TAXES 'HlNDER AGRICULTURE.





 





HE increase in direct and indirect

local, county and state taxes,

stands out as most important among

the reasons why agricultural condi~

tions, although considerably improved,

have kept pace with other interests.

A study recently made by the Wash-

ington office of the National Grange

shows that taxes have greatly increas-

ed in almost every state and commu-

nity in the United States. \In many

states and communities the tax is now

greater than the net return, or a fair

rental value of the farm land.

Many non-agricultural industries





- have .been able to absorb these taxes





because of economic conditions which

have permitted them to increase pric-

es as costs increased. This has not





been possible in most agricultural sec-





tions.





ASK BETTER CREDIT FACILlTlES.





 





OWA farmers, through their repre-



sentatives, have asked President

Coolidge to use his influence in behalf

of an effort seeking to provide them

better credit facilities through the fed-

eral farm loan board. They ask that

the intermediate credit banks be au-

thorized to accept as security for

loans, warehouse receipts given in ex-

change for stored crops. They insist

that they must have the means of

holding their crops for several months

until market prices are more favor-

able.





LONG RANGE WEATHER FORE-

CASTS.





 





OME time ago the weather bureau,

which evidently has abandoned its

policy of ridicule toward long—range

weather forecasting, announced that it

was going to do some research work‘

along this line. ,

The scientists of the Smithsonian In-

stitution, however, not satisfied with

the proposed efforts of the weather

bureau, are going to make a thorough

exploration of long-range weather fore-

casting and its possibilities. The Na.-

tional Geographic Society has donated

$55,000 to permit the Smithsonian

scientists to extend their studies of

the sun’s radiation to the eastern hem-

isphere. They believe that the changes

in weather are due to the radiation of

the sun’s heat, and when they are able

to note correctly these changes months

ahead, long-range forecasting will be

an established fact.

How to Treat t/ze Borer





FARMERS living in the two eastern tiers of Michigan counties,

running from the Ohio line to the tip of the Thumb, should -

begin at once the practice of fighting the European corn borer.

These counties are now quite generally infested; that is, in nearly

every township of these counties borers have been found. The

practices which are known to be effective in the control of the



pest are:



1. Ensiloing the corn crop. The borer cannot suivive the neat-

-ment given him in the silo.



2 Shredding the fodder. Over ninety per cent of the borers

are said to be killed by this process.



3. Fall—plowing the corn stubble, if possible. Where this is done



-_ late in November, 3. large per cent (if borers will be destloyed.



4. Breaking down the stubbles that remain in winter, by drag-

ging over them a heavy timber or steel girder, then piling and

burning.



.5. Collecting and burning all cornstalk butts and corn cobs scat-



_ tered about the premises in the spring.



6. Clearing up all vegetative matter about the farm where it is

possible for the borer to harbor. He is known to burrow in some

250 varieties of plants. .



7._ Planting an early maturing corn about the first of June, and

then harvesting it as early in the fall as possible.

These calves were all pure-breds and

finished out in real nice shape. The

gain, as well as the net profit per head,

is not large, yet it must be remember-

ed that these calves were all fed by

youngsters who were inexperienced in

this line of work. The fact remains,

however, that they all showed a bal-

ance on the right side of the ledger,

the smallest net profit being $10.07.

and the largest $31.12.



Several people in this section watch-

the past year’s experience we should

make it even more successful.

The farmers of Michigan face the

loss of millions of dollars unless this

pest be controlled. At present, the

only practical means of control seems

to be to destroy the borers in the stalk

and then burning refuse, stalks, and

cobs. We must have legislation to‘

make this clean-up compulsory.

CURRENT COMMENT





N another page of

Unity this issue, there

I appears an account of

0 the largest gathering

of rural women ever

assembled at the

Michigan State College. More than

five hundred women, representing

twenty or more counties of this state,

traveled a good many miles to attend

* this get-together.



Some months ago the press carried

. reports of the International Congress

.. of Women, which met in Washington,

D. C. This congress, made up ofvdel-

.egat'es from all parts of the world, de-

voted much time to quarrelsome argu-

ing. Two weeks ago, the National

Council of Women met in Detroit.

Again, these convention women spent

valuable moments disputing points of

parliamentary law and the eligibility



of certain delegates.





. But, at this first annual meeting at



Michigan State College, of local lead-

ers in home economics extension

work, time was put to good use, and

not a minute was wasted. When not

in joint session, these women were

earnestly discussing their home prob-

lems, in small groups. Throughout the

day’s program there was a unity of

purpose, and a strength in that unity

of purpose, that recorded what these

rural women had accomplished in the

way of raising the standard of living

in their respective homes and commu-

nities, and indicated what they might

accomplish in the future.



In the study of better food, better

clothing, and better homes, these wom-

en awaken an interest in home life

that will tie their boys and girls, the

farmers of tomorrow, closer to the}

home and rural interests.

standing, a. majority of whom are per-

sonally interested in agriculture as

owners and operators of Michigan

farms. We believe that the job they





m have completed in ‘building the State





Fair into a big institution from a. small

beginning, without cost to the taxpay-

ers of the state, stands alone in the

history of such institutions.



The State Fair is one of our oldest

Michigan institutions. The first State

Fair was held in DetrOit in 1849. This





.year’s fair was the seventy-sixth anni-





versary of that event. During this pe-

riod it has had a. varied history, and

was held with varying success in sev-

eral different cities of the state, dur-

ing all of which time it was the ar-

biter of its own destiny, being directed

through a loose organization of its own

"exhibitors and patrons, known as the

Michigan State Agricultural Society.

It is a great tribute to its founders,

and its sponsors during succeeding





generations, that it lived and grew up'





under these conditions without 3! doi-

lar of state aid. But this was not ac-

complished without discouragements

and vicissitudes, and, at the time it

was permanently located in Detroit on

its own grounds, its directors, include

ing some of the men now on the board

of managers, were personal endorsers

of the society’s obligations to the tune

of $60,000, which represented the net

deficit resulting from the previous op-

eration of the fair.





At this time the late J. L. Hudson,

of Detroit, interested himself in behalf

of the fair, and, heading the subscrip—

tion list with a large donation, solicit-

ed from Detroit business men a large

fund with which a substantial portion

of the present State Fair site was

purchased and deeded to the State Ag-

ricultural Society, and a part of the

present equipment of buildings

erected.





Shortly after this the board of man-

agers elected George W. Dickinson,

the present incumbent, as secretary-

manager of the fair. Under his regime,

as the active agent of the 'business

committee, the obligations of the or-

ganization were paid, substantial addi-

tions and improvements made to the

grounds and equipment of some thirty

buildings erected, without a dollar of

state aid, 'or a cent of expense to the

taxpayers of the state. .





Thus the State Fair grew to propor-

tiOns which attracted official notice,

and, some four years ago, a campaign

was started to make it a State Fair

in fact of ownership as well as in

name and function. There was fear

on the part of many that this would

be a detriment through the introduc-

tion of politics which would offset the

advantages of putting the resources of

the state back of the fair. But these

fears were quieted and the old State

Agricultural Society deeded the plant

to the state and the fair has been, up

to the present time, continued under

a new act much as it had run before.



In the meantime, the State Fair

plant has grown and expanded to a.

conservative value of $2,500,000, with

a bonded indebtedness of $1;000,000,

without: any aid from the state ex-

cept during the past three years, and

excepting that a. small portion of a

general appropriation for use in the

payment of fair' premiums was, for

some years allocated to the State Fair

by a state board charged with its dis-

tribution. For three years past a. leg-

islative appropriation of $76,000 per

year was granted to the State Fair for

premiums and maintenance to enable

pointment of new men on the board of

managers. It is “the governor’s ' right

to appoint whom he chooses. Nor is

it a. criticism bf the men recently ap-

pointed, who we assume are good men.

It is intended merely to point out that





the men who have been in active charge:-

of the State Fair in recent years have





conducted it in a manner which we

feel certain has been eminently satis-

factbry to the taxpayers of the state

and at the same time built up a State

Fair which is generally acknowledged

to be one of the leading fairs of the

country.





EADERS of the





~. Bean‘Ad Michigan Farmer

Fund will recall the discus-

sion a n d tentative



Returned adoption of a plan en-.





dorsed by bean grow-

ers and dealers, for the collection of





a. fund fer the advertising of Michigan -





beans. This plan contemplated-"the

contribution of one cent ’per cwt.‘o'n





beans marketed by growers, and a like ‘





amount by the dealers handling them.

‘After the endorsement of the *plan by

a large number of representative grow-

ers and by the Michigan Bean Job-

bers’ Association, an advertising com-





mittee, composed of growers and deal- '





ers, was appointed, and F. W. Mer-

rick, of Saginaw, was appointed cus-

todian of the fund.



Notwithstanding this action, the

plan was not put into general effect by

bean "dealers, as was contemplated, al-

though a considerable number of deal-

ers did carry out the plan, as reported

from~ time to time in the Michigan

Farmer. This resulted in the collec-

tion of a fund of approximately $7,000,

which wasonly a fraction of the total

fund contemplated, had the anticipat-

ed cooperation of bean dealers been

realized.



Chairman A. B. Cook, of the adver-

tising committee, reports that in view

of the small total of the fund so col-

lected, and the limited number of con-

tributors, compared with the total num-

ber of growers and dealers, the com-

mittee decided to return all contribu-

tions to their donors, and that the cus-

todian of the fund has returned the

total amount of contributions to the

dealers through whom they were col-

lected. Thus all bean growers who

contributed to the fund should have

received a refund of their contribu-

tions, or the same should be available

It is a matter for regret that more

general cooperation was not accorded

to this plan for widening the available

market for their great Michigan cash

crop, but great credit is due for the

sincere effort made by the committee

and the contributors, and especially

for the gratuitous service rendered by

custodian Merrick in receiving, ac-

counting for, and disbursing the fund.

Farmer Wants Chance to Help Self





- ~ Senator Artflur Copper So Dee/are: in Address Before Potato Gro wen





HE farmer is at a great disad-



\ vantage in the highly developed

industrial organism of today. It



is a mistake for anyone to assume

that any permanent selution of the

agricultural problem in the United

States has as yet been reached. Con-





ditions undoubtedly have improved in'





the past year or two, and the farmer

is feeling better, but he is far from





being on a satisfactory money-making





basis.

Farmers received ten billion dollars

for their products last year. Consum-





, ers paid“ thirty billion dollars for those





same proddbts.



Nineteen million people in this coun-

try traflicked in the products of our

thirty-four million farmers last year.

The nineteen million distributors, car-

riers, dealers and others, got $2.00 for

the farmer’s product, to the farmer’s

$1.00. The chief reason for this is,

that we have the costliest, the most

wasteful, and most inefficient system





of distribution of any country in the:





world. We have “too much spread be-



tween producer and conSumer..

