are tractors that run steadily, delivering all the power
that was built into them. .

If you want to keep your tractor healthy, have its lubri-
cating needs diagnosed by experts. A tractor is a com-
plicated piece of machinery. There are different makes
of tractors requiring different types of oil. What type
of oil does your tractor need?

It is easy to find out, easy to consult expert lubricating
engineers in regard to your particular problem.

The skilled and experienced staff of lubricating en-
gineers of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) have
prepared a chart which tells the grade of

I l .
I'THE' PERFECT MOTOR OIL

which will lubricate your tractor perfectly. You will
find this chart at any Standard Oil Service Station and
at most Garages. \

Never ask for “Some Oil.” Designate the particular
brand or grade you need. Ordering “Some Oil” is like
asking for “Some Medicine.” When you are seriously
ill, you conSult a doctor. He diagnoses your case and
prescribes the medicine to meet your particular n

The needs of a tractor should be diagnosed by experts
in the same way. '

The experts of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana
have made tests in the laboratory and in the field wi
every make of tractor, under every possible condition.
Polarine in Seven Grades—is the result. It is The Perfect
Motor Oil. Use it and be ‘ certain of the increased
power and profits that healthy tractors always produce.

HE newly established sub-station
of the United States Depart-

: ment of Agriculture and the
. Michigan State College, is located on
- .M-,50 three miles west of Monroe on
, .‘the south bank of the Raisin river.
This station is in the corn berer zone
.and was established there to study
. that insect.
. The station is
’ equipped for this study. The spacious
. old farm house pictured on this page
I furnishes living quarters for the men,
7 and also serves as laboratory head-
quarters. An insectary has just been
completed. Eighteen acres of land is
available for field tests. All the nec-
.esslary farming equipment is also pro-
' .vided. The expenses are met from
the funds of the two institutions men-
' utioned above.
' Doctor Philip Luginbill, of the fed-
eral bureau of entomology, told the
, writer that their first job was to get
acquainted with the insect. Of course,
we know something about it, he
. continued, but apparently we do not
, know enough, or there would be no
- need for giving our time to its eco-

nomic study. We have not learned
' how the pest can be successfully con-
trolled, and until we do, there is ur-
lgent necessity for further acquaint-
ance with the habits of corn borers.

Two assistants of Doctor Luginbill

were going every day into the districts
where the borer has been thriving, to
. gather specimens and to note the ac-

tivities of the .insect. The pupation
‘ was at its maximum last week, and
very few borers were to be found,
‘ having passed the pupa. stage. Frch
these specimens moths will be bred
and their life history closely studied.

The entomolo‘gists will also check up
on the plots of corn growing on the
station grounds.

The crops end of the station activ-
ities is under the direction of A. R.
Marston, who represents the Michigan
State College. Ten acres of plots have
been planted, chiefly to corn. Mr.
Marston explained to us the purposes
of the various plots.

In the first place, there is reason to
believe that some advantage can be
gained in the time of planting the
corn. But no definite knowledge as
to the best time for planting has yet
been determined. To throw light up-
on this matter, corn has been planted
every two weeks since the first of

 

May. These plots are coming on nice-
ly. This fall a count will be made of
the number of borers in the stalks on
each plot, and from that, some idea
can be had .as to the best time to put
in the corn during a season like the
present.

It is also understood that sunshine
destroys the eggs of this insect. The
trouble is that the sun cannot usually
reach the eggs to perform this bene«
ficial task. It is thought that wider
spacing of the stalks in the field would
give the sun 3. better chance to serve.
So another series of plots has been
put in to see if there is a spacing that
will give the maximum of beneficial
results.

Early maturing corn has advantages
over late maturing varieties. At least,
this is the conclusion already arrived
at by those who have been watching
the insect. Breeding plots have been
established at this sub—station to de—
velop early types of corn. Possibly
some of the bitter varieties may be
unpopular with corn borers, and offer
some avenue of escaping the depreda—
tions of the pest.

Another portion of the grounds has
been planted to a variety of farm
crops to learn on which the insect
will breed, and on which he merely
stays for feed. Here is found, sun-
flowers, sugar beets, sorghums, am-
ber cane, sweet corn, potatoes, pop
corn, spinach, lettuce, beans, celery
and cotton.

Parasites from Arlington, Mass, of
the same species as those bred in
Chatham, Ontario, were liberated in
the Monroe territory last year.~ One
of the duties of the station workers
will be to check up on these parasites
to learn if they have survived, and
whether they are preying upon the
borer.

Doct01 Luginbill stated that in deal-
ing with these problems their minds
were open. Somewhere along the trail
of their work, there may be observed
some fact that will lead to a method
of control, if followed up.

While there is nothing at the sta-
tion at this time that will aid in the
mastering of the European corn borer,
it is to be hoped that Michigan Farm-
er readers will note where the station
is located, get acquainted with the
corn borer experts, and, when fall
comes, plan to make a visit to get the
results of the season’s work.

How ”/7: Started and Why lVe are Cammm'fig
By E. V. Root

ANY] articles have been written

on the subject of direct selling
during the past two or three
years, but in reading many of them
it seems to me that some mighty, es-
_ sential factors have not been empha-
‘ sized, and I have this in mind in the
, modest contribution that I am making.
It was about four years ago that we
discovered thatthere were possibili-
', ties in marketing after this manner.
.Previous to this‘ I had regarded road-
,side stands as a joke, and child’s play.
Our conversion to this type of mar-
:keting came about after the following
fashion: Peaches were ripe and it
was Labor Day. Saturday, Sunday
and Monday in the height of the peach
season, there was no market. We had
fruit that was getting too ripe to ship,

and in an attempt to salvage a. little.

" a: it, we set a few baskets out by the

I road Labor. Day morning, and to my

‘ ymy great surprise sold 157 busheis
» " hes that day stay, fair price, and

stocked.

.gxronnd"

next few years to build up a business
that will take care of thousands of
bushels of fruit every season.

There is no doubt that there are
great possibilities in this method of
direct selling, especially in fruit and
vegetables. A much wider market is
secured, produce goes into the hands
of the consumer in better condition,
consumption is increased, and the us-
ual market is less likely to be over-
In addition, if the purchaser
can get more for his dollar in direct

buying, he will be a greater consumer

and we will not hear so much about
this surplus of farm crops.

”‘ It seems to us that the big problem
in‘this connection is the matter of
price, while quality and honesty of
pack are never. to be lost sight of.
What is a fair price? The seller, of
course, is striving to get abetter price
than the market affords, and the buyer
eXpects and demands lower figures
than the city merchants place upon
their goods. Where is the common
.»:'I_'his is our solution of the

question. We are members of a local
exchange. We know just what our
goods are worth on the market. We
add ten per cent to this price as our
retail profit. We believe that the buy-
er has a right to expect, and he gets
the benefit of marketing costs as far
as transportation and middlemen are
concerned.

Again, we are absolutely honest in
our selling. An American philosopher
who was something of a wit, once said
that “honesty is not only right, but is
a good business policy as well.”

We have also found that it takes
good stuff to attract the attention of
the auto driver, and nothing but the
best should be displayed. If we have
goods that are ordinary, they are set
back and attention directed to them
as goods that we are offering for less
than market price because they are
very ordinary. There are always buy-

ers fer this class of produce, but it is

the exhibition of good stuff which
brings us the best customers.
We mark our prices in figures large

enough so that they may be seen as a
person is driving along. We have one
price for all; we are not ashamed of
it and we want people to know what
it is. We think this policy helps to
sell our goods.

Many people would like to buy, but
do not have room in the machine, and
for this class we have parcel post
rates to all places, and know exactly
what it will cost to deliver the pack-
age to their address. In this way we
make sales for future delivery.

When people ask for varieties which
we do not have, we do not attempt to
sell them something just as good, but
direct them to the place where they
can buy what they want, and as they
are leaving we hand them a sample
of the best we have; and, by the way,
we pass out fruit freely to all who
stop. We consider this our best ad-
vertising. I

We are making a success of direct
selhng, and we think it is because We

are offering good stuff at a fair price,_.*;.;:

and are treating the people that etc]?
just about the way we would like to
be treated

DETROIT, JULY 10, 1926
CURRENT COMMENT

NEW supply of

 

Sources water had to be
provided for the coun-

Of try home. The water
Danger looks clear, t a s t e s

good, and seems sat-
isfactory in every way. However, the
owner is having it tested before using
it for drinking. When he knows pos-
itively that there ‘are no typhoid or
other dangerous germs therein, he will
enjoy using it for drinking purposes.

Too much care cannot be exercised
in knowing that the things we eat and
drink are safe and wholesome. Be-
sides water there is another source of
trouble on the farm that requires spe—
cial care. We refer to the milk supply.
One may think his cows are healthy,
yet they may be diseased. Recently
a farm boy developed a swelling in
the head. He was given the best of
care, but in spite of all that science
could do, the child died. After he was
gone, his parents had their herd of
dairy cows tested, and the cow they
thought healthy enough to give milk
fit for the boy, had an udder badly
afiected with tuberculosis.

On this human side of tuberculosis,
Dr. Charles H. Mayo, world-renowned
physician and surgeon, makes a. state-

, ment that should get the attention of
. every parent: He says, “I believe
in pasteurization, but I also strongly
believe in the eradication of tubercu-
lous animals from the dairy herds.
This can be done by careful testing.
The testing should be repeated twice
each year until the herd. is free from
the disease. This is'the only safe way

for children on the farm, where pas~
lteurized milk cannot be obtained. The
_majority of cases of tuberculosis in
the neck, intestines, and abdomen, are

      
  

_ found in children from the farms and
” not from‘the city." : -

Someone else may follow the advise

‘ of the fellow. who says that tuberou-

7193i: cannot be transmitted from the

cow ism #31111: i;
[to take-that -‘ chance.”

So.

have information as to the

the cows from which --'the milk is‘ pres
cured, or we pasteurize the milk. We
shall also have some definite knowl-
edge. as to the content of the water
to be used for drinking.

vT is essential that

The farmers make a
fair living in order

Inconole that ‘food production
Situation and the production of

other raw materials

on the farm be maintained at proper ,

levels. Agriculture is a fundamental
business, and therefore its welfare is
of fundamental concern to the nation.

However, it. is often thought that, in
order to maké‘headway in the affairs
of men, one must go to the city. Thou-
sands leEve the farm to chase the glit-
tering dollars in urban centers; But
instead of chasing after them, these
people usually are being chased for
them. A great portion of those who
go from the farm to the city may be
found living in the congested and un-
favorable sections of the city.

The city does not return in realiza-
tion what it gives in anticipation. Re-
cent figures by Roger Babson. the fa-
mous economist, show that only three
per cent of our population earns
$5,000 or over per year. Those who
earn from $2,000 up, including those
earning over $5,000, constitute only
fourteen per cent of the earning pop-
ulation. The great bulk of our earn-
ers get less than $1,500 per year.
These constitute seventy-two per cent
of all earners, and thirty-eight per
cent get less than $1,000.

An income of $2,000 a year may
seem high to many farmers, but every
cent of living expenses must come
from that, whereas on the farm a good
share of an income of $2,000 could
be put away. Furthermore, it is eas-
ier to get along on the farm if one
has a crop failure, than in the city if
one is out of a jpb‘,” which frequently
happens.

This is not a plea for those on the
farm to stay there, but it is given as
a. word of caution to those who wish
to try their fortunes in the city. The
old adage, “all that glitters is not
gold,” still holds good.

E have traveled

Making a long way on
Coo erat- the road of coopera-
. P tion. It has been
ton GO strewn with wrecks.

Both simple and com-
plex causes have contributed to these
fatalities. Still, the cooperative idea
has made great progress, and today
we seem to have a saner View of this
whole matter than we have ever had
before.

Out of all this experience, an import-
ant lesson has been learned. This
lesson is similar to those learned in
other lines of endeavor. The trans-
portation man, the merchant, the man-
ufacturer, has had to pass through a
stiff course of: training in experience
before their businesses were, more or
less standardized.

The big lesson learned in our co-
operative activities, is that expeerience
or practical knowledge is essential to
the successful conduct of this type of
business. Honesty, industry and loy-
alty are necessary, but they are not
all. With these there must be coupled
a practical working knowledge of all
the things that go to render efl‘icient
000perative service.

Thousands of readers are members
of cooperative organizations. Many
annual meetings ' of these organi-
zation groups will be held during the
next few weeks. These members have
votes, and too often they will. be cast

for certain persons through friendship, ,

rather than because of fitness for the
pesitions to be filled. It is time that

Licences carry freight or bag-

this were true, it would mean that
those owning passenger cars could not
carry a. bushel of fruit, or other farm
produce, or a crate of chickens in his
car. This would seriously handicap
farmers as well as tourists who carry
their luggage and camping equipment.

This rumor has become so 'wide-
spread that it reached the department

promptly issued a statement ‘spiking

NEW method of

A New making soil tests
5 .I known asthe “corn-
0! stalk test,” has re-
Test cently been announc-

ed by Dr. G. N. Hof-
fer, of the United States Department
of Agriculture. This test is made as
follows?

