‘ What Is the Biggest ’ _
Worth a Farmer Buys? »

’ These letters indicate that “Ball—Band”
Rubber Footwear would get a flood of votes
from the ten million folks who wear it

 

 

 

    

  
  
  
        
     

“Easy come, easy go” does not happen on the farm.
Farm dollars are stubborn. They come hard and they
must go farther in buying.

Folks who do hard, heavy work are not to be satis-
fied by bargain talk or cheap price ofiers. Nor are they
much inclined to praise. Yet ask any neighbor who
wears Ball—Band Footwear how well it serves him and
you willhear him answer with the same genuine, hearty
praise you find in the letters on this page. For
“Ball-Band” Rubber Footwear gives its wearers not
only long service, but also real protection against Winter.
Warm feet in cold weather; dry feet in wet weather;
feet strongly-shod against rough going, are health itself
to the man who has stock to raise, cows to tend, and
a farm to keep going.

When a farmer buys rubber footwear he expects to
get comfort and protection for his feet. Snow is cold
and ice is hard and mud is wet and slush is chilling,
and leaky, broken or bad fitting footwear is almost
worse than none at all.

Foot protection is what the Red Ball
Trade Mark means

Ten million people have learned from experience that
“Ball-Band” Rubber Footwear gives them the protec—
tion they pay for. The Red Ball, the “Ball-Band”
Trade Mark, comes close to being the biggest money’s
worth they buy.

When you buy “Ball-Band” Boots or Arctics you
don’t have to worry about “picking out a good pair.”
“Ball-Band” Rubber Footwear is uniformly good. If
that Red Ball Trade Mark is there, satisfaction is there,
more days’ wear is there. You will get the same sort. of
long, steady service that the men who wrote the let—
ters do and knew they were getting when they bought.

,ribs of good feeders;

 

  

FTER all; the best judges of well-
finished stock are the buyers at
our terminal stock yards. These

' men can quickly tell good from infer-

ior stock. Of course, _ they ought to
be able to dothis, for it is their busi-
ness. That is what the packing com-
panies pay them to do.

Then, if this be true, and if, for a
period of seven years, these men un-
failingly pay the top prices for steers
from a certain farm, it ought to be the
best evidence that the men who are
attending to the feeding on that farm
are good feeders. This is the reputa-
tion enjoyed by Kellogg Brothers, of
Gratiot county. For seven years their _
stock has topped the Buffalo markets.
They live on a. farm of over 600 acres.
It is a good farm, and has been main-
tained in a high state of fertility as
a result of the farming methods fol—

I lowed, and the large amount of live

stock fed on the premises. ,,

These brothers do not take undue
credit to themselves for the SUCCESS
they have attained along this line.
Their father knew very well how to
put gloss on the coats, and fat on the
and the grand-
father, who settled on this farm nearly

2 three-quarters of a century ago, was

able to bring cattle to an excellent

. finish.

After three generations of cattle
lfeeding upon the same farm by the
same family, the practices followed
Lshould be dependable. The present
high state of prdductivity of this farm,
together with the success of their fat
cattle on the markets, indicates that
the-methods worked out can be com-
mended to the feeding fraternity.

The crop rotation followed is the
one commonly used on general farms
in the state. It consists of corn, or
beans, oats, wheat and clover, the clo-
ver remaining but ‘one year. A por-

tion of the clover sod plowed up is
planted to beans ,each year. This year
the beans on this farm averaged thir-
ty-flve bushels per acre, and last year
the average was thirty-eight bushels.
There were 140 acres of corn grown
this past season. The manure from
the feeding pens is drawn to the fields
in the winter time, and spread upon
the clover sod, which is turned down
for the corn and bean crops.

the largest profits. They buy animals
weighing from 800 to 1, 000 pounds.
The facilities they have for feeding en-

: able them to care for about 100 steers.

On this farm labor costs have been
reduced to a minimum. One of the
short cuts is the feeding of shock corn
to the cattle. This does away with
the expense of husking, the work be—
ing turned over to the steers. The
practice, however, precludes the feed-
ing of baby beef. The younger ani—
mals would not feed well on ear corn.

tions, he gave special emphasis to the
care necessary in buying feeders. Un-
less one purchases the right type of
animals, and buys them..on the proper
basis, the chances for success, he said,
are small. A little handicap in the
purchasing price is very hard to over-
come; in fact, it is only occasionally
done. These brothers go either to Chi-
cago or Kansas City for their feeders.
They have learned that, in the long
run, the best grade of feeders brings

on the Kellogg Farm, Every Modern
Economic Feeding of Cattle.

With the coming of the European corn
borer, the brothers are wondering what
changes may be necessary in their
program to meet the new situation.
The barns used for their feeding are
well planned and substantially built.
One of these barns is pictured on this
page. Every modern convenience for
handling both roughage and grain
feeds is provided. The grains are

supplies can be easily drawn off at a

convenient point near the feed racks.
The steers run loose in the feed pens.
These pens are well ventilated. Dur-
ing the daytime the steers have access
to an outside yard, except when the
weather is unfavorable. Running wa-
ter is always “on tap” in the pens. All
the feed, both roughage and concen-
trated, is fed in racks with tight bot-
toms.

The feeding extends over a period
of about seven months The steers are
bought to arrive about the first of De-
cember, and are shipped usually in
June or July. This enables them to
employ their labor to the best advan-
tage, to put the steers in the best of
condition, and to reach the market
when the prices are generally good.

Ensilage has been found to be an
important factor in the developing and
finishing of steers on this farm. They
feed it twice each day~—morning and
evening. A feed of clover hay is also
given in the morning, and at noon
time the animals get a substantial ra-
tion of shock corn. For the last hun-
dred days of the feeding period, a pro-
tein concentrate like cottonseed or lin-
seed meal is fed. For the first month
of this period, about a pound of this
concentrate is fed per day to each an-
imal. Then the amount is gradually
increased until they receive three
pounds as the daily portion of each
animal. During the last thirty days,
there is added a ration of shelled or
ground corn.

Steers finished on the Kellogg farm
in this manner, dress from sixty to
sixty—one pounds per 100 pounds of
live weight. One year the dressing
weight was sixty- two pounds It has
always been the practice of the broth-
ers to get a report from the packers
on the dressing weight, that they
might be guided in their future feed-
ing operations by the results—B. W.

This Alcona F armcr Is Happy

Good Crop: and Improved Hear/M! Restore tee Yuletide Spirit in tflz’s Home
By J. Dcrinody

F Earl A. Hemstreet, of Curran, Al-
cona county—a native-born Ken-
tuckian, by the way——needed any
concrete manifestation of’the unusual
fertility and adaptability of Michigan
' soil, or of the, pecuniary profit to be
derived therefrom, he got it this year
in hisseven acres of Northwestern
Dent corn, which averaged 100 baskets
to the acre. The ears averaged four-
teen inches in length, contained four-
teen to sixteen rows of kernels each,
and each ear had an average circum-
ference equal to that of a normal
man’s arm. Beautiful red kernels with
cloudless white tops, climaxed a corn
culture that at once arrested the at-
tention of the beholder
But Mr. Hemstreet needed no ocular
demonStration of the bounty of Mich-
. igan soil. Nor needed he any evi-
deuces of Michigan' 3 health- giving, life-
lengthening climate. For four years
now—since be .e grated from Ken-
‘ . yed tangible and,

the kindness of nature here in Mich-
igan. And the outstanding example
of this kindness is the health of his
eight-year-old daughter.

Four years ago, Mr. Hemstreet, his
wife and a four—year-old daughter lived
in Kentucky. The daughter was the
victim of tuberculosis. Physicians
warned Mr. Hemstreet that he must
leave Kentucky if he wished to give
the daughter a chance to live. Har-
assed by the scepter of the scourge
which hung over his daughter, and
torn with anguish at the thought of
quitting his home and friends, he wan—
dered aimlessly into several states,
seeking desirable farm lands.

One day he drifted into the office of
the Northeastern Development Bureau

at Bay City. Through the bureau he
got in touch with OWners of farm
lands. He finally purchased forty

- ‘.

acres near Curran, in the,“ western sec-

tion of Alcona county. Immediately
he removed his family. The land was
uncleared and was far from attractive
to the city-trained eye of Mrs. Hem-
street.

“This land can’t be worth much.
You bought it in too much ofa hurry,”
she told him, when she accompanied
him from their rented rooms to the
new farm. Mrs. Hemstreet was in the
throes of nostalgia.

But the little four-year-old girl was
not troubled with homesickness. At
once, it seemed to her parents, the
too-high color in her cheeks began to
tone down and take on a deeper, more
robust hue. The lack-lustre eyes he-
gan to sparkle and gleam. . The bound-
less energy natural to childhood sup-
planted her languid demeanor.

lmmediately Mr. Hemstreet began to
clear the ”farm, he struck a gravel pit.
This is without agricultural signifi-

cance, except that he realized $300
cash from the sale of gravel, which
helped him with his clearing and the
erection of his house. Today thirty-
five of the forty acres have been clear-
ed, the entire acreage is surrounded
by woven fenCe, and the little girl has
been pronounced ninety-nine per cent
perfect in health and physique by a
member of the state board of health.
Potatoes, alfalfa, garden truck, corn
and other vegetables have been raised,
and a herd of nine cows is getting
some of the daughter’s attention. So,
perhaps it is not surprising that the
Hemstreet “family are enthusiastic
Michigan boosters.

