ed in the above survey use only pure-

two members, or 67 5 per cent, of 1, 232

cow testing association members, each

own a purebred Sire. There are 464,

or 55. 7 per Cent, pure-bred Holstein;





191, or 22. 9 per cent, pure-bred Guern- .





sey; 131, or 15.7 per cent pure-bred

Jersey; thirty pure-bred Shorthorns;

nine pure-bred Brown Swiss, and sev-

en pure-bred Ayrshire sires in the to-





tal of 832 sires owned by the cow test.-





ing association members.

One hundred and eight, or thirteen

per cent, of the 832 pure-bred sires are





owned cooperatively- as bull associa-

tion sires. This point would indicate

that many cow testing association

members are keeping the pure-bred

sire for a, long time, and that they re-





’ alize the great value of proving a bull





by getting records on his daughters.

Michigan dairymen are keen for al-

falfa hay. The acreage of alfalfa in-

creased from 8,174 acres in 1924, to

10,524 acres in 1925, on the 1,232 farms

reported owning 12,761 cows. This

means .82 acres of alfalfa for each

cent alfalfa seeding on the farms of

cow testing association members in

one year.



Seven of the members reported had

alfalfa seedings previous to 1910; 263

farmers had alfalfa seedings before





1920, and 554 have seeded alfalfa since ,_





1920. L. C. Gardner, of Stockbridge,

member of the Livingston No. 2 Cow

Testing Association, and D. J. Miller

& Sons, of Eaton Rapids, member of

the Eaton-South Cow Testing Associa-

tion, are the alfalfa growers of long-

est standing. Gardner started with

two acres in 1892 and has twelve acres

of alfalfa today, while Miller made his

first seeding in 1895. He has thirty-

nine acres of alfalfa at present. Both

breed pure-bred Holstein cattle.



Sweet clover also received much at-

tention by Michigan dairymen during

1924 and 1925. The acreage of sweet

clover increased from 1,519 acres in

1924, to 3,459 acres in 1925, or 22.7 per

cent in one year with Michigan cow

testing association members. These

figures are based on the reports of

fifty cow testing associations, totaling

1,232 members.



Cow testing association members are

also making use of soy beans. They

have 520 acres seeded to this good

legume crop.



Dairymen-all over Michiganare firm

believers in using silage for succu-

lence. One thousand two hundred and





V sixty—two silos are owned and used by





the 1,232 dairy farmers represented in

this census. Drinking cups are install-

ed on many cow testing association

members’ farms—but not on all dairy

farms. Out of 1,232 farms reported, _

only 321 have barns equipped with

drinking cups. Radio sets are owned

on 217 farms out of 1,232 reported.





The Turkey Market Outlook





Some Fact: and 0,07'7770723~ A5077: 2&2: Preterm”: Mantel

By Gilbert Gusler





HE turkey industry is on the de-

cline Popularity of other kinds

of table poultry, and the many

diflieulties in raising .young poults,‘

have influenced producers to reduce

their turkey flocks. Furthermore, the

demand for turkeys, as comparedwith





. other poultry, is very limited. Tradir





tion has established the turkey as a

holiday fowl and there is a really





. heavy demand for it from the public'





only three times a year, at Thanksgiv-

ing, Christmas and New Year’s. In

1890, the turkey population was esti-

mated at 11,000,000 head. By 1920, it

had been reduced to 3,600,000 head,

and, is still close to that figure.

There is little official information as





‘to the size, conditibn and probable

, market value of this year‘s turkey

crop. To try to ascertain the extent

. of the supply in advance of the ‘ship-.





ping season is never bEtter than a poor

It is generally agreed, how-

ever, that there are not as many tur-





[keys on farms this year as last, and.

thy .





mutating later than us-





 





 





 





 





 





 

 





.twenty per cent .-





Early reports from Oklahoma indi-

cate that, in spite of a very hot sum-

mer, that state will market fully as

many turkeys this year as last. There

is no indication, however, of any such





over-production as was a feature two,





years ago, when fine fat birds went

begging.



Texas, which usually markets about

seventy-five per cent of the turkeys

for the Thanksgiving trade: has one

of the lightest crops in years. The

shortage under last year ranges from

fifteen to twenty-five per cent in north.-

ern Texas, to forty per cent in the

southwestern section. The tendency

toward? lower price in the past five

years has discouraged many producers

in that state from raising turkeys. The

rapid development of cotton growing

in western Texas also has reduced the





attention given the turkey crop. ‘,This_ “





year ”the. spring hatch was consider-r

ably below that of the last two years,-

and heavy losses were sustained dur—





. ,ing the hot dry summer





Poultry authorities in North Dakota

estimate the turkey crop in that state

at twenty to twenty- fixe per cent short

of the 1924 crop. Tuikeys are fairly

well developed and, with favorable





*weather, some of the earlier hatch will





be ready for the Thanksgiving market.

The bulk of the crop, howev 91, will be

in bettei condition for the later hol-

idays.





A loss of thirty per cent under a.

year ago probably covers the casual—

ties in the Utah turkey crop. Mon-

tana has ten to fifteen per cent fewer

turkeys than the 1924 crop, and the

turkeys are maturing slowly. Kentucky

reports a lighter crop than a year ago,

with comparatively few likely to be

in condition for the Thanksgiving

trade.





The probable price at which produc-

ers will market their turkeys this





Thanksgiving is wholly a matter of





conjecture at this time. The ‘condition

of the crop, and the number ready for





market depends on the weather during

the next six weeks. Turkeys do not

begin to fill out before cold weather,

and if the fall is late, few southern

turkeys will .be in good market condi-

tion by Thanksgiving.





Last year, opening pricesprior to

Thanksgiving ranged from fifteen to

eighteen cents a pound for live tur-

keys in Texas, up to twenty-three to

twenty-eight cents in the northwest.

The season had been late, and few tur-

keys were large and fancy. But, pric-

es declined sharply from the opening.

Prices for Christmas turkeys started

out at the same level as a month pre-

vious, but the market advanced up to

the holiday so that returns to the pro-

ducer averaged higher than at Thanks-

giving.



It is probable that prices this year

Will at least equal the 1924 levels. It

is evident that producers are anxious

to sell, and all turkeys that are in any

shape will probably be sold for‘ the

early holiday. In northern Texas, a '

where rains have been so scanty, tur- =

BThe lished a letter from a

can bean buyer who holds

Market that the present range



’ of bean prices are

more than a dollar too low. In talk-





ing with another bean buyer over the

’phone, this opinion was corroborated.



It is persistently rumored that sev-

eral bean jobbers sold short on beans

when it seemed apparent that Michi-

gan was to have a record crop. But

since. wet weather has done much





damage to beans, as reports from eve- '





ry producing section of the state in-

dicate.



Naturally, when men sell short on

the crop, they want to buy supplies for

filling their contracts at the lowest

possible price. In other words, they

do all they can to bear the market.



It is burden enough for the bean

growers to stand the damage occasion~

ed by the recent rains, without suffer-

ing from the misjudgment and the op-

position of men who are speculating

on the crop.

GOO." A recent issue of a

Advice financial journal con-



, tained the question of

a farmer who, with two sisters, was





making a fairly good living from their

dairy farm. The farm was being im-

proved and conveniences were being

added to the home. But, he was get-

ting tired of the farm and its work,

and, asked if it would be advisable for

him to leave the farm and go to the

city, “where there is more opportunity

and more to see.”



The financial editor, who is right in

the vortex of city life’s greatest activ-

ities, answers the farmer as follows:



“From the statement of your pres-

ent condition, I think you would make

_ a. mistake to give up the dairy farm

and come to the city. There are, of

course, opportunities to be taken ad-

vantage of, both in the city and in the

country; but, if you are making a fair

' living and adding to your farm invest-

ingent, I certainly would not recom-

mend that you go to the city and be-

post shipments have decreased under

these new rates: According to reports

from the city post office department,

there arrived in New York City dur-

ing August of 1924, four thousand five

hundred cases of eggs by parcel post.

This year, for the same month, the

shipments were but three thousand

seven hundred cases. In July of 1924,

the total was four thousand eight hun-

dred cases, as compared with three

thousand eight hundred cases for the

corresponding month of the present

year. A similar reduction in shipments

by parcel post holds true in other

cities.



Now come the railroads asking for

more money for cairying this parcel

post matte1. It is little wonder, there-

fOIe. that some users of the system

are becoming suspicious lest the se1-

vice, as an efficient means of trans-

porting goods from one point to an-

other, may be destroyed. In all prob-

ability, the friends of parcel post

transportation will be obliged to fight

for it during the coming session of

Bn'cééatr and B‘oquetsi





MAYBE you folkses noticed I start-





ed ta conduct a department in'





this paper. It was called like the

name above. ,





Maybe I ain’t a good conductor, but

anyhOw, I got some results. I got

some briékbats, and as a result maybe

I’ll be ready for some bouquets in a

little while. But, I guess I’m what the

doctor calls convalescin’, now, instead

of conductorin’, and if I don’t get one

0’ them relapses, maybe I’ll recover.

But, in case 0' accidunt, you’ll get

word where ta send the boquets.





You know, brickbats is O. K. They

’don’t flatter a fellow any, but some-

times they flatten

him. They’re in'

clined to give you

a kind of a knock,

but, seein’ as

every knock is a

boost, it’s 0. K.,

11 at K. 0., or

knockout, as the

proflesshunal punchers usually say.



Brickbats ain’t nothin’ soft, they’re

what you call real substantial, solid

sort 0’ affairs. Flowers is beautiful ta

look at and ta smell, but the trouble

is, folkses always wait ta put boquets

on your chest after you ain’t abul ta.

smell ’em anymore.





I like flowe1s,’cause they’ re nice.

Like womin’ and nice scenery, they

have beauty and are inspirin’. While

flowers is of the nice things 0’ life, I

ain’t so fond o‘ boquets. Boquets is

flowers outa place. They are just ta

look nice fer somebody’s pleasure,

while flowers, where they grow, is

very useful. They are nice, and made

attractive so, what the perfessor calls,

the species, kin be perpetuated. And

speakin’ about perpetuatin’, there’s lots

0’ pettin’ what turns into perpetuatin’.



But, speakin’ about brickbats and

boquets again. They’re what we get in

life. They’re like clouds and sunshine,

and we gotta take them as they come,

just like good sports. I figure we

shouldn’t feel hurt if we get brickbats

once in a while, and boquets shouldn’t

make us feel all puffed up. But we

should just keep on tryin’ ta do our

best, regardless 0’ whether we get

brickbats or boquets fer doin’ it. We

should just keep on and well sure

get the boquets in the end. Funerals

keeps them florist fellows busy.





Anyhow, this brickbats and boquets

departmunt is goin’ ta. continue, but

maybe it’ll change conductors. So just

continue ta send your brickbats and

bequets by parcul post as before.

whether they are the result of much

OR the benefit of those who are

now wondering whether it will be

best to sell at this time or to hold

till a later date, we are giving the

estimates of those cash crops of im-

portance to Michigan farmers, as pub-

lished by Verne E. Church, U. S. Ag-

ricultural Statistician, and L'. W. Wat-





' kins, Commissioner of Agriculture.