A corn—stalk is split lengthwise. On
the soft pithy tissues :1 solution of
diphenylamine in sulphuricacid is ap-
plied. If a blue color appears, the
supply of nitrogen in the soil is suffi-
cient; if no color shows, and the
leaves and stalks are yellow-green, the
supply of nitrate is deficient. The test
for potash is made by applying a solu-
tion of potassium thiocyanate to the
hard tissues of the cornstalk just
above the joints. A red color indi-
catesan exceSs of iron 5which, in turn,
shows a lack of potash. Phosphates
may be noted by testing the aciditylof
the soil and by observing the size of
the plants. Soil that is decidedly
acid and grows corn that is under-

sized is in need of phosphorus. Suchv

soil also lacks lime.

These tests can easily be made by
farmers. Good farmers have for a.
long period diagnosed their soil needs
by the appearance of the crop. This
test places in their hands something
more definite with which to work. It]
makes possible more exact soil feed-
ing and better balanced plant rations.
It will save us money, for we need
not add some element that is there in
abundance, but supply the particular
plant food required.

This is another step forward in the
technique of farming, making it more
profitable for the thoughtful and indus-
trious, and more difficult for the sloth-
ful farmer.

RECENT investi-
' ' gation shows that

Ins ect .
Yp fires cost the Ameri-
- '0‘.” can farmers around
Buildings one hundred and fifty

millionsof dollars a
year. This places a yearly tax of
twenty-five dollars on each ‘of the six
million farms of‘the country. In spite
of spacial work being done in many
parts of the country to prevent farm
fires, the amount of farm property
being destroyed is continually inoreas-
ing. " _ .4
An inquiry has been" made by the

American Society ”of AgriculturalEn- .

gineers as to the cause cf over" 35,000

This list of fires was found to so. i 0
due to 322 causes, 260 ofvwhichr Could ‘

spection. " , . ,

In other words, eighty-six per cent
of this ’long' list of seriOus fires" can
be blamed, in part, at least, upon fail-
ure to properly inspect the premises
for fire hazards. Certainly this is a.
subject to which farmers can well af-
ford to devote more attention.

 

I F my old friend Bill Shakespeere
' kin write about the nightmares o'
a summer night, I guess I kin. Bill
wrote his in a play, but I’m not, ’éause
this is work. I read Bill’s play the
other day fer some 0’ my summer
ficshun, and I went ta sleep on it, so
I kin recommend it to anybody.

Mid-summer nights is hot ones. It’s
them kinda nights when bare skin is
nearly too hot fer a. coverin’. It’s them
kinda nights when the bed room up
stairs is hot till mid-night, an’ you’re
wishin’ you could
sleep outdoors,
but can’t, ’cause
0" the mosquitoes.
It’s them kinda
nights when you
kin sleep better
toward mornin’,
’cause it’s cooler.
But what chance
is a farmer got ta.
sleep in a nice, cool bed room in the
A. M.? He’s gotta get up‘ and say
“good mornin’” ta the sun when it

 

gets up, and squeeze milk cuts a. cow

for the mornin’s exercise.

After settin’ on the tractor all day,
or followin’ the cultivator, a fellow
ain’t got much time ferffancy dreams.
When he goes ta bed he sleeps, if it’s
coolr enuf ta sleep. If he don’t sleep,
he’s maybe wishin’. There ain’t noth-
in’ in my mid—summer’s night wishes
what’s stronger than my wishes fer a
shower bath. After a hot day’s work,
about‘the only thing in kin do is ta
sponge myself off, pour a. pail 0' water
over me, or take a jump inta the horse
trough. The last would be kinda hard
on the horses, my fellow creatures. 0'
hard work.

But farmin’ is improvin’. We don't
have ta work as hard as they used ta.
in the old days. So, my mid-summer’s
night dream is ta have a farm worked
by electricity. I dream about settin’

oral faults

on the shady porch, drinkin’ pink lem<v

onade or takin’ a. swim in my swim-
min’ pool, while my hired man, E.-
Lectricity, is doin’ the work fer me.

This push button farmin’ll be great ‘V

stuff. The only thing we’ll have ta be
good in is pushin’. We’ll just push a
button ta. milk our cows, to. cultivate
our rope, or ta. harvest ’em. Then
we kin push a button ta. get music
from the air, or ta start our air plane
fer a trip ta the Bermuda. Islands ta.
get a drink 0’ sasprilla, or if we don’t
want ta exert ourselves that much we
kin push a button and see what oth-
ers is doin’ in them islands.

It’ll need lots 0’ push ta. get these

things, but they’re comin’, fer“ I kin
feel .it in the joint 0’ my leftbig toe.

Seein’ aswe ain’t got "em now, we 7 ’

kin dream-about ’em, for 'that isf the
next best thing. [The only thing-I’m.
sorry about is, that I was born too
early for this push button farmin’.

This mixture is applied at the rate
of about ten pounds per acre, being
thinly broadcasted by hand. For some
unknown reason, the grasshoppers,
and particularly the young ones,‘ are
attracted by salt and molasses. There-
fore, mixing the poison with these two
ingredients, the sawdust being merely
a carrier for the poison, and giving
enough bulk for easy distribution,
proves an irresistible lure for the
grasshoppers.

The adult female grasshopper lays
her eggs in groups known as pods, just
at the surface of the ground. The
young hoppers hatch in the spring, but
are not noticed by the farmer until
they are about one-third grown. At
that time they are large enough to be
easily noticed in the field. At this
stage they cannot fly, but are forced
to feed from the ground. They are
also extremely voracious, eating about
one—third their weight daily. Thus if
the poison bait is spread over a field
in which they are discovered, they are

Tallest Farmer Contest

HERE is no doubt that some folks

are built higher from the ground
than others, and to be up in the world
has some advantages, Fortunate is
the one who can look over a crowd,
Who can reach things without getting
a ladder, and can make one step to
what two steps of ordinary folks will
do. A farmer has to use his legs
about as much as anybody. So we
are anxious to learn of those farmers
in the state who are “well up on
legs.”

In order to get this information we
are giving a prize of five dollars to
the one who sends in the picture,

formation of the farmer who is the
most “up in the world.” Three dollars
will be given for the picture and same

USE OF COMMERCIAL AUTO
LICENSE.

HE following is a statement made

by our department concerning the
use of commercial license plates.
There has been more or less of a mis-
understanding in the rural districts
concerning the use .of commercial
plates.

Act 302 of the Public Acts of 1915
as amended by the legislature in 1925,
which defines “commercial vehicle” as
all motor vehicles used for the trans-
portation of passengers for hire, and
those constructed or used for the
transportation of goods, wares or mer-
chandise, might be interpreted as pro:
hibiting the use of pleasure cars for
hauling small amounts of grain or pro-
duce to town, or the hauling of sample
cases, camp equipment, etc. However,
this department does not place that
interpretation on the law. We believe
that a. farmer, or any other citizen,
has the right to use his pleasure car
for the hauling of his own produce to
town, or for hauling other articles of
merchandise for himself, without be-
.ing compelled to purchase a commer-
cial license for the car. We believe
that the legislature intended this par-
ticular section to apply only to those
vehicles used or constructed solely for
the purpose of hauling passengers for
hire, or for hauling freight.

This department will not make any
arrests for alleged violations of this
section of the law, where a pleasure
vehicle may be used to haul produce
or personal goods by the owner.—~Alan
G. Straight, Commissioner; Oscar G.
Olander, Deputy Commissioner, De
partment of Public Safety.

CORN SUGAR BILL PASSED.

 

THE corn sugar bill has passed the
house. It removes all discrimina-
tions as regards the labeling under the
foods and drugs act of sugar made
from corn, artichokes or fruit. It was
argued that sugar made from corn
and from Jersalem artichokes would
in no way interfere with the further
development of American cane and
beet sugar industries, but would sim-
ply supplement these older American
sugars. In the discussion on this bill
the information was brought out that
500,000 pounds of corn sugar are now
being turned out daily, and that’arth
choke sugar has not yet been perfect-
ed as a commercial proposition, but
soon will be. The bill provides that
canned goods, confections and the like
in which corn sugar and the other‘sug—
ars mentioned are used, shall not be
termed to be misbranded for failure to
indicate on the label the kind cf sugar
used.

scheme, knownjas the McNary-Haugen
equalization fee bill, was defeated in

 

Nary-Haugen bill in turn defe ta! the
administration farm relief p posal,
the Fess amendment, by a vote of
fifty—four to twenty~six. Later, with-
out a roll call, the senate adopted the
house bill establishing a division of
cooperative marketing in the depart-
ment of Agriculture, for which an ap-’
propriation of $225,000 is authorized.
The house having already passed this

bill, it now goes to the President, who'

has given his endorsement to it, and
will undoubtedly sign it. ‘

AGAINST COMPULSORY MJLITARY
TRAINING.

 

RESIDENT COOLIDGE is opposed

to nation-wide compulsory military
training. Nevertheless, he believes
that a‘ limited amount of voluntary
training along this line is beneficial
'to the young men- receiving it, provid-
ing physical and mentalvbenefits are
stressed, without the cultivation of a
warlike spirit.

The Welsh anti-compulsory military
training bill, on which hearings have
been held by the house military af-
fairs committee, is receiving much at-
tention. Representativesof the Fed-
eration of Churches have appeared in
its favor. Professor Otis, of the City
College of New York, declared that
compulsory military training in col-
leges is an adoption of the old Prus-
sian system. A student from Cornell
University asserted that students of
the land grant colleges are opposed
to compulsory military training. ‘

WANTS‘rTO LIMIT EXPENSE.

RESIDENT COOLIDGE has esti-

mated $3,600,000,000 as the maxi-
mum which the government may
spend during the fiscal year 1927, be—
ginning July 1, and $3,200,000,000 for
1928. He figures that the present year,
which closes with June 30, will show
a surplus of $390,000,000, but thinks it
would be unwise to further reduce the
taxes at this time, the better plan be—
ing to reduce the government debt.
The budget director estimates that a

a
two per cent reduction can be efiected
by cutting down the number of gov-'
ernnient employes without impairing
the service.

THE NEW COOPERATIVE MARKET-,

ING DIVISION.

 

N the bureau of agricultural eco-
nomics there has been for some
time a division of agricultural.\cooper-
ation, under the able direction of Chris
L. Christensen, with a staff of highly
efficient specialists. It is now doing

a vast amount of research work in 00- .

operative marketing andother lines of
farm cooperation. «It is one of the im--
portant divisions of the bureau. The
new act of congress will give it con-
gressional recognition as a division,
and larger funds with which to carry
on and extend its activities.

TO INVESTIGATE POTASH DE-
POSITS.

 

' - HE bill providing for a joint inves-

tigation by the Geological Survey
and Bureau of Soils to determine the
extent of potash deposits and develop

improved methods of recovering pot-“

ash, has passed the senate and house,
and now awaits the President’s signa-
ture. The interior department reports
that there are now forty-eight potash
wells in Texas and two in New Mexi-
so, and the discovery of potash in fif-
teen new wells in this region has just
been announced. The richest sample
received by the department contained
13.6 per cent of potash, equivalent~ to
21.3 per cent of soluble salts. Of 217
samples from the new wells, 117 yield-
ed more than 1.5 per cent, and eleven
more than five per cent. The ultimate
aim of this investigation is to ascer-
tain if it is possible to make the Unit-
ed States independent of foreign
sources for its supply of potash.

Now comes the new lighter six, Chrysler “60”-one more

accomplishment added to the roll of Chrysler achievements.

All the superiority of Chrysler quality has upset prior
standards in the lower priced six-cylinder field and has
established in effect another new standard for the whole

industry to follow.

60 miles—and more—per hour (Chrysler model numbers
mean miles, per hour); lightning acceleration; Chrysler sym-

’ metry of line-in all its striking beauty; Chrysler phenome-

nal riding ease; the coveted safety of Chrysler hydraulic
fourvwheel brakes; impulse neutralizer; oil-filter and 'air-
cleaner; seven-bearing crankshaft; full pressure lubrication;
roomy, luxurious bodies; and that sound, substantial engineer-
ing construction which in every Chrysler car insures long life.
Never before in the history of the industry have you been
offered so much value for your money.

That’s the result of Chrysler quality. And Chrysler

quality is a known quantity. It means superiority of per-
formance in each respective class, superior craftsmanship,
superior value.

It means, in the case of the new lighter six, Chrysler “60”,

that there isn’t a car approximating its price that can begin '

to approach it in performance, comfort, safety, luxury.

It means that the new lighter six, Chrysler “60” is sensational
in its supreme quality, its supreme value.

Your fncarest Chrysler dealer is eager to' prove this to you.

work out of practical experience;
can be built better with Douglas Fir
wherever lumber is usable. Ask your
lumber dealer. '

a lumber whose serviceability isflety-
high in relation to its cost price be-
cause it lasts for years and years,
even if unpainted.

