In Planning Farm Buildings~ n Pencil, Rule and Piece of Paper flre Me Tools to Me

By D. G. Carter





HE best suggestion ever made



to assist farmers in getting bet-



ter buildings, is the advice,

f‘Build the barn on paper first. ” This

suggestion applies not only to barns,

{but to every building on the farm. The

farm buildings not only afford a home

.for the farmer and his family, but

they make up the factory in which the

farm products are finished.





Manufacturers know that to turn out

a product in quantity, economically

and efficiently, they must provide fac-

tory buildings that are well arranged,

'clean, light substantial, and suited to

the purpose intended. So, many farm-

,ers know that their barns, storage

buildings, hog houses, and feeding

rsheds must have certain features to

make them satisfactory. Farm build-

’ings, especially barns, are factories

‘where human food is produced. Faulty

‘buildings can never produce the high-

(est quality of products. Farm oper-

.’ators spend several hours of every

day in the buildings. Poor arrange-

}ment means lost motion, extra labor,

:and wasted time. Valuable live stock

and feed crops are housed and shel-

,tered in the farm buildings; this

means that they must be clean, health-

Iiul, and substantial.





‘, Indeed, it would be difficult in so

short a space of time, even to make a

list of all the necessary features that

should be considered. There is the

Iprpblem of materials, whether of wood,

lstone, brick, tile, or concrete. Then

gtheie is fire protection to reduce the

many millions of yearly loss. Or there

.is rat-proofing, for the federal govern-

{ment tells us that every rat eats or

‘ pathized Henry Lee, with grave voice

George in puzzlement. Then, “Oh, you

. This

heat‘is enough discomfort for any





every year. There is the question of

how large to build. This answer-de-

pends on the farming system, size of

farm, financial conditions, and person-

al desire. These are major problems.

There is a whole flock of building

problems related to light; ventilation;

sizes of pens, stalls, and alleys; ar-

rangement ,of the stock, and proper

use of space. Complicating these‘ques-

tions, is the fact that economy must

always be considered if a profit is to

be made on the investment. Every

barn or other farm building is a spe-

cial problem, for each one of you

have different conditions of location,





{who have already built,





size of herds, crops raised, and the

like.

How shall we then, with the large





_number of points to be considered,





secure the best and most convenient

buildings? First, plan on paper be-

fore the building is put up; second,

use the combined experience of those

and, third,

adapt plans to your special conditions

but use those features that have been

well standardized.



Planning on paper first is not so

very difficult. A farmer, carpenter, or

school boy, provided with a table, pen-

cil, and a rule, or a set of drawing in-

Charlie Norris, over on the other side

of the county, says they haven’t had

any rain for nigh on two weeks and

he’s got around thirty odd cows he’s

“What’s he got for pasture?” inter-

rupted George Collins. ”Oh, he’s got

June grass. That stuff looks mighty

fine when there’s plenty of rain. What

is it the song writers say about it,

‘green velvet carpet on~ the earth,’ or

somethin’ like that?”





“Make’s a different picture in Aug-

ust, though,” Henry Lee pulled off a

“cow’s breakfast” hat, mopped his





brow with a red bandanna. and con-_

_ tinued, “Whewll Reckon a fellow orter'

be by noon?”



“Well,,more’n likely the same as all

the noons we’ve had for the past two

weeks—-—ninety-eight in the shade. See

you’ve only got a few cans of milk

this morning, George.” Lee nodded

toward his neighbor's truck. “What’s

the trouble? Well gone dry, or the

cows?”



“Both, I reckon,” admitted Collins

ruefully. “Leastwise, I’m in the same

boat as Charlie Norris you mentioned

with them thirty odd cows. Got noth-

in’ but June grass and not much of

that, for pasture.” “That’s tough,”

sympathized Henry, "A poor cow

would have to walk twenty miles a

day, and have a muzzle on her twenty-

four inches wide, and chew her cud

twenty-eight hours a. day"to get

enough June grass to keep herself

alive, these days, much less give half

a. pail of milk._ ”



George Collins seemed a bit per-

plexed, but grinned as he replied,

“Well, I'll take your word for it them

struments, can accomplish much in

planning. Incidentally, he can learn

a lot about construction.





The experience of others can be

found in books on buildings, in maga-

zines and farm papers and, perhaps

best of all, at your state agricultural .

college. Almost every state agricul-

tural college has made a large number

of building plans available. Their

plan service is either given free or at

a nominal cost. ,



Even though most plans have to be

specialized to a certain extent, there

are some factors that have been pret-





‘ty definitely settled and can be includ-





ed in the plan. For example, we know

that there are just about three types

of roof construction used on modern

barns; they are the plank truss, brac—

ed rafter, and Gothic arch. The hay

loft in the barn can be built free of

posts and obstructing braces. We

know that most barns should be thir-

ty—four or thirty-six feet wide; win-

dows must be included in every live

stock building, with about four square

feet of glass for each cow or horse.

Cows, horses, and hogs of average

size require a iather definite amount

of space.



The information available from

architects, engineers, state colleges, or

farm publications, plus your own good

judgment, should produce the best

possible plan for you. At best, these

brief suggestions can only convey this

idea: “Plan the building on paper

first.” The well-planned building is

noticeable wherever it is, but aside

from its attractiveness, it will stand

for years as a tribute to the good judg-

ment of its owner.

“Oh, they’re absolutely correct,” Lee

assured him gravely. “I worked ’em

critters. But speakin’ of energy, my

cows are using a sight of it to fight

flies.” And he took a wallop at one

of the buzzing pests in the act of drill-

I’ings, especially barns, are factories

every year. There is the question of





how large to build. This answer-de-





pends on the farming system, size of

farm, financial conditions, and person-

al desire. These are major problems.

There is a whole flock of building

problems related to light; ventilation;

sizes of pens, stalls, and alleys; ar-

rangement of the stock, and proper

use of space. Complicating these ques-

tions, is the fact that economy must

always be considered if a profit is to

be made on the investment. Every

barn or other farm building is a spe—

cial problem, for each one of you

have different conditions of location,





who have already built,





size of herds, crops raised, and the

like.



How shall we then, with the large

number of points to be considered,

secure the best and most convenient

buildings? First, plan on paper be-

fore the building is put up; second,

use the combined experience of those

and, third,

adapt plans to your special conditions

but use those features that have been

well standardized.



Planning on paper first is not so

very difficult. A farmer, carpenter, or

school boy, provided with a table, pen-

cil, and a rule, or a set of drawing in-

weather man treats us all alike.

Charlie Norris, over on the other side

of the county, says they haven’t had

any rain for nigh on two weeks and

he’s got around thirty odd cows he’s

milkin’ steady, and several due to

freshen. Says he don’t know what

he’s goin’ to feed ’em—pastures all

burnt up, no silage, no hay, and the

cows starvin’ for something green and

cool.”





“What’s he got for pasture?” inter-

rupted George Collins. "Oh, he’s got

June grass. That stuff looks mighty

fine when there’s plenty of rain. What

is it the, song writers say about it,

‘green velvet carpet on the earth,’ or

somethin’ like that?”



“Make’s a different .picture in Aug-

ust, though.” Henry Lee pulled off a

“cow’s breakfast” hat, mopped his





brow with a red bandanna, and con-1

. tinned, “Whew! Reckon a fellow orter_

be by noon?”



“Well,,more’n likely the same as all

the noons we’ve had for the past two

weeks—ninety-eight in the shade. See

you’ve only got a few cans of milk

this morning, George.” Lee nodded

toward his neighbor’s truck. “What’s

the trouble? Well gone dry, or the

cows?”



“Both, I reckon,” admitted Collins

ruefully. “Leastwise, I’m in the same

beat as Charlie Norris you mentioned

with them thirty odd cows. Got noth-

in' but June grass and not much of

that, for pasture.” “That’s tough,”

sympathized Henry, “A poor cow

would have to walk twenty miles a

day, and have a muzzle on her twenty-

four inches wide, and chew her cud

twenty-eight hours a day,'to get

enough June grass to keep herself

alive, these days, much less give half

a pail of milk ”

plexed, .but grinned as he replied,

struments, can accomplish much in

planning. Incidentally, he can learn

a lot about construction.





The experience of others can be

found in books on buildings, in maga-

zines and farm papers and, perhaps

best of all, at your state agricultural .

college. Almost every state agricul-

tural college has made a large number

of building plans available. Their

plan service is either given free or at

a nominal cost.





Even though most plans have to be

specialized to a certain extent, there

are some factors that have been pret-





ed in the plan. For example, we know

that there are just about three types

of roof construction used on modern

barns; they are the plank truss, brac-

ed rafter, and Gothic arch. The hay

loft in the barn can be built free of

posts and obstructing braces. We

know that most barns should be thir-

ty-four or thirty-six feet wide; win-

dows must be included in every live

stock building, with about four square

feet of glass for each cow or horse.

Cows, horses, and hogs of average

size require a iather definite amount

of space.





The information available from

architects, engineers, state colleges, or

farm publications, plus your own good

judgment, should produce the best

possible plan for you. At best, these

brief suggestions can only convey this

idea: “Plan the building on paper

first.” The well-planned building is

noticeable wherever it is, but aside

from its attractiveness, it will stand

for years as a tribute to the good judg-

ment of its owner.

“Oh, they’re absolutely correct,” Lee

assured him gravely. “I worked ’em

of the buzzing pests in the act of drill-

Plan For nent organization

3. D . plans for the 1926 ses-

lg any sion of the National

Show D a i r y Exposition





were agreed upon.

and Professor Reed, of the Michigan

State College, was made chairman of

the local administration committee.

This show, the last that is to be held

away from its permanent home in Chi-

cago, is planned for Detroit the first

week in October.





There .are good reasons why ev.ery

producer and consumer of dairy prod-

ucts should become interested imme-

diately in this event. The National

Dairy Show is an educational institu-

tion. It is adapted to every grade of

students, from the layman to the pro-

fessional. No matter how poorly one

may be informed on the greatest sin-

gle branch of American agriculture,

he will find much profit in .attending

this great exposition. On the other

hand. all dairy students and leaders

are already planning on spending the

greatest possible amount of time in

Detroit at that time. 4 .



Then, as. said above, this isthe' only

and last time that this show can be

enjoyed in Michigan. It will never be

easier for Michigan people to attend.

Forthis reason alone, the folks of

this state should definitely plan their

work and trips to take advantage of

the event.





A third reason why Michigan people

@hould become specially interested in

the National Dairy Show is that this

institution has the reputation of pro-

.moting dairy efficiency in every state

where it has been held. This year

Michigan people will be real benefac-

“tow': The thing to do is to place‘ our-l

three months, instead of merely say-

ing “good morning” to those you

meet, say “Good Morning, are you

Every per-

son who will persistently talk on this

subject until the last day of the show,

can well be classed as a public bene-

factor. Individually andmollectively,

the 1926 session of the National Dairy

Exposition will prove a great blessing

to Michigan farmers and consumers if

we begin now to promote interest

in it.





 





REAL progress has





why Not been made in the

culling of poultry



Sheep flocks. The average

Culling? production on farms





where culling has

been followed, has increased material~

Iy. It has advanced to a point where

the business of producing poultry and

eggs has become economically profit-

able.



The same is true of culling cows.

The testing associations in this state

have proven a wonderfully efficient

agency in getting rid of the cows that

eat pocketbooks instead of filling

them. Herds that once were liabili-

ites have become the chief income pro-

ducers of real progressive farmers.



Now, would not a little cleaning up

of the flocks of sheep over the state

he a fine thing? Truly, we have been

inclined to hang on to any old sheep

because the sheep business relatively

has been on a satisfactory basis. .But

those who have taken a broad view of

the situation do not think such condi—

tions will always continue. Other

countries are building more and larg.

er flocks.