The Potato Output is Short.



The short potato crop estimated in

previous months was substantiated by

the October 1 report of the Michigan

Cooperative Crop Reporting Service.

The October estimate waseslightly less

than the September forecast, but re-

mained at 344,000,000 bushels in round

numbers, 111,000,000 bushels less than

last year, and around 40,000,000 bush-

els under the estimated consumption

at normal prices.“



The Michigan estimate is 26 ,384,000

bushels, slightly less than the Septem-

ber figure, and 11 H000 000 bushels less

than produced in 1924. Yields vary

greatly, owing to an uneven distribu-





period. Northern counties were very

dry during August, which affected the





“ growth very materially and reduced





the yield. The quality is generally

good inall sections.

rather than fallaCious, theories.



It is necessary forsomeoneto take

the initiative in getting farmers organ-

ized for cooperative action However,

in too many instances farmers have





nothing to this business of marketing,

since the existing market agencies

were reputed to be performing no es-

sential-service, and, therefore, the real

problem of successful cooperation was

that of organizatic'm. The college can

render effective service to the cooper-

ative movement it it teaches that co-

operation is abusiness, and that work

does not begin until after organization.

The cooperative cannot bring benefits

to agriculture if it is not used, no

merely ready to do work after organ-

. this cooperative machine is one which





must be by, of, and for the farmer;

and success does not depend entirely





upon the size of the manager’s salary, -





or the form of organization, but upon

how wisely farmers make use of their

association.



Another misconception, which it is

the duty of the college to eradicate, is

that cooperation is going to cure all

the. ills of agriculture. It will bring

benefits, but it will never bring pros-

perity to the farm where good produc-

tive practice, economy, and frugality

are strangers. Cooperation is not for

the purpose of making it possible for

anyone to enter the business of farm-

ing and makes profit regardless of

Hard for the Potato





The situation from the grower's

standpoint, is the most optimistic it

has been in several years. Good prices

prevailed at the opening of the mar»

keting season and, if the crop is not

rushed onto the market too rapidly,

prospects are favorable for a. continu-

ation of satisfactory returns.





Bean Crop is Large But Damaged.





The bean crop of the United States

showed a. slight increase in the Oc-

tober 1 estimate over the previous

month's report, the total being 17,754,-

000 bushels against a crop of 13,327,-

000 bushels in 1924. The Michigan

crop is estimated at twelve bushels

per acre, or a. total of 7,356,000 bush-

els against 5,848,000 last year. Fre-

quent rains during September and the

early part of October have greatly de-

layed harvesting/ and threshing, and

caused extensive damage to the beans

in many sections, especially on. heavy

soils. An inquiry relative to the pick

indicates that it will be 8.5 per cent,





7 “ although so little threshing and mar-

. tion of moisture during the growing"





keting had been done up to the first

of the month that accurate figures

were impossible. The percentages of

varieties grown in‘the state this year

are as follows: Small whites, 82;

large whites, 4; light red kidneys, 5;

dark red kidneys, 7; soys, 1; and other

varieties, 1 per cent.





While the total crop or the country





, is considerably above the average, due





to the excessively large acreage plant-

will slow up the movement through



the elevators and reduce the volume



of merchantable stock considerably,



which will do much to stabilize and



maintain fair price conditions.



Apple Crop, While Small, is of Good

Quality.



The commercial apple crop of the

United States is slightly under the

five-year average, being placed at 30,-

134,000 barrels, a. slight decrease from

the outlook one month 11ng and about

1,500,000 banels more than last year’s.

The ag1icultu1al 010p of the country

is 15,000,000 banels less than last

year, but the quality this year is much

better, which explains the larger com-

mercial production.





~The Michigan crop of 1,864,000 bar-

rels places the state in third rank,

Washington being first with 8,,160 000

and New York second with 4,,975 000

barrels. An inquiry concerning the

portion of the state’s crop; that is, of

winter, fall and summer varieties, re-

sulted in finding that fifty-four per

cent is made up of winter fruit, twenty-

six per cent of fall, and twenty per

cent of summer, or a crop of 1,007,000

barrels of winter fruit, 485,000 barrels

of fall, and 373,000 barrels of summer

varieties.



. The yield is heaviest in the northern

counties of the state and gradually de~

creases southward, there having been

more or less damage from freezing in

the southern districts during the





' they are mere theory. The fact that





”the good yield in prospect, should jg.





 





the methods followed. If this were

the purpose it should be condemned.



This great movement- is strugglihg, , . _

away in its advance against many, on»

sound theories. The college should V" _

impress upon farmers and leaders that '

because a principle applies in the case . .

of one commodity, or acertain can, ‘ "

munity is no prima facie evidence that

it will do the same in respectto all,

commodities and every community;

The motor boat has an engine and

will successfully carry one across a

river. However, one would meet with~

disastrous results if he assumed an

automobile would do the same thing

because it also had an engine.



To giVe an illustration within the

market field, it should not be assumed?

that, because extra heavy receipts of.

perishables and live stock depress the

prices, the same price reactions Would-

result under similar conditions in the

grain or cotton markets. No statis-

tical studies have yet been made to

prove these assumptions. While they

may be correct, without some prooi

A great service can be rendered it

the concept is generally accepted that

cooperation in agriculture means some-

thing more than cooperative market-

ing. The potato specialist who organ-

izes crop improvement associations

and teaches good productive practices

to groups of farmers, is not unessen~

tial to the economic welfare of the

country. The cooperative program is

not going to meet the needs of the

farmer unless it becomes broader than

a marketing program.



Success in cooperative endeavor is

often jeopardized because farmers do

not understand their relationship to

the undertaking. Too often they think

from scab injury, and the size and col-

or are generally good. With only an

average crop throughout the country,

the situation is favorable for fairly

good prices for the winter crop.



Good Stands of Beets Are Reported.



Michigan ranks second among the

producing states in the prospective

production of sugar beets this year,

the outlook being for a. crop of 986.000

tons. The acreage is considerably less

than that of last year, but weather

conditions have been unusually favor-

able during the latter part of the sea-

son and the beets have made rapid

growth and are attaining good size.

Dry weather early in the summer caus-

ed some poor and ragged stands, but

those fields were seeded to other crops, '

so that the remaining beet fields have ,

good stands and the outlook is for an

excellent yield.



The total 0101) of the United States,

as estimated on October 1, is 6, 549 .000

tons. Colorado, the leading state, has .

a. prospective crop of 1,326,000 tons,

and Utah, the third in production, .

925,000 tons. The condition is host in

Utah, being 113 per cent, and lowest ~

in California where it is fifty-three per

cent. The Michigan condition is nine- ‘

ty per cent, and for the country as a 3

whole, 82.6 per cent. -

‘ the latest convert to the McNary- «

'Haugen foreign export corporation

Bohem‘el‘ 'He tells President manage;





that farmers cf the 'central west are

demanding legislation to. protect them

from falling prices,” fixed by foreign

markets. He declares that an agricul—





- l'tural‘tariff will notsolve the problem,





‘but legislation should be‘ framed so as

to give the American farmer yop'portu~

nity to sell his surplus products

abroad without loss. While’ the exact

provisions of the proposed legislation

remains to be worked out,/it should

adopt several provisions, of the Mc-

Nary-Haugen bill. -'





In proof that the farmer does get

tariff protection, under present agri-

cultural tariffs, and that only a small

part of the farmers could possibly_be

helped by the McNary-Haugen plan, a

Washington economist points .out that

of forty-seven leading products cf the

American farms, all but seven are‘ sold

almost entirely in the American mar-

kets.





In answer to the charge that the

farmers have to pay higher prices for

manufactured goods because of the

tariff, this economist says that the tar-

iff has not increased the price level of

domestic manufactured goods, high

wages being the responsible factor.

His proof of this statement'is the fact

that prices of commodities having no

tariff protection at all have advanced

equally with those having tariff pro-

tection. The tariff, if high enough to

be protective, does help the farmer.





HAVE STRONG ORGANIZATION.





 





THE Minnesota wool growers are



well organized. Their cooperative

wool pooling association expects to

handle 600,000 pounds of wool next

year, according to reportslto the de-

partment of agriculture. Sales made

up to September 1 will net the mem-

bers from forty-two to forty-three

cents for bright medium wool. Ad:

vances to members are on the basis of

seventy per cent of actual value of

the wool. All warehouses are bonded

and all wool is fully insured.

the soil will wash readily. Noifertility

is ever lost by evapOrati-on.l Nothing

"but moisture goes; the solids are all

left behind. Iii many instances, fall

plowing is a. benefit pro-the soil. Espe-





cially is this true in heavy clay or .





muck soil. The exposure to the ele-

ments in the winter, the action of the

frost, pulverizes the clay and puts it

in very much better mechanical con'-

dition'. There is some danger in los-

ing a portion of the soil by washing

when it..is fall plowed. If the land is

left in sod, heavy rains do not wash

away the soil, but when plowed, ero-

sion may occur. However, in our cli-

mate it is rare that we have such open

Winter conditions that the frost is all

out of the ground.





Usually, farmers in. Michigan like to

do all the fall plowing they can, be-

cause it lessens labor in the spring.

Our springs are short at the best, and

where all the land is to be plowed in

the spring, very often we cannot suc-

ceed in getting all crops in on time.‘

Fall plowing helps out very much in

this respect.

Farming the farmto get all out of

it possible each year without a thought

of maintaining fertility for the future,

has destroyed the agriculture of many

a region. I trust that in the attempt

to increase the farmer’s income, we

do not make the mistake of similarly

“farming” the market by having only

in our minds the thought of extracting

the last pound of flesh today. ”As we

al security, so build that a stable and

TURKEY MARKET'OUTLOOK.





 





(Continued from page 389).



key growers are already begging pro-

duce dealers to buy their young tur-

keys because of the shortage of feed

to carry them over until the usual

marketing season. The grass is dried

up, insects are scarce, and the cost of

grain is considered too high to feed

for an uncertain market. The appear-

ance of hundreds of half-grown tur-

keys on the Texas markets at the pres-

ent time does not speak well for a

large supply later on.



During the past twelve years, farm

prices for turkeys in December have

averaged higher than in November.

The birds usually are in better condi-

tion by that time, and. will grade high-

er. Thanksgiving comes so early in

the season that there are always plen-

ty of low grade turkeys available,

which often sell at a. large discount

under best grades. It is said that fre-

quently as many as a. third of a ship-

ment will run No. 2’s at Thanksgiving

time, While a. month later it is seldom

that they run over ten per cent.



Growers are urged to keep back all

immature unfinished turkeys until

Christmas or New Year’s and allow

them to put on more flesh, instead of

rushing them to market next month.

Holding turkeysdor an extra month’s

feeding and conditioning will allow

growers to market No. 1 birds of

greater weight instead of thin No.

