Polarine is one of the major products of the
Standard Oil Company (Indiana). There are
different grades of Polarine especially made
for different types of tractors. One of these
grades is exactly right for your tractor.

‘1 Polarine was produced by careful scientific

work. Men of long experience and training in
the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) studied
farm lubricating problems on the V farm.
They developed an oil to meet farm needs.

Polarine is the resul t-—an oil which gives
maximum lubricating efficiency at a mini~
mum cost. Polarine is a money-saver.

So far we have depended on

‘the weather and the regular up and

 

down swing of years of depression fol-
lowing years of high prices.

I believe that if every potato grower
adopted a permanent constructive ro—
tation of farm crops, one that would

' best build up his soil and include the

greatest variety of crops that could

Vprofitably be grown on his particular
~ farm, we would have the most reason-
*able solution of the problem.

I be-
lieve we will have come the nearest
to that solution when alfalfa becomes

I. the principal seeding for the hay crop.

Alfalfa will encourage a longer rota-
tion of crops. If we have had a three
or four-year rotation, and change to a.

' five or six-year rotation, we will re-

Alfalfa is the great fertilizer factory

fertility and
and by those wonderful little nodules
gathering great quantities of nitrogen
from the air.

Alfalfa will encourage keeping more

live stock, and so furnish more manure '

to get larger yields per acre. Alfalfa
and barnyard manure will fill the
ground with vegetable matter and
make an ideal seedbed for the reten-
tion of moisture and the profitable use

' ,of commercial fertilizer.

We believe there 'is little danger of

As the qualityimproves, consumption

solve itself with alfalfa as the step-
ping stone or the key.

I am not talking sweet clover for
the potato grower, for the one reason
that it encourages too short a rotation,
and I think we should each do our part
in keeping down the acreage.

While we feel a little shy about en-
couraging growing bigger crops of. po-

 

 

tatoes, it is for the interest of us all
to grow crops of better grade and qual-
ity, and I think if every grower would
follow as near as possible the rules
laid down for certified seed growers,
we would do much toward reaching
that end.

We like to apply manure in the sum-
mer to our sod, and if it has run large-

plow this in and sow rye. We some
times manure again on the rye in the
Winter for spring to get a big early
growth. Then, before there is danger
of getting too dry, the rye is disked in
and the ground is plowed again. In
this way we get a fine seedbed, well
filled with vegetable matter. We have
always found 500 to 600 pounds of
high-grade commercial fertilizer to pay
well, even with this amount of ma-

plants a quick start and we believe
the, phosphate, especially, improves
the quality.

than sixteen inches apart in‘ the row.

Many farmers have hesitated to adopt
close planting, fearing they would get
too large a per cent of small potatoes
and that they would have trouble con-
trolling weeds.

By careful observation and compari-
son over a period of twelve years, we
have never found that our' potatoes
planted close with a machine, suffered
from dry weather any more than those
planted in hills and cultivated both
ways, nor was there any greater per
cent of small ones. As for weed con-
trol, it is easier with row culture than
hill culture, if properly managed.

The planter ridges should be leveled
soon after planting, with a spring—
tooth drag with a plank float attached,
The ground should
be dragged frequently until there is
danger of breaking off the young
sprouts. If grass and weeds are show-
ing up at the time the potatoes are
coming up, the two~horse cultivator is
set so as to roll some soil into the
row, covering the weeds and potatoes.
This, too, is the time the deep culti-
vation is given close to the row. If
weeds are again showing up' at the
time of the next cultivation, in a week
or ten days, more soil is rolled into the
row. We believe in doing this any-
way, and we never have sunburned
potatoes, and there is very little dan-
ger of freezing deep enough to reach
them in the fall. I

We usually cultivate once more—
narrow—with one horse. I believe
many growers cultivate too much and
too deeply. As soon as the vines shade
the ground, cultivating should cease.

We are sure it pays to spray early
and often with Bordeaux, for. the hop-
per, if for no other reason. Especially
is this important on the early varie-
ties. I venture to say that if the soil
is good enough for early potatoes, a

Says it With Sweet CIOVer

F you are looking for a crop to put
some ginger into that tired-out
back forty, try sweet clover. If
you are running shy on summer pas~
ture for the dairy herd, plant sweet
clover. - If the sheep have slim pick-
ing on the old June grass sod, run
them on some sweet clover. If the
market looks good, harvest a field of
sweet clover for seed. For good meas-
ure, sow some sweet clover with each
of your grain crops, so you will be

these contingencies. .
I listened to Amos L. Wright, of
Deckerville, telling a. group of farmers

“Alfalfa is the crop for hay all
right”, he told his‘ neighbors at the
meeting. “It is finer, leafier, and can
be sold on the market when you have
a surplus. But sweet clover has it on
alfalfa for pasture. At least, it has in
my experience. I suppose five sweet
clover growers could get up here and
talk, and each would have his own
way of handling the crop—~and each
way would be good.

“Here is how I handle it on my
farm. I sow it alone in early spring
when the ground is honey-combed. I
use my own seed, which has not been
scarified, and I use lots of it. One
time I had County Agent John Martin

had a little better stand. So, since
then I have used plenty of seed, prob-

we handle that nicely. About June 1,
I get in there with a mower and clip
the sweet clover down to the ground.
In the first year, this clipping of the
sweet clover doesn’t hurt it a bit, but
in the second year close clipping would
finish it.

“After that June first clipping, I give
it about a month, and then on July 1,
when it is usually about fifteen inches

on, the weeds haven’t a chance. Sheep

not spread. My seed has always been
very clean, well above ninety-nine per

“It’s the seeding of sweet clover

VOLUME CLXVlll NUMBER SEVENTEEN

DETROIT, APR. 23, 1927

CURRENT COMMENT
HERE will be no

farm trespass leg-

No Tres. islation passed at this
pa“ Leg!" term of the Michigan
lotion Legislature, according

to statements of mem-
bers of the House committee on con-
servation before a group of farm peo-
ple at Lansing last week. That is,
there will be no legislation on this sub-
‘ject unless such a. flood of dissenting
letters from farm people make it seem
politically expedient to our legislators
to take some immediate action along
this line.

The members of the conservation
committees of both Houses tried to
argue against action on this measure
before the farm folks who had been
invited to Lansing by Secretary Brody,
of the Michigan State Farm Bureau.
One representative declared that to
give the farmer authority to keep oth-
er people off his property while he
was free to go about the property him-
self, was class legislation. Another
took the position that it was neces-
sary to run over the farmer’s land to
secure game which belongs to every-
body. Still a third suggested that the
farmers should not seek legislation to
relieve them from their present dilem-
ma, but rather should start an educa-
tional campaign to train our city peo-
pie to know that it is naughty to go
upon the property of others.

The reader, of course, can well un-
. derstand how far this talk went with
the farm folks who had suffered prop-
erty damage, and who have stood by
while irresponsible people heaped in-
. dignlties upon them when protesting
,- against the misuse of property.

- Unless the protests from farmers
are too vigorous, a number of senators
- and representatives now have this
. whole subject in the position they de-
sire. The Senate has passed the Hor-
‘ ton bill after eliminating all the pro-
visions for “its enforcement. The
' Hausa has ..

. M.
t in.“

    

passed the Brake Bill,

which. would; make it necessary " an?

hunters ' and 4' fishermen to secure the
written consent of farmers before hunt-
ing upon their farms. Having passed
a measure "on this general subject in
each House, the two bodies now show
a disposition of not wanting to get to-
gether, according to the opinions of
members of both Houses.

This situation will furnish campaign
material for two audiences—the farm-
er and the sportsman. When the next
election is here, candidates for re-elec-
tion can solicit the farmer’s vote on
his record of voting for the anti-tres-
pass bill at this session. He can also
make it plain to the sportsmen that he
blocked the effort of the farmers to
secure anti-trespass legislation. The
farmers realize, of course, that a meas-
ure half way through the Legislature
is of absolutely no service to them.

There is just one hope on this sub-
ject during the present session, and
that is, for every voter who reads this
column to write his senator and rep-
resentative a strong letter telling him
just what he thinks about the whole
situation. This will need to be done
promptly, since the present session
will probably close within a week or
ten days. ‘

  
 

S stated in anoth-

Chicken or column in this
Thieving issue, the two bills
. passed by the House
31118 dealing with chicken

thieving, have been
acted upon favorably by the agricul-
tural and judicial committees of the
Senate. One of these measures, House
Bill No. 19. introduced by Representa-
tive Hall, has already passed the Sen-
ate by unanimous vote with only a
few minor amendments. The other
measure, House Bill No. 167, introduc—
ed by Representative Huff, will prob-
ably be acted upon before the reader
receives this issue. The chances are,
however, that these measures may
have to go to conference committees,
for which reason it would be well for
farmers to keep close watch lest their
usefulness be impaired by some last
moment changes. Bills are never safe
until” they have been made laws
through the signature of the executive.
Much credit is due the Michigan State
Farm Bureau for the hearing planned
on these measures. As a result of this
hearing. they were promptly reported
out by the committees and brought
before the Senate for action.

0 one can tell at

0 this time what

R d sort of a tax law, if

. "a any, will be enacted
Fmancmg by this Legislature for

meeting the expense

of building and maintaining roads in

the state. Seemingly over night, sen«

timent changes from one position to
another.

The idea that appears now to be

crystallizing ’
advance the gastax'to four cents per
gallon, provide permanent license
plates for cars, and annual license
fees, graduated according to weight
for trucks. Sentiment for this program
seems to be growing. The alternative
is to let the present statute stand, un-
less something like the above can be
enacted into law.

It appears that the administration
favored a three cent gas tax and no
change in the license arrangement, be-
cause it was thought that such a law
would be the only one possible to pass,
and capable of providing the needed
funds. Since there is now more gen-
eral support for the four cent tax and
the change to the permanent license,
the administration assured promoters
of this idea that it would be supported,
providing it could be passed by the
Legislature. .

Farmers take the stand that an in-
creased gas tax ought to reduce, or
eliminate, some other tax. This the
above four-cent gas tax plan does, and
it is this provision largely, that has
gained for the measure so much rural
support. Many city groups also look
upon it favorably, which gives hope
for its ultimate adoption.

HE U. S. Depart-

The Auk” ment of Agricul-
. ture recently made a
motwe study of the standards
Farmer of living of 2,800 farm

families living east of
the Rockies. The investigation reveal-
ed that nearly three-fourths of the
farm homes lack running water, kitch-
en sinks and electric lights. Only one
fifth possessed any form of indoor mod-
ernization, and only one in twenty
was classed as completely modern.
But, two-thirds of the farmers had au-
tomobiles.

This does not indicate that the farm-
er uses his money unwisely, but that
he is much like the rest of the people
in this country. We can not draw a
parallel between country and city in
the matter of modern home conven~
iences, as in the city such things are
often compulsory from the standpoint
of sanitation, fire protection, etc, but
we know that many city folks do with-
out the necessities of life in order to
possess a car. In most cases the city
folk want autos for ple‘asure to enable
them to get out among green fields
away from confusion and congestion.
The farmer undoubtedly has a thought
of pleasure in the purchase of an auto,
but it is almost a necessity for him,
because distance is a greatfactorin
his mode of living. The time spent on
the roads with old methods of travel
is time wasted; the auto has eliminat-
ed much of this waste.

