Ask any city man to choose between a bushel of good seed





and a bushel in which poor seed mates. He is just as

like] ‘ to choose one as the other—because he doesn't know

the ifference. .





But. the farmer does. He is an expert in the business of

agriculture. It’s his spec1alty, and he knows more about it

than anyone else.





The farmers know, too, that experience is a rent teacher.

If the Cl man were to try farm- , he’d soon earn the dif-

ference tween good seed an bad seed. Results are

the final test.





The same principle holds true in regard to oil. The ordinary

man can see very little difference between one oil and another.

But a lubricating expert who spends his life working withoiis

and making actual tests in the field with all makes of auto-

mobiles, trucks and tractors, knows the difference between

good oil and inferior 011.





The staff of lubricating experts of the Standard Oil Company

(Indiana) is made u of such men and Polanne is the prod-

uct_of their years 0 experience. They have prepared a chart

which Will give you expert information‘ about the correct

lubrication of your particular machine. . One of the seven

grades of Polarine is made expressly for It.





You cannot tell the difference between good oil and poor oil

by looking at them. Accept the recommendation of experts.





Use Polarine and discover the greater efl‘iciencyof your trac?

tor. A good tractor lubricated with Polarine Will work with

all the dependable power it was designed to develop.





It Rays to use good oil as surely as it pays to use good seed.

W en you use Polarme and see the repair. bills dwmdle you

Will be convinced that the right 011 pays on cash— and that

Polarme is the right oil.





Consult chart at-any Standard Oil Service

Station for correct grade for your tractor.

Why should I go away from





to study agriculture when I





of youthful graduates. Now





practical, common sense way by R.





' S. Shaw, Dean of Agriculture at Mich-





igan State College. In his statement





‘ to farm boys, Dean Shaw outlines the

' many opportunities





that await the

farm boy who is willing to sacrifice





j just four more years in study.





“A recent classification of the occu-

pation of graduates of the agricultural





' division of the Michigan State College





divides them into three main groups,

as follows: (1) farmers, 32.6 per cent;

agricultural pursuits, 47.4

per cent; and (3) non-agricultural posi-

tions, twenty per cent. Eighty per

cent, therefore, are either directly or





‘ indirectlv engaged in agricultural pur-





suits





“The opportunities for agricultural





graduates are today even greater than

ever before, and the need for more





" and more of them on Michigan farms

" is ever increasing. In addition to prac-





tical experience, the successful farm-

er must be trained in the applied





sciences directly relating to his occu—

' pation,

- methods which have to do with farm





and also in those business

management, including accounting,

production costs, marketing, co-oper-

ative organizations, etc.



“In order to more completely ex—





: tend and apply the results of the ag-

.‘ ricultural and scientific research find~

. ings of the college, it is highly desir-

able to have more and more of its ~

. graduates distributed among the 192,-,





000 farmers "of the state, forming piv-





. otal points from which the influences





of improved practices may be radiat-





ed. Economically the future of Mich-

igan's agriculture‘is becoming bright—

er and brighter, as the industrial ex-

pansion creates an everincreasing de-

mand for food in markets close at

hand.



“The educational field has been tak-

ing the largest number of our agricul-

tural graduates. The Land Grant col-

leges alone, of which there is one in

each state, have a total annual income

of over $75,000,000, with an enroll-

ment of over 120,000, of which about

20,000 are in agriculture. These col-

more than sixty, have been organized

in the rural districts of the state, re—

sulting in an additional demand for

agricultural graduates as superintend-

ents and teacheis of aincultuIe and

science.



“Each of the land grant, or agricul-

tural colleges, has associated with it

an experiment station organized for

the purpose of investigating and solv-

ing problems, both directly and indi-

rectly affecting the farmer. In 1924,

the total income of these experiment

stations was more than $10,000,000,

leges have drawn from the lists of

agricultural graduates many for posi-

tions as presidents, deans, department

heads, instructors, and administrative

officials. In addition to the land grant

institutions, colleges of the secondary

type occupy a larger field and create

a constant demand.



“Since the passage of theMSmith-

Hughes Act in 1917, providing for the

teaching of agriculture and domestic

science in high schools, there has been

a rapidly growing demand for agricul-

tural college graduates to teach these

subjects at» hig/hly remunerative sal-

aries. At present Michigan, with

several hundred high schools, has 151

on- the federal Smith-Hughes list, with

forty more awaiting organization. Con—

solidated schools to the number of





with over 1,400 technical research

workers involving 5,538 subjects. These

research organizations facilitate agri-

cultural and scientific research and ex-

tension, furnishing the best opportu-

nities for graduate study in the prep-

aration of workers for research insti-

tutions and commercial and industrial

organizations.



“Since the establishment of agricul—

tural extension under the Smith-

Hughes act of 1917, the organization

has developed such proportions that

nearly two hundred people are either

directly or indirectly engaged in the

work in Michigan alone, all phases of

which involve the expenditure of near-

ly a half-million dollars per year. This

work calls for trained directors, ad-

ministrators, specialists, county





agents, editors, organizers, and other

types of leaders. With over 15,000

,boys and girls enrolled in club work,

there is a keen demand for leaders in

this effective line of educational work.



“The field of agricultural journalism

is demanding agricultural graduates,

particularly those brought up on

farms, with post graduate work follow-

ing the first degree. The same is true

of agricultural advertising.



“In regulatory work, opportunities

are to be found as fruit and produce

inspectors, governmental and commer-

cial .and orchard and nursery in-

spectors.



“Manufacturers of dairy products,

including ice cream, beet sugar, can-

ned goods, and the like are constantly

demanding trained men with the ag—

ricultural viewpoint. Transportation

systems and commercial concerns are

seeking agricultural specialists and

salesmen.



“More than ever before marketing

organizations are looking for agricul

turally trained men in connection with

farm bureaus, cooperative efevators,

live stock shipping associations, pro

duce exchanges, city markets. mills,

and elevators. and manufacturers of

commercial fertilizers, feeds, insecti»

cides, fungicides, farm machinery.

products related to agriculture.



“The graduates of Michigan State

College not on farms are engaged in

no less than fifty different enterprises

having either a direct or indirect bear-

ing on agriculture.



“While both forestry and horticul-

ture are more or less included in the

foregoing statement, their importance

in all their specialties in Michigan de- '

mands that attention be especially di-

rected toward them. As Michigan is

particularly notable for these live‘ag- '

ricultural lines, strong and Varied

courses are offered, and the opportu-

nities after graduation are varied and

numerous. The basic training of the

agricultural course contributes much

toward a substantial general educa—

VOLUME CLXVI NUMBER TWENTY-FOUR





DETROIT, JUNE 12, 1926;

CURRENT COMMENT





 





wo well - known

Why English engineers



. came to America .

”America some time ago to

Prosper: study industrial con-





ditions on this conti-

nent, with the object in mind of learn:

ing where their own country might

improve business conditions. Their

report has just been made public. The

conclusions reached are of general in-

terest, and perhaps may have helpful

suggestions for agriculture.



These men swept aside the familiar

idea that America is prosperous be-

cause she has an abundance of natural

resources, a great home market, and

plenty of gold. They rather conclud-

ed that the secret was the accidental

result of adopting devices for saving

time, because of the scarcity of labor.

This method, these scrutinizing Eng-

lishmen say, has made both employer

and employed prosperous.





Here are some of the specific re-

sults cited by these men: The adop-

tion of time and labor-saving machin-

ery tends to reduce prices to the con-

sumerand still enables the quality of

the goods to be improved; the produc-

tive capacity of the individual is in—

creased in the exact proportion to the

extent to which time- and trouble-

saving appliances are used; because

of a more rapid turnover, less capital

is required; high wages do not neces-

sarily mean high prices; every possi-

ble attention to the welfare of the em-

ployed is ~given; free exchange of





ideas between competing interests has ‘





proven most valuable; promotion is



based upon merit; research work is of



flrst‘importance; elimination of waste



, is an important item in America's

progress.



.As we go carefully over this report,





i .the thought persistently forces itself





" upon our minds .that American agri-

. culture might learn Wholesome lessons





vahat the same relative audition that





in industry is. At any rate it

is not an idle guess to say that farm-

ing here could attain greater success

by following the same course that has

won success to industry.





. ECENT changes

some in modes of trans-



. portation have affect-

Agricultur- ed all phases of life.

al Changes Even in farming it





has brought changes

which few of us realize.



Better railroad service from the

South, for instance, is creating oppor-

tunities for the southern grower of

vegetables and fruits, as it makes

available to them the great northern

markets, while it brings them in di-

1rect competition with the green-house

products and northern-grown winter

fruits. Oranges, for instance, have





considerable influence on the demand





for apples.



Southern peaches come early in the

season and in such abundance that

the public appetite for peaches has

been satisfied to some extent by the

time our northern product gets on the

market. The competition with south-

ern varieties also has made it neces-

sary to. eliminate certain ones from

our peach variety list.



Strawberries, too, from the south

have lengthened the consumer’s straw-

berry season by several months. Many

now figure to do their strawberry can-

ning with southern berries because the

northern fruit comes at the opening





of vacation time, and southern fruit.





often sells for no more than our own.



And with potatoes, we must have a

care that we do not keep them so long

'in spring that they come in competi-

tion with the new southern crop.

Many a potato grower has learned this

through costly experience.





The canning industry has also

brought about changes which we

should recognize. It has afforded mar-

kets for a great share of Michigan

fruit—the greatei part of 'the Michi-

gan cherry crop is put into cans or

frozen for pie purposes.



The seasonal factor is no longer

considered by the consumer, for he

can get good quality in his favorite

fruits and vegetables at any time of

the year. He does not have to wait

for the strawberry season for his

Shortcake, or the months of August

and September for his peaches and

cream.



These are some of the changes

which have forced their recognition

upon some farmers. They should be

recognized by all farmers and should

make them alert to any new factor

which might make necessary some

change or adjustment in their particu-

lar line of farming.





OLLOWING t h e





. Feeders’ custom of the past

Da at several years, we at-

y tended “Feeders’



M. S. C. Day” at the Michigan





. State College last Fri-

day. While it is unfortunate that

these feeding experiments close at a

time of year when farmers are busy,

the fact remains that thousands of

farmers over the state who give spe-

cial attention to the feeding of live

stock, could well afford to leave off

a day of important work to absorb

.some of the good things turned loose

by the experimenters on this annual

occasion.



We saw a. carload of hogs ready for

market. Five lots of these had gained

their avoirdupois on rations com-

pounded with different proportions of

cull beans and corn. Some other lots

received ground rye, supplemented

with milk and tankage. After a care-

ful analysis of the carcasses of these

animals, some real interesting mate-

rial on the use of coil beans for feed-

ing bags will be available. '~



Then we studied the work horses





my

farm. Work horses. ~

feed. The college men find that ani-





mals wintered through on roughages

are turning ’work off with unusual pep

and satisfaction, and seemingly are

making a better response to the

grain rations now given,'than do the

animals that had grain during the win—

ter months. .



Again, the visitors looked over a

carload of baby beef calves 'which of-

fered evidence on the value of the

self~feeder for this class of animals;

also, on whether it is best to feed less

grain and allow more silage with al-

falfa and oilmeal.



Of course, readers will get the final

results of this work from these pages

when the material is all available;

but, seeing the animals goes far in im-

pressing the usefulness of the conclu-

sions reached, and usually leads the

observer to more quickly profit from

the work our experimenters are doing.





ATERIAL which





A, We has appeared in

A our editorial columns

re should leave no doubt

Born in the minds of our





readers as to the

stand the Michigan Farmer takes with

reference to eugenics, or ‘the better

ment of the race. It is our hope that

our readers fully realize that the same

principles of improvement apply in the

human race that govern in the grow-

ing of better live stock.



However, there are handicaps which

do not prevail in the handling of our

domestic animals. There are few pure-

bred humans in this country, the melt-

ing pot of the world. The love emo-

tion also often interferes with judg-

ment and diverts attention from fit-

ness for marriage and family rearing.



But regardless of these handicaps,

we can do something individually to

help the cause. If many of us were

judged as we judge stock, we would

be classed as culls. Each of us has

inherent weaknesses and acquired

ones. ,



The greatest service we can do pos-

terity is to endeavor to overcome

these weaknesses. We should try to

make the most of ourselves physically.

Many people give little thought to

physical perfection, but instead add

acquired faults to their inherited ones.



The farmer, who knows more about

the importance of good Care and good

breeding than most others, and who is

engaged in the most natural occupa-

tion in the world, should be foremost

in endeavorin-g to improve the human

family.





