keweenaw rocks you'd been hug- ging for three hours; and stop listens ing and straining your eyes and wor- rying; you’d .30 below and get warm and strong again. Go on! Take your ship through the 800, as Fosdick was taking his, and to Chicago, as your *directors paid you to do. “The ‘Howell’s’ gone ‘on, sir,” young Heron’s voice shouted again, in his impatience with a stubborn old man. “We’re going on now?” ' Clem Milter shook his head. . “We’ve been standing out too far all the time," he said. “Of course, we couldn’t find ’em. They’re blown agroundl”. And he descended'now to his pilot house to be within grip of his wheel, as he bore his ship about-and swung closer to that lee shore of rock and shoal, which he could not see. In that position, the lead could help him hardly at all, as everyone knows who has any familiarity with sound- ings in Superior; for, off Keweenaw, the water runs deep—Leighty fathoms ' and ninety almost to the shore; then, from five hundred feet below you, the rocks rise and, if you’re on them, that’s all. Hearing could not help him that night, for every shore signal was down wind; the sound of the surf was dOWn wind; and sight was almost a useless sense that night. As Milter piloted his ship, he reckon- ed subconsciously how far he steamed in this direction, subtracted from it the drift of the gale, allowed for the swing of the waves, and this told him Where he was. Thus, for three hours more, he guided the “Blaine,” with four thousand tons of ore in her hold, up the hidden coast of Keweenaw, turned and came back. By nine o’clock, the young men—- Heron and Tinsman—were certain he was crazy, and talked about taking the ship from him. . They did not guess it, but attimes they might have taken it almost with- out a struggle; for the old man felt. himself spent at last, and beaten. He was encountering ice almost cease— lessly now, and more and heavier ice heaped up before the “Blaine’s” bows all the time and the night was bitter cold. At nine o’clock, thinking of Fos- dick, he realized that the “Howell” by that hour had turned Manitou Island and was out in open water again on the free, southeast reach for the 800; by morning Fosdick would be in the bay and moving in his turn to the locks. Fosdick———Milter reckoned—— would get his ship through to Chicago. But Clem Milter knew that now he would never get the “Blaine” out of Superior; these last three hours of night and cold had determined that. He realized that by his own choice, and his own will, he had finally con- demned himself with the Red Arrow line. His wife, he thought, would under: stand him, and for what he tried to do, love him as much, though he had ruined himself by it; but the boys—— he thought—would only be sorry for him when they heard. They would say they were proud; but Clem sus- pected that they might feel contemp- tuous of him for getting so little out of his long, hard life. Neither of them would have anything to do with the water. Walt was in the real estate business in Detroit, and Clem owned a garage in Chicago; they were on their way to becoming rich; they would not be left at the end of their lives with nothing but a drawerful of watches to wind, and a cottage window to sit in and see the ships go by. At nine o’clock, the men of the “Grand Marais”—those who survived —had about given up hope of rescue. Of the twenty-two who had left Mar- quette, seven remained—five clinging to the foremast, two in the aftermast. Of the missing, six had been lost in the smash of the yawl when they at- tempted to get away from the sinking “Grand Marais;” the rest probably were swept off as the water came over. None of the seven survivors knew. Of the five on the foremast, no one knew, even, how many had reach- ed the spars of the aftermast; of the two aft, neither knew more than that some men were on the foremast. Among the five, an oiler named El- dridge had a pocket flashlight, which he burned now and then. But com- munication between the masts was im- possible; for the vessel had sunk in about thirty feet of water, with only her masts above the waves. Her mas- ter and second mate were among the 311581118, so First Mate Boynton, a man .about thirty years old, assumed what , command there was.