2’s. The extra returns ought to more

than offset the additional feed costs.



Stocks of frozen turkeys in storage

are somewhat larger than last year. A

good month remains before new crop

turkeys will be in heavy supply, how-

ever; and demand irom hotels and ms-

taurants could make a. big dent in

stocks during that period. Most of the

remaining stock consists of hen tur~

keys which are meeting with a slow

demand in spite of reduced ”prices

Only forty per Cent of the turkeys put

into storage last fall were young toms.

They have all been sold at prom, but

Every paint—starved farm





brings a low price





0U know the/scene. A farm





mortgage foreclosed — a forced

sale—the auctioneer—senous bld-





ders—a few curious idlers. What

will the farm bring?

Not a great deal. Look at the





house—unpainted, shabby,

weatherbeaten, and dilapidated.

All the buildings are in the same

condition— paint-starved.





Perhaps you feel sorry for the

owner. But it is his fault that he

did not give his buildings adequate

protection with lead paint. Now

it is too late.





You will find- bankers every-

where who say that well painted

farm buildings are worth much

more than poorly painted build-

ings; that paint adds $5,000,000,-

000 to the total value of American

farms; that bankers make loans

much more willingly to the farmer

whose property is thoroughly cov-

ered with paint.





Paint with white-lead to increase

the clean, prosperous appearance

of your farm buildings and the

permanent value of your entire

farm. Paint your farmhouse, in-

side and out. Paint your barn.

Paint your outbuildings. Paint

your farm implements—and save

them all from the ceaseless crum-

bling, rotting, rusting that goes on

wherever surfaces of wood and steel

are left unpainted. Paint now and

keep on painting to save the sur-

face—then you will save all, even

long after your children’s children

have become fathers and mothers.





Why farmers prefer Dutch .Boy





Paint your outdoor surfaces with

Dutch Boy white-lead? and you

give them the protection of pure

white-lead. Dutch Boy white-lead

mixed with pure linseed oil makes

a paint that master painters and





thousands of home owners always

specify and use to save the surface.

Such a paint is impervious to

moisture, sticks tight to-the sur-

face, does not crack or scale. It

gives a smooth, even film that

spreads far.





To interior walls, ceilings and

woodwork, Dutch Boy white-lead

mixed with Dutch Boy flatting oil

gives both protective and beautiful

finishes. Such finishes are econom-

ical because they last long and

can be washed again and again

with soap and water without de-

stroying their original beauty.





For all metal surfaces use Dutch

Boy red-lead. This is pure red-lead

and has been the standard for

guarding iron and steel against

weather attacks.

' URINe the latter half 9: the

summer, many samples of apples

have been sent in affected by-the



apple maggot, and an examination of

orchards in some parts of the state

has revealed the presence of positively

the most serious infestation of apple-





r.





,mag‘gguhat it has ever been my lot





to observe. How widespread ‘this in-





” festation is, I have not as yet had op-





portunity to find out; but~it seems

likely that in many orchards of the

state one will find the maggot to be

present in abnormal numbers.



The object of this article is to ex-

plain the difference between the work

of apple-maggotland that of codling-

moth, so that the grower may npt as-

cribe injury to the apples to the wrong

insect and lose faith in his spraying

operations cénducted against the cod

ling-moth. ’The apple-maggot is not

adequately controlled by the same

sprays which are used for the codling—

moth. In other words, the codling-

moth spray will not more than par-

tially control apple-maggot.





Maggot Tunnels Through.



The appleimaggot, sometimes known

as the railroad-wdrm, tunnels indis-

criminately thrOugh the center of the

fruit, often, however, centering its at-

tack around the core rather than in

the core itself; The difference between

the work of the two insects can, how-

ever, be determined with case at this

season of the-year. " If the apple is cut

open and the grub examined, one can

easily distinguish between the larvae

of the codling-moth and that of the

maggot, the maggot being about one—

fourth-inch long, footless, and white

in color; while the larvae of the cod-

ling-moth is about three-fourths-inch

long, pink in color, and provided with

six legs and a distinct head. The cod-

ling—moth, on leaving the apple, spins

a little cocoon in which it passes the

winter. The apple-maggot immediate-

ly disappears in the ground and re-

mains underground, with no cocoon,

until late June or early July of the

following year. .. i



Spraying Helps.



The control of the apple-maggot is

best brought about by spraying and

by the destruction of the apples im-

mediately after they fall to the ground,

the maggots never leaving the apples

until: after they have fallen. The im—

mediate destruction of'these apples,

either by feeding to farm animals or

by burying, will, of course, aid very

materially in the control of the pest.

If the apples are to be fed to live

stock, the feeding should be done on

a tight board floor or on a cement

platform in order that the larvae may

not have access to the soil, and thus

escape destruction. The pasturing of

hogs in the orchard will in some cases

take care of the situation, if there are

sufficient hogs to devour all of the

apples as soon as they fall.



Early Spraying Beneficial.



'The other method employed is by

means of a spray put on when the

flies first appear, and before they lay

their eggs. These sprays are intended

to destroy the adult flies themselVes

during the period between emergence

from their undergroupd cells and the

time of egg~laying. The Spray com-

monly used is put on lightly and con-

sists of arsenate of lead, used at the

rate of one and one-fourth pounds of

dry powdered arsenate of lead to fifty

gallons of water, with the addition of

one-half to one gallon of molasses to





 





ieach fifty gallons, of water. This is

intended. to attract the flies, who Sip:

it up before" they commence to lay

eggs. It is applied thefflrst week in

July and often repeated onCe, or even

tWice,7at‘ intervals of ten days or two

weeks. _



It is hoped‘that growers who, find

wormy apples now, or at picking time,

will make sure to determine-“which in»

sect is making the trouble, since, it is

very easy to confuse the work of the

apple maggot with that of the codling~

moth,land it is important to determine

just which one is present in order to

plan the spray program for next year. J





MAKE HOT-BED DO DOUBLE DUTY.





A FARM without a garden and not

bed is like a family without a.

mother, and really, the hot-bed is the

mother of‘the garden. It germinates-

the seeds of tender plants and pro-

tects them in their early and delicate

stages of growth. But after the hot!

bed has functioned in this way. what

more can be done with it? We an-

swered this question in a partial way

some years ago, by cleaning it ‘out,

ready for spring use, and then dump<

ing into it such, roots and vegetables

as were wanted for mid-winter or

spring use, covering them up with

straw or leaves to keep out frost.

This fall, however, we hit upon a,

better way of doing much the same

thing and making the contents much

more accessible. By nailing strips on

opposite sides of the frame, about ten;

inches below the top, we laid a mov-

able floor of boards, which was then

covered with sawdust about four inch.

es deep, except for a place in the cen<

ter about fifteen inches wide. This

latter is fitted with a board, or door,

that ’can readily be removed and, when

in place, and the weather has become

cold, will be covered with straw or

other easily removable mulch. In

place of the sash, boards and battons

are placed on top loosely, and the con-

tents of the bobbed, which had pre

viously been removed, is banked

around the frame. Dowu below this

false floor, with its sawdust covering,

is a moist, frost-proof cellar about two

feet deep, in which can be stored

crates of potatoes and apples, roots of

all kinds and, if it be taken up with

ample roots, 3. good supply of delicious

celery for the family table, without

‘ reference to Kalamazoo or California.

VEGETABLE IMPORTS INCREASE. ‘





A MUCH‘ larger Volume of- vegeta~

bles in the natural state is ship«

ped into the United States than



is shipped out. In the first six months



of 1925, according to figures given out

by the foodstuffs division of the de-

partment of commerce, the imports of

vegetables were valued at $10,430,125.

and the exports at $5,274,294, compar-



ed with a value of 7,218,980 for im—



ports, afl $5,899,372 for exports dur-



ing a like period of 1924.



Beans, tomatoes and onions are the

most important of the imported vege—

tables. Imports of beans in the first

six months of 1925 amounted to .845.-

484 bushels, ‘which- was 286,404 bush-

WEBS aren’t particularly inter-

are from, so I will tell you that this





letter is written on Sunday evening,‘





from the small farm home of a young

couple.



Did you ever move from the city to

the country? Do you remember the

first time you were away from home

for any length of time? Either of

these two conditions can make you

uncomfortable for a while, but com-

bine them and you have the worst

case of homesickness. The best of

husbands can’t be in the house all of

the time. Evening, twilight, lonesome

time and chere time, my mind goes

back to Sunday nights at home, to

church with the family in our own



familiar pew. Then, by pressing a

button I am there. _I hear the familiar

organ music, I even recognize the

soprano voice in the choir. No need

for the radio announcer to tell who’s

sermon I’ve heard. I’ve been to church

on Sunday night with my home folks.

I can close my eyes and see familiar





faces as the organ plays—while the-





congregation leaves.

casted from my home town about 120

I was a. little afraid that living in

the country would gradually kill our

interest in music, current events, and

live problems of the day; that we

would become stale, for the average

farmer doesn’t have the chance or in-

centive to keep as well informed as

his city brother. But radio is going

to help lay my fears.





Besides the things of general inter-

est, sermons, lectures, readings, and

musical programs, there are farm top-

ics, things that all country people have

to cope with, also cooking and home

economics, and talks from Michigan

State College and other stations.





For a small, inexpensive, set, it

seems to me we get quite a. range of

programs. We ‘get WWJ, Detroit,

very well; also KDKA, Pittsburgh.

From WTAS, Eigin, 111., we have re«

'ceived some very clear musical pro-

grams. . The church service mentioned

was received» from \VREO, Lansing.

These stations come in clear and with

enough volume to be understood with

ease. We enjoy parts of all the pro-





grams we get, and all of a. good many ‘





of them. With a radio you don’t have

to listen to a whole sermon if you

don’t like it, for the ministers won’t

even be hurt if you nod a little.

' ne of the hardest problems for the

hite man to solve in the Far East is

to keep the lights along the coast

harping in all kinds of weather. If you

trust a native he is liable to go to

sleep at his post and let the next

steamer slip on the rocks; but white

men, who are willing to spend their

tune on some lonely rock or island

are so scarce and hard to get that

when one comes along and offers his

services you get a shock



The Gilolo Pass light is not of the

first order, but it should be, and would

have been bef01e this if the great war

had not impoverished the Fa1 East,

as well as the rest of the world. Mat

.’.°Tawny had been keeping it for three

long months, and at the beginning of

the fourth he had the firm conviction

. that he would either go mad or aban-

" . don the light and swim out and climb

aboard the next steamer that passed.



The black waters of the stiait swirl

and gallop along in their couise, form-

ing strange patterns on the su1face

3. that fascinate the weary watcher, and



‘ when the wind storms come out of the

sea they bring with them on the tide

the queer flotsam and jetsam of two

hemispheres for the eddies of the

swirling water to play with. Watch-

ing the black currents, with their oily

swell and endless passing, day and

night, night and day, with never di-



version save when a steame1 or oil

tanker breaks in upon the picture,



, plays havoc with the mind of the

white man, and even natives have been

known to go stark, staring mad over

night.



