DETROIT, MAY 25, 1926

CURRENT COMMENT





OR nearly a month





 





discussing the Han-

gen agricultural price stabilization

bill. After that, amendments were

' considered intermittently for many

days. But the situation, instead of

becoming more complicated, seemed

gradually to evaporate into thin air.

‘ Shortly after the debates started,

proponents of the Haugen bill became

discouraged with the outlook and be-

gan to offer concessions? They first

agreed to a reduction of the price sta-

bilization appropriation; then to an

immediate imposition of an equaliza-

tion fee- on sales of basic farm prod—

ucts, and finally to the elimination of

the embargo provision and other fea-

tures.



The revised measure, however, fail-

ed to add any appreciable strength to

the: forces favoring the measure. The

retention of the tariff provision prob-

ably' had the effect of divorcing some

strength from the, south. Friends of

the bill would not desert their. posi-

tion on the tariff provisions, with the

results that it was possible to muster

not more than 170 votes for the meas-

ure, while 220 votes were required for

a majority of the whole.





Later, efforts were made to unite

the supporters of several relief meas-

ures or: a compromise basis by attach-

ing to the Aswell bill a provision for



, federal loans to cooperatives. There

is, however, little to encourage hopes

along tln's line. Chances therefore for

Further, as the campaign proceeded,

Last Thursday we visited a farmer

in Charlevoix county, whose herd of

pounds for the past two years. This

man has not yet had time or means,

to: develop a fancy farm, nor was he

able to buy cows with high-producing

records. He spent relatively little

money, but much study and care to

put his herd on this high yielding

basis. This man did not have one bit

better opportunity than ten thousand

other farmers of the state have had to

develop such a herd.

since it relieves the farm man





and even more so, the woman on the

farm, of the hard and (trudging labor,

said the speakers at the Conference





1’ on Rural Electrifiéation at- Chicago.





Prof. C. I. Christie gave the first





need of the farm home as running,





water, then furnace heating, then

light, then power, andshowed how

electric power was the cheapest and





best answer forthree of timely: and.





‘how electric power had in some‘cases

dairy herd which had previously taxed

the energies of two women and two





cases where, with electric power, five

cows had been milked for thirty-three





_. days at a‘ total energy cost of seventy-





;eighf cents, and eight cords of wood





”.had been sawed at an energy cost of





six cents per cord.



Mrs. Harry M. Reifsteck, a farm

housewife, explained how electric pow-

er made farm life better for the wom-

an. She was especially enthusiastic

as to the results obtained with her

electric range, and stated that from

the standpoint of convenience, com-





" fort, cleanliness, Safety, “and dependa-





; cool in .





bility, it surpassed anything she had

ever used. It is always ready at the

turn of a switch, keeps the kitchen

smoke and dirt on the kitchen walls,

.more uniform. Foods cooked in the





‘ :electric oven do not require so much

' ,watcr, and \thus have better flavor and





   





 

 





food value, meats do not shrink and

do not require basting and watching.

.Her tests indicate that the use of the

electric range costs more than cook-

ing by coal or kerosene, but she finds

the great saving in labor, and—atten-

tion paid several times over .for the

additional cast. . .



,She also spoke very highly of the

convenience of her electric refriger-

ator. They had not used an ordinary

labor cost of hauling ice from town,

and their losses on Cream and \food

products had been quite serious. Now,

with electric refiigeration this is all

changed, the temperature can be kept

day and night at any desired point,

foods are saved, the cream is kept

sweet, and a better price obtained.

Frozen desserts and ices need only to

be mixed up and set in the small pans

to be ready at meal time. She also

valuable because the woman can sit

while operating it. But'if she could

haVe but one electric machine, the one

she would select would be the electric

washer. This is partly because of the

great saving of hard labor, and partly.

because it can be.started and allowed

to run while other tasks are being

done. Because of this she has time

to do the things she wants to do, more

time to spend with her family, time

and energy to take part in community

and outside affairs, and more time for

improvement and culture. She would

much prefer to be considered a good

homemaker than a good housekeeper,

Mrs. Reifsteck also spoke of the

great saving of labor from the wash-

ing machine, ironing machine, and

vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner

was used not only for the rugs, but

also for the draperies, furniture, car

cushions and ‘floors, and for cleaning

but electricity gives her time that she

may become proficient in homemak-

ing and doing household duties.



Miss Eloise Davidson, of Iowa State

College, spoke of the effect of drudg-

ery as shortening the attractiveness

and the health of farm women, and of

the great amount of time the average

homemaker must spend in taking care

of her home duties, the average wom-

an spending from ten to fourteen

hours daily in actual work, and from

this. standpoint puts homemaking in

the Big Business class. She showed

the great saving in time and energy

which electricity allowed, and put em-

phasis on considering not so much

what you pay for a labor-saving utility.

as what you get for your money.

While the ladies on the program em-

phasized the importance of electricity

in lightening the drudgery and. making

farm life more attractive, other speak-

ers brought out just as forcibly its

money saving and money-making pos-

sibilities. Prof. J. B. Davidson review-

ed the application of power to farm '





production and showed how the total -. '





income per farm worker variedvvery

closely with the amount of power used

by each farm worker. 'He divided

farm power into light stationary pow—

er, heavy stationary power, and’field

power, and showed how electricity can.

easily be applied to light stationary

power, and with certain modifications

to what we now consider heavy sta.

tionary power: also that by the use

of cable drive and light movable in}

plements, certain field operations lend

themselves very nicely to the use of

electric power, and showed illustra

tions of: some very interesting experi-

mental work along this line carried

out at Iowa State College. He gave

some very interesting data" on the we

perimental work in feed grinding by

electric power carried out on one of

the farms on the Garner Experimental

Electric Line, using a one horsepower

motor and a small feed grinder equip--

ped with grain storage bin above, and

elevator to take away the ground feed.

By this method the feed was ground!

considerably cheaper than by the us—

ual custom grinding.



Mr. Ralph Arbogast, successful farm

er near Union City, Michigan, showed

how a twelve—years’ use of electric

power had helped him, not only in.

making farm life fnore convenient and

attractive, but in making the farm re- .

turn a larger net income. Among the

specific operations mentioned were-

feed grinding, electric driven grain

elevator, light in poultry house, use oi

electric washer, electric lights, and so

on. He estimated that in twelve years

the electric ’elevator had saved in

men’s wages over $700, besides saving

1,000 bushels of grain from wastage,

the electric washer about $1,800, and

the electric lamps nearly $300 in labor

in cleaning lamp chimneys.





Profit— From Laying Type Ducks

' ‘An Easy-toeRdire Star/i728 Wéz'cé WI/ Profit Me Port/try Eméwiast

By Charles Chesley





HERE are twodifferent types of

ducks which may be said to be

profitable for the poultryman to



keep. The Pekin is the best known

of the meat type, while the Indian

Runner fairly represents the egg type,

although as we have bred the Run-

ners. they are, really dual-purpose

birds. A‘s a rule, we do hot hatch the

youngsters until May, frequently not

till» the slatteri’part ' of» the' menth. We

have never had as good luck with

early ducklings, In our experience a

good supply of green grass is needed

by the little fellows when they first

see the light of day. They also need

sunshine and ‘warmth. For our small

flock we have hatched the eggs under

hens, in the main, although duck eggs

are not difficult to hatch in incubators.