.. HEN the plow



Can has turned over

You about so many fur-

rows, it becomes dull,



Play? will not do the work





efficiently, and the

point must be sharpened or replaced.

After the axe has cut through a cer-

tain amount of old hickory, it, too, be-

comes dull. A visit to the grindstone

will do much to increase the efficiency

of both of these implements.



And, is it not so with we humans?

Like the axe and the plow point, con-

tinued steady work along one - line

makes us dull. But a little recreation

and play will do for us What the grind-

stone will do for the dull implements

—whet the mind to keener activity

and animate the body with renewed

vigor.



On another page of this issue, two

farm women describe the inspiration

they have received from even a short

vacation. They have come back to

their work, refreshed in mind, reins

vigorated in body, and encounaged in

spirit. They have not permitted them-

selves to forget how to play once in

awhile. * ,



When we have forgotten how to

play we, have lost one of health’s

Youtfi



Y OUTH is the best time 0’ life. It



is the time o’ anticipashuns and

dreams. It’s the time when you gam«

bul with fate huntln’ fer a mate, and

don't know it. Youth is the happiest

time 0’ life, ’cause of what you don’t

know It is when things seem like

you think they are and not as they

are



The fact that youth is so enjoyabul,

all of us is enjoyin’ it more’n we used

ta. In our grandpa’s days, they used

ta grow whiskers as quick as they

could, ’cause they used ta think if you

looked young you

didn’t know math

in’. Men and wom<

in used ta get old

q uic k in them

days, and a man

fifty years old

was ready fer the

(old folkses’ home.

But. now, if you

. look old you don’t

know much, ’cause you don’t know

how ta keep young. This bein’ the

age 0’ youth, we try ta keep young

'til we die.



In these days you can’t tell dad

from the kid. and ma and daughter

is both flappers. It’s gettin’ so you

can’t tell Ma from Pa, and brother

from sister. Anyhow, the hair cuts

and the pants they wear don’t indicate

there’s any difference.



Youth' is so necessary these days,-

if you ain’t got it you kin buy it at,

the stores. The health and vigor and

the bloom 0’ youth kin be bought for

so much a box. And I see there’s lots

buyin’ it. The only troubul is, there's

some what put so much youth on their

faces, they look worse than when they

were born. They put too much on their

faces and not enuf in their actshuns.





The spirut 0’ youth is what we

should keep, not the color 0’ it. And

a good job 0’ paintin’ and fixin’ up

don’t give you the spirut. The spirut

stays with you when you keep your

mind young and take care 0’ yourself.



This youth stuff is also showin’ in

clothes. Littul girls used ta wear

short skirts, but nowadays the old

girls is doin’ it, too. The way the

skirts is gettin’ shorter all the time,

I think some is gettin’ the spirut 0‘

youth to a dangerous degree. I just

hope they won’t try ta get younger

and younger all the time, ’cause if

they do there won’t be no skirts left.

These sure ain’t the days 0’ long skirts

and hair. But it seems like the short

er they get the longer you look. Sofie

says they’ll have to. put blinders on





 





I .





 





 





 





 





‘the men purty soon, just like on the





horses, so they don’t get too skittish.

But, anyhow, I’ m fer youth, and lots

0’ it I’m just as young as I used ta

be. If you don’t believe it, start a

I" you had been sight-seeing over

' in sunny Italy' in the gay old year

of 54, you might have witnessed,

" each m0rning, a parade of 500 fem 1e

donkeys coming slowly down the ma n

drag of Rome. Each one of those 500

mulettes had her own personal valet

and each was groomed, polished and





K ' dolled up like an eight grader at com-





*‘ mencement. I’ll bet they even were

‘ high-heeled Shoes/and“ had their ears

pinned back. ' If I was to give you ten

~ chances you couldn't come within a

' mile of guessing, the reason for this

parade, so I’ll have to tell you. '



At that time, N. Claudius Caesar

Drusus Germanicus (that sounds like

some Holstein, doesn’t it?) was emper-

or of Rome. He would undoubtedly

be more readily recognized if I were to

introduce him by his inore familiar

name of Nero and,' believe me, that

old boy was hard boiled. Besides oth-

er bad habits, he had a wife called

Roppaea who was a fast stepper and

'the fiappiest of all the Roman fiappers.

Poppaea was different from other

Roman candles and she believed in

doing things differently. _ For instance,

instead of waiting for Saturday night

to come around, she’d treat herself to

a cleaning eVery morning. Once a

week is bad enough, but anybody that

bathes every day must belong to the

fish family. However, wait till I tell

you how she did it. ,



When I pei form my ablution, I slide

the old corrugatedwash tub out in the

middle of the kitchen floor and fill her

full of w ater. The water wants to be

hot, too. In fact, it has to be hot.

But with Poppaea, bathing was just

another way of spending the people’s

money. She had her own individual

bathtub, inlaid with pure gold, and

each morning, into this tub was pour-

ed the warm milk that had just been

extracted from those 500 donkeys.

This blue-eyed baby preferred her

milk in a tub rather than a bottle.





But You (3472’ 2‘





Now, you and I know that she couldn’t

get one speck whiter by using milk in

place of rain water. But think of the





notoriety! And. that’s what she

craved. .

Well, that’s ancient history. One





thousand ., eight hundred and seventy

years after Poppaea took the dirt

cure via the milky way, I saw one

little old white cow—one, mind you-—

that could have done for Mrs. Nero

each day what it took 500 donkeys to

do. And, if you don’t believe it, fol-

low me about ten minutes and I’ll in-

troduceyou to another Johnstown

than in Westminster Abbey does,



We think of barns as buildings all

having the same general lines of arch-

all, having three lightning rods ex-

tending from various points on the

roof and with the barnyard garnished

by a manure spreader, manure pile,

pigsty and all the obsolete equipment

which has accumulated since the bat-

tle of Bull Run."



The difference between the dairy

barn at Loeb Farms and the average

cow house is, oh, about $100,000. Built

skillfully laid, and with its neat blue





pouring off this skim-milk, and within

three miles of Charlevoix, the Snow

Man’s Land of Michigan, is located

Loeb Farms, one of the finest agricul-

tural enterprises in the country. Be-

sides being the home of Golden Lead-

er Cheese, it is the all-year-’round res

idence of a. wonderful herd of pure-

bred Holsteins and, personally,»I would

not blame any cow for wanting to live

in a home like that. Honestly, it





trim——no wonder the cows are all

crazy about it. And the interior is as

clean as our parlor; maybe cleaner.

There are a couple of cowboys who do

nothing all day but work the light end

of a broom; the barnyard Gold Dust

Twins. Everything is white. Even

the milk. A microbe doesn’t stand any

more chance of living in that barn

than in a bottle of iodine. The cow

.white uniforms, like nurses, and you





can figure that any product from this

institution is just about 110 per." cent

pure. , .



As you enter the lobby of this cow

colliseum, there’s a wing off to the





,right which contains all the high 'pro~»





ducers of the herd. These are all

milked every six hours. Now, this.

four-time milking proposition may be

all right, but, personally, I wish breed—

ers would extend their efforts the oth—

er way. What they ought to breed

for is an animal that would only need

pailing not over once a. day and, pref-





erably, once a week, and yet give as





much butter-fat per year. When they

mention four-time milkers to me I get

cramps all over. But, then, I’m no

dairyman.





In the third stall, as you enter this

milky way, there stands an animal

which, to the eyes of the layman is,

apparently, just another cow. She has

four legs, a couple of horns, one tail,

an udder, a cud, and all the other nec«

essary embellishments. But, gentle—

men, there’s as much difference be

tween that cow and—-—-well, mine, for





instance—as there is between Man 0'





War and a Charley horse.





On the front of her stall is a neat

little nameplate with this inscription:

Kolrain Marion Finderne. That’s a

nice little monicker, now, isn’t it?

The “rain” part of the name isn’t so

bad, although “cloudburst” would

come nearer to describing her. Imag—

herd of twenty or so he’d be all night

Holsteins have as many as five names,

every one a jawbreaker. Really, it’s

The Rights of Farmers and Sportsmen





How tee ‘COZH’Z‘I Loot 029072 fee Dz'fi’erem'es Between These Two Claire:





.UMEROUS court decisions have



been rendered touching upon



rights of, property owners with

respect to fishing, hunting, and trap-

ping. Some of these cases are re-

viewed below. From them it is quite

manifest that, as between the land

owner and the sportsman, the difiicul-

ty of the‘ farmer is not so much a

matter of right as a matter of remedy.





In Queen v. Pratt (1855), 4 Ellis &

B.‘ 860, Pra'tt was convicted of tres-

passing on land ‘of B, in searchvof

game; and the conviction was affirm-

, ed on appeal. The court said: “We

have the facts stated that he was up-

on the highway carrying a gun and

accompanied by a dog; that he waived

his hand to the dog, which entered

the adjoining coyer; that a pheasant

rose; and he, being on the highway,

fired at it, but missed it; that the

highway is a public road; and that

Mr. Bowyer is owner of the land on

both sides, and in actual occupation

‘ of the land on one side of the high-

. way. On these facts I think the mag-



istrates were perfectly justified in con-

cluding that Pratt was trespassing on

. land in the occupation of Mr. Bowyer

in search of game. He was beyond

’allf'controversy on land, the soil and

freehold of which were in the owner.

* of the adjoining land, that is, Mr. Bow-

-. ” Itis truemthe publicto had a right-

Bowyer. The road, therefore, must be

considered as Mr. Bowyer’s land.

Then Pratt, being on that land, was

undoubtedly a trespasser if he went





there, not in the exercise of the right

In Sterling v. Jackson (1888) 69

affirmed on proof that defendant in a

game and that only."



In Marsh v. Colby (1878) 39 Mich.

626, The owner of a small lake sued

in trespass for fishing without permis-

sion, and judgment against defendant

was reversed because, ‘..‘It has always

been customary, however, to permit

the public to take fish in all the small

lakes and ponds of the state, and in

the absence of any notification to the

contrary, we think anyone may under-

stand that he is licensed to do so. No

such notification appears in this case,

and we, therefore, hold that the defend





bani, was (not a trespasser in passing

fupon plaintiff’s land with the intentto

take fish, having no, knowledge that





submerged marsh land of the plaintiff

connected with Lake Erie in Monroe

county and shot and frightened away

ducks. The plaintiff claimed that he

had exclusive right to hunt wild game

on his own premises. The defendant

contended that the waters were nav-

igable and as a member of the public

he had a right to be where he was,

and the ducks did not belong to the

plaintiff, and therefore he was guilty

of no trespass. The court said: “Ev-

ery person has the right of exclusive

dominion as to the lawful use of the

soil owned by him. No man can hunt

or sport upon another’s land but by

consent of the owner. It will be con-





-ceded that the owner of lands in this





state has the exclusive right of hunt—



ing and sporting upon his own soil."



The court held that defendant’s right



to be where he was, was only for the



purpose of navigation and not for the »

purpose of shooting water fowl.





In Hall v. Alford (1897) 114 Mich.

165, defendant was held liable in treso

pass for anchoring his boat outside of

the navigable portion of the stream,

throwing out decoys and engaging im

duck hunting from a boat, because the

bed of the stream belongs to the

riparian owner to the middle, subject

only to the right of navigation.



In Ainsworth v." Monoskong Club

(1908) 153 Mich. 185, 159 Mich. 61, ‘

injunction was asked to restrain de— _

fendant from interfering with plaintiff

shooting ducks on an arm of Mud '

Lake in St. Mary’s River; and the

court held that inasmuch as the lake

was a part of the river and the de-

fendant owned to the tread of the

stream, it was not liable for interfer-

ing with the plaintiff.



In Giddings v. Rogalewski (1916)

19.2 Mich. 319, judgment in damages

for trespass was sustained against a

defendant who entered a small lake

entirely surrounded by the plainfifi’s

land, and fished on the margin of the

lake without invitation, and though

previously forbidden. The fact that.

game fish might enter and leave the

lake through a water course was held“

no defense.



In Winans v. Willitts (1917) 197}
_ fMicli. 212, injunction. was. granted to

“restrain defendant entering_.pl_aintitf’s





4 ”premises and fishing on a small lake.





, without permission. There was an out-

let through which a small boat might

be floated from Lake Erie up Huron

River into this lake. From a public

highway one might also step onto the

water of the lake or into a boat upon

the surface of the lake. The court

said: “It is plain, however, that the

lake is not a public navigable body of

water and is a privately owned-pond.





