v Put Teeth in the Game Law

ICHIGAN farmers believe in rigid

game protection; they are both toler-

ant and friendly toward true .sports-
men but they are unanimous in voicmg the
nee of better protection for property own—
ers against the depredations of ruthless
hunters. - .

The many letters received from our read—
ers following the publication of “No Man’s
Land,” established these facts beyond any
question of doubt. Theoretically our law
now,,gives them this protection. Actually it
'does not, because of inadequate machinery
for its enforcement.

Is there a practical solution of this prob—
lem? If so what is it? What have other
states done along this line? Have any of
them found a solution of the problem?
Would the ap lication of such a solution in
our case invo ‘ve sweeping changes in our
game laws, With consequent confusion?

“ These are fair questions to which we must
find a fair answer if we are to make prog-
ress along right lines. Fortunately, there is
one answer near at hand, as isgeneraITy the
case if we look fairly for it. Here is the
solution which a nearby state has applied
to this problem:

The Illinois law is :very similar to the
Michigan law in this matter of game protec-
tion and control. A state department of
conservation is charged with its administra-
tion, as here, but the machinery for its en~
forcement is much more complete and work-
able, resulting in real protection to both
game and land owners. ‘

. Hunting on posted land without permis-
51.01? of the owner or person in charge is pro-
hibited as here. "The land owner is given
the ad .e’d privilege of serving legal notice
of prohibition in his localvpaper. But there
is a Vital difference in the method 'of en—

forcement and in the consequent results
. secured.

~ ‘The Illinois law gives justices of the

peace jurisdiction in the enforcement of its
provisions. It gives them authority to im-
pose jail sentences as well as fines, within
limits set in the law. It makes township
constables police officers for the enforce-
ment of the game law, and charges them,
as well as deputy sheriffs and other police

‘ officers, with the definite duty of gathering

evidence and aiding 1n.the prosecution of
offenders upon the entering of complaint by
any Citizen. '

If teeth like that were put into the Michi-
gan law, it would better serve its purpose
of protecting the game, and at the same
time give a desirable degree of protection
,to farmer land owners, just as it has done in
Illinois. This would be a long step in the
right direction. It would give farmers a
fair degree of the protection they need and
should be welcomed, rather than opposed,
by true sportsmen, who are interested in
real game protection.

How would this help? It would put a
court of competent jurisdiction and a corps
of police officers within easy reach of every
farmer. Instead of less than one hundred
places where complaint can now be made to
secure the doubtful action of a busy prose-
cutor and a crowded court, there would be
several thousands such places. There would
be also a sizable army of police officers scat-
tered throughout the state, everywhere

available for quick service, as compared

with apresent handful, for the most part

otherw1se offic1ally engaged and not specifi-

galtly changed With this particular police
11 y.

United farmer support should quickly se-
cure the addition of these'enforcement fea-
tures to our present game law. If you favor
this plan, which‘has been’working satisfac-
torily 1n Illin01s for a number of years, drop
a note to the Michigan Farmer saying so.
Then talk it over with your neighbors and
frlends, and don’t forget to talk about it to

candidates for the state legislature from

your district.

Public Buys 18 Million _ Dollars’ Worth of
New Lower—Priced Lighter Six, Chrysler “60”

in First Sixty Days

In the first sixty days following its
introduction an enthusiastic motor-
ing public has paid more than
eighteen millions of dollars for the
newest Chrysler, the new lighter
six, Chrysler “60”.

Unfilled orders for many millions
more are being rapidly met by vastly
expanded production facilities.

This overwhelming success was
inevitable for never before in the
lower—priced six‘cylinder field has
the public been offered such compel-
ling value as the new Chrysler “60”.

In no other car approximating
these low prices can you match the
combination of these noteworthy
features—

Sixty miles, and more, per hour;
unprecedented acceleration; ex-
traordinary gas economy, easily

exceeding 22 miles to the gallon;

the striking beauty of Chrysler
dynamic symmetry-—

Astonishing riding ease and road—

cation; 7—bearing crankshaft; imp
pulse neutralizers; road levelizers
front and rear; roomy and luxur-
ious bodies.

a

Unit for unit, in the new lighter
six, Chrysler “60” you have the
same standardized quality which
has given such dominance to the
famous Chrysler “70” and to the
superfine Chrysler Imperial “80"
in their respectiVe price groups—in
engineering design, in materials, in
craftsmanship, in rigidity of test and
inspection, and in all characteristics
of dependability and long life.

Your nearest Chrysler dealer is eager
to demonstrate these superiorities.

See the new lighter six, Chrysler
“60”. Drive it. Convince yourself
that nowhere will you find another
six approximating it in price that
can compare with this newest
Chrysler achievement.

CHRYSLER “60”-—Touting Car, $1075; Roadster, $1 145;
Club Coupe, $1165; Coach, $1195; Sedan, $1295.

I By V. 0. Brown

SINGING farmer is not a cuss-

ing farmer, and we want more

singing farmers. These words
were expressed by Professor R. S.
Linton of Michigan State College
when he presented» the R. E. Olds
Trophy Cup to the Winning state sing-
ing agricultural team from Owosso
High School. .

These smiling boys do not look like
they would make cussing farmers.
They make you think of the old fami-
liar lines you used to sing in the little
red school house, "Whistle and hoe,
'sing as you go, shorten the rows by
the songs you know.” At least these
were the lines‘ I was reminded of
When I heard these boys sing. »

Nearly every farmer and farmer’s
wife can recall such memories. Those
good old days when we used to-have
the time of our lives behind the good
old fashioned geography books. When
we used to wish for hot weather so
that we could take our» turn passing
the water pail, and where our recita-
~tion periods were of necessity only
five or ten minutes.

15 remember in those days I was
thought to be a very good singer in
the rural school. The boy or girl who

could \make the loudest noise was con— _

sidered the best singer. I was con-
sidered quite efficient at the art be-
cause I had plenty of practice. I de-
Veloped my lungs by calling the cows
from: the pasture one and one half
miles from the house. This was much
easier than going after them through
the thistles and nettles. From behind
the old barn, I could call all the kids
in the neighborhood. Yes I was a
very good singer in those days, in the
good oldcountry school, and before
tunes came into fashion.

I am citing these instances merely
for comparison. These memories were
brought to my mind when I heardthis
group of young men sing before an
audience of more than 1000 people at
a banquet in the gymnasium at the
Michigan State College. Here was a
group of young men, agricultural stud-
ents, trained in the art of singing.
There time was perfect, the four parts
blended together in a pleasing har-
mony, and their chorus of trained
voices responded to the music as one.
To be sure they had a music teacher,

Miss Margaret Jones is a graduate
from the music department of Olivet
Collegemand a very capable singing
teacher and director.

These young agricultural boys
could sing; there was no doubt about
that, and they walked away with the
silver loving cup to their credit.
They come from the Smith Hughes
High School of Owoss‘o where a four
year course in agriculture is taught.
Superintendent E. J. William and
Principal C. A. Cournyer are strong
supporters of such a" course in high

.. The Young Men, Their Teacher, Instructor, and Accompanist Who Sung

Themselves to Victory, Winning the Beautiful Cup in the Foreground

school, and the farmers around" the
fertile valleys of Shiawassee county
are theroughly in sympathy with\ the
course.

The point I wish to bring out is
this, that these young farmers are
trained, trained, in scientific agricul-
ture, trained in singing, trained in
other sciences and vocations so that
they will make better farmers in the
future. As Professor LintOn states.
“They will be singing farmers instead
of cussing farmers.” They will make
better citizens to carry on this great
industry of future agriculture. When
we look about this native state of ours
and see the number of schools where
Smith Hughes Agricultural and
home economics courses are being
taught to our young boys and girls, it
gives the country folks a feeling of
joy and satisfaction for they know
that their boys and girls are receiv-
ing the same efficient training the city
boys and girls are receiving.

In some sections in the rural dis-
tricts of Michigan are found new, up-
to—date consolidated or centralized
schools. The children are transported
in power driven busses, and trained
instructors are hired for the teaching
work. Agriculture, home economics,
physical training, music, art, English
and a host of other sciences are
taught. This is indeed an inspiration
and a boost for our country people.

Then we have the other extreme,
thousands of communities with the
poorly lighted and poorly-ventilated
one room school house, with its under-
paid teacher, its lack of equipment for
good teaching and proper training for
life work and good citizenship. In
such communities, the child is not

The Hay Market Situation

W 2/2 Sperm! Referehce to 222 Rapzd/y I222r6225222g Alfalfa Crop
By Gilbert Gusler

N alfalfa hay crop of about the

same size as in 1925, with pros-

pects of a much better demand
than in the past year is indicated by
the early forecasts of hay yields and
reports on the condition of pastures
throughout the United States.

Last year, the alfalfa hay- crop of
29 million tons was one~third of the
total tame hay production, although
it occupied Only 20 per cent of the
acreage. Mixed clover and timothy
with 21 million tons was next in im-
portance, while production of clover
and timothy separately reached 11 and
10 million tons, respectively. Besides
these, 3 million tons of annual legume
hays were produced and hay made
from grains cut green reached 5 mil-
lion tons. Millet, sudan and other
miscellaneous hays were produced to
the extent of 8 milIion tons

The acreagein alfalfa has increased
7. each year as far back as it has been
reported as a separate crop. No esti-

f 's fares has. been

 

 

  

past six years. Small decreases re-
ported in some of the Great Plains
and mountain states have probably
been more than offset by increases in
the North Central states.

The condition of alfalfa on July 1,
however, was four per cent lower than
last year,—enough to counterbalance
,any gain in acreage. Dry weather re-
duced the first cuttings in some of the
North Central and Atlantic Coast

states, while the crop is much better,

than last year in Oklahoma and Texas,
and in some of the irrigated states.

Production of all tame hay was fore-
cast on "July 1 at only 77,800,000 tons,
the smallest since 1919, with one ex-
ception, and 14 per cent less than the
five-year average. Besides the light
crop, fife carryover of old hay this
year probably was the smallest in sev-
eral years and tivo or three million
tons below the five-year. average. This

was due to the small crop produced

in 1925 and to the fact that it was

 

because of unseasonably cold weather
and marked delay in the growth of
pastures. -

Poor pastures still have some bear-l
ing on the hay situation. On July 1,
they were reported in the worst shape
since 1911 with the exception of last
year. Unless they improve, summer
and fall feeding of hay will be more
extensive than usual.

The decreases in production of
other kinds of hay and the reduction
in the amount of hay furnished by
pastures undthibtedly will be reflected
in a stronger market for alfalfa which
is practically a full crop. The dairy
sections of the New England and
North Atlantic states, the eastern
two-thirds of the cotton belt and the
North Central states where dairy and
cattle feeding are prominent, all re-

. port poor hay and pasture conditions.

Dairyme'n are the chief buyers of al-

‘falfa, but cattle and lamb feeders and
'cotfon planters also are purchasers
_ even in years of norms} hay crops. ‘

asides the prospective sources of

demand just enumerated, the demand
for alfalfa mixed feeds is likely to be
better than usual under such condi-
tions as exist this year, increasing the
takings of alfalfa by mills for conver-
sion into meal. Furthermore, the local
surpluses of alfalfa in some of the
northern states, such as Michigan and
New York, which have been a factor
in the alfalfa hay market in the past‘
two or three year,s may be practically
eliminated this year.

Prices of alfalfa as well as other
hays follow fairly well defined sear
sonal trends. The late spring prac-
tically exhausted supplies of old hay
so that prices of alfalfa on distribut-
ing markets at the end of May were
the highest for several years. Later
on, the pressure of new crop offerings
forced prices downward, but they re- -
main higher than at this time last
year. The market may remain rela- .
tively low during the next month or
two until receipts decrease and the
pasture season passes. Then, some
rise is to be expected, as the strength
of the total supply and demand situa-
tion\becomes increasingly effective '
the market ‘

OME time ago, a

 

 

Who sportsman worthy

. of the name told us
W!" be about a drive he had
“Game?” recently taken

through northern Illi-
nois. It was with no little surprise
that we heard him state that he saw
more wild game within a. hundred
miles of Chicago than he had ever
seen in the same length of time in
driving through any section of Michi-
gan.

