THE PERFECT MOTOR OIL

Stays on the Job

 
 

A farmer, facing the problem of harvesting his wheat which
already was over- -ripe, picked up four likely looking men who
said they wanted work.

He drove them home, relieved at the thought that his crop was
safe and that evening set them down to a hearty dinner. The next
morning when he was ready to start for the field they appeared in
their city clothes and said they thought they would go back to town.

The dismayed farmer asked thern if they were dissatisfied
for any reason. No, they said, they liked the place all right, but
they had decided they didn’t want to work after all.

Some lubricating oils are like that. They look all right. They
get all ready for work, covering metal surfaces with a thin protective
film. Then when the time ‘comes to do their work, they quit on the
job. They break under the strain of heat and friction.

The consequences of their failure are serious. Metal surfaces
come together, dirt and grit do their grinding work of destruction,
and vital parts of the engine are gradually eaten away.

To find an oil that will not quit on the job is one of the
farmer’s most important problems.

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) recommends Polarine.
Its lubricating staff has solved this problem for the farmer, after
years of experimenting with every make of tractor under every
possible temperature condition.

Polarine—the perfect motor oil for tractors, is made to fit the
needs of each type. It protects metal surfaces with a film of oil that
never breaks down —~no matter what the conditions. A machine
lubricated with Polarine runs smoothly and lasts long. The farmer
knows that he can depend on Polarine, as he can depend on all the
products of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana).

Consult chart for correct grade of Polarine
for your motor. Change your oil frequently.

Fits the Corn CrOp to the Land

How the Writer Secure: Hzgé lie/(2’5 oz; Uneven SUI/5
By Garfield Farley

ORN'is Michigan’s leading culti-

vated farm crop, and probably

will be for some time to come.
Our average'yearly acre yield of corn
will compare favorably with the best
and largest corn producing states. In
fact, our average yields are more often
than otherwise above those of the sur-
plus corn producing states.

Yet, while some other states are
burdened with surpluses of corn to
such an extent as to bear the price to
a figure well below cost of production,
and thus make for very unsatisfactory
farm and business conditions, here in
Michigan, because of our well-balanced
dairy and live stock industries, our
nearness to the best markets 'in the
world, we could produCe much more
corn than we do, and still have a hand-
sOme profit.

\Ve grow on Farley Fruit Farm
around fifty acres of corn annually.

‘Enough of this is used each year to

fill a 140-ton silo. What is left we use
wholly for the grain. It is, therefore,
good business practice to secure as
high a yield of good sound corn~per
acre as possible.

It is our method of doing this which
I will tell you about. Itmight prop-
erly be called making the corn crop
fit the ground, for that is just exactly
what it amounts to. »

We have tried many different meth-
ods in corn growing: Checking, drill-
ing, hand-planting, etc., finding each
one lacking somewhere along the line
during the season. Checked cow is
easily kept clean; but if cutworms,
gophers, or rootworms are had, many
long blanks will appear. In a. very dry
year three stalks per hill are too
many, especially on side hills and on

the lean or light places in the soil.
We drill all our corn now, using a.
combination fertilizer attachment run-

ning about 150 pounds of acid phos—

phate per acre. We have tried 2-12-2
and other-formulas many times, and
the acid phosphate does all that is re-
quired for us.~ '

We set the drill to plant from ten
to twelve inches in the row, often two
kernels drop at once, which make a
very thick stand.

This corn is usually harrowed twice
with a spike-tooth drag before it is up.
Soon after the first cultivation we
commence this method of making the
corn fit the ground by thinning with
the hoe. The stalks are left from ten
to thirty inches apart in the row; ordi-
narily about one—half are cut out.

In doing this, the weaker plants are

removed. On the steeper side hills
and thin portions of the field, the
plants are thinned to thirty inches

Portable Picker.

apart, while in hollows and the better
portions a large ear can be expected
with the stand running from ten to
twenty inches.

On our type of soil, and under our
conditions, this seems to give us the
ideal stand.

Three of us generally work at this
job, which can be done at the rate of
from three to four acres a day per
man. Many times on days when it is
just a little too wet to cultivate, or at
odd times when the corn is from three
to twelve inches high, we sharpen the
hoes and work at this task.

The stalks should be taken out, root
and all, just cutting off will result in
a lot of suckers, and many times a.
poor, weak plant, or a 'few suckers
will draw just enough from its neigh—
bor in moisture food to make the dif-
ference between success and failure,
for that particular plant.

This job will cost around $1.00 per
acre and, on our type of soil, and with
our conditions, will easily add from
ten to twenty baskets per acre, with
very few nubbins, and make a field of
corn we are not ashamed to have in-
spected.

For eighteen years or more we have
followed the practice of turning hogs
and cattle into from fifteen to thirty
acres of corn. \Vhile they have not
always made quite as much in dollars
and cents, perhaps, as though we had
harvested the Crop by hand, yet they
have saved us an immense amount of
hand labor and thoroughly enjoyed
themselves at the same time.

Thus our whole object in growing a
corn crop was to produce the maxi-
mum amount of grain per acre, we
could do it in no other way than to
make the crop fit the land.

Increasing 4 Spraying Efficiency

"Some Details Mat Mel/5e a Great Deflerenee in Rem/l5

q- S the spraying season approach- ‘

es, a few important essentials to

successful work may be noted.
Several things are necessary in order
to secure efficient and satisfactory re-
sults. The proper material must be
applied at the right time and in the
proper manner. 'Very much depends
on the, last, and it is of this we wish
to write at this time.

A good pressure with the pump is
an important matter, and there are a
number of things .afl’ecting this, that
are so small as_ to escape the notice of
one‘who is not familiar with all of
the details of the operation. For, if

'from any cause the pressure is too

low, a shower is produced instead of a
fine mist, and the results are not so
good. Nor are all parts of the tree
reached, as the carrying capacity is
much less.» If a person has a hand
pump equipped with the proper nozzle,
a pressure of eighty to 100 pounds
:may be obtained, and fairly good work
may be done with such an outfit, but
in commercial orchards power rigs are
in general use, and with the quantity
out a much high-

perienced orchardists agree, I think,
that from 225 to 250 pounds is about
right. Some think 300 pounds none
too low, but my owu opinion is that
equally as good results are obtained
with the lower pressure mentioned,
and when it runs above 250 pounds the
troubles with bursting hose and var-
ious leaks in connections and joints,
both in 'hose and pump, rapidly in-
crease. Experiments have been made
With pressures all the way as high as
800 pounds, and careful observations
may show some economies in saving
both in material and time, but with
the ordinary orchardists these are too

"small to be very important, and such‘

high pressures are hardly feasible. _
But a characteristic of spray rigs

"generally is that while the pressure

may. be—~and usually is at the start—
all right, it gradually runs down, and
the cause. of this slow decrease is"ob—
soure.’ This is ordinarily due to two
causes, both on account‘of wear, one

,in the pump and the other in the noz- ’
..»'zl'e'. ; Thev'old. style .of. pump, which is

     

By Edward Hutchins.

still used to some extent, has a single
plunger out of sight, and this is sure

to wear and allow the liquid to flow'

past it, and in time allows the pres-
sure to become too low for effective
service, yet to a person not accustom-
ed to such a machine, the cause of the
disease is scarcely more than a
guess. The stuffing box through which
the plunger rod passes soon begins to
leak, but this can be seen and the
packing tightened, but not so with the
plunger, which is inside of the cylin—
der and out of sight. When there is
much fall of pressure this is usually
the seat of the difficulty and it. is nec-
essary at once to take out the piston
and renew the packing around it.

' The style of pump with the plung-
ers, usually two or three in number, in
sight, and with the packing under a
band around the plunger at the top
of the cylinder are more reliable and
more easily adjusted, as the leak can
be readily seen and stopped“ simply
“by screwing downthe attachment for
this purpose and without having to

take the whole pump apart. It is a
’simple and easy task to keep these
pumps from leaking. We have used
one. a whole season, and done a lot of
work with it without so much as re-
newing the packing. If new packing
is needed a strip of stout cloth, like
bed-ticking, perhaps an inch wide, and
folded, makes a good and durable
supply.

Another cause‘of reduced pressure,
and equally unsuspected, is the wear
in the nozzle. The liquid flowing
through the opening in the nozzle at
a high pressure as it does, gradually
wears this away and a larger differ-
ence in its capacity than one would
suspect, is caused. It is a principle in
mathematics that a square described
on a given line is four times as large
as one described on half that line. A
two-inch square (has four times the
area of a one-inch square. The same
principle applies to circles, and as the
round opening in the nozzle wears
away, its area increases very rapidly
and allows the liquid to flow through
much more freely.
pressure is very materially reduced.

CURRENT COMMENT

0 man has achiev-

 

Farmer ed greater suc-
cess in this state, as

and measured by the num-
Statesman ber of sinCere friends

and admirers made in
public life, than did former Governor
John T. Rich, whose funeral was held
at Lapccr last Saturday. He was a
public servant of the old school, at
once modest in seeking public prefer-
ence, and fearless in the performance
of public duty as prompted by a strong
sense of right and justice.

When about thirty years of age, af-
ter he had served his towuship as
supervisor, a delegation called at his
farm home in Elba township, to urge
him to accept the republican nomina-
tion for the legislature,-hc expressed
the fear that he was not qualified for
the office. But he was finally induced
to accept and was elected, although
the district had a strong democratic
majority. He soon demonstrated his
quality of leadership and became
speaker of the house during his fourth
term.

He was early recognized
gubernatorial material, and in 1892
was elected governor of the state. As
chief executive he was confronted by

‘a more disagreeable duty than .per-
haps any other governor has been
called upon to perform. He performed
it in a manner characteristic of the
man. This duty was to remove from
office, under the stigma of having ben-
efited by election frauds, three of the
five state officers, elected on the same
ticket with him the previous Novem-
ber, as well as the lone democrat elect-
ed the same year. This he did on his

as good

own initiative before a public tribunal
had passed on their guilt or innocence.
"Later the supreme court sustained his
action.

' Governor Rich was re-elected two‘

     

years later by. the largest majority
ever given‘a. candidate for state office

after- removal of the incumbent of
that office for cause, although he was
then sixty-six years of age.

Governor Rich was a man whose
sterling integrity was never question-
ed, even by his most partisan oppon-
ents. His demise is mourned and his
memory revered by many thousands
of staunch friends and admirers made
during his public career.

HE Farm Crops

Another Department of the
C Michigan State Col-
or" lege is now enrolling
Contest men in the Five~acre

Corn Growing Con-
test for 1926. These men will keep
records on the amount of fertilizer
and seed corn used, and the time
spent in preparing the seed-bed, plant-
ing and Cultivating the crop.

In the fall, a representative of the
Michigan State College is sent to se-
cure the yields on each of these dif-
ferent fields. Prizes are awarded on
the basis of the differenCe between
the value of the corn and the costs, as
determined from each man's record
sheet.

Last year, there were three men who
grew one hundred bushels of shelled
corn per acre. The contest was very
interesting to those enrolled, and if
any of our readers wish to join they
should write to the Farm Crops De-
partment, Michigan State College, East
Lansing, Michigan, for detailed infor-
mation.

It is our firm conviction that any
progressive farmer will profit beyond
measure by participating in such ef-
forts, and those who have good corn
land should, from perfectly selfish mo-
tives, enter the corn contest this year.

I

OME progress was

made last week in

Erogress agricultural relief leg-
"1.170”?! islation. At least the
Legislatlon organizations asking
for such legislation

have agreed as to the details of the
measure, which they feel congress
should pass. A statement of these de-
tails has been submitted to the house
committee.

Among these particulars are provis-
ions for a federal farm advisory board,
a federal farm board, and an equaliza-
tion fund. The measure classes wheat,
cotton, cattle and hogs as basic agri-
cultural products. Corn, they hold, is
reached through hogs and cattle. To
handle the surpluses of these four
basic products, it is proposed that a
producers’ export
formed.

The friends of this measure further
hold that it does not put the govern-
ment in the business of either buying
or selling farm products; nor does it
involve government price fixing, or re-
quire a government subsidy, since the
funds asked for are to be reimbursed
from the equalization fee collections.

Hearings on agricultural relief leg-
islaion are also under way before the
senate committee on agriculture. Here
the farmers are having a more friendly
reception. Senator Gooding, of Idaho,
declares that our new civilization is on
a higher cost plane with every group
advanced to this new standard except
the farmer. And he is, in fact, being
penalized for, while his crops prices
hold close. to the 01d pro-war basis, he
is paying from fifty to a hundred per
cent more for the things he needs.

Prof. J. F. Cox. of the Michigan
State College, interpreting to the com-
mittee agricultural conditions in this
state, declared that, while there has

been a great increase in industrial.

population during the past five years.
land values have decreased. He be-
lieves the measure submitted by the

corporation be,

Milk Associati ..
deducting from each check on a. pro
rata basis, a portion of the gloss sus-
tained in disposing of surplusmilk on
distant markets. This plan- involves a.
similar principle to that which the
committee is endeavoring to incorpor-
ate in this bill.

Here are a. few sidelights on the is-_

sue: Millers are much disturbed over
the proposed scheme of collecting the
equalization fee and are said to be
opposing the measure. Not all farm-
ers' organizations are behind the bill.
Another group from the middle west
contend that the opening of the St.
Lawrence Waterway will give the
farmers all the relief that is neces-
sary.

While .we have not been convinced
of the practical phases of the different
proposals made to equalize the farm-

ers: economic position with that of

other groups, we do believe that the
issue is one commanding the profound
and careful attention of all thoughtful
farmers.

HERE are three
“Setting kinds of people,
in t he those who forge ahead
_ , unhampered with prej-
Breechlng ’ udices, those who hold
back and look upon
changes with suspicion, and those in
between.
' Some folks wear out their breeching
straps long before they do their tugs.
They are not aware that changes are
rapidly taking place in every activity
of life. And not until everybody has
accepted a change in thought or ac-
tion, they do acquiesce in it.” They
blind themselves to facts through
their prejudices. .They cling to old
and crude methods of farming or
household work because they hate to
make changes. They fail to realize
that life itself is change.

It is interesting to note that Presi—
dent Little, of the University of- Mich—
igan, has found that the majority of
those whose names are in “Who’s
Who," are liberal in thought regarding
religion and other essentials of life.
”Through their openimindedness they
have found the way to progress. When
change is guided by facts, progress is
”certain. It pays a person to occasion-
'ally say “Get-up” to himself.

A piety is spice in

Question ing it isn’t. A variety

of varieties has
been one of the great-
est hindrances 'in modernizing the
fruit growing business of Michigan.

In industry they have found that a
little of everything, and not much of
anything, does not pay. The biggest
successes have been made by those
who have standardized, who have lim-
ited themselves to certain types or
models and increased the efficiency of
their production.

