The end of an old chore

TWICE a day—every day—it’s milking
time. Often, mother or the boys must
do it when the men are busy—but not on
the electrified farm.

A little motor on a milking machine will
milk several cows at one time. Electricity
will cool and separate the milk, grind the
feed, and pump the water—do a dozen chores
at a cost of a few cents for each chore. '

And when electriCity washes, cleans, and
cooks, and lights every building on the farm,

Being a “milkmaid” is small fun, anyhow.

"era the Hall and Huff bills to
curb the chicken stealing evil
haye finally survived all thevar-

ious stages of legislative progress, and

have gone to Governor Green for his
signature. The Hall Bill is intended
to provide such records of poultry pur-
chases that the law-enforcing officials
would be able to apprehend and se-
cure the conviction of poultry thieves.

The House agreed to an amendment

made by the Senate so that Section 1

of the Hall Bill now reads as follows:

“Any person, firm or corporation en-

gaged in the business of purchasing

poultry for the purpose of resale, shall
keep a record of the date of each pur-
chase, the name and residence of the
seller, kind of poultry purchased, and
description and number thereof, wheth-
er such poultry was raised by the seller
or purchased from others, and if pur-
chased from others, then the name of
the person from whom the same was
purchased by the seller, and the date
of such purchase, and if the seller de-
livers such poultry by means of' auto-

mobile or other vehicle havmg a

license thereon, then the number of

such license.”

The House also agreed to a Senate

amendment to the Huff Bill, whereby

the minimum sentence for stealing
poultry valued in excess of $25, would
be one year of confinement in prison.

The far-famed “Smell Bill” by Sen-
ator Seth Q. Pulver, of Owosso, had
but two more than the necessary fifty-
one votes for passage in the House.
The final roll-call was fifty-three to
thirteen. It would permit of search
for liquor where the only evidence is
that of smell.

The proposal to raise. the gas taX'
to three cents per gallon, without mod-
ifying the present weight tax sched-
ule, is making surprising progress.
The bill to carry out these purposes,
which was introduced by Senator Geo.
Leland, of Fennville, passed the Sen-
ate with but three dissenting votes,
those of Senators Peter Lennon, of
Genesee county, and Ari H. VVoodruff
and Arthur E. Wood, both of Wayne
county.

Shortly after being received by the
House, the bill was reported favorably
by the roads and bridges committee
of that body. It is apparent, however,
that the measure will experience rough
sailing now that it has come out for
the general consideration of the repre-
sentatives. There is very strong senti-
ment in the House that the gas tax
should not be increased unless cor-
responding reductions are made in the
weight tax. Many representatives are
committed to the support of legisla-
tion of the type of the Town and Good-
wine bills which would increase the
gas tax to four cents, provide perma-
nent license plates for passenger cars,
and make material reductions in the
annual weight tax on trucks under
4,000 pounds.

By unanimous vote the Senate ap-

The situation regarding the Horton

mains just as outlined in the leading
editorial in our last week’s issue. The
law-makers have a good many things
on their minds these days, and unless
a bill has considerable backing, its
progress is pretty slow. If the sena-

haps they will wake up and give farm-

vonUME CLXVIII’

 

EVENTY years ago a hardy pio-
S neer had a vision of establishing
- a farming business in the pine for-
ests of Montcalm county. Phil Ross-
man in 1858 purchased the first eighty
acres of sandy loam soil of his farm
near Lakeview. The location was one
, admirably situated for seed growing,
and has had an important bearing on
its later development: Six forties were
added from 1861 to 1865, and then sold
to his son, Harmon.

A small portion of» Michigan’s fa.
mous pine had been cut previous to
this land purchase, but‘ the large ma-
jority of the pine was sold to lumber-
men by 1883. After the best had been
lumbered off—as they removed only
the best in those days—this thrifty
son was able to cup enough lumber,
not only to build a house, a cow barn,
a sheep shed, ‘and granary, but to sell
thirty thousand feet as well.

Farm Management.

