REE fruits ripen at difierent Sea- ~~





’ sons of the year, all the way

from the month of May to Sep-

tember and October. Seeds that ripen

in the springs such as silver and red

maples, and the elms, usually sprout

immediately and accomplish consider-





-' able growth before winter.





The majority of tree s’eed, however,

matures either in late summer or fall,





'and this seed usually lies on the





ground until spring before geiminat-

ing.

The following tree seeds ripen in





-the fall and some method of storing





over winter is" advisable. The list of

trees is as follows: Hard maple, ash,

oaks, .beech,

hickories and walnut in October.



All of the above tree seeds 'may be

planted in the ,fall of the year.

objection to planting in the fall, how-

ever, .is the danger that the seed will

be eaten before spring by either birds

or rodents, such as rats, mice, squir-

rels and chipmunks. In order to be

sure of having the seed the following

spring, some method of storage is ad-

visable.





When storing seed, it is essential





- that it is. not allowed to dry out, as





this reduces the chances of germina—

tion. Neither is it advisable to store

in a warm place, as this might cause

the seed to germinate, too soon. The





. ideal way is to proyide a cool or cold,





moiSt storage.

A good way to store seed is as fol-

seed is protected from rodents. An-

other method may be used where only

a small quantity of seed is to be stor-

ed. Procure a wooden box and put in

the bottom a layer of moist sand, then

a layer of seed, another layer of sand,

and so on until all the seed is stored.

The box can then be placed either in

a cold damp cellar or out of doors in

a shallow pit. Towards spring the seed

must be watched very carefully to see

that it does not heat up or mold.

Also, seed so stored will usually germ—

inate very early in the spring, so it is

advisable to plant as soon as possible

has soon as the frost is out of the

ground. This method of storing seed

is called stratification.



The following table covers all varie-

ties of trees common to Michigan and

indicates a proper method of storing:



Cold and Dry Storage.



All seeds in this class may be stored,

in a cold dry place, but cold moist

storage is preferable.



Birches, black locust, honey locust,

Kentucky coffee tree, box elder, catal-

pa, blackcherry. mulberry and osage

orange.



Cold, Moist Storage.



Ashes, basswood, beech, walnut, but-

ternut, hackberry, hickories, oaks, syc-

amore and yellow poplar.



The following seeds cannot be stored.

but should be sown at once: Elms,

red maple, silver maple, poplars and

willows.

of exceptional quality through

their unusual achievements at the In—

which the North American continent

has produced. For six years the Mich-

igan growers have taken the [lion's

the country by the agricultural and

ORESTRY, the business of grow-

ing timber, is hampered by high

taxes and forest fires. We con-

stantly hear the practical-minded tell

us that no one will invest money in

growing trees until such an invest.

ment is comparatively safe. “Who

wants to risk money in forestry with

fires running rampant over the state?”

“If the fires miss you this year, they

will,surely visit you before thetrees

are ready to be cut.” This is the gen-

eral trend of thought that cannot be

satisfactorily answered. Fire does de-

stroy a great deal of timber, and no

one can tell where it will strike next. '

Indeed, foresters have gone on rec-

ord that adequate fire protection is at





. this time the most pressing forest





problem. The public, too, is becoming

more insistent in its demand for bet-

ter forest protection. Heeding this

ever-increasing popular demand, Mich-

igan this year spent more for fire pro-W

tection than ever before; but, in spite

of this, the state has witnessed an un-

usually severe fire season. Many oth-

er states are having the same trouble.

Each year brings thousands of addi-

tional vacationists into .our timbered,

or rather, once timbered regions, all

increasing the chance of fire getting

started. This is why our nation—wide

statistics show that more fires than

ever occurred before and are annually

burning up and injuring our forest

growth, despite increased efforts and

expenditures 'to prevent them.

occur, no matter how much money and

effort'is used in preventing them. Just

how much the fire loss can be reduced

by "adequate protection,” is a debat-

able question. Again, there is little

agreement as-to what is meant 'by ad-

equate protection. Federal officials,

for instance, consider that Michigan

has above 15,000,000 acres that can be

protected satisfactorily for three cents

an acre a year, but similar’ estimates

for several other states have been

found to be very conservative. In

these states officials are now spending

nearly twice the amount previously

considered adequate, and there still

seems to be room for improvement.

At any rate, given this rather indefi-

nite “adequate protection,” many for-

esters and lumbermen claim that pri-

vate forestry would be practical on a

large ‘scale. ‘,‘The lack of adequate

fire protection is one of the primary

’reasons for the reluctance of private

capital to enter the business of for-

estry.” If this is true, it is contrary

to all our city experience. Cities have

fire protective systems that cost more,

and are more effective than any sim-

ilar system now possible for forests.

Still, our cities annually lese millions

of dollars worth of property by fire,

and no business man would consider

investing money in a city enterprise

without something additional besides

the city fire department to safeguard

his investment. Does it seem logical

that this same investor will turn to

forestry without other . safeguards

. when the lac-called adequate forest pro-

action is secured? The~city investor





Herbert





demands some form of insurance. Why

should the forest investor not have the

same freedom from risk?



Cheap and properly conducted forest

insurance will be necessary-for the

successful practice of private forestry,

because of the uncertainty to the in-

vestment Without it, due to non—pre-

ventable fires. Insurance will not only

remove the risk to the capital invest-

ed, but will make it possible for those

of limited resources to engage in the

business, because bankers will make

loans on growing trees secured by an

insurance policy. It is impossible, to-

day, to raise money on any but mer—

chantable timber, and then only at ex—

orbitant rates. Insurance on forest

property will be as common in the fu-

ture as insurance on houses.



Large owners, such as the federal

government, the state and a. few large

corporations, can carry their own in-

surance, because they have so much

forest land. Most of the timberland

owners, however, are not strong

enough to safely carry their own in-

surance. The other alternatives for

them, are to pay a commercial com-

pany to assume their risks, organize

a. cooperative, or get the state or fed-

eral government to carry the risk for

them. Governmental insurance would

be the cheapest of the three if the

almost universal inefficiency of govern-

mental dabbling in private business

could be‘ overcome. If not, a; strong

mutual organization would be prefer—

able. However, such an organization

would require a great many cooper-

ators, more than could be secured im-





v





mediately. This is the reason why

stock insu1ance is the only form of for-

est insulance available in the United

States today.



Thele now are three stock compa-

nies regularly writing forest insurance

in the northeastern part of the United

States. Their rates are rather high

and their insurance conditions exact—

ing, so that relatively few timberland

owners have been able to' avail them-

selves of this protection. Despite

these objections, the companies state

that the demand is slowly increasing.

Michigan is not considered a favorable





risk by these underwriters, because

the fire hazard here is so great.

However, as soon as business-like for-





estry becomes a reality in Michigan,

as it soon will, insurance coverage will

be demanded. This demand will doubt-

lessly first be supplied by the stock

company, although European experi-

ence indicates that other forms of or.

ganization are more successful,

Forest insurance is a success in Eu‘

rope. In France and Germany fire in-

surance has been available since 1870.

In the Scandinavian countries of Nor—

way, Sweden and Finland, where for-

est conditions are more like our own,

forest insurance has become a neces-

sary part of the practice of private

forestry. In Norway over 5,500,000

acres are insured, representing approx-

imately seventy~five per cent of the in-

surable forest land.w One large mutual

company writes all the insurance“ in

Norway at an annual premium of from ,

six to seventeen cents per $100 of

insurance. The surplus accumulated ‘





by the policy holders is being usedwu





loans to members, with the forest and

insurance policy as security.

A year ago, the largest crop on record

had been produced, chiefly‘due to fav-

orable weather conditions, "and a ’cor-

relspondingly high yield per acre. This:





one exception. The fere'cast of 0c-

tober 1, of a yield 0f 344,227,000 bush-

els, represents a per capita production

of 2.98 bushels. The average in the

past twenty years has been 3.77 bush-

els, while last year it was 4.07 bushels.





The potato crop in the early and in-

termediate states was estimated at 61,-

772,000 bushels, a decrease of .thirty

per cent under the 1924 yield. Ship-

ments from these states to October

24, were only 37,675 cars, compared

with 49,881 cars in the corresponding

time last year. [Under the relatively

light supplies, prices have averaged

considerably higher than in the pre-

vious year, at times two and three

times those of the corresponding pe-

riod in 1924. Also, these states mar-

keted early, leaving the market clear

for the late crop.





The crop in the main late producing

states is estimated at 282,619,000 bush-

els, a loss of twenty-three per cent

from last year. High prices have at--

tracted early marketing, however, and

carlot shipments to October 24, from

these sections had exceeded the same

period a year ago by 5,057 cars, or

nearly eight per. cent. ,



In the late potato sections, the three

big producing states, Michigan, Wis-

consin and Minnesota, have a crop es-

timated at 75,867,000 bushels, as

against 114,064,000 bushels in 1924, or

a production this season of but fifty-

eight per cent of last year’s crop.

Furthermore, the crop in such states

as Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and

Indiana,” which ordinarily produce

enough potatoes to supply their local

demand until December, or possibly

January, is only about half as large as

_ northern round whites in the Chicago





in 1924, and considerably under the

five-year average. These states are

already in the market for potatoes for

immediate shipment.



The shortage of potatoes in the mid-

dlewestern states will open up man





. kets for northwestern potatoes which





are usually closed to them. The crop

in the northwest is larger than the

1924 harvest. The Washington crop

is estimated at 6,712,000 bushels, com:

pared with 6,615,000, bushels produced

in 1924. Idaho’s crop was estimated

on October 1 at 12,254,000 bushels,

nearly fifteen per cent larger than the

The

commercial crop of Washington, it is

estimated, Will run between 6,000 and

7,000 cars, while Oregon will probably

ship from 700 to 800 cars. .

The small crop of sweet potatoes is

another factor of support in the mar-

ket. The crop is figured at 74,337,000

bushels, only slightly larger than last

year’s short production, and much un-

der the five-year average crop of 96,-

200,000 bushels. The season was early

this year, and high prices have helped

to move the crop to market faster than

last year. Shipments to October 24

were 9,021 cars, compared with only

7,113 cars to the same time last sea-

son.

In view of the short potato crop, it

was not surprising that the autumnal

advance should start several weeks

earlier than usual. Prices at Chicago

throughout the season have averaged

around $1.00 per hundred pounds high-

er than at the corresponding time last

season. Since October 1, prices of

hundred pounds, and dealers report ti

THERE were forty-two unprofitable ‘

: An' Automobile Stile I





 





T not infrequently happens that one 'is obliged to pass often through a





gate, with an automobile, where live stock is kept.





Failure to shut the





gate‘ each time gives the stock a chance to get out. L. M. Gordon shows





us, in the above picture, how~one farmer overcame this trouble.





He built a





special “stile" for the auto. It carries the car up and over the fence with

out trouble of stopping, and at the same time, the cattle and hogs are kept





where the farmer intended they should be.





 





subjects those; but the people who can

carry on an interesting conversation

along such lines are the real salt of

the earth. It developed that here was

a family living a few miles from me

who not only made apple butter, but

burned wood the year round. Possibly

that was the reason that they were

such nice people; I do know that wife

and I warmed up to them amazingly,

and we feel that we have made some

worth;while friends.





Some School , Experience.





In order to eke out a very slender

income, I have been doing some sub-

stitute teaching in a local hi h school.

One day I am in patched over 115 and

jumper shucking corn, and the next

day I am a white-collar man teaching

the philosophy of history. Now, this

generation is known as the first and

only unspanked generation, and that

fact is surely reflected in school be-

havior. I found discipline an unknown

quantity, but injected a little where it

was needed most. School discipline is

nothing more than reflectedfamily dis-

cipline, so it was easy to determine

the social standing of the families rep-

resented by children in the school.

I don't want to live in a community

which has trouble in the school over

lack’of discipline. I am quite well ac-

quainted in the twin cities near which

I live, so I recognized family names and

was able to determine invariably that

the best behaved children came from

the best families; but that only con-s

fin‘neda belief which I have long held.

position. My wife complains that I

do not understand, cows, and it doesn’t

help matters any when I blandly ex-





plain that that is one subject I do:





not wish to understand. Now we have

a little, black bossy and I am enjoying

the pastime of teaching it to drink

from a pail. I straddle the rebellious

cowlet, place one hand firmly on the

back of its neck,_’plunge its head under

the milk ‘and squeeze my fingers, into

its mouth. Just about then I am re-





warded by a backward plunge and a





loud “whoosh” which sprays milk all

over my overalls and shoes. I think

I shall refrain from church going until

that imp of satan has learned to rec—

ognize me as its foster mother.

Why Chickens Are Chickens.



Just as I expected, not one but two

old sisters came out of dark corners

proudly escorting a flock- of wee

chicks. My wife at once adopted the

little darlings, so, as usual, we are

engaged in raising a job-lot of fall

chickens which are sure to be scrubs.