But let Mr. Hemstreet tell it him-
self:

“Physicians drove me here,” he said.
“Doctors’ bills were costing me $20 a.

week four years ago in Kentucky;

Since we came to Michigan I have
paid only a single doc-’tors bill. That

was a few weeks ago when I got " '

world inspired by the spirit that moves
us at the Christmas time—that gener-

ful, brotherly spirit of the Yuletide
hour.

Then it is that hearts come togeth-

coin. This, one can see from reading
the list of winnings in the hay and
grain classes; as published in last

week’s issue of” the Michigan Farmer“

and, on another page of this issue, the
awards given our live stock exhibitors.
The successes of these men from Mich-
igan convince one that the diversified

type of. agriculture is not. degenerat-

ing, but rather that it'has distinct. ad-

vantages over single-crop farming in

the production, of quality products.
The International is advertising to

and 1925 is that the number of farm
owners in this state has increased
from 159, 406 to 161. 981, and the num-
ber of farm tenants have decreased
from 34,722 to 29,119, and the number
of farm managers dropped from 2,319
to 1.234. These favorable social chang-
es in Michigan farm operation are a
matter for congratulation.

HE 1925 Interna-

' ° tional has come
Michigan and gone. Without
at In' doubt, it was the

ternational greatest show of its
. kind ever held in this
or any other country. In a great many
respects, all former efforts were out-
done, and competition in every class
was unusually keen.
What was Michigan’s part in this
great show? When one surveys the

agriculture of the state, and Compares
it with the agriculture of other states,
and then carefully goes through the
premium lists of the great Chicago
show, he is inclined to the conclusion
that the great International is more

the world Michigan’s excellent live
stock, and her superior grains and
seeds. This advertising has a poten-
tial worth of millions of dollars to the
state, if our farmers will but take ad-
vantage of the publicity. The calls for
our prize winning products, resulting
from the successes at every recurring
International, are calls that should be
answered with an increasing volume
of de luxe grains, seeds, and breeding
stock.

It is interesting to note that Wil- 7

ing the contest, he drank a quart of
milk, not liquor, in celebration and for
nourishment.

all would train for our jobs, in as
fundamental a way as Mr. Williams
did, we might do our work better. Mr.
Williams has demonstrated, at ’least,
that a system of common—sense train-

is always fixin’ somethin’, and the kids
is tellin’ what they want Santa. ta bring.
Yep, Santa is alright, fer he is the
bringer 0’ good cheer ta a lot 0’ folks;
and the bringer o’ bills ta me.

Sammy Goldstein, what runs the gen~

brought up to. believe in Santa, butrhe
says Santa is one

{what is, ’cause he
brings Sa‘mJots o'.

There’s lots 0’

is thankful fer
Santa. But, you

 

know, he is only
a messenger boy who bringsonly what
other folkses give him ta bring. So
the folkses behind Santa, the woman

what sits up late nights making things ‘

for others fer Christmus, and the man
What pays the bills, need a heap 0’
thanks fer givin’ Santa somethin' ta
bring.

It must be lots 0‘ fun ta be Santa.
He sees folkses happy over what they
get, and other folkses happy over what
they‘ve given them. It’s sometimes
hard ta tell which is the happiest, the
giver or the receiver.

It must be lots 0’ fun fer Santa, too.
ta bring a tie or‘somethin’, what ain't
liked, and ta see the fellow tryin’ ta
act like it was the best thing he ever
got. I guess most 0’ us has had ta do
that. I know I got some ties and
shirts what makes me feel like I was
wearin’ somebody else’s clothes.

Ain’t Santa funny? He’s not like
other men. He wears knickers like

them. But he’s old-fashioned, ’cause
he ain’t bobbed his hair or his Whisks

or girl.

A young man returned from a short
course at the college of agriculture,
with many new ideas. He had discov-
ered new possibilities in farming, and
also made some discoveries which led
him to believe he had been cultivating
crops not adapted to the particular
soil on the old farm. He had a slight
suspicion that they might have been
conducting the business wrong. He
believed keeping records to determine
these things just as important as keep-
ing accounts to determine the earn-
ings of a bank.

So, when he took hold of the farm
work again, he opened a set of books,
and before the season was over was
able to tell his father and other expe-
rienced neighbors some facts about

farming they did not know. For ex-

ample, on such land as he was crop-
ping: worth from $50 to $60 per acre,
he found that it cost, including labor

and interest at six per cent, $5. 00 to
produce. a ton of. hay.
He also found that it was obsting
fifty-one cents to grow, thresh and put
a bushel of oats in the bin. Before that
time they did not know which paid
the greater profit fer the expense and
labor involved, or whether any of their
operations were really paying. .
——Guided. by the first year’s accounts,
this young man set about cultivating
certain crops he knew would return a
profit, and which were adapted to the
soil in which they were planted, and
for which" there existed a profitable
market in that region. .
This young farmer believes that farm
accounting otters advantages to the
farmer in these rather difficult times
to make both ends meet. “And no
farm record is complete,” he advised,

expended by both men and horses in
terms of hours. Only in this way, can
the labor cost of producing different
crops be determined.

“I learned from my account books
that cattle gave a ready sale for rough

feeds at home, at about their market
value, and hesides, helped maintain
the fertility of the land. Records on
rate of grain and feed consumed, show.

that, after deducting the cost of other
feeds, etc. calves fed for awhile after
weaning, paid about one dollar a bush-
el for their corn. Hogs following the
calves also gained some.

“I computed the cost of producing
pork in terms of pounds, and found
that, counting feed, labor,. interest,

equipment and depreciation, the cost

was about 9.8 cents.- Each” bushel of
corn fed to the perkers produced 12. 5
pounds gain, or eight bushels of corn
were required to make 100 pounds of
gain. For each bushel of corn fed into
the hogs, we received about $1. 85, af-
ter labor, cost of other feeds, interest,
depreciation, and other just and rea-
as they appeared
at the time, were deducted. ”

On all farm operations a strict ac-
count should be kept. Bookkeeping
pays, because it helps the farmer to
know what he has done, and is doing.
Also, farm accounting compels the

farmer to study his buSinesis and use

his judgment. ‘ ‘ ~— ~ ~-

But a survey would show that the
farmers of any given community “ .
few records.-

 

important to record are happening, the j
tiller of the soil is too busy and. his

hands and mind too tired frOm toil, to, '

make a. record. Besides, in too many
cases the farmer feels that, since" a.
record of his operations does not
change the results books are not
worth keeping.

However, the business man in tow
might make the same excuse with as

much reason of getting aWay with it. ' I

In making such assumption, the farmer
overlooks the fact that a" well-kept
and carefully studied record of each
year’s operations will change substan-
tially, the result. In such a. record
the farmer will discover the principal
leaks in his business, and the means
of preventing, these wastes in the fu-
ture will suggest themselves. The rec-
0rd will disclose the principal sources
of income, and give the farmer the op-
portunity of further developing those
departments of'the business.

At any rate, an inventory should be
made at the end of the year and stud-
ied in connection with the cash bal-
ance, and in comparison with the in-
ventory of the year preceding. This
will show clearly in which direction
the business is headed.

The inventory sheet, listing the ma-
chinery owned, live stock, grain, hay,
vegetables, etc., will prove most valu-
able in the case of a fire, as this would
be the basis of adjustment. The same
holds true of the possessions in'th‘e
farm home. Also, the inventory will
materially aid the farmer to show his
banker what his resources are, as
against his liabilities. If he be a for-
tunate farmer, who does not borrow
money, then there will still be some
satisfaction in knowing how much he
is, or is not, worth!

Helps fOT Community Building
Some ‘Materz'a/ Mat ”/1” Aid Nezgfléarr 1'72 ”farting Out Community Plan“
By Nat T. Frame

N attempting to answer the ques-
I tions in a recent article in this pa-

per, entitled, “You and Your Neigh-
bors,” you must have come to a defl-
nite realization of certain very specific
problems confronting your neighbor-
hood. The challenge, that you and
your neighbors can not avoid, even
though you may fail to meet it, is
“what are you going to do now that
you are definitely aware that the prob-
lem exists?”

Experience seems to indicate two
broad lines of procedure to be consist-
ently followed by any neighborhood
that really wants to progress.

The first is to get all possible infor-
matibn about your neighborhood con-

, ditions, and how your problemsmay

be overcome, from people who are
trained in such matters, county school

authorities, agricultural agents, public
'health officers, welfare workers, and

others. Pull out of these specialists
-all of the. dependable information you
'can,_g and then get this information
across to as many of your neighbors

[as you can.

 

   

, There. are also a. multitude of state
and national specialists anxious to
help. neighborhoods analyze their sit-

 

juations and map out programs for

‘rdomipg their problems- Thrbugh
chino State new ‘9‘? state

     

 
 
 

'Association, or the editors of the
Michigan Farmer, you can get in touch
with these specialists in almost all
lines of human endeavor, whether eco-
nomic, social, education, or religious.