If this be true, is this not the logical

time to start developing better flocks

in Michigan? We have a hunch that

a wonderfully fine piece of work be-

tween the owners of sheep, the Mich-

igan State College and the extension

forces could be worked out. We

should like to see a state-wide cam-

paign of this character put on. It

need not be costly. and it would be

mighty interesting.





T is interesting to





The learn that recently



R dS'd a state road-side

0a " l e stand organization has

Market been formed. A few





years ago, road-side

stands were non-existent. "There was

then no occasion for their being. But

now, when the week-ends and vaca-

tions of our millions of urban people

are spent on the country roads, the

road-side stand has developed as a

matter of necessity, for they serve as

a convenient means for trade and bar-

ter between the city folks and the

farmer.



The city people are always looking

for opportunity to buy their food prod-

ucts as fresh as possible, and there is

nothing more satisfying to the farmer

than to sell his produce direct to the

consumer. The road-side stand, there-

fore, affords the finest means possible

for direct producer-consumer transac

tions.



In the development of every good

thing, unscrupulous ones take advan~

tage. In the growth of the road-side

stands, non-producers have put up

stands in advantageous places to sell

inferior products. They have prac-

ticed dishonesty, which has made the

traveling public wary of all road-side

stands.‘



Some farmers have objected to any

supervision of the road market's under

the delusion that such supervision in-





_ terfered with their freedom, added to





public expense, and created more po-

litical jobs. However, our economic





 





" history shows that no worth while





thing has developed, in which the'pub-j





\





read-side market supervisio. " '

the present state employee can, do. the

work without additional expense.



The elimination of non-producers





.from this business is necesw’ry in‘





order to maintain a high standard for

operating the stands. The mainte-

nance of such a. standard will react to

the benefit of legitimate stand owners.

ESpecially in this state, where tourist

traffic is heavy and the products

grown are the kind that appeal to the

traveling public, do we have a. great

opportunity to develop the road-side

market to such a. point of efficiency





that it will become a. great asset to__





the state and to farmers individually.

Automobile travel is bringing the

markets to our doors." This affords. a.

real opportunity which we should han-

dle with judgment and efficiency in

order that we may make the most of

the opportunity -

Health vigor of the rural

M child is of vital inter-



cans est to all. It becomes

Wealth even more interest-





ing in the light of

statistics given by Dr. R. W. Dunlap,

assistant secretary of agriculture;

which prove that the farms of the

middle west are literally the breeding

grounds of the nation.



Speaking before the American

Health Congress at Atlantic City re-

Cently, he said, “The farms of the

United States produce every year

from a third to a half million more

children than is necessary to main-

tain the rural population. These extra

hundred thousands are sent to the

cities every year, and the, people left

behind on the farm must proceed to

do their double task of feeding the

cities both food and new blood. The

future of the cities of the United

States seems eventually to lie in the

quality of the blood sent them from

the farms. The native-born in the

cities are not producing enough chil-

dren to maintain themselves. They

are being replaced by the children of

foreign-born parents and the children

of farms. Our greatest wealth is in

the children of the next generation.

The blood and education with which

they are equipped determines in the

long run, whether our civilization is

going up or down."



It has been stated that the country

boy or girl has a life expectancy

from six to seven years more than

the city child. Yet his hazards from

diseases are greater than the city

child’s. Whooping cough, smallpox,

influenza, typhoid fever, and malaria

annually cause a larger number of

deaths in rural districts than in cities.

In. the case Of malaria, the high death

rate is primarily due to the fact that

practically all the malaria breeding

areas are in rural districts.



In view of this, it behooves every

community to carefully consider its

health condition, especially at this

season of the year. And, too, there is

occasion for every individual to sum

up his chances for health—his chances

for getting the most that this life has

to offer.





N supplying data



and opinions for

use in the present de-

bate in congress on

the farm relief meas-

ures, Dr. G. F. War-

ren, of Cornell University, a leading

agricultural economist of the'country,

gave some opinions that shouldvbe re-

ceived graciously by those who are

wondering about the future of farming

in America. /



In answering the question as to

whether improved agricultural condi-

tions would result in an immediate

over-production of farm products, Dr.

Warren replied: “If conditions for

farmers should at once he decidedly

will be. I believe that if an improve—





ment should occur in the agricultural





situation at the present time, that at

first it would merely check the rate

of decline in agriculture. It would be

some years, I believe, before the ac-

tual increase in total production would

occur. If the agricultural depression

continues, a very serious period of

high living costs is inevitable.”



This man, whosekeen mind has

sought every scrap of information

bearing upon the agricultural situa-

tion, foresees a time when farm prod

ucts will be scarce, when the farmer

will again have a real chance in his

relation to other interests.

PLEASURE is somethin’ you never

ject was chosen. ‘ .



At a second meeting of the Rotary

Club the plan was presented and the

, men agreed so far as possible, to each

secure a boy to join the potato club.

Each of sixteen succeeded in getting

a member. The next step was to in-

rvite in the boys and their fathers to

,have dinner with the Rotary Club. At

this meeting, the boys were signed up

as potato club members and given in-

structions relative to their work.



The duty of the Rotary Club, how-

ever, does not stop ‘here, as each R0-

tarian who secured a club member

agrees to work with this boy through—

out the crop year.



Eighty bushels of Certified Russet

Rural seed potatoes were secured for

the sixteen boys and will be treated

for scab and black scurf and distrib-

uted by the Rotary Club. Each boy

receives five bushels, which is suffi-

cient for his quarter-acre plot.



The Rotary Club pays for half the

seed and the boys for half; each boy

to return WM and one-half bushels to

the Rotary Club next fall, which will

be used the next spring to start other

boys in club work.

you’re driving a horse or

chauffeuring a tractor. And

you know that, in spite of

yourself, power suggests

goodness—a well—trained

mechanism in either animal

or machine.





And there’s no chance for

deception. Power is a re-

sult. You can feel it, see it,

measure it. There’d be no

point in telling you to ex-

pect more power from Hav-

the Havoline story. Try the

carrying you along. And that

answers every oil question ‘

minimum friction, therefore

minimum wear and tear.

TH E JUNE GARDEN.





l, T is not too late to make a garden



even now, or if one has part of his

garden into radishes, lettuce, onions,

lbeets, spinach, carrots, etc., he will

have time enough to plant some other

crops.



Sweet corn can be planted now.

Golden Bantam is a standard early

variety, while Country Gentleman

comes on a little later, and then is

‘fOllowed by Stowell’s Evergreen.



Beans may be planted. One can

plant them either in rows or in hills.

The rows should be two feet apart in

the small garden—and a little further

if horse cultivation is used. There are

many types and varieties—wax beans,

stringless green pod, lima beans, bush

beans, etc. One may make plantings

every two weeks and have a succes-

sion of crops.



Tomatoes should be planted outside,

if not already planted. Try to obtain

plants that have been transplanted a

lcouple of times as they have much

better root systems and produce much

better yields. Earliana, John Baer,

Ponderosa, Stone and Early Detroit

are all good.



Peppers should be transplanted this

month also—one dozen plants should

produce enough for the average

family.



Eggplant is not so popular as some

of the other crops, but makes for a

change in the vegetables for the table.



Cucumbers should be sown after the

ground is well warmed up. A forkful

.Of well-rotted manure in the bottom

(of the hole, coveredwith dirt, and

Ithen planting the seeds six to ten in

a hill is advisable. Thin out to three

{to four plants when plants get second

{pair of leaves.



Muskmelons, watermelons, squash,

pumpkins, should all be planted about

the same time as cucumbers, and re-

quire about the same kind of care. Do

:not plant too close to each other as

they may cross pollinate.



Be sure to keep the weeds down,

and the garden well cultivated to con-

serve moisture. .





Potatoes and tomat'oes should be

{sprayed with Bordeaux mixture and a

poison spray, such as arsenate of lead

pr Paris green.



It is not too late to receive some of

the benefits of a, home garden. Get

busy.





T0 REGULATE ROAD-SIDE

STANDS.





PON the request of the Berrien



County Horticultural Society, Wm.

H. Esslinger, of the State Bureau of

Foods and Standards, made an inves-

tigation of the road-side markets.



It was found that this particular

(phase of marketing has grown togreat

proportions during the past three

{years It therefore, needs regulation,

as many unscrupulous people can en-

'gage in it and do harm to the reputa-

tion of Michigan. People who patron-

ize the road-side stands are visitors

from out of the state. If they are not

treated fairly they will gain a bad im-

pression of the state. If only high

quality Michigan products are sold to

them, they will spread the news of

quality in Michigan products.



Because of the contact the road-side

stands have with visitors, it is neces

sary that they be supervised. To con-

sider this, a meeting "was called at

Benton Harbor, June 3, at which a

new organization known as the Mich-

igan Road-side Market Organization,

was created. Mr. Chris Henderson, on





 





M~17 near Paw Paw, was elected pres-





 





south of St. Joseph, seeretary. An

advisory board consisting of H. D.

Hootman, of Lansing; H. ‘Gowdy, of

'Union Pier; H. Lurkins, of Paw Paw,

and Edward House, of Saugatuck, was

also elected.



The State Department of Agricul-

ture will enforce all laws and regula-

tions under which road-side stands

come. ’No new laws are "necessary,

nor are new enforcement officers re-

quired. ‘



Another meeting will be held in the

near future which, it is hoped, every

road-side stand operator in the state

will attend. Prominent men will tell

the operators how important their





business is as a market outlet, and . ‘





why it is Michigan’s best advertising

medium.





HOW SULPHUR STICKS.





UST how well sulphur sticks to the



foliage of apple trees when applied

in dust and spray mixtures for the

control of scab, has been the subject

of recent investigations by chemists

at the State Agricultural Experiment

Station at Geneva. The results of the

tests are of special interest to fruit

growers because of the fact that no

matter how well the fungicide may be

spread over the surface of the foliage,

it is of little or no value unless it

sticks long enough to destroy the dis-

ease organisms and give effectual con-

trol.



The sticking properties Of sulphur

applied as lime-sulphur spray, with

and without a “spreader” of calcium

caseinate, and as a dust, were com—

pared in a large commercial apple or

chard near the station grounds. It

was discovered that from eighty-nine

to ninety~four per cent of the sulphur

applied as dust was lost from the fol-

iage during the‘first week.



In the case of lime-sulphur spray,

the loss varied from forty-five to sev-

enty-five without a “spreader,” and

from thirty to fifty—seven per cent

where a “spreader” was used. The

beneficial effect of the “spreader” in

checking mechanical loss of the sul-

phur did not seem to extend beyond-

the first week, it is said.





From, the results of these tests, and

in View of. the way in which sulphur

is believed to behave as a fungicide,

it is thought that the beneficial prop-

erties of sulphur increase in propor-

tion to the fineness of the particles at

the time that they are deposited on

the foliage.





THE SMALL FRUITS OF NEW

YORK.





HE Small Fruits of New 'York, by



U. P. Hedrick, the seventh in the

series of monographs on the hardy

fruits, published by the State Agricul-

tural Experiment Station, at Geneva,

New York, is now ready for distribu-

tion.



The fruits discussed are the rasp-

berry, blackberry, dewberry, currant,

gooseberry, and strawberry. Descrip-

tions are given of 708 varieties of rasp-

berries, 193 varieties of blackberries,

forty-eight varieties of dewberries, 183

varieties of currants, 244 varieties of

gooseberries, and 1,362 varieties of

strawberries. These descriptions show

the outstanding varieties valuable for

home and market, new kinds of mark-

ed promise, as well as varieties of

proved value in breeding.



The state comptroller has ruled that

this volume must be sold at cost,

$7.50. Checks or money orders should

be made payable to the New York

State, Agricultural Experiment Sta-

tion, and remittanCe Should a com

DRAINING THE CRANKQASE.