He attributed this fact to more ef-
ficient game protection, although he
heard a good deal from other sports-

' men about the good hunting they had
had in that section. His impression
from these conversations was that the
Illinois law gave the land owner con-
trol over hunting on his premises, and
emphatically expressed the idea that
this principle was essential to true
game conservation. .

This sounded good from a man of
his character, so we made a study of
the provisions of the Illinois game
law. We were surprisied to find it
very similar to the Michigan law so
far as its restriction features are con-
cerned. But there is a great differ-
ence in the scheme of its enforce-
ment and the machinery provided for
the purpose.

'7 This difference is outlined on the first
page of this issue. It is a. difference
as &marked as the difference between
day and night so far as the practical

genforcement of provisions common to
both the Illinois and Michigan laws
are concerned.

_ jThat such provisions have not re-

malted only in a desirable degree of

protection from ruthless hunters
which our law purports to give them.
They should also appeal to every ad-
vocate of game conservation, among
whom every true sportsman is num-
bered.

But there is a class of hunters, who .

are not sportsmen, to whom these pro—
visions may not be expected to ap-
peal. This is the class that causes all
the trouble and friction and who merit
the additional restraint which these
provisions would give. They will not
be “game” in a line-up on this propo-
sition. But it is time for a line-up.
Let us find out “Who will be game.”

HE men at the

Borers tion at Monroe have
Multiply just informed us over

the phone that there
is no lack of corn borers in Michigan
this year. The plots planted on the
experimental farm for the purpose of
studying the life and habits of the in—
sect are thoroughly infested, making
it possible to supply the scientists
with an abundance of material.

This, also, seems to be the situation
on the farms in Monroe County. The
insect is simply flourishing in its new
habitat. A few farms last year
showed infestations of twenty-five per
cent; but to date, several have re—
ported this year at least a fifty per-
cent infestation. It is probable that
we shall not need to go into Canadian
territory this fall to learn how thor-
oughly this insect can destroy a. corn
crop.

The readers of the Michigan Farmer
should become thoroughly familiar
with this European corn borer. It is
to be hoped that during the present
season a number of tours will be made
from the various counties of the state
to the experiment station at Monroe
in order to View first hand the pest
and his work. That is the best way
to learn practical facts about him.
September and October will be the
months best suited for such excur-
sions, as then the damage will show
to best advantage.

Are We statement from
o l ‘ I . "
.Mahmg an o d frlend of Mich
7 igan agriculture in
Progress. which he questions

whether or not we

have made much actual progress in
our program of farming. In spite of
the fact that we have been doing
much talking about better methods of
cultivation, seed selection, and farm-
ing in general, are we, says he, really
making progress in crop production.
The question was suggested to his
mind by a survey of statistics gath-
ered by the state department of agri-

‘ culture on crop production in the state

since 1870.' He discovered that winter
wheat yields for the ten years from
1870 to 1880 averaged 15 bushels per
acre while for the ten years preceed-
ing 1925 the average yield advanced
to 17.2 bushels. But for corn the
respective averages were 33.4 and
33.2 bushels. Oats only increased a
fraction from 31.9 bushels to 32.2
bushels. Rye declined from 14.4 to
13.7 bushels. Barley stepped up from
22.8 to 24.3 bushels. Buckwheat stif-
fered a heavy decreasegfrom 16.1 to 13
bushels. Beans made a. very \slight
average increase over the ten years
ending in 1914. Potatoes made a de-

cided gain, averaging for the first.

period 86 bushels and for the second
96 bushels. Tame hay gained but a.
fraction from- 1.21 tons’ per acre to
1.29 tons, Sugar beets remain at
nine tons per acre, the same as for
the ten years'ending in 1909.

These figures are a. bit discouraging.
They tend to bring us down to the
ground ». and cause us ‘to ponder over
our agricultural program. IS it possi-

4’ .
.1;.,¢. '. . a“.

all this trouble, _ ,1 7 g .
merely to hold our own? , : ,.

Possibly, however, there is an ex-
planation for these ”figures that should.
to some 'extent, hearten us. During
,the‘first period and in the years up to
the twentieth century, much of the
area. in the state devoted to crops was
virgin land. It had latent .fertility,
the accumulation of centuries, and
upon this the first crops fed liberally
for high production: For the second
period, however, this virgin plant food
‘was well used up and our farmers
generally have not learned the lesson
of how to maintain a permanent agri-
cultur.e, with the result that the ad-
vantages gained by improved seeds
and better methods 'of- cultivation
were wholly or partly overcome by a.
lack of soil fertility.

It has been our privilege the past
two months to visit a large number
of farms in the interest of the Michi-
gan Master Farmers’ Club. On these
farms where modern methods are be.
ing employed, the yields are about
double the average yields of the state.
Because a few farmers, and several of
them under adverse conditions, are
using methods that bring high yields
it would seem to be good argument
that similar methods would, if prop-
erly carried out, bring better yields
on the majority of our farms.

In the last analysis this problem
seems to be a. personal matter. To
increase our yields beyond what they“
were fifty years ago will require a
higher degree of agricultural knowl-
edge and skill than was needed on the
virgin soil which our grandfathers
tilled. The first big problem of Michi-
gan farmers is to gain information and
a desire to increase and maintain soil

culture.

HESE pages have

Good been used rather
C W.” freely for the fur-
ows ‘ therance \of cow test-
DO it ing work. It seemed

to the editors that
this particular type of extension effort
was very’promising, for it dealt with
a fundamental factor in the dairy
business.

In the first place, high producing
cows are more profitable than low
producers. They show efficiency in
converting feed into milk and butter-
fat.. Less of the food elements go for
maintaining the cows and more go into
the milk pail. All the statistics yet
gathered prove that high producing
icows are the big profit makers.

Then the good cows, which give the
owner a. larger net income, make it
possible for the dairyman, or the
farmer, to provide suitable dairy
equipment. This, in turn, further aids
the animals to produce more efficient-

ly and the ownér to care for the cows ‘

with less labor and cost.

In a general way this evolution is
going on in Michigan. As soon as the
cow tester comes the inferior cows
begin to leave, and their places are
filled with promising heifers or supe-
rior animals brought from other herds.
Then the farmer may adjust his crop
program to make high milk producing
rations. He fixes up his barn adding
equipment that gives comfort and a
high degree ofvsanitation. In other
words, cows, feed, care and environ-
ment, all contribute fully to dairy
efficiency in herds where cow testing
is being seriously carried on.

rtyjelg‘ht. , But at the .
number of persons on
farms in the country had not dimin-
ished. The Census 'figures say the

   

number actually increased over three " 4

million souls. ‘

Then again the, number of places
with a population exceeding 2,500 and
less than 5,000 population increased
from 893 in 1900 to 1,320 in 1920. Now
all incorporated places with less than
2,500 population are counted by the
census men as rural population. It is
safe to‘say that in the 1900 census the
majority of these towns were counted
with the rural population, while in the
last enumeration they were classed
with the urban population. Thus thou-
sands of people who néver changed
their residenCe at all were added to
the urban class. I

Again there is the immigrant. In:
this period about fourteen million of
them came 'to this country. Not less
than eighty per cent of these moved
directly to the city; thus aiding again
in boosting the city population figures,
without taking people from country
places.

The point is that the migration from
the farm to the shop has, to some de-
gree, been over emphasized. And this
taken with the more efficient farm
methods now in vogue, shows the
transition to be a rather more healthy
one than is often imagined. ' V

Using Iron Roofing

Some Precautiom Necerrary

By I. W. Dickerson "

0 many of our readers have in-
S quired for information on corru-

gated roofing and siding, that per-
haps a few suggestiOns may be help-
ful to farm folks. This material, be-
cause of its cheapness, long service,
quick laying, and lightning protection,
is becoming quite popular for a good
many purposes. ’

Condensation of Moistu re. ‘

'One of the objections frequently
met with corrugated or other metal
1roofing,_ is the rapid condensation of
moisture often met with when it is
used to cover a dairy or horse barn,
,or other animal enclosure. Due to the
lmoisture exhaled from the animals’
lungs and skin, the rather warm air
becomes heavily laden with water
vapor, and in winter when this warm,
moist air strikes the cold metal roof-
ing this moisture is condensed beyond
,the saturation or dew point, and the
{moisture gathers on the under side of
the roof in large drops. This not only
,has a tendency to corrode and rust
out the roofing, but makes the interior
drippy and disagreeable.

One method of presenting this trou-
ible On which we are all pretty well
.agreed, is to provide as good ventila-
tion as possible. While there is still
considerable diderence,of opinion as
to the best method of securing this

ventilation, there is no question but.

what we shouldprovide as good vefiti-
lation and change the air just as often
, as possible,- andqstfll not

borhood was battling with a fire that
threatened to destroy his house, barn
and all. It was only the most heroic.
efforts that saved the homestead. You-lr
can’t be too careful in dry weather.
Another ' more serious danger is
cleaning garments in the hot sun with
high test gasoline. Once for all, clean-
ing in gasoline is dangerous, but if
you must and will do it, take a cool,
cloudy, windy‘day, and do not run the
risk Of catching fire and dying a hor-
rible death besides burning down your
family home. The friction‘caused by
two buttons made a spark that burned
a woman terribly. A man walking past

ers recently cleaned, was burned so
badly that he died. The house was

The season of glowing camp fires
will soon be with us, and no one would
deprive the young people of.the de-
lights of roasting things in the coals,
but the fun will not be lessened if -
they are urged to make sure every
coal is dead before leaving. It is not
enough to bank the coals and hasten
away. Somebody’s home may be in
ruins before morning, and somebody’s
life lost by a live coal innocently lurk-
ing in the heap, to be tossed about by
a breeze. Better be safe than sorry.
Summer fires may not be as terrible
to contemplate as fires when a bliz-
zard is raging, but they bring need-
less. loss and suffering, and should be
regarded as unnecessary at all seasons
because of common sense protection
against them.

tongued and grooved boards not wider
than six inches, and then use a layer
of roofing felt, or in some cases, heavy
resin paper, well lapped on top of the
roofing boards. The roofing felt costs
very little and _is well worth while,
both for preventing condensation, and
as an additional insulation. The more
common use of tar or asphalt paper
‘under metal roofing is not favored by
metal roofing manufacturers because

gredients in these materials having an
injurious effect on the metal.

In granaries and other buildings not
housing animals, and hence not hav-
ing excessive humidity underneath,
the use of tight sheathing and the
protecting felt is not considered so
essential, it being very common to
leave six—inch cracks between the six-
inch sheathing boards, and with the
extra heavy gauges to nail directly on
therafters, or on strips placed two
feet apart. The only serious objection
to'this is the effect of the wind whip-

ping under the roof when doors or .

Windows are left open. After the
sheets have bent back and forth a few
million times through gusts of wind,
there is a tendency for the roofing to
crack, and later open lip. So that
even in these cases, it is probable that
the tight sheathing is'to be preferred.

HIS summer’s tour of the Michi-
gan State Horticultural Society
was one of practical, scenic and

consumptive interest. The apple .

growers from twenty-eight counties in

the state and various other horticul-
turally interested persons from eight
other states made up a caravan of
nearly one hundred cars which took
in the high spots, as well as the lower
ones, in that part of the state between

Manistee and Traverse City, the first

day, and the Old Mission peninsula

the second, otherwise July 23 and 24.