;Some years ago the Indian Runner

duck was very popular and was much

advertised as an egg producer. Then

there came a Slump in the number of





birds kept. and some people seem to





the opinion that this duck is on

,, it}! ,





 

 





 





' lings‘hatched' in May should start lay-





ing shortly after they are four months

old. We have had them do it many

times. They will lay almost every day

.until real cold weather comes on, that

is, for at least two months. We figure

that each duck should lay sixty eggs

in the fall. Under, ideal conditions

the winter vacation should not last





_more 'than a month. Sometimes it can





be practically eliminated. The birds





,must‘ have dry quarters and the pens





must be kepticlean. They also need

plenty of sunlight. They require ra-

tions practically like those fed to lay-

ing pullets. ‘ The grain must be fed in

the form ‘of a moist mash, in the main,

although we have learned that the

birds will eat-a certain amount of dry

mash. They wastea good deal of it,

however, so ,we prefer to feed in

troughsabout three times a day. No

surplus. is allowed to remain, as 'it

soon becomes sour and foul. The one

tbibg which is important in feeding





‘ E , j- ducks is to have plenty. of water close





' at hand, and in a fountain deep enough .

, ‘ ' ,gfindg that eggsfrom the .twmyear-pld ._

so the birds cannot get into the water.

Thus a fountain six inches deep, with

a hole in the cover large enough so

the ducks can immerse the head, is

better than an entirely open fountain.

Provide a pool for them to get into

bodily once in a while, so they can

wash the feathers. Ducks do not need

a lot of water except for drinking pur-

poses.



The young ducks.after the period of

laying in the fall, will have a slack

period of from three to six weeks dur-

ing the winter. They may stop laying

altogether, or lay two or three eggs 3.

week, depending, as has been- stated,

on the rations and the quarters. They

will start again in February and lay

practically every day until the first of

July/Summer is the time of moulting.

Our ducks. usually produce a few eggs

during July and August, ‘ also all

through the fall. The old birds, how-

ever,-will not lay as steadily during

September 'and October as will the

young birds. They will make an ear-

lier‘ start“ the second , winter,:-« and we





That seems to be the method of feeds, /.





than from the younger birds. There



is not much difference in fertility, but



the ducklings come out stronger and



there are fewer that die in the shells.



During the breeding season it is rath-v

er important that water for the birds



to bathe in be provided. A tub may



be sunk in the ground and filled up



occasionally. Of course, it is better



and cleaner if a running brook can be”

provided.





A word as to ways and methods of

feeding the ducklings. The first feed

should be about one-third fine sand.

We have“ tried all kinds of ways to

feed them, but the sand seems to be

necessary, so we mix it with the feed

in spite of expert advice to the con-

trary, which we have seen printed in

poultry journals and bulletins. Rolled

oats,‘ mixed feed and clean sand, .'

moistened with milk curd in a crumbly

mash. This is fed in small quantities

and the ducklings are provided with

water into which they can immerse

the entire head. They shovel up some

of the feed and dip it into the water.)

or five times a day/and let them out“

INVESTIGATE TH E FERTILIZER

MONOPOLY.





 





 





NVESTIGATION of an alleged na-



tion-wide fertilizer monopoly has

been begun by the department of ,jus-

tlce. Many eastern fertilizer manu-

facturc—rs have been called to testify

as to what they know concerning the

fertilizer industry, and its efforts to

combine.





HQO‘VER WANTS POTASH MINES

DEVELOPED.





 





ECRETARY of Commerce Hoover



is urging the development of

American potash deposits as a means

pf breaking the German-French mo-

nopoly. He believes that the assur-

ance that American deposits exist

would protect us from exorbitant pric-

es, even though our mines are not de-

veloped. A bill providing for annual

appropriations of $550,000 for five

years to be used in joint investigations

of our, potash deposits by the United,

States Geological Survey and Depart-

ment of Agriculture, has passed the

senate and its friends are making vig-

orous efforts to secure action in the

house. It is said that France has re-

cently reduced the price of potash be-

cause she fears American develop-

ment.





VAGRICULTURAL COLLEGE STU-

DENTS DECREASE.





 





T was found that the total number



of students enrolled in the forty-

eight land grant colleges has increased

112 per cent during the past ten years,

while during the same period the num-

ber of students enrolled in agricultural

courses in the same colleges decreas-

ed three per cent. Thus the commerce

specialists conclude that the decrease

in agricultural college enrollments in

recent years has reflected the eco-

nomic depression which agriculture

has experienced. By the same course

of reasoning, the increase in agricul—

tural college attendance during the

ten years preceding the world war re-

fiected in part the increasing prosper-

ity of agriculture during that period.



The chamber of commerce agricul-

tural bureau concludes that the post-

war agricultural depression has work-

ed in two ways to decrease the enroll-

ments in agricultural courses. In the

first place, many farmers have not had

the surplus funds with which to send

their sons to college, particularly since

college expenses have increased so

GOVERNMENT ECONOMY.





 





HE farm organization leaders who

are trying to get through some

kind of agricultural relief legislation

are pointing out that government

economy is seldom considered except

when proposed farm measures are un-

der discussion. Members of congress

made a determined stand for economy

when they refused to appropriate 56,-

000,000 for the-eradication of tubercu-

losis in dairy herds; but they readily

passed the bill authorizing an approp-

riation of $165,000,000 for the erection

buildings throughout the

country, which is now in conference

and- will soon receive the President’s

signature. -

s-A Farmer’s Fair-

The man referred to is Walter Pal-

mer, a cordial, friendly, modest man,





' who is aglow with enthusiasm when





talking about his prepa1ati0ns for the





fair, but shles off when you ask him’





to talk about himself.



No better choice could have been

Mr. Palmer has devoted many

years to breeding, deveIOping and





judging live stock, and was manager





of the live stock department of the

Califoinia National Live Stock Show

for several years.





Mr. Palmer is also interested in

horSes. He is a charter" member of

the Remount Board, and one of the

original seven men who founded the

Remount-ASsoCiation. During the war

he wls a captain in the Remount Di-

vision of the army. He has-been a

judge of horses at almost every state

fair and all big horse shows in the

country foryears. He was one of the

judges at the St. Louis VVorld’s Fair in

1904,al_1d again at the Panama Pacific

Exhibition at San Francisco ‘in 1914.



“This is a farmer’s fair,” said Mr.

Palmer. “Its success depends on the

patronage of the farmer,” and then he





went on to. outline many of the new

features which will be “introduced this

This is a phrase which should

‘stick'in the minds of most people, who

plans to

attend the fair at this time each year.



This year. the agricultural, horticul~

tural and floricultural exhibits which

previously have been combined, will

be divided and housed in a splendid

new building, in a delightful setting.

The new building, which will be a dis-

tinct permanent asset to the State

Fair, will be completed by August 1.



Conservation of Wild Life.



Conservation of the wild life of the

state is one of the most important

problems before t‘ce people in these

years when the loss of forests and the

thoughtless destruction of the past has

produced such dire results.





Consequently, the Wonderful exhibit-





which Mr. John Baird, head of the

state conservation department, and his





assistants are preparing, Will be of un-





USual interest.-

The rich resources which the state





_ calf club,





o

in Fair- ‘P/am'





possesses in mineral wealth and for-





~estry will also be represented in spe-





cial exhibits devoted to these subjects.

In a class by itself, and also of great

educational value, is the “Junior State

Fair," participated in by the boys’ and

girls’ clubs, with all the features of

the “big show” itself. There will be a

sheep, club, milking, and

many other contests, with prizes

awarded to successful participants.

The forme1 women’s building will

this year be devoted entirely to the

needs of the Junior Fair. Not to dis-

please the ladies, the beautiful colonial

Administration Building will be turned

over to them and the upper floors





_used for the display of ladies’ handi-





work.’





Someof the best stables in'America i





will be represented at the Michigan

State Fair Horse Show, which is ‘in

charge‘of Mr.'Howard Allen, of Wash-

ington CourtHouse, Ohio, one of the

best known managers in the country.

Ju'dgeslof national reputation have

been engaged. Afternoon classes will

be held at the grand stand and in the

evening at the Coliseum, which seats

more than nine thousand people.