Mat Tawny had applied for the po-

sition as keeper, and got it so quickly

that he was on his way to the strait

before his papers were legally drawn

5 up. Mat didn’t mind this so much at

'_ the time, for he knew, and Su erin-

tendent Bardlow, of the Ligh ouse

Service, knew, that danger lurked

along that coast, and was liable to

visit the lonely watcher any night 01

day; but, fo1 reasons of thei1 own,

1 neither spoke of it. Bardlow didn’t

/ want to scare his new recruit away,

W‘and Mat was just as anxious to keep

l to himself his reasons for taking such

a. thankless job.



A few weeks before this, Mat Tawny

had been skipper and owne1 of a little

trading vessel that plied along the

New Guinea coast, making a successful

living, and laying up funds against

the day when he would decide to give

up his wandeIing life in the South

Seas and 1eturn to the land of his

birth in New England. The series of

: adverse events that had brought him

to this pass have nothing to do with

this story. They were a closed book

’ to Mat, and be neither regretted them

, nor .‘felt particularly proud of them.

1' The immediate cause of his present

*downfall was Zulucca, who, strange

erintendent Bardlow. Zulucca had



name and reputation that extended

from one end of the archipelago to. .the

other, a reputation for piracy that put

a price on his head, and made him the

most dreaded man of those island





seas. Not all the navies of the world

had‘ been able to, run him down in,

times of peace; and when every naval ‘





unit offlany particular size had been

recalled for more important work in

the World. War, the sly old fox of New

Guinea ancestry plied his nefarious

cunning and

cruelty.



Zulucca was a Papuan, with Karon

blood flowing th1ough his veins, which

gave him some of the blood-thirsty

whether or not- to go thrmgh the Pass. ’ '





f‘That means old Zulucca has his eye

on the light. All right!” ,



He smiled grimly and hurried down

the rickety stairs that led from his

high platform. He found Matupi, a

native youth who cooked his food and

looked after him, squatting on his

heels at thee go of the water. -



“Matupi, I ate a message to deliv-

er,” he said. “Take the dugout and

go to Miso as fast as you can. There

tiaits of the hardy mountain head-

hunters, whose reputation for canni—

balism still made them feared by the

more peaceful Kebars and Amberbakis

of the coastal regions. A head -hunter

and cannibal turned pirate makes _a

fearsome person.



Mat Tawny’s little coasting vessel

had been ove1taken by Zulucca’s cut-

throats and appropriated fox their own

use. Mat was cast overboard for

shark’s ‘food, and for days he had

floated on a hen- -coop, fighting vigor-

ously for life, until finally cast upon

the mud flats washed by the back wa-

ters of Gilolo Pass. During those per—

ilous days and nights he had nursed

a spirit of revenge that ended in his

becoming lighthouse keeper at the

Pass.



A favo1ite trick of Zulucca’s was to

emulate the work of the wreckers of

our own North American coast in days

gone by, through the simple expedient

of swooping down on a lonely light-

house, cutting the throat of the keeper

and extinguishing the light. then calm-

ly waiting until some ship ran aground

on the sand spits or mud flats. After

that,‘the carnival of blood and looting

could go on unchecked.



Mat Tawny understood the practice

of the old pirates, and as the Gilolo

Pass Light was an important one he

figured sooner or later that he would

have a visit from Zulucca’s tribe, when

he hoped to square matters with the

old renegade.



It was a chance, and Mat had taken

it, but for three weary months noth-

ing had happened. Zulucca was ply-

ing his trade, it seemed, nearly every-

where except in Mat's vicinity, and in

the end Mat was growing sick of his

bargain. The eternal monotony and

loneliness of the place were driving

him mad.



“Another month of it, and I’d dive

into the black waters and end it all,”

he confessed to himself more than

once. “I’ll resign!”



It_wasn’t a pleasant decision. Old

Zulucca had robbed him of all he pos-

sessed, and unless he could recover

the Shark, his little coasting vessel,

he would continue indefinitely in bank-

1uptcy.



Then, when despair was at1tshe1ght,

Zulucca’s crew came. They did ‘not

swoop down upon him in the middle of

the night. They came in the daytime

to reconnoitre, and had they not come

in the Shark, which Mat instantly rec-

ognized through his glasses,





they‘





Activities of All Array—Slim Can W ear T Item I/V/zm He Goes After t/ze Cow:

at once!” ..





Matupi, glad of the change, lost no

time in getting off Mat watched him

until he was out of sight. Then he

turned to the pirate craft. It, too, had

disappeared. He smiled instead of

frowning. '



“Just as I thought,” he murmured.

“Zulucca’s laying his plans as usual.

The battle’s half won when you know

the enemy’s intentions?





The old pirate’s method was to rec-

onnoitre in the daytime, and, finding

everything safe, land a few of his crew

at a distance, who would visit the

light and prepare the way for the

night’s adventure. What was easier

than to have two or three cut-throats

visit the light and take possession?

Then all would be well when the right

moment came to extinguish the light.



Mat retired to the jungle—like shrub-

bery that crept almost to the water’s

edge, and remained in hiding for two

long, impatient hours. He was reward-

ed finally by the appearance of the

first envoy from the Papuan leader.

It was an old man, harmless looking,

and so weak and stiff that he required

a staff for support.



Mat smiled at the masquerade and

waited for him to draw nearer. He

stopped near the lighthouse and hailed

in a weak voice. No response coming,

hell toddled nearer and repeated the

Suspicion was in his eyes as he cast

them here and there in the brush. But

everything was quiet and still. Not

a sound or audible wave of bush. A

few birds rose with clamoring cries

and circled over the man’s head as he

neared the hut of Mat’s native helpers.



After that he approached more bold-

ly, rapping on the stilts that supported

the rickety house, then ascending the

latter and peering inquisitively inside.

His curiosity satisfied, he turned his,

attention to the lighthouse, which he

found equally silent and deserted. He

paused a moment on the high plat—

form, while his eyes searched the su1-

rounding jungle, and then as if praying

to Allah he raised his arms heaVen

ward and waved them slowly back and

forth.



Mat understood. It was a signal.

Twenty minutes later, he saw two

forms slinking through the bushes, and

as the old man continued to wave his

hands from the high paltform they





might have accomplished their purpose. 4 South

gharp lookout, but without exposing

hemselves. Mat remained hidden,

watching them through his leafy blind. .



S‘oft twilight came, and watched and

Watcher kept their vigilance. It Was

[not unusual for native keepers to de-

sert their posts in the day, return-ing

just before the hour of lighting up.

Even the white men did this, but they

always, got back in time, which could





not be said of the’ nativee—a very go'od ’





reason why none of the lights of the

first order were left in such unreliable

hands. The Gilolo Pass was not of

this class. Therefore, if Mat remained

away, wouldn’t Zulucca’s men reason

that a native keeper had forgotten to

return, and accept thesituation with-





, Out suspicion?





Twilight merged into darkness, it

spread over sea and jungle, and all

was in shadow. It came down sud‘

denly, as is the way in the straits.

Mat Tawny welcomed it as a relief

from the intolerable waiting. His blood

tingled with the adventure, for now

he had to put into effect the ruse he

had planned and prepared fo1 in the

past th1ee months.





The light was not- burning from the-





top of the tower, but red signal lant-

erns were waving to and fro. Mat

blinked at them, deep in sober

thought. aWhat did they portend? He

decided there was no time to lose.



To put three men out of the way

silently, swiftly and effectively was no

small job, especially when all three

were Papuan cut-throats, used to bat-

tle and hardened endurance. They

were tough, wiry customers. these de-

scendants of aron head-hunters, and

as full of tri s as a Malay slave-hunt-

er. Were they suspicious? Lf not, Why

the swinging lanterns? Mat did not

know, but he crept\out of the jungle

and made his way noiselessly to the

stairs that led to the high platform.



With a foot on‘ the first step, he

paused through some unaccountable

warning that danger lurked behind.





‘ He whirled around just in time to-es-





cape a descending creese wielded by

a figure shadowed in the dark. He

doubled suddenly and butted forward

in a whirlwind‘ of motion that caught

the pirate off guard. They went to

earth together, but the Papuan had no

breath left in him to fight or call to:





help. Mat’s head had butted very efli- '





ciently in the weakest part of the

anatomy of a Papuan or Malay pirate

——his stomach.



Mat turned the man’s own blade

upon him, and then scrambled to his

feet, ready for another shadow out of

the darkness. He realized now that





.the silent watcher had been waiting





for his, return, and he had stumbled

clumsily right into the trap.



The ‘two inside the short, squat tow«

er had not heard the struggle, but Mat

waited to make sure Then he began

climbing the steps with eat like t1ead.

At the top he caught the shadoWs of

the two inside. They had stepped sig-

naling that all was well to their com«

1ades, and were indulging in rest,

spraned out on benches. Mat glided



tothe entrance, and walked boldly in.



mHe .had no time to truss up his men.

It had to be a fight to the finish, for

Valspar Varnish-Stams; bedroom furniture transformed into stun-





ning period effects with Valspar—Enamels—all these are possible

with Valspar.





Valspar is the varnish that “won’t turn white.” Valspar resists the ac-

tion ofwater, weather and wear to an unequaled degree and should be used

wherever clear varnlsh lS needed, indoors or out.





Valspar Varnish-Stains are made of Valspar Varnish combined with

permanent, transparent colors to give natural wood effects, such as Light

or Dark Oak, Walnut, Mahogany, Cherry and Moss Green. The stain is

mixed in the Valspar so that both are applied at the same time, thereby

doing away with the old method of staining and varnishing separately.

Valspar Varnish—Stains bring out all the beauty of the grain in the wood.





Valspar-Enamels combine all of Valspar’s waterproof, wear-proof and

weather—proofqualities with beautiful, opaque colors. They are applied just

like paint, they cover the surface with a solid color just like paint—and

they have the added advantages of Valspar’s brilliant lustre and durability.

(They may be rubbed down to a beautiful dull finish, if desired.)





Valspar—Enamels are used on all kinds of wood and metal work and come

in Red—light and deep, Blue—[ig/zl, medium and deep, Green—medizun and

deep, Ivory, Bright Yellow, Vermilion, Gray and Brown. Also White,

Black, Gold, Bronze, Aluminum and Flat Black.

to finish a small table or chair. Send, too, for the Valspar Instruc—

tion Book. It gives much useful information in addition to the

Wisdom!- worked. and

I! or Mammy

Hemav'rhen‘





'thesefamous sites, .it‘ seems to bring

the Bible/account a little nearer.





The/lesson of this week repeats the

familiar story of the riot in Ephesus.

The cry wan,g“G-reat is Diana of: the

Ephesians!” . With (so 'widelyuecogniz-

ed a. religion, there must, have been a

large] temple. And so the work of the

archeologists proves. It is‘. an inter:

esting stOry——the finding of this

magnificent, ancient temple. Picking

up a marble slab, Mr. J. T. Wood, an

English archeologist, found a descrip-

tiou of a procession through the city.



