Silzgifig Proves #0 £6 a .Factor in Farming 81166655
"By Otto T. Mallory

HE Danes are a happy people.

' They take no interest in. the
“melancholy Dane.” In Elsinore,

when I asked for Hamlet’s castle, no-
body knew where it was. They are.

, interested only in pleasant people. The,

Danes are a great people at singing.
Theyknow all the words of a song
up to the fifteenth verse. No Dane
ever falls to the level of singing “tra
I was on an excursion steamer
all afternoon and they sang song after
song and the only words that were
missed in any song was in “John
Brown,” which were dropped off at the
end of each line! ‘
The reason why they know such a.
\vast number of songs is that nearly
one-half of the agricultural population
have been to the folk high schools. At
these} schools singing is part of the
culture. It was chosen by the found-
ers with the purpose of saturating the
humble man with the love of his Coun-
try'and its lore. Something, most peo—
‘ple say it is the folk high school, has

‘ ,‘changed him from the inarticulate serf

of yesterday to what he is today—one
of the most up-and-coming persons in
Europe. . ,
Denmark is a singing country, The
farmer sings so much that the cows
and sheep have quit in his favor.

Farmers’ meetings are always opened ,

with song. Lectures on the boll weevil
and the white pine rust, if there are
in Denmark, are opened
with song. A meeting of the stock-
holders of a bankrupt farmers’ bank
was opened with song. The chairman
remarked, “There may be nothing to

' sing about, but we will sing anyhow.”

Singing together did not spoil the
chance of getting new subscriptions

to put the bank on its feet. Whistling »

for your money is common enough,

i but singing over lost money has a.

kick in it. The next time an American.
bank cashier absconds with the cash
and the pretty stenographer, the

',- board of directors’ meeting might well

be opened with “My Bonnie Lies Over
the Ocean.” ‘

In the summer several rural high
schools invite city people to come out-
to the country for an eight-day high
school course. You may think this re-
duces the tabloid treatment close to
‘zero, but not at all! It is conquering
the city for the ideals of cooperation,
for the ideas of the right use of leis-
ure, and for a richer common life.
These eight days open up a new world
of interest to thousands of city people
and cause a big jump in the member-
ship of winter lecture courses, and of
gymnastic and singing societies in the
city. The general board of strategy
which plans through these folk high
schools for the advance of Danish cul-
ture and happiness feels, I suspect,
that our American system is trying to

make schoolmasters out of the Ameri—
can people, while they are trying for
something more subtle—a people with
something to express, and the instru-
ment with which‘to express it; a peo-
ple with eyes open to the richness of
life, keen to appreciate that life is full
of a number of things; that you may
take your pick, for your job is only
one window from which you can look
out on the scenery and select any avo-
cation.

The folk high schools have made for
community spirit and solidarity. The
Danish farmer does not sell his eggs
to the wicked middle-man, even in
mid—winter, no matter how high the
price, but delivers every egg to the
Cooperative, according to the contract
made with the people he sang with.
A 'sung contract ismore binding than

drive a horse and wagon through its
loopholes.

Singing is also a feature of gymnas-
tics, the Dane’s greatest love. The
king decorated the Danish gymnastic
teacher, Niels Bukh, and every Dane
thought that it was a bright scheme
of the king to get for himself the
honor of Niels Bukh’s acquaintance.
Niels Bukh is as well known in Den-
mark as Babe Ruth is in America, and
relatively as many people turn out to
see his farmer lad and lassie gym-
nasts only three months removed from
the farm. The Copenhagen boys no
longer look down on the country boys,
for they need Bukh’s country boys to
draw the big crowds. I saw the fe-
male cooks in his high school, after a
heavy day in the kitchen—and every
day is a heavy day in the Danish
kitchen—practicing exercises until
the lights were put out. I saw young
men working all day in the hot sun
with a minimum of clothes, carrying
mortar for Niels Bukh’s new swim-
ming pool, and then giving a gymnas-
tic exhibition of cartwheels and other
such relaxations at a distant place
that night. This pool is the first cov-
ered swimming pool in all Denmark——
which is a series of peninsulas and is-
lands as watery as the South Sea Is-

lands, where few can swim. And no -

swimming prizes were ever won at
the Olympic games. Niels Bukh plans
to change all this. These gymnastic
laborers evidently find something rest-
ful in rhythmic movement, no matter
how strenuous, after the body has
been made into a perfect instrument.
Just as “Merton of the Movies” was
willing to make great sacrifice, ‘to do
fine and serious work, so the Danish
youth, without pay or reward, craves
the opportunity of going on Niels
Bukh’s exhibition tours. These are
the boys with no professional or com-
mercial interst in gymnastics who

and as rapidly as the job in hand is

Because the farm home is away

all afternoon and they sang song after
song and the only words that were
missed in any song was in “John
Brown,” which were dropped off at the
end of each line!

The reason why they know such a
,vast number of songs is that nearly
one-half of the agricultural population
have been to the folk high schools. At
these schools singing is part of the
culture. It was chosen by the found-
ers with the purpose of saturating the
humble man with the love of his coun-
try'a'nd its lore. Something, most peo-

‘ple say it is the folk high school, has
' Echanged him from the inarticulate serf

of yesterday to what he is today—one
of the most up—and-coming persons in
Europe.

Denmark is a singing country. The
farmer sings so much that the eows
and sheep have quit in his‘ favor.

Farmers’ meetings are always opened .

with song. Lectures on the boil weevil
and the white pine rust, if there are
such pests in Denmark, are opened
with song. A meeting of the stock—
holders of a bankrupt farmers’ bank
was opened with song. The chairman

In the summer several rural high

to the country for an eight-day high
school course. You may think this re-
duces the tabloid treatment close to
zero, but not at all! 'It is conquering
the city for the ideals of cooperation,
for ‘the ideas of the right use of leis-
ure, and for a richer common life.
These eight days open up a new world
of interest to thousands of city people
and cause a big jump in the member-
ship of winter lecture courses, and of
gymnastic and singing societies in the
city. The general board of strategy
which plans through these folk high
schools for the advance of Danish cul-
ture and happiness feels, I suspect,
that our American system is trying to

make schoolmasters out of the Ameri—
can people, while they are trying for
something more subtle—~a people with
something to express, and the instru-
ment With which'to express it; a peo-
ple with eyes open to the richness of
life, keen to appreciate that life is full
of a number of things; that you may
take your pick, for your job is only
one window from which you can look
out on the scenery and select any avo«
cation.

The folk high schools have made for
community spirit and solidarity. The
Danish farmer does not sell his eggs
to the wicked middle-man, even in
mid-winter, no matter how high the
price, but delivers every egg to the
Cooperative, according to the contract
made with the people he sang with.

Singing is also a feature of gymnas-V
tics, the Dane’s greatest love. The
king decorated the Danish gymnastic
teacher, Niels Bukh, and every Dane
thought that it was a bright scheme
of the king to get for himself the
honor of Niels Bukh’s acquaintance.
Niels Bukh is as well known in Den-
mark as Babe Ruth is in America, and
relatively as many people turn out to
see his farmer lad and lassie gym-
nasts only three months removed from
the farm. The Copenhagen boys no
longer look down on the country boys,
for they need Bukh’s country boys to
draw the big crowds. I saw the fe-
male cooks in his high school, after a.
heavy day in the kitchen—and every
day is a heavy day in the Danish
kitchen—practicing exercises until
the lights were put out. I saw young
men working all day in the hot sun
with a minimum of clothes, carrying
mortar for Niels Bukh’s new swim-
ming pool, and then giving a gymnas-
tic exhibition of cartwheels and other
such relaxations at a distant place
that night. This pool is the first cov-
ered swimming pool in all Denmark——
which is a series of peninsulas and is-
lands as watery as the South Sea Is-
lands, where few can swim. And no
swimming prizes were ever won at
the Olympic games. Niels Bukh plans
to change all this. These gymnastic
laborers evidently find something rest-
ful in- rhythmic movement, no matter
how strenuous, after the body has
been made into a perfect instrument.
Just as “Merton of the Movies” was
willing to make great sacrifice, tofido
fine and serious work,,so the Danish
y,outh without pay or reward, craves
the opportunity of going on Niels' '
Bukh’s exhibition tours. These are ,
the boys with no professional or com-
r,mercial interst in gymnastics who
will go back on the farm. I »

VOLUME CLXVI NUMBER THREE

DETROIT, JULY 17, 1926
CURRENT COMMENT

N opportunity was

 

afforded the writ-

r
’0!" or to study hay crop
‘3' conditions in Michi-
Crop gan during a recent

tour of the state, cov-
ering both peninsulas. Our observa-
tions are that, while the prospect does
not indicate a bumper crop, the total
production will probably be greater
than last year, and this crop will re-
gain its position as the leading crop
of the state in point of value. But
our hay crop is not what it ought to
be. It could .easily be increased by
half on the same acreage now devot-
ed to it, and we believe it will be in
the not distant future.

While Michigan is the largest pro-
ducer of alfalfa of any state east of
the Mississippi River, we could double
the present acreage and then double
it again with profit. In the sections
of the state where the alfalfa acreage
is largest, farmers have, for the most
part, been obliged to lime their soils
to make a. success of the crop. The
pioneers in this practice found it prof-
itable, and the object lessons which
their success afforded have ,lnduced
other farmers to follow their example.
The investment required has made
this development gradual, but the
profitable results have made it contin-
uous and each year has seen a sub-
stantial increase in the alfalfa acreage
in the older agricultural sections of
the state. This‘m’eans not only better
hay from the standpoint of feeding

, . We. but more hay as well. This is

a. marked advantage any year on any

, mm but it is a very great advantage
1: II. 9001‘ hey year like last year, when
statistics show the average yield of
mam hay was more than double the
‘ m yield of other kinds of hay.