With all the thought that is being

given to the_exhib_its and the educa-

tional side of the State Fair, the en-





tertainment angle is not being over— '





looked. But on this subject, the men

who are making the arrangements

maintain a mysterious silence.



“Yes, we’ll have some real thrills,”





one of the men in charge admitted.‘





“The light, as well as the serious side

is not being neglected. The thousands

who come to the State Fair every year

demand the best in entertainment, and

we are going to provide that for them.



“Noihing is being overlooked that

will make this year’s fair bigger and

better than any of its predecessors. I_

often wonder if we all realize what a

bountiful state Michigan is. Tourists

come from all over the country to

look us over. Sometimes they go away

knowing more about us than we have

ever been able to find out about our-

selves.



“The Greater Michigan State Fair

this year, if it does nothing else, will

help to sell our great state to our-

selves.”





Swear by County Agent





Get Advanced I dear From H 2372





HEN Mr. Frank Wyrick, of Che-



boygan county was crowned



“King of the Spud” at Lansing

last winter by virtue of the grand

championship which he won at the

Top 0’ Michigan >Potato Show, the

Mayville Show, and the State Show,

he was asked how he became so skill-

ed in the business of producing qual-

ity potatoes and selecting the very

best for competition at potato shows.

Without a second’s hesitation, he re-

plied, “Because 01- the inspiration and

assistance which I' received from the

county agents which we have had in

Q-heboygan county. »I would still 'be

plodding along with my eyes on the

ground and my nose in the grind-stone

much contented With the business of

agent.”



Still more emphatic was Mr. Irvin

Cole, of the same county. He said,

“County agent work has made it pos-





sible for me to average $20 a day .





gross on my farm for the last three

years. I am absolutely safe in saying

this, in spite of the fact that we have

not had a county agent for the last

two years because my entire farm pro-

gram is based on the plan and advice

of the county agents previous to that

time. I regretexceedingly that along

with the rest of the farmers of our

county, I am now compelled to get

along without this assistance.”



This is rather convincing testimony

from two farmers who are such suc-

cessful farmers that they might be

considered too advanced for any coun-

ty agent to advise. It is particularly

convincing in "View of the fact that

their majOr crop—potatoes—has expe-

rienced three years of such low prices

that most of their neighbors found it

diflicult to pay their taxes. We talked





to one of their neighbo1s and were-

,over sixteen inches. Preferably the

axle should be fast in the wheel and

turn in bearings under the two-by-

fou1’s,as this t3 pe of bearing does not

bind so badly when the weight tends

to put the ba1 row to one side."





HOME-MADE CRACK FILLERS.





 





.Could you give me some informa-

tion about home—made crack fillers? I

have a white pine floor with cracks

one-quarter to one-half inches wide in

it. Will such filler stay in cracks of

such size if covered with several coats

of paint? Would appreciate any infor-

mation on crack fillers—C. L.



For ordinary floors where the cracks

are not very large, a common crack

filler is made by mixing one part of

sifted air-slaked lime with two parts

of rye flour and enough boiled linseed

oil to make it the consistency of soft

putty. The sides of the crack should

then be wet with boiled linseed oil,

applied with a stiff feather or small

brush, and the putty forced in with a.

putty knife. Another cheap crack fill-





er is made by dissolving two ounces of

glue in a. quart of‘water and when the

solution has cooled to lukewarm, stir-





ring in enough of equal parts of fine'





ha1d33ooll sawdust whiting to fOrm a

stifi paste.



Another recipe is to mix the corn

starch with one part coach japan and

two parts copal va1nish to the con-

sistency— of stiff putty, and then press-

ing it into the cracks after they have

been painted wi “1 boiled linseed oil.



~Fer wide cracs inwhite pine floors

take ordinary putty, add aclittle japan

drier, and' press it into- the oiled

cracks. ’ If the cracks are over one-

fourth‘ inch, it would bewell to put a

strip of lath underneath, or tack a

lath into the crack. so itwill not come

up level with the floor, and then paint

with oil and fill with putty filling—D.





MOVING A WINDMILL “rowan.





 





FUWRIBER writes us that the



well overwhich his windmill is

located had failed completely and that

he had drilled another well at a dis-

tance of about 150 'feet and has struck

an abundant supply of good water, and

wishes to know if he can successfully

pump ”water by means of wires and

quadrants, or whether he should try

to move his windmill to the new lo-

cation. and if so, should he move it

standing. or take it down and erect

it 03 er the new well.



The use of quadrants and heavy

wires is possible for pumping over a

short distance, but is more of an oc-

casional or temporary expedient and

usually should not be put in as a per-

manent installation over a series of

years. The parts wear, the posts and

supports give and let the parts get

out of alignment, and the outfit needs

considerable attention and repair; so





,that moving the windmill would prob-





ably be the better in the long run.

If the mill is to be moved very far,

CELERY MEETINGS.





 





BREE meetings were held in Ot-

Mr. Ray Nelson, of the botany depart-

eases and their control. The celery

business is a million and a half indus-

celery, it is estimated, should add flf«

teen to twenty per cent to the value

of the crop. » The formation of grow-

PINWORMS.





 





 





 





 





 





~ WORMS are disgusting things, es-





_pecially when a parasite of the



human bodyfi The only reason

for Writing about them in a paper like

ours is the chance of helping someone

get rid of them.



Pinworms are quite often found in

the human intestine. They may be

taken into the mouth by eating un-

washed vegetables or fruit, or they

may find entrance from fingers infect-

ed by someone already a victim.



The eggs develop as they pass down

the intestinal tract and by the time

I the rectum is reached the female

enough to continue the infectimon



The tieatment shOuld be given un-

der the direction of your local doctor.

Sometimes it can be wholly cleared

up by local enema, giving first of all

a rectal enema of warm salt watei

(two tablespoons of salt water to the

quart of water), and following with a.

small enema of infusion of quassia.

~ It is often necessary to combine

this treatment with the administra-

tion of santonin' and calomel by the

mouthhbut in mild cases the salt wa-

ter enema may ‘clear up the whole

trouble. More severe cases'do better

with quassia injections; one per cent

soap solution; or in some cases cider

vinegar, well diluted, has been used

successfully.



Hands and finger nails must be

scrubbed thoroughly to avoid reinfec-

hardest matters to control is the ten-

The best control for these maggots





' for radishes and early turnips is cor-





rosive sublimate. This is a. white

druggist for two to three dollars per

pound. The material is dissolved in

the plants in the row so that“ the soil

There is very little danger of

injuring the plant by the chemical

about ten days, a second application

should be made. The value of this





‘ control is greatly reduced if delayed

: too long, as the maggots may have





gained entrance to the roots and es-

tion should be madg when the seed-

first pair of true leaves are formed".

Sometimes a third application is nec-

acre per application, depending on the

,Sevoral points‘ should be borneiin/

mind in using this material. First,





L that it is poisonous and should be:





used with the care that poisonous ma-

terials are handled. Secondly, that the

solution is very corrosive with metals

and should be mixed in glass, earthen-

ware, or wooden pails. Furthermore,

the chemical properties of the solu-

tion are injuied by the action of the

metal containers. '—'—E. P. Lewis.

CUCUMBER SPOT.

cucumbers on the same place again?

Is there any cure for it? I also have

sweet clovel plowed down. Will gar-

den beets do well on that? If not, what

wili be the best to plant on it?——-—J. S.





We do not advise planting cucum-

bers two years in succession in the

same field, for there are a number of

diseases which may be carried over

in the soil, or in the old vines left on

the ground. We would advise using

fresh, clean ground each year and al-

lowing at least three years to elapse

before again using for cucumbers.



I believe that you will get excellent

results in planting gardembeets where

sweet clover has been plowed down,

for the reason that the clover decays

very rapidly and should furnish an

abundance of humus as well as con-

siderable fertility—George E. Starr.