This factor in industrial success is
also a factor in agricultural success.
Limiting the production of an individ-
ual, or a. community, to certain kinds
of farming has proven profitable. Hol-
stein centers in dairy cattle, Leghorn
centers in poultry, a community prom-
inent in certain 'types of hogs, have
all proven their value in making farm-
ing profitable.

Standardization in certain varieties
have also worked out successfully.
Centers for growing alfalfa seed, cer-
tain types of corn, potatoes, or other
farm‘crops have more successful farm-
ers than where there is no unity of
action. ,' . .

Setnn’ Up ,

I’M writin’ this in bed, settin' up.

You know I used ta think if a fel-
low could do the things he had ta.
without gettin' up, it’d be just 0. K.,
’cause gettin’ up is the hardest thing
a fellow kin do. But now I’d like get-°
tin’ up better/'n settin’ up. ‘

That just goes ta show that we kin
get too much of anythin', even stayin’
in bed. The thing we’d 'most like ta.
do, we wouldn’t like ta do if we had
ta do it all the time. For inst, I like
my eatin', but I couldn’t eat all the
time, nor wou1d_I
like ta, do without
eatin’ all the
time. Either doin'
without eatin’ or
eati’n' all the time
would kill a fol-
low. I don’t know
which would kill
him the quickest.

So, I guess the
world is kinda all right, after all.\VVe
gotta. have our work so we kin enjoy
our pleasures. I feel sorry for the fel-
low what makes work outa‘ pleasure.
but the one what kin make pleasure
outa work is havin' a good time all
the time. ,

Life is what the perfessor calls." a
matter 0' contrast. If we don’t know
what wealth is We don’t know what
The only one what knows
what they are is the one what’s ex-
perienced both. Those folkses what
has had it easy all the time can’t ap-
preciate pleasure as much as the one
what has also had sadness.

We’re all lookin’ for the time and
place where all is sunshine, no storms, ‘
no clouds, nothin’ but pleasure. Well,
life ain't that way. We’ve all got ta.
pay fer what we get outa life. But, it
seems ta most 0’ us that somebody
else is gettin' the good things 0’ life
for less than we are. That’s 'causo
we don't know about all the other fel—

 

low is got ta. contend with.

You see, while the measels‘is got
ahold ‘0' me, I’ve been doin' some phil~
osophyin'. And it looks mighty good
on paper.

But if it wasn’t for taxes and'work,
and the money I ain’t got, I’d get along
pretty fine. Now, if I was a doctor
I'd have a better time. I’d just go
around and say hello to folkses, leave
a pill and send a bill. I'd get paid fer
vis'itin’ the sick, what’d get well any-
how. But, the other day our M. D.
said he just hoped some day ta be able
ta. own and work a. farm. He thinks
there's nothin' like farmin’, ’cause he
don’t know nothin' about it. Sofie says

ROHIBITION was an important
factor in the twenty-seven per

‘ cent increase in milk consumption
which occurred between 1918 and 1924,
’according to a nation-wide question-
naire- -survey conducted by the Illinois
Agricultural Association. ,

Fifty‘one leading dairy experts em-.

plbyed as heads of dairy departments
- of agricultural colleges, agricultural
,agents of railroads, managers of co-
operative milk distributing agencies
and milk dealers answered the ques-
tionnairewhich was sent out by 1A. D.
Lynch. director of the association’s de-
partment of dairy marketing.

Of the fifty~one, thirty- three definite-
ly stated that prohibition has had an
effect upon the increasing consump-
tion of milk by the American public,
seven said “no,” and eleven were non-
cOmmittal.

The opinion as to the degree of ef-
fect of the Volstead Act varied from
fifty per cent to “very little,” with a
majority attributing about one-fourth
of the increase to scarcity of beer,
wine and other intoxicating liquors.

“I amvinclined to give prohibition
credit for twenty-five per cent of our
increase in fluid milk sales,” wrote C.
E. Hough, general manager of the Con-
necticut Milk‘Producers’ Association
at‘Hartford, “I think this could be di-
vided to represent the better buying
power of the family of the man who
formerly spent too much of his income

; for liquor. ” 1
"I think one-third of the increase is
‘ due to p1 ohibition ” stated B. F. Beach,
assistant secretaiy of the Michigan
Milk Producers’ Association at De-

isplaces leer

trait. “This is accounted for by the
fact ‘that' in factories it is common
practice for workmen to drink milk
with their noon-day lunch, While in the
pre—prohibition days it was a common
thing to drink beer and eat lunch in a
saloon near a factory. There is also
greater thrift today on account of pro-
hibition, thereby enabling the people
to buy milk more freely."

“This matter has been discussed re-
peatedly by our officers," wrote H. R.
Leonard, manager of the Twin City
Milk Producers’ Association, St. Paul,
Minn, “and they are unanimous in
their opinion that prohibition is re-
sponsible for a large part of the in-
creased sales of milk and other dairy
products. We meet monthly with the

'distributors of milk in the Twin Cities
and they tell us that one of the fea-
tures of their business now is to take

care of the noon-day demand for milk ,

on construction jobs. It is not unusual
to see four or five milk wagons parked
along the curb where a large construc-
tion job is in progress. VVorkmen did
not drink milk before prohibition.
There has also been a very marked in-
creased demand for butter and ice
cream. We attribute a large part of
this to the fact that housewives have

more money to spend than in pre-pro—y,

hibition days. ”

“My opinion is that fifty per centg
of this increase is due to prohibition, :
and fifty percent to advertising, and ‘
telling the value of milk!” stated 13.1

A Herd of Michigan Angus of the Smooth, Tidy, Pony Type that Matures

Early Into

Pro-fits from the Roadside

By M. E. George 4

AS we motor through the country
we never fail to notice and admire
the well-kept 1oadsides One reason
why we notice these, is that there are,
comparatively speaking, so few of
them. -
Twelve years ago the road in front
of the writer’s farm was regraded, be-
ing made into a state award road. The
next spring we dragged the roadside
along the farm until it was in a well-
pulverized condition, then broadcasted
a. small amount of cats on it, and seed-
ed it to clover and alfalfa, dragging
the cats and seeding in at the same
time. When the cats were in the right
condition for hay, we cut them, raked
them up and hauled to the barn. This
we did to allow the seeding a better
chance to get a good start.

Each year since then we have cut
the hay, which is mostly alfalfa, from
two to three times a year. This has
wyielded along an eighty-rod stretch,
from three-fourths of a ton to a ton
of hay each year. Not only have We
had the satisfaction of securing this
’ hay at almost no expense, but it has

been the means ’of keeping the road-
side looking as it should, attractive,
and entirely free from weeds ‘

  
 
 
  
  

idea is similar til/that of our ladies

,‘with the new coat that they have al- .

Prime Beef.

times when we were shy of hay for
the horses, it filled in as an emergency
helper until the hay in the fields was
ready for harvesting.

The hog lot is along a part of this
roadside, and we mowed some of this
alfalfa as much as four~and five times
a year by hand, for the hogs when
there was no other green feed avail-
able .that we could harvest for them.
We even fell back on it for the milk
cows during the dry part of the sum-
mer season when the pasture in the
fields was in poor shape, mowing~ it
with a scythe and carrying in a fork
full (if the green alfalfa to each cow.

Any farmer can make it a practice
to mow his roadside with a two-horse
mowing machine two or three times
a year, even though nothing but June
grass and weeds are growing. This
takes. but a. small amount of time and
keeps the weeds from going to seed,
as well as affording the satisfaction
of having a well-kept roadside along
his farm.

Once we get the habit of keeping
our roadside in an attractive condi-
tion, the pride we get from it will sort
of urge" us to keep the rest of the farm
in the same attractive condition. The

HE move in congress to restore

to the states the power to pro-
claim embargoes and quarantines to
meet threatened invasions of insects

resolution introduced in the senate by
Senator Jones, of "Washington. It was
said at the hearings on this resolution
that this authority is needed to en-
force the ruling against the importav
tion of propagation of black cur-rant
bushes which are responsible for the
spread of the white pine blister.

WOMEN OPPOSING FARMERS
INTERESTS.

 

NEMIES of the protective tariff

system are being aided by various
women's organizations that are com-
ing to Washington asking congress to
reduce the tariff on necessities. The
tariff on food products is being attack-
ed by the National Consumers’ League,
whose representatives have been be-
sieging congress for a downward re-
vision of rates. It is now indicated
that the farmers will have arrayed
against them the powerful opposition
of the organized women’s clubs, in the
coming contest over tariff revision.

WE USUALLY EXPORT POTATOES.

 

MORE potatoes are usually export-
d from the United States than
are imported. In 1925, however, the
imports exceeded the exports by 109,-
658 bushels, acco1ding to the depart-
Nearly all the po-
tato imports during 1925 came from
Canada, the imports from that coun-
try increasing from 333,083 bushels in
1924 to 2,307,633 bushels in ‘1925.
The short crop in this country last
wear is responsible for the large in-
pcrease in imports.

 

' PRODUCTION BEJNG STABILIZED.

 

O
EPORTS received by the depart-
ment of agriculture up to April 1,
from about 50,000.producers indicated

intentions to increase the acreage of

oats 4.6 per cent; barley 5.7. per cent;
white potatoes 4.3 per cent, and to
decrease the spring wheat acreage 1.8
per cent.

'these figures may be taken as a fairly
accurate index of the plans farmers
now have in mind for this season’s
crops. The outstanding thing in the

0f the three main feed grains, corn,
oats and barley, the reported intention
is to plant 157,500,000 acres against
155,000,000 acres last year. This in-
crease is in oats and barley. Among
the chief moneycrops, the report in
dicates a small decrease in the spring
wheat acreage and a slight increase in
potato planting. With average yields
the production of feed crops may be
larger than can be disposed of with
available live stock. Increase in live
stock should not be made without con‘
sidering the probable effect on the
market. .Il‘he intended acreage of Corn
with average yields would allow little

.chance for change in the corn situa-
'tion. An oat crop equal to that of last

. LIABILITY FOR KILLING Doe. ,

 

Our dog accompanied the chiidren
to school and was killed on the road
by ‘a geighbor. Is this neighbor liable?

' There appears nothing in the state-
ment to excuse the neighbor from lia-
bility for killing the dog.-Rood.

LIABILITY ON. CONTRACT.

 

I ordered some fruit trees last fall,
but being unable to get work this win-
ter, I am unable to pay for the trees
now. I wrote to the company stating
my position, but they say I must take:
the trees now. What can I do?»—
W. R. S.

Liability on the contract does not
depend on the purchaser’s ability to
pay; there being-no provision in the
contract for such event, the only way'
out is to make sale of the trees to
someone else—Rood.

VALIDITY OF ORAL LEASE.

 

We rented a farm in the fall of 1925.
Later my husband died, and my son
went to see the lessor, who gave us
permission to stay 'if he did not sell
the farm. He told us to go ahead and
put in fall crops and we could stay if
he did not sell. (Our time was up in
November). Can the owner put us off
this spring? He has notified us to get
oft—M. H. N.
An oral lease for one year is valid,
and the lessor has no right to oust the
tenant who has put crops in by the
lessor’s direction, without payment for

the crops.

TH E WIDOW’S‘ SHARE.

A. made a will in 1904 leaving his
property to a friend. Later, about
1916, he married a widow with three
children, now grown up. Recently he
died, but did not change his will. .To
what part of the property is the widow

ntitled? A. has no children—Sub-
criber.

The man's will was not revoked by
the marriage. The widow is entitled to
her dower right—a life estate in one-
third of the realty. She is also en-
titled to household goods to the ex-
tent of $200, and to $3,000 more of his
personal estate, and one-half of the
residue of his personal estate.

 

 

LICENSE FOR DOGS.

 

Must the dog tax be paid beforea
certain day in the year? If not paid
by a certain time can a fine of $2.00,
be added to the regular fee? There
was a notice to this effect printed in
the paper two Weeks after the time
they claimed it must be paid. Should
not this have been printed before the
date due? Is this a state or county
law?—L D.

By Public Acts (1921), it is unlawful
for any person to own any dog
four months old or over, unless the
dog is licensed as therein provided,
and, by Section 6 of the act, on or be-
fore the first day of March every
year, the owner of any dog four
months old, or over, shall apply to the
county treasurer in writing for a li-
cense for the dog owned and kept by
him. The fee for the license of male

dog is $2.00.

How can this be straightened out?—
A. J. B.

Rights under contracts are not term-
inated by default; but only by fore
closure in some method recognized by
law. The assignee of the contract suc-
ceeds to all of the rights of the as-
signor at the time of the assignment;
and upon notification of the assign-
ment to the seller he is bound to re-
spect the rights of the assignor. The
rights of the assignee thereafter can
be cut off only by foreclosing the same
as if he were the original buyer.—
Rood.

LIABILITY OF EMPLOYE'S INJURY.

 

I have been working in the cedar
swamp for a company. The work is
run by a jobber, who gets paid so
much a cord for looking after the
wood. The company, however, sends
a sealer to scale the timber and pay
the men every two weeks. \Vhile
working here I met with an accident,
and upon attempting to draw insur-
ance, I found that the company con-
sidered I was not employed by them
directly, but by this man who is look
ing after things for them. He has
none but a verbal contract. Early in
the winter he was hurt himself and
drew compensation. Where doI stand?
Who could I write to at.Lansing ,re«
garding the compensation 1aw?——A. T.

Unless the iimber company is oper-
ating under the Employers’ Liability
Act, the Industrial Accident Commis-
sion wbuld have no jurisdiction. Their
address is Lansing, Michigan. VVheth-
er the owner of the timber, or the man
in the woods, is liable in case of accii
dent depends upon the contract be—
tween them and the contract of em«
ployment. If the man in the‘woods
hires and pays the men employed to
do the work, and has a contract with
the timber owner to deliver the timber
or wood at a fixed price per thousand.
using his own means and discretion
as to the method of accomplishing the

same, he is what is known in law as '

an independent contractor, and he
only would be liable to the men for
any injury. It, on the other hand, he
is merely an agent employing the men
and supervising the work for a com~
mission, the timber owner is liable for
accidental injuries to the employee. If
they are not operating under the Eur
ployers’ Liability Act, an action. at
law would be against them in this
case for the injury sustained,~ and
they could not plead contributory neg

LONGER.