In the northern part or the state.

- . there are large areas of limestone soil

& would require 'little,‘ if any;

meadows. producing only a fair yield

 

areas at the present time. Quite an
area of this lead is new in permanent

of timothy, or at best, mixed hay, and
some of it is in native grasses, produc-
ing only a small annual yield of in-
ferior hay. An occasional farmer has
sown sweet clover on this land and is
cutting it for hay, but this is not gen-
eral. probably due to the fact that
there is ’no established market for this
hay.

There is urgent need for the further
spreading of the gospel of alfalfa in
this section. This is true of all sec-
tions of the state, but is especially
true of those sections where natural
soil conditions favor the growth of this
wonderful forage plant with a mini-

mum of cost for its successful estab-_

lishment. .

Farmers owning limestone soils in
the northern sections of the state
could do no greater service to their
communities than by demonstrating
the possibilities of alfalfa on these
soils. Incidentally, they would profit
from the demonstration.

It would help some if the farmers
located on this type of soil, who have
tried alfalfa as a hay crop, would
send us an account of their experi-
ences for publication in our columns
for the benefit of their contemporaries
who are similarly located.

N these days when

Whither t h 9 papers a r e
, full of crime, loose
». Are we morality, illegal prof-
Bound? it taking, etc. each

of us undoubtedly of-
ten wonder as to the outcome of the
future.

Many are certain that the world is
going to the dogs. They can see noth-
ing but the evil which the papers tell
us about in bold type. Others. how-
ever, are more hopeful. even optimis-
tic. They realize that crime is given
undue publicity because it is unusual.
If it ever becomes so common that
telling of it does not excite us. we
then would have much reason to feel
alarmed.

The optimist can see many forces
for good working silently. Those are
mostly the things which influence our
youth. Such things as the Boy fluent
movement. the Four H club work
among rural boys and girls. and the
work of the churches with young peo-
ple. these are giving the youth of to-
day a foundation which we older ones
should envy. In these youth move-
ments, the boys and girls are not only
taught good, but they are taught to
do good. Doing is a positive force, so
the method of teaching in such great
organizations as the Boys’ and Girls’
Clubs, and the Scouts, assures us that
the seeds of doing good will grow to
become positive influences.

During the past few years we have
gained many new liberties. Bobbed
hair, comfortable fashions, our mod-
ern means of transportation, etc., have
brought problems as well as priv-
ileges. But in time these problems
will be subdued to their proper place
and become minor factors as com-
pared with the privileges gained.

There is nothing more permanent in
life than change, and especially in the
past generation has change been in
evidence. All this will work for good,
as the human heart has changed but
little. We desire justice, fair play,
and goodness, as much as our fore-
fathers did. We have changed many
things about us. but we have done
little to change ourselves. That alone
gives hope for the future.

spring under the auspices

However. if we want hard
enough and mix a bit of brains with a

and concertediy dart? Wayward
the some wants, we are bound to see
results. .

80 around the theme. “What Farm
Women Want,” twenty representative
farm women throughout the country
met in conference in Chicago this
of the
American County Life Association and
The» Farmer’s Wife. Only recently
has a summary of wants of this con-
ference been made public.

Briefly, these farm women wanted:
better movies. a bank account, good
roads and other means of contact,
beautification of farm homes, the lat-
test machinery in the home so that

they can 'have more time to get out,.

closer cooperation between town and
country people, a chance to have their
hobbies materialized, good music, the
radio, an attractive dining room table,
good pictures, and farm women repre-
sentation on state and national com-
mitteep.

Summarized, these wants of farm
women run through a wide range, but
always come back to what one woman
meant when she said, "farm women
want what other women want.”

Today the farm population is fast
becoming a diminishing minority, but
the products of agriculture are no less
important. Chief among the products
of the farm are the surplus boys and
girls who go to augment the brains
and brawn of the city. It is essential
that these boys and girls be trained
in the right sort of American farm
homes. The farm woman knows bet-
ter than anyone else what the" farm
home 'needs. and her wants should be
given the sober thought given to other
national problems.

N a recent conver-

p m... nation with afriend ,
I? who is active in the

a cop department of cooper-
oration ation in the United

States Department of
Agriculture, he said they were gather-
ing together every bit of information
possible on the subject of cooperation.
They have on hand the annual reports
of some organizations as far back as
twenty years. Reports of cooperative
enterprises in foreign countries are
also on file.

With such a complete record of co-
operation on hand, its pitfalls can be
studied and avoided. These records
show that in most cases failure has
been due to the fact that' the cranni-
zation was started from the top down.

Perhaps one of the greatest cooper-
ative successes is the Canadian wheat
pool. An investigation of this enter-
prise shows conclusively that it was
started from the bottom up. Horny-
handed farmers were steering the co-
operative ship. They were wise
enough to hire good brains to manage
the things they were unfit to handle.

Agricultural cooperation is just get-
.ting over its growing pains, and will
now mature into a valuable asset to
farming, as well as to the public at
large. It is growing stronger since it
has paSsed the mistakes of imma-
turity.

This spring hasbeen unfavorable for
corn to be “knee high by the Fourth
of July." Still, in traveling along one
could seé the corn of a few scien-
tific farmers at that stage of develop-
ment at that time of the year. Our
prosperous farmers are those who
have done those things which have
aaured good crops at most all times.
They are. therefore, secured of regu-
lar dividends. ‘

If your farm is not paying div—

are taming on a speculative or invest-
ment basis. The failure to do certain
things is ,speculation more often than
the doing or them. '

FOUND HORSERADISH PROFIT-
ABLE.

 

TWE‘NTY-FIVE years ago, Con L.
Shugart was a Quaker preacher
and farmer, but all the farming he did
was just enough to supply his family
with the year’s vegetables. 'One day
a neighbor. asked him to help him
grow horseradish, and promised to
by all Shugart could raise.

Shugart bought 100 plants and set
them out for the roots. When the first
year’s crop was full grown, the neigh-
bor failed to appear for the product,
and the grower lost his labor and the
cost of the plants.

Next spring the horseradish re-ap—
peared; and for six years thereafter
Shugart plowed up the plants, but to
no avail. At last he hired a man to
help him. eradicate the plants. The
man suggested they try selling the
roots, and Shugart assented. So they
dug up the horseradish, prepared the
roots for market use and sold the
year’s product for $13.20. ’

Now Shugart sells the output of two
truckloads annually, to his customers
in the towns nearby.

After his first successful marketing
of the roots, Shugart began cultivating
the horseradish, until now there is
scarcely an acre of his farm that is
not covered with the plant—J. C. M.

 

REJUVENATE OLD STRAWBERRY
BED.

 

F you plan to keep the old straw-

.berry bed another year, it will
need some attention at once. After
the last of the season’s crop has been
harvested, by clipping and burning the
patch, the bed can be economically
renewed. The burning operation
should be followed by cultivation to
reduce the width of the rows .to five
or six inches.

Burning over the old beds tends to
destroy the leaf rollers and fungus dis-

ALFALFA AQREAGE mom-memo.

 

HIPPEWA county is increasing its

plantings of alfalfa. Mr. D. L;
McMillan, county agricultural agent,
reports sending out this season, six
dozen alfalfa cultures, which wasfive
times the number sent out last year.
There is also a similar increase in
the quantity of sweet clover that has
been sown in Chippewa. Liming of
alfalfa lands is not being neglected.
Good lime is easily obtained locally.
There is available both crushed lime-
stone or refuse lime from the carbide
plant at the 800. While there has
been some winter-killing of sweet clo-
ver in Chippewa, most of the plant-
ings wintered well. ‘

 

FARM FOLKS ECONOMICAL.

 

HE farm folks are far from extrav-

agant in their house furnishings.
Purchases of house furnishings and
equipment by 1,299 farm families in
Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri and Kansas
amount to an average yearly expendi-
ture of $44.42 for such goods, accord-
ing to a. survey made by the depart-
ment of agriculture to study the farm
standard of living. The results show
that farm owners spent only slightly
more than tenants for house furnish-
ings. Eight hundred and seventy-two
owner families spent an average of
$44.98 for the year, and 427 tenant
families spent an average of $43.27.
Of the 1,299 families, 1,059 reported
total living costs ranging from $600 to
$2,100 a. year, these figures including
both actual living expenses, and food
and shelter furnished by the farm.

the duty of the lubricant to stick to
the gear and smooth out this rough-

character which, in cooler weather,
will not'allow the gears to cut a path
in it, or “channel,” as it is called, but
must constantly flow in and keep the
gear surfaces provided with a good
cushion of lubricant. The proper lub-
ricant must have the properties of ad-

obtained, will become contaminated
and gritty in time; therefore, com—

plete renewal of the oil is absolutely
necessary after sixty Working hours.
Never, under any circumstances, add
new oil to old in the crankcase, as two
quarts of new oil added to eight quarts
of old, still leaves ten quarts of oil
unfit for heavy tractor duty. \

The working conditions of the trac-
tors are such that they necessarily op-
erate at very high temperatures, in an
atmosphere usually impregnated with
dust, which works in through the air
suction of the.carburetor, thence into
the cylinders, and shortly finds its way
into the crankcase. Here, with the
fine particules worn from the-bear-
ings, and the water generated by the
combustion of the fuel, it forms a
sludge carrying gritty abrasives high-
ly destructive to the working parts of ,-
the motor. To obviate this condition,
tractors are usually equipped with air
cleaners which trap out the dust and
dirt before entering the carburetor. If
a tractor is not so equipped, it should
be. Oil isflfar cheaper than repair
parts, hence the rule should be strict-
1y adhered to of completely, changing
the oil: in thel crankcase after each
sixty hours of working. . >