   
   

For hogs, provide clean, strong quar-
ters with warm, dry wood floors.
Douglas Fir floors are unusually
good insulators against heat and
cold. They are comfortable and long-
wearing, easy to clean and keep
clean, for Douglas Fir does not
readily absorb moisture.

l
l

The strength, beauty and weather
resistance of Douglas Fir make it
the ideal building lumber for sturdy
house framing, handsome exterior
and interior trim, easily operated
sash, straight true doors and rigid
frames. It takes and holds paint,
stain and varnish.

 

 

A Douglas Fir poultry house is

splendid protection against extremes
- of temperature because of the high
stifl’ insulating properties of this close-

’ grained wood. Douglas Fir is easily
cleaned, dries quickly, and its dura-
bility makes your poultry houses cost
you less per year.

PRIVATE LAKE.

 

A man bought and paid cash for a
forty-acre farm, and has paid all his
taxes on it each year. Included in this
forty acres is a small lake. Fish can-
not possibly enter this lake from any
other water, as the outlet is a very

’ small and shallow stream, and is much

higher than the creek it empties into.
The lake is fed by springs on the farm.
No public water enters. Have the own-
ers a right to fish in this lake without
interterence?—M. W. H.

If the lake has any. outlet at all it
is not so manifest that fish cannot
enter and leave it by‘ that outlet. It
would seem that the public would not

have access {to the lake, and could,

therefore be excluded. The owners
would have no right to take game fish
out of season or in violation of the
state law—Rood.

FORECLOSURE OF CONTRACT.

 

I have signed a written agreement,
agreeing to sell a described piece of
land for a certain sum. The other
party paid me at the time of the sign-
ing, $250 cash and agreed to pay the
balance cash on delivery of deed.

The one clause reads: “First parties
agree to deliver to second party, or
his“ attorney, for examination, ab-
stracts covering the above described
property, and it found incorrect, to
pay any expense incurred in perfect-
ing title to this property, and such
correction shall be made as soon as
possible so that this deal can be com-

, pleted not later than thirty days from
‘ date hereof."

I wish to ask if this makes it pos-
sible for me to sell to another party
after the thirty days, or has it been
arranged so my agreement will hold
indefinitely? Buyer agreed verbally to
pay the full amount in about fifteen
days—Mrs. B

In the absence. of specifiications in
this contract as to the time of pay-
ment it would be presumed that the
payment was to be made at the time
the conveyanCe is delivered. If the
purchaser does not pay as agreed, an
attorney should be employed so fore-
close the contract. It would not be
safe to attempt to do so without legal
counsel, nor would it be safe to at-
tempt to make sale to another before
the contract is foreclosed.——-Rood.

 

TAX ASSESSM ENTS.

 

Where taxes have been declared im-
properly assessed against property—
the valuations were different by the
township and village assessors—how
long a time may the assessors make a
double assessment? The assessments
in question were in 1922 and 1923. Can
they now make double assessments?
——B. R. S.

We are not aware of any way as-
sessment can be made at a later time

for the taxes of any preceding year.

A FAMILY AFFAIR.

My son and I bought property and
we were to pay $500 down and $600 in
three years. My son made the bar-
gain with the owner and asked me to
go in and help pay. I said I would
pay half, but they. made out the pa-
pers and came for me to Complete the
bargain, but when the money was to
be produced, my son had only $100,
so I paid the balance, $400. My son
said he would pay $17 per month until
he had paid up the $300 that I had
more than he had in the first pay-
ment. My son moved in this house
and lived there for more than a_year
but has not paid a cent. I paid 31
Now, my son has moved
out and rented the place Without noti-
fying me. Did my son have any right
to rent the house? He has only paid
$100 for it, while I putmore than $900
in it. What should I do in this case?

SHARE OF PROPERTY.

 

A. is a widower who married a. wid- _
ow who owns a, form. A. owns house- ,
hold furniture, and has money in the ,
bank. Each of them have cows
personal property. What share could ,
A. or B. hold of each other’s property -
In case of separation or death? Can
A. sell all of his cows without B.’s per-
mission, or ’keep household furniture
if he left B?——L. H.

The man may sell all of his personal
property without his wife’s consent. If
she has children he would not have
any share of her property upon her
death. Upon his death she would take
one-third, if he left children, and more
if he did not. Neither would have any
rights on the property of the other in
separation, without some decree giv-
ing it.——Rood. ,

 

TRESPASSING H ENS.

We are annoyed by our neighbor’s
hens, which come across the road and
are destroying our crops. What can
we do about this? Must we notify our
neighbor? He knows they are doing
damage. May we shoot them and
throw them back on his land ?——-R. D.

Onerhas no right to kill the animal
of another found trespassing on his
premises; but he may, if he can, shut
it up' and notify the owner to pay the
damages done by the animal before it
is released. For such proceedings it
is necessary to follOw the require-
ments of the statute.

 

 

 

$0M E LEGAL QU ESTIONS.

 

In how many years is a mortgage
outlawed if there has been no interest
or principal paid? What is a widow’s
share in household goods and other
personal property, consulting of farm
tools and stock? On the death of a.
wife, the property being owned by A
joint deed, does the property revert .
directly to the husband, or can the
children claim a share of their moth.
er’s share? Can one having the use
of a place gain possession of it by -
paying taxes on it, the owner having '
no income from the place ?—-B. L. B.

The mortgage outlaws ten years af-
ter the last . payment of interest or
principal is due or paid. The widow
is entitled to one-third of the personal -. _ .
property. Property held by entirety
belongs entirely to the survivor with- ‘ -"
out any probate proceedings, and upon
his death passes as does any of his
other property, or he may dispose of
it by will. A tenant of premises can- 3
not acquire title as against the owner, '
and any title acquired by him will ac-
crue to the benefit of the owner.—

died of this disease, By the-end of
two months four had- died. We gave
on, vinegar, and water, as recommend-
ed by a contributor to the Michigan
Farmer for, blackhead, but were un~
able to save them.

One morning, when the, turks were
about three months old, the last two
were found to be suffering from the
disease. One of them'was very bad,
the other, but slightly affected. We
gave them each a tablespoonful of
olive oil twice, a day for a number of

their drinking water. Both‘ seemed to
improve, and we believed the one

well, but could not suéceed in entirely
checking the disease in the other. Fin-
ally it died, and in a few days the
other was as bad as ever. We began
giving the same treatment as before,
once a day, towards evening; but the
turkey would not get well.

A neighbor had told us of giving
gasoline to chickens for intestinal par-
asites. Believing that if gasoline

germs of this disease, I decided to
give some to the turkey, as it would
surely- die if something were not done
for it. I put about a quarter of a tea-
spoonful of gasoline in the tablespoon
and filledlt up with olive oil, stirring
the two together. This dose. was given
six days in succession, towards even-
ing; then the gasoline was ’omitted
and just the 'oil given three or four
times. During the time we were giv-
ing this treatment, we gave a pinch
of sulphur and some powdered char-
coal on the feed every day, and occa-
sionally a very little camphor. We
put carbolic acid in some of the drink-
.ing water.

The turkey get ,well, but his toes
were curved and hiseyes were affect-
ed. Not being sure whether the ..dis-
ease or the remedy were responsible
for these defects, when a young turkey
weighing» about eleven and one-half
pounds, became very sick with what
seemed to be the same disease, I de-
cided not to give so much gasoline,

fore in the tablespoonful'of olive oil.

KILLINGBUGS BY TICKLIN‘G'
THEIR FEET. ’

 

HIS is not a fairy story, and .the

bugs did not laugh themselves 'to
death, but they really did die because
their feet itched, and they had to die
to save the raspberry crop. Here is
how come.

For some years the raspberry grow-
ers of Berrien county have been trou—
bled by a small, brown beetle about
an eighth of an inch long, Which ate
into the buds and ate out the center,
the part which would develop into the
raspberry. The few berries which es-
caped complete destruction were
' worm'y and deformed. How to control
the bugs became an acute question.
Ordinary spray materials did not give
control, as the bug bored into the bud
away from the spray dope. Finally I
consulted our county agent and he
recommended sodium fluoride silicate.
I tried to get it at the drug stores, but
they had never heard of it. Finally
I did get a little sodium fluoride and
mixed it with the sulphur-arsenate
dust I had been using. It gave almost
complete control.

'I applied the dust with a hand
duster which was geared so that it
gave a powerful blast, and thoroughly
covered the bushes with dust. That
alone might have sufficed to drive
away the bugs, but the sodium fluoride
killed them in a strange manner. In
walking around on the raspberry bush,
the bug got some of the dust on his
feet, this made his feet tickle and itch,
so he relieved his feet by cleaning
them bug fashion, that is, drawing
them through his mouth. \Vhen he
drew his feet through his mouth some
of the'poison came off and he swal-
lowed it, with the result that be im-
mediately lost interest in raspberry
bushes and laid him down to die.

Do not use the sodium fluoride alone
as it may burn the foliage. Mix it
with hydrated lime or fine sulphur.
The dope ought to work fine on pota~
toes, too, and could be applied by
shaking it through a burlap or salt
sack. It sure will kill or drive away
the striped cucumber bug and the
stinking squash bug. Killing bugs by
tickling their feet sounds like a fish
story, but it is a cheap and effective
method. I know, because I raise rasp-
berries and pickles, also a few melons,
and I have been fighting these pesky
beetles for years. Now I have found
out how to, kill them or drive them
away, so I am passing it on to other
sufferers—L. B. Reber.

THE HOME STRAWBERRY PATCH.

/

 

FTER the strawberries have been

set, if of the one—season hearing,
it will be necessary to cut the blos-
soms only once, but if of the ever-
bearing variety they should be out
several times, as they are persistent
bloomers and will quickly start again,
ahd this should be continued until the
plants show strength enough to take
care of themselves. With plants \set
in the spring, this is usually along the
fore part of July. The balance of the
season, the berries are allowed to rip-
en and the first season with the ever-
bearing is usually the biggest crop.
They continue to fruit all summer and
fall, 'until freezing weather sets in. I
picked as fine berries in October as I
ever saw or tasted, and this was after
there had been seine quite heavy
_ frosts.

POTASI-I FOR POTATOES. '

 

How much potash should I apply for
potatoes? I have a fifty per cent pot-
ash fertilizer .—A. M.

In the intensive potato distriCts of
the east and south, an application of
1,000 to 1,500 pounds of a ten per cent
potash fertilizer is considered a liberal
application of potash, and also of the
other essential elements of plant food.
Ten per cent potash (actual) means
200 pounds per ton, or an application
of 1,000 pounds of the complete fertil-
izer would mean 100 pounds of actual
potash per acre. Now, in applying a
fifty per cent salt of potash, 200

Mere moderate applications of‘ a

fifty per cent potash it is not best to
apply too much close to the seed.

QUACK GRASS.

 

I have a nice 'garden plot but the
quack grass has gotten started and is
causing a lot of trouble. How can I
get rid of it?——F. W.

On garden lots there are two gen-
eral methods that may be followed in
eradicating quack grass. The first is
to dig out the roots. This is some-

' what laborious, but is a very effective

method when carefully followed. In
case the area infested .is small it may
be covered with boards or heavy pa-
per and the quack‘ smothered out. It
will be necessary that the boards or
paper covers the area, and a little
beyond, or else the quack will not be
smothered out—C. R. Megee. »

THE WIFE’S SHARE.

 

HAVE read articles in the Michi-

gan Farmer about the wife’s share,
so I thought I would write something
about it, too. I am a farmer’s second
wife. We both have families which
are grown up now. All of the property
is in my husband’s name. I work and
help all I can and wherever I can. I
have raised a lot of poultry of all
kinds each year, and when they are
ready for market the income from
them is either put in the bank or in-
vested in something. I do not get my
share of it. It is the same with the
garden. The things I raise and take
care of are sold and the money is
saved, but I don’t get my so-called pin

money. I have no interest in any-
thing. I have nothing I can call my
own. If I died before my husband, ev-

erything goes to his side of the fam-
ily. Do you readers think that is a
fair and square deal? Where is the
wife’s share for me? I think it ought
to go fifty-fifty when the wife helps by
working and saving. My own children
will be left out if I die first. I hope
some other. readers will give their
opinions of the wife’s share—A Mich-
igan Farmer Reader.

ON TAX REDUCTION.

 

EWSPAPER headlines announce

that President Coolidge opposes
further tax reduction now, and the
suggestion is that he is inclined to be
arbitrary and obstinate about the mat-
ter when government finances would
seem to permit further reductions.
This is a matter on which the people
generally, and farmers in particular,
should be informed and should make
themselves heard.