 

‘ ' OWADAYS fence posts are ex-

‘ pensive, and the one way in which
the cost can be reduced is to make the
posts last longer. The best method of
treatment is- to dip the seasoned posts,
in hot creosote. But this is not often‘
convenient, although every farming
community ought to have a post-treat—
ing outfit. Anathermethod is to charr
the end of the post that goes into the
ground. Care should be taken that the

' p‘bst does not splitlor crack. This will

not occur if thewOod is thoroughly
seasoned. Piling stones, gravel, and
ashes about the post will permit bet-
ter circulation of air about it, and
keep down the weeds which hold mods.
ture and hasten decay. Posts may
also be painted with some preservative
liketar, petroled’m or creosote. Care
must be taken that every crevice is
filled with the paint, for decay will
start at such points. Creosote serves
bestzwhen applied hot. It penetrates

the wood to a greater depth when
heated—R. D. Dickinson.

CHANGE THE CRANKCASE OIL.

 

 

WHEN a manufacturer advises to
, change the crankcase oil every
500‘1mi1es, it does not mean every
3,000 miles. Do not neglect to change
the oil because it is a dirty job. It
can be done in about ten minutes. The
manufacturer knows when it should
be changed, and his advice should be
followed to get the longest life and
most efficiency out of the motor. If
every car owner could visit the repair
. shops and see a few engines that have

suffered from neglect such as this, he
,fiwould be more careful of his own car.

 

CHECK VALVES. .

HECK valves, which central the

flow of oil in a plunger type of
pump, should be cleaned occasionally
to secure proper pumping. In case the
oil does not flow, or the gauge shows
no pressure, it may be due to the
pump becoming air-bound, but clean-
ing the check valves will usually re-

, move the trouble.

 

GRINDING NOISE IN DIFERENTIAL.
A GRINDING noise in the differen—

tial can be reduced by using a
heavier grease, but judgment must be
used, as it is easy to get a grease so
heavy that when_ it is chilled it will
squeeze out of the gears and stay out,

causing them to run dry. This would
aggravate the trouble,

STEER MORE AND “HONK” LESS.

 

OME drivers seem to think that a
' constant honking of the horn is all
that is necessary for safety. More at-
tention to the steering wheel and less
to the “nerve disturber” is a wise
practice.
MANY-BARBERRY BUSHES DE-

EADER-S in the barberry eradica-
tion campaign, at their meeting in

. able progress had been made in con-

Ubushes. 'So far more than 11,500,000

common barberry bushes in the infest-
ed regionshave been destroyed.

HE farmers of Elmira township,
Otsego County, haVe reversed the
old saying of make hay while the sun
shines. Porcupine Lake has a rich de-
posit of marl, and since the lake has
gone down .it has.left the mar] high
and dry, so that His an easy matter
to drive a. team onto. it in the winter,
so now, instead of- hauling timber,
marl hauling is the order of the day.

The marl will ayerage three feet
deep, and there are several acres of it
available, or enough for all the farm-
ers within profitable hauling distance.
Many thought it could not be done,
on account of the deep snow, which is
three feet deep at the present time.
True, it is a handicap and-means some
work to uncover the marl. For all
that, many loads have been taken out
the. past week, which will spell suc-
cess to those whohave had the cour-
age to battle the elements and stick
to the job.

There is one big advantage—this
work can be done when there is not
much work to do on the farm. Those
at work make from two to three trips
‘3. day and haul from one and a half
to two and a half yards of marl to the
load.

The marl is piled up in heaps on the
farms to dry out so it can be spread
on the fields in the spring and worked
into the land where alfalfa will be
sown, and thus insure future crops.

It does not take much figuring to
see that the few farmers who have

caught the vision, are layng up a bank

account for
of better fertility of soil,
crops, more alfalfa, more milk, and
larger cream checks. ‘We hope more
farmers will mine marl while the min-
ing is good.—-—Eruest Pettifor.

TH E CLOSED DOOR.

EARLY this year the State Depart-

ment of Agriculture established a
quarantine against the importation of
certain products which carry pests
that, if introduced, would make trou-
ble in this state.

An embargo is on against the ship-
ment into the state of alfalfa in all
forms from the state of Utah. certain
counties of Idaho, Colorado, Nevada,
California, Oregon-and \Vyoming dur—
ing the months from April to October,
and during the remainder of the year,
except under certain conditipns laid
down by the above department. The
purpOSe of the quarantine is to prevent
the introduction of the alfalfa weevil,
an insect that does great damage to
the alfalfa plant.

threatens even greater damage to
plants than the European corn borer,

OLDEST ALFALFA caowea
IN MICHIGAN. ~

 

HO was the first success-

fully to grow alfalfa in
Michigan? We are wondering if
our readers can aid us in finding
out. Phillip Schare, of Kalama-
zoo county, states that he start-
ed a field of alfalfa in the early
seventies, which has been in this
crop for over fifty years, with
the exception 01* one. year. Does
anyone know of an earlier suc-
cessful attempt to grow this
wonderful crop? If so, write
the Editor 3. letter, giving such
facts as you may have at hand,
or give him information as to
where the facts may be learned.
Letters bearing on this subject
will be published.

 

 

 

(Berberis Thunbet‘gi) in Michigan is

black stem rust of wheat and other
grain crops.

Quarantine is also established
against chestnut trees from the states
of New York. Pennsylvania, New Jer-

West Virginia, North' Carolina, and
Ohio. to prevent the spread to this

PIED PiPER
O

F there is a. professional rat killer,

or a pied piper in Chippewa county
110 may find a job by applying to the
board of supervisor‘s. Supervisors
\Villiam \X'alkei', ot‘ \V‘itwalk, and Don
Hecox, of the Sault, were appointed
by the chairman of the board as mem-
bers of a “Rat; Investigation" commit-
tee. Within a year the county has
paid $891.60 for rat bounties, a bounty
paid in accordanCe with state law.
About ten per cent of this is paid to
amateur killers, and the rest; to those
in charge of the City dumping grounds
on the Shunk Road. "The city dump is
a breeding place for rats, and has been
a large source of income to the men
there because of the county bounty.

In suggesting that a professional rat
killer be employed to rid the dump of
rats, Supervisor Walker said that a.
rat killer could rid the place of vermin
for from $25 to $50 and save the coun-
ty a considerable amount of money.

PLENTY OF SUNSHINE-

HE Upper Peninsula has sunshine
more than twelve hours a. day
from March 29 to "September 22, and
in June the sun shines nearly sixteen
hours out of every twenty-four. It has
more acreage than Connecticut, Dela-
ware, Massachusetts and Rhode Is-
land combined.

 

PLANNING CITY MARKET...

 

HE Chamber of Commerce at Iron
Mountain is contemplating the es-
tablishment of a. city market for the

-fleneflt of farmers adjacent to that

city. The rapid boom‘ of that city
since the opening of the Ford interests
make it more than likely to be a huge
sucoess. County Agent Lonsdorf is
working on the proposition and sees a
great future in such a market, provid-
ed it is handled properly.

EORM NEW SIRE ORGANIZATION.

 

ECENTLY there was perfected
Rat Marquette a purebredssire-ex-
change committee, for the purpose of
promoting the exchange of proven
sires among farmers of the Upper
Peninsula. This committee consists of
J. G. Wells, Jr.; J. A. Jeffery; George
E. Bishop; G. W. Putnam; Dr. F. K.
Hanson, and E. G. Amos.

Mr. Wells was chosen general man-
ager and secretary. The first activity

of the committee will be to see that'

bulls sold from the dairy special of
two years ago are exchanged and thus
double their usefulness.

The committee will also assist in
exchanging Sires other than those pur-

-' chased from the train, and of proven

ability. Owners of pure-bred bulls
have been notified of this organiza-
tion and encouraged to list them with
the committee. This service will cost
the dairy men nothing, other than a
picture and pedigree of the animal
that they desire to trade.

cow TESTING RECORDS GOOD.

 

EBRUARY records in..the cow test-

ing associaitons show some real
producers. The high herd for that
month, owned by Wickman Brothers,
of' the North Menominee Association,
is a herd of fourteen grade Jerseys,
and they averaged 1,154 pounds of
milk and 43.6 pounds of fat. The high
association was South Delta, where
each cow averaged 595 pounds of milk
and 23.9 pounds of fat. In this asso-
ciation, Emil Mosher’s four-year-old
pure-bred Holstein led in that class
with 1,596 pounds of milk and 71.8
pounds of fat; and a grade Holstein
from the same herd led the mature
class with 1,353 pounds of milk and
77. pounds of fat.

The high two-year cow was a pure—
bred owned by the Upper Peninsula
Experiment Station. She produced
1,282 pounds of milk and fifty pounds
of fat. Another three-year-old pure-
bred led the three—year—old class with

'1,971 pounds of milk and 65.2 pounds

of fat.’ She is owned by C. E. John-
son, of Gogebic county.

Of course you’re going to spray
this year with the more effec-
tive, more convenient Pyrex, so

why not save money by

getting your Pyrox in

the five, ten or twenty:
five pound drums?

You’LL save money and time and run absolutely

no risk, because the new improved Pyrox will keep
' its creamy, easy-working consistency until used.

Last'season the success of the new Pyrox was
nothing less than sensational. Its increased ef-
fectiveness as a combined insecticide and fungicide
spray, and its greater convenience, were revela-

, tions to the thousands who used it.

With Pyrox, five minutes, and you’re ready to
spray. Pyrox saves time, labor and money. It
goes farther. It sticks, making frequent spray-
ings unnecessary. Lengthens -'
the growing season, increases
the yield and improves quality.

If Hail ruins Your Crops——

then what?

In the past four years there have been 601 damaging
hail storms in Michigan. The total damages are esti-
mated at $2,610,678.00. Few counties in the state
are entirely immune from this devastating giant.
This season may see your efforts, your crops com-
pletely ruined as the result of even a single hail storm.
Why not be protected by a Michigan company of
ample resources and financial backing? Read the

WHAT [8 HOME WITHOUT A GAR-
DEN?

 

E VERY woman living on a farm

should have a horse she could
drive, and a garden. That is what I
used to say. Now, of course. the horse
is gone, but the garden remains as
good as ever. .

Our garden was chosen as far as
‘possible from the barn and chickens,
and still be near the house. ‘It is of
ample proportions and contains every-
‘thing necessary for a family; aspar-
agus, rhubarb, strawberries, red and
black raspberries, currants, sweet and
sour cherries, peaches, pear and apple
trees. These do not need the cultiva~
tion that the vegetable garden does,
but the same fence will protect both
from chickens and stock.

Our garden is planted in long rows,
and except for horse cultivation, I ask
for very little man labor since a hired
.man hoed out a row of gladioli for me.
.(My garden contains flOWers as well
as vegetables).

Experience has taught me that to-
matoes and late cabbage sown in the
garden do better and ripen almost as
soon as the hothouse plants. I buy a
dozen early cabbage and tomato plants
and sow seed for the late varieties,
getting several hundred plants for ten
cents.

The late tomatoes I set about three
feet apart in the rows of early peas;
as the peas ripen I pull them and
have left a thrifty row of tomatoes.

After the last cultivation of the ear-
ly potatoes I set out the late cabbage
between the rows, and as I dig the
potatoes I hoe the cabbage. Sweet
peppers, I set in the row of radishes,
drill turnips and sweeds between the
{rows of sweet corn. With Swiss chard,
beets, parsnips, dill, and a row of rut-
:abagas for hens in winter, my autumn
garden is as busy as the one in spring.
——Mrs. A. C. C.

 

BLlGHT ON QUINCES.

 

Please tell me how to control blight
on quince trees. —-E. R.

The blight which attacks quince
trees is the same as that which at-
;tacks pear; trees, and the treatment is
the same. The most important thing
to do is to cut out the hold-over blight
cancers which are found on theti'unk
and large limbs. This is best done
Iwhile the trees are dormant. It would
be advisable for you to write to the
horticultural department of the Michi-
:gan State College for a bulletin on
blight control. If the quince trees are
making vigorous growth, endeavor to
check the growth. Slow-growing trees
are less susceptible to blight than fast-
growing ones.

INCREASING SPRAYING EFFI-
ClENCY.

 

(Continued from page 489).
Nozzles are frequently supplied with
{an extra disk, but these have openings
(of different sizes, and with the ordi-
mary power pumps the smaller open-
ings are too small to deliver sufficient
liquid and besides, the smaller capa-
city and less work done, the excess of
liquid passes through the relief valve
and causes extra wear there. I have
reduced the size of the opening in
disks having a single ,round opening,
by laying it on an anvil or flat iron
surface and striking it with a. hammer
having a round héad, or with a punch,
and then running a small drill through
it to make it round and smooth, as-the

 

irreg’tflar holeedoes not deliver so per-

fectly. The proper size for the ordi~
nary pump is about three-thirty—seo-
onds of an inch. A small drill of this
size only costs a few cents.

A part of the efl‘icient pewer spray
rig that is almost essential is the spray
gun. It is short and much more COH‘.
venient than the long spray-rod, and
is adjustable, giving either a wide
spreading spray, which is better for
small trees, or may be changed to a.
longyslender column that has greater
capacity and reaches the large’trees
more thoroughly. Most of rthese,‘too,
are supplied with a needle that forces
obstwctions out of the opening in the
nozzle and prevents clogging.

Leak in Relief .Valve.

Still another leak that sometimes
takes place and reduces the pressure
is in the relief valve, although this is
not so common perhaps, as that in the
old-fashioned plunger, and the wear in
the nozzle, particularly if the amount
of liquid delivered is properly adjust~
ed. If more material passes through
the pump than the nozzle will deliver,
the excess must go through the relief
valve, and this causes wear. Some
times considerable trouble is caused in
this way, especially if "one hasn’t had
much experience with spray rigs and
has not learned, all about these things.
The hole in the nozzle should be the
proper size to deliver about all the
pump supplies and still keep up the
pressure, and, of course, this means
that the pump should be bought of the
proper capacity to meet the buyer’s
needs. A larger pump is required to

run two leads of hose than if the work ,

is to be done by one person. This can
be g0verned to a. considerable extent,
however,-by regulating the speed of
the engine. The wearing parts of res
lief valves can usually be renewed at
small cost, but this is a matter that
requires attention. If the pressure
runs down, and there is no leak past
the plungers, and the opening in the
nozzle is not too large, then the diffi-
culty may be looked for in the Worn
parts of the relief valve.

Keeping Adjusted.

Spray rigs, like all complicated ma-
chines, need to be properly adjusted in
order to do efficient and satisfactory
work, and in doing rapid and than
ough Spraying, it is necessary that the
proper pressure be maintained. l'have
seen men attempting to spray when
only a coarse shower was being deliv-
ered that only reached part of the
trees, and they didn’t seem to compre-
hend that everything wasn't going all
right. And men have complained that
their rigs wouldn’t keep up the pres-
sure and they couldn’t find out what
the trouble was, and when a worn noz—
zle was suggested, they never had
thought of that.

Wear on Pumps.