Distribution costs usually account



for about ninety-five per cent of the





 





twice again. By the end of that day I

felt much like a. movie actor.





About the first thing we saw at Win-

nepeg was some Royal Canadian

mounted police, apparently walking by

the depot so that our ladies could

look at them; and they did look. We

men had to admit that they looked





fine, with their tightefitting red coats,‘





riding breeches and Boy Scout hats.

Romance of the open country, and

virile manhood they exemplified.



At Brandon we got our first real

view of the vast prairie country, which

one could visualize. as one_great big

wheat field. About all one could see

was wheat, telephone posts, and hous-

e's once in a while.



They took us to the farm of Oscar

mixed farming. in his barnyard Was a

bunch of hogs which did not look ex-

ples grown in that state and market-

ed in New York: Average retail price,

$5.00 a box. Grower’s portion, $1.18.

Retailer, $1.87. Jobber, forty-nine

cents. Wholesaler, thirty-nine cents.

Transportation charges, eighty cents.

Shipping organizations’ market mar-

gins averaged twenty-"Seven cents. Ser—

vice costs were the main cause of

price spreads. at eve1y stage in the

process of distribution. More efficient

service at each stage in marketing of-

fers a prospect of increased returns to

the grower.





The farmer is not asking the gov-

ernment to subsidize his business, or

guarantee a return on his labors. The

legislation he Wants most is legisla-

tion that will help him to help himself.



To have,some control over his own

market is thean’swer to the farmer’s

troubles, and'rthe government makes

a mistake when‘ it does not concen-

trate its e‘fiOrts toward that end.



One’ great trouble in this country is

over-production in all industry. We

are over-machined. We are in a pe-

riod, of over-production! that can. be

' remedied only by cooperation and a

better understanding on along the line

actly like the kegs raised in our corn

belt, but no corn is grown there, and

therefore, they have to finish the hogs

on oats and barley. The hogs were

up on legs quite a little, and would

make good bacon hogs,vwe judged.





The farm .of Robert Wheeler had

some fine wheat on it which, they said,

would go forty-five‘bushels. Mr. Wheel-

er came to Brandon with fifteen dol-

lars and a lot of determination, and

now has a large acreage, a fine house

with all modern conveniences, and a

new barn which cost him $7,000. His

barn was filled with horses that no

one would sneeze at. In fact, all

through our trip, especially in the prai-

rie provinces, good horses were evident.

Tractors are not used, even with a

vast acreage, as horses are cheaper

and can be handled better in the gum-

bo soil when .it is wet.





The ‘Dominion Experiment Station

at Brandon showed very good results

' stations are trying to teach diversifica-





tion. Vegetables of all kinds do very

well there. Especially is cauliflower

good. It produces fine white heads





without tying over. Small fruits are

grown, but it is impossible to grow

peaches and pears. Some northern

varieties of plums do well, and crab-

apples and the native wild apples also

are productive. The Canadians feel

Mr. Brandt Finishes His Hogs on Oats and Barley.





The farmer needs more information

about his marketing problem. ‘He must

have more complete and up-to—date in—

formation as to world conditions af-

fecting the price of his products. It

is very necessary that he should know

substantially what price he is likely

‘to receive for his crop. He should

have this information before he plants

his crop, and govern himself accord—

ingly, just as the business man or

manufacturer knows what he is going

to receive for-his product before he

produces it. Our agricultural depart-

ment is doing better work than ever

before in this direction.



The remedy for the farmer does not

lie entirely in legislation, by any

means. We can help some at Wash-

ington, but the farmer will be helped

chiefly through organization and the

play of economic forces; through co—

operative marketing and diversified

farming.





I believe practical cooperation along

business lines offers greater hope to

agriculture than almost any other

thing suggested at this time for agri-

cultural betterment. Eflicient manage-





ment is the largest single factor in co-





operative success. No matter what

discouragements come to cooperative





y’marketing, the cause itself will tri-

umph in the end because 'it is sound





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





and right. Let me add that I am op-.

posed to bringing cooperatives under

any kind of government control.



The farmer is doing better than a

year or two ago, but he is still unable

to overcome the handicap imposed by

being compelled to sell in competition

with cheaper and newer lands, cheaper

labor, poorer living conditions, and _.

cheaper transportation of foreign couno

tries, and at the same time purchase

his supplies on a market protected.

from all this competition.



One of three things is bound to oc-‘

cur. Either the pnce of farm products

must be brought up to a point that

will give the fan'ner sufficient profit

to pelmit him to maintain a standard

of living compalable to men in other

HE Michigan State Grange held



its fifty-second annual conven-



tion at Adrian, in Lenawee coun-

ty, known well for the prominent

grangers it has produced.



The meeting, as a whole, was not

as exciting as others of previous years,

but nevertheless it was a very suc-

., - cessful convention. An unusual feature

was the attendance of some prominent

"grangers, notably, Louis J. Tabor, of

Columbus, Ohio, master of the Na-

tional Grange, and G. R. Lewis, lec-

turer of the Ohio State Grange.



The outstanding point in the address

; . of A. B. Cook, the Michigan state mas-

rter, was the thought that agriculture

is generally underpaid and that farm-

ers are competing with each other. He

, believes that the grange should take

what steps it can to determine the

f‘i price scales in farm products neces-

sary for the farmer to meet his issues

”4 without subsidies not given others. He

. urged the appointment of an economic

committee for this purpose.



Mr. Cook said that the contract for

‘ the publication of the state grange

paper expired last June, and that the

August and September issues were

eliminated. He favored the discontin-

a; uance of this publication and, instead

lements giving state news would be

sued as needed.



Mr. Cook’s report showed that six

subordinate granges have been organ-

ized, fourteen reorganized, and twelve

uvenile granges formed during the

past year.



The report of the treasurer showed

a decrease in the volume of grange

value of farm products has increased

Exactly, that‘s the whole point. In

this highly complex industrial age we.

have allowed an inefficient and de-





structive system of taxation to become'

. firmly~ rooted in American life.





So far

as state and local systems go, it com-

pletely violates the'axiom that taxes

should be levied according to ability

to pay, the basis on which any equita-

ble taxation system must rest.



We might as well face the question

squarely, fox taxation is the greatest

grange on obligation only. This is no

excuse for Michigan to do the same,

and the master urged that the impres-

sive and formal ceremony be used in

each case.





The treasurer's report showed a cash-7





balance of $3,215.38. The total receipts

from dues and‘ memberships were 317,-

857.12, of which $14,641.74 was expend-

ed. The grange has a reserve of $38,-

750 invested. Six years ago this was

$50,000, which has been drawn upon at

various times to meet... extraordinary

expenses.



The secretary’s report showed a to-

tal of 615 granges in the state, with a

The master of the National Grange,

Mr. L. J. Tabor, was given a real ova-

tion. ’He told' of the need of a pros-

perous business/background for agri-

culture, the need of well-paid farm la-

The solution'of the problem for the

In the final sessions of this conven-

tion, the grange passed resolutions

which indicate its stand on various

public matters.





One of the most prominent resolur

tions showed a strong disapproval of

Governor Greesbeck’s proposal to can-

cel the state’s obligations of $10,000,-

000 to the counties for state highway

awards.





The convention also favored” the

abolition of the use of the primary

system in the election of its officers:

but the resolution was not effective,

because it lacked thirteen votes of re-

ceiving the required two-thirds vote

for a constitutional amendment.



One resolution favored asking the

legislature to make driving an auto-

mobile whiie drunk a felony; but the

idea of revoking the drunken driver’s

license lost out, because, after one

offense, a driver might reform.





The grange favored the tightening





of the liquor laws, and expressed the

hope that educational campaigns be

started to create a more widespread

respect for all laws. It passed reso-

lutions favorable to the pay-as-you-go

road-building policy; a graduated per-

sonal income tax; uniform non- resi-

dent fishing licenses; the establiSh‘

ment of bounties for wolves, coyotes

and other predatory animals infesting

the northern counties of the state; the

lakes-to—seas waterway; uniform trafiic

code, and lower freight rates on agri-

cultural products. , ,

for the Ohio State Farm Bureau, act-

ing as Judge of the show, made some





very timely suggestions, the most pert-

£inent of which was the telly of Mich-





igan potato growers permitting their

Ohio and Pennsylvania neighbors to

buy all their certified seed while they

struggle along without certified seed,

and with certain decreased yields.

“Supply, yourself first ” he said, “be-





cause you are competing~w1th these





Ohio growers en the same markets,

and you cannot do so to advantage

unless you start with as good seed as

they do.”



The state department 01" agriculture

had their usual attractive exhibit,

more interesting, instructive, and elab-

orate than ever. Considerable spage





 





 





ILAGE, balanced rations with corn,



better cultural methods, are the factors which have moved the corn belt



northward. This was depicted in last year’s exhibit by Michigan at the



International Grain and Hay Show at Chicago. With the advent of the corn



borer, it may be that a. still greater use of land in diversified agricultural



1 sections will need to be devoted to corn to balance up our national produc-

come, into their own on the big mar-

kets as “the quality spud."



Although all the classes were attrac-

tive, and stimulated keen cempetition,

,. «, the two outstanding classes were the

Grand Rapids Press Baking Potato

.r‘ Class, and the State Department’s

' f ‘ Grading Class. There were forty-eight

/ :' entries in the former, sent in from all



1 over the state. A prominent potato

{ grower from the Upper Peninsula, Mr.

K John DeLongchamp, of Champion, took

.' ' first honors in this classwith an entry

? - of Green Mountains. Three 'out of the

first four prizes were won by this same

variety of potatoes. The steward of

the Pantlind Hotel, acting as judge,

i i said that this test confirmed his preju—

l dices in'favor of the Green Mountains

I for baking potatoes. “We have never

‘ used Idaho baking potatoes, because

we wished to play fair with the Michi-‘

gan farmer, and we certainly will nev-

er have cause to change if our farmers

will give us potatoes like these,” he

1 said.



The large majority of the prizes

' were divided between Mr. E. W. Lin-

coln, vice-president of the show, and

Mr. John DeLongchamp, of Champion,

the latter taking sweepstakes on his

peek of Green Mountains. Andrew

Voss, of Luther, took first in the Rural

Russet peck class. Over ninety per

cent of the entries were made by



/ , growers from Montcalm county.’



A very interesting program was pre—

sented throughout-the show; United

States Senator Capper made an elo-

, quent address,.afllrming and re-aflirm—

‘ ing that agriculture was only asking

‘ . for a Square deal—nothing more and



nothing less. He did not encourage



‘ , looking toward legislation to cure all

' *7 ’the farmer’s ills, inasinuch’ as most of

them were economic. He pointed out



that almost all or the big industries

evidence of this menace with a great

The West Michigan Potato Show is

an institution worth preserving and

continuing. FolloWing in the lead of

the Top 0’ Michigan Potato and Apple

Show, and coincident with the Thumb

district shows ‘Will, no doubt, bring

part in putting quality back into Mich-

igan potatoes, and confidence into the

hearts of ~the growers. These three

district shows will no doubt bring

about.a state potato show at the col-

lege this winter, that will be worth

going hundred of miles to see.