The farm’s development from the
pioneer days of logging, land clearing,
and farming, to that of recent years
where the business has changed to
one of seed growing, has been carried
on by Harmon’s three sons. -

The management of this farm has
been divided by the three brothers ac-
cording to their natural interests, so
that each has a phase to handle that
he likes best. The eldest brother,
Manning, very naturally qualifies for
the position of general manager. Roy
holds the job of publicity man for the
concern. Clare, who is a graduate «of
the Michigan State College, is the so-
called scientific man of the business,
inasmuch as he looks after all seed
stocks.

Development of Seed Growing.

The history of seed growing on this
farm is a brief one. Rossman Brothers

.1 started with the growing of a single
3 p variety, andeventually enlarged that
field until today they are growing most
of the major crops for seed.

The growing‘of seed potatoes has
interested these brothers for a number
of years. The type of soil and the
manner in which its fertility is main—

tained make seed potatoes a profitable
crop for these men to grow. Market
demands for high quality seed stock
have been wisely met by the growing
of a crop of early seed potatoes, as
well as two standard late varieties.
The more even distribution of the
work, and the more easily maintained
crop rotations give ,this system the
proper balance for a ZOO—acre seed
farm.

The five acres of Irish Cobblers
which were grown the past season
yielded 1,100 bushels, they were dug in‘
early August, and moved at a neat

that these high yields per acre may
be secured year after year;

The principles that have been used
in successful growing of seed potatoes
have been applied also to the growing
of all crops for seed purposes. VVol-
verine’oats have long been a favorite
on this farm, and the surplus sold for
seed. Within the last five years, the
growing of corn for seed has interest-
ed them, because of its scarcity, and
consequently the great demand for
good seed corn. They secured M. A.
C. Yellow Dent’ corn, as it is well
adapted to this section, both for silage

 

From the Beginning their Objective was to Produce Seed of QualitY- _

profit. The old favorite of this farm,
the Russet Rural, gave 1,900 bushels
on six acres; while a new variety to
the Rossmans, the White Rural, pro-
duced 3,300 bushels on fifteen acres.
It is readily apparent that these are
exceptionally high yields for such a.
large acreage.- When one is acquaint-
ed with the system of operation of this
acreage, it is not hard to see the basic
factors behind such a production.
Maintenance of Soil Fertility.
The fertility ofthe soil, which has
much to do with these yields, is care-
fully maintained by "addition of large

and grain purposes. From 300 to 500
bushels of this variety are handled for
seed each year in their specially pre-
pared seed room. Here proper heat
and ventilation is maintained early in
the fall, so that the seed will be dry
enough to withstand all damages from
freezing weather.

Alfalfa and sweet clover fill a ma-
jority of the requirements for hay and
pasture, as well as soil building pur-
poses. This past season seventy-four
acres of alfalfa hay were cut, of which
120 tons were stored for feeding pur-
poses, the remainder going back to

of T flair Soccer:

amounts of organic matter, which are
furnished by an alfalfa or a sweet
clover sod. It is reinforced by barn-
yard manure, acid phosphate, or a
more complete fertilizer. Fertilizer of
all kinds is used on all seed crops, so

Some Hints

T alto” From Me

N 1926, thirty-four growers qualified

for membership in Michigan’s 300-

Bushel Potato Club by growing 300
bushels or‘more of potatoes per acre.
The highest yield per acre, grown by
J. C. Redpath, of Kalamazoo, was 426
g bushels. The average yield per acre
for all members was 359 bushels. The
average number of acres grown by
each member was five and one-half.
’ In addition to securing high yields,
the quality of the crop grown by the
club members was exceptionally good.

it is believed that the production meth-
ods used by the 300-Bushel Club~men
will be of interest to all potato grow-
ers. The methods of production here
discussed are based on the records of
twenty-seven club members who re-
ported on their work in detail.

Twenty-two of the members grew
their potatoes on a sandy loam type
of soil, while five planted on clay loam
soils.