The account mentioned a certain



Magnesian G at e.



Th 9 remains of



t he ' ~ Magnesian



Gate were found,

' 83nd next came



the tracing of the



roadway to the

temple itself. On

December 31, 1869,



Mr. Wood came

, upon the site of

the temple, under twenty feet of earth

and debris, the accumulations of cen-

turies. For five years hevtoiled on,

employing from 100 to 300 laborers

digging up the magnificent sculptured

columns, and the massive blocks in

white, blue, red and yellow marble,

now to be seen in the Ephesus gal-

lery in the British Museum. I quote

a few sentences from Professor C. M.

Cobern’s, “The New Archeological Dis-

coveries.” Mr. Wood found some

drums from ancient columns, so huge

that it took fifteen men fifteen days to

lift one of them from the pavement.

“These drums were twenty feet in cir-

cumference and six feet high, having

eight figures, all of life size, sculptur-

ed on them. He found hundreds of in-

scriptions, so that, when his excava-

tions ended in 1874, he had cleared

away 132,000 cubic yards of debris.

and was able to report with certainty

and fulness concerning this temple, so

famous in heathen and early Christian

history. '





The temple was octagonal,“ 160 feet

in width by 340 in length; its richness

may be imagined when we notice that,

instead of mortar, gold is reputed to

have been used between the joints of

the marble blocks. The Holy of H01-

ies was seventy feet wide and open to

the sky." So much for a starter on

this famous heathen temple, where the

goddess Diana reigned, whose devot-

ees made so much trouble for Paul.

A FEW‘ more facts will be of inter-



est. Of this glorious structure, the

temple, not a stone remains. When

the goddess -worship was at its normal

state, hundreds, and possibly thou-

sands, of priests were in constant at-

tendance. Many of the priestly cells.

have been found within the temple

area. Photographs of the remains of

the theatre and library at Ephesus

which have been excavated, show them

to have'been enormous buildings, and

of ‘the greatest beauty. it remarkable

flnd took place in 1904-1905. Under

the huge altar were found some two

thousand pieces of jewelry and other

gifts; ear-rings of all patterns, neck-





 





» laces, charms, brooches, and a thou-





sand other articles in gold, ivofy and

electrum. The weather was bad, the

diggers ‘worked waist deep in water

and slime, beaten with 'strong winds

and heavyrains. But they kept dog-





‘ ;..‘='gegzlyv‘at_it. bringing to light the most





d valuable discoveries.

l . rs di ,





’0‘” that the early,‘





Week’s 'lessojn were many small statué





sites of the goddess Diana, the kind

that the Ephesians became so excited

over, when Paul was' there. '



Paul had astonishing success in

Ephesus. The magicians burned their

books, and, many received Christ as

their Lord and Savior. What stopped

‘the’prog'ress of the work was the com—

mercial side of it. The trade in the

images of the goddess fell off. The

men who were promoting this were

boosting for a bigger, *better, busier

and possibly .boozier Ephesus. At

least, they! were out for In more idol-

atrous and money-making Ephesus,

which meant, more money for them-

selves. They viewed with alarm! The

value of the backs that were burned

was 50,000 Greek drachmas, which

Would be equal to not far from $100,-

.000 now. No wonder Luke cries exult-

antly, “So mightily grew the. word of

the Lord and prevailed.”



What is the. greatest evidence of

the vitality of the Christian religion

now? We have no such demonstra—

tions as Paul had at Ephesus. But

there must be a genuine vitality at the

heart of what we believe, else we

would cease to believe it. One thing

is certain. We cannot get far on a

second-hand religion. The other day,

at the international conference at

Stockholm, the Bishop of Dublin said,

“We are suffering from an inherited

Christianity, and we must substitute

for it an experienced Christianity.”

Paul had an experienced Christianity.

RADE is big. The eagle on the

dollar is eloquent. Trade ought

to be big. A nation without commerce,

or with a deadened commerce, is in a

bad way. It affects everything, to the

lage. But when trade rules, when it

, ate the e Hica‘ idéals‘. (and says to

religion, “thus rar’ may'f‘ye come and

lid farther," trade has passed its

bounds and has become anathema.

That is what happened in Ephesus.

The big stock market" men on Wall

Street in Ephesus put up such a howl

about the new religion's disturbing

their monopoly in imagies of Diana

that there they made themselves

heard. The same thing took place in

'one‘of our American cities two years

ago, when men who had been making

large contributions to the Y. W. C. A.

withdrew their support because the

leaders in the Y. W. C. A. .had endors-

ed certain -soc‘ial ideals in labor, hous-

ing and wages. The young women

told these men they might keep their

money. “Not for sale!" they cried.

Which is a refreshing reminder that

the spirit of the New Testament is

not dead and buried.





Says the late Sir W. Robertson Nic-

oll, editor of the British Weekly,

“What cries we have heard from those

who profess to defend liberty and the

saloon—~who would rather see a people

free than sober. What frenzies of zeal

on the part of rich brewers for the

poor man’s right to his beer! A man

easily persuades himself that the uni—

verse is in perilous plight, if his own

trade is threatened!”





   





Once again we see the efficient city

officer doing his appointed task. The

town clerk acted promptly and suc-

ceeded at last in quieting the excited

people. By the by, the name, “town

clerk,” in Greek, appears on some of

the tablets that have been unearthed

in Ephesus. Luke uses the correct

terms in his description.

The Gilolo Light





(Continued from page 398).





dead men tell no tales, and pirates in

particular used this argument for their

foul deeds. Therefore, Mat had no

qualms in inviting them to a fight in

which no quarters were asked or

given.





After the first shock of the surprise,

the two sprang at him from opposite

quarters, but ,Mat expected that, and

rather approved of it, for it gave him

a chance at one at a time. Like a

bull, urged on by what the cut-throats

had done to others in the past, he

rushed the nearest, and cut him down

with a blow that could not be broken

or parried. Then he whirled around

in time to face the other, who thrust

.his creese forward in a twirling mo-

tion, intending to disembowel him.

Mat dodged, and caught the point of

it in his coat sleeve.





The next instant the pirate went

down under the weight of a blow that

shattered his skull and made even a

faint outcry impossible. Mat stood a

moment, waiting and listening, and

then, wiping his blade, he turned to the

door, closed and locked it.





So far, his plan had worked success-

fully, but it was merely the beginning,

and much depended upon what follow-

ed. The Gilolo Light had a modern

electric equipment, with storage batter-

ies for emergencies, and a generator

operated by a small crude oil-burning

engine. The light itself was of the

stationary order, darkened on one side,

with its rays concentrated on the oth-

er three by ordinary polished reflect-

ors. ' It was not a powerful light, but

it sufficed to warn ships going through

the Pass.





Mat consulted his watch. It was

still early evening, and the Royal

Prince, a steamer of two thousand

tons, carrying the mails, much valu-

able freight and specie, besides many

passengers, was not due for two hours.

Mat snapped his .watch case, closed

and locked the door, and quickly de-

scended the rickety stairs, pausing at

the foot to listen and glance around





in the murgy shadows.





Then swiftly he skirted the shore,

following a trail that he had worn

smpoth-in' the past few months. It





crossed'the jungie edge at one point,





andthen ’came out on a neck of sand





and mud that jutted far out into the

water. The solitary trunk of an an-

cient tree, decayed by time, and partly

shattered by wind and storm, stood

like a solitary sentinel at the end of

the mud bar. It was hollow most of

the way up, and from its decayed

heart Mat drew forth a coil of wire, an

ordinary packing box lined with bright

tin, a cluster of electric bulbs, and a

number of tools.





He made three trips up the trunk

of the tree before he had his impro-

vised light installed. Then, after a

careful inspection of his wires that

connected with the

the lighthouse, he turned the handle of

a switch, chuckling to himself as he

did so. Gilolo light had merely shift-

ed its position; that was all. Even

the captain of the Royal Prince would

not know the difference until, in the

darkness, he ran his liner on the soft

mud bar, which the Pass light was in-

tended particularly to guard against.

When you entered the straits you head-

ed straight for the Gilolo Light, never

altering the course until within a hun-

dred feet of it, and then veered sharp-

ly two points to starboard.





Mat, chuckling and waiting at the

base of the tree; peered across the wa-

ter, wondering if Zulucca would walk

into the trap.



"‘I wonder if he’ll sail up here to in-

vestigate,” he muttered.





This was what he hoped the pirate

would do. There would be no time to

land another party up the coast. Za-

lucca would come in person, sailing

up close to the light, or" grow suspi-

ciorlisé and abandon the attack for that

n1g1 . ‘





Fear that he might do the latter dis—

turbed Mat’s pleasant reflections and

drove the smile from his lips. He he-

gan pacing restlessly back and forth,

looking often at his watch. In an hour

the Royal Prince would be due. Be-

fore she came the dummy light had to

be extinguished and the Gilolo Light

replaced, or there would be disaster

in the straits that night!



The minutes passed, slowly ticking

away the time that was so precious to

the lonely watcher. Save for the queer

noises of the jungle back of him, and





,th‘e‘rippling of the waters in front, the





night was heavy with silence—the si-

could not pierce the curtain cf black,—

ness that enveloped land and sea. .



“The sly old fox has smelt some-

thing!” Mat fumed and growled. “I

might have known he wouldn’t walk

into the trap.” '



Disappointed. and cursing his luck,

he glanced up at his light, and then

back again at the water. Suddenly he

blinked and winked, closing and open«

ing his eyes to clear them of any mists

of illusion.

Out of the blackness of the strait, ' .,

two colored eyes were twinkling-a

ment. Then a, soft, lnarticulate cr

escaped his lips. ,



.“A craft of some kind was heading

for the light, Zulucca’s or some other,

sailing straight out of the darkness,

its phantom sails still invisible, but

flapping uneasily in the light breeze.

Mat heard them and was willing to

swear they belonged to his “beloved

Shark.”



As the phantom ship approached,

the lights grew stronger until they

seemed so near that he could hail

them. Still they came on, winking and

blinking like green and red fireflies,

holding steadily to their course. Mat

stopped breathing for fear that he

might frighten them away.



Then followed a' quick change. The

red disappeared, and the green wob-

bled erratically, and came to a dead

standstill. A rumble of voices, quick

orders, shifting of tackle and the dull

flapping of sails. A moment later the

commotion turned into a babel of

strange dialects.





Then the dummy light disappeared,

extinguished by a twist of Mat’s hand,

and nothing but darkness lay over the

land and sea. Through the gloom Mat

caught a faint glimpse of phantom

sails, and was satisfied. .



“Half an hour!” he muttered, con«

sulting his watch.



The Shark was hard and fast on the

mud flat where the false beacon had

lured her. In half an hour the Royal

Prince would come steaming through

the straits.





