Clean, Vital Seed, Free of all Weed Seed,

is a Big Factor in Good Crops





- A way has been perfected whereby any farmer

can clean his own seeds at a cost of three or four cents

per bushel in 10 or 15 minutes of time.



This method consists of the use of a specially

treated sodium carbonate, water, the family wash tub,

and a piece of cheesecloth.



There are 1200 known different kinds of weeds,

and over 1100 of these weigh less than the maJority of

good seeds, Timothy and Oats excepted. Therefore by

adding the sodium carbonate to water the grav1ty_of

the water is sufl‘iciently increased to drlve the majority

of the weed seeds, seeds of low vitahty whlch means

poor germination, broken, immature seeds, screenings

and other impurities to the to of the solution where

they can be skimmed off and estroyed.



The good seeds will go to the bottom, restin on

the cheesecloth, where they can be lifted out an air

dried sufliciently in about one hour’s time In normal

weather so they will not stick in the seeding machlne.



Seeds should be cleaned in the manner described,

about one or two days before planting, as germination

tests have proven that the good seeds immersedm th1s

solution have increased their germination qualities ma—

terially.





Co-Ops Will Stock Seed-Kleen





Arrangements have been made with the various

farm co—operative compames 1n the state to handle





Seed-Kleen in 50 pound packages, for resale to the





farmers at $3.00 per 50 pound package, which with

ordinary care should enable the farmer to clean 100

bushels of seed.



The time is so short between now and this fall’s

planting that it will be necessary for the farmers who

wish to clean their seeds to co-operate With their local

co-operative organizations to the extent of e1ther plac-

ing their order for Seed-Kleen by hone or when 1n

town drop into the co-operative o ce personally, at

which time if so desired a demonstration can be made

of how seeds can be cleaned. However, full instruc-



' tions of how to clean seeds will go with each 50 pound

package of Seed-Kleen.



The endorsements of various Farm Organizations

of the state follow:

some time ago by the Federal Bureau

of Agricultural Economics cooperating

with the Michigan Agricultural Col-

lege, is progressing satisfactorily.

The bureau is represented by Nils H.

ALEM seems to be. apopular name

for American towns, all the way

from Salem, Mass, to Salem, Ore-



.gon. Michigan, too has a Salem, a-

village situated between Detroit and

Ann Arbor. Salem, Michigan finds it-

‘self a subject of popular interest be-

cause its people recently figured in a

very successful venture in rural ’re-

creation. ~



The word Salem denotes a place of

peace, but the village belied its name.

The‘ Farm. Bureau has done much in

the community to bring the farmers

together, and help them to think to-

gether on rural problems, but on mat-

ters political and religious, there was

some bitter feeling.



One day last year, "while in charge

of the Boy Scouts in their camp, Rev.

J. J. Halliday dreamed a dream. He

saw the boys benefited by tenting, eat-





‘ing, swimming, playing, and /studying





together. With eyes and mind wide

open—for he is that kind .of dreamer

——he dreamed of a‘camp where the

Salem people could live and play and

study together, and thereby learn to

think together.





When a red blooded man gets a vi-

sion of service, he is sure to act.

Running true to form, Rev. Halliday

bought—or to be more explicit, se-

cured on trust—a large aeroplane tent._

Then he commenced to talk camp. He

is pastor of the Federated Church

(Methodist-Baptist) of Salem, and he

talked camp to his people. He worked

with’ the Farm Bureau, and talked

with that organization, securing their

cooperation in furnishing speakers

and workers. He talked community

camp with Rev. Lucia M. Stroh,

pastor of the Congregational Churches

~There are some millions of acres

What is the matter with this land

These are questions which every

owner of land Which cannot be de—

should ask, and to which he should

find a practical answer.

at Salem and Worden. She in turn

aroused the interest of her people in

the project. ,



Next he lined up Rev. Thomas

Pryor of the Methodist Church at

Whitmore Lake.- Rev. Pryor is a

splendidly educated young man, and

experienced camper, and was placed

in charge of the Boy Scouts. This

was a happy choice, because Rev.

Pryor is, by temperament and train-

ing, a “good scout” as the boys affec-

tionately dubbed him.



Mrs. Irwin Johnson, of South Lyons,

was chosen by the Farm Bureau to in-

struct the women in sewing and

housekeeping. Mrs. Johnson and Mrs.

Halliday were in charge of the girls.

The latter mothered them while Mrs.

Johnson taught them basketry and

flower—making.

The dream became a reality when

the Salem Community Camp was es-

tablished at Fonda Lake, near the

’Michigan State Park at Island Lake

from July 21st to July 29th.





The big tent was made into a dorm~

itory for the women and girls, while

men and boys slept in pup and army

tents. The kitchen was in charge of

two expert colored cooks. Reveille on

the bugle brought the camp to life in

the morning. Many went for a swim

before breakfast. The meals served

were so appetizing that, long before

mess call, a lengthy line of hungry

campers waited, each with his own

plate, cup and silver. After being

served, one could seat himself at the

tables under the trees, or join groups

in the tent, or picnic in the woods.





A typical breakfast consisted of oat-

color, while the corn in her adjacent

field was badly rolled and lacked the

essential appearance of vigor which is

essential to a good crop. She decided

to look for the reason and very sen-

sibly asked her neighbor about it.

His reply did not at first enlighten

her much. When asked why his corn

looked so much better than hers, he

said, “Why I have a sponge buried

under mine.” “What 'do you mean

‘sponge?’ ” she asked. He then, ex-y

plained that hehad plowed down a

good stand of alfalfa for his corn, and

that the decaying vegetable matter in

the soil acted like a sponge in holding

the soil moisture, with plant food in

solution, for the nae of the growing

corn.





The lady saw the point and it is a

point which every farmer must see if

he has unproductive acres which he

would make profitable. Our glacial

soils all need to. have the “sponge”- in

them frequently replenished. This is





” artlcularl-y true of the sandy s6ils'





in It need the sponge to hold (the





equally true of the clay soils which

need the “sponge” to aid the percola-

tion of water through them.



Plants take their nourishment in

liquid form, and it is just as impos-

sible to grow a good crop without a

normal regulation of available soil

moisture, as it would be to have a fat

baby with an empty nursing bottle, or

a live and healthy one if kept in a

vat of milk.



The answer is more leguminous

crops, preferably clover, alfalfa, or

sweet clover. The beauty of this solu-

tion is that it adds plant food as well

as the needed “sponge” to the soil,

thus increasing its productivity two-

fold.



In practically every case where

good crops are the rule, these legu-

minous " crops are the reason. They

take the gamble out of crop produc-

tion to a. very large. extent. The man

and took care of his own mess kit,

this cutting the cost of meals.



One of the best liked dinners was a.

“mulligan” made with veal and plenty

of vegetables, followed by warm apple

sauce and brown bread and good cof-

fee.



Soon after breakfast, assembly was _

sounded and the women gathered

in the tent. for Bible study and devo-

tion under the leadership of Mrs.

Stroh. The boys and girls led by the

Rev. Cora. M. Pennell, had their wor-

ship on a hill side or near the lake

shore. Emphasis was placed on the

out—of—door teachings of the Master.

Later in the morning Mrs. Johnson

conducted a class in sewing or study

of home problems. Under the direc~

tion of the Scout Master, nearly all

went for a big swim before dinner.



After dinner the children had

classes and played ball, while the

adults visited with the many friends

who came to spend the afternoon and

evening in the camp. At 4:30 there

was another frolic in the water



A large jolly crowd gathered at

supper—time and mess was never called

programs of an educational nature,

“stunts” and splendid moving pic-

pictures and the expense was taken

care of by free will contributions. Mr.

is that they will not “catch” on the

land that needs them and that “we

can’t afford to put them in condition

rich man but a poor farmer can’t af-

No farmer can afford not to do it. 7

Nature is no respector of persons.