The following were the prize Win-

ners at Greenville: In the certified

seed classes, E. W. Lincoln, of Green-

ville, took first, second, fifth, sixth and

tenth honors. Other awards were

made as follows: Third, Andrew Voss,

of Luther; fourth, John DeLong-

champs, of Champion; seventh, Harry

T. Hansen, of Edmore; eighth, W.

Wiltse, of Morley; ninth, F. W. John-

son, of Morley.





The Rural Russet table stock class

ranked next to the Press Baking po-

tato contest in number of entries. The

first five awards were made to Andrew

Voss, of Luther; E. W. Lincoln, of

Greenville; Lee Sneathen, of Charle-

' These tests were con—

flocks into three di.visions

ond fed on Ful-O-Pep

The pens fed on Ful-O-

showed such a marked





mine our course in add-

ing Cod Liver Meal to

Ful-O-Pep Egg Mash.

Every bag of Ful-O-Pep

Egg Mash is now tnade '

with this vital element.





Effect on the Hens





Flocks fed on Ful-O-Pep

Egg Mash with Cod

Liver Meal show a gen-

eral condition of robust

health, bright red combs,

soft skin, smooth feath-

ers —and a marked re-

sistance to most poultry

.troubles. The hen’s egg

production naturally is

more even and sustained

over'a longer period and

consequently greater.





1 Effect on the Eggs





" Flocks fed on Ful-O-

Pep containing Cod

Liver Meal not only

average more eggs,

but larger eggs—be—

cause of the extremely

small percentageof un-





dersized eggs. Also, the





in much smoother,

stronger- shelled eggs—

greatly reducing loss

from breakage. Further,





the sunlightelement is '





transmitted to the egg it—





" self, giving at all seasons





very much the same

flavOr and freshness as

springtime eggs — as well

as the higher vitamin

content and more con-

stant nutritive Value. A

much better food for

growing children.





Effect on the Chicks





In addition to the sun-

light factor in Cod Liver

Meal, something is trans-

mitted which results in

more hatchable eggs,

larger batches and

more vigorous

chicks. Also the danger

of white diarrhea and

many other poultry

troubles is greatly re-

duced. .





 





‘ Eightkways to greater poultry profits through this new and vitalelement—(I) More eggs through the

year, and ‘at the seasons when they bring the highest prices, (1) Better average of large eggs. Minimized

. loss from undersized eggs. (3) Strenger shells. Less loss from breakage. (4) Healthy flocks. High resist-

ancegto .rOup, white diarrhea, Chicken pox and tuberculosis. (5) Low mortality of both grown birds

and chicks. (6) More hatchable eggs, larger hatches. (7) Strong, vigorous chicks that live and grow.

- (8), Better sale of eggs because of year—round springtime freshness, palatability and high food value.

Western Crop Large.



In the northwest, the crop is report-

ed to be the largest on record. Wash-

ington, which usually produces about

one-fourth of the commercial crop, re-

ports a yield of 8,160,000 barrels, or

twenty-three per cent above last year’s

harvest. Idaho, with 1,433,000 barrels

in prospect, shows a 100 per cent in-

crease, while Oregon expects 1,382,000

barrels, compared with 1,750,000 last

year. Up to October 24, carlot ship-

ments of apples from the western

group of states, exclusive of California,

have been 5,690 cars larger than in

the corresponding time last season.

The Hood River district of Oregon will

probably market only half as many

apples as last season, when an unusu-

ally large crop was harvested. Apple

shipments from the northwest have

probably reached their peak, as the

heaviest movement usually occurs

around the middle of October. Over

a third of the crop has already been

disposed of, with Jonathans well out

of the way, and the marketing of the

Delicious crop is progressing rapidly.

Early Shipments Good.





Shipments of apples from the east-

ern states also have been boosted by

the early season to 1,186 cars more

than to the" corresponding time last

year, in spite of a smaller total pro-

duction. The Virginias, which always

export a considerable quantity of ap—

ples, had only about half as many as

a. year ago, and the crop has been sold

out early at prices netting fully as

much as the domestic market. The

New York apple crop is of exceptional

quality, and it is believed that seven-

ty-five per. cent of the commercial

Baldwin crop may grade A, compared

with only forty-six per cent last year.

The season opened with prices low-

er, than last year, but the market has

The foreign 'market outlook for





American apples is as good as, if not ;





better than, that of last fall, and our

exporters may again ship 15,000 car-

loads of apples to other count 8.



Exports during the past twO seasons

have taken about fifteen per cent of

the carlot shipments. ‘This foreign

trade is chiefly with the United King-

dom and continental Europe. Al-

though the English crop is larger and

of better quality than that of a year

ago, it is scarcely over half a full crop,

and much of the production is of cock-

ing varieties.



The continental apple crop is said to

be very light, and the failure of the

pear crop all over central and northern

Europe will increase the demand for

apples. Canadian prospects do not ap-

proach last year, so that exports from

that country should not offer serious

competition to United States fruit

abroad. The Canadian commercial

crop is estimated at 2,600,001) barrels,

which is less than ten per cent of the

domestic crop which finds its way into

the highways of commerce.





 





‘MANURE THE GARDEN, FOR IT

PAYS. _\ -





 





NEIGHBORS all wonder at a. good,





garden. They often ask:

isn’t our garden as good?”

secret of having’ a good garden is to

make a heavy application of good sta-

ble manure. This manure may be apy

plied any time this winter. It should

be as free from weed-seed as it is pos-

sible to get. ,A load or two will not

be one bit too much towapply to the

garden, even though it is less than a

half acre.





Stable manure furnishes several im-

portant essential elements that are

necessary for the plant-growth. Be—

sides the food for plants, and humus

material added to the ground by the

application of manure, there is the ad-

ditional crop of beneficial bacteria.

These little plants are necessary for

other plant-growths. They decompose,

tear down, and make the food in the

soil available for the larger plants.



If one will realize that stable ma.-

nure is rich in nitrogen and contains

large amounts of potash, but is low in

phosphoric. acid, he will readily un-

derstand that fifty per cent of acid

phosphate applied for every ton of

stable manure applied, will return high

dividends in an increased crop produc-

boom times with the hope that $5,000;

000 worth of property would be sold

About $1,500,000 was disposed of, but

now practically all of it has gone to

the city for taxes. Someone told us

that, because of this boom, the city

had about forty per cent of its land

area on its hands.



The natural gas is favorable for in-

dustry in Moose Jaw. It is also good

for heating homes in ‘this rigid climate.

Here we went through the flour mills,

our host being its manager, and learn-

ed why it cost so much to make flour.

The processes that wheat has to" go

through before it becomes fine white

flour are intricate. Our host admitted

that whole wheat flour could be made

very much cheaper, but that nobody

wanted it. It occurred to us that we

are denaturing wheat, taking the heart

right out of it, and thereby getting an

inferior food just for the sake of ap-

peai'ance. Future generations will rid-

icule our use of white flour as an ex-

travagant and unhealthful food. , '



At Moose Jaw we were told'that

farmers came ten miles or so to town

for water each day. The well water

there has alkali in it, so, for them-

selves and their stock, the water is

hauled from town, a rather unpleasant

task in the winter, when the mercury

is at fortytfive degrees beldw.

There is no question of greater im-

portance to the American people at

the present time, than that of the fu-

ture food supply. While there is small

likelihood that people of this country

will go hungry because of any serious

lack of food in the near future, yet it

may be recalled that this extremity

exists in various parts of the world.

Dr. E. D. Ball, a statistician of the-

United States Department of Agricul-

ture, said, “There is not enough food

in the world at present to provide for

the inhabitants. If buying power could

be restored tomorrow, the surpluses

would almost instantly disappear."

While some seem to imagine the coun-

[try is already producing too much,

«and that the limitation of certain crops

would be a wise policy, yet this appar-

ent surplus is doubtless due largely to

the breaking down of foreign markets;

and in a few years, under present ten-

dencies, the‘ home demand will absorb

all of such surpluses. In sixty years,

with the present increase in popula—

tion, the number will double, and in-

stead of 110, 000, 000 there will be 220,-

000,000 mouths to feed. -In the expe-

rience 6f the generation now here, just

this is likely to happen. With the

farmers of the country decreasing in

number, and with the disparity in con.

ditions between the farm and other

lines of industry drawing all of the

young and vigorous blood away from

the farms, how are all of these on-

coming milliong to be fed? -



We feel this. is largely the farmer’s

problem—one that cannot longer be

overlooked. Better credit facilities





 





might help some, but somebody has

wisely said that what farmers need

are not better facilities for getting

into debt, but better facilities for get-

ting out of debt. Improvement can be

made in matters of transportation,





. both in the way of means and rate, all





of which will» help. But the one thing;

needful is the establishment of a par-i

ityof conditions between farming and

other lines of employment. This is

something which the government can

influence but very slightly and had

farming as» a Whole; also we note that

all other lines of business. are putting

their prices up, while the farmer’s in-

coming dollars fail to buy a like

amount of- other articles.



The farm bureau is now the best

hope for organizing agriculture that

has ever come to America Its larger

problems are vital to all farmers. but

too many still fail to see them. Can

there be longer any doubt that organ-

ization is one of our greatest needs?

In a country of organized industries,

how can the farmer ever hope to hold





up his end until his organization can‘





be made to work as it should?



In our locality, we have’ a strong

farm bureau elevator, and a commu~

nity organization that meets monthly

to make a study of better farm living.

We are doing our best to cooperate in

every way with the college, the farm

bureau, and all other forces that help

to better farm conditions.



Now, we wonder if farm people

could have had more training in essen-

tials of farm business, would farmers

be leaving the farms for other lines of

business that promise a living wage?

well paid. The dictatorial powers of

the state educational department were

opposed by a resolution favoring the

repeal of the 1919 law permitting the

state department to supervise expendi-

tures.





Differences of opinion on the three-

cent gasoline tax, and on the holding

of a constitutional convention as a

means of revising the state tax laws,

caused these two resolutions to. be

tabled. A resolution favoring the

close cooperation of the state labor

organizations and the grange, was vot-

ed down, because it was thought that

the points of view of labor and the

farmers are too far apart on many is-

sues to permit them “to" lie in the

same bed.”



N. P. Hull, of Lansing, and A. W.

Thompson, of Iron Mountain, were re-

elected members of the executive com-

mittee, James Helme was re—elected,

but refused to serve because, he said,

the committee never did anything.