' ‘ hardest to‘ write'about. If. yen had the abOVe caption before you, what would you‘write pbout? It , Would, 'of course,“ be easy to be' senti- mental and from that to get to being slushy. But that is not Christian love. Love is a force which is more than sentiment: It travels all the way, in 'heat and cold and, deepe’rate weari- ness. so .that line‘of thought would 01: go far." Or,'you might take the cynical view and declare that there is no such thing'in this hard, matter- of~fact world as love. But in your heart of hearts you know that is not true. , Love does exist—«love of mother for! child, of' child for parent, of a man for- some great principle, of patriot for his country, of pious souls for God. It ‘is there, this principle is, and no getting away from it. If one holds there is no love in the world, he had better go off by himself and live in a hermit’s hut, where his scorching cyni- cism will not depress other people. The central truthsin First Corin- thians are,-Love and the Resurrec- tion. Chapters thirteen and fifteen are read more than any other-s, I sus- pect. And to think that these were writ- ten to a city noted for its immorality, its fast and loose living! It shows what lofty ideals were set before peo- ple by the loving expectation of the early apostles. . Suppose we re-write part of this im- mortal chapter on love, so as to bring it onto our plane of living. Thus: A gentleman suffereth long, and is kind. A gentleman envieth not; a gentleman vaunteth not himself, is not puffed up, doth not behave himself unseemly, seeketh not his own, is not provoked, thinketh no evil. ' AKE it another way: A lady suf- fereth long, and is kind; a lady envieth not, vaunteth not herself, is not puffed up, doth not behave herself unseemly. Supply Christian here, and see how it fills the situation. A Chris tian is not puffed up, doth not behave himself unseemly, seeketh not his own, is not provoked, thinketh no evil; re- joiceth not in unrighteousness, but re- joiceth in the truth; heareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Observe that Paul does not begin his chapter, “If you speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have no love, you are become as sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal,” as if he were scolding his correspond- ents. But he says, “If I speak with the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.” His per- ennial courtesy shows how he'had him- self learned the lesson of love. More than this, his whole life shows it. And that is the essence of love. Our very life and hearing are What tell the story. Some people talk about love in a. way that almost makes one hate it. Henry Drummond, famous author of “Natural Laws in the Spiritual World,” in his equally well—known address, “The Greatest Thing in the World,” sums up this chapter in this original and satisfying way: The spectrum of love his nine in- gredients: Patience—“Love suffereth Long.” Kindness—“And is kind.” Generosity~“Love envieth not.” Humility—“Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.” Courtesy—“Dom not behave itself unseemly.” Unselfishness—“Seeketh .own.” not her Good temper-7‘13 not easily pro- voked.” , _ ‘ ' Guilelessness—“Thinketh no evil.” Sincerity—“Rejoiceth not in in- iquity, but rejoiceth in ; the nu ."

It is easier to de- scribe it at work than to describe the thing itself.‘ Only Paul can do the lat- ter.‘ Read First Corinthians Thirteen every day, if you would have a. perfect description of love. But here is an instance or two. You‘will be able to supply others yourself. , Lady Antoinette Von Hoeffern was an Austrian of noble family. In 1837 she came over to the United States to work with her brother, a Roman Cath- olic missionary to the Indians, in Mich~ igan. Her first stop of any length was at Little Traverse, now the town of Harbor Springs. Later she went to Mackinac. In these pfaces she gave away money in the form of provisions to the Indians, and started schools for them. She instructed the children, visited the sick, and scattered good cheer and help wherever she could. She gave away a good deal of the wealth which her husband had left her. Going to Superior, she found herself in an epidemic of small—pox. Forget- ful of self, she worked night and day among the Indians, and contracted a disease which was within a year the cause of her death. At last, compelled to leave for want of health and strength, she returned to Austria where she collected money for the In- dian missions in Michigan and VVis- consin. NOTHER instance, altogether dif- ferent. Prince Peter Kropotkin was a Russian, who worked for justice among his fellow subjects and was im— prisoned for it. After long imprison— ment in the grim fortress of Peter and Paul, he escaped to England. He was a scientist of international reputation. Probably he was too revolutionary for most of us, but had we been reared in the atmosphere of oppression, in- trigue, and tyranny which were his' portion, we would have looked upon_ the world in a like manner. Of him it was said, “Seldom has there been a life so nobly conceived and liv- ed. He was an exile from the world of religion, as from the country he loved, but in exile he displayed in a glorified way some of the dearest things Jesus taught. “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren.” .Love looks forward. It does not grieve over the past. It is up with the day, and thanks God that there is an- other day to live, work and play. Christ had more reason for discour- agement than any man who ever liv- ed. Yet at the end He said, “I have overcome the world.” And in the clos- ing scenes of his earthly life, as the shadow of Calvary was already across his path, he performed a menial ser- vice for his companions, to teach them the undying character of love. Said John of this, “Having loved his own that were in the world, He loved them unto the end.” That is the character- istic of love. It does not burn awhile and flicker out. It endures to the end.