The same laws apply to all. She will

not permit the soil to be "sponged”

in the meaning of the word without

punishment. Nor are her laws in this

respect difficult to obey. I know

farmers who started with no money

except that which they earned for

themselves, some of them with poor .

farms, who have paid for them, pro—

vided well for their families, and laid

by a competence for their old age. In

every case they have made legumin-

In every case their farms have in-

1 ment of Agriculture

Increases income of all of the





farmers of the coun«

try was $412,000,000 more than last

year.



These figures indicate that the

average farm family earned $648 for

labor“ and management, after allow-

ing a fair interest return on the in-

vestment, or $24 more than the pre-

vious year.



This is a healthy sign and indicates

that agriculture is steadily climbing

the hill. During the great unsettle-

ment following the war, farming suf-

fered while industry has been success-

ful. During the war a great demand

for food resulted to feed the armies

and those countries which could not

farm but, when conflict ceased, the

demand for food lessened, and indus-

try sported ahead in its efforts to

make up for the years it lost in war

times. The laborer made good money

both during and after the war.





Prosperity among urban people does

not make much increase in the de-

mand for food products, for people eat

just about so much whether they are

prosperous or not. But when they

have money, they invest in manufac-

tured articles, such as automobiles,

home conveniences, and other things

which add to the pleasures of life.

Undoubtedly the increase in the farm-

_ er’s income has been due to the fact

that farming is being adjusted to con-

sumptive needs. Farm products of

which we have had a plenty are being

oplaced by those of which there is

till a, scarcity. Dairy and poultry

products are still in demand and in

many cases the big one-crop grain

of grains and adding cows to his

Does t e homemakers- of our

Money Go? country and they





spend many billions

of dollars each year in carrying on

their great enterprise. But there is

some question as to whether this great

business is always conducted along

economical lines. H. W. Shaw once

said that “Economy is a. savings bank,

into which we drop pennies and get

dollars in return.” If homemakers

are to receive a measure of profit and

satisfaction fiom this great enterprise

which they are conducting, they must

give consideration to the plans that

big business nds successful.



The development of a plan for

spending the family income to the best

advantage, means not only better

household management, but a. margin

with which to secure worth while

things, and money for labor-saving de-

vices which help the homemaker to

gain time for her children, for self-

improvement, or for community activi—

ties.



All business concerns, from manu-

facturing plants to the United States

Government, have budgets or spend-

ing plans, no different in principle than

the family budget. Some of these have

become quite standardized, but there

is no such thing as a standard house-

hold budget. Each fdrnily must make

its own. First the probable income

for the year must be estimated. The

next step is to list all the knowu needs

of the family and their anticipated

cost. This total must be compared

with the estimated income, and if

necessary, pruned until it is evident

that all expenditures can be taken

care of by the money that will be re-

ceived.



A budget is only a plan for future

spending instead of allowing money

to slip through our fingers in a. hap-

hazard way. If by adopting this

method of accounting, the homemaker

can apportion the family income a. bit

more judiciously in the future and

avoid a few of the mistakes of the

past, it wuold be Worth the effort

and there would be .a greater margin

left with which the family might en-

joy more of the worth while things

of life.

tions being the research departments.





 





In agriCulture there is also an “in-

the experiment star





 





of each and every farm. The success-

ful farmer is he who keeps his mind





in a. state cf inquiry and makes use "





of what the experiment stations and

others have proven which may be of

value to him.



No farm problem should be con-

sidered unsolvable until the best of-

forts of an inquiring mind are applied.





HE question “Are





The rural people more



R l. . religious than those

e 1810.", of the urban centers?”

Rurallst is answered by a re-





cent religious investi-

gation 1’ which ‘ shows that there are

more ministers per capita in the vil-

lages of this country-than in the large

cities.



This is not surprising as there is

stability to small town and rural popu-



‘lation while in the cities there is al-

ways a. large floating population which

gives little attention to religion.

There are just as religious people in

the city as in the country but the per-

centage is greater in the country.



One’s work, or his surroundings,

have much to do with his attitude.

One who likes to work in t e fields,

in God’s open country, is likely also

to get inspiration from religious activ-

ities, while he who sits in an office,

perhaps scheming how to get advan.

tage of the other fellow, is a hypo-

crite if he pretends religion. '



Religion is needed more in the city

than in the country as the relations

between people are more complex, and

the temptation therefore greater to de-

viate from the Golden Rule in dealings

with one another. In the rural sec-

tions one usually goes to church for

religious inspiration while in the city

many may go to increase their ac-

quaintances in order to help business.



The great hope in the city, though,

is that the great successful organiza-

tions have adopted the Golden Rule

as their guide and therefore can be

dealt with confidence.





HERE is consider-





European able contrast be-

vs U S tween the life we live

' ' here and that lived

Standards on the other side of





the Atlantic. Perhaps

the best parallel to be'drawn is that

Europe has the status of the thinker

while America has that of the door.

Here we are likely to do before we

think, and over there they are inclined

to think and then go slow about doing.



Dr. Stafseth, of the bacteriological

department of M. S. C., has just had a.

year of observation on the other side,

and the outstanding thing to him was

the contrast between the apparent

poverty of the European countries and

the liberalness with'which they sup-

port -scientific investigational work.

They use dollars where we use cents

for such purposes and their labora-

tories would put the best of ours to

shame.



One reasdn for this is thgmatter of

taxation. This is a free country

where the common people are ap-

pealed to for political favor. Taxa-

tion is a. political subject, and those

who promise lower taxes to their con-

stituents meet their favor. Therefore,

our taxes are low compared to those

of most countries.



It is estimated that our government

taxes average fifteen dollars per per—

son while in Europe theirs run from

$35 up. Such. taxation by small gov-





populated give them resources to en«

dow fine scientific institutions.

?
INCE 1 was 3"; small child on the

farm in northem 101179., I have

heard, a great deal of Denmark

and during the past" few years so

muCh has been said of Danish butter,

bacon and cooperation that early this

* spring I decided to spend a year in

1 "that eou3try. As a result I am spend-

! ' ing a year visiting with the farmers

in order that a better idea of the act-

,ual methods of production and their

manner of living might be had.

.. ,1 Early in June I left New York di-

rectly for Copenhagen. The less said

about the trip the better. Enough is

it that it is customary for one to pass

through Hades in Order to reach the

Elysian fields and though I was not in

Hades I was slightly sea-sick and as

far as I’m concerned there is little

difference.

, I had no more than slipped___luckily

by the custom officers with my type-

writer and camera when I received my

first impression of Danish life. Ar-

, riving in a strange city the first thing

to impress the traveler is always the





traffic for the minute he arrives he



becomes part of it. As I reached the



. street in Copenhagen I felt as if some-

one had a hand on my collar and was



whispering to me to slow down a



_ little. Yet I began to think that there



' are tlmes when even patience be-

comes a Vice and I thought it rather



r1d1culous when a tax1 dmver never





   





.went over fifteen miles an hour on the

road to the hotel for there was hardly

} .any traffic. But it seems that Danish

, taxi-drivers observe traffic regulations.

5 He held out his hand for both right

and left turns and I noticed that team-

sters and bicycle riders did the same.

’ I have been told later by Bernhardt,

the? hired man, that even wheelbarrow

5 chauffeurs have to follow suit, but I

have no figures to prove it.





Compared to America, cars are few.

The bicycle is the national mode of

transportation and in the morning

when people go to their offices, the

traffic is so crowded with bicycles rid-

den by people all the way from eight

I to eighty years old that it is almost





“1N-” -1”. . _





impossible to cross the street. The

' streets are exceedingly clean in

Copenhagen. Depressingly clean. I

walked around with a handful of

wastepaper in my pocket all forenoon

because I couldn’t find a place dirty

enough so that I could throw it aside

without a guilty- conscience.