The first stop was at the orchard of

the Man'istee Orchard Co. Four hun-

dred acres of this orchard were

cleared in 1909—1911. In 1911-1913

, most of the trees were planted. They

consist of 375 acres of apples, peaches,
pears ,and cherries. These trees did

original company got in financial
straits andhad to quit. The orchard
had little done to it during six_of the
war years except to keep the scale in
check. Later a new company was or—
ganizedvof which Thomas Graham and
Oscar Braman, of Grand Rapids, are
prominent members. They have given
the orchard good care and last year
broke even in their financial state-
ment. One block of 178 acres of ap-
ples are just coming into bearing and
the outlook for the company is good.

The Spy is a favorit'e variety of Mr.
Graham’s and he thinks it a good in-
vestment to plant despite the long
time before coming into bearing. A
dormant spray and one in the pink
were made and the fruit was in fine
condition.

Organization Sells Raspberries.

The next stop was made at the rasp‘
berry patch of William Donies in the
Onekama region. Mr. Denies is a
member of the Onekama Farm Bureau
which has made such a success with
shipping raspberries. Last year fif-
teen car loads of seven hundred crates
to the car were shipped by this asso-
ciation at a net price of $2.74 to the
grower. .

The Cuthbut red raspberry is the
variety grown by the members who
have about 1500 acres of that variety.
The chief competition is from the
state of Washington and the Bayview
region in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin
growers raise the Marlboro which is
not as good a market berry. The Wis-
consin and Onekama growers also
have arrangements whereby their ber—
ries are handled y the same selling
agencies and therefore do not com-
pete on the market.

The Onekama berries are put up in
the western ventilated twenty—four
pint cases which keep the top row of
berries from crushing the bottom ones.
They are larger than the standard
Michigan case, but do not hold any
more. However, they make a more
favorable appearance.

The Onekama berries are put in
iced cars which are iced forty-eight
hours before loading. A car iced
leaves Onekama in the morning and
gets into Chicago for the next morn-
ing’s market. Milwaukee is also a
good market.

The raspberry growers have their
fruit picked. into the pint boxes. Each
crate is stamped with the growers
number and it is inspected at the
packing house. Inspectors are also in

pack. »

The growers sign a contract each
year for their crop and at the end of
every year a grower can drop out if
he wishes.’ ‘ ‘ '

Feeds Cattle To Keep Orchards
. Fertile. _

,The next stop was made at‘Arlie
Hopkin’s orchard at Bear Lake. Mr.
Hopkins has 125 acres of orchard and

 

 

he has his true so plannedwmre

the field showing the growers how to

A Story of W/zat ’T/zey Saw 2'72 ‘t/ze Traverse Region ' ~

is almost constant picking from cherry
time until fall. He farms 500 acres,
much of which is in crops for feeding
cattle in the winter. These several
car loads of cattle furnish manure
enoughso that the orchards are given
a covering of manure every two years.
Mr. Hopkins does not use commercial
fertilizers, but with manure and cover
crops keeps his orchards in good
shape. -

One block of twenty-seven acres
consisting of Jonathan, Grimes, N. W.
Greening, and Wolf River have been
bearing ten years although it is only
sixteen years old. The trees are so
pruned that they can be picked from
a ’nine foot ladder. / The tops are
clipped back each year but none of
the fruit spires in the tree are cut, so
much of the fruit is borne close to the

nicely until the war time when the v. limbs.

Eight men and five teams handle all
the work on this 500 acre farm, except‘
occasionally at harvest time. The
usually lime sulphur and arsenate of
lead sprays are used. Contrary to the
opinion of many, Mr. Hopkins finds
the Wolf River a good variety.

Mr. Hopkins sells his fruit at the
"orchard. The same buyer handles his
cherries as well as his apples. Each
year a price is agreed upon for firsts,
seconds, and culls. Then a disinterested
packer puts them up, thus assuring
fair grading for both parties.
Michigan’s Largest Cherry Orchard.

On the hills of the north shore of
Crystal Lake near Beulah are the

~94

 

\ ,

Thrushwdod Orchards which arel
owned by A. . Rogers, ear-president of ‘e
the Michigan Horticultural Society. 3
Here is one of the largest blocks. of
sweet cherries in the state. Apples,
peaches, pears, and sour cherries are

, also grown.

In 1911 when Mr. Rogers acquired {

his farm, there were three acres of

Morello cherries which were one rod 1
apart. The success .with this block
has made Mr. Rogers an adVOcate of
close planting. This spring he set
2,000 more trees without using any
more aoreage. , . '

Mr. Rogers has kept very close ac-
count of the costs of growing an or-
chard. He has such good records that
the Michigan State College has had
him write a bulletin on cherry grow—‘
ing cost which Professor Gardner be—
lieves will be one of the best accounts
of orchard cost ever written. It will
be in print in a few months. "

Near Mr. Roger’s farm is the Crys-
tal Lake Orchard, owned by some city
people, but managed by Mr. Rogers.
This orchard has twenty-five acres of
sweet cherries and one hundred acres
of apples. Mr. Kimbal, one of the
owners, has a very fine garden of pe‘
rennial flowers which was much ads
mired by thertourists. '

On the J. L. Kraker farm, next to‘
Thrushwood Orchard, the susceptibil-
ity to frosts was lessened by clearing
away a strip of woods below the or‘
chard, thus affording better air drain<
age. (Concluded next week)

Summer Poultry Notes
By R. G. Kirby

EASELS like to hide in tall
V» grass and pick off young chicks
and suck their blood. Chicks
found dead in tall grass with bloody
marks on the neck are nearly always
weasel victims. One remedy is to
moyv tall grass on the chick range to
prevent weasel losses during the day
and keep the colony houses closed
after sundown to protect the flocks
during the night. ~
Some poultrymen who try hopper

feeding both the scratch grain and
the mash'for the young stock find that
it promotes rapid growth and does not
take any more feed. It also prevents
grain being thrown on the ground in
the dirt and insures every chick hav-
ing feed when it is hungry. Of course
conditions vary on different farms and
a few chicks raised on a grain farm
do not need hopper feeding as much
as a large flock raised on the limited

GAS ENGINES AND WINDMILLS-
CHEAPEST POWER.

 

CCORDING to a survey made by

the Division of Agricultural En-
gineering at Washington, the windmill
furnishes a horsepower hour of work
for approximately half a cent, the
small stationary engine for two-fifths
of a cent, the large stationary engines
for four-fifths of a cent, kerosene
tractors about three-fifths of a cent
for belt work and 1% cents dor draw-
bar work, motor trucks about two
cents, while individual electric plants
and animal power are the most ex-
pensive at 2% cents ‘each per horse-

vey, tractOrs can do belt work at one-
fourth the cost and drawbar power at
three-fifths the cost of doing the same
work by using animal power.

These figures apply for average
conditions as now obtaining over the
country, but with some of these pow—
ers material
made by a careful study of the prob-
lem and of the best methods of apply-
ing the power t0\ the work and of
adapting the work to the power. In
grinding feed, for example, prelimin-
ary investigations indicate that the
«cost can be very much reduced by us-
ing central station electric power in
small units and with strictly auto-
matic power and feed control, doing
the work at night when lower rates
can be obtained, since the human
labor is still a very large part in
most power operations. In the same
way, many possibilities are in sight
for cheapening tractor costs by doing
several operations at one time and by
using larger cultivators, drills, and so
on; while costs of animal power can
in some cases be cut by using larger
teams.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR
SILO. "

 

Have just finished putting up a hol-
low tile silo. Bought lightning rods
for it and the men came and put a
lightning rod on it with just one
ground wire. Then another firm’s
man came along and told me that
two grounds were necessary and that
the lightning would strike with just
one ground. What is the correct
method of installing lightning rods for
such a silo?-——R. M.

’Where a silo of this kind stands
more than 10 feet from a building, it
must be rodded separately. If the silo
has a peaked or conical roof, a single
point over the center of roof is suffi-
cient, two down conductors running
from this to grounds on opposite sides
If the silo is cf open top,
it is usual to place from two to four
points around the top, these all con-
nected to a standard cable running
entirely around the silo about three
feet below the top, with two down
conductors 'and two grounds on oppo-
site sides of .the silo. So that the
second man was right and your silo
at present is not rodded according to
the Underwriters Rules—Dickerson. '

S}:
FARMERS TO IDENTIFY SEEDS.

 

 

 

REPARATIONS are making for the

farmers’ round-up at the farm of
the Michigan State College Experi
ment Station to be held at Chatham,
Alger County, August 14. One feature
of the event will be a seed identifica-
tion contest. The contest will in-
volve indentificatlon of common crop
and weed seeds. The winner of first
place in this -- contest will receive a.
fanning-mill worth some fifty dollars.
It is expected farmers will learn a
good deal about seeds from this con.
test. .

LEAD IN CLUB WORK.

 

PPER Peninsula young folks

were winners in winter club
work the past season. State cham-
pionships were won by Rose Lesnieski
of Harris in fifth-year garment work
while Leslie Kranz of Wallace won
the state championship in third-year
handicraft work. There were also
several U. P. club members who took
second place in the state.

PROVIDE MODERN BARN

NDICATIVE of the advanced state

the report that several new’ dairy
barns erected, or in the process of
erection, there this summer will have
such modern equipment as a built-in
silo as a protection against frost, con-
crete stalls, gutters, walks, mangers,
steel stancheons, drinking-cups, steel
calf and bull-pens, etc. Care is being
taken to provide good lighting and
ventilation. Another farmer is erect-
ing, under M. S. C. direction, a model
poultry house. Modern equipment of
all sorts will be installed. Several
other Gogebic farmers, it is announced,
will follow suit.

petic.

It the child from one of these dis-
tricts wishes to go to high school af
ter Completing the eighth grade in the
rural school, he ’may do so by going
to the nearest city. Here of course
the child receives better training, and
as a great many of our high schools
in the cities have the Smith Hughes’
,courses it gives our country youth a
chance to train for their life wor_k. If
,they wish to make the farm their
home they may take home economics
or agriculture. These courses, how-
ever, as well as the other high school
courses, are usually iaught in a more
satisfactory-manner to all concerned,
for the country youth, in the rural
centralized school. These schools are
nearer home, they form .part of the
'life of the community, and they give
the grade children the kind of train-
ing which is on a par with the city
grade school.

An appeal for the centralized rural
Smith Hughes’ school and an appeal
for the Smith Hughes’ courses in high

schools is the appeal I Wish to make \

to the rural people. The reason is
simple. The farmer of the future, if
agriculture is to prosper, must be a
trained man. He must be trained in
the same manner as other vocational
.and professional men are trained.
This is an age ‘of science, skill and
competition, and the agricultural in-
dustry is no exception to this rule.
The agricultural industry is the oldest
and largestindustry in this country
. to-day. Here is a real challenge.
There are in the United States to-day
6,500,000 farms. Taken as a group,
all of these primitive industrial units,
which comprise the greatest of our
national enterprizes, engage the serv-
ices of 22,000,000 men and women and
approximately 20,000,000 children.
_The total value of farms and farm
property in the United States is about
. $60,000,000,000 which is said to be
more than the invested capital of all
. industries, railroads,-banks, and mines
:~combined. The investments of build-
ings on .these farms are $11,000,000,000
_and- the total annual income in round
numbers amounts to $11,000,000,000
also._

Truly this is an industry of great
magnitude which must have its prob-
lems solved, its difficulties taken care
of, and its people‘ trained, educated
and made good American citizens? I
know of no other method to accom-
plish _all these ends other than by in-

‘ stalling a system of training and edu-

i cation in our public schools.

‘7 It can be seen that the future farm-.

l er must be a trained farmer. Perhaps
,he need not be a trained singer, al-
though I believe it would be an aid to

in live stock judging, grain judging,

. ,soil, fertility, co-o’perative marketing, ,

community welfare and, in many other
subjects. The Smith Hughes’ courses
in the centralized rhral schooTs and in
the high schools, are teaching these
'very things, and are bringing agricul-
vture from the level of a laborer to
the business man.