 





HE crankcase of most engines can



be drained by removing the plug

in the lower half, or oil reservoir, of

the case. A large pail should be piac-

ed under the case before the oil is

removed. The proper time to drain

the case is just after a run, with the

engine warm and the oil thinned by

the heat and thoroughly agitated. This

will carry most of the sediment, all

that you can reasonably expect to

drain.~ Each time the oil is drained,

remove the oil screen and thoroughly

clean it in gasoline or kerosene. Do

not flush the case with gerosene. One

of the principal reasons for draining

is to get rid of the badly diluted oil.

With certain lubricating systems, the

kerosene cannot be completely drain-

ed from the case, and in such in-

stances it remains to dilute the fresh

oil. In other instances the use of ker-

ERE it is—a comprehensive tire choice

created distinctly for the farmer.





The sole object: to save you money!





Every Goodrich division has collaborated—

research, finance, production and distribution.»





First, we lowered factory expenses and pro-

duction costs by eliminating the manufacture of

all classes of pneumatic tires except cords—and

passed the savings on to you in lower prices!





Next, we built four distinct types of super-

strong, super—wearing cord tires, each for a

specific class of transportation service.



Then, we established four different price

levels on the Goodrich Super—Strong Four, eno

abling you to ride on Goodrich Quality at a

price that you can easily pay.



Now the net result to you is precisely this:

A longer-running, more dependable tire at a

price less than you have been accustomed to

paying for standard quality.



If you are set on cutting down expenses,

you’ll ride on Goodrich!

aonnen LINE TREE.





 





There is a row of willow trees along

the line fence between my neighbor





and me, on my side of the'fence. Can





my neighbor compel me to cut the





branches that grow out over his side?





After a Windstorm can he compel me

to: pick up the brush that has fallen

on his side and scattered over his

field?—Q. F.





Yes, if the branches are not remov-

ed upon request the neighbor may re-

move them himself. We are not aware

of any decision holding a person liable

for branches falling from his trees

upon the land of his neighbog.





TO TAKE‘POSSESSION.

A farm was bought on contract. The





contract specified that the purchaser

would have six months grace to make





 





‘up his payments after they were due.





Will the seller be able to take pos-

session immediately after six months

has expired?——F. C.



Possession could not be taken with-

out judicial proceedings if the land is





,in the actual possession and occupa-

tion of the purchaser, and such pro-





ceedings would require about two

months—Rood. . \ -





RESPONSIBILITY FOR CUTTING

FENCE.





 





Who is liable for damage caused by

the cutting of a wire fence foritraflic

on account of drifted roads in winter?

0n the opposite side of the road is a.

high hedge, and bushes grown nearly

to the center of the road. We have

asked the highway commissioner to

compegl owner to have the hedge out.





We are not aware of any remedy

for such a case. It would seem that

the highway commissioner should pay

it without question as a part of the

highway maintenance; but it is‘ not

believed that such payment can be

compelled. The highway commission-

er cannot compel the owner to trim

'the hedge. There is a statute provid-

ing that the highway commissioner

shall cut the brush within the high—

way. Public Acts (1919) No. 83.—

HORSE PU LLING CONTEST.





 





HE committee in charge of the



horse dynamometer for the Upper

Peninsula. Fairs, have announced the

following dates for this fall:



Gogebic county, Sept. 2-3; Iron coun-

ty, Sept. 5-6; Marquette county, Sept.

9-10; Luce county, Sept 14-15; Delta

county, Sept. 16-17; Schoolcraft coun-

ty, Sept 23-24.



The contracts for these fairs have

all been signed. Inasmuch as this is

the first year the Upper Peninsula has

had an opportunity to see this ma

chine in action, a great deal of rivalry

is looked for. Farmers, loggers, and

others are already grooming their

teams for the contests this fall.





COW TESTERS' MEETING.





 





HE annual meeting of the Upper



Peninsula Cow Testers’ Associa-

tion was held at Escanaba on May 28.

All testers were present except two.

In addition to the testers, those at-

tending the sessions we-ré A. C. Balt-

zer, of Michigan State College; J. R.

Parker, Dairy Specialist, U. S. Depart--

ment of Agriculture, Washington, D.

C., and other extension men working

in the Upper Peninsula.



One feature of the meeting was that

each tester was prepared with a talk

concerning problems in his associa~

tion. These were very interesting to

everyone, and as Mr. Wells points out,

some very good talent was discovered

that could be used at farmers" meet--

ings when cow testing or feeding is

discussed.





RESORT PROPERTY IN UPPER

PENINSULA MOVING. '





 





TRACT of 12,000 acres in Mack-

, inac county, between Brevort

_ what the speaker said?





 

 

 





, “All they’ re gettin on that creek





bank wouldn’t make a sonare meal for

a sparrow, George. I know, ’cause

that same creek cuts through my low-

er forty, and as to bein’ a creek now,

it's nothin’ but a trickle. Couple years

ago, my cows usedxto pasture on the





- few spears along the bank, and One

in the ooze that we had to help her

Saw a real nice blade 0’ grass

just beyond the reach of her tongue,

I- reckon, and after hunting for it all





‘day and bein’ about ready to give up





the search in despair, she probably

got so excited at seein’ it she over-

reached herself and slithered in.’



“You don’ t think much 0’ that creek

bank, do you, _Henry?” chuckled Col-

lins.





"No, George, I don’t. And not so





' much of June grass for hot weather

’ pasture, either.





I tell you my sweet

clover is—”



“Yes,” broke in George, “I was just

goin’ to ask you about that patch of

sweet clover of yours.”





“It’s great stuff,” and 'Henry was'





launched on an enthusiastic praise of

sweet clover which he had planted a





‘year ago for the first time, after at-





tending an inStitute meeting in which

a speaker from the college extension

service had urged the attractions of

sweet clover for dry-time pasture.



George Collins had listened to the

same talk, but was” inclined to be

skeptical about sweet clover, which

he had long looked upon disdainfully

as a weed.



“Well, I never put much stock in

sweet 'clover,” 'he answered Lee’s

praise of it. “Father used to say he’d

just as soon have quack on the farm

as sweet clover. And I always figured

he was right, by gel! Why, just last

week, old Jep Ingram said he’s had

a scrap ever since he tried a little on

one of his fields several years ago.”





“Jep’s a farmer of the old school,

and anyhow, you fellows have got the

wrong slant on it,” cut in Lee. “In

the first place, I wonder if you fellows

know how long sweet clover lives.”



“So far as I can see, the bloomin’

stuff lasts forever.”





“Huh, I thought that was your

idea,” triumphed Lee, climbing down

“Don’t you remember

It lives just

two years, unless, of course, you grow

the one-year kind. I heard him say

that, and so did you. He said it would

continue on the same piece of ground

after the two years, only if it were

allowed to set and drop seed, and left

alone, except mebbe harrowin’ it. .Re-

member?”



“By gol, Henry, don’t believe I do,”

answered George.



“You were there all the time,

Weren’tIyou?” demanded Henry.



“Yep; I was a settin’ right behind

you,” admitted George rather sheep-

ishly. ‘



“Well, you sure must have turned

your deaf ear to him, while he was





‘ talking. ”





“Mebbe I did, Henry, or dozed off a'

bit when he reached that point.”



Lee could easily believe that Collins

had napped intermittently during the

Speech. As for reading farm. journals





and finding out more about his busi-_





ness, or listening to talks on agricul-

tural subjects on his five-tube radio

set, he-figured that was a waste of

time. He’d farmed all his life, as had

his father before him, and thought his

cum experience about as good a school

of instruction as science could offer.

Rather unreeeptive to new ideas,

though he often really perceived their

values, he was slow to admit that any





. new practices were shead of the time-

honored‘ old ones. Consequently, he,

as we have.- Tell you what I’d like

to do—I’d like to go over and see that

be Sunday.” _



“Come right along,” urged Henry.

“Be glad to have you. Leave your

deaf ear to home, though, George, be-

cause I’m sure going to talk sweet

clover to you,”



George Collins Was as good as his

word, and the following Sunday found

him on his neighbor’s farm, open to

conviction, as he said. Nor could he

fail to admire the field Henry so

proudly showed him, the' sweet clover

standing thick'and lush and green, de-

spite the blistering heat. And when

he turned his eyes tov‘vard a clump of

trees on one side of the twenty where

the cows were sheltering from the

sun’s fierce rays, he was forced to

admit that those cows looked far bet-

ter than his own.



“Guess you must be right about this

stuff, Henry-4’ he was beginning,

when Lee’s young son interrupted him.

“Say!” the youngster announced hap—

pily, “Mom’s got some ice-cream and

strorberries ready for us.”



“Now that’s a real nice surprise,”

exclaimed Collins.



“N0 surpriSe fer us,” said the boy.

“We eat ice-cream here every. day,

we do.”



“That settles it, Henry. If sweet

clover pasture means ice-cream every

day, it’s'sweet clover for mine next

year!”



And, though he spoke jestingly, he

meant business, and Henry Lee knew

he had converted his neighbor.



“Seeing is believing, eh, George?”

he grinned.

The pitch-

FAR" RELIEF.





 





I HAVE been wondering why the





ltles,"

lief hills which have been considered

by congress, should be so specific.

Why should it mean only wheat, corn,

rice, cotton, tobacco, cattle, or_ swine?





Why are not oats in this list? Why

not apples? Why not sheep? ~ Why

not potatoes? Why not eggs? Cer-

tainly these products are about as

basic as tobacco, in my estimation.

Unless I miss my guess. in less than

two years from now, sheep producers

will want congress to dispose of their





than that, Michigan farmers would

like to have congress freeze their sur-

plus potatoes. Apples may become a

surplus before that time.





Personally. I cannot get very much

enthused over this pop for farmers,

especially when it operates to keep

them from doing what they can and

should do for themselves. And I am

very suspicious of additional govern-

ment machinery. All government

agencies, regardless of how pressing

the need at the time of their forma-





. lion, always have a tendency to per-





petuate themselves. If there is not a

legitimate demand for them, they cre-

ate demand.





In the beginning the Interstate

Commerce Commission was supposed

to stand between avaricious railroad

corporations and an oft~victimized pub-

lic. Whereas, it recently appears that

the Interstate Commerce Commission

does more standing up for the rail-

,roads than it does setting down on

them. Which is to say, that original

intent is later frequently sadly al-

tered.



Once I was considered radical be-

cause I thought cooperative marketing

the best solution for farm marketing

problems; now I am considered con-





servative because I still think so.—





I.. J. M.





BOOSTING AND EQUAL RIGHTS.





 





HAVE two “knocks" for anyone

who feels he needs them, on two

separate counts.

First of all, why do so many people

“knock," when boosting takes no more





, breath or time, and yields so much

~larger returns .in satisfaction, and





sometimes even in a material way?

When one boosts, it gives one a nice

comfortable feeling that the world is

a pretty place to live in yet, and it

sure makes those around him feel a

heap better.



Take farming, for instance. When

in time, or where else in all the world,





{did farmers ever have the conven-





iences and comforts, and even luxur-

ies they now have? Some howl about

“the good old times,” but who wants

to go back to no telephones, no auto-

mobiles, mail once a week, in case he

or a. good neighbor goes to town, and

a weekly newspaper instead of the R.

F. D. to bringthe dailies right to our

homes, to say nothing of the radio?





If the average farmer used the man-

ey it costs him to run his car (not to



mention the cost of the car itself) in

other Ways, it would buy him a good

many things. But he wouldn’t care to

get along without the car, and no one

blames him for that. What makes me

tired is hearing folks howl about hard

times. when they have so many things

that a. generation ago were considered

great luxuries. I was. ten years old

when I had my first dish of ice cream.





{things of life. Many now have, and

many more hope to have, their homes

as used in the agriculturalre-





surplus mutton. Perhaps in less time ,





and now it is one of the very common,





 





when we have so much to enjoy: why

kick? Things 0681: more than they

used to, but 'We get more in most

cases, When we sell.



Try boosting a. while. Count your

blessings. There is a lot of things

so common we scarcely think of them

as blessings, but if gone they would

be sadly missed. Boosting is a habit

that grows rapidly if cultivated a bit.