PAINS IN THE BACK.





 





I had the flu last winter and had an

awful pain in my back and a stiff

neck, and have the pain in my back

yet I went to see a doctor about it.

I always thought it was on my kid-

neys, but the doctor said I had good

kidneys, and I have lots of headaches

and am nervous and can’t go to sleep





I am twenty-three years old

and my weight is 138 pounds, and my

height five feet nine inches. I would

like to gain some.——E. L. B





I wish folks would get through with

the idea that pain in the back means

disease of kidneys. It is rare that

kidney troubles cause any special pain

in the back. Your symptoms do sug-

gest improper elimination, but it is

more likely that the bowels are at

fault than the kidneys at your age.

‘Go to bed early. Sleep in .the open

air. Take a cool sponge bath every

morning: Eat plenty of nourishing

food. Use'no coffee, tobacco or alco-





bowels move every day. I.will send

you my special letter about constipa-

tion if you forward a stamped self-

addressed envelope.‘ Quit thinking of

your ailments. You will soon be well.

by the taste between an ordinary hen

may be a matter of feeding, anyway.

Fed like hens, there is no reason why

ducks’ eggs should be different in taste

from those produced by biddy. Where

trouble of this kind-is noted, it is be-

cause the ducks are not kept clean,

that is, they are allowed to feed any-

yard. It. is probably true that the

eggs are not very good under such

conditions. we have sold duck eggs

, HEN the lettuce and radishes

make rows,of shining green

across the brown soil of the



, Michigan gardens; when the



click of the lawn mower drifts in with

the dust through the open windows;





. when the circus is passing and the





blare of the caliope is heard in the

land; when the old Plymouth Rock

hen sits placidly on a door knob and





"watches the last lot of chicks taken





from the breeder; when- the carpet

beater swishily starts the accumula-

tion of last winter’s germs on their

destructive way; the housewife chases

a. white moth miller down to dusty

death, and the lord of the manor car-

ries the sprouted potatoes out ofthe

cellar, the thoughts of the multitude

turn lakeward. As soon \as the furs

and flannels are put away in moth

balls, the lure of the lakes is irresist-

ible. We close our eyes and hear the





whirr of the reel, the paddles chunkg

ing, and the waves lapping along the

shores of some placid lake.





beautiful lakes, was any land so fav-

ored as our own Michigan? We shall

soon be known as the summer play-

ground of this country. .



rOne of the numerous beauty spots

of Michigan is Hubbard Lake, in A1-

cona county, not far from Alpena. Be-

ing a few miles off the trunkiline, tour-

ists have bowled by it on rubber tires

and ball bearings. but the favored

ones v. 110 have visited it can never for-

get it—the wonderful blue of the lake

with its fringe of yellow sand; its

shore sloping back to forests of splen-

did trees in which deer may be fre-

quently seen, gives the observer a de-

licious thrill of pleasure.



Anybody who can watch a bobber

can catch fish in Hubbard Lake. The

story is told of a young lady visitor

who, up to that time, had never been

able to catch a fish. She threw out

her line and in a few moments ex—

claimed, “VVhat shall I do, I’ve lost my

bobber?” and when instructed to draw

in her line, brought out a splendid

bass. This lake is fed by dozens of

streams and brooks coming down from

the hills, and the water is carried out

over the dam, making the water of

Hubbard Lake always live and fresh,

which accounts for the firmness of the

fish, for which Hubbard Lake is noted.



Bears and deers are often seen by

tourists in their wanderings through

the woods. The deer will goloping

away, and-bruin will also go army, but

is more deliberate-about it. He does

not care to hobnob with visitors, no

matter how desirable friends' they

might prove to be. He is an aristocrat

and will permit no liberties. Mrs.

Charles Madison, who has lived at

Hubbard Lake for many years, tells

us that she has eaten the flesh of a

young bear and declares it to be ten-

dter 1and juicy, like choice cuts of beef-

s ea ‘.





One of the‘very interesting features

of Hubbard Lake is the settlements

of Indians around it. The Chippewas

inhabited the Hubbard Lake region,

and many of their descendants still re-

main, being attracted by the game,

berries and birds. The Hubbard Lake

region abounds in game; it is berry-

pickels’ paradise, for all kinds of her-

ries grow and bear profusely—straw-

berries, raspberries, blackberries,

huckleberries, Wintergreen berries, and

worlds of juniper berries. Also there

is a wonderful variety of birds—whip-

poorwills, killdeers, wild geese, wild

ducks, and the largest gulls the writer

has ever seen. ,



Chief Henry Sah-gon-a-ka-to, the

Great Chief of the Chippewas, dwelt

on the shoresof Hubbard Lake, and

here among the great pines, he gath-

ered his powerful tribe about him to

hunt and fish. The old chief often

told of his thrilling experience when,

as a mere bo)’. he saw the Struggle of

his tribe, commanded by Pontiac, as

they laid siege to old Fort Michilli-

mackinac, occupied by Major Ether-

ington and his ninety-two soldiers and

four English traders. The Chippewas

had come from all the region around,

as far down as Toledo, to take. part

in the massacre planned bysPontiac.

Major Etherington knew that the” In-

dians were not altogether guileiess,





but he did not believe the reports of.





 





 





David Cloud and Aunt Lucy.





their depredations, and neglected to

take active precaution. On the second

of June, the birthday of the King, in

1763, the Indians engaged in what ap-

peared to be a mild and amiable game

of lacrosse. The officers and soldiers,

suspecting no treachery, stood by as

idle spectators, at last becoming in—

tensely interested in the game. When

at last the savages knocked the ball

over the stockade, the gates of the old

fort were thrown open and the red play-

ers rushed after it. A party of squaws

standing near had furnished the ball

players with tomahawks, which they

had concealed under their jackets. The

blankets and jackets were thrown

aside and the massacre began. The

amazed Englishmen were defenseless.

Some of the Indians assassinated those

on the outside of the fort, While others

rushed inside. All Wasblood, carnage

and confusion. Lieutenant Janette and

seventy of the'occupants of the fort

were killed. Three of the traders and

twenty-three soldiers were taken pris-

oners, as was also Major Etherington.

They were afterward released. .





Until a few years ago Chief Henry

Sa-gon-a-ka-to, a son of the old chief,

resided on the west bank of Hubbard

Lake.

region of Alf Sable, further north-to

Presque Isle, and up to Mackinaw,

would gather at Hubbard Lake to fish,

hunt and hold their celebrations. They

would join hands and form into great

circles and dance their weird dances.

Their wild whoops, the rataplan of

their tom-toms, and flat, shallow

drums echoed and re-echoed across the

wimpling' waters of the. moonlit lake.



The Indian, David Cloud, who has

his home near the lake, figured prom-

inently in a splendid Indian scandal,

when he stole from the young Chief

Henry Sa—gon-a-ka-to, his much loved

wife. David Cloud took her to his

home and she lived with him until her

death. He never did David Cloud any

injury, though he [threatened him in

the most violent and blood-curdling

manner.-





After the death of the farther wife

of Chief Sa—gon—a-ka-to, Indian Dave





took to himself another wife,- although»





he is now over eighty years old. When

the writer paid David Cloud and his

wife a visit, they were working hap-

pily about their home, a mag;

nificent Plymouth Rock rooster and

any number (if matronly looking hens

dusted themselves under the trees,

while, Mrs. Cloud, familiarly known as

“Aunt, Lucy-’11; was bringing out ’her

wonderful. woven baskets. Aunt Ljucy





always weavesher baskets with a few

strands of "sweet grass somewhere -





.aboutjthem,so they are always f ag.