TAKE A TRIP TODAY, any day, to Paramount’s ‘
Land of Make Believe and Entertain-

ment, land of drama, life and laughter, land
where everything comes true for a couple
of hours at least.

Before the day of better photoplays lots of
people were all dressed up in their spare
time and had no place to go.

Paramount has changed all that, because
there’s .a Paramount Picture ready for you
today at the nearest good theatre, or would
be on your request. -

There you enjoy great entertainment sup-
plied by the foremost stars, directors and
dramatists that Paramount’s great resources
and audience can attract.

You thrill to such Paramount Pictures as
Gloria Swanson in the Untamed Lady,
Adolphe Menjou in the King on .Main
Street, Jack Holt in Zane Grey’s Light of
Western Stars or Wild Horse Mesa.

There are plenty of people driving as far
as necessary now to see Paramount Pictures
regularly. Today’s a good day to start.

Professor Walpole is right. It is
the 'trained farmer who is to be our
future farmer, and the Quicker the
rural people of_ Michigan line up to
this fact and demand the Smith
Hughes 'work, and the centralized
schools in their community, the

the line as satisfied, happy and busi:

The Smith Hughes- agricultural
training in Michigan high schools con-
sists oft-a four year course. The first
.year of work, the student studies
botany and farm shop; the second
year consists of field crops and horti-
culture; the third year animal hus-
bandry; and the fourth year soils and
farm management. The work is out-
lined from a practical and scientific
point of View, consisting of class
room, laboratory work, and field trips.

In 1925 there were 122 high schools
in Michigan giving definite agricul-

tural instructors. We hope that the
time is close at hand when every high

is a part of the community, will be'

Then we shall, see the farmer a

shall all be singing farmers too.

PROTECTION FOR FUR BEARERS.

 

Is it lawful to trap and kill wood-
chucks any time during the year?
'I‘hereAare a lot of them on our farm.
The fur bearing animals protected
by the statute are confined to otter,
fisher, martin, skunk, beaver, mink,
muskrat, and raccoon, and the game
animals protected are moose, elk,
deer, reindeer, rabbit and squirrel. We
find no protection for woodchucks.——
Rood.

 

TIME TO RE-MARRY.

 

According to the laws of Michigan,
how long must a person wait in order
to re-marry after obtaining divorce?—
A. F. H

No time is required, but the decree
may be vacated at any time before it
,is enrolled; which is twenty days af-
ter the decree is entered—Rood.

 

TAXES WERE UNPAID.

 

I bought timber stumpage from a
company through a representative
who told me the taxes were paid. I
supposed his word was good. I cut
timber and hauled it to the railroad.
Afterwards I found out that the land
was delinquent. I was arrested then
for trespass. My case is set for Sept.
8. What shall I do? My timber is
attached so I cannot ship it. What
shall I do about that?——F. M. C.

The representations of the seller
are no protection to the purchaser in
the action by the state. He is bound
to ascertain the facts. It might be a
strong circumstance to induce accept-
ance of settlement. The timber can-
not be released without paying the
tax.‘—-—Rood.

 

PAYMENT OF OLD DEBT.

 

In 1911 I bought furniture, paying
weekly payments until 1914. At that
time I attempted to pay the bill in
full, but found there was a difference
in the company’s and my account.
Their account did not include $10 that
my account did. I would not pay it.
There has not been any payment since
1915. We had a funeral in our home
and had this same company direct the
funeral. I paid this bill, half in cash
and half in weekly payments. They
say that this makes the other debt
payable, which would otherwise be
gutéawlgd. Must I pay the old debt —-—-

Debtors making.payments of money
have a right to direct upon what debt
it shall be applied.
, direct its application the creditor may
apply it upon any debt owing by the
,debtor to him. If, under these cir-
cumstances the payments were made
without direction as to its, application.

Ll

 

 

 

If they do not

  
 
  

and the creditor, exercising his priv«
ilege of application, applied the pay.
ment upon the 01d account, the last
account would still be unpaid and col—
lectible. Payments not expressly upon
the old account wouldnot operate to
toll the statute of limitations so as to
make suitable maintainable upon the
old account—Rood.

 

HUSBAND N0 RIGHTS IN WIFE’S
PROPERTY.

 

A wife owns a farm and re-marries,
not deeding half to her second hus-
band. They make money from the
farm and buy cattle. If the husband
leaves the wife, what property can the
wife hold for her share?—L. S.

The husband acquires no right in
the land or personal property of the
wife «by the marriage—Rood.

 

REFUSES TO PAY BACK LOAN.

 

Two years ago a man borrowed
some money from me. He does not
pay it back. A few months ago he
wrote, asking the amount he owed and
promising to pay it, but he does not.
He is making good wages. How can
I collect?——M. J. S.

The only legal remedy is by suit on
the promise. Garnishment may be
had on the judgment or by permission
of the justice at the commencement
of suit—Rood.

ADVISE 0N DIVISION OF
PROPERTY.

 

We deeded part of our real estate
to our older children. The remainden
of: real and personal property is in my
own name. Would it be better to
have this all in a joint deed with my
wife Would this save the trouble of
probating if I die first? It will be
necessary to make a will as the
younger children have not received
the portion the o der ones have. What
is the best plan.——H. L. G.

Holding the property by entirety
saves time and expense of probating
the estate. By Compiled Laws (1915)
Section 11800: “Any estate real or
personal may have been given by the
intestate in his lifetime as an ad-
vancement to any child or other lineal
descendant shall be considered as part
of the estate of the intestate, as far as
regards the division or distribution
thereof among his issue,“ and shall be
taken by such Child or other descend-
ant toward his share of the estate of
the intestate.” Section 11,803, pro-
vides, that all gifts and grants shall
be deemed to have been made in ad-
vancement if they are expressed in
the grant or charged in writing bytiie

. FEAR DEVIL'S PAINT BRUSH.

 

WEED that heretofore has been,

‘ A as far as known, a total stranger
to Genesee county, has made its ap-

pearance in a woodlot located not far

from the city of Flint. This noxious

growth is recognized by botanists as

the “Devil’s Paint Brush,” or “Orange

Hawkweed.” _

Owing to the fact that this weed
has no upright stalk, and that its
leaves lay flat almost on the ground,
its, subjugation through the process of
mowing is practically impossible. It
forms mats and tufts upon the ground.
It spreads rapidly through under and
overground runners. It also sends out
a considerable ’volume of winged

seeds that in appearance resemble the‘ ‘

down from the Canada thistle, al-
though ‘smaller than the latter.
Through its rapid propagating quali-
ties it quickly takes possession of a
field in which it once gets thoroughly
started, crowding out all other plants.

It— belongs to the dandelion family,
but does not resemble it in appear-
ance. The leaves are four to six inch-
es long and are round at the ends.
They have no indentations, as is char-
acteristic of the dandelion leaf. At
the top of the stalk are five or six
small heads, crowded 'close together,
and about an inch in diameter, These
bloom ‘with deep orange flowers.
Shortly after the head closes it opens
again to set free its winged seeds.
The leaves of the plant are soft and
hairy, with long, rather dark hairs.—

Better producing farm animals

—when they get the right kind of salt " _

Whether it be milk, or. meat, or work, every farmer knows that he
will ‘get more of these commodities from sleek, healthy, well-con-
ditioned animals. ,

One of the most important factors in maintaining this condition is
salt. Stock could not do without it. It follows, then, that if your
farm animals are given plenty of pure, mild salt—free from bitter
impurities which cause them to eat less than they really need—they
will be good, steady producers.

The ideal farm salt

For 39 years, Diamond Crystal has been accepted as “The Salt
that’s all Salt.” The salt deposits from which it is taken, 2,200 feet
below the earth’s surface, are of exceptional purity. Scores of gov-
ernment tests have shown that Diamond Crystal always analyzes
more than 99 per cent pure.

Diamond Crystal is mild. Pure salt is always mild. And that is
why farm animals like it—and always eat enough to keep them in
perfect condition. .

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

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

meats, for livestock. Study the Salt Guide at the right—andask for
Diamond Crystal at the store where you trade.

, Connie Switser was a crook, a thin
, and pale, cunning little crook, twenty-
. one years old. He had nicknames,
~ half a dozen of them, but they need
not be mentioned here; all of them,
hOWever, suggested his likeness, in
one.way\ or another, to that member
of the rodent family known familiarly
as the rat. Connie always lived in the
present; the past was forever gone,
and the future was, to him, a distinct-

" ly', uncertain quantity.

At the moment, little Switser was
lounging on a much-whittled wooden
"bench just under the open front win-
dow of the sheriff’s office in a small,‘
pine-scented town named Dale. Un-
less it was because the vicinity of the
sheriff’s office seemed safer for him
than anywhere else, he had no special
reason for being at that particular
place. Connie was almost too sick to
get out of town. He hadn’t been well
for a year, which explains the basic
why of his sojourn in this land of
gentle atmosphere and no twilight to
speak of.

The rays of the declining sun an-
noyed him and he sat up. At that in-
stant his eye fell upon the lithe and
munded figure of a young woman in
the flower-filled front yard of a cottage
across the sandy street. She was
gathering an armful of red and white
roses. Connie Switser had always
looked upon women as necessary evils,
like big feet and chimneys, and he
had always turned up his nose at
them, but this one—he grudgingly
told himself that this one was all to
the mustard and he was in no way
mistaken. He never could understand
his strange, quick liking for the rose
lady, nor could anybody else, perhaps.
If only he were a man as other men,
he told himself, he“

“Say, you!”

A- big and blue~shirted arm came
through the open window/behind him,
and a big and sun-browned hand
dropped to his shoulder. He. turned
his tousled head and looked straight
into the serious blue eyes of heavily-
built, 1niddle~aged Sheriff Bill Maddon.

“Dale,” Maddon went on, “ain’t
never been fond 0’ tramps and I sure
ain’t in any prayerful humor. Where’s
your visible means 0’ support?”

Connie sneered openly. Not that he
minded being looked upon as a com-
mon tramp. In point of fact, it suited
him very well to be looked upon as a
tramp. It was in the blood and bone
of Connie Switser to sneer at officers.
The‘composite mass of the officers of
everywhere formed his great and re-
lentless enemy. .

“AW, don’t take it so hard,” he
clipped. His voice would have been
shrill, had it not been' so weak. “I
ain’t been in the habit o’ carryin’ my
stocks and bonds with me. Honest,
I’m a rich Irish count in disguise. I
just wanted to rest here for a minute
or two, be. I’m waitin’ for my Rolls-
Royce; the chofers you get now ain’t
to be depended on, 0’ course. Cain’t
you have a little bit of a heart? You
3am tell without lookin’ I’m sicker’n a

0g.”

The latter sentence was only too
true, and Maddon saw it at once.
Maddon withdrew his hand, the hand
of the law; then he put a silver dollar
on the window-sill between them. This
sheriff was locally famous for his
share of the thing we call sporting
blood: Back in Kentucky he had lost
a good farm in a bet on a county elec-
tion. He owned a pair of ears on
another man’s head; he won them in
a bet on a horse-race in Kentucky.
Maddon, bantered sufficiently, would
bet anything he had.

“This dollar might help. Stay here
the rest 0’ the day if you feel like it,”
he said slowly.

Connie glanced at the coin; then he
looked the sheriff straight in the eye
again and twisted his thin lips into
something that was deeper and more
full of meaning than a mere sneer.
To‘him, Maddon was not just Mad-
don; ‘Maddon represented his great
and relentless enemy.

“Keep your pin-money,” he replied,
still with his thin lips twisted. “My
chofer’s comin’ by way 0’ the bank
and he’s bringin’ me a couple 0’ hun-
dred thousand—my Rolls-Royce cho-
fer. . Say, did you ever see one 0’ them
Rolls-Royces ?”

Maddon soberly shook his head.
Madldon did soberly anything he did
at a .