Of course, pumps, like all other ma-
chines, wear out in time and must be
replaced. I used to have the pump
renewed at the machine shop in two
years, and in another two years had
to junk it, but with those we get lately
much more wear may be obtained. But.
with all of them the pressure gradu-
ally runs dOWn and it is impoxtant to
look after this. The first place to look
is in the pump. See that the plungers
are working without any leak. If there
is none here, then see if the opening
in the nozzle is not too large. If re—
ducing this does not raise the pres‘
sure, then look after the relief valve
and see if the liquid is not flowing
through this.

for the New England Milk Producers’

Association, Boston, Mass.,
' “Prohibition has, to an appreciable ex-
tent, increased the useof milk."

“My opinion is that three-fourths of
the increase is due to educational ad-
vertising and one-fourth to prohibi-
tion," stated C. Larson, dean of agri-
cuiture Of the South Dakota State Col-
lege, Brookings, South Dakota.

“certainly prohibition has had a ten-
dency to increase the consumption of
milk, as has also the educational work
done,” wrote Ivan C. Weld, secretray-
treasurer of the International Associa-
tidn of Dairy.‘ and Milk Inspectors, of
Washington, D. C.

"At' least ten per cent is due to pro-
hibition,” stated J. W. Bartlett, prefers;
sor of dairy husbandry of the New
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion, New Brunswick.

P. M. Brandt, professor of dairy hus-
bandry of the Oregon Agricultural Col-
lege, Corvallis, stated that a fourth of
the increase is due to prohibition.

C. H. Beckendorf, general manager
of the Milk Producers' Association of
Central California, Modesto, said the
increase is due largely to population
’ growth of cities, and pointed, as an.
example, 'to Los Angeles’ 700 per cent
growth in twenty-five years. '

The seven replies which stated pro--

hibition had no effect upon the in-
creased consumption of milk, attribut-
ed the increase to growth in popula-
tion and educational advertising. Prac-
tically every one of the fifty-one re-
plies paid tribute to educational adver-
tising as a chief factor contributing to
the increase.

“I do not believe that the increase
in fluid milk consumption is in any
way related to prohibition,” wroteM.
Mortensen, head of the dairy manufac-
turing department of Iowa State Col-
lege, Ames. “The one "who has for-
merly used beer or liquor will not find
much satisfaction in a glass of milk.
I do feel however, there has bcen a
greater increase in the consumption
of buttermilk as a result of prohibi-
tion.”

. “M. J. Metzger,‘ secretary of the

' Bowman Dairy Company, Chicago, said
that probably twenty-five per cent of
the increase is due to prohibition, and
the other seventy-five per cent to edu-
cation of the public to the food value
of milk.

“The consumption of fluid milk now
is 54.75 gallons a year per capita in
the United States,” says A. D. Lynch,
of the Illinois Agricultural Association.

FROM CLCVER TO ALFALFA.

 

HE county board of agriculture,

through Harold C. Stinson, man-
ager, is holding a series of county in-
stitutes. The county agent of Neway-
go is making extensive plans for a
big alfalfa campaign this spring, and
is‘layingthe foundation at these in-
stitutes this week. Stinson says that
at the present there are 6,000 acres of
alfalfa inNewaygo county, but that he
hopes by the campaign to double that
acreage this year.

He says that farmers,have been de— .

pending upon red clover as their leg-
ume plant and therefore they have
been faced not only with high prices
for their seed, but also have had to
take the chance of planting unadapted
and imported seed in their fields and,
rather than take a chance on success
of that crop, they are turning to alfal-

VACCINE TREATMENT FOR HAY
FEVER AND ASTHMA.

 

0U may have been counting
yourself a “hay fever” victim.
“Mistake!” says the up-to—the—
minute doctor. Perhaps you thought
you had asthma. What you really have,
it seems, is “protein sensitiveness."
The new diagnosis is based on the
theory that some individuals are easily
poisoned by certain proteins. Since
proteins are essential constituents of

all living cells they are widely scat1

tered in nature. For example, they
may be in the pollen of a weed, caus~
lng “hay fever," or they may be in
thehair of a horse, causing the sensi-
tive one to have asthma. At least

sixty different substances have been

tried out and found capable of produc-
ing protein poisoning that is manifest-
ed by symptoms heretofore classed un-
der the names of “hay fever" or
“asthma.”

The treatment consists in desensi-
tizing the patient by the administra.
tion of vaccines prepared from the par-
ticular substance to which the sufferer
is sensitive. If a test with timothy
pollen extract shows that it has the
power to give you hay fever, the treat-
ment would consist in giving you grad-
ed doses of vaccine before the spring
If you did not respond to tim-
othy pollen, but ragweed played the
very dickens with your sneeze organs,
you should get various doses of rag-
weed pollen vaccine before the coming

IW'hen a man of your age begins to

The whdle crew began nodding or

"waving to him, some crowding around
:and shaking hands with him.

“This is like old times," Dick added,
a little affected by the greetings.

:“D’ad’s whole crew, except Captain
Johnston. Where’s he?"

“I dunno, Mr. Van Ness,” replied
“He was relieved of duty a
month ago. It was a sad day for the

rest of us when he left. ’Tain’t like it

used to be.”

“No, Brent isn’t Captain Johnston."

Alice Cutler stood. in the back-
ground, completely mystified and puz-
zled at first, but she was bright enough
to connect the name they used with
the former owner of the yacht. This,
and the information Dick had given
her concerning the secret compart-
ment on the yacht, brought final com-
plete enlightenment. She smiled.

"You seem to know uncle’s crew bet-
ter than I do,” she broke in. “You
‘might introduce me, Mr. Van Ness."

Dick smiled and looked foolish.
There was no further need of conceal-
:ing his identity, but there was neces-
sity of acting quickly before Brent re-
turned.

“They all know you, Miss Alice.” he
replied hastily, “and respect you.”

“Aye! Aye, sir!” responded the men,
touching their caps.

Dick watched them a moment in si—
lence. Then his face became suddenly
grave and severe. “Barnett, I want
you and the others to listen attentive-
ly to me,” he began. “You’re up

“Miss Cutler here, will back up all

Captain Brent
is in league with~Blake and Dr. Alster
to keep your employer here uncon—
scious until they can play their game.
So far as I know, they intended to let
him die finally.”

He caught his breath, pausing long
enough to let his words sink in. "Be—
fore you came back, we had every~,
thing our own way. Blake and McGee
are prisoners, and Dr. Alster was cow-
ed so that he had to do our bidding.
I had sent a wireless broadcast, call—
ing for help. I imagine Brent picked
that up and hurried back. Anyway,
his coming upsets the whole kettle of

and perhaps release Blake and Mc-
Gee. There’ll be four of them. Cap
tain Brent’s armed, I suppose, but the
others are not. I relieved them of
their weapons.”

-Again he paused, sweeping the cir-
cle of faces a little anxiously. “Now,”
he resumed, “there’s going to be a
fight for possession of this island and
the yacht. Help from some passing
ship may come at any time, but we
can’t depend upon that. VVe’ve got to

“Miss Cutler, in the name of ‘her up,-
cle, who owns this yacht, gives me
the right to speak for her. Do you
not, Miss Alice?" ‘

“Yes, yes,” she replied hastily. “Ev-
erything he says is true."

“Then,” resumed Dick, smiling at
the crew, “I .want volunteers to help
us. Wait a minute," he added, frown-
ing, “let’s do the-thing lawfully. We
don’t want any of you to be charged
with mutiny. We’re on land, and not
a the high seas. Therefore, the own-
er, or his representatives, can dis-
charge any member of the crew or th
officers.” ~

Alice Cutler smiled, and catching
her cue, spoke quietly. “Brent is no
longer captain__ of this yacht,” she
said. “I discharge him. and appoint
in his placee”

She looked at Dick, who shook his
head, and whispered, “Barnett. I’ll

go as his mate.”

Alice nodded. “Mr. Barnett, I ap-
point you captain. Will you take the
ship?”

“Certainly, Miss Cutler,‘.’ was the
prompt answer. “Mr. Van Ness was a
long time getting it out, and I made
up my mind long before he got
through where I stood. You can count
on me in any little mix-up With Cap-
tain Brent.” '

Dick caught his hand and wrung it.
“Barnett, I knew I could depend on

on.”

y “It seems to me,” remarked Jurgins,
scratching his head, “You don't have
much faith in them that stood by you
in the past, Mr. Dick. You remember
the time I fished you out of thy”

your face once as a kid. and you turn-
ed me up and spanked me for it. I'll
let you do it again after this trouble’s
over.”

“I‘ll remember that, Mr. Dick, but I
ain’t saying right now I’ll do it. You
have grown some since then.”

The laugh that followed set his mind
at ease. Every member of the crew
was crowding around him, eager and
anxious to show his loyalty. For a
few minutes Dick was so overpowered
that he was speechless.
ing his agitation, smiled up mischiev-
ously. “W'hy, you’re trembling, Dick!
Are you afraid ‘3"

“Yes, afraid of being overwhelmed
by my friends. I feel like hiding and

blushing.”
CHAPTER XIV.

Although Barnett. as the newly ap-
pointed captain of the Pelican, was
nominally in command, Dick assumed
charge and began active preparations
for meeting the enemy. The yacht
was ransacked for firearms, and with
every member of the crew armed with
some sort of weapon, he divided his
men into two squads.

Captain Barnett was left in charge
of the yacht, while. Dick led half'of
the crew up to the house. Alice ac-
companied him, although he sought to
hold her back. "I want to see how
uncle is,” she gave as an excuse.

Unable to combat this argument,
Dick permitted her to trail in the rear.
Without ceremony, he burst. into the
front door, and then more cautiously
made his way up to the sick chamber,
followed by his men.

Marie, white of face. and trembling
violently, met him at the doorway.
“Oh, it’s you.” she cried in relief. “I
was afraid it was that horrid captain
a I"

“Where is Captain Brent 1’"
“Gone away with Dr. Alster.”
“Where to?"

Alice, notic- '

“I don’t know, but they said Some-

Dick swungaround before she had
finished. He kept six steps ahead of
his nearest man in descending the
stairs. There was a possible chance
of heading Brent off before he reached
the cave to release the prisoners, and
he‘ made ahasty flight in that direction.

But there was no sign of the enemy
on the way, and when lie-reached the
entrance to the cayev he heard voices
below that "convinced him he was too
late. Brent and lster weredown
there with Blake an McGee. . ‘

Stationing his men‘in strategic posi-
tions, Dick approached the entrance.

“Brent, we know you’re armed,”-he
called, “but neither Blake nor McGee
has a- gun. I saw to that. There are
six of us_up here, and every one’s pre-
pared to shoot the first head that
shows. Miss Cutler’s discharged you,
and appointed Barnett as Skipper. I’m
his first mate. Therefore, this isn’t
mutiny. The crew are following the
orders of their captain. Now, will you
come— up peaceably and surrender, or
is it fight?” .

The answer came rather unexpect-
edly and violently. There was an ex-
plosion below, and a bullet flattened
itself on the rock near Dick.

“Thanks for the answer, Brent,” was
the retort. “We can now consider hos-
tilities opened. Look out!"

He fired at something that showed
white in the dim light of the cave.
There was a groan, and the object dis-
appeared from sight.

“Close in, men,” Dick said coolly,
“but don’t expose yourself. Shoot at
anything you see.”

Intermittent, volleys followed, and
bullets rattled down the cave, with an
occasional shot from below. Realizing
the men below had the advantage of
light, Dick cautioned his men not to
expose themselves. But one advantage
was in their favor. They surrOunded
the mouth of the cave on all sides, and
while the enemy was taking a shot at
one of their number, the guns of the
others could be trained on him.

The noise of the shooting soon
brought others from the yacht. With
their quarry imprisoned in the cave,
there was no need of keeping more
than' a corporal’s guard aboard the
Pelican. Their shots soon began to
tell, for the explosions from below be
came less and less frequent. A moan
occasionally reached their ears. At
least one of the gang had been hit.

The problem of getting the men out
of the cave was a serious (me. With
night coming on, the difficulty of
watching and guarding the place would
increase. In the course of time they
would be starved out, but that might
require days and days. ' ,

“It’s only a question of tim before
we get them,” Dick said to aptain
Barnett when they withdrew to con-
sider the situation. “There’s no fun
in starving them out. We ought to
find some quick plan for settling it.”-

Jurgins, who was crouching behind

a rock, with one eye on the cave’s en-
trance, suddenly raised his hand, and
pointed.

“I reckon something’s wrong up at
the house,” he said. “Miss Cutler
looks excited.”

Dickand Barnett whirled around.

Tripping hurriedly over the rocks, with

her hair and skirts whipping in the
wind like flags, Alice Cutler came,
waving them. in 'what Dick thought
was anxiety and fear. He started to-
ward her on a run. ”
"Dick! Dick!” she called. “Oh, un-

'wmm

Dick smiled. “I guess the Pelican
wasn't the only one that picked up my
S. O. S. ‘She certainly aets as if she
was in a hurry.” »

The girl by his side suddenly turned
grave. and said the most inexplicable
hing. “Oh, Dick, I almost wished it
wasn't coming. It wasgoing to be so
nice on the island without~without——
Now, I su pose there’ll be a crowd!”

He loo ed at her waveringly, queer
asens tions at his heart, strange lights
danc ng before-his eyes. Like a man
seized with vertigo, he staggered to-
ward her, caught one'of her hands in
his, and opened his mouth to speak:
but Captain Barnett at that moment
appeared. '

The torpedo-boat, Sprite, had picked

up Dick’s wireless at sea, and hurried
to the island; but the Pelican was ten
miles nearer and beat her by a small
margin of time. The arrival of the
warship completely demoralized Cap—
tain Brent and his confederates. After
a threat of the commander to blow up
the cave with a depth bomb, they sur-

rendered and sulkily permitted them-,

selves to be taken prisoners.

Dick was not sorry that the respon-
sibilityof capturing and holding them
was transferred to anothe-r’s shoulders.
On the warship, where the prisoners
were put through a separate and col—
lective grilling, he learned the details
of the plot that cleared up ' many
points. '. -

Mr.. Blake had taken advantage of

his position of trust and confidence, as ~

Mr. Cutler’s private secretary, to ma
nipulate the stock market for his own
benefit, using a brokerage firm of ques-
tionable reputation as a confederate.
Knowing that the enforced absence of
Steve Cutler would create a. panic in
the stocks supported by him, he had
planned skillfully to bring about this
situation. ‘

Through the. suggestion of Dr. Al~
ster, he administered a drug,that‘slow-
ly weakened the old man's health,
gradually breaking down his iron will
until he was apathetic and indifferent.
He became alternately peevish and ir-
ritable, followed by long periods of
gloomy depression. His own family
phys1c1an was unable to diagnose his
case. -‘

By working on his employer’s mind
when m that weakened condition,
Blake_won the power to speak and act
for him in many important matters.
He had Captain Johnston dismissed,
and Brent installed in his place. Then
in one of his periods of'dejection, he
prevailed upon Cutler to accept a tem-
porary change of physicians.