Just what the advice of‘these spe-
cially trained people who may be will-
ing to advise you will be, we can not
undertake here to suggest. We can,
however, indicate to you what is being
done along neighborhood and commu—
nity development lines in difierent
parts of the country. Some of these
suggestions may fit your neighborhood.

In a book entitled “Rural Life,” by
C. J. Galpin, of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, there are
many stories of neighborhood and
community development, sometimes
with the consolidated school asa cen-
ter, sometimes with the church as the
center, sometimes with a definitely or-
ganized ctfihmunity club, sometimes
under other leadership.

If the need is evident for a new
building-that may be used as a com—«

munity building, there is a series 01' .

United States Department of Agricul-
ture bulletins, 1173, 1192, and 1274,
having to do with community build-
ings, their operation and management.

The American Country Life; Associa-

tion, with its ofl‘ice in the Grand Cen-
tral Terminal, New York City, has held
eight national meetings where rural
neighborhood problems have been dis-
cussed and the proceedings of these
meetings each year have been printed
in book form. The titles of these are:
1, Objectives in Country Life; 2, Rural
Health; 3, Rural Organization; 4,
Town and Country Relation; 5, Coun-
try Community Education; 6, The Rur-
al Home; 7, Religion in Country Life.

.The eighth national conference was

held at Richmond, Virginia, October
27-31, 1925. The theme was “Needed
Readjustments in Rural Life Today.”
A study of the contents of these vol-
umes will furnish much information
that can be put to use in your neigh-
borhood.

There is also a book called “The
Rural Community,” by N. L. Sims,
which contains a host of information
about neighborhoods and how they
have organized themselves to raise the
standards of country life.

Then there is another book entitled
“The Community,” by E. C. Lindeman,
in Chapter 10 of which he describes
different types of community organiza-

tion, and discusses the advantages and
disadvantages of 'one

all-inclusive

neighborhood organization to which
everybody belongs, as against the fed—
erated or council type of organization
where the different organized units in
the neighborhood delegate their ofli—

cers or others to speak for them
through a. common neighborhood
councfl. -

There is a bulletin that may be se—
cured by writing to the Extension Di-
vision, College of Agriculture, Morgan-
town, W. Va, entitled, "Helping the
Community Saw Wood on its Commu-
nity P1 og1 am " This contains definite
stories of achievements gathered from
the reports of more than two hundred ‘
rural neighborhoods that have been
using the score card method for sev-
eral years.

The more you and your neighbors
can take time to study the above and
similar books and publications, the
better prepared you will be to exert
your influence in the right direction
in organizing your neighborhood.

The second broad line of proce-
dure requires that the neigthrhood
officers 01 leaders plan very definitely
for never-ending sources of inspiration

group to do what it knows it ought
to do.

their’s was the best of the seven ex-
hibits at the Top ’0 Michigan Potato
and Apple Show, it marked a com~
plete series of triumphs for the able
little workers, and marked the attain-
ment of the goal set by its hard-work-
ing leader, Mr. Fred Brudy. Shaking
ofl.’ the other clubs of northern Michi-
gan at the elimination contest in Gay-
lord last summer, ’they were chosen to
represent this district at the State
Fair in the state contest. In competi-
tion with the best clubs from all over
the state, they won first at Detroit.
Returning home, they began to pre-
pare for the Top ’0 Michigan Potato
and Apple Show, and again they have
won their place on the top rung. If
there were any other worlds to con-
quer they would, no doubt, try for
them.- As it is, their entries of pota-
toes are being sent to Chicago, where
they will compete for prizes with the
best in the country, but the club mem-
bers have reached their goal.

The boys and girls who have made
this remarkable record possible, are
Elmer Brudy, Dorothy Scott, Milo
Ring, Gordon Reeves, Donald Scott.
Too much credit cannot be.given to
Mr. Fred Brudy, who, without any re-
ward except the satisfaction of helping
the boys and girls in the neighborhood,
devoted many days of his valuable
time to the training of these'young-
sters—work that should be taken care
of by the county through the agricul-
tural agent—E. L.

Only Chrysler Four Combines
‘ These Performance Abilities" .

g The Chrysler Four’s extraordinary performance —- itself the

direct and positive evidence of , the highest quality in design,
materials and craftsmanship - literally "leaves no alternativ
in its field.

Today’s market holds nothing of any type, approaching the
Chrysler Four price range, which even remotely approxio
mates its supreme combination of performance abilities.

In speed, the Chrysler Four gives you a new standard— 58
miles an hour, achieved quickly and easily, not for a momen—
tary spurt, but for eager mile after mile, as long as you like.

When you would dash away ahead of the crowd in traffic,
the Chrysler Four Whisks you from 5 to 25 miles in eight
seconds—with sure-footed reliability and purring smoothness.

Yet, with all the super—power necessary for such speed and
such swift pick—up, you can get 25 miles to the gallon.

Any one of these exceptional abilities would be sufficient
evidence of value for any manufacturer except Chrysler: the
three of them clinch the assurance of Chrysler Four’s trano
scendent quality and worth.

Any Chrysler dealer is eager to afford you the opportunity
of proving the superiority of this favored Four. We ask you
to ride in the car -- drive it— see and feel for yourself, its
speed, its swift response, its pliability of power, its smooth

TRESPASSING BY HUNTERS.

 

We are the owners of a farm of 198
acres. A power company has built a
dam on the river that flows by our
farm, backing the water over about 100
acres of this faim. This company has
not settled with us for our land. There
will be good duck shooting on this
property. Has the public a right to
come on the farm-to shoot? The
sportsmen claim they have the right,
but it seems to us that it is our pri-
vate property, even though there is
water on our 1and.-——. V.

The fact that the land is flooded
does not render it the less private; and
there is no public right of hunting on
private ground, whether covered by
twater or not. Any person who com-

amids the necessity of entering the

agent. to the Michigan State College.
Most of the farmers of that section

they bought land. worked it as they
could, erected first a shack and then
such other buildings as they could. and
finally left the work underground for
the farm. There are other farmers
who started as lumber—jacks. 0f the
two classes, Mr. Lonsdorf reports that
the miners have made the better farm-
ers, probably because the woodsman
still likes the woods so well that he
will not give suflicient attention to his
farming to make a success of it. One-
third of the Dickinson farmers now
work in the woods during the logging
season. About 300 farmers reside per-
manently on their farms. Of these,
about 100 are dairy farmers, and these
depend solely on what they can earn
by their dairying. The farms are scat-
tered and it is not easy for the agent
to reach all of his farmers without
much driving.

GREEN FOODS NECESSARY.

 

REEN feed is fully as important
as either scratch grain or dry
, mash, and comparatively few Michigan
'farmers feed green food as it should
be fed. A truly successful poultryman
regards green feed as important as
mash, scratch grains or water, and sees
to it that his birds are supplied daily
with green feed in some succulent
form. Sprouted oats areOmost desir-
able where it is convenient to sprout
them. The cats should be soaked in
warm water for twenty-four hours,
then spread in shallow trays, boxes, or
pans, and kept at a temperature of
from sixty to eighty degrees until the
stem sprout o fthe cat is between one-
half and three-quarters of an inch in
length. At that stage, the oats carry
the greatest amount of food value and
succulence. It should be remembered
that the green feed isfed for succu-
lence and not necessarily for green
color.
If it is not convenient to sprout oats,

gels, sugar beets, or raw potatoes,~ car-
rots, turnips, beets, any good root

Ifeeds. When cooked, however, they
are still good feed, but have lost their

crops, the roots should .be chopped
and fed in troughs or hoppers so that

Where root crops are not obtainable,
[squash or pumpkin chopped, or apples,
may prove satisfactory. Alfalfa that
has been steamed pr soaked, is better
than nothing, but, at best, a rather
poor substitute for a good succulent
‘green feed. The birds should be fed
at least once per day, all of the green
feed in some form or other, that they
will clean up.

CHICKEN MANURE SHOULD BE
SAVED.

 

CHICKEN manure is one of the
most valuable fertilizers produced
on the farm. It is especially rich in
nitrogen, and since this is one of the
essential elements that plants must

The practice of most farmers to

quired to have definite laws on. the
disposal of property to heirs.

Black Raspberries.

The last morning of the convention
was devoted mainly to small fruits.
m: A. H. Teske, of the college horti-
cultural department, told of his inves-
tigation of the black raspberry busi-
ness. The production of raspberries
has been falling off considerably. In
some counties in New York the acreé
age dropped from 7,000 to 160 in ten
years. .

In Michigan, the average yield was

seventy-four cases in 1900; fifty-nine
in 1910, and forty-eight and three-
fourths in 1920. Figures for this year
show that the average yield was about
thirty-nine cases.
' Raspberries do best in a well-drain-
ed soil, preferably on slopes. In many
cases, orchards have been planted in
the good locations, and raspberries
have been relegated to the lower
spots. This has resulted in disease,
infection, and poor stands. Location
often means success or failure in rasp-
berry growing. Care is also neces-
sary. One should not use a disk, as it
cuts the roots, thus inflicting serious
injury, the raspberry being a shallow-
rooted plant. Raspberry patches
should not be plowed; the harrow
should be used instead. The best dis-
tance to set plants is three feet apart
in the row, and the rows eight feet
apart. '

Successfully Selling Raspberries.