Here is another “knock." Any man

who is so small as to refer to the

property his wife has helped him ac»-

cumulate, as "mine,” and who refuses

her an equal share in the disposition





of it, is too -contemptible to be called;





a man. 'He is only a male. Any man

who really loves his wife also trusts

her; And if he trusts her, he shares

equally with her in” every way.





Marriage should be a fifty-fifty prop-

osition. If it isn't, it will be a failure.





I think the Good Book tells us that





he who fails'to provide for his family

has denied the faith and is worse than

an infidel. I do not think there need

be any worry over such a person ever

entering the pearly gates—F. L S.





POTATO IM PO-RTATION3.





 





I WOULD like the privilege of ask-

. ing the following question, with

comments:





Last fall, it was publicly announced

by what seemed good authority, that

Canada had raised the shortest crop

of potatoes on record, and that the

Dominion of Canada would not have

enough potatoes for its home ch-

sumption. ~ But all through the past

winter the United States Bureau :of

Ag1icultural Economics has advertis-

ed daily impmtations of Canadian po~

tatoes to the United States, reading

as high as over fifty cars per day.

Where do those potatoes come from?

If Canada had not enough of her oWn

raising for home consumption, then

do these potatoes seek entrance to the

United States through Canada from

countries against which there is quar—

antine of potatoes, because of diseases

detrimental to the interests of home

growers?





If this be the case, then the United

States federal authorities in charge

cannot be ignorant of the fact, but are

willing to sacrifice the future of the

potato industry for a temporary relief

which, though acute in its need, is

dangerous in the methods resorted to,

and this is the same federal United

States government from which so

many expect relief of farm burdens

by the establishment of a. ten million

dollar export board, composed mostly

of politicians and professional office

seekers. Let us have a full answer to

this—J. E. Taylor.

UGH cf the trouble arising over

the trespass question comes

abontgas a result at misunder-

standing. Mutual misunder-





,:|t‘anding at that, on the part of the

landowner and trespasser, though in

.pa .majority of instances the fault in

. the. beginning lies with the latter.





The "landowner’s misunderstanding





‘, of the visitor consists largely of fail-





ure to believe in the innocence of the

The farmer some:

times cannot see that no harm was

meant, he cannot realize the longing

of the cramped city folks for a bit of

air and sun and grass. In many in—

stances, it must be admitted, the farm-

er, galled by some previous experi-

ence, is needlessly harsh and rude to

visitors as honorable as himself, who

mean no harm, and really do nothing

that should give offense. Of course,

the fact still remains, that boorish as

it may appear, the farmer is still With-

in his legal rights in refusing all and

sundry, admission to his lands.





As the Majority of City People See It.





Failure on the part of the visitor to

understand the viewpoint of the land-

owner falls into two classes, accident.

There are trespas-

sers who actually mean no harm.

They find themselves in the unfamil-

iar atmosphere of the open country,

suddenly freed from the multitude of

restraints necessarily imposed by the

close living conditions of the city, and

they act without thinking. If the road-

side is free picnicking ground, they

reason, then surely it can do no harm

to climb over the fence to that

smoother, greener spot just on the

other side. Tramp down young alfal—

fa? They thought it grew on a tree

called a silo.



Once within the fence they see no

harm in scattering out a bit. If Willie

wants to climb that tree, it won’t hurt"

him. A young fruit tree with yearling

grafts? The only kind of graft they

ever heard of is of a hardier sort, that

even a political rival’s climbing doesn't

usually uproot. Pick some flowers, or

a little fruit, if it is in season? Why,

surely. The farmer has a whole or-

chard full. He certainly wouldn’t care

for just a handful. They forget that

they are one of a thousand that will

pass that way in a week, and a thou—

sand handfuls fill quite a space. And

so it goes.



This class of trespasser, making up.

happily, the largest group of his breed,

needs only a reasonable educating

process to teach him decent and prop-

er respect for the landowner’s rights,

to transform him into a desirable visa

itor to the rural sections.



The Deliberate Pest.





The other class, whose .misunder—

standing is deliberate, is the smart

city chap who feels for the farm and

all connected with it, a deep and burn-

ing contempt. To him the farmer is

a crude old hick, to be beaten on ev-

ery turn if possible. If he finds a fruit

tree far enough from the farmer’s

house that he deems his chances of

escape one hundred per cent good, he

takes delight, not in picking a lunch,

but in stripping the tree, carrying off

the spoils in bags in his car. If he

starts out on an autumn hunting trip,

and a NO TRESPASS sign bars his

-way, he is at once possessed of a deep

desire to destroy the sign, just as an

outlet for that contempt. If a fence





.hinders the passage of his dog, he





cuts and bends back the wire for the

same reason. Fences have no right to

be erected where they interfere with

a hound’s pursuit of happiness and

cottontails.



If this chap finds a pile of wood

corded by the roadside where the

farmer has cut up a windfallen tree,

Now, those hunters almost certainly

must have knowfii what they had done.

Gentlemen, or anything approaching,

to the house, reported the accident,

and seen what could be done for the/

horse. Finding that effort useless, they

would haVe apologized, paid, or hon-

estly pledged payment for the'dam—

age, at a fair valuation, and gone

away, welcome to come‘ back and hunt

sort._ They scored a clean getaway,

the people of the state to cross his

Worst of all, he does permit certain

of his neighbors to hunt, and now and

then he himself spends a day afield.

longs to the state!” shouts the hunt-

ing fraternity. And for a wonder the

Well, let’s look briefly into his side

of the question. Five or six years ago,

he pastured his horses one fall in a

brush-grown road, on the side of his

farm farthest from the house. Rabbit

stray shot through the brush, and

hunters, to the present day! The priv-

ilege of allowing his neighbors to

hunt while others are barred, he does

not exercise because of a desire to

appropriate game for his friends, but

because, when a gun is fired on his

property, he wants to know definitely

who fired it, and that the hunter is

a responsible person, liable for any

damage he may do.





Highway Robbery of Minnows.





In another instance two brothers,

who have made a fair share of their

living for forty years by trapping on

farm land'throughout the county—and

who, by the way, have not an enemy

among the farmers of that county, and

to whom every farm is open ground—

closed a certain section of a small

stream that traversed their ten-acre

marsh land farm, to all minnowing.

Now, that stream had supplied the

fishermen of the section with live bait

for years. It was generally considered

a petty and selfish trick on the part of

the two brothers to forbid the taking

of minnows by the public, after the

hospitality they had enjoyed on the

lands of others. But behind their act

lay a particularly disgusting piece of

unsnortsmanship and worthlessness.

who fled in their car before he couiid

cross a field and reach them. The

birds were shot in open violation of

state law. The farmer apparently had

but one recourse, to close his land to

all hunting, which he did. Blame him?

By/no means!





Hunting Rights for Protection.





One . owner of a two-hundred4acre

farm last autumn invi d the fifty

members of a city sports en’s club to

hunt pheasant on his farm during the

open season; The club accepted, birds

were abundant,

happy. The farmer lived fifty miles

from the city that was the club’s head-

quarters, and numbered no personal

friends among its members. What.

then,_was back of his odd invitation?

The invitation was conditional, stipu-

‘ letting that the club visit the farm one

week before the opening of the sea-

son, brlnging a NO TRE-SPAS’S sign

for each. member, and post the signs

at prominent points about the farm.

In other words, the farmer traded

hunting rights for protection from in

discriminate trespass and possible

vandalism»..





The fifty members of the club were

commissioned state wardens; Respon-

sible men, in position to enforce pro-



tection of the farmer’s rights. An

ideal arrangement for all concerned.

Therein, by the way, lies an excellent

suggestion for farmers and hunters

alike, as to a method that will go a

long way toward solving the hunting

problem for both.



Let the decent sportsmen, prefer.

ably banded into an organization of

some sort, as they already are in most

communities, pledge to as many farm-

ers of that community as are willing,





.. protection so far as possible, against





vandalism, in return for the privilege

of hunting on their lands. Enough «of

the sportsmen can secure warden’s

commissions, in cooperation with the

local state warden. to put teeth in

the law.





Let the farmers invite such hunters

onto their lands, in return for the

protection they afford. Undesira‘ble

trespassing would, in all probability,

soon disappear from sections known

to be so protected. (

Battle of the Courts.



Michigan courts have been witness-

ing a bitter battle to deprive the land«

owner of the right to forbid that type

of trespass involved when anglers

wade a stream across his land. The

sportsmen have illegically declared

that the future of free fishing in Mich-

igan depended on the outcome of this

court fight, disregarding. the fact that

all inland lake fishing, which makes

up the majority of our angling, is done

entirely with the landowner’s consent,

and without forcing any rights at all.

It has been stated that if the land-

owner in this case won- the right to

protect the sanctity of his own land

by forbidding trespassers to cross his

line fences in any manner, then all

fish hatcheries in the state might as

well be closed. If this is true, then

free fishing is dependent upon legal~

smoke a pipe!





 





 





I’M HERE to say that you can. And it

isn’t a matter of perseverance, either.

Let me give you a page out of my own

book. I used to think that I would never

be able to smoke a pipe. That is, and

enjoy it. I was doing an "off again, on

again, Finnegan” with first this tobacco

and then that.



Then I made a discovery! A friend of

mine suggested that I try a load of his

Prince Albert. (I’ll say he was a friend!)

I tried it, and I want to go on record here

and now that no other pipe tobacco ever

tasted like that before. I tried a sec-

ond load, to be sure my taste wasn’t

kidding me.





 





The second load tasted even better

than the first. I knew that I hadffound

the one tobacco for me. That was seven

years ago, and I’ve been a Prince Albert

regular ever since. P. A. is so cool and

sweet and fragrant, so genuinely friendly,

you just want to hit it up from morning

to midnight (and do!).



P. A. doesn’t bite the tongue or

patch the throat. That’s one of the rea-

sons I’ve stayed with it these years. I

know just what you’re going through,

Old Man. Just tear a leaf out of my

book. Get yourself a tidy red tin of

good old P. A. today. No friend ever





gave you better advice.





P. A. is sold everywhere in tidy red

tins, pound and half-pound (in humi-

dors, and pound crystal-glass humidors

with sponge-moistener top. And

always with every bit of bite and patch

removed by the Prince Albert process.

, of, trouble, to do what Michigan sports-





men have declared impossible. That





‘ is.‘ to. find a solution for this same

problem that would be satisfactory to .





all parties. And she has succeeded.

'Connectlcut Has Found a Way.





In order to insure the future of free

fishing in that state, Connecticut’s

board of fisheries has been authorized

to acquire fishing rights on streams

by lease, purchase, or gift, and $60,000

has been appropriated to carry out

the plan.



Surprisingly, they have discovered

that plenty of farmers will lease thear

fishing rights for as low as one dollar

each, for a four-year period. One hun‘

dred miles of trout streams have been

so leased. In return the state builds

stiles over fences, requires anglers to

keep within ten feet of the stream

bank, prohibits fires, and in general

protects thé landowner from vandal—

ism. Which proves that the farmers

are not members of the family pork-

us, after all, and that there are other

ways and better ways, than Michi-

gan’s plan of fighting for fishing rights

in supreme court, and creating ill W111

on both sides.





Pennsylvania prohibits by law the

shooting of any firearms within 150

yards (we believe that is the exact

distance, if memory serves us right),

of any buildings occupied as a dwell-

ing, except with the written consent

of the owner. ‘That state also defi-

nitely forbids shooting at any object

which is not plainly and entirely vis-

ible. This is even construed to pro-

hibit shooting into squirrel nests,

.which gives some idea of the rigidness

of its interpretation. It is an excelleht

law, both from the viewpoint of the

landowner and the hunter himself.





‘The Problem Strikes Home.