After that, the success of the. plot
was assured. Dr. Alster kept his pa-
tient weak and mentally depressed un-
til it .was time_to spring their coup.
Captain Brent had been to Valhalla to
install the secret wireless plant in the
cave, and When.he returned arrange-
ments were completed for the second
step in the scheme. . ‘

Dr. Alster had warned Cutler; that
a period of absolute rest was essen-
tial, and he recommended a' trip to
Valhalla. Alice had unwittingly fallen
into their plans, and when she added
her persuasions to that of the others,’
the old »ma.n had grumblingly yielded.

All preparations for the trip had
been left to Blake. His pretense of

“the islaiid, he appeared :to be more
perturbed than anyone. His plausible
- excuse of sending the yacht back. for
’ more servants was accepted by Miss

~ ' Cutler until her» suspicions of his dou-
ble dealing were amused by Dick.

, The Pelican had merely steamed off
to Marsh Inlet, where it was in com~
munication with the island, and also
wit a shore wireless station. Blake’s
messages to his .brokers were thus ro-
layed to the shore, and answers re-
ceived via the yacht’s wireless in the

~ ' same way.
The man's original idea had been to
‘ commit no crime that could be traced
t to him. But two factors developed
* that upset his plans. One was his
, growing passion for Alice Cutler, which,
3. when he had her in his power on the
‘~' island, developed into a madness that

‘ caused him to over-reach himself.

f The other factor that had conflicted
‘ with his interests was the obstinacy
of the stock market to move just as he
wanted‘it. At first it was violently
depressed by all sorts of rumors con-
cerning the health, and even death of
4, Steve Cutler, but after that it had re-
acted and recovered some of its nor-
mal tone. .

To make matters worse for Blake,
. he had to protect his margins with
the'stocks and securities of his em-
ployer, which he had abstracted from
his private safe and deposit vaults and
placed where he could get them eas-
, ily. His brokers had called by wire-
;" less for more and more margins until
i tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of
Steve Cutler's securities had been
turned Over to them. Blake was not
only a ruined man, but a thief and ab-
sconder, unless the market turned so
. he could recoup his losses and replace
,4 the stocks and bonds before his em-

' ployer returned.
' The scheme had been blasted by
Dick, who from the first had appeared
as the man's Nemesis, accidentally and
then intentionally crossing his path
at every important turn to Checkmate

un.

Steve Cutler had come out of his
comatose condition, partly as the re
sult of Dr. Alster’s .ministrations. Af-
terward the surgeon of the torpedo-
boat took him in hand, and before the
warship was ready toflsail with.her
prisoners, the old man, though weak,
was mentally nearly normal.

Alice explained in detail what had
happened on the island before Dick
was summoned to Cutler’s bed-side.
The old man looked pale, but grim and
in a fighting mood. He nodded as
Dick entered.

“Well, sir, you’re a chip of the old
block?” he said. “I knew Henry Van
Ness when he was a boy. Henry and
I grew up together, fighting our bat-
tles in knee breeches before we locked
horns 'on the Street. I’m glad to meet
you. Sir.” ' _ ,

Dick grasped the withered hand, and
murmured some conventional reply.

“Now, sir,” Continued the money
magnate, “What can I do for you? I
owe you something. Name your price.”

a Dick’s head went up. “I haven’t
any.” he replied coolly.

“Eh? What’s that! Repeat it!"

“I haven’t any price, sir! I didn’t
do it to be rewarded. Thank youjust
the same.” ~ '

“But—by gad, sir, you must have a
price—every man has! "

“Then I must be the exception,” he
smiled. As he did so, his eyes drifted
across the bed to the girl opposite. For
a moment he was quiet and dreamily
thoughtful. Suddenly he laughed good-
naturedly, and shrugged his shoulders.
_ “Yes, I haVe a price,” he said, “but
it's too high for even you to pay. You
couldn’t do it!”

‘ “Couldn’t pay it!" snorted Cutler.
“You think that scoundrel’s ruined me

 

“M

 

so I can’t buy what I want! Young
min, you don’t know me. I could buy

.Dick turned abruptly away. “I can’t

shouldn’t have mentiO‘ned it. Besides

one to the other~—~“another would have
to pay more than you, andI shouldn’t

DW that housecleaning time is

at hand, everything on the top

shelf of the pantry will receive
its annual “once over." In view of
the prevailing craze for antiques, ev-
erything in the line of an old dish
should be carefully scrutinized. It may
be that a valuable find in old Stafford-
shire or china can be located right
there. Old Staffordshire can readily
be identified by the mark on the back
and this ware is being eagerly sought
for by collectors of antiques. No mat-
.ter what the pattern, such a piece is
well worthy of a place of honor in the
home, and should be brought out
where it can be seen and admired.

Staffordshire pattern is usually blue
and white, but pink, green, brbwn, or
purple are also found. Usually, too,
the picture represents scenery of some
kind. If the piece is decorated with
any sort of American scene, or the
picture of an American personage, it
is doubly valuable. W'ashington,
Franklin, and other men prominent in
public life during the Revolutionary
period, were the subjects of many of
these sketches, now very rare.

These old blue dishes, once the
pride of our grandmothers’ hearts, are
familiar to the older prople now liv-
ing. They are still to be found about
the homes of older families of Ameri-
can descent, but in the majority of
cases, their value is overlooked, and
repose in peaceful oblivion on the top
shelf of the pantry, that haven for
derelict dishes, disturbed only by the
semi-annual general cleaning.

Aside from the choicer pieces repre-
senting American views, there is the
more familiar willow pattern of which
many pieces survive, scattered over
the country in numbers of from one
to several each. The mulberry pattern,
too, is sometimes seen, and the ex-
quisite lavender sprig, all undoubtedly
Staffordshire, as in “its prime, about
1750, more than twenty potteries in
that district were making this ware
and sending it to America. The idea
of stamping their dishes with Ameri-
can views did not originate until after
the War of the Revolution, when it
was adopted by about every pottery in
that district.

As heirlooms, all of these old dishes
should be treasured and handed down
to coming generations. They, and oth-
er bits of old—time furnishings, which
are now classed as antiques, form
about the only link connecting the
present generation with that of the
past, of which every loyal American
is so justly proud.

Of cdurse, there are other antiques
besides dishes, and many other kinds
of dishes besides Staffordshire, equally
valuable. What about old' glass? Is
there an old sugar bowl, a goblet or
two, or a tumbler which has been in
the family a long, long-time? Turn
the piece over and lock for tiny
scratches around the edge of the foot
where it rests upon the table. If very
old, you will see these plainly. Also
note if there is a pontil mark in the
center of the under side. If rough at
that point, then your piece was cer-
tainly made before 1800, as since that
time glass blowers have ground this
rough place smooth in finishing the
article.

These few suggestions, I hope, may
send someone scurrying to the pantry

WE CAN ALL HAVE EVER-BLOOM-
ING ROSES.

NO other type of rose can take the

place of the ever-bloomers. By
these I mean the tea roses, and roses
that bloom similar to them, and not
the polyanthas or crosses of these.
Most of these are not hardy north of

 

the Gulf States, but they can be grown
successfully just the same, and are
well worth while. Of course, they
need good care, and to be at their
best, they must be fed freely if we
are not expecting to keep them over,
and aim to use them only as summer
and fall bloomers for the one year. I
would rather buy a. rose than'a‘geran-
ium for bedding during‘ summer,
though it will not make the showing,

College Ham Casserole.

Parboil a slice of ham in water to
which a little milk has been added.
Simmer for five minutes. Drain and
remove the slices of ham to a greased
baking dish. Rub the ham on both
sides with a little bacon fat, and
sprinkle quite thickly with brown
sugar. Stick three or four cloves into
the ham. Sprinkle with a tablespoon-
ful of minced onion.

Peel, core and quarter tart apples.
Cover the ham with these, arranging
in circles. Sprinkle with dots of but-
ter and three or four tablespoonfuls of
brown sugar. Add a cup of boiling
water and put the cover on. the dish.
Bake slowly until tender.

Apple Rings with Rice.

Boil one cupful of brown riCe in
boiling salted water. Do not stir.
When tender, dry in the oven so that
grains will be distinct. Select firm,
tart apples of medium size. Allow
one for each person to be served. Wash
and remove the cores but do not peel.
With a sharp knife, cut the coredap~
pies into slices a. quarter of an' inch
thick.

Take a. perfectly clean frying pan,
or a. good-sized dripping pan if a num-
ber of} apples are to be cooked.- Put

HINTS Fon‘ EVERY DAY.

 

Saturday—If you have use for rub-
ber bands cut from old inner tubes,
of other pieces of sheet rubber, try»
cutting it under cold water. It will
out much easier.

Sunday—Crackers and nut meats
may be broken by putting them in a.
salt sack and running the rolling pin
over them several times. This is
quicker than grinding, and no crumbs
are lost. '

Monday—Drive a medium-sized nail
into the cork of the biuing bottle. The
bluing can then be poured into. the
water in drops without danger of get-
ting too much, or of staining fingers.

Tuesday—In the spring, boys’ blous-
es that are worn at the cuffs and neck
can be converted into sport blouses for
summer by cutting off sleeves, and
hemming. From the good material in
the lower part of the sleeve, "make a.
sport collar to replace the worn one.
\Wednesday.—Boil strong soda wa-
ter in the coffee pot twice weekly, then
rinse and air the pot thoroughly. This
will keep the pot sweet and clean and
improve the flavor of your coffee.

Thursday.——If you have no cupboard

in the basement for your jams and‘

jellies, put shelves in an old discarded
trunk. Place against the wall. The

cover acts asa door and keeps the-

preserves in the dark without wrap-
. ping them in paper. '

Friday.——If the seats of your cane
chairs are sagging, turn them upside
down, wash well with soapy water,
soaking thoroughly. When dry, they
will have shrunk considerably.

CONTROLLING GROWTH OF HAIR.

 

, What- is the cause of hair growing
on the face, and under the arm be-
tween the elbow and wriSt? Is there
a way to stop it ?—Mrs. R. L. B. .

It depends very much upon the
amount and character of the hair. If
there are only a few, strong, aggres-
sive hairs, the electric needle Will
make short work of them The needle
must go to the folicle of each hair, so
it is a tedious job if there are very
many, and I do not advise that it be

attempted unless the hairs are so few,

that they can be readily counted.
When there is a large surface, covered
with vigorous hair, I do not advise
the use of the needle, neither 'do I

think it is worth while to try to re-
move such a growth of hair with drugs.

There is no objection to pulling them
out with tWeez‘ers, rubbing them down
by using a brick of~iine toiletgtimice
stone, or‘ applying one of the .epilating
waxes that _ druggists have for sale.

.None of, these methods will kill the :,

EN country schools, one-room
schools, uniting in one big edu-
cational, recreational, social oc-

casion, gave us all some thrills late

last spring. Many of these schools

have hardly more than the twelve pu-

pils demanded by law to save them

frpm being closed, but each and every

one is doing fine work. The gather-

ing took place in a. large public build-
ing in town, as it was more Centrally
located than any other place, and no
ordinary Country building could no-

commodate the crowd. It was home--
coming, field day, exhibit day, picnic

day and stunt day all rolled into one,

with numerous prizes, none of them

worth very much money, but all worth

trying for. .

We started with the stunts, each_
school putting forth their best offer-ts
in song or play or drill or recitations.
Everything was shert and on time, ow-
ing to the brisk, businesslike woman
the board of education had put in
charge of the affair. I had the ‘honor
of being one of the judges, and felt
like refusing, as it was so hard not
to think first of the old school where
I had been a. pupil and whére I had
taught my first terms.

As if by magic, tables sprung up af-
ter the stunts. They were the kind
with removable legs, and the way
those youngsters took hold and set
,them. up was a wonder. The ladies
were no less‘busy, and such quantities
of good food soon covered them'that
it was hard to find a spot on which to
set the individual plates.

After dinner came the judging of the
school exhibits, which included les-
sons, drawings, articles of furniture,
cooking products, canned goods. speci-

mens of grains and woods, floWers,
sewing and fancy work. Then came

the community sing, the games, and.

a. general social time which lasted un-

til chore time in the evening.

There were some gray haired people

who had been. pupils in theiold log:

school-houses, and there were somany

babies that it looked ‘88;in the future
schools would have more-pupilsx than "

now. ‘An entirely new - feature: that

high school pupils who once went to.

the one-room schools are asked to din--
.ner, and though they miss the rest of

the fun, they show their loyalty. to the
little temple of learning that gave
them their start. It was a great day,
and some town visitors who Wandered
in during the afternoon had their eyes
opened as to the possibilities of the
rural school. The superintendent of
the county seat schools said much of
the work done with poor equipment
and under many handicaps, was better
than some town grades could show.

ANTIQUING FURNITURE.

 

I am going to paint over an old-
fashioned bedroom suit. Recently I
saw one painted in twotone, with thé
darker shade in mottled affect. Can
you tell me how to do this?——Mrs. K.

To make this antique finish on fur-
niture is quite simple. Select two bar;
monizing shades of paint—a. dark and
a light blue, for instance. Apply the
light blue and let it dry. Then apply
the darker shade, and, while wet, tan
or pet the surface with damp sponge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HIS is the story Tilly’s grand-

mother told her the day she

taught Tilly how to sew on her
first patch.

“A very long time ago when little
girls were pantalettes way down below
their dresses, there lived a. very poor
woman at the edge of the little town
of Penterville. To earn a few pennies
for food andclothing for herSelf and
little daughter, Patsy, this woman sew-
ed 011 patches for the people of Pent-
erville.

“Patsy was only ten years old and
she loved flowers very much. Every
spring she planted flowers in her gar-
den, and all summer beautiful blos-
soms lifted up their smiling faces.
Patsy often took a. bouquet with her

when she went to deliver the people’s“

ammuniuiéluami rclothing that her mother had patched.

“Patsy saw so many patches that
she grew to dislike them‘ very much.
It seemed to her that the whale World
must be cavere'd with patches; ,, She

Patry’: Pory Patc/z

"Patches to right. of me,
Patches to left of me,
Patches in front of me.
All without number.

And she sang it over and over to
herself as she helped her mother ‘sew.

“Then one day it happened that
Patsy tore a big hole in her best Sun-
day dress. ,

‘ “ ‘Never mind,’ said Patsy’s mother,
when she came to tell her about it.
with big tears making little rivulets
down her pink cheeks. ‘We can fix it
up with a patch.’

“And that was just what Patsy didnt’
want. To think of having to wear a
horrid patéh on her best Sunday dreSs!
But she knew that her mother was
too poor to buy her a. new dress. The
old one just must be patched. Patsy
was very sad.