On account of the high temperature
at which most, tractors operate, a
heavy oil is necessary, as oil. thins out
under heat, and after ‘being subjected
to" the operating temperature of the
tractor (usually from 180 to 220 de—.
'grees), the oil must still be heavy
enough to form the requisite film for
the bearing surfaces, and to maintain
an adeguate piston seal which means
power. ,.~ g , ‘-

never make the mistake of using
cheap lubricants. Cheap oils carbonize
rapidly and deteriorate quickly under
heat, hence the total amount consum—
ed is greater than if a better oil were
used, and in the end, the user has
gained nothing. For obtaining the
highest degree of lubricating efficiency,
the best lubricants should be used, as
it is a well proven fact that, besides
enjoying the highest rate of efficiency
from the best lubricants, they are ul-
timately the most economical to use.

check up ,on my statement. If you

will think I have understated.
0 One of the peculiar things about
deafened people is their reluctance to
wear any apparatus calculated to call
‘attention to their infirmity. One with

-'and I have known vain people to wear

blank eye-glasses for the particular
purpose of adding, an air of distinc-

way by which electrical devices are
applied to aid vision, but electricity is

of a device that removes the objec-
tionable headband and Watch-case re-
ceiver from the hearing apparatus. A
Lrheostat regulates the degree of amp-
lification of sound. A small battery

the cdrrent. There is a hard rubber
gtransmitter that may be clamped into
the pocket or some other part of the
clothing. The new style receiver is
ithe big improvement. It is so small
gthat it does not extend beyond the ex-
ternal ear and, instead of a headband

.- e .
' hills known as Plum Hollow;

:‘l'I There was but one road intor the
pocket; that a crossway through» the
ash swamp, at the 10Wer end, where
Plum Creek meandered sluggishly out
of the valley. ,
, Whitbeck lived with his grand-
daughter in a sagging roofed, unpaint-
ed house of 'two rooms and a kitchen
lean-to, at the inner end of the cross-
Way. The low gray old building was
above the swamp, half way up the
south slope of the first of the series
of hills that/ rimmed the Hollow.
There in a scrub oak clearing, it flat-
tened against the hillside, awry at its
corners, with loose clapboards that
banged eeriely in the fall winds, seem-
ing to lie in wait, crouched above the
throat of the swampy road.

People said of Anemone Whitbeck

   

that she was shy and sweet as a.

mourning-dove and bright as an oriole.
They might have said, too, as dainty
as the wind—flower, whose name she
bore, and as bashful as the wild roses
along the June roadsides.

Her father, wild young Steve Whit-
beck, had been shot at a country
dance before she was born. Her moth-
er, a Shy sweet girl from a hillside
farm ten miles above the Hollow, had

' died a year later, and because she had
no mother of her own, she had given
Anemone to Eliza Whitbeck. The hard
years with old Pete took their final
toll from her randmother when the
wind-flower Chi was five. For thir-
teen years after that her only friends
had been the people who saw her from
a distance, rarely near enough to
speak, but who thought and said kind
things of her.

Those same people said of old Pete
that his blood was unclean as the
heavy rusty heard that was matted
upon his face, and that his heart was
as hard as the polished brown barrel
of his rifle. A dozen years before he
had killed a neighbor in a line fence
wrangle. No one else saw, and he
swore that the man struck at him with
a heavy chopping ax, before he shot.

There were none who dared push
the case, so it was dropped. Pete
Whitbeck had been a sullen, brutal
man before. He became now a fiend.
He settled back in the house above
the swamp, secure in the knowledge
of the fear his neighbors would hear
for a man who had killed another
man, and sent out word that he want-
ed to be let alone. He boasted that
he would kill the first man who came
into Plum Hollow.’ The land was his
and he would keep all men away
from it.

Two neighbors went trout fishing
down Plum Creek one spring morn-
ing. He burst upon them out of the
willow brush, screaming and raging,
and waving his rifle at them. The
pair lost courage and fled.

In August two women ventured over
'the crest of the hill, into the Hollow
to pick crackle-berries. One of them
straightened from the low brush, and
from farther down the valley a shpt
rang out. The hickory sapling against
which she leaned showed a white
crease a foot above her head, and the
two women crept back over the slope
on hands and knees.

No one tried again. Word went out
that Pete Whitbeck meant to keep his
promise. There was wild talk of rush-
ing his shack or burning over the
whole of Plum Hollow in a March fire.
None, though, dared set the lead, and
the break in the ash swamp where
1the crossway began, became a dead-
me.

From month to month Pete came
over the hills of an evening, his rifle
in the cnook of his arm, to the store
beside the mill on Plum Creek a mile
above the Hollow, and bought the few
things he needed. He spoke to no
one, save to order the sugar and tea
and matches and tobacco, mumbling
through his heard. In the smoke-ding-
ed store, or on the path over the hills,

men turned aside from him, yielding
way as to a Czar!

In time they had grown accustomed
to these things, no longer regarding
them as strange, only remembering
that the Hollow was forbidden ground.

Then one day word went out that
the bank at Bigspring had been rob-
bed. The cashier was dead—five thou-
sand dollars gone—all by one man
alone! A cool dangerous man, with a
rifle, who had done nothing in a hurry.

Savin s of all the hill people were
in that ank. Ed Brule had a hundred
dollars of last fall’s hog money. Young
Jas. Bennett had fifty, saved one at a
time, toward buying a farm of his
own. Even the widow Thatcher’s crip-
pled son, who helped around the mill,
had five.

.The posse was formed in half an
hour, and the chase led out over the
hills—southeast, toward Plum Hollow.
At the brush grown entrance to the
cross-way men stopped and looked in-
to each others eyes, uncertain. The
man they wanted might well be bid-
den somewhere in the depths of the
ash swamp. Of this no one could be

a black rainbarrel that stood at the
corner of the house, and said cheer-
fully. x

“Hello, friend.”

The. rifle in the other’s hands he did
not seem to notice. The gleam of
rage in the hard eyes above the thick
rusty beard he overlooked as well. He
had even smiled an amused smile as
he came toward Whitbeck, at the
plainly threatening attitude of the old
man there at “the corner of the
weatherbeaten house. .

The hillman’s rage, when it broke,
was for once not blustery and futile.
He Waited a long minute after the
younger man’s greeting, to answer,
and his voice then was low and heavy,
each word slow and venomous with
hate! -4

“I wonder if you know, young fel-
ler, that this is Plum Holler you’ve
started across? That I’m Pete Whit-
beck, an’ I own the Holler, every foot
of it? That I swore a dozen years
ago I’d shoot the first man that ever

' set foot across the~rim yonder! You’re

the first that’s tried it—"- the sentence

sure—but of a certain other fact none
needed to doubt! Somewhere about
the house on the hill at the far end
of the road, old Pete was keeping
watch. He had already seen them;
was more than likely, even now, creep-
ing down into the tangle of the
swamp, to meet the first who dared
venture in.

Men shook their heads soberly. No
man is brave enough that he wants to
be watched from behind a fallen log
fifty yards away, by a pair of gray
eyes, cold as a sauger’s, along a steady
rifle barrel, when the owner of the.
eyes has sworn to shoot on sight, and
has proven his oath!

Still without speaking, the crowd
split, of one silent accord, and spread
to right and left, skirting the edge of
the swamp. They would meet again
on Plum Creek, at the head of the
Hollow.

While they hunted just beyond the
crest of the rim of hills, the first
stranger who had set foot inside the
rim in twelve years, was climbing
slowly up the slope from the creek, to
VVhitbeck’s house.

He was a .goung man, tall and
straight, with ' bearing of lean hard
strength. He did not belong to the
posse, for he wore a quiet suit of
what they would have termed store
clothes. Strangely out of place with
these though, he carried in the crock
of his left arm a rifle.

He climbed furthrely, stopping be-
hind oak trunks, and in the shadow of
wild plum thickets, to study the dis-
tant rim of hills, and each narrow op-
eging directly ahead, before he cross-
e it.

Fifty feet below the house he emerg-
edofrom the scrub oak, paused for a
brief final survey, and then went for-
ward unhurriedly toward the kitchen
door. He had covered half the dis-
tance when Pete Whitbeck stepped
around the corner of the house from
the shade of the upslope side and
faced him. He neither stopped nor
spoke till he was within reach of old
Pete. Then he rested a hand against

deadly calm—“an’ you’re standin’ on
the edge of a six-foot hole in the
ground, right now!”

The stranger’s amused smile’ did not
fade, nor did his level gray eyes flick
away from the other's. -

“I wonder,” he said with cool con-
tempt, “if you know that the bank at
Bigspring has just been robbed, and
the cashier shot?”

Whitbeck’s eyes narrowed in their
bloodshot rims at this, and the brown
rifle barrel moved slightly, so that it
rested on the edge of the old rain tub,
and the stranger, glancing down, could
trace the line of it to his own body.

“No, an’ I don’t give a damn! What
of it, anyway?"

“Nothing," the other said pleasant-
ly, “Only I did it.” His voice rose
ever so little and there grew in it a
metallic note.

“You swore twelve years ago to
shoot a man. Well, less than an hour
ago, I did shoot one.” .

He dropped a hand to the muzzle of
Pete’s rifle, and swept it lightly aside.
Before it could swing back to cover
him, he had turned his arm so that his
own weapon, resting in its crook,
brushed the other’s shoulder lightly
and stopped against the weather red-
dened throat.

“Guess I’ll” have to come in and sit
down a while,” he said slowly. “Just
till they get through huntin for me
around the hills yonder. I on't sup-
pose any of the neighbor’s will look
in here if they know about your prom-
ise.” His voice grew friendly. “You
know, Pete, I like your system. It’s
a good thing to have a place of your
.own, where you’re sure you can be
undisturbed.”