Aunt Lucy is a person





tic taste, and the coloring and shape





, of her baskets make them outstanding





among Indian weaves. She loves Sat-

ines, attracted by the, sheen of this

fabric, and she does not scorn any-





jone’s old hat, provided it has blue or

green roses on it, or some other orna- ’

She is often a visitor at the Madison

hometand always expects a bit of

FEW days ago, a member of the



Allendale Farmers’ Club called



on a brother farmer, Newton



Parish, who is well-known and

has been in ill health for nearly two

years. As it is hard to secure farm

help at the present time, he was far

behind with his spring work. The fol-

lowing night, being the one for the

club meeting, the case of this brother

in need of help was brought before

the club, and the vote wasyunanimo'us-

ly in favor, of helping by a real old-

fashioned bee, and plans were set’in

motion at once to carry it out. The

day selected was Wednesday, May: 12,





which was an ideal day for the work. ,





On that date the‘ workers ‘began to

assemble about eight o’clock.) They

came so fast that it was a task to

place each one to work at the. best

advantage, but that was soon adjusted

and everything was in full swing turn-

ing oh the work at' a wonderful rate

of speed. One of the men remarked

“that it was as busy a place as Mon-

roe avenue in Grand Rapids at noon.”



«At noon a bountiful dinner was serv-

ed by the workers and their families.

This part of the work was looked af-

ter by the ladies, who, of course, were

as much interested in the Work as the

men. A few seemed reluctant to stop

for dinner, pecially the tractor op-

erators, but hey were prevailed upon

to stop long enough to eat;



After dinner the hum'of the trac-

tors and the commands of the team-

sters were heard again, and all seem-





r»,





. Club.





 





ed busier than ever. Two fields were

nearly plowed at noon. When they

were finished, the last one, a ten-acre

field of .heavy low land sod, was at-

tacked by three tractors and seven

teams, and it was an inspiring site to

watch those heavy furrows turn over.



At five o’clock the battle was over

and won; the last furrow turned; and

the last load of manure spread.





The outfit engaged in the work con‘

sisted of thirty-font men, sixteen

teams, three tractors, four manure

Spreaders, three grain drills, and

enough plows and harrows to do their

part of the work. fl . _ .



The work done consisted of twenty‘

five acres plowed, twenty-one harrow-

ed, seventeen acres of Oats sowed,

and about 100 loads, of manure spread.



When finished, the Workers again

gathered at the house where a lunch

was served and all went home happy,

and satisfied that they had a chance

to help this needy brother, and I per-

sonally thank all who were present

and took part, and those who could

not come, but especially the ladies for

their part. _



We wish there could be more of this

spirit in these days of hurry, and we

believe the occasion was one which

will be long remembered, it Will .by

the writer, at least. The only thing

we have to regret is that we had no

pictures taken of the scene—John

ACOB had driven a *‘Shrewd bargain

with his brother. He had put one

over. The old man’s property

would be his, and the name of the



family, and the honor, such as came



only to the eldest son. But he sud.

denly found that he had paid a very

high price for his bargain. He had

created hate in the heart of his broth-

er. His meanly-won triumph was





burning his hands and scorching his ,





heart He had to get out of the





country.



Is it not true that our conquests

often cost too much? A fortune is

made by a business man called suc-





cessful. The home is a small palace,





with everything that taste can devise,

or art create, 0r money buy. But in

this splendid abode, you will look in

vain of an evening for the son of the

family. He is out with his friends, in

questionable places, returning home

He has paid a ter-

rific price for his



‘success. ' '



' But .Ja00b was.

to have another

chance, and it

was to come



through a dream. He had walked a



long way that day, or. if he had rid-



den, he was as tired, in the heat and

dust. He was so weary that he lay





 





down and rested his head on a stone.





You have used hard pillows at times,

but not like that. As he slept, he

dreamed. A ladder between earth and

heaven. Angels going up and down.

He awaked and felt that he had been

in the very presence of God. The

dark, deep valley, the stern rocks on

either hand, spoke of one who out-

lasts all.

andthe One who speaks to man’s soul.



No wonder the dust-stained traveler

was awed. “This is the very gate of

heaven!" he cries. “God is in this

place, and I didn’t know it!” God is

here, and we do not know it. Was

that the root of Jacob’s trouble? Had

he known that God was there, would

he have treated his brother as he

had? He had not realized that God

saw; or cared.





Is it possible to bring the presence

of God into the consciences of men,

so that they will recognize Him, as a

Not long ago

a business man wrote to a number of

men prominent .in American business

and asked them if they believed in





. God and if they prayed. The replies





were very encouraging to those who

believe in the God of the Bible. Nearly

all said they pray,ed and all said they

recognized God as a factor in their

lives. One secret of it was that nearly

all of these men said that they had





‘ been blest with religious parents. _





Jacob was not so happy in this re-

spect. His father was an easy-going

man—too easy. His mother did not

hesitate to school her son in the fine

art of deception, which included down-

right lying, when necessary. 11’ we

dislike the character of Jacob, let us

remember his early home life.



But in his soul he had the possibili-

ties of greatness. The dream awak-

ened them. He was not perfect after





' that-but he was never the same again.





He had! come face to’ face with God.

He took God into partnership with





.‘himself, and agreed to pay 'God one-





tenth‘ of all he made thereafter. That

was his way of showing that he meant

business. Suppose every church mem-

‘ber did that. How much money would

the church have, for all expenses!

How 111 ch she would give to the work

11 0th lands! How quickly and eas-

i y she would. pay all her bills! 1 What





I ‘ beautiful houses of worship she would





build! What spiritual power, for the

cure of social ills and injustices she

Would generate! Tithing is not every-

thing, hut it is a power, none the less.

It was the very best way that Jacob





'could think of, for showing his love





to God.





~_To have a vital religion, it must

Show itself in action, in_ some way.





Shut .up, it Wilts and dies. Denied ex- .





pression, it disappears. Jacob was





consistent in this, that he put his re-‘

tion that comes up each year in.

the club composed of country

women is that of disbanding in sum-

mer, 01 rather of discontinuing the

meetings during June, July and Ang-

ust. A nine-months’ program is all

that is planned for in many-localities,

while others think that during the

hard summer months the women on

Ithe farm need recreation and inspira-

tion more than they do in winter.

One flourishing club "holds open the

entire year, but the programs in sum-'

mer are much lighter than in winter.





P ERHAPS the most vexing ques-





deal of profit from light things, and a

spice of practical in the way of reci-

pes and ways of managing summer

work. Ithas worked well and the

members are sure it has paid.



Perhaps one reason for the success

is that the summer meetings are al-

ways held out of doors. A grove, or

a lawn,.or even a fine clean back yard

provides theplace and there is 'no

extra cleaning and getting ready such

as are necessary in winter. The re-

freshments are light, usually "being

lemonade and drop cakes or cookies,

and altogether it is a pleasant gather-

ing. The children have a. chance to

attenl and can play, while the moth-

ers axe meeting.



A sample program of our club might

be of interest to other club women.





First; a poem, “Out to Old Aunt

Mary’s,” by a member, a. song by an-

other, “Annic Laurie,” the roll call an-





swered by pickletrecipes briefly given,

a song by the mm bore, usually Ameri-

ca, and the reading of a story, not too

long, from some farm paper. That

leaves ample time for visiting and

serving refreshments within the two-

hour period, and everybody is home

for the evening meal in good time. _



L Chautauqua week is; chosen for the





family is welcome. , In a quiet, spot on

the grounds, the picnic baskets are

opened and 3.,de supper is'served.

In the twilight around 'the table, the

little program is given, and all go to

the big tent refreshed and' inspired.

The busy women on the farms, where

help is impossible to get, do need in-

spiration and recreation in- summer,

and. the club that holds open twelve

months instead of nine is carrying out

the mission of the organization, the

making of country life more profitable

and enjoyable.