About the time they reach the naked

stage in their development the fierce

blasts of winter will blow; and what

will poor chickie do then? This is the





time of year when we begin to gather '





the young chickens from their roost—

ing places in trees and corners and

teach them to go into the coop at

night. 4' Of all things on the farm, a

chicken knows the least. We drive

the pesky things to the coop door, only

to have them give a loud shriek and

fly for the tall weeds. This is a nightly

occurrehce fer at least a week before

those crazy things know enough to go

The farmers in the county have been

very much awakened to the possibili-

ties of the use of marl since several

other demonstrations were held in the

county.



The bed of marl on the Rozema farm

occupies about three acres, and is nine

feet deep. The state machine will dig

500 yards for Mr. Rozema’s own use,

and 500 more for sale. Newaygo coun-

ty has many almost inexhaustible marl

beds, and their use promises to rejuve-

nate many worn-out farms.

THE 1925 cucumber crop of Huron



county doubled last year’s produc-

tion figures, about $85,000 being the

pecuniary results to the growers, ac-

cording to I. Dornbos, manager for a

Chicago company maintaining six sta-





- tions in the county. The Bad Axe sta-

,tion alone took in 21,000 bushels from





272 acres, and will pay $50,000 for the

crop.



The contract price for 1925 is $3.50

per 100 pounds- for firsts; $1.25 for sec-

onds, and $1.00~for thirds. All pickles

made in the county are dills. Salt

pickles are shipped to Chicago for fin-

ishing. Approximately thirty-two car-

loads of pickles were shipped from

Huron county. The approximate num-

ber of bushels received at four county

stations were: Port Austin, 8,000;

Port Hope,.5,000; Ubly, 5,000; Atwa:

‘ter, 8,000.





 





FOUR DOLLARS FOR EACH HOUR

OF FARM WORK. -





 





[N the present day of high wages,



and when farmers are scratching

their heads in figuring why the boys

leave the farm, the practical applica-

tion of the title of this story is all the

more of interest.



Lewis Christianson enfolled in his

local corn club. Due to the fact that

his father needed his services very

much, he promised that he Would nev-

er take any time from the regular

farm work to work on his corn. To

facilitate matters, Lewis took his five

acres in the same field that his father

used for growing corn. The second

ten rows from the fence was known

as Lewis’s corn. The only extra that

this corn got was three extra. plow-

lugs, and six hours of pulling weeds

after the corn was laid bare. Besides,

Lewis had the vocational teacher to

test his seed corn. The extra labor

amounted to eleven hours. This was

done at evenings, noons, and morn-

ings.



There was little visible difference in

the growing corn. At maturity, how-

e\rer, the second ten rows from the

fence, which was Lewis’s club corn,

made an average yield of eighty-eight

bushels to the acre. The earn ad;

DENMARK KILLS BXRB'ERRY AND

srops nus-r.





D ENMARK has prevented attacks -

of black stem rust by eradicating l.-

barberry bushes. If there ever was

an established scientific fact, this is ,

one. For years rust attacks had been * g

severe in Denmark. . ‘

Barberry bushes had. been brought .

into Denmark and planted sometime ,

during the seventeenth century. By E

about 1805 they had become‘so numer— 1'

ans that black rust began to be de.

structive. Many farmers destroyed

their bushes and noticed that the se- 4





 





They therefore demanded that their ‘

neighbors do likewise.



But many refused because they.

couldn’t see how barberry bushes could

have any influence on the development

of rust. There arose a bitter quarrel,

which lasted for over fifty years. Fin-

ally, in 1869 a law was passed which

gave everyone the right to demand

the extermination of barberry bushes,

but the law did not result in the 3

complete elimination of the bushes, and

the severity of black rust increased. ' ;

There are accurate records since 1889. ‘

In 1889, 1894, 1895, 1896, 1897 and 1901 , ‘

the rust-was very destructive, and it g

also did considerable damage in 1893

and in 1900. 5



Thema law was passed requiring the

complete destruction of barberry, ex—

cept in botanical gardens and a few

other restricted areas. The law be- ‘

came effective January 1, 1904. The

eradication campaign was effective.



Not only were the bushes destroyed.

but the black rust also .practically dis-

appeared. Since 1904 there has not

been a single general'epidemic of rust

in Denmark. Rust seldom is found,

and when it does occur, a guilty bar-

berry is also found. ' — .

baits should be fresh meat, as bloody

as possible for flesh-eating animals. A

generous bait is likely to be better

thana small one.





Baits should” be placed in a natural

manner so as not to arouse suspicion.

If bait consists of a. whole animal for

a much larger one, such as a rabbit for

coyote bait, make it appear as, if alive

and hiding. If part of a bait, it should

look as thoughhidden there by some

other animal; the secret is that it

must not appear 'to be bait. Scent may

often be used with bait to advantage.

Following is a list of baits best suited

to the difi’erent animals.



Mink—Fish, muskrat, rabbits, mice,





small birds, chicken, crawfish and sim— .





ilar food.



Muskrat—Vegetables, fruits and wa-

ter roots and grasses. Carrots, corn,

apples, parsnips, cabbage, etc.



Fox.——Wild birds’ eggs, wild fowl and

small birds, mice, rats, rabbit, and

poultry.





Skunk—Chicken, rabbit, eggs, birds A





and small pests, such as grasshoppers.

Opossum.-—Native fruits, small birds

and animals, meats of several kinds

as favoredby skunk.

Weasel -—Fresh meat, the bloodier

the better, poultry, rabbits, mice, goph-

ers and similar.





The following formula is good for

making fish oil, which is a good scent

for nearly all animals, especially mink,

fox and Weasel. Catch several small

fish, out up fine and fill a large-mouth-

ed bottle or jar about two-thirds full.

Place cork in very lightly and Set in

a warm place in the sun. Let rot and

,ferment for several weeks until the oil

,can be drained off and the odor is

strong. A small amount of oil or anise

may be added if desired.



A good scent similar to the above

may be made by using almost any kind

of meat cut in small pieces in place

of fish.

TEN THOUSAND Successful

They spoke up from every State

— principally from the thirteen

great farming States of the Middle

West.





They answered questions asked

disinterestedly bythe group of pub-

T. Meredith, former Secretary of

Agriculture. One of the questions

was: “If you expect to buy a

radio, what make will you buy?”





In the answers Atwater Kent

Radio stands FIRST.



The Capper publications made

a similar, inquiry in small towns





and farm homes in Ohio, Iowa, ,





Kansas and Texas. Born in the

towns and on the farms, At‘water

Kent sets and radio speakers stand





FIRST. _



Another survey, made by the

National Stbckman and Farmer,

in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West

Virginia, proved that. in present

ture purchase was not asked) At-

How farmers save

money by radio





" Saved my apple and plum trees by radio

warning ofa big sleet storm. Most of

my neighbors’ trees were stripped.”





"I got a six-hour advance notice of

the killing frost last fall. We built bon-

fires around a two-acre field of tobacco

and saved the crop while my neighbors’

crops were a total loss.”



"I follow the cabbage market. Held

my crop last year all the way from $16

to $32 when I sold, and it dropped next

day. "



"Was about to sell my potatoes on a

declining market, but got a tip over the

radio that the market was about to

strengthen, so I held and made a profit

of fifteen cents (a bushel) by so doing.”



"Local buyer was at my place trying

to purchase some cows at a certain fig-

ure. We happened to get the market

while he was there, and the result was

thathe offered me seventy-five cents a





hundred more.”

this section. '



The past achievements of Michigan

farmers at the International Grain and

Hay Show only serve to emphasize the

even greater possibilities which lie





ahead. It is true that Michigan farm- .





ers have built up an enviable reputa-

tion for quality seed, and much of that

reputation has been built through nu-

' mercus winnings at the International.

When, year after year, Michigan takes

more than seventy-five per cent of the

awards in white wheat, soft red winter

wheat, and rye in open competition,

and/nearly an equal percentage of

winnings in oats, barley, corn, and soy

beans in regional competition, these

repeated winnings are not mere coin-

cidences, but are real evidence of the

_fact that Michigan farmers, working

under Michigan conditions, need take

a second place to no other group of

farmers when it comes to the produc-

tion of crops“ol’ unusually high quality.

_ The growers who reap the greatest

benefit from this reputation are the

growers who have helped to build it.

his place in these rapidly growing

ranks. In 1924 several new recruits





- in the soft-red winter wheat class were





added from an unusually good wheat

exhibit at the VVashtenaw County Fair,





~ and all of these entries placed in the





money at Chicago. The same is true

of some wheat, rye, and oat exhibits

of splendid quality which first came

to public attention at a crops show

which is annually put on by the Union

Bank at Jackson. This year at the





. Jackson show, there was a sample of





soft red winter wheat weighing sixtyr

four pounds per bushel—~a full pound

heavier than any sample that has ever

won first honors in the soft red class

at the International. '

Possibly a dozen similar community

shows have brought out samples of

equal merit, which should find their

way to Chicago next month; and it is

.hoped that those in charge of county

and community fairs who have noted

crops of more than ordinary quality,

will cooperate in seeing that these

crops are entered in the big event.

Growers who want to share in Michi-

gan’s seed reputation, and who want

to boost it along, should exhibit some

crop at the International: a peck of

wheat, oats, rye, or barley; ten ears

of corn; four quarts of clover seed; a

peek of beans, soy beans, or field peas;

or a bale of alfalfa, the crop for which





' this state is rapidly becoming famous.





Entries for any of these crops may

be made directly with the Internation-

al Grain and Hay Show, Union Stock

Yards, Chicago, Illinois, before Novem-

ber 10; or they may be made through

About Shooting,Quall.





have to pay two dollars fer in a city,

hotel, but what don’t cost ,us farmers

much. But, I think shootin’ quail with

the camery is good. You, have’ your

quail longer that way. Any time you

want to look at a quail, just pull out

a pitcher and look at it. And that

don’t break up no quail families eith-





er. L. A. JJV. is got something to say“





aboutthat.



I am not at present what might be

classed as a typical “dirt farmer,” but

I spent seventeen years, in general

farming and pet stock raising, as well

as endeavoring to domesticate wild

fowl and animals. ~ -





One man states that, on closing his

lands to ‘sportsmen, the quails did not

increase, but that hawks and other





\





» animals did. That is simply a repe-





tition of the survival of the fittest.

Sparrows kill song birds and others,

but sportsmen do not make a'practice

of going out to hunt sparrows; neither

does a sportsman, who goes out to

hunt quail, spend his time shooting

hawks, as you don’t generally find the

two in the same place.





If sportsmen do not kill game birds

and animals more rapidly than they

are producing, why is it necessary to_

employ so many game wardens? How

many sportsmen brag about getting by

the warden with two and three times

the amount they are allowed to kill?



Regarding the amount of quail on a

modern well-tilled farm, or one that is

briar—infested, it is the law of nature

that any species of wild life prefers

more or less seclusion. Is that any

reason why we should sit idly by and

permit our quail to be exterminated

like the wild turkey and others that

have gone on before? '





There are some who would have us

believe that by shooting three-fourths

of every flock of quail, the numbers

will increase and produce for us abund-

ance, the same as pruning an orchard

increases the amount of fruit; but, for





*my part, I will do all of my quail





shooting with my camera—L. A. W.

Fruit Marketing Problems.





There’s lots about the fruit market‘

ing problem what ain’t solved. Looks

like we need standard grades all right,

but there’s lots 0’ fellows what is

makin’ money peddlin’ fruit what ain’t

sorted. There’s some ways 0’ makin’

money What ain’t the best.

know whether peddlin’ is or not.

LoraksKlike A. Bauhahn thinks peddlin’

1s . .





I have read your articles on the

farmer’s marketing problems, grading,

etc. We farmers have been preached

to and at, often by men who know as





much about practical farming as I'





know about the political conditions on

Mars, until I feel disgusted and sore.

I feel like talking back, although I

have as little to say as some of our

talkative friends.





If anyone thinks that Michigan ap-

ples are not graded properly, he ought

to haul his crop of choice hand-picked

apples to some association. When he

gets his return, he will find they grad-

ed about forty or fifty per cent A.’s

and the rest “ciders.” And then, if

he should get, as I have heard of sev-

eral getting, about eleven or twelve

cents a bushel above association costs,

probably he would think that we have

grading enough. And quite possibly,

if a buyer should offer a dollar per

hundred pounds for orchard run for

all hand-picked apples about two and

a quarter inches, with wormy ones

out, he would sell. Some of,,our ment-

ors and graders should realize that

fruit and vegetables are not cast in a.

mold or made with a‘lathe.