The kitchen door above him opened,
and Anemone stood in it, clear out
against the dim light within the shad-
ed room. She wore a plain long dress
of calico whose blue was dulled by the
gentians in her eyes. Her hair—yel-
low hair, like the silk of the unripened
corn in the August fields—hung over
her shoulders in two‘ plain raids.

The stranger sensed this hidden
spirit of- the pledge of golden things
about her, while ,she stared” down at
him, there within a yard of old Pete,
too shy to speak. Promise—that Was
the wo ! A wealth of something that
would follow always upon the heels
of the Wealth she already had! A leaf-
graced branch with the promise of

owers upon it~fiowers pled nglfrult
to follow. A hush in a big -vau‘lted
roof where one waits for music to be-
gin—the thought of tears in the heart

when the music stops!

He lifted the hand that had rested
by the hammer .of the rifle and took
his gray felt hat from his head. Save
for this he gave no sign that he saw
her there. Made no attempt to speak,
and after that first minute when their
eyes had met and held, he even looked
away, beyo d Pete, at the crest of
woods alon the hill.

Pete Whit eck, who had ruled Plum
Hollow for a dozen years, knew mas-
tery in the instantwhen the strang-
er's hand brushed his leveled rifle
aside. He turned now, without award,
:fitiymotioned past the girl in the door-

“Go in," he said grud ugly. '

The robber stepped peg}: him, swing-
ing his rifle down, putting the old hill-
man at his back, without even a glance
across his shoulder to watch for
treachery. As Whitbeck knew mastery
when it was laid upon him, this man
knew surrender when it came.

Anemone, wide-eyed and scared,
step ed back to let him in. He cross-
ed t e kitchen and leaned his rifle in
a corner behind the stove, as if the
place were his own. Then he came
back and sat down beside the rough
dropleaf table, where he could look
out the single high window. He laid
his hat on the floor beside his chair,
crossed his hands on the table before
him, and leaned back at ease.

Whitbeck had sat down across the
1 ble, without taking off his drooping

rimmed hat. He crossed his knees
and laid the rifle sidewise in his lap.
The stranger saw and smiled without
comment. Pete ulled a stained clay
pipe from his poc at and filled it, from
a box on the clock shelf above his
head, reaching up for the box without
I‘lSlng. Never once did his eyes leave
the bandit’s face.

It was a strange afternoon, drawn
with a tension that could be felt. Only
the outlaw, sitting there by the win-
dow, looking out into the warm after-
noon sunshine that flooded the H01-
low: seemed free of the, strain impos-
ed by the steady boding presence of
the threat of death.

Old Whitbeck did not speak once
while the hours dra god aWay, meas-
ured on in unhurrie seconds by the
old wooden clock on its shelf. He sat, ‘
sullen and Watchful, smoking pipe af-
ter ipe, with ,the'ready brown bar-
rele rifle acrosshis knees. Anemone
moved about the. kitchen, too fright-
ened to leave the-room or to sit down,
making a nervous pretense of the af-
ternoon's work.

Once she leaned across the table be-
tween the two men to gather up the
few dinner dishes. The round sand-
stone frcm a hillside gully that she
used to scrape her frying pans, lay on
a big clam shell from the creek bot-
tom, within a few inches of the strang-
er’s hand. She reached for the grease
stained, discolored stone, and as she
lifted it her hand brushed across his.
She started and turned quickly away.
The-man was aware of a stran e sense
of stirred emotions at the flee ng con-
tact. A touch as soft as a falling
flower petal might be, yet richly warm
as a shaft of, October sunshine!

work again.

Long tree shadows crept up the
‘ slope finally. The sun grew to a huge
red orb, barred by the scrub oak
trunks on the ridge across the H01-

00K into the calls of Bible lead-
L ers.. Jeremiah hears the voice
of the Eternal, but says, “Ah,
Lord God! behold I cannot speak for
i am a child.” Amos disclaims being
different from others. “I was no
prophet, neither was I a prophet’s
son; but I was an herdsman, and a
gatherer of sycamore fruit. And the
Lord took me as I followed the flock,
and the Lord said unto me, ‘Go,
prophesy." Isaiah’s call was the most
spectacular of any, except Paul’s. But
{each and all of these is the subject of
a call that comes to a man who is not
anxious to make himself conspicuous,
' and who would
much prefer to be
passed by. Moses
says, “Who am I,
that I should go
unto Pharoah,
and that I should
bring the chil-
dren of Israel out
of Egypt?"

were not greatly different from oth-
ers, but they had a keener sense of

the Divine. Some years ago I went
through the famous Barnardo homes,
in London, England, where some eight
or nine thousand waits are cared for\
each year. Dr. Barnardo, the founder
of this huge enterprise, was preparing}
himself for the foreign field in mis-l
sions, and had graduated in medicine
withgthat in mind. He had a small
class of urchins in Whitechapel, the
poor section of London. One night
one of the boys remained after the
others had gone. The young teacher
reminded him that he had better -go
home, and was told that the boy had
’no home. “Where do you sleep?" was
the next question. “Come and I’ll show
you.” Bernardo followed his ragged
guide until he found a group of boys
sleeping on a roof under the open sky,
huddled together like pigs or puppies,
to keep warm. So the young physician
said to himself, “This is my China.”
From that hour thoughts of going to.
the far east were given up, and he
gave. himself in ministry to the home-
less and crippled children of the poor,

in Medan.

Egyptian who is abusing a Hebrew.
He did not intend to kill the man. He
gave him a biff, but biffed a little
harder than he intended. Then fol-
lows his flight and the forty years of
silence and solitude in the wilderness,
as shepherd. A good time to think,
to formulate plans, to listen for the
voice of God. The modern would say
that he had been defeated, inasmuch
as he had not made a distinct success
by forty. But God takes forty years
on top of forty to get his man ready.
Moses is eighty before he begins the
great work of his life. God is unhur—
ried.

We would do well not to be driven
by the feverishness of the time.

The stars come nightly to the sky,
The tidal Wave unto the sea;

Nor time nor place nor deep nor high
Can keep my own away from me.

Up to eighty it looks as though
Moses’ life had been a failure, or pret-
ty close to it. He had married the
daughter of a well-to-do farmer, and
had worked hard himself. Otherwise
he would have been headed for the
poor house.

What is success, anyway?

The characteristic that impresses us
here is the humility of the man. Lat-
er it was said of him, “Now the man
Moses was very meek, above all the
men that were upon the face of the
earth,” Numbers 12:3.‘ He could not
think of himself that he was fitted for
the task laid upon him. He has as
‘many excuses as an indolent church
member. He cannot talk well, he de-
clares, and he is not known, and all
the rest of it. Perhaps Moses cannot
talk fluently, but he has ideas, thereby
being different from his brother Aaron,
who can talk, but has nothing worth
saying.

The most humble man may be the
one called to the great service. Des-
pise not the bashful youth who stut-
ters and stammers, and whose feet
and hands seem such a source of em-
barrassment to him. He may be 2.
Moses, at Lincoln. God is still sum-
moning men to great tasks.

OME day when you do not know
quite what to have for lunch or
dinner, try these simple dishes.
They have the advantage of being ap-
petizing and really economical. The
first is called
Cod in Batter.
Take a half pound of boneless cod-
Ifish pieces. Soak in water over night.
Drain and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Prepare a batter as follows:

Beat two eggs until light. Add one
rounding tablespoonful of flour, two
tablespoonfuls of milk, a quarter of a
teaspoonful of baking powder, and a
little pepper. Beat until. smooth and
creamy. Coat the pieces of codfish
quite thickly with the batter.

Have plenty of hot fat in a spider.
Fry very slowly until the batter is gol-
den brown. Serve on a hot platter,
garnished with pieces of parsley.

If the codfish you have is picked up
into small pieces soak it just the same,
drain. and press dry. Then stir the
pieces into the batter, frying in fritter
form. Half a pound prepared in eith-
er way, will serve five people amply.
It is a delicious and economical dish,
and prepared in this way is according
to an old and favorite New England
, recipe.

’ Ham in Cream.

; It often happens that when ham is
ffried, it is rather disappointing be-
cause of being too dry, too salt, too
hard. or lacking in the flavor and
mellvowness which we associate with
ham at its best. Try this plan and
the family will be sure to relish it.

Have cut a slice of ham to the thick—
ness you desire. Parboil the ham, be-
ing careful never to allow it to boil,
but just to simmer. Cover it first with
luke-warm water and let it parboil
ten or fifteen minutes. Drain. Flat-
ten by snipping the edges if neces-
Sary. Put into a buttered baking dish
and cover with milk. Add several dots
of butter, a little pepper, and a few
grains of onion salt. Or, if preferred,
several slices of onion may be laid on
top of the ham. Bake in a moderate
oven until the ham is tender. Remove
to a hot platter.

Thicken the remaining gravy with
a rounding teaspoonfulof cornstarch
so that it will be the consistency of
medium cream. Pour over the ham.
Finish .with a dust of paprika and a
little parsley as a garnish. Serve with
mashed potato hot boiled rice, or
French fried potatoes.

Corn Trieste.

This dish is an excellent supper
dish to use up the left-over corn from
dinner. To make it, mix two cups of
corn, cut from the cOb, with two ta-
blespoonsful of minced green pepper
and the same amount of minced sweet
red pepper. Add a half teaspoon of
minced onion and a. cup of white
sauce. Place in a greased baking
dish, sprinkle with bread crumbs, dot
with butter, and bake for thirty min-
utes in moderate oven—Mrs. E. M. G.

 

.TRIED WAYS OF RAISING FUNDS
FOR CHURCH OR CLUB.

