A Different Motor Oil!

A Better Motor Oil!





N extraordinary motor oil——Iso-Vis!

This announcement is important

news for every farmer in the



Middle West. Iso—Vis ends your troubles

from dilution in the crank-case.





The development of Iso-Vis in the re-

search laboratories of the Standard Oil

Company (Indiana) is a long story. A

story of patient study and untiring work.





Iso-Vis was made to meet a new theory

of scientific lubrication. Experts hall

it as the biggest forward step that has

been made in the lubrication of the

automotive engine. A revolutionary

advance!





Iso-Vis is different from any other

motor oil ever made. Iso-Vis is

always of the right body —— that is

the biggest and most important dif-

ference. Never too heavy and never

too light. Always right.





On a cold morning -— after the car

has spent the night in an unheated

garage —— you have no trouble start-

ing. The engine is alert and read .

Iso-Vis is not too heavy for co (1

weather starting. It is just right.





After a thousand miles of motoring

Iso-Vis has not thinned out. It is still

'ust right. Iso-Vis does not lose its



dy or viscosity as other oils do. Did

you know that all other motor oils lose





two-thirds of their lubricating efficiency

before the car has gone 200 miles? That

thinning out—or dilution—has wor-

ried lubricating experts for ears—and

caused the motorist no en of trouble.





Now the Standard Oil Company

(Indiana) has solved the problem of

dilution. The principle is scientific.

Iso-Vis has been refined to the point

Where vapor tension is at e uilibrium.

Iso-Vis maintains a viscosfiy within

the zone of correct lubrication. An-

other‘ way of saying that Iso-Vis is

never too heavy, never too light ——

always right. , ’





The Standard Oil Com any (Indiana)

is glad to announce t is new motor

oil to the farmer of the Middle West,

because it will make his car last longer

and give him greater leasure out of

every motoring mile. t will save him

the worry of dilution troubles and

the repair bills they make necessary.

Iso-Vis costs more per gallon but less

per mile, as you will soon discover.





There are special grades of Iso-Vis

for tractors and trucks which are

equally efficient and Whlch (Will save





' money for the farmer.





Iso-Vis is but one result of the re-

search and endless experiment that

is constantly being carned on by the

Standard Oil Company (Indiana).

hangcs from Cows to Sheep





But this ‘Mdsz‘er Farmer ’Fee/s Muck Im/eéz‘éz/ to f/IE Cow for Hi3 Success

By B. Wcrmuth





HEEP require comparatively little

of the farmer’s time. The most

attention is needed during. lamb-



ing season. While this may interfere

with farm work, it is possible to so

regulate the lambing season, or to so

manage the farm, that the interfer-

ence becomes negligible. Shearing also

comes when the farmer is busy in the

fields, but since this work is usually

done by professionals from outside the

fa1m, it fu1nishes no reason for shying

at the sheep business because it dis-

turbs the field program of a farmer.



Sheep raising interferes. with farm





work so much less than dairying does,





that Frank Kinch, of GrindstOne City,

turned from dairying to sheep raising

back in 1917. In this connection, he

was particular to state, however, that

he has nothing against dairying. “I

am largely indebted to dairying for

my success in farming,” he explained

during a recent interview.



“The reason for quitting the milking

business was that we could not se-

cure help in 1917. We had eighty-five

cows and none other than our own

hands with which to milk them. At

that time it was simply impossible to

get and keep farm help here in Huron‘

county.” Mr. Kinch was one of the

eleven men awarded Master Farmer

medals by the Michigan Farmer at the

Michigan State College last September.



“We carried on the dairy business

somewhat differently than does the av-

erage dairyman. We had ordinary

cows on‘which we used a purebred

Hereford bull. This gave us calves of

feeding quality through which we were

able to dispose of all roughage grown

on the farm, together with additional

hay and grain purchased from outside

the farm. \Naturally, these-cows were

not high producers. But they brought

us a satisfactOry incOme through the

sale of both the milk and the finished

calves.” -n



Although this farm is now in a high

it has not always

father’s





state of fertility,

been so. Previous to his





death, which occurred when Mr. Kinch~





was but twelve years old, one field

on this farm had grown wheat contin-

uously for eleven years, and for five

years thereafter the land was rented,

so’when it came under the manage-

ment of its present owner and his

mother, it was in a badly run con-





 





and keeps in a high state of fertility.

So, when the labor situation made it

impossible to keep cows, he shifted

to sheep.



He now keeps a thousand of them

on his 970 acres of land. Much of this

land-is in excellent permanent pasture.

The farm touches the shores of Lake

Huron, where ample moisture keeps

the grass growing from early spring

ture and Surrounding Landscape Are





dition. “But for the fact that we each

season added a little new ground to

the cultivated area, we ce1tain1y would

have failed to make ends meet,” he

declared.



“It was the dairy business that aid-

ed us to overcome the inertia of poor

soil,” was his comment; and it is the

sheep. business today which enables

this Master Farmer to keep his farm

in a high state of production. His suc-

cess at farming is founded on rich,

healthy soil—not soil that was natur-

ally rich, but soil that he made rich

till fall, with scarcely a break. Graz-

ing is the simplest method of turning

vegetation into animal products. In

the management of this farm, full ad—

vantage is taken of this method of

manufacturing wool and meat.



The farm originally contained 240

acres. But as soon as improved meth-

ods of handling the land began to yield

profits, farm after farm was added,

until at one time it contained over a

thousand acres. But lately the de—

mand for summer resort property has

become so urgent that he has disposed





of Huron shore acreage until now 970





acres of farnr land remains. Mrs. . _

Kinch, who is known over the state : -'

for her services as a speaker, also





possesses 320 acres adjoining the farm

of her husband. She has an excellent

'herd of Hereford cattle and some fine

Oxford sheep.



While Mr. Kinch did not have the

benefit of much shhooling, “I have,” he

says, “been a life—long reader of my

own home state farm weekly, and from

there I early learned the value of leg-

umes.” Now he practices a short roo

tation that not only gives him the bulk





Of the feed needed for his sheep, but’





one that goes far in keeping the soil

highly productive. His rotation con-

sists of spring grains and alfalfa or

sweet clover. The legumes are seeded

with cats or barley. He permits the

alfalfa to stand as long as it produces

well. The sweet clover is used for

hay. He advises cattle men to be care.

ful in the use of sweet clover hay, in-

asmuch as the large stems often con-

tain a mold which destroys the coag-

liability of blood, and then when an

animal is even slightly wounded, it is

impossible to stop the flow of blood

and the animal bleeds to death. But,

thus far, he has found no such detri-

mental results in feeding it to sheep.



“The alfalfa plant,” says Mr. Kinch,

“is the real friend of the sheepman.

Hay from this plant makes the finest

of sheep feeds. Also, it is not expen-

sive to make the necessary feed sup-

plements to keep the animals in the

best of condition and health.”



Spring crops and legumes occupy

about 300 acres of the farm, the re—

mainder being in permanent pasture.

This permanent pasture consists of

some low land along the lake and 400

acres of high land. About 100 acres

are plowed each season for spring

grains. This leaves two-thirds of- the

plow land in legumes constantly, and

CURRENT COMMENT

The farmers have con-

F! d tributed to ups-and-

attene downs of the hog mar-

Cycle ket. A careful study





of the records of sup—

plies and prices over many genera-

tions show a general tendency to re-

strict production when prices are low,

and increase the number of litters

when prices are above the average.

The same tendency obtains in other

lines of production.





This is a- natural human tendency,

and it serves a very uséful economic

purpose. It tends to balance supplies

against demand. But for it we would

find business in a chaotic state. It is

the safety valve for adjusting econom-

ic pressures.





While in the past we have been un-

consciously following thcse trends, we

now have a somewhat better under:

standing of the practical workings of

price cycles. Marketing experiences

of the past five years have impressive-

ly demonstrated to the farmer how

supply influences prices. Now, he is

exceedingly anxious whenever an over-

production is reported in some line of

agricultural activity in which he is

interested.





Betterunderstanding these matters,

he is ready to make adjustments in

his production earlier to avoid the ex-

tremes of prices, as examples will il~

lustrate. Early surveys made by gov-

ernment agents last spring indicated

farmers’ intentions to plant heavily of

potatoes, presumably because of the

high prices paid for the preceding

crop. But, confronted with these re-

ports of intentions to plant heavily,

crop programs were revised, with the

result that less than three per cent

increase over the acreage for 1925 was

planted. This is largely responsible

for another good business year for

years the federal government has been

taking surveys on the preopective

Following the re-

lease of these surveys, producers have,

in a general way, acted upon the facts

presented, thereby helping to prolong

the period of high prices for hogs.

These examples show that farmers

can act to flatten out price cycles the

same as is being done in other organ-

ized lines of business. This tendency

should be further encouraged. Through

the substitution of other crops or ani-

mals for those being excessively pro-

duced, it is possible to do for agricul-

ture some of the things asked pf con-

gress. Such a coordination of crop

programs would prove valuable to both

producer and consumer, and tend to

stabilize general business conditio/ns.

of farm relief are back

in W'ashington prepar-

ing for another fight on relief legisla-

tion. What will be done?



A number of bills are certain to be

considered. A measure embracing the

provisions indorsed by former Gover-

nor Lowden, of Illinois, carrying the

essential features of the McNary-Hau—

gen bill, will be introduced in both

houses early in the session. The Mc-

Kinley-Adkins proposal embracing the

National Grange export debenture plan





will also have an early introduction to _





both houses. Then, too, the cotton

growers want power to establish the

price on theii cash crop, and the Cur-

tis- Aswell bill is still pending in the

house.



The multiplicity of ideas on farm re-

lief was the stumbling block to farm

leaders in the last session of congress,

and it is likely to prove fatal to this

brand of legislation at the present

session. Some think, however, that a.

fair chance exists for some relief leg-

islation being enacted.



Senator Capper believes that the

forces of the west and south will be

stronger than ever for the McNary-

Haugen bill, or some similar plan that

will enable farmers to control and

manage excess supplies of crops at

their own expense so as to secure cost

of production and a reasonable profit.

He thinks more good solid thinking is

being given to the economic problems

of the middle west this fall than in

any former year.