We cannot view with alarm, as some
have, this tendency of the farmer to-
ward automobiles as shown in this ag-
ricultural department inVestigation.

ture springs spring on us, and we

means a lot of things. To the poet it

Nature getting out from .under the
blankets of white from her sleep,
ready to go to work again. There ain’t
nothing that gets a poet to work as
easily as spring, unless it’s love.
There’s two things there’s more poetry
written about than anything else. And
there’s lots 0’ folkses that no one ever

apples and apes, have lovetime. And
us superior beings—ewe get the itCh,
too, and get it so bad it sometimes
lasts us a life time. The disease af-
fects folkses different. Some are hap-
py, though married, while others get
sloppy and marred. Some think they
have to fight the disease all the time,
so it’s a' continual fight fer them.

But spring means something differ-

 

 

ent to the farmer than it means to lov--

ers and poets. It means muddy roads
and sloppy weather—it’s rubber-boot
time for the farmer. It’s time to get
busy, It’s when you got to leave your
bed springs early in the morning and
spring into work, and that ain’t got
nothing to' do with the garden of Eden.
You know nature is got it all fixed up

to see, but in the winter when he

Then,
too, she makes the roosters to crow

It just seems like nature is got it‘

The best thing for this poet’s inspir-

ation stuff is to get up at four o’clock-
A. M., and work around in the mud all

FRIEND asked the other day,

.“What are you going to feed the

hens when the borers get all the
corn?” It naturally brings up thoughts
or the effect of the corn borer on the
future. of the poultryman. It is my
opinion that poultrymen have less to
.fear from the corn borer than the feed-
ers of other live stock. A small quan-
tity of corn can be made to go a long
.,ways in the ration of‘a flock of hens,
. ’while it does not go so far in the feed-
.ing of hogs.

“Possibly poultry ranging in a corn
field may not be of value in destroying
or preventing the spread of the borer.
The scientists will have to tell us
about it as their experience increase.
But here is something I have noticed.
A poultry range is soon practically de-
void of insect life. Even though the
clover sod makes a nice green mat
over the range, the grass is more like
it had been cut by a mower than a
deep” growth where insect life can
hide.

On such a range I can seldom find
beetles or bugs of any kind. Ant hills
are soon scratched up and destroyed,
and the ants flee to more favorable
districts. If a moth appears on the
range, the poultry chase it through
the air and ,devour every one that
lights. Early in the morning the hens
gather many night-flying moths and
small flying insects while they are
resting on the grass and larger plants.

Plum trees near poultry houses show
very little damage from plum curculio
even though the trees receive no spray-
ing. Apples raised on a poultry range
without spraying, will show some in-
jury, but seem to show much less in-
jury than appears in an unsprayed or-
chard where poultry are not dusting
and ranging under the trees at all
times. Even the angleworms become
less abundant on some poultry ranges,
and would probably be destroyed en-
tirely if the fertility of the soil, due to
poultry manure, did not encourage
their presence.

, . It is too much to say that poultry
, is a. means of fighting the corn borer,
because its damage is largely done on

birds may devour.

the inside away from spray dope and
birds. But, judging what happens to
insect life where poultry is abundant,

I feel that the corn fields where flocks

of poultry are ranging may show con-

ful in fighting bird life to a 100 per
cent victory. No corn borers have
been located in our adjacent district
as yet. When the moths come flitting

Dividing the Poultry Industry.

Every year we see a greater line of
division between the 4_ strictly commer-
cial egg producer and the breeder who
sells baby chicks and pedigreed breed-
ing stock. There is considerable cost,
and a lot of work required, to carry
out R. O. P. work, trapnesting, blood
testing, and the correspondence which
must be handled in the marketing of
chicks and pedigreed breeding stock.

The managing of a large hatchery
is becoming more and more a special-
ized business, and the price at which
chicks of quality are sold means that

a hatcheryman must be successful in ‘

hatching a large number of fine grade
chicks in order to make his business
profitable at the present time. Many
poultrymen who had little interest in
hatchery chicks a few years ago are
now buying them by the thousands.
They have found that the operator of
a large incubator can afford to devote
all his time to the work. This helps
to prevent overheating or chilling of
the eggs during the process of incuba-
tion, and results in chicks with a
stronger spark of life.

The commercial poultryman can
now simplify his business if he wishes
to do so, and turn all of the breeding

The Cemmunity Spirit

Some I ncz'a’em‘r W fiz'c/z Demomtmz‘e it

OUR years ago we moved into this

community, going in debt for our
fifty-acre farm. Our neighbors were
very friendly and very good to 11s,
'especially during the sickness of my
wife and" child.

Then, three years ago our house and
half of the contents were destroyed by
fire. The fact that we had good neigh-
bors is the only reason why we saved
the barn and half of the contents of
the house. Our neighbors all wanted
-‘us to come and stay with them, and
the use of a house nearby was donated
by one neighbor. When we again
started to keep house we had every-
thing along the line of things we had
lost in the fire—all donated by neigh-
‘ here.

Since then, ,and at the present time,
if they do anything for us they insist
that we owe them nothing while, if
we help them it is almost impossible
to get out of taking pay for it. Our
neighbors do not neighbor back and
forth as much as in some communi-
‘-ties, but still they are right there if
one is in need. A friend in need‘is a
friend indeedi—Avery Bigelow.

 

One day the minister told of a babe
"who was suffering with pneumonia.
The family lived on one' side of our
community, and Was in extremely poor

doctor was just about impossible.

After talking with our minister I de-
cided to see if I could assist the fam-
ily in any way. I asked a neighbor
lady to go with me to sit up and care
for the baby through the night.

I told a few neighbors of the cir-
cumstances. One lady sent pillow cas-
es, (there were none on the pillows),
one sent a baby’s night dress and a.
little skirt. We took groceries, and
also t0'ok a large dinnerpail apiece,
each packed full. We ate our supper
before we left home, and our midnight
supper we ate from our pails, giving to
the family also.

After arriving there we made the

little one as comfortable as possible

with fresh poultices, clean pillowcases,
and different little things the young
mother did not understand how to do.

Help came too late, as the baby died
in thenight. The mother was heart-
broken, and clung to us.

At home the next morning we again
told the story to anxious neighbors, of
how death came, and their circum-
stances. One gave cloth for a little
shroud, another made it. New shoes
were taken for the mother, provisions
for the family. A little casket was

"provided, the minister took charge of

the funeral.
Had we known of the sickness earl-
ier, we might have been able to save

~~the baby 3 life, as an we‘re willing to
,fi,,essist in any way possible—Mrs. 13.1w.

' HE highway finance situation
which has been one of the big
problems confronting this ses-

sion, is being brought to a focus. The
bills by Senator George Leland, of
Fennville, and Burton G. Cameron, of
Charlotte, which would boost the gas
tax to three cents without any weight
tax relief, are being considered.
A compromise highway program
more in accordance with the desires
of Michigan farmers, has made its ap-
pearance in the House. It is embodied
in new bills proposed by Representa-
tive C. J. Town, of Onondaga, and Rep-
resentative John Goodwine, of Mar-
iette. The Town bill provides for a.
four-cent gas tax, while the Goodwine
bill, would do away with the annual
automobile license and provide per-
manent plates for passenger cars at
the cost of fifty cents per cwt.

The annual license on light trucks
would also be materially reduced, ac‘
cording to the following proposed
schedule: Up to 2,500 pounds, 40c;
2,500 to 4,000, 600; 4,000 to 6,000, $1.00;
and above 6,000, $1.25.

It is said that Governor Green is not

grams is adopted as long as it makes
provision for sufficient revenue. It is
reported that he thinks there is more
chance of passing the three-cent gas
tax program, but in both the Senate
and House it appears that any gas tax
iincrease will be frowned upon unless
there is Some sort of adjustment in
the weight tax schedule.

committees on conservation have not

of Michigan farmers toward hunters

Efarm property without consulting the

iof these two committees put their feet
under the same tables with a goodly

"Milk, milk everywhere, but no mar-
ket," may be the lament of dairymen
in southeastern Michigan after New
Year’s Day.
that the city of Detroit has adopted a.
milk ordinance that, afte January 1,

i
1928, no milk may be sod in thatl

metropolis which does not come from
herds tested for tuberculosis under
state and federal supervision.

Unaccredited counties in the Detroit l

milk area include Macomb, St. Clair,
Sanilac, Lapeer,
Jackson and Saginaw. These counties
are either on the waiting list, or the
clean-up work is now in progress.
Each of these counties has provided
the necessary county money, and the
testing can be carried out just as rap-

idly as state funds are available—and, .

no faster.

In View of this emergency, a large
delegation of dairymen appeared be‘
fore legislative committees recently,
requesting that an additional approp
riation be granted for state indemni-
ties on condemned and slaughtered tu~
bercular cattle. The amount asked for
was $100,000 in addition to the regu-
lar annual budget of $250,000.

Not only has the Senate refused to
grant any portion of this requested in-
crease, but it has cut $20,000 fro-m the
regular operating expenses of the de-
partment having this work in charge.
If the House doesn’t take a more lib-
eral view of the crisis confronting
southeastern Michigan dairymen, some
farmers aren’t going to have “A Very
Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year."

. on sweet clover I have never had a .
.‘_‘eull lamb, and I used to have plenty , "
' of them. .

“Several years ago, I weighed in my

lambs with. a neighbor whose fleck .

beat mine tWenty pounds per lamb.
The next year we weighed together
again—and again his beat mine tWen-
ty pounds to the lamb. I didn’t like
that, because I thought I had the bet~

I ‘ter breeding, but I said to him, ‘Frank,

,how do you do it?’ He said be guessed
it was the sweet clover.
I started with the crop.

“Two years later, we weighed in to-
gether-and my lambs, a month young-
er than Frank’s, beat his by just twen-
ty-one pounds to the lamb.

“I said, ‘What’s the matter, Frank?’
and he answered, ‘I ran out of sweet
clover.’ '

“That is why I credit my sweet clo-
ver with putting on twenty extra
pounds per lamb.

“In the second year of a sweet clo-
ver stand, I pasture from early spring
until July 1, when the new seedingis
ready. Then I turn into the new stuff
and let the old go to seed. My aver—
age for six years has been a yield of
nine bushels per acre. That is just a
kind of a by-product of my pasture
and soil fertilityprogram which makes
up my main reason for growing sweet
clover. '

“I cut the seed crop with the binder
when sixty per cent of the pods are
brown, and I tie it in large sheaves.
I out just as high as possible, and the
bundles never touch the ground, but
rest on the tall stiff stubble. Some-
times I shook that with a fork and
sometimes I let it go, but up there on
the tall stubble it never spoils.

“After threshing, I put the straw in
a low place in the yard and let the
stock trample on it. In a couple of
years what is left is well rotted, and
I spread it on the clay knolls where it
is most needed.