I don’t know whether anybody has noticed it, but more than half of the letters and articles that have been pub lished on the Merry Circle pages are er,” names of flowers, and the like. What you, or the others think about this, I can’t tell, but there is one thing I liked about the Circle which is being drowned out. the parent, and the boys and girls as the children. When you read these letters, how- ever, it seems either the members do not believe what they have written . . and do not want us to know who wrote it, or else they are doing it for a joke. '~ Most of these enthusiastic ideas as to what they wish to be are too won- derful to be jokes, and I would like to know who wrote them. Before a year has gone by, everyone will be . . writing under assumed names. 5 No one should be ashamed to tell “ what is in his mind, especially to us, who are of a kin, because we all be- long to the Circle. Maybe, Uncle Frank, you will think this is a. foolish letter and the other members will laugh, if this misses the waste basket, but I wish some other member would write and give their sentiments on this matter. I wish we could become a closer family than ever, instead of getting farther apart. It would really be nice to hear from past members, as to contests we could have and questions the members could discuss—One of the family, Geneva Kohlenberger, M.

We certainly do not want to put up a barrier to the bash- ful ones. So, it is really hard to draw the line. I am going to make this ruling, how- ever; that everybody put their name and address on each letter, even though they use a nom—de—plume. Here- after W. B. will get all letters without such name and address. Often I would like to write to those who have sent in good letters, and I can’t do it when they use nothing but false names. Besides, I would rather address a letter “Dear Mary” or “Dear. John," than "Dear Sweetheart,” “Dear Flapper,” "Dear Bobbie” (to a girl). or “Dear Black Knight,” etc. I might get into complications if I used some of those terms. I wish, however, that all would use their own names because, as Geneva says, it helps the family feeling which we want to keep strong in our Circle. Dear Uncle Frank: Please have another correspondence scramble soon. I have made thirteen friends already, so you see I enjoy them. Say, may I contradict whoever said boys weren’t supposed to be as good letter writers as girls? I have one M. C. “corrie” who is a boy and he writes just as nice, and sometimes nicer, letters than my other twelve girl cor- respondents, and he is my thirteenth one, too, by the way. Come on, H. W Prove that boys can write letters, once! Wake the rest of the M. C. boys up! Don’t think I’m a boy because I’m saying that boys can write as nice letters as girls, for I’m not; but I do hate to see boys taking the excuse that they aren’t letter writers, or rath- er, aren’t'supposed to be, because ink might stain their fingers—“Lilacs.” We’ll have scrambles. every little while. You apparently have a nice lot of “corries.” Isn’t it nice to write and receive letters? Some boys can write . good letters. And I know, because I was a boy myself. Please give your right name next time. Dear Uncle Frank: I have been a silent reader for some time, and have been going to write but have been busy, but could not help taking time to write in regard to the silly girl who signed herself the “Dear Flapper.” Who said the boys think more of a girl if she is a sport. I OUR LETTER BDX don’t believe it. They do for a while, but then it all wears off and they make fun of her, and find some sen- sible girl. I think that any girl who will smoke must be out of her head, and I agree with Uncle Frank’s an- swer to “Flapper's” letter in the Sep- tember 26 issue. This is my first attempt to write to you, so will make it short. I hope to see this in print and that the dear “Flapper” reads it for her benefit.— Just a Farm Girl. The assumed name, “Just a Farm Girl," sounds more sensible than “Flap- per,” doesn't it? Life’s experiences seem to indicate that Flappers often flop, while Farm Girls stay. However, Flappers occasionally turn out to be the finest kind of women. ’ .\ Dear Uncle Frank: I wrote you a few letters some time ago, and every week when the Mich- igan Farmer came, I looked at the Boys' and Girls page first, (of course), and was so disappointed that there wasn't a letter of mine in it. But, I come to find out, I never posted any of my letters, and worse yet, I never even put one of them in an envelope. Now, George Nichols, I believe you are every bit as bad as Herbert Estes, but, after all, you both are Just boys, and I guess they’re all alike—eall ex- cept my brothers.