“It’s a automob’le a hundred yards

long with a steerin’ wheel on both

ends,” little Switser ran on. “Two
decks to it, like a ship. I’ll take you,”
he finished with a grandiose gesture,
“to Yurrope with me sometime.”

The crook turned from the window
and his gaze once more sought that
entrancing vision of feminity in the

was Sheriff Bill Maddon’s one and
only pet daughter. ' '
“Same old thing!” blurted Alden.

"‘More cattle gone without a hoof-

print behind ’em; disappeared the
same as if the earth swallowed ’em.
No fences down. All gates locked, and
no cow-tracks anywhere near ’em.
And,” he went on, narrowing his gray
eyes at the officer, “there’s the same
foot-prints of a man who wears num-
ber ten boots!” ‘ ,-

Bill Maddon stiffened perceptibly at
the. .insinuation against his ability as
an officer, for it amounted to exactly
the. as he saw it. He had tried, and
tri with diligence, to catch the mys-
terious rustler, the man of the number
ten boots, and he had failed miserably.
Hed didn’t speak, Tom Alden contin-‘
ue :

“Suppose you authorize me, deputize
me to catch the thief, eh, Bill? I’ll
lay you a bet that I can do it!”

“You’ll lay me a bet that you can
catch the thief?” rumbled Maddon.
He frowned hard. His blood was up

 

 

 

flower-filled yard across the street.
She was standing beside a bougain-
Vlllea now, with a sheaf of fragrant
roses in her arms.

After a moment of staring solemnly
at Switser’s back, Sheriff Bill Maddon
shook his head, went to his scarred
roll-top desk and sat down. The
young woman went into the house and
Connie frowned unconsciously when
his eyes beheld her no longer. Then
Connie stretched himself out on the
bench again and pulled his slouch hat
over his face to shut out a vagrant
ray of sunlight.

A few minutes afterward, a man
drove up in an orange-colored buck-
board drawn by a pair of half-wild,
sun-scalded, young sorrel horses. He
was not more than twenty-five, tall
and strong, good looking enough and
tanned most beautifully. He wore the
laced boots, broad gray hat and khaki
of a palmetto-land rancher or cow-
man. Connie Switser had seen him
before, and one of his slyly peeping
eyes recognized him now. It was
“Rancher Tom” Alden of the Rancho
Alden, which was on a big, slow river
two miles west of Dale.

Rancher Tom sprang from the vehi-
cle and tied the reins to a peg of the
hitching-rack. He glanced at Connie,
who appeared to be sleepng as
soundly as a boulder, and strode into
Maddon’s office. Maddon went to his

feet and the two men stood there‘starr

ing at each other with the tiniest pos-
sible suggestion of anger in their eyes.

The little crook sat up noiselessly,
watched and listened. It was the
sheriff who broke the silence.

“I wouldn’t get all worked up like
that over it, Rancher. What is it?”

Rancher Tom flushed and paled. He
was hot~headed at times and this was
one of the times. Rarely or never be-
fore had he forgotten himself as he
forgot himself now. Connie Switser’s
lady of roses was Alden’s sweetheart,
and that same estimable little lady

now. “Just what are you willin’ to
bet, Rancher? How big a sport are
you, anyhow?”

Alden straightened. His blood, too,
was up. It was up so high that it al-
most made him dizzy.

“All I’ve got -~in the World is my
ranch,” said he. “I’ll bet you that!”

It was rather staggering. Maddon
sank an inch or two, studied the floor
at his feet, rubbed his somewhat stub~
bly brown chin thoughtfully, then
looked back to his visitor.

“You know, Tom,” he muttered,
"that I ain’t got anything much except
my house and the sheriff’s job. It
couldn’t bet you the job, 0’ course.
The little house ain’t wo’th anywhere
near as much as your ranch. You
wouldn’t want my right arm—though
if you won it, you’d sure get it. What
have I got that you’d like to see me
put up against your precious palmetto
land, Rancher?”

Something in the tones .of his voice
made Alden a little ashamed that he
had been hasty and more or less un-
wise. It was true, and he knew it,
that Maddon OWned no property ex-
cept his cottage home across the
sandy street. Then a brilliant thought
rose to the. surface of the brain of
Rancher Tom and he put it into words
forthwith. '

“Look, here, Bill, I’ve asked you a
dozen times for your girl, and you’ve
always refused me—for no reason on
earth that I could see. She’d marry
me, Bill, if you’d let her. I’d be good
to her. You know,that. I’l put up
my ranch and all there is on t, cows
and horses and houses and everything
else, against her, in a bet that I can

stick iron bracelets on the big rustler

that’s been takin’ my cattle, and do
it in thirty days! On honor. No
papers and no publicity. I’m a gentle-
man and so are you. Not a soul but
you and me, Bill, shall know anything
about it. What do you say?”

Connie the crook had not missed ‘a
word of any of it. He winked in-

I want to see how much of the game-
cock there is‘in you!”

Suddenly Bill Maddon shot out his
hand and Rancher Tom gripped it. .'

0n honor andno papers,” said the
sheriff. ‘Also, no publicity. I wouldn’t
have it talked for' anything. If you
wm my girl, Tom, you sure can have
her, and if you don’t,‘ you sure can’t.
If I win your ranch, I’m goin" to take

it and I’m. goin’to keep it, too. Do

you understand me, Tom?”

“My understandin’ is perfect,”
smiled Rancher Tom. “‘Pin a deputy’s
badge on my shirt, put a .45 'gun on

'me and swear me in, and after that

you can go to gettin’ ready to give
the bride away!”

Connie smirked a long smirk while
the little swearing-in ceremony was
taking place.

As Rancher Tom turned for the
doorway he caught sight of that pale,
half-emaciated, face , just above the
window-ledge. Connie’s smirk faded
and his eyes sharpened. Alden took
three quick steps across the floor,
seized little Switser by-a §h0ulder and
drew him through the window. x
. “Eavesdropper!” he snapped, shak-
ing Connie and facing Maddon at the
same time. “It’s no secret, Bill; this
tramp heard everything!”

Maddon’s brows knitted; he bit his
lower lip. Switser sneered wickedly.

.Alden shook Switser again,

_“What are we goin’ to do with him,
Bill? By George, he sure knows!
Could we jail him. for a month and
pay him for his time?”

“That wouldn’t keep his mouth
shut,” growled Maddon, “and I’ve got
no grounds for jailin’ him, Tom.
Handle the matter yourself. You
made the trade—no publicity, you
know. It ain’t so awful important;
still, everybody’s business ain’t any.
body’s business, and this is a private
matter if ever there was one. I-I
knowed he was there but I forgot it,
Tom.”

“Handle it myself, you say?”

, Alden turned back to Switser.
Alden had an idea.

“Listen to me, son,” he said to Con-
nie. “I hereby invite you to spend
about four weeks as my honored
guest out at Rancho Alden and I also
advise you to accept the invite. There
ain’t anybody but me and the boys and
the black cook. There’ll be plenty 0'
grub and plenty o’ fishin’. Do you
accept or not?” . ,

“S’posin,” flared Connie, “I‘don’t?

.Wat’ll you do about it?”

All the masterfulness in Rancher
Tom came to the fore then. He looked
Connie the crook squarely and mm
rowly in the eye for almost a minute

,before he spoke again.

“I think,” said he, “you’ll accept.-
I’m ready to go. Are you?”

A peculiar light flitted across Swit~
ser’s half-bloodless face. e '

“Yes,” he answered, “I’m ready.
Buy me some smoke—sticks, will you?
I ain’t had one today.”

~Alden and Bill Maddon exchanged
glances; then Alden and Switser
walked together out of the office.
Another moment and they were in the
buckboard flying toward a small store,
the length of a block up the street.
Rancher Tom bought a dozen pack-

‘ages of cigaretes for his seat-mate.

Switser began to smoke like a burning

brush-pile as they started for the_

Rancho Alden.
As they were about to pass Bill

Maddon’s cottage, Switser noted that -

the nose lady stood at the gate. He
noted also that she was smiling at
Rancher Tom; it was a fulsome smile,
a. winning smile—Lit was a great deal
more than that, and Connie was hu-
man enough to understand. Some-
thing akin to jealous rage rose within

Switser then, but he knew in his soul-

'Alden raised hat, spoke and
drove , on. Switser watched to see
whether the rose lady’s eyes ,followed
them and saw that they did. Then
to the big ranchman
at his side. ‘ /

“Who is she?” he wanted to know.

“Sheriff Maddon’s girl.” .'

“Oh, so that’s the one he’s bettin’
against your measly ranch. He’s bet-
tin’ odds all right!” '

“Yes,” nodded Tom Alden, “that’s
the one, and you sure better not say
anything about it- Get me?”

“I foller.”° _

Connie was now glowermg at the
sorrels. As the daughter of one of
the laws’ representatives, she be-
longed in theenemy’s camp, .and yet
the poor girl couldn’t help It. One
could not always choose one’s parents,
of course. In the deepest analysis it
did not lessen one whit his queer little
idolatry for the lady of the roses.

“What’s her name, Rancher?”
made “bold to ask. .

“Alice.” .

They drove in silence'for a few min-
utes, Alden holding his horses to a
trot by keeping the reins always taut.
Then Connie spoke again— . .

“I don’t blame you for likin’ her,

he

Rancher.” .
“Everybody,”- said Alden, “likes
Alice. You do that just the same as

you like sunshine. I’d a little rather,
son," he continued soberly, “that you
wouldn’t mention her to me any
more.”

It was because he did not wish to
discuss her with a man of Switser’s
caliber, and Switser knew it just as
well as Rancher Tom knew it. Swit-
ser's lips tightened, curled bitterly
and parted. .

“You go to the devil,” he clipped.

“Thanks,” Tom Alden smiled.

“What’s your name, son'?”

There was no answer.

The ranchman studied his compan-

ion’s pale face out of the tail of his
eye. Connie seemed intent upon
watching the pine-straw road aheadof
them, which ran through a palmetto—
filled wilderness of tall pines that
were draped in streamers of funeral-
gray Spanish mosses. A pair of par-
tridges whirred up suddenly from al.
most under the front feet- of the sor-
rels and the horses plunged, rendering
it difficult for Connie to keep his
place on the buckboard’s seat. Alden
sawed on the reins and checked the
animals easily. The crook was com-
pelled to give him a glanceof admir-
ation for his enviable strength.
, Soon they drew up before a gate in
a wire fence a hundred yards from
the ranch-house. Rancher Tom passed
the reins to Switser.

“The gate’s too heavy for you,” he
said. “It drags. You can drive
through and then stop for me. Hold
’em ‘tight, son. They’re all fire and
brimstone. That’s their names, ‘Fire’
and ‘Brimstone.’ ”

Connie’s fingers closed mechanically
on the long strips of leather. Alden
stepped out of the vehicle, ran. to the
gate and swung it open. One of the
posts was a lightning-riven and much
decayed pine tree; the other was a
sapling oak.

“Get Up, you pair 0’ Dobbins!” cried
Switser, shaking the reins.

The sorrels didn’t move. Before
Alden could call out a warning, Swit-
ser foolishly snatched the whip from
its socket and struck the_horses hard.

Fire and Brimstone leaped madly.
There was a splintering crash of col-
lision mingled with a cry from the
throat of Rancher Tom, and Connie
was thrown violently, head foremost,
over the dashboard. There came
another splintering crash and a great
weight bore Switser hard down on his
face. He heard sounds of vicious and
rapid blows,- then an ear-splitting roar,
and after that the bright afternoon
sun seemed to Connie to go out like a.
candle smothered in a gale.

The house at the Rancho Alden was
not an elaborate thing but it was big
and comfortable, having been built
with an eye to the time when it would
in all probability be occupied by more
than a mere man and his black cock.
It was a low structure after an old
Spanish style. with a patio or court in
the center and a veranda running en-
tirely around the outside. Lines of
tall and beautiful cabbage-palms
shaded the veranda, and two of these
same cool, green trees grew in the
patio.