Therefore, Holloy Hubbell, of Bay

City, was elected to succeed him. T.

E. Niles, steward for the grange for

twenty—five years, tendered his resig—

nation, to take effect immediately.



Miss Jennie Buell established anat-

tendance record when she attended

her fortieth consecutive state gather-

There are forty-five standard build-

ings, nineteen good, while twelve are

rated as poor.





Of the total number of teachers em-

ployed, fourteen have life certificates;

eighteen have limited certificates. The

average teaching experience of these

teachers. is 1. 6 years. Seventeen have

had experience on the farm, although

most of them are expected to teach

agriculture in the school course some-

where. The classes vary‘ from three

to forty-four in number. Each teacher

is likely to conduct thirty recitations

per day. .-



To reach one of the outlying schools

of the county, the commissioner has to

travel a total distance of 220 miles.

This will afford some idea of the prob-

lem of conducting rural schools in the

north country.





FARMERS' MARKETS GAIN FAVOR.





 





IRONWOOD is conducting a farmers'



produce market, and the results are

reported to be very gratifying. Artié

cles, brought to the market include:

potatoes, apples, butter, poultry, beet,





vegetables.



It is expected that similar markets

will also be established at Bessemer

and Wakefield.

Here is a, tire that has a flat tread. Every'tread block comes

in contact with the road, giving a sure gripping surface that

is far greater than that of a round tread.



The tread blocks themselves are scientifically designed for

maximum traction and protection against skidding.



And that is not the only advantage of this flat “Low—

Pressure Tread. ”



It permits the U. S. Royal Balloon to be operated at true

low air pressures without danger of early, uneven or dis—~ .

figuring tread wear. ‘



You get all the comfort that a balloon tire is supposed to ‘

give.

becomes an allvseason pleasure.



The patented Latex—treated Web Cord construction of -U. S.

continuous flexing of a balloon tire for a long period of service.

the value of stretching out on a lounge

rest before facing the duties of the

Persons who are convalescing from





very particular consideration to these

two more. in bed may steady the heart

and put it in better shape to carry the

extra burden that comes as soon as

the patient becomes active. I am con—

vinced that a large share of the cases

of “heart failure” that come in middle

life are the direct sequel of some ill-

ness of childhood from which the'little

patient was allowed to go back to play

or school just as soon as he felt like

it. A day or two longer in bed would

I am five feet and weigh 150 pounds.

Can you tell me.how to reduce by a





.method that is pot injurious to the

A cousin who has tuberculosis wants

to come and board with us. Is.it safe?

My little girl is very delicate, , and

twice has had pneumonia—Anxious

Mother. .





I believe it quite possible to take

care of such a patient without harm

to anyone, if he is careful in the dis-

position of his sputum. But your little

girl is evidently very susceptible, so

you are in an unusual position. ere-

fore, I am inclined to advise against it.

him circumsized. Is it likely to do

It is worth the attempt; In boys

with a long, tight foreskin, the opera—

tion should always be done, whether

it almost always cures the defect. I

COST OF INSULIN. “





 





Can you tell me how much Insulin,

costs?—E. C.





Insulin is sold only to the medical

profession. Any doctor in good stand-

ing can order it for you. There is ,a

standard price, but it varies from

time to time, and depends somewhat

upon how many units are purchased.





 





HAS LUMP ON HEAD:





 





Have had a small hard lump on the

top of my head for some time. Lately

it has been running a small amount

of pus, or yellow matter, perhaps not

more than a few drops daily. It is

not painful, do not have headaches,

am thirty years old, and apparently

in good health. Do you think this

growth is the beginning of anything

malignant, such as cancer. If not,

what is the cause, and would you ad-

vise treatment?——Farmer’s Wife.



I think this is nothing more than a

wen. Better have it removed by a

doctor. He can do it by injecting a

local anesthetic without pain to you,

and the cost should not exceed ten

dollars.





 





EARS RING.





 





I have a ringing in my ears, espe-

cially the right one. What can I do

for this? I get awful weak in my

kneesr—F. L. S. .





If the ringing in the ears, and weak-

ness of the knees are due to a run-

down condition, the trouble may be

anemia—impoverished blood. That in—

dicates a need for nourishing food,

rest, and a general building up. Usu-

ally, ringing in the ears indicatesmidr

' As soon as we were out of Windsor,

(I began to look for the corn borei’s

work, and, to be sure, I did not have

to look very long before I noticed that

stalks in the corn field that we were

passing did not have anyvtassels; also,

that stalks that were brokerr over be-

low the ears were quite numerous.

After about an hour’s drivewe came

to a. stop and visited our first infested

field of corn, and surely he was there.

. I thought, as I went over the field, that

surely the corn borer had gone his

limit right there, (for I thought that

_ they could not destroy an entire field),

but this was not true, as each field

. that we stopped at,gor drove by, show-

ed its work more plainly'than the one

preceding it. It kept on this way

until about 4:00 p. m., "when we stop-

ped and went into a field, and surely

_ looked like when the borer'had finish-

ed his work. We even found them in

Canada thistle roots two inches below

the ground'line. This field had not

been neglected, not even by the borer,

but had been kept free of weeds. 1

shall never forget how that field looked

—a complete loss. '



The farmers of Michigan who live

where this pest has not yet’arrived,

will never realize how lucky they are,

until itr is too late. -





The Michigan State College and the

department of agriculture are fully

aware of the situation, and are ready

to do all that is possible to check the

invasion “of the corn-borer, but they

cannot do it alone, and so I would like



to say to the farmers of “Michigan:

let’s cooperate 100 per cent and see if

we cannbt . escape the financial loss

which our Canadian friends have thus

suffered. ’





 





Paul C. Clement, Britten.



In reply to your letter will say that

after making this inspection trip

through the intested‘llelds of Ontario,

I cannot help but feel that the very

existence of our agriculture in Michi-

gan and bordering states, is at stake;

and only through the cooperation of

every farmer and farm organization,

and those interested in farming, direct-

ly or indirectly, with the authorities

in charge, can we expect to control

this menace, for Michigan without

corn would be like the Great Lakes

without water.



(It is not'our intention in publish-

ing these letters, to create a panicky

condition in “the minds of our farmers.

lightful perfume. It was just the time



{of year .for a man to fall in love—but

: . Dr. John Thayer had already done

. that, and he had done it very “ear-



‘nestly. .



There was a sharp rap at his door

and he stopped his whistling and call-

ed in a gladsome voice, “Come in!”



_The door swung open and Jackson

,;- Byerly, a middle-aged attorney who had

offices across the hallway, entered the

.room. Byerly was a big man, dark



eyed, with black hair and heavy black

moustaches. Although they had been

ofiice neighbors for twelve months, Dr.



Thayer had never gone beyond a com~

' men acquaintanceship with Byerly; the



attorney had an overbearing. authori-

tative manner that the young physi-

cian found hard to tolerate, even when

they met at the home of the woman

thev both loved almost to the point of

madness. For Byerly, too, had been



a welcome visitor at the home of the



Batesfords: he was well educated and



well read, and when he chose he could

assume a very engaging personality.



. “I came to see how much man there



is in you, Thayer,” snapped the vis-

itor, with gleaming eyes.





“I beg pardon, Byerly,” coolx7 replied

the doctor, “but I do not understand.

Your voice tells me you are not jok—

Iug: 9Will you be good enough to ex-

p am.”



The attorney closed the door behind

him and took a few steps t0ward Dr.

Thayer. '





“We both love the same woman,

Thayer,” he breathed with a bitter-

ness that was shaking him throughout.

“At least, I love her; your feeling for

her can be but little more than a pass-

ing admiration compared to mine. It

is very evident that there can be no

success for one of us until the other

is out of the way. Therefore, I hereby

challenge you to a duel, to end only

when one of us is out of the way!”



The doctor realized that Byerly was

desperately in earnest. He tried to

laugh the attorney out of his insane

desire to fight.



“Back to the middle ages, eh?” he

smiled. “No dueling for mine, Byerly.

It’s the silliest thing in the world.”



Byerly frowned harder and jerked

out his jaw. “So you’re not man

enough to fight!” he clipped.



“I’m man enough,” replied Dr. Thay-

er, “but I’m not fool enough. Let the

girl decide which of us she wants~

if either of us is so fortunate as to

meet with her requirements. I have

already proposed—I did it yesterday

afternoon—and she is to let me know

today. You propose, too, and let her

take her choice-if she wants either

of us.”



“I have already asked her,” said

Byerly sourly. “In fact, I’ve asked her

half a dozen times; and she laughs at

me very sweetly—and very tantaliz-

ingly! Thayer, I tell you one of us is

in the other’s way. Neither of us will

ever get her until the other-—”

on the Way!‘





 





 





Thayer was a man of strong charac-

ter, but he was also young, and he had

a young man’s standards of honor. The

maddened attorney’s second blow bat-

tered 'down some of his better judg-

ment. He went white, and his voice

trembled when he spoke.



“Yes,” .he said, with a dangerous

calmness, “now I will fight. But not

in the way you think. I am certainly

not going to ruin the rest of my life

by killing a yellow dog. I am the chal—

lenged party and I have the choice of

weapons and methods. This is how

we will fight, Byerly: We’ll take a

new pack of playing cards and cut

them, and the man who shows the low-

est card must go down to the street

and there shoot himself “with a revol-

ver. This will leave no stain on the

other fellow.” -



Byerly stepped back. He was disap-

pointed, for he was a splendid shot

with revolver or rifle. But Thayer

really had the choice of methods, as

he had said, and Byerly did not back

down.



“I have an unopened pack of cards

in my oflice,” he said; “I’ll get them.”



He faced about and disappeared. A

moment later he returned and placed

in the doctor’s hands that which he

had gone for. The seal was not brok-

en. With a tightening of his lips,

Thayer tore away the covering and

put the pack down on a small table.



Byerly stepped forward and 'cut

deep. He raised his hand slowly and





held up the queen of hearts. He smil-

ed triumphantly.



“Go to it, Thayer,” he said.



The doctor went to it. When he





turned the bottom card upward he

showed the king of spades. 7

“Tough luck for you, Byerly,” he

smiled; It suddenly seemed very ridic-

ulous to him. His anger cooled and

he took his enemy by the shoulders.

“Now lets’ forget all about it,” he“ said.

“Go to your office and go to work. I

don’t want you to shoot yourself.”

Hismagnanimity waivlost upon the

other. Byerly turned, ith no inten-

tion whatever of going to the street

and there killing himself,rand started

for his office. At the door he ran into

old Dr. Hadley, who had climbed the

.good in his power to do;





fact that Dr. Hadley was

closely, and with mu,

folded it and placed it‘in

coat pocket.



“Congratulate me, gentlemen!” he

exclaimed. "I am going to marry

Captain Batesford’s daughter.”