Twenty~five planted potatoes on al-
falfa. sweet clover or red clover sod.
Two planted on new land. The fact

bers' planted potatoes after alfalfa or

falfa or sweet clover in the rotation,
but the quality of the potatoes is gen-
erally improved. Alfalfa and sweet
clover sods are seldom infested with
wireworms and white grubs; insects.
that seriously injure the market qual-
ity of potatoes, and that are generally
abundant in old timothy and grass
sods.

All but three of the club members
reporting, applied stable manure as a.
top-dressing. The average rate of ap-
plication per acre was 10.7 tons. In
most cases the manure was applied
during the fall and winter previous to
planting potatoes. None of the club
members applied it late in the spring
when its application might promote de-
velopment, of scab. '

planted to Hardigan alfalfa. Seven

bushels of seed were harvested from

this area in 1925. '

One of the outstanding reasons for .
their success is the fact that they more. '
than meet the letter of the certifica- *
tion requirements. That is, it is not
only their wish to pass inspection on
their crops, but to develop a demand
by putting quality in. their product.
They have found that blood lines will
tell just as much in seed as in their
pure-bred herd of Holsteins. The hill
selection of potatoes is one of the big
reasons why they maintain a high
yield. Careful spraying and rogueing
keep up the vigor of their crop.

Ear-to—row testing of their seed corn,
in addition to field selection work, in- '
tensifies the desirable factors of the
highest yielding ears. Only a dozen
or so of the very highest disease-free
ears out of over fifty ears in the test
will be kept for planting in the in—
crease plot. In the five-acre corn profit
contest conducted by the Farm Crops
Department of the College, their crop
averaged seventy-two bushels of shell-
ed corn per acre. It must be remem—
bered this was produced in a section
that is not particularly adapted to corn
growing.

Other interests keep them in touch
with their own and neighboring. com~ -
munities. They are active farm bu-
reau members, one of the brothers
having been president of the local cr-
ganization for some time. Another is
on the board of directors ofthe Amble
Cooperative Creamery. They are mem-
bers of the potato organizations of the
state, as well as charter members of
the Michigan Crop Improvement Asso-
ciation.

It is unusual to find three brothers
who work together in such harmony.
Their interest in all agricultural prob-
lems keeps them alive to any new sug-
gestions. Strain testing, new cultural
methods, and other phases of experi-
mental work carried on by'the state
experiment stations furnish much sub—
ject matter to these brothers which

CURRENT COMMENT

N the southwestern

- - , part of the state,
an s . . ,
MICIug known as Mlchlgans
310330'" Original Fruit Belt,
Week May 1-8 will be devot-

ed to the celebration
of the Fourth Annual Blossom Week.
During this week special effort will
be made to attract the tourist and en-
courage him to view the Michigan or-
chards in blossom. At every gas sta-
tion in the territory, road logs will be
given free, which have charted four
hundred miles of road through orchard
territory. ‘

During that week the Blossom Queen
will be crowned, and parades and
dances will be part of the program. On
Blossom Sunday the churches will give
special services featuring the Bless-
ings of the Blossoms.

This is a very effective way to give
publicity to that part of the state. The
human interest events bring the peo—
ple right into the territory, where they
are not only entertained by these
events, but are impressed with the
beauty of the blossoms, nature’s own
handiwork. Becoming impressed with
Michigan’s playground, many are in-
duced to spend their vacation days on
our shores.

This Blossom Festival has proven a
successful means of advertising and
acquainting the public with one! of
Michigan’s many natural resources.
Through it thousands will see for the
first time the beauties of our fruit belt
at blossoming time.

Michigan has many other beauties
in her fair peninsulas which need the
touch of publicity to change them from
“beauty unadored” to “beauty adored.”
In View of this condition, we believe
that the effort of the Michigan boosters
to raise $100,000 to be devoted to let-
ting peeple know about our fair state,
is a laudable one. Farmers can aid in
making this advertising effective by

_ . N the symbolical
National celebration of East-
E or the egg has played
g3 an important p art.
Week This is entirely fitting

- - as the egg has been
regarded as a symbol of the resurrec-
tion of lifeheven by.pagan peoples. It
is a most unique form of germ life
which has been an important article
of food for man from time immemorial.