“Now Patsy’s mother knew how
Patsy disliked patches, and she tried
to think of a. way to put on. the patch
and yet make Patsy happy. .

‘ “ ‘Let me see,’ said Patsy’s mother,
‘Patsy does not like patches, but one
does like posies. If I only had a patch
with a pretty posy on it.’

“Then Patsy’s mother searched to
the very bottom of her piece bag, and
when Patsy came heme from deliver-
ing the_pa.tched clothing to the people
in Penterville, her mother had a sur-
prise fer her.~ The ugly hole in her

be given their wet mash and fresh wa-
ter Without entering the pen.

This idea can be used on a house of
any style or size, and can be added to
a house already in use, without much
trouble. In adding this to your pres-
ent house, you can build the alleyway
onto the back and cut a doorway into
each pen. The partitions between each
pen should be boarded up about two
feet, and netting used for the rest. A
mash hopper is placed in each par-
tition, thus making one hopper do for
two pens. The water pans are placed
in the back partition so that they can
be filled from the hallway. For the
man who is using trap nests, it is also
a great time-saver, the trap nests
should be the double end type in which
the hen enters one end and is taken
out the other end.

In this way any hen that is ready
to come off the nest will have her head
showing in the hallway and the poul-
tryman can tell at a glance if there is
alien ready to come off the nest, or
not, without having to examine each
nest.

In addition to saving time, this
house is a real money-saver, as the
time saved in feeding can be spent ex-
amining the flock for disease.

In building a new house of this style
the house should be twenty feet deep,
and pens made twelve feet wide. The
feed room in the center can be made
any size to suit your requirements, or
may be made large enough to serve as
a broader room. ‘

, THE EGG LAYING CONTEST.

 

 

Hr) production for the twenty—first

week of the contest totaled 4,831
eggs, thirty-seven less than the week
before. The leading pen in the week’s
production was of Barred Rocks from
the Maple Crest Poultry Farm, of
Buckley, Michigan, which laid sixty
eggs. There were fourteen pens that
laid over fifty-five eggs during the
week.

Hanson’s White Leghorns are still
in the lead; having a production of
1.173 eggs. 'Northland Poultry Farms
come next with 1,024 eggs. Harry

MAKING CAPONS.

 

Would you please answer the fol-
rexception of a three-foot alleyway lowing questions regarding caponiz—

along the back, and a doOr opening

ing? . ‘
If it does not require the set-Vices of
an expert, where can I get instructions

for performing the operation myself?

-A. C. T.

The operation of caponizing is not;

difficult, and with a little practice it

can be performed with very small loss.
It d0es not require the services of an
expert. A book on caponizing can be
obtained for ten cents from George
Beuoy, Route 9, Cedar Vale, Kansas.
This will give complete instructions
for making capons and marketing
them.

The selling of capons at a profit re-
quires a special market. Most small
town dealers have little demand for
capon meat. They require consider-
able feed, and many poultrymen have

limited housing capacity and are forc-'

ed to sell their cockerels as broilers
in Order to have the colony houSes and
range for the use of the pullets. It

is interesting to make a few capons
for home use as they develop high
quality meat and some poultrymen
have found capons profitable. A list
of the addresses of dealers in capons
can be found in the book by Beuoy.

HATCHING DUCKS AND TURKEYS.

 

Would you advise me to set duck
eggs and turkey eggs in an incubator?
What feed would you advise me to
feed turkeys when they are young?——‘
Mrs. M. W.

Duck eggs can be successfully hatch-
ed in an incubator by following the
special instructions sent with the ma-
chine. Turkey eggs can be hatched
artificially but it is not the usual cus-
tom. Because of the value of the
eggs it is usually considered safest to
place them under hens or turkeys.
This divides “up the risk and furnishes
a good natural broader. for the poults,

A good starting feed for poults can
.be made of stale bread soaked in milk
and squeezed nearly dry. After three
or four days they can be given fine
chick scratch feed and gradually work-
ed over to larger grains. Corn bread
crumbs mixed with chopped hard boil-
ed eggs is a good starting feed.

proved its effectiveness in pre-
venting leg-weakness, is aided
by the Cod Liver Meal. These,
blended with the good oatmeal
and other ingredients of Ful-O-
Pep Chick Starter, give chicks
a healthy digestion. Every
mouthful of this mash gives the
chick a proper balance of just
the things it needs.

The results are (1) decreased
mortality; (2) a better digestive
condition; (3) smoother, tighter
feathers; (4) strenger bones;
(5) more rapid growth.

hatched chicks make a. more rapid
growth, growing more economically,
the broilers or surplus cockerels sell
at a. higher price, the pullets come into
production in the fall, and under good
care, continue to lay profitably
throughout the'winter, and make ex-
cellent breeders the following spring.
We suggest that these chicks be
brooded in portable colony houses, and
fed on some commercial chick starting
ration, or on the ration suggested last
week as a. formula for chicks- The
brooder stove should be run for sev-
eral- days before the chicks are ex-
pected, to make certain that the brood-
er is regulated properly and will hold
fire. The temperature should be reg-
ulated so that it is approximately nine-
ty degrees on the floor at the outside
of the canopy, and_this temperature
,can be reduced about five degrees the_
second week. The floor should be cov-
ered with sand before the chicks are
placed in it, and this should be cover-
ed with a litter before grain feeding is
started. -

We are confident that good chicks,
well hatched, brooded in portable col-
ony houses, fed according to the infor-
mation given last week, should do
well.

Leg weakness is not a. disease but
is usually a. condition brought about
by faulty feeding and lack of sunlight.
(I‘he feeding of cod liver oil or the ex-
posure of the growing chick to direct
sunlight will usually prevent this trou-
ble, Cod liver oil when fed to growing
chicks, should be fed at the rate of
about four per cent of the total ration,
and there is very little danger of ‘over-
doing the feeding of cod oil. Many
poultrymen start feeding it when the
chicks are two or three days old, and
continue it till the chicks are out in
direct sunlight, the greater part of
every day.

This may be fed in the grain, or it
may be mixed in the dry mash at the
rate of one pint to twenty pounds of
mash, or it may be fed in semi-solid
milk; for chick feeding at the rate of
about one pint of cod oil to five or
six pounds of semi-solid milk, spread-
ing this mixture on the wall or slap-
ping it on boards, allowing the chicks
to pick it off. -
Bacillary white diarrhoea, and coc-
Icidiosis will be discussed next week.—

COD LIVER OIL FOR CHICKENS.

F OR ages cod liver oil has /been
known as a good tonic for humans,
but it was not until after the discov.
ery of. vitamins that the reason for its
value was discovered. Cod liver oil
was found to be rich in vitamin A and
vitamin D, both fiquite essential to good
growth.

Because of its value it recently has
been 'used in stock feeding with very
beneficial results. it has been found
very satisfactory in remedying rick-
ets, leg weakness and such diseases
in chickens. But some inve'stigators

with grains or other starchy food, and
stored for a time.
search along“ this line the professors
of chemistry in the Wisconsin Uni-
versity made some’tests. These show-
ed that cod liver oil mixed with grain
rations and stored in cans at room
temperatures, retained their properties

had serious losses from White Diarrhea.
We will let Mrs. Bradshaw tell of her ex-
perience in her own words: '

“Dear Sir: I see reports of so my toe.

'ing their little chicks with White'Dinrrhea,

so thought I would tell my experience.
I used ‘to lose a great many from this cause,
tried many remedies and was about dis-
couraged. As a last resort I sent to the
Walker Remedy Co., Dept. 507, Waterloo,
Iowa, for their Walko White ‘Diarrhea
Remedy. I used two 50c packages, raised
300 White Wyandottes and never lost one
or had one sick after giving the medicine
and my chickens are larger and healthier
than ever before. I have found this company
thoroughly reliable and always get the
remedy by return mail.-—-Mrs. C. M. Brada

Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea (Coccidioeis) is caused
by a protozoa] organism of microscopic size
which multiplies with great rapidity in the
intestines of diseased birds and enormous
numbers are discharged with the droppings.
Readers are warned to beware of White
Diarrhea. Don’t wait until it kills half your
chicks. Take the “stitch in time, that saves
nine."~ Remember, there is scarcely a hatch
without some infected chicks. Don’t let these
few infect your entire flock. Prevent it. Give
Walko in all drinking water forthe first
two weeks and you won’t lose one chick
where you lost hundreds before. These
letters prove it;

 

Never Lostla Single Chick

E Mrs. L. L. Tam, Bumette Creek, Ind., .
writes: “I have lost my share of chicks from

White Diarrhea. Finally I sent for two

packages of Walko. I raised over 500 chicks

and I never lost a single chick from White

Diarrhea. Walko not only prevents White

Diarrhea, but it gives the chicks strength

and vigor; they develop quicker and feather

earlier. ’

 

Never Lost One After First Dose

Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah, Iowa,
writes: “My first incubator chicks, when
but a few days old, began to die by the
dozens with White Diarrhea. I tried differ-
ent remedies and was about discourged
with the chicken business. Finally, I sent
to the Walko Remedy Co., Waterloo, Iowa,
for a box of their Walko White Diarrhea
Remedy. It’s just the only thing for this
terrible disease. We raised 700 thrifty,
healthyIchicks and never lost a single chick
after the first dose." '

If you want your young chicks to grow as you never had chicks grow before,
feed them Globe Chick Starter for the first six weeks, then change to Globe
Growing Mash. The results will surprise you. You’ll have the fastest growth,
finest developed flock you ever owned just like H. E. Dell of Caledonia, Mich.,
had. Read his letter:—

"I want to tell you of the success I had with Globe Feeds last season. In all my many
years of experience with poultry, I have never had such results as I had last year with
your good feeds. Iral’sed 4,000 birds last Spring, using Globe Chick Starter and Globe
Growing Mash. My losses were very smalland the entire flock was better developed
than any chicken: I ever raised. At 8 weeks of age the cockerels were ready to market
and in better condition than lever had them before at 10 weeks of age. .I got many
more eggs from the pallet: than in previous years, because they were "I so much
better condition. For these reasons, I shall in the future stick to Globe Feeds."

The reason Globe Growing Mash will make your birds grow faster, develop
quicker is because 24 years of experience in manufacturing poultry feeds has
taught us exactly what ingredients are necessary to produce BEST results. and
we put them in Globe Feeds. Nothing but the BEST materials go into Globe
Feeds and every bag is uniform—ALWAYS THE SAME. That’s why Globe
Feeds have become universally known as the BEST Feeds to Buy.

Dear Uncle Frank:

While I’m sweet sixteen, and a Mer-
ry Circler, I demand an answer to Hel-
en Kish’s letter. .

She says “prohibition can not be en:
forced.” Probably it cannot be enforc-
ed among nations, but in our own
country, it is enforced beyond human
existence, as men and officers risk
their lives in chasing rum-runners,‘and

.going after underworld men.

Helen should have made her wonder-
ful poetry this way.

Mary paints her cheeks,

And she powders her nose,

By crackle! she also can fret,

But she’s a girl that men forget.

Well, well, well, just my luck.

civilized days, we have to consider oth-

we wear. There are other places less
desirable for boils than the elbow.

Dear Uncle Frank:

Well, here I am again Are you very
much surprised? I have been reading
the Michigan Farmer right along and
have enjoyed it very much. I mad the
lettersfrom “Bonnie Blue Eyes” and
“Peter," and thought they expressed
themselves verylwell. I thought the
poem was especially good.

I think it would be fun to discuss
books. I have read story books and
novels ever since I have been able to
pronounce the words. I like Gene
Stratton Porter’s books very well, and
have read most of them. I have read
most of Zane Gray’s books also, but I
don’t like them as well as I used to.
Still, I never pass one up when I get
a chance to read one. Do_you know,
Uncle Frank, I really want to be an
authoress myself. I will have to im-
prove some in my writing, don't you
think so? You must excuse it, though,
because I am in a big hurry and am
using a bum pen.

Uncle Frank, are you personally ac-
quainted with George Nichols? I be-
lieve I would like to know him. He
seems to be a very sensible young
man and able to express his views
very easily and» correctly. Some of
his ideas come almost as high as mine.

Dear Uncle Frank:

I haven’t visited the Merry Circle
Corner for such a long time that I’ve
decided to drop in and see how every-
one is, especially you. I think that it
is unfair to “White Amaranth" that
she is criticized so, because those who
are criticizing her are trying to dis-
courage her talent; anyhow, that’s
how I feel about it. The words she
uses were put in a dictionary to be
used and to make our language a more
perfect one. I wish I could meet her
some time. Does she live on a farm
or in the city?

I live in Detroit and go to a high
school here. High school means hard
work, but it is lots of fun, too I feel
sorry for anyone who cannot go to
high school.

As to evolution, I think anyone who
cares to believe that they a1e the hon-
orable ('3) and distinguished (?) de-

lieve it, but I claim no such honor
—Y0u1 write-once-a- -yea1- -niece Doro-

“White Amaranth” does not live in
the city, she lives in the southern part
of the state. She knows how to use
words. Do you know that monkey
business and evolution are two differ-
ent things? We all evolute, even this
department does. Will probably hear

from you next year, if not before.

Dear Uncle Frank:

I think that “Peter” and “Bonnie
Blue Eyes” both wrote excellent let-
ters which ought to teach other girls
regarding their ways. The poem, “The
Outcast, ” was good,

In regard to “White Amaranth ” I
think it’s all right for her to use the
language she chooses. I prefer the
more simple language, but, of C0111 so,
we all have our different ways and
languages. So let us hear from her
again, and let’s not use her so harshly
hereafter.

I wonder what the boys think of the
"Talk to Boys” on our page. I enjoy
reading them, even though I’m not a
boy. Ialways read them. I think we
could make a pretty good debate 011
“Should we stay on the farm?” don’t
you, Uncle Frank? I think theIe ought
to be some p1etty good arguments on

think about it?—Mildred Miller.

I thought those letters good, too It
1eally would be nice to hear from
“\Vhite Amaranth” ag '.n I am glad
you are reading the success talks to
boys, for they should be helpful to
girls, too, especially in these days
when woman is in most every activity
man is engaged in.

 

CORRESPONDENCE SCRAMBLE.

AM sure that quite a few boys and

girls would like to correspond with
other boys and girls. So, this week
We’ll have another of our scrambles to
give them such an opportunity.

If you take part in this scramble,
please follow directions. If you do
not, you will lose out in the scramble.
~T11is is the way you should do it:
Write a letter to “Dear Friend,” “Dear
M. C.” or something similar. Then
address an envelope to yourself and
put a stamp on it. Next, address an
envelope to Uncle Frank, Michigan
Farmer, Detroit, Michigan.- Enclose in
this letter, your letter and the envel-
ope addressed to yourself. If you are
below fourteen years of age, put the
letter “A” on the outside of the en-
velope addressed to me. If above four-

_teen years of age, use the letter “B.”