0n the farms there are very few

cars although they seem to be in-

creasing rapidly according to ' the

farmers here. The folks who came

to meet me at the station drove a

lively, sorrel horse hitched to a pic-

turesque high-seated buggy. As we

drove along the country road toward

the farm, I was. especially impressed

with the way in which those we met

. tipped their hats to the driver who in

1. turn Waved his whip cordially to them.

Everyone we met greeted the driver

in some way and it produced a pleas-

' ant atmosphere with everyone seem-

ing so friendly.

' Finally we drove up into the old

cobblestone courtyard and while

Bernhardt, the hired man, unhitched

the horse, I took advantage of the op-

‘ portunity to look around a little. I

‘ 1 was rather surprised to find that the

.that would make an American—antique





collector green with envy. While eat-

ing dinner I was informed that I





might help with the; haying in the-





afternoon and I eagerly accepted the

invitation for, after having traveled a

while, working clothes feel mighty





good. As soon as the meal was fins "





ished, I was ready to go to work, but

again found that I would have to slow

down a little. The Danish farmer

takes a nap for an hour after dinner

and being a firm believer in, “when in





 





Refreshments are served between





loads when-hay is being hauled

in. The big mug is, of course,

out of date in America, but in

Denmark it is still popular.





Rome do as the Romans,” I followed

suit. I didn’t sleep much but I

shouldn’t be surprised if I learn be-

fore the summer is far gone. But at

one-thirty we were ready to go after

we had been served coffee and cake

in the garden, but before I left the

house, Bernhardt, the hired man,

brought me a pair of wooden shoes to

wear in the field. Still wanting to be

in style, I took. them and I was

greatly surprised to find them as com-





fortable and as cool as they really are. ,





When I came out into the courtyard

the team was already hitched to the

hay-rack, which looked as if it might

hold five or six good fork-fulls and we

drove to the field where long rows of

tiny stacks awaited us. Two of us

pitched the hay while Bernhardt

loaded it on the rack and by the time

we had six stacks lo ided we had a

load. that was about 11 the horses

could pull. At the barn we unloaded

by hand, one man pitching from the

hay rack while two of us managed to

keep it away from the door in the hay-

loft.





On one occasion I picked up the

lines and drove the team to the field

but when I wanted them to stop and

yelled, “Whoa" they payed about as

much attention to me as a deaf man

pays to a radio concert. It had never

entered my mind that any horse broke

to drive couldn't understand the Eng-

lish language, but I wasn’t long in

learning that I must say, “Prrrrr” to

get results. I’m becoming quite apt

at rolling my tongue by now and

when I "Prrrrr," the horses stop, us-

ually.



At' six o’clock sharp we unhitched

the team and after feeding them we

were done forlthe day, for a special

hired man, known as the feed-master,

does the chores, and takes care of the

milking. Being a feed-master on a

right to do as the attorney advised

me, mainly to build my half of the

tecting me from my neighbor’s inter—

The' fact the fence has stood

upon the specified place for 15 years

does not absolutely determine the

boundary; but there is a presumption

that it was placed there with the in-

tention or marking the line; and if

possession has been held up to this

fence with claim of title to that point

by each party for 15 years title by

adverse possession has been acquired,

and the true line is no longer mate-

rial. Line fence disputes are fertile

sources of litigation and bad feeling,

and are usually more expensive than

the property involved is worth. The

statement indicates that the amount

, of land involved is less than a quarter

of an acre and if the property is worth

$100.00 an acre, the amount involved

is less than $25.00. It would probably

be better to submit to the situation as

it is or make some financial adjust-

ment than to attempt a law suit.—

tory, today’s Chevrolet IS climbing to new

and spectacular heights of popularity.





A single ride will tell you why!





Into the field of low—pnced cars, today’s

Chevrolet brings exactly the slow—speed

smoothness, exactly the velvet acceler-

ation, exactly the freedom from high-

speed vibration that have been the par-

amount reasons for the buying of mul-

tiple—cylinder cars.





Imagine loafing up a hill 1n a loaded

car—with the motor turning so easily

that you are almost unconscious of its

operation. You can in the smooth

Chevrolet!





Imagine rushing from 10 to 30 miles





. an hour, before your watch ticks ten

times—with never a semblance of labor





on the part of the motor. You can in

the smootthhevrolet!





Imagine being able to drive between

40 and 50 miles an hour, for hour upon

hour at a stretch—in perfect comfort,

entirely free from any sense of excessive

speed. You can in the smooth Chevrolet! »





And, above all, imagine the satisfac-

tion of enjoying such phenomenal per

formance qualities together with the

great economy of operation for which

Chevrolet is everywhere famous. You

do m the smooth Chevrolet!





No matter what type of car you are

accustomed to driving, learn for yourself

the incredible smoothness that IS wino

ning the world to Chevrolet. Arrange to

see and drive the car! Learn how amazo

ingly well this sturdy, durable car is

adapted to suburban and farm use.





Compare the excellence of detail eXo

hibited 1n the coach work of the beautio

Compare its performance abilities on

any basis with- any car you have ever

driven. Try it in traffic—over the hills—-

through clinging mud and sand —-over

the rough country roads.





We sincerely urge you to get a demo

onstration. And we advise you to be preo

pared for a ride the like of which you

never dreamed possible 1n a car that sells

at anywhere near Chevrolet prices.





For that’s exactly what you will discover

This Drill Does Four

1,. Important Jobs

There’s a big advantage in distributing fer-l

tilizer at the same time the seed is planted. Be-





sides the time and labor saved, you get theJ

benefit of early and steady crop development.





, The John Deere-Van Brunt Grain and Fer-

tilizer Drill not only plants and distributes fer-‘

tilizer to the best advantage, but it also pul-

verizes the soil while making the seed furrows,g

and does a thorough job of covering.





The fertilizer feeds can be regulated to dis-,I

tribute any standard fertilizer in any quantity‘

.. per acre from 65 to 1250 pounds. Chain driven. .3



Each wheel drives half the feeds, insuring pos1- ‘

tive and steady operation.





Perfect seed distribution is assured by the Van

Brunt Adjustable Gate Force-Feeds that compel

a steady, even flow of seed under all conditions.

Handle a large variety of seed from alfalfa to

bearded oats. Seed is protected by seed boots

until it reaches the bottom of the furrow.

the Same Fields”, which tells how to make more money

without extra labor or acres, and illustrates the different

GROWING SPINACH.





Will you kindly send me a little ad-

vice on the following subject? Winter

Spinach—What soil is best, what kind

of seed to sow, how much per acre

and when to sow? ..



I have an old strawberry bed I will

plow up and wish to sow winter spin-

ach, but I do not know anything

about the seed or culture, therefore

will be very grateful for any advice

.on same.——L. W. ‘P. -



While almost any good soil will

grow spinach, a well" drained, rich,

sandy loam well supplied with moist-

ure is to be preferred. '



For early spring use the seed should

be sown in late August or early Sep-

tember and the crop heavily mulched

to protect it through the winter.



Seed is sown in drills spaced ten to

twelve inches apart. About fifteen

pounds per acre is generally used.



While formerly it was customary to

use some one of the prickly seeded

winter varieties for fall sowing, many

gardeners now use the Smooth seeded

varieties, particularly the one known

as Victoria. This variety makes a.

thick heavy leaf with, a large rosette.

CABBAGE ’TURNS YELLOW.





What is the cause and remedy for

cabbage burning as we call it, in spots

in the patch on muck land? Plants

seem to be affected first when about

ready to head, leaves commence to

curkfrom outer edge and turn brown

and dry up. Heads seldom harden

when so affected, and are of little

value except for stock feed. A. R. A.



The common cause of cabbage

plants yellowing, curling of leaves,

and failing to head is the cabbage

disease known as “Yellows.” This is

a fungous trouble brought about by a

soil inhabiting organism (Fusarium

conglutinans). No control measure is





‘known aside from the use of the re-





sistant varieties of cabbage. As a re-

sult of work at the Wisconsin and

other stations, cabbage of certain

varieties has been selected which will

give a crop even on infested soil.