When a. farmer has worked hard to

raise a crop, it hurts to stand by and

see it spoil for lack of a market. Sev-

eral farmers of my acquaintance have

met this dilemma by buying trucks

and going to Chicago with loads of

from sixty to hundred bushels of aptL

ples, pears and peaches, which they

peddled from house to house, when

choice ring-packed apples would only

bring one dollar or less with freight,

cartage, packages and commission to

be paid, leaving very little for the

grower. These men get from one dol-

lar to two dollars per bushel for their

fruit, and got their baskets back. The

consumers found no fault because the

fruit was not graded to U. S'. specifi-

cations.



If the regular channels, of trade give

us the cold shoulder, the box-car, the





ntruck, and peddling will have to-‘be

“Dips!” he hoWled.

wrath. .

“Come on!” he growled. “If you



want to fight, now’s your chance!”



. Surprise was written on the face of



Pedro Casa. He let go of the injured



wrist to shrug and spread out his



hands;





“But how to fight, Senor Boonk,‘





without the knife?”



Flanders grinned and Garvin, kick-

ing himself free of a splintered soap-

box, laughed outright. And the trou-

ble might have been passed off like

that, at least for the time, if it had

not been for the girl.



There was a knock, light but firm,

and Casa sprang to answer it. Eve

Young stood in the doorway of the

shanty, smiling. A knitted red toque

held in all but the stragglers of her

yellow curls, and a knitted red jacket

was buttoned tightly about her slender

suppleness.



“An angel have walked out on the

lake!” exclaimed Pedro, bowing from



""the waist. “Enter in, Senorita. We

need the angel here!”



Eve Young’s eyes sparkled like the

lake in June, and the little dimple in

her cheek grew deep. As always, she

seemed to like the smooth words of

Pedro.



“There was no angel here a minute

ago,” she said, “when the oil stove

came to meet me.”



Under the brown of the lake Winds

Bunk felt himself growing red. Gar-

vin chuckled, and Casa, sorting out

the cleanest soap box for Eve to sit

upon, let his moustache curl back in a

grin. It was possible that the girl had

heard a. good part of the quarrel.



“Sit in our house and make it hap-

py!” Casa swept over in another of

his bows.



“No, thank you.” She jingled coins

inside her little mitten. “I came out

to buy some ice fish for father’s sup—

per. Have you got any to sell?”



“Madre Mia!” Pedro rolled his eyes

in horror at the suggestion. “Not to

sell. But I have the fish to give the

senorita Yoong! Mooch fish!” »



“Here’s a lot of dandies!” Garvin

was dragging a box, ready packed and

iced for shipping, from one corner.

Bunk Flanders was not a second he-

hind him.



“I’ve got some good fish, too!

many do you want, Eve?”



The three men were kneeling before

her on the ice floor of the shanty,

each with a box of fish in front of

him. Looks of jealousy flashed back





How





' and forth. All the rancor that had end-





ed in the affair of the oil stove was

working again. ’



“I’ll take six fish from each box,”

she said. Bunk, himself suddenly real—

“I will carry them ashore for- the

decidedly but with a smile. "I'll carry

And that was the way it turned out

when the dozen and a half‘fish had

’been wrapped in a newspaper. The

three men stood outside their shanty

watching her red figure grow small as

she moved over the ice toward ‘the vil-

lage of Valeboro. '

“This partnership might just as well

flared " Dick Garvin. “The season’s

“Right!” agreed Bunk,’ heartily.

"Si!" said Casa. ,

So it was that they set themselves

9 Later,

Flanders went [Waugh ' ‘ Ivfllage,

hoping that. tonight ”he .wouldgflnd‘ a

chance to speak alone. with the girl.

End of his ice fishing. might mean that

he would have to ‘go to some, other

town, seeking work. He came to the

lighted kitchen of the Youngs and,

kicking the snow from his feet, knocks

ed on the‘door. . '

The door swung inward and Eve

\stood' framed in an aura of yellow

’lamplight, smiling a welcome. ‘But

F'landers’ face grew dark as he cross-.

ed the threshold, for Pedro Casa lolled

by the stove, an accordion between

his hands, and Dick Garvin, scowling

at all the world, sat rigidly upon a

hard wooden chair. He merely grunt-





ed, but Casa rose to the occasion in

better style. . .

“Ah, enter in, amigo! We have‘the





 





 





 





to the rather dangerous task of divid-

ing their small property, the mere dis-

cussxon of which had brought on the

fight of the oil stove. But now Bunk,

steadiest of the three, held himself

better in hand, and it was his frequent

yielding on small points that carried

the division through with no more

than a threat of blows. Each man’s

pile of tackle and the like lay by it-

self; the shanty was to be sold and

the money divided.



“Now to have shares of the mooch

money!” exclaimed Pedro. ,



“Aw, let that go till tomorrow,” said

Garvin. “It’s getting dark and I’m

hungry. The money’s safe enough.”



“Yes,” assented Bunk, “You both

know where it is—stowed in a tin can

in the cuddyhole of my boat. It would

be better to go after it in daylight, but

I’m willing to do whatever you fellows

say.” ’



“How mooch is it the last time you

count?” asked Casa.



“A little better than five hundred.

This has been a good season and the

fish sold high.”



“Ah-h—h! There is fun in five hun-

dred dollars!”



“Yes———and hard work!" Flanders

made ready to leave. “Is it all right

to let the money go till tomorrow?”



Garvin growled assent and the Span-

iard shrugged. So they set out togeth—

er through the dusk, toward Valeboro

‘now spotted with lights. But there

was no friendly talk such as had been

at the end of a day’s work before each

of them found the others calling 1; the

home of Eve Young. Bunk was oing

there this night.” '



Bunk Flanders, rightly named John,

ate unseeingly -in the dining—room of

his boarding house, and thought of the





girl. Like an angel she looked; and

like a devil sometimes she seemed

when her uncanny wits had played





the three against each other, until they

were raging inwardly. Often Bunk

had tried to stay away from the neat

cottage of the Youngs,‘and as often

found himself knocking at the kitchen

door. At times it appeared that there

was some purpose running through the

girl’s coquetry; andpaat other times it

seemed to have the look of wanton

“With music by the band,” added

Garvin, sourly.



“But such a good band!” exclaimed

Eve. “Sing that song about the dove.

again for John, Senor Pedro.”



Flanders and Garvin had to sit and



Alisten to a sentimental Spanish love

ballad, of which they understood not

a word. But its meaning they gath-

ered well enough, for Casa sang it

with much eye-rolling toward Eve,

whom he had taught something of his

own tongue since he had come drift-

ing to Valeboro.



“Oh, that’s beautiful!” cried the girl.

“If ever I get married; it will be to a

man like the one in the song—rich and

brave and daring! ”



Bunk looked sharply to see if one

of her half-hidden jests were coming,

but to the glance she was serious

enoughu At least, Garvin and Pedro

thought so, for they gave heed at once.



“How rich?” demanded Dick. “Do

you mean rich enough to own a bank,

or something like that?”



“Maria!" cried the Spaniard. “Not

so mooch as that, Senorita!”



Eve dimpled.



“No,” she answered, sweeping the

faces of the three men.with a quick

glance. “Just rich enough to go away

from Valeboro, maybe, and live in a

big town and go to the theatre. A

man would be rich enough for that if

he had a thousand dollars, or even

five hundred, wouldn’t he?”



This was more-like sense, and Bunk

became convinced of her earnestness.



“Five hundred would do it," he re:

plied. “ ’Twould be enough for a start,

and leave something to put by for a

rainy day.”



“Five hundred dollars——it is mooch

money.” Casa fingered his accordion

thoughtfully.



“It’s more than I’ve got!" laughed

Garvin, with a tinge of bitterness.



“But a man could save it in two or

three years, with work and luck.”

Flanders was thinking that he had a

foundation in his share of the fish

money. “Guess I’ll begin-now!”



“Pedro Casa have already begun,”

with a (wave of the hand. “We start

for the answer.« Eve danced across

“Hurry and get itw—then you’ll find

months and months!” They flied out

rather. .soberly.



“Adios, senorita! I win this race!”



“Don" be, too sure about that,”

growled Garvin. “Good night, Eve.”



But Bunk said not a word as he

tramped away, leaving the others to

take separate paths, for. he was having

a new experience. Never before had

it occurred to him that by doing wrong

he could get something he wanted.

Always he had walked straight, seeing

no other way but the right. He w

astounded, and; his mind wallow .

like a rudderless boat, for a time. Then

of a sudden he saw himself reaching

into the cuddyhole of his boat and

taking that tin can of money for his

own. The icture shocked him to

steadiness. e would sail a straight

course—win or lose.





BUt no sooner had the brief tempta-

tion passed than it flashed to him that

Pedro Casa and Dick Garvin might

be fighting with the same pull toward

the lonely hoathouse where his sloop

was put up for the winter. He had no

mind to lose his share of the hard-won

fish money, and so he turned his steps

toward the lake shore, swinging into





.a long stride as he hurried through the





starlit night. He might sleep in the

bfat, even, for there were blankets

t ere. ‘ '





The boathouse loomed darkly against

the gray lake.

the door with care, and found it safely

locked. He went in, feeling his way

along the side of the boat to the rear

of the building, where one window

made the darkness a little less impen<

etrable. ,



After the door had been locked in-

side and Bunk had felt the comforting

crinkle of the. fish mOney, he took

blankets from a locker and stretched

out in the cockpit. The night was

cold, but with a hint of spring in the

air, and he was not uncomfortable.

Minutes passed, while hazy pictures of





Eve Young-came out of the darkness, '

1





and then 5 eyes closed.



The steady grate of iron on iron

pulled Bunk Flanders out of sleep. For

an instant he wondered dimly. Then

he was on one elbow, realizing that

some hand outside was working to

pick the lock on the boathouse door.

Came a squeak and thud of rusted

bolts and the knob turned, protesting-

ly. Bunk crawled softly out of his

blankets and went aft in the cockpit

as far as he could, crouching‘down

there. . _



The door opened, g1v1ng a square of

gray against the blackness. A vague

“No!"s The word was wrenchedout

by pain, and cyldent belief: that the

Flanders, angry and amused, consid-



‘ ered. He did not Want_to let Casa go

-——not yet. * -»



“I got to figure out whether it’ll be

‘more fun to cut your throat or drown

you,”;\ he said. “Meantime, you’ll be

better off tied up.” ,



“Amigo! Senor Boonk, hear me!



I___n . .



Pedro Casa’s plea was cut short by

the handkerchief of his captor as it

tied down his tongue. With the fear

of death strong upon him, he gave

Flanders more than a little trouble

before he was finally trussed with a

line and laid down at the rear of the

boathouse to meditate upon his sins.

Bunk relocked the door, climbed back

into the cockpit and waited; but this

time without lying down. He felt cer-

tain now that the other of his partners

would come before dawn.



A silent hour passed, broken only

by occasional gurgles from Pedro.

Flanders’ head was nodding as he

held himself to the vigil, when, with—

out warning, the crash of a stout blow

against the door snapped his head up

and tensed his muscles. A second

blow broke .lock and latch, and the



. door slammed inward.



Bunk was over the side of the boat

instantly, springing toward the dim

figure in the doorway. But he reck-

oned without the other man’s weapon.

The swish of the blow was in his ears

an instant before darkness shattered

into ribbons of fire. A jar shook him

to his boot heels and he went down

with his mouth in the dirt.



Flanders tried to rise and could not.

He felt a knee on his back and the



\wrench of strained sockets as his arms

were lashed behind him. Then the





other man. breathing hard. tumbled I did think for a minute about taking





him roughly into a corner and lighted





a match. The flame played over the that not even you, Eve, was worth





wrath-twisted face of Dick Garvin. He

held the match down and peered into

the eyes of Flanders.



“Where’s that money, Bunk Flan-

ders?” The uneven snarl of his voice

showed that perhaps he had not come

to thievery without some inward war.

Flanders, still throbbing with the ache

cf the blow that had sent him down,

answered slowly.





’ I was here all night expecting you’d

come for it!”



“That’s a likely yarn,” barked Gar-

vin, as the match burned his fingers

and went out. “You wanted it bad

enough, yourself!”



Bunk heard him climb into the sloop

and fumble at the cuddyhole. Then

out of the darkness under the stern

of the beat came a gurgling groan.



“What’s that!” snapped Garvin, but

there was a little shiver in his voice.



A second groan, s‘vvelling in volume,

ended in a strangled cough.



“Flanders, ‘what’s in here?” Garvin

was shaken. Pedro Casa had slipped

his gag, for it was he who answered.



“Save me, amigo! with quickness.

Senor Boonk kills me!”



“The devil!” Dick Garvin was

steady now, assured that the groans

had come from a human throat. Flan-

ders. saw him lighting matches as he

looked over the stern.



“So you tried it, too.” There was

something like satisfaction in his tone.

“Well, you’re. all right where you are

He heard ' her coming softly and

carefully nearer, while Garvin, motion-

less, speechless, stood with his hands

aloft. Eve’s breath was on Bunk’s face

and the touch of her' hands set his

heart pounding. ‘ |



"Aim from your hip, Eve, with one

hand,” he told her. “Reach into my

jacket pocket and take out the big

kni e—I’ll open it with my teeth.” .