Old Dr. Hadley’s eyes widened. He

had always liked Thayer, and he had

never liked Byerly. Nevertheless, he

did congratulate Byerly, and so did

his brother physician...



“You have my best wishes,” quietly

and evenly said John Thayer. “And

she has them, too, that angel of heav-

en who has decided that she will bear

your name and not mine.”



The attorney thanked the other two

men and strode proudly out of the

room. When he had gone, old Dr.

Hadley frowned at Thayer.



“There’s something deucedly funny

about this,” declared Hadley.



The younger physician smiled wan-

ly. “Not so funny to me, I assure

you,” he said with a sadness in his

voxce.



Dr. Hadley walked slowly out and

closed the door softly behind him.

Thayer dropped heavily into a chair

and bent his head to his hands. The

mocking-birds and thrushes still sang

out of the overflowing fullness of their

hearts; the little brown swamp spar-

rows called sweetly across the nearby

reed-lined creek—v—but Thayer heard

none of it. It seemed to him that his

senses were numb; that he was an

inert bit of clay, throbbing but lifeless.

He had not realized how much he

loved Elizabeth Batesford until, in his

mind’s eye, he had seen her withdraw

beyond the threshold of that which

must forever be as another world to

him.



But he did not blame her in the

least. Except in his proposal of the

day before, there had been no vows.

Perhaps, he reasoned, he had taken

her kind and cordial manner too ser-

iously; he told himself that the fault

was all his own. Well, he wouldn’t

marry anybody. He would go along

his way through life, doing all the

he would

give himself to the helping of his fel- ‘

low man; he—

Under his breath Thayer murmured

Batesford went on, with his everlast-

ing courtesy. He liked Thayer. “Who

carried the news of the accident to

you ?” .



“Mr. Byerly, sir.”



“Ah, Byerly! «He was coming across





 

 

 





the veranda when it happened,” said -





the old southerner. .



“He appeared to be much worried,”

muttered Thayer.. “If Dr. Hadley has

no need of my assistance, I’ll find By-

erly and tell him that Miss Batesford

is better.” ,



“Thank you,” said Elizabeth’s father.



So Thayer went to the gate, mount-

ed his horse and rode back toward

the .heart of Eastover. On the way

he met Jackson Byerly.



“She’s better,” he smiled. “But I

wouldn’t call today if I were you.”



Byerly didn’t even thank him. By-

erly said not one word.



Dr. Thayer made his visits that day

as a man under the influence of some

strange, hypnotic drug. It was only.

with a great effort that he attended to

his duties properly, and he was glad.

that none of his patients were ser-

iously ill.’ He tried hard to blame

himself. He told himself over and Over

thatit was his vanity and not his

heart that had been wounded. But as

the long hours dragged by, he came

to know that he had no vanity; he

came to knowthat there was a vast

emptiness in his life.



Early the following morning Dr.

Hadley entered the younger physi-

cian’s office. His bearded face was

long and he twisted thoughtfully at his

gray moustaches as he spoke. ,



“Please call Byerly in here,” he re-

quested. _



Dr. John Thayer rose, wondering.

“What’s the matter?” ,



“I’ve got bad news ‘to tell, and I

don’t want to tell it tWIce where once

will serve,” said the old practitioner.



The man addressed stepped to the

hallway and to the attorney’s door. He

rapped sharply, and when Byerly an-

swered‘the summons he motioned him

to follow. Hadley was still standing,

still twisting at his gray moustaches,

when the two then entered the room.

Thayer put a hand on Hadley’s shoul-

der and asked to be told the unwel-

come tidings. l



The old doctor looked around, nod.

ded to Jackson Byerly, and faced back-

to Thayer.

The older man looked up weakly. All





 





   

 





 





 





the strength he had formerly shown,





was now nowhere in evidence. _



“Perhaps Hadley doesn’t know,

Thayer,” he muttered. “Perhaps Had-

ley is mistaken."



Thayer shook his head quickly. “Dr.

Hadley ’is one of the best physicians

in the state,” he replied. “I am sorry

I cannot offer you the crumb of com—

fort you wish.” . _



Byerly said no more. He believed

Thayer implicitly. Thayer quietly. left

the room.



That evening the old doctor called

upon Thayer and requested that he

take charge of Miss Batesford’scase.

With few words they walked in the

velvety early summer darkness to the

home of the young woman. The old

captain himself admitted them,_ and

they went directly to the patient’s

quarters. .



A shaded lamp turned low sat on a

little table across the room from-the

still, pale figure on the old-fashioned

canopied bed. Mrs. Batesford, who sat

at her daughter’s bedside, put a finger

against her lips when she saw the two

physicians enter. They understood;

the girl was sleeping. John Thayer

walked softly to the bedside and stood

there looking down upon the face of

the woman he loved, and it seemed

angelic to him.



She awoke as though he had called

to her to awake. Slowly the long lash-

es were lifted above the bright blue’

eyes; slowly a little smile came to her

beautiful lips. She raised her hand

slightly for him to take; he took it,

and he felt that he could never, never

let go.



“You are to be my doctor?”

breathed, in her soft, musical voice.



“Yes,” he told her, a little thickly.



She drew her brows. “Tell me," she

asked, “did he appear to be sorry?”



T er pu‘t‘her fine hand down re-

“Very, very sorry," he an-

swered readily. .



“Tell him that he may not see me

yet, but that he may write to me,"

murmured Miss Batesford. “And you

may bring the letters when you make

your daily visits. I think I’d like you

to read them to me, Dr. Thayer, since

I’m not to be permitted to read a. sin-

gle word of anything."



The young physician hit his lip hard.

Surely she did not know, she did not

realize, the weight of the thing she

was asking.



"I shall be pleased to do so," he

replied. And all the strength in him

was needed to keep emotion out of his

voice.



Half an hour later the doctors left.



“Thayer.” said the older m‘an, as

they walked homeward in the star.

light, “remember that she must not

become in the least excited. The key-

note is quietude and cheerfulness.

Please tell Byerly to put cheer in his

letters to her—tell him to write every

day to her, and tell him to make every

letter better than the last.- Pity she

took Byerly, Thayer—for I knew you

cared for her. You are by f r the

best man; but who can unders d the

hearts of these women? Who, indeed?"



Thayer made no reply. He felt that

there was no need of a reply. .



“‘You are her physician now. you

understand, and no more her lover,”

Hadley went on. “'DOn’t let her- use

He ve her the letter then, and

she hed it in her hands, her eyes

closed, for a long and silent minute.

She seemed entirely oblivious to the

pain she was causing him. But,

thought Thayer, as Dr. Hadley had

said—who could understand the hearts

of these women! However, he told

himself, she had enough troubles of

her own to think about without consid-

ering his peace of mind. K



So, for a week John Thayer went

through that gauntlet of fire—and the

last letter he read was as hard for him

as the first had been. He could never

get accustomed to it, and he knew it.



But on the eighth day he went with-

out a letter. To his great relief, old

Hadley was sitting at the young wom-

an’s bedside. .



The patient looked up, smiled sweet-

ly in ’the semi-darkness, and asked

ablout the expected missive from By-

er y.



"‘In a moment,” said Thayer, trying

to return her smile. “If you’ll pardon

me, I must speak to Dr. Hadley con-

Wlll you

can}: to thehallway with me, doctor?”



T 6 two physicians left the room.

Then Thayer took his friend by the

labels and said, in a low and worried

one:





ins.





“I have called you out to ask your“





advice. Jackson Byerly doesn’t want

to be burdened with a wife who is

helpless—he is gone—went last night,

and he is going to South America!

Shall I forge letters to her until she is

better able to bear her disappoint-

ment?”



The old doctor caught Thayer by the

shoulders with a strength that Thayer

had not dreamed was in him.



“Forge nothing!” he whispered,

quickly. “I thought so! I thought

50!, John Thayer. she didn’t accept

Byerly because she liked him better

than you. Now, don’t ask any ques-

tions, but go right in there and tell

her he’s gone—she won’t be sorry, I

promise you!” ‘ ' ‘



In another moment Thayer was at

Elizabeth Batesferd's bedside, and he

was on his knees. He had taken Dr.

Hadley at his word. In a voice that

had a queer ring to it, he told her

about Byerly.



And she smiled a glorious smile!

Then he whispered to her this: “I

want you to marry me!” ~



“Would you want a wife who would

always be helpless ?" whispered Eliza-

beth Batesford, with softly glowing

eyes. “Wouldn’t you grow tired of

such an endless burden?”





Her voice broke at the last, and she

turned her face away. Dr. John‘Thayer

put his arms around her and drew her

golden head to his breast; it was his

answer, and it made a finer and more

beautiful answerthan any words could

have made. Then there came revela-

tions that almost took Thayer’s breath

away.



“Listen, Jack, and forgive us when

I've told you everything, dear boy,”

said Elizabeth. “Dr. Hadley knew that

Jackson Byerly hated you, and he fear-

ed for you—Byerly has fought one

duel and killed his man, already. It

is in Byerly's blood to kill. Dr. Hadley

came to me on- the morning of my

accident and begged me to accept one

do it, at the first opportunity. I loved

you, only you, Jack, but you were a

A STORY ABOUT FORD ECONOMY





RIVING around with a loose Wheel on your



wagon is like putting “cheap” oil in your

Ford. The inevitable breakdown comes sooner

or later, while the price of preventing trouble

is so small that the risk isn’t worth it!



A year’s supply of“chcap” oilyfor your Ford

will scarcely be $3.00 less than the same num-

bcr of quarts of Gargoyle Mobiloil “E.” But

the “cheap oil results” may cost you many

dollars in repairs, in prematurely-worn bearings,

pistons, piston rings, in excessive carbon and

fouled spark plugs, in lost power and riding

comfort. Inferior or incorrect oil also brings

increased oil and gas consumption to add to

your cost of operation.



That is Why so many thousands of farmers

consider it economical to pay a few cents more

per gallon for Mobiloil “E.” Price per quart .

is no accurate basis for figuring costs. Price per

mile is! Qn that basis, Gargoyle Mobiloil “E”

is the cheapest oil you can buy. It will give

you all the economy, power and smooth opera-

tion, the satisfaction and freedom from repairs

and expense that the Ford Motor Company

build into every car they make.



For the differential ofyour Ford car use Gar—

goyle Mobiloil “C C” or Mobilubricant as speci-

fied in the Chart ochcommcndations. For your

Fordson tractor use Gargoyle Mobiloil “BB” in

summer and Gargoyle Mobiloil “A” in winter.

and placed in the worst prison in the"

his cheeks hollow, his form worn to a

jailer, beating a tom tom, selects a

Adoniram Judson, Christian, American,

not lack successors.