 

ROGRESSIVE groupsof organized

 

women are always on the lookout

for new and different Ways of raising.

fluids for their treasury. The meme
1? item or one club, I know, raise ever-

 

lasting flowers each summer. In the
fall these, with the wild things that
work in so charmingly for winter bou-
guets, are arranged in bunches of var-
ious sizes. They have a stand at the
[county fair and have no difficulty in
disposing of all their bouquets. Some
'are sold in home-made baskets.

Last fall our own club netted a neat
sum from the refreshments stand at
the county fair. We left the ice cream

 

,and cold drinks to others, but served
sandwiches and coffee with real coun-
try cream. A large- lettered sign an-
nounced to the public that the stand
was run by the Columbine Club.

The members of one group of wom-
en were asked to take their monthly
dues for one month and invest in
something that would bring returns,
which was to be turned into the treas-
ury. The dues are ten cents a month.

OLDWATER Grange Hall was

filled to overflowing when the

VVomen’s Nutrition Classes from
different parts of the county held their
Achievement Day, following a six
months’ series of lessons on “Feeding
the Family.” Miss Martha Mae Hunt-
er, nutrition specialist of the exten-
sion department of the Michigan State
College; Miss Julia Brekke, field or-
ganizer of extension work in the home
economics division of the college, and
Miss Edith W'agar, of the State Farm
Bureau, were present, and spoke to
an. appreciative audience. The large
crowd present unanimously voted to
petition the board of supervisors to
appropriate funds at their June meet-
ing for the continuance of extension
work in Branch county.

Meal-planning posters were display-
ed, showing well—planned meals for the
family, for the pre-school child, also
good school lunches and community
meals. A map of the geitre belt show-
ed foods rich in iodine. Posture charts
and a display of shoes showed the re-
lation between properly shod feet and
correct posture.

“The'oldtime tonics of sulphur and
molasses, and a dark looking bottle
labeled “Dosem & Dopem Spring Med~
icine” were exhibited in contrast with
the tonics of today found in whole~
grains, green and leafy vegetables,
fruits and cod liver oil. A lime chart
indicated the necessity of lime in the
diet to insure permanence of bones
and teeth, and displayed foods in-
amounts containing as much lime as
a child’s tooth.

At noon a nutrition dinner was serv-
ed to mere than 200 people by the
women of Goldwater Grange. Then
came singing of a clever “Nutrition
Song,” written by Mrs. A. L. Lott, with

a final stanza added by Mrs. Fred.

Shilling, who led the singing. Mrs.
A. R. Kibbie gave an informal talk on
the possibilities of drying greens for
winter use.

 
 

Then the play, “Healthy Town,” was
given on the lawn by the Fourth
\Vard School. A class of young girls
demonstrated several corrective exer-
cises. Harold Sfockwell gave an in-
teresting resume of nutrition work in
his district school. Children who learn
at school the value of proper foods
prove good missionaries of the gospel
of balanced ration for the family.

Lighter notes were introduced in the
afternoon program by Miss Jesse
Craun’s presentation in costume, of
Edgar Guest’s poem, “A Boy and His
Stomach,” and by Mrs. R. R. Fox in
a burlesque on the “Ode to Posture,”
which furnished the audience much
merriment. Mr. Andres, county agri—
cultural agent, in closing the meeting,
expressed his appreciation of exten-
sion work in the county—C. W. A.

Cherries

Oh, I am so happy for yesterday,

Oh, the dtree was laden with cherries

And we laughingly filled our pails
to the brim,
While the hours swiftly as the wind
seemed sped,
When we started for home in the
twilight dim.

Oh, the.stars came out as we came

away. ' .
And my heart beat wildly, madly
with glee,
For some of the cherries I picked yes-

ant surprise for the family.

  

  

Why not .

All the time; and home products might
be used that was desired, but only the
ten cents was to be invested.~ One
member invested in sweet pea seed,
and sold $12 worth. of blossoms to res-
taurants and eating houses that sum~
mer. Another invested in butter pa-
pers, which were used to cover her
home-made cottage cheese that she
took to her home town and sold, both
to grocers and private families. One

bought a bag of salt. With home-grown.

potatoes and home-rendered lard she
made saratoga chips that sold readily
during the picnic season. These she
made on Saturday morning, delivering
them Saturday afternoon to the gro-
cers, who had a greater call for them
than could be supplied. The-possibili-
ties of this plan are almost endless.

‘ANOTHER USE FOR AN.OLD CUP-

BOARD.

 

N acquaintance uses a second-hand
cupboard for a sewing cupboard,
instead of using boxes or bags. She
has no sewing room so the cupboard
sits in the hall. It is painted to har-
monize with other furnishings. It is
an old style, with doors above and
below, and two drawers between. One
draWer is used for patterns and the
other is used for laces and trimmings.
The top shelf is used for new mate-
rial. The second shelf is used for gar-
ments that are to be made over or re-
modeled. The lowest shelf of the up-
per compartment is used for mending.
The entire loWer compartment is
given over to pasteboard boxes just
the right size to fit in snugly. These
are used for various purposes. One
holds gingham, percales and other
scraps of wash goods, for patches,
while one holds silks, and one holds
woolens. Another holds remnants of
white goods.

On the inside of the doors are fast-
ened flat' pockets of cretonne. These
are of various sizes, and are used for
a variety of purposes. One small one
holds embroidery‘threads, another the
packages of bias bindings—Mrs. N. P.

HOW TO MAKE QHEESE AT HOME.
IN responSe to Mrs. P. Dz’s request
for making cheese, I am sending
my recipe. For twelve gallons of milk
take about six gallonsof evening milk.
Aerate well by pouring from one pail
to another several times. Leave cov-
ered with a cloth at a temperature of
sixty degrees to seventy degrees until
morning. Then pour in with another
six gallons of fresh milk into a boiler.
Place.this boiler on the stove and

" heat to not less than eighty-six de-
grees, or more than ninety degrees,
then raise from fire by placing bricks
under boiler. The milk then is ready
to 'set. After raising milk from fire,
mix one teaspoon of color with one-
half glass of cold water. Pour into
milk and stir well. Next comes the
rennet. Dissolve one rennet tablet in
one-half glass of cold water and add
to milk and stir slowly two minutes.
Let milk stand perfectly quiet for
twenty minutes, or until curd is ready
to cut. During this time, boiler is
raised. At the end of twenty minutes,
try curd by pushing forefinger like a
hook into curd. If it breaks clean
across like jelly, it is ready to cut
with a-long knife, first lengthwise,
then crosswise, leaving the curd in
,tone-half-inch squares. After cutting,

let it stand five minutes. Then place
boiler back on stove, raising temper-
attire slowly to ninety-eight degrees,
stirring slowly all the time. When
ninety-eight degrees is reached, re-
move from fire and cover closely for
forty minutes.

Then try curd by taking up a hand-
ful and squeezing it. If it falls apart
easily, it is ready to have all whey
drained off. After it is drained, mix

four ounces of fine salt int-o curd very

 
   
 

thoroughly. It is then ready for t
press. The press may be made of
heavy tin ten inches in diameter
fifteen inches high, with 11
bottom. A two-gallon jar wi h bottom
out can be used.

Line press with cheese 10th and
pack in curd as closely as possible.
On top, place round board and on that
put a weight. First put two weights,
five pounds apiece; 'gradually add
more.

After it is pressed several hours,
take out and smooth out cheesecloth
covering, replace in press jar and put
on more weights. Leave there twenty-
four hours. Then take out and put in
a. room with a good circulation of air.
For the first week, turn cheese several
times a day. At the end of first week,
take off cheesecloth cover and use a
paint brush and cover cheese all over
with paraflin to keep moist and pro-
tect from flies, then turn only once or
twice daily. At end of six weeks it is
ready to use—Mrs. R. L. C.

Adventures of Tilly and Billy

 
  
   

T lze End of #26 Dream ,

WON'T ever be forgetful again,”
promised Buzzie Bumble-Bee when
he had told Tilly and Billy about
his broken wings. “When I get my new
wings I’m going to fly and fly and fly.”

Right then illy remembered, too,
that it didn’t pay to be forgetful. For
one day Billy, himself, had forgotten
his lunch~basket as he hurried off to
school, and his little tummy was very,
very empty before he got home from
school that night.

“Now we will be on our way to see
W‘inkum’s Rock,” said Nicky Gnome
as be started hobbling off down the
path. ,

"If I only had my new wings I would
go with you,” said Bugzie Bumble Bee.

and Billy went hurrying along trying
to keep Nicky Gnome in sight as they
made their way around this rock and
behind that one.

“Oh, oh, What is that?” suddenly
called Billy as he spied a flower peek-
ing its pretty face from behind a bush.

"Oh, it’s a four-o’clock,” said Tilly,
when she spied it. “It’s just like the
one Aunty has in her garden. Aunty
told me the story about it, too. She
said the four-o’clock was a very lazy
little fellow. He sleeps all day and
doesn’t wake up to blossom until four
o'clock in the afternoon. Then he
stays awake all night and goes to
sleep in the morning.”

“Look here, Nicky Gnome,” called
Billy, “we have found a four-o’clock,”
but Nicky was out of sight.

“We must hurry or Nicky will leave
us,” said Tilly. “Nicky, Nicky,” she
called as they hurried along the rocky
path. But no Nicky answered, nor
could they find him anywhere.

“We are lost," said Tilly, and a big
tear rolled down her cheek and ker—
splashed on her dress. “Which way
will we go ?”

But right then, Billy spied a sign.
“To Winkum’s Rock, Slumberville,” it
said. Only a little way beyond they
came to the big rock. No sooner had
they reached it than it began to move.
Yes, sir, the big rock opened just like
a door.

“Oh, hum, hum,” yawned Tilly and
she stretched herself and looked
about. Billy sat up too, and blinked
his sleepy eyes. .

“Why, why, I guess I have been
dreaming,” said Billy.