So, again, the subject is a real live

one and should have the careful con-

sideration of farmers generally, and

organized farmers in particular. The

action of congressmen on this legisla-

tion will depend, to no small degree,

upon the attitude of their constitu-

encies back home.

are still full of

Thanksgiving? A friend told us of a.





fellow who put his Thanksgiving to

practical use. As we all know, Thanks-

giving is for the purpose of giving

thanks for the bounty of the year

with which nature has blessed us. This

man, instead of over-feeding himself

as an expression of Thanksgiving, fed

the soil by an application of manure.

He felt that the soil had been good to

him, so in turn he would be good to

the soil. He expressed his apprecia-

tion practically by giving it food. We

venture to say that his kindness will

come back to him a hundred fold.



Perhaps if more of us were appreci-

ative of what the soil did for us under

the conditions it has to contend with,

and would show that appreciation by

kindnesses, we would become more

successful farmers.



Perhaps appreciative farming is one

of the main essentials of successful

farming. At least we believe that our

friend has given a thought worth

pondering over.

state and local taxa-

tion, according to Dr.

F. C. Atkeson, of theNational Grange.



In some cases, the tax equals a fair

rental on the land, thus really making

the owner a tenant of the state on his

own land.



In most cases taxes have doubled,



and in some they have quadrupled.

This has put such a strain on the

farmers that attention should be given

to the matter.

' This is vital. Our’ law~makers should

CCORDING to C.

' W. Larsen, of the

#1110, United States Depart-

ay_ to ment of Agriculture,

Happiness the farm value, in do]

lars and cents, of milk

produced on our farms was greater

than the combined value of the cot—

ton, wheat and potato crops last year.

Dairy products even exceed in value

the entire motor industry or the steel

industry. The value of all the build-

ings erected in all the cities over the

country last year is barely equal to

the dairy products on the farm.



In correlation with these statements,

prominent nutrition specialists tell us

that milk is the most valuable of foods

in the human diet. Of all foods, it is

the one richest in lime, an essential

bone and teeth building material. They

advise that milk shOuld be used liber-

ally in order to replace a part of the

meat'in the average dietary. It is the

cheapest of animal foods, and since

some animal food‘ is necessary, milk

should be the first to be considered.



Japanese anthropologists, who have

long sought a means of enlarging the

stature of the people of Nippon, be-

lieve they have found an answer to

their problem, by the introduction of

milk as a staple food. Health author-

ities, which they recently sent to Amer-

ica, have reported that the lack in

their diet of the bone and teeth build-

ing minerals is a primary contributing

cause for the smallness in stature of

Japanese.



Tennyson said, “It is not the census

or the size of cities or of crops, but





the kind of men a country produces





that counts.” And more milk incorpor-

ated in the average diet is certain to

result in healthier boys and girls, men

and women, and'a happier life in the

home.



It would be a fine thing for the

health of American people if we could

peek into the lunch basket of every

one of our school-going children and

find there a bottle of milk. The use

of an increased amount of milkin the

rural diet would have a tendency to

cut down the grocery bill and make a.

healthier and therefore happier rural

family.





N recent months





Successful representatives of

F , this journal have vis-

armers ited many farms. The

Attitude majo rity of these





farms were being op-

erated by successful farmers. In in-

terviews with these men, a. character—

istic quite common to them was ob-

served. And this quality, which takes

the form of an unsatiated appetite for

practical information, we believe, has

been an important factor in their stic-

cess.



Because of it, good farmers, as a

class, are.ha.rd to interview. They are

not so much interested in what they

know, as in.the things they do not

know, or about which they have some

question. They are everlastingly after

information. From eyery source, high

and low, they have vauired their

And they welcome criticism. You

need not hesitate to criticise these

successful farmers, whether your crit-

icism is well founded or not. As a.

class, they will not get angry at your

finding fault with their work. They

are too big for that. It is the unsuc-

cessful man who takes one to task for

even suggesting that his work is not

perfect. But” the good farmer, the suc—

cessful man, will not only get from

you every word of criticism that you

may have in mind, but he will crave

more. And too often before you are

done, he unconsciously or consciously

has proven to you that you were all

wrong, or, in the same spirit of fair-

ness, he has gotten from you some

new angle upon his problems.



Not only in farming, but in every

walk of life, successful men are those

who have this ability of gleaming from

every corner material which they util-

ize in improving their work and them-

HE potato marketI is already re~

fleeting the strong situation

brought about by another crop





«almost as small as that harvested in





1925‘ Prices began to strengthen early

in August, and. the advancing trend has





.continued,‘ With occasional setbacks.





The high points in the situation are





summarized as follows:





1. On a. per capita basis, the crop

is one of the smallest on record and





is below normal consumptive needs.





‘ 2. Competition from other sources,

such as the sweet potato and Canadi-





‘ an white potato crops, is not expect-





ed to be any 'more serious than a.

year ago.



3. Consumptive demand shows no.

indication of a decrease as a result of

varies. Many consumers undoubtedly





‘curtail their purchases of potatoes





when prices are high, but others need





to buy more because their home garv





dens failed along with the general

crop.



Carlot shipments for the season to

date of 105,197 cars are more than in

the same period last year by under

3,000 cars. Shipments from the: late

crop, states haVe been nearly 4,000

cars smaller than from the same sec-

tions last year, but the early states,

which are practically through now,

shipped 6,687 cars more than a year

ago. ’



Shipments of potatoes usually reach

their peak during late October or early

November. Once the bulk of, the late

any decline in the buying capacity of

the general public.



4. Market action in other years of

short crops justifies the belief in .a

strong winter market for potatoes.



5. Growers arebullish on the situ-

ation and will not sell except at satis-

factory prices.





Warnings against excessive plant—

ings of potatoes last spring, following

the high prices of the previous season

were effective. The acreage planted

to potatoes this year was the smallest

in twenty years, with the exception of

last year, and the increase over 1925

was only 2.1 per cent.





The latest estimate based on condi-

tions on October 1, indicates a crop

of 350,821,000 bushels, compared with

326,000,000 bushels harvested last year,

and an average‘crop for the past five

years of 396,000,000 bushels. More

than half of the increase of 25,000,000

bushels was raised in the early, or





intermediate states from which carlot





shipments are already well completed.





The states which furnish the bulk of





the market supplies from now on have

only about 12,000,000 bushels more





' than last year.’





The average yield per acre for the

entire country is estimated to be 109.6

bushels, compared with'103.9 bushels

last year. This yield has been exceed-

ed only five times since 1900, so that

any change in the final returns is more

likely to be down than up.





Based on the production per capita,





thecrop is below the normal require— ‘





ments. Our estimated population is

117,000,000, so that a, 'crop of 350,000,-

000'bushels of potatoes allows a per





capita censumption of only three bush— ‘.

el-‘s.~ This is another factor of strength .





in the outlook, for without exception, 7

crop has been marketed, particularly

in seasons of short crops, prices have

a better chance to ascend. It is scarce-

ly expected that the spectacular ad-

vances of last season, when the crop

was twenty per cent below normal,

will be repeated, but higher prices

than those, reached thus far this sea-

son appear quite probable.





Growers have increased their stor-

age capacity in many states, and with

most of the farmers bullish on the

price prospects, they will be strong

holders. Sound potatoes free from

frost and disease, stored at present

price levels, which average around

$2.00 per hundred pounds at shipping

points, promise to bring enough more

later in the season to cover cost of

storage and a profit beside.





DEVELOP COMMUNITY SPIRIT IN

KALAMAZOO.





 





HE retail division of the Chamber





of Commerce of Kalamazoo, the '





Business Men’s Bureau, and the Coun-

a five-day Harvest Festival in Kalama-

zoo. John C. Ketchum, member of

congress, and M. P. McPherson, mem-

ber of the State Board of Agriculture,

were tWo of the speakers who address-

the use of modern machinery. This

is the conclusion of the advisory couns ,





‘ cil appointed by Secretary of Agricul- ',





ture Jardine to study the machinery I

The council. finds that too

little attention has been given to re-





search on the farm mechanical equip-





ment by stateand federal experiment

More than $4,000,000,000 is

now invested in farm machinery, and

over $330,000,000 was expended in 1925.

On the average, power and labor

costs of farm crop production make up

about sixty per cent of the total costs.

These facts indicate that even minor

improvements ,in'farm machinery will

result in large savings.





 





CLUB WORK BOOMS.





 





THE total membership in the 4-H

More dem-

onstrations in corn and potato growing,

gardening, food preparation, clothing,

beef, swine, and poultry raising were

given by the boys’ and girls’ clubs

than~ by the similar adult organiza-

tions. The country club agent giving

his or her time to club work enrolled

more than four times as many mem-

bers in 1925 as the county agricultural

agent.



Two boys and two girls from each

state, representing the farm boys’ and

girls’ clubs, will be eligible to attend

a national encampment in Washington

on June 16-22, 1927. Each delegation

will be accompanied by one or more

members of the state extension serviceI

who are in charge of club work.

EGISLATION to control the man-

is one of the subjects being considered

Reports from cheese manufacturers in-

RECOGNIZING the dairy industry



as one of the most important

branches of American agriculture, the

National Grange, in session at Port—

of a tariff on all dairy products suffi-

cient to protect the dairy industry

from foreign competition; also legisla-

tion to prohibithmportations of adul-

terated 0r impure dairy products, and

for suflicient appropriations from the

federal treasury to eradicate animal

diseases, provided the states grant sim-

ilar appropriations. The dairymen

have been receiving the full twelve-

cent a pound tariff benefit on. butter

during the present season, when low

prices abroad have made the Ameri-

can market especially attractive.

TO A'ssuns CHILDREN’S PROP-

snrv.





 





A widow with three children and,

twenty acres of land marries a man

who has nothing at all. After thirty

years they now have a home worth

$15,000. If the wife should die first,

what share would her children 're-

ceive? Husband and wife hold a joint

deed to property. In what we could

this matter be adjusted so t at the

wife’s children would receive the prop-

erty g both husband and wife died?

the death of either spouse passes en-

tirely to the survivor free from any

claim of the @ildren of either. An

agreement made between the husband

and wife and a third person for a con—

sideration named, that upon the death

of_ the survivor the children} should

have the property, and duly acknowl-

edged and witnessed so as to enable it

to be recorded as a deed, would be

effective for this purpose. It would

have the disadvantage of tying the

hands of the ‘owners so as to disable

them to dispose of the property should

they wish to do so. Wills made by

being subject to revocation.~—Rood.

In every large city in the United States the besr theatres

show Paramount Pictures regularly—many of them noth-

ing else. The same thing is true in every small town

where there’s a live theatre and a manager who is alert

to what his people want.