Night had fallen when Connie Swit-
ser. came to himself again. He was
lying abed in the house at the'Rancho
Alden, and Rancher Tom and a wiz-
ened little doctor from Dale were
standing beside him. A burning oil-

spirit. He looked toward Alden and,
remembering something .of the wreck
of the buckboard, went .on sourly:

“Didn’t quite get me killed, did you?
Better luck next time! 'You might try
shootin’ or poisonin’. Say, did you
save my coffin-nails?”

Rancher Tom was silent for a full
niinute. When he spoke, hesaid sim-
D Y— '

“I saved your coffin-nails.”

“I want one and I want it righ
now.” ' .

. Alden“ turned questioning eyes to-
ward the doctor. The doctor shrugged.

“Might as well—but give him only
one for tonight.”

The owner of- the RancholAlden
faced about and beckoned, and a. huge,
youngish man in boots and khaki,
whose sunburn amounted almost to
the hue of weathered copper, came

‘from somewhere in the shadows.

“Open the package on the table in
the livin’~room, Bud,” he ordered, his
vome heavy, with mingled pity, con-
tempt and exasperation, “and bring
this rat a‘ cigaret.”

The big cowman hastened away and
returned shortly. He delivered the
cigaret, scratched a match on the
floor and held the tiny flame a con-
venient distance from Switser’s mouth.
Connie put the cigaret between his
lips but he did not light it just then.
He seemed to have developed a curi~
ous interest in the cowman’s burly
countenance. Then Switser turned
half over in bed and looked at the
cowman’s laced boots. They were big
pnes and not a number smaller than
en.

The match went out. The man in
the big boots poised another.

“Say when,” he growled.

“When,” clipped little Switser.

The match became a flame and Con-
nie lighted his coffin-nail.

~ ORE complaining,» more ' weeps
and walls! Perhaps ‘we should
be more respectful, as it is not

la topic for humor to be far from

home, and hungry. And it isla good
place to remark that we cannot live
on the blessings of the past. Jehovah
had led the people across the sea
when an armed enemy was behind.
But that did not suffice for now. They
could not eat the deliverance at the
Red Sea. Memories of it would not
satisfy hunger. Fresh provision must
be made for the needs of another day.

Living on the past, or trying to, is
impossible business. People are all
' the time trying
it, and even whole
communities at-
tempt it. Some-
times a nation es
says it. The sun-
shine of yester-
day will not do

year’s rains will
not bring a wheat
crop this year. Have a tryst with
God every day. Get in touch with the
Divine each twenty—four hours. The
fact that you were converted at the
old’school house on the hill fourteen
years ago the thirtieth of this month
isla glorious fact. But have you re-
newed that experience today? Living
on past conversions gets thin. Soon
you will be singing, “Where is the joy
when first I saw the Lord?” A new
experience is needful for the new day.

Egypt! It’s a long, long way toEgypt,
but my heart’s right there!

It hardly seems that people can be
as fickle as that, but they are. Some
statesman has said, “The public is a
great big baby,” and the individual
members of it are often not much bet-
ter. Why did they not remember how
they had been delivered at the Red
Sea, and figure that they would be
equally well delivered now? For the
same reason that we forget past help,
and fall~into the slough of discour—
agement ever and again. We humans
are all of a piece.

 

B UT bread they must have, that is
certain. When the late Sir Ern-
est Shaclgleton was getting to South
Georgia, a barren isle in the Antarctic,
after two weeks in an open boat, with
skin peeling from arms and faces, he
and his two companions staggered in-
to the Norwegian fishing colony at
one end of the island. _When it was
all over, and his twenty-two comrades
had been rescued from Elephant
Island,_ where they had been living
under an overturned boat for three
months, Shackleton said that there
are just two things in the world that
matter,—-G0d and bread.

And the bread was forthcoming
now. When they waked up in the
morning, they found a small round
thing, that made them ask,» what is it?
This is supposed to be the origin of
the word, from the Hebrew, mah hu,

TREATMENT FOR HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE.

 

What is a cure for poor circulation
or high blood pressure, where the
blood clots in veins and causes hard
lumps in the flesh?~Mrs. R.

In general a patient with these
symptoms should. take great care not
to do any work that is a heavy strain
and to take a great deal of rest. It is
a serious condition and one that can
only be treated by a physician who
has an opportunity to examine the
case and find out the cause of the.
high blood pressure.

DIET FOR MUCOUS COLITIS.

 

_Will you please tell me the. best
diet for mucous colitis?—-—Mrs. M. C.

It depends ,very much upon the
stage of the case and the condition
of the patient. Since mucous colitis
is a very chronic disease of,long dura-
tion, starvation will not do and except-
ingduring periods of exacerbation the
patient should eat well cooked meats,
milk soups, toasted bread and in gen-
eral a very nourishing diet. There will
come times, though, when food of any
kind causes an aggravation of the
complaint.» Buttermilk is often well
borne at such times. Each case must
be governed by its own conditions. ’

OME city adviser tried to tell us
recently that because the mer-
chant doesn’t take his vacation at

Christmas time, we farm folks
shouldn’t expect to take ours in the
summer (our busy season); we should
go in midwinter when we arn’t busy!
If that fellow would spend one winter
on an average farm, I’m thinking he
would discover several things to at-
tend to that would prohibit a winter
vacation, not to mention the utter im-
possibility of getting away from a
farm at that time of year. Further-
more, who would care anything about
a vacation when the thermometer
hovers around zero or drops away be-
low, and you shiver like an aspen leaf
every time you stick your nose outside
the door?

No one denies the need of a vaca-
tion for the farm family, but the prob-
lem is how to accomplish that object.
In many cases the expense of an ap-
preciable trip puts that variety of va-
cation out of the question, but prob-
ably no special harm is done thereby,
since journeys are rarely if ever rest-
ful and the object of taking a vacation
is to acquire needed rest and change.
Probably, too, the change is a very es-
sential part of the plan, but many
times, when actually absence seems
impossible, just quiet‘rest at home will
work wonders with tired farm folk.
Yes, it is rather hard to obtain, but
it can be done if one wants to do it
\badly enough.

Just planning ahead, ‘doing con-
siderably cooking, and managing with
the least possible work for a week,
will help very materially. Buy the
bread and any other baking that can
be bought, hire the washing done, and
rest in the shade with a good book;
or without, if the head is equally tired.

For me, and I believe for the ma—
jority of farm women accustomed to
preparing early breakfasts the year
around, the very best thing about a
vacation is the chance to sleep all I
want to—not that I seem to be able
to acquire that Utopian luxury, but
when I have a vacation for a week or
two weeks, I shall sleep all the time
unless I have to prepare meals for
someone, part of the time, and if I do
they won't be early breakfasts. If I
just had the chance, I think I could
sleep a month.

The second best plan is to take
one’s vacation a day at a time and
,we do manage that to some extent.
There are certain picnics and other
outings that we plan on well in ad—
vance and, unless an entirely unfor-
seen obstacle prevents, we actually
stop and “take them in” when picnic
season begins. I pack a big basket
with dishes and silverware enough for
the family and after a picnic, I repack
it so that it is practically ready all
summer. No one prepares the elabor-
ate lunches for a basket picnic they
once did, and» most picnics are com—
munity affairs, anyway, involving little
cooking for one woman. They mean
a day of rest and change for all con-
cerned and this is a real vacation.

Plans Own Chautauqua

Rum! Commumty Fma’r Own Talent
By Hildal Richmond

OR a number of years a home

coming under the name of a

Chautauqua was carried on in our
county in a progressive rural com~
munity. A pretty woods near to pure
water, was chosen as the site and
there was no expense except a little
cleaning to get the place ready. Seats
were rented and a small platform put
up which of course cost money, but
for the most part it was a community
work in which all joined wi'th a day’s
labor.

The program was arranged to have
a great deal of music and a small
number of talks. The Cost for the
music was the transportation to and
from town of the musicians,
big picnic dinner for them at noon.
The speakers were ministers, laWyers
and public speakers who were glad to
come for nothing, often two opposing
candidates'for office taking the oppor-
tunity to meet the country people in
this way, though of course nothing of
a political nature was mentioned.’ A
number of opportunities were given
for local talent to speak yery briefly,
or for the young folks to sing or play

The expenses were met by the 811;

and a'

 
  

ways popular refreshment stand oper-
ated by the directors of the Chautau-
qua. Pop corn, ice cream, candy, pea-
nuts and pop wiped out every debt
and left a nice balance for the follow-
ing season. Everything was sold at a
low margin, so that the'patronage was
ample and while the profits were low
they were sufficient to make it a. pay-
ing financial. proposition.

Of course the object was more
social than literary, musical, or finan-
cial. ‘ The long dinner hour the happy
reunions, the opportunity for visitors
to meet all the old friends and neigh-
bors, the good picnic food, the life in
the open, the old memories and the
magnifying of‘ the joys of country liv-
ing sweetened and freshened all of
life. It was different from the big
county Chautauqua being more inti-
mate and friendly and neighborly, It
lasted two days, not long enough to
wear the ladies out preparing picnic
dinners and was a time of complete

children, who played among the trees

satisfaction all around. Some or the q s

,war, but it is to be hoped that when
the country settles down after the
great conflict, as thoughtful'observers
think it is now rapidly doing, we hope
that the helpful little Chautauqua will
again be. an annual feature or the
neighborhood for good.

Don’t Ice Cakes

fix

T is not the actual baking of cakes
I that takes the. time, or that the

average busy farmwife dreads. ‘It
is the icing of them. And yet most
families do not'seem to take kindly to
a plain loaf cake. I have learned
some ways with cakes that might
really be called “substitute icings” as
they take the place of icings, with
only a fraction of the work.

A plain yellow cake is baked in a
flat pan, making it about two inches
thick. It is not sweetened quite so
much as usual. A moderate oven is
used for baking, and just before the
cake goes into the oven it is spread
with the following mixture: (This is
for a two-cup cake.) One tablespoon
flour, one teaspoon cinnamon, three—
fourths cup sugar, and enough melted
lard or other shortening so the mix-
ture will spread. With a cake batter
of ordinary consistency, this mixture
will not only make a nice frosting for
the top, but will ooze down through
the batter, giving the whole cake a
delightful flavor. '

Either a light cake or a burnt sugar
cake is delicious, if covered before
putting in the oven, with half a cup of
chopped raisins, figs or prunes, one—
fourth cup sour cream, and three-
fourths cup sugar well mixed.

After a rather thin‘ cake is almost
ready to leave the oven; and near
enough done that it will not fall, it
may be spread with a sugar syrup,
flavored with vanilla. Sour cream,
sugar and cinnamon also make» a deli-
cious mixture for spreading on cake
batter. A dark molasses,spice cake,
baked with either raisins or nuts is
nice served with some Kind of fruit.
sauce, and when served in this way,
an icing really seems superfluous. My
family was not at all hard to “edu-
cate” to like cake without icings
and now I seldom make any other
kind ——Nelle Portrey Davis.

NEW WAY TO SERVE EGGS.

 

Our family is very fond of eggs.
Would like to learn some new ways
of serving them.——Mrs. O. D.

Have you tried surprising them
with baked-stuffed eggs or escalloped
eggs?

Escalloped Eggs.

Slice one dozen hard boiled eggs in
thin slices. On the bottom of a well
buttered baking dish, place a layer of
bread crumbs, then a layer of eggs,

,‘a.

_, "'ff”,:QWeiév-Withj‘bitsyo, butter“ and‘salt, and

pepper. ~;.Cdntiiiue to- blend Liliese" as
gradients until the dish is full. Be
sure that the crumbs cover the eggs
on top; Over the whole pour a large
eupful of sweet cream or milk, and a
little grated cheese. Brown nicely in
the oven. ' ,
Baked Stuffed Eggs.