He worked his bound hands up clum-

sily to the level of his mouth and took

the knife. In another moment the

blade was bared'and Eve had cut the

line that bound his wrists.



“Keep Garvin covered!" he cried,

swinging into the boat, “It’s his turn

to be tied up.”



He bound Garvin, who had said no

word from the moment when light

first streamed across his eyes. Then

Flanders, digging into a locker,

brought out lanterns and the boat-

house was filled with brilliance that

dissolved in Eve’s straggling curls and

framed her face in an aura. Bunk





Flanders had time, now, to wonder at -





her presence and the aid she had giv-

en him against the others. He could

not read the matter at all.

"‘I don’t know why you’re here, Eve,”

he said, slowly, as he sat Casa un-

gently on a box and cut the ropes

about his feet. “Anyway, there’s some-

thing I’m going todo, and I want you

to see it.” ' '



She stepped from an empty barrel,

and followed him to the far end of the

boat. Motioning Dick Garvin to move





aside, he took up the tin can of mon-

ey, opened it, and lifted out the fat

roll of bills. Bunk counted them labor-





iously, making three piles. He looked

up, holding themoney, into the eyes

of the girl.



“I came right down here tonight

from your house,” he began, “because

I thought maybe something like this

would happen. It seemed that the

man who got five hundred dollars first

would have the best chance with you.





themoney myself, and then I figured





I,

He laid one bundle of bills on the

knee of Garvin, put the other in the





can and tossed it down to Casa’s feet.

He stuffed the third share into his

jacket pocket.





“Dios!” whispered Pedro, and for





once found no flood of words.





“Will you fellows go quiet if I untie

“ , , your hands?” asked Bunk. “You’ve

Right where its always been, Dick. both got the money that belongs to

you and we can start the race even.”

“The race is over.” Eve spoke soft-





ly. “I did wrong—~but I wanted to





find out how much a man would give





for a girl. So after I’d set you to





thinking about’ the money, I ran





straight down here, before John came,

and got in with a bunch of old keys.”

She hesitated and finished in stumb-

ling words. “You’re right, John, noth-

ing is worth so much as this!"



Troubled for fear that his growing

hope might not be true, Bunk could

not speak. It was Garvin who assured

him.



"You win the race,” said Dick. His

voice trembled as he added: “And I

guess you’re the best man!”



Then Bunk Flanders turned, lifted

on a. surging wave of happiness, and





read his victory in the face of Eve,





smiling her love at him.. .

“Car-r—ramba! ” muttered Pedro



Casa. “I like not this courting of los



Americanos!” THE END

less. In the first place, when people

speak loosely of one lung being entire-

ly gone, the chances are that they

.have no special warrant for the state-

ment, and that under proper treatment

there may still be somewservice in

that lung. If one lung is entirely out

of use, there is still hope if the other

lung is comparatively sound. The

treatment would probably consist in

putting the diseased lung at complete

rest by air pressure, a treatment that

is known as Pneumothorax. This

makes the diseased lung collapse, puts

the entire work upon the sound lung,

and, since a collapsed lung gets no air

through it, it is obliged to remain at

rest, thereby giving it a chance for

improvement and checking the further

spread of the disease in that direction.

Staying right at a sanatorium is the

best thing that a patient can do under

such circumstances. How long a time

is necessary depends entirely upon the

case, and is beyond my ability to an-

swer. There would be very little med-

icine used, but it might be that in

special cases the doctor would see

some reason for giving some drug

treatment. I must admit that such a

person does not have an excellent

chance for recovery, and the probabil-

ity is " that, even if he, survives fifty

years, he will always have to be care-

ful about the things that he under-

takes to do.

HYSTERIA DIFFICU'LT TO TREAT.





 





 





Please tell me if you think I have

hysteria, and is hysteria. a disease of

the mind? Also, would hysteria cause

neuralgia? I have been in this condi-

tion for some time, and have numb

spells, with an itching and burning all

over my body. My memory seems to

be very good, but my judgment is bad,

and I am very cross and excitable,

with a feeling that something terrible

is going to happen—Mrs. P.



It is hard to define hysteria. Per-

haps it is fair to say that it describes

a condition in which the subconscious

mind is allOwed to govern one’s intel-

ligence. All of the things you name

might be due to hysteria. But pei"

haps back of itall is a real difficulty.

I suggest that you treat yourself for

a time by insisting upon a disregard

of these vague symptoms. Try the

Cone plan. “Every day in every way

I am getting better and better." It

helped a lot of hysterical people a. few

years ago.

for the itch or scabies in people?—S.





Scabies, commonly called “the itch,”

yields readily to sulphur ointment,

which you can buy at any drug store.

Remember that you are seeking to de—

stroy a very active living itch mite.

The ointment must reach the mite in

order to be effective. So the first

thing to do is to take a thorough bath

in hot water, using green soap and

Washing away all scabs and crusts un—

der which the itch mite could obtain

refuge. Then apply the ointment, rub-

bing it in thoroughly. Then put on a

suit of clean underwear'and go to bed

between sheets that are absolutely

clean.

, FROM PASTURE +o STABLE.





\





 





HE_change from pasture to stable

in the fall is a matter of great im-

portance in the management of milk

cows, and upon which depends in no

small way the milk producing capacity

of the-”herd. It was our experience at

Forest Grove Farm that cows fresh-

ening on pasture, or immediately after

being stabled for the’winter, must be

started on winter feeding with consid-

erable precaution/as the change from

pasture to dry feeding is likely to pro-

duce digestive disorders and check the

milk flow.



It has been our practice for years

to begin feeding our cows 3. light ra-

tion of dry roughage during the late

fall months. The cows seem to highly

relish a light feed of dry clover hay

or alfalfa, and besides, it prepares the

way for the change of feed that must

come later. Pasture. this fall have

been extremely succulent, and I have

noticed our cows have rather relished

the dry roughage more than the grain

ration. _



When dairy conditions demand feed-

ing some supplementary roughage dur:

ing the fall months to help out pas-

tures, a part ration of ensilage is ex-

cellent. I have some years begun

feeding silage as soon as the silo had

been filled, and I have found it a splen-

did feed during the fall; besides, it

gets the cows accustomed to the silage

ration before winter sets in.



A too sudden change of feeding

should always be guarded against in

the feeding of milk cows for maximum

milk flow. While on pastures, cows

become’accustomed to a highly succu-





lent ration. , p

, to dry feeding, the...entire digestive or-





‘ changes cause irritation, constipation,





 





;





 





If changed ' hurriediately





ganization must adapt itself to the

new condition. Not infrequently these





and acute indigestion, which often do

ranges the entire system and ultimate-

ly reduces the milk flow. With judi-

cious precaution exercised in changing

the cows from pasture to dry‘ feeding

in the fall, much of the danger of im-

pairing the health of _ the herd and

milk flow may be eliminated—Leo C.

Reynolds. . ‘

NUMBER OF ALFALFA GROWERS

. INCREASES. ’ - .

T the beginning of . the Ottawa

Jamestown Cow Testing Associa-

tion year in 1924, five members had

alfalfa seeded on their farms. At the

close of the first year’s testing work,

Dale Hoffmyer, cow tester, reports

that fourteen members had seeded al-

falfa. Hoffmyer tested the soil on

many different farms and found that

all. required additions of lime to help .

seedings of alfalfa more successful.

Thirteen of the twenty-five herds that

were tested for the year produced an

average of 300 pounds of butter-fat.





 





 





DOES RYE CAUSE ABORTION?





\





I see that you say rye can be fed

to cows without bad results. I grew

lots of rye and could mix some with

the feed, but people tell me that it will

causeHabortion. What is your opinion?





Sometimes rye has a fungous

growth, ergot of rye, that is said to

cause abortion. Years ago there was

much said about this, but very little

is said nowadays. Abortion is quite

common Where rye is never fed, fully

as common as where rye is fed.



It is safe to say that there is really

very little risk in feeding rye on this

ground. Mixed in equal parts with

corn and oats, it is a good- feed. By

adding oil meal or cottonseed meal,

about two pounds per day, with good

hay and corn fodder, etc., it makes a

good feed.





 





A wider use of machinery has ena-

bled the farm population to expand

production more rapidly than its owu

numbers increase—H. Hoover.

Thousands of Endorsements Like These

Prove the Practical Value of Linseed Meal





A Dairyman says: “I have never been able to hold my cows



up to maximum milk flow without Linseed Meal. .

A 'Cattleman writes: uLinseed Meal shortens the finishing

period from 30 to 40 days, over straight corn and clover hay.





And another aa a: “When I recently put my 25 cattle on

Linseed Meal. t ey ate less corn until I was able to save 3





bushels a day."

A Hog Grower says: “We find Linseed Meal the best of all

commercial feeds. Last year it proved worth $75, a ton in

feeding value." .

A Nationally Known Sheep Buyer writes: “I think Linseed

Meal the best rationer I know of for keeping lambs healthy,

producing economical and big gains." “

A Poultry Specialist states: “Linseed Meal is widely'recom-

mended as an excellent feed during the melting period. '

Yes, many state that

they have found Lin’

seed Meal to return two dollars for every dol’

Paul’s farewell at Miletus.



I think of another farewell. Chris-

tina Mackintosh was asked to be the

wife of a missionary in Africa. She

at last accepted. The parting scenes

between her and her family were

wrenching. She was “giving up all for

an unknown country and an almost un~

known husband.”



However, there is one aspect of

these Christian partings. .It is not for

good. There wiil be a meeting again,

even though, like Livingstone, we see

none of our OWn countrymen again.

frequently. rWhen the shadow cast by

the cornice on the end of the, old barn

roof just reached the point where the

boards covering thepeaklapped over

those covering the, lower part of the

barn, it was eieven o’clock sharp.





There were some advantages in this

variation in time, too. It kept us

sharpened on mental ’rithmetic, for

one thing. It was also a “time-saver”

in some cases. Where we lived, stand-

ard time Was twenty-eight minutes

slower than sun time, and if ‘we hap-

pened to forget this when we had to

meet a train, there was an even

chance that we would maker the train

anyway in those days. But when folks

began to kid themselves with “Day-

light Saving time,” of several difierent

varieties, the complications were more

numerous and - sometimes funny.





Early: in this “period” I remember

making a trip down through central





. Ohio which developed the funny side





of this situaiion. I had to change to

another railroad ,in a small town to

reach the point for which I was head-

ed. I carefully consulted the time-

table and found the connection was a

close one. The train on which I came

into the town was a few minutes late.

When I hurriedly got off to catch the

train on the other road, which used

the same depot, there was no other

train them. But there was still a





” chance that the other train might be





late, too, so I hustled up to the ticket

office to inquire if it had gone. The

agent looked at me weari‘ly and said:

“No, it don’t go until three o’clock.”

“But,” I replied, “The train I came on

wasn’t due here until three o’clock,

and it was ten 7minutes late?“ “Oh,

yes,” said the agent, still wearily, “but

I‘ strolled flown the ’station platform





city hall tOWerv'stood at a quarter past

four. I watched it long enough to

make sure. it hadn’t stopped at that





watch. As'I turned, a citizen of the

town came along. As he was just

looking at his watch I’ said, as casu-

ally as I could, “What time haveyou,

please?’: I gave it up when he told

me, and Went back to the depot to

think it over. He was still going by

sun time. . . ,



As I‘ sat down in the waiting room

I saw the town marshall, in charac-

teristic uniform, gazing intently out of

the window at the city hall clock. I

accosted him with: “Officer, what

time have you got?” He glanced

around and with the native wit of his

race said, “I’ve got the fastest d——d

time there is.” The towu had “Day—

light saving time,” an hour faster

than Eastern standard.



But even an “old dog” will finally

learn new tricks of his own accord,

even if he cannot be taught. I’ve fin-

ally settled down on Eastern Standard

time for mine. I’d rather be a little

ahead than a little behind, and when

it's necessary to make a mental cal-

culation it's much easier to do it in

even hours than in odd minutes. But

I now live far from the old barn that

served as a sun dial for so many

years, and for some time it bothered

me to keep my watch right. The jew—

eler’s clock down the street was not

to be depended on any more than my

friends’ watches, which would “run for

months without varying a second.”



But now I don’t have to. After I

have just listened to such features of

various radio programs as I want to

hear, I just tune in on one that giyes

the Arlington Time signal, and when

I hear the signal—Err, Brr, Brr,—Brrr,

I know it is ten o’clock, Eastern

Standard time. Then I can say “Good

Night” in better spirit and with more

assurance than ever before that “Good

Morning” will be said on time—E. T.





Radio is going to broaden our in«

terests in a good many ways, and when

my husband says, “Let’s get a better





set,” I think I’ll be on his side this 13

time, even if I have to wear my old -

coat another year, and patch his over-

alls a little longerJ—Mrs. D. L. H.