*, * * The fact that there may be

fish in the lake, not the private prop-

erty of the plaintiff or of anyone else,

and that the state may control the

taking of the fish in it, does not avail

.the defendants. They can no more en-

ter without permission the portion of

the premises covered by water, than

they can invade the up-land~ of the

riparian owner.”





In Johnson v. Burghorn (1920) 212

Mich. 19, injunction was granted to

restrain defendant from anchoring

traps and from taking muskrats and

other fur-bearing animals in the sub-

merged water in front of the plain

tiff‘s premises in Grand River, be-

cause the plaintiff, as the owner of

the shore, had the exclusive right to

the submerged lands and to hunt and

trap thereon, subject only to the pub-

lic right of navigation. The court

said: “It is the contention of the

plaintiff and in this we think he is

correct, that defendant had no right

to anchor his traps in the submerged

land, or to cut holes in the ice and

fix stakes thereto holding traps. That

the party whose private property has

been thus interfered with has a right

of action for protection of his prop-

erty, has, we think, been passed upon

and sustained by this court.”





(1919) 207





Haymer





in Beach v.





vege'Lake in Livingsmn Bounty, QXOIBDIET'L"





two small parcels in the northwest

corner and four parcels in the south-

west corner, and asked injunction to

restrain owners of such parcels from

fishing in the lake over the land of





the plaintiff. The. injunction was deg





nied. The court said, “The important

legal question involved in the case is

whether or not, where more than one

person owned the bed of the inland

pond with neither outlet nor inlet, one

owner can exclusively use and control

his property against trespass of the

public who claim to have a license

from the owners of the land in the

lake to go thereon.” The reason for

the decision is as follows: “All ripar-

ian owners and their licenses would





have a clear right to enter upon cer--





tain portions of the surface of the

lake, and it certainly would be very

difficult to establish a definite line of

demarcation along the property lines

of the various owners.”



In Sewers v. Hacklander (1922) 219

Mich. 143, injunction was denied to

prevent interference with hunting and

trapping by the plaintiff on the sub-

merged lands of the defendant in the

Kalamazoo River where the plaintiff

could go in a small boat. The court

held. that although the land was

meandered in the public survey the

riparian owner owned the land from

the meander line to the center of the

stream, subject only to the easement

of the pulic navigation, and that the

defendant, as owner of the soil, was

entitled to all the profits to be derived

from such use as could be made of

the premises, including the exclusive

right to take muskrat upon the sub-

merged lands and marshes on the

shore. The prior decisions are quite

fully reviewed.





 





 





WATERWAYS DIVIDE HOUSE.





 





HE dispute in the house over the



diversion of water from Lake

Michigan into the Illinois river has

divided the. middle west support of the

lakes—to-ocean ship canal. Represent-

atives from Michigan and Ohio are

opposing the Chicago diversion scheme

on the grounds that it will impede

Great Lakes navigation. It is esti-

mated by Congressman Burton, of

Ohio. that the lowering of the freight

rates accomplished by lake traffic

amounts to $183,000,000 per year. The

diversion at Chicago diminishes the

carrying capacity of ships on the

Great Lakes by 3,000,000 tons per year,

and the loss to the shipping interests

is practically one dollar for each ton

of decrease.





TO REGISTER FRUIT DEALERS!

dicate that many people feel that

No objection was made to the stain-

ing of Italian red clover seed, but rep-

resentatives of the Russian seed trade

asked for an extension of time for

more experimental work before requir-

ing the staining of Turkestan alfalfa

seed. This seed has been proved to

be unsuited for use in the east and

south, but does fainly well in the north-

west. Experiments also show that the

SHOULD SILO HAVE DRAIN?





 





We have built a silo 10x30 feet, with

a concrete floor: but have left a hole

in the middle about ten inches across

so any liquid could drain out. Some

say a floor and drain is necessary.

others that a silo is better without a.

door. What would you advise in the

matter?-—M.





There is a considerable difference

of opinion among dairy experts as to

whether a silo should or should not

have a concrete floor and drain. Thou-

sands of silds are in use and giving

satisfactory service without a con-

crete floor, while many good dairymen

think that a concrete floor and .drain

is an advantage. Personally, I would

prefer a concrete floor, but think that

if the soil underneath will permit

liquid to be absorbed, that a hole in

the floor is probably all that is needed

in the way of a drain.———D.





GREEN SCUM IN WATER TROUGH.





 





Is there anything which will keep

the green scum out of a wooden water

tank?-—J. L.



There are two ways by which this

can be done. One is to arrange a.

cover which will fit over the top of

the tank and keep out the light when

the tank is not in use. arranged so

that it would close by means of a

weight or spring except when held

open. As the green algae grows only

in the presence of light, a cover would

help a great deal in keeping down the

growth.



The other remedy is to keep a small

bag of COpper sulphate crystals handy

and dip this bag into the tank full of

water for a minute or two occasional-

ly when the scum shows a tendency

An occasional use in

this way will have no bad effect on

live stock, although very much might

be dangerous. Sprinkling a little lime

in the trough every few days is also

said to help—«D.





MIXING KEROSENE WITH GASO-

LINE.





 





Would like your advice about mix-

ing kerosene with the gasoline which

I use with my Ford car. Is kerosene

injurious to the engine? If not, what

percentage of kerosene should I use?

Any guggestions will be appreciated.





A certain percentage of kerosene

can be used with gasoline in a Ford

car, depending on the weather, the

condition of the engine, the kind of

driving, and so on. But it distinctly

doesn’t pay to fool with it. The low-

test gasoline now sold has plenty of

the lower gravity material in it and

doesn’t need any more. Adding more

kerosene will simply make harder

starting, more carbon and valve trou-

bles, more fuel past the rings to dilute

the lubricating oil, and so on. Any

small saving you might make in the

fuel used will be more than balanced

by the extra lubricating oil required——

and more repair bills.





RECOMMEND LARGER THAN

FOUR-INCH TILE.





 





What is the general opinion or facts

about the use of four-inch drainage

tiles? I was brought up on the idea

that they had no place, but as they

are still made, and advocated by some,

I am wondering if any definite facts

are known. There is about a twenty-

five per cent difference in price—R. L.





A few years 'ago two-inch tiles were

considel'ably used, but now both the

two and three-finch tiles are almost

entirely discontinued so far as farm

drainage 43 concerned. Within "the





marked movement to discard the four-

tnch in favor of the five-inch tile, even

for the shortest laterals.

i cups. one of the best





 





we drains”





   





last five or six years there has been a. -





Prof. E. R.





 





 





engineers in the country. Says in Bul-

letin 365 of the University of Wiscon-

sin, “A four-inch tile is large enough

fora lateral tile not exceeding forty

rods in length, unless there is a. heavy

spring in the strip it drains, but that

a five-inch tile is better in all cases.

The three—inch tile is a thing of the

past, and the four-inch tile soon may

be. It costs the same to lay as the

five-inch tile as it does for the feur-

inch. The difference in the cost of

the tile amounts to about twenty cents

a rod. This means that where four-

inch tile cost $1.30 a rod for tile and

labor, the five-inch tile costs only $1.50

taper rod. This gives an increase of

about fifty per cent in size for an in-

crease of only about fifteen per cent

in cost. This small expenditure in the

extra size is cheap insurance against

the obstructions that might be serious

with a smaller tile.” Prof. H. B. Roe,

drainage engineer of the University of

Minnesota also states that they never

recommend smaller than a five-inch

tile—D.





Brake Roda—Some time, when ex-

ploring the lower regions of the chas-

sis, see that the brake rods have pull

springs to insure full release when in-

tended. A hot brake will be avoided.





In the year‘ 1900 only two hundred

licenses were granted to motorists in

the city of Chicago.

A WAGE CONTRACT.





 





 





 





I have been working for a man who

promised me a $100 bonus for my first

year's work. The next year he order-

ed our curtains for the house and gave

me a $10 per month raise and a bonus

for that year. I have never received

a bonus for the first year, nor the

money for the curtains. Can I collect?

How? I have no contract nor wit-

nesses ?——J.



The remedy is by suit on the con-

tract. The bonus is a part of the con-

tract price. The proof may be made





by oral testimony.—Rood.





 





RIGHT TO MANURE.





 





 





 





I have sold my farm. On it is a pile

of manure which I wish to sell. It is

a two-years' accumulation. I bought

all the feed for these two years. Is

fills} real property or can I sell it?—



. . G.





It is not believed that the rule that

a. tenant purchasing all the feed from

elsewhere can remove the manure,

would be held to apply to an owner

of the premises selling them without

reservation of the manure, and there-

fore that the purchaser of the farm is

entitled to it.——Rood.

What is a married man allowed be-

tion to the extent of $1,500, and not

exceeding forty acres of 1am in the

country, or house and lot in the city.

He is also entitled to exemption of

his team to the value of $250, tools

DEA’D ARM DISEASE.





 





HE dead arm disease is showing



up considerably in the vineyards

of the Michigan grape districts. - Dr.

Newton Partridge, of Michigan State

College, describes the disease and its

control as follows: I





“Vines affected by this disease are

characterized by a weaker growth

than those not infected by the disease.

The leaves are small, pale in color,

with the margins curled in somewhat,

and the leaf nearly upright. This con-

dition of the leaves is caused by a

lack of water, due to the girdling ef-

fect of the fungus which grows in the

trunk or arm. Anything, however,

that prevents the proper circulation of

water in the' vine will cause this same

appearance, so canes that have been

{broken in tying, or vines that have

been severely injured by the deep cul-

tivation may also have this appear-

ance. Where the disease is causing

the damage, the cankers on trunk or

arm may be found—thesd are dead

areas usually covered by the small

black fruiting bodies of the fungus.

The disease may affect one or more





canes, or the whole vine, depending





upon the location of the canker on

the vine.





These affected vines should be re-

.moved at the base, cutting off the

trunk as closely as possible, and the

vine burned. This removes the cank-

er from the vineyard, and helps to

prevent the spread of the disease. The

treatment also helps to save the vine

for the vineyard. Where the canker

is in the‘lower trunk, it acts as a

girdle and causes the death of the

roots by starvation. as the food from

«the leaves cannot pass the canker to

reach the roots, and the vine is lost.

gW'here the vine is removed early in

the season, and the earlier the better,

a new shoot is usually thrown out and

the vine is saved for future useful-

,ness. So far as known, no spraying

treatment is of any value in controll-

ing this disease.”





This is a very insiduous disease.

which will cause considerable damage

if it is allowed to get a foothold in a

vineyard. Therefore, a sharp lookout

must be kept for the disease, and

prompt means be used to keep it in





. control. p





POISONED COWS.





 





WE often hear the question asked:

“Is there any danger of stock

getting poisoned from the spraying

material that falls on the ground un—

der the fruit trees?” It is generally

answered in the negative.



Hearing so often that there is no

danger, we Vere careless, as we had

sprayed that orchard for years, cutting

the hay every year without any loss,

but this last year, poison got us.



We have an apple orchard, with al-

falfa growing between the ’rows of

trees one way. We sprayed 'our or-

chard the last of May. When alfalfa

had made quite a growth, the day we

sprayed, the wind was blowing quite

strong from the west, which carried

lenough of the poison (arsenate of

,lead) that, we were using, out onto the

growing alfalfa to do the mischief.

We cut the alfalfa in June. The day

we drew this load of hay, it rained

and got it wet, so we did not throw

it into the bay. and as we were not"





' going to make any more bay for a few

1 days, left it on the wagon. Feeding it

few days, the cow died. A few days

after this, another fresh cow was tak-

en sick the same way, we called the

veterinary again, who also failed to





\find the trouble again, and . the cow





died in a. couple of days. We called,

the veterinary and told him we would

like to have him examine this cow

and see if he could find out what was

the cause of the death. It had never

come into our minds yet,, that they

were poisoned from the spraying. In

the examination, he found everything

all right until he came to the heart.

Then he said, “There are some sppts

here indicating poison." Then we be-

gan to study out where they got the

poison, and have fully decided that

they were poisoned from that hay. If

we Juad gotten that hay in dry and

thrown it in the bay, and it would

have been fed in the winter, no doubt

we would not have lost our two cows.

as they would not have gotten enough

at one time to have killed them.



So, to all 'who are cutting hay be-

tween fruit trees, we would warn them

to spray when the wind did not blow

the spray material over on the grow-

ing grass—S. K. Kinney, Hillsdale

County. ,



We have some doubts that the cows

were poisoned by the grass grown in

sprayed orchards. Innumerable tests,

conducted by experiment stations,

on the grass in sprayed orchards to

show that there is not enough poison

affect any domestic animal.



Perhaps these cows got their poison

from .some other source; it may have

been near where the spray was mixed.