"I guess I have, too," said Tilly.

' “Where did Nicky Gnome go?" ask-
ed Billy sleepily.

“I was looking for the same little
fellow," answered Tilly.

"My, my. but it is getting late,” said
Billy, as the saw the long shadows
dancing across the~ meadow. “We
must hurry home.”

On the way home they told each

”other all about their dream trip to

Gnomeville, and the strange thing
about it was. that they had each taken
the very samedream trip. ‘

.eble safety achievement, which was
largely the result of a cooperative
spirit obtaining between employer
and employee.

Travel by railroad is only a third
as hazardous as it was thirteen
years ago. The n mber of passen-
ger fatalities was educed from 441
in 1913 to 175 in 1925. Railway
employment, likewise, is only a
third as hazardous as thirteen years
ago. The number of employee fa-
talities was reduced from 3,715 in
1913 to 1,523 in 1925.

Crossing accidents present a new
problem. Last year 22 per cent of
these accidents were due to auto-
mobiles running into the side of
trains. A large majority occurred
in daylight where the approaching
train could be seen, and at cross-
ings in the locality where the driv-
er resided. '

The New York Central Lines were
moon the pioneers in the promo-
tion organized safety work in the
United States. Carrying 10 per
cent of the passengers and having
nearly 10 per cent of the total num-
ber of railroad employees, this
tranSportation system has contrib-
uted substantially to this remark-

Two EsSays by Boys.

flHeréert and George UJ‘E T lzez'r Mind: During Vacation

.Advantages of Rural Life.

People say city life is more inter-
esting and pleasant than country life.
Bosh! plain nonsense! The city does
oflewights, many of them beautiful,
but what can match the beauty of na-
ture in her iridescence and foliage, her
purity and quiet?

In the city during the hot summer
months, life gets insipid, when the
heat is reflected by the pavement and
buildings. You can go to the park to
get. nearer nature, and find that it is
already crowded, and the grass is
worn off, and is a veritable, crowded
sandlot. While, on the other hand, in
the country you can go to the woods
and find quiet, beauty and pleasure.

 

 

 

 

This M. C. is Having a Wooly Ride,
Even if it is Not a Wild One.

No din or noise of machinery disturbs
your thoughts, and you can rest in
quiet thoughtfulness.

In the matter of work, the farmer
can do what he wants to and when he
wants to, with no one watching him to
see that he does everything just so,
while the city employe works in an
unhealthy factory or stuffy office, and
obeys another’s orders. In other
words, the farmer is his own boss,
while a city man is a paid servant.

The city people’s lives are endanl
gered by reckless drivers and things,
and many people lose their lives year-
ly, caused by these things.

The city offers better educational
chances, but the country offers a grade
and high school education, and the
farm boy don’t have to pay any more
to go to college than city youths. I
have not named half of the country’s
advantages yet, and I would like more
opinions pro and con.

This is our chance, boys, as you
surelagyflwrite on this subject.

I co name the city’s advantages,

Education.

Education really covers a large

scope, but we usually think of receive

ing an education by attending school.
There are many ways of receiving an
education. Lincoln received his, not
at school, but through hard labor and
determination. An experienced educa~
tion is very expensive.

I am strongly in favor of everyone
having at least a high school educa-
tion. Some things which are taught
in high school are much easier and
quicker methods, which otherwise you
would not have received.

High school, as some think, is a
place for the idle children to gather.
It is not. A high school education is
a short cut to higher ideals of life.

Some people carry the idea that
farmers need but little education. I
think that is the reason we have so
many poor farmers.

Many have expressed their opinion
on choosing a partner. I will say but
little on this, as it is a rather danger-
ous subject to discuss. I think for
such a matter you need a “good” edu-
cation—Truly yours, George Nichols.

Dear Uncle Frank:

I haven’t written to you for some
time, as I have been too busy. I am
just going to give you my assumed
name,.which I have used while writ-
ing to you for some time. I am, how-
ever, a Merry Circler, and some day
I’ll write and give you my name and
address.

Uncle Frank, how would it be if
the Michigan Farmer started another
department for young people between
the ages of, well, say seventeen and
twenty-one? Then the Merry Circle
could be for people just up to sixteen.
I am seventeen and I feel ages older
than the people who write the Mer1y
Circle letters. I graduated from high
school a year ago, and consequently
have always seemed older than my as-
sociates of my own age.

Yours for a better Michigan Farm-
er, “Sweetheart. ”

Another plea for a sixteen-and-up
department. We’ll have to see about
it. Why should you feel old? ‘Most
expressed on 'our
page are old enough for anybody. I
hope you’ll soon come across with
your name.

I“NeVer be flat, sometimes be sharp,

Jasper, Mich. _

I believe I get more enjoyment out
of music than anything else. I have
seen the motto you mentioned, and
wish I could print it as it usually is
given.

 

Dear Uncle Frank.

Well, in the first place, I want to
tell you that “Vic” is a girl, instead of
a boy, as some of you seem to think.

Alphonso La Vaul,1 am sorry Igave
you the impression of picking a girl
the same way you would pick out a
horse or cow. I ce1tainly did not
mean that I fully agree with you that
a wife must be a good companion. I
did not mean that you should not
choose a pretty girl. I meant that you
should not choose them for their looks
alone, because it takes more than a
pretty face to make a- man happ py. ‘
Yes, there are many pretty girls who
can cook and sew, and who have many
other accomplishments. There are
also girls who do not have pretty

faces, but have a beautiful mind and '
soul that makes them doubly attrac-_
tive to some men. girls do

Aldtbf

'must have high intelligence.

  

not seem to realize this, however, and
do not try to show their better inner
self when they are with boys. -'

You said a beautiful girl alone can
make a home attractive. I hardly
agree with you. Many Women who are
not beautiful to most people are beau-
tiful to their husbands for what they
are in soul and mind. A girl should
not be measured by her looks, but by
what she really is. —-Your Niece, “Vic. ”

It was amusing to see others refer
to you as a boy. Of course, I was in
on the secret. I like your sentiments.

 

Hello, Folks:

I don’t agree with you, Herbert,
about the change in “Our Page.” Of
course, this-isn’t a fashion page, but
the change is going to be for our ben-
efit. It’s going to encourage others to

write, because they can see we’re not .

"behind the times.”

I agree with Guilford. Why argue
about boyish bobs, knickers, smoking
and the Charleston? Eyeryone has his
own views of them and arguing won’t
change them. To start the ball a-roll-
ing, I’m not going to give my views.

With all my school books dumped
in the creek, and my knowledge pack-
ed away until autumn, I feel like talk-
ing about vacation. I suppose some
day soon I must write my farewell
letter, but how I hate to! Every week
I can see some new point added to
make "Our Page” more interesting.
What is the retiring age, Uncle Frank?
I am an old M. C. writer in disguise.
_‘lPep.,’

Don’t pack your knowledge away,
for it will get rusty. Rusty knowledge
has no market value these days. I
presume you gave your books to the
fish. That’s pretty hard on the books,
and the fish, too. The retiring age is
eighteen, but we have reunions at
which retired M. C.’s can have their

say.

 

Dear M. C.’ s and 00.:

The very idea of changing the head- ,

ing of our page. Some stylish, up- -to-
date people are always wanting things
changed.

As for the Charleston, the. girls that
do it for exercise had better ride the
disc for a while. You would get plen-
ty of exercise, and at the same time
be helping, too.

Guilford Rothfuss, I envy you for
winning so many prizes, but thirteen
is an unlucky number, so that is a
good sign you cannot win any more.

I will stand up to anyone and let
them know I am no relation to monk-
eys, even though I may look like one.

Well, I must stop my chattering and
comb my bobbed hair and put on some
clean knickers-Your M. C. Cousin
and Niece, Emma Kushmaul.

Change is one of the permanent
things in this world. If it were not
for change, we would still be living
like savages or monkeys, as some
think. Years ago, I heard a-preacher
say that often he preferred monkeys,
as monkeys would not do many things
men did.

 

Dear Uncle Frankz.

You all would no doubt be much
surprised if you knew “Vic” was a
girl instead of a boy, as many cousins
thought when they wrote. I know
“Vic” well, and was surprised to see
her opening up as she did. She sure
can give some good advice, which
some of those empty-headed girls
should absorb. How about it, boys? .

. dollars.

About my sister' s letter—she sure
has it in for those high school pupils.

She makes me laugh about her doing

all the wro'rk around home. She thinks
she is awfully mistreated. About all
she 1eally does do is hold the front
yard down, and wave at all those.

and weighs about 150, so she can hold
the yard down pretty well

How’s the weather?
sweated this summer yet, and it is
haying time already. I am afraid our
com will never get ripe this year.
That’s right, maybe my sister does
all the sweating here. I must close
now as it’s nine o’clock, which is my
bed time when I’m home.

Hoping “Vic” and you all will have
a good time during your high school
vacation. -——Your M. C. reader, Harold
Kampen, Goldwater, Mich.

I guess “Vic" started something, all
right. I hope that you and your sister
don’t get worked up over the work
question. I hope that by this time
you have had occasion to sweat.

HESE scrambles are popular be-
cause there are not many things
more interesting than gettingghatters,
and the scrambles help one to get
letters. .
Here is the way to do it: Write a
letter to Dear Unknown Friend, or
Dear Merry Circler, and then address
an envelope to yourself and put a.
stamp on it. Also, address an envelope
to Uncle Frank, Michigan Farmer, De-
troit, Michigan, and put your letter

the lett rAanh'e envelope addressed
to me ifsabove fourteen years, write
the letter B on the envelope. Send
your letter in so that it will be at this

scrambled then. Your letter will be
put in the envelope belonging to some-

‘one else, and another letter put in

yours, and all sent out. By this scram-
ble' you get two chances for a cor-
respondent.