Mat- ran headlong back to the light-

house. Disconnecting his long wires

laid through the jungle, he hastily re-

paired the break and turned on the

Gilolo Light. He sat down a moment

to scribble on a pad:



“Zulucca’s ship is hard and fast on

the mud at Monkey Point. Give them

hell, and I’ll pick them off as they

land. But don't damage his ship more

than necessary. It’s mine.”



Signing this, and addressing it to

Superintendent Bardlow, he placed it

on a. table under a lamp, and then has-





, tily withdrew and hurried back to the





stunted tree at Monkey Point.



When he arrived there, he crept cau-

tiously to the water’s edge. The pir-

ates were making frantic efforts to

haul the Shark off the flat. If a boat

had landed to investigate the meaning

of the strange light, it had returned

to the Shark to lend assistance.





Zulucca Was more intent upon get-

ting his vessel out of the sticky mud

than scouring the landscape, and the

noises waited across the water to Mat

indicated the progress he was making.

Judging from the orders and angry

curses, this was not as much as he

desired.





Concealed in the bushes, Mat watch-

ed and waited, consulting his watch

occasionally with a lighted match con-

cealed under his hat. Fifteen minutes

and the Royal Prince would be due!

He hoped and prayed she would be

late. She generally was, but it might

be her night when she would be on

time.





Ten minutes of the time, and noth-

ing had happened! He cast wistful

glances at the light, now shining so

calmly in its true place. Five min-

utes! Then a distant rumbling whistle.



“The Royal Prince!” he muttered,

jumping to his feet.



Zulucca must have heard it, too, for

silence suddenly reigned on the water.

Was the old fox preparing a desperate

attempt to board the steamer as she

slowly steamed through the straits?

Or would he hang out the distress sig-

nal to stop her? Either way, there was

danger, and Mat began nervously pac-

ing back and forth.



In the midst of his excited agitation,

a blinding light out through the night

and illuminated the face of the wa-

ters, bringing out clearly every object,

and directly in the center of it was

Ehet Shark, hard and fast on the mud

a .



“The gunboat!” Mat exclaimed,

cheering. “Matupi didn’t get the sleep-

ing sickness on the way!”



A moment of intense silence, an om.

inous pausing before the storm, and

then came the rattling of small arms,

punctuated by the louder crash of a

two-pounder and a rapid-firing colt.



The pandemonium that broke out on

the Shark was music to Mat’s ears.

Zulucca was at last getting his reward.

the momentous interval



when Eve plucked the fatal apple

. in the Garden of Eden, there have

always been a few super-efficient





housekeeping fanatics. .





Just naturally imbued with the neat-

~as-a-pin and could-eateff—the—floor com-

plex, they make life an essence of the

bitter-sweet. The aroma of a bar of

soap, the sight of a bristly scrubbing

brush, sends them into an orgy of

cleaning, that only a death in the fam-

ily could interrupt. .



It is no use to tell them that they

are killing themselves with unneces-

sary work. They go right on scrub-

bing the cellar steps and polishing the

attic furniture with as much velocity

as -Napoleon used in his triumphal

charge at Waterloo. ‘



Everybody enjoys a clean house——

man, woman, and child. There is a

‘warm, welcoming air to the room that

has rested tired peoplevthat the repel-

lent, unused room can never com-

mand.



Certainly, it is every woman’s duty

to be a good housekeeper——to keep her

rendezvous clean and tidy, to set an

attractive table; but ifshe carries the

good housekeeping idea to excess, she

makes it a vice instead of a virtue.



There should be moderation in all

. all the duties as well as

pleasures of life, that the crime

of squandering it is equal to the

folly.—Dr. Johnson.





 





things, and a wise woman chooses the

middle path. She keeps her house

clean, but not too clean; she serves

her family plenty of wholesome food,

but does not make a burnt offering of

herself over the kitchen stove, con—

cocting elaborate dishes that the fam-

ily devours in five minutes.



An over-clean house and a nerve

frazzled woman are simultaneous equa-

tions. No woman in the wide, green

world can work like a galley slave all

day and be companionable at night.

Unknowingly, she drives her‘husband

off to the neighbors’ or the machine

shop; she drives the kiddies out to

seek consolation ’mid the geese and

Chickens. Friends and neighbors smile

knowingly as they are greeted at her

door by, “Now, don’t look at this dirty

house!” '



Indeed, she is a wise Woman who

budgets her health and strength as

competently as she budgets her mon-

ey, who keeps enough vitality in re-

serve that she may smile cherubically

and a happy family may have celestial

comfort—~Mrs. H. B. G.





 





HELPLESS? NOT MUCH!





 





.PROBLEMS to solve every day! My





most recent one was: How could

I, a busy mother and housekeeper,

give up my job for awhile?

ed ankle.” Two weeks later an X-Ray

showed a broken bone. The doctor’s

and managed the preparation of’é‘th‘e.

I sat by the kitchen table and wash?

children putting them away. One

swept the kitchen, rooms were put in

order, beds made, then faces were

washed, hair combed, clothes changed,

and three children were ready” for the

school bus at eight a. m. ‘



My husband’s business takes him

away many days, but my days were

not lonesome. Letters were written,

telephone calls wereanswered. Kind

friends came every day, bringing flow-

ers and cheer. My dear old mother

came for a few days. A near neighs

bor did the things left undone.



The twins were given a share of the

eggs for feeding and caring f6r the

farmflock of hens. ‘ _



On Saturday when the children were

home all day, the porches were clean-

ed with ,a hose, small rugs were taken

up and shaken. Large ones were clean-

ed with .a vacuum cleaner.

solution, you would have hesitated only long enough to count the letters in’

“recreation” to make sure all ten were there, and then scribed those ten

letters in their respective squares. Then, if a little further down, the vertical

column of the puzzle called for a word of five letters meaning national diver-

sion, with no previous key to follow, you would have pondered for some time

until you happened upon that affectionately expressive word, “movie.” And we

use that term “movie” even in the best society. But, since the time we first

saw a motion picture, the term has changed in meaning. Instead of implying

the kind of a show used to empty vaudeville theatres of patrons who had

designs upon seeing a shbw twice for one admission price, the movie has

grown into a first class entertainment.



With apologies to Dayton, Tennessee, we might call this change the evo-

lution of the movies, an evolution that has brought a source of amusement

to a great class of people. Without the movies, there would have been cheap

shows that the majority could afford to attend. But the class of production

would have, of necessity, been cheap, and not conducive to mental and phy-

sical refreshment. ., , '



The great motion picture corporations have not failed to keep stride with

the times.





many of the recent big productions are masterpieces of filming.



When speaking of the progress of the movie world, I am reminded of

one of Abe Lincoln’s stories. ‘



“In early times,” related Mr. Lincoln, “there were three churches in a

rather small frontier town, the Methodist, Presbyterian, and Baptist—all

orthodox. Then, one day, a smart universalist minister came along, and began

to preach with a View of establishing a church of his own. This alarmed .the ‘

orthodox preachers, and they consulted together to see what they should do

about it. Their conclusion was to take turns and preach the intruder down.

It fell to the lot of the Presbyterian preacher to set the ball rolling. He

began by reminding his congregation how rapidly they were getting"along in

their little community, both spiritually and'otherwise. ,, ‘And now,’,said the

Presbyterian minister, “there comes among us a stranger to estabfish achurch

on the belief that all men are to, be saved; but my brethren, let us'hopeIOr

better things.’ ” . ~ . , ” " ,_ " ' '-



Though the masterpiecesof the movies ,may seem to, have reached the





dizzy height of attainment, we hope for them, as for. all things, that they.~ -





may be still better.

. Please give-me a recibie for making

cider vinegar.-—-Mrs. J. ‘ -.





Wash ripe apples and crush in a

cider mill or run through a food chop-

per. Squeeze out the juice in a press

and "strain into\a clean jar, keg, or

' barrel. For every' five gallons of juice,

add one cake at yeast, which is soft-

ened by soaking in a cupful of the

liquid. Stir the juice after the” yeast

is added. Then cover it with a clean

cloth~ to Resp out insects, and allow

it tb'fe‘rment four or five days, keeping

the juice frOm eighty to ninety degrees

Fahrenheit. A second fermentation

is necessary to make vinegar. This is

called the acetic acid fermentation.

Before this starts, the juice will cease

bubbling. When this occurs, it is wise

to add one gallon of good, strong vin-

egar to every five gallons of the fer-

mented juice. This is not necessary,

but will give more satisfactory and

uniform results. '



After adding the vinegar, cover the

juice with a clean cloth and set in a

dark place, having a temperature of:

from seventy to ninety degrees Fah-

renheit. Air should be allowed to en-

ter, but the film which forms on top

should not be disturbed. 1When the

vinegar has become sour enough,

strain into Jugs or bottles and cork

tightly.





and keep it up for a month. If this is

not sufficient, cut it another ten per

cent. Avoid fats, sweets, butter, cream,

and an excess of starchy foods. You

will find the leafy" vegetables safe and

they will help fill up without fattening.

'A, Hallowe’cn ’Party





NCE upon a time, there was a



Cat and a Witch. The Witch



said to the Cat that she would

like to have all the Cats in the world

come to live with her on a‘ certain

day. But,"you' see, only the Black

Cats came, and that is why we always

have them on Hallowe’en.





“Well, then,” said the Witch, “if

all the Cats in the world will not live'

with me, 'theydo not need to. So I





 





 





 





Hobgoblins. Then we will all meet

on Hallowe’en," said the Witch.



So on Hallowe’en, they had a party.

The most exciting thing they did was

to duck for apples. The Cats ducked

first, then the Pumpkins, and finally

the Hobgoblins. After they were all

through, the Witch asked, “Who do

you think won?" They all said the

Pumpkins did it best. So it was de-

cided that the' Pumpkins should get

the prize.



Then the-Witch brought out some

thing that was all wrapped up and

gave it to the Pumpkins. They opened

it and there was a. little Pumpkin.

Then they wondered what to name it.

Someone’said, “Let’s name him Jack.”

They all agreed, 'and that is why they >

call pumpkins, Jacked-Lanterns, on

Hallowe’en. ,

Dear Uncle Frank and M. C.’s:



Truly, it does seem like coming

home to write to you all again. It has

been quite a while since I took part

in your activities. Perhaps some ;of

you will remember me’ when I say that

I used to write from Color-ado when

I was there for my health. I used to

receive four and five letters a day

from boys and girls who read the Mich-

igan Farmer. I enjoyed all of them so

very much.



Nothing in particular has happened,

except I finished up my high school.

I am having one of the best times of

my life.





Last Sunday, I met for the first time





 





Marshall Close, Ten Years Old, is‘ An“

Aggressive Farmer.





an M. C. girl correspondent who wrote

to me when I was in the west. It

seemed as though I had known her

always. I wish that I might see all

the old correspondents. Wouldn’t it

be fine to print head and shoulder pic-

tures of them in the paper some week,

instead of the regular letters? .



Will some of those with whom I





used to correspond please Write to

me? I promise to answer.