.“Sometimes I cut a little for hay.
This is out just as. the buds start, us-

‘ing a binder set to cut above the low-

er branches, so I can get a second
cropp You must out high in the sec-
ond season, as the growth then come-s
from the lower branches and not from
the crown.

“Using the binder and putting the
sweet clover in small sheaves shocked
in two rows, makes good hay. The
outside gets discolored, but that
doesn’t get into the sheaf at all, efnd
the inside is green and leafy. '

“The cow eats the leaves and top
half of the plants, and the horses chew
up the butts for appetizers.

“I prefer the common, or large type
sweet clover, as the dwarf is earlier
and doesn’t give so much pasture, its
hay yields are smaller and there isn’t
as’much root to plow under.

“The plowing under of the roots and
stubble is one of the best features of
the crop. The roots rot so fast after
I cut my seed, that the soil is porous
and mellow all the way through. With
the ordinary crop a sort of hard-pan
forms just under the furrow slice on
our soil and this slows up drainage
and delays the time when you can
work the land in the spring. Where
I have sweet clover, the deep roots
penetrate this hard layer of soil and
then rot out. The spring moisture
gets away so much better here, that I
can plow that land when the horses
would mire in the other fields.” ‘

Such is Mr. Wright’s experience with
sweet clover, told in his own way. I
am convinced that thousands of Mich-
igan farmers can put sweet clover,
formerly something of a. crop outcast,
to work in their systems of fanning
and get just as much service out of it
as has this business like Deckerville
farmer.

But I learned how to save
money on binder twine

BY A THRIFTY FARMER

I bought Plymouth Twine for years. Always was satis—
fied—never thought of switching. Then a friend told me
I could save money on twine that was “just as good”.
I sure learned a lot of unpleasant things about twine
that year.

You see, the season before with just as big a crop, I
harvested 81 acres with 25 balls of Plymouth. So I figured
25 balls of the cheaper twine would be plenty. But that

“just as good” twine bound only 73 acres. I Was 8 acres
short—had to go into town and get three extra balls. You.
can bet they were Plymouth!

Plymouth really cheaper

Then I saw it clearly—Plymouth always ran its full
guaranteed length per pound. The other twine was always
short—many balls were several hundred feet short. Iwas
really losing money (in the “so called” cheap twine.

Plyntouth saves grief

Not only that—the cheaper twine would break every
little while. That meant loose bundles—time Spent in
re—threading—and grain lost. Plymouth Twine has never
given me the slightest grief. I’ve come back to Plymouth
for keeps, and no more “just as good” stories will ever
tempt me to try other twines.

*Plymouth Twine is spun 500, 550, 600 and 650 feet
to the pound. Look for guaranteed length on tag.

Plymouth—more economical: 1

. It’s longer—full length to the pound
as guaranteed on the tag;

. It’s stronger— less breaking, less wasted
time, less wasted grain;
. It’s evener—no thick or thin spots

its smell;

You can easily rest Plymouth's length per pound
against any other twine. The experiment pictured at
the left has been made frequently.

Take a ball of Plymouth and any twine of the
same weight and tagged as being the same length per
pound and unwind them down the road. Then
measure the length. Plymouth Twine wins out—7%

This crou-eeetionel
view about how
the working parts on
the John Deere are,
full enclosed and
auto eticelly oiled.

No Other Farm Engine
Has These Advantages—5-

—complete enclosure of all important working
parts within a dust-proof case;

——an automatic oiling system that does away with
all sight feed oilers and grease cups;

. -——an engine that will run until the fuel is exhausted

without one moment’s attention;

-—-—no gears exposed or shafts extended on which
clothing might be caught—unusually safe for the
boys and women folks to operate.

These are a few of the outstanding features in the John Deere Type E
Gasoline Engine that you are sure to want in your engine—advantages
that mean longer service, lower upkeep costs and easier operation.

See the John Deere Type E at your John Deere dealer’s. It’s a real
advancement in farm engine building. Built in 1-1/2; 3 and 6 H. P.
sizes. You can also get a John Deere Direct Drive Pumping Outfit.

MOST FARM AUTOMOBILES INSURED
IN THE HOWELL COMPANY

In 1915 the Howell company started in a small
way in writing farmers and business men in the small
towns for automobile insurance, and for twelve seasons
this company has led all others in farm busmess. Many
of its officers and directors are owners of farms, and
the company has always given a spec1al rate to cover
the country districts of the state. The company has
~ handled more automobile insurance than any other
company in the state of Michigan, and. the farmers of
the state are proud of the record this company has
made in building up its assets. The company has suc-
ceeded because it has stayed in a Single state, thereby
concentrating its business efforts. The companies that
have spread over many states have found it unprofit-
able, and during the past twelve years s1x companies
have either failed or retired.

Why take chances With-a new company, or one
with a business in many states, when you can stay in
this company that has made a success. In .case of a
serious loss, you can 0 to the home office in a short
time and meet the o cers, who Will cooperate and

REPORTS ON POST PRESERVA-
’ TION.

 

OME interesting data are given in,
a report from Iowa State College,
as to the progress inrthe experiments
which the forestry section has had
under way for twenty years or more,
to test the durability of the. various
softwood fence posts after being treat:
ed with creosote and other preserva-
tives. In all cases, where a reason‘
ably good penetration of the creosote
was obtained, the posts have deterior-
ated little in the twenty-year period.
Results depend almost entirely on the
penetration of the preservative into
the portion of the wood which is un-
der ground, or just above the ground
line. These experiments demonstrate
very definitely that such fence post
woods as willow, cottonwood, bass-
wood, soft maple, box elder, and oth-
ers, will have a period of service of
twenty to thirty years if given a good
open tank treatment of creosote.
These woods last from three to four
years when untreated.

Three years ago an experiment in
connection with the Tama Indian Res-
ervation was started to find out if wa-
ter gas tar, which is much cheaper
than creosote, could be used effective—
ly in treating fence posts. About‘1,500
cottonwood posts were used. A care-
ful examination of these posts three
years after they were set, showed
practically no deterioration in any of
them.~—-I. D.

IMPROVISED LIGHTING PLANT.

 

_Would it be possible to put up a
lighting plant out of a Ford generator
and battery, or batteries? I have a
two-horsepower gas engine I could use
to drive generator. Would like to use
about four lights of Ford bulb power
for three or four hours evenings at a
cottage of mine up north. I under
stand that this outfit will not in any
way equal a light plant. I will run
pump with the engine, so I think- I
could operate said light outfit at the
same time, and in that way reduce the
cost. Have most of the parts on hand.
——A. E. H. ~

Since you are operating the engine
for pumping purposes, it would be
practical to operate the generator also
for charging a battery. You would
have to use a three-cell, or six-volt
storage battery. If you wished larger
storage capacity you could use two of
the six-volt batteries in parallel, that
is, from the negative of the generator,
the line should run to both negatives
of the batteries, and the positive gen-
erator should run to both positive

 

 

 

terminals of the battery.——F. E. Fogle.

KEEPING WATER FROM BASE-

; MENT.

 

We have a twelve-foot basement,
with seven feet below surface. Frost
rarely goes overone foot deep, on ac-
count of deep snow. The bulk of the
basement is, therefore, six feet below
frost line. The floor is concrete, and
water tight, but two sides are subject
to water seepage in two weeks of each
spring break up. The seepage is very
slow, being about a barrel a day for
fifty feet of the two sides referred to.
Could this be remedied by plastering
the two sides of the wall in question
with one inch of good cement mixture,
such as is done with a cistern or silo?
—P. P. B. ‘

Water-proofing aphasement can be
done by treatment on the exterior of
thewall or on the interior. Treating
the exterior is a simpler matter, and
could, no doubt, be dohe by a local
mechanic. It would be necessary to
remove the dirt to the depth of the
wall, clean the wall and apply a coat-
ing of hot asphaltum, or in case of a
smooth concrete wall, it could be

‘ cleaned and given a coat or cement

HOW ‘ H E GROWS ' POTATOES.

 

(Continued on page 557).
thorough spraying will double the
yield. Poison should be added if flea.
beetles and potato bugs are present.
Bordeaux mixture is very effective, and
easy to make.

Every farmer should have a. portion
of his field set aside as a seed plot,
and take special pains roguelng out
diseased plants and weak hills.

Storage of’seed stock is also very
important. If'stored in .a cellar it
should be well ventilated, especially
when the potatoes are first put in, and
then held at a low uniform tempera-
ture. If such conditions can not be

”met in the cellar, seed potatoes should
be pitted. We dig our potato pits four .

feet wide, three or four feet deep, de-
pending on the nature of the soil, and
twenty to twenty-five 'feet long. A
slotted ventilator made of 2x4’s and
potato crate slats or narrow lumber,
in four-foot lengths, is laid the full
length of the bottom and up at the
ends. One end of the pit is slanted
to facilitate shoveling. Some ventila-
tion is also left in the top. All these
vents must be closed before danger of
freezing.

The pits are covered by using a lib—
eral coat of rye straw on the potatoes,
and then about six inches of dirt, then
another coat of straw and another coat
of dirt. By having deep pits there is
always plenty of dirt handy to cover
with.

Potatoes stored in this way have al-
ways come out bright and dry, and we
have never had any freeze.

To sum it all up, there are just four
factors necessary for a good potato
crop—good soil, good seed, goo-d cul-
ture, and good weather.

LINE FENCE.

 

My neighbor tore down the barb
wire line fence which divided his land
from mine. Can we compel him to
put the fence back? He wants to. make
a stump fence. Can we compel him to
made a wire fence instead?——Reader.

The person whose duty it is to build
the fence may choose the material
with which to make it, and cannot be
compelled to leave the old fence, nor
can he be enjoined from building a
fence of stumps, unless his motive is.
to create a nuisance in the form of
an unsightly fence.~Rood.

The ordinary country road is four

the right to raise \crops in the unused
portion of the highway. The driving
of cattle along the highway is a legiti—

plards, kale is bulky, but its tightly
"curled” leaves certainly need close
inspecting. It, too, is deliciéus with
the ham, to which it seems Just suited.
This kale is sometimes called bore-
cole, and it is very hardy. We sow it
in the spring and use it all summer
and fall, but we never have kept it
during the early winter, as many do.
The sea-kale yields a crop the third
year from seed, but is grown often
from root-cuttings, and although it may
be used for greens it is particularly
used as is celery, «the stalks being
blanched in the same way. Its stalks

Then there is the New Zealand spin-
ach, so suggestive of the chard, other
members of the cabbage family, broc-
coli, Brussels sprouts and collards,
the endive and corn salad, black sal-
sify, martynia, artichokes and okra, in
addition to the edible-podded peas
cook-ed like string beans, and the nov-
elties, such as rampion with both roots
and leaves good for salads. Also, there
and old-time
cress.