Reduction of the taxes of the Amer-
ican people just now has a very de—
lightful and fetching sound, and lots
,of people will no doubt fall for it, but
it shduld be understood just what it
signifies. How many of the American

\people, and just which ones in partic-

ular are to be the beneficiaries, and
what will be the ultimate outcome?
The tax to be reduced will, of
course, be that “burdensome” income
tax, and .the reduction is alivays made
“in the higher brackets.” At the time
the last tax reduction measure was
before the United States Senate the
'statement was made on: the floor of

that body that the income tax of Sec-
retary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon
was reduced a million dollars by that
measure. Quite naturally such of the
American people as Andrew Mellon
would favor such a measure. But how
much would such a reduction affect
those of the American people who are
interested in the purchase of alumi-
num ware, which is controlled by the
Mellon interests? An increase in a
tax furnishes an excellent pretext for
an increase on prices of products af-
fected, but a decrease in such a tax

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. ‘

be defined .as‘ the science of pur-
suing happiness Without murdering ' , ; .
people. One may be sure everyone is ‘ I -

stances or environment will permit,

Thus, if so simple a truth was taught , " )'_

of the people in the nation to produce

” REMOVING LIME FROM TANK

" HEATER.

 

. HE writer has had many experi-
ences in removing the lime from

~ fines, and will say that the only suc-

cessful way to get it out and not in-
jure the iron, is to‘take oil, as oil will
preserve iron. Let the water out of
the tank, and if possible, heat it
enough to dry it, but, this is. not nec—
essary, only it would be better. Then
put in any clean oil, a pint will do, or
take lard and melt it and put it in, but
be sure it is warm. It would be better

. to have a little fire in the stove so it

will keep the oil warm, and then fill
the tank with water. The lime is
porous and the oil will penetrate
through to the iron and the lime will
slip,off and then can be removed. The
writer alwaysused this method and

never had it fail.-—C. L. Kimmel.

REPAIRING CEMENT TANK.

 

We have a concrete water trough
which has cracked and is leaking. I
filled the crack with roof paint, and ,it
worked all right until the tank crack-
ed worse -than ever. Am planning on
putting in a heavier foundation and
then put one and one-half inches of
rich concrete on the inside. How can
-I make the new concrete stick to the
old?—O. F. ‘

One way is to take a solution of
one part commercial~hydrochloric acid
to four or five parts of water, brush
the inside of the tank with this, and
let it remain about half an hour, then
wash it off with plenty of water. Then
soak the inside good With water, mix
.up your concrete ofone part cement
to one part sand, stir up some cement
and water toa cream-like mixture, and
.paint the surface, and then apply your
cement plaster at once. . _

Another way is to go over the sur-
face ’with hammer and cold chisle,
then wet the cement thoroughly, and
,then applythe grouting, or wash and
plaster as before. In either case, gal-

~ vanized wire fence, or other reinforce—

ing should be Iused in the concrete

' lining to prevent cracking—D.

WHITEWASH FOR FENCE POSTS.

 

Is there anyway to mix whitewash
so it will not wash‘ when applied to
fence posts 'I—Subscriber.

It should be kept in mind that
whitewash of any kind is of little val-
rue except as a matter of appearance,
and ‘has practically no waterproofing.
”or preservative effect.» For water-
proofing, a good quality of‘ lead and
linseed oil or asphaltic paint should
be used, while for pres’erVa-tive effect
about the only effective agent for
posts is creosote, or some preparation
of coal tar. ' . .1 ,

The addition of molasses, or casein,
or skim—milk to whitewash adds to its

MAKING WARM BARN WALL.

 

. Am planning on building an addi-
tion to my barn for housing additional
dairy cattle, and would‘ like your ad-
vice as to which will make the warm-
est wall: to put shiplap on outside of
studding, then‘ heavy tar paper, then
drop-siding; or to put heavy paper on
both inside and outside of studding,
then shiplap on the inside and drop
siding on the outside, so as to leave
an air space.‘ .Any suggestions will
be appreciated—C. S.

While the double thickness of lum-
ber with tar paper between, makes a
warm wall, there is no question but
what the double wall with the air
space between will be warmer, espe—
cially if the air space is broken up
with mill shavings, sawdust, or other
material so as to prevent air circula-
tion.“ Sawdust sometimes collects and
holds dampness and causes rotting of
the lower sills; and if used, provision
should be made \so that the lower
board can be removed and the saw-
dust removed if found necessary. This
can be done, since the sawdust does
not need to be packed in tightly. Mill
shavings will probably not hold damp—
ness so bad as sawdust—I. W. D.

RADIO MAKES TROUBLE ON
TELEPHONE LINE.

 

We have a rural party telephone
line which connects with Antigo for
central service. One of the patrons
on this line has a radio which he
keeps charged from his farm lighting
plant. He attaches his radio to the
telephone line as an aerial, and also
to use the telephone ground wire. He
has an outside aerial, but gets better
service when attached to the tele-.

phone line.» This interferes with ser—*

vice on the telephone and he has been
ordered from the central office to keep
off the line, but he persists in using
the line, declaring that the radio
makes no. difference; as we had trou-
ble before he had a radio. Will the
radio interfere with phone service?

Whether a radio attached to the tel-
ephone line so as to use the line as
an aerial, and the telephone ground as
radio, interferes with telephone oper-
ation, will depend on how the counec—
tion is made. If the lead-in wire is
connected direct to the telephone
ground or .to/ any ground, this has
grounded the telephone line through
the primary of his set and this will
interfere very seriously with the oper-
ation of the telephonefvery much as
though a receivér is left off the hook
all the time. However, the leadjn is
brought from the telephone line to
one side of ,a condenser, from the oth-

er side of the condenser to the input, .

or aerial post, and from the ground
post to the telephone ground, so that
the condenser is in series with the
aerial, this will work much better than
the way he now has it, and will keep
the radio from interfering with tele-
phone operation. So far as reradia—
tion of power'into the telephone is
concerned, I do not believe that the
potver would be enough ever to be
audible in the telephones. -

If he has anything like a good out— ,

side‘aerial, he is mistakenin thinking

he can get better reception over the

telephone than over his aerial. His
tuning will be extremely broad, and
he certainly can't ._’separate stations

what she .beheld; she knew she

should have heeded the Warning

semi-consciousness of, being
spied upon by a malignant presence;
For a slender, sinuous form, slaty
blue in the shadowy half-light of the
trees, was gliding toward her. It was
a panther, and she shuddered with
sickening dread as all the tales she
had heard of the animal’s cruelty,
when once it was inspired to attack

a human, flitted through her mind.

While her thoughts raced, the panther
was slowly creeping'nearer, its gaunt
body hugging the ground, the long tail
switching its premonition of a leap.
She still stood staring at it, fascinat-
ed by the green-glowing eyes that star-
ed malevolently in return. She knew
what the twitching of its tail meant—
that the big cat was about to leap
forward and in two or three quick,
short bounds would be upon her. For
an instant she sought to use the pow-
er of her eyes to quell its spirit, but
the fabled control of wild beasts by
this means seemed not to work. With
a sharp scream she turned and tied
down the gentle slope of the pasture.
Instinctively she headed for the old
deserted cabin, the idea that she might
,possibly gain it and shut herself in
against the panther quickly occurring
to her. For a brief moment the ani-
mal hesitated; the shrill cry dismayed
it and it shrank back, snarling in an—
gry fear at the sound of the hated hu~
man voice. Its impending spring
checked, the girl was given a start
that was doubtless the margin be-
tween life and death. Then the strong
urge that already had overcome its
hereditary indisposition to attack a
_human prevailed again, and encour-
aged by the girl’s evident fright it
bounded after her. Its slnewy, grace-
ful body curved dyer the ground in
swift pursuit, but Sally’s strong young
limbs were fleet and she flew over the
springy ground like a deer. For a dis-
tance she maintained her lead, but
soon she realized with horror that the
panther was gaining on her.

As she drew closer to the cabin
Sally noted thankfully that the door
was open, swung inward, and hope
arose within her. With this she gave
a spurt and reached the weed—grown
dooryard a rod or two in advance of
her pursuer.

But just as she was about to plunge
through the doorway, she was ap-
palled by the sudden apparition that
rounded the corner of the cabin. A
big black" demon of a bear, with sur-
prising agility for so lumbering a
body, shot toward her with a fem-
crous, menacing cough. She saw its
gleaming savage teeth and evilly snap-
ping red-rimmed eyes as the beast, al-
most upon her, struck out savagely
with its deadly claw-armed forefoot.
But the spurt carried her through the
opening a fraction of a second in ad-
vance of the blow, and she whirled
about and slammed shut the door as
the monster’s weight was thrown up-
on it. Pressing her body against the
heavy split-planks, she felt feverishly
for the fastening, a sudden fear in her
heart that there might be none. But
her fingers fell upon the rude wooden
bar which, by good fortune remained
intact, and she dropped it quickly into
place. Then she sank to the floor,
quivering and shaking with the terri-
ble experience.

Almost instantly there arose on the
other side of the door a raucous con-
fusion of snarls and growls and thrash-
ing bodies. Sally understood what had
taken place; she had not had time to
realize the likelihood of this meeting
of the two pursuers, and the evidence
that her assailants had come together
in battle sent her into a spasm of
hysterical laughter.

Outside the combat raged fiercely.
Seldom does a panther venture to at—
tack a bear, and if the bear has a cub
the big cat will avoid a, meeting with
all possible haste. And the bear, un-

less it is a she bear\ whose cub is
threatened, will evade conflict with a.
panther if evasion is comportable with
her dignity. The bear is‘the superior
of the two in a fair contest, and is
aware of it, but like most of the for-
est wildings much prefers a truce with
its neighbors of nearly equal prowess.

But in this instance the paths of
both animals had converged to a com-
mon point; each was intent solely on
striking down the human who had es-
caped at the place of meeting and
each was inflamed with the lust to kill.
As in the bear’s cub lay the impelhng‘
motive of her attempt to destroy the
supposed enemy, so was the panther’s
own offspring the moving cause of her

her vengeance. The assailant had se-
cured a firm hold on her back, four
sets of sharp hooked claws clinging
tenaciously and sinking into her hide,
while its punishing fangs sought the
channels of life in her neck. -
The bear twisted about impotently,
then rolled over, the better to dislodge
the clutching horror. Her heavy
weight nearly crushed, the breath out
of her enemy’s body, but the panther
was better placed for the deadly work
of her claws, and she raked the bear’s
vulnerable spots with long, eviscerat—'
ing strokes. The bear was by no
means idle with her own deep-cutting
weapons, which tore mercilessly at the
tawny hide; while both infuriated

HOME’SIC'KT

By Lucile Crites

Guess I'm homesick for the country
With its fields of growing grain;

,Where the air is pure and healthy,
Where there’s lots of‘sun and rain.

Where there's time to get acquainted'
With our families, you know,

Where one cats and sleeps at home and
Is not always on the go.

There one eats of country sausage,
From the “smoke house” hung o’er
head,

And one has rich milk aplenty,
From the Jersey, in the shed.

Here, we have our market sausage,
And our milk in bottles, small;

And if we would see our children,
We must make a date and call.

And the air with smoke is grimy,
Oh, I’m homesick, ’most _to death,
For the country with it‘s pure air,
if“
Where one draws a good, clean,
breath.

murderous venture. Fearful of hu-
mans as she was, the short commons
on which she had subsisted since the
recent disappearance of her mate had
made her ravenous for' food. The
drain upon her body by the two al-
ways hungry cubs required hearty
fare for herself, and if she was to sat-
isfy them she must forage more suc-
cessfully than she had of late. Con-
sequently, when the human who she
instinctively knew was the less dan-
gerous of the hated man kind, appear-
ed before her eyes as she noiselessly
prowled the thickets for game, the
pangs of famine overcame her dread.
Forthwith she began a furtive stalk-
ing of the unsuspecting berry-picker.
Had the girl’s eyes not been drawn in-
tuitively to the stealthily approaching
terror, the hunger-maddened animal
would have sprung upon her unawares.
But she had heeded the warning of
her senses in time, and the flame of
the panther’s savagery was fanned
higher by the balking of its purpose.
When the expected quarry darted
into the log sanctuary, and the bear
miraculously shot into View at the
same instant, the panther had neither
opportunity nor inclination to draw
back. The hear was interfering with
her hunt, the unforgivable breach of
law among the wild earthlings, and
she descended upon the hulking black
interloper in a frenzy of rage and dis—
appointment. The hear was taken at
a disadvantage, but turned valiantly
to annihilate this insolent disturber of

fighters were. employing their savage
jaws with ruthless energy.

The bear, being at a woeful disad-
vantage, was the first to weaken. Her
opponent suddenly bored into the re-
laxing neck and with‘ searching teeth
speedily brought an end to the heavier
animal’s resistance. The bear col"
lapsed in a sprawling, inert black
heap, and the victorious cat stagger-
ingly withdrew from her vanquished
enemy. The object of her chase for-
gotten, she~dragged her lacerated body
away from the battleground, and
slowly and painfully crawled in the
direction of the den where the two
hungry cubs awaited her return. The
same wild mother-love that had been
the underlying cause of the tragedy
alone sustained her; but the desperate
effort was doomed to fail before she
could even reach the shelter \of the

burnt hills.
H ferocious jailers fought just out-
side the door of her refuge, Sally
glanced about the cabin for something
that she might employ as a weapon
in case of need. But nothing offered.
She wondered if the victor would try
to force an entrance, and how soon
the fight would end. One or the other
of the animals must soon succumb in
the grim contest, the sounds of which
betrayed the implacable fury with
which they fought. The door looked
none too secure, .for the hinges were

herf predicament; doubtless "he 5 was

easy over her absence.