I would like to discuss some of your '





subjects, but I must confess that I

have rather lost out on what is going

on. I think I shall have to start read-

ing again. ’



Thanks, Uncle Frank, for remember-

ing me. I’m glad to be considered as

one of you yet. I wish you the most

success possible—As ever, Hazel

Crowell, 310 West Cass Street, St.

Johns, Mich.





 





Dear Uncle Frank and Cousins;



I have been one busy girl sinceyou

heard from me last time; but I usu-

ally take time to glance over our M.

0. page, read the letters, and see how

the contests are coming. I always did

enjoy the contests, but I quit writing

before the M. C. buttons came out, for

which I have always been very sorry.

I might say right here, to the boys

and girls who are now Merry Circlers

and have buttons——keep them. Even

after you have passed the M. C. age

limit, you will never forget those d s,

and the little button will be regar ed

as a prize. I have seen the buttons,

even though I didn’t get one.



Perhaps I had better tell you a little

about what I have been doing since I

wrote to Uncle Frank and the Merry

Circle page. I have been doing most

everything but going to school. Just

the same, I like to go visit the school.

That’s lots of fun, you know. My bus-

iest days have been during the past

year, especially the last summer and

this fall. About a year ago this month

and next, I was busy in conventions,

and'at one ,of them was elected Shier"

wassee County Superintendent of

Children’s Work in the Sunday School

Association of Michigan. That kept

- me pretty busy and away from home

- j quite a b t of the time, too. This sum-



-mer in une, my father was hurt in

. an accident with the roller and horses,

' and was in Memorial Hospital, Owos-





: From 7 the '





Tay’ZI/Séaw 01.1.9.5... 9' F0





so, for about two weeks; then, when

he came home,- I was the One .to act

as “nurse.” September 11,-1 went 'to

Kalamazoo to enter the Bronson Meth-

odist Hospital to take upmurse'train-

ing, and got homesick. Boys and girls,

if you ever get homesick and no one

sympathizes with you, just writeme

about it and I certainly will, for I

know whatit is. I finally had to come

home, and am going to sta‘rt in train-

ing at Memorial Hospital in Owosso

on’ January 1. That’s nearer home,

you see. . -



I sincerely hope that the week that

Uncle Frank has set apart just for

us, will be a real success, and I feel

sure all the Merry Circlers will do

their best to make it so. Our first

Home-comings I think it is just fine.

If .anyone deserves one, I really think

We do. What do the rest of the M.

C.’s think about it?



We must have quite a big band now;

haven’t we? If you know, Uncle

Frank, just how many there are of us,

will ‘you let us know in our Home-

coming issue of the Michigan Farmer?

You, no doubt, know who have but-

tons; but don’t forget there are some

of us who didn’t get a chance to get

them, and .we are members, too. Count

us, or you might see a crowd of .us

coming into your office some day arm-

ed to express to you our legal place

in the Circle. Wouldn’t we, boys and

girls? '



With best wishes for a real success-

ful Home-coming Week, and thanks to

good old Uncle Frank for his kind-





nesses to us all.~—Ferne A. Bishop,"





Henderson, Mich.

Dear Uncle and Cousins:

Here I am again. If no one else

remembers me, Uncle Frank does.

He wanted to hear from the old-

,timers, so I am writing to let him

know that I am still in existence

and that I am still interested in

that wonderful M. 0. Club. I am

sure that anyone else who has

7 become an M. C. member will nev-

er lose interest in the “Boys” and

Girls" page.



,- Maybe some' of you wonder if I

am still “slingin’ the ink” as I'

used to. Yes, I am still at it,

making the ink fly right and left.

I’ve been making some spare-time

money with it this summer.



I’ve read some letters in the M.

C. page stating-their various ambi-

tions. I think this is very good.

It might inspire some shiftless

lads and lasses to stick to some-

thing. Where there is a. will,

there is a way. Some might dis-

agree with that, but it stands

pretty good yet.



Well, I must close, as it is get-

ting late in the evening. Here's

hoping you may hear from all

those who have once been mem-

bers of the M. C. and that the

“Boys’ and Girls’ Page".will be as

big and interesting as ever.



I remain, your nephew, Alfred

Alfredson, Whitehall, Mich.

ation, cleanliness, tranquility and hu-

mility are virtues that are especially

\to be emphatically practiced, and let

us pray their latent power might pen-

Dear "Uncle Frank:





It“ has been quite a while since I

have written to you, but the other

M. C.’s letters have been very in-

in a doctor’s office this summer,

and have been quite busy- '



I am considering myself out of

your Merry. Circle Club now. I

have been eighteen since last May,

but I haven’t written since then.

My interest still lies in the build-

I feel rather guilty for not send-



ing something to make it grow



more rapidly, so I am inclosing



a contribution to add ,to the fund.



I can’t understand what has hap‘

pened to all of my correspond-

ents. I knowit took me an awful

long time to answer some of their

letters when we first moved here,

but have failed to hear from any

'Jumbled Contact





E-‘have not had one of

these for a long time, so

here’s one. Try to make sense

out of the four lines below.

When you get the letters in the

'proper place, you will have four

lines which give a good hint.

After you get the verse correct,

write it neatly on a piece of pa-

per, put your name and address

in the upper left-hand corner of

the paper, put M. C. after your

name, if you are a Merry Circ-

ler, and then send the paper to

Uncle Frank, Michigan Farmer,

Detroit, Michigan. .

All the correct papers will be

mixed in a basket and ten lucky

ones pulled out. The first two

will win pencil boxes; the next

three, dictonaries, and the next

five, handy pocket knives. All

who get correct solutions to

this puzzle, and are not Merry

Circlers, will get M. C. buttons

and membership cards. The

contest closes October 10.

ship and crew to their

fate. One boat was launched, but the

searchlight of the gunboat picked it

up, and its guns soon made a wreck

of it. A second met a like fate, but a

third reached the end of the point be-

fore sinking, and its demoralized crew

waded ashore. .



This was the moment the silent

watcher had been waiting for. He op-

ened fire on them, slowly and deliber-

ately, picking hi

the searchlight. Each time his gun

spoke, a pirate stumbled. Too demor-

alized to return the fire, the crew

broke for cover, and scrambled for the

protecting shelter of the jungle.



Mat emptied his last shell, and then

sprang at them with his long Malay

creese. A burly pirate turned sudden-_

1y on him and fired point—blank. The

bullet whistled close to Mat’s ears, but

before the man could shoot again Mat

was on him, the two going down to-

rolled over and over in the mud, plas~

tering their bodies from head to foot

with the sticky sci], and fighting des-

perately for the upper hand.





For what seemed an age they fought

with equal advantage. Then Mat freed

a hand and brought the hilt of his

creese down so hard on the other’s

skull that the bones seemed to crack.



When the first boat from the war-

ship reached shore, Mat was sitting

Dear UncleFrank:



I am busy most of the time with

my school work, asI am teaching this

year. I went to summer school at

Michigan State College from the mid

die of June to the last of July. The

last day I was at school was Farmers’

Day, and, as usual, it rained hard all

day long. My aunt, uncle and cousins,

my grandfather, grandmother and my

folks came there but didn’t enjoy them-

selves any because of the rain. While

I made the ac-

quaintance of a girl from East Lan-

She and I were together most

of the time, and we are still together

quite a good deal, as she teaches just

about two miles and a half from my

home. She teaches about thirty-five

miles from her home. I am teaching

fifteen miles fronrhome, and drive

back and forth, night and morning.

You can see by that, that I have to

start about seven in the morning. I

generally don’t get home until after

six, so I- put in full days.





I certainly miss answering the con-

tests since I got “too old” to answer

them. Ha! I am still using the foun-

tain pen I received as a prize about a

year ago, and it’s still in fine writing

order.



I must close, as I have one or two

more letters to write—Love to you

and all the cousins.—-Joycie E. Purdy,

Based on the way growers have re-

ed. This would be about the same

number as farrowed in the spring

Such an increase looks like a liberal

one, but the chances are that the pigs

born next spring will sell at reason-

ably satisfactory prices, and that in

the fall of 1926~ growers will make





to be born in the spring of 1927. If

they do, when those pigs come to mar-

Why .Prices See-saw

Human nature is slow to change. As

far back as the records extend, hog

growers have been going from ex-

treme over-production to extreme un-

der-production, and back again. There

was a. time when the available infor—

mation was so inadequate that they

could scarcely help themselves. But,

that is no longer true. Through the

certainty when production is going too

far either way, and when a period of

unusually high or low prices may be

expected. Yet, not five producers out

of a hundred will modify their plans

because of such reports. In conse-

quence, we can expect the old see-saw

in prices to continue. In the course

of time, these alternating ups . and

downs may be leveled off, but that

possibility need not be taken into ac-

count at present.



In the last sixty-five years, the hog

market cycles have averaged almost

exactly five years in length from peak

to peak, or. from one trough in the

price curve to the «next. The tendency

has been for them to get shorter, how-

ever. Each of the last two cycles has

been slightly under three years, and

the'last six cycles have averaged, only

three years and nine months in length.

Possibly the tendency to produce fall

pigs more extensively than informer

years has shortened the period re-

quired to bring about over-production.





Cycles Are Shortening. N

The present hog markeccycle, count-

ing from the last price peak to the

period of high prices through which

we are now passing, was shorter than

usual. Last March was the high point

thus far, with an average of $13.55. It

would not be safe to count forward

from that date twenty-two months,‘the

usual period between a. high and a low,

in trying to locate the next low spot

in hog prices. For one thing, there is

a possibility~rathen remote——oi’ still

higher prices, since light receipts are

due this winter and next spring. Then,

while the average time'irom a high

to‘ a low has been twenty-two months,

it has varied in "the last ‘six cycles,

which extendbaclr @1902. from clown .

Naturally. after such, a period of are

tremely unfavorable prices,_,producers

needed ’time to ,j regain courage. The

mass mind of the hog-raising world

does not comprehend at once the sig~

nificance of such changes. Only a

small percentage of gfiiwers realized-

that the favorable corn-hog ratio was

likely to last without interruption for

many months, perhaps fully as, long as

it previously was unfavorable.



' As a result, growers did‘not'plan to a

raise more pigs'thfs fall than last fall.



The pig crop of next spring, however,



will undoubtedly show a. decided in-

crease, perhaps as much as twenty per



cent. Then, the pig crop‘in the'fall



of 1926 will be larger than it was this



fall,“ and ,the 1927 spring pig crop will

probably be larger than that of next

spring. Before 1927 is over, prices are

likely to _be unfavorable, and growers

once more will be applying the brakes

- to production. ‘





A handsome profit in converting

corn into hogproducts'is assured in

the next “twelve months. The only,

problem will be to find enough hogs.

The pig crop born in 1926 wilLbe large

enough to use, a. normal corn crop and

perhaps a little more, so that it will

not be surprising if corn goes up again

in the spring and summer of 19.27, with

hogs, low enough to make the corn-

hog ratio unprofitable once more. Of

course, a corn crop failure in 1926

would call for a new basis of reck-

oning. " ~



Where Will the Demand 60?