For the late cabbage, Wisconsin

Hollander No. 8, which is sold by a

number of seedsmen, is very success-

ful. A kraut type, resistant, all sea-

sons, which is resistant to the Yellows

has been developed and is obtainable

from various seedsmen. Such resist-

ant seed is to be distinguished from

ordinary types of the variety.

Experimental work is under way at





 





 





 





1 ,several stations seeking to develop an





I cabbage of the Copenhagen





type but such is not available for com-

mercial use.



Where growers have plenty of land

suitable for cabbage, rotation is

strongly to be urged, and the use of

fields where the disease has not been

found furnishes the best way of avoid-

ing loss. Care should be taken that

the seed bed is located on clean

ground in cases where plants are





transplanted to the field.





Cabbage yellows is on the increase

in the state and growers soon will

need to utilize the resistant types of

seed. These have been tried in many

sections of the state and have made

good where the proper varieties of re-

sistant seed have been chosen—G. H.

Coons. '

“(if T TOGETHER ”---AND GET!





—By James Edward Hungerford





All the world’s intent on getting

Happiness, success, and fame,

And a lot of folks are fretting

’Cause they do not get the same;

All the efforts are like bubbles,

And explode—and they blame fate,

But the reason for their troubles

ls—they don’t co-operate!





They are overlooking others,



In their frantic search for pelf;

Seldom thinking of their brothers—

All their thoughts intent on self;

They are out to get a living——



Some may starve, but they must eat;

Let the "rich ones” do the giving—

While with others they “compete."





. But, somehow, they fail to “make it”—





One by one, their plans explode;

Wealth is here—they try to take it,

And shift off their pauper’s load;



In their efforts they’re unceasing,

And they battle day and night,



But their burdens are increasing--

All their cherished dreams take flight!





It is time that we were waking



To the fact that we must give;,

Those intent on always taking,

Only see the “l” in live;



If we’ll wisely work with others,

We will win, as sure as fate;



Are you ready? Fall in, brothers!

Here’s the word—“co-operate!”

friend of mine. His paper is always

attacking me.”



“He’s a particular friend of mine

anyhow.”



He looked straight at her. “How

particular, Jin?”



Agfaint wave deepened the color in

her face, but her eyes did not flinch.

“A very particular friend.”



“Just how much does that mean?”



“Shall I look the word up in the dic-

tionary, dad?”



He wagged a forefinger at her.

“You can’t get away like that. What

does this young man mean to you?

What are you going to do with him?”



In five cool words she gave the gen-

tleman from Wyoming the surprise of

his life.



“I’m going to marry him."



“What? Has he asked you?”



“Not yet.”



“But he means to?”



"No. He means not to.”



“Don’t talk riddles to me. 'Does he

think he’s fond of you?”



“Yes, but he feels it his duty to give

me up."



“Why?"



“Partly because of those charges

and partly because. he is too modest

for any earthly use.”



“Well, if he isn’t going to ask you





“ then I’ll have to ask him,” Vir-

ginia finished calmly.



“What!” exploded her father.



“You’re such an ardent suffragist

that I’m becoming emancipated,” she

told him sweetly.



“Talk sense. ' If h

“He was man enough to run the

“i do, and I am reasonable,” she in-

terrupted. “Must I marry to please

mother, just because she has a silly

society bee in her bonnet? She’d like

me to take that washed-out count.

But I’d not marry Feruccio if he were

king of Italy.”



“Of course not, but you must re-

member that your mother is only

looking out for your best interests,

honey.”



“So am I, dad. I know what I want

-——and I’m going to have it.” She

nodded briskly at him, quite in good

temper, but with her mouth set mo-

mentarily to the straightr line that had

come as an inheritance from him.



At this moment Kent~ was an-

nounced. Father and daughter looked

at each other, just a gleam of humor

in the eyes of both.



"I'll see him,” the Senator said.



"I'm going to see him too."



"After I’ve talked with him.”



"Very well, dad.” ' ,



When Kent rose at the sound of

footsteps he was a little surprised to

see Newcome enter the room.



The latter went at his task warily.

He did not want to overplay his hand

by appearing anxious. It,;teok him,ten

minutes to approach hisgsubject, and

when he did reach it, his opening was

blunt. .



“I’ve been thinking, Kent, that—'er—

with those graft charges still hanging

over you it might be better if you

didn’t come up to the house so often.

Personally, I like you. It isn’t that,

but—well, people gossip, you know.”



Lawrence Kent was a nearsighted

» “Quite so,” the editor agreed. “I

but as you say-—" "



Miss Virginia sauntered into the

room. One quick glance went to her

father, another to her caller. Senator

Newcome understood that the warmth

of her greeting to Kent was in the na-

ture of ,a challenge to him.



“I’m sorry you have to leave us,

dad,” she said over her shoulder.

“But of course you musn’t keep the

“If you're going (1 wn the avenue—~”

he suggested to Ke t.



“But he isn’t. Run along, Senator.

You’ll be late, first thing you know.”



Her father retired smiling. For the

moment he was defeated, but he did

not think Kent would call again.



The Senator felt rather cheap about

it. He knew well enough that Kent

was straighter than the men backing

the charges against him, but to please

his wife he had used the franchise

scandal as a weapon.





“Did he make you promise not to call

here?” Virginia demanded quickly as

soon as her father had gone.



The vigor of her attack got past

Kent’s guard. “Not exactly promise.

We agreed it was——best,” he stam-

mered. '



“Fiddlesticks ! ”



.“People talk. When a young lady is

friendly with 'a man under suspi-

cion ” ‘ *



“You’re not guilty, are you?” she

flung at him.



‘(N0.’1 ’ r‘



“But you’re going to act as if you

were. You’re going to hide from your

friends and hang your head.”



“Not exactly that,” he winced.



“You give me a pain, Lawrence

Kent,” she snapped. “You let any—

body put you down. Why don’t you hit

back 1’”



“I think I do in general, but you

don’t want me to hit your father, do

you?”



“You’re not coming to .see me any

more then?” »



“Not at present, I think. In point

of fact I’m going back to Wyoming

twithin the week.”





 





“Very well. I can’t beg you .to

game.” She stood aside. “Good day,

Mr. Kent.”





He took a step or two toward the

door, then looked at her with dumb

misery in his eyes. He held out his

hand. ,



“Goodby.”





Virginia's fingers closed on his.

She could not let him go out of her

life. Moreover, her .heart was very

tender toward him. It was already

clear to her that she would havegto

be a mother as well as a wife to him.



“Before you go. hadn't you

better. ask me to marry you?”



His eyes flew to hers in amazement.

She had released his hand hurriedly

and was staring at a Billikins paper-

weight she had picked up from the

mantel. There was a little flush on

her cheeks, but‘no external signs to

show how her heart washammering.



"Did you say. . . ? Do you mean.

HAT recollections \do the ten

commandments bring to your

, , mind? Sitting in a corner and

i ' learning them, and then reciting them

' ' .- .to a parent The young people in one

‘of the schools of Cincinnati will have

no such recollections. Recently the

Ten Commandments were placed in 81

. ‘ rooms of the Cincinnati schools by the

“ Young Men’s Bible Society of that

’ city. In one high school in the sub-

urbs, which probably means that the

l , young folks there represent the best

type of homes tram the standpoint of

. money and culture, less than 400 of

the 2,000 pupils had any previous

knowledge of the Ten Commandments.

So beneficial was the result of placing

these charts in the rooms that

’ ' members of the

s c h o 01 b o a r d

wrote, asking

that more of

them be hung in

the school rooms

of the city.