Boil six eggs twenty minutes, strip
ad the shells, and cut them into two
lengthwise. Remove the yolks, mash
them finely, add half the quantity of
finely minced ham, one teaspoonful of
parsley, one-fourth teaspoonful of mus-
tard, one‘half teaspoonful of salt, a
little white pepper and a dash of cay-
enne. Mix thoroughly, moisten with
cream and fill the, whites, rounding
the mixture over the top, brush with
melted butter, and bake until brown.
Serve with white sauce.

America is spending less annually
to train recruits for her teaching army
than the cost of constructing two first-
class battleships.

what trifling things make a child hap-
py, it’s a wonder we grown-ups don’t
try it more often.

Adventures of Tilly and Billy

W/zy T ommy T omato Cried ‘

AFTER Aunty Lou had finished the
story of Runaway Popsy, Tilly
and Billy ran off to play. But the
next day when Aunty Lou was pre-
paring the fresh vegetables for dinner
that she had first brought in from the
garden, the two little playmates were
standing by her,.patiently waiting to
hear another story.

They knew Aunty Lou was busy and
sometimes didn’t like to be bothered
with telling stories. But today, just
as she picked up a big round tomato,
and began to prepare it for a salad,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aunty Lou said, “Well it here isn’t

et.”

“Do tell us about Tommy Tomato
and his new red jacket,” begged Tilly
and Billy.

“One day” began Aunty Lou, “when
Tommy Tomato was only a little
green button hanging on a tomato
bush, he grew impatient and began to

' cry. When Sally South Wind blew by
that way she was surprised to find
little Tommy crying.
' “‘Well, wen-Tommy Tomato, what
is the trouble?’_’ asked Sally South
Wind.

“ 'Bo,~- ho, .ho,’ cried Tommy, "I want

iacket too, and be of use in the
world.
“‘Too bad, too bad,’ sympathized

Sally South Wind.

“But Tommy Tomato felt so very
badly that he was tiny that he could
not stop crying:

“ ‘What do you want to be in the
world?’ questioned Sally South Wind.

“ ‘I want to grow big and have a red
jacket like Brother Timmy. Then
when the mistress comes into the gar-
den, she will say tome just like she
did when she put Timmy into her

‘ basket, ‘Here is a big, round tomato,

plump and full of vitamines. Buster
shall have it for his lunch today and
it will make him grow big and
strong.’

“‘Too bad, too bad,’ sighed Sally
South Wind again. ‘This little fellow
does really want to be of use in the
world. I wonder what I can do to
help him.’

“Then Sally South Wind blew all
around little Tommy Tomato and at
last discovered the reason why he was
so tiny and did not grow. A big leaf
covered him so that the sun could not
shine on him.

“‘Do not cry any more,’ said Sally
South Wind, ‘1 will help you.’

“So she blew and blew until at last
she blew the leaf away and then the
sun'could shine on Tommy Tomato.
In a very short while Tommy grew
big and plump and changed his green
jacket for a red one. Then the gar-
den mistress came and picked him to
help make little Buster grow big and
strong." ,

“Aunty Lou, do tomatoes really
help us to grow big. and strong?” asked
Billy when the story was finished.

“Yes, they do,” replied Amity Lou,

Why Attend High School?” D

By Merry Circlers

_ HIS is a question whose answer

depends almost entirely upon the

circumstances connected with it.
City ,boys and girls can spend their
time to an advantage in the acquire-
ment of an education which otherwise
might be spent in idle habits. On the
other hand, a farm boy or girl can
gain plenty of valuable experience
while working at home. Many a farm
lad isruined by a high school educa-
tion for after seeing his city friends
with their fine clothes and automobiles,
and the time they have for recreation
he begins to be discontented with the
farm. At home his father works in
overalls from twelve to fifteen hours

,while the city man works in an office

for about eight hours. At home this
boy spends little money and enjoys
late hours about once a week, while
his high school associates spend a
liberal amount of money for amuse-
ment and luxuries while the clock

seldom sees him at home until after

midnight. Thus, work is greater than
education in the success of a farmer.

On the other hand, if one wishes to
follow a profession, they must receive
a great deal of training in school.
However, the value of a high school
education to an individual depends
greatly upon his character. If a per-
son has enough grit and perseverance,
none of the evils of a high school edu-
cation will prevent him from being
successful. And although high school
brings out indolent habits, it is not to
blame entirely for their formation-—
June Nelson, M. C.

I’ll say we should! To have a good
education should be everyones’ aim as
it is necessary for marked success in
almost any line of business.

In olden times the rich people re-
ceived all the education, while the
poor people, who needed the education
to make a living, could not afford it.
Education for women was also
deemed unnecessary. If these people
had been given an education, they
would have been more competent to
provide for themselves and their

families.

Although people used to believe that

'uneducated persons were all right as
j farmers, they now know that educated

men make the best farmers, because
educated men know the value of Tata-
tion and that plant food taken from

Ithe soil has to be replaced and that

if they did not do this, the soil would
soon become worn out and worthless.

I have read many statistics which
show the value of an education. Some
are: '

1. With no schooling, of five mil-
lion, thirty-one attained distinction.

2. With elementary schooling, of
thirty-three million, eight hundred
eight attained distinction.

 
  

   

  

two million, one_thousand twO hun-
dred forty-five attained distinction.

4. With college education, of One
million, five thousand six hundred and
seventy-eight attained distinction.

Every year in school pays for itself
later in life. . .

In most high schools, occupations

and other subjects, which give the
student a chance to learn require-
ments of different vocations, are
taught. To make a success, one needs
both education and experiences—Lucy
Traver, M. 0.

Poultry ‘Notcs‘

. (Continued from page 108)

area of a commercial poultry farm.

There is nothing like the return
check to prove which kind of broilers‘
the public like the best. This year
we have had Leghorns and Rocks
hatched the same day and raised on
the same starting feed and growing
mash. Both breeds weighed about
two pounds each at the time of ship-
ment and both reached that weight
about the same time. The Rocks in
the shipment brought 44 cents per
pound while the Leghorns brought 30
cents per pound. The returns indicate
which broilers are liked the best but
do not prove which breed is the most
profitable. The Leghorn pullets‘may
lay enough eggs this fall to make up
for the loss on the broilers.

Powdered Skim Milk.

In California they have had‘good
success in promoting rapid growth
and preventing coccidiosis by using
dried skim milk in the ration of the
growing chicks. A formula common-
ly used consists of 40 lbs. dried skim
milk, 30 lbs. yellow corn meal, 20 lbs.

‘ ground. barley and 10 lbs. wheat bran.

This ration is kept before the chicks
in hoppers as long as any signs of coc-
cidiosis are present. The chicks are
also given plenty of green feed but
only about half as much grain as they
eat of the mash. When chicks are on
a limited range where green feed is
scarce, it is considered best to add one
quart of cod liver oil to each 100 lbs.
of the mash.

The other means of treating cocci-
diosis consist in placing the flocks on
clean soil. Cull out and kill all weak

and worthless chicks. Divide the
flocks where possible, if there has
been much overcrowding. Clean the

brooder house .every day and add
fresh litter to' the house. Do not
empty the old litter where the chicks
can scratch in it on the range. Sani-
tation, sunshine and sour milk seem
to help a lot in keeping many chick
flocks healthy.

Perform a postmortem on chicks
four to six weeks old that die and see
if a hard yellow cheesy material is
’found lodged in the two tubes or
blind gut which leads from the intes-
tine. If these chicks were pale, light
'in .weight and had a bowel trouble
with the dropping streaked with blood
the trouble was probably coccidiosis.
I have noticed that poultrymen who
feed dried buttermilk starting mashes
and growing mashes or growing
mashes with 'plenty of sour milk to
drink do not have many losses from
coccidiosis and their chicks grow
rapidly.

Michigan Accredited Chicks.

The writer has had good success in
buying accredited chicks this year and
found them a satisfactory way of in-
creasing the flock without buying
more incubators. Not all of us have
the time, capital or inclination to run
a hatchery. It is a specialized busi-
ness requiring a lot of attention. The
chance to buy chicks of as good
breeding and producing ability as they
can hatch from the home flock is ap-
preciated by more poultrymen every
year.

Many poultrymen have looked upon
chick purchases as an expense be-

cause they have not figured the cost.

,of production as carefully as they
should. I think many farmers are be-
ginning to realize the cost of raising

count in the cash value of the‘ eggs

made of musty or mouldyr corn. This
is very injurious to the young poultry
as well as the laying hens. It pays
to sort ever the corn carefully and cull
out all ears showing mouldy kernels.
If the corn in ‘the neighborhood is of
poor quality the poultryman is money
ahead if he buys corn shipped in from
a. section where the quality is better.
Nothing is 'more expensive, to a. poul-
tryman than mouldy grain.

Sometimes corn overheats in the
elevator bins and becomes 'unfit for
poultry feed. Smell of the corn and
if the odor is musty it had best not be
used for the poultry. This year the
prospects for the cat crop are good
and plump fat oats can be soaked and
used to help manufacture eggs during
the late summer and early fall.

MAKE THE CHICKENS ROOST
WHERE YOU WANT THEM.

 

REMEMBER when I was a boy

how angry my father used to get
when the pullets and hens wanted to
roost on everything in the poultry
house with the exception of the
perches. I, too, got a real taste of
this aggravation when I attempted to
make an old barn over into a poultry
house without remodeling it. My plan
was to permit the mangers to remain
so that the laying birds could use
them as a place to lay. Instead, how-
ever, they preferred to use them as
perches. Even the feed boxes were
converted into roosts. I transferred
the birds several nights, but there
were some that never learned to roost
upon the perches. One day I thought
of stretching some small smooth wire
along the mangers and over, about
two or three inches, the boards where
the birds usually roosted. I did the
same thing to all of the partitions,
the feed-hopper and nests. To this
day I have had absolutely no trouble
at all. The chickens always get on
the perches and my manger is clean
and next spring when I want to use
it for other animals all that I will
have to do is to remove the temporary
roosts and dropping boards.

Since the No. 9 smooth wire did the
job well in preventing the chickens
from roosting on the manger, nests,
and hoppers, I stretched it along the
yard fence and over every gate. As
atresult of this the entire flock remain
out of the yard. All of this is due to
thirty cents worth of smooth wire——

RANGE STOPS EGG EATING.

 

I have a flock of Barred Rock pul—
lets 1n fine condition that came into
laying about the middle of October.
Recently I have had reason to believe
they are eating their eggs. Is there
any cure for this?

There is really no definite cure for
egg eating. So far as we know it is a
bad habit or vice that develops among
chickens that are confined. Very
seldom do we ‘find this trouble with
chickens on range. Sometimes a
change of feed will check the trouble
and nearly always, if the birds are
turned out of doors, the egg eating
will stop. This practice, however,
would not be advisable to recommend
in bitter cold weather. You should
know definitely whether or not the
birds are eating the eggs before you
pass judgment against them. Gen-
erally the birds should show some of
the yellow of the egg on the face if
they are really egg eaters. we do
not believe that egg eating is the re-
sult of a deficiency in the ration, al-
though it may be possible. If your

. birds are allowed out of doors, I would

be inclined to

make "a change'in the
ration, » , .

THE .PURE-‘BRED SCRLlB.

IT is occasionally announced that a

certain -~county or section has got-
ten rid of all scrub bulls, Bot bps it?
The grade bull called a \scrub may
have gone; but what about the pure-
bred scrub? The improvement of cat-
tle has been hindered about as much
by the use of scrub pure- -bred bulls as
by grade scrubs.