But you don’t mind my rambling on like this, do you? If you do you might tell me so and I’ll Ye? obligingly quit writing. ‘ , _ our will, no doubt, wonder what made me write this letter. It was that fine letter, written by a girl in southern Florida, describing her country. I think I should like to correspond with that girl. I have never seen a letter from Bay City, nor one describing the surrounding country. Don’t think I have told you all there is to tell, for I could write pages and pages more. Many people think that there is noth- ing to do in Bay City, but if someone were staying with me for about two weeks (that would give us'tlme to hit the high spots), I think I could guar- antee them a good time, if they were good sports. Yours for a bigger and better Merry Circle, f‘Sweethea; t.” I like your ramblings, Sweetheart, even if I can’t use them all. But, next time you’ll have to disclose your iden- tity, or otherwise you won’t get into print. Yes, I guess boys and girls av- erage up pretty well. can it’s Dear Uncle Frank: We are sending twenty-five cents for the children’s radio at the Sanatorium. We have been wanting to earn some money for the M. C. Fund. One day my brother, Linwood, and I were going after~ the cows. Our dog, Charlie, ran ahead, and we found that he had caught a woodchuck. The mon- ey we are now sending is from the woodchuck scalp. We live near the Sanatorium, and we can see it from our house.—-Ola and Linwood Webb, R. No. 8, Howell, Michigan. - Thanks for your radio money. It is doubly welcome because you have earned it. Thank the dog for catching that woodchuck. Dear Uncle Frank: I’ll bet you think I am a good one for not writing sooner, after you sent me that prize dictionary. I think you are the ‘fgood one,” though, for giving me a prIZe after my dreadful descrip- tion of you. I know you don’t look like that, because I saw your picture in the Michigan Farmer two or three years ago, and there was nothing fun- ny about you at all. I partly agree with Herbert Estes, but, of course, being a girl, I can’t agree with him wholly after what he said about the girls. Herbert, I am going to tell you some- thing. You should be more careful about what you say about girls, be- cause you may find out some day that they are quite as good as the boys. You may say what you please about Dear Uncle Frank: I"glmwtguld like tot put 1 n regard o a ew thin in which he is mistaken. gs In the first place, Geo o, my name is Lura and not Laura. never used any powder or perfume in my life, and don’t know how to dance. en I need exercise I play base ball or foot- ball With my brother, who plays on the local high school team.

L1 Dear Uncle Frank: I suppose you think I ought to keep quiet for a change, but honestly I can’t. And if you think I write a lot you should hear me talk once, and you would rejoice to think that about 110 miles are between us, for “I chat- ter, chatter as I go.” I don’t hate boys, though—not by a long shot. In fact, I have seen one or two boys that I consider nicer than any girls I know. Some girls are two- faced~a quality which is not very of- ten found in boys. It seems that boys, as a rule, regard a promise as more important than girls do. I know sev- eral girls who think nothing at all of breaking a promise. On the whole, boys and girls are all pretty good, and none of us is better than the rest. I pre- sume some of the M. C. girls would jump at me if they could read the first part of this paragraph. / Have you ever been in or around Bay City? It’s a very '*nice country around here.

At least, many took part in it and got about everything right. Perhaps because it was easy was the reason that it proved popular.