Mr. Currie Christensen, the mana-
ger of the Onekama Farm Bureau,
spoke of the success that the Onekama
raspberry growers have had in co-
operatively selling their fruit. One
commission man in Milwaukee sold all
of it for a time, but the quantity got
so large other commission men had to
help. During the season, special boats
run from Onekama to Milwaukee. Com-
petition from the Bayfleld, Wisconsin,
district developed, so Mr. Chrestensen
got in touch with the Bayfield people,
and they agreed to sell through the
same commission firms, thus prevent-
ing competition and the spoiling of the
markets for each other. Now both
Bayfield and Onekama sell in Milwau-
kee and Chicago, but one broker
handles all the fruit and he places it
so neither market is given more than
it can handle. Western raspberries
sell on the same markets at a premium
of only twenty-five cents per case.

Cost of Apple Marketing.

One of the most interesting features
of the program was a talk on “What
Happens in the Dark,” by Secretary
Hootman. Mr. Hootman had a. basket
of 150 apples, representing in apples
what Duchess sold for in Chicago at
retail last summer, at one cent per
apple. Then the picking and other
marketing» costs were figured, and ap-.
'ple‘s laid out on the table in accord-
ance with the costs. Eight apples were
laid out for picking costs; in other
words, it was figured that picking
costs eight cents per bushel. Hauling

from orchard to packing shed, took

six apples, or sit'cents; baskets, twen-

ms léit Weary-seven apples in, the

basket for the grower, which manym '

the audienCe thought was,higher,then

actual conditions would warrant. How

e'ver, this chewed that the fruit grower
had to take care“ of his cultural costs
on a. rather narrbw margin, and if ap-
ples brought the grower-less than $1.25 .
per bushel, the groiver'was losing mon-
ey. It is needless to Say that the
Duchess was generally alosing propo-

sition last year:

Get Rid of June Varieties.

The things to do to make fruit grow-
ing more profitable are, according to
Mr. Hootman: get rid of junk varie~
ties; eliminate unproductive trees;
concentrate on varieties in greatest
demand; use good young trees; feed
them well, care for them, and make
money. '

The development of scab spores was
very interestingly described by Mr. H.
W. Fitch. His talk Was made more
interesting by the use of charts. He
said that the spores hold over the win-
ter in old leaves. They remain-dor-
mant until spring, when warm weather
and rain cause them to burst and
spread. Five minutes after a.raniv
large numbers of these spores burst,
thus spreading infection. It is need«
less to spray for scab during the dry
weather, but spraying should proceed,
or immediately follow, rain. Sulphur
is the fungicidal agent in lime-sulphur.
So, sulphur, either in dry or wet form,
would be effective. After scab got un-’
der the leaf of apple tissue, it could
not be reached. But often the living
edge around a. scab spot would take in
the sulphur and would actually com«

Prof. M. J. Dorsey, pomologist of

the Illinois Experiment Station, gave '

a very interesting talk on the pollena-
tion of fruit He has found, through
exhaustive study,‘ that unfavorable
weather, incompatibility of blossoms,
and other things, prevented fertiliza-
tion. Nutrition was a great factor in
pollenizatlon. Improperly fed trees de-
veloped blossoms with reproductive or-
gans which failed to fertilize. Some-
times the use of more nitrogen, the
withholding of it, pruning, or some
other change in cultural methods,
would bring a tree into fruit produc~
tion.

Mr. C. E. Durst concluded the pro-
gram by talking on fruit marketing
observations. He gave stress to the
many factors which are keeping Mich-
igan from gaining her rightful plates
in the fruit industry.

Two Winter Meetings. .

The society will hold two Winter
meetings. One will occur at the time
of Farmers’ Week at East Lansing.
when the new horticultural building of
the college will be dedicated. Many
prominent speakers will be present at
that time, among them being Dr. L. H.
Bailey, 3. Michigan man who has be-
come the world’s most famous horti—
culturist, and Prof. Frank A. “laugh,
a Michigan graduate who has become
prominent in horticulture in the east.
This meeting will be held February
3 to 5. _ »

The other get—together Will be in
conjunction With the Berrien County
Horticultural Society at Benton Hair-
bor some time in March. '

things that had happened the
fore made me want to cget up
back ferties again fora. once.

_, j new, and wanted me there; I
wouldn’t take it, and the best back-

there isn’t wild and wooly, nor as gOOd
o gaze upon, as the Superior slope,
still it would take me back into the
camps again, and it would be some-
thing to do. So I took it. ~

“There was still a good stand of
pine around there, but it was going
fast. The camps were spreading far-
ther and farther back from the river,
cleaning the plains on each side. Hen~
ry Coton owned the most of the camps
when I went there. All the big ones,
in fact. A few of the little fellows
tried to stand in his way, and operate
on their own hook! Did things hap-
pen? I guess they did! Fires, and
drivin’ gangs quittin’ cold just when
the river was breaking up in the spring
——oh, there were ways all right. and
‘ Henry Coton knew them. Before I’d

'been there three years the little fel-
lows had either sold out or .were clean-
ed out. Whn Coton started in to log
a. stream, he wanted axe-room, he said,
which meant the valley of the river,
so far up and down as he went. Of
course, he had a couple of competitors
between him and the boom, who were
too big to fight. P. J. Sullivan and
another concern. They were all near
enough equal that it paid them to use
the Pigeon together and let each other
alone.

“But, between Wolverine, and the
headwaters of the river, Coton had a
clear swing for his axe. Did I say
clear? Not quite! There was one
bush in his way, and he couldn’t get
over it. Oc-que-oc, twelve miles above
Wolverine, on the Pigeon, and the rail-
road. A little backwoods station of
half a dozen log houses, set in the
heart of as pretty a thousand-acre
stand of pine as grew along the river.
A little trout stream runs into the Pig-
eon there, and the settlement was nam-
ed for that stream, Oc-que-oc, Chippe-
wa for Sainted Waters.

“When the Klire boys came up there

and got hold of that pine land—almost
two townships~with the money their
dad had left them, out of an eastern
business, I guess the first conserva-
tionists moved into Michigan. They
got enough men to start cutting, not
the usual hard—boiled lumberjack kind,
but steady married men, who moved
in with them, and made homes—and
then they began to sort. Their idea
was to pick out the big stuff, thin out,
and hold the rest, maybe a life-time,
till pine was scarce, and the price up.
They would live by farmin' the cleared
land around them. They wasn’t quite
far-sighted enough to think of buying
up more land after the cutting and re-
planting. But, even at that, they was
considered crazy, up there, and folks
prophesied that they wouldn’t last
long. The first winter they cut a fire
boundary, and fire lanes, and let it go
at that. It made a fair season’s work
for their small crew, too, for they cut
wide enough to be sure they were
safe.
“The older brother died the third
summer, and left Jimmy Klire alone
with the job. And that was how mat-
ters stood, except that Jimmy was mar-
ried, when Henry Coton went up the
Pigeon.

“Coton bargained, coaxed, threaten-
ed, and swore. It was no use. I knew
Jimmy pretty well, and he used to tell
me that he’d get to lovin’ that chunk
of standin’ pine so, he didn’t believe
itl’d ever be cut off, not While he was

Chad Davis’ father went to Northern Michigan in the days of,“solid,

ment, Chad grew up. At twenty-four, he is a minister in a small ‘sub— "

Waiting for, his night train, he meetsAlice Clair, whom he vividly remem-

happened to the other little fellows
that had held out, below him, and
above. It wasn’t any use. He had
brought all the people there, that was
in the village, and had kept ’em all in
work, at better than good wages, so
they stood by him. -

“The thousand-acre tract around Oc-
que-oc shouldn’t be cut or sold! They’d
trust to their fire lanes and wait!

“And there it stood—a. thousand
acres of clean thinned pine—the only
patch between Coton’s upper and low-
er camps, within ten miles of the riv-
er. May be you don’t think it was a
thorn in his side! Of course, he want-
ed to whip Jimmy Klire a lot worse
than he wanted the paltry thousand
acres of pine. And he wanted the
pine some, too!

“So the rest of us waited, along with
Jimmy. Only we that. knew Coton
pretty well, didn’t trust so much in the
fire lanes.

“Things kind of quieted down after
a season or two. Coton was working
farther and farther up, away from Oc-
que-oc, and it almost looked as if he
had forgotten Klire’s pine.

“Then the summer \Jimmy’s baby
was past two, the fires began to get
bad around us. They didn’t begin till
in August, and by that time, we’d had
the worst six weeks’ drought I ever
saw, even on the plains! It had got
so dry that you didn’t dare knock out
your pipe in the road, for fear the dust
would catch.

“And when the fires started, maybe
they didn’t burn some. We felt fairly
safe, for it was well cleared around Us.
Of course, we had the slashings to
burn, but they’re not so bad. But north
and west of Virolverine the pine forest
was transformed into a row of travel-
ing furnaces. The smoke drifted down
to us so thick, on. the days when the
wind was right, that you could look at
the sun without blurring your eyes,
and the sky stayed so red that the low
stars didn’t show, night after night.