The Decalogue

(to give the Com-

. W» mandments their

" briefer name) originated in a place

: that would lend solemnity to» their

meaning. Mount Sinai is described as

“a wild and awful solitude. The si-

lence is terrifying. The only sounds

that break the stillness are the artil-

leries of thunder when storms battle

around its summit. This mass of rock

out‘in the desert far from the centres

of civilization, like a solitary isle in

the ocean, is one of the most famous

and sacred mountains on the globe.”





’ ‘ It may almost be said that on this

mountain the Bible‘was born. That

is, the germ of the teaching in the

Bible is in the Decalogue. It would

be hard to imagine the 'Good Book

without some such core, as is found

here. Much of the law found on our

4 statute books is taken from the laws

of Moses. To get them in the mind

in childhood is a good mental exercise,

and they are like an anchor to‘the

soul later in life. The fact that these

2 moral principles are phrased in nega-

tive form, “Thou shalt not,” several

times, has made them forbidding in

the eyes of many modern folk. Christ

made His moral teachings in the sim-

pler direct form, without the “nots.”

But nevertheless the Decalogue re-

mains as a most wholesome guiding

force in the life of any one who will

enrich his heart and fortify his mind

with it. ‘One cannot expect a code of

lav’vs given in the twilight of human

g, history to be as complete as those that

come long after. And yet how much

higher are these, than miles of the

mottoes and slogans of our time!

_ Where did Moses get the Deca-

logue? By inspiration from God, you

reply. Very correct. but God always,

at least as far as we can observe,

, uses means already at. hand to fulfill

l His purposes. And it looks very much

as though Moses found laws already

in existence which he adapted and

whose teachings were exalted and

purified by the Spirit of God. In 1901

French excavators ‘at Susa made a

startling find. This was the code of

laws of King Hammurabi, who lived

about 2100 B. 0., thus being some lit-

tle time before Moses, or about cen-



, temporary with Abraham.

"these laws are strikingly similar to

those we find in Exodus, and, as said

before, they must have been framed



‘ before the time of Moses. Here are a

few examples. Hammurabi: “If a

man hath [caused'theloss of another’s

eye,.rthen> some one shall cause ;.his

eye to be lost If he hath broken

a man’s servant, the owner shall pay

one-third of a mina of silver.” ,

Which means that there existed be-

fore Moses time a code of laws that

was useful, although rough and idola-

trous; that Moses was directed by the

Spirit of the one God to use this code

insofar as it could be used for moral

qurposes; and that it was cleansed of

its grosser and pagan elements and

made fit for a people who worshipped,

not many gods, but the one supreme

. cheap ones,





 





DON’ T think Jennie will ever be a

well dressed woman. She could

have bought two good looking





. dresses and she took the money and





got six, two dollar ones.” The speaker

had attracted my attention in a

crowd because of the quiet elegance

of her attire, and perhaps this was one

reason her words addressed to a. com-

panion caught my questioning atten-

tion. A moment later the two were

drifting away from me, and I never

expect to see either again, yet I shall

remember “six, two dollar ones.”



Isn’t that what a lot of us are doing

to our sorrow? Calling ourselves eco—

nomical when we are really failing to

get the most for our money.





Last fall I felt that I could not of-

ford a pair of kid gloves. Now I find

that I have had three pairs of cloth

suede at a cost of three dollars and

forty cents and have none on hand

for next winter. Had I purchased the

kid ones, I would have spent no more

money, would have had the satisfac—

tion that comes of a good-looking pair

of gloves, and they would have been

so well taken care of that they would

have been in good shape for common

wear next season.





Quality Speaks Louder Than Quantity.



It’s the same with shoes. A good

pair is well taken care of, put on the

shoe horns at night, wiped off occa-

sionally with oil if of patent leather,

and cleaned if of light suede. One

pair gives the wear of three or four

that are neglected be-

cause, in the owner’s mind, there is

always the thought “They didn’t cost

much anyhow.” A good dress and a

good coat, once in two or even three

years, costs no more than the cheap

ones bought every season. Stop and

think. Are the really well-dressed

women of your acquaintance, the





.wonien who follow every latest fash-





ion fad, developed in cheap materials,

or the ones who get really good gar-

ments, but change less often, although

keeping in the general fashion trend,

with long skirts when long ones are

worn and shorter ones when knee

length is the rule? , Whose sleeves are

of right shape, even though she pays

a good tailor three or four dollars to

remodel them, who keeps well dressed





,because of the care she takes of her

' clothes?





Penny Wisdom Not Always Wise.



Out of the dress realm into the

home, the “penny wise” woman is still

a spendthrift. She buys inferior

foods, cooks more than her family

will eat and throws away the re-

mainder, a loss that more than equals

what she gained by lower price. She

never buys what she calls “fancy

goods” and when her children go out

into the world, they feel themselves at

a disadvantage because they have yet

_to learn how and when to eat foods

that their companions have been ac-

customed to all their lives. I once

knew a girl who, martyrlike, swal-

lowed her olive pits, when she ate for

the first time at a friend’s table, be-





-. cause she did not know what else to

DRYING FRUIT UNDER GLASS.





 





SE the sash from the hotbed or



those from a glassed-in porch

when they are not needed in the

warmer months. A large shallow box

of the right dimensions is made tight

enough to exclude flies and other in:

sects. At the ends a large opening is





 





made and covered with screen wire

to provide a free circulation of air.

The sash may be laid on top, or for

greater convenience can be hinged at

the back. Fruit sun-dried in a box

like this will be free from worms,

since the insects cannot get to the

drying fruit to lay their eggs. The

fruit will dry quicker under glass, will

be clean and wholesome and can re-

main out in case of a sudden shower.

Any kind of window sash may be used.

keep perfectly, and when‘the jar Of

beet pickles are opened, there also

are a few pickled eggs. There are

two advantages to this: You may

have the pickled eggs whenever you

want them and on short notice, and





by pickling them in the summer, you‘





use eggs that are low in price, while

the high priced winter eggs may be

marketed. Another advantage is that

eggs that have been pickled and

canned for a time are thoroughly and

uniformly colored clear through. Eggs

may also be pickled and canned the

same way, by themselves, in leftover

pickle juice—Mrs. N. P. D.

I was reminded of this fact most strongly when I visited a mothers'

LISTING CANNED FRUIT.





 





T the beginning of the canning

season, I tack a heavy ruled sheet

of white paper on the door 011 my

fruit closet and fasten a lead pencil to

a stout string on a nail above. With

this‘l keep track of every can of fruit

that is put in or taken out of my

cellar.

I ~ Cherries, currants, peaches, etc., are

.. listed in the order of their appearance,

I each one on a separate line, followed I

by short perpendicular marks to rep- w ' II I. ----

resent the number of cans. ' ’

When winter comes and the start is

made on the supply, I check off each

can used. In this way a constant in-

ventory is kept on all canned goods.

This list has saved both time and

temper. ,You know how provoking it

is to fumble about in the dark for a

I desired product only to find it gone.

Menus are varied to suit the state of

my larder. If tomatoes are running

low I use more kraut or some form of

Dear Uncle Frank:



I was in the boys’ and girls’ club

work last year and am this year. I

was a first-year canner. I had to ex-

hibit my canned goods at the fair and

I won seven first premiums and four

second premiums, in all, my prizes

amounted to seven dollars and ninety

cents. I was also chosen county

champion of Calhoun for first year

work. I won a trip to East Lansing

for a week last July at the M. S. C.

There were others who went from

Calhoun and other counties, in all

there was about three hundred there.

We sure had a good time. Well, I

must close. I hope this letter doesn’t

go to the friendly waste paper basket.

I am glad to know of your club

activities and your success in them.

Club work is certainly a fine thing. I

wish every boy and girl would become

interested in it.

had intended, but I’m here again just

The letter with the picture is a. blow "

to us, poor fellers. It’s nearly impos-

sible to keep up. Anyway, we boys

can’t find space in “Our Page.”