There may have been a time when morion pictures

were so new that the mere announcement of a picture,

regardless of who made it, was enough to bring out a

crowd. Those days are gone forever.





Farm people today are moving picture wise and the

crowds go where the best pictures are, as every live

theatre manager knows. You can’t keep people away

from such Paramount Pictures as Harold Lloyd in 1”For

Heaven’s Sake,” “The Vanishing American,” "The Blind



“ Goddess,” “The Palm Beach Girl,” ”Born to the West,”

and many Others.



It doesn’t make any difference whether the picture

is six weeks old or six months. If you haven’t seen it,

it’s new, and if it’s Paramount it’s good. 7



Ask the theatre you patronize to let you know when

they Show Paramount Pictures, or call up before you go.



-Jf they don’t show them, it’s easy enough to find one

that does, and it’s certainly worth it because Paramount

guarantees a good time.

STERlLlZE SOIL NOW FOR HOT-

BEDS.





 





' HOT~BEDS can be ready for seed-





1ng several weeks earlier in the

spring if the coil is sterilized when

I not frozen.



It is known that plants will grow

more vigorously in any soil that has

been sterilized. Science has been 1111-

able to tell what happens in some of

the sterilization processes that make

plants grow faster, according to E. B.

Tussing, vegetable specialist at the

Ohio State University.



In preparing for large amounts of

soil, thoroughly mix one gallon of for-

maldehyde with 100 gallons of water.

Use one gallon of the prepared mix-

ture to each cubic foot of soil in the

hot-bed. The soil should contain about

the right amount of moisture for plant-

ing at the time it is treated. If the

soil is heavy, it is well to mix the so-

lution by turning the soil and apply-

ing part on each side.





The formaldehyde solution gener-

ates a gas in the soil that acts as the

sterilizer. Cover the soil with paper,

canvas, burlap, or some similar mate-

rial that will prevent the gas escap-

ing. Leave the covers on for several

days so that the gas will have time

to permeate through the entire soil

mass. Plants cannot grow in treated

soil until it has been aired for about

two weeks.





Complete control has been obtained

over the hot—bed disease “damping

off.” This disease rots the seedling

plants off at the surface of the ground.

A pot of soil for house plants may

be effectively sterilized by baking it

in an oven until it has become thor-

oughly hot.





PRUNING AND COLOR ON GRAPES.





 





HAVE just received my copy of



your paper for November 20. You

have an. item on the effect of pruning

on color of grapes on page 526-12. In

View of the fact that you mention my

name in this item, I wish to call your

attention to two half-truths mentioned

in it.



In the first place, the work at the

Barrett vineyard is a fertilizer field

trial and is neither a pruning experi-

ment nor demonstration—this is a

matter of little importance. The last

sentence is the one that is truly a. sad

one. Where did you get this idea?

before fully matured?

ance of the fact that Michigan grapes

grapes grown elsewhere. This is be-

cause of an illusion that Michigan :

grapes are reputed to carry less sugar

——in other words, are more immature.

The State Department of Agriculture,

and some of the cooperatives handling

grapes, put on a small fight to try and

combat this mistaken idea. that Mich-

igan does sell immature grapes.





One of the chief battlegrounds was

"Detroit. Michigan grapes cannot be

sold without a violation of the state

grading law while they are immature.

And now you indirectly tell the world

that “the early coloration is an im-

portant factor ‘when grapes have to be

picked for market before fully matur-

ed,” and the crow seems to roost on

my tree. I object to the use of my

name in such a manner that anybody

would suppose that I recommend or

suggested that immature grapes should

ever be marketed. The idea brought

out at that meeting, and which was

clearly presented in the original ma.-

terial which you condensed so clum-

sily, was that grapes on properly prun-

ed vines mature before grapes on poor-

ly pruned vines—Newton L. Partridge,

Assistant Professor of Horticulture,

Michigan State College,





PROPAGATING PINE AND B'ASS-

WOOD TREES.





 





EEDBEDS (4x12 feet) for both pine



and basswood, should be well-pre-

pared. They should be spaded up, pref-

erably in the fall, and in the spring

the ground should be put into a mel—

low condition, such as you would do

for either lettuce or pansies.





Pine seed can be planted" in the

spring as soon as the frost is out of

the ground, the seed being broadcast— .

ed and pressed into the soil by means

of a flat board. The bed should then

be sprinkled with a quarter to one-

half inch» of clean sand. This is to

prevent damping off. After the seeds

germinate, they will need to be pro-'

tected from the glare of the sun by

lath screens. These screens are pre-l

pared by nailing lath onto frames,

leaving the width of,a lath between

laths. This lath shade should be about

six inches above the level of the seed»

bed. On cloudy days it is best to re-’

move the lath screens. The seedlings

should be watered whenever the sea,—

son becomes excessively dry. The lath"

screens should be removed towards the

end of the summer so as to harden

the seedlings before winter. The sec:

eighty-five bushels. 'Barley harvests





~run from twenty-five to forty bushels





to the acre. Two crops of alfalfa are

regularly harvested, with the annual

yields averaging between three and

four tons to the acre.



Besides feeding all the hay and grain

grown upon his farm, Mr. Kinch also





. purchases additional hay, grain and

concentrates to maintain his flocks.





This provides sufi‘icient manure to cov-

er eighty aeres of land each year.



We asked how he would proceed to

improve a piece of poor soil. To this

question he replied that he would ap-

ply manure to the poorer sections of:

the field, and then grow a crop of

sweet clover. The manure would p10-

mote a good growth of the plant on

the poorer spots. Then the crop would

be plowed down, which, with the ma-

nuie, would go along ways in putting

the average field into profitable pro—

duction. This process could be repeat—

ed where necessary.



When the reader understands that

the ten-hour day is practiced on this

farm, and that it is managed and work—

ed by Mr. Kinbh and one man, except

during haying and lambing time, he

will appreciate the managerial ability

of the owner. .A tractor and three





. teams of horses furnish the farm pow-





er. “We would not keep all three

teams, except that we need them when

it comes to haying. The tractor is

employed for every job that we can

use it, even to cutting the hay. The

teams are needed when the hay is

ready to go to the barn.





“With the help available we could





not handle the amount of hay, grown





upon the faim, ” said he, “were it not

fo1 the fact that we operate on a larg-

e1 unit than does the average farmer

I cut down twenty acres and mo1e of

I use the tractor for

It takes hay longer to cure

here than "in most sections of the

state on accolmt of the nearness to

Lake Huron and Saginaw Bay. But

by cutting down larger amounts, we





can rush the hauling once it is cured. '





My help will put in twice as much

hay this way as by the piecemeal sys-

tem, and I doubt if we have any more,

if as much, weathered as we would by

the ordinary method.



“We keep about a thousand. sheep,"

he continued. “There are\both fine

and coarse wool breeds. .Among the

Ram-

bouillets, Oxfords,~ Shropshires, South-

downs and Romneys. We dispose of

the surplus fine wools in Texas. The

others are sold-nearer home. Three

'lambing season arrives, hay is ted both

morning and evening and the been re-

tion is increased. Mr. Kinch also feeds

a pound- of' cottonseed meal daily to

each ten sheep. He plans tohave the

pure-bred lambs come in March and

the gradesin April. This distributes

labor and enables him to get along

with but one extra man.



“During the Winter I feed straw in

the field. I spread a load where I

want it for manure. The sheep will

follow this scattered straw across the

field and eat the_chaff. The next day

another load is spread beside the first.

This plan gets the animals in the open,

gives them exercise, and enables them

to produce strong lambs which come

On the main farm there are two

barns. One is 70X200 feet, and the

other is 36x136 feet. The larger barn

is really a covered barnyard. Bays

are arranged in each end, with the

center clear. In these bays the grain

is mowed and when threshed the straw

is piled in the center. Later hay is

stored in the bays across the ends.

The barn is sided with corrugated

steel which has been in place twenty-

five years.

A Love Story





Our Week/y Sermon—By N. 14. McCum’





F the book of Ruth, Goethe said

0 it is “the loveliest little idyll that



tradition has transmitted to us.”

It is like a tiny mountain lake, calm

and deep, between two towering, wind-

swept peaks. It is like the moment of

sunshine between storms, For before

it goes Judges, full of wars and feuds.

After it comes the historical books,

with their record of strife and the rise

and fall of kings. When Benjamin

Franklin read Ruth to the skeptical

literary folks of Paris they would not

at first believe that so beautifulastory

as this could be found in such a book

as the Bible.



It is a story of friendship. Daugh-

ters-in~law do not always adore their

mothers-in-law. But this one does, and

it is the pivot on

which the story

swings. We can-

not help thinking

of Moses’ admira-

tiOn for his good

old father-inlaw,

Jethro, and this

respect for the

older man’s judg-

‘ “ ' ment. We think,

also, of the friendship between. David

and Jonathan, Elisha and Elijah, Paul

and Timothy. Barnabas and Mark.

Jesus-and Mary, Martha and Lazarus.

she is a vice—president and leader, the

Many years ago, Henry Clay Trum-

bull, editor of the Sunday School

Times, wrote a book entitled, “Friend-V

ship the Master Passion.” There is

also the friendship between Elizabeth

and Mary. Friendships make or mar

life.





When Ruth made her now famous

declaration to Naomi, it meant more

to her than it does to us when we

hear it sung or repeated. She was

going into a foreign country, where the

people spoke a different language and

worshiped a different God. \She would

be homesick and homesickness is real

sickness. One November day in 1860,

Christina Mackintosh set sail on the

good ship John Williams for South

Africa, to become the bride of a young

French missionary, Francois Cvoillard.