In the primal days, the hen, or her
predecessors, laid eggs enough to make-
a' setting, hatched them, and cared for
the young through the summer. Much
of her time was given to gaining her
own livelihood and in the care of her
young. But now, in these efficient
days, the hen knows no motherhood,
she does not have to hunt for a liv-
ing, but is fed and trained to do noth-
ing but lay eggs. Imagine the differ-
ence between the fifteentegg hen, as
nature designed her, and the three-
hundred-egg hen of today.

The hen has become an efficient egg
factory, and as with all products of
factories, salesmanship is needed for
their disposal. While the egg is a
primal food for man, thousands of food
products are forced upon his atten-
tion today. so that fundamental foods
may even be neglected. Therefore,
special attention must be given to tell-

ing people about. eggs, their uses and
their value as food.

National Egg Week, to be held from
May 1 to 7, is for the purpose of focus-
ing the attention of the consuming
public upon the egg. Farmers should
be interested in this week, because
the profitableness of modern poultry
raising has greatly increased produc-
tion, and wider markets must there-
fore of necessity be sought.

N conferences with

Arrests by a number of our
. state law-makers, and
Pr'vqte from other sources we
Parties observe that a great

deal of apprehension,
real or pretended, exists among a. num-
ber of these legislators over the
question of extending to farmers the
power to arrest persons trespassing
upon farms or in woodlots.

Either our law-makers are very
much ill ignorance of the present law,
or they are taking this position merely
to fool those who do not know. As a
matter of fact, according to our attor-
ney, who has taken pains to look up
the records, arrests by private parties
without warrant is now lawful in this
state and has been since the settle-
ment of the country. Also, this has
been the law for centuries past, as ap-
pears from the following quotation
from an opinion by our supreme court
handed down in July. 1923, quoting
from the ancient classic, “Hale’s Pleas
of the Crown,” and also by a prior de-
cision of our state supreme court.
“The question whether an arrest can
be made without Warrant has been de—,

cided from time to time, according’to,

the various ’circumstances of each’parJ

’tually committed a felony. (2) He may

 

mm.- " se, m'any' or
principles recognized ’in’thc cases are:
(1) Any person may arrest, another

who is actually committing, or has ac-

arrest any person whom he suspects
on reasonable grounds, to have com-
mitted a. felony, if one has actually
been committed.” People v. Bressler,
223 Michigan 597.

Our attorney also states that the
right of private persons to'arrest with-
out-a warrant is not confined to cases
of felony. It has always been recog-
nized that it is the right and duty of
any private person seeing a breach of
the peace committed-to preserve the
peace and arrest the disturber. In one
case the court stated: “It being the
duty of every citizen to assist in pre-
serving the peace, any private person
may arrest without a warrant one who
committed a breach of the peace in
his presence, provided he makes the
arrest at the time of the commission
of the offence.” 3 Cyc. 883.

From this it appears that the prin-
ciple involved in the anti-trespass bill
recently considered by the Senate,
which would have given to the farmer
the right to arrest parties trespassing
upon his land without his consent, al-
ready exists in this state under differ-
ent circumstances. The pretended hor-
ror of some of our legislators at such
an innovation is undoubtedly little
more than an effort on their part to
dodge this question and to provide for
themselves a satisfactory alibi, or it
shows a degree of ignorance that
ought to be questioned by those who
are being represented.

be accepted up to Saturday, May 7. In
case any person wishing to send in
a nomination is not in a position to

There is every reason for feeling
proud of the type of farmers whose
names have already been submitted in
this year’s contest.‘ The parties nom-
inated are well scattered over the
state and represent a wide variety of
agricultural lines.