“Two weeks and still hot—scorching
hot—without a drop of rain. Then the
fires began in the slashings.”

“They didn’t get threatening, for
there wasn’t enough material—but
they looked important to me! Henry
Coton was on the Pigeon somewhere——
and I kept a.- close watch up the line
for the fire to break out around Oc—que-
oc. It came one day, the first week in
September, just about noon. The

We showed him what had ‘

pine somehow, on all sides,

slashing fires had worked completely
around them by that time, and it
seems they jumped into the standing
and in
fifty places all at once! It was a still
day, with a. light breeze in the west,
a day when sparks will go three hun<
dred feet straight up!

“The fire lanes might about as well
have been slashing! The village was
shut in complete, and the fire almost
upon it before they had time to get
their shovels and axes out. There was
no operator there, and I stood it till
about three o’clock, sittin’ at my shelf
with my key open, waitin’! None of
our men who had gone up the line to
help them, had come back to report.
I guess nobody knew how bad it was
even then. I could see a pretty big
column of smoke, but, of course, I
difdn't know the town was in the center
0 it.

“Then Dan Lee pulled in on our
siding with the local freight. When
his old 337 rolled by the station win-
dow, I called the Division Superintend—
ent at Saginaw. When Dan stepped
into the doorway the key was talkin’
back to me, ‘Send Dan in on a clear
line!’ He heard it, and started out.

“There’s a couple of coal gondolas
on the switch there,” I yelled to him,
as he swung up into the cab. “Hook
on to them, and load everybody in, and
run ’em out on the other side, if you
can’t come back.

“The fireman unhooked the coupling,
and I saw the wheels slip on old 337
as Dan opened her out.

“It seems that our fire fighters had
worked around to the east side, in
hopes of working in against the wind.
So there was nobody in sight along
the tracks. The fire was closing in on
the railroad in a triangle from both
sides, and it was getting pretty bad.
But, Dan kept the cab windows shut
and made it in all right. The village
had stopped fighting. There was only
a couple hundred acres or so left
around it, and the fire was a com-
plete circle around that. Every man,
woman, and child, was in a little circle
before the schoolhouse, ‘The Church of
Sainted Waters,’ as Jimmy’s wife call-
ed it, on their knees.

“Dan bunted into the gondolas, and
by the time the couplings were set,
every soul of them had tumbled up
into the steel coal cars. Then Dan
swung down out of the cab to look
around. It was too thick up the line
ahead. No chance, he decided. He

pretty well singed off, but he kept up
on the roadbed, out of the hot cinders

thing. '

“ ‘Ode, did they find Jimmy Klire,

“ ‘No,’ I told him. ‘We didn’t find
any of ’em yet, Dan. Those steel cars
haven’t cooled off yet. And when we
do, I don’t guess we’ll know Jimmy
from the rest.’ ” "

“ ‘But Jimmy wasn’t with the rest,’
Dan explained.” ‘

“‘How’d he get out, Dan? You’re
gittin’ too tired to talk. Better go to
sleep’.”

“Dan shook his head. ‘I know what
you’re thinkin’, but you’re wrong. I
ain’t out o’ my head, and I ain’t forgot.
Good God, man, I never can forget
that, not as long as I live! I was halt
a dozen rods up the track when I look—
ed back at the fire, and there, on one
hand, and his knees, just crawlin’ out
from under the engine, up by the pilot,
was Klire. He had climbed out of the
gondola, and got down there somehow,
where the heat’was least, and he had
his little girl wrapped up in 3. Wet
quilt, in his free arm. I started back
'to help him, but he seemed to see a
way clear, through the burned—over
land, and started out across there. I
knew I was too near all in to follow
him out into the ashes, soI let him go.
Nobody else crawled out, so I come on.
He ain't in yet?’ ”

“ ‘Not here, Dan. He might have
made it out to some settler’s shack,’ ”

“ ‘Yeah. And, again, he mightn’t,’ ”
Dan mused. “ ‘There was a lot of
burnin' between him an’ the edge.’ ”

“It was an hour or so after that be—
fore he said much more. Then he
opened his eyes. I supposed he was
asleep—and”

“ ‘There’s somethin’ else I ought to
speak about, Ode,’ he said. ‘I don’t
know if it ’ull do any good or not, but
I’m goin’ to tell you, anyhow. When
we drove old 337 over the border of

when she knew she’ couldn’t. He
wouldn't have gone through otherwise.”

In a manner as emotionless as her
voice, she pushed up the light silken
sleeve on her left arm. On the clear
ivory of her skin, a scar began, a little

'above the elbow—a terrible scar, ridg-

ed and cratered and knobbed-flesh
like white slag! The scar was lost
under the pushed-up sleeve. It must
run well over the shoulder. '

“That is my fire mark,” she said
simply. “My only‘heritage from Jimmy
Klire’s tract of pine.” Pride rang up
above the cold rage in her voice at the
name, and tears all but choked her as
she went on. “I’m so glad for it! And
I used to hate it so. He made me feel
ashamed of it—though he’d never tell
me how it came there.

“He was sitting in the library, when
I went home that afternoon,” she re-
sumed. “If I had had a gun I should

word alone would prove nothing, as he
had said. Better keep still and wait,
I decided.

“We went out early the next morn-
ing to look for Klire. When we left,
Dan said something about not being
there when I came back. I laughed at
him. “Look here; you old moss-back,’
I told him, ‘we couldn’t kill you if, we

ran old 337 herself over you! You’re
too tough!”’
“He grinned back at me. ‘You

couldn’t kill me that way this morning,
that’s sure. I don’t much guess 337
would run far enough.’ That was all
that was said, and when we got back
he had checked in. Burned on the
body, deeper than we thought. I don’t
suppose you’re much interested in Dan,
but I’m telling you his part of the
story, so you’ll see how completely the
evidence, what little there was, was
destroyed.”

“We found Klire, a hundred yards
out in the burning. He had stumbled
over a smouldering dead log, and nev-
er got up. There was nothing or no-
body with him, though, and at first
I thought Dan had been wrong about
the little girl. After I looked around
a little, though, it seemed as if there
was a place in the ashes, just in front
of Jimmy, where something wet had
fallen. And a yard or two farther on
I was sure there.was a foot print.

“There didn’t seem much to do, so I
waited. A couple months later, I
heard through a Saginaw paper that
Henry Coton had taken a baby girl as
his ward. Her parentage was unknown,
the reporter said, and Coton wouldn’t
discuss it. The reporter enlarged on
the good fortune of the little girl, in
becoming heir to such a fortune, and
even hinted at a future romance.

“I quit the station at Wolverine that
Christmas, and in Detroit, in January,
I managed to get a glimpse of Coton‘s
protege. It was Ellen Klire. By that
time, though, I didn’t think it was
much use to start something I couldn’t
prove. So I just waited for that ro-
mance to bud. It’s budded, young lady
——you’re Jimmy Klire’s girl. Now do
whatever you please. I’ve squared for
Jimmy and Dan, anyway.’ ”

CHAPTER V.
Ellen Tells Her Story.

Alice went on to the end, in a voice
cold, and hard, and dry, at the recount-
ing of the old tragedy. Davis, watch-
ing, had seen choking sorrow; rank-
ling hatred; the flaming courage of
Jimmy Klire, sweep over the exquisite
face, as she told the story, exactly as
they must have done, when she sat at
the hotel table, and heard it for the
first time from the lips of Grant.

But, at the end, she was quiet, her
emotions burned out, as it were, with
their own fierce intensity. It must

. have been so, he thought, when Grant

came to the end of the tale that other
day. a That was why she had waited.
Why she had not killed Coton within
an hour. “And your mother?” Chad
queried gently. .

"Jimmy Klire could not. have carried
us both out. She may have been dead
when he leftth‘e gondola... But I like
to. think that she ‘sent him on with me,
ml ad to. £0,110? him, even

‘\,‘

 

have killed him then and there. I
went up to my room for mine—and
then I thought how much better it
would be to wait. I remembered how
he had kept me all those years for
himself; how‘bestially he had gloated
as my beauty grew; how he must be
planning, even now, how Jimmy Klire
would writhe if he could know what
was finally to become of his baby that
he had thought would die with him!
How much more complete my revenge
would be if I waited till we were mar-
ried; till the things he coveted and
had waited for, all those years with
the patience of a cat, were within an
hour or so of his grasp. Then, while
we sat before the fire, I would ask him
if he had ever known Ode Grant, and
Jimmy Klire, up on the Pigeon, and
then I would kill him.”

Chad Davis was leaning forward
now, waiting—waiting. The some-
thing that was not a part of himself
was hoping, praying, that she would
say that she had lied to him! That
she had killed Henry Coton herself!
The hope was unchristian, unworthy
perhaps, but he could not restrain it.

“Time after time that night it seem-
ed as if I could wait no longer. Time
after time I put my hand in upon the
pearl handle of the gun—but some-
thing seemed to hold me back. It was
almost as if someone had whispered
to me, with uncanny forcefulness,
‘Wait.’