Swiss chard is so prolific, during
both hot and cold weather, with such

’simple cultural requirements that it is

even more popular than the whole-
some spinach, in spite of the fact that
varieties of the latter with ability to
withstand midsummer heat, are being
offered. Chard is even included by one

famous seed-store as one of twelve

vegetables giving “greatest returns for

’least space and labor.” >And if the

Value of chard as a succulent for ‘con-
fined poultry may be considered, it
ought to be a farm favorite! The New
Zealand spinach has thick, ribbed
stalks, similar 'to the stalks of the
chard, and to be similarly cooked,
while its leaves are somewhat fleshier:
and excellent in quality. It cannot be
planted so early and its seeds require
soaking previous to planting. (Of
course, chard seeds may be soaked,
also, to hasten germination). It
spreads in great, loose masses, so that
a few seeds go a long way. Some gar-
deners plant them in hills rather than
in rows.
not belong to the spinach family at all
and grows throughout the hot weath-

vitamin-seeking gardeners with unde-

mind that it will no doubt ;be widely
known within a short time.

Broccoli and Brussels sprouts are

. somewhat rare, though they are satis-

fying, but in our garden the Brussels

.‘sprouts are seldom ready for use be

.-fore a hard freeze.

are prepared like asparagus. Some of
us like the old distinctive flavors so
well, that we don’t often plant even
the refreshing celery-cabbage with
light-green leaves as delicate as they

look, and sturdy stems which are thick ,

and tasteful. If planted late it is said
that it will not go to seed as early as
ours did last year. Nor do we use the
cel‘eriac, or “turnip-rooted celery,” cel-
ery-like in flavor, and not much bother,
but cooked like a turnip. Like the
kohl-rabi, a delicate turnip, in my es-
timation, it becomes woody unless it
is gathered when tender and rather

. small.

We plant kohl-rabi in open ground
when we plant radishes, then make
successive plantings for summer use
and autumn storage. The celeriac

keeps as well as the kohl—rabi, and,

by the way, can be eaten as a salad
after it has been cooked, because its
3elery-like flavor lends itself well to
such a purpose. The cabbage moths
are relentless toward the kohl-rabi fol-
iage, but the bulbs, the edible portion,
are unharmed. Wireworms usually
ruin our early turnips so we are glad
to welcome the kbhl-rabi, and do our
best to discourage the voracious lar-
vae by various common methods of
eradication.

Cress, garden cress, and upland
c'ress, both very pungent, the latter
more like watercress, are desirable ad-,
ditions to salads, and lack the decided
flavor of parsley which one sees more
frequently. Theeress seemed to lose
favor as the parsley gained, but, of
course, is.far from recent. As to en-
dive and corn salad, they are tempting
for those who feel the necessity for
uncooked greens, but after all, the Cos
lettuce, or romaine, with its tall, rath-

‘er loose heads, may have its inner

leaves whitened, as the crinkled en-
dive leaves should be, and the corn
saladnis not definitely flavored (per-
haps a recommendation). Then, too,
the romaine is a satisfactory “green”
when boiled or steamed, and we know
lettuce habits so well that it gives us
no undue thought.

‘5100 Series”
Planters

       
    
 

A Great Combination
of Time—Proved Features

HE McCormick-Deering “100 Series" planters combine

old, time-proved principles with a simplified design which

insures greater accuracy, a wider range of adaptability, and
easier ways of adapting the planters to the different require-
ments. It: has taken a number of years to perfect this combina-
tion. The result is a series of planters, which have no untried
features. Their superiority lies in the manner in which these
proved principles are combined and applied.

The McCormick-Deering “100 Series" planters are fum-
ished both as check-row planters and drills. The check-row
planter can be quickly set for drilling, and only a moment is

" required to change it to power hill—drop for bunch-drop drilling.
Available with either 30 or 36-inch wheels.

The pea-and-bean and fertilizer attachments are of an im-
proved design, and can be quickly installed both on planters
and drills. if you are looking for a-planter that will plant your
crops accurately and that will require minimum attention, it
will pay you to ask the local McCormick-Deering dealer to
demonstrate a McCormick—Deering "100 Series" planter.

we call the body couldvnot shut in the
glory. It came through, and made
Him radiant. Others have had experi-
ences of a similar nature, but none so
complete and irradiating. St. Francis
of Assisi thought so intensely on the
crucifixion, that the marks, or stig-
mata, appeared in his hands, feet and
side. When Moses came down from
the mountain with the tables of stone
in his hand, his face shone so that He
must needs cover it with a veil. W'hen
Daniel Webster finished his oration at
Bunker Hill, it is
said that for sev-
eral hours his
face had an in-
describably grand
expression, 5 0
that those were
awed who came
into his presence.
W h e 11 Patrick
delivered his im-
mortal speech at Richmond, “Give me
liberty or give me death,” people were
almost transported at the effect Cole
one] Carrington was listening at a
window on the east side of the church,
and cried out, “Let me die and be bur»
led on this spot,” a, wish that was af-
terward complied with. These men
were all, to a degree, ti‘ansfigured, by
the powerful emotions that swept over
them. But none so completely as Christ
was, on the mountain. His is the un~
dying instance of what religion will do
to one when it has complete control of
all his impulses, his whole self, body,
soul, spirit.

 

But even though we are not trans-
formed in an instant by the intensity
of our emotions, as some have been
in rare instances, our character is al-
ways shining through. We cannot con-
ceal it, though we may try never so
hard. Said Emerson, “What you are
speaks so loud that I cannot hear
what You say.” Said Samuel Johnson,
“You could not stand with Burke un-
der an archway While a shower was
passing, without discovering that he
was an extraordinary man.” The stu-
dents of Professor Johannes Muller, of
Berlin, worked by his side in the lab-
oratory, and caught an unbounded en—
thusiasm from him, for science. A
man with dark countenance and sinis~
ter purpose once called on a man to
persuade him to enter a nefarious
scheme. Said the little boy of the lat-
ter, “Papa, make that bad man go
away.”

can almost hear his inner self saying.

to him, “What are you, anyway?” The
New Testament teaches that one day
we will have to look at ourselves just
as we are. If we have hidden behind
lies, that refuge will be swept away.

Who am I? What are you? Do I
believe in anything hard enough to be
transformed by it? 01‘ do my deepest
beliefs deform me?

Prayer transformed Jesus. In his
Excellent book ,“Why Men Pray,” Bish-
op Slattery says, “Whether prayer
changes events or not, of one thing we
are sure: it has made beautiful souls
out of those who lift their hands in
supplication. What would St. Paul
have been had he not‘ prayed? And
who can imagine a St. Francis without
prayer? The modern saints, too, have
been what they were because they
prayed—men of action like ‘Chinese
Gordon,’ men of thought and emotion
like Tennyson .and‘ Browning, ' men of
science like Asa Gray and Louis Pas-,
teur. Their faces-shone because they

lives was changed by prayer.” 1

It looks as though, when we
are not transformed by character, we“

Our Weekly Sermon—«By N A McCun , ' .’ -*

Mr. Boreham, the prolific New Zea:
land author, tells how he ‘once asked
a. minister for whom he had the great-
est admiration, about the efficaéy of
prayer. “Can a. man be quite sure
that; in the hour of perplexity he will
be rightly led? Can he feel secure
against a false step?” Says Boreham.
“I shall never forget his reply. He
sprang from his deck chair and Came
earnestly towards me. ‘I am certain
of it,’ he exclaimed, ‘if he will but give
God time! Remember that. as long as
you live, give God time’!”

How near at hand is the unseen
world? How close to us are those
who have gone before. Certainly the
unseen world was near to Jesus; He
had not been on the mount. long until
two men‘appeared from the unseen
and talked with Him. Moreover, as
Luke shows. they knew what was to
take place later, and conversed with;
Him on His death. Contrast how nabs
urally Moses and Elijah spoke of their
death, and how perplexed and 00-11-
fused the disciples were, “questioning
among themselves what the rising
from the dead should mean.” Am
those we have loved and lost (for a.
time) so near that they know all about
our affairs, and perhaps are able to
help us? A man said to me not long
ago, that he felt his mother near him.
for the ten years she had been dead. To
God, of course, the seen and the un-
seen worlds are equallv visible “Go-.1
is not the God of the dead, but of the
living.”

The years pass, and Peter writes,
looking back to that day of days,
“when we were with Him in the holy
mount.” On the day of the transfig—
uration Peter was. not the most prom-
ising member of that band, I imagine.

He had talked too much, as usual. and

made inane remarks. But you never
can tell what qualities are in a human.
You never can tell. The stupidest boy,
the slowest girl often hide qualities
that will make them leaders later.
That is not an excuse for laziness in
the children, but for patience in the
elders. Believe in folks. Trust folks.
Christ never gave anybody up.

RACTICAL or impractical, nobody
ever could accuse Henry Brown
of being a coward. “So you know
the House of the Lone Oak?” he quer<
ied of the friendly stranger. “And you
say that if we go there we will not
dare to stay? Friend, it will interest
you to know that we have bought that
very farm?. What we have, we hold.”

“But surely you will not go there
tonight!” cried the stranger. “It is
growing dark. Strange things have
happened there. The place is deserted,
some say haunted. At least stay until
I may tell you some things you should
know. While hardly a neighbor, I wel-
come you to Vale county, My name is
Lane.”

“We are the Brown’s of Clark,” an-
swered Father ,irown, “and we. appre-
ciate your friendly warning. But the
House of the Lone Oak now is ‘home’
to us and we must go on. After we
have seen it ones: we will go on to the
little town of Nettleton to spend the

night. We have come far. though, and
can hardly wait to inspect. our new
home.”

“Tell us the story, Mr. Lane.” cried
Beth from the rear seat. “Why is it
you said there is even something sin-
ister about thw old tree? Surely a.
tree can do no harm."

“It is a long story, friends,” began
Mr. Lane as he leaned against the car,
“and one that should have been told
you before you spent your money for
a place some call accursed. For a cen-
tury the old house has stood upon a
hill, a giant oak the only tree upon
the hilltop guarding its secrets. It has
been twenty years since Old Captain
Pettibone, heir of the Pettibone‘s who
had long passed on, came back from
his seafaring, bringing with him a
Negro who had been his cook, and
with him also, it is said, gold and jew-
els from ill-gotten gains. In all that
time neither master nor servant ever
did a day’s work upon the farm. They
spent their nights and days on guard,
while the land went untilled and grew
up in weeds."

“But for Whom did they watch?"
asked Hal, and his voice was vibrant
with interest.

The New Friend’s Strange Story

“Nobody knows,” replied Mr. Lane,
"and now the old man is dead and the
black man has disappeared. But in
his delirium the old captain talked of
pirates and a chest of gold, charging
Black Neb to keep it safe. All this
may have» been the imagining of a dis

Lone Oak is a watch tower like the
crow's nest of a ship, from whence
Black Neb kept watch. Some think
that the treasure is concealed in the
tree itself, but none have dared to cut

 

the tree down, even to this day.”
“Has harm come to anyone in this
dreadful place?" questioned Mother
Brown, and despite her brave heart
her voice shook. “And what of the
neighbors nearby? Do they believe ”all
things true that you have told us?”
“Nobody has been harmed,” assured
the new friend, “and the neighbors
are divided in opinion. Some believe
that the. old man was crazed, others,
knowing that he ‘always had ample
money for his needs, although but a
few dollars was found after the Cap-

House Paint!