MAKE THE HOUSE SUMMERY.





HAT gives us more pep, ambi-



tion, and makes us feel better in

the spring than to discard our win-

ter “heavies!” When warm weather

comes it is- also time to discard the

furnishings from our rooms that made

them look so warm and cozy in the

winter, and dress them up so they will

look cool and comfortable for warm

weather.-



The first thing to do is to put away -

all useless articles. A crowded-room

cannot look summery. Open spaces

and welcome ventilating

Pack away velour and other

heavy draperies. Bring into promi-

nence cool-looking things, fibre fumi-

ture, grass rugs, palm leaf fans, and

the lemonade pitcher.





If you have over-stuffed furniture,

make slip covers of gay cretonne. Col-

or has much to do with the cool ap-

pearance of a room. Greens, blues,

and their combinations are cool col-

ors. Reds and yellows—the colors of

fire and sunshine—4am said to be warm

colors. The softer and more neutral

shades of these colors are cooler than

the decided ones. ,. -

INSECTS AND MILDEW ON ROSES.





HERE are several insects that in:





jure rose foliage. The one that

had been doing the most damage of

recent 'years is a. small worm that

makes a Web and skeletonizes leaves.

It. can be killed by using the same

poison spray that you use on potatoes

for bugs. While you are about it, you

might add Bordeaux mixture to the

spray for that will prevent mildew as

well, and this is a far more dangerous

enemy. Mildew does not attack all

roses but some varieties are very eas-

ily killed by it. Helen Gould among

the ever-bloomers, and Crimson Ramb-

ler among the hardy roses," are two

instances, and a' spraying ,to keep in

check is advised for both of these.





When mildew appears there is hardly





a chance to escape considerable dam-

age for it acts so fast. Dusting with

powdered sulphur is the best remedy

and' Will check it at once, but as the

dust will not stick it is good only

when applied directly to the mildewed

places—A. H.

August. _We started Friday morning

early. For myself, I did not like the

idea of starting on Friday, but we had



‘ good luck, just the' same. Starting

from Lake Odessagwe drove over two

hundred fifty miles the first day- W‘e

stayed at a hotel in Atlanta- The next

day a family reunion-has held at that

place. We extended our yisit in At-

lanta until Monday morning.



Again setting. out, we journeyed

across country to Onaway, taking the

plains road—a road made when the

pine forests were.still standing. We

passed through the state forest reser-

vations, a very pretty sight of hun-

dreds of acres of young pine. We

reached Mackinaw City about four

o'clock in the afternoon. Crossed the

Straits and again set out to drive as

far as possible before nightfall. It was





' pleasant driving in the breeze and the





smell of the pine. Vi'e retired for the

night in a free tourist camp about

forty miles from St. Ignace.

ful sights while "passing through the

On a little knoll under a shady oak,

they spread their lunch. ll’hat fun it

was! No sooner were they enjoying

the goodies they had found in their

lunch basket than they heard a “chit-

ter. chatter, chitter, chatter.” '

"What is that?" asked Tilly, just a.

wee bit frightened. '

“Search me,” answered Billy, “may—



be it’s a bear.” '



“Oh, my," said Tilly, a wee bit more

“Maybe it’s a wolf sharpening his

“The better to eat you with,” Tilly

told Dilly, for she just wasn’t going to

be afraid. /, '



“Chitter, chatter, chitter, chatter,"

sounded again, but this time a little

brown head' peeked out from behind

the tree and a, long, flufiy tail bigger

than its ow‘ner, swished to the right

(and. to the left.



“It’s a little squirrel,” said Tilly.

“Maybe he will have lunch with us.”



At this the little squirrel cocked his

head very undecidedly. But after a

little coaxing, he, who was none other

than Frisker, was nibbling at the sand-

@0111: LETTER BOX .5





Dear Uncle Frank:



I will write just a few lines to thank

you for the nice pencil which I re-

ceived yesterday. I am using it to

write this letter. I had answered quite

a. few contests before I answered the

drawing contest, but those were easy

ones and I didn’t: work very hard Fat

them and I never was lucky enough to

get a prize, either.~._F So when I‘ saw

the drawing contest, I went to “wor ”

and I won a prize, so I have proved

to myself that our motto, "‘Work'to

Win,” is right.



I will close, thanking you again for

the pencil. Good— bye Uncle Frank and

cousins.—-An M. C., Virdie M. Baer,

Remus, Mich.





It really does pay to keep on trying,

(Icesn’t it? I am glad you like the

pencil. I believe, too, that you must

have gotten some good from the con-

tests you didn’t' win prizes in.





 





 





 





 





bushes are loaded this year, which is

quite rare. We grow them tame here.



I wOnder how many saw the picture

called “The Vanishing American,”

Zane Grey’s novel. I was verymuch

interested in it. On’ever’y side or us

there’s something to remind us of the

red man. About two miles from here,

on beautiful lake Nelly, they had one

of their burying grounds. It has been

dug 01 or by treasure hunters, yet it

still remains in all its beauty and! you

can shut your eyes and easily 'see an

Indian village come to life.

must "close. They were wonderful as

well as beautiful.—Betty from Florida.

Some time ago, I wrote a composi-

Come to the conclusion that the con-

solidated school is the best, because

it has ever so many more advantages.





Dear Uncle Frank: \



I notice that s'everai girls and boys

have said a few words about evolu-

tion of man. All I have to say is,

read the first two chapters of Gene-

sis. Ii you believe in ybur Bible you

can cast away all thoughts of evolu-

tion, for “In the beginning God creat-

ed the earth, alSo man as an image

of Himself.” He may have created

monkeys also, but that doesn’t mean

that man and monkey are by any

means descendants from the same

source. Please don’t think I’m giving

you a “bawling out, " but all I can say

is, stick to your Bible, nut to Darwin.

WHO CAN BEAT'THIS SINGLE

TEAM LOADI. '





‘ HERE appear-6d recently in" the

' Grand, Rapids Press, an article





of potatoes drawn by a. single team.

We believe that Alba can beat that

record. ‘ - ’



§ In the fallnof ‘1911, FrankLock‘rey‘





miles from town, a. load of potatoes

consisting 0f"290’;é bushels and weigh-

ing 17,430 pounds. The price of pota‘

the ring of the halter, and fastened ‘

securely to the“ manger. ' ‘ '

"this practical man, totake a little

switch and cause the horse to throw

himself against the, rope. While he

likely will groan, the rig will not hurt

him. .Somehorses will try the second

time to break away. but that. is usu-

ally the last. After the hbrse has dis-

covered that there is no pleasure in

pulling at the halter, the end of the

per bushel, so he received a check

for only $188.82, but the weight of

the load was nearly nine tons. At the

present price of potatoes, it would have

Imeant a small fortune to him.



The potatdes were sold to a. private

buyer here and resold to outside com-

panies. 'Since Alba. has become the

center of the certified seed potato in-

dustry in Michigan, 3. marketing asso-

ciation has been formed which owns

a building with facilities for handling

and storing about 40,000 bushels, and

is equipped with an up-to-date heating

and ventilating system. The industry

has grown so rapidly that about two

years ago, it became necessary to build

an addition to the original building.



The type of seed grown is the Rural

Russet, climate, soil and markets be—

‘ing favorable for that Variety. The

present crop was contracted for at

$2.98 per bushel. Mr. C. Wing, for-

merly county agent for Charlevoix, is

the manager at the present time.—

OLD HORSEMAN GIVES ADVICE.



I '1‘ was the writer’s pleasure recently



to get some wholesome advice on

handling horses, from an old horse-

man, William Stewart, of Sanilac coun-

ty. Many farmers, he said, had de-

vices for breaking horses from halter-

pulling; but the simplest and surest

method of securing such animals, has

neVer, to his knowledge, been put in

print.