He knew that to— night there was no possible help from the shore; for it. is a lonely, ugly stretch in there, with nothing but cop— per mines up in the hills. No one could possibly see them from the hills; and if someone guessed they were there, nobody could come out in small boats through the ice-filled water. The sole hope was from the lake; and every man could remember, ‘with- out-need of Boynton’s reminding, that after ‘the “Grand Marais” had become helpless, unable even to blow, they had heard the blasts of a steam whis- tle, which they distinguished as com- ing from a vessel“ which seemed to be searching for them. Shots had been fired .on the “Grand Marais,” in re- sponse; rockets sent up and tar bar- ‘rels burned; the “Grand Marais,” overwhelmed by water, with her fire- hold flooded, had gone down with an oil barrel burning on her forward deck. But no one had seen it for the blinding snow; so, about five o’clock it had seemed that the steamer which had been blowing had gone on; but at seven o’clock, more than an hour after the “Grand Marais” struck the reef,‘ everyone on the foremast had clearly heard the regular, strong blasts of a steam whistle; every man on both masts had yelled himself to exhaustion screaming in the wind to make the vessel hear, and Boynton burned El- dridge’s battery continuously, waving the light above his head as long as the whistle could be heard. But it had gone. Now they were covered with ice, all of them; some—the weakest and most despairing—froze to the mast and could not move. But Boynton kept his arms free and kept Eldridge and Svenson, who were next him, somewhat free; for it was not in Boynton to give up. Yet it seemed of no possible use. For almost three hours—Boynton had a watch which .he could see when he flashed Eldridge’s light—no one saw or heard anything. Then two of them heard, at the same time, a steam Whis- tle, closer than ever before. That brought some of the blood back to Boynton’s freezing limbs; he called out to the men, who had sunk into a stupor, that the ship had come back for them. He yelled and got them to yell cries, Which were hardly whispers now. No one could hear them; no one could see Eldridge’s dim little light, he knew. Yet the ship came closer; her master, whoever he might be, was bringing her along almost on the shoals, swinging her searchlight before her. Oh, pull, pull the light this way! It seemed to Boynton, with his num- bed hands outstretched, he must reach that beam and drag it to him. How close it came, sweeping through the snow, and yet missed them. They screamed; but the light did not halt or waver; it swept on, then God sent it back. It caught them; the green glare was in their faces and they saw one another; saw the mast, the ice which covered them. They saw, and they were seen! Now the light was gone to the aftermast; it gleamed on the water between them where the hull ought to be. Loud, clear, and again and again the steam whistle 01' the vessel blew, telling them that they were seen. Then they saw that the steamer was an ore carrier, deep laden. Clem Milter, on his ice-crusted bridge, stared down the beam of his searchlight, trying to see whether some of the figures moved. The masts were a quarter of a mile from the “B1aine;” for the snow had thinned again with the coming of the night cold and one could see with the search- light for several hundred yards. Milter could see that the mast-s themselves were shaking from the impact of the water; he could see shadows cast by the searchlight, shifting; but he could not be confident that what he saw was any man moving. Seven men seemed to be there. “Seven!” said Heron to Milter. “Seven!” counted Tinsman. “Five on one mast; two on the other.” He looked at the lake, at the masts, and back to Milter; it was plain to him,-as it was to Heron and everyone else on the “Blaine” that, if those on the masts lived, there was only one possible way to save them: The “Blaine” must go in beside those spars in that ice-filled. gale-swept sea.

All these and many other little things that put the new family forward, are well worth considering. Farmers and their wives are busy people and while they are always ready to meet new people half way, they simply can not take time to “run after” offish new- comers who pout because they feel themselves neglected. The old say- ing: “Providence helps those who help themselves,” will apply in this case as in many others, and the new family interested enough in its own affairs and well being to make a good effort to get acquainted will be more likely to be happy and content than if they sit back and criticise their neigh— bors for being unsocial.——H.

But the Merry Little ,West Wind only said, “Wooo-ooo-o! Wooo—oo-o!" and went on her way. So the three Woodland Wanderers went on their way, too, still in search of the lost key. After a time, they came to the wall of rock across their path. Here was where it had been so difficult to squeeze Bruin through the crevice. “Perhaps the key is in there,” said Rolly. “I’ll hop in and see, ’cause we might not be so successful in getting Bruin through this time.” In a. wink, he was back with the key, and how happy they all were! In crowding through the narrow crev- ice, the string around Bruin’s neck had broken and Rolly Rabbit found the key right where it had fallen. Then three happy Woodland Wan- derers hurried back to the big ‘door. With the key, Bruin turned the lock once to the right and once to the left; it clicked, and the big door swung open. At last they were in Happy Land. Here no hunter could find them with = his bang-bang gun, naughty boys could not set ugly traps to catch them, and they would never again hear the fright- ening bow wow of the hunter’s dog.