Only last autumn the writer’s father

received a wound in the cheek from

a stray pellet of number six, fired by

an over-excited hunter at a fleeing

rabbit. Theturned-up collar of his

heavy work jacket prevented severe

wounds in his neck, the entire charge

of shot, fairly well spent, striking him

squarely on the shoulders back of the

head, while he sat, hunched over a

shock of corn he was husking. The

one pellet struck his cheek, sidewise,

inflicting a long scratch. The rabbit

hunter, who had fired over the crest

of a low knoll, gave the rather lame

excuse that he hadn’t seen him. An

example of inexcusable carelessness,

which was saved from becoming a

serious accident «by sheer luck, and

which does not tend to make farmers

love the nondescript hunting party.



West Virginia Holds FirstPlace.



It is West Virginia who holds first

place for giving the landowner the

protection on his land to which he is

entitled. Oddly enough, too, conser

vation and such kindred matters are

relativelynew there, the state’s out-

door organization, The Wild Life

League of West Virginia, having been

organized only a few years ago. Yet

one of the first laws, Sponsored by the

sportsmen of the state themselves,

was one which automatically invests

every farmer with the full powers of

a game protector or warden when it

is necessary for him to protect his

own land from trespass.



In other words, if the West Virginia

farmer sees a party of tourists pick-

ing fruit from his trees, a frog hunter





, tramping down his crops, or a nimrod





shooting into his pet flock of quail,

he can go quietly and say, “You are

under arrest. Where is your hunting

license or driver's license, to positive-

ly identify you?” >



And having been shown, “Very well,

you may appear in Justice Doe’s office

in Johnvillew; tomorrow morning at

9:00, to answer to a charge of tres-

passing on posted property, stealing

fruit, wilfully damaging crops, and

whatever other charges you may be

guilty of.” '



How different from, and how in-

finitely more dignified than the posi-

tion of the Michigan farmer under

similar conditions, who can walk out

to the offending party and say,

“What are you doing here?” to be

answered with “Who wants to know ‘2’:



Then, “What is your name?” and

the trespasser says, “So’s your old

mare!” or something more emphatic.



And if he has been stealing nuts or

fruit, and is ordered off as the only

course of action open to the farmer,

the chances are he will depart. carry-

ing the bag of stolen goods with him.

What can the farmer do? Detain him

by physical violence? Yes, and ex-

pose himself to arrest on a charge of

assault. ’ ' ~ .

Hunters Get Most Blame.



A great share of this discussion has

involved the misdemeanors of hunt-

ers, perhaps because they are usually

conspicuous ones. They are, however,

no more nefarious than the acts of

fishermen, trap-pets, picnickers, trip-

pers, tourists and all other trespas-

sers. And, of course, it goes without

saying that‘measures or laws which

afford the landowner relief from one

band of trespassing, automatically

protect him from all “of them. West

Virginia’s law strikes us as one of the

simplest and most feasible plans pos-

sible for remedying the 'chief difficulty,

the farmer’s helplessness in the face

0 .



In the meantime anything which

tends to bring about mutual under-

standing, to reduce friction between

landowner and visitor, is worth trying.



Visitors to rural districts, of the

right sort, are both valuable and pleas-

ant to the farmers. The privilege of

visiting these districts is, on the oth-

er hand, valuable and pleasant to the

visitor. Each should treat the other

with the courtesy and respect due

him. If mistakes are made accident-

ally, correct them peaceably.



For the wilful trespasser and van-

dal, pursue the same course. Educate

him, but while the process is going on

give the farmer protection and author-

ity enough to enable him to discipline

the pupil.



There is, to the landowner, a vast

difference between using his ground

for harmless recreational purposes af-

ter his permission has been respect-

fully secured, and seeking to force a

way across regardless of his feelings.



Few farmers are small enough to

refuse a courteous request to trespass

on their lands, where no damage is

involved. I do not believe a farmer

should refuse such a request, and I

haven’t much use for the one who

does—but the fact remains that he is

within his legal right if he chooses to

do so. He scrapes together the an-

nal taxes on that land, he has sur-

rounded it with his fences, and by the

oldest law of civilized ownership has

the sole right to dictate the uses

to which it may be put! That land is

his, to do with as he pleases. It’s up

to him. Ask his permission to cross,

but don’t think you can force your

way.



May the breed of considerate, court-

eous visitors, and of kindly, generous

farmers increase—and along with

them, let’s have more laws like West

Virginia’s, to speed the process!

OLD pack canning of fruits and



vegetables has saved many dol—



lars on the family food budget.

By this canning process food can be

canned in first-class condition and it

has helped many busy housewives to

answer the hurry—up dinner prOblem

when company dropped in unexpect-

edly for dinner. Undoubtedly, there

is not one of our readers but that has

acquainted themselves with the steps

of this canning process.



But now the home economics bureau

of the United States Department of

Agriculture comes along with another

tested method of canning that they

recommend as more rapid and more

practical, especially with some fruits

and vegetables. This hot pack meth-

od, as they call it, is quick and easy.

It combines all the good points of the

cold pack method and has some addi-

tional advantages of its own.



How to Do it the Hot Pack Way.



Briefly, the hot pack method is to

wash and otherwise prepare the fruits

and vegetables for canning, cook it

for ten or fifteen minutes in water or

syrup in a kettle, pack it boiling hot

into sterilized glass jars or tin cans

and process in the hot water bath or

pressure cooker, according to the time

and temperature recommended.



This short pre-cooking of fruits and

vegetables Wilts and shrinks them so

that they can be packed more easily.

It drives out the air and makes ex-

hausting unnecessary. Most import-

ant of all, the food packed boiling hot

into the jars or cans and put at once

into the hot water bath or canner,

reaches the temperature required for

processing, far sooner than if packed

cold, and makes possible shorter proc-

essing periods. Moreover, heat pene—

trates more uniformly during canning

and the food in the center of the jar

is more likely to be properly proc—

essed.



This cuts down the chance of spoil-

age, for it is proper processing more

than all else that determines whether

canned foods keep or spoil.



Get Your Copy of Bulletin.



The department has published a bul-

letin on this method of canning. The

directions are concise and include

time tables for handling fruits and

vegetables, from apples to strawber-

ries, and from asparagus to corn.



Requests for copies of this farmers’

bulletin No. l417-F, “Canning Fruits

and Vegetables at Home,” should be

made of the United States Department

of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.





 





HER “AUTOGRAPH” GARDEN.





 





N acquaintance, whose pet hobby



is flowers, has what she chooses

to call an “autograph garden.” It is

a fascinating hobby, as well as a pret-

ty idea for flower lovers. Her garden

started years ago when her flower-

loving little mother died. Some of the

mother’s cherished plants were taken

home, and‘for over fifteen years have

been blooming and growing abundant-

rly. Offsprings from a Madeira bulb

were kept in a pot in the house during

"the winter, and in the summer the

porch was a mass of waving verdure

tram it.

' One of her treasures was an English

bookcase, draped a little statuette,





then wandered to a near-by picture on ,





the wall and climbed the picture cord

on its way to the light of the window.

How often I have visualized "Gad’s

Hill” and Dickens at Trot, looking at

those vine-covered walls.”





She continues, “last summer I had

gorgeous hollyhocks whose beauty

was enhanced, for me by the knowl-

edge that they came from Whittier’s

old home. .1 thought as I worked

among them, how years ago the dear,

Among her other treasures are pop-

battlefields of France. Every year she

strives to add another variety or; two,

E‘s/m Mn, my a...





. EARLT every hous'ewife’s list of

layerite‘dishes contains one or

" more recipes calling for a num-

ber of egg whités, but that does not

use the yolks. Perhaps angel food

cake is the most common of these.

What do you do with the left-over

yolks? I have two recipes for my

emergency shelf, in which I use all

the extra egg yolks. Both dishes will

keep indefinitely, so no difference how

many yolks there are left, I use them

all.

Noodles I made in the usual way,

The

noodles are well dried before cutting,





'and then dried again after cutting, so





there is no danger of them sticking

together. Then they are packed in

empty cereal cartons or fruit jars, and

set on the emergency shelf. When

unexpected company drives in and the

larder is low, a dish of hot and well-





.cooked noodles usually prove a wel-





come addition to the meal. I can beef

stock when canning the beef late in

the fall’ or winter; and the noodles

are deliCious cooked in this. Chicken

broth is also canned, and may be used.

Lacking either of these, noodles are

good cooked with a tomato sauce, just

as you would macaroni.



The following salad dressing I like

the best of any I ever used, and will

keep fine. Put a cup of cider vinegar

and two heaping tablespoons Of, butter

on the stove to heat. Mix one tea-

spoon of mustard powder and a tea-





, spoon of vinegar smooth, and add a





tablespoon of water to prevent the

vinegar from curdling the-egg yolks.

Stir in two teaspoons of sugar, half a

teaspoon of white pepper, and a tea-

spoon of salt. Then add the beaten

yolks of five eggs and blend thorough-

ly. Stir at once into the hot vinegar.

Keep stirring until the dressing is

thick. Then ’set on the back of the .





stove and cook for half an hour, when

it is ready to put in glass jars and set

in a cool place. When you are ready

to use it, thin with either sweet or





sour cream to the right consistency. .

I prefer slightly soured cream. Only :





add the cream to as much as you are

going to use at one time. This dress-





ing may be used in any recipe calling '

. “Better, thank you,”_answered Hop-

“But what is the matter with your





‘: ears, Hopper?” asked Tilly.





With an effort Hopper tried to perk

them up but they just wouldn’t seem

:‘Mother‘





“found me and brought me here.





 





Rabbit took my two little brothers and

myself out in the meadow to play. I

wandered away from the rest and

soon I heard a clinkety, clinkety,

clankety. It was so very loud that it

frightened me. I did not know which

way to run so I ducked my head un-

der the biggest bunch of clover that

I could find and stood very still. Soon.

though, I was picked up and slipped

into a dark pocket. ‘

“After a jiggley ride in thatdark

pocket, I was taken out and put into

a little box that had wires across the

front. There was a little straw in the

bottom of the box. I squeezed and

squirmed, and pulled and pushed to





‘get between the Wires but could not.





.“A little boy and girl brought me

bits of lettuce and cabbage. I nibbled

at them but they did not taste good.

I could not run and hop in my little

prison and I became sick. My sleek

soft fur grew rough and tauny. I was

ugly-looking and the little boy and

girl did [not like me so well. Many

times they forgot to feed me'or to

give me water to drink.





“But one night kind Nicky Gnome





Doc-

tor Gnome says if I will take all the





bitter medicine he gives me, that I.





will get well. Then I can go back to

the meadow again.”





.When Hopper had finished telling of

his experience, Tilly was thinking of

the little Easter Bunny she had kept

shut up in the little box in her own

back yard. '





:‘I do hope you get well right away,”

said Tilly, and right then she promis-

ed herself never to shut up abunny

again. .



Nicky Gnome said never a Word as

Tinker and Tonker trotted off with

their little chariot. Gnomes seldom

tell secrets, and who can tell but that

he knew that Hopper was none other

than Tilly’s Easter rabbit that Nicky





himéelfhad let out of its prison.

CARE OF THE enowmo CHICKS.





IT is. one thing. to get good hatches,



another to start the chicks right,

and another to keep them growing

without any setbacks.



A great many poultry raisers have

the idea that the first ten days of the

chick’s life are the most dangerous,

and so they are, but one must keep

up a. constant watch or things will go

wrong. -





Chicks double in size very quickly

and as quickly double again, so that

before we hardly realize it they are

under crowded conditions. Cull as they

grow. Cut out and prepare for market

these that are not good enough to

keep for breeding or exhibition "pur-

poses. The others will do much bet-

Iter if they have more room.





A few don’ts well worth remember-

-.ing are as follows: Do not let the

water founts become slimy on the in-

side. Take a. whisk broom and clean

them out each time you fill them.

Keep ‘them well supplied with fresh,

clean water; it is as necessary for the

Echicks as for you.