Demand also is subject to change.

For three years a relatively high level

of urban employment at lofty wages

has been maintained, and domestic

consumers have not been obliged to

stint in the purchase of pork. These

conditions will not continue indefinite

ly,‘ of course. A rather decided slows . I

ing down in industrial activity is one

of the possibilities of the,next two

years. This would tend to hasten the

arrival of the next period of low pric-

es for hogs. “Fair weather,” however,

is still the reading of the barometers

which usually foretell six or eight

months ahead when such changes in

business are coming. '





Exports of hog products thus far in ’;



1925, have been the smallest in years.

High prices checked British buying of

our hams .and bacon in spite of the

reduced supplies available from Ben

mark. High prices for lard seem to

have reduced sales to Germany, even



more- than depreciating currency did ‘1 _ ‘



in 1923. In addition, Germany has had i



fairly liberal home-grown supplies 01' ii

hog products this year. The German

tariff of sixty-five cents, and $1.55 per

imports. No great change in the h

With an, abundance of corn in most

_ the decrease in numbers.



It is probable that the fall run will

be a little late in starting, because

producers did not have grain‘to push

pigs during the summer. .In addition,

the fall and Winter movement, as a

There are in the cooperative great

hopes that we can even gain in indi-

viduality, equality of opportunity, and

an enlarged field of initiative, and at

the same time reduce many of the

wastes of over-reckless. competition in

production and distribution. Those

who either congratulate themselves,oor

those who fear that cooperation is an

advance towards socialism, need neith-

er rejoice nor worry. Cooperation in its

current economic sense represents the

initiative of self-interest blended with

the sense of service—Herbert Hoover.

Poisoned Horses—I wish you would

tell the readers of the Michigan Farm-

er that feeding ensilage to horses

caused the death of several fine ani-

mals in this locality. The same kind

of food failed to harm the cows. R.

P., Hancock, Mich.





Chronic Cough—I have a heifer that

has been troubled with a cough for the

past eight months, and we believe the

trouble is in the throat. J. H.’G., Lud—

ingtdn, Mich—Apply equal parts tinc—

ture of iodine and camphorated oil to

throat once a day. Give her a tea-

spoonful of muriate of ammonia in

soft feed three times a day»





- Ringbone—Bloody Milk—For the

past two years my mare has been trou—-

bled with ringbone in both front feet.

Have a cow that gives bloody milk

from one front quarter. J. F. M., Fair-

view, Mich.—-Clip off hair, apply one

part red iodide of mercury, four parts

of lard every ten days, and give her

rest. After milking, apply cold water

to affected quarter. Rough milking is

coirlrllimon cause of cows giving bloody

m .





’ Cows Eat Wood.—Why do cows run-

ning in good pasture prefer to eat

wood and chew bones? By doing so

they reduce in flesh, and milk flow

shrinks. A. K., Auburn, Mich—Lick-

ing disease, or pica, is a peversion of

the. appetite manifested by a craving

for unnatural food. Associated with

the symptoms of perverted appetite

are nervous nutritive disturbances, but

the causes of pica are not known.

Keeping the cattle out of doors, espe-

cially on well-drained pastures, and

WWWIWMME erinarians have obtained fairly good

results by giving apomorphin in two





or three grain doses three times a.

day for three days. If you feed grain

or ground feed- two or three times,

give each cow a tablespoonful of the

following compound powder, made by

mixing a quarter pound of powdered

fenugreek, quarter pound of carbonate

of iron, quarter pound of powdered

gentian, one pound of bone flour, half

pound of common salt. It is consid-

ered good practice to give each cow

plenty of powdered wood or cob char-

coal in their feed.





Ringworm.~Several of our calves

are troubled with ringworm. G. L.,

Marian, Mich—First soak crusts in

oil and remove them with green soap

and water. Paint diseased area daily

with tincture of iodine, or rub in oint-

ment (one to eight) of iodine crystals

and goose grease once daily.



Dog Has Fits—My collie pup, ten

months old, has been having fits for

several months, but he seems to get

over them. Abscess formed and broke

between the eye and ear and has not

yet healed. He had three fits since

this abscess opened. What ails him?

R. A., Northville, Mich—I am in-

clined to believe that your pup has

epilepsy; if so, he will not recover.

Apply boric acid to sore twice a day,

and keep his bowels open.





Spavin.——I have a mare nine years

old which is suffering with spavin.

Can you give me some good remedy

that. I can prepare and apply myself?

H. R. N., Homer, Mich.~Clip off hair,

apply one part red iodide of mercury,

four parts lard, to be well rubbed in

once every ten days. Absolute rest

is of as much importance as treatment

with drugs; therefore, he should not

be exercised for two months.





Scours.—F6r the past three years

our calves have been troubled more

or less with scours. The calves suck

the cow, then .We veal the calf, if it

lives. Subscriber, Wayne Cou ty.~Re-

peated cleaning and disin ection of

your premises is necessary as well as

:the treating of each calf’s navel at

birth, also cleaning the cow’S‘udder,

and giving the calf vaccine. You will

find it no easy task to get rid of calf

scour infection.

WHEAT





The strong cash wheat market and

a shift in the speculative balance of

power brought a rally in wheat prices

in the past week. On the upturn, the

purchase of substantial quanities of

Canadian wheat for import took 'the

keen edge from the cash Situation.

Both Winnipeg and Liverpool lagged

behind on the upturn in this country,

although both have shown marked re-

sistance on declines. Importing coun-

tries expect that prices w1ll continue

low and are maktilng noteffgrt tobbuy

ahead. 'orld s ipmen s ave een

large engigh to add about 7,500,000

bushels to stocks on ocean passage

last month.



Until something happens to mar the

southern hemisphere crop outlook,_or

it becomes evident that European im-

port needs have been underestimated,

a sustained advance in world prices is

unlikely. Since our markets are al—

ready on the edge of an import baSlS,

it is useless to expect much further

premium over the world level. Under

the circumstances, a sideWise move—

ment is rather probable until world

prices proceed to a higher or lower

level. If another break does occur, it

is not likely to be very severe.





RYE





Rye prices remain on a feed grain

level. Exports in the last two months

have totalled only about 650,000 bush—

els, while at least 25,000,000 bushels

can be spared during the crop year.

The visible supply continues to in-





creas e.

OATS





The oats market has moved sidewise

for three weeks. Primar receipts

have fallen off nearly a thir , commer-'

cial demand has been equal to _the

arrivals recently, and the last Vismle

supply report showed a. small decrease,

the first since the new crop began to

move. Export business has been quiet

recently, and clearances fell off sharp-

ly last week. Conditions favor further

export sales, however.



CORN



Corn receipts have been extremely

li lit in the last ten days, and country

0 erings have been small, With feed-

tions. Liberal arrivals of new corn

i SEEDS





Clover ’seed prices . made further

gains last week. Receipts have been





delayed by rains which made hulling: _

prices will undoubtedly resume their-





late in some sections, and demand. was

lively. October is usually a. month of

heavy receipts, however, and supplies

during the next few weeks may act as

a check on the rising price trend. Al-





sike prices are firm. A big percentage ..





of the “receipts is of excellent quality

which brings top prices. '





FEEDS -



The feed market is slowly develop

ing a better tone. Demand was more

active last week, and .wheat feeds

showed more strength. VFlour produc-

tion maintains a high volume,6how-

ever, so that unless a real consump-

tive demand develops, wheat feed pric-

es cannot make much progress.





BUTTER





Recent weakness in the butter mar-

ket was short-lived, and prices at the

large distributing markets have al-

ready regained much of the losses of

a week ago. Receipts were smaller

again, and with the cold weather so

close at hand, necessitating housing

and feeding of cows earlier than ex-

pected, it is unlikely- that supplies will

show any increase from now on. Deep

inroads are being made into reserve

stocks of butter. Holdings on October

1, according'fo the department of ag-

riculture, totaled 114,167,000 pounds, a

shortage of practically 40,000,000

pounds under the same date a year

ago, but slightly larger than the five-

year average. Foreign markets are

strengthened by seasonally light sup-

plies, and since butter from the south-

ern hemisphere will not be available

in quantity until along in November,

prices will probably continue strong.





. With the statistical situation appar-





ently'so favorable, and advances so

easy to effect and maintain, it is diffi-

cult to foresee anything but an ad-

vancing butter market for the next

month at least.

DETROIT CITY MARKET





Though the potato market continued

steady, buying was slow at the prices

asked. Most products were in liberal

supply, and buying in general was fair:

ly active. Quinces were snapped up

readily, but the demand for pears was

limited. .Melons were in little demand.

Bunched stuff of all kinds was in

stronger demand. The call for onions

and cabbage was limited. Poultry of-

ferings were moderate and sold mostly

at retail. "

_ Receipts of cattle have increased in

numbers but declined in quality in the

last few weeks. Arrivalsat present

are the largest of the season, and 25

per cent greater than late in Septem-

ber. At the same time, choice and

prime steers at Chicago, the only point

where an actual count of kinds is

made, have been the scarcest since the

spring'of 1924. _ -

Sanilac ‘00., Oct. 10.——Beans badly

damaged; many fields are standing

yet, waiting fer good weather. More

wheat sowed than usual; just starting

the sugar beets. They are a fair crop

here. Prices low on all grains except

wheat,‘ which is $1.44 now. Clover

seed no good. Lots of apples, but no

one has time to pick them. Potatoes

are good. Pastures getting short, al-

though it rains every other day—J. M.



Kalamazoo 60., Oct. 16.——Weather

conditions have been ideal for the

growth of wheat; the outlook at pres-

,ent‘is about 100 per cent. The late

potato‘crop is light, and tubers are

selling right around the dollar mark.

Apples are plentiful, and prices range

from 500@$1.25 per bushel at the or-

chard. Hen fruit is about the scarcest

thing right now. Eggs are selling at

38@4OC per dozen. Butter-fat is 420.

The corn crop is up to average. Many

are utilizing hogs and lambs to do the

harvesting. Pastures are good for this

time of year; Conditions are a little

easier, ncially, and farmers are

spending some money for repairs and

imxirovl'ietnents to their buildings.—





 





Kalkaska County.—The potato crop

is light. We are receiving about $1.50

per cwt. Pasture is fine. Wheat and

rye are looking good. About the usual

acreage sown; Buckwheat and beans

are being harvested. The yields will

be rather light on account of the dry

summer. There is plenty of rain this

all. ‘ -



'Calhoun Cou.nty.-—About the same

acreage of wheat was sown this year

as in 1924. A little less rye went in.

All seeding was late on account of

continued wet weather. Fall pasture

never looked better. Late" potatoes

have not yet been dug. We had a good

'crop of early ones- Not a large crop

amount of fall crops was sown. Late



tatoes are an excellent crop. Sugar

Gratlct County.--The usual acreage

ot wheat was sown in this county this

late as the. tenth of October. Pasture

is good. Some'beans are being mar-