During this fall ”and winter, four big potato shows Will be staged in Mich- igan. They are the Western Michigan Potato Show, Greenville, October 29- 30-31; the Top 0" Michigan Potato Show. Gay10rd, November 4-5-6; the Thumb of Michigan Potato Show, May- . ville, November 11-12-13; and the Michigan’State Potato Show, Michigan State College, East Lansing, Michigan, during Farmers’ Week. Selection of exhibits for these shows should be made now, and it is believed that the suggestions here given will be‘timely. The time to select potatoes for ex- hibits is at digging time. Do the work on a clear, cool day, when the soil is comparatively dry. Show potatoes' should not be harvested before they are well matured. Immature potatoes are easily skinned and bruised and be- come dark colored. Dig the potatoes by hand, taking care not to bruise or break the skin. Save two or three times as many po- tatoes as will actually be required for the exhibit. The potatoes should be OUR NEW NEIGHBORS. URING the last fiscal year, 294,- 314 immigrants came into the United‘States, and 92,728 aliens ' lei't'the country for their former homes. The immigration law is working well along the lines intended by its friends In fact, it is working better than was expected, so far as the reduction of immigration from southern Europe. Only 6,303 Italians were admitted as immigrants, while 27,151 returned to tIaly. A total of 6,574 aliens returned to Greece, while but 826 immigrants came from that country. From Portu- gal came 617 immigrants, while 6,574 aliens returned to that country. Canadians to the number of 100,895 emigrated to this country, and 32,964 Mexicans came in. Germany furnished 46.068, Great Britain 28,000, the Irish Free State 25,440, Sweden 8,375, and Norway 5,975 immigrants. These im- migrants included 13,875 farmers and 16.022 farm laborers. ANNOUNCE MARKETING CONFER- ENCE. HE fourth annual conference of the National Council of Farmers’ Co- operative Marketing Associations will be held-in Washington, January 12-15. Secretary Walton Petest says that the legislative program of cooper— ative associations, with a million mem- bers, and doing a billion dollars an- nual business, will be formulated at this meeting. ‘ Reports to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, from the western corn belt states, indicates a growing sentiment in favor of commodity marketing organ- ization. FRUIT CROPS SHORT. HE foreign apple crops are poor, while the outlook for American apples has improved since the August report was issued, according to the department of agriculture. The commercial apple crop of the United States amounts to 30,394,000 barrels, compared with 29,230,000 barrels, as reported in August. In Canada, the other big apple ex- porting country, the September esti- mate of the commercial crop amounts to only 2,643,869 barrels, compared with 2,749,544 barrels last year. In England, which is the most im~ portant importer of American and Canadian apples, conditions are not good. the crop being far below the av- erage. Apple crops in central Europe range from failure to seventy-five per cent of a normal yield. ' ' ~ _ “Department . of agriculture special- ists say ,rthepoor. pear" crop in Europe makes the dearth of apples more keen- ly felt than would have been the case otherwise Under these conditions the .I t, by as V 'y HE'valuefo‘t m-memmh-i .- mg. better cultural and market and -.should average seven to nine ' “ ‘ATE‘AGRICULT " AL“ tineto type. mm; bright in color, ounces each for early Varieties, such as Early Ohio and Irish Cobblers. or eight to ten ounces for late varieties, such as Russet Rural, White Rural and Green Mountains. -. Be sure that the potatoes selected are free from scab, black scurf, wireworm injury and oth- er blemishes. Remember that uni- formity in size, shape" and color are very important. After the potatoes are selected, leave them exposed to the air for a few hours until they are dry. Then brush them lightly with a soft bristled brush, taking care not to injure the skin. Wrap each potato in paper and store‘ them in a cool, dark, frost-proof cellar that is well ventilated. Make the final selection a day or so before sending them to the show. A set of postal scales will prove valu- able in selecting for uniform weight. Brush each lot with a soft brush and rub lightly with a flannel cloth. Watch closely for mechanical injuries or blemishes. ' When the final selection is made, wrap each potato in paper and pack them tightly in a stout wooden box that is lined with several thicknesses of newspaper. If the potatoes are not packed tightly, they will be badly bruised while in transit to the show. as W outlook for a large demand in Europe 'for dAmerican apples is exceptionally goo . i COUNTY CROP‘ REPORTS. Oecoda Co., October 5.—-0ats yielded about forty bushels per acre. The corn crop is good, and potatoes an average crop. Recent rains helped fall grains and pasture. About the usual acreage was sown. Cloverseed is yielding well, but the acreage was small; the hay crop was very short. Cattle mostly sold at 4@6c; lambs bring 11@12c; butter-fat, 470; eggs, 350.—J. B. Ottawa Co., October 5.—Wheat on sand yielded better than on clay. Oats went about eighty per cent of the nor- mal yield. Early potatoes turned out well, and are selling from 90c@$1.10 per bushel. Wheat, $1.35; rye, 75c; oats, 400; corn, $1.15. Hay was a very light crop, and is selling from $18014 20 per ton. Apples are bringing from 75c@$1.50 per bushel, according to the quality. Late potatoes are not dug, but indications are for a short crop. Ingham Co., October 5.—Our wheat yielded twenty-two bushels per acre; oats around thirty bushels; beans, twenty bushels, and hay about one- half ton per acre. Probably sixty per cent of the bean crop suffered from the recent rains. Very few have yet been threshed. Pasture is extra good for this season of the year. A large acreage of wheat was sown and the crop is looking good. Less than the average acreage of rye went in.—A. C. Kalkaska Co., October 5.—Rye aver- aged twelve bushels per acre and is selling at 80c; oats averaged thirty bushels and brings 45c; the potato crop is light, and dealers are paying 80c. Corn is ripening up well. Cu- cumbers were good and we received $3.50 per cwt. Alfalfa hay is bringing $18 per ton. Apples were a good crop. and of good quality. Cabbage also did well. Very little fall seeding has been done. Hogs are bringing $16, dressed; beef, $8, dressed—C. W. Kent Co., October 4.————Our wheat yielded from fifteen to twenty-five bushels; barley, fifteen to thirty bush- els; oats, twenty to fifty bushels. About a. normal acreage of wheat was sown, and no rye to speak of. Pastures are very good. Wheat is being freely mar- ketedBat $1.50. Apples are a fair crop. Barry Co., October 1.-—Farmers are planting about the usual acreage of wheat, but very little rye. Rain delayed seeding. .Corn is a mammoth crop. Farmers are busy harvesting it and filling their silos. ’Potatoes are a good crop, owing to the rains. Pickles have been a fair crop this year. Pas- tures arefine. Apples are abundant in this section, but very little help to care for them—J.