Paul went up to Jerusalem, for the

had been there only a few days when

Jews who had come from Asia Minor

men of Israel! Here is the man who

stand that Lovejoy'had been’ a fanatic

and a fool, else he wouldnot haVe met

with death. The purpose of the meet-

ing seemed to be thwarted, when

someone whispered to a young lawyer

named Wendell Phillips, to reply.

Mounting the platform, he uttered

words which have made him immortal,

and which brought him forward as the

greatest agitator of his day in‘ the

cause of abolition. “When,” said he,

“I heard the gentleman lay down prin-

ciples which placed the rioters, incen-

diaries and murderers of Alton side





by side with Otis and Hancock, with ‘





Quincy and Adams, I thought these

pictured lips (indicating the portraits

on the wall), would have broken into

voice torrebuke the recreant American,“





   





 





the slanderer of the dead.” It is rated

as one of three \of the greatestl

speeches ever made in America. Com-

pare Paul’s speeches in Chapters XXII ,

and XXVI, and he does not pale. He'

holds his own.





What was it that gave him suchf

mastery, aside from intellectual quali-

ties? He might have had brains, and!

yet not have made any such impres-

sion as he did. One factor would bei

a clear conscience. He knew that he

had done right. Said Sir Galahad,



‘My good blade carves the casques of



men 1



My tough lance thrusteth sure, 3



My strength is as the strength of ten,

Because my heart is pure.”





“The wicked flee when no man pur-

sueth, but the righteous are bold as a

lion ” “One shall chase a thousand, l

and two shall put ten thousand to'

mgr...” I



More than that, Paul had given his1

life to God, had he not? He had sur-l

rendered it to Christ. He felt that he

was being led from one point to an-

other, as “he went along. If his por-‘

tion was converts today, ill treatment

tomorrow, it was the Lord’s doing.

This gave him a mighty sWeep of con-

viction. Such a man has more pei-i

suasiveness than a. hundred men with l

mere opinions. Still further, he ‘was





 





ready to‘stake everything on the prop- 1'





osition that this Jesus whom he taught 3,

was the promised Messiah. To thatl

he would give his dying breath, his last g

drop of blood. Give such a man a!

command of language, a good voice,!

and half a chance, and he will makel

you believe in spite of yourself.





No, he’ won’t either. Read versesj

21,22: “But: he said to me, ‘Go; I will i

send you .afar to the Gentiles. ’Tillg

he had said that, they had listened to

him. But at that they shouted, ‘Away,

with such a creature from the earth’!” ,

Even the sublimest eloquence, and Lhe.

holiest conviction, can not ,uproot hate

and prejudice. The heavenly messen-

ger will not force the door of the

heart. It must be opened from within.

an adorable little poke shape. The

edge was bound with gold ribbon, and

gold and crimson flowers were fashion-

velvet. The flowers were sewed flat

on the hat, so as to give a tailored ef-

An Inexpensive Luncheon Set.

A resourceful housewife decided to

use some of her spare time in making

. an attractive luncheon set. She pro-

cured yellow and white checked ging-

ham. Out of this, she made two run-

ners to use across each other on the

dining-room table of the cottage home.

She also made a dozen napkins and

several doilies. Some of the latter

were oval to cover the asbestos mats.

The edges were buttonholed and‘scal-

‘ioped in black, and a simple design in

cross-stitch in black, pink, and blue

decorated each piece. .»

To complete the set, she purchased

a. can of black paint and a small brush.

Two old, silver candlesticks from

which the paint wasworn, were paint-

ed .black, and fitted with yellow wax

candles. Two small ash trays with

advertising on the bottom, were paint-

-_ ed black, and one used for ayellow

‘ - andwhite marmalade jar, and the oth-

enters dish for pickles or. Jelly, An

aid-fashioned footed white crockery

and: :which 'th not poet; used for.”





 





With very little "





years, was painted black, and used for



a fruit compote for the middle. of the



table. Thus a yellow and ’blacklunch-

"eon set was. provided at small- cost.

Rejuvenating a Beaded Bag. _



A beaded bag, beautifully executed,



but with a worn top, was about to be





discarded. A resourceful visitor said, ‘





“Give it to me, and I’ll’ bring it back

to you in a few days.” ‘ _ ‘

When she brought it back, it was a

beautiful accessory which delighted its

former OWner. ,The beaded part'had

been removed fTom its frame, and used

asthe bottom half of a. handbag, with





a corded silk top .of‘rich black. The





top was mounted on an imitation tor-

toise shell frame, and on the black silk

part ofthe bag was the beaded mon-

ogram of the/owner, donein rather





small size, and in simple style. L'The'





bag was now ready for dress-up wear.

cards that brought 500 rural wom-

en to Michigan State College the last

Friday in October, to be present at the

first annual State Rally Day for local

leaders in Home Economics Extension

work. Some of these women traveled

more than 200 miles by auto, to attend

this get-together.





That the rural home managers are

wide-awake to their job of raising the

standard of living in their respective

homes and communities, was evinced

by the enthusiasm with which these

farm women discussed feeding and

clothing their families, and the mak-

ing of better homes among them-

selves, and the manner in which they

responded in the meeting.





Kitchen Stars Become Movie Stars.



After a tour of Michigan State Col-

lege’s beautiful campus, the women

grouped by their reSDective counties,

cheered before the motion picture cam-

era. At 12:30 they assembled at a

luncheon in the new Union Memorial

Building, and were entertained with

various selections by the ’Vas'sity

Quartette, and RtJ. Baldwin, Exten-

sion Director,.welcomed this, the larg-

est group of ,ruralowomen ever assem-

bled at th-e'Michigan State College.



Dean of Agriculture, R. S. Shaw, de-

scribed the sixteen rungs in the col-

lege’s ladder of progress: one of which

was the Home Economics Course, es-





tablisihed in 1895.

course was very much simpler than

the one now offered. UnselflshJocal

leadership had made it peasible to en-

roll 14,740 women in this Home Eco-

nomics Extension work, Dean Shaw

said. He expressed the hope that a

project for beautifying the surround

ings of the farm 5home be launched in

the future.



That the tools' to carry on efficient

home management are as essential as

thevtools‘ to carry on efficient farm

management, was the belief ‘of Miss

Florence Ward, of \the United States

Department of Agriculture, Washing-

ton, D. C., who had charge of all the

Home Economics Extension work dur-

ing the war. ‘ ‘





.“The farmers of this. country are

more dependent upon the 6,000,000

farm wives living on the farms, than

are the men in any other occupation,”

said Miss Ward. “Last year about

80,000 local leaders gave enough of

their. time to be equivalent to 16,000

people working full time for a. year,

to carry on this $19,000,000 enterprise.

The farm homes, more than any other

class of homes, express the democracy

of our country, for the majorityof our

great men have been farm boys.” ‘



Many New Projects Wanted.

BEET SUGAR SYRUP.





 





Mrs. M. C. P.——To make syrup from

sugar beets, wash and slice thin, the

thinner the slices, the better. Place

the sliced beets in a kettle and barely

cover with water. Bring to the sim-

mering point, or to about 180 degrees

F., and keep this temperature for

about an hour. Strain the hot syrupy

liquid through a cheesecloth. It is not

necessary to press the beets. A thin-

ner syrup may be made by cooking

them a second time, adding fresh wa-

ter. Boil the liquid down rapidly,



' skimming off any material that comes

to the top. Seal while hot, in scalded

jars. This ’syrup will be dark in color.

NE autumn afternoon two little



frogs hopped upon an old log



that had tumbled into the pond

in Frog Hollow.



“Come home very soon, or Jack

Frost will get you,” Old Mother Frog

had told them the very last thing be-

fore they hopped away. But when

these two little frogs hopped upon the

old log, the sun shone warmer than it

had in many days. ' .



“I’m not afraid of Jack Frost,” said

little Hippity Frog.



“Neither am I,” said little Hoppity

Frog.



“Let’s hunt for a fly,” said Hippity

Frog.



“That will be fun,” said Hoppity

Frog, so off they hopped. .



Now, these two little,frogs did not

know that since the cold days had

come there were no more flies for

them to catch. They just went hop-

ping here and hopping there, hunting

behind this leaf and that blade of

grass for a fly. But not a fly could

they find. .



“We must hurry home now," said

Hippity Frog. ,

So off the two little frogs hopped.

They hunted and hunted, but could not

find the way home. The sun went to

sleep behind the hills, and it was very

cold. ‘ _

"What will we do?", asked Hoppity

So they went to sleep under a big

leaf, but it was a very cold night, cold-

er than either of these little frogs

ever knew; . /



In the morning their little legs were

so stiff they could scarcely hop. At

last they reached the pond in.Frog

Hollow.



But, alas! They could not get in.

The very door to their house was clos-

ed. They could see every little twig

around their door. Hippity Frog and

Hoppity Frog bumped their heads

against this clear wall that kept them

from their home, but they could not

They were very cold and

hungry.



“Mother said Jack Frost would get

us if we didn’t hurry home," reminded

Hippity Frog. , -



“He did get us,” answered Hoppity

Frog. “He has closed our front door

with a coat .of ice and now we can’t

get in.” ' '



The two little frogs were very sad,

and thought for a long time oftwhat

they should do. , - .



“We’ll just have to make a winter

bed of our own,” said Hoppity Frog. .

Poultry Improvement Assmiatfion , ‘



For swe'sat years the ppultry men

of the state have: endeavored to or-

mice, but without success. However,

this meeting 8.11““ success. indicates

that organized poultry interest in

Michigan is now a fact.



As would be natural, the main fea-

tures of. this convention were in regand

to the greatest problems of the. ppm-

try industry, not so much from the





standpoint of the individual poultry ,





raiser as from the standpoint of the

industry as. a whole. The great prob:

lems are mostly those of disease and

honesty Many diseases can only be

combatted through organized eflort.

Honesty in the sale of hatching eggs,

baby chicks, and other stock,- is of

great importance, for the purchase of

stock from a dishonest poultryman has

often caused the failure of individual

poultry enterprises.

Conferences Valuable.

This convention was ably conducted





‘ by Dr. L. E. Hensley, the president of





the association. He opened the pro-

gram by having Prof. E.— G. Card tell

of the aims of the Michigan State Col-

lege poultry department. Professor





- Card left no doubt in the minds of





those present as to the college’s desire

to help the poultry industry of the

state in all its problems.



Professor Phelan, dean of the educa-

tional department, in his address of

welcome, told of Mr. Harriman’s (the

former great railroad magnate). three

great essentials of success. These

were conference, conference and con-

ference. In other words, Mr. Harri-

man knew the value of conferring on

any matter for which success is

sought . ~



Tell the Truth In Advertising,



A short, meaty talk on advertising

wasg-iven- by Glenn Campbell, of To-

ledo, who specializes in poultry adver-

tising. He said that honesty is essen-

tial to make advertising successful.