If you wish to write to a' boy or a
girl, send a little note with your letter
”telling your preference. )‘V‘e will do
the best we can to give you the kind
of correspondence you want.

IGNORANCE.

tempt to teach them anything.

Johnnie:——“58.”

The superintendent wrote 85 on the
board.

Silence———no comment from anyone.

“You see,” he remarked to the teach-
er, “they don’t observe. Let’s try an-
other.”

Superintendent:-—“James,

“James:—“57.”

The superintendent wrote 75. r

Same result as before, and he re-
marked to the school teacher. “It is

N the beginning, God.” That is

where the Bible, agrees with” all

science, and all science and .phil—
osophy agree with the 'Bible. Before
all else, God. No such description of
the creative process was ever written,
or is likely to be. It is a creation
hymn. In the stately King Jameslver-
sion, it rolls on like poetry. It can
almost be sung.

Now, the study of ancient languages
shows that other nations, like the
Babylonian, had a similar story of ore-
ation. But the Babylonian and the
others are full of fantastic stories of
the Gods, while the Hebrew version
has purified all this, names but the
One God, and leaves out all the bizarre
and impossible tales of the others. If
one is looking for an evidence of in?
spiration, let him
begin with the
Bible’s first chap-
ter, and compare
it with the crea-
tion stories of oth-
er peoples.

“In the begin-
ning God creat-
ed ” As said
“ above, all science
holds to this. Whether the Bible and
science agree on every paragraph is
unimportant, for without God science
would be impossible. The Bible was
not written to teach science, but to
teach religion. As Galileo (I believe.
it was) said long ago, the Bible was
not written to teach how the heavens
go, but how to go to heaven. Some-
times amateur scientists make state-
ments to the effect that science will

do away with God, in time. But such
Ehalf-baked utterances are not support-
{ed by the real scientists. The men
E’who have studied and thought much,
hold that behind what we do see is
iwhat we do not see. Back of the vis
lible is mystery, and can be accr ~ 'l
for only by an intelligent and “
tent God. Says Sir F. Ray L: '3'“ ,
E”No sane man has ever ’DL ,J,
'since science became a definite body
,of doctline, that we know, or ever can
ihope to know or conceive of the pos-
ésibility of knowing whence the mech-
anism has come, why it is there, wh'ith-
er it is going, and what may or may
not be beyond and beside it, which our
senses are incapable of appreciating.
These things are not explained by
science, and never can be.” . And we
ought not to close this paragraph with-
out quoting again .the famous dictum
of Lord'Bacon: “It is true that a lit-
tle philosophy inclineth man’s mind
to atheism, but depth in philosophy
bringeth men's minds about to relig—
ion; for, while the mind of man look-
eth upon second causes scattered, it
may sometimes rest in them, and go
no further; but when it beholdeth the
chain of them confederate, and linked

together, it must. needs fly to Provi—
dence and Deity.”

“Let us make man in our image." A
candle is not as large as the sun, but
its tiny bit of fire is-like that of the
sun, as far as it goes. A tumbler full
of water from Lake Michigan is only
a drop to the vast waters of the lake,
but it is the same kind of water. So
'man has the spirit of God. He is a
tiny spark of the divine. He has capa-
bilities of progressing and becoming
more and mere like God. He is made
in the image, a small image to be sure,
but nevertheless an image, of the
Divine. ' 7

For one thing, man can think God’s
thoughts after Him. Looking up at
the starry sky, he thinks of—the won-
derful Being ‘who made all that. He
counts the stars, knowing that God

'has known their number for.-a long,

long time. ,,S0.Kepler, looking through
the telescope at the midnight sky, ex-
claimed,
thoughts after Thee." Every religions
soul ought to thank God every, morn-

 

 

- Our W «My Sermon—By N .4. Mche

“0,. God. I am thinking [thy-

ing for the beauty of the day that op- ‘

ens upon him. Even though it may
be, stormy, there is enough of beauty
and mystery and might in a storm- to
causeone to wonder at it. _ .
Woman’s suffrage is comparatively
new. But the Bible does not distin-

guish between the possibilities of the '

two sexes. Woman is made to be at
man’s side. The quaint words of old
Matthew Henry are to the point:
“Woman was taken out of man: not
out of his head to top him, nor out of
his feet to be trampled under foot, but
out of his side to be equal with him,
under his arm to ’be protected, and
near his heart to be—beloved."

The man was told to subdue the
earth. It does not say how long this
was to take. A year, or a generation,
.or many ages. As a matter of fact, it
has taken a long time, and the con-
quest is not complete yet. Let me
take a few words from one of the most
devoutly religious scientists of our
day, Prof. J. A. Thomson, of the Uni-
versity of Aberdeen, Scotland: “Let
us think vividly of our ancestors—Jiv-
ing in caves, fearful of beasts, often
dying of hunger or poison, without
wood-work or metals, without fire,
without foresight, and quite unable to
look to the general weal. \Vhat a con-
trast between this picture and ourrlife
today. For now—a-days, the serpent
that bites Man’s heel is, in nine cases
out of ten, microscopic: year by year
Man increases his mastery over the
physical forces: he coins wealth out
of the thin air; he annihilates distance
with his deep devices; he makes the
ether carry his messages; and he is
making experiments in the control of
life. And there is nothing to lead us
to believe that Man has more than
begun to enter into his kingdom."

But in the midst of all this, it was
evident that the Creator had in mind
the fact that Man would have to work.
He was not put here as a millionaire,
with a servant to fetch and Carry for
him. If he subdued the earth it must
come by his efforts. Work! Work!
and more work! Said Christ, “My
Father worketh.” Even the Creator
Himself is a working God.

Every great advance of which we
know has come by immense labor, and
usually by suffe1ing also. Look at the
steam engine, electricity. Look at the
control of disease. If you doubt that
heroism still exists, read up on medi-
cal science, and its advance. Think
of political and religious freedom.
These have come at tremendous cost.
in money, life, pain, hope deferred.
This part of Genesis has something to
say to the people of our day. We are
much inclined to get out of as much
work as we can. Shorter hours and
easier work, and shorter hours and
more pay. Well, much of it is justi-
fied, of course. We do not want slaves
of industry any more than we wanted
black slaves in America But if any
one has not tasted the joys of work
that they really loved, work for the
fun of it, work for its creative side,
they have missed one of the great
blessings of life. Nothing is so good
as work that you want to do.

Work! thank God for the swing of it,
The clamoring, hammering ring of it,
Passion of labor daily hurled

On the mighty anvils of the world.

When it was all done, it was de
scribed as “very good.” God was pleas-
ed with His work. It represented Him.
Is He pleased with us, ‘with our work?

Green Fodder Cro

By R. B. Sz'mprorz

OR a: green fodder crop to help

out late summer pasture, there is

nothing that I have found to equal
Evergreen sweet corn. This, of course,
is an old variety that grows to a large
size and makes a large quantity of
the very best of. green feed for milch
cows and growing pigs. I have found
it to do more to keep up the flow of
'milk and yield of butter—fat than any
other plant I know of along that line.

I see many farmers seem to put too
many head of stock on their pastures,
and when“ the growth of grass begins
to slow up they soon clean it up.

If there is plenty of rain in the lat-
ter part of the summer, the supply of
grass is probably ample, though not
of the best quality for either milk or
butter. But usually a drouth along in
July stops the growth of grass that
has been pastured heavily, and the
herd has to be fed some kind of sup
plementary feed if the flow of milk is
to be kept ”up. Here it is where a
good ample supply Of this Evergreen
sweet corn fits in wonderfully well. I
go out in the morning and give the
cows an armful.,when the leaves are
full of sap and crisp, and they will
usually eat every particle of it, and
the flow of milk is often increased in-
stead of diminished.

Another armful in the cool of the
afternoon keeps them in good order
and they produce butter of the best
quality to sell when the town people
are willing to pay fat prices for same.

If one has real good pasture, and
only needs the sweet corn to help out
during the late summer and early fall,
it should not be planted till after the
other field corn. I usually make about
three or four plantings, the second af-
ter the first is up a few days, and the
third after the second is well started,
and so on till the last planting. If
these plantings are well cultivated.
they will come along one after the
other, just about as they are needed.

In cultivating, the main thing is nev-
er to allow the soil to become crusted
or baked. Keep it loose at all times.
This prevents it from drying out, and
keeps the corn green and growing
nicely. If one has pigs that have to
be kept in a yard all summer, sweet
corn is the best green feed that I
have ever tried for them. I have tried
it lots and know from experience that
it makes ideal feed for the yarded
hogs. In this case I make a planting

as early as is consistent, to be follow-'

ed by other plantings about two weeks
apart. If. my cows waste any, the
hogs clean it all up.

As the first planting is cut, the
ground is plowed, well disced, or rip—
ped, up with a good cultivator and
planted again. This makes some real

, nice feed in the fall when it is greatly

relished. I have had early July plant-
ings to mature before frost, but in the
case of the real late plantings, I often
use some of the earlier varieties of
porn which matures much quicker than
the Evergreen.

For cows and pigs I have had much
”better success with sweet corn than

"with any other fodder crop. The

sorghum cane plant, however, is a
close second, but I like the sweet corn
better.

If the season is right, and your
ground is rich, rape will do well, and
perhaps make lots of green feed, but
' is far from equal-

excellent feed, and I only have two
objections to its use. First, it starts
very slow, and when fully matured the
hard hull around the stalk is not very
palatable to the animals. However,
when fed quite small this latter objec-
tion is overcome.

I have used it a great deal myself,
but never obtained as good results as
from the sweet corn.

DAF'I'ER YOUTH AGAIN WINNER.

 

BAILEY SUGGITT, of Dafter, has

won highest honors for beef calf
club work in the state for the second
consecutive year, according to word
received by D. L. McMillan, county ag-
ricultural agent. Last year Bailey Sug-
gitt won first place in the state con-
test and was awarded a scholarship to
the state college. This year he was
given second place, due to a ruling
that the scholarship could not be giv-
en twice to the same person.

Suggitt, this sixteen-year—old Dafter
youth, has been in beef calf club work
for only two years, Mr. McMillan said.
The calf with which he won state
championship last year also won every
event in which it was entered at var-
ious fairs.

“He is not only a good calf club
member, but he is also a good farm.
er,” Mr. McMillan said. “He has two
pure—bred Shorthorn heifers, and two
registered Hampshire ewes. He will
go into club work again this year with
enthusiasm and with hopes of having
a calf in the 1926 State Fair."

 

CHICKEN FEED FOR HOLSTEIN-
ERS.

 

I

ACOMB county Holstein breeders

celebrated a successful year by

a chicken supper at Washington. No,

gentle reader, not D. C., but Michigan.

Bill Murphy, ex-county agricultural

agent of Macomb county, acquitted

himself in fine style as toastmaster.

Willyum is now in the real estate bus~

iness, doing not too bad, but bothered
at times by his conscience.

The Macomb County Association is
fortunate in having as a member J. E.
McVVilliams, who is vicepresident of
the Michigan Holstein Association. So
Mac was available as a speaker. He
pointed out that the present upward
trend of Holstein values should con-
tinue because of the greater consump-
tion of fluid milk in cities, notably De-
troit, due to better employment Condi-
tions amongst workingmen.

J. G. Hays, state secretary for the
Michigan Holstein Association, talked
over Holstein business pertinent to
Macomb county breeders.

The following board of directors was '

chosen at this meeting: John Rinke,
of Warren; J. E. McW‘illiams, of Mt.
Clemens; E. W. Fenton, Rid‘hmond;
Al Luchtman, Washington; Wm. Ty-
son, Washington; Wm. Schoof, Wash-
ington; Jack Harvey, Utica. This
board will meet soon to elect officers
and to adopt a program of work‘for
1926. -

Merry Maiden’s Brown Lady, 3. Jer-
sey cow, near Charles City, Iowa, pro-
duced 698.01 pounds of butter-fat and
14,935 pounds of milk in 365 days
when she was eighteen years and ten
months old. This record is the high-
est made by a Jersey of her age. '

loss fro-m the spring pig crop from
various troubles, it would amount
to an astonishing figure. I have had
my share of these losses, it seems to
me. And it is all the more unfortu-
nate, because Ihave learned that with
reasonable care and attention this loss
can be almost entirely eliminated.

Scours is a trouble in the spring
pigs that takes a great toll, and is
brought about from various causes. In
many cases it is because the little pigs
get wet and cold or lie in wet beds.
Sometimes the sow herself, taking a
cold, will transmit it to the suckling
pigs and frequently cause trouble.

The feeding of thesow often causes
scours in the suckling pigs. Slops
from the kitchen very often contain
spoiled canned fruit which .is almost
sure to bring on a case of scours.
Scours also results from over-feeding
the sow, causing congestion, which
brings on the trouble in the pigs. Reg-

is the wise plan for
scours.

I If any of my young pigs happen to
become affected with scours, I take a.
teaspoonful of copperas, dissolve it in
hot water, and» give in a gallon of
skim-milk to each sow. This remedy
generally gives the desired results,- but
where skim-milk cannot be had, the
copperas may be given in warm water
with the same results.

Another remedy is the feeding of

scorched flour, or shorts, to the pigs in
sweet milk, if they are old enough to
drink it; if the pigs are too young to
eat, the same remedy can be given to
the sow with good results, although
not so quick in action.
' Thumps in pigs can be very easily
recognized by the characteristic symp-
toms of a jerking movement of the
flank, the pulsation being so violent at
times that, as the pig stands the whole
body seems to jerk backward and for—
ward. This jerking movement is caus-
ed by excessive palpitation of the
heart and diaphragm, this in turn, be-
ing caused by over-feeding and an in-
sufficient amount of exercise. Thumps
are especially common with pigs that
come during the late winter and early
spring months, when the weather is
1often such that the pigs cannot get
out of the pens comertably. ,

I know from experience that there
is always a desire on the part of the
farmer to make his early fall pigs do
well, and the manner in Iwhich the lit-
tle fellows are growing and rounding
out and becoming fat, is noted with-
satisfaction, only to be rudely shocked
some morning when they begin to
show symptoms of thumps, and soon a.
portion (and in my case a few times)
all of the little fellows are gone.

If the weather is such that it is not
safe to turn the little fellows out of
doors and allow them to follow the
sow around at will, the sow must be
turned out of the pen at least twice
a. day. Then if the little fellows do
not care to get about and exercise
themselves, I get into the farrowing
pen and run them around for a few
{minutes each time. The sows must
be fed very carefully and none of the
pigs should be permitted to become
overfat. II

I have tried various remedies for
thumps and scours, but have always
“found prevention‘the best- policy. I
rather prefer to have mypigs a. little
thin than to take chances on having
the scours and thumps.