The boys get too many knocks for

the letters they write. That I suppose

scares them out. I know I can’t write

as good a letter as the “Weaker Sex”

can, neither can I draw, tell jokes or





dance. I don’t know what should be

done to a person like me. Hints are

accepted.-——Phelix Plekes, Jr., Foun-





tain, Mich.



It looks as if you would have to ac-

quire some accomplishments. Per—

haps you have some that you haven’t

told about. There are many who can-

not joke or dance, but can do other

things more worth while.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I have written to you once before,

but did not see my letter anymore, I

wonder what you do with the letters

anyway, keep them for love letters, the

(ones you get from girls? I bet you



0.



I suppose you did not receive

enough love letters from your wife to

fill your letter box. Say, Uncle Frank

are you against “Flappers”? I’m not, I

likle them. It’s because I’m one my-

se .



People think just because a girl is

a flapper that’s all she is, but they’re

mistaken. Even though I am a flap-

per, I can cook, bake and clean house

just like any ordinary girl can do, and

there are other fiappers who can do

the same.



I’ll bet anything that if you had to

grow young once more and was ready

to get married, you would take an up-

to—date girl, one that smokes and

drinks, dances, or does anything what

a flapper does and I’ll bet your sweet

life you would take one of the pretti-

est looking flapper you can get, ain’t I .

right?



Well, I suppose that I am taking too

much room. I once had.my. right

name given to you, but I W111 sign my

name as—A Farmer’s Flapper Daugh-

ter. '



You “ain’t” right on some things.

Of course, I like pretty girls, most

folks do, but if a girl tries to 'get by

on her beauty alone, she wouldn’t get

very far with me. She would need

to have some of the wholesome quali-

ties that make good people. I cer-

tainly would not pick a girl who

smokes or drinks because I do neither

myself. Both are harmful to the indi-

vidual, either man' or woman. Please

do not get the idea that doing vulgar

and harmful things will get man to

POULTRY MEN MEET.





 





THE Michigan Poultry Improvement

Association, ‘the Outstanding or-

'ganization in the state for the better-

ment of the poultry industry, held a

meeting at the Larro Research Farm,

18' miles from DetrOit, on Aug. 12th.



Despite the threatening weather,

seVeral hundred poultry enthusiasts

gathered to hear Profs. Card and Staf-

seth, of M. S. C. talk on poultry sub-

jects, and to inspect the fine farm

which .is devoted entirely to experi-

menting on feeds and their effect on

hens and cattle.





Prof. Card spoke of the work of the

association and the need for an organ-

ized effort on the part of the poultry

men to get what is due them in ex-

perimental work at the college. The

State Horticultural Society has been

able to" get appropriations fer build-

ings and experimental work which

the unorganized poultrymen have not.

He hoped that Poultry Improvement

Association would intime be able to

agricultural

organization have.





Prof. Stafseth, told of his year so-

journ in Europe from which he has

just returned. The thoroughness of

research work in most all European

countries, especially Germany and Bel-

gium made a great impression on him.



The Larro Research Farm is a thor—

oughly scientific proposition. There

are prObably more poultry tests car-

ried on there than at the college. The

farm activities are entirely. devoid of

commercialism, but the entire efforts

of Mr. Schroeder and the other scien-

tists in charge of the work seem to

be directed to finding out what will

increase poultry and dairy efficiency.





. It will be worth the efforts of anyone





interested in poultry to visit this farm.





TO CONTROL MITES.





 





I SPRAY my hen coop with strong



lime-sulphur, the same that is used

for trees, every time I clean the coop.

In winter, I use a great deal of dry

hydrated lime and sulphur in their

dust bath and mix, it into coal ashes,

and then I throw it around under the

roosts and wherever the hens sit. I

find that it gets rid of the mites and,

also, keeps the flock free from disease.



Be sure to spray the coop with lime

sulphur the first thing in the spring

and the last thing in the fall—Mrs.

A. R. F.





 





 





WOULD IMPROVE POULTRY CER-

TlFlCATlON WORK.



A NATIONAL conference on. ac:



creditation and certification work

in poultry was held under the auspices

of the Bureau of Animal Industry at

West Baden, Indiana, August 2. All

states were invited to send delegates,

the aim being to bring about greater

uniformity‘ in state rules governing

the work. The general purpose of ac-

creditation is to improve the quality

of breeding flocks so as to obtain bet-

ter chicks, while the certification is

designed to bring improvements in

egg production.

' there" is trouble with blood clots on





the yolks. City buyers may think that

the clot is due to the fact that the

egg has undergone the first stages of

incubation and misjudge the efforts of'

the poultryman to sell a high class

product. Bloody eggs are the result

of a ruptured'blood vessel and not

due to the same conditions as the

small clots which may become at-

tached to the yolk as it passes 'through

the oviduct.





 





 





RURAL HEALTH

By Dr. C. H. Lerrigv





 





 





HYDROPHOBIA.





 





AD dog! Mad dog! My memory



runs back to a hot summer day

in a little country town thirty years

ago. I was a youngster, my heart

filled with an almost paralyzing ter-

ror that I vainly tried to subdue. Men

with pitchforks, clubs and guns raised

clouds of dust as they ran wildly after

the poor shrinking beast for whom

my sympathy almost overcame my

terror. In those days the only thing

to do with one who was bitten by a

mad dog was to go at once to the

Pasteur Institute at Chicago for treat-

ment.





The medical profession now knows

a little more about hydrophobia (the

medical ‘name for which is rabies)

but not very much. We do know that

the disease can be iven to human

beings and that even the lick of the

tongue of a rabid animal coming in

contact with a slight scratch or any

abraided surface may be enough to

convey the disease.



We cannot cure rabies, yet the di-

sease need never be fatal if the victim

of the bite knows that it comes from

a rabid animal. The Pasteur vaccine

is an absolute preventive. It works

quicker than the disease and if ad-

ministered with any degree of prompt-

ness will head it off. Thus vaccine

may be obtained through any good

doctor and he can give it to you at

your home. It is no longer necessary

to leave home in order to get treat-

ment. A





The important thing, if bitten by a

suspected dog, is to ascertain if he is

really rabid. The very best way to

find this out is to” catch the dog and

tie him up, where he can harm no one,

for a.period of three weeks. If he is

rabid, he will show definite symptoms

in ten days. If he keeps well ten days

your fears are relieved, though it is

just as well to keep him tied up the

full three weeks. This is infinitely

better than killing the dog at sight

and thus opening up weeks of sus-

pense and anxiety.



Another reasonable, plan is to pass

an ordinance compelling owners of

dogs to have them immunized against

rabies. This can be done not quite

as readily as having your hogs vaccin-

ated against cholera but nearly so.

The expense -is not great. There is

no harm to the dog and by helping to

make the practice general throughout

the state you will “put an end to one





of the most terrible diseases known to

man. ~

HAVING coon; PASTURE.





 





HAVING good pasture throughout

the entire pasturing season is an

invaluable asset in obtaining a large

uniform milk yield and keeping the

cows in a. healthy working condition.

On most dairy farms after the flush

of the spring pasturing season is over,

and by mid-summer the supply 5-is

quite insufficient to meet the require-

ments of the dairy herd.



My experience with summer pasture

at Forest Grove Farm ‘is quite similar

to that on the majority of dairy farms.

I have plenty of pasture well into the

summer season, but along about the

first of July, I notice the supply starts

to decline and unless I plan to help

out the pasture somewhat I soon find

my milk flow gradually growing

smaller. When the season is favor-

able for pasture growth my low land

pasture is very productive, but suffers

greatly like upland pasture if the sea-

son is hot and dry.



I have found it a wonderful help in

having good pasture to guard against

overstocking during the spring

months. Pasture that is grazed too

closely in the spring fails to secure

good root growth, consequently as the

dry weather comes on suffers from

the lack of moisture and food supply.