(‘Cheap”paint isn’t cheap at all /

HEN you buy paint to dress

up and protect your house,
don’t let a “low price” blind your
good sense. Thousands of home
owners a re bewailing a “cheap” paint
job this very minute and are paying
a heavy penalty in hard cash and
regrets.

“Cheap” paint is made of. cheap or
skimpy materials. How else could
it be sold at a low price in our highly
competitive markets?

Cheap or skimpy materials make
a poor, weak grade of paint. That's
only sense. It may look like paint and
srreell like paint 2’72 tire can. But on the
brush and on your house—the poor
quality shrieks so all can hear it.

If you are tempted to use a “low
price ” house paint—one that is
claimed, even guaranteed and war-
ranted, to be “just as good as SW P,”
——G0 SLOIVL’ Remember that low
price and low quality go hand in hand.
You can’t make a silk purse from a
sow s ear.

Compare the ”cheap ”formula

with SWP!

Make the formula tert.’ Insist upon
seeing the formula of the “cheap"
paint, either on the label or in the
literature of the company.

Compare the materials used in
making the “cheap” paint with the
ingredients of fine old SWP House

Paint—~as shown in the formula
which is plainly printed on every
SWP can. Take Outside Gloss
White for example.

Note the big percentage of Where
Lead Carbonate and Wloz'te Lead Sal—
p/oate used in SWP Outside Gloss
White. White lead should be the
basic ingredient of all white paint
and light tints. It is to these paints
exactly what floursis to bread.

See how much less of this basic
ingredient is used in the average
“cheap" White paint.

Zinc oxide, another costly pig-
ment,is the next essential ingredient.
A liberal percentage of zinc oxide
combined with a large amount of

 

THE ACCEPTED STANDARD THE WORLD OVER.

 


 

  

     

 

 

 

 

white lead makes for a bal-
ancea’ formula—such as the
formula of SWP Outside
Gloss White HOuse Paint.
Itassuresafinishofsuperior
wearing quality.

More than 90 per cent of
the pigment content of SWP
Outside GlossWhite House
Paint is made up of these
two important ingredients
—white lead and zinc oxide.

In the majority of“cheap' ’ white
paints you will find only 30 per cent
and in some instances even less.

It is the liberalquantityofthisex-
pensive basic material in every can
of SWP Outside Gloss White that
gives it such remarkable covering
capac1ty.

In the darker colors like browns
and greens, the “balanced formula"
of SWP House Paint is even more
important. Naturally, these dark
colors can contain little, if any,
opaque white pigment such as white
lead or zinc oxide.

Sherwin-Williams have the pick
of the world's colors. Sherwin—
VVilliams Dry Color Works pro—
duce practically everything except
the natural earth and mineral col—
ors. That is why SWP colors are
so rich, so permanent and so true
to character.

Greater durability of the paint
film on your house is assured by
SWP due to the use of a specially
treated pure linseed oil—made in
Sherwin-Williams' linseed oil plant.

360 square feet per gallon
or only 250—which?

Some people think that SWP House
Paintis an expenswe paint becauseit
costsmorepergallon. Thatisnotso.

Ask your painter
to me “VP—for

best results.

 

As a matter of fact, SWP is
the least expensive house paint
on Me wall—on the market.
And here is why:

A gallon ofSWP will proper-
ly beautify and protect three
hundred and sixty square feet of
your house~two coats.

Will a “cheap,” low price,
inferior quality of house paint
do that? No!

The best you can get from a
gallon of the average ”cheap"
paint is two hundred and fifty
square feet I—two coats. ‘

Right there, in that forty-four per
cent greater cooerage——in the fewer
gallons of S\VP needed—the differ-
ence in price per gallon is nullified.

On the walk—in actual gallons
needed to paint your house-“Sher-
win—Williams House Paint costs no
more and often less than the cheap,
low price kind.

And remember this: It costs no
more to put on a good house paint
than to put on a “c/Jeap” paint.
Which would you rather have?

Once your house has
been painted with SWP

SWP job outlasts the
average ”cheap” paint
by several years. This is
widely known.

You get more years of
protective service

It dries to a firm, elastic,
glossysurface. ltweathers
slowly. There's no crack-
ing or chipping or peeling
——if properly applied.
Long after a ”cheap"
paint job has taken on the appear-
ance of a pair of faded overalls,
you can wash the dust off an SWP
job with plain soap and water, and
the colors will come up like new.

You save repainting expense

And when repainting is needed it
can be done easily, quickly and
with much less paint, because the
5 [V P surface is in perfect condition.

 

Compare that with a ”clamp"
paint job that fades out and wears
out quickly—that cracks and chips
and peels-that has to be repainted
often—and that costs more to re—
paint because it has to be burnt off,
or scraped off, at every repainting.

SOME fellows are like that. Maybe it’s
long practice. Maybe it’s instinct. It

doesn’t matter. I know I picked a win-
ner when I wrote ”Prince Albert” in my
personal smoke-column. I have never
had occasion to cross it out. It’s there
in indelible ink—to stay!

I knew I was on the right track the
minute I got that first whiff of P. A. in
the tidy red tin. It was fragrant and
refreshing as mountain air. The first
fire-up confirmed my belief that here
was the one tobacco for me. It was cool

and consoling. It tasted great!

PRINSE ALBERT

Prince Albert is so mild that you can
go to it, load upon load, morning to mid-
night. Yet it has the full tobacco body
that lets you know you’re smoking. It
is so considerate of your tongue and
throat. It’s just a winner any way you
look at it. It will win you too.

That’s my guess, anyhow. I suggest

that you get squared away immediately.

on this important matter. Your pipe can
be either a cheer or a chore, depending
on the tobacco you pack it with. There’s
no other tobacco anywhere like good old
Prince Albert for real pipe-joy.

—no other tobacco is like it!-

BETTER HEALTH.

LITTLE green chart has been
used to drive into my mind a
very unpalatable truth. This chart
shows the result of an inquiry into the
health defects of 500:000 school chil-
dren. The distressing fact is that chil-
dren of the country schools have more

schools. There is only one explana-
tion. In the cities all school children
get regular inspection and have their
defects corrected. In the country, all
too often, they are neglected.

Defects in teeth lead the list. In
country schools forty~nine per cent of
thechildren had poor teeth; in city
schools thirty-four per cent. Then
came defectsof tonsils and adenoids,
with country children having twice as
much trouble as those of the city. Eye
defects affected twenty-one per cent of
the country children, and strangely
enough, there are seventeen per cent
of the children of the country schools
malnourished, against eight per cent
in the city.

defects by far than those of the city.

Your source of Rsupply is dependent upon the Quality of the Breeder's
ock. KA STEN’S KNOWN HIGH QUALITY CHICK

 

You will be more surprised at these
facts than I, perhaps, for I have visited
many schools of both city and coun-
try, and I know that boards of educa-
tion inmost of our progressive cities
are spending money liberally in finding
out about the physical handicaps of
school children, and having them cor-
rected. Every large city has regular
dental inspection and a dental clinic
at which poor children can get work
done for actual cost of materials. They
weigh all children at regular intervals
and those below par are given milk
lunches and perhaps the advantages of
an open air school. They test vision
and hearing, .too. Visual defects can
almost always be corrected at slight
expense, and fortunately the defects of
hearing, though harder to correct, are
not so very numerous.

This investigation into the health of
school children was first made in 1921.
It was presented again in November,
1926, at the Rural Youth Conference
of the American Country Life Associa-
tion. Unfortunately, the five years had
done very little to improve the stand-

clinic, and a nutrition clinic for your
own school this year? It can be done
if you want it.

Between Season Vegetable Dlses

 

New Ways to Serve O/a’ Sta/725M315 Tempt Lagging Appetite:

ENU planning becomes rather
M difficult at this season of the

year. The winter supply of veg-
etables is diminished, and the new
green vegetables are not plentiful. But
vegtables are rich sources of the min-
erals needed for building health and
repairing bones, teeth and tissues, and
' they must continue to hold their im-
portant place on our menus. The iron
they contain is also essential if the
blood is to be red and healthful.
Then there are those subtle sub-
stances, vitamins, which must be in
food ifgood health is maintained.

Sometimes the valuable contents of
vegetables are lost by faulty cooking
methods. Many of the mineral salts
and vitamins dissolve in' the water
used in cooking. If this liquid is dis-
carded, instead of being saved for
gravies, soups, and sauces, there is a
great waste.

New ways of cooking vegetables are
being discovered. The casserole is an
old favorite, since in it all the juices
and flavors of the foods are retained.

 

q

Spring Eats
PRING is the time of year
when we like to change

things. It is house-cleaning time
and the whole house goes
through a period of rearrange-
ment, just for a change. And
so with our diet, the old winter
standbys don’t taste as good as
when the winter Winds were
blowing. The home cook has to
skirmish around for new recipes.
What special dishes do you se-
lect to perk up your family’s
lagging appetites?

Send them in for the contest
this week, and we will pass them
on to other readers. Do not
send more than two recipes. For
the five best letters we will
award recipe filing cases in gol~
den oak, each with a complete
set of filing cards. Address your
letters to Martha Cole, Michi-
gan Farmer, Detroit, Michigan,
before April 29.

 

 

 

Steaming is coming to the front be-
cause it, too, conserves the minerals,
vitamins, and other substances which
vegetables possess.

I have found that innovations in the
way of garnishes, and a seventh sense
of seasoning, based on instinct for fla-
vor, and boldness to try out your
ideas, are a basic part of the per-
suasive invitation to the family to eat

what is good for them. All mothers.

know, too, that the less menus have
to be modified for the children, the
'less rebellion and need for discipline.

Some of the dishes which I serve at
this season of the year follow:

Baked Vegetables.

1% cup canned tomato 17$ tsp. pepper
2 cups mashed potatoes 2 tb. plmento. or green

34 cup onion pepper. chopped

1 egg 5 tb. peanuts. ground

.been oiled. Brush over the top with
bacon drippings or melted butter. Cook

steam or cook in a small amount of
'water. When tender, drain and chop
fine. Place in a sauce Dan in which
the butter has been melted and mixed
with flour. Stir and add the left-over

may be made with two bouillon cubes.
Dissolve them in one and one—half cups

tablespoons of flour-

plete the cooking in the oven. When
a silver knife inserted in the omelet-
like mixture comes out clean, remove
from the oven, fold over and place on
a hot platter. Serve with cheese sauce.

Cheese Sauce.

1 cup milk 1 egg yolk
1th. flour 3 tb. cheese. grated
1 tb. butter 1 tb. parsley. minced

Heat the milk. Mix flour and butter
and add to the hot milk. Stir constant-
ly until the mixture thickens, add the
other ingredients. Cook until smooth.
Serve immediately.

Bean Salad.

2 cups red kidney beans 1 cup celery
1/9 (-111) radishes 1,4 cup sour pickles

Place beans in mixing bowl and add
the radishes, celery and pickles, which
have been cut in small pieces. Chill
and serve with salad dressing on let-
tuce or cabbage leaves.

English Onions.