The bed in which the pigs sleep
should be kept dry and clean atall
times. If it becomes soiled, it should
be immediately removed and a good
fresh supply put in; Wheat or we
straw makes good bedding material,
but about the best i hays evertriéd

MOST UNUSUAL, INDEED.-

 

HE “Millenium” came close to ar-

riving on March 19 in Kent coun-
ty, Michigan. For at the annual meet-
ing of. the Holstein association bf that
county, not only did every breeder
present pay his annual dues, but one
man brought in dues from a Holstein
enthusiast who could not. get to the
meeting himself! I!

With the bunch so thoroughly inter—
estedin their business, as indicated
by this financial miracle, small wonder
that Kent county ranks among the
first as a Holstein center.

"fwasn’t as though they needed the
money either, for the treasurer’s re-
port showed a balance on hand of
$312.77. A good share of this fund
came from the association’s share of
private sales made for members by
County Sales Manager John C. Buth.

Buth reported a good business in
moving surplus stock,< and predicted
a larger turnover this_coming season.
The fact that Kent county is a modi-
fied accredited area, and that there
are approximately 100 Holstein herds
in cow testing association work, ap-
peals to buyers looking for good clean
stuff.

County Agent K. K. Vining told of
the interest along calf club lines—how
six “Holstein” boys had completed a
year’s work. The breeders promptly
passed a. motion authorizing the pur-
chase of show halters to be presented
with the compliments of these youth-
ful boosters of the Black-and-T'Vhite.

J. G. Hays, secretary of the Michi-
gan Holstein Association, discussed
current Holstein matters and assisted
the Kent county boys in getting set for
the coming season’s activities. The
main projects chosen are: Sales, calf
club work, and showing at the fairs,
particularly the growing West Michi-
lgan Fair.

Officers elected: H. A. Fick, Kent
City, President; Dudley \\'aters, Grand
:Rapids, secretary—treasurer; John
\Crum, Lowell, vicerpresident; Thomas
Blanchard, Cedar Rapids, and John C.
Buth, Grand Rapids, were chosen as
directors. Ruth was elected sales man-
ager, and also fair deputy.

GIVE SERVICE ON FEEDER
LAMBS.

 

NATION-WIDE feeder lamb pool

has been organized by member
agencies of the National Live Stock
Producers’ Association of Chicago.
with branch offices in other live stock
market centers.

Last year 68,000 feeder lambs were
purchased direct from the range
through this organization, according
to reports received at the department
of agriculture. Savings affected last
' year amounted to from one to two dol-
lars per hundred weight.

The lambs handled this season will
be mostly from the Montana and Wy-
oming ranges, averaging between fifty-
fiVe and sixty-five pounds. They will
.be from flocks which have been in-
spected, and all inferior stock will be
rejected before loading on cars. The
price 'will be determined by pooling
the costs at intervals, contingent with
volume received from changes in price
conditions. The lambs will be billed
at cost, f. o. b. cars at loading points,
plus $15 commission per car, and five
cents-per head for insurance to cover

TO HAvE TWELVE GRADES 0F
‘ . WOOL.

 

HE proposed numerical grades for

W001 and corresponding grades for
wool tops formulated by the depart-
ment of agriculture in collabortaion
with the department of- commerce, the
associate wool manufacturers of the
United States. the British \Vool Feder-
ation and the Bradford, England,
Chamber of Commerce, Will be the
subject of a hearing in the department
of agriculture on April 29.

Under the new system there are
twelve grades, ranging from thirty-
sixes to eighties inclusive, designed to
meet the requirements for narrower
grades, or a more detailed classifica-
tion, than'provided by the official wool
standards of seven grades established
in 1923, and with which the numerical
grades are correlated.

MEAT EXPORTS SMALL.

 

N ['CH has been said at the agri-
cultural reliet‘ hearings before the
congressional committees relative to
the possibilities of increasing the meat
exports. At present the volume of ex-
ports of meats and meat products is
insignificant in comparison with the
domestic demand. The amount ex-
ported during February was 49,358,979
pounds, valued at $10,081,858, as re-
ported by the department of commerce,
while the exports of animal fats and
oils totaled 75,458,8R6 pounds with a
value of $11,574,475. Higher prices in
this country are held to be responsible
for the small export movement of

,meats and fats. It is only when prices

are so low as to be unprofitable in this

’ country, that there is any considerable

market for American meats and meat
products in foreign countries.
It is claimed that unless the Ameri-

can hog raisers can secure a direct

bounty. or an equalization fee plan
that is workable on their exported
products, to make up the difference
betwren the domestic and foreign
price. they will hardly be justified in
greatly increasing the exportable sur-
plus.

 

DAIRY TARIFF INVESTIGATIONS.

 

_ T the preliminary hearings in the

milk and cream tariff investiga-
tions before the United States Tariff
Commission. held March 25. repre-
sentatives of the dairy interests in the
states bordering Canada. asked for an

embargo on milk and cream from
across the border.
Bradley Fuller, counsel for the

Dairymen’s League, advised that the
commission’s inquiry should be broad-
ened in order to consider the burden
of added costs of producing milk and
cream in New York state and New
England because of the stringent san-
itary regulations. compared with the
unprotected products from Canada.
Cornelius A. Parker, representing

‘the New England Milk Deal'i's’ Asso-

ciation, opposing the request for an
embargo. declared that increased pro—
duction costs were due to increased
consumption of dairy products under
the Volstead Act which had a great
deal to do with the expansion of the
milk consumption market.

Charles W. Holman, representing
the National Milk Producers’ Federa—
tion, requested that the rates as be-
tween butter and fluid milk be equal-
ized as nearly as practicable,

Adequate protection for milk produc-
ers was nece’ssary, said H. K. Bronson,
of New England, because of the ser-
ious condition of the eastern dairy in-
dustry. He said New England farms
were being abandoned at an increasing
rate.

The tariff commission has decided

 

'to confine its production costs studies

. <

to‘Eastern Canada, New‘Tor-k ahd New
England. Consideration will be given“

to costs of production in ”divisions
where the sanitary requirements are
high, and on dairy farms where sani-
tary regulations are comparatively
low. ‘
BUREAU BENEFITS BOTH PRO-
DU,CER AND-CONSUMER.

 

HE bureau of animal industry, like

other branches of the department
of agriculture, is operated for the ben-
efit of both producer and consumer, ac-
cording to E. “1 Sheets, chief of the
animal husbandry division. If no ef—
forts were made toward the produc-
tion of better quality food products in
adequate quantities to meet consump-
tion demands at a low cost, Mr. Sheets
says city folks would suffer more
acutely than would folks on the farms.
The tuberculosis eradication work is
carried on largely to protect the con—
sumer of dairy products.

The investigations conducted by the
animal husbandry division in poultry
breeding, feeding and management has
increased egg production and aided in
distributing the production of eggs

more uniformly throughout the year,‘

thus especially benefiting the users

Blind Staggersre‘About eight weeks
ago my horse was taken with an at-
tack of what I believed to be blind
staggers. (She appeared to be all right
in every way). She would twitch just
a second and then fall, just as though
she were shot. She had them about
three days at irregular intervals. She
has now had four attacks, the first
three just two Weeks apart, and the
last ones a week and a half apart. She
was supposed to foal May 10. but lost
her colt the third attack, from the fall
she had. taken, we supposed. She is in
very good flesh and seems to eat good
between attacks. She stands with her
head hanging almost to the floor, While
she is having an attack, and as soon
as we raise her head to give her medi-
cine she falls. Have fed her alfalfa
hay all winter and have not been
working her, so have fed just a little

oats. W. D.——ln these kinds of cases,
it is always advisable to reduce their,
weight. Feed timothy hay instead of
alfalfa, and discontinue the cats. Give .
a physio, as one quart of raw linseed.
Also take two ounces of potassium io-
dide, and add to one pint of water.
Give one ounce three times daily. This
should be continued five or six weeks.
It would be advisable when you have
its weight reduced, to keep it in that
condition, otherwise it might become
chronic, rendering the horse useless.

Nasal Catarrh.—-My pigs sneeze and
breathe with difficulty. They don’t
seem to be sick. They make a rattling
sound when they breathe, and it is
hard for them to swallow their food. I
had started to fatten these pigs. They
average about 125 pounds. About four
out of the seventeen have this trouble.
They have been bothered a little over
a week. D. E.——This is quite common
in pigs, and is the result of some irri-
tant. Inhaling dust or sleeping in ma—
nure piles, from inhaling the ammon-
ia. Sudden changes in temperature is
also a frequent cause. Removing the
cause is usually sufficient. Sprinkle
dusty floors, keep them away from
straw stacks and manure piles. Keep
quarters clean and free from drafts.

Abortion in Mare—“Ye bought a
team last January. The seller never
mentioned that one of the mares was
in foal and we did not know it. \Ve
were just moving on the farm and the
team did not get worked. It was driv-
en to town a few times. Last Friday
they got away and were not caught
until Sunday. One of the mares gave
birth to a colt too young to .live. What
caused this? Will it be all right to
breed the mare in July? She is sup-
posed to be six years old, but we have
been told she is twelve. Is she too old
to foal? M. C.——If the team ran away.
it was no doubt due to over-exertion
and excitement. It would be all right
to breed her again. She is not too old
to breed.

WHEAT

Wheat prices had another relapse
during the past week. Domestic flour
trade remains slow, foreign demand is
rather spasmodic, and the favorable
outlook for the new crop Of Winter
wheat tends to nullify the effect of
the prospective small carryover Of old
wheat. Stocks of wheat 'abroad have
run low, and there is still foundation
for the belief that supplies available
for importing countries in the next
three months will all be wanted. How—
ever, foreign buyers remain in a.com—
placent mood. The net result is an
uncertain outlook, and an unsettled
tone in the market, but with the main
tendency of prices still. downward.
The crop year has progressed Without
development of extreme scarCity, even
of bread grains east of the Rockies,
where shortage seemed most likely to
appear. As a result, domestic prices
are dropping down to the world level.
Reports upon winter wheat are highly
flattering, with winter-killing smaller
than usual and growing conditions ex-
tremely favorable in the hard Winter
wheat belt from Texas to Nebraska.

It is possible that the crop outlook
will change for the worse, that tight-
ness in the domestic cash wheat situ-
ation will develop, and that importing
countries will become more .anXious to
buy than exporting countries are to
sell. Such conditions are not present
as yet, however, so that the market
has not reached a turning pOint on the
three mouths’ decline.

RYE

Rye has had the benefit of broader
export demand and active domestic
milling demand. The movement from
the country is small, and slightde-
creases are being made in the v1s1ble.
Rye needs steady export_trade and a
stronger wheat market, if prices are
to advance materially.

CORN _ ht ’

Recei ts of corn have been_lig in
the past ten days and but little has
been added to the visible supply. The
recent decline stimulated the cash de-
mand from industries and feeders to
some extent. It is quite possxble that
receipts will continue small during the
next month orsix weeks, while spring
seeding is under way, and that buyers
will be inclined to stock up for their
summer needs. An advance of several
cents could easily result, even though

 

the general indications are for an

abundance of~_corn for many months

, last year.

     

. 30108113 bun. 000.000.0090

OATS

Development of an export demand
featured the oats market during the
past week. Clearances until recently
have been only a few thousand bush—
els a week. Domestic demand also
broadened on the recent low level,
while the movement from the country
has been extremely light. The fact
that bad Weather is. delaying oats seed-
ing stimulated some speculative buy-
ing. The large visible supply and
heavy stocks on farms will prevent a
big advance unless the new crop meets
disaster. The early crop in Texas,
which is first to come to market, prom-
ises to be large.‘

SEEDSd

The cold weather and snow have
slowed down" the demand in the seed
market. Throughout the middle west,
the spring is several weeks later than
Clover seed prices are hold-
ing generally steady, owing to the
small stocks of domestic and good
qualities of foreign seed. The poten-
tial demand for most seeds is believed
to be large, and dealers are anticipat-
ing an active business as soon as the
weather moderates.

HAY

The hay market continues firm with
the scarcity of top grades helping the
sale Of medium and lower grade stuff.
Receipts are generally light, due to
poor roads, and the press of spring
farm work. Although hay prices have
followed a declining tendency since
the first Of the year, they are still sub—
stantially higher than at this time a
year ago. Less hay remains to be
marketed than a year ago, and with
pastures being delayed in most sec-
tions except the Pacific Northwest,
where temperatures are reported to be
the highest in fifty years at this sea-
son, the outlook for prices during the
rest of the season appears favorable.

FEEDS

Feed demand has dulled again, and
the market has weakened after show—
ing temporary strength. Offerings are
not large, as mills are taking care of
orders placed on the advancing mar-

ket and are not pressing sales. If the
weather continues unfavorable to pas-

tures, ‘ the demand for concentrates

may improve. '
EGGS

A liberal consuming. demand is one
of the chief factors of strength in the
fresh egg market. Prices‘advanced
again last week, and the outlook fav-
ors a firm market. Receipts at the
large‘distributing markets are still
smaller '"than at the corresponding
time a yea: ago. Egg production has
undoubtedly been retarded. by the re-
cent stormy weather, so thaf supplies
are likely to continue to fall short Of
last season. Eggs are reported to be
slow in reaching country markets due
to bad roads. Country costs are high,
in some cases, out of line with the city
markets. Eggs are being bought for
storage, although prices are higher
than are generally considered “safe,"
and accumulations to date are smaller
than at this time in 1925- _

BUTTER

Butter prices are gradually drifting
down, and still lower values are ex-
pected before confidence is entirely
restored in the market outlook. Val-
ues strengthened somewhat last week
due to stormy weather and delayed
shipments, but are not expected to
continue firm after the weather mod-
erates. Production of fresh butter con-
tinues liberal; stocks in storage are sev-
eral million pounds larger than a year
ago, and, in spite of general reductions
in retail prices”, butter consumption
has failed to catch up with production.
Fancy butter is in liberal supply and
sells at only a fractional increase over
regular scores. Production may be ad-
versely affected by the late spring,
so that the gain over last season will

POTATOES , ~ f

The pOtatO market is in the strong- "

est position in years. Prices on old
stock advanced to the'hig‘hest point
for the season, and new potatoes are
selling at the highest prices since 1920.
Shipments of old potatoes have fallen
off due to decreasing supplies avail-
able and to lighter haulings. The
southern crop has been delayed by
cold weather, so that peak shipments
will not , come until in May, ‘ieaving a.
long marketing period for the old crop.

cession in business activity that would
further curtail the business of mills is

Potatoes reached the highest price

year ago, selling in a range of 28@