While sunshine is important tothe

very young chick, it is also a big fac-

tor in breeding lice and mites and the

chicks will suffer as much from over-

;heat as they do from chilling.



Don’t allow the chicks to be out in

,the direct, hot rays of the sun all day.

If they have no natural shade, provide

(some; it will pay well.



Don’t allow those chicks to brood in

dirty quarters. Clean the coops often

iand at least once a week give them a,





' goo‘d spraying with some good insecti-





rcide. It is much easier to keep the

lice and mites down than to get rid

got them, once they get a start.





Don’t neglect giving them some

good, succulent green feed every day.



Don’t think you can fill up the mash

hoppers, jump in your‘car and go on

a vacation and let the chicks take care

4’0? themselves. It has been quite a

task to bring them this far, so let’s

keep them growing every day. A good'

growing mash; scratch feed fed in the

litter so they have to exercise to get

it; some good, mellow dirt spaded up

once in a while for them to scratch

in; some good green feed once a. day;

Iclean water founts and fresh water;

jclean quarters well disinfected, and

you should keep them growing right

‘along. Don’t let the hot sun make you

.too lazy to look after these little de-

tails. You have been kicking on the

Icohl, wet, late spring, so don’t kick

ion the heat, but take care of those

chicks—Dwight E. Hale.





 





TO PREVENT WEASEL DESTROY-

ING CHICKS.





I have been losing some young

chicks at night by a weasel. What

can I do to get rid of this pest?—A. M.





The weasel is a sagacious little ani-

mal and not easily caught in a trap.

The surest and best way of preventing

chicken losses from him, and all other

such animals, is to have coops built

so that the weasel cannot enter. Ce-

ment floors and half-inch wire screen

for all openings that are left open in

warm weather, takes away all worry

and prevents all losses.



It takes a pretty good trapper to

catch a weasel, but it can be done. A

common steel trap carefully buried in

canh is the best way, but they must

be carefully set. If he‘ goes through

a. small hole in the coop, set a trap

on either side of the hole. The trap





ered, and the dirt placed over the





hands. '





 





’ Use a wooden paddle. to handle the





should be carefully adjusted and cov-'





trap should not be handled with the

The human smell will be, .

encugh to make the weasel suspicious. .,





 





dirt. . .



The best bait 4'01- a weasel is a.

freshly killedyoung chicken. Hang it

head down just within the coop so the





weasel will have to reach pretty well -





to get it. Now, if the trap is properly

covered and the bait-enticing, you are

quite liable to fool and Catch ' Mr.

Weasel.

A watch dog is a good preventative

‘for night prowling animals.





GROUND LIMESTONE.





My chickens often lay eggs with

thin shells. I saw an article in a pa-

per that said lime mixed in the dry

mash is good in such cases.‘ Can you

tell me how much lime I can use 'in

.100 pounds of mash, and what kind of

lime to use? They have oyster shells

before them at all times—R.





Two pounds of pulverized limestone

mixed with 100 pounds of laying mash





will help to prevent thin shellst on





eggs





 





YOUNG POULTRY ENTHUSIAST.





RTHUR BRIGGS, a. fourteen-year-



old boy, of Midland, Michigan, is

a. chicken, enthusiast. Last year. he

sent for 100 baby White Leghorns,

having seen the advertisement in The

Michigan Farmer. From these he rais-

ed a. fine flock, and when the Midland

County Poultry Show was held, be ex-

hibited in several classes.





He is the proud possessor of a fine

bunch of ribbons attestinghis numer-

ous successes on this occasion, be

having taken four special prizes in ad-

dition to a number of regulars. One

of these was a $5.00 cash prize offered

by the Rotary Club, and Arthur re-

ceived a special invitation to the next

luncheon of the club. ‘





Another of the specials was a year’s

"subscription to a poultry magazine,

which he studies with much interest,

and when there is a. chicken “lecture”

or “school,“ announced within reason-

able distance, he is sure to be on hand.



Arthur graduated from the eighth

grade at the age of eleven, and is just

finishing his junior year- in the Mid-

land High School.



He has more than doubled his last

year’s order for baby chicks this year,

and calculates that, his White Leg-

horns are going to afford him substan-

tial help to “carry on” in his educa-

tion. —I. M. B.





 





A SLIGHT MISTAKE.





I F the article in the poultry depart~

ment .of June 5, signed “Milham,”





had said in the White Leghorn class, ’





it would have been correct. But the

writer should be reminded that Shi-

awassee county is in Michigan, and

that a. Barred Rock pullet from that

county, in the first six months of the

Michigan egg laying contest, was cred-

ited with 156 eggs in the nests, and

no one will ever know how many she

laid on the floor.





This pullet had only four eggs less

to her credit than the high ~hen in

the contest—a White Leghorn from

Oregon, and tied for second place with

a pullet in the same pen.



Mr. Cummings and Mr. Fogle also

have Rocks in the contest that passed

the 150- -egg mark. The White Leg-





horn men are not the whole thing, .

and their hens are not the only ones'





that can lays—W. F. Alexander.

Our W eat/y Sermon—By N. A. McCunr





E are not done with Jacob yet,

NE although we are dealing with

. the second generation of Jac-

obs boday. Solos) twenty years have

passed. A destroying famine spreads

ever . the land, and the brothers find

they must go to Egypt, ,where grain is

said to be abundant. They go, are

recognized by Joseph, though they do

not recognize him, are accused of be

ing spies, and are told to bring their

youngest brother, Benjamin, the next

time they come. To make sure that

they return one of the brothers, Sim-

eon, is kept in Egypt as a hostage.





They must come again, for the grain





' is exhausted, and, against the old fath-,





er's earnest desire, Benjamin comes

also. The old man bids him good-bye,

as if he were never to see him again.

Again Joseph has his practicaljoke at

,his- brothers’ expense, and a messen-

ger goes after them, accuses them of

tealing valuables, and, sure enough,

a silver cup is

found in Benja-

min’s sack. They

return in dismay,

and are told that

they may go, but

- t h a t Benjamin

must remain be-

hind. At t his

point this week’s

lesson opens.

Judah rises and

makes his plea for his brother. It is

one of the great scenes of Holy Writ.

Judah is not an orator. He is not

trained in speech. He knows none of

the arts of the speaker. He only





 





speaks straight on. But his words are ‘





the highest art, because they are in

intense earnest. He means every word.

[What he offered to do was to become

a slave, so that his youngest (half)

brother "might return with the others.

When one thinks what it meant to be

a slave in Egypt, he begins to appre—





iciate what Judah’s words mean. He

was, of course, much older than Benn





jamin. He speaks of him as “the lad.”

Listen: “Now therefore, let thy ser-

vant, I pray thee, abide instead of the

lad a bondman to my lord; and let the

lad go with his brethren."





OW the tables have turned! Jud-

ah, making a plea that may mean

his own enslavement before the broth-

er whom he had sold for money, twen-

ty years before! He had said, in that

hot and passionate hour, “What profit

is it if we slay our brother, and con.

cell his blood? Come, let us sell him

.' to the Ishmaelites.” He had a heart

.then, as he has now. He is doing this

to save the old father. Had he made

the plea for Joseph he now makes for

Benjamin things might have been dif-

-ferent.'

They had lied to the father then.





.How anxious they are now to save his





old age from needless heartache!

What had made the difference? Ad-

vancing years would hardly do it.

,They must have grown in humanity in

the intervening years. Perhaps what

they had done to a younger brother

had haunted them all the years. Con-

science had very evidently been at

work. They had seen that you cannot

play with the forces of right and

wrong without at last being gripped

in the vise. “It is a. fearful thing to





fall into the hands of the living God.”





(Heb 10: 31).

But Joseph can endure it no longer.





I A thousand memories rush upon him





He sees the mental suffering of the

men before him. If he has felt that

justice should be done them for their

murderous deed to him (for it was

hardly less than murder), it is‘all for—

given now. He. makes himself known

In tears he asks if it is





- with amazement and





Joseph says that it was the provi-

dence of God that sent him on be-

fore them. He sees the divine in the

transaction. He takes the long look,

which is'the only look "that can inter-

pret the meaning of actions. It takes

a long time to evaluate an action. We

are in a hurry, most of 'us. We must

judge, we feel, right off. Prohibition

is a failure because a man in our fac-





tory gets drunk every pay day, or be-;





cause in a certain mining town in

Nevada liquor flows more freely than

it did in the days of the saloon. It is

hard for many Of us to get the.idea

that if an act is right it is right, and

if it is wrong it is ‘wrong. It cannot

always be measured at once in dollars,

although the righteousness and eco-

nomics tally perfectly in the long run.



Judah’s offer to become a slave

reaches the heights and depths. Here

is something, we feel, that is genuine.

Greater love hath no man than this,

that a ,man lay down his life for his

friend. Was Judah trying to atone for

the act of twenty years before? He

had too often seen the anguished face

of the old father, as he wondered,

sitting for hours alone, whether Jos-

eph were alive or no. What had be-

come of him? Would he ever see him

again? Had the brothers deceived

him? The dastardliness of it all, the

consuming murderousness-of it. Today

Judah will atone; He will wash his

soul clean. And we feel that he does.

The others do not, he does. He is a

type of that Sacrifice on the Cross,

that made atonement for the sins of

mankind.

GETTING OLD.





 





I am a man of forty-eight and all

run down. I don’t feel the “pep” and

vigor of a. few years ago, and seem to

be rather losing out. Please tell me

EhireDI can buy a good sex tonic.—





I don’t think you need medicine.

Your chief need is to know how to

take care of yourself, what you can do

and what not. Some of these things

are entirely too intimate to print in

our paper. I have prepared a special

letter which I call “Hints to Men of

Fifty." If you will send a stamped,

addressed envelope I will see that you

get a copy.





NEEDS SELF-CONTROL.





 





I am a girl fifteen years of age. I

think that I have nervousness. When

I face a room full of people, or an

audience to recite or read, I become

embarrassed, the blood rushes to my

head, my breath becomes short, and

sometimes I cannot continue but must

fit 1dovlvxn. What can I do to cure this?





While this is largely a matter of

gaining and exercising

you will find it much easier to do if

you bring yourself up to the top notch

of health. Get nine hours sleep every

night in fresh air. Eat nourishing

food and make sure that your diet in-

cludes a good share of vegetables,

milk, butter and eggs—especially milk.





Do not allow yourself to get overly-





tired, but do a moderate amount of

work every day. Try to forget your-

self. Remember that people are all

dispobed to think kindly of your ef-

forts and that, after all, the important

thing is not what the audience thinks

of you, but what they think of your

There is a M. C. at Goldwater, Mich.

Whose dearest hobby is to fish.

She got in a boat,

J Dear Uncle Frank: _



There is a thing for me to tell you,

Uncle Frank and the Merry Circle. On

page 354-12, you will see at the bottom

of the page, an article by Dexter Brig-

ham, of Decatur. He is one of the

largest producers of onions and onion

seeds 1n the United States. His wife,

Mrs. M_ Brigham, is my teacher. She

makes us learn, too.——Frank Prichard.



We are glad to learn that Mr. Brig-

ham is accomplishing things in the

onion business. Undoubtedly “He

knows his onions,” a slang expression

which fits in this case. You are lucky



{to have a teacher who makes you

‘learn.

I





 





Dear Uncle:



School’s out! Vacation is here.

Say, cousins, did you ever write left-

handed? If you haven’t, try it once.

1 took my final exams left-handed. I

tried to open the door at the school-

house and my hand slipped and went

through. It cut my right arm in places

clear to my shoulder, also my ear was

cut. Our teacher was a good nurse

and he had the blood stopped by th



;t1me the doctor dressed it. .



' My opinion about smoking is that if

nicotine (from tobacco) will kill in-

sects, it will kill people also. You

don’t hear much about the prohibition

of tobacco, but it ‘should be stopped

for it is a slow poison which is nearly



, as bad as alcohol. .



l With best wishes for the M. C. who

haven’t taken their exams—Margery

Wagner...