Here is how he puts an end to this

annoying habit of some members of

the equine tribe. A-three-quarter-inch

rope'about fifteen feet long is requir—

ed. A non-slip loop is tied in one end.

This loop is held in the hand, while

the other end is thrown‘bver the

horse’s back, as you would a surcingle.

The loose end is brought under the

belly and passed through the loop.

rope can then be brought up from the

manger and tied to the halter in the

usual manner.



Mr. Stewart used this same sort. of

tie on young colts when weaning

them. As a. result, they never acquire

the habit of pulling at the halter.



His advice on weaning colts willsbe

appreciated by readers. When a colt

has reached the proper age for wean~

ing, he. ties the mare and the foal in

adjacent stalls. The first day he'loos-



_ ens the colt and permits him to suckle

the mother three times—morning,

noon, and night. '



The second day he is permitted to

suckle twice—morning and night; and

the third day but once, at noon. Be-

ing near each other, neither worries,



flas is the case when they are separat-

ed. Also. the udder ofth'e“ more will

not tend to cake when one follows this

program. ‘ '





Mr. SteWart also gave his method of

getting the coil. accustomed to hu-

mans. When a few, days old, and ac.

tive upon its feet, he would grab the

colt firmly about the .neck with his

arms and hang on until the colt be-

came submissive. Sometimes the colt

would be thrown, and. occasionally

both would go down. But he always

made it a. point to master the colt

before letting go. A few experiences

of this kind make it easy to catch the

coil; any where, and goesa long way in

the training, which too Often isleft

until diliicult properly to perform.

said this old horseman. A little atten-

tio’n when the colt .is ydung orten

means, much in, the‘animal’s' disposi-

tion and usefulness later.——W.

TESTER HANSEN ENGAGED FOR

THIRD YEAR.





 





ENS HANSEN, of Ionia, Michigan,



has completed two years’ testing

with the Ionia—Belding Cow Testing

Association. The herds of the mem-

bers tunder test-show much progress,

according to the tester. Soils have

been tested on all members’ farms

and every member has a seeding of-

alfalfa. During 1925, twenty-four of

the twenty-six members fed small

amounts of grain with pasture.



Hansen is also an advocate of the

use of pure—bred sires. Each of his

association members use a pure-bred





, sire, and the ftfllowing breeds are rep-





resented in the sires owned by the

members: Eight pure-bred Holstein;

seven pure-bred Jersey; two pure-bred.

Guernsey; two pure-bred Brown Swiss,

and two pure-bred Shorthorn.



In addition to having well-bred

herds, Hansen has vemphasized the

need for careful feeding and manage—

ment of these herds. Rations were

balanced throughout the season so

that seventeen herds averaged above

300 pounds of butter-fat production for

the association year. These herds are

owned‘ as follows: N. A. Andres, 5

greatly. Instances 'are known where

death has resulted from this cause.



The permanent pasture and meadow

fields on Forest Grove Farms have an

abundance of natural shade. My fore-

fathers loved live stock,:so in clearing

up the farm, trees,were left here and

there to afford shade for the flocks

and herds. Today, I prize these shade

trees very highly.



It is cruel to confine sheep to a

pasture lot Without protection against

the hot 'sun. If there is no natural

Paralysis. —I have eleven fall pigs

which I am fattening. Some of them

are going down in their hind quarteis

They are so lame they cannot walk at

all. The1 a1e lunning out and I am

feeding com and slack coal. Could

you tell me what causes this lame—

ness? F. T. B.—This is due to feeding

an unbalanced ration. Pigs ‘do not do

well on com alone, they should receive

some tankage and oil meal. MineIals,

such a: a mixture of equal pa1ts of

ground limestone, steamed bone meal

and common salt should be kept whe1e

they can help themseh es. Alfalfa or

clover hay would also be of much ben-

efit.





Bitter Milk—I have a ten- year—01d





embe1. F01 the last six weeks her

milk has become bitte1 alter standing

a short time. Have been feeding two

quarts 01' corn and oats, giound, at





 





 





milking time since time mentioned.

She has also 1un out some. \Ve have





had two chumings of cream that will

not come to butter. Cow will be fresh

again in October. Would the cats





cause the milk to become bitter, or a

weed she gets? This cow’s milk and

01921111 also seem chalky. Her feed has

been 00111 f0dde1 and hay with potato

pa1i11gs, oats and c01n,g10und. A few

weeks ago when corn fodde1 was gone

she had hay alone with 111953 at milk-

ing. Do you think the lack of g1een

feed causes any of the t1oublr? Last

year she was all right on g1een feed

of potatoes. G. O H.h--T is is he-

quently caused by eating moldy or de-

composed fodde1, or dust from moldy

feed 01 bedding getting into the milk

while being drawn t1 cm the cow. Milk

allowed to stand in pans containing

Raw po-

tatoes 01' parings, 01' ce1tain weeds, if

fed sheltly before milking, also cause

milk to become bitter. A lack of

green feed has no bad effect on milk.

Try boiling all your utensils, afterwa1d

drying them on the stove, and keep

them in a clean, dry place until ready

for use.



Paralysis—l have a Holstein cow

that Can’t have the use of her hind

parts. She eats well and seems to be

all right otherwise. Vie have been

feeding her silage, hay, and oats She

was pasture bred, so don’t know just

when she will freshen, but think about

June. G. R.—This condition frequent-

ly occuis towa1ds the end of pieg-

',nancy and ends with the birth of the

calf. There is not much that can be

done for these cases. The bowels

should be watched, to see that they

are in good condition, and if neces-

sary an occasional dose of epsom salts

should be given. It might be advis-

able to have your cow examined by a

veterinarian if she continues in this

condition, in order to determine the

condition of the uterus and calf. '





Lame Mare.——I- have a thirteen-year-

old mare that is stiff and sore in all

her legs. Her front legs are bent up

She 11 eighs about 1, 400 pounds and is

in fair flesh She eats 11 e11. She has

neve1 been overheated. She has been

standing in the barn most of the time

this winter and has never worked

hard. About twice a week she has

been driven to town with the cream—

about nine miles. What can we do

for her‘.’ I. C.—-—You do not say how

long she has been in this condition.

Frequently horses standing in the

barn all winter become stiff and sore

in front, due to their feet becoming

dry and contracted. In cases of this

kind, it is necessary to have their feet

trimmed and their boots softened,

either by standing in water or wet

clay, or packing their boots with pine

WHEAT





The wheat market has fluctuated

over a rather narrow range during the

past two weeks, with the undertone

highly unsettled because of the chang-





' ing prospects for the new crop. At





the moment, a rally is in progress be-





. cause of unfavorable crop~news from





Europe and some revival in export

'business, coupled with the speculative

situation in the May delivery at Chi-

cago. The visible supply decreased

nearly 5,000,000 bushels in the week

ending May 15 because of large ship-

ments of durum wheat Via the lakes

The May deliverytat CIT):

,0 shows signs of conges .1011

ggigise of the smallness of deliverable





stocks.

RYE





R e rices declined to a new low

level fog the entire season as a. result

of slow demand for the rather liberal

stocks still at terminals. _Clearances

for export in the week ending May 15

were the largest in nearlya year and

the low prices now prevailing have re-

sulted in further sales abroad in the

last for» days. Rye exports frequently

run rather large at this time of the

year, so that stocks may still be great-





‘ ly reduced before the new crop begins

7 to move.