12 small onions 2 th. butter
1/11 cup bread crumbs 5% cup white sauce
3 tb. cheese ye tsp. salt

Parboil the onions in salted water.
Drain. Sprinkle half of the crumbs in
the bottom of an oiled baking dish.
Add the onions. Sprinkle on the cheese
and then the remainder of the crumbs.
Dot with butter and pour on a thin
white sauce. Make the sauce by thick-
ening three-fourths cup of milk with
three-fourths tablespoon of flour. Sea-

in the roasting pan with a cup of wa-

evaporates. The acid tends to soften
the tough fibres of the meat, and the
little vinegar which will remain, will
not injure the flavor of the gravy. If
one wishes, three or four drops of ex-
tract of mint may be added to the
gravy after it is thickened, and just
before it is taken up.~—Mrs. F. H.

 

SINGLE FABRIC SHOWS COTTON,
SILK MERITS.

I T is laundered like cotton, but it has

the fine, soft qualities of silk. And

it gives long service under hard wear.

This is part of the “record of pongee,

a fabric that is filling a. prominent

place in the modern clothing budget.
It is one of the most practical mate-

n‘als available for under-clothing, and ,

is recommended by,clothing special-
ists to the extension classes. The ma-
terial has been found especially prac-
tical for slips because it' .is a soft,

smooth, durable 'silk, and, unlike cot«'

ton fabrics, it does. not 'creep or twist
under the outer garment;

If it is boiled and washed like the
fine cotton materials that are ‘com—
monly used for underclothing, pongee
will wear just as leng. A nightgown,

or which a record has been kept, has.

been worn four years and _is sun in

has been washed Difficticaalig my oth
er Week This is a

at the cotton: - mes

  
 

One step in' laundering is saved
when pongee is used If it is washed
and rolled, this material may be ironed
easily without drying; or, it may be
dried and then ironed without sprink-
ling.

There are many other common uses
for the material. It makes attractive
and useful afternoon dresses for the
housewife, especially for summer,
since it is cool and easily laundered.
Children’s garments, and particularly
dresses and bloomers, are also often
made of pongee because it is econom-
ical and the color is one that does not
show soil readily. Curtains, too, are
often made of pongee.

A FEW EXPERIMENTS EROM MY
KITCHEN.

 

N creaming sugarand butter fora
cake, I find that by adding a table-

spoon of hot water for every cup of
sugar, it creams much easier and nicer
and saves a lot of time.

In making any kind of boiled icing,
I find by adding one cup of sugar, one
tablespoon of cornstarch, it will pre-
vent the icing from sugaring, and pro-
duces a creamy appearance, making
the icing free from crumbling when
the cake is cut.

Wax the bottom of your rockers
when the floors are- being done. Then.
if pushed or dragged across the floor,
they will not make any unsightly
marks

I have found that bread dough into
which a few drops of ammonia. have
been kneaded, will remove soot marks
and grease spots from wall paper.—

tumes which they had carefully se-

learned during the year. Carrie Wil-
liams, clothing specialist, and Ethel
McDonald, home demonstration agent,
were present and scored the costumes.
Scores ranged all the way from eighty-
four to ninety-nine. .

In some cases coats and dresses
from last year were used, in which
cases the women had bent their ener-
gies to the selecting of accessories,
such as purses, hose, gloves, scarfs,
and beads, which would harmonize
with the coloring in the garments.

Thirty local groups in Oakland coun-
ty, including 406 women, are enrolled
in this project.

home demonstration agent of Wayne
county. Other activities reported by
her are: Thirty-two music apprecia-
tion demonstrations given before 1,115
boys and girls. The project of instru-
ment voices has been presented
throughout the year. This study is
divided into four parts, namely, the
wood Winds, strings, brasses and per-
cussions This last visit to the clubs

Kitchens which have been much im-
proved as a result of the home man-

Specialist, attended the “Tour.” Nine
local groups. including 160 women,
have been studying home management

REMOVING VARNINSl—l FROM
METAL.

 

Please tell me something that will
remove varnish from metal without
scratching the metal.——-Mrs. F. L.

Either dip the metal pieces in, or
paint them with a solution made of
equal parts of ammonia and alcohol.
Rub with a cloth until .all the varnish
has disappeared. If the varnish is
persistent, it may be necessary to re—
peat the process.

«. Twenty Tales from Timberland

Beetle Bug and Katy KatydiaE-No. [6

EETLE BUG waddled up to the
end of a long. blade of grass. “Oh,
hum!” ~he sighed, for he was-as
much out of breath as we would
have been if we had climbed to the
top of the tallest tree in Timberland.
Beetle Bug liked to climb to the top
of the long grasses, for then he could
look about and see so many things.
Down in the grass where he lived
most of the time, he could see nothing
but grasses, and a. bit of sunlight now
and then. ‘

“Dear me, I wish someone

was .here to play with me," sighed
Beetle Bug- . -
Right then. Katy Katydid scrambled
up a blade of_ grass opposite him.
“‘Howdy do,” greeted Katy Katydid.
“Howdy do,” answered Beetle Bug,
“and who are you?”
my name is Katy Katydid,” she an-
swered. . ~.
, And .What did Katy do?” giggled
Beetle Bug. ,
" “Lots of things- I play games and

I don’t believe I can pla mes that
Katydids can.” y ga

“W-e-l-l!” laughed Katydid. “Listen!

Do you hear that?”

“Bumble: Bee! And he is calling to
me from the buttercup over there,”
said Beetle Bug. “Excuse me,” and
he scampered down from his high
perch and hurried over to the butter“
cup. But no Bumble Bee could he
find.

"Buzz, buzz, come over here.” This
time the call came from over by the

lily. Beetle Bug hurried over to the

lily as fast as he could go, but again
no Bumble Bee did he find.

“Crick, creek crick, creek,” called
someone from the hollow tree. "Come
over here.”

“That’s Johnny Cricket,” said Beetle
Bug, and he hurried over to the hol-
low tree, but again'he could find no
one. Then Grasshopper and Black Fly
called him, but he couldn’t find them.

At last a voice behind him wanted
to know if he would give up. And
Beetle Bug said he would, for there
was no use to try any more. When
he looked around Katy Katydid was
right behind him. ‘

“Ha, ha, he!” laughed Katy Katydid.

“What’s the joke ?” asked Beetle Bug.

“How did you like the game?” asked
Katy Katydid.

“So that’s it.

Well, it was a good
game,”

agreed Beetle Bug. “But

couldn’t find any of the folks that

were calling me.”

:“Well, you see, it Was me who was
calling you all the time," answered
Katy Katydid. “l imitated Bumble
Bee, Johnny Cricket, and all the rest.”

“Ha, ha! A good game and a

Joke on me,” laughed Beetle Bug. ' “So .

that‘s What Katy Katydid did! A good
joke-indeed. Come, (let's be friends.”

I'Didn‘t 1030 another one after using

Readers who wish to stop the loss of
chicks from white diarrhea and other
bowel diseases, will be interested in the
following letter, from Mrs. W. R. Bode,

Llano, Tex. She says:

"I formerly lost a big part of every hatch of
baby chicks, and my net hbors have had the
same experience. But I ave found that this
loss can be easily avoided. A few years ago.
’ when I was losing 6 to 8 chicks a day I started

putting Avicol in the drinking water. it stopped
my chicks dying so promptly that I .have used
it re larly ever since as a preventive. Last
year raised 140 chicks and never lost one. I’ve
preached prevention to my neighbors, _but Just
today I had to divide my supply of Avrcol with
two of them. One had already lost 20 cincks
and the other 27. I can’t understand why people
risk such losses, when they are so easrly pre-
vented.” , W

The same tablets which Mrs. Bode used have
proven equally effective for thousands of_qther
poultry raisers. Their reports dprove posrtively
that all anyone need do Is op an Av1col
tablet in the drinking water, to stp the usual
chick epidemics and insure rap: , vigorous
growth. Whether the trouble has started or not.

Experience by

Showed Dad.
I Turned a neat little stunt on my
dad, and incidentally revealed to him
just what it means in dollars and cents
to plant certified seed. Last spring
I joined the potato club. My dad gave
me one acre in a five-acre field, plant-
ing the remaining four acres himself.
All summer long I applied everything
I had learned regarding the raising of
this crop, starting with certified seed
which I had purchased from a local
Certified seed grower. Long hours I
rogued and cultivated, and in the end
success crowned my effort. My dad
went along on his own old sweet way,
with an indulgent smile at the ear-
nestness of my ambition. Then came

‘1 V

      

 

_

digging time, and it was my time to
smile, and I did!

On my one acre 1' had produced
more than my dad had on his four
acres. Not only that, but the quality
was way above that of my dad’s four
acres. I not only had lots of potatoes,
but they were of excellent quality.
They came from certified seed stock
and they were of the right quality,
were inspected, and also 0. K.’d. So
that warrants my crop being certified.
Safe to say that I had no marketing
problem.

Dad bought at the highest market
price, which amounted to 200 bushels.
I kept ten bushels for planting this
year, the same amount I had last year.
Our field agent, Mr. Blivens, advised
me to use fertilizer this year, which
dad doesn’t believe in. But I am going
to try it. I saw what it did last sum—
mer. It improved other potato crops
considerably. I will plant mine in the
same field with dad’s, so I will know
the results next fall.—Franklin Die-
mond. '

Favors Club Work.

The best plan for making money
that I know of, is Boys' and Girls’ Club'
work. This method is rather uncer-
tain, however, for I have been a bean
club member for two years, making
over $30 the first year, and having a.
total loss the second. ' _ ,

This work has its advantages, aside
from financial gain, for it gives one a-
feeling of pride and responsibility, cre-
ated from knowledge of actual own-
ership. .
‘It also causes the development of'
competition,~ and as a result, the“ 'de-
sire' for crop improvement, as ample

- reward is offered to those. who excel.

These meetings afford profit aswell
as pleasure, the former being obtained
from field inspection and study of the
growing crop, and the latter being the

Then this work gives one the habit
of keeping a careful record of work
and expenses. Considering all of its
advantages, financial and otherwise, I
think club work is the best money-

Conception of Spring.

Two years ago I sent for a. collec-
tion of asters, not thinking at the time
of raising them for sale. I planted
them in a garden which was near the
road. When the flowers began to
bloom, people could be heard exclaim-
lng about their beauty, and many- stop-
ped to see if I would sell. They were
willing to pay a very good price for
the beautiful blooms, too. Others want-
ed to buy the seeds as well as the
flowers.

Altogether, I consider the time spent
in preparing the ground, planting and
cultivating the flowers at blooming
time, saying nothing about the money.

This year I intend to make a busi-
ness of raising asters, both for road-
side sale and for market in a large
city near my home. Other flowers
that sell well may be substituted for
asters.

For any girl or boy who wishes to
make money in a pleasant way, 1' rec-
ommend raising flowers to brighten
the lives of others—Eleanor Phillips.

. In a Sheep Club.

A sheep club was started'in my
neighborhood. The sheep that we boys
got were all registered .Shropshires. I
borrowed the money of the bank to
buy my two sheep. Each one cost $35.
One of ‘them had twin lambs, a awe
and ram lamb. They grew fine during
the summer on pasture. Just before
the Grand Rapids fair,"‘1’ gave th’em a.
few oats.