 





 





 





The Fairies’ Carriage





NCE there was a family of little

0 fairies» that lived under a big



toadstool which had big leaves

all around it to keep out the wind and

rain. These little fairies were always

good to everyone. In a tree nearby

lived an ugly witch, who Was always

trying to keep the little fairies from

doing good.



One night a little fairy named Clo.

ver lay awake to see if she could not

think of a way to make people happy

again, after the old ugly witch had

made them sad. At last she thought

of a beautiful carriage made of gold.



She" jumped out of her warm little

bed] under the toadstool and ran to the

window. The moon 'was shining bright-

ly. As she ran‘out doors, she saw a

brownie playing on a stump close by.



‘ called ,the “brownie ‘to her and

I can ride past the dreadful witches

without getting hurt?”





Away skipped the brownie, and he

asked the groundmen if they would

make a little Carriage of gold for the

fairy, who was kind to everyone. They

said they would, and in a short time

they had made the cutest golden car-

riage you ever saw. The I~brownie call-

ed six white mice to draw it, and then

hopped into the golden carriage. A

little driver was in the seat to drive

him back to the kind fairy.



When the little fairy saw the brown-

ie coming, she ran to the door. “Oh,

what a cute little carriage;” she said.~

“Now I can help the people and the

big witches won’t be able to hurt me.”



The next day the family of fairies

visited every farm in their golden car-

riage and waved their wands over the

land. The farmers’ crops produced

Some Enjoyed/e 'Tz'me:

By Philip Bamngros, M. C.,~Lanslng,

Michigan. , -





‘ er and I started on our vacation to

Thorn Apple River, three miles from

Middleville. ' ' '

We started at noon and arrived

about six o’clock at night. We" put up

our tent along the side of the river,

in a. woods where there were sheep.

We cooked our supper, and after

that We took a. swim, then we went to

bed; but we could not sleep because

the sheep kept “baaing.” At midnight

they went away and we went to sleep.

The next night, about supper time,

my brother had some beefsteak cook-

ing. I and my friend started to chase

the sheep away, as they were coming

nearer. We hadn’t chased them far

when a big buck sheep turned around

and chased us.

We ran back to camp with the buck

sheep right behind us. We jumped

into the racer. (My brother and my

friend each had a car).



The beefsteak was burning; but no

one dared to rescue it, because the

buck sheep was standing near it.

Finally one of the boys got out and

cranked the racer, then we chased the

buck sheep with it.



When we got back the meat was

burned so badly that we had to throw

it away. None of us slept that night.





 





By Violet Steinkopf, M. 0., Mt.

Clemens, Michigan.

In early June, school let out in Mon—

tana, so my father, two brothers and

myself started for home, which is in

Michigan. We first went to the Pacific

Ocean and then south to Los Angeles,

Where we saw palm trees, galore. Next

we crossed the Mohave Desert in Ari-





fiat-rool’ed Indian rpueblos and bake

ovens made out of clay. The Indians

put their bread in these‘ and let it

bake in the sun. In Arizona. and New

Mexico the villages are forty 01' fifty

miles apart. In 1924 I visited Yellow-

stone Park and Glacier Park.





 





By Francis Herring, M. C., Litchfield,

' Michigan.



Monday, June 8, we left Litchfield,

Michigan, for Foley, Alabama. Our

route was as directly south as we

could go, and we found good roads.

We camped out six nights, sometimes

in tourist camps, but quite often in

some woods. _It was our first experi—

ence at camping and we certainly en-

joyed it.



The-second day we missed our way

and went too far west. Near Bedford,

Indiana, was a large stone quarry.

The next day we crossed the Ohio

river. It sure is a. wide river. That

night we camped near Mammoth Cave, .

and the next morning went over there.

Dear Uncle: '



A few lines to ask you if I may

write a. few lines.



Will you kindly show me yourself,

or describe; what you look like? We

would all be thankful. -



Uncle, this is the first time I have

written to you. Seems funny to write

to someonel never saw, but only read

what he writes or prints.



Please don’t forget to give me a.

look at you.



I am too old to join. I think the

children do fine in their work, Uncle

Frank, and all are thankful to have

someone to answer their letters.



Write, or something, so we can see

your “pitcher.”



Good luck to you, Uncle—From a.

new want-to—be-friend to the lovely

family of M. C.’s, Myrtie Themm, R.

2, Davisburg, Mich.



I guess I’ll have to figure some way

whereby you can have a. look at me.

Maybe I’ll print a. picture some time.

How will that be?





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



Inclosed you will find $1.00 for the

M. 0. Fund. I have been interested in

it and think it is very nice to do this

for the children. I am sure they will

enjoy the radios very much. I hope

you will soon have the whole amount

needed.





You see, I can sympathize with them

somewhat, because I have been in bed

most of the time for slightly over a

year. I had typhoid fever and have

not regained my strength yet,‘.as I

am unable to walknbut can take just

a few steps on crutches. ‘ But I have

good times and am very thankful to

feel even as well as I do. I enjoy the

Boys’ and Girls’ page. .



Best wishes to you and the M. C.’s.

—A former M. C., Luella Wilmarth,

Quincy, Mich.



You certainly have had a siege of

sickness, haven’t you? I sincerely

hope that you will gain rapidly. Dou-





ble thanks for your contribution.





 





Dear Uncle:





Shame! For shame! Why do all of

you M. C.’s keep nagging Uncle Frank

about how he looks and how old he is?

Here is what I think-about him: He

is a good-looking man about five feet

tall, has brown hair and eyes, is about.

thirty years old, and a. little fleshy.



If you M. C.’s had used your eyes

last summer when he had his picture

in the paper, you would have seen

what he looks like. Well, I guess I’ve

said enough. So, good-bye.——Madgle

Dadow, M. (3., Jackson, Mich. ‘\ ,



Say, Madgle, please have your .eyes

tested. The only thing you got right

was brown hair and eyes. Perhaps the

picture was deceiving, even though it





really was of me.





 





My Dear Mr. Whatsyename:



In the very back of my head I have

a picture of Uncle Frank. It is a. very

sad picture, even-to think of. I know

I am only guessing, andguessing about

199 miles from the mark: ‘ Here it is:

he is a woman; , I am quite





',’. ‘





 

 

 





sure.





 





OUR LETTER BOX





 





You may have lost your husband, or

a child, or your Sweetie; or maybe~

you were in an accident and got your

leg broken, or something of the like.

I believe you are good-looking, and

not very‘ old. ,



Won’t you please tell my cousin and

myself if you are a. girl or, a‘ boy?

Please don’t keep us too long in sus-

pense—Victor Yoder.





I guess I’ll have to run my picture.

Then you can find out if I am a. man

or a woman. I haven’t lost anything

yet, not even my leg. Thanks for say-

ing that you think I am good-looking.





‘





Dear Uncle Frank and Cousins: V





Soon, oh, too soon, I will be eight-

een; then I will'have to be a. “‘Uetabe."

But, before it is too late, I’ll have to

let some steam off and give, my opin-

ion of some of the subjects. '





As for girls using cosmetics, well,

it is horrid when they don’t know how

to use them, and thus spoil it for the

rest. I~ believe, though, if one does not

have a wonderful complexion, or if it

makes her look better, the use of pow-

der and such is O. K. No one can tell

me that the correct use of makeup

will not improve the appearance of a.

girl. All the M. C.'s, girls and boys,

have been panning cosmetics, but I’ll

stand up for them every time. I know

what I would look like without it, and

what many others would, too. Enough

of that. I should like to write more

about it, but you will think I am a.





 





_. little off, and give W. B. my letter, and





I don’t want that to happen.





Now, as to how a girl should treat a.

boy friend. Most'all who read this

will be under eighteen, so, I’m not

afraid to say how I feel about it. It

depends absolutely on the ’boy, how

he should be treated. ,We are not hav-

ing serious thoughts and We want lots

of good times. If you go with a young

man who wants to baby and pet (I

don’t mean “mush”) you, why it surely

won’t behoove you to act like his boy

chum ; or, if he wants to treat you roy-

ally, don’t try to pay for your own

theater ticket. Oh, there is a. time and

place for everything—Love, your al-

most-over niece, a. second “Elinor

Glyn.”





I am using you/1~ letter, Elinor Glyn

ty all summer, and now the time had



arrived. " ‘ ' » ’ '

We decided to ‘go early next’ morn-





an automobile), as Kieth has: it was

in pretty hard shape. " It took us all

afternoon to finish that job, and then

we packed cur tent and blankets. We

each took a big box of grub, as we

both fagreed that it is better to go pre-

pared, for if we didn’t catch any fish

——well, you know!



I slept with'Kieth that night so we

could get 'an early start, as we wanted

to get there fearly. We left Middle-

ville about three bells,la;nd id’rove 'like

the deuce as far as Grand Rapids,

when Henry began to_ rebel and we

had to slow down.



Contrary ' to all expectations, we

didn’t have a bit of tire trouble, and

so we arrived at our destination, the

small town of Dighton, at about eight

bells.



About the time we got to the creek

it began to rain, not hard, but just a

ceaseless drip, drip, drip, that soon

had us both soaking wet. In spite of

this, we soon got our tent up, and a

snappy ’fire was soon drying our

clothes as we sat in the door of our

shelter. When the rain had somewhat

abated, we took our rods and stole

down to the stream. The water was

swift and clean- and, oh! so cold. It

was a typical northern Michigan trout

stream.



I unlimbered my rod and snapped

about twenty feet of line into a deep,

dark hole, where the stream made a

sharp turn. For bait I had a big angle—

worm, that reminded me of a young

snake. No sooner had it spatted on

the water than, zip! A bright golden-

piug streak shot up Out of the dark

depths of the pool, and my reel began

to sing. After a gamey struggle I

reeled the splendid fellow in. What a

beauty he was, all pink below, and

mottled brown above, with bright red

spots along his sides.





We fished with wonderful luck until

noon, when we went'back'to camp,

and prepared dinner. We both ate

trout until we could, 'eat'no more, and

there Were some left. After dinner

we tried our luck again, and found

them biting as fiercely as' ever. We

quit fishing about three o’clock, as we

did not want to catch more than we

could use. ’ _



About eleven o'clock we were awak-

ened by the sound of a heavy body

crashing through the brush. We crawl-

ed to the door of the tent and pushed

The clouds had clear-

ed away, and the moon was shining.

And then, through a little open space

about thirty feet in. front of us, a

great, hulking body lumbered by. We

heard ta crashing of limbs and the

crackling of underbrush. Then all was

still. “It’s a. bear,” muttered Kieth,

and for many minutes we crouched

there, hardly daring to breathe. At

last we crept backto bed.‘ We were

shivering, although the night was not

cold. - / ‘



After that exciting night, we both

decided we would fish down the creek.

We had good luck, and noon found us

about two miles from camp. Several

times during, the afternoon I had

heard, a sound as of someone calling,

far away. When I mentioned it to

creek,” Kiethxvdeclared, and I thought

the same. Finally, the shouts were so

near that, we could. tell that,‘whoever

was doing the shouting Was arbund the

next bend. And then we both burst

into a run, mud and water flying in all

directions. Breathless and exciited,

we raced around the bend and ran

plump mica—Methodist Camp Meet-

Simult'aneously we both turned

and fled. A well-traveled road was

near at hand and down this we sped.

We did not stop until we were a half

mile away. Then we both sat down

on a bank to rest. '



We didn’t speak a word. We just

sat and looked at each other. Then

the funny side of it came over us, and

we rolled around on the ground in

spasms of laughter. Finally, we de-

cided to return to camp. “Which way

is camp?” I asked. “That way,” said

Kieth, pointing. “You’re wrong,” I

said, “It’s that way,” and I pointed in

almost an opposite direction. I asked

Kieth which way was north. I-Ie ‘point—

ed in a directionAthat seemed to be

to" be southwest. We didn’t either

one know where the camp was.



We traveled five weary miles be-

fore we reached camp, only to find

out afterwards that we could have

reached it by walking one—half mile

by making a short cut.



Who was that bird that said, “It’s a

great life, if you don’t weaken?"



I’d like to shake hands with him!





‘ FROM THE LETTER BOX.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I’ve written before and have had

three letters in print, but I’m going to

sign a “blind” name this time.



Regarding “Flapper’s” letter, I think

she’s a rather “bad egg” sport. The

reason boys ask girls to smoke is just

to see What they will do; and they

may call them sports, but they hate

CORRESPONDENCE SCRAMBLE.





 





IHAVE been receiving quite a

few requests for another Cor-

respondence Scramble, so we’ll

have‘ one this time to fulfill those

requests. I don’t doubt but what

many M. C.’s want new Corries to

add to their already interesting

list, or others want to start cor-'

respondence with someone who is

congenial to them.