You certainly had an unfortunate





.; 3991.6“; but through it you learned





 





 





to write left-handed. No loss without

some gain. Amen on the tobacco ques-

tion.





 





Dear Uncle and Cousins:



How’s the circle, anyway?

to me as if the female sex are doing

all the chattering! What’s, the matter

with the boys? Have they all got the

flue? That’s what I had, and believe

me, if that’s what’s ailing them, they

have a good excuse for not writing!

I have not written the circle for over

a. year, although I’m a constant read-

er of our page. Well, I think I’m do-

ing better than some of those M. C.

fellers. Hey! guys, wake up. Uncle

will be calling our circle “The Female

Gossipers’ Circle!” if we don’t do

something to stop them. Ha, ha!



Hawkshaw, the detective! what

does he do? Spend all his time watch-

ing the girls—making notes of how

much kalsomine and red paint they

got on, and how short they wear their

skirts. That isn’t a bad job. Think

I’ll try it myself. How would you like

to try it, uncle? Love to you and the

M. C’s—Long silent male M. C.





The job you refer to I think would

be an interesting one, but perhaps not

very profitable. Undoubtedly many

engage in that for a pastime. There

is no doubt but what the girls are the

letter writers, and they write interest-

ing letters, otherwise so many would

not be reading them. - -

Dear Uncle Frank: \7



I’ve read a lot of “monkey talk” on

our page, so I’ll have to say my say

about it.

about it, but if you saw me hanging

on a trapeze bar, you’d say, “Darwin

was right.”



Say, Uncle Frank, who won the dol-

lar prize in the-last drawing contest?

I haven’t seen anything about it on

our page. _



I guess I will ring off, hoping to see

this in print—John W. Rytie.



So you are good at “monkey shines."

That’s fine, for they are good exercise.

The dollar has never been awarded,

because “Peter,” who won first prize,

and whose design‘ we used, never'sent





in her address.





 





Hello, M. C.’s:



How do you all feel? I don’t feel

very well. My heart’s in the bottom

of my toes. Gee! Exams are so near

they make me have the hibby-jibbies.

Listen, some of you girls and boys

better not say too much about Her-

bert not writing. It was mother’s day

in May and he’s thinking of her. He

lost his mother a few years ago, and

I feel kinda sorry for him. You know

how children feel when their real

mother is not with them.



I was burning up a lot of old pa-

pers and I, found a Michigan Farmer

of March 17, 1922, and I was very

much surprised. My eyes nearly pop-

ped out of my head for I saw this:



“Dear Uncle Frank:



“I was born in the same city you

are living in (so was I). My mother

died, so I came here to live with my

aunt in the country. I would sooner

live in the country than in the city.



“I don’t quite understand how to

set down the Read-and-Win answers,

so please give me an example.



‘91 have a lot more to say, but I will

say’it in my next letter. I wish to be

a member of the club, so please send

me a button and a membership card.

Will close, from your nephew, Herbert

Estes, Webberville, Mich.”



Well, M. C.’s, I told you some old-

time news, and if Herbert did howl

like a dog about some of the girls, I

guess he didn’t mean it. I don’t blame

him for what he did say. So, Herbert,

come, come! write-again. I’ll stick

by you if I think I should. Probably

this letter will meet Waste Basket

like the rest did, but I’ll try again——





I don’t know very much.





that’s my motto.

Dear Uncle Frank:

Well, have you missed, the wind

from this region lately? I’ll tell you





 





It Looks as'if Jo‘hn Tepold is a Real

Flower Enthusiast;

the reason why. I tried to ride my

horse backward down a hill. He was

-feeling frisky, so hekicked and threw

me. The result was two broken ribs,

one broken collar bone, one sprained

wrist, and one lost temper. ,



Thanks to you who said kind words

about my “slanguage.” Gosh, I stirred

up a hornet’s nest when I wrote be-

fore. Most everybody’s down on me





now.



Well, Guilford Rothfuss, if I “spout”

you “gush.” You said so yourself.

That makes us both geysers. I guess

it was letting off steam, anyway, on‘

my side. Was it on yours?



I never wore a pair of knickers. I

wear overalls. I am daddy’s hired

man, because he pays me five dollars

a week. You see, I have to work for

my allowance. 1



Last summer daddy and I went to

northern Canada to fish. This sum-

mer we are'going to California. Sign-

ing off for this time, Station T-o-m-

' N an odd-looking rocking. chair,





beside the wide window, sat a.

gentleman who was known as Uncle





Frank. He sat with his legs crossed “





folded, reading the





and“ his hands

of a great many





weekly returns

friends. - .



His countenance had {a strongly

masculine cast. His kinky grey hair

was now divided by a well-defined

path, starting from the great wrinkle

in his forehead. His dark blue, daz-





' zling. eyes seemed to give a very de-





lightful glance about the room. As

his eyes were quaintly and almost a





' comically e'xpres'sion.





His mustache was the pink of ven-

erable sweetness. Age, probably in

consequence elf-inordinate precautions,

had left no marks upon his hands. He

had a very light complexion, but dur-

ing the hot days his white complexion

was turned to a light tan. He was a

short,‘ stout figure, dressed in a dark

grey suit, and a very white, starched

shirt. 'His shoes were made of kid

leather, with cushion soles. Uncle

Frank was very quick and spry. When

night Would begin to appear, Uncle

Frank would be seen out taking his

evening walk along the river and in

through the park—Unis Osantoski.





CAN see standing before me, a man



apparently about thirty-five years

of age, of a light, tall, and slender

form, dressed in the plain business-

men’s cloth of the time, his garments

cut with an utter disregard of ele-

gance and fit. - .



His trousers are exceedingly short

and voluminous; he wears wrinkled

socks; his hat is of felt, “one of the

old stamp, with so small a brim that

it looks more like a two-quart measure

inverted, than anything else,” and it

is worn far back on his head; his hair

is white, with a tinge of orange at its

extremities, and it lays thinly upon

a broad forehead, and over a head

“rocking on shoulders which seem too

slender to support the weight of a

member so disproportioned to the gen-

eral outline."



He has big, faded blue eyes, a nub-

bin of a chin, wide, wandering ears,

and a mustache much too large for his

face.-—Cleon Cummins.

Mtu‘d.‘ SMITH C





UT few farmers have their work



so balanced that all the horses



are constantly employed. Usu-

ally during the winter months, the

teams are idle. The work of getting

up the wood supply, marketing farm

produce, and hauling manure, merely

makes good exercise for the work an-

imals. There is a period usually run-

ning from November till early in

March when horses may be fed little

or no grain, thus making possible a.

considerable saving in their mainte-

nance. ‘





During the past year, the Animal

Husbandry Department of the Mich-

igan State College, has been making

tests to determine what saving can

be made in this respect. So, five

teams of horses, ranging in‘ age from

two to ten years, were divided into

two lots of five horses each for the

test. These animals were in good con-

dition for work. The plan was to

carry them through the winter on ra-

tions that would neither increase nor

decrease their weight. The college

men proposed also to find the most

economical feed with which they could

carry out this object. These horses

were not needed for work on the col-

lege farm, inasmuch as enough brood

mares are kept to do the necessary

odd jobs. .





All ten horses were fed a constant

and limited amount of alfalfa hay for

the morning feed, and as much shred-

ded corn fodder as they would clean

up for the night feed. During the first

eight weeks of the test, the horses

were turned into corn stubble and cut-

over alfalfa fields. It was impossible,

of course, to make any satisfactory

record of the amount of "feed that the

animals gathered from these fields.

During this period, however, no suc—

culent feed was given these horses in

the mangers. After the ground was

covered with snow and ice, the horses

were turned in the yards about the

barn for exercise, and were fed car—

rots and silage. Five of the horses

were given corn silage, and their team

mates were given carrots. This was

in addition to the night and morning

fe'ed mentioned above. On these ra-

tions the horses were carried along

until January 26, when ear corn to

the amount ‘of three pounds per head

daily was added. This amount was

gradually increased through the

month of February, so that on March

1 the horses again received a. work

ration.



The results were very satisfactory.

ReduCing Power Costs

With the exception of three two-year-

olds, both lots maintained good health

and normal appetites. These three





colts did not lose much weight, but,





failed to make the additional growth





and development desired in horses of .

, that age. Mr. Hudson, who had charge





of this work, thought probably for the

growing animals it might be desirable

to give a light grain ration through-

out the winter, although he is not

fully settled upon the point since

these colts have responded splen 1y

since going back on a. work ration.



It was the opinion of the experi-

menters that carrots are, pound for

pound, more valuable for idle horses

than corn silage. They also concluded

that while the horses on the above ra-

tions lost somewhat .in weight, the

decrease was not enough to offset the

saving made in the cost of carrying

them through the winter.



Immediately at the close of the test,

four of the horseswere sold. 0f the

six remaining, the weights, after one

month on full feed and work, showed

an average gain per horse of fifty—five

pounds.

responded to an increase in the quan-

tity and quality of the ration fed.



A careful record of the feeds show-

ed that horses can be Wintered on

these cheap roughages and alfalfa hay

at a cost as low as thirteen cents per

day per head. If this low cost can

be maintained on the average farm,

and there is no reason why it cannot,

the farm power expense can be ma—

terially reduced. The college men will

continue these important tests over

the winters of 1927 and 1928.

ENSATIONAL IRIS, the mature

Jersey cow in the herd of Joseph





5W Fordriey, of Saginaw, Michigan re-





cently established the highest 3'05- day

Jersey recOrd that has yet been made





‘ in Michigan, and in addition, she eas-





ily qualified for the gold medal award-

ed by the American Jersey Cattle

Club.



She was started on test at seven

years and nine months of age; and

she yielded 663.88 pounds of butter-fat

and 11,606 pounds of milk in 305 days.

Her milk, therefore, averaged 5.72 per

cent fat for the ten months. Her yield

exceeded sixty pounds of fat for eight





I months of the test. In her best month

, her yield reached 81.63 pounds of. fat.





 





HERE IS A REAL cow.





 





LIFFORD SOUTHWORTH, presi-



dent of: the Cass County. Cow Test-

ing Association, has a Holstein cow

that is certainly a. consistent producer.

For, three consecutive months she has

exceeded seventy-five pounds of fat

and was retested each time.

erage fat production for the three

months was 79.5 pounds, and she is

still going strong.





SUGGESTS BONE MEAL WITH

PASTURE.





 





1TH the coming of pasture, new



feeding problems present them-

selves. Pasture acts as a tonic that

stimulates mill? flow, but in itself does

not contribute the necessary nutrients

to produce the 'milk. The cows “take

the fat off their backs,” so to speak,

and the resulting problem is to feed

to replace this loss, or the conse

quences will be very noticeable in the

late summer when there is quite a de-

pletion of flesh. The ration should

not be as rich in protein ‘as the winter

ration, but it should contain an abund-

ance of steamed'bone meal, more than

the usual winter portion for greatest

economy.



Steamed bone meal is rich in phos-

phorus, and .since pasture, and the

low protein grains fed to supplement

pasture are both very low in this ele-

ment, the bone meal should be fed.





' Furthermore, the cheapest source of





the mineral retention vitamine, vita-

mine D, is sunlight and pasture, and





‘ ‘ since this enablesthem to assimilate





minerals more readily, it is the most

practical time to store up on the nec-

essary substance.



If it be remembered that the aver-

age 1,000¥pound cow uses, with every

6,000 pounds of milk, more lime and

phosphorus than is in her entire skel-

eton, and that the association average

for this month was over 800 pounds of

milk, a rate equivalent to 9,600 pounds

of milk for the year, the necessity for

supplementing minerals would be more

readily appreciated—and experiments

have found steamed bone meal to be





’ the most practical source of the nec-





essary minerals—Nathan Brewe, Test-

er in South Berrien Association.

ent. They were well repaid for their

trip when the system of farm manage-

ment was explained to them, especial-

ly when told how a 400-bushel per acre

potato crop can be grown, the aver-

age for the last two years on fifteen

GUERNSEY BREEDERS HOLD

GOOD SALE.