“We sat there, minute after minute,
hour after hour. Oh, how the time
dragged! I couldn’t have stood it to
have sat there with him before the fire,
if he had talked much. He was
strangely silent, though. Thinking, I
suppose, and remembering. He made
no silly pretense of being in love with
me. No need for that now. Not once
during the whole long evening did he
refer to me as his bride, or sweet~
heart. Only when he looked full at
me, there had been each time, a. pe-
culiar smouldering gleam, far back in
his sunken eyes.” 4

Chad Davis was nodding slowly to
himself, without knowing it, as if he,
too, had seen some time that smoulder-
ing flame. —

“Merton, his secretary, and I, have
been at war the last three years. Ever
since he let me know that any time I
wanted to get away from Coton, I
could go with him, and he would take
care of details. He tried to press the

,thing a few times, but I finally con-

veyed to him that if it had to come
to either, I preferred Coton.

“So he wasn't at our wedding dinner
that night. W'ent out somewhere with
his crowd, I suppose. -He must have
come home unusually early, though, for
it was only about eleven by the mantel
clock, when we heard him come in.
Of course, I can’t be sure, but I sup-
pose 1t was him. He went upstairs,
and then, suddenly, I couldn’t wait any
longer! I got up and walked across
to the end of the mantel, where I could
stand, and look down into his face. '

FOL, I take it, was anoint I will
“attempt no definition of what a

. saint 13.. Make your own defini-
tion. But, howeVer you phrase it, do
not include the idea that a saint is
anyone ' soft :Elabrbsr or efflminate.
Some Words from our best known
American philosopher, William James,
tire to the} point ' “The great.- saints,
I the spiritual heroes whom everyone ac-
knowledges the Francise's, Bernards,
Luthers,_ Loyolas, Wesleys, Channings,
Moo'dys, the Phillips Brookses, are suc-
cesses from the outset. They show
themselves, and there is no question.
Eveiyone perceives their strength and
stature. Their sense of mystery in
things their passion, their goodness,
iriadiat'e about them and enlarge their
outlines {while they soften them. Plac-
ed alongside of them, the strong men
of this world seem dry as sticks, as.
hard and crude as blocks of stone, or
brickbats.”

When James says that the saints
are successes, he means that they are
successes in the
highest sense of
the word. They
may amas s no
* property, write no
' books, be elected
I to no office. and
not be registered
in Who’s Who.
But in the quali-
.-ties that enduxe,
as dwellers among the unseen ete1ni-
ties, as pilgrims of the infinite, these
people are Successful. “He that doeth
the will of God abideth forever.”

_ Paul was such. His heirs probably
paid no inheritance tax. But the world
has been richer and larger because he
lived.

Looking over the past, note that as
the end draws nigh, he enumerates
his friends. Read the chapters in to-
day’s lesson. He names a number of
people. These people had, some of
them, been with him in his imprison-
ment. Timothy he called his dearly
beloved son. Timothy had stood by
him, when standing by counts. Tychi—
cus had been there also, though we do
not know a great deal about him. He
writes to Timothy to bring Mark with
him and come back to Rome.
the man who had refused to go
through with the first missionary jour-
ney, and of whom Paul had a slight
opinion! ,But that is all past now.
That took place a. long time ago. Life
is too short to. hold grudges. Bring
Ma1k!

 

HE gospel had been received into

Caesar’s, household. The early
Christians were not all poor people.
Politicians and office holders of var—
ious types also embraced it.

It appears that there were two trials
of Paul. That is not certain, but from
expressions one may pick out here and
there, it looks that way. The first trial
went off well for Paul. He is encour-
aged and hopeful over the result. “The
things," he says, “which happened un-
to me have fallen out rather unto the
progress of the Good News; so that my
' bonds became manifest in the whole
Praetorium,” (Phil. 1:12). The Prae
torium was the entire body of men
connected with the trial; the judges,
guards, scribes, and all the rest. The
issue is so favorable that Paul is de-
lighted. Philippians, which was writ-
ten while he was a. prisone1, is hopeful
throughout. And it is almost certain
that he was acquitted in this first trial.
After that he lived for some three or
fOur years, probably.

‘ The second trial was much more se-
iver‘e than the first one. Onesiphorus
had much. trouble in finding him in
some. as he was. closely confined. He
~ "fared ill like a_ criminal ” (II Tim. 2:
9). He had small hope .of: acquittal.
He was “already being poured forth

 

like an offering, and the time of his

Mark, .

     

  

departure was at hand.” The hope-
lessoess of it all dismayed his friends,
who forsook him. II Timothy, which
is the. record, all the record we have,
of the second trial, sounds like the last
tgstament of a dying man.

But when all this is said and done,
what of death? Does death stop the
life of a man like Paul? “I have fought
the good flat)“, I have finished my
course”~—-suc words ring on across
the years, as daybreak follows the
night, and nothing can stop them.
Death is but a chapter in the life of
a man who wrote that the greatest
thing in- the world is hope, faith and
love. We all know that hopehfaith
and 10ve do not wait on death. They
are 'deathless. Death limps after them
like a man running after a. fleet horse.

N life or death, Paul is Victor. Had

he not written that nothing can sep-
arate us from the love of God that is
in Christ? Paul, we salute you. You
are alive today, more alive than ever
in the past, when you wearily trudged
the roads of Macedonia. You are a
living person in the world, a voice, a
power, that nothing can destroy.

To turn from Paul to the infant
Christ is but natural. For this eager,
omnivorous-minded, pursuing Paul,
was a follower of the Babe. We do
not hear much from Paul on the child-
hood of Christ, but we do hear much
on the Incarnation, and there is no
Incarnation without infancy and child-
hood.

Matthew and Luke have the stories
which children love, in connection with
Christmas. Matthew tells of the wise
men, and Luke tells of‘the shepherds
who watched their flocks and the choir
of singing angels. All miraculous,
strange, but beautiful and refreshing.
A wand is waved and we are all chil-
dren, once more. Pity the man or
woman who cannot become a child for
Christmas morning.

What is the hope of the morrow?
The little girl and boy who will get up
early next Friday morning and tiptoe
down stairs to see what nice things
await them there around the tree. How
are these young folk, boys and girls
to be trained? Will they be better than
you, the parents? You hope so. Prob-
ably you are hoping that they will not
have to work so hard as you have.
That is a. foolish wish. That is What
is the matter with a. lot of them today.
If they had to work harder they would
develop more muscle. But, at any rate,
it all lies with the child. Nothing so
brings hope and forward—looking
thoughts into the home as children.

And so—~the symbol of Christianity
is the Child! “Except ye be converted
and become as little children, ye can
in no wise enter~—”. And so the faith
in which you and I believe, entered
the world in the form of a Child. A
Child of good, strong parents, who
smelled of the soil. A Child of poor
people. A Child of a religious mother.
A Child of a mother of long, deep
thoughts, who “pondered all these
things in her heart.” A Child who was
trained in religion and began to think
for himself at the age of twelve.
(Which is about the age when most
people join the church). At Christmas
the Spirit of Childhood comes back to
the world. Would that it might stay
with us all the year!

An Account of Stewardship

 

F1111! years ago Dr. Alexander
Graham Bell was busy upon a
new invention—the telephone.
The first sentence had not been
heard; the pattern had not been
filed; the demonstration of the
telephone at the Centennial Ex-
position had not been made. All
these noteworthy events were
to occur later 1n the year 1876.
But already, at the beginning
of the year, the principle of the
new art had been discovered
and Bell’s experiments were
approaching a successful issue.
The inventor of the telephone
lived to see the telephone in
daily use by millions all over
the world and to see thousands
of 1nventions and developments
from his original discovery.

like had lived to this semi.
centennial year, he would have
seen over 16,000,000 telephones
linked by 40,000,000 miles of
wire spanning the American
continent and bringing the
whole nation within intimate
talking distance. He would
have seen in the Bell System,
which bears his name, perhaps
the largest industrial organiza-
tion in the world with nearly
$3,000,000,OOO worth of public-
serving property, owned chiefly
by its customers and employees.
' He would have seen devel-
oped from the product Of his
brain a new art, binding to-
gether the thoughts and actions
of a nation for the welfare of all
the people.

' ERSONALITY has a knack of
"cropping out” when we least ex-
pect it. While calling on a friend

of mine recently, she invited me to

her bedroom. Here I really found “per-
sonality personified.”

One corner of Mildred’s spacious
bedroom was given over to the wrap
ping of Christmas packages, and a.
view of that corner reminded one of
a glimpse into fairyland. It seemed
filled with her personality.

None of the usual holly papers, holly
ribbons, and red and green cords were
in evidence. Neither did I see any of
those jolly little Christmas cards and
folders. VBut on her dressing table
were piles of neatly boxed packages,
tied with ribbons; and in these rib-
bons and the tissue paper wrappings,
was the first secret of her charming
packages. You see, a person can hard-
ly think of Mildred without thinking
of soft, rosy colors, for she always
wears them. Thus she had put per-
sonality into her packages by wrap-
ping them in two sheets of tissue pa-
per laid together, one rose and one
white, with the white on the outside.
They were then tied with rose—colored
ribbons, and the only hint of the sea-

 

Merry Cbristmiis.’