Often cases of poisoning have been

traced to such sources. It seems that

cows like to drink water that has

Paris green or arsenic in it.



Tests have shown that it would take

four hundred apples with spray on

them to seriously affect a person. In

other words, the apples would kill the

person before the poison on them

would. Recently there was great agi-

tation in England over the poison on

American sprayed apples. Someone

was apparently taken sick after eat-

ing apples and the conclusion was

that the sprayed apples caused the

trouble. Later it was found, however,

that the apples were in no way respon-

sible, and the sale and consumption of

American apples was again resumed.

ADVERTISING—CH EAP BUT

EFFECTIVE. '





 





. ANY farmers do not realize that

there is a considerable home

market for products, such as truck

crops, fruit, butter and dressed poul‘

try. There are a. good many people,

even in farming communities, who

have to buy many of the things that .

their neighbors—have to sell. I do not

see any reason for hauling these prod

ucts away to the city, when we can

sell them just as well right around

home. “Advertise,” is the watchword.

We can put up such notices as the

following in the post office, at the cor-

ners of the highways and at the door-

ways of local factories, everywhere





that people might see them: “Straw-

berries for Canning, Come to the

Farm and Help Pick Them;” “Our





Sweet Corn is Just Right for Canning

this W'eek;” “Corn is Never so Good

as when Just Picked, ,Telephone -—_ for

Quick Delivery;’? “We Would Rather

Sell Our Peaches to Our Neighbors

than Send them Away.” , ,



The above are suggestions. Some

of them I have used. This kind ol

advertising does not cost a cent. All

you have to do is to write them on a

piece of blank paper and post them up

where they are‘likely to be seen by

people. The idea' is that you should

advise your neighbors that you have

the things to sell. and convey to them

COVERING WATER STAINS ON

WALLS.





 





Could you tell me of some kind of

sizing to use on lime plaster wallsbe-

that would cover water spots in the

can give us.—R. S. ,



Most decorators cover such water

stains with one or two coats of thin

shellac varnish, or knotting varnish,

as it is often called. This usually will

keep the spot from showing through.



Another method is to cover the

stains with hard oil finish, reduced

with enough turpentine to make it dry

without gloss. For very bad cases, a

little paint of about the color of the

calcimine may be used in the hard oil

finish and turpentine—I. D.





WATCH THE ACCELERATOR

its functioning as quickly as possible.

Some pedals have a tendency to open

when the car strikes a bump, or else

.the foot is thrown forward, producing

the same result. This causes the car

to lurch forward, when the very oppo-

site course of slowing down is desired.

If you would know the many purposes for which salt can be used in

your home, if you would gain a new understanding of the importance

of the right salt—send for the booklet illustrated above.



Is there a real difference between Diamond, Crystal and ordinary

salt? Is Diamond Crystal whiter and purer? Are there definite ad-

vantages in using a flake-like salt, such as Diamond Crystal, in pref-

erence to the cube-like grains of ordinary salt? This book will tell

you how to find out for yourself the answers to these questions.



For 39 years, Diamond Crystal has been accepted as “The Salt

that’s all Salt.” Scores of government tests have shown that Dia-

mond Crystal always analyzes more than 99 per cent pure.



. Why this purity?

Two factors are responsible. For one thing, the salt deposits from

which Diamond Crystal is taken, 2,200 feet below the earth’s sur-

face, are. of exceptional purity. More important,- Diamond Crystal

is the only salt refined by the Alberger process—a method for re-

moving impurities by passing the salt brine, heated to a high tem-

perature, through more than twenty miles of pipes.



Diamond Crystal is mild. {Pure salt is always mild. It is im-

purities which give that bitter, “salty” taste to salt. And Diamond

Crystal comes in tiny flakes, which dissolve quickly and blend per-

fectly with food.



There is a Diamond Crystal Salt for every farm use—for table and

cooking, for canning, for butter and cheese making, for curing

meats; for livestock. Study the Salt Guide at the right—and ask for

Diamond Crystal at the store where you trade.

:her head to glance down the row of

tents, transparently aglow with light

'of lantern or, of candle, stretching

' away across the scorched and barren

.cow pasture, to hearken for. a mo-

ment to the discordant noises of the

berry-pickers’ camp—the ‘sharp wail-

ing of a child, the harsh Voices of a

man and woman clashing angrily, a

girl’s coarse laugh, the insistent jang—

- ling refrain of a cheap phonograph

far down the line. Fern made a little

wry face, gave a shudder of disgust,

then bent defiantly to her task again.





“All about me,” she wrote, “rise

lgiant, spicy spruce trees, thrusting

their tapering points into the diamond

studded sky. Beyond the flickering

crimson of our leaping camp-fire all

is silent, velvety blackness. There is

not another human being within miles

of our little party. Not a sound

breaks the stillness of the forest save

the tumult of a tiny mountain stream

that scrambles down among the boul-

ders just beyond the firelight, the soft

rustling of a giant cotton-wood above

my head, and, now and then, the faint

cracking of a fallen branch where

some night prowler moves through the

forest.” Pencil in air, Fern paused to

scan the finishing paragraph, then

nodded satisfaction.





“That sounds real enough to deceive

anyone.” she mused triumphantly.

“He will never guess where I am ac-

tually camped, what I am really do-

ing.” .



Chin cupped in palm, elbow on knee,

she sat gazing into the night, a slen-

der girlish figure, with the flickering

candle lighting bronze gleams in her

soft brown hair, touching intermittent-

ly her dark and somber eyes. “How

different,” she mused, “the scenes she

had been picturing, from the ones

through which .ne actually moved

from the moment, when she rolled

aching from her bed upon the ground

at six each chilly morning at the fore-

man’s sharp hallo, through the long,

hot, dusty hours in the raspberry

patches, to the weary evening’s mulli-

gan upon the ground beside the tiny

sheet-iron stove in the cook-tent. With

all her soul she loathed this lie that

she was living. She had nct meant to

go so far, carry deception to this de-

gree. In the beginning it had seemed

so simple to tell Denton Waymire that

she would spend the summer camp-

ing, to lead him to believe, by half—re-

marks and light suggesitons, that her

summer months would be spent fish-

ing, hunting, and tramping among the

Cascade Mountains. For, then, she

had not even dared to hope that he

would want to continue their acquaint-

ance, to correspond with her all sum-

mer.





They had met on the train, a month

before, as Fern was returning from

her winter’s teaching, and from the

moment of meeting, so strong had

been Fern’s desire to appear well in

his eyes that when, after much casual

talk of.motor trips and island cruises

that his people and his friends were

planning, he had asked Fern how she

would spend her summer vacation, she

had balked at the sordid truth, that

for her there would be no summer va-

cation. After a winter’s teaching, she

must find employment for the summer

as best she might, waiting table per-

haps, in the little ice cream parlor of

the summer resort where her people

lived, or sit labeling cans hour after

And suddenly inspiration had

come to her. She would spend the

summer camping! No need of going

into details, for, of course, her camp-

ing must be done where there was

work to do, but, “I expect to spend

the summer in the open,” she had told

Denton, steady-eyed. “After the months

indoors, shut in the school-room, I

long for the pure air of the moun-

tains.” Thus, with the berry season,

her summer's camping had begun.

Her older brothe Henry, her sister,

Susan, and Fern ad joined the dusty,

scratched and red‘stained ranks of

berry pickers.



The sun beat mercilessly down, hour

after hour, upon the berry patch. The

yellow dust in choking clouds rose

from the nearby highway and rolled

across the berry bushes, settling heav-

ily upon them. Arms and fingers

smarting from prick and scratch of

berry briars, Fern picked wearily on.



Every few moments a car rolled

swiftly along the highway, and Fern

had a glimpse of laughing faces, flut-

terng veils, and cool pongee before

she turned her back squarely upon





was.





them or, dropping to aching knees,





took advantage of the screen of bush-

es to conceal her, while she sought

elusive raspberries. For a fear lay

heavily upon Fern’s heart, the fear

that some day she would look up to

see Denton Waymire in one of those

passing cars. Small danger that he

would recognize her in that cheap

straw shade hat, and khaki coverall

smeared with stains and crimson-

kneed, she reassured herself. Yet the

fear would not be banished.



At the packing-shed that noon, she

found her mail. Her heart leaped at

sight of a thick envelope addressedm

the hand that had grown so famihar

since that wonderful day upon the

train. She tore it open eagerly as she

walked down the hill between her

‘ “There is nothing to be ashamed of

m picking berries,” protested Henry

quickly. “If that is the sort of guy

he is, the sort that would look down

on you for doing respectable work

like this, the less you have to do with

him, the better.” -



Fern opened indignant lips, closed

them again miserably. There was

nothing she could say. Her brother

must not know what she had led Den-

ton VVaymire to expect; She dared

not even " hint at the catastrophe

which threatened her, which had

sprung upon her unawares. For she

had not dared to dream that Denton

Waymire would want to visit her this

summer. She had hoped he would

next winter, but then she would be

back in Troyville teaching, and there

would be nothing of which to be

ashamed.



Instead, here he was demanding that

she let him know now how he could

reach her, saying that he had a

month’s vacation imminent and was

planning totake a horse and follow

her into the mountains. “Your de-

scriptions are so vivid,” he had writ-

ten, “that I can shut my eyes and see

you there in that wonderful spot. The

fishing and the hunting, as you de-

scribe them, certainly appeal to me.

I 'am keen about them both. But you

must guess that isn’t the main reason

I am set on joining your party. I

know that there are several of you

but, except for your brother and sis-

ter. you. have not mentioned any of

them. For my own peace of mind, I

must find out who those others are

who are having the luck to be spend-

ing the summer there with you.”



Under other circumstances, Fern

would have thrilled at the implication

of those words. But joy was complete-

ly overshadowed by bitterness and

panic, bitterness because subterfuge

had been necessary, panic because

at night she wrote him, telling,

him that they were moving on to, a.

remote region where it would be al-





most impossib e for him to ‘flnd them. .





saying that she hesitated to broach

the subject to her companions of in-

troducing a stranger into the party,

desperately marshaling every excuse

of which she could conceive. With a

heart full of misgiving, she mailed her

letter and miserably awaited the

result. . '



. Days passed. Each noon, Fern hur«

ried to the packing-shed and snatched

eagerly at her mail. But each noon,

she scanned the envelopes in vain.

The fine familiar script was missing.



Too late she wished» that she had

let him come, had met him ‘at the sta-

tion and explained the situation as

best she could. Even if he had turned

from ,her then, disgusted at her de«

ception, unwilling to ever trust her

again, it would have been better than



this, this having him think she did

not want to see him. Night after

night/she tossed sleepless on her pile

of hay upon the ground, rose aching,

tired and unrefreshed each morning

to face another dragging burning day.



A week crept by—the longest she

had .ever known-—and brought the

evening of an unusually trying day.



They had been re-picking twice-picked

patches, slow and unremunerative la-

bor. Fern worked steadily and swift-

ly all day, snatching a belated berry

from this branch, another one from

that—and had earned just eighty

cents. After their frugal supper, weary





and despondent, she had slipped into '





a simple frock of vivid blossom crepe,

hoping that its gayety and freshness

would refresh her spirts as pretty

frocks are prone to do. But it was

useless. Life looked a drab and empty

affair as, long after the others had

gone to bed, she sat alone upon a box

before the tent, somber eyes brood~

ing upon the candle which spluttered

in a catsup bottle just inside the flap.»



She heard the eleven o’clock train

whistle far down the rail, pause for

a moment at the station a quarter of

a mile away, then rattle on into the

night. The camp was settling down

to sleep. One after another; lights

snuffed out in the glowing tents, leav‘

ing them gray-white blotches in the

darkness.



Fern, rising wearily at last to turn

towards her own tent, was startled by

a footstep on the sod. Who could be

approaching at this hour of the night?

Henry was heavily asleep inside the

tent. Fern felt suddenly defenceless

and alone. Her heart caught in its

heat, then raced tumultuously ahead.

For, from the darkness, she heard her

name called softly, “Fern!” Could she

mistake that voice?

as Denton Waymire stepped within.

the dim circle of candlelight.



“Where are the others?” he asked

softly.



“Asleep.”



“Don’t wake them. I want to talk

to you.” Hand on her arm, 'he drew

her outside the circle of shifting can-

dle light, then loosed his hold.



“How did you find me?” Fern de-

manded. ,



“I went to your home. Your mother

gold me. where you were—how to get

ere.” . ' '



Fern felt a sick sense of defeat. He

They say





I’m





((fussy))





WELL, let that go. I’m ready to admit

that so far as pipe tobacco is concerned,

I’ve got ideas. And if insisting on a

tobacco that won’t bite the tongue or

parch the throat is "being fussy,” you

can write "guilty” alongside my name,

and I won’t even appeal the charge.