She herself said she was going to an

unknown country,.and an- almost un-

known husband. The surroundings" of

her tiny cabin in the jungle she found

to be beautiful. But oh! how home-

sick she was. She would sit by the

hour, reading and re-reading old home

letters and crying quietly. One day-

she realized that that was not the way

to be a helper to her brave missionary

husband. She put‘the letters in the

fire, and said to him, “You shall never

see me fretting any more. I have

* ,jle.» Second, she had passengers, an

en dozen of them, to unload at the

dock of St. James. Bound up from



- Buffalo they were. and heartily tired of

their journey by water, glad enough to

be so near ‘its ending. The Briggs was

a freighting schooner, never designed»

for the comfort of passengers. This

was April. Late spring storms had

harrassed the ship all the way. She

had sailed out of Buffalo on the heels

of the retreating ice does, and fifty

miles out a Lake Erie sou-wester had

pounced upon .her, shaking her, rig-

ging and hull, as a terrier shakes a

rat. Nothing for it but to strip off

canvas and run with the wind under

bare poles, While hummocks of black-

ened ice from the storm-pounded floes

scraped and bumped alongside. They

had added thus two hundred miles of

storm-harrassed water to the already

overlong course. Had run half that

distance before the gale, and had sail-

ed the other‘half back into the head-

seas of an ugly dying swell, while the

dozen passengers, not yet on their

sealegs, and many of them indeed on

their first journey off dry land, lay in

bunks below the freighting schooner’s

deck and expected and even prayed

to die.



Then again, in Lake Huron, thirty-

six hours of such wind and water as

only an autumn voyage should have

brought them out of the northeast,

and after that a day of fog so thick

that the bowsprit was scarce visible

from the foremast, while the schooner

felt her slow way through the murk

and the three hoarse blasts of her fog

horn at regular intervals served to re-

mind of the imminence of danger and

death.



Now, on the last lap of the journey,

as they cleared the shelter of the

Straits, too far out to turn and put

back into the lee of the harbor of St.

Ignace, this daybreak gale, cold and

vicious, with the murky haze of wet

snow to add to their trouble and

dangen ,



They would be glad enough to reach

land, these voyagers. Cheerless and

forbidding as the island harbor of St.

James might look, under the sullen

skies, dreary a vision as it might offer

for a future home, at least it would be

land, that did not rock and heave and

pitch under foot, that did not threaten

to sink while one tried to sleep, drop-

ping one to an unmarked grave in the

hold of a wrecked schooner. '



They were pilgrims, these twelve.

Recruits in the army that was coming

up out of the wilderness to a land

overflowing with milk and honey. So

at least they believed. Of the twelve,

eleven were converts, or their families.

The remaining member was the Elder

. David Page, sent east from the temple

of St. James the autumn before to

plant a stake of Zion in the neighbor-

hood of Buffalo.





Early converts these, too, else they

would not have been making the jour-

ney at this untimely season. Two

bands would follow them, later in the

summer, one in May, another in June

or July, but these, early in conversion,

had been impatient to see the new

land to which their Elder promised to

lead them, where none was rich and

none was poor, where one-tenth of the

possessions of every man went into

the coffers of the church, together-

with the firstling of every flock and

the first fruits of each harvest, but

where in return a man received a

home and food, and need never want

for anything so long as he worked

with reasonable industry.





80, impatient to reach their prom-

ised Utopia, this band had chosen the

freighting schooner because she was

the best opportunity that might offer.

Navigation was barely open and they

were unwilling to wait upon the regu—

lar schedules of passenger ships.



A great year, that year brought to

an end by the Winter of 1855 and 1856, ,1





for the Mormon colony of the Beaver

Islands. A colony of more than two

thousand people, bound together by a

common faith, undaunted by enemies

or hardships, already reaching out,

spreading to neighboring lands, put-

ting forth the feelers, the tentacles of

empire, dreaming dreams of posses-

sioh, of control, of government, never

to be realized. - Already settlements

were established on High Island, on

Patmos and Paros, northern and south-

ern of the Fox group. Already the

Mormons, from woodcutter to King,

dreamed finished dreams of an island

empire, rich and prosperous, safe from

molestation and invasion. Yet under-

neath ran a current counterwiSe. Dis-

sension was all but open in the colony





. .

ed eyes of the sailor saw first, and he

extended a finger, pointing.



“There,“ he cried,"'just off the head

of Beaver. See her looming there.”



A hundred yardsaway, faintly dis-

cernible through the show, a boat was

coming. Up out of the west, flying be-

fore the gale with bare poles. A Mack-

inaw boat of the mainland fisher fleet.

No more than thirty feet long over all,

and scarce a fourth of that from beam

end to beam end, open of deck and

tiller steered. Yet built by seamen

who had sailed the storm-ridden wa-

ters oi! the rocky coast of north Ire-

land. and built to weather any storm

that blew.



Just before the boat, off the head of

the island, the seas were meeting in

a mighty cross rip. Gray mountains

itself. More determined, more concert-_

ed day by day grew the efforts of the

fishermen on the mainland. from Pine

River to Green Bay, to dislodge and

destroy the colony. Already the fed-

eral government stood ready on slight

provocation, to lay hold with a stern

hand.





The island kingdom of the Mormons

had that summer blazed past its zen—

ith, begun the early arc of its decline.

The throne was crumbling now, the

star of the Mormon King already turn-

ing toward its setting.



Of the twelve who waited that

stormy morning for the Kathleen

Briggs to round the point into the land-

locked harborof St. James and find

secure anchorage, only one was indif-

ferent to the storm, watched without

anxiety the shores of Hog Island crawl—

ing astern, when from time they were

visible through the murk of snow.





Barbara Loar had enjoyed the voy-

age, save for the first five horrible

hours out of Buffalo, when she had

been sick with the wretched sickness

of those uninitiated to the motions of

a. gale-lashed sailing ship. When

storms kept the other passengers be-

low, she had stayed on deck. When

the pitching of the Schooner required

two men at the wheel, the girl was in

the wheelhouse with them, watching

While they held the complaining boat

up to her course. When the fog was

thick, shrouding the boat, shutting it

in with a loneliness so tangible it could

be felt, Barbara alone of the passen-

gers reveled in it, enjoying the Isola-

tion it brought to the schooner. ~



She stood this morning at the rail,

just forward of the mainmast, beside

the captain. Yellow oilskins, borrowed

from a ship's officer, draped her from

head to foot. From under the down-

turned brim of the sou-wester that

matched the oilskins, the edges of her

coppery hair peeped, tightly curled

from the damp.



The voice of the lookout trailed sud-

denly,back from the bowsprit.



“Ship ahead—~on the starboard

bow!”



A minute Captain Chambers and the

girl stared into the storm. The traln-





Michigan soil, it bids fair to be

of water, rolling with the wind, met

other gray mountains of the perverse

cross current that followed along the

lee shore. A sullen shock, a thunder-

ous upheaval of the seas and a smoth-

er of spray, time after time, ceaseless-

ly, regularly, as the waters met. What

boat of any sort could live to cross

through such a gateway as that!





The watchers on the schooner’s deck

say now the helmsman stand erect for

a moment, as though studying his

course. The Mackinaw boat swerved

ever so slightly, checked, lifted dizzily

on a wave crest, spun and slid sicken-

ingly down. Behind her the turmoil

of gray-green water seethed and boil-

ed, as though in futile 'rage that the

quarry had escaped.



The fishing craft rode then, rise and

pitch, sink and climb, as jauntily as





before. Her course seemed laid to

run the schooner down. She did not

change it, came steadily on, while





twice the hail of the schooner’s lookout

went unanswered.““Scant fifty yards

away, the captain himself hailed her

through cupped hands.



The helmsman stood erect again

then, to answer him. .



“Hold your course,” the hail reached

them, clear and strong on the gale.

“We'll cross your bow.”





Cross it they did, by a scant margin

of half the fishing craft’s own length.

So near, indeed, that as the schooner

pitched down into a trough while the

Mackinaw boat rode the adjacent crest

Barbara Loar, leaning over the rail,

looked down into the boat, into the

eyes of the helmsman and thought she

could have reached out and touched

his two hands where they lay locked

on‘ the broken bar of the tiller.



The helmsman was young. More

than that the girl did not see in the

fleeting instant their eyes. met and

held, yet there was something electri-

fying in the swift contact. Words

could not have carried" between them,

had they shouted a greeting, but that

brief instant of seeing into each oth-

er’s eyes was as though their hands

had brushed‘together, all hidden, un-

observed, but oh, so warm, in the

white smother of snow.

‘ The little fishing boat held her

course._ The Kathleen Briggs veered

to a new tack, swinging out for the

harbor entrance pf St: James.



The captain had left the rail. The

girl, gazmg infra; the storm where the

young helmsman and his boat we'

swallowed up, was aware that som

one else stood beside her. She look-

, ed up. *



_ It. was: Page, the Elder, tail, cada

ous and stooped.



“We are home, my child,” he said,

his flat voice showing neither rejoic-

ing nor regret. ,



The girl did no answer. Instead she

pointed "in the direction the fishing

craft had taken. "



“Did you see them?" she asked, and

when he nodded, “Why do they not

come about and try for the shelter of

the harbor? Is a change of course

more dangerous than such a race?”



The tall. Mormon shook his head.



"It is not-that.” he said. "They are

Gentiles. They would not be welcome





in our harbor."

he girl studied him,





For a moment t

incredulous.



“But in a storm like this,” she chal-

lenged. “Surely our King is not so

inhuman as that?” ’



The Elder smiled coldly. “In no

storm,” he told her, “are the Gentiles

welcome to seek refuge‘among the

chosen people. And you will find,” he

added dryly, “that you do well not to

criticise our 'King.”





For a moment scorn was unveiled in

the girl’s clear eyes. Then she passed

his remark by and, said quietly,

“Where will they anchor?"



“On the~ mainland, if their craft lives

that far. At Pine River, likely.”



“It is how far?” she questioned.



“Thirty-three miles," he answered.



The girl turned away and went be-

low without comment.





So the Kathleen Briggs sailed

- through the harbor entrance, out of

the spring gale, bearing the first of

the converts for that year, tied up at

the dock that fronted the village of

St. James, and unloaded her sea-weary

passengers. And so Shane McCrag-

gen’s Mackinaw boat continued on, fly-

ing bare of canvas, before the gale,

And is it strange if, to the young sail~

or’s eyes, a certain face rode the gray

crests of the waves ahead of him,

smiling and beckoning him on to the

haven of a sailor’s good fortune?

The boat made haven finally, too,

tying up at the fishermen’s dock at

Pine River, where today lake-going

craft, steam driven, find secure anchor-

age in land-locked Charlevoix harbor.

A Radiola for Christmas





Radiola—one suggests

the other. A real Christmas

and a real Radiola——one of

the sets containing all the new

improvements that have set

the world talking—but tried

and tested and perfected.





CHRISTMAS and an RCA





If you have not yet heard

radio- in its natural, tested

form—if you are still exper-

imenting with inferior sets,

or are merely on the thresh—

old of the enchanted land——

do not delay in asking your

RCA Authorized Dealer for





a demonstration.