The Scramble is easy. Write 'a

letter to “Dear Unknown Friend,"

or something like that; then ad-

dress an envelope to yourself and

put a stamp on it. Put the letter

and the stamped, addressed envel-

ope in another envelope, and ad-

dress it to Uncle Frank, Michigan

Farmer, Detroit, Michigan. In the

lower' left-hand corner of the en-

velope put the words “Correspond-

ence Scramble." If you are over

twelve years of age, put the Jetter



‘~ “A” on your envelope. If you are

under twelve, put a “B” on your

envelope.



The Scramble will close Novem—

ber 13, so be sure to get your let-

ter posted in time.

Because it depicts humanity, the mo-

HERE is so much talk today



about the “evils of the times ’7



I believe it was the great Talley-

rand who said: “There are many his-

tories but only One human nature.”

And that human nature has not varied

from generation to generation. 1



There has always been the same old

stock line of temptations. Each age

has dressed them up in- different

guises—not a new vice has been in-

stigated. Always it has been the weak

and the wicked who have fallen; the

strong and steadfast who have re-

mained upright. —



Those children of ours—now safely

protected by our parental wings, safe

in the haven of childhood, who some

day will be awakening into/manhood

and womanhood—what shall we tell

them of life itself, of their lives to be

lived?



Teach your children the story of life,

by all means, has been my experience.

Keeping a child ignorant is not keep-

ing him innocent. The very best safe-

guard any boy or girl can have is a

sense of modesty and good principles





0

that have been instilled since infancy,

keeping bodies and minds clean and

that honor is life itself.



What a sad mistake it is to let chil-

dren learn the story of life from school

children, who may have the wrong

conception of it. Better to teach it

ourselves in the right way, for invar-





iably first impressions are lasting

ones.

Undoubtedly, the best and foremost





thing parents should do is to win the

confidence'of their children. Virtually

all girls love their mothers, and boys

dots on their dads, but very few par-

ents are chums with their children.

Too often, there are no habits of con-

fidence established, no sure knowledge

that dad or mother will understand,

and be helpful or sympathetic.



Many times a mother is impelled to

say, “Oh, don’t bother me now. Can’t

you see I’m busy?” Two or three ap-

plications of this kind and the child’s





feeling of comradeship is vanished for-

ever. How much better to say, “I’m

» sorry. I’m very busy now, but after





supper we will talk it over together.”

This is the very beginning of winning





1 their supreme confidence.





Think what it will mean to the child





, When he is older and has more serious





' roblems to confront——to be assured





of parental confidence. It is not enough





fer a mother to work hard for her

preparing nourishing food,

keeping them and the house clean and





 





There is something strange about it,

but mother can come closer .to her

Children at bedtime when they are in





aquiet mood. Even a few",minutes_v

with them can mean happiness" and“





profit to both. It 'is then, oftimes, that

a child will pour out his heart and ask

questions that are troubling him—the

answers of which he will find out

somewhere if mother does not tell him.





It seems to me that children living

in the country, learn many beneficial

things from nature concerning the

story of life. From their little pets,

rabbits and kittens, etc., they learn

many lessons—to be kind to the moth—

ers and to care for them tenderly

when they are nursing their young, to

be careful and tender with the little

ones. Their interest is intense, genu-

ine, and- innocent.





Take, for instance, the robin who

builds her nest in the crabapple tree.

A child will watch the father and

mother bird build it, soft and comfy;

and learns innocently and unconscious-

ly of the eggs laid; how the mother

sits on them to keep them warm; how

the father bird brings her food and

protects the nest while the mother

flies off to get a drink. Then comes

the happy moments when the baby

birds are hatched, fed and taught to

fly—-—and eventually make homes of

their own.





Go very slowly in teaching the sac-

red story. A child's mind can grasp

only one thing at a time. If he is told

all at once, he is liable to swallow it

in one big gulp with much misunder-

standing and uncertainty.

method you choose for teaching the

sex problems, do not take your child

in a dark closet, pull down the win-

dows, shut the doors, and proceed as

if it were the most terrible,— unnatural

thing in all the world.





There are many reliable books to be

had on sex problems, written especial-

ly for boys and girls. Government bul-

letins are obtainable and are very

good. If a mother does not feel equal

to teaching the voluminous problem,

she is wise to secure the best litera-

ture she can find on the subject. How-

ever, if she can have the heart-to-heart

talks that the story involves, it is al-

ways best.





You will never regret having taught

the true principles concerning man-

hood and womanhood, having safe-

The Little Bird that Sang toTMe





By William Leonhardt}





A little bird in a maple tree,



A song was singing, it seemed to me;



His voice was soft, and his song was

sweet,



And his echoing chorus was “tweet,

tweet.”





'He hopped about from limb to limo,



He sang to his mate and she sang to

him,



And I listened in rapturous ecstasy



To the blended sounds of their melody.





I knew their home was then close by,

And the cadience soft was a lullaby

To then wee, wee bird in the feathered





es,t

As the11 twtilight glowed in the distant

xAnd this was sort of a family tree,





For the birds seemed never afraid of





me;

And the cradle croons of bygone years

Came whispering low in memory 3

ears. -





1, too, had heard fond lullabies

As a soothing hush to my infant cries,

And a mother’s care was a mother's





:iOY

Whether for baby girl or boy.





Ah, the thoughtful care of bygone



years



Is often moist with hallowed tears,



For memory’ 5 path is ever strewn



With the_ music sweet of a mother’s

coo1ng.





But time moves on as well for me ~



As the wee, wee birdie in the tree;



And the gun, for me, has kissed the

And my memory 'sLIove is laid to rest

But, with its cares and joys so good,

makers, making it possible for 13,490

families, or 494 communities; to gain

such information, for that is the ten-

tative goal set by the home-makers

themselves in these counties at their

organization meetings which have

been held during the months of Sep-

tember and October.





While the average goal for each

county is to enroll sixteen communi-

ties; including from 400 to 500 fam-

ilies, some counties are more ambi—

tious than this and will reach from

700 to 1,000 families. This is espe-

cially true of counties having home

demonstration agents. Thus, Oakland

county will reach forty-eight communit

ties with an enrollment of 720 women

in the clothing project alone.





Counties with home demonstration

agents also ca1ry other projects,

such as girls’ club w01k, school nutri-

tion series, music appreciation, and

quite often help to develop an/all-

around program for community devel-

opment.





Counties without home demonstra-

tion agents have the services of a spe—

cialist from the college two days each

month. During these two days she

meets local leaders or delegates from

local groups. These leaders get the

instructions from the specialists and

bring it back to their respective local

groups. Thus the specialist’s time and

effort is multiplied sixteen to thirty-

two times.





It is therefore possible for mother to

gain information in her business of

home-making by taking one day of!

each month in which to study. Real-





izing her opportunity, she is making





every effort to perfect a strong county

organization that the project may

reach a large number of homemakers

within the county. f, ‘*

What is the trouble? Some crooks

' keep fresh, and maybe one or two will

be a little strong—Mrs. H. S.

Sometimes one crock of lard will

become rancid when the rest are still

in good condition, because, small pieces

of the c'racklings happen to get into

the lard when straining it. All the

crooks should be thoroughly sterilized

ARE THE TOMATOES Polsom





I have recently canned tomatoes in

a copper boiler, and afterwards notic-

ed that my boiler had a reddish tint to

“ it (inside), which previously had a

silver color. Do you think that my

tomatoes will now be dangerous to

eat ?—~Mrs. J Q



No doubt yours was a copper boiler

which was tinned on the inside. The

cooking of the tomatoes in this boiler,

, no doubt, reacted upon the very thin

coating of tin, dissolving it. It is

very possible that there may have

been some action upon the copper also,

and while tin compounds would not be

injurious, any copper which may have

been acted upon would be poisonous,

and I would hesitate to use the to-

matoes. '



If there was a large quantity of the

material, it might pay to send a sam-





 





ple to some reputable analytical lab-

oratory and have them analyzed for





e-co'p'per content, but as this would





mean acost of from five to ten dollars

in time and material, it would prob-

ably cost more than the tomatoes were

worth—Arthur J. Clark, Professor of

Chemistry.

LET ONION SOJo‘URN IN THE

NIONS, boiled, and served with

butter, salt, pepper, and occasion-

dinner. But if allowed to sojourn in

the oven for one hour, they are a de«

lightful change. Try them this way:

Peel ten onions and parboil them

for ten minutes. Mix to a paste, four

tablespoons of butter, two tablespoons

of lemon juice, two tablespoons chop-

ped parsley, one teaspoon each of salt,

sugar and paprika. Place onions in a

baking dish and divide the mixture,

placing a little on each onion. Add

half cup of water and bake slowly for

one hour. Keep dish covered until ten

minutes before taking from the oven.

ter way could I advertise our. cherry

down Grand Traverse Peninsula to

visit the Golden Observation Tower,

think I am doing them a favor when

I say, “I am serving fresh cherry pie

today.” ”Diabetic patients call for a\

COUNTY LIVE STOCK AGENTS. ‘





 





HE last session of the legislature

., amended the existing statutes by

giving authority to the boards of sup-

ervisors to appoint a county live stock

agent recommended by the commis-

sioner of agriculture, and such recom-

mendations have already gone out to

a number of the boards, and will doubt-

less be acted upon at the regular Oc-

tober session. The accreditation of a

county agent does not signify comple-

tion of the work of tuberculosis eradi-

cation, and it is absolutely essential to

the success of the project to have

some one on the job within the county

to continue with the re-testing of the

remaining infected herds and see that

quarantine regulations with respect to

bringing cattle into the county are

lived up to. These are matters which

require the attention of the local au-

thorities and are duties of the county

live stock agent. Every accredited

county should have such an agent.





WATCHING SURVEY OF HILLS-

DALE COUNTY. -





 





E-TESTING the infected herds of



Hillsdale county during the past

few weeks, is provoking a great deal

of interest. Hillsdale county was on

the first list of “Modified Accredited

Counties” in the United States, and

was officially accredited in July, 1923,

but the last complete test of the coun—

ty was made in the late fall of 1922.



The effort now is to determine ‘the

extent of infection in the herds of the

county by a survey including all the

herds which were originally infected,

and taking in additional herds adja-

cent to those‘in which infection was

found in the earlier testing.



To date, 226 of the previously infect-

ed herds have been re—tested. The

initial test on these 226 herds when

the county was first tested showed

thirteen per cent of the animals to be

tubercular. The majority of these

herds have not been retested within

three years, there being only one herd,

to our knowledge, that has received a

test within two years, and that herd

was re-tested eighteen months ago.



The test which has just been made

on these 226 herds shows a. percentage

Thirteen react-

ends. ‘ In" other

were removed from the herds.





i n, has '





been reduced from thirteen per cent

to .6 of one per cent. and the infested





herds reduced from 226‘to ten. Of the





thirteen reactors foundf nine were

calves in infected herds at the time

when diseased cattle were included in

the herds. One was a mature cow that

passed the test at the time infection

was found. in the herd. Three have

been born since the re-acting cattle

Thus

every one of the thirteen reactors 10-.

cated, originated in the infected herds,

none having been purchased from out'

side. Postmortem reports on twelve

of the thirteen reactors, one having

been killed by lightning, show lesions

in ten out of twelve, but none were

extensively diseased.





 





MAKING BUTTER AND SOIL

TESTS.





 





The Michigan Farmer makes men-

tion of making a soil acidity test by

the hydrochloric acid test. How is it

made? Can hand-separated milk be

churned either sweet or sour, and

make buttermilk?—E. H. R.



Hand-separated cream can be churn-

ed sweet, and make sweet butter, just

as well as the cream produced by pow-





“s in a creamer . There is . . . . . . .

eat sour, or ripened, cream butter.

Sweet cream does not churn as readily

as ripened cream, and therefore, where

one makes a small amount of butter

and has to churn by hand, the sweet

cream is hardly practical.

cry with plenty of power to do the

churning, it does not make so much

difference. Of course, when you churn

cream, separate the butter-fat and col-

lect it into butter, the remainder is

buttermilk. If you are churning sweet

‘cream, it will be sweet buttermilk; if

you are churning ripened cream. it

will be sour buttermilk. ‘



To test soil acidity with hydrochlor-

ic acid, take a bottle with a large neck

or a glass fruit jar and a small trowel,

or a large spoon, and go over the field

and get a small portion of soil from

various places in the field. Put them

into the jar. The test will work more

satisfactorily if the jar is only about

half full. Add rain water to this soil

and stir it until it is of uniform con-

sistency. Do not use well water, be-

cause this may contain lime com-

pounds and make your test worthless.

Add a small amount of hydrochloric

acid to this soil solution in the jar

and mix it with the soil. If there is

any lime compound in the soil, the

acid will act upon it and bubbles of

air will come up out of the mass of

soil. Just a few bubbles would indi-





cate a small amount of lime, but if?





there are many of them it would show

a fairly good lime content in the soil.





ONLY CORN FODDER FOR ROUGH-

AGE.