Several times the struggling animals
brought, up against the door,. which
creaked ominously with the impact;

and once Sally's heart came up into
her throat. as 1a,, particularly violent
crash caused several - of the decaying
wooden pegs of the fastenings to snap _
under the stress. She leaned her
weight against the bulging planks and
held the bar in place with her hands.
The door withstood the shock, and
shortly the danger passed for the mo-
ment. as the wildly agitated bodies
rolled away. . -

The. sounds of conflict gradually
diminished in fury, as the minutes
passed, until the listening girl Could
hear only the low grumble of worry-
ing jaws. Finally Sally’s straining
ears heard a gurgling, choking sigh——
and then quiet. Now her fear rose
again as she wondered what might
next transpire. Apprehensively she
set her gaze on the window through
which she half expected to see a fierce »
head appear as. the victor inexorably
returned to its first quest.

But a faint call came through the
window instead. Sally’s heart beat
faster with joy as ”she recognized Jeff's
voice. Then a new dread assailed her;
perhaps Jeff would, all unwarned, run
into whichever animal it was that had
survived, and would be attacked by
it! Ignoring the danger to herself in
drawing the beast’s attention, she ap-
proached the window and screamed a
caution to Jeff, whom she could now
discern running across the pasture to-
ward the cabin. Her voice drowned
out his own shouts as he, raced toward
her, either failing to hear her warn-
ing or choosing to ignore it.

He was without any weapon of de-
fense and the danger into which he
came plunging with great unheeding
strides. filled her with misgivings. A
feeling that was more than anxiety,
more than admiration, surged into Sal-
ly’s heart. Under its promptings, she
turned swiftly, lifted the bar of the
door, and throwing it open ran out to
meet her man, to share with him the
peril he was braving for her sake.
She almost stumbled over the dead

  

bear, which meant- that it was the
panther they had to fear. .
A joyous shout greeted her. Jeff

bounded forward and gathered her to
him. For a moment she struggled and
tried to tell him of the danger that
lurked about, but he quickly reassured
her. As the truth dawned upon Sally
she quieted in his arms, and he held
her close, this time as though by
right. Into the eyes of both slowly
there crept an understanding that
made unnecessary the halting words
Jeff had been about to utter when the
buckboard collapsed, a pledge as ir-’
revocable" in the minds of these two
as any ceremony. , _
Happy and unabashed they stood
holding each other’s hands as Sally
detailed her experience and Jeff ex‘
plained his coming , ,-
“I feared fer you, Sally, when I saw
where you dropped the mess o’ straw-
berries ,in the pasture. I’d come over
to find you when I got back to the

I shouted an’ looked all about, and

They say
I,
(‘fussy ))

WELL, let that go. I’m ready to admit
that so far as pipe tobacco is concerned,
I’ve got ideas. And if insisting on a
tobacco that won’t bite the tongue or
patch the throat is "being fussy,” you
can write "guilty” alongside my name,
and I won’t even appeal the charge.

I can’t speak for anybody else, but
personally I smoke for pleasure! So I
smoke Prince Albert. I’ll say I do. Right
after breakfast, on up until I switch off
the light for the night. Pipe-load after
pipe-load. Day after day. Prince Albert
treats my tongue as gently as a mother
handles a brand-new baby.

They tell me it’s the Prince Albert
process that cuts out bite and parch. Fair
enough. I’ll testify before the well-
known world that P. A. is the coolest,
sweetest, most genuinely friendly smoke
a fellow can get on this planet. You sus—
pect that the minute you throw back the
hinged lid on the tidy red tin and get a
whiff of real tobacco.

Now, I’m telling you to be fussy about
your smoking. Many a pipe-smoker has
fooled himself when he should have been
soothing himself with P. A. I say it pays
to be fussy about anything that means
so much to a man. What do you think?

—no other tobacco is like it!

no doubt of his ability to conquer any-
thing that threatened. “DOesn’t sound
though. Don’t be
He studied the plaintive cry
intently. His forest-trained ears quick—
ly identified it. “It’s a young ’un, most
likely a. bear cub. Let's look.’

“01? course,” remembered Sally. “I’d
forgot about the cub I see with the
mother hear when I first got to the
pasture. I wonder Where it can be.’

Together they searched to locate its
hiding- -place. The whimpering calls
finally drew them to the well, and

looking down they saw the imprisoned .

baby bear.

”The poor little thing ” said Sally,
compassionately. "It’s frightened to
death.”

“Yes, an’ that explains why the old
she bear went for you so savage, ” Jeff
enlightened her. “When she heard you
a-runnin’ toward the place she jest
naturally thought ’t was you dug the
hole to ketch her cub an’ was comm’
to kill it. Lucky you got in when you
did, Sally," he added huskily. He
knew something of the fury of a moth-
er bear when her cub is endangered.

“can’t you get it out, Jeff?” asked
Sally. “We mustn’t leave it here to
die.”

“0’ course; but I’ll have to get a
rope an’ someone to help I’m curious
about that panther, though; let’s have
a look at it Wt.”

They folio d the bloody trail of
the animal until they came to where
it had fallen in its tracks. The stark
tawny form showed grim proof of the
punishment its adversary had inflicted,
and the wonder was that the big cat
had dragged its sorely wounded, weak-
ened body so far. In the gaunt flanks
and the evidence of its motherhood
the woodsman’s eyes read another
chapter of the tragedy.

“An’ new I understand somethin’
else,” he said. “’Tain’t often a pan-

. d had a ened to you, with

enough food fer herself an’ them. It
must ’ve been her mate Sam Hitch-
,cock killed a week back. So now
there’s a couple 0’ young ones that
won t never grow up to kill sheep. ”
‘ “But, oh, Jeff, we can’t let those
poor little kittens starve!” Sally’s
blue eyes /grew tender with pity for
the helpless cubs that doubtless were
even now feeling th pangs of hunger.
Before her supplicating gaze Jeff's
practical point of view underwent a
change.

“I reckon I’ll have to hunt ’em out,
Sally, if you say so,” he Said indul-
gently. “But first thing to do is to get
you ’home to your ma; she’ll be worry-
in’ about y.ou Then me an’ ybur pa
can come back with a rope, an’ I'll
fish out the bear cub an’ then back-
track the panther to her den—what’ 11
I do with ’em all, Sally; kill ’em to
save their lives?” he grinned.

Sally was nonplussed fo1 a moment.
She hated the thought of having three
innocent, cunning little wild babies
killed, even if they were of the “van
mint” kind. But, of course, it wouldn’t
do to turn the barnyard into a menag-
erie; her father would have objec-
tions. Then her face brightened and
she beamed a shy smile at her stal-
wart lover.

“We could sell ’em to that collector
0’ wild animals for circuses who comes
around, Jeff, an’ buy a lot 0’ nice homy
things.”

Sally paused, blushing pinkly.

“You bet we can!” agreed Jeff, de—
lightedly, admiration for the clever
thought shining in his eyes. “You got
a wonderful little head, Sally.”

Jeff’s delight was more for this
spoken proof of the wonderful new re-
lationship between them than for the
material aspect of Sally’s plan; but he
added- a. suggestion of his own: '

“Don’t fergit that we got a bear-skin
rug fer the house already, Sally. Pity
a panther hide ain’t any good in sum-
mer-time; we’d have our floor nigh
covered! He kissed her glowing
cheeks.

“Let’ s hurry back to the load so ’s I
can start early on my collectin’ -trip,”
he proposed; and hand in -hand they
raced happily across the wild- straw-
berry-matted pasture.

THE END.

 

 

 

HOW ‘ABOUT VACATION?

 

IME to be figuring on a little
vacation, isn’t it? There was ,a
day when no farmer‘ ever

If he made a trip it was to attend a
funeral, settle up an estate, do some
buying, or look over new territory.
But we have proved that vacations
pay, even for the farmer. They help
you to enjoy home better, they give
you a broader outlook on life, they im-
prove health.

Most of us will use the old family
bus on vacation to save railroad fare.
Perhaps we shall stop over night at
tourist camps. Don’t forget that such
camps are now inspected by the state
health officers all over the country.
By making a little inquiry before you
start you can map out a route that

" will bring’you every night to an in-

spected camp. This means safety.
Don’t take any ,chances with camps
that are not inspected and approved.
Some places still maintain excellent
tourist~camps free of charge, provid—
ing all requirements, including an at-
tendant. Others make a small charge,
generally fifty cents per car per day.
Unless quite positive that the free
camping place- is kept in first-class
shape, your better plan is to choose
the one where you pay the fee. It
gives you a better guarantee of ser-

with tight covers, which must be emp-
tied daily. You can readily see that a.
class A camp is worth the money.
Class B may be very good, too; but
it may lack home advantages. Instead
of flush toilets it may have outside
privies, fly-screened and kept clean.
There must be a clean kitchen, but
coal or wood stoves may be furnished
instead of gas. There will be an at-
tendant, but not on duty the full time.
However, the water must be tested by
laboratory, and everything must be
clean. «

SHREWD feeders know that it is real economy to turn feed, not the cow,
into milk. It is easier to keep milk production up, than it is to regain it after
it is lost. If you keep a cow on grass alone she must supply from her own
body hose vital milk elements which grass lacks. As a result she loses weight,
and when her body reserves are exhausted, her production goes down. Then,
when winter comes, it takes a lot of feed to build her body reserves up again,
andia lot more to get her back onto full production. Hundreds of feeding ‘
tests have proven that -

. T is well to study the characters of
great men. “Lives of great men
all remind us—" we used to recite

when we were little." I should think
that any farmer would derive much
encouragement from “Our Farming,"
the autobiography 0f_T. B. Terry. I
have read it several times. As a gen-
eral thing, I' believe that biography is
more honestly written today than it
was3 years ago. The writer is more
likely to tell the truth about his hero.
For instance, take Strachey’s life of
Queen Victoria. 'He tells many pages
thatino one ever heard of before, or at
least, most readers have not. Well,
the Bible is remarkably candid in de-
scribing its heroes. Moses is no excep-
tion. His failure at a critical moment
is not passed over.

Study the life of this man. His
early life is wrapped in the dramatic.
" . Things were go-

ing hard with

Hebrew babies.
. Orders from the

government had

been issued to
kill off every baby
boy, so as to re-
duce the Hebrew
population. This

babe’s m o t h e r ,
{looking down i]: ~ his innocent eyes,
determined to save him. She used
her . wits. Preparing a home—made
cradle that wguld float, she put it
among the reeds on the Nile, with his
.sister to watch it. Comes shortly the
iprincess to bathe in the‘ river, hears
the crying of a baby, and finds the
cunning little cradle. Moses knew ex-
actly what to do and hexdid it. He
:cried. The young lady was taken with
the handsome little chap, so round and
cute, and she brought him ashore.
Then comes sister. She has wits, too.
Probably it was Miriam, who later fig-
Iured so largely in the Exodus into
Canaan. Coming up at that instant,
she asks if her royal highness would
like someone to care for the child,
then runs and brings his mother. Thus
there is now" royal protection, wages,
and happiness such as the plucky Heb-
rew mother had not—dreamed of.

Providence must have had a hand in

been fortuitous? God was preparing
a. man.

Mortality was high among the Heb-
rew children, but it is doubtful if it
was any higher than among many
vmodern children. Before the war, says
Professor E. A. ROSS, of the University
of Wisconsin, a quarter of the babies
of Hungary and Russia did not live a
year. In Chile a few years ago, a
third of the babies died their first
year, and in some cities forty-seven
per cent. In Moscow, in 1905, half of
the babies failed to live a year, and in
one province in China a missionary of
long experience said he did not think
that over twenty per cent of the chil-
dren lived two years.

Moses’ day was not the only time
when being a baby washazardous. Ap-
ply that idea now in the moral world.
Every child in Michigan runs a hazard
all the time, in every way. A physical
risk, for children are killed by the au-
tomobile every day. A moral risk, for
temptations both gross and refined are
put in the children’s way constantly.
To guard the welfare of his children
is the parents" most pressing respon-
sibility. We do not want physical
wrecks, we do not want moral wrecks,
we do not want funerals of body, mind
or soul. Being a baby in Moses’ time
was not much more risky than it is in
many communities with which we are
acquainted. Moses’ mother needed the
God of Abraham to help her solve her
problem, and modern parents need the
same God.

Some Suggestions to Brides

T lze A B C of Vztamzm For Feedmg a Balanced D2611
By Doris W. McCray

HOSE of us who have planned
meals for years are doubtless

“fed up” on this idea of vita-.

mines, but each year new housekeep-
vers are joining our ranks who have
been thinking about book-keeping or
history or astronomy, rather than
foods. The amount of vitamin needed.
has never been reduced to mathemat-
ical lists, so that we cannot estimate
amounts as we “count our calories,”
therefore the wise plan is. to have
abundance in every meal.