.Not only is it a privilege to recog-
nize and honor men who have succeed-
ed, both as keen business farmers and
as stalwart citizens, but it is a priv.
ilege also to be in a position to give
to the agriculture of Michigan the
practical methods employed by these
farmers who are pioneering with ad-
vanced ideas in the production of crops
and live stock, and in the development
of attractive homes and lively commu~
nities. .

We do not wish to unduly burden
our list of nominations, but we do dc-
sire the names of any farmers who de-
serve the honor of belonging to the
Michigan Master Farmers’ Club. If
there is such a manin your commu-

sending us his name promptly. We

in .between there is a lot of corn on
which mold spores would not have de—
veloped if the corn had been reason-

Four days ago I made a rag baby

Thinking after-
wards that this rag baby tester was a
trifle too “tight,” I unrolled the tester
twice to give the corn a good airing,
with which treatment the sprouts

I am sure the depth of corn is a
matter of prime importance in plant-

been adequately drained—and that is

LIGHTNING ARRESTER FOR LIGHT
WIRES.

I am putting in a small six-volt light-
ing system, with a generator and a
battery in the engine house, and am
running two insulated wires to the
house. Would it be necessary for me
to put a lightning arrester' on the
wires where they go into the house,
for protection against lightning? If
so, how should it be done?—-J. P.

It is not usually considered neces-
sary to install lightning arresters for
lighting wires of this kind, which ordi-
narily do not go over fifteen feet high.
Still, there is a possibility that light-
ning might strike the wires, and some
prefer to have the protection. Use the
ordinary radio lightning arrester, one
for each Wire; just where it goes into
the building, with one common ground
ro'd.——D.

HEODORE ROOSEVELT used to
judge a farm’s pro'sperity by size
and condition of the barn. It is
probably a good indication still, al-
though the farm home is now a surer
one. If a farm house has a well-kept
exterior, and is comfortable within,
with at least some of the modern con-
veniences, such as good lighting, wa-
ter supply, modern kitchen facilities,
and perhaps. a radio or talking ma-
chine, it is a sure sign that the farm
is progressive and is making money.

try Home, Well Arranged and

It stands to reason that people who
live ’well can do better work, and farm-
ers are realizing this. interest in home-
improvement is widespread. Modern
conveniences are being installed, old
houses are being rebuilt, and many
new farm homes are dotting the coun-
tryside. The Dutch colonial house pic-
tured here, illustrates one popular
type of inexpensive country home. It
is scientific in arrangement, charming
in appearance, and has been specially
designed to offer the accommodations
required by a farm family.

On the second floor there are three
large bedrooms, five closets, and a
bathroom large enough to hold a single
bed in an emergency. On the first
floor the combination living and din-
ing room occupies one side of the
house. It has a built—in china cabinet
with glass doors. and drawers below
for table linen and silver. The built—
out window is a sunny place for pot-
ted plants in winter. The room opens
on to a roomy porch, which can be
enclosed if desired.

The kitchen is large and well plan-
ned, has windows on two sides, and
adequate wall space for work table,

Every meal made '

HEN it comes to meals ——

and three times a day it’s
mealtime—salt is next to indis’
pensable. In the kitchen, it be
comes a part of almost every dish;
at the table, how often you hear,
“please pass the salt.‘,‘

Naturally, as a good cook and
housewife, you know that salt is
important in food, but if you only
knew‘ how much pure, mild flake '
salt adds to the tastiness of the
meals you serve you would use no
other than Diamond Crystal.

Diamond Crystal flakes, quick
to dissolve, blend readily with the
food, and make it more delightful
and enjoyable by bringing out the
true food flavors. This salt is re,
fined by special process, which
frees it of impurities, and makes
it mild/flavored. Try Diamond
Crystal for cooking and for the
table—you‘ll see the difference it
makes in the taste.