There is Radiola 2o—an

antenna set,specially built for

farm homes. It packs into

one small radio set all the

quality of making and per-

formance that a man wants

when he is interested in re—

salts—and low price. It has

a power tube for volume——

single control for simplicity

——with verniers for accurate

tuning of distant stations.

And it does get distance!





There is Radiola 25—the six

tube super-heterodyne. It gets

distance with only its loop. It

tunes in with a single finger

-— gets clear, rich volume

with its power tube. And its

fine tone quality is sealed in.





Radiola 28 is the eight tube

Super—heterodyne. The eight

tubes mean bigger distances

and liner selectivity. And the

music it brings in with a sin-

gle turn of the hand is real!





Radiola 30 is the eight tube

super-heterodyne with power

loudspeaker and no batteries.

Just plug it in on the house

currentvtune in—and turn

up the volume. It is not mere

power—but clear, natural

volume. It gets the actual

tone and the actual volume

of the original musiC—unal—

tered. This is the radio set of

the future—the Christmas

oil‘ering for the man who has

an old radio set of an earlier





day.





The super-heterodynes are

built with th<)usandth-of—an—

inch preciseness—yet they

are built so sturdily and seal—

ed so well that years cannot

affect their most delicate ad—

justments. They are sealed

——as no other type of radio

set is sealed—in a catacomb

that neither dust nor air can

penetrate.





V’Viththe moderate terms that

an RCA Dealer will arrange,

you can easily greet Christ—

mas morning with a Radiola!

And it is a permanent invest—

ment, for it never grows old,

but becomes a greater treas—

ure as broadcasting grows and

the great artists and singers

of the world turn more and

more to radio.

QUALITY ‘ ALWAYS ° MAINTAINED
I take my

tobacco

seriously





MY JIMMY-PIPE is as much a part of

my daily existence as the food I eat or

the clothes I wear. Nothing could ruin

my day more completely than an indif-

ferent tobacco. So I smoke Prince

Albert . . . that and nothing else. It

satisfies my smoke-taste right down to

the ground.



The day I discovered the tidy red tin

was a red-letter day for me. I knew then

and there that I had been missing the

complete joy my pipe could bring me.

But I’m making up for lost time now. I

load up with P. A. right after breakfast

and stay with it till “lights out.”





 





That first cool, consoling puff tells you

that no other tobacco is like Prince

Albert—or can be. You expect a won-

derful smoke the instant you throw back

the hinged lid on the tidy red tin and

breathe that rich fragrance of real to-

bacco. P. A. is equally fragrant as you

smoke it in your pipe.



You’ll like the mildness of Prince

Albert . . . its friendliness to tongue and

throat. Mild, yet with a body that sat-

isfies completely. You may think you’re

all set on the matter of smokes. Never

mind. Buy a tidy red tin of P. A. today.

I’ll guarantee it will be a revelation.





 

   

 





P. A. is sold everywhere in tidy red

tins, pound and half-pound (in Immi-

dors,¢md pound crystal-glass humidors

with sponge-moistener top. And

always with every bit of bile and pure]:

removed by the Prince Albert process.

meek McCray had never been a fat

man. '83 had been -a. huge man and

age had distorted his muscles into odd

lumps and hummocks without orderor

symmetry.

His clay pipe, burned out to a stain-





 





 





less white each week’s end in his





forge, he held clamped between the





-, four teeth that remained to him, two





above and twdbelow, protruding bold—

1y from under his drooping mustache,

the sandy hue of-which had not yet

succumbed to age. ,



A laughable old figure and no more





"than that, unless one chanced to note





the straightforward gleam of the un-

faded eyes under their shaggy brows,

unless one gave heed to the alertness

of his movements or measured the

vast reserves of strength in the huge

arms, the hunched shoulders, the

heavy thighs.



A dozen feet behind Aleck, hunched

on a dock timber, her blanket wrap-

ped about her to fend off the storm

that her lord and master faced so in-

differently, sat Aleck’s squaw, sadly

misnamed‘ Butterfly in her native Ot-

tawa, equally sadly misnamed Bobbie

Burns, in Aleck’s sparingly used vo-

cabulary. °



“1 dinna. ken why not,” Aleck had

once said to a friend who remon‘strat-

ed against a name so inappropriate.

“Was he no fond o’ a drappie o’ gude

liquor? An’ do ye ken he always stop-

ped at the drappie? Aweel, nayther

does she!” ‘



Bobbie Burns was clasping her own

clay pipe, as stainless as Aleck’s, in

gums that were innocent of any sug-

gestion of teeth at all. It was her one

solace against the coldness and wet-

ness of the storm, and she drew at it

diligently.



The inbound schooner drew nearer.

Figures standing at her rail loomed

hazily through the blanket of flying

snow, grew gradually more distinct.





hand on her shoulder.





“Be still Black Bonnie,” he implored

her. “Let’s wait and see if they come."



This was an old quest of Orphan‘

Danny’s. He. was forever roaming up

and down the island, working and liv-

ing a. while with this family, a. while

with that, always asking, searching,

for the family he believed he had lost.

No one ever knew of what the family

consisted, and Danny never enlight-

ened them. Indeed, it seemed doubt-

ful if he himself knew. They were

just his folks that were coming some

day, father or mother or sister or

brother, as the case might be.





As for Danny himself, he had been

at St. James so long that no one won-

dered any more about his own origin.

He had come one summer on a boat,

with a shipload of converts, when the

colony was young. He had been un-

der the care of some member of the

party, no one now remembered even

who it was. A sort of mental dere-

lict whom some Mormon had taken on

himself to guide to safety in St.

James. People pitied him, gave him

work and food, and beyond that no

one cared.





The Kathleen Briggs turned, came

warping to her place alongside the

dock. Mormons on shore recognized

Elder Page, and shouts of greeting

went up. A voice took up old Aleck‘s

cry, “Pilgrims. There are Pilgrims

aboard!” and the words echoed from

end to end of the long pier, where a

crowd of the colony watched the land-

ing of the schooner.



Aleck’s gaze was fastened steadily

on a little group of three, standing by

the rail well forward on the ship's

deck.



A man tall and thin, with a pale

sandy mustache and heard, and big

pale freckles, who still succeeded in

Too many for the crew. Old Aleck’s

keen eyes made out finally women in

the little knot, clustered there by the

gang plank.



“It’s the pilgrims,” he cried. “The

first 0’ the season. Noo they’ll be

stringin' in till fall, like crows to a

roostin’ place!” '-



“Do you suppose my folks’ll be

aboard, Aleck?" a. thin, slow voice at

his side inquired. This was Danny

Dawson speaking. Orphan Danny,

whose strangely blighted mind looked

out, pitifully uncurtained, through the

open windows of his pale blue, crossed

eyes. .



Dull eyes, Danny’s, yet somehow for-

ever pleading in their dullness. A dull

face, Danny’s, almost to the point of

hideousness. The blank face of a near-

idiot. Yet Danny’s brain was more

nearly the brain of a. child than of an

imbecile.



Aleck had not noticed the boy be—

fore. He glanced down at him now,

crouching there on his haunches like

a clumsy ill-kept animal. Between his

knees was sitting a big black collie,

her back hunched to the storm, the

wet snow driven deep into her glossy

fur. One could not fail to notice, as

she gazed soberly out at the approach-

ing schooner, that her brown eyes put

to shame with their earnestness and

alertness, the dull blue eyes ‘of her

master. Nor could one fail to read the

warm glow of affection in the dog’s

eyes when she turned them up to the

dull face of the master at some slight

movement of his. At such times she

huddled. closer to him, her tail beating

a brief tatoo of contentment against

the dock. ‘



Danny’s cressed eyes continued to

look up at Aleck, uncertain, pleading

as always.



“Do you. reckon they will, Aleck?”

he persisted in his flat voice. .

The old Sco‘tchman nodded. .“I





 





shouldn’a be surprised, laddie,” he





said. ‘

-.The dog stirred at'his words, made





looking determined despite his handi-

caps, because of the square set of his

long pointed chin and the steady gaze

of his blue eyes. He was silent, study-

ing the cheerless panorama of St.

James under her sullen blanket of wet

spring snow, the dark stretch of forest

behind the village, the dreary crescent

of the curving sand beach. Nor did he

inanifest any enthusiasm at the pic—

ure.





Beside him a stout, eager woman

talked incessantly, delightedly, of ev-

erything, turned the gaze of her small

brown eyes rapidly from this to that

object about the dock and harbor, ex-

pressng with gestures as eloquent to

Aleck on the dock as her words were

to her hearers, her approval of it all.





Between them stood a girl of medi-

um height, her rounded slenderness

deformed but not hidden by the heavy

oilskins that draped her from head to

foot. From under the brim of her

sou-waster pooped truant strands of

hair, the color of new copper wire.

tight curled from the wetness of melt-

ing snow. She was as silent as the

man and her scarlet mouth was arched

in an amused smile as though in tol-

erant scorn for the entire affair.



Old Aleck studied her longest of the

odd trio. Then he queried soberly of

Danny Dawson and Black Bonnie,



“Do ye see the lass for’ard there?

Ay, the ain Wi ’the ruddy ,curls. Aweel,

the King weel be wantin’ her right

soon.”

USED to think there were only two

It makes a fine soup if more water

Inexpensive Home Conveniences





T looked like a real old-fashioned

I medicine show as the truck drove



into some of the villages, and, fol-

lowed by a crowd of small boys, park-

ed in the vacant lot. “How much is

the show, mister?” was the eager ques-

tion, and then young faces fell when

the canvas curtains were rolled up,

disclosing only kitchens on either side

of the partition which divided the

truck lengthwise.



The crowd of men and women who

gathered, however, were not disap—

pointed, for many of them had driven

miles to see this demonstration of

methods of installing simple, inexpen-

sive water systems and other conven—

iences in their homes, which would

mean more comfort for the entire

family.



A large percentage of Cloverland

rural homes are in their infancy and

still lack many of the conveniences

which farm homes in older sections of

the state take as a matter of course.

It is not unusual for all water for

household purposes to be carried quite

a distance—in some instances as far

as a quarter of a mile. Hence, this

Home Convenience Truck tour planned

and conducted by the Home Demon-

stlation and Agricultural Engineering

Departments of the Extension Service





‘ of the Michigan State College.