OME is clothed with its

most beautiful garments at
this most human and kindly of
seasons. Our cold northern win-
ters make the fireside the center
of family charm, and absent
ones instinctively hie homeward
to imbibe its Christmas spirit
and joy.

It is my wish for you that
your home hearth may abound
in Christmas blessings. May
your Christmas day be bright
and hapDY, brightness radiated
from the Bethlehem star, and
happiness inspired by making
others happy.——Martha Cole.

 

 

 

'son to be seen on the outside of the
package was a bit of mistletoe caught
in the knot of ribbon.

On her desk were rolls of the paper,
and more ribbon, but the little cards
she was working on, held my atten-
tion. They were plain little mono~
grammed correspondence cards, and
on them she was penning original lit-
tle jingles to accompany the various

cially new to me, the verses were. She
allowed me to copy some of them, and
here they are, for what will add more
cheer to a holiday gift than a well—
chosen' and appropriate bit of rhyme.

With a thimble for a married sister:

It’s just a tiny Christmas gift
No bigger than a minute.

But tho it’s small I put a host
Of lovely-wishes in it.
Wlith a scarf for auntie:
I thot I’d send a fine sedan;

Next, thot I’d send a flivver.

sending now but this small scarf,

So please excuse the giver.

The above verse would be suitable
for various gifts, by changing the word
“scarf.”

. With a collar for cousin Mary:

‘I got a hunch you’d like a dress,

But all I have are patched;

So am sending you a dollar.

‘ Hope you’ll find a dress to match.

With a box of goodies for brother in

On such a tiny parcel;

Tho if the mice had but a chance,
.They’d find it no small morsel.
With a pair of gloves for Uncle:-
’Twas an airplane I’d planned to send
All shiny, bright and new;
But as my bank account is low,
A pair of gloves must do. ‘
This rhyme also will do for quite a
variety of gifts. '
With a pair of blankets for a. pair of
newlyweds: '
I’m sending you this Christmas morn,
By Santa’s flivver route,
A pair of blankets soft and warm
To keep the shivers out.

 

WIDE WOMEN NEED NARRoWER
SLEEVES

 

IDE sleeves for thin women, and

tight sleeves for short, stout
women, will make the thin women
look stouter, and the stout women
thinner.

Style books this fall are paying
more attention than usual to sleeves,
but they fail to suggest that all
sleeves cannot be all things to all
women.

It is the fashion now to have sleeves
long, and either wide or tight. The
width may hang free, or it may be
gathered at the wrist. The lower part
of the sleeve is often trimmed elab-
orately.

But what the style books don’t say
is, that there is danger in the choice
of sleeve. As always, width is the de—
ciding factor. Sleeve width added to
body width, makes a greater total
width. -

So the tall, thin woman can wear a.

wide sleeve. The more trimming on
the sleeve, the wider she will look.
Such a sleeve will make her arms ap-
pear shorter, too.

The long, tight sleeve is for the
short, stout woman. It carries the eye
up and down and helps to give the
figure height. Be sure no trimming is
used, no matter how little, for it will
add width to the figure.

Mothers’ College Course
By Julia E. Brckkc ‘
OMEONE has said cooperation therefore essential toward the success

means “so to work that~.others can
work with you.” Another has put
it in this positive form, that “coopera-
tion is civilization.” Extension work
programs are built on the principle of
cooperation. When the Smith-Lever
law was passed in 1914, which unified
and enlarged extension work through-
out the United States, it was unique
-in this respect, in that the entire suc-
cess of the enactment meant cooper-
ation, together with counsel, comrade-
ship and partnership.

The result has been that the farm-
ers themselves, and their wives, have
been made partners with their govern‘
ment—national, state, and county-_in
organizing, developing and carrying on
extension work in their respective
communities. “Our legislators builded
far better. than they knew when they
made the Smith—Lever Act a coopera-
tive act. It constitutes one of the
great” milestones in rural progress,”
writes Dr. C. B. Smith, Chief of the

ties, and a more complete life in the

Mother realizes as never before, that
home-making and housekeeping must
keep abreast with other inventions and
improvements of the age and is, there- ’
fore, learning the science of nutrition,
feeding her family for health and effi-
ciency, rather than to pamper the ap-
petites of the various members of her
family with fancy cooking. She learns
the value of her owu time and energy,
and to put the business of housekeep-
ing on a professional basis. She learns
that mother must be a companion to
her family, as well as a.servant, to
thus maintain that balance and poise
So essential to family life.

When is a Family We“ Fed? u
When the various members of that
family register health through action
and appearance. Mother knows, for
she uses a health score card as ,a meas-
—-uring stick for the various members
of the family. She recognizes as she
proceeds in her course in nutrition,
that her own family is far too precious*
to experiment on them.

The nutrition specialist plans the
courses, taking into consideration the
entire family and bringing to the busy
housewife the result of research and
study, that both Mary and Johnny, as
well as daddy and grandmother, may
develop into strong,‘ healthy,’ useful
citizens.

Adventures of Tilly and Billy

T he Moure’: Merry C/Irz'rtma:

HE minute Tilly Tumble spied

the little field mouse in her old

shoe, she flopped the tongue
down and pinched the top tight to-
gether.

“No, sir, little field mouse, you aren’t
going to run away from me again,”
said Tilly. “Come here, Billy, I’ve
found the little runaway rascal,” she
called to Billy, who was searching for
the little mouse in the hallway.

"Where is he?” asked Billy, as he
spied Tilly holding her old shoe.

“Right in there," said Tilly, pointing
to her old shoe.

“Not a very nice house for a little

find a better place for him.”

Then Billy Bounce and Tilly Tumble
put their two little heads together to
plan what they would do next with
the little field We This meant
“something Ins sure to happen.

It always did, when these two little
friends got their heads together.

So this was how it came about that
the little gray field mouse found him-
self being dumped from Tilly’s old
shoe into a. bird cage.

The little mouse had never seen
such a queer house before. He could
see out all about him, yet he could not
get out.

For many days the little mouse lived
in this cage. Then one morning when
Tilly came to give him food and water;

she found him curled up in a little hell i

mouse, for she couldn’t understand one 5

word of mouse language, so she just
sat down to think about it. . Looking

out of the Window, she spied a little]
black streak scurrying under a shock‘

of pop corn out in the garden. She
ran over to Billy’s house to tell him
all about it, and the two were soon
back to investigate. All they could
find were hundreds of little tracks in
the snow, and a little hole in the
ground under the corn shock, but they
guessed the rest of the story. Some
little field mice lived here.

“The little field mice are getting
ready for their Christmas dinner. Our
little field mouse is very sad because
he can’t be with them," said Billy,
thoughtfully.

"He can’t have a merry Christmas
in that cage all alone," said Tilly.

Dear Santa:

As the cold north wind blows over
the fields, and the soft white snow
falls silently to earth, and you leave
your home in the cold, barren North
to bring each and everyone a gift,
please bring this earth a gift that shall
never be forgotten.

Bring to us a great peace and joy,
a peace and joy throughout this whole
world that all shall feel and enjoy.

Let there be such a great peace that
this whole world shall be as one great
and good nation, and that all men
shall be as brothers, regardless of race
or color.

Let every bell that rings, peal out
the word Peace! Peace! Peace! And
every echo sound Peace, Peace, Peace!

With the coming of such a peace,
everyone would think of that first
Christmas, when the angels sang,
“Peace on earth and good will to men.”

Believes Contests Are Good.

I suppose I am too late to get in
on the Parents’ Week, but I will write
anyway. '

I think the Merry Circle is a good
thing, for it makes the children take
an interest in reading; and I think
they learn when they read.

I think the Read-and-Win Contests
are the best, as the children have to-
read the diflerent parts of the paper;
and in that way they read interesting
topics which otherwise they would fail
to notice—Mrs. M. S. Greca.

Dear Santa Claus:
' I do not want to ask too much
of you; but I presume you are
willing to help me, as you are a
kind and dear, loving, old man.
Well, it won’t be very long be‘
fore we will hear the bells ringing,
the children singing, and carols

come flying from everyone’s
mouth. Truly, that’s when I will
“laugh.” But, most of all, I like

to see Santa stumble about, open
a pack, and hand out toys for good
little boys and girls.

I would like him to hand me a
nice new dress, with stockings to
match, and a box crammed full of

. good candies and nuts, for I con~
sider I’ve been good.

But, dear me! There’s lots of
things I would like, but I don’t
want to tire you of making out my
list, for it is such a short time be-
fore Christmas, and there are so
many for you to remember.

But please don’t forget mother
and father, who are waiting, too,
for their gifts; nor dear little
brother, who sits by, waiting for
his rub-a-dub—dub; or little sister,
sitting near by, biting her tongue
and looking at a big wax doll.

Well, I must close, as it will
tire you out to read this letter.—
From a want-to—be Merry Circler,
Helen Staufter.