Deficiency in vitamins means lack
of growth in children, and lack of pep.
Rickets, a disease of infants, charac-
terized by impaired nutrition of the
entire body, and alterations in the
growing bones, is so common that cod
liver oil and sunlight are recommend-
ed for every baby, and growing child.
Other sources of this vitamin are
cream, cheese, butter, egg yolk; and
it is found in smaller amounts in green
leaves, as lettuce, spinach, cabbage,
and in the embryos of seeds, also car-
rots, and sweet potatoes. Lack of this
vitamin in diets of Roumanian or-
phans resulted in an eye disease
which was cured by doses of cod liv-
er oil.

This first vitamin is found in fats,
and is called fat-soluble A. It is gen—
erally found together with the yellow
color, as butter or carrots, and is ab-
sent in' lard, olive oil, and the salad
of oils.

Vitamin B is water soluble, and its
absence in the diet produces beri-beri
or neuritis, a disease in which the
nerves are affected. Yeast is a rich
source of this vitamin, as are the out-
er coverings of grains, skim—milk, and
orange juice, and nearly all fresh
fruits and vegetables. White flour is
entirely lacking in it, but graham or
whole, wheat flour is a rich source, as
well as a cheap source. if you do not
like brown bread, you can make up
the difference by eating plenty of fruit
and vegetables.

Scurvy was described by Stefanson
on his Arctic expeditions. The first
symptom was laziness, irritability,
tiredness, followed by loosening of the
, teeth, swelling and recession of the
gums, and aching joints. This could
be prevented by dosing lith lime’
juice. Anti-scorbutic vitamin, water
soluble C prevents or cures this dis—
ease. Infantile scurvy is treated with
fresh unboiled milk and orange juice.
Grapefruit, lemons, tomatoes, fresh
fruit and vegetables are rich in this
vitamin. Lack of still other vitamins
cause pelegra, and sterility.

Brown bread is rich in vitamins,
lower in price than some other vita~
min—rich foods. Cornmeal that spoils,
gets wormy and rancid in hot weather
is best, for it contains the germ, the
whole corn. It is rich in vitamin
which will maintain life (that is why
it will get wormy). Highly refined
cornmeal that will keep for years, is
a vitamin—deficient food.

The thinnest, greenest, youngest,
crisp leafy vegetables are most valu-
able. Thicker, whiter leaves, as cab-

Drying, storing, evaporation, and
canning all destroy part of the vita-
min content, though these foods are
still valuable. The cooking- should be
as’short as possible. Immature vege-
Stables are better than old ones.

Vegetables should be cooked quickly
in- steam, with kettle covered, saving

in the cooking. BroWn sugar,

all of the liduid for soup, as vitamins.

as well as mineral salts dissolve in
water, and should not'be thrown away,
any more than you would throw away
good meat stock.

Fresh, uncooked, acid fruits are the
best, but canned ones have their place,
too. Use plenty of citrus fruits, and
others for variety. Pineapple and to-
matoes are especially rich in vitamin
C, and the acid seems to protect the
vitamin against destruction during the
heating of canning. Citrus fruit peels
are good, and may well be candied or
used in marmalade.

Milk is best. raw, clean and fresh.
Pasteurized milk is safe, and boiling
may even be necessary if cleanliness
is questioned, but this lowers vitamin

'I'hose'foods are nearest invitamins
which have been refined in milling,
dried or preserved, while our best

foods are raw, or cooked a short pe-.

riod, just as nature manufactured
them. . " ,_ -

a day, used in cooking or any dishes
prepared with milk (a quart for each
child), salad greens at least once a
day, or better- twice, as lettuce, en-
dive, spinach, Chinese cabbage or cel-
ery. One other green vegetable, such
as string beans, asparagus, peas or
sauerkraut, may be used in place of
the salad green. Besides two green
vegetables a day (including salad),
have one other vegetable besides po-
tatoes, and fruit one or two times a
day, also butter forethe table, fresh
cream for the coffee and cereal, and
an egg for each person, probably used
maple
sugar or honey are slightly better
than white sugar. Potatoes are best
cooked in their skins (and eaten thus

‘if baked), and they are better than

macaroni or white rice. Milk, mac-
aroni, and brown, rice contain the
much sought vitamins.

This does not mean you can never
use vitamin-free foods, as white flour,
white sugar, vegetable oils and lard,
,tapioca; on vitamin-poor foods, as can-
ned beans, and dried corn. It merely
,means that each meal must contain
a little of the vitamin-ricf‘foods, to

make up for other foods that are per- ‘

.feotly ‘wholesome, but poor in vita-

mins.

Have a monthly “household equip-
ment” day and see that kitchen and
carving knives are sharpened, sewing
machine oiled and cleaned, carpet
sweeper brushes adjusted, squeaky
hinges oiled, and other such jobs at-
tended to. It is a comparatively short
job to go the rounds, when one has oil
can and tools in action.

SICK-ROOM SUGGESTIONS.

 

O save the hands when hot cloths

are needed for the pomfort of the
patient in the sick room, use a potato
ricer to wring them out.

If shaved or, chipped ice is needed
often in the sick-room, make use of
the thermos bottle. Fill this with the
bits of ice, set it within reach of the
patient, and it will save many steps.

 

ON TIME MEANS MONEY.

 

E had been leading the rather

careless, but wholly pleasant
life of the average American couple,
until the advent of Junior'wakened us
to the fact» that sometime there would
be college expenses to meet, that we
would want to do for him at least .as
much as our parents had done for us,

and that the thing to do was to start -

a fund for. him during the very first
weeks of his life. '

We knew that saving all the dimes, ‘ ’
all the nickels, all the money of a cer— _
taln date had been tried but thathfi "

the .1111

 

.double boiler for five minutes.

the date of each coin received, might. - x .-
it seemed to us, be put to much bet- ‘ " ~

ter use. ,

Then came the inspiration. We had 'V

been careless in the matter of when
bills, taxes, etc, were paid; we had

ignored percentages, offered as the rep

weird for thrift and promptness. But

like the Raven .we. said, ‘Z‘Nevermoreffl

Our taxes were paid at the first pose
sile moment f'and what we saved over
a last-hour payment went into Jun-
ior’s college bank account, as did the

v

bonus for paying all other bills 011‘

time.

We had been guilty of a charge ac-
count at the grocer’s and the butch—
er's, and we“ took up the matter of
cash every Monday. and found that
we could get a small per cent off each
bill We asked the dealer who offered
us a "forty dollars down and five dol-
lars a month” proposition, what he
would take for cash, and it was then
that we‘made a really worth while ad-
dition to the savings account.

Junior is still in grammar school
but, counting compounded interest, "we
already have the question of college
expenses solved, and, we’re now in-
creasing his bank balance to cover his
first year in business or professional
life. —-Mrs. L. M. T.

 

SAVES ICE AND STEPS.

 

AVE an oilcloth-covered stand,
small table, or tall box next to
the refrigerator. When preparing a.
meal or clearing away a meal, use this
table or surface to assemble supplies
being taken out of the ice chest, or to
be put in it.
Plan to open the ice chest only once
or twice at most—swiftly taking what
is needed out, or putting in what is

to be stored. The open cover or door, .

lets out a rush of cold air, and lets in
a rush of warm air. The ice is wast-
ed and the temperature raised to the
point where food is not kept at its
best.

Watchfulness in keeping the- refrig-
erator door latched tightly, will also
.‘save ice.—-—-Mrs. E. M. G.

tourist-"camps are 'showing their

, usual signs of_activity. It "is interest
ing -.,to “drive: through one of these

camps in the late-afternoon, even if
you are not going to stay there your-
self. .Such activity!——tents being.
pitched, il‘res kindled and water car-
ried from the community supply.

Many of these camps are under the
supervision of the city, and the water
is pure. In others, the water may not
have been tested. Typhoid is ‘ the
"cause of many summer illnesses, and
even death. Don’t run any chances of
drinking impure water. If the supply
is not guaranteed, play safe, either by
boiling it or by killing all germs by
chlorination.

The head of the department of
health in ‘one of our large cities gives
the following instructions for making
water safe for drinking:

Take one, heaping spoonful of bleach-
ing powder, chloride of lime, put up
in metal containers (this is not lye,
which is a poison), and dissolve in
one quart of water. Add the water, a
little at a time, until the powder is
nearly all dissolved. Place this solu-
tion in a stoppered bottle and keep it
tightly corked. This is your stock
solution, which will keep for two
weeks.

Add one teaspoonful of this stock
solution to a gallon pail of drinking
water, stir so as to mix thoroughly,
and let stand for thirty minutes. All
typhoid and other disease-producing
germs ordinarily found in water will
be killed, making the water perfectly
safe to drink.

Don't be afraid that this chemical
will hurt you. Detroit, New York City
and hundreds of other cities in the
country treat; their water supply in
this manner.——Barhara B. Brooks.

TREATMENT FOR DRAIN BOARD.

 

- I am to have a new sink and drain
board. The drain board will necessar-
ily have to be of wood. I do not care

 

 

to chip off. Can you tell .me

that it. will not become stained?—
Mrs. T. C. ’
‘ If you prefer to 'have the drain

heard of a wood finish instead of cov-

ering with {zinc of tin, see that the
board' is thoroughly cleaned, sandpa-
pered, and dry. Then brush the board
lightly with melted paraffin, using
either a soft cloth or a brush. With
a warm, not hot, iron, iron in all the
paraffin the woOd will absorb. Wipe
off the rest and when the surface is
cool give it‘two coats of a good spar
varnish. Ordinary kitchen stains will
have little effect on this surface;

'To RESTORE LINOLEUM.

 

I have linoleum on my kitchen floor.
The pattern is badly worn off in some
places, but the linoleum is quite good

yet. Can you tell me if I can paint

this all one color?—-—Mrs. K.’ S.

Worn linoleum can be painted.
.Scrub the linoleum with soda water,
and when thoroughly dry, give it a
thin coat of ground color paint. ,Then
paint with a dark oak color and var-
nish with a good spar varnish.

TO WASH WHITE CORDUROY.

 

My little girl has a white corduroy
coat. Can you tell me how to wash it
so that the pile will not look crushed?
«Mrs. I. G.

Wash the corduroy in a warm, mild
white soap suds. Rinse by holding
the garment‘under running water for
a few minutes. Hang on the line drip-
ping wet. It is best to choose a windy
day for this kind of washing.

GOOD CARPET CLEANER;

I would like to clean my carpet. What
can I add to the Water that will take
the dirt out easily ?—~—Mrs. G. P.

You might dissolve two bars of
white wool soap inc. quart of water,
add it to five gallons of warm water,
together with four ounces each of
soda and borax. Just before using, add
four ounces of sulphuric acid. This
is a most excellent carpet cleaner. Use

we will probably be called- upon to
help solve in a. few years are, “Bad
conditions in tenement districts,” “en-
forcement of prohibition,“ “elimina-
tion of crime,” and just loads of oth-
ers. Let’s discuss them. , _

I will close now, forif I kept on I
could write pages and pages and nev-
er get anywhere.-—Melba Sutton, M. C.

 

Our friend, Vic, wrote about sweet-
hearts. He had some very good ideas,
but I believe we girls should be just
as careful' about our boy companions.

Boys who smoke, and use bad lan-
guage, or drink intoxicating liquOrs,
and do not uphold the laws of our.
country, certainly will not make’kgood
husbands. , _

Someone has compared our life to
a book, which is white and stainless
when we begin life, but each day that
passes we write upon it. If we do
things that are wrong, they will al-
ways stay‘ in our book. So friends,
let us all try to have a clean, pure
record that 'in years. to come we will
not blush at and feel ashamed to look
at it.

Remember, that though our paws
seem old-fashioned when they give us
advice, they have been over this road
and are trying to make it easier
for us

I am sending a small bit to help get
the radio. Cousins, just try and think
how you would feel if you couldn’t
walk. I really can’t imagine what it
would be like. I' believe, instead of
wishing for the things we haven’t got

.we should be very thankful for what

we have got. Instead of grumbling.
about the storm, let’s be thankful for
the sunshine.

When we haveatask to do, let’s not
tell how hard it is, but do it, and then
spend the rest of the time telling how
easy it was. I’m sure if we do that
we’ll find life happier than before.—
Your Cousin, “Wildflower.”

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

During noon hour, our mail man
passed and left the Michigan Farmer.
Miss Betty Ann turned up a nice sub
ject, and since you are between two
fires, let me express my opinion.

I think a club of “above eighteen”
would be real nice. If they’ll keep
within boundary lines. Supposing you
give the club a tryout and draw a
deadline on certain subjects. I am
just wondering what Miss Betty "Ann.
calls “right kind” friends. Though
her seven reasons are worth thinking
over seriously, I’m for them, but let’s
see what the rest of the M. C. thinks.