I can’t speak for anybody else, but

personally I smoke for pleasure! So I

smoke Prince Albert. I’ll say I do. Right

after breakfast, on up until I switch off

the light for the night. Pipe-load after

pipe-load. Day after day. Prince Albert

treats my tongue as gently as a mother





handles a brand-new baby.





FRINGE ALBERT





They tell me it’s the Prince Albert

process that cuts out bite and parch. Fair

enough. I’ll testify before the well-

known world that P. A. is the coolest,

sweetest, most genuinely friendly smoke

a fellow can get on this planet. You sus-

pect that the minute you throw back the

hinged lid on the tidy red tin and get a

whiff of real tobacco.



Now, I’m telling you to be fussy about

your smoking. Many a pipe-smoker has

fooled himself when he should have been

soothing himself with P. A. I say it pays

fireside in a house overlooking

Lake Michigan, in northern Michigan.

The fire occasionally replenished by

Small Boy, who is «dispatched to the

‘wood shed for more fuel. _

Personae:—-—A man of about fifty, his

wife, a youth of fourteen, a boy of

eight. The principal actor, the man

of fifty, is telling a story. In a melod-

‘ious voice, with evenly balanced sen-

tences and a well chosen vocabulary,

he is telling the story of Joseph and

his brothers. He seems to know it





perfectly, and there is no hesitation-





as to what comes next. The listeners,

Who sit very quietly, also seem to

know the story well, but that only

appears to make them the more keen

to “ hear it. In fact, «both the youth

and the small boy had heard it before

. ‘ . . they could read it

themselves,

when the

fur the

"Sunday s t o r y”

comes,

as eager as ever

to hear it again.

or the story of

Esther, or Daniel

(0, boy!) or Jon-

ah,» or Nehemiah,

’er. They were laying in a stock of

Things Good to be Remembered.



Reading biography is good for youth,

for anybody, in fact. The late Sir.

Wm. R. Nicol], founder, and for forty

years editor of the. British Weekly,

London, always read any biography he

could lay his hands on: lives of states-

men, clergymen, _ inventors, pirates,

generals, admirals, pugilists, artists,

famous criminals, were all grist to his

omnivorous mental mill. He said he

learned something important about

humans from every such life that he

read. And his own life, now in print,

is a marvelous human document. Read

your children biography. In days to

come, they will thank you for it.



And what a biography the life of

this Hebrew youth is! And how well

written! It moves on from one climax

to another with the sure tread of the

master. It is one of the world’s great

short stories.

H OW Joseph stuck to his religion!

, Being in Rome, so to speak, he



did. not do as the Romans did.

'He did as he had been brought up.

The Bible ascribes Joseph’s good for-

tune to his belief in Jehovah. _"‘The

Lord was with him,” it says. And that

is explanation enough. But I suspect

that he did not say his prayers and

let it go at that. He was alert to im-

prove every opportunity that would.

better his condition. To get back to

Canaan, even to the brothers who had

betrayed him and sold him, to see the

old father again, to walk over the

fields where grazed the thousands of

sheep! These images were never far

from his mind’s eye.





And so he prayed and worked and

hoped. He impressed everyone he met.

They all liked him. The captain of

the guard liked him, the warden of

the prison was won over to him. He

did not lose his nerve, which is one

way of saying that he did not lose his

grip on the Unseen. It is great to

meet a man who, when thrown down,

lands on his feet, or scrambles to his

feet shortly. Some people have a re-

verse and they never get over it. They

go about like a branded steer, never

able to shake off the brand. Others

will take a reverse, swallow once or

twice, get their bearings, take a fresh

hold on things-as-they-are, and -go

ahead. No finan surely eVer got a

more terrific blow than did our hero.

To be sold like a mustang by your

own kith and kin, Who hope never t_o

see you again, is enough to shake a

man to the center. But Joseph got a

new hold on himself, on life as he

found it, on the God he served, and

went on.



Do “all things work together for

good?” It does not look that way,

does it?\ But that was the creed that

served our fathers. History. is full of

confirmations ,of it. But sometimes





one has to wait until the next gener--





ation before it is fulfilled. Your chil-

dren may see what you do not. They





may realize on the . pmmise, where





~ you do not.

a revival that was City—wide, twelve

hundred faded, wrinkled Methodist

church letters were exhumed from

trunks and bureau drawers. Is mod-

ern faith less transplantable than an-

cient? Is it less deeply engraven in

the heart? Joseph stuck to his, Dan-

iel stayed by his, when the staying

was not good. They felt that their

faith was everything. Of course, mil—

lions of modems would do the same,

under similar circumstances. But mil-

lions more, it looks, would not.





 





 





   





Joseph's religion was-whats“ him

his friends. In jail it was. his-belief

in‘his God that won him his friends.

The“ same is true now. Many people

who go to city er large town and are

homesick and unhappy would get into

good society, find friends, and soon be-

come oriented, if they would attend

church and get into church life. This

should be impressed on the young es-

pecially. A church home is everything.

Marriages born of church acquaint-

ances are usually happy. Moreover,

such an atmosphere helps ward off the

power of temptation. Joseph’s relig-

ion did that for him.

ICE-CREAM As A Fooo.





 





AM not so very old, yet I can re-



member when fever patients were



denied water! It seems criminally

foolisn now, yet when my practice be-

gan, little more than a quarter cen~

tury ago, I was constantly running in-

to people who clung to that crude,

foolish regulation. Nowadays, I think,

it is understood by everyone that

there are very few ailments in which

the plentiful administration of (cool,

fresh water is not only permissible,

but very desirable, ,The doctor who

has a fever patient today instructs the

nurse to see that water is offered to

the patient at regular intervals, not

allowing it to be a matter of chance.





_ The rules of a few generations, ago in





regard to what a sick person might

eat or drink have given place to reg-

ulations that are much more simple

and in accordance with common sense.



I have just had a letter asking if it

is dangerous to eat ice-cream when

one has a cold, and I believe that such

an idea has some vogue. There is no

more foundation for it than for the

old superstition about the danger in

drinking water. By the time the ice-

cream has reached the stomach its

temperature is materially increased

and the cold effect is very transient.

On the other hand, ice-cream is a very

helpful food and one so acceptable

that it often tempts the appetite of a‘

sick child or adult when ordinary

forms of nourishment are positively

r‘epellann It is a food. that may be

used to advantage in many very ser-

ious diseases when more substantial

articles of diet might possibly prove

injurious. Nowadays it is a stand—by

in typhoid fever. Foods having as

their base milk or cream are always

safe in sickness, excepting in diseases

of the digestive tract in which all food

is, for’the time being, prohibited.



Even ice water, though undoubtedly

harmful if used without restraint,

may be used by siCk~ and well alike

if taken in moderation. Sipped slowly

it cools the mouth and throat in a

very acceptable manner and, taken in

this way, its temperature is quite

harmless by the time the stomach is

reached.





,FALSE PRIDE.





 





(Continued from page 762).

knew the worst then. He‘r pitiful su-b-

terfuge had been in vain. Probably he

had found her mother bent above the

washtub. He had been surrounded by

the younger children in their patched

and faded clothing. The baby had

undoubtedly crept to him in his grimy

little rompers—«it seemed hopeless to

try to keep him clean. He knew now

just hOVV" miserably they lived, how

poor they were. Common—he prob-

ably thought them. Her anger flared

up at the thought. Her mother had

been as gently reared as his, she

knew. Her family was as good. With

a sudden unaccountable fierceness,





,she resented Denton’s intrusion. Why





had he come unbidden, found her out?





 





She turned angrily upon» him. “I





suppose you’ve come to tell me what

you think of me,” she cried breath-

lessly. “Well, go ahead. You can’t

possibly feel more contempt for me

than I do for myself. I don’t under-

stand why I did it, pretended I was

what I wasn’t. I have nothing of

which to be ashamed. Only it was

such a“ temptation, when you spoke





casually of maids and cars and things, ,





to pretend we had them, too. I am

so sick of working and struggling and

scrimping and scraping just to make

both ends meet. It was fun to pretend

for just a little while that I was used

to the sort of things you were. I

never dreamed it would go so far in

the beginning. But of course that

doesn’t excuse the deliberate decep-

tion. I know just what you think

of me.”



“Are you sure about that, Fern?"

asked Denton. - _



Something in his voice startled Fern

from her truculent attitude. “You can

only think one thing,” she said. “That

I am an awful little liar, that you can

never believe another word I say.”





 





 

 

 

 





. g , .

He said unexpectedly, "You, aren’t a’

very good judge of character, are you ”’-

little girl?” . ,

She looked up, surprised. “Ldon’t





know. Why?” she asked, a little In~

steadily.

“You thought that I would look





down on you, have nothing more to

do with you, if I found out that you

were pegging away all summer long,

day after day in the heat and dirt to

help your sisters get an education.

You see, your mother told me things

that you didn’t trust me enough to

tell me. What a. cad you must have

thought me, Fern.”



Fern’s face burned crimson. She

turned away to hide the tremble of

her lips, the tears that would not be

kept back. “I’ve been a little fool,” ‘

she managed tremulously, “but I’ve

been sufficiently punished for it. Won’t

you please go now?”



“Go?" Laughing, tenderly he caught

both rough and smarting little hands

and swung her toward him. “You

don't imagine. do you, that I am going

away again now that I’ve found you?"

Gently he lifted first one and then the

other burning hand against his lips.

“Poor little hands,” he said. “They

have earned a rest. When I go, you

are going. too,” he told her. “The

first thing we are going to do is to.

hunt up the nearest minister. And

after that we are going to get a couple

of horses and head straight for that

spot in the Cascades that you descrih‘

ed so vividly. At least you are going

to have a real summer vacation."



THE END





WHEN A DOOR IS NOT A DOOR.





 





A Jew named Isadore kept a store.

One day a customer came into the

store. and thinking he would have a

little fun with the proprietor, asked.

him how many doors there were in

the store. VVhereupon he answered,

“two—the front door and the back

door.”



“No," he said, “There are four—the

front door. the back door, Isadore, and

the cuspidor."



Isadore, thinking that was quite a

joke, hurried home at night and said

to his life, “Wife. how many doors

haf we in the store?” She answered.

“Two," as he had done.



‘No’ he said, “ve haf four—the

front door, the back door, me and the

spittoon."

Adventures Of Tilly and Billy O





T/le erZrz'z‘ to 07107226177/6 Harp/m!





ILLY and Billy rode a very long



way. Their little chariot went

humpty. bumpty. jiggledy. jog.



over a road that was rougher



than the old' stone wall that ran be-

tween Billy’s and Tilly’s homes. It was

drawn by two little people that looked

very much like Nicky Gnome, but they

wore suits of brown and said their

names were Tinker and Tonker. Even

though they were very tiny, they

pulled the chariot along fast, almost

faster than Tilly and Billy cared to go.

Just which was which, Tilly, and

Billy could not remember. for they

looked very much alike. When Tilly

would ask, “How much farther. Tink-

er?” the one she thought was Tonker

would answer with a twinkle in his

bright little eyes,





 





“These Are Our Patients,” Said Nicky

Gnome. '





farther, and a little farther than that.”

So she and Billydecided to be pa-

tient and wait until they arrived at

Gnomeville before asking any more

questions. .

, This rough and rocky road finally

brought them straight to the side of

the mountain, a mountain so big that

neither Tilly nor Billy saw the top.

“How are we ever going to get over

the top ?” whispered Tilly to Billy, for





there was not a road visible anywhere...





But no sponer said than Tinker and

Tanker pul ed the chariot behind a big





in





rock. There a road opened up, and

after a very long ride through a dark

tunnel, they arrived on the other side.



.It was a very queer land in which

Tilly and Billy found themselves. Big

green mountains reached the sky on

every side. All the people were tiny,

like Tinker and Tonker and Nicky

Gnome. who was at the end of the

tunnel to meet them. -



“According to my promise, we shall

go straight to the hospital,” said

Nicky.



Nicky hopped in the queer chariot

with them and in a minute they stop-

ped before a rock-like building with

many holes in the sides. These holes

Tilly and Billy decided, must be win-

dows, for they were placed in regular

order just like those in their own

homes. But it was the sight out under

the trees, that grew about this queer

bu11d1ng, that attracted the visitors

most.



_ “These are our patients,” said Nicky

in response to a question.



“But this is a little bird,” said Billy,

gomg up to a tiny bed that was near

est to them.