I got Mr. Bi'ddleman .to trim my
sheep for the fair. When Mr. Fine?
man came around to look at all’the

Barry county sheep, he told me to take «

my ewe lamb and old sheep to the

Grand Rapids fair, ‘My,.eWes got-first...

black cloud rose in the east. in less
than an hour the wind wasblowing: so
strong that it shook the schoolhouse
and the air was so full of snow that
one could hardly see through it. At
four o’clock the storm was still raging
and the teacher told us not to try to
go home. ‘

As night came on we were all fright-
ened and hungry. The coal was nearly
all burned up. The teacher was about
to use the desks for fuel, but just then
a. neighbon brought over some coal
and told us we must come over to his
house for the night. We were all glad.

The storm kept on all night, and

quite a little pain, and who also
are in ‘ strange surroundings,

Howell TB Sanitarium and the
Convalescent Home of the Chil-

children, as well as the nurses
who care for-them, have spoken
many times, their appreciation
of these radios.

Now, we want to get a radio
for the Children’s Hospital itself.
which is located in the city of
Detroit. Here the children are
even in worse condition than at
the convalescent home, and the
music and entertainment an M.

would wonderfully lighten their

The Golden Circle Corner

_ Sucre.”

‘ O contribute to the Golden Circle,

to me, means a great deal, and

as I pondered over a subject I came

to the conclusion that success was a
suitable topic for such an occasion.

First, to suCceed, we must have an
invisible something in order to have
success. we cannot succeed with
nothing. Some of the most important
secrets to success are education, mor-
al character and health.

We must have these three in order
to succeed, but many other minor ones
are connected with them.

Let’s first consider education. We
can succeed at nothing without a good
education. When we educate ourselves
we must first be very careful in so
doing. An education, even one of a
common high school, will assist you in
nearly every branch of work. For in-
stance, geometry will not only increase
your mathematical ability, but it will
~ help you to reason out other work. It
. develops a. large thinking power. But
education-is not all of the same class.
, There are two branches, the bad edu-
Cation and good education, and these
can usually be distinguished in a per-
son from their talk.

Then we think of moral character.
Of little value is an education without
a good moral character. If we hate
a very gooddearning, but are down-
right dishonest, who will trust us?
We should begin early and continue
throughout our lives to train ourselevs
to a good moral character, and then
the world would ran along very
smoothly with such an element.

But, if 'yve have an education and a
. moral character and no health, how
can we succeed?. So, after obtaining
" the‘hbov‘éi’nient‘ioned; we must strive

      

 

 

 

‘ it»! , ihemalil‘xéf A poor health will

I

Stcretr

injure the mind and make it dull.

 

After we have all of these we should .
use cooperation with them, and with;
our fellowmen. Without cooperation ,
we can sometimes succeed, but, the ‘
case is usually in the reverse. Do not
be so dishonest that no one can trustl
you, or be so dishonest that you won’t 1
trust your neighbors for fear they are;
all like yourself.

If a person secures all of these they
wealth, a very wise investment indeed,
which no One can steal—Geo. Nichols.

noosrs FOR THE CHICKSW

 

HE sooner chicks can be taught to,

roost, the better they will develop
and the less will be the danger of pil-
ing. Chicks can generally be taught
to roost when they are fOur or five
weeks old, but one must be careful
that the roosts do not prove a trap
where some of them can be smothered.

'A very satisfactory method is to take
one-by-four—inch boards and make a.
frame that will completely fill in the
back end of the brooder house. If
there is much space between the stud-
dings and the frame, it is necessary
to fill these spaces with litter to keep
the chicks from getting down in there
and smothering. .

Cover the frame with inch poultry
mesh and nail the roosts on top of
this: In case some of the chicks get
off the roost, they can not pile down
under them, and there is no possibil-
ity of suffocation. As soon as a num-
ber of chicks have learned to roost,
then make another frame that will just
fill in the far end of the house. And
in any event, be sure that there are
no corners where the chicks can con-
gregate and pile up.——I. J. Mathews.

 

HENS BECOME BLIND.

We are having trouble with our
hens. In the first stage, the-y seem to
wander around as if they could hardly
see, perhaps turning around two or
three times to pick up a kernel of
corn. Later, their neck seems to get
crooked, and the head twists around
on one side. In this stage they do not
eaé, aéld gradually get weaker and die.

The blindness, in some cases, has
been found due to intestinal worms.
The common remedy for worms is to
place two per cent of tobacco dust in
the laying mash. The commercial
worm remedies are also good. Per-
form a. postmortem on the hens that
die, and note the condition of the in
ternal organs. Leg weakness and rap-
id emaciation may be signs of tuber-
culosis, coccidiosis, malnutrition, fowl
cholera, etc. Sometimes two per cent
cod liver oil in a ration will brace up
a flock which is showing signs of ‘low
vitality. The twisting of the head and
neck might be due to limberneck,
which is sometimes caused by eating
spoiled meat or any animal matterof
bad quality.

 

CARE OF TURKEYS.

Is it practical to hatch turkey eggs
in an incubator and raise them as you
would chicks, with a colony brooder?
Or is it better to let the turkey hens
hatch them, and raise them by roam-
ing, as is their nature? What should
the little turkeys be fed at first? Will
they thrive on‘ a. commercial mash, as
do chicks, or is bread and milk better
for them? Is there any profit in car-
ing for and feeding them all through,
or is‘there more profit in letting them
run, and bringing them home in the
fall near market time, and graining
them heavily then ?—Farmer’s Wife.

Turkey eggs can be successfully
hatched in incubators, and the poults
have been raised with Coal-burning
brooder stoves. However, the artificial
hatching and brooding of turkeys is
not the general practice. The turkey
eggs and the poults are rather valu-
able, and it is quite a risk to handle
them artificially. Better results often
come from dividing the risk and plac-
ing the eggs under the mother turkeys
or chicken hens. An incubator oper-
ator might hatch turkey eggs artificial-
ly but not have them quite as vigorous
as when they are hatched under nat-
ural conditions where the temperature
is usually just right;

poults for the first few days on hard-

b'oiled eggs chopped with dry corn .

bread crumbs. Cracked wheat or fine
chick scratch grain can be given the
poults when afew days old. Turkeys
are seed enters and do not thrive as
well as chicks on wet meshes. The
commercial chick starting meshes
used so successfully by poultrymen do

not seem to be in general use for start- .

ing young turkeys.

Most turkey raisere give their birds
plenty of range during the summer,
and they obtain a. large part of" their
living from the fields. All the seeds
and grasshoppers they consume help
to reduce the cost of producing turkey
meat. Turkeys can be successfully
raised when confined in comparatiVely
small areas, but» that is not the gen-
eral practice. ‘

 

SPOTS ON LIVER.

l have noticed that, when I kill a
laying hen, the liver has white spots.
C-onilifld y‘purltell me what this could be?
—- I'S. . .

The condition described as “white
spots in little lumps” on the liver is
sometimes a symptom of tuberculosis,
although a. laboratory examination is
considered necessary to definitely de-
termine that disease. If tuberculosis
is suspected, it pays to have a. veter-
inarian inspect the flockfand make
recommendations.

The fact that you have produced
plenty of eggs other years, would in-
dicate that your feeding methods for
winter production are probably all
right. The trouble may lie in a. gen-

eral lack of vigor in the flock, due to-

the inroads of some specific disease.

 

POULTRY AND THE CORN BORER.

(Continued from page 559).
work over to the specialist. He can
have two sources of income, which
are strictly fresh eggs, and old hens
and broiler cockerels. His two prin-

cipal items of expense are feed and

baby chicks. He can force most all,
or all of his birds for high-priced fall
and winter eggs, and not worry about
the vitality of the breeding stock dur-
ng the following spring. He can avoid
eeding cockerels over winter, and sell
infertile eggs at all seasons.

The poultryman who turns over his
breeding and hatching work to the
skilled hatcheryman, may have some
time for other work, such as fruit
growing or gardening. The time spent
in squinting at incubators may he used
in the caring of the laying flock, or in
the pruning of orchards, or the start-
ing of hotbeds and similar work. If
the commercial flock is large enough,
all of the time can be devoted to that
work. There has always been more
or less loss in some poultry flocks, due
to the custom of neglecting the old
stock to care for the hatching and
brooding work. And about as soon as
the young stock are grown, it is near—
ly time to neglect them again to hatch
and raise some more chicks.

New Rations Possible.

In Europe, barley is said to take the
place which corn fills in the ration of
the American hen. Even if the worst
should happen to the corn crop in'
Michigan, it might. be possible to re-
duce the corn in the ration and buy
enough from the west to give the birds
all thecorn the (would need. Much

duced in certain Sections ‘ of Europe..-

C M. Bradshaw m Prevent-
ing White Diarrhea

The following letter will no doubt be
of utmost interest to poultry raisers

‘who have had serious losses from
‘White Diarrhea. We will let Mrs.

Bradshaw tell of her experience in her
own words:
“DearSir: Iseeneportsofsomany

‘ losing their little chicks with White

Diarrhea, So thought I would tell my
experience. I used to lose a great
many from this cause, tried many

remedies and was about discouraged.

As a last resort I sent to the Walker
Remedy Co., Dept. 500 Waterloo,
Iowa, for their Walko White Diarrhea
Remedy. I used tvm .50c packages,
raised 300 White Wyandottes and
never lost one or had one sick after
giving the medicine and my chickens
are larger and healthier than ever he-
tore. I have £ound this company
thoroughly reliable and always get the
remedy by return mail .-—Mrs. C. M.
Bradshaw, Beaconsfield, Iowa.” .

 

Cause of ‘White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by .micro-
scopic organisms which multiply with
great rapidity in the intestines of
diseased birds and enormous numbers.
are discharged with the droppings. .
Readers are warned to beware of White
Diarrhea. Dent wait until it kills half f
your-chicks. Takethe‘fiitchintime
that saves nine.’ Remember, there is
scarcely a hatch without some infected
chicks. Don’t let. these few infect your
entire flock. Prevent it. Give walko
in all drinking water for the first two ,
weeks and you won’t lose one chick
where you lost hundreds before. These
letters prove it:

Never Lost n Single Chick .
Mrs. L. L. Tam, Bmetts Creek;
Ind, writes: “I have lost my share of 2
chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally
I sent for two packages of Walks. I
raised over 500 chicks and I never lost
a single chick from »White Diarrhea. Walko
not only prevents White Diarrhea, but it
.gives the chicks strength and vigor; they ~'
develop quicker and feather earlier.”

Never Lost One After First Dose

Mrs. Ethel Rhoades Shenandoah,
Iowa, writes: “My first incubator
chicks, when but a' few days ol,d began
to die by the dozens With White Diar- '
rhea. I tried different remedies and
was about discouraged with the chicken busi-
ness. Finally, I sent to the Walker Remedy
Co., Waterloo, Iowa. {or a. 'box of their Walko
White Diarrhea Remedy. It’s just the only
thing for this terrible disease. We raised 700
thrifty healthy Chicks and never lost a single ‘
Chick after the first dose.”

rhea Remedy entirely at our risk—

Healthy Holsteins

In the development of a herd of pure-bred
animals, nothing can be more important than
health. Many breeders, overlooking this fact.
have spent years of time and effort building
herds, and later have found them badly dis-
eased.