.\ .Lice and Mites

Same Suggertz'om Regarding T heir Control

AT this season of the year lice and
mites become a serious problem,
and many poultrymen fail to realize
the seriousness of these pests, until
after they have caused their flocks
hundreds of dollars’ worth of damage.

In the minds of many, lice and mites
are considered as the same parasite,
and not distinguished between. They
are, however, distinctly different par—
asites, different in appearance, differ-
ent habits, and different life histories.

In Michigan, the common hen louse
is the straw louse, straw colored, and
about one-sixteenth to one-eighth of
an inch in length when mature. These
lice are present in practically all
flocks of poultry, and on many wild
birds. They live on the skin of the
bird, and are biting insects, contrary
t0" the opinion of most poultrymen.
They do not suck the blood from the
host, but merely bite off particles of’
skin andwhen present in large num-
bers, seriously annoy the host birds
and may become so numerous on the
host as to seriously affect the health
and production of the host birds. In
examining chickens for lice, they will
usually be found present in large num«
here about the vent, and on the under-
side of thenneck, and in many cases
the nits or eggs of these parasites will
be deposited at the bade of the feath-
e1 s, in these sectiIOns in such numbers
as .to form masses of lice eggs, some-
times one—half inch in diameter.

Body lice can be controlled by a
thorough dusting of the bird with
sodium fluoride and in dusting with
this preparation, particular Care should
be taken to‘make certainthat the skin
of the bird about the vent and around
the neck is well covered with powder.
This treatment will also control other
varieties of body lice, feather lice, and
feather mites, common in Michigan,
and it is always good policy to dust
each bird individually in the entire.

hock early in the spring, and again in

before}. going into winter quare

 

  
  

It is not advisable to use sodium
fluoride in the dust bath, as it will get
into the chicken’s eyes and nasal pas-
sages. and set up an inflammation that
may seriously affect the bird. And it
should not be used on chicks less than
ten days old.

1 Mites.

Mites are much s‘maller in size than
the common chicken louse, are found
in large numbers, in poultry houses,
about the perches, nests, etc., where

\care is not exercised to prevent or kill

them. Upon close examination, the
common red chicken mite looks very
much like a miniature spider, ranging
in size from the microscopic, up to the
size of a head of a common pin.

They do not live on the bird, but
exist in cracks and crevices about the
nests, remaining in hiding during the
day, crawling onto the hens or chick-
ens during the night, sucking blood
from the body of the host, and return-
ing to their hiding places. It is very
seldom that mites are carried by the
bird longer than two or three days at
a time. Mites may be present, mil-
lions in number, before they are no-
ticed, and a good poultryman watches
carefully the undersides of perches,
and other cracks and crevices, for
these parasites. They are exceedingly
prolific and a. mite may become a
grandmother within a week, and a
thrifty mite female may lay up to 700
eggs in her short life.

It is impossible, or nearly .so, to
starve them, as they will live over in
a poultry house without food from
year to year, and much has been the
surprise of many poultrymen to exam-
ine a poultry house in the spring of
the year that has housed no chickens
for six or seven months, to find red
mites present in great numbers.

" COUNTY HERD EXHIBI'ts.

 

NE new feature at the Michigan
State Fair on September 5—11, will
be the county herd clues providing
competition between ecunties in the
,various breeds. If. a. single exhibitor

combine with breeders of the same
breed and show in the county iherd
Iclass. If he has an especially strong
individual, he can also win a percent-
age of the prize money for the one ‘or
two animals that he owns that are
high point winners.

Another strong feature of this year
will be a special competition among
state institution herds. The’manage-
ment of the fair has provided special
classes so that the fancy show herd
from the state farms at Traverse City,
Pontiac, Ionia, and other points, will
have plenty of competition without
showing against private owners who
may have strong herds, but whose
herds rank high as to breeding and
utility...
The cattle department of the fair
,vvill be supervised this year, the same
as last, by Robert Barney, a leading
breeder of Traverse City. Prof. O. E.
,Reed, of the Dairy Husbandry Depart-
ment of the Michigan State College,
has given a. great deal 'of attention to
the forthcoming cattle exhibit at the
State Fair. He has also been named
chairman of the National Dairy Ex—
position executive committee. This
exposition will be held on the State
Fair grounds October 6-13. .
Michigan is fast becoming agreat
.dairy state, and interest in the dairy
cattle classes is growing with leaps
and bounds.

$2.00 PER TON.

 

. ARM manure is worth from $1.00
to $3.00 a ton, varying according

to the. soil and crops with which it is
used, with an average of $1.97 a ton.
These figures were obtained from ex~
ten‘sive experiments conducted cooper-
atively by farmers who used applica-

tests.

The value of manure was derived
from averaging the actual crop in-
crease secured through applying ma-
nure. A ten—year average was taken
for the value of the various crops. In
this schedule corn was valued at sev-
enty-three cents per bushel; oats at
forty-four cents; wheat at $1.34; bar-
ley at sixty—two cents; rye at $1.02!

INCREASED INTENSIVE DAIRY-
|.NG

 

HE inc1eased interest in dairying

is emphasized by the fact that the
inte1- state movemélit cf dairy cattle
is twenty- eight per cent greater this
year than last. Reports to the bureau
of animal industry show that the sev-
en states which have contributed the

largest number of cattle'to the inter- .

state movement are Wisconsin, Min-
nesota, New York, Tennessee, Illinois,
Texas and Mississippi. These animals
are believed to be used largely for the
establishment and enlargement of
herds, and also for replacing cows con-
demned because of tuberculosis. The
general health condition of the ani-
mals is considered satisfactory. Dur-
ing the ten-month period ending May
1, 342,615 cattle were tested for inter-
state movement, with only nine-tenths
of one per cent being classified 'as re-
actors. This means that only one an-
imal in 100 was found to have tuber-
culosis.

tub for his sags It felt both 'sorry
and glad I’m- niy “neighbor while we
were building this “plggies’ bath tub,”
tor the“ season that‘this neighbor was
like a good. many other peeple until
he met with. some very heavy losses
from the use of the old-style mudhole
bath tub. He never took much stock
in spending money for cement and
labor to build a bath tub for his hogs,
when, as he said: they would root out
and build” their own bath tub to suit
themseiyes. This neighbor got along
very'well for years with the mudhole
for a‘hath‘ tub, but there came a time
When it-p‘roved to be very expensive.
, Down in the corner of the field was
an old :hole in the ground that had
been used for a wallow for, I don’t
know how long. So far as is known,
nothing had was caused from it till
last year. The weather was extremely
dry and warm, and water had to be
henledto fill the hole up. It was filled
several times and became'very toul.
This neighbor kept on filling it,. time
after. time Just the same, till one day
he asked me to come over and see
what was wrong with his hogs. They
were all-sick and seemed to be in bad
shape." I hustled over and looked at
the hogs. . Some were in the wallow,
unable to get out, others just out a
little waysand unable to go farther.
I told him that I thought that the old
wallow was the cause of the sickness,
but I suggested that he call in a vet-
erinarian. He asked me to do the
calling, as he was almost heartbroken.
Things looked blue, for they were
what he was depending on to meet
the approaching mortgage payment.
The veterinarian came and looked the
hogs over and examined the wallow
as well as he could.-

Just as I had guessed, he told this
man that there was nothing to do but
to lose most of the hogs, but that if
he would get the others out of that
filthy place and let them have some
clean water so they could get cleaned
off. they might recover, He said that
no kind of medicine would be of hen-
efit-so long as they wallowed in that
filthy mire. He never gave any spe-
cial name for their troubles, and I did
not care for any myself, for I saw the
cause, and. of course, the remedy was
easy. I really felt sorry for this man,
for he is a good neighbor, and really
did not realize this filth would ulti-
mately be the cause of so much loss.

All the hogs that were able to go
were taken to another place, and a
fresh hole dug for them, and the vet-
erinarianltold him to allow them to
use the new one only a few days and
then make another change. Perhaps
they would then change for the better.

A few of the hogs recovered, but
the bulk of them were lost, and then
he decided to build a good concrete
wallow, which we have-just complet-
ed. He has equipped his hog bath tub
with water so that he can have it
moving all the time “if he wants to.
Last tell he built a good-sized pond
on a. hillside above where he intended
to build the “piggies’ bath tub,” and
has run a pipeline to the tub and has
an outlet to drain the tub. He can
turn the valve so it will feed slowly,
and can also open the outlet so it will
drain off slowly. and have- running
water. '

I just got to wondering how many
farmers have taken advantage of the
use of concrete to make a wallow for
their hogs, _ I have been around quite
a bit and I have seen but fem—R. B.

which cannot be regained later, re-
gardless; at how well fed and cared ~(for.

While the cell; is nursing its dam.
I consider it the best practice .to feed
the mother liberally so that she her-
self will keep in good flesh, and also
produce 'a good flow of rich milk.
Some horsemen practice turning the
more and tool to pasture immediately
fellowing foaling. This is a most ex-
cellent plan, but where it is impossi-
ble to lose the service of the mare.
during the working season, she must
be given extra care in order to keep
her in good flesh that she may pro-
duce abundant nourishment for her
colt.

My practiCe is to turn the mare and
foal to pasture for ten days following
foallng. I then put the mare back into
the harness and feed her liberally and
work her carefully. I think there is,
more danger of underfeeding the grow- p
ing colt than overfeeding. When the
mare is at work, I put the colt in a-
large roomy box stall, well ventilated.
I allow him to nurse three times daily
and run with his mother at night. I
wean him at six months of age.

The mother, if doing regular farm
work, must be well fed. I feed liber-
ally of mixed clover and timothy. For.
a grain ration I feed chopped oats and
wheat bran. I do not like to feed any
corn to a mare nursing her foal dur-
ing the summer months.