“Yes, that is Madame \l'ren. She has

a broken wing,” answered Nicky.



“Oh, 011, do tell us how it happen-

ed,” said Tilly.



“One day when Madame Wren was





singing her prettiest song,” began

Nicky Gimme, “a sharp stone hit her

.tmy Wing.” ’



“Too bad,” lamented Tilly, “but





where did the stone come from?”

“Madame \X’ren was never quite sure,

for she was very interested in her

song, but before she fell dizzily to the

ground, she saw a slingshot disappear

mg into a pocket of a boy who had .

brown hair and blue eyes. Just by

chance, I found her lying in the tall

grass, very weak and cold. Dr. Gnome

says she will get well, but she never

MRS. SMITH A_ND1H‘ER‘POULTRY.





 





HIS womanis name is not Mrs."





Smith. It doesn’t make any dif-



ference about her name anyway,

{but her case will give you an idea of

just how much a farmer’s wife can

accomplish in the way of making mon-

ey with chickens.



Mrs. Smith, up to a few years ago,

was doing just what a great many

other farmers’ Wives are (icing—keep.

ing a few hens and letting them rustle

for a living all summer and go “on

strike” all winter. When she decided

to go into the business on a heavier

scale, she certainly did not get any

encouragement from her husband. .He,

like a great many others, had come

to the conclusion that poultry did not

pay, and'that was all there was to it.



But you know how women are, any-

way. She would just have her way

about it, and she set all the eggs she

could gather up, and as it was a

secret she resorted to hens and had

{them hid all over the place.



As everything has to have a starting

point, this family war started when

the chicks began to hatch. There

were chickens all over the place and





_ the air was blue; the intervening pe-





riod between hatching time and. the





first pullets’ eggs is a matter of his-





tory.



The tables turned before the winter

was over, however, and Mrs. Smith

surprised her husband with a cash

balance of $800 at the end of the first

year. .



The next spring Mrs. Smith bought

an incubator and broader and by grad-

ually increasing her flock and improv-

ing the quality by culling, she now

has a flock of nearly .400 hens. housed





”in three pens.





These pens are not expensive af-

fairs, but were built with an eye for

.comfort for the hens.



These hens were kept in the houses

all winter'and were confined to large

yards all summer.



She has a steady market for all the

eggs she can produce, there are no

stray nests full of eggs, and as soon

as the hatching season is over she

“swats the roosters.”



‘The last chat we had with Mr.

Smith, he intimated that their next.)

move would be to sell out———move onto,

a place of about twenty acres——andE

take the hens with them. ,



There is a wonderful opportunity

for more Mrs. Smiths in this country.

it doesn't cost much to start,'and the

investment—R. A. Hill.





COCCI DIOSIS.





 





OCCIDIOSIS is a serious destruc-



_ tive disease of growing chicks,



that becomes increasingly evident at

this time of year, particularly in wet

seasons or after prolonged wet spells.

The disease usually affects chicks

niore‘ than three weeks old and may

affect them up to twelve or fourteen





~weeks of age and is usually particu-





larly serious where a large number of

chicks are kept on a limited range.

The birds affected appear drooping,

drag their wings, the heads become

pale, theeyes sunken, the shanks with-

ered and the droppings usually carry

more or less bloody material. When

lbirds are seriously affected and pick-

ed up in the hand, they seem ’to be

more or,Iess stifl and move about in,





- a clumsy stiff-jointed manner. Upon





post mortem examination, the blind

pouches or ceca are Very much on

_ to have been termed in layers.





'Farm has the high pen in the R. I.





France, and 3,700 in Germany;





themselves, are blackish red in color,

brought about by the bleeding of these

organs. This disease is caused by a

minute parasite, not a germ, 'which





burrows into the walls of the intes- ,





tines, sets up an irritation with the





aforementioned results. This parasite ?





has a complex life history, going

through an infectious and a non—infec-

tious stage. The mature coccidia bur1

row into the intestinal walls and rap?

idly break up into minute parts called





oocysts which are discharged intothe ,

intestinal tract and pass out through .





the droppings. This represents a non-

infectious stage, and if picked up at

this stage by other birds, no ill results

follow; however, if these oocysts are

deposited in damp soil or mud at a

favorable temperature; they undergo

a change, and mature into the infec-





tious stage, which, when picked up by ~





the birds, again burrow into the intes-

tinal walls of the chicks, and coccid-

iosis- develops. When coccidiosis is

found, it is advisable to immediately

remove all healthy birds to clean quar-

ters that have not been contaminated

by coccidiosis in previous years, and

all unthrifty, stunted, or weak chicks,

should be either disposed of, or sep-

arated from the well birds. The birds

should be fed sour milk or buttermilk

in liberal quantities, and if this is not

available. an intestinal disinfectant

such as potassium permanganate, or

B-K solution should be kept in the

drinking water.



Some authorities recommend that

mash be fed sparingly, grain in mod,

erate quantities, and preferably in

hoppers and in the house, thus reduc-

ing the possibility of the birds pick-

ing up infection through the soil.

Where chicks have been once affected

with coccidiosis, care should be taken

not to rear chicks on the same ground

for two seasons, as coccidia may live

over in the soil for one or two years.



To prevent coccidiosis, raise the

chicks on clean ground, and not on

the same ground oftener than once in

three seasons—J. A. Hannah.





THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST.





 





ANSON'S pen of White Leghorns



still holds the lead in this con-

test by a comfortable margin. The

total production of this pen, according

to the latest report, is 1,599 eggs,

while the nearest competitor, Harry

Burn’s Leghorns, has laid 1,516 eggs.

The third high pen belongs to the

Northland Poultry Farms, also Leg-

horns, and has laid 1,488 eggs. The

fourth, fifth and sixth pens are Leg-

horns and belong to the Marshall

Farms, George B. Ferris, and St. Johns

Poultry Farm. They have production

as follows, 1,457, 1,456, 1,452 respec-

tively.



The contest as a whole, has reached

an average of 120.4 eggs per hen. The

average production for the week was

4.31 eggs per hen. The weather con—‘

ditions are very favorable for produc—

tion and it is expected that good pro-

duction will be maintained.



The high pen in the \Barred Rock

BECKMAN HATCHERY





u Lyon 51:. DEPT. 1.





GRAND RAPIDS, moi-1m ,
N an old agricultural paper wrap

I ped around some country produce

was a statement by a country

woman, who did not sign her name,

to the effect that her town relatives

and friends over-ran the farm all

through the summer and until late in

the fall when work was pressing and

help hard to get. But that did not

exasperate her as did the fact that

they innocently supposed, or pretend-

ed to believe, that the things that go

on the country table cost little or

nothing. Therefore, it is a pleasure

for the country woman to entertain,

and also debts, social debts contracted

in this way, need never be repaid.

About the time the paper came un-

,der my eye, I heard a town woman

discoursing about how her country

1elatives over—ran. her premises and

never paid their social debts by ask—

ing her to visit them. Having no au-





 





 





 





 





Madame Fashion is to be compli-

mented that she still holds simplicity

as the keynote to style. In this yel-

low flat c1epe dress, simplicity rules

supreme in its detachable cape, pleat-

ed skirt, and graduated bands of11h1te

crepe de chene. --.





 





tomobile and not being able to walk

the distance to the locality of her rela-

tives, she had to submit with such

grace as she could muster, and her

wail vas that country people believe,

or try to make believe, that living is

as cheap in town as in the country.

“They charge me market prices for

the butter and eggs and fruit and veg-

etables, they bring me,” she said,

“then sit down with their hearty coun—

try appetites to help eat what they

charged me for.”



There you have it! Some people

in the country imppsed upon and some

in town. I could not but think of the

fair and honorable exchange of courte-

sies that has existed between my fam~

ily and a fine country family for some

years past, for if social life is one-

sided it soon loses its charm. Ex-

change is not the wrong word to use

in this connection.



When they thresh or put up hay or

something that is a rare treat to town

children, they invite the youngsters

out to see the performance, and on

“Saturdays, When the weather is good,

there is real fun on the farm. In win-

ter, and occasionally in summer, we

' return the compliment by inviting

" .,, their children to the city.



If it. happens that circus day finds

childi en in for the parade, we run out

and get them, keeping them safe for

the day just as our own are kept safe

from machinery on clover hulling or

threshing days.



Most of the adult visits are “eat-

less" ones, but the children do revel

in eating away from home. 'We save

up magazines and papers for them of

which we have more than the ordi-

nary family because of business re—

lations along that line, while they in

turn give the children a chance to

gather nuts and wild berries in sum-

mer and fall.



I am sure there" has never-been the

slightest; feeling on my part that l

have been imposed upon, and am quite

certain my busy friend feels the same.





_W’e are not rich, but they have lux»





uries that we have not, and we have

some things that they can not enjoy

because of their location. It is nice

for them on a stfirmy night to know

that they will not have to drive in

for their high school children, and

nice for us to know that short vaca-

tions in summer are available to ours.

There has never been the slightest jar

and I hope never will be. We can not

undersxand how people can take and

never give, either in town or country,

for one-sided friendship is never en-

joyable or profitable.

HEN men folks become tired of

plain rhubarb sauce, I add a bit



of nutmeg and cinnamon and they eat

broth and fat with flour, season

highly, and pour this sauce over the

macaroni. Heat in the oven for twen-

ty minutes. Minced sweet pepper and

green peas make a pleasing addition

to this dish—Mrs. F. W.





CHASE AWAY THE GRASS STAINS.





INCE nature has donned her dress



of green, the problem of removing

grass stains from clothing again faces

the busy housewife. The following

methods are recommended.



Wash the fresh stain in cold water

without soap. Soap sets the stain and

should therefore not be used.



Alcohol 01 ether will dissolve the

green colo1ing matter when the mate-

rial cannot be washed.



Apply Javelle 11 atei and follow im-

mediately with boiling water." Thor-

ough 1insing will prevent Javelle from

affecting the fiber. ,

PICK THE PANSIES AND SWEET



PEAS.





E lavish with your sweet peas and



pansies when your friends come

your way. It is a good plan to let no

bloom-s fade on the plants, for the

little seed pods escape notice more‘

easily, and a few pods maturing will

stop the blooming. The pansies hide

the seeds beneath the leaves so if the

flowers are not picked they are pretty

sum to ripen seeds, though the effect

is not so quick or thorough as with

the svveet peas. The perennial pea

will bloom for a longer time and the





,fioweis be much finer if the blooms





are kept picked off, One year when

we kept cutting considerable vine with

the flowers, they bore extra. large flow-

ers with extra long stems.——A. H.





COLLEGE PLANS A “FARMER-

ETTE’S WEEK."





MICHIGAN Farm Women’s Insti-



tute, a brand new idea in farm

gatherings in this state, is expected

to attract hundreds of Michigan farm

women to Michigan State College dur—

ing the last week of July. College oili-

cials realize that annual Farmefs’

Week must remain at base essentially

a men’s affair, although it has come.

to appeal to men and women alike,

hence the home economics department

has agreed to sponsor a sort of “Farm-

erette”, week, with men conspicuous

only because of their absence.



Few outside experts appear on the

program, but those who will speak are,

without exception, \leaders in their

fields. Edgar A. Guest,.the Michigan

poet, is one whose name appears on





the tentative program. With these _,





few exceptions, the farm women them—

selves will conduct the meetings and





deliver the talks, thus giving the meet: ..

PICKLED BEETS.





I would like a. recipe for pickling

red beets which states the amount of

beet juice, vinegar, sugar, etc., to use.

—-Mrs. C .



For sour beet pickles, boil the beets

in vinegar until thoroughly cooked.

Then pack in sterilized jars, add one

teaspoon of salt, fill the jar with the

hot vinegar, and seal. If the vinegar

is very strong, it would be well to





dilute with one part water to two-





parts vinegar. ._





» For sweet pickles, make a. syrup by





boiling four cups of sugar and two





teaspoons of mixed spices (tied in a.

cloth) with two cups of vinegar and





half a cup or water. After the syrup _

has boiled, boil the cooked beets in it, ‘





for five minutes, pack in sterilized





jars, 1111 the jars with the syrup. and '

if we letour thoughts wander to

A delicious topping for cream pie

is made by adding strawberry jam to

T here Farm W 0mm Have





OR the last two or three years it



has been impossible for us to get



away for more than a day at a.

time to take any vacation at all. How-

ever we have managed to have a one-

day vacation and this has proved just

what we needed. This is what we

have found to "do the business."





Before the time of the automobile,

we would take the prancing horses

and buggy, which had been all washed

up for the day, and start off, some-

times before the sun was hardly up.