A platform ten feet long and [six

feet wide was built on the truck body

and enclosed by a roof and ends. Can-

vas curtains which could be rolled up,

formed the sides. A lengthwise par»

tition divided it into two rooms, one

two feet wide,‘ and the other feur feet

wide.

Held the Interest of Many Groups.





The narrour side showed the simp-

lest, most inexpensive means of get-

ting water in and out of the house, i.

e., a pitcher pump and sink without a

back. The other side showed a slight-

ly more elaborate system, with the

pitcher pump replaced by a force pump

and connected to a range boiler so

that either hot or cold water might be

had at the sink. A back was also ad-

ded to the sink and cupboards, and

broad work-shelf built to show'the

convenience to the housewife of such

a working center.



“It is not necessary,” said Mr.

George Amundson, Agricultural En—

gineering Specialist for the Upper Pen-

insula District, who drove the truck

and otherwise acted as director of the

tour, “to wait until one can afford a

complete running water system before

enjoying some of the benefits of water

in the house. One can begin with the

simplest of equipment as shown on the

truck, and with very‘little waste, grad-

ually add to it as finances permit,

until a complete System is installed.

The force pump can later replace the

pitcher pump, a separate back can be

added to the sink, a 1ange boiler in-

stalled to supply hot water, and if a

storage tank can be put. in the attic

and the water pumped into it, running

water can be had any place in the

house.” He explained how it could be

cOnnected to the bath tub when this

comf6rt could be afforded.

Also, place the desired amount of ‘

couple tablespoonfu’ls of flour beside

Lastly, canned beef makes a fine

2 cups thick tomato pulp Seasoning



Heat beef, pour off liquid, grind and

mix with other ingredients. If pre-

ferred, the liquid in which the beef is

canned may be used instead of the to-

mato pulp. Place in an oiled baking

dish and bake one hour.

ter supply of meat. 1 find that it les-

ers and hired help on the farm. ——Mrs.

the sink, Mr. amnndSon wowed, by a

small model and diagrams, how ‘it

might be cared for in a much more

cleanly, sanitary manner by the use

of a barrel grease "trap, sosimple that

any man could build one in a few

hours.



ME? Amundson urged, however, that

if possible the septic tank be built to

care for the waste. This tank is also

simple‘of construction, relatively ineX<

pensive, can be built by the man of

the place, and takes care 'of the sew-

age as well as any city'system. “The

operation is automatic and so ‘fool

proof,’ " Mr. Amundson assured his au-

diences. '



Men and women who had dreamed

of these cdnveniences, but had not

hoped for them for a'number of years,

studied models, " charts and bulletins,

and left with a determination to have

water in the house before another sum—

mer ended. One man whose plans

were complete for water in the barn,

decided to put it in the house as well.



“Statistics gathered in a government

survey showed that the average family

without water in the house had to

carry in about twenty tons during the

ye'ar,‘and carry out as waste. ten

tons,” said Mrs. Bernice Wells, Assist-

ant State Home Demonstration Lead-

er, who also a‘Ccompanied the truck.



“Water in and out of the house,”

she continued, “means more, not only

in the way of comfort and convenience,

but also in the conservation of family

health, than any other one conven-

ience. She also urged good floor cov-

erings as the next step toward a con-

venient workshop for rural wives.





“ Printed Iinoleums, she said, give

good satisfaction but should be laid so

there are no cracks nor loose edges

exposed where dirt can collect and

water seep in, for these are the ene-

mies of linoleum, causing them to rot

dilickly.,~ffl'1‘he~ problem of having the

pattern of the printed linoleum wear

off may be met by giving the linoleum,

two coats of good floor varnish and

then using a small amount of floor wax:

on it after each weekly cleaning. This.

protects the pattern and the linoleum

itself. “Too many women,” said Mrs.

Wells, “scrub up their linoleum and





doors.”



That the energy required to accom-

plish the necessary household duties

might be lessened considerably if at-

tention was given to the arrangement

of the kitchen furniture and equip-

ment, was also demonstrated by Mrs.

Wells. The routing of work, the con-

venience of drain boards at the sink,

and built-in cupboards in the kitchen

and the kitchen stool were shown in'

the truck exhibit. The greater ease

with which work could be accomplish:

ed when working surfaces were of the

proper height of the worker, was also

demonstrated. “Women have thought

their,backs ached because they were

women, when in a large percentage of

cases, it has been because their tables

and sinks were tbo low,” said Mrs.

Wells, in discussing this point.



A. total of 1966 people saw the ex-

hibit and listened to the lectures.

County agricultural agents arranged

the thirty—nine stops in the Upper Pen-

insula counties. Rural people every-

where, both men and women, by their

presence at the demonstration and

their part in the discussions, showed

keen interest in these conveniences,

proving that in Cloverland, as else-

where, the goal of all effort is the

home.

The Story of Jesus

. By Alice Jackson





HE coming of December means





Christmas. Reminders of this



anniversary of the birthday of



Jesus are everywhere. One name

that comes to us as we think of this

great event is the name of Mary. Does

your name happen to be Mary, or have

you~fr1ends by that name? It is a

name made dear to us all, because

Mary was the mother of Jesus.



It. is not hard. to imagine Mary as

a girl, and many of the Madonnas

painted by famous artists show her

as young and girlish. We are sure

her face had the glow of health, that

her eyes had a sweetly serious look.

that she had.a sunny smile and a

happy expressmn. Her dress was a

‘Her hair” was hidden by a. scarlet

or. white headdress bound upon her

head and hanging down her back.

, Updn her feet were loose slippers or

' ;.sandals of yellow leather. She wore

rings of brass, while across her fore-

head was a row of coins that gleamed

or shook as she turned her head.

Mary lived with her father and

mother, whose names have come

down to us as Joachim and Anna. She

helped her mother make the goats’

milk into various dishes and pounded

the grain into coarse meal. She mixed

this meal with salt and water to make

little cakes which had to be baked

before an open fire on hot stones, The

wool from the sheep had to be carded,

then woven into cloth and dyed bright

colors before it was made up into

clothing.

They were very busy days. At eve-

ning when it was cooler, she would

. go to the village well with a brown

earthenware jarto draw water for her

mother to use in their little home. For

in- those days each family did not

have a well of their own, or have wa-

ter piped into the house as some of

us have, but there was a large public

well or spring where all the women

went for water. When they were not

too busy, the girls and women would

stand a long time at the well talking

together.

. A number of years before this the

Jewish people had been conquered by

the Romans, a powerful warlike nation

who at this time called themselves the

rulers of the world. They were not

unkind to the Jews and allowed them

to worship in their own way. But the

Jews were a freedom-loving people,

proud of their race and religion, so

they hated the Romans bitterly.

They believed that some day a king

of their own people, like David of old,

would come, rule over them, and crush

the hated Romans. So when they gath-

ered together, they would talk eagerly

of this expected Messiah, as they call-

ed him, and each maiden would won-

der if perhaps she might not be chos-

en to be the mother of the expected

one. .

Parents ’ Wed





HE First Annual Parents’ Week, last year, proved to be one

of the most interesting and instructive features of this depart-

ment. The comments received at that time held the interest of

this department for nearly two months. -

Parents’ comments on the activities of this department are al-

ways welcomed, but once each year I urge the parents to tell

what they think of us and our activities. Parents should be inter-

ested in this department, even as they should take interest in all

the activities of their children. By nature, the parent is the guide

and counsellor of the young until they themselves are capable to

take on the full responsibilities of life. -

So, at this time, I ask parents to take a little of their time to

criticize, or make any other comments, on the activities of this de-

partment. Suggestions and messages of inspiration to the young .- ‘





Please send -these parent letters by December 27, so that I

can get them ready for our issue of January 8.—Uncle Frank.

receive snapshots of the M. C’s, or do

you just print pictures that are sent

in answer to contests?——With best

wishes to all, your niece, “Vic. ”



1, too, would like to know what has

become of Rex. I am always pleased

to get snapshots of M. C.’ s. In fact, I

wish I had some to use now.

CHRISTMAS ESSAY WINNERS.“





 





WAS pleased to receive such a nice

lot of essays on “What Christmas

Means to Me,” and especially because

so many of the essays expressed true

and worthy sentiments about Christ-

mas. It was very difficult to pick the

winners, especially among the boys.

But several of us read the papers and

finally agreed that Walter Burns’ pa-

per should have first place. On the

whole, the boys sent in better papers

than the girls, and I wish to congrat-

ulatethe boys for doing so. The prize.

winners are:

CAUSES OF RHEUMATIC PAINS.





 





I have rheumatic pains. I have

heard a lot about such troubles~being

caused by bad teeth, but mine are all

good ones—bought of the dentist. Can

anything else be done for rheumatism?

—D. F. S.



There are many other points of focal

infection besides the teeth. Often old,

decaying scraps of tonsil material

make trouble. Purulent sinuses of the

nose and other parts often produce in-

fection. The principle is exactly the

same as with the diseased teeth. In

old, chrOnic cases that have existed

for several years, there may be many

pains persisting after all points of in-

fection are removed. These pains can

be greatly" relieved by treatment di-

rected to improving the circulation

through the joints. Many doctors have

baking machines which are used quite

effectively in the chronic cases.





IODINE FOR GOITRE.





 





What about goiter? What does lack

pf iodine have to do with it?——B. B.





We believe that goitre of the simple

kind is due tuba—failure to supply suf-

ficient. iodine to allow 'the thyroid

gland to function in a'normal manner.

When goitre' is sufficiently developed

to be noticeable, it reguires specific

treatment to check the. ailment, but



' we be done by the ad





 





iodid. When a goitre is fully devel-

oped the best method of removal is

by surgery.





BEING BURIED ALIVE.





 





My aunt—ah old lady—is vely much

disturbed about being buried alive.

What shall I tell her? Is catalepsy at

all common?—-N. W.





No. The modern undertaker is well

informed as to anatomy and physiol-

ogy and it would be quite out of the

question that anybody given to an un-

dertaker to prepare for burial would

be interred if there were the faintest

signs of ,life.





TUMOR ON LIP.





 





‘ I have a sore on my lip which a

surgeon called a tumor. He says it

will have to be cut out and I shall

also have to have all my lower teeth

and part of my upper ones pulled out,

and he will have to take some kernels

out of my throat on each side. He

thinks it a very serious operation and

does not give me much hope—F- D. X.