Michigan State ilcrds have been tested regu-
larly for tuberculosis for years.

Tile last. test includid 1.708 animals. and
only three animals were found slightly in-
fected in two of the herds.

Dependable producing IIolstoins since 1889.

NOW! uses BIG' TEAMS. ~

C HRISlGERBER drove twenty miles
in the mud to see oneof the “ty-
ing in and bucking back” systems or
handling pig teams. After seeing the
demonstration he was so anxious to
get an eight-horse team hitched up,
that he persuaded the demonstrator to
go home with him and help him get
started. They built the eveners‘ of
timbers found on the farm, rigged up
the team and started work on a. Mon-
day afternoon. They hitched two nine-
foot discs side by side to cut a strip
eighteen feet wide every time they
crossed the field. ‘
This double disc outfit was drawn

 

 

 

 

 

 

hay as a. supplementary hogvfieéd, and

its comparative value {as alfalfa. meal.

Another experiment thatWill be an-

nounced Feeders’ Day will show the

advisability of‘replacing all or-part of
”the alfalfa. with linseed meal—c.

 

LIVE STOCK, LIME AND LEGUMES.

 

HE three .“L’s,” lime,_li_ve stock

and legumes, will home their day
on a special exhibit train pre‘paredfby
Michigan State College departments,
and sponsored by the Pennsylvania.
Railroad. The train will start north
from Grand Rapids over the, Pennsyl-
vania’s lines on April 25. Farniers lo-
cated near stops along the route may

 

 

 

 

by the eight horses and driven with
a single pair of lines running to the
lead four only. All others were tied
in and bucked back. Gerber had never
before driven an eight-horse team, but
he began work with this outfit at two
o’clock Monday afternoon, disced in
eighty-five acres of oats and then dou—

ing 105 acres in all, which he complet-
ed in twenty-five and one-half hours.
We know this is correct, because the
demonstrator was there on some other
work during all this time. _

Before the demonstrator left he rig-
ged up a twelve-horse plow team for
Gerber. This team the owner expects
to use on a four-bottom tractor plow.

FEEDERS’ DAY COMES IN JUNE.

NNUAL Feeders’ Day each year in
June draws its crowds to Michi-
gan State College. The program for
this year’s day, according to the col-
lege live stock men, will be based on
the results -of feeding experiments
with baby beeves and hogs.

The first problem, carried over from
last year, will determine the advisa-
bility of feeding linseed meal to three
lots of calves when they are getting
all the alfalfa hay they want. One of

October has already made an average
gain of more than 320 pounds.

A second experiment is being con-
ducted to test the worth of barley as
a. substitute for corn in a fattening ra-
tion. Up until now the barley-fed an-
imals have failed to make as goo

gains as the corn-fed stock. -

Five feeding trialsare being carried
on [with hogs. . An experiment with
‘cull beans as a. fattening ration seems
to indicate that an increase in the ra-
tio of beans in the ratio tends to de-
crease the rate of gain. Whether the

_ low cost of gains produced by feeding

beans will be offset, the slower rate of

two, tests concern. thowonh or sit a; ’

 

view exhibits of marl digging equip-
ment, alfalfa and sweet clover seed,
and three pure-bred heifers carried to
demonstrate the feeding: value of leg-
umes. Exhibits will also be carried
to substantiate the contention of col-
lege stockmen,that live stock are the
surest means of obtaining a, profit from
farming while improving the soil at
the same time. To emphasize the
further fact of the merits of Hardigan
alfalfa, a small amount of this seed
will be distributed where there is a.
demand. _ '

Farmers interested in learning the
lime requirements of their land are in-
vited to take advantage of the free
testing service maintained by special-
ists with the train. Marl digging ap-
paratus will be on exhibition, with
information of value to farmers who
anticipate opening marl beds as a.
source of lime for farm use.

The- legume part'of the special is
expected to attract particular interest
in the northwestern section of the
state, where more than 800 people at-
tended the hay-making demonstrations
last summer in Newaygo county alone.

The train will stop at the following”
towns: Ravenna, Rockford, Howard
City, April 25; Big Rapids, Reed City,
Cadillac, April 26; Lake City, Manton,
April 27; Kalkaska, Alba, April 28';
Boyne City, Levering, April 29.——J. C.

are sometimes spoken of as loaf?

this connection, loaf cheese has no;

pound size; it costs practically the;
same to make five pounds of this‘
(cheese as it «does to make a twenty:

is due to the cost of mbandage circles,

WHEAT.

After three weeks of comparative
stability, wheat prices declined to a
new low point for the crop year. Fav-
orable prospects for the new crop,
both at home and abroad, and pros-
pects of ample supplies before harvest,
were the weakening factors which
brought on another wave of speculat-
ive liquidation. At present, the sta-
bilizing influences are beginning to re-
assert themselves. These include the
high rate of absorption of wheat in
importing countries, the failure of Liv-
erpool prices to follow fully the de-
cline in our own, and the possibility
that the new crop may meet adversity.
If evidence accumulates that the new
crop will be a large one, a somewhat
lower level of prices is pnobable in
the next crop year, and prices for old
wheat will adjust themselves gradu-
ally to this lower basis. On the other

hand, if the weather becomes unfavon
able ”in some important Wheat-produc-

lng Countries, the downward tendency
in the past six weeks may be reversed.

RYE.
Rye prices have

weak along with wheat. The visible
supply of rye remains close to the
high point of the Winter at 14,000,000
bushels. Most of this is available for
export and clearances average only
about 200,000 bushels per week. Larg-
er exports are probable, however,
with the reopening of lake navigation.

CORN.

Corn prices dropped to new low lev-
els for the crop year in the last few
days. Liquidation of speculative hold-
ings was largely responsible, Stocks
of corn at terminals are nearly 46,000,-
000 bushels, the largest on record at
this season of the year. Since much
of this corn is unsuitable for carrying
into warm weather, speculative hold-
ers of May contracts have been .un—
willing to take delivery and have been
closing out their commitments at sub-
stantial losses. Consuming demand
continues slow, although it has exceed-
ed the primary receipts, so that the
visible supply has been showing some
of the usual spring decline. While
there is nothing very encouraging in
the situation, corn prices are down to
a level at which they stabilized two or
three times in 1926, and it is probable
that they will do so again.

OATS.

The undertone of the oats market
has been easy because of weakness in
other grains. Demand is rather slow
so that the stocks of ordinary grades
are not cleaning up very rapidly. Wet
weather is delaying seeding,- and if
this continues, apprehension over the
new crop will cause an upturn in

prices.
'FEEDS.

Wheat feeds were marked slightly
higher last week, but corn feedsand
linseed meal were reduced. Favorable
weather for pasture growth has cut
down the demand for feeds from south-
ern and central states. The reduction
in prices of gluten feed has stimulat-

ed demand.
HAY.

Limited supplies were the one sus-
taining factor in the hay market last

been relatively

week. Bad roads and the urgency-of
spring farm work interrupted the coun-_
try movement of hay so that offerings
were no larger than the very narrow
trade. Good pastures are extending
into more northern districts, reducing
the need for hay. Leafy alfalfa hay
for dairies is less sought after, but
prices are steady. ‘ '

SEEDS.

The season for early planted seeds,
such as clover, is about over, and the
demand is slowing down. Values have
been maintained with prices at retail
on April 1, particularly for all clovers
and alfalfa, averaging higher than a
month previous.\ White clover ad-
vanced $2.10 per 100 pounds during the
month; alsike‘ $1.20; red clover $1.05;
alfalfa seed 20c; sweet clover -0c. Tim-
othy seed remained practically un-

changed.
POTATOES.

Both old. and new potatoes declined
last week under liberal supplies and
dull trade. Growers are marketing less
liberally following the decline, how-
ever, and some stiffening of prices is
expected. New potatoes are less than
half as high as at this time last sea
son. Marketing of old potatoes usu-
ally continues until late June before
the supply is depleted. Northern round
whites, U. S. No. 1, are quoted at $1.95
@205 per 100 pounds, sacked, in the
Chicago carlot market. Texas Bliss
Triumphs U. S. No. 1, 1%-inch mini-
mum, are selling at $3.75@4.10 per
100 pounds, sacked.

EGGS.

The “flood” of receipts of eggs so
generally predicted this spring, appar-
ently is showing its hand. Twenty-two
million eggs were received at Chicago
in one day last week, when receipts
for the week were larger than at any
corresponding time in the past five
years. Consumption has undoubtedly
been stimulated by the relatively low
prices, but is not large enough to pre-
vent a record-breaking movement into
storage. Holdings on April 1 were a
million cases larger than on April 1,
1926, and by far the largest on record
on that date. Prices are not expected
to decline much, if any, below present
levels, although advances will be slow
to develop. Broilers prices are declin-
ing under the plentiful oiferings which

BUTTER.

The butter market advanced nearly
three cents a pound at Chicago last
week, chiefly as a. result of light ofler- .
lngs. Dealers have been trading on a.
hand-to—mouth basis for'so long that
stocks had become practically deplet-
ed, and when receipts werelless lib-
eral prices responded to the more ac-
tive trade. Sentiment favors lower
prices, but so long as production. does
not increase, declines will be short
lived. Foreign butter centinues to"'a.r-
rive and is a check on any advancing
tendenCles in our market. Storage
holdings on April 1 were only 3,000,000
pounds, compared with 17,000,000
pounds on April 1, 1926, and a five-
year average on that date of 10,000;
000 pounds.

WOOL.

Wool markets have developed no
new . features of importance.‘ The . mills
continue to buy conservatively, prices
are being shaded by a. few holders,
foreign markets are firm, and Boston
remains enough below the foreign lev-'
el topermit sales for re-export. Con-
tracting in the west is quiet, with a.
few trades in Nevada at 28 to 30 cents.
Strictly choice Ohio delaine sold at
45 cents on the Boston market, but
less desirable offerings at 44 cents
have not found takers. Ohio three-
eighths and quarter-blood wools have
been sold at 43 cents. Fine and fine
medium territory wools have sold at
$1 to $1.05. There is no scarcity in
the world wool supply and mills have
not been making money, hence are in-
clined to maneuver to get a. wider
margin between the cost of the raw
material and manufactured product.

HE bigger the washing, the more time the
Maytag saves. It positively surprises you
with its speed—washes twice as fast as ordi-
nary washers yet it washes clean without hand-
rubbing a single garment, even grimy overalls.

This remarkable washing speed is due to
many time and labor-saving features possessed
only by the Maytag.

The Maytag is the only washer with the one:

piece, seamless, lifetime cast-aluminum tub—_

the tub that cleans itself, empties itself and

keeps the water hot throughout a big washing.

The compact, all-metal wringer swings and .'

‘ locks into seven positions—adjusts, its tension,

automatically for a thin handkerchief or a
bulky blanket, and wrings both dry.

of this better-built washer by a Free