We would ride until we felt hungry

and then would eat our breakfast by

the side of the road.





V‘Ve would take roads that we had

never been over before, and what fun

we had! The getting out and picking

flowers, romping for a few moments

on the “Old Hog’s Back,” singing

songs, taking turns at sitting on the

front seat With father and driving. We

would finally reach our destination-

the Agricultural College, as it was

then called—then the unloading of the

dinner, roaming through the campus,

admiring the lovely flowers and gar-

dens“ going through the barns and

wondering at the fine horses, cows

and all the stock, driving down the

lane and stopping to look at the river,

and last, but the most interesting to

us, going through the museum and





' feeling slightly afraid of the mon-





strous animals therein. All this and

more filled the short day. And what

a day it was! Then in the late after-

noon, weavould start for home, return-

ing by a still different road.



We have had many outings since

then, and many times we have plan'-

nod the day’s outing after this one of

the olden days. Of course, the auto-





imObile replaces the horses, but we do

hues. Top with a ball of cream cheese

and serve with puffy cream dressing,

made by beating one cup of Whipped

cream with two tablespoons of may-

onnaise. ,



Pineapples have many possibilities

as salad “timber." A slice .of this fruit





ywith a ball of cream cheese goes well





served on curly lettuce. Cubed pine-

apple combines with apples, celery,

halved grapes, and marshmellows in

proportion to one 'cup of all other ma—

terial to one cup of pineapple. Com-

bine with whipped cream or. sweet-

ened mayonnaise.



Occasionally surprise the family,

‘with pineapple Shortcake. Use any

rich biscuit dough, and cook syrup of

pineapple with sugar until thick. A

few marchino cherries

dessert appeal to the eye as well as

to the stomach.



You will find the family will also

enjoy pineappleade on warm days. To

make it, add one-quartet cup of sugar,

two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, one

quart water, to one cup of fresh diced

pineapple, using plenty of juice. Just

before serving add crushed ice. This

will make four glasses.

Vacation By Mail.





The object of taking a vacation





is to get away from the usual

routine and surroundings, which, how-

ever charming, are apt to become

monotonous if we are compelled to

spend all our time there. A vacation

should supply new thought and mate-

rial, and furnish new emotional expe-

riences. Measured by this standard,

the average vacation often falls far

short.



Realizing this, my mother and I de-

cided not to be cheated out of a va-

cation one summer, even though we

faced the prospect of spending the en-

tire season at home. We were both

interested in literature, so we decided

to take a. correspondence course deal-

ing with the short story, a subject

which appeals to both of us. We found

time nearly every afternoon for an

hour or two with our books, traveling

in imagination thousands of times as

far as the same amount of money

would have taken us on the railroad

or M-‘14, and we always got back in

time to have supper ready. We often

spent an afternoon in the library in

town, and made some interesting ac-

quaintances among people, as well as

among books. We had interesting

new topics to discuss over our work,

and when the corrected lessons began

coming back," we had something to

look forward to, at mail time. Al-

though we were unable to complete,

the course, we have felt that it ave

use real vacation, one whose benefits

have been very lasting.—-Mrs. L. R. 8.,

of Clinton. 0

FARM life has many advantages



over that of the city. First, it is

more healthful, for several reasons,

the main one being fresh air. The

,country atmosphere is not contami-

nated with the gases of the manufac

turing industry, nor with disease-pro-

duCing bacteria. Farm work is also

more healthful and more pleasant than

that of the city, because it offers 'a.

wide variety. The food, as milk, eggs,

and vegetables, is fresh and less ex-

pensive when need upon the farm.

Then there is less space and sunlight

for city children to play in. Also,

there is less work for them to do and

more places for them to form harmful

habits.





Second is independence. Although

the farmer often works fifteen hours

out of twenty-four, nevertheless he is

the most independent of workmen.

His only boss is his conscience, and

every rainy day, as well as the winter

months, leaves him practically idle.





Then there is the pleasure and near-

ness to nature. Any lover of the out-

doors must feel thankful for the priv-

‘ilege of owning a forest, where the

wild flowers bloom in the spring and

the berries hang ripe in the fall;

where the birds furnish an accompani-

ment to the song of the brook, and

1the crow gives a musical comedy, fol-

lowed by an acrobatic performance by

the .squirrel. Surely this is preferable

to a city theater.



Also, there is the satisfaction that

a. farmer has, in knowing that he is

working for himself and not for an

employer.——June Nelson.





 





AM taking it for granted that ev-

eryone admits (and most people

do) that the great open spaces,

(where, as the saying goes, men are

men, and the plumbing is terrible),

are far superior to the city as far as

health is' concerned; that it is’very

nice to be so close to nature and‘hear

:the birdies in the freezes, feel the

gentle summer breezes, smell the

flowers, feel the beezes, and watch the

green grass grow all ’round. All that

is lovely,- but that isn’t the only rea-

son why I like the farm.





I like the life of‘a farmer because

of its independence. Farming is the

most honorable profession there is.

The farmer has been called a hick, a

rube, a. hayseed, and many other pet

names. He is all of that and more,

when he goes to the city. The tur-





' moil, the ruthlessness, and the cease





less action of the metropolic bewilders





and considers what he is escaping by

living in the country, he feels mighty

thankful. He has no time-clock to

punch, no street cars interfering with

Our Letter Boil:





.,,





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



My favorite hobby is caring far

chicks. I am getting twenty-five White

Rock Chicks as a starter. It is hot

hard work to care for them, and it’s

very interesting.





I wonder how many of my cousins

visited the “Forest Fire Fighting Fly-

er?” I did, and found it contained

many objects of interest for the pre-

vention, and for fighting fires.



You’ll find my answer to the ques-

tion of the Charleston in this para.-

graph. I like old-time dances better,

as they are more fun and less stren-

uous.



When I feel I need exercise, I mount

the hill in the back of our house, and

when I get to the top, I’m so tired I

can’t take another step It. is steep

and ends almost in a point. We had a

marshmellow roast on top of it onCe

and there was just place for the fire.

We sat in a. circle around it on the

steep sides of it and could hardly

keep from rolling down. Ho,



Am inclosing a small contribution

for the Radio Fund. —Your M. C. niece

and cousin, Elsie Tousignant, Mar-

quette, Mich.



I always liked to raise chickens; it

is profitable pleasure. Hill climbing

is good exercise. That must have been

,a. great ‘ place for a marshmellow

roast. I suppose that all you had to





do to get home was to roll down hill.





 





Dear Uncle and Cousins:



In regard to the Charleston dance,

I think it is the craziest thing ever

invented. The guy that invented that

must be in an insane asylum now, and

probably was when he thought of it.

Put an angleworm down a girl’s neck,

and you can see how the Charleston is

done. —-—Edward Maxwell.



The Charleston wasn’t invented—it

was evolved. The angleworm stunt

would undoubtedly result in, a good

imitation of the Charleston. .





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



As I am an M. C. new, I will write

a letter to you and the M. 0., and

hope you all enjoy it. We have a hot

lunch club at our school, called, “The

Merry Circle. ”

soup once in a while some of the

children bring some other kind of food

to serve instead of cocoa and soup.

We think it is great fun.

and parents when they say tobacco,

Jones, Tecumseh, Mich.



I am glad to know that your Merry

Circle has had such good “times. I bet

the warm luncheons are appreciated.

I am glad you think as you do on

‘liquor, powder, etc. More beauty is

spoiled by beauty aides than are made

by them.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



Like some of the rest, I, too, miss

the letters from Harold Coles and

Herbert Estes. It can’t be helped, I

guess, since H. C. is too old, and we

surely should not blame Herbert for

taking a rest,- don’t you think, after

fighting so long for his own way?



I pity the poor city kids that don’t

get out of school ’till June, and yet,

. it worse, because half of them

'hav’en’t so much as a story book to

hide when the teacher comes walking

around.



I agree with Helen Kish about evo-

lution. It is the bunk in the Boy’s

and Girls’ Page. I bet half of those

that talk about it don’ t know anything

about it. If so, we all talk “bunk”

fo1 nothing else to say—just like me.



As for ambition, talk away. But it

will probably turn out like a fairy

story—get married and live happily

ever after. —A cousin, Helen Piper, of

Spruce, Michigan.



I agree that there are many things

we talk about, but know nothing of.

-,Poor city kids are better off in school

.than on the streets. In fact, some

people are talking about school the

year around for city children. How





does that sound to you?





Dear Uncle Frank:



In a few days, I am to be eighteen.

I have read our page so long that I

hate to become an outs1der.



Wh hy don’t you start a club for us

older ones? I am sure there are

enough of us that haven’ t gone to the

city. Here are some reasons that are

good, in my estimation



1. We have very few friends of our

own age.



2. We can never have too many

friends (of the right kind).



3 The Merry Circle is getting too

“giown- up” for the younger members.



4. Our viewpoints on diverse sub-

jects would be widened.



5. Improvement in grammar, writ-

ing, and self-confidence would be

certain.



6. It would pave the way for great-

e1 1111 211 Spirit when we are older.1



7. It Would make the Michigan

Farmer an all-around family magazine

for the youngsters, grown-ups, inter-

mediates, and us.



\Von’ t you try hard ?~—-Betty Ann.



We would like to have a club for

those above eighteen, but if we did,

it might be mistaken for a matrimon-

ial club, and. match-making is not one

of the responsibilities the Michigan

Farmer cares to take‘upon itself. For

those above eighteen we have the

household department for the girls,

and Brickbats and Bouquets for the

expression of opinion of anyone. How-

;‘eve‘r, I would be glad to get other

readers’ Opinions on this matter.





Dear Uncle Frank: .



I am one of those “once in a great

while” M. C.’s. The M. C. arguments

on our page seem to be undergoing a.

slow change. I hope it’s for the better.



I do agree with “White Amaranth. ”

We should not treat her so badly, as

some have in the past. Few people

have the talent she has. I hope she

writes again.



I admired the way you answered

“Tomboy’ s” letter in a recent issue,

Uncle Frank She should take it for

her own good. It’s queer that it took

Ariel Denton to notice our “out of

style” heading. I’m sure I never did.



I’m sending my small contribution

to the fund and will say I think that

establishing it is one of the best

things the M. C.’s ever did. One of

your great many nieces, Beatrice Hei-

beck, St. Johns.





I, too, would .like to hear from

“White Amaranth” again. She has a

talent. I would also like to hear





from “Tomboy” again. The M. C. Fund 1





is valuable because, with it the M.

70‘s are doing 'a constructive work.





 





Outcast,”





   





~‘ . “inks. $33511 ,‘had

. more com on sense ham the rest,

' and gave a number the superintendent





couldn’t very well change.

I feel real sorry for the little crip-





pled children, and I can just begin to





know what a blessing has been be-

stowed upon me, even if I have one

wrist and my hand smashed so I can-

not write as well as I should, being

my right hand, and wrist, too. —Your

niece and cousin, Matilda Hunter, Gay-





_ lord,





TheM Outcast did have a lesson in it

for both girls and boys. Often it is

not until something happens to us

that we realize our blessings.





CORRESPONDENCE SCRAMBLE.





CHOOL is out and therefore most



M. C.’s will have more time to

write. Undoubtedly many would like

to have some summer correspondents.

Therefore, we’ll make this a corres-

pondence scramble.



Most of you know how to take part

in these scrambles, but for the sake

of the new ones in our family, we'll

tell how again.



Write a letter to “Dear Unknown





Friend,” or “Dear Merry Circler."





Then address an envelope to yourself

and put ‘a stamp on it. Next, address

an envelope to Uncle Frank, Michigan

Farmer, Detroit, Michigan, and put

your letter and the envelope address-

ed to you, in this envelope. Mail it

so that it will reach the Michigan

Farmer office 011 or before June 18, as

the scramble closes then.



When we scramble these letters we

put the letter written by someone else

in your envelope, and your letter goes

in still another's envelope. So, you

will have two chances to get a cor-

respondent. If you take part in this

scramble please be sure to answer the

letter you receive, because that helps

to make the scramble more effective.



If you are over thirteen years of

age, put the letter B on the envelope

you address to me; if below thirteen,

write the letter A on the envelope.

FUND CONTRIBUTORS.





ONTRIBUTIONS were not quite so



numerous during the past week as



they have been, even though we

need quite a few nickels and dimes to

put the fund across. We now have, at

this Wiiting, $85. 48 in the fund. We

still need about $15 to reach the

amount necessary to buy that radio. I

would be greatly pleased if we could

reach our goal so that we could in-

stall the ‘radio by July fourth. The

two radios at the Howell Sanitarium

were put in as a Thanksgiving present

from the Merry Cir.cle Wouldn’t it

be nice to make this a Fourth of July

present? Please keep the nickels and

dimes coming so that we may accom-

plish this purpose.