Naturally the man who starts a
pure-bred herd expects to dispose of
all his surplus stock for breeding pur-
poses and the man who buys a bull
with a pedigree supposes that he is
improving his stock. But every ex-
perienced breeder has long since
learned that there are scrub pure-
breds, and if he be a wise breeder, he is
sending the culls to the butcher rather
than selling them to his neighbor for
breeding purposes. Among the dairy

and other records of performance are
doing much to improve the breeds and
this system of certified performance
might well be extended to other
breeds and classes of live, stock.
Let’s have a. campaign to eradicate the
pure-bred scrub—I. H. Butterfield.

 

HOW TO PRODUCE CLEAN ~MlLK.

HE production of clean milk is es-

sential in making success in sel-
ling dairy products. We have a special
market that came to us because our
milk isgood. Our cows are“clean and
healthy, and particularly free from
tuberculosis. The stables, also, are
clean, the floors being flushed with
water. A pressure tank makes .this
flushing an easy task. The milkers
are healthy, wear clean clothes, and
keep their hands free from dirt during
the milking period. All milk pails
have smalliops, which aid in keeping
out much bacteria and dirt".

The milk room, while convenient to
the stables, is so arranged as to keep
The milker must
step out of doors to pass to it from
the stables. The cooling is done
promptly. The sooner after milking,
the better for the quality of the milk.
After cooling, the milk goes into a. cold
storage tank until time for delivery.
The milk room is kept clean, well ven-
tilated, and has plenty of light. The
doors and windows are screened. A
Mash sink, where utensils are washed
and steamed, is provided. Adrying
'rack, on which utensils may be in-
verted and dried, is conveniently by.
A steam boiler for furnishing hot wa-
ter for washing and sterilizing is lo-
cated just outside.

:the city of -New York discovered that

consuming had not been properly

FITTING THE HORSE COLLAR.

HORSE pulls from the shoulder.

Nothing strange about that. But
do you know what part of the shoul-
der takes the hardest strain of the
draft? The top of the shoulder is
made up of soft bone and cartilage,
and the lower part is the joint and
hard muscle. The pressure of the
draft should come between these
parts, and if the collar is not properly
adjusted, it often causes trouble, and
is often the cause of fistula and of
inflammation cf the spinal cord lead
ing to the back part of the head, which
causes poll evil, and-in many cases
brings on atrophy of the muscle be-
tween the upper and lower shoulder
joints and the result is what is called
sweeny. ‘ If the collar hangs too low
on the shoulder joint, sore breast will
certainly take place.

If a horse is working under heavy

draft, the harness should be so 1111- /

justed that the draft comes'on the
right“ bearing from the lower shoul-.
der, but got too low, as thisbrings
on, or Causes, chest founder, which in.
time renders the horse unfit for any
kind of work. Therefore, if you ex-
pect good service 'from your horse,
look well and often, to the collar bear-
ing—D. Morris.

In view of the high corn-hog price

is thought that fall farrowings will be
at least 25 per cent above those of
1925. This would mean a fall pig crop
of about 16,200,000 head in the Corn
Belt and would warrant an expecta-
tion of about 3,000,000 more hogs for
slaughter in the late spring and sum-

year. This increase, however”, cannot
be expected to increase hog market-
ings before next spring.

FINISH STUDY OF FOOT AND
MOUTH DISEASE.

HE scientific investigation of the

foot and mouth disease begun by
the American commissioners in Eu-
rope a year ago has been completed,
and the scientists have returned home.
They give assurance that this effort
may result in solving some of the
problems in connection with this di-
sease which causes such great econo-
mic losses to the livestock industry
when it gets a. foothold in the country.

BOVINE AND AVIAN TUBERCU-
LOSIS. ,

F the bovine tuberculosis eradica-

tion campaign is continued as vig-
orously and as successfully from now
on as it has been since 1917, Dr. John
R. Mohler, chief of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, figures that the di-
sease will be gotten absolutely under
control and gradually be reduced to a
minimum, ifrnot entirely eliminated
as a problem.

The total percentage of cattle in-
fected with the disease is now prob-
ably less than 3 per cent. “There are
now nearly 15,000,000 cattle under co-
operative supervision,” says Dr. Moh-

are in herds which were found free of
tuberculosis on the last test. In addi-
tion almost 4,000,000 cattle are on the
waiting list for the tuberculin test.”
It is Dr. Mohler’s belief that no in-
dustry has ever made a better invest-
ment than the time, effort, and money
now being employed to eradicate 'this
most deadly disease.

But in our enthusiasm in regard to
bovine tuberculosis work Dr. J. A.
Kiernan, chief of the Bureau of Ani-
mal Industry, thinks we have not
given deserved attention to the eradi-
cation of tuberculosis from our poultry
flocks. “In many counties in the
Corn Belt,” says Dr. Kiernan, “avian
tuberculosis may be causing greater
financial losses than bovine tubercu-
losis.

There is every reason to believe
that avian tuberculosis is rapidly
spreading, and therefore measures
should be inaugurated to eradicate it
from our poultry flocks. Tests have
demonstrated that it is readily trans-
mitted to swine, and today this disease
is causing many retentions _in hogs
raised in modified accredited counties.
The facts should stimulate us to
greater action in our fight againt this
fowl plague.”

WHEAT

Wheat prices have been erratic in
the last few days, reflecting the'rapid
changes in the character of the news.
Milling demand broadens on weak
spots, but flour trade slows down on
the advances. Foreign buying is lim-
ited. Speculative opinion is decidedly
mixed because of uncertainty as to
the outcome of the Canadian crop and
as to the development of sufficient ex-
port business. Prices are about 15
cents over the low point a month ago,
however, and further advances seem
probable sooner or later.

Forecasts on the Canadian crop are
widely divergent, some observers plac-
ing it as low as 300 million bushels
while others of equal reliability, esti-
mate it at 375 million bushels. This
is the main key to the situation, the
ultimate course of prices depending on
which of these forecasts proves to be
correct. If the lower figures are right,
a much higher, market is certain. At
present, Canadian weather is unfav—
orable and the crop has two or three
critical weeks to pass through.

Threshing returns on winter wheat

- have been better than expected in
practically all parts of the country.
In addition, the spring wheat crop
seems to be recovering lost ground.
Present indications are that the next
estimates on the total wheat crop will
show close to 800 million bushels.

CORN

Another advance in corn carried
prices to new high levels for the sea-
son. Primary receipts have been
light, and reports of damage from hot
dry weather have stimulated a great
deal of speculative buying. Cash de-
mand is broader than during the
spring months, although it slows down
on advances. The visible supply has
decreased each week during the last
month, but it‘ remains the largest on
record at this season of the year.

While the recent hot wave undoubt-
edly damaged a good deal of corn, it
forced growth elsewhere, so that the

‘* crop has made up for lost time. Un-
oflicial remrts indicate that the.next
forecast on the crop will be higher
than on July 1. The yield will be
diminished or increased still further,
depending on the temperature and
rainfall of the next month. "Prices
can be expected to fluctuate accord-

will be harvested. Forecasts of the

. size of the crop may be revised down-

ward slightly. Prices have been
strong along with corn, although" the
large visible supply,
movement of new grain to market and
the lack of speculative buying have
kept advances in narrow bounds.

BEANS

While some fields were planted late
and some others replanted, the crop
as a whole is coming along quite fav-
orably. Recent rains insure adequate
moisture to carry the crop a good
ways toward maturity.

SEEDS "

High prices for timothy seed are
predicted as more of the acreage than
usual is being cut for hay this year.
Reports from the continent indicate
the foreign crop of clover seed will
provide a fair surplus to be marketed
here. Canada will have a short crop
and will probably be in the market for

foreign seed.
FEEDS

Consumptive demand for feeds has
failed to improve as rapidly as ex-
pected, and with wheat prices irregu-
lar, the market on feeds has eased
off. Higher prices are still in pros-
pect, however, when the fall demand

appears.
HAY

Harvesting of timothy and prairie
hays progressed rapidly during the
period of hot dry weather which pre-
vailed throughout the country re-
cently, but the movement of new hay
to market continues of only moderate
size. Pastures are suffering from
drought in many sections where de-
mand for hay is active. The market
continues generally firm at unchanged
prices, although it may weaken if the
movement of new hay becomes heavy.

POULTRY AND £665

The egg market made a false move
toward higher prices last week but
settled back as receipts continued of
liberal proportions. Dealers favor low
prices as a- means of keeping eggs
moving into consumption on a broad
scale. Quality is on the downgrade
so that eggs are less freely stored
and daily receipts must be absorbed
chiefly by the consumptive demand.
Trade is largely on a hand to mouth
basis and will continue in this way
so long as current production holds
up.

BUTTER - r

The butter market. wasnot able to
maintain the advance which was
scored last week when hot weather
threatened to cut into production.
Prices declined abruptly to the low
point of the season when supplies at
leading markets continued plentiful.
The market has already recovered in
part from the decline, however, and
is not expected to recede much below
the present level. Pastures continue
dry throughout large areas and milk
production is decreasing rapidly. With

'a short feed .crop and probable high

prices, farmers will not be inclined
to feed heavily, so that fall butter pro-
duction will not be burdensome. Con-
sumption. has undoubtedly been en-
couraged‘ by the relatively low prices
for butter. On the other, hand, the
surplusin storage holdings has been
further increased during July and
holdings on August 1 are likely to set
a new high record for that date.
These liberal reserve stocks will act
as a check on any advancing tenden-
cies, but the low point in butter prices
has probably been seen.

POTATOES

With carlot shipments of potatoes
running considerably larger than at
this time a year ago, the market is.

markets and at shippingpoints con-
tinue to decline. Growers’ in several

“The bureau economists suggest that

it is in such cases where future de-
velopments can be fairly well fore-
seen that farmers can exact some

FARM PRICES CHANGE.

HEN farm prices of July 15am
' compared with similar prices
a year ago, the bureau special-
ists find that with the exception of
hay and potatoes, prices of farm crops
declined from 8 to 9 per cent With
wheat, to 3 per cent for corn and 34
per cent wi cotton. The farm price
of beef ‘cattle, lambs, sheep and
horses are at about the same levels
as a year ago. Hogs are 5 per cent
higher, veal calves 9 per cent and
milk cows 15 per cent above last year.
The farm price of eggs is 11 per cent
off and wool 19 per cent lower than
last year. '

INDORSE WORLD WOOL
STATISTICS.

HE General Assembly of the I

ternational Institute of Agricu-

ture at Rome endorsed the pro—
posed extension of world wool statis-
tics. Various governments and associa-
tions representing the interests of
wool producers in each country will
be asked to take such steps as are re-

quired for the collection of the data

on production, trade stocks and con-
sumption of wool, which when com-\
piled will be published and given outi
to those‘interested in the production“
and handling of wool and manufacture
of woolen fabrics.

DAIRY PRODUCTION HEAVY.

DAIRY production continues heavy
but is not equal to same time last

year. .In some respects the butter
situation is of unusual interest. Stor—
age holdings were 86,900,000 pounds
on July 1, which amount is 23,000,000
pounds greater than the July 1 stocks
of a year ago. Reports indicate that
the July increase will exceed that of
July, 1925.

VETERINARY.

Cream Won’t Button—I feed a cow
of mine cornstalks, hay, straw and
ground oats and corn, but cannot make
butter from her milk. Mrs. F.’ H.—
Cream from cows near the end of the
lactation period will not butter as a
rule. Then again, certain bacteria

which gain entrance to the milk from '

dust and dirt in the barn is a cause,
or feeding moldy or spoiled feed.
Check up on your feeds, and discon-
tinuéetthose that are in any way dam-
age .

Blind Mare.~—I have a mare eight
years old who went blind in first one
eye and then the other. There is no
soreness or discharge, but the eyes
are coated. She has never had any
trouble with her eyes. She is high-
strung. She has been bitten by her
mate, but never been marked by him.
Is there a cure?—J. M. V.—~If cornea
is coated, some benefit may be de-
rived from blowing a little calomel
over the surface of the eye, otherwxse
it is doubtful if there is any cure.