A knack of telling facts in a way that

the reader can see them in the same

light you see them, is also necessary.

Giving the incorrect impression that

one has three‘hundred—egg‘ hens as

mothers of all the stock or eggs sold,

is dishonest, and harmful. to the best

interests of the business. Tell the

truth. simply but Vividly, and keep on

telling it: tell it in small space often,

rather than in large space occasionally

-—these are the essentials of success-





- ful advertising.





Standardization Necessary.





Dr. M. A. Juli, senior poultryman of

the United States Department of Ag-

riculture, gave a very interesting talk

on the work the government is doing

along poultry lines. One of its chief

,objects is to make standardization ef-

fective in the poultry industry. Can-

ada‘has far surpassed us in this re-

spect, with the result that its export

trade has grown rapidly and its home

consumption of eggs is much greater

per capita than ours.



Cost of reproducing flocks should be

investigated. In some cases, the cost

has been found to be almost prohib-

itive, because of the ravages of dis~

ease. Dr. Juli has brought attention

to the fact that‘the federal and state

governments spend milli0ns for live





. stockinspéction, but not a ,cent for





poultry.





Banquet a Success. '

Mr C F; Hoffman, of the dairy de~





partment of Michigan State College,

toldsin an. intenesting way. of the ef-.





fees of microcode and; vitamin“ in the

rattan. In. oIdenl times. he said, cows





and 11an 111111 ensues: m 19:19,





 





' mutton Since “ISBNWB hare specialized





these tvio kinds of live stock, bringing

them, to heavy production under arti-

finial: condition In doing this. we

hawinterfered with. their natural 11w

tritional requirements.





At the banquet, which was furnished .





by an. incubator company, Dean Shaw,

of Michigan State- College, said that

the .United States had only six per

cent. of the populatien; but produced

twentysfour percent of the, food. Poul?

try. products produced were. " worth





$300,000.0.00,_more-than.the wheat crop. ,





Theinterest in poultryis indicated .by

the fact that there are more experi-

mental projects for poultry than for

any other animal.



, Cooperation Needed.



Dr. Juli told of the. Tower of Baby-

lon. and of the difficulty in getting- it

built; because of the lack of coopera-

tion.’, In- the United States, forty-eight

states are trying'to build a poultry in-

dustry without ecoperation. Twenty-

seven states already have ~twenty-sev-

en, different plans. Buyers in one state

want to know what certification and

accreditation mean in another.



Dr. Ward Giltner, dean of the veteri-

nary department, entertained the ban-

queters with humor, as well as mak-

ing a plea for the veterinarian. With

so many live stock diseases prevalent,

the veterinarian is more essential than

ever.





At the next morning’s session, Dr.

Juli again spoke of the importance of

uniform laws in the states for the poul-

try industry. He said that the govern—

ment wanted to do those things which

would bring about coordination be—

tween the states, andrthus make their





laws all the more effective. The hatch- '





ery men, he said, should exist to give

the poultry raiser, at a reasonable

price, superior quality chicks which

are free from disease. If-hatcheries

can not give better service than ex-

isted before, they are economically

worthless. Uniform effort is needed

to keep dishonest ones out of the bus-

iness, as the few dishonest‘men often

put the whole industry in a bad light.

Baby Chick Possibilities.



A representative of the Internation-

al Baby Chick Association said that

only fifteen per cent of the poultry

raisers are reached by hatcheries, and





that it requires 400,000,000 chicks an—





nually to replace the hens. Still, there

is an apparent over-production, be-

cause many people feel that they can

not buy with assurance.





Mr. W. L. Mailman, of the bacte-

riological department of the college,

told of baciliary white‘diarrhea and

its control. The chief cause of the

spread of this disease is the droppings.

So poultrymen should keep a screen

over the dropping board so as to keep

the hens from walking on the drop-

pihgs, and should use such feed hop-

pers and drinking fountains as would





be kept free from, contamination from





droppings.

Association' 5 Success Assured.



, Mr. L. L. Jones came from Indiana

to tell of the live poultry association

in that/state. (This association is do—

ing much good for the industry, as it

reaches the people with the farm

flocks. \



The Michigan Association ended a

very successful meeting, which indi-

cates that it will grow in usefulness

and influence, and, in so doing, it Will

become a big factor in improying poul-

try conditions in the» state.





Hermansville plans a poultry. show

for December 4-5. Mr. R. L. Gulliver,

poultry specialist of the Michigan State





College. visited demonstration flocks:

Dear Uncle Frank:





For five years I have read the-boys’

and ,girls’ page, and must say it 18 the

best part of your paper.



In. reading the boys’ comments 'on

girls, I can truly say I agree With

them in every, or almost every way.

I can truly thank God for a good moth-

er, who taught me the right way, and

the responsibility of housekeeping in

every line. When I was eleven years

old, my mother put me in a kitchen

throughout the summer and taught me

how to cook; to bake bread and pies;

to do everything in housekeeping; how

to take care of chickens, and, other

things that a good housekeeper should



now. .



My mother raised six children, and

there is not one in our whole family,

except the baby boy, that hasn’t been

taught to cook and keep house.



In all our family, there is not one

who uses rouge, paints, or powder. Not

one of us four girls has her hair bob-

bed, and we try to dress sensibly so

people can not say that we are Just

half dressed, ' - - ~



We owe it all to our dear mother

and father, and we‘fare thankful to be

classed as just common folks. I won-

a few people beyond the M. 0.

age who are interested in this

department, perhaps parents 0f

the ,children who are active in

our Merry Circle work. I be:

lieve that it would be a, gOOd

thing to let them have a. say

once in a while. .So, we are'go

ing to hold a Parents’ Week .

for that purpose. 4-

For‘this we would like letters

of criticism, of suggestion for

improvement in the Merry Cir-

cle, of discussion'on subjects

. found in these columns. ‘Any

kind of letters on anything per-

taining to this department, from

those- beyond the eighteen-year"

age limit will be welComed.

Humorous letters will ' make

things all the more interesting.

This Parents’ Week will -be

held during the week ending

1



By Helene Lett, Hudson, Michigan.



Suddenly I was aware that the still-

ness was broken by a sound, faint as

a sigh, delicate as the first breath of a

storm, pleasing to hear, but such a

sound as would make one’s- blood run

cold. I was sitting before the window

and looking out through the gathering





' dusk, I could see that a drizZly rain





was f ling. I had been reading the

thrilling story, “The Fall of the House

of Usher,” by Poe, and had evidently

fallen into a peaceful doze when the

peculiar sound aroused~me.



Again I heard it softly, but surely,

coming from a darkened corner of the





"room that my searching eyes could





not penetrate. The wierd tale that I

had been reading, and the effect of the

doze, had given me a feeling that I

was in a ghostly atmosphere, and I

turned my head about slowly, cautious~

ly, fearing lest the object of my un-

canny feeling give vent to'its ire and

do me injustice. Peering into the

darkness, I could see a dim outline of

white, and I crouched lower in my

chair, hoping to escape the starry eye

of the immortal being I thought it

to be. /



The third time I heard it, and, oh!

horrors! I heard another sOund—the

patter, patter, patter of its unearthly

feet, stalking across the floor directly

toward me. I was on the verge of put-

ting my feet in the chair when some-

thing cold was thrust against my bare

skin. I shrieked and clamored into

my chair.‘ and gazed despairin‘gly

about. I saw that the white figure op

posite me had notmoved, ahd then I

remembered. I had been told to be

sure not to forget to feed the. pet

your main grain ra’tion.‘ As you have

ensilage for‘a‘roughage, I would pre-

fer to feed cottonseed meal to oil meal,

and I would feed each cow ’two pounds

of cottonseed meal per day. Then I

would feed 'a sufficient amount of oth-

er grain ration so that each cow would

get a pound of grain for every three

pounds of milk which she produces a





, day. You ,can feed the. cows all of the





corn silage and hay that they will eat

up clean without waste. If you have

plenty of oats, you can add cats to the

corn-and-cob meal, bran and middlings,

making them one-fourth of this mix-

ture.





‘/





METHODS OF FEEDING.





 





Would like to have you tell me

something about cow feed. How would

you feed the following? We have en-

silage, bean pods, and fairly good_clo-

ver hay. For grain We grind our own

feed: grind about nine sacks of corn,

cob and all; seven sacks of oats, and

about one sack of, clean cull beans,

also feed some cottonseed meal. What

would make a good balanced ration

of this? Should the ensilage and hay

be weighed, also the grain? Does it

make %ny difference how it is fed?

We fee ensilage grain and corn while





the cows are out to water, at night—





about five o’clock. Then we milk

about fivethirty or six o’clock. . In the

morning we feed grain, then milk, and

feed ensilage and corn, then water.

Feedbean pods about ten o’clock, then

some hay about one.——L. E. B.



So far as retults are concerned, it

makes little difference whether you

feed grain first, or lay, or at what

time of day you feed, provided you

feed the same way each day. Cows,

like" the rest ofus, are creatures of

habit : when you get them in the habit

of getting their grain or hay at a par-

ticular time, they miss it if they do

not get it. Feed your different feeds

in rotation, the same every day and





, at the same time of day. That is all





there is to that. The same with giving

Don’t water one day in

the morning, and the ‘ next day at

night. Regularity keepsthem content-

ed and saves; feed.



For practical purposes, it is not nec-

essary to weigh the feed every time

,you feed.

ful test for economic production, this

would be necessary. But in ordinary

work, it is not. You can trust the

cow, in great measure, on this point.

Give her all she will eat up clean. But

you should feed roughage and concen-

trates in about the proportion of three

pounds of the former to one pound of

the latter, and again, a cow giving a

liberal fiow cf milk should have at

least two and a half pounds of digesti-

ble protein per thousand pounds live

weight. .511... ,



A good rule is to feed one pound of

grain for every three or four pounds

of milk produced, or one pound of

grsin for every pound otbuttenfat pro-

em all the grain they would eat,





:wotild lest very little roughage. But





this is not good for the cow, nor is it

economical. We want to get all we

can out of the roughage, for this is

cheaper. 0n the other hand, the cow

mustnot be compelled to get nearly

all her food from roughage.



Clover hay and bean straw are both

rich in protein, and, one pound of cot-

tonseed meal, with: the bean meal, is

suflicient for most cows. But if you





have large cows and heavy producers, ~





they may need more.



Your grain. mixture is good. Feed

the cottonseed meal separately, for

you can’t get. even ’distribution if you

attempt to mix with your other grain.



Follow the rule for feeding grain,

and then give each cow all the rough-

age they will clean up.





THE ART OF MILKING.





 





I have heard so much about this par-

ticular thing, that I have been induced

to write you concerning the following: I

Is there any certain good way to milk

a cow? Should you milk the hind ud—

der first, or the front one? Does strip-

ping have a tendency to dry a cow or

lessen the milk flow? What is the

best way to milk ?——W. R. W.