CORN V ‘





rn rices have declined to a new

nocwolevlel for the season and to the

lowest point since 1923 as a result of

sluggish demand. Feeders and indus-

tries show no dispos1tion to buy be-

yond current requirements, and spec-

ulative buying is handicapped by a.

high premium for futuredeliveries,

cempared with the cash market. ’Elei

vators are good buyers of the dry

grades which can be placed in store





“ and sold for future delivery. Export





sales are small and prospects of any

increase are poor. Corn prices have





‘ been declining so long, however, that

Oats prices declined along with corn

EEDS »





The seed trade is quiet, with only

scattered. orders for replanting to be

filled. .‘Prices are well maintained in

spite of the slight demand. Early re-

ports on the new crop of red clover

and timothy seed indicate a poor con-

dition. Acreage of both were reduced





this spring.

FEEDS





Tlie steady improvement in pastures.

has reduced the demand for feed, and

prices have been unsettled. Supplies

of wheat feeds are moderate, but de-

mand is chiefly for immediate ship-





ment.

EGGS





The high point in the spring egg

production seems to have been passed.

Receipts at the leading markets dur-

ing the past ten days have been small-

er than in the first week in May, and

advices from the country indicate that

the lay is generally decreasing. The

large shortage in storage stocks of

eggs, together with the decreasing

supply of fresh, has led to a more

active trade. Prices are firmly held

and the advancing trend on strictly

fresh eggs may be resumed before

long. The supply of medium grades

will increase during _hot weather, so

that the margin between chOice and

undergiades will tend to widen.

BEANS





The bean market has eased off dur-

ing the past week and C. H. P. whites

are quoted ’at $4.45 .per hundred

pounds, f. o. b. Michigan shipping

points. Demand is practicallyat_a

standstill and dealers are not optimis-

tic as to its improving. Planting of

the new crop usually begins early in





June. It is generally believed that the

acreage will be reduced this year; al-

though the backWard season may re-

sult in planting .beans Where corn

would have been planted in a normal





' BUTTER





The butter market remains firmly

pegged in spite of increasing supplies

and .some addition to the already ex-

cess1ve surplus in storage holdings of

butter as compared with a year ago,-





and with normal stocks at thistime of '~ - ‘

the year.w Retail prices have been "





kept closer to wholesale costs than is





often the case, and consumptive de-





mand has been excellent. Further—

more, the supply 'of fine butter has

been less plentiful, as is usual in the

transition from hay ‘to grass butter.

It may be that demand for butter to

store will be

prices at the present level during the

period of flush production, but in View

of the heavy stocks already in stor-

age, it is not unl’ ;ely that prices will

have to seek a s'.ghtly lower level be-

fore dealers will be willing to start

buying in earnest. '



Prices on 92-score creamery were:

Chicago 4014c; NewYork 411/20. In

Detroit fresh creamery in tubs sells

for 39@4lc.





POTATOES





The potato market has been de-





pressed by receipts, which are in ex-





cess of the moderate demand. Ship-

ments of old potatoes are little more

than half as large as in the corres-

ponding period last season, but the

quality is highly irregular and con-

sumers are turning to the new stock.

Southern potatoes are more plentiful,

but prices _hold relatively steady. The

usual early summer decline is likely

to set in by the end of the month when

new potatoeswill make up the bulk of

arrivals. Wisconsin round whites, U.

S. No. 1, are quoted at $2.75@3 per

100 pounds, sacked, in the Chicago

carlot market. Florida Spaulding

Rose, U. S. No. 1, are steady at $10.50

@1065 per double head barrel.





.WOOL





A better tone is apparent in sea-

board wool markets. although prices

have not improved and volume of wool

changing hands is still small. Mills

are a little more willing to talk busi-

ICOUNTY CROP REPORTS.-





Neiy'aYgo Co.. May 17 .—-The weather

is new no for putting in crops, al-

though the season‘ is about two weeks

late. Many new tractors are being

,uSed, to. rush work. More oats than

usual are. going in. _ Good prospects for

all fruit, except peaches and sweet

cherries, which were damaged by a

late frost. , Cattle are. unusually thin.

Pastures are slow in getting started.

Plenty of help available here. Mere

corn will be planted, also potatoes and

oats.‘ The white bean acreage will be

cut fifty per cent. Butter-fat sells at

40c; eggs 22c; potatoes $1.60;

corn $2 .per-crate.—-S. A: _



St» Clair 60., May 18.—Weather is

fine i r pushing work. A large acre-

age 0 cats was put in. Corn ground

is fitted but no planting yet done. A

considerable amount of fall wheat

ground has been abandoned and plant-

ed to (£3.15. Some will also be put to

corn. eed is short, but most farmers

will‘get by in good shape. Milk is the

product being marketed at present.—





weXford“Co., May 20.——Farmers are

not all done sowing oats. Very little

corn planted. Some few patches of

potatoes has gone in. ,There will be

‘a normal acreage of crops. Pasture is

'late ‘and there is a poor prospect for

hay; The usual amount of potatoes

. The pig and lamb

crops are about normal. All live stock

in very good condition. Veal brings

12@13c; butter-fat 40c; eggs 25c.—



JacksonCoq May 20.—Work is much

delayed on account of weather condi-

tions. It. is dry for plowing. We are

putting in about the average acres of

crops. Help is scarce and wages high.

There will be plenty of seed corn in

Lamb and pig crops were very good.

with rices ,hig'hr Pastures how good.

Hay~ 5 worth $12@15 and is getting

s'carce. Help has largely gone to the

city. so‘ more tractors are being used.

Soil is in good condition but weather

is changeable—J. B. ,



Otsego Co.. ,May 17.—The spring has

been very backward and growth is far

behind normal... Live stock is just out

to pasture. The feed shortage was.

acute in some cases, and live stock is

not in the best condition as the result.

Some potatoes are left on hand, with

,prices downy—S. J. L.



Calhoun Co.. May 17.-—Oat seeding

has been practically completed and

plowing for corn is the order. of the

day. Lack of rains makes plowing

back-

ward. and the outlook for hay is not

the best. The usual amount of spray-

ing is being done, although in some

cases it is not applied at just the right

time. Live stock is in good condition,

.although feed is scarce. Pasture is

short. Farmers have marketed their

surplus grain. There is no help avail-

able for farmers—J. E. H.



Livingston 00., May 17.—-—F’armers

are behind with their spring work.

The acreage of many crops will be re-

duced on account of the lateness of

the season. Many farmers are spray-

ing their fruit trees. Stock is in good

condition. although hay is scarce. Help

is also scarce at forty cents per hour.

about three weeks late. Oats are get-

ting a nice start. Clover seeding is

completed. But very few fields of corn

have been planted. The acreage will

be somewhat below normal. Vi'eather

is very cool and somewhat dry. More

interest is taken in spraying this year.

Live stock came through the winter

in good condition. Last winter’s feed

supply has been used up very closely.

Potatoes are slow to start on account

of cold, dry weather. Not much pro-

duce going to market at this time of

the year. Sheep shearing is the order

of the day. Wool brings 350 a pound.

Lamb crop was very good this spring.

We have quite a little farm help in

this section—H. C. S.





. VETERINARY.‘





 





Leucorrhea.—-I have a mare fifteen

or seventeen years old that has what

is commonly known as the whites. I

have been told that she had it five or

six years ago. The owner at that time

had them cured by some veterinary

surgeon. She has her usual amount

of vitality and is up in flesh—fat.

What can I do to stop this? C. N. H.

——-The treatment for this consists in

washing out the uterus, first with

,warm water, until it comes away clean.

This is followed with a solution of

sugar of lead—three drams to one

quart of warm water. Or two tea-

spoonfuls of carbolic acid to One quart

of water. It is necessary to pass a

small rubber tube into the uterus and

insert a. funnel in the free end. The

funnel is elevated and the liquid al-

lowed to pass into the uterus. One

hand should be kept in the vagina in

order to keep the tube in place.





 





Despite the depression in agricul—

ture, the percentage of farm tenants

in the United States increased only a

fraction from 1920 to 1926. The re-

spective figures are 38.1 and 38.6.