 





I have two Jersey cows and one

Durham, and I have nothing to feed

but corn fodder and corn and oats.

How much should be fed, and what

should be mixed with the ground corn

and oats?——J. S. K.



Corn fodder alone does not furnish





variety enough, nor enough protein to





make a good roughage part of the ra-,





tion. If you had clover or alfalfa hay

to feed with it,.that would improve it

very much from a basic standpoint.

But, by furnishing the necessary pro-

tein in the concentrated portion of the

ration for the whole ration, you can

get along fairly well.



The following ration is suggested:

Mix corn, oats and wheat bran in

equal parts by weight. Brands to be

most anything else because of its bulk .

earlier than the Rocks, and are better

I think this may be due to the rests

that the Rocks receive in the spring

and early summer, due to broodiness.

Selling Poultry Meat;



Most dealers do not like ’Leghorn

poultry meat. The fat Rock hens are

the easiest kind of poultry to sell.

They are in demand everywhere. The

families that are strangers to fryers

and broilers like their plump hen for

Sunday dinner





But Leghorn cockeiels grow rapidly '





and are birds of considerable quality

in the frying pan. I find that private

customers will buy them usually 4n





back the next week for more». They

find a ready sale when shipped to the

large city markets like Detroit. Some

dealers in Lansing will not buy Leg-

horn broilers when they can obtain

Rocks or Reds.



Where Size is a Disadvantage.

When a flock of Rocks are culled,.

the poultryman is sure of a fairly good

check. The heavier birds bring more

per pound, and you have more pounds.

That looks like a great advantage over

Leghorns. It is not so great as it,

must have that body built up and;

are equal in number, this fact must{

still be considered.

the eggs in the case of the heavier

breeds. i



My experience to date indicates that :

Leghorns require less feed than Rocks, I

both in maintaining the old birds and:

in producing the pullets. The Leg?

horns will thrive with three square

feet of floor space in the houses, while

the Rocks require four. The Leghorns

are seldom broody, and this “saves

time in shutting up hens on hot sum-

mer nights. I have heard that broodi-

ness can be bred out of heavy breeds,

but have consistently purchased stock

from among the best breeders of bred-

to—lay Rocks, and culled them, and in

a large flock, some of the birds will

be broody at least often enough to

make inspection of the nests neces-

sary every night at sundown to re-

move a few broody hens. Breeding

from the hens that ShOW little broodi-

ness helps in eliminating the fault, but

it is not easy to accomplish.



They Stay at Home.



_Leghorns do not fly into everything

if they are given a mash hopper and

plenty of feed on their own range near

their house. In fact, they seem very

domestic and enjoy remaining close to

their roosting and laying quarters. The

So, it is evident from my experi-

MILK HAS UNDESIRABLE TASTE.





 





We retail our own milk, and several -





complaints have come in about the

taste of the milk. Some say it is acid;

others don’t know what it is. We feed

corn silage, ground corn and oats, oil

.meal and cooked beans and corn fod-

der, as folléws: Corn silage, forty

pounds per day; corn and oats ground,

one pound to four pounds of milk;





oil meal, two pounds a day; cooked

beans, six quarts twice a day; corn

fodder and hay, all they can eat. Will





you please let me know if it is the

feed that causes the acid taste,,or

what it is and if it can be overcome?





There is nothing in the kinds or

amounts of the feeds you are using

that should‘cause off flavors in the

milk, provided, of course, they are

all of good quality. There is a possi-

bility that the cooked beans might

cause trouble if they are allowed to

ferment in the feed boxes or mangers.

Odors in the stable caused by fer-

menting feed of any kind, as very

rank, sour silage fed or stored in the

barn during milking time may cause

off flavors in the milk.



Scald the pails, cans, cooler, and all

milk utensils thoroughly twice daily

and place in the sunlight in well venti-

lated place, preferably in the open air,

it” not too dusty, during the daytime.

If these measures do not clear up the

t1 ouble in ten days or two weeks, write

in again.





SILAGE SPOILS.





 





Please tell me if there is an -.way

to prevent ensilage from spoilin while

feeding. I have a 12x35- foot silo and

am feeding six head of cattle and can-

not feed it fast enough to prevent it

spoiling. This is my first year feeding

ensilage, so do not. know very much

about it. Could I put a hollow tile

wall through the silo and feed off half

at a time? I am making a granary in

mv barn, which already has a cement

floor. Will it be necessary to do any-

thing more to floor to keep moisture

11 om the grain ?-—O. ..T





It is necessaryto feed off about two

inches of silageldail’y after feeding has

begun, in order to keep it from spoil-

ing. It is usually necessary to feed

off more than‘this amount during the

warm weather. _



It would be possible t6 build a wall

across the silo ’and feed off one-half

of the silo at a time. However, there

is considerable pressure exerted by

the silage and it would be necessary

to either reinforce this cross wall, or

to feed on one side of the silo for a

time, and then on the other. In the

course, . considerable

1123’» to one cow? Has sugar beets any

injurious effects to a cow?—~M. R. F.



There are several varieties of roots

that are very desirable for feeding to

dairy cows. In the Lower' Peninsula

mangels, golden tankards and sugar

beets lead the list, probably in the or-

der' named. In the UppergPeninsula

rutabagas would probably lead in fa—

vor. Red garden beets have been

found very satisfactory for “cows on

official test; however, owing to the

small yield per acre, would hardly be

satisfactory as a herd,feed. Beets

should not be stored in a warm base-

ment, but preferably in a cool cellar

or pit until fed. Fifteen to thirty

pounds constitute a daily feed, depend—

ing upon the root supply and the avail-

ability of other slicculent feeds. Sugar

beets have no injurious effects when

fed in reasonable amounts to dairy

cows.





SOY BEANS FOR COWS.





 





I have some Ito San -soy beans

and would like to know if they are

good feed for milk cows, for horses,

and calves three months old—A. L. H.





Soy beans make excellent feed for

dairy cows, replacing cottonseed meal

pound for pound in the daily ration.

They have been used quite extensively

for horses in the south as a substitute

for oats. They should be fed ground

in all cases and mixed with corn or

barley.



When used to replace oats, slightly

less than half of the weight of oats

should be fed. Because of their very

laxative nature they have not proved

very satisfactory as a calf feed, espe-

cially when fed with skim-milk. They

may be used to some extent in “mix-

tures used as milk substitutes where

skim-milk is not available. .





QOMPARATIVE VALUE OF BEANS

AS A cow FEED.





 





I would like to know the feeding

value of ground cull beans. In what

proportions should they be mixed with

corn and oats ground? Would you

advise adding oil meal to this mixture?

I am feeding my cows clover hay, bean

pods and shredded corn fodder as a

roughage—VV. M



While no careful tests have been

made to ascertain the coefficient of di-

gestibility. of beans as an animal food,

it is safe to assume that it does not

differ materially’ from that of peas,

for we get quite as satisfactory re-

sults with beans as a human food as

With peas.





Beans contain twenty per cent of

digestible protein and, assuming that

protein should be used as the determ-

ining factor in estimating the value of

a feed, which is admissible because all

our feeding stuffs supply ample car-

bohydrates, then beans W0111d be twice

as valuable as ground oats, which con-

tain only ten per cent protein; and

nearly twice as valuable as wheat

bran, which contains twelve per cent

protein. Likewise, beans are nearly

three times as valuable as ground

corn, with only eight per cent protein.



It would be entirely safe to use

these comparative values in balancing

up a ration of bean pods and clover

hay and cornstalks. If you mix ground

corn and oats and bean meal, equal

parts by weight, that is, 100 pounds of

ground com, 100 pounds of ground

oats, and 100 pounds of bean meal,

you ought to get good results without





the addition of any other grain. Bean

pods are about as rich in protein as

clover hay.





 

 

 





 

   





 

 





 

   

   

 

   

   





F course you wouldn' 1 do so knowingly—with butter-



fat worth 40c to 50¢ a pound. Yet hundreds of thou-



sands of people are feeding large amounts of cream in



skim-milk to thelr hogs, because of inefficient separators.



Without a cent of expense you can tell whether your



cream separator is skimming clean. Ask your De Laval

Agent to bring out a new De Laval and try this test:

For 48 yeais‘, since De Laval invented the centrifugnl

separator. De Laval Separators have led the world in

efficiency of work and popularity. The present De Laval

is the best of all. It has the wonderful "floating bowl"—

the greatest cream separator improvement in 25 years.

It is guaranteed to skim cleaner. It runs easier with

milk going through the bowl. and lasts longer. Liberal

allowances are made for old separators as part payment

on new De Lavals.

keep for breeding were taken from the

Evidently, these men are more than

average farmers. They are able to do

something a little better than anyone

else can do it, which places them

above the average. Of course, every

tractor farmer is not raising two-ton

litters, but it is certainly interesting

to note that every two-ton litter raiser

is a power farmer.





And it isn’t only the two-ton litter

men who are using iron horses on their

farms. All over the country there are

one-hundred-bushel cOrn clubs and

forty-bushel wheat clubs, and compe-

tition is keen among these fellows. It

is not at all surprising to note that a.

good many of these men with records

in field crops behind them, are also

power farmers.



In 1924 more than half of the one-





,hundred-bu'shel corn'club winners were





power farmers»; men who used trac-

tors on their farms, and used them

well.

in Ohio’s one-hundred bushel corn club,

twenty-two used tractors to raise their

corn crops.



‘Tractors have been ‘developed to a

high point of efficiency. The machin-

ery used with these tractors has been

improved to such a point that one man





with a tractor, and the machine that





it pulls, can do as much work as three

or four men formerly did with horses

and horse-drawn equipment.



In Ohio, the agricultural engineer-

ing department of the agricultural col-

lege has been working on a. complete-





- ly motorized corn crop. Everything is





done with tractors. The-project has

been going on for more than two

years now, and the results show a sub-

stantial saving in time and labor,

which means a substantial saving in

ENSILAGE FOR SHEEP.





Is ensilage good for sheep? I am

short of other feed, but have lots of

ensilage. How-much would you feed

to sheep? I havoheard that ensilage

is as good as grain for horses. —T.



A proper amount of ensilage in a.

ration is good for any animal. En-

silage is a. succulent, carbonaceous

roughage, and should always be fed in

conrfectlon with some form of dry

roughage food, and with some concen-

trate (grain) which furnishes extra.

protein sufficient to make a balanced

ration. It would be quite improper to

feed ensilage alone as a full ration.

Some have tried this and then..con-

demned ensilage. It will lead to diges-

tive troubles. But if fed in proper

amounts, and in combination with oth-

er foods, it is splendid.



Thirty pounds of silage is consid-

ered about a. proper amount of silage

for a. LOGO-pound cow per day. Now,

if your sheep average 100 pounds each,

you should feed only thirty pounds of

silage per day to ten sheep, or three

pounds per day per sheep. If "ou

feed ensilage in this way, you will get

only good results?



Silage does not take the place of

grain for horses, nor for any other an-

imal. That is where people make their

mistake. Feed horses ensilage as di-

rected above. and you will get good

results, provided the ensilage is of

good duality.





 





THESE AILMENTS ARE HARD TO

TREAT.





Bog Spavin—Thomughpin.—I have

a two-year-old filly that has bog spavin

and thoroughpin, brought on by rac-

mg, or slipping in pasture. I would

like to know more about her ailment.

Can she be cured? If left alone would

she grow worse? F. F, Grafton, Wis.

—A bog spavin may be defined to be

a. soft putty tumor situated on the

antero—«internal aspect of the hock-

joint, and consisting of a distension of

the capsular ligament with synovial

fluid, which. in consequence of some

irritation, has become greatly aug-

mented in quantity, and causes a bulg—

ing out whe1e the capsular ligament is

not bound down. Bog spavin is sim-

ilar to, but is a more serious condi-

tion than, a windgall, because, in the

former condition the capsular ligament

IS involved. Bog spavin is most fre-

quently met with amongst heavy bore

es, and in such animals very little im-

portance is attached to its presence

unless actual lameness is present in

connection with it. But in light horses

used for fast work, the presence of

hog spavin, or any unnatural fullness

in the region of the hock, should al-

ways be viewed with the greatest sus-

picion. Neither thoroughpin nor bog

spavin, except in rare cases, appears

to do any harm when occurring in

heavy horses. Bog spavin and thor-

oughpin usually co-exist. If she is not

lame, and the enlargement is not great,

you had better leave her alone. Vet-

erinarians find it dilficult to reduce

reduced.

Equal parts of tincture of iodine and

spirits of camphor, applied daily, might

reduce the puffy swelling. In some





 





' oases blistering has a. good effect.

I offer every .reader of this paper

this chance to rid‘his stock of worms

with Wormix; my new concentrated,

medicated, mineralized salt, on 30

days trial before he pays me a. cent

for it. I want you to





see .and know, from

actual use on your

own farm stock, with‘

out risking a single





penny, that WORMIX



“ is the- best and most

satisfactory protection

against worms in hogs,

.sheep, horses or cat-

. tle, ever offered. I want

to PROVE to you also,

- before you pay, that it

costs you only about

HALF as much as oth-

er Worm preparations,

and saves you all the

bother of catching and dosing each an-

imal; with WORMIX, your animals

doctor themselves.