The growing colt, at all times,
should have plenty of exercise. I do
not allow the colt to run with the
mare while at work, but turn both.
into a small pasture at night for pas-
ture and exercise. I think it is much
better for both the mare and foal to
be on pasture a part of the time, as it
keeps the system of both in a healthy

pounds of milk and 30.5 pounds of
fat, the North Delta Cow Testing As-

sociation held the honors in May. The ‘

herd is'owned by Leo Cafmeyer, and
consists of twelve grade Holsteins.
They averaged 1,351 pounds of milk
and forty-five pounds of fat.

The high cow of all ages was a ma-
ture pure-bred Holstein owned at the
experiment station. She produced
2,664 pounds of milk and 84.6 pounds
of fat;

John Burliane’s pure-bred Holstein
led the two-year—old class with 1,798
pounds of milk, .and 64.7 pounds of
fat. Ploegstra Brothers, of Chippewa,
had the leader in three-year—old class
with a pure-bred Holstein which pro—
duced 2,049 pounds of milk and 75.8
pounds of fat.

Joe Bernard, of Dickinson county,
had the high-producing four-year-old,
a pure-bred Holstein, which produced
1,931 pounds of milk and 67.6 pounds
of fat. .

The associations for the peninsula
ranked as follows: North Delta, Dick-
inson, South Delta, East Chippewa,
South Menominee, Houghton, Rudyard,
Chippewa, Alger, North Menominee
and Marquette. ‘

The Iron-Gogebic County Cow Test-
ing Association started work on June
1 with Arnold Keskitalo as tester.
Eleven herds are in Iron county, and
the remainder in Gogebic.

WHEAT

Wheat prices have had a strong ral-
ly in the past week and the market
shows strong signs that the low points
of the season have already been seen.
If such proves to be the case, a chop-
py upward trend can be expected. A
brisk demand from mills and export-
ers for the heavy receipts of new
wheat, and serious crop _ damage to
spring wheat have been chiefly respon-
sible for the change of front. The
movement of new wheat to_ primary
markets is the heaviest at this season
in fifteen years or more. The large
crop in the southwest, the earliness
of harvest, and the premium for first
arrivals as compared with prices for
later shipment, have resulted in rush-
ing a tremendous volume of grain to
terminals. it is difficult, at times, to
discriminate between real and spur-
ious crop scares, but severe damage
has undoubtedly occurred in the north-
west. Sections where a fair crop was
expected a short time.ago now re-
port almost complete failure because
of drouth and extreme heat, and there,
is no compensating improvement else-
where. Rains that would relieve the
drouth would promote damage from
black rust which is present over a
wide territory.

OATS

The cats market is flabby because
of large stocks at terminals, the ap-
proach of the new crop movement, and
the listless demand. Primary receipts
in the last ten days have been smaller
than at any time in many years, but
a small increase was shown in the last
visible supply report, indicating the
narrowness 'of the demand. The new
crop forecast is 1,334,000,000 bushels“
or 11 per cent less.than last year.

The general situation in corn re-
mains unsatisfactory, however. The
visible supply of 30,000,000 bushels is
a record for this time of the year, and
nearly 18,000,000 bushels of it are at
Chicago. The July official forecast of
the new crop was only 2,661,000,000
bushels, compared with 2,902,000,000
last year. Unfavorable weather would
bring a gradually rising market.

SEEDS

Seed markets are dull and feature-
less, awaiting the outcome of new
crops and the appearance of fall de-

mand.
FEEDS '

' The undertone in the feed market is V

gradually strengthening, although as
yet demand has shown no improve-
ment. Higher grain prices are respon-
sible for the stronger tone. Offerings
of wheat feeds from mills are smaller.

EGGS

Hot weather is taking its toll in the
chicken yard, and egg production is
declining rapidly. Prices at the large
distributing markets are strengthen-
ing as receipts diminish. Consump-
tive demand is smaller than a year
ago in spite of the lower prices pre-
vailing. Storing of eggs is practically
completed, and the withdrawal of this
support will offset the decline in offer-
ings unless consumption broadens.
Fancy quality eggs are expected to in-
crease in value during the next few
months as average quality shows the
usual summer defects. Broilers are
in liberal supply and prices have de-
clined almost 50 per cent from the
high point. Producers apparently are
culling flocks closely as receipts of
dressed poultry at the leading mar-
kets since the first of June have been
the largest on record.

BUTTER

The butter market has steadied in
the past week and "while advances
from this point may be slow, sharp de-
clines are not expected. .With the ex-
ception of localized areas, pastures in
the principal dairy sections are report--
ed in fair to good condition, so that
milk production shouldishow no more
than the normal seasonal decline. Re-
ceipts of butter at the leading mar-
kets in June were only fractionally
larger than in June, 1925, however,
and supplies may not become burden-
some. Storage holdings of butter are
much larger than the average .and will
be a check on any tendency of prices
to advance. Additions to the present
stocks will continue to e made during
July and August.

Prices on 92-score creamery weref
Chicago 3814c; New York 40%c. In
Detroit fresh creamery in tubs sells
for 36@39c per pound.

POTATOES '

Markets are generously supplied
with potatoes and prices have weak-
ened. Mid-season states are beginning
to ship now, and with production in
the early and second-early states esti—
mated at considerably larger than a
year ago, the outlook favors a; liberal
mid-summer supply of potatoes. The
Kaw Valley of Kansas, which will be-
gin shipping in another fortnight, is
expected to have more potatoes this
season than last, in spite of the de-
creased acreage. Rains during June
were of great benefit in improving the
quality, although they were too late
to increase the yield. Kansas Early
Ohios are quoted at $2.50@2.60 per
100 pounds, sacked, in the Chicago
carlot market. Southern Bliss Tri-
umphs, U. S. No. 1, are held at $2.50@
2.75 per 100 pounds.

BEANS

The bean market has weakened,
with C. H. P. whites quoted at $4.25@
4.30 per 100 pounds, sacked, f. o. b.
Michigan shipping points. Elevators
have been reducing stocks prior to in-
ventory, so that market supplies have
been large. The new crop is making
favorable progress, but new beans will

west is said to be well cleaned up..

with the exception of Montana and
New Mexico. The ruling price in
Montana has been 36 to 37 cents, with
an occasional sale slightly higher,
while Ohio growers are being paid 37
to 40 cents. Foreign markets are firm
under continental buying. The domes-
tice goods market is improving slow-
ly, and consumption of wool by mills
is believed to have increased in recent
weeks. The American Woolen Com-
pany is offering light weight goods for
spring and summer, 1927, at 7 :to 15
per cent lower than a year ago, and
15 to 20 per cent lower than two

years will be the basis for consider-
ably higher prices. Ultimately, the
pendulum will start swinging the oth-
er way. In order to build up herds, it
will be necessary to sell fewer cattle

duced. ,This will reduce the market

still higher. Finally, five to eight

Skin Disease.—-—I have a brood sow
who took sick five weeks after she
had little pigs. For one week she
«could not eat anything. After that her,

but her body broke out with sores.‘
They are worse around her neck and
shoulders. This happened in July, and
some of the sores are not yet entirely
healed. Was this only .8. skin disease
or something worse? Should we send
‘a piece of her meat to be analyzed
..before using it? R. O.——The skin les-
ions may have been the result of a
lfeve-red condition of the system at
the time of her sickness. If her gen-
eral health is good, and in good flesh,
there should not be anything there

 

However, if you intend slaughtering
her, it would be advisable to have her
carcass inspected by a veterinarian at

ious organs and glands could be ex-

value, than having a piece of her meat
r examined.

old heifer that has been bred regularly-
slnce last July with no results. Can
you tell me what to do to get her with
calf?—W. J. H.———This is usually due
to a diseased condition of the uterus
or ovaries. Occasionally, an acid con~
ditiou of the vaginal mucous may be
the cause, by its destroying male germ
cells. You might try giving a table-
,spoonful of baking soda in feed twice
daily. Twenty minutes before breed-
ing. .flush the vagina with a warm so-
lution of baking soda, one tablespoon-
ful to one qhart of water. If this
proves unsuccessful, it would be ad
visable to have an examination made
1 by your veterinarian, so that he could
treat the conditions as he finds they
'reguire.

Stiffness in Mule—I have a: mule
which eats and drinks well. I feed
him cornstalks and give him a few
ears of corn to a feeding. Recently I
drove him to town and on the way
home he began to get stiff. What is
the cause of this stiffness, and how
can I cure it?—H. R.——You do not
mention anything as to the nature of
the stiffness. It may be due to sev-
eral things. 'A long drive when out
of condition may cause it. You may
have let it stand in the cold wind be-
fore starting home, and produced a
form of rheumatic stiffness in the
muscles; or it may be a plain case of
founder. Thus it is difl‘lcult to pre-
scribe intelligently. If it appears to
be a general stiffness, cover with
warm blankets. Give one pound of
epsom salts in a quart of warm water.
Also give one-half ounce each of sodi-
um salicylate and salt petre in a little
water three times daily. If he appears
to be foundered in the feet, apply cold
wet swabs to the feet in addition to
the above.

Rheumatism-”+1 have two pigs five
months old which for the last month
have not been able to walk. Their
legs seem to be stiff and they just lie
and squeal. They are new on a ground
'floor in a fastened barn where it is
warm. They are fed milk three times
a darn—all they will eat. .0. H. 3,——
A great many of these conditions are.
considered as a “defiCiency disease”—
their diet being deficient in certain
mineral elements that their systems
require. Cold and dampness is also a
contributing cause, as is also a lack
of sunshine. Add middlings, bran, and
a little oil meal and tankage to the
milk. Also keep finely ground lime
stone where they can have access to
it._ Give them one ounce of cod liver