Your surgeon could give such advice

only on the theory that the tumor is

really a cancer. He is proposing very

radical treatment. It may be very

necessary,

gloomy prognosis I do not think very

much of it. If you have cancer he is

doing you no favor in hesitating to





say so; and if this is the case it seems.





to me, that a case so far advanced





would be likelyytoflnd its best hope ‘





but offered with such a.’

i Readers whose hens are not laying

well during these days of high egg

prices will find much of interest in the

following letter from C. D. Henry,





Alverton, Pa. He says:



“I placed 10 pullets by themselves, and fed

:them Don Sung. The third day my eggs in-

: creased from 3 to 9 a day. They have had Don

lSung ever since and have laid continuously.

L Yesterday I got 10 eggs from them and am

willing to make afi‘idavit to it. Don Sung cer-

tainly gets the eggs. It has paid for itself

. many, times over.”



Don Sung, the Chinese egg laying tablets

which Mr. Henry used, are opening the eyes

of chicken raisers all over America. The tablets

'can be obtained from the Burrell—Dugger Co.,

1131 Allen St., Indianapolis, Ind. Poultry rais-

icrs whose hens are not laying well should send

, 50 cents for a trial package (or $1 for the extra

large size, holding three times as much). Don

Sung is positively guaranteed to do the work or

money promptly refunded, so it costs nothing

to try. Right now is the time to start giving

iDon Sung to your hens, so you will have a

. good supply of fresh eggs all

HY is it that when eggs are the

highest, so many farmers have

so few to sell? Why is it that

during the winter many people, sup-

porting hens, have to buy eggs? Often-

times thih is due to improper feeding.

Sometimes it is due to poor housing,

and Sometimes to poor breeding, but

very often the cause is “Improper

Feeding.” '



We know that no man can do a. good

day’s work unless he is well fed, and

the amount of feed reminds one of the

Dutchman and his horse. The Dutch-

man had an idea. he could train his

horse to get along without any feed

if he worked it right, so he cut the

horse down to one feeding a. day, and

then he kept decreasing the amount of

feed each day. The results are best

told in the experimenter’s own words.

“I got the horse so he could go along

on just one stalk of hay a day, and

then the darn horse went and died.”



Some people have somewhat the

same idea about poultry feeding. At

least, they do not feed properly—some-

times not at all—if they don’t get

home in time, etc—and is it any won-

der that they say, “Poultry raising

doesn’t pay.”



Essentials of Good Fegding.



One might ask, what are the essen-

tials of a good poultry ration? They

are: palatable—something the chick-

ens like, for then they will eat more;

nourishing, for the body must be built_

up and maintained, as well as produc—

ing eggs; concentrative, not too much

bulk or fiber, for the chickens’ capa-

city is limited; and variety, so that

the birds will not have just one thing

and tire of it.



Here in Michigan, especially in some

parts, there is a tendency to feed too

much corn. Corn is cheap. There is

plenty of it, so why not feed it? In

other sections, there are large quan-

tities of wheat fed, for often there is

low grade wheat that will not bring a.

very good price.



Let us compare the composition of

wheat with an egg. Let us say that

we feed the hen four ounces of wheat

per day, and she uses three of these

to maintain her body, so she has one

ounce left for egg production. In this

ounce, there will be enough protein to

make an egg every two or three days.

There will be enough carbohydrates

and fats to make three eggs at day, but

only enough lime to make an egg ev-

ery twelve days. What would the hen

do in such a case? She never makes

an imperfect article, so she might ab-

sorb some of the surplus fat in her

body, and very likely she would lay





. an egg every three or four days—every





two out of three soft shells unless she

could get her lime from some other

source. Later on, there very likely





 





   

   

 

 





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





' would be a. loss of appetite and health.





, Grain Mixture.





5 Some grain must be fed, and either

a mixture of sixty per cent‘ corn and

forty per cent wheat, or one of five

parts of corn and three parts of wheat

and two parts of oats is recommended.

A very light grain feeding should be

given in the morning so that the chick-

ens will be forced to eat more mash,

While at night a. heavy grain ration

should be given so the chickens should

go to the roosts with their crops full.

All grain should be fed in a deep litter

of straw so the birds will have to ex-

ercise. Some hens are naturally ac-

tive, but some have to be forced to it.

Plenty of exercise promotes a. good

appetite and induces a large food con-

sumption so as to make egg produc-

tion possible.



Mash should also be fed, as it is

much more available to the chicken

than grain, and does not take so long





to digest, nor so much energy, {so





more feed can be converted into‘ eggs.

twenty per cent meat scraps, and one

per cent salt.





have access to it at all times.

Moist Mash a Treat.



Hens appreciate a treat in the form

of moist mash, and it also has a. ten-

dency to increase egg production

slightly. If possible, pin: the mash

with skim-milk or buttermilk, but do

not get it too sloppy, as a. crumbly

condition is preferred. One should

give only enough so that the chickens

can clean it up in about twenty min-

utes, for if too much is fed, they are

apt to go off feed and lose their ap-

petites.



Green or succulent feeds are greatly

relished by poultry of all ages, and

should also be included in the ration.

Usually they have a. laxative effect and

keep the chickens in better condition.

They also increase the per cent of eggs

that will hatch. Cabbage, mangels and

sprouted oats are good. Cutting the

mangels in half and putting them on

nails about a foot from the floor is a

very good practice. Cabbage is usu-

ally fed whole, and a. good practice is

to hang it up so the birds have to

jump at little to get it. Sprouted oats

are often fed at noon, and are very

well liked by the hens.



Grit Necessary.



Grit is also very necessary, as it is

used in the gizzard for crushing and

grinding the food. Oyster shells should

be provided so as to furnish the lime

for the shells. \Vithout it there will

be fewer eggs and these may be soft-

shelled. Salt is required by all ani-

mals, and the hens are no exception.

A good practice is to mix about a. half

pound with each 100 pounds of mash.



Water is also very important, for a

very large percentage of the eggs is

made up of water. A flock will cease

laying quicker if kept without water

than if kept without food.



Hens will either lay fully formed

eggs or none at all, so they should be

provided with foods to form yolks——

grains are usually high in yolkaproduc-

ing foods, mash that is high in protein

to furnish the white, green food to

I wouldn't wonder if





-'She was a foreigner, in Bethlehem.

The rule was, that no foreigner was

to be admitted into the congregation.

But this was in the early days when

each community 'was more or less a

law unto itself. Foreigner has none

too pleasant associations. we lay

much to the door of the foreigner. It

is a convenient alibi for all of us na-

tive—homers. When things go wrong

in politics, in the administration of the

Eighteenth Amendment, in our local

communities, we lay it all. on the for—

eigners. But note, that this woman

Ruth, this quiet, beautiful female im-

migrant, became the grandmother of

David, and David was an ancestor of

Jesus. Jesus was not of pure Hebrew

blood. There was a bit of an alien

race in Him, though to Him there

were no alien races. Perhaps that

was one reason why He made so little

of distinctions between races.





Says Edward A. Steiner, “VVashi‘ng—

ton and Lincoln stir the foreign-born

like a tonic, and our national calendar

needs more saints to stimulaté emula—

tion. It, was a long time from Lincoln

to Roosevelt. We have printed many

books to teach the foreigner civics,

but we lack in living epistles.”





\Vhen the two women got to Bethle-

hem, there was a stir. Who was this

prematurely old, wrinkled and bent

woman? And who the foreign young

woman beside her? Yes, it’s Naomi.

She who took her two sons and went

away to give them a chance to make

their fortune. Things had not gone

well with them. The sons are buried

on foreign soil, and here she is, trail-

ing back, a Moabite daughter-in-law

with her. No wonder that Naomi is a.

bit cynical and says her name is Mara,

“Bitter." We. do not always come back

with colors flying. They may be at

half mast—~aud that may be exactly

what we need. Out of the misfortune

and the tears of Naomi came love,

romance, beauty, goodness. God’s ar-

rangement of filings is not always as

bad as it looks.





Ruth has qualities that the Ameri-

can sums up in one word, “stuff.” She

has the stuff. She is willing to work,

she is not puffed up or lazy or too

timid. Modesty and timidity are not

the same. The romance comes on fast,

now. A husband awaits her at the

other end of the barley field, though

she does not. know it, when she begins

to glean. And he’s rich! He belongs





‘ to one of the leading families and lives





in a fine, house. If he had lived a bit

later, he would have driven a super-

six. And then, the baby. and such a

round. rosy little fellow. The folk who

had made mean remarks when Naomi

came back, come forward now and

bow and scrape and remark what a

beautiful baby he is, and how good

God has 'been to the two homeless

women. And they are right, for once.

God has been good. He always is.

III-ices this winter below those of last,

tended to stimulate the

Edemand for unfinished cattle, espe-

cially in the states with fairly normal

corny production. The low quality of

corn in some states, due to the Sep—

tember freeze and subsequent wet

weather, has increased the demand for

heavy feeders for a short feed: Ship-

ments of heavy feeders (over 1,000

pounds) from four principal markets

in October, were forty per cent larger

than in October, 1925, and for the

four months, July to October, were

about eight per cent larger. For the

same four markets shipments of me-

dium weight steers, 700 to 1,000

pounds, in October continued below

last year, while shipments of steers

under 700 pounds, and of calves and

female cattle continued above last

yeah





Cattle feeding in areas outside the

corn belt‘state‘s may be considerably

increased this winter. Low priced cot-

tonseed and abundant supplies of for-

age and sorghum grains in Texas are

encouraging feeding in many sec-

tions of that state. The supply of

cake~finished cattle from Texas this

year was the largest in recent years,

but present indications are for even

larger supplies next year. In Colorado

some increase in cattle feeding is ex-

pected to offset decreased lamb feed-

ing as feed supplies there are abund-

ant. Some increase in cattle feeding

in Wyoming and Montana seems prob-

able, as beet/feeds are in larger sup-

ply. In, most states west of the Con-

tinental Divide, cattle feeding is re-

ported as likely to be on a smaller

scale than last year.

COUNTY TO TEST

COWS. ' ‘



ILK locals in St. Clair county be-

lieve that the niilk which is mar-

keted in Detroit from these locals,

should be produced bycows free from

tuberculosis. In order to make this

possible, the St. Clair board of super-

visors made an initial appropriation of

$9,000 to finance 1the work of bovine

tuberculosis eradication.





 





SELECT HEAVY SHEARING EWES.