 

Dear Santa: \

This year I am not going to ask for
anything for myself, but for others
who need it worse than I. Please give
my presents to some poor children who
have never had a real Christmas, and
I will receive more joy than as if you
had given them to me. Thank you,
Santa; I will think of how happy they
will be when they receive them.——Your
friend, Francis Hill.

Blessings on thee, little dame,
Barebacked girl with knees the same;
With thy turneddown silken hose,
And thy thin, transparent clothes,
With thy red lips reddened more,
Smeared with lipstick from the store;
With thy make—up on thy face.

VERSE CONTEST SOLUTION.

 

'ERE is the correct-solution of the
verse contest. In the last line

either “it’s” or “ ’tis” could be used.

Think big and your deeds will grow;
Think small and you’ll fall behind;
Think that you can and you will,
It’s all in the state of mind.

MANURE SHOULD BE SAVED.

and expense is little, as compared with
the saving assured in cleaning the
hen-house.

The fine thing about the properly
constructed dropping board is that the
poultry manure is easy to save. One
would be surprised to know just what
he is losing daily if he is not conserv-

i

l

ing the manure from the farm flock.

Experiments show that chickens make i

a great deal of manure, and when pre-
served and cared for, supplies a valu-
able ingredient to enrich the soil.

To save the manure it should be kept
dry, as it is high in water, nitrogen,
and phosphoric acid and potash. Thus
a good absorbent must be put on the
dropping boards, or under the perches
if dropping boards are not used. 'The
absorbent mostly recommended and
used, is equal parts of land plaster and
loam. This mixture is inexpensive and
serves the purpose very well. Many
farmers might use sifted ashes with
every assurance of success. Ground
phosphate rock is often used.

Sawdust and shavings are used, but
not recommended. Not so much be-
cause their use will cause any serious
loss of the fertilizing constituents from
the manure, but more so because their
continued use will injure the land.
Lime is also objectionable because it
liberates the ammonia which contains
the nitrogen. It is well to put the
droppings into a receptacle that can be
closed tight enough to prevent the
rain from leaching them.

“here the farmer has only a small
flock, he may spread the droppings
upon the garden and other truck
patches, as soon as it is made. If no
better means are available, the manure
may be put in barrels until a. conven-
ient time to haul away. Chicken ma-
nure is especially valuable for vegeta—
ble growers and gardeners—H. Q. H.

ley and rye—are comparatively cheap,
and will be used more liberally than
usual this winter. In the sugar beet
sections the beet tops will also fill a.
"more needed place‘ in the ration than
before. They are really a valuable
feed, a fact which does not seem to
be generally appreciated, judging from
the careless way in which we see so
many of them overfed and wasted. To
get the best results from feeding beet
tops, they should be fed in combina-
tion with dry, non-laxative foods, such
as corn fodder, or straw, or clover hay,
and then not in too great quantities.
Cows will keep in the pink of condi-
tion when fed beet tops as a part ra-
tion, and, if not overfed, I consider
them the equal of corn silage. Cows
(like them and, ifrallowed, will eat large
quantities of them. Fed too liberally,
they become a poison, and are very
purgative.

On our term we are handling the
cattle much the same as we did last
winter, and as told in these columns.
About a. bushel of beet tops per head
are fed night and morning, along with
corn fodder and one feed of hay, (al-
falfa or clover), at noon. The bean
pods, such as they are, will be used
liberally for bedding. There will be
little danger of the cattle eating of
them to excess. Some of the cows
that are suckling calves may need to
go into the boxes and get a taste of
grain to keep them in smooth condi-

ewe lambs until you are sure what
they are worth. ‘

I always look upon my ewe lamb
crop as a resource for strengthening
and intensifying desirable characteris-
tics in the flock. There is always an
opportunity for improvement. in mut-
ton type and quality of wool.E By se-
lecting regularly the ewe lambs that
possess proper type and a superior
quality of wool, one can do this. I
aim to keep the same number of ewe
lambs each season, that I sell of old
ewes, so that I not only keep up the
size 9f my dock, but constantly im-
prove the standard of my flock as
well.——Leo C. Reynolds.

 

 

COW TESTING WORK CONTINUES
TO GROW IN MlCHlGAN.
FOR the month of October, 107 cow

testing associations were operat-
ing in Michigan, from which there
have been eighty-five reports received.
at the dairy extension office. VA total
of 2,088 herds have been tested in
the eighty-five associations reporting.
These herds have'a grand total of 23,-
072 cows under test. inrwh'ich 4,587
were listed as dry cows. Dairy pro-
duction is apparently on the upturn.
compared with the month of Septem-
ber. There are 541 cows listed in the
October report, against 415 in the Sep- ~
tember report, which have produced
over fifty pounds of butter-fat. Anoth-
er interesting item found in the 00-
tober summary is that 230 cows were

“About ninety per cent of the stuff written about
‘The Variety of Proteins’ in pure bank. The feeder
who has corn, oats, silage, alfalfa, clover and
hayl need: only one other feed—Corn Gluten Feed."

Sodeclares one of our biggest authorities on feeding.
He says that variety is a very simple thing-easy to
understand by any farmer who knows his animals.

The purpose of variety is to make the ration mre
palatable. If there is any other virtue in variety, you get
it in your alfalfa, clover and other leguminous roughage.

Feed our com, oats. silage and clover hay—with Com
Gluten eed. You will then make meat or milk at the
lowest cost per 100 lbs. ln proper combination you get
the variety your animals want and the protein they need.

Beef cattle make chea er gains on Com Gluten Feed
than on grain alone. airy cows almost double their
yield with Com Gluten Feed in their ration. This prac-
tical feed lot experience can not be changed by theories.

The rice of com does not change its analysis. Sell
someo your com and buy Com Gluten Feed to supply
the rotein lackin in your grain. Tell us what you are
feeding and we wi l suggest the right ration for you.

We want to help you get more out of your home grown
feeds. Write us for advice on feeding. Get your supply
at" Com Gluten Feed from your dealer or from any menu-

cturer.

WHEAT

After advancing into new high
ground for the season, wheat prices
have declined sharply in the last few
days. Crop news from the southern
hemisphere is less stimulating on
world prices. The domestic cash situ-
ation is not becoming noticeably tight-
er at present, and the market‘ is more
responsive to bearish speculative pres-
sure. The market has advanced over
40 cents from the low point two
months ago, and is not in as favorable
a position for a further rise as it was
on lower ground. Receipts of wheat
at domestic markets are holding up
better than usual at this season of the
year, as the advance in prices has
stimulated selling by producers. .

CORN

Corn prices have» advanced moder-
ately in spite of the heaviest receipts
in more than ten years, and substan-
tial additions to the visible supply.
Speculative accumulation seems to be
under way, and industrial and feeding
demand is more active than a month
back. Export demand is showing up
right along. Argentine corn prices
have advanced sharply in the last two

days.
OATS

The oats market got out of the rut
in the last ten days. Broader specu-
lative interest was a factor, and cash
demand is gradually gaining on the
movement to primary markets.

HAY

Increased arrivals, and weather con—
ditions more favorable for more lib-
eral country marketings forced hay
prices lower at some markets, but oth-
ers were firm because of light sup-
plies. Alfalfa hay is relatively strong-
er than other kinds.

EGGS

Fresh egg prices declined sharply
in the past week. The season is at
hand when a gradual increase in re-
ceipts of fresh eggs can be expected,
and the weather has been favorable
for normal production. Poultry prices
have strengthened in the last few
days. Receipts of dressed poultry at
the leading markets in the last two
weeks have been lighter than in the
same period a year previous, and the

BUTTER- .

Butter prices declined slightly lathe
past week. Creamery production is
larger than a year ago, and receipts at
the four leading «markets have—been
heavier than a year previous. every-
week since the middle of October. Re-
cently, they have been the largest on
record at this season. Storage butter
has not been moving out as freely as
desired. . .

Prices on 92-score creamery: Chi-,
cago 46%c; New York 490. In Detroit
fresh creamery in tubs sells for 43@
450 per pound. F

POTATOES

Potato prices in western markets
sagged off a little last week. The re-
cent advance attracted increased ship-
ments which easily took care of the
demand. A wide range in quality is
apparent, resulting in an equally wide
range in prices. Frosted potatoes are
more frequent, and quality, on the
whole, is said to be inferior to that of
a month ago. Northern round whites,
U. S. No. 1, are quoted at $3.25@3.80
per 100 pounds in the Chicago cariot

market.
BEANS

After declining to $4.90 early in the
past week, bean prices advanced to
$5.05 at the close of the week for C. H.
P. whites, f. o. b. Michigan shipping
points. Buyers were numerous on the
decline, but demand fell off rapidly on
the advanCe. A quiet market until
after the holidays is generally ex-
pected.

lonia 00., Dec. 6.—-The past has been

afair year for the farmers in this sec-
tion.. Potatoes were harvested with-
out much loss. Possibly thirty pl?
cent of the sugar beets are still int
ground. Some apples were frozen on
the trees. There was a heavy crop of

 

_ corn, but. much is yet to be hushed.

A large amount of fall glowing is be-
ing done. Stock is in no condition.

Bay 00., Dec. 6.—-Potatoes were not
a big crop in this section. he farm-

the result of some old injury, or some
previous ailment of the eye.