WORMIX is a. concentrated, medi-

cated and mineralized salt. You need

to add only 15 lbs. of it t08 85 lbs. of

salt, to make 100 lbs. of the best

remedy you ever fed. It completely

cleans out stomach and intestinal

worms; is a. great tonic and condi-

tioner; absorbs foul intestinal gases

in which food ferments and worms





 





thrive. W 0 R M I X quickly puts

wormy, lun- -down animals in such

healthy, thrifty condition, that they





are better able to resist disease. It

aids digestion and so enables stock

to get all the good out of their feed

and saves you the cost of the feed now

consumed by w01 ms

WORMIX does more than destroy

is economical to feed. You don’t pay

Don’t send me a. cent of money—

pounds of WORMIX, which you

add to 17 lbs. of common salt, as

directed, to make 20 lbs. of the best



worm destroyer, tonic and conditioner

you ever used. Feed it as directed

and at the end of 30 days if you do

not feel thoroughly satisfied with the

results, just write, but don’t pay for it.

On the other hand,

' . WHEAT





After advancing to the highest point

in five weeks. wheat"”‘prices settled

back again in the last few days. Spec-

ulative operations played a large part

in both rise and fall, but they were

promoted by developments in the cash

market, and by changes in the world

outlook. Market prospects would be

improved if importing countries were

buying more actively. Reports on the

volume of sales of North American

wheat are conflicting, but, in general,

foreign buYers are still playing a wait—

ing game by accepting offerings rather

than by active bidding for supplies.

Sooner or later, importers must begin

to purchase on a larger scale. If this

occurs in the next two or. three

months, it will have a very stimulat—

ing effect on prices, but if it is de-

layed until Argentina begins to offer

new wheat, the effect will be less pro‘

nounced, assuming that present pros-

pects in the southern hemisphere are





maintained.

- RYE





The rye situation is more promising

because of the failure of large exports

from Russia. The extreme discount

under wheat will promote substitution

in Europe. No export business in

American rye has developed as yet,

and the advance in the last few days

has been chiefly in sympathy With





wheat.

CORN





While the movement of corn to pri-

mary markets is larger than two

Weeks ago, it is still rather small. De—

mand has been extensive enough to

absorb it, and part of the stocks at

terminals in addition. Bad weather

has seriously retarded husking opera-

tions, as well as caused shock damage.

At the same time, it has increased feed

requirements. Country elevators re-

port that com offered them is too wet

for shipment. If this situation con-



.tinues, the big movement slated_for

December may be delayed, and prices

maintained on a higher level than oth-

erwise. There is little doubt that the

corn surplus states actually have a



_. large supply to be marketed.

Cows are in excellent

production is expected to be about the

the crop is good, and openi prices

FEEDS





Offerings of wheat feeds were light

last week, and prices ruled firm as the

wintry weather in many sections has

stimulated demand. Canadian mills

announced advances on their products

which resulted in strong eastern mar-





kets.

HAY





Prices for hay averaged somewhat

higher last week. Medium grades are

finding a better demand with the ap

proachof winter. Pastures have been

hurt by early frosts, which means

heavier indoor feeding, and dairies are

buying good clove'r hay in large

amounts. Oderings of prairie hay are

very light, in line with the small crop,

and prices are firm and higher.





EGGS





2'13 Unseasonably cold weather through-

out the middle west, with its inevita-

ble effect on egg production, boosted

the egg market to new high prices last

week. The proportion of new laid eggs

is increasing, however, which dissi-

pates the idea of any prolonged short—

age in supplies. Storage eggs are

meeting more favor, but the surplus

in stocks over last year is not being

reduced in spite of relatively lower

prices.‘

WOOL ,





The tendency in the wool market is

upward. The chief strength is abroad.

Australian and South frican wool

prices have advanced about ten per

cent in the last month. At present,

American markets are said to be near-

ly the cheapest in the world. Domes~

tic mills are assured of enough orders

for goods to take care of more wool

than is now available so that our pric-

es must follow the foreign level if it

continues to rise. The strength is all

as it comes when

new clip wools in the southern hemis-

phere are beginning to come on the

market in volume. -





MITTEE REPORTS

ON BEANS.





 





HE recently appointed Michigan

Agricultural Economic Committee

met at Lansing on Monday of this

eek and, after making a. careful study





T





priced at of the conditions of supply and de-





mand in the bean market, gave out

the following statement:



The October first estimate of been

production for Michigan for the year

1925 is 7,356,000 bushels, which is 1,-

508,000 bushels, or 25 per cent, in ex-

cess of the production for 1924. There

has been enormous damage since the





conditions. According to the most re

liable-information obtainable, there

will probably be no larger quantities

of merchantable beans this year than

in 1924. Conditions for the United

States are probably the same as for.

Michigan. On October 15, 1924, the

average farm price for beans was 35

per cwt.; on November 15, 1924,-it was

$5.25 per cwt. The members of this

committee are, A. B. Cook, chairman;

I. R. Waterbury, Milo Grinell, Mrs.

Dora. Stockman, Prof. J. T. Horner,

Clarence Diehl, Charles B. Scully, M.

L. Noon,'James N. McBride and Bird

Vincent.

for hogs,

lower.

Nothing new has developed in the

demand situation. Domestic consump-

tion is broad and promises to continue

in the same way, while foreign buying

is listless. ,



The records indicate that the 1924

pig 'crop was materially underestimat-

ed. Based on the pig surveys for that

year, the department of agriculture es-

timated the probable number of hogs

to be slaughtered under federal inspec-

tion in the twelve months ending



other 31, 1926, at 42, 000, 000 head. Ac-

tual slaughter will be about 46,000,000

head. Because of this underestimate

of supplies, prices in the summer and

early fall were not up to expectations.

The department of agriculture itself

forecasted a probable average price for

heavy hogs at Chicago in October,

1926, at between $16 and $16. The ac-

tual price probably will be under $12.





LAMB PRICES NEAR TOP.





LAMB prices are holding near the

top for the season, with best fat

westerns at $15. 50 at Chicago. To-





,tal receipts at leading markets have





fallen off nearly a third, compared with

four weeks ago. The reduction is chief-

ly in the supply of feeder lambs, but

a decrease in arrivals of fat lambs al-

most invariably occurs at this season.



In the sixteen weeks ending October

17, 1, 483, 313 lambs and sheep were

shipped to the country from twelve

leading markets, compared with 1, 830, -

275 in the same period last year, and

1,921,316 head two years ago. Direct

shipments may have been larger than

last year, but notenough to make up

for the difference in the count at mar-

ket centers.





OOU NTY CROP REPORTS.





Cass Co., Oct. 30. —More wheat was

sown this fall than for several season ’3

past; early sown looking fine, some

pieces not up, covered Nwith snow. Po-

tatoes not .all dug. Nice quality, half

crop. Prices very high. Most of the

crop will be marketed this fall, paying

$1.35 in field There is more clover

seed than we have had in ten years;

normal yield. Will not all be hu led

on account of the bad weather. am

well matured, .more than average crop,

but far short of farmers' opinion, and

general expectation. Price 700 per

bushel —F E. G.



Kent Co., Oct. 29. —About the same

acreage of fall grains were sown this

fall. All crops are pretty well housed

at this time. Some beans and pota-

toes are still out, however. Potatoes

are yielding about the usual amount,

but the acreage is below normal. Live

stock is in good condition, as pastures

have been good. Beans show a normal

yield. Not much fall plowing will be

done, on account of late harvesting of

fall crops. Potatoes bring $1.50 per

bushel; beans $4.50 per cwt. There is

a good Crop of buckwheat, but none

has been threshed yet. W.



Allegan 00., Oct. 26.—About the us-

ual acreage of wheat has been sown.

Potatoes are a fair crop. Weather con—

ditions are poor for harvesting. The

present price is $1.10 per bushel. Ap-

ples were good ,and bring around 750

per bushel. Live stock is in good con-

dition, and dairy cattle selling at high

prices. Horses are very cheap. Very

few cattle on feed. Wheat is still in

the bins. Butter 45c; eggs 46c. —A. 0.



Bay 00., Oct. 28. —The fall crops in

this locality run about ten per cent

above last year. Potatoes are good,

but the acreage is small, most farm-

ers raise enough for their’ own use.

WHEAT SEEDING LATE.





NATURE may save the wheat grow-

ers from a big surprise, and con



sequent low prices next year. Re-

ports to the department of agriculture

are to the eflect that plowing and

seeding of winter wheat in the United





States has been delayed in nearly the'





entire Wheat belt. In eastern and cen-

tralsouthern sections, the. delay in

seeding may. cause a reduction in in-

tended acreage. Earlier seedings, how-

ever, are making agood stand, and

the condition is excellent.





'SHIP MIXED CARS TO ADVAN-

TAG





 





HIPPE’RS 0n the eastern shore of



Maryland are developing many new



markets for the produce of that

section by forwarding carload lots of

mixed fruits and vegetables. By load-

mg a car with several products, ship-

pers find good markets in small towns

that could not handle carlots of a sin-

gle commodity.



These markets pay about as good

prices as the large centers of distribu-

tion, and sometimes when the large

markets are glutted, the small town

price is likely to be better. It is pos-

sible to load mixed lots more quickly

than entire carlots of a single com-

modity. This As especially true of

fruits and vegetables that come in a.

week or ten days ahead of the bulk of

the crop. .In addition, there are com-

munities where it is difficult to secure

carload shipments of one commodity,

and certain crops, such as lima beans,

are not grown in sufficient quantity to





fill solid cars.

L. A.W Shiloh, Mich. ——If your two

cows, whivth gave birth to dead calves,

carried their calves full period, breed

them again. If they have vaginal dis-

charge, flush, using a one per cent ly-

sol solution, daily until well.



Tuberculosis—Ever since my two

year—old cow had her calf, she has

gradually lost flesh, and coughed con-

siderable. M. S. Batavia, Mich.—





 





 





Have your veterinarian apply the tu—_





herculin test.



Sow Falls to Come in Heat—I have



a brood sow that should have raised

a litter of pigs this fall, but she fails

to come in heat. I might add that

there was any amount of brood sows

shipped out 'of the stock yards to here

that fail to breed. 0. R. 8., Marshall,

Mich ——If none of the sows you refer

to come in heat, it is possible that they

have been spaYed; if so, they will

never come in heat. Look for scar,

where wound was made. Of course,

your letter does not state that none

of them have come in heat. Yohim-

bine is the best remedy. Tablets are

sold under the name of vetol for use

in veterinary practice. One—sixth of

a grain of yohimbine hydrochloride is

the right dose for a sow, and you

should give three doses daily, until

she comes in heat.

- Bunch on Breast—Have a cow that

recently came fresh, which has a.

bunch on her breast, but hunch is soft,

as if it contained water. H. B., Zee-

land, Mich. —The bunch contains ser-

u,m a watery fluid, and if you will

open it up freely, then swab out the

cavity with tincture of iodine, she will

soon get all right. Doubtless she has

bruised breast.



Barrenness.———I have a cow that has

failed to freshen for the past two

years. Have noticed a bloody dis-

charge from her occasionally, and am

told this is a symptom of abortion. E.

”L. Smith, East Jordan, Mich. —Keeping





a cow of this kind must cause you‘





some financial loss, therefone you had

better fatten her for the butcher.

Diarrhea—«I have nine tall pigs

which were well and had a good appe-

tite before they were weaned; since

then they have a :bad diarrhea and"

seem to have, lost their appetite. I





feed them ground- grain and skinnnillni’“





They are in pen. M. S., St. Louis.

Mich—Boll their milk, clean the feed;

ing utensils. Give each pig five drops

of paragoric in feed three times a. day.

' ' Seven Great Houses





 





HESE Seven Great Houses

were built at big railway and

mail centers so that one of them

' would be near to you—so that your

_ orders would reach us quicker—

your goods would reach you

‘ quicker, and with less postage

and freight for you to pay.

Building these big plants in each

section of the United States is part

of our plan to give you the quick-

est and best possible service.





Their Combined Buying

Power Brings You the

Lowest Prices





One of these seven big stores could

buy goods cheaply and sell goods

’ at low prices, just as other stores

do. But acting together, buying all

together, their vast purchases en-

able us to buy and sell at lower

than market prices.



Each season we go into the

market with over Fifty Million dol-

lars in cash. Think of that tremen-

dous advantage. Car load lots, yes

even the entire output of a factory

is bought; the markets of the world

are searched to secure goods of

standard quality at prices lower

than a smaller organization could

possibly buy.



Mm: .





Is Near to You

Ward’s. We make sure that every

article we sell is dependable—that