Uncle Frank, I don’t quite get the
drift of the Merry Circle Clubs. Are
there dues? I’m a little too old, if I
may use Betty Ann’s expression, for
this page, having twenty odd summers
to my credit. Please, Uncle Frank,
think this eighteen and over club ser-
iously. ——Hoping—to—benephew, Phelix
Plekes, Jr.

I’m glad to get your opinions on the
over-eighteen club idea. I’ll have to

‘ Uncle Frank, although I’m a girl, I
don’t disapprove of the beys using to-
bacco at all. Some of the boys here
near my home chew tobacco every day
in the week, but Sunday. Their fath-
ers encourage them to do so. There
is a reason, of course, and that is that
these certain boys under the age of
twenty-one, bale hay, and the tobacco

helps in not letting the boys swallow'

the dust that is in the old hay. But
~ when it comes to smoking just for the
fun of it, I think it is disloyalty to this
country, for no smoker is a really good
citizen.

Why, Elsie Ellis, I think you are a
little bit rude in stating that we girls
possibly Cannot state anything nice
about the boys. There are kits of nice
things I can say about the boys in
our country. They are very generous
in helping people in trouble, such as
fixing some machinery for a woman
Most of the men here are sailors,
therefore the Women take care of the
farm alone. .

I never hear the boys speak rudely.
They are always kind to the old folks,

and many 8. ha py hour is spent here ’

with the neigh ors’ boys. They are
always so joky and jolly. So here’s
one that can say at least five nice
things for the boys. ——Christine Zeck,
Algonac, Mich.

Why wouldn’t gum chewing serve
the same purpose as tobacco chewing,
and be less harmful? A‘smoker is
not necessarily a disloyal citizen. I
am glad you find good qualities in
boys.

 

Dear Uncle Frank:

I am sending another “little bit” for
the radio. It isn’t much, but you know
it takes drops to make an ocean. What
are we going to do next, buy a gold
mine?

Don’t you think anyone would be
proud to say that their ancestors Were
monkeys? Possibly South American
ring tailed monkeys. I’ve seen ’em,
they’ re cute, at least, the rings are.

Myself ”

I don’t think I’ll buy a gold mine, as
the "contribs” are not sending in mon-
ey fast enough for that. Besides, we
are not investing, we' re giving. Mon-
keys are cute, even fascinating, are

they not? Undoubtedly some folks will- A

say, “They are not ” That’s all any
of us are, “JuSt ourselves ", even
though we may think we are more
than that.

AN IMPRESSION OF U. F.

 

HAVE a very vivid impression of
Uncle Frank sitting day after day
in his pandemonium, generally classi-
fied as an office, with his high-backed
chair tipped backward till its much
enduring joints creak in agony. His
desk, though already heaped with let—~ -
ters, magazines, remaining portions
of peanuts, and other articles too nu-
merous to mention, has a portion re-
served especially for Uncle Frank’s
brightly polished 'shoes, of inexplicable
dimensions... 7 ,

safe while I describe him " His shiny,
bald head, is relieved of all plainness
by the prosaic decoration of. bits of
slightly graying hair located above
each ear.
his ears resemble those of a rabbit in
magnitude, if in no other way. His
nose also is quite a prominent feature
which adds much to his , general at-
tractiveness. He is a man of an‘ ex-
tensive width and of short length. He
wears spectacles, but, of course, that
is because he wishes to look especial-
ly dignified.

Now for his attire, which "sets him
off handsomely.” He wears a straw
hat which rests onhis-Ieft ear more
than on his head._ His sagging coat
has the pockets bulging with bits 0f

times the age of a Merry Circler, but.

I enjoy the good work you are doing,
and will add the price of mm chicks

.to your fund. What better work can

anyone do than to bring joy to those
children, and think it is a joy for all

those that give? I am sure you are a.

great help to them. Wishing you suc-
cess in your work. ——Mrs. C. J. Chase.

N response tb your request that I make some suggestion which may be,
I of help to farm boys in their Straggle for success, let me say that, as I
write. tyere lies open before me a volume of Emerson’ 8, containing his

marvelous essay on “Self— Reliance," from which I quote:

“Trust thyself:

every heart vibrates to that iron string. Nothing is sacred but the integ‘

rity of your own mind.”

Let memdd‘ for myself this thought—~that_ application is only another

Pleafie put your name and address
in the upper left-hand corner of your

if you are a Merry Circler.

All of the correct papers will be

will be different and worth trying for.
Send your papers to Uncle Frank,

’THE w. B. CONTEST.

HE waste basket drawing contest

brought a fine response from our
Merry Circle artists. It also brought
some funny pictures of W. B., which
will be shown in these columns in the
near future. This contest indicated to
me that there was a great deal of tal-
ent and originality among our Merry
Circlers.

The prize Winners are as follows:

SEGREGATION‘ OF COCKERELS.

 

Begin early;

Separate cockerels from pullets as
soon 'as possible.

Select a larger number of cockerels
for breeders than you will need.

,At‘eight weeks of age, the heavy
breeds of birds should be’ completely
feathered. ng feathered before that
they are apt to be too early maturing
and undersized—rif not feathered at
eight weeks they will be apt to be
oversized (beefy) or crow-headed“
slow developing. Select cockerels at
eight Weeks. ,

At twelve weeks all cockerels
should be separated from pullets—aL
low pullets more room in which to
develop.

Market all cull cockerels at once if
hatched early. The longer you keep
them the lower the price becomes.
Also the larger the birds become the
more feed is required for an even
gain. Late—hatched cockerels may be
caponized to advantage.

Never put different aged cockerels
together until they are mature, as the
younger, smaller 'ones do not have a‘
fair chance and therefore develop
,very poorly.

Do not sell off the biggest, most rap-
id developing cockerels when the price
Of broilers is up, and keep the small,
under-developed, slow-maturing cock-
erels for breeders.

Above all—segregate.-—Jas
zema.

evening. When the turk is decidedly
better, give less—three or four tea-
spoonfuls—and keep up the treatment
until the droppings begin to look quite
natural (a week, more or less). Some
get better sooner than others. Feed
no corn, but throw out a little wheat
that the turk can pick up when he
wants. If there is nothing in his crop
when the medicine is given, poke one-
half of a small slice of bread down
him. This treatment will cure a tur-
key of worms also in a short time.
This is for a full-grown turk; for a
young one, give less.—-—Mrs. N. B., Eck~
ford, Michigan.

HENS GO BLIND.

There is a disease started in my
flock of hens I cannot account for.
They seem in perfect health, and lay-
ing, when all at once they appear to
go blind in one eye, then begin to act
dumpy They stagge1 around f01 sev-
e1al days then go blind in the other
eye. .Aftex this they just stand around
and will not eat, so consequently they
sta1ve to deatl1.~—J. W

Hens may become blind due to bits

of foreign material lodging around the
eyeball and starting irritation, or it
may be due to occular roup. Most forms
.of colds and roup cause more or less
trouble in the eyes of the bird. The
blindness and weakness may be the
symptoms Of some disease which can
only be dete1mined by a postmortem
examination.
. Sometimes a hen gradually becomes
blind, due to causes which it‘seems
almost impossible to determine. In
such cases the only remedy is to kill
the bird, as it will soon become emaci-
ated due to the lack Of feed.‘

The U. S. Bureau of Chemistry has
designed new dust handli’ngequipment
\for grain elevators which will lessen
danger of dust explosions.

" Hod-House HINTS.

 

HE fundamental requirements for

modern hog-houses are that they
:shall be dry, admit plenty of sunlight,
allow the necessary change of air, and
.be kept reasonably warm "in winter
and cool in summer. They should
also be convenient for caring for the
sow and litter, especially as to clean-
ing out. ‘

For the indiivdual hog-house six-
by-eight feet is better than five-by-sev-
on feet, since the latter. hardly allows
enough space for a. good-sized sow and
larger litter. Many producers prefer
{the combination gable-type heuse to
.the A—type, because the floor space of
the, latter is not all available, and
parts of the floor are difficult to keep
clean. The combination type is espe-
cially convenient where the sides and
roof can be opened up to the air and
sunshine.

For the centralized hog-house, most
authorities recommend the gable, or
ga’mbrel roofed houses, with windows
in the roof, although many producers
still favor the half-monitor type of
house.

Much difference of opinion obtains
as to the best type of hog—house floor.
The concrete floor is the most easily
kept clean, and is the cheapest in the
long run. Some producers object to
it as being too cold and damp, while
others’who use plenty of bedding find
it very satisfactory. To be dry, a con-
,crete floor should first have a. fill, or
foundation, put in of gravel or cinders
to a height of about twelve inches
above the general ground level, well
itamped and smoothed off, thenabout
a four-inch thickness of concrete put
down. A layer of roll roofing laid on
,the foundation before the floor is laid,
.will add considerably to the warmth
and dryness of the floor. A layer of
building tile laid down flat and cov-
ered with about an inch of rich con-
,crete, also makes a very satisfactory
floor, where the price of the tile does
not make the floor too expensive.
Many producers, however, insist that
“a wooden mat to cover a. masonry
floor is necessary for sows with young
pigs. Some sort of guard or rail is
almost necessary to prevent the sow
from lying on the pigs.

Many farmers do not appreciate the
necessity of shade for hogs in hot
summer weather. ‘Good trees shading
.the houses are quite satisfactory, as
they furnish shade
when needed, and do not cut off the
winter and early spring sunshine,
which is desirable. Even a vine or a
canopy help a. great deal. Surely a.
shade of straw or roofing can be pro-
vided if nothing else is available—I.

. THE KICKING 'cow.

 

VERY dairyman has had his expe
rience in curing kicking cows.
Care and patience goes along way in
‘surmounting the difficulty, but it will
.not always effect a cure. '

. Milch cows contract the habit of

gkicking from various causes. I know
from experience thatit is also a trans-
:mitted characteristic. I now have in
my herd a cow that has dropped five
.heifers, all of which I have reared and
milked. The cow herself is ‘a most
)exeellent individual, but she has al-
Way's‘ been subject to spells of kicking.
I have treated her‘ kindly, but! have

.. fneverbeen able to overcome her kick-p
tiilghabih. Hergfive descendants have

 

in the summer.

yielded soaks. po

 
   
 
 
 
 
 
  
 

 

habit of kicking from some local irrl;
.tation, such as a sore or crack’edteat.
too much pressure when milking, or
cramping the muscles of the test
while the milk is being drawn. My
experience ' has been that acme such .
slight irritation may cause a cow to
contract the habit.

My experience has ,been in hand-
ling milch cows, that preventive meas-
ures .are much better than any form
of cure. But, despite the best or man-
agement, a cow Will'contract the habit
of kicking and must be cured. Seme-

‘times a reasonable amount of punish-

ment will solve the trouble, but very
frequently this makes bad conditions
worse. I like the kicking chain the
best of any method I have used ‘to
overcome the trouble. I have used a
rope with a. loop in one end, or a.
heavy strap, [and tie it tightly
around the body of the cow. The cow
will jump around‘ a little at first, but
will stop when she finds she can not
get the rope off. I have also used,
with good results, the figure eight
drawn tightly around the thick, mus—
cular part of the legs between the
knee and body—L. Reynolds.

 

WIND-BROKEN Honsss M NOW
BE- cunso. ,

 

A NEW method of performing the‘

“roaring” operation on wind-brok-
en horses has been perfected by Dr.
Floyd H. Hicks, of Allegan, that is
said to cure ninety per cent of the an-
imals operated on.

Roaring operations have been per-
formed for years by leading veterinar-
ians, but Dr. Hicks’~ operation is said
to difier somewhat from 'the methods
practiced by others. Inw removing a
small V-shaped piece of the false

. vocal chord to relieve the ailment, Dr.‘

Hicks does not molest the orico‘id cart-
ilage at the base of the larynx as in
other operations. Most horses are
said to be able to eat within a short
time after the operation. A. local an:
esthcticis used during the operation.

.A NATIONAL DRINK. 'y

M ILK is now the national drink of ‘
American people. This is evi-
denced by the department of agricul-
ture’s announcement that the con-
sumption of fluid milk reached the
highest point in the nation’s history
last year, with a total quantity esti-
mat ed at 54,326,000,000 pounds, includ-
ing cream an increase of 1,554,000,000
pounds over 1924. The per capita con-
sumption is estimated at 1.20 pints,
a day. , . , ‘
These estimates are based on re-
ports from boards of health in 450 cit-
ies having a total population of 39,~
158,576. Much more milk is consumed

\ per capita in eastern cities than in
'those in the southern states.

M Buckwheat middlings average about
thirty per cent protein, 7.8 'per cent
fat, and 5.7 per cent fiber, and sell for
about $40 per ton. Each dollar, there-
fore, buys about. 15.2 pounds of pro-
tein. Buckwheat feed, a mixture of
varying amounts of buckwheat hulls
and buckwheat middlings, ranges in
protein content from ten to eighteen
per cent, and sells for about $27 per

feed, therefore, will buy about fifteen
pounds of protein.

 

PIG CROP IS SMALL.