When possible I manage to keep my

milch cows and growing young stock

on separate pastures thereby affording

the cows the best pasture available.



I make it a practice to give my

pastures a frequent rest during the

summer months. This can be easily

arranged by having two fields to al-

ternate the herd upon. Giving the

pasture a few days rest allows the

grass to get a little start which mate-

rially assists in building up the root

system and resisting the dry weather.

I think too close pasturing places the

grass at a disadvantage when dry

weather comes. I have found it a

good practice to rent pasture for dry

cows and young stock rather than

overstock my pasture for the milk

cows.——Leo C. Reynolds.





WEATH ER AFFECTS DAIRY

BUSINESS.





 





SURVEY of the ice cream indus-



try shows that the cold weather

that prevailed up to the middle of

July was responsible for a. marked

falling off in consumption and pro-

duction of ice cream. At the same

time there has been a considerable in-

crease in the amount of butter in stor-

age. The reductionlin ice cream pro-

duced is held to account for the butter

increase which indicates the close

relationship of ice cream manufactur-

ing and the dairy industry.





JNDIVIDUAL HOG HOUSES MOST

POPULAR.





 





OST hog breeders and experts



now seem to believe that the

one farm building which has declined

in popularity and value is the old cen-

tral hog house. The day has gone

when farmers need a big $1500 to

$2500 hog house to successfully raise

pigs. The little A-type or, twosow

hog house has proved to be warmer

in winter and cooler in summer as

well as more economical t) build and

use. Furthermore, the small move-

able house house fits in the new sys—

tem of raising pigs on clean ground

each year, a system which has put.

these farmers back in the hog busi-

ness after they were forced out of' it





by bull nose, worms, mange, and en— _





terms.





 

 

 





slump in hog prices when the heavy

run of, hogs reach the market, the man

who can save the most pigs per sow

and raise them with the least trouble

and disease is the man who is sure to

make the money within the next

twelve months. Individual A-type

houses are satisfactory winter quar-

ters for sows and small pigs. Clean

ground where hogs have not been for

three or more years is the place to

raise them free from diseases ‘and

worms. Fall sows that'will farrow- in

a. month or six Weeks should be

handled on this system.—I. W. D.





NO CHANGE IN ”FREIGHT TARIFFS

0N DAIRY PRODUCTS.





 





ORTHWESTERN railroads have



been denied an increase in

freight rates on dairy products by the

Interstate Commerce Commission.

“Under the provisions of the Hoch-

Smith resolution," says the" commis-

sion, “we are required to give partic-

ular consideration to- the establish-

ment of a rate structure under which

the products of agriculture shall freely

move.” It was argued that the pro-

posed increase would injure the busi-

ness of the centralizer creameries.





THE DEEP SETTING SYSTEM.





 





Could you give us any information

concerning a double can creamer?

There are two cans, one inside the

other, the inside one being for cream

and the other for water. We have a

flowing well and could have water

running in all the time. Do you think

it would be advisable for us to secure

this kind of a can? Does it skim

fairly clean?——~L. R. Evart.





The double can creamer that you

referred to, I take it, is best described

under the term that we know as deep

setting method of separating cream.

There are several supply houses still

handling these water separators.

However, it is a question for you to

decide as to whether or not you want

a separator of .this kind. This sys-

tem was in use long before the cen-

trifugal cream separator was brought

into use.



It is a matter of general opinion to—

day that they do not possess the ad-





,. vantages of a centrifugal separator.





Where experiments have been tried

out with this method of separation,

they find that there is from .15 to .4

per cent of butter-fat left in the skim

milk. This is as clean as you can

separate. Oftentimes more than this

amount is left in the skim milk. This

would mean almost half a pound of

butter-fat left in skimming 100 pounds

of milk.

would be'about 20 cents per day that

would be lost. It Would not take long

at this rate to pay the difference in

price between one of these machines

and a hand separator.



Then, too,

more work and, time taken up in the





operation of one of these deep setting





can systems than there ‘would be in

operating and cleaning up a centri-

fugal separator. The centrifugal sep-

arator has been ”improved to such an

extent that when directions are fol-

lowed it is possible to, skim as closely

as’to leave only a trace __of butter-fat

in the skim milk. They have been

known to leave only .01 of a. per cent.

The big day was Sunday, when the

people gathered from surrounding

farms and towns' to worship on a

beautiful wooded hill-side. The short

sermons and the music were in keep-

ing with the open-air service. The

large congregation sang in unison

“Nearer My God to Thee”—-and felt

the presence of their Master who was

“the most of out-of-doors man who

ever lived,"—-fo1- He was born, lived,

worked, and died in the beautiful out-

afternoon was eagerly given over to

an address by Mr. Alfred Bental of





the Farm Bureau. 111 the evening, Mr. .





Frederick Wittich, a brbther of Rev.

Stroh, and field representative for

Moody Bible Institute showed several

reels of moving pictures portraying

the life at the Institute in Chicago.





The Salem Community Camp was a

great adventure in rural recreation

and a trial of practical, liveable re-

ligion. It was successful beyond the

fondest dreams of Mr. Halliday who

conceived it in his vision. It was

successful in that the people learned

to live together, to work, to play and

think together. Formerly unrecog-

nized inlets were discovered in many.

It was successful in that because of

careful supervision, no serious acci-

dents marred the happy days. ‘A'

trained nurse, Mrs. Myra Taylor, took

care of minor ills and bruises.





The camp succeeded financially;

About two thousand meals were





served for twenty-five cents to camp-'





ers, and thirty-five to visitors, while

the meals cost about fourteen cents.

The tent is now paid for, and there





will be a surplus laid away in a com- . .

HE Central Michigan Jersey





 





.. nual picnic Wednesday, August

4 at the/Palmer School, east of

Lakeview or south of Mecosta.



Though at the present time, there

are only about twenty members, there

were about 175 present. If more dairy

men knew of the value of this affair,

there undoubtedly would have been a

much larger crowd. —



A few of the nearby breeders had

some‘of their stock on the ground and



E. Dennison, field man for the

American Jersey Cattle Club, staged

a demonstration showing the good

points of the different animals present,

also telling where they fell short of

being ideal.



County agent E. E. Twing had been

successful in organizing a couple of

calf clubs early in the summer and

rthe Hinton Calf Club had some of

their stock on exhibition. The calves

and yearlings showed by their boy and

girl owners had unusual class and it

was a hard matter for'the judge to

decide, but after careful consideration,

the awards were made as follows:

Faye M. ‘Calkins, first price $4.50;

Howard Stevens, second prize $3.50;

Pearl Eldred, third prize, $3.00.



The three winners in the yearling

class were: Orville Satterly, first

prize $4.50; Ernest Satterly, second

prize $3.50; Keith Rolison third prize

$3.00. Lee Fountain had a fine ten

months old bull there which was

awarded a prize of $3.00. First place

on senior bull calves was awarded 0.

“H. Eldred. Lee Fountain took second

and Guy Rolison third.



Calkins and son had a pure-bred

bull calf there which they had adver-

tised to trade to the person bringing

in the poorest scrub bull of any breed

over four months old. It is quite a

recommendation for the country that

he had to keep the calf. No scrubs

being used apparently.



Majesty’s Golden Lass Kate was

first in aged cow class and she is cer-

tainly a Jersey in every point. But at

that, it was hard to decide between

her and Prince’s Noble Joy. The first

named showing a little more capacity

and ruggedness finally decided the

issue.



If one will consider the blood lines

represented in the different herds and

compare them with the famous ani-

mals of the Jersey breed, it will be

easily demonstrated that the central

Michigan Jersey breeders have noth-

ing to be ashamed of in the way of

breeding.



After dinner County Agent Twing

gave a little talk using the figures

from different contests to show how

much cheaper a Jersey will produce

a pound of butter-fat than any other

breed. '



H. E. Dennison from the A. J. C. C.

closed the program with his talk. He

stressed the importance of close co-

operation among the members work-

ing for the good of the Jersey breed

and not too much stress laid on the

achievements of any one breeder or

herd.