The entire south is short of both grain and hay this year. Most of the cam belt as far west as the Missouri River has a scanty hay crop, but good yields of corn and cats. The western and northwestern fringe of the belt had its corn crop prospects revised sharply downward as a result of late summer drouth. New England and the middle Atlantic states have good feed crops. Broadly speaking, the same is true of the mountain and Pacific Coast states. Local conditions of this kind have much to do with local feed prices. This is particularly true of hay. The high cost of sending to distant markets from sections which have a surplus leaves but little for the grower. These costs are included in the central mar- ket price, and buyers in sections where there is a deficit must pay this price as well as the high cost of shipping in. Altogether, the conditions point un- mistakably toward higher prices for hay in the leading markets than in the past twelve months. With about the same degree of certainty, they suggest lower prices for leading feed grains. BREED THE BROOD MARES FOR PROFITABLE FARMING. MECHANICAL horsepower has de creased, considerably, the pro- duction of horses. This decrease is just now beginning to be felt by the activities that must depend upon the horse for transportation. The United ' States Department of Agriculture have gathered statistics from all over the country and all of these point to a marked decrease that will eventually bring about an acute shortage within the next five years. Mares bred this year will produce colts ready for the market about the time the shortage is at its lowest, with the result that good prices will be paid. According to the figures released by the United States Department of Ag- riculture, the decrease in work horses rate. The animals that are now sup- -‘ plying the demand are around seven years of age.

HERD FROM ONE OALF. ‘ T a young man with patience and perseverance need not buy an entire dairy herd in order to get [BUI‘LDB‘ into the pure-bred cattle business. is _ the lesson derived from the story of Ferdinand Pansle. Not quite seven years ago, when Ferd was in high school, his vacation- al agricultural director, T. G. Brown, encouraged him to start a Smith- Hughes project—building up a. herd of pure-bred Guernseys from one heifer calf. He bought a two-months’old calf.’ Miss Hank’s Liberty Belle, on Decem- ber, 1, 1918, for. $150, and the follow- ing year, won forty-eight dollars in premiums at fairs: Ferd was subject- ed to the disappointment of having her first calf-a heifer—die at birth, but he kept right on working with her. When she was four years old he start- ed keeping records of her pbductlon. and in ten months she produced 9,162 pounds of milk containing .423‘pounds of butter-fat, at a. net profit of $148.33. Ferd now has three daughters of old Liberty Belle, two granddaughters, has sold a granddaughter and a. son, and has three more calves coming be- fore the middle of October, and still owns the original. heifer. He sold the bull for $70 to a neighbdr‘ who never owned. a pure-bred bull. All of this is quite an influence for'one heifer calf to exert before she is seven years old. “Ferd and his herd” will be seen at the National Dairy Exposition, where they will be exhibited by The American Guernsey Cattle Club. GETTING RID OF TUBERCU'LOUS COWS. MICHIGAN is getting rid of her tu- berculous cows. At the close of the fiscal year on June 4'30, the state had nine counties in the modified ac- credited area list, and twenty more in which the work of eradication was in progress. Twenty-five other counties were waiting for the work to start. Thus fifty-four of the eighty-four coun- ties of the state have made progress in this work. A new two-year period stated with July 1. During the present fiscal year, it is hoped by those having the work in charge that the majority of the twenty counties, in which work is pro- gressing. will have gained admission to the modified accredited list. Plans further provide that during the next fiscal year those counties now waiting for the test Will largely have begun the work. The proposition is largely a matter of funds, a total of $250,000 having been made available by the state for this most important work. ,the “(later or the “Ringers” l?“ ova-fin" an; m /. ,flw.. ,. .