 





M ICHIGAN Guernsey breeders held

their Second Annual Consign-



ment Sale of registered Guern-

seys on May 27. The sale was held in

the State College Live Stock Pavilion

at East Lansing.



Fifty- s—ix head sold for a total of

$10,625, an average price of $189.75.

The forty-eight females sold for an.

average of $200. 73, while the eight

young bulls averaged $124.



The feature of the day was the sell-

ing of a beautiful ten-months-old heif-

er, Wil-Holm Bonnie 196438, which

went to William A. Fisher, of Roches-

ter, for $500. The heifer was consign-

ed by Robert A. Holmes, of Grand

Rapids. Mr. Holmes bought the dam

of this heifer at the 1925 Consign-

ment Sale. She was sired by Brook-

mead’s Secret King 55816 A. R., a bull

owned jointly by Mr. Holmes and F.

W. Wallin, of Jenison.



The fifty—six head were well distrib-

uted, gomg to thirty-one different buy-

ers. Resig Brothers, Berrien Springs,

were the heaviest buyers, taking sev-

en head for $1, 600. William A. Fish-

er, of Rochester, was the next heav-

iest buyer, taking six head for $2,075.

The Hillsdale County Calf Club pur-

chased four head. Since January the

Hillsdale Club has purchased and put

out over forty Guernsey calves and

heifers in calf club projects.



The top bull of the sale, Brookwood

Jupiter 108818, brought $375 from R.

F. Locke, of Shorewood Farm, Cres-

sey. Jupiter is a yearling son of Cov-

entry Rameses 76829, (the oldest son

of Langwater Eastern King 63072 and

Langwater Vampire 99259, ) and out of

Jessie of Ioka Farm 81579 who recent-

ly completed an A. R. record of nearly

600 pounds of fat in Class A. The

bull was bred and consigned by John

Endicott, Birmingham. »



Bidding was active for the most part.

Noticeabie ' was the fact that buyers

were willing to pay good prices for

the really good stuff. Bred heifers

were eagerly sought, while cows and

WHEAT





The Official report on the condition

of the winter wheat crop on June 1

was 76.5 per cent of normal, a loss

of 7.5 points in the past month. The

forecast of yield is 543 million bush—

elsf‘compared with 549 million bush-

els on May 1, and 398 million bushels

harvested in 1925. The condition of

spring wheat was placed at 78.5 per

cent, the lowest on record for that

date. It compares with 87.1 a year

ago, and a ten-year average for June

of 89.9. Acreage of spring wheat was

not reported, but using the private es-

timates, the forecast Of yield would

be about 215 to 220 million bushels,

compared with last year’s harvest of

271 million bushels. On this baSlS,

the total wheat crop would be about

760 million bushels. Canadian reports

remain optimistic as there has been

enough rain to promote growth. Cash

prices undoubtedly will decline further

as new wheat becomes available in

volume. At the same time the mar-

ket is not likely to be extremely de-

pressed owing to the small reserves of

old wheat and the probablllty that

flour demand and purchases by im-

porting countries will broaden mate-

rially in the next month or Six weeks.





CORN





Corn prices have had the sharpest

rally in many weeks. Speculative buy-

ing was the chief factor in the rise.

Unfavorable crop reports, espec1ally

from Nebraska and South Dakota,

strength in wheat, and spreading be-

lief that corn prices are close to a bed

rock basis have attracted speculative

Cash market conditions are

not especially favorable. Receipts are

large, with the June run still in pro-

gress. Corn is accumulating at term-

inals again after several weeks Of de-

crease. Eastern states are offering

corn at prices below those quoted on

midwestern markets. These condi—





further rise in prices, especially if

the crop does not make favorable pro-

gress, but they will hold advances

within rather narrow limits.





OATS





The condition of the oats crop on

June 1 was 78.8 per cent of normal

.compared with 79.6 last year and a

ten-year average of 86.9. Barley was





' placed at 81‘ against 83.1 last year, and





prevent a ,





an average of 87.4. The condition of





the cats crop was the lowest at this

season in a half century of crop re-





porting.

RYE





The rye crop forecast was reduced

to 41,000,000 bushels in the govern-

ment’s June report, a loss of nearly

10 per cent in the last month .and

about 16 per cent less than last year,

as well as the smallest crop since

1912. European rye crop reports are

less optimistic than in 1925. The com-

ing rye crop is likely to sell much

closer to wheat than in the past year.

The spurt in exports during May has

subsided, so that a substantial stock

of old. rye remains to be disposed of.





SEEDS





Reports on the condition of the seed

crops indicate an irregular situation.

Red clover has made some improve-

ment in the middle western states dur-

ing the past week. The condition of

clover hay on June 1, however, was

estimated at only 70.1 per cent, com-

pared with a ten-year average on June

1 Of 85.8 per cent. Prices on current

offerings Of clover seed advanced on

the reports Of the poor condition of

the crop. The trend of the market

will depend largely on weather condi-

tions after the hay crop is cut.





FEEDS





The downward movement in the

price of wheat feeds has been check-

ed apparently, although demand-does

not show any marked increase. Firm-

er grain markets and poor pasture

conditions are largely responsible for

the stronger tone in feeds. Alfalfa

meal has sagged Off as the new crop

movement is at hand.

strengthened last week, and is well

set for higher prices. Receipts are

decreasing from week to week and the

proportion of fine fresh eggs is dimin-

ishing. On the whole, however, qual-

ity is better than at this time last

June, when temperatures averaged

considerably higher. During the next

three months, the range in egg prices

according to quality, will widen, and

a consistent efiort should be made to

market strictly fresh, infertile eggs if

top prices are to be received. Eggs

are being stored in larger quantities

than at this time la’st year. The short-

The market continues steady, with

a good demand for quality stock. The

supplies are generally small. This

THE experimental cattle. which





were fed‘ at the Michigan State

: College during the past winter,

weresold on Wednesday to the Mich-

Igan Beef Company, by the Michigan





' Live Stock Exchange, at the topfigure





of $11 per hundred pounds.



These calves weighed over the

scales at an average of 837 pounds,

and are classed as prime baby beef.

Their average weight at the begin-

ning of the experiment in November

was 409 pounds, and the cost in the

lots $8.50 per hundred pounds.



Each Lot Profitable.



The calves were fed in three lots

for a period of 195 days. The final

results of this trial indicate little dif-

ference between the plan of self-fwd-

Ing the grain, and more silage. Inns

seed meal and alfalfa hay were fed

to each lot. .With the high price of

alfalfa. this year, the self-fed lot shows

a profit of $7.09 per calf, and the other

lot a profit of $6.81 per calf. ith

cheaper alfalfa hay, or with corn igh-

er than seventy-five cents per bushel,

the second lot shows more profit.



Protein Su plement Profitable.



The third 10 , which sold for $9.25.





. Was fed an entirely home-grown ration





of corn and oats, silage and alfalfa.





The gains dropped to one and ninety--





two ,hundredths pounds per day, as

compared with two and forty-four hun-

dredths' pounds in the self-fed lot,

and two and thirty-two hundredths

pounds in the second lot. They show-

ed considerably less finish, and re-

turned a profit of $1.01 per calf.





COUNTY CROP REPORTS.





Clare 00., June 9.—-Grass is a little

short and corn is still being planted.

There will be a somewhat smaller

acreage than other years. Frosts may

have done damage to the fruit crop.

The cattle population has been reduc-

ed somewhat below normal in this 10-

cality. Spring pigs are scarce. The

lamb crop is better than normal. Help

is difl‘icult to get—J. M. W.



Shiawassee 00., June 8.—Farm.lng

conditions are good—better than the





 





 





outlook was three weeks ago. Corn





is all planted and some fields are be-

ing, cultivated. Only a few potatoes

are in the ground. The high price of

seed will probably out the acreage

somewhat. Beans will be the main

crop this spring. Not much produce

is being marketed. During the past

week weather has been ideal for farm

Work. New potatoes bring $3.60; old

32‘; butter 420; eggs 29@300. Wheat

was damaged by ice. Meadows are

looking well. Hay is selling at from

$12@14. Stock all on pasture—D. M.

Bay 00., June 7.-—The weather has

been COM and wet, making the soil

soggy and unfavorable to rapid

growth. The pig crop was small, and

pasture is not good. There will be an

increase in the acreage of potatoes

planted here. Probably tw or three

times the usual acreage of ans wrll

go in. The hatches of chickens have

been unusually fine and large, and the

lamb crop is good. Hay 18 bringing

820 per ton. Elevators are paying

$4.60 per cwt, for beans, and potatoes

are worth $2.50 per bushel. There is

a normal amount of help—G. H.

Lenawee 60., June 9.—Farmers are

behind with their work. The extra

help in this vicinity is now employed

on state roads. Dairying 18 possibly

slipping back a little in this vicinity,

but poultry raising is on the increase.

Live stock all wintered well, and most

fat stuff has been sold. Wool is rath-

er sldw at 35@38c. Some farmers are

holding for higher prices. Fruits have

been injured some by frosts. Lamb

and pig crops were about normal. The

losses on baby chicks were a little

higher than a year ago—J. R. L.

Calhoun 00. June 9.—-Despite the

character of t season, farmers are

fairly up—to-date with their work. No

extra help isyavailable. A good acre-

age of spring plants has been planted.

A few beans‘and the usual amount of





' potatoes will go in. Dairying remains





about normal. The condition of live

stock is fair. ' Wool brings 360. The

fruit outlook is good. The lamb crop

is about normal. Pig crop 13 short.

Pasture is fair, as are also the old

meadows. New seeding looks good,

but the acreage is short.—-—J. L. D.





Gladwin 60., June 11.-—'I‘he season





' ,5 cold and frosty. Corn acreage will





9 reduced, and the land will be plant-

ed to beans.” Some buckwheat is also

going in.- Pasture is fine. Meadows

are also looking, 00d. Not much seed-

CONDUCTED BY DR. S. BURROWS.





Leaky . Teata—ls there anything

that can be put on, or used for a cow

from whose teats the milk leaks? F.

W.—Dry the teats after each milking

and apply a few drops of flexible col-

lodion to the end of teat.



Chronic Cough—About a year ago

a. mare about twelve years of age con-

tracted a cough. 'At times there is a

discharge from her nose. The trouble

is in her head. The cough is not

steady. She is in fair condition. Have

used local medicines to no avail. C.

E. W.—Take guaiacol. one and one-half

ounces, and raw linseed oil, fourteen

ounces, and give one ounce three or

four times daily. It may also be ad-

visable to apply a liniment to the

throat.



Eye Trouble—Over the eye of a

seven-months-old collie pup a sort of

scum, in the nature of a cataract,

is forming. A similar formation 18

beginning to appear in his other eye.

A discharge comes from the corner of

his eye at times. State cause and

cure. C. McL.——This is probably not

a cataract, but a cloudiness over the

cornea, and no doubt caused by irri-

tants such as dust, etc. Wash the eye

once daily with a four per cent solu-





tion of boracic a d. Afterward apply ,





a small amount 0 a one per cent yel-

low oxide of mercury ointment to the

eyelids.



Lame Cow.——I have a cow that has

a lame foot. The foot has been lame

for some time, although it hasn't look-

ed sore until recently. What can I

do ?—G. F.—-You might have mention-

ed the part of the foot that looks

sore. If between the toes, wash with

a solution of cresoi, or creolin—one

tablespoonful to a pint of water. After-

ward apply powdered bluestone, cover

with absorbent cotton, and bandage.

Renew dressing every three or four

days. Frequently it is necessary to

pare the sole of the foot, to see if

there is not some diseased condition

of the sole or heels. If so, the same

treatment could be used. Keep the

cow in a clean. dry stall.