Every-one went away from the pic-

nic vowing they had a great time. \As

.one member expressed it, “As good as

a week at college.” And with the





idea of being present another year to

help make it bigger and better—Roger

M. Carroll.

This Is Sound Reasoning





You know that corn is the best grain for feed-

ing purposes or you would stop growing it.

Every corn grower should feed Corn Gluten Feed

and thereby be loyal to his own business.





Corn Gluten Feed is the protein product of

corn. It is made in the Corn Belt. You can buy

it at a much lower price than other high protein

feeds cost you, therefore, pound for pound, it pro~

duces meat and milk economically and at a profit.





We believe that all good feeding materials

should be fed in the proper way, but all rations should

contain Corn Gluten Feed to insure a better balance of

nutrients, and higher digestibility.





Get This New Book—Free

“The Gospel of Good Feeding” is the name of





our new 64—page book. It gives you the practical ex-



, perience of successful feeders who know that Corn Gluten

Feed makes- the most meat or milk at the lowest cost per

pound.





This book is full of helpful suggestions—all

based on sound and successful feed lot practice. The

twenty—eight rations in this book are making good for

many other feeders and they will make good for you.





Boost your own business by feeding Corn Gluten Feed.





“The Gospel of Good Feeding" will tell you how to do it.

WHEAT





The August 1 official estimate of the

wheat crop was unexpectedly large,

showing 626,000,000 bushels of winter

and 213.000,000 bushels of

wheat, or a total crop of 839,000,000

bushels, which is 72,000,000 bushels

more than was forecast a month ago,

and 173,000,000 bushels more than last

year’s harvest. Based on an estimate

of 630,000,000 bushels for domestic

use, the crop report suggests 209,000,-

000 bushels for export or for building





spring





   





up reserve stacks“. This is enough to

necessitate keeping our prices close to

the world level most of the year.

While wheat prices may be in for a

period of weakness, it is doubtful if

they will go as low as they were at

the end of June, and eventually the

high points reached in the past month

are likely to be surpassed. .





CORN ,





Corn prices advancedto anew high

point for the season on some of the

future deliveries during the past week,

as a result of a bullish official crop

forecast, but weakened decidedly lat—

er. The August 1‘ promise was placed

at 2,577,000,000 bushels, or 84,000,000

bushels less than a month previous,

and 328,000,000 bushels less than last

year. In addition, the crop in Kan-

sas, Nebraska and Missouri has lost

additibnal ground because of drouth

and hot winds. The present outlook

is nearly as bad as on the correspond—

ing date in 1924.





OATS





The oats crop estimate is 1,311,000,-

000 bushels, which is 201,000,000 bush-

els less than last year. New oats are

moving more freely, with primary re~

ceipts twice as large as they were a

week ago and accumulations at term-

inals has started again, with nearly

34,000,000 bushels of old oats carried

over at these points.





‘ BEANS





The bean market has remained un-

changed during the past few weeks,

with C. H. P. whites quoted at $4.15@

4.20 per 100 pounds, sacked, f. o. b.

Michigan shipping points. Growers

and country elevators holding old crop

beans are reluctant to sell at prevail-

ing prices so that market supplies are

not large, but demand is very quiet.

The crop of beans is estimated at 19,-

116,000 bushels, or about 400,000 bush-

els less than last year’s crop, which

was the largest on record. The acre—

age. is more than ten per cent larger

than a year ago, and if growing con-

ditions improve, a larger crop may be





harvested. The crop is at least two

weeks late and will require good

weather until October to insure a





heavy yield. Michigan expects to har-

vest about 5,000,000 bushels of white

beans this year, compared with 7,000,-

000 bushels last year.

new crop sections.

slightly higher than at the opening a

year ago. Timothy seed has declined

under larger offerings and slow de-





mand. - ,

FEEDS



Feed prices have eased off a little

during the past‘week, due chiefly to

the dull demand. Mills are not offer-

and eventually prices are expected to

strengthen: Prospects of a large cot-

ton crop are checking the demand for

cgttogseed meal and prices have de-

c me .





POULTRY AND EGGS





The short supply of strictly fresh

eggs resulted in prices climbing frac-

tionally higher last week. Country col-

lections are undoubtedly lighter and

receipts at the four large markets are

running more than 25 per cent smaller

than. a month ago. An increasing pro-

portion of current receipts is sto'ck

held in the country to take advantage

of the higher late summer market.

Withdrawal of storage eggs has start-

ed earlier than a year ago when addi-

tions to the holdings at the four mar-

kets were made until close to the end

of August. .

BUTTER





The butter market has had another

advance in the past week. The general

scarcity "of really fine high-grade but-

ter was a factor in the stronger tone.

Milk production is steadily decreasing,

as is usual toward the end of the sum-

mer when pastures are on the down-

grade. Receipts of butter at the four

leading markets thus far in August

have been fully 15 per cent smaller

than in the corresponding period a

year ago. Butter continues to move

WOOL





While wool trade has been rather

quiet and spotted in the last tendays,

prices have been firm. Now thatpthe

new clip has mostly left first hands,

dealers are inclined to hold in expec-

tation of improvement in the goods

trade and broader demand from mills

with consequent betterment in wool

prices. Mills are buying for only near—

by requirements, broadest demand be-

ing reported for quarter-blood wools.

The strike situation among clothing

workers in New York City has im-

proved to some extent. The new clip

in the southern hemisphere will begin

to come on the market soon, the Aus-

tralian auction season opening on

August 30.

‘ Help is hard to get.





'from the excessive rains;





 





yielded a lull crop of hay. Wheat

and rye have been cut, but no thresh-

ing done yet; wheat and. rye were

fair crops; b tp oats and barley about

oneafourth cr Alfalfa and sweet

clover will cut a good second crop.

Butter-fat brings

4 0; eggs 2.80 They are about all the

fa mers are selling now. The state is

making a test of the cattle in this

county for T. B. so far it is running

well under one per cent for reactors.

Corn is very poor and about ten or

twellre days late; potatoes look fair.—

E. .





Hilledale County, Aug. 5.———Farmers

are fairly up with their work. Extra

help cannot be secured. Wheat and

rye are not yet threshed; meadows

are looking well; also spring grains.

Hay is a good crop. Many weeds

the condh

tion of live stock is good. Rain has

done much damage to beans—N. A. P.



Clare 00., Aug. 12,—Haying and har-

vesting is nearly done; help has been

scarce; wheat, rye and oats are not

yet threshed. Hay has been good, but

dry weather has been hard on the

meadows since they were cut. Corn

greatly improved, but very late; beans

and potatoes are doing well, but poor

stands. There are less cows and hogs

than usual at this time; fruit is small,

Ruiimfiay increase if rains keep up.—





Presque Isle 00., Aug. 5.——Haying

was just completed with a fair cut;

wheat .harvest is just starting; oats

short not so good; a green louse is

afiecting them. No threshing is

being done yet. There is plenty of

help; meadows are looking good; pas-

ture fair. Dairy business is good, but

there are not many hogs; the live

stock is in splendid condition. There

are lots of cherries; apples are not so

good; berry crop is fine; potatoes are

good, but corn is backward—J. J. R.





Lenawee 0.0., Aug. 11.—Farmers are

getting along with their work. Another

week will about finish the threshing.

Day help is very scarce. New seeding

is badly damaged by dry weather.

Many farmers are reseeding since the

rains. Wheat yields from 25@40

bushels per acre; cats from 30@50

bu. per acre. Early planted corn looks

like a normal crop, but the late corn

about half a crop. Wool about all

sold; a. few clips still in the hands of

the growers. Last prices quoted 38(61)

400. Apples and other fruits injured

by late frosts. —J. R.