The following have contributed from

May 28 to June 5 inclusive: Donna

Mae Haring, Jeanette Huizenge, Jun-

ior Fickle, Rolland Anderson, Mary

Why Practical Dairymen

Prefer the HINMAN MILKER





Because they know that 18 years’ practical ex-

perience has proved it to be reliable, efl'icien t, dur-

able, easy to keep clean, uniformly beneficial to ~

cows, and profitable to own.

When you look into it—study the Hinman Minter—the reasons

for that unequalled record are clear.

The Hinman used the right prmeiple at the start. An indi-

vidual vacuum pump produces the right amount of vacuum

at exactly the right number of pulsations—without the need of

complicated pulsators, vacuum gauges, vacuum tanks or‘long

pipe lines. This pump—only one moving part—is the founda-

tion of the famous Hinman simplicity which means easy

cleaning, reliable daily operat1on, and long l1'.!e

So on with the whole Hinman.

Why not find out for yourself, all the facts about

it. See wh y the Hinman has helped so many others

to get away from milking drudgery, save valuable '

time 365 days a year, and make more money.

atokr‘mcm sHE‘EP

IT is not an uncommon occurrence





have sheep attacked with bloat. Bloat

is a form of indigestion caused by ab-

normal fermentation in the stomach,

brought about usually from over-feed-

ing or too sudden change of food.

The attack usually runs its course

{very rapidly, and unless relief is ad-





to follow. Bloat in sheep generally

occurs more frequently during the

flush pasturing season .than later,

when feed becomes scant and dry.





~Last season at Forest Grove Farm

I lost one sheep and saved two from

bloat.‘ When sheep are changed from

one pasture to another, and especially

if changed from short pasture to a

clover meadow, there is some danger

of attack of bloat. In such instances

“the disease runs its course rapidly. It

'is always well to keep close watch of

the flock for a. few days when changed

from one pasture to another.



The first symptoms of bloat is a.

swelling high up in the left flank.

The animal is uneasy, keeps getting

41p. and down, and feels distressed. As

the attack progresses, breathing is dif-

ficult and the animal fails to get onto

its feet. At this stage relief must be

given or death shortly follows. Med-

icine is generally too slow to be relied

upon in the advanced stage of attack

of bloat. I have found the trocar and

‘canula a. great help in saving the life

of animals attacked with bloat.



When an animal is swelled as full





‘ as the paunch will hold, the only re-





sort left is to open the paunch at once.

On the left side, half way between the

last rib and the hip bone, the wool

should be removed and the trocar

gently pressed through the skin. As

the trocar is drawn the canula remains

to allow the gas to pass out. I have

saved a good many animals attacked

with bloat in this way. I find it a

good plan to give a. good dose of

,castor oil immediately following an

PROTECTING MILCH COWS FROM

FLIES.





 





FLIES are one of the dairyman’s



worst summer enemies. No prac-

tical means has been found to entirely

eradicate or control them. Fly repel-

lants are helpful. Some dairymen

stable their cows part of the day and

turn to pasture at night: This prac—

tice affords a. partial remedy where

heavy stable feeding is practiced, but

impracticable on the large majority of

farms where dairying is carried on as

an adjunct to the general farm oper-

ations. ‘



I have tried several means of pro-

tecting my milch cows from flies,rand

while I have been unable entirely to

control the pest, yet, I am confident

that my fight helps to keep the insect

down.

‘ manure piles and filthy places. If the





stable is cleaned frequently and the

man’urelremoved some distance, less

and keeps away the flies.



A good disinfectant used freely

about the stable will help a great deal.

, Since I have been operating a trac-

tor I have a great deal of waste crank-

case oil on hand. For the past two

years I have been using this oil on my

cows to keep the flies away, and I

find it effective. I apply it carefully

with a swab made by winding some

cloth on the end of a stick. This oil

is rather a grease, will stick, and keep

the flies away. I have not as yet ob-

CONDUCTED BY DR. S. BURROWS.





 

 





 





Cracked Bag.—-Several of my regis-

tered heifers which will freshen soon,

have cracked bags. If I rubbed the

bags with raw linseed oil before they

freshen, would the cows be injured?

I treated two grades in that way with

seemingly good results. How can a

hard-milking cow be made easier to

milk when the sphincter muscle is too

strong? S. F.—-—Ray linseed oil

would be good to use, and is not injur-

ious. Zinc oxide Ointment is also

good. The teat could be dilated by

inserting a. teat plug after each milk-

ing, or a dilator co (1 be used. They

should be boiled b ore using, and the

end of the teat cleaned so as to pre-

vent infection.





Paralysis.—My cow, which freshen-

ed four weeks ago, was all right fer

about ten days, and then her head and

neck swelled. She seemed cold and

it was hard for her to breathe. We

gave her nux vomica and put a mus-

tard plaster over her lungs. In about

five hours she seemed all right. About

two weeks later she started to stiffen

in the hind part. We gave her turpen-

tine, which did not help her. We gave

her belladonna and that did not help.





. She lost control of herself and could





not get up. She is in that condition

now. She can roll over, though. She

eats and drinks well, and her kidneys

and bowels seem all right. We gave

her a. dram of nux vomica in a pint

of water three times a day, and that

fails to help. She seems bright and

her hair lays perfectly smooth. She

gives about twelve quarts of milk a

day. R. H. S.—Cases of this kind re-

quire stimulants, such as fluid extract

of nux vomica, one dram in a. little

water every three or four hours. Lin-

iment, such as two ounces each of

turpentine and ammonia, and cotton-

seed oil to make one pint should be

rubbed along the spine and hind quar-

ters. Vaginal injections of hot water

two or three times daily are helpful.

Dissolve one ounce of potassium io-

dide in a pint of water, and give one

ounce three times daily.





Sore Shoulders.—-I have a mare sev-

en years old which I bought in the

fall of 1924. The following spring I

bought a half-sweeney collar. While

working-on the farm and wearing this

collar, the mare developed a very sore

shoulder, which kept getting worse all

summer, although I bathed it with

salt water and put on an appliance

which held the collar off the top of

the neck, which also had a. crack

which would not heal. Could you ad-

vise me what to do to avoid this? I

do not wish to throw the collars away,

as collars are expensiVe and experi-

ment with others. Before buying the

horses they wore adjustable collars.

J. A. B.——-If the neck and shoulders

are in good shape at this time, it

would be advisable to get a collar that

[its properly before commencing the

spring work. By doing this, and bath-

ing the shoulders at night with salt'

and water, you would probably not

have the same trouble again. Medi-





 





cines are of little value, if poorly lit-,4“

WHEAT





Passing of the May delivery was

featured by a sharp decline in cash

wheat prices, which stimulated both

milling. and export demand. This im-

proved demand, together with less

favorable crop news from the south-

west, has caused a partial recovery.

The tendency to clean up stocks of

wheat in order to take advantage of

prices prevailing in May has left the

owners of remaining supplies in a





at $22;





favorable position. Holdings are small .





everywhere and new wheat will not

be abundant for another month. The

crop picture is subject to such quick

changes that it is diflicult to follow.

Drouth and. high temperatures have

done great damage to the Kansas and

Nebraska crops, but some rain has

been received. Neither the extent of

the preceding damage, nor the prob-

able recovery as a result of these

rains or others which may arr1ve, can

be stated in precise terms:





RYE





Rye has been featureless, with a

small decrease in the visible supply

and occasional export sales counter-

balanced by the remaining ample Vis-

ible and some improvement in the

crop prospect.





CORN





After declining to a new low level

for the season, corn prices have ral-

lied. Sales by producers have 1n-

creased, as is usual after planting is

out of the way, but receipts have not

been especially heavy for this season.





' When the present movement'is out of





the way, receipts are likely to remain

light until late summer. Demand is

not aggressive, although some buyers

have taken advantage of the increas-

ed offerings to provide for later needs.





-A little export business to Mexico and





Cuba is reported but Argentina is fill-

ing up European and Canadian mar-





kets.

OATS





The oats market has been listless at

prices not far from the lowest on the

crop. Stocks at terminals are not dis-

appearing rapidly, receipts have been

and demand lacks





zest. The southwest is being supplied





' from the new crop harvest at a. big

Cutters IIIOlOCOOOIOOOol-O"'





year. The .crop condition is more fav-

orable than at this time in 1925, how-

ever. ,





SEEDS





Seasonal dullness prevails in the

seed market. The spring demand for

clover held up unusually late, due to

the backward season, and stocks have

been closely cleaned up. The carry-

over of most seeds is small so that an

unfavorable crop season would result

in a strong market next fall.





FEEDS





The feed market steadied slightly

after the ’decline which started early

in May, but has sagged off again. De-

mand for feed in small lots for im-

mediate shipment has improved some-

what, and some dealers are taking on

their supplies of summer feeds, but,

on the whole, trade is not sufficiently

active to steady the market.





BEANS





The bean market is unchanged, with

C. H. P. whites quoted at $4.25 per

100 pounds, f. o. b. Michigan shipping

points. Planting of the new crop has

started and the bulk of the acreage

will be in by the middle of June.- It

is believed that the acreage will again

be large in spite of the unsatisfactory

market since the first of the year.





'- POTATOES





Supplies of potatoes have been more

liberal than was generally expected,

and the market on new stock particu-

larly is unsettled. The movement of

new potatoes is steadily increasing as

it moves northward, and prices are

not likely to strengthen materially.

Northern round whites, U. S. ,No. 1,

are quoted higher at $3@3.25 per 100

pounds, sacked, in the Chicago carlot

market. Southern Bliss Triumphs, U.

S. No. 1, are held at $4.50@4.75 per

100 pounds, sacked, in the same mar-

ket. -





EGGS





The fresh egg market continues un-

changed at the level which has pre-

vailed for so many weeks. Receipts

are gradually declining from week to

week, but are relatively heavy for this

season of the year.





Since the first of‘





\





.May, receipts ,at the leading markets





have been ‘la‘ ger than in the corres-

ponding mont last ye r, although for

the first five months; ey haveubeen

less than in 1925. Eggs have been ac-

cumulated in storage recently more

rapidly than last season, and "the

shortage at the large markets on May

1 of more than half‘a million cases

has been reduced. forty per cent dur-

ing the past month. The average qual-

ity of the eggs marketed during May

was the highest in years as a result

offlthe cool weather.

hot weather would limit the supply of

fancy eggs and send prices upward.





Chicagoa—Eggs, fresh~ firsts 28%@

29c; ordinary firsts 27@28%c; miscel-

laneous 280; dirities 25%@26%c;

checks 25@260. Live poultry, hens at

graded 29@30%c. Live poultry, broil-

ers 48@49c; heavy hens 29@300; light

hens 28@29c; ducks 32@33c.





WOOL





Buying the new clip continues at a

slow pace with much more of it in





 





A quick turn to-





first hands than usual at this season.-





Manufacturers are - not accumulating

raw material freely, owing to the slow

demand for goods, and dealers are un-

willing to buy vigorously without more

encouragement from the mills. Prices

have been relatively stable, and the

statistical position is so strong that a

further decline is doubtful in spite of

the slow demand. In the far west,

buying proceeds slowly with scattered

sales of Oregon wools reported at 310;

Utah wools at 320, and Montana

wools at 3533c. Michigan wools have

brought as much as 37c, and Ohio

wools as high as 40c, but the trading

basis at country points in these states

is around 35@36c.





BUTTER





Butter production is increasing rap-

idly in spite of the backward ,season,

and the outlook for a heavy summer

make is promising. Receipts at the

leading markets last week were 20

per cent larger than the correspond-

ing Week last year, but prices remain-

ed steady in spite of the heavier sup-

ply. _The percentage of full grass but-

they are willing to store butter at the

current level, prices will hold fairly

HORSESHOES IN GREAT DEMAND.





SUDDEN increase in the demand



for horseshoesin lapeer county

has resulted’from the inauguration of

a well-organized horseshoe-pitching

tournament. The undertaking is being

sponsored by the business men of La-

peer, who have provided pitching

courts within less than a block of the

buisness section of the city. Numer-

ous prises have been oflered and, best

of all, farmers all over the county are

astir; specially those who, some time

in the past, have flipped a “ringer.”\

Although the plans provide for pitch-

ing by the juniors, a few farmers are

reported to have arranged with the

boys to look after the farm work on

a certain day, since important matters

require the presence of the fathers ini

town. The boys later discover that

“the certain day” is the time set for

opening the pitching courts.