UCH interest was aroused among

Jackson county sheep breeders

by the shearing demonstrations given

during the fair. Four breeders brought

sheep to be sheared in the demonstra-

tion. The work was supervised- by

Vern Freeman, animal husbandry spe-

cialist. The shearing demonstrations

are given to show the wide variation

in the weights of fleece carried by

sheep, and to arouse interest in select-

ing heavy shearing individuals to be

used as breeding stock. A Register of

Merit has been started for sheep that

produce certain specified amounts of

wool.





MANY GO ON HONOR LIST.





AIRY specialist of the Upper Pe-

ninsula, J. G. Vl'ells, has announc-

ed that s‘eventy-three l'pper Peninsula

farmers have been listed by the Na.—

tional Dairy Association on the na-

tional honor roll of dairy farmers. Dip-

lomas will be received by all dairymen

who own dairy herds that have pro-

duced an average of 300 pounds of but-

ter-fat in the year in a regularly or-

ganized cow—testing association.





An appropriation was made by the

board of supervisors of Hillsdale coun-

ty for the purpose of testing the poul-

try and swine in Camden township for

tuberculosis. The testing work began

November 3.

Distemper.»My cat eats but little,

and he sneezes continually. His eyes

run. He is‘a nice cat, and I wish you

would tell me what to do for him.

B. B.—Keep the cat in a dry, warm

place, away from drafts. Give two tea-

spoonfuls of castor oil. Wash eyes

twice daily with a warm four per cent

solution of boracic acid.



_ Growth in Teats.—Vv'hat causes the

small pea—size growths near end of a

cow’s teats that hinder milking, and

sometimes stops milk flow entirely?

I have a few cows that have these

growths in one or two teats. Can

they be cured by operation? Would

an operation be always successful to

remove growth, or wouldthere be some

other remedy? E. P.———These are usu-

ally the result of bruising in some

form or other, whereby the. duct be-

comes inflamed. They can generally

be removed by an operation, cutting

down and removing them through the

wall of the teat, or removed through

the teat canal without any incision.

One must not overlook the danger of

infection of the quarter, which cannot

always be avoided. It is a good plan

not to interfere with the teats, only





Growth in Cow’s Teat.-—Six-year—old

cow has always had good health, but

there is a grizzle formed in one of her

teats a half-inch from the end and

we cannot get. the milk to come out

unless we use a tube. At first the

milk is thick. like gal-get. .After it runs

a minute it is as clear as any cow’s

milk. She hasn’t any fever and she

eats well. H. S.——When using the milk

tube, always sterilize by boiling, and

wash the teat before using. The use

of the milk tube is advisable in a case

of this kind. Your veterinarian can

no doubt remove the growth, though

operations on teats are occasionally

followed by mastitis, even when all

precautions have been taken.





Minerals—“mat is the cause and

cure for cattle picking up and eating

chicken droppings? Under what con-

ditions would you advise prepared min-

l‘erals for live stock? A. D.——This habit

is no doubt due to a desire for min-

erals. Give them a tablespoonful

and common salt. ‘ Or 60 pounds can

be added to each ton of feed. Miner-

WHEAT





\Vlieat prices had a fair rally in the

past week. Reports of rains in Argen—

tina, where harvest is in progress,

strength at Liverpool due to the small

stocks abroad, and speculative short

corering caused the upturn. Basic con-

ditions have not strengthened mate-

rially, however, as wheat appears to

be backing up in Canada, and increas-

ed competition from the southern hem-

isphere will be felt in another month.

Barring some influence, such as con-

tinued wet weather in Argentina, it is

doubtful if the downward tendency of

prices has been wholly checked. But

no drastic decline is indicated, owing

to small European supplies of wheat.





RYE





In the last two weeks, 583,000 bush-

els of rye have been exported and

some additional sales reported. The

rye market remains rather weak, how-

ever. as there is still an exportable

surplus of probably 20,000,000 bushels,

and enough of it is piled up at term-

inals in the form of a visible supply



. of 13,485,000 bushels to have a rather

depressing effect.





CORN





Corn prices have shown a_steady

tone. in the past week. Receipts at

primary markets have been only one—

fourth as large as three or four weeks

ago, and demand from the east has

shown a little improvement. Increases

in stocks at terminals have been small

in the last ten days. Besides the more

favorable cash situation, speculative

buying has increased as a result of re-

ports of poor husking returns, and

probable delay in the movement of the

new crop to market owing to the bad

weather. Someone must be willing to

assume and maintain ownership of the

stocks at terminals, which now total

31,661,000 bushels, until consuming





buyers appears.

OATS





- The demand for cats still lacks real

breadth, so that prices are draggy in

spite of moderate primary receipts.

Both corn and oats prices are due to

' advance substantially by spring, but

. t the time when the advance will really-

start is hard to fathom. ’

SEEDS





Red clover and alsike seed have both

followed an upward trend recently and

higher prices are expected. Many

growers are inclined to hold on to

theirired clover seed in anticipation

of increased returns, but the move-

ment is free on the whole. Alsike clo-

ver seeld prices are the highest in

years, and the crop is being moved

faster than the average for the past.





five years.

FEEDS





The feed market has strengthened

in response to the heavier demand fol-

lowing the colder weather- \Vhea’t

feeds are working higher and gluten

feed and alfalfa meal are steady. The

increased estimate of the cotton crop

indicates large supplies of cotton seed

meal, but farmers are said to be slow

in delivering seed to the crushers.





BUTTER





The butter market has continued on

its upward march and prices are now

higher than at this time a year ago.

Supplies of fancy grades of fresh but—

ter are still scarce, storage butter is

being distributed rapidly, so that the-

surplus over a year ago is disappear-

ing, and consumptive demand remains

good in spite of the higher prices, so

that, statistically, the market contin-

ues in a strong position. Production

is believed to be at the turning point

for the season, however, and receipts

of fresh butter are expected to be

more plentiful before December. Un—

settled prices for butter. in foreign

markets have made imports possible,

and some Danish has arrived at New

York, .with some New Zealand due

soon. Such shipments will tend to

check advances in our market.

strictly fresh eggs were reached last

week as offerings were insufficient to

take care of the demand. Production

is at low ebb for the season, and qual—

APPLES





The apple market is still dominated

by heavy supplies which are far in

excess of the slow demand. Good firm

apples are strong, ’but poor stock does

not sell for enough, in many cases, to

pay for handling. Michigan and New

York A-Zlé-inch Baldwins are quoted

at $3.25@3.50 per barrel at Chicago,

with Illinois Jonathans at $4@4.50.





WOOL ,





The wool market has not emerged

from the period of dullness which set

in early in November, although trad-

ing is slightly more active than a week

ago. Ohio delaines at Boston are'held

at 46c, grease basis, but the sales are

small. Clean cost figures $1.12@1.15,

which is slightly higher than best lines

of fine territory, which have been fav-

ored in consequence. The market on

foreign merino wools remains firm, so

that domestic handlers are not inclin-

ed to reduce their asking prices.





POTATOES





Demand for potatoes has been quiet

during the past week and with ar-

rivals fairly liberal, prices have held

barely steady. Growers have: shut

down on .shipments, again, however,

and the market is expected to strength-

en. Dealers have been buying on _a

very limited scale, supplying only im-

mediate needs, so that their stocks are

not large, and buying from this source

probably would increase at any Sign

of higher prices. Northern round

L‘AMB MARKET STAGES com-:- .

. BACK. ‘





 





After dropping to new lows for the

season, with the Chicago top at $13,

the lamb market has had a swift come-

back in the past week. Top-fed west-

erns sold up to $14.25, closing‘at‘ $14.

Receipts declined 15 per cent and are

not much larger than a; year ago. They

are smaller than the five-year average

at this season, whereas, heretofore,

they have been running considerably

ahead of normal. The previous decline

in fat lamb prices checked the demand

for feeders, so that shipments to the

country from leading markets in No-

able acreage of beans were not har-

vested on account of the wet weather.

Hay brings $15 per ton; potatoes $1.50

per bushel.—J.



lonia Co. -——Less than the usual acre-

age of wheat was seeded this fall and

not much fall plowing has been done

because of wet weather. Too much

moisture also did extensive damage to

our bean crop. A large number of cat-

tle have been purchased for winter

feeding, at about 70. Wheat brings

$1. 25; beans $4 60; potatoes $1. 20 per

bushel; milk $2. 30; butter-fat 510;



eggs 500. ——J.

fall plowing. Live stock is in good

condition. Milk brings $2.10; butter

500; eggs 55c; hay $12; wheat $120;

rye 72c; potatoes $1. 25; hogs $11. 50

@12.—R. W.



Shiawassee Co.—Little- fall plowing

has been done. The amount of stock

feeding will be below normal, but the

stock coming from pasture is in good

condition. Potatoes are scarce and

prices have advanced. There is plenty

of roughage to carry feeding through.

Eggs bring 55@58c; butter 510; hay

$8@10 per ton; wheat $1. 25; poultry

is plentiful. Beans are a. poor crop,

with moisture high and pick heavy.

Not many are coming to market. ——G.



Cheboygan Co. ——Stock ghes into win~

ter in fair condition. Usual amount

of stock is being wintered. There is

a. fair supply of hay and roughage for

feeding, but not enough grain. Oats

bring 520; wheat $1.10; rye 700; beans

$4. 74 per ’hundredweight; hay $13; po

tatoes $1. There is not a great deal

of fall plowing being done on account

the Separator





We will send an imported Belgian Melotte Cream Separator direct.to your farm and you

don’t pay us a cent for 4 months.‘ We make this offer because we know there is no other

separator in the world equal to the Melotte and we want to prove it to you. 'USe it just as ,

if it were your own machine. You may have 30-day free trial. At the end of that time you



can make up your mind whether you want to keep the separator or send it back at, our

expense. .Put it to every possible test. Compare it with any or all others. The Melotte is

easy to keep clean and sanitary because it has so much less tinware than other. separators have.-

Turns so [easily that bowl spins 25 minutes after you stop cranking unless brake is applied.

No other separator has or needs a brake.

The Melotte Bowl hangs from one friction-

less ball bearing and spins like a top. With-

out any rebalancing it skims as perfectly after

three, five or even twenty years of service as

when new. Furthermore, neither wear nor

usage can ever throw the Melotte Bowl out

of balance—cannot vibrate and thus muse

cross currents which waste cream by remix-

ing with milk. Send coupon below today.