There certainly is a. right and a

wrong way to milk a cow. Many peo

ple never become good milkers be-

cause they are not taught properly in

the rst place, and because they do





not understand the true philosophy of

the milk flow.





As to milking the hind quarters of

the udder first, or the fore quarters,

this depends very much upon the ud-

der deVelopment. In some cows, the

hind teats are so close together that





it is well nigh impossible to milk them .





both at the same time, there not being

room for the hands to operate. Again,

many cows have the fore quarter and

hind quarter so close together that one

cannot operate the hands; and then

it becomes necessary to milk,‘for in-

stance, the left fore quarter and the

‘ight hind quarter at the same time.

I really do not think it makes very

much difference in this respect, so

long as you milk each cow the same

way every time. The cow, like our-

selves, is a creature of habit, and she

will yield her milk more freely if you

always operate in the same way. You

can operate differently with different

cows. That will make no difference,

but the individual cow should be milkv'

ed in the same way every time.

Science tells us that the milk is

practically all secreted during the

time of milking, and that manipulation

of the udder is essential to get full





, secretion. The milker should get into





the habit of reaching up onto the ud-

der with the fore finger and thumb,

and at the same time pressing up with

his hand to knead the udder, because

this stimulates secretion. _



What is known as stripping with the

thumb and fore finger is a bad prac-

tice, and ought not to be permitted.

After getting all the milk in the way

I have indicated, it is a good thing to

go over the udder with the right hand

grasping/ each test separately, and

with the left hand knead the udder in

such a manner as to encourage secre-

tion and at the same time force it

down into the teat. That is all the

stripping that should be permitted.



Milk the cow as rapidly as possible,

and continue the milking without ces-

sation until the cow is milked clean.

Another thing, get on friendly terms

with the cow. You cannot force a cow

to give milk. You have to coax it out

of her and, if the cow realizes that

you are her friend, she will do much

better.

‘leé Profit Doubled





Dairy experts are authority for the statement that in

the average dairy an increase of only 10% in the milk

yield will DOUBLE the net profit from the herd. It’s

the extra quarts that add so rapidly to your profit





margin.





—And 10% more milk is not beyond your reach. Many dairymen

constantly write us of this, and still greater, milk increases

through including Kow-Kare as a part of the regular winter





. ration.





Milk-Making Organs

Respond to Kow-Kare





During the long winter months what

a “grind” your cows encounter! Poor

exercise, poor air, little green food—

yet a full milk yield is needed to show

aprofit balance from your. winter’ 3

work.

I





Kow-Kare aids the cow to digest and

turn into milk the coarse, dry winter

(net. Heavy production without

danger of breakdown is what this

all-medicine invigorator makes pos-

sible. In actual returns on the invest—

ment no crop-fertilizer can equal the

effect of Kow- Kare on your winter

milk crop.





Vigorous Cow-Health a

Natural Result





Kow-Kare is used sparingly. It is

all-medicine; it assists, builds up and

adds vigor. While it is putting more

milk in the pail it is also building

new health and resistance into the

cow.

NOWLEDGE acquired from years

of managing a flock for wool ahd

mutton production, has obviously caus-

ed me to believe that fitting the ewes



for mating is a vital item in success-



ful flock management, and upon which,



in no limited measure, a high percent-



age of strong, robust lambs depends at



lambing time. Breeding ewes, that.

come to mating in the fall, depleted in



vitality, low in flesh, and over-worked



from suckling the previous lamb crop,



are ill-prepared for another year’s



work, and very likely to fail to mate



and bring forth a profitable lamb crop.



_ Ewes approaching the mating period



exhausted of physical strength and re-



source, cannot properly perform efli-



ciently additional responsibility; con-



sequently, disastrous results are likely



to follow later. Breeding ewes carry -

a» double burden~reproduction and

growing a. fleece of wool. Both func-

tions'draft heavily upon the physical

vitality of the ewes, and only through

proper care, which supplies certain es-

sential foods, can they meet the de—

mand upon their bodies.



As early as possible, after the lambs

are weaned, I begin fitting my ewes

for mating. No matter how good the

pasture has been during the summer

months, the ewes are sure to be rath-

Chorea.—I have a female dog about



six months old, and since the cold

,weather set in she acts as if cold,

shaking all the time. She has good

use of herself, will run as if nothing

ailed her, but when standing she is

inclined to fall forward, her legs seem-

ingly giving out. I feed her milk and

potatoes, but her appetite is not very

good. L‘. W: A., Fountain, Mich.—

Feed her one-third meat and two-thirds

vegetables and cereals; also give her

Fowler’s solution of arsenic three

times a day, two drops at a dose. ,.

Itchy Skim—Our young cattle are

inclined to lick themselves; also each

other, until the hair sheds off. I have

sprayed with disinfectants; they are

not lousy. L. A., Bryden, Mich—Give

each animal a. teaspoon of salt and a

tablespoonful of baking soda in feed

twice a day; also groom your cattle,

as the dust and dirt on skin ,causes

them to itch. The preparation you

have been using is a proper remedy to

apply to them.

Abscess—We bought a ,cow last

April which had been fresh about one

month. A bunch has formed in front

of udder, which is the size of’a quart

measure, but it is not painful. This

bunch commenced to grow two weeks

ago. B. S. V., Port Huron, Mich.—

Doubtless, this hunch is the result of

a. bruise; paint it with tincture of io-

dine daily. If soft, and you' are cer-

tain it is not hernial, open and allow

its contents to escape, then swab out

sack with tincture of iodine three

times a week.





Constipation—I have a cow that has

been troubled with constipation for

some time. I gave her salts, also lin-

seed oil. She is due to freshen in four

weeks. D. B., Lucas, Mich—Give her

half pound of epsom salts at a dose





py bran mash.





Ringworm—We have a. few calves

and our neighbors tell us the animals

have ringworm. Some of the sores are

on their eyelids. J. H. G., Avoca, Mich.

——Paint the sore parts with tincture of

ifgdine, or apply strong cider vinegar

ree times a week. Apply Olive oil-

to sore lids daily.

most tliree years old, which has never

WHEAT





VVheatprices have been whipping

back and forth rapidly over a range of

five to Seven cents in the last ten days

without making much real progress up

or down. I.'nderlying conditions have

gained in strength in some respects,

but have weakened in other directions,

and the total change has not been

enough to give prices a sustained

trend. Veterans in the grain trade re-

gard the situation as one of the most

puzzling they have ever known.



Receipts of wheat at spring wheat

markets have increased moderately

just at a time when milling demand is

tapering off.

edge from the cash wheat market. .



While the evidence was not consxst—

ent, some signs of broadening foreign

demand were apparent during the-past

week. The amount of wheat disap-

pearing in international trade, which

has been averaging about 10,000,000

bushels a week, has increased to about

12,000,000 bushels. '



Prices may continue to move Slde-

wise over a broad range, or they may

decline moderately because of the tap-

ering off in milling demand. No abrupt

break seems likely, and there are nu-

memus strong features which may

bring an advance within the next three





months.

RYE





Export demand for rye is still lack-

ing. Clearances in the last nine weeks

have been only about 400,000 bushels.

In the corresponding period last year,

over 20,000,000 bushels were exported.

Primary receipts are rather small, but



f they are more than enough for domes-

" tic demand, and the visible supply con-

" ' tinues to increase.





CORN





Receipts of corn at primary markets

have been unusually light in the past

month. Demand is broadening from

both industrial and‘feeder buyers, and

stocks at terminals have decreased

steadily since early! in October. The



' present visible supply is below normal

in size for this time of the year. It is

a little early yet for new corn to begin

to move freely, but the conditions are

becoming more favorable for the ab-

sorption ofgthe run without a further

decline to new low prices. The mar-



" ket has not risen far from the extreme

BUTTER



Short supplies of high~scoring but-

ter, prevented any sustained declines

last week, but prices were lower at

the close. Production shows consist~

ent gains over last year, and a large

winter make is generally expected.

The movement of butter out of storage

has slowed dOWn so that reductions

are not equalling a year ago. Con:

sumption is being maintained in spite

of the relatively high prices and low-

priced substitutes. Cheaper foreign

butter will stimulate the consumption

abroad. Cold weather will curtail do-

mestic production to some extent when

the movement of storage butter will be

accelerated.

IN its November survey of agricul-

ket presents more of a- domestic pic:

ture than it has, done for some years.

Our ex rt trade in pork products in

Septem or was [about half that of the

same months during the previous live

years, and wheat -a third, indicating

that European countries are enlarging

their production of farm products.

Hogs and sheep are selling to a mod-

erate-1y strong market, while prices of

beef and dairy cattle have tended up-

ward this fall. Potato growers tor-

tunate enough to have a crop, are due

for an inning this winter; but the re-

cent decline in corn is discouraging to

producers. .

Agriculture still lags behind industry

in the broad field of exchange rela-

tions. Industrial wages, prices and

charges stay at relatively high levels.

ated the Michigan Bean Storage

,, and Marketing Association by. the

undersigned, with headquarters atLan-





can receiv fifty'per cent of the map-





certificates for the remainderp These

beans will go into a. modern warehouse

fully insured, and sold- at such-time





as will not break the market. These »





certificates are transferable and Tclsin



s

plan is Complementary to holding

beans at home until the adequate price

isreached, and also prevides an outlet





for those who desire tosell their beans ’





without, lowering the market. We urge

the Michigan bean growers to give

their assistance to price maintenance

by’ using these plans. . Working ar-

rangements are being made along

these-lines with New York, Cdlifornia

and Idaho bean growers, so that price-s

may be stabilized.- It might be added

here that there is in the main, no con-

suming interest clamoring for low-pric-





has been the main cause in price de—

clines. The success of this plan means

a fair price to the gr‘owe‘r, and the con-

tinued pro—eminence of Michigan as a

bean-growing state. Th additional

price of fifty cents per h ndred to the

grower over existing prices is only

partial compensation for the losses he

has experienced. Crop' conditions

change from time to time, and advices

will be given through the columns of

the press, and through the elevators,

as to the situation. No plan can work

without the mutual assistance of been

growers. We‘re asking you to in-

sist on not less than $5.00 per hun-

dred weight to you as a minimum

price for beans. It is the opinion of

the very best elevator operators that

this price is reasonable 'and can be

maintained. .When beans are $5.00 per

hundred, market them up to the needs

of the trade. When the market begins

to sag below this. price, hold beans

back. or make arrangements for stor-

age under the plan outlined, with full

details, which can be found at local

elevators. Threshing should be delay-

ed on dainaged beans. Losses will be

less by remaining in the straw. Stor-

age of beans at elevators in the old





marketing, has been the occasion

many market declines. ((Signed),