ETROPOLIT‘AN, Dickinson coun- . ty, has become the Guernsey center for the county, reports County Agent Lonsdorf. Farmers \go there to stock up on Guernseys, not because it has the best individual herd but because, as a community, it ranks first, says the agent. Ninety per cent of the farmers there own Guernseys, hence farmers are in a position to co- operate 1n improving their herds. FROM MAST TO MAST.

On September 23 such calves brought, on the Prescott Ranch in Northeast- ern Michigan. farrowed on his farm last spring. But he chooses his breeders well. Both of these sows were from ton litters. Both litters were farrowed in roomy box stalls in the barn, on account of rainy weather. When a. week old, an alfalfa pasture was ready for them. Then, at seven weeks, they were giv- en the service of a self~feeder. From the feeder they had regular rations of corn and tankage, and they otherwise received some skim-milk and a. min- eral mixture. Mr. Peters believes in pushing his stock from the first. He feels that any interference with their growth costs dollars. In his own mind, he is satisfied that getting the pigs on the early fall market brings him a better price than would later marketing. It was true this year, and has been the case for the past four seasons. HEREFORDS--For Sale Repeater 113m, a son of old Repeater. and from a Bright Stanway cow. Allen Bros. paid $5,200 for this bull.

Colt shows are becoming more nu- merous and competition more keen in the more important horse-breeding sec- tions of the country. One of the aide to live stock appe- tites is continuous supplies of salt. Salt licks or other methods of provid. ing this mineral will invariably be found on the farms of good feeders. In fattening sheep, they should be given all the feed they will clean up before leaving the trough. The grain troughs should be so arranged that they may be turned over for cleaning.

Evenvthere, in the foothills, where the country begins to get rough, the old wild west isn’t wild any more. In- stead, we are going to see increasing numbers of high-class stock come from there, because these lords and dukes believe in pedigrees and blue-blood. So they don’t like to have on their places an animal without a family tree, that does not compare favorably to theirs. And even those who do not have royal blood in their own veins are trying to make up the deficiency by having it in their stock. Anyhow, they say the prince is a prince. The girls at Calgary like him. When he comes, the barber shops get busy putting the girls in good trim. They say he is a good dancer. I danc- ed in the same room he did, and to the tunes of the same orchestra, but not at the same time. Also, the ranch- ers say that he can ride the wildest of the tame bronchos they have there. -So everybody is satisfied. FNMWIHHIIMHWMWMWWMHWW Veterina .

Milk Fever—Feeding Buckwheat to Cows.—-How can I tell if my cow has an attack of milk fever, and how shall I treat her? I have been told that buckwheat is almost as good a cow feed as oilmeal. H. A., Arnold, Mich. —The first symptoms noticed may be the decrease in milk flow, some dull- ness, holding the head low, loss of ap— petite and disinclination to move. The cow soon falls to the ground. Don’t give medicine, but promptly call your veterinary, or be equipped to fill the udder with clean air, and keep it filled until she is able to get up and move about. Every dairyman should keep on hand a milk fever outfit. Oilmeal is a better feed for cows than buck- Wheat. Pin Wormst—One of my horses is troubled With pin worms. J.

This has been proved by thousands of dairymen and experiment stations. In clean, comfortable Louden Steel Stalls and Stanchions the cow can devote to the manufacture of milk the wasted energy that would be other- wise used up in fretting and striving for physical comfort.