 

SMALL increase in the number of
sows farrowed this spring, a.
small decrease in‘ pigs saved, and a
large increase in sows bred to farrow
this ‘1“ 11, all compared to last year, is
shown by the June 1 pig survey for
the eleven states of Ohio, Indiana, 111-
inois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Missouri, South Dakota, Nebras-
ka and'Kansas. This survey was made
by the department of agriculture
through the rural mail carriers of the
post ofl‘i‘ce department, and shows the
actual numbers reported by farmers.
The number of sows farrowed was
reported as 3.5 per cent larger in the
spring of 1926 than in 1925, with every
state showing an increase, but the
greatest increase being only 6.6 per
cent. The survey in December, 1925,
indicated the number of sows bred, or
to be pred, as 11.1 per cent larger
than the number farrowed in the
spring of 1925. This spread of 7.6 be-
tween the December breeding inten-
tions and sows actually farrowed,
agrees fairly closely with the spread
shown for the spring crop in previous
years.

The number of pigs Saved is report-
ed as one-half per cent smaller this
spring than last. This reduction is
due to the smaller average number of
pigs saved per litter, which was 5.54
\p and 5.78 last. While all
\ states except one reported smaller lit-

ters than last year, the largest de-
crease in size of litters was in the
early farrowing states east of the Mis-
sissippi. Weather conditions in March
and early April were much less favor-
able than last year. After the middle
of April weather conditions were quite
good both years, which resulted in lit-
ters this year more nearly equal with
last year in states west of the Missis-
sippi river, Where farrowings are nor-

' mally later.

‘ The number of sows bred, or to be
bred for fall farrowing this year, is
reported as 36.4 per cent larger than
the number that farrowed in the fall
{of 1925. In previous years the spread
'7,between the June reports of sows bred
for fall farrow, and the December re-
ports of sows actually farrowed, has
varied from a decrease of 29.3 points
in 1923, toone of 15.5 in 1925. Condi-
tions developing ,after June 1 have un-
doubtedly been‘"responsible for the var-
iations in the spread. Conditions this
gyearg such as prices of hogs, corn-hog

‘ price ratio, present feed supplies, Etc"
indicate that the breeding intentions

sALT FOR FARM ANIMALS.

 

XPERIENCE and science alike

have shown that salt ‘is essential
to the good health and thrift of .farm
live stock. It is not a food, nor does
it directly increase the digestibility of
food, but it nevertheless plays an im-
portant part in the work of nutrition.
Very briefly, its chief functions, in the
animal economy, are: as an appetizer
by making the feed more palatable;
as a stimulant and tonic, when taken
in small amounts; as a source of hy-
drochloric acid, a normal constituent
of the gastric juices; and, further, by
stimulating digestion, permits the an-
imal to make a larger and more profit—
able return in flesh or milk produc-
tion. Of all farm animals, milch cows
require the largest amount of salt. It
may be given at regular intervals, or
mixed with a meal in the proportion
of one-half pound to 100 pounds of the
concentrates, or the cows may be al-
lowed free access to it as rock or
block salt in mangers. One ounce per
head per day, if barrel salt is used,
will meet the requirements of an ani-
mal satisfactorily. It is only when the
supply is irregular that any fear may
be entertained of an animal taking
more salt than necessary, or consum-
ing too much, resulting in scouring.

Sheep require salt, and there should
be no neglect in supplying it, either
barrel or rock salt. It should be
available to them at all times.

Horses thrive best when regularly
supplied with salt, say, about two
ounces daily. When hard at work they
require more than when at rest, for
the reason that salt is excreted in the
perspiration.

Pigs and poultry require less salt
than other farm animals, but it should
be supplied regularly. Brood sows
should not be without salt, which may
be given in box, trough, or self—feeder.

All stock fed liberally with rich nu-
tritious feed, exhibit a craving for salt,
and this should be met, if good health
and thrift are to be maintained—W.
E. McMullen.

SOUTH BERRIEN ASSOCIATION
REPORT.
ALLACE BEEHLfiR, of Niles,
. led the South Berrien Cow Test-
ing Association for the month of June,
averaging 43.48 pounds of butter-fat

for his seven high-grade Guernseysi'“

In the 122 days since the association
started its new year‘s work, Mr. Beeh-
ler’s herd has averaged 173 pounds
of fat. ’

High two—year—old was a pure-bred
Guernsey, “Frauline of Hill Top,”own-
ed by Warren Toney & Sons, who ad-
ded 49.63 pounds of fat to her year’s
credit. In May this animaf produced
sixty pounds of fat.

Doan Stroab, of Galien, had high
three-year—old, his pure-bred Holstein,
“Colantha Maid,” producing 72.89
pounds of fat.

James Reed had high four-year-old
with a production of 52.50 pounds of
fat for his grade Guernsey, and Wal-
lace Beehler had high mature cow in
“Molly,” who gave 68.67 pounds of fat
for the month.

Although the association average
was but 29.1 pounds for the month, the
average for the 122 days since the as-
sociation started, is still ubetter than
a pound of fat per day per cow.

About this time of the year the farm-
er realizes that he is short of corn or
hay. The importance of budgeting the
feed amounts for the year can well be
emphasized at such a time.“ Cow test-
ing members can figure more closely
on the amount of feed that will be
necessary to carry them through, and
can buy the proper amounts when" they
are more reasonably priced—Nathan

HE De Laval Milker enables one person

to milk two to three times as many cows

as can be milked by hand. On many
farms where the whole family was required
to do the milking the old way, now with a
De Laval Milker one person can easily do the
milking while the rest of the family can get
away occasionally, thus overcoming one of
the big drawbacks of dairying.

But this is only one of many advantages
in having a De Laval Milker. Besides sav-
ing time it does better work, produces more
and cleaner milk, and keeps the cows’ udders
and teats in better condition. ' This is proven
by ten years’ use and the half million cows
now milked the De Laval Way.

WHEAT .

Producers sold new Wheat less free-
ly as a result of the recent declineun
cash prices and premiums, while mill-
ing and export demand broadened. In
addition, unfavorable crop news from
the northwest has attracted increased
speculative support. As a result, the
downward trend in prices has been
halted temporarily, at least. The hot
weather over the northwest has been
particularly serious because of the
lack of subsoil moisture. The season
when black rust usually becomes the
basis of a crop scare is at hand also,
and has increased the apprehensmn.
On the other hand, threshing returns
from the southwest are exceeding ex-
pectancy. Primary receipts of wheat
have practically doubled in the last
week or ten days,.and have been ab-
normally heavy for so early in the
season. Under the stimulus of a great
increase in flour sales, mills have tak-
en hold rather briskly. Export sales
have exceeded a million bushels on
some days. It is too early to conclude
that wheat prices have touched bot-
tom for the season. The incentive for
a permanent turn toward higher pric-
es would have to come from unfavor—
in this country or

RYE

The rye market has been gaining on
wheat during the last month or two.
The small crop in this country and
Europe indicates that rye .prices Will

. be on a bread grain bas1s in the com-
ing year, but ample-stocks of old rye
are preventing the Situation from com-.
ing to the front immediately.

CORN ~

Corn prices are still weak, with the
future deliveries at the lowestprices
reached on the crop. Large deliveries
are being made on July contracts, and
since this consists of Winter-shelled
corn of poor keeping quality, buyers
are hard to find. Consuming demand
is slow. Last week’s visible supply

OATS

Oats prices have declined to the

lowest point of the season.“ Weather...

conditions are favorable for the final
stages of growth of the new crop. The
July 1 unofficial estimates average 1,—
310,000,000 bushels, compared with the
large crop of 1,502,000,000 bushels pro-
duced last year. Demand is listless.
Texas and Oklahoma new crop oats
have been filling southeastern demand'
for several weeks, so that noprogress
has been made recently toward dis-
tributing the large stocks of old grain
at terminals. ,Country elevators, par-
ticularly in Nebraska, are reported to
have more old oats on hand than us-
ual at this season.

SEEDS

Trade in the field seed market is
practically at a standstill. Those who
hold either timothy or clover seed are
not eager to sell as prices are gener-
ally expected to advance when the fall
demand opens upmg-m

FEEDS

Wheat feeds have declined again as
a result of heavier offerings of feeds
from new crop wheat. Prices are not
likely to improve so long as demand
remains moderate.

HAY

The hay market eased off slightly
during the past week. 'Rains have im-
proved the outlook for the new crop
and benefited pastures, thus limiting
the'demand for hay- Receipts of good
quality hay are moderate, but the
heavy offerings of medium and lower
grades tend to depress the market.

The 1925 hay crop has been largely
marketed, and a good percentage of
the remainder will be required before
the new crop is available in volume.
Stocks at the beginning of the new
crop year will be smaller even than
indicated- by the holdings on May 1,
when stocks on farms were practical-
ly 2,000,000 tons below the five-year
average on that date. With such a
small carry-over, and pastures below
the average in many sections, demand
for new hay will be of good propor-

tions.

BUTTER

The butter market has steadied al-
though dealers are not buying except
for immediate needs. Production eon-
tinues ahead of last year and the sup-
ply is expected to remain on a plenti-
ful scale. Pastures are in much bet-
ter condition than a month ago, which
improves the outlook for the summer
milk flow. The latest report on butter
production indicates an increase in
the output of the American Creamery
Butter Manufacturers of 5.4 per cent
over a year ago, but a decrease of
nine per cent in the Minnesota cooper-
ative territory where pastures have
improved less than the average. But-
ter is stillbeing stored freely, which
prevents stocks from accumulating in
dealers' hands. During June, 3,000,000
pounds more butter arrived at the four
large‘markets than in June, 1925. Two-
thirds of this increase went into stor-
age, the other third into consumption.
The surplus in storage holdings over a

year ago has been further increased

during June.

the heavier supplies. Eastern markets '

western prices declined; Southern

WOOL _\ ‘

Wool trade has been, more active
during the past .week, although it is
still spotty and irregular. Dealers ,
have advanced prices and actual sales
have been made to better advantage '
than two or three weeks ago. Mills
are still buying on a limited scale,
although the goods trade outlook is
believed to be the best in/a long
while. Mill consumption of wool has.

been at low ebb for the past year, ang )

some expansion seems logical. In Bo
ton, Ohio quarter and half-blood has:
been’ in demand 'at 42@43c, and 45c
18 the asking price on delaines. Sales
at 30@32c are reported in Oregon, at
34@3.7c in Montana, "while in Ohio and
Michigan, most growers are receiving
37@38c. A firm tone is reported in
foreign markets. »

DETROIT CITY MARKET

The smaller supply 'of strawberries
gave the price 'a boost. Interest in
cherries was small. Only a. few goose-
berries were offered and they were
slow to sell. Bunched carrots and
beets were fairly plentiful. There was
a moderate demand for asparagus and
green onions, but turnips had few buy-
ers. The call for greens was pretty
small. Cabbage was cheaper. The de-
mand for peas was limited. Only a
few potatoes were offered and the de
mand for, them was small. Dealers did
not take much poultry and the retail
buying was lighter than usual.

’ Indigestion—Picasso tell me if sep-
'arated milk is harmful “to-calves and
'pigs if it is fed while there is quite
an amount, of foam on the top; Would
It be better to remove this and cool
the milk before it is fed? -I had a
dead calf this morning. It was five
months old. I fed it about seven
quarts of milk with the foam on it.
It did not have scours. I opened it
and found its 'stomach extended, as
if it was full of gas. There was but
little matter in the stomach. J. J.—
The foam (m separator milk is not
necessarily harmfu1,;it could easily be
removed. ’The milk should be fed
warm and always about the same tem-
perature. ' Your calf no doubt died
from acute indigestion. Calves drink
milk very quickly, and for that reason
it is much better, to give a less quan-
tity and given at more frequent inter-
vals. The danger of acute indigestion
is thus greatly rediced.

Eczema.—My calves have scabs on
their eyes and head, and around their
ears. The scab is dry and there is
no hair on the scab. I am feeding red
clover. timothy, 24 pounds of skim-
milka. day, and ground oats and bar—
ley in equal parts. What can I do for
them? W.F. P.——Give two teaspoon-
fuls of equal parts of baking soda and
dried sodium sulphate in grain or milk
twice daily. It would be advisable to
reduce the grain ration. Apply equal
parts of glycerine and tincture iodine
to the diseased areas once daily.

Intestinal Parasites.——We have a
dog which is very tame, but at times
he takes spells. He will put his head
on one side and whirl around several
times and froth will gather at his
month. Last night he was restless
and was panting, and I put him in the
basement, but he barked and whined
until he was put out. Mrs. H. K.—
These spells are frequently due to
worms, yet it is also thought to be a
deficiency disease—something lacking
in the food which the animal system
requires. Feeding raw meat has been
known to have cured numerous cases
after other remedies had failed. With-
hold food for twelve hours, then give
six grains of santonin in one and a
half ounces of castor oil. If worms
are passed, repeat the treatment in
three weeks.

farmers will tell you. They figure it

this way:

bushels by using the right kind of fer-
tilizer. Six of the leading Experiment