There is a Diamond Crystal Salt
for every farm use—for table and for
cooking, for butter and cheese'making,
for livestock, for curing meats, for -
canning. Ask for Diamond Crystal at
the store where you trade. -

County ‘Egg and Poultry Exchange.
At the organization meeting, the own-
ers of‘ 10,000 hens signed threeyear
contracts to market their eggs through
the exchange. ‘

It is expected that several times
that number of birds will be signed up
when the membership rolls are com-

N association of the local banks in

Montcalm county has recently
gone on record as being very much in
favor of the employment of a county
agricultural agent in that county. One
of the methods which the banks con-
template adopting for the populariza-
tion of the county agricultural agent
is to make repayment to any dissatis-
fied farmer, of the amount of taxes
which that farmer contributes to the
support of extension work in his coun-
ty. The cost of such repayments
would be apportioned among all of the
banks in the county.

ENTIRETY‘ PROPERTY.

 

'A man sells property that is jointly
owned by himself and wife. He gives
.a deed and takes a mortgage without
the signature of the wife. Would he
have a legal right to sell-said property
again, giving a deed signed by him-
self and wife, or would he have to
foreclose on the mortgage? A pay-

the mortgage given for balance.—— F.
A. W.

The conveyance of entirety property
by the husband, without the wife’s sig-
nature is void, and the subsequent con-
veyance by both gives the second pur-
chaser title clear against any claim by
the first purchaser from the husband
alone.

WORLD’S GREATEST WATERWAY.

 

I have been reading an account of a
trip through the Panama Canal and
have become interested in waterways
of the world. Please let me know the
comparison between the Panama and
the Sault Ste. Marie canals. Which
carries the greatest tonnage and has
the largest locks?——H. M.

The Panama canal is 50.3 miles
long, including nine and one-half miles
of ocean approaches. It has three
locks 1,000 feet long, that have great
capacity. Its greatest tonnage in a
year was 26,148,878 in 1924.

The Sault Ste. Marie canal is 5,674
feet long. Two of the locks are 350
feet; long, while the other two, more
recently built, are 1,350 feet long.
These larger locks have a capacity of
five ships at once. Often 125 ships
pass through the four locks in one day.
The largest tonnage we could get fig-
ures on was for 1910, which was 62,-
363,218.

There is no doubt that the Soo
locks are the busiest in the world, and
also, incidentally, that our Detroit riv-
er carries a greater tonnage than any
"other similar body of water.

RIGHTS UNDER. CONTRACT. \

 

A. sells B. a farm implement and B.
fails to settle for same. Can A. garn-
ishee B.’s wages, or would A. have to
replevy said implement? If B. fails to
pay for same, can A. collect pay for
its use? There was only a verbal
agreement between A. and B.-—Reader.

The seller would have no right to
replevin the implement, same being
sold on credit and without any reser-
vation of the right to retake it. The
implement being delivered and accept-
ed, the contract is valid though entire-

‘gly verbal. The wages of the purchaser

would be liable to garnishment for the

ALFALFA TRAIN SUCCESSFUL.

 

N order to encourage a greater acre-
age of alfalfa and sweet clover, the
Michigan State College, in cooperation
with the New York Central Lines, have
just recently operated an alfalfa train
over the Michigan Central Railroad
in eastern and northern Michigan.
The train operated over 307 miles
in ten counties. Those counties served
were Shiawassee, Saginaw, Tuscola,
Oakland, Bay, Arenac, Ogemaw, Crap:
ford, Otsego and Cheboygan.

Prof. C. H. Spurway, of the Michigan
State College, who invented the Soil«
tex, was on the train to test the soil
for the farmers, and advise them on
the lime needs. He also used his new
phosphorus test, which he just recent-
ly perfected. During the two weeks'
tour of the train, 415 samples of soil
were tested for lime.

An interesting incident happened at
Bay City, where a farmer had pur-
chased a carload of limestone, then
brought a sample of soil to the train,
only to find it needed no lime at all.
Had he used the Soiltex previously he
could have saved about $200 in his op-
erating costs for the year. A still worse
situation, however, is where the farm-
er spends a year in preparation for
alfalfa, seeds on a sour soil, or uses
unadapted seed, then loses his time,
labor and money.

In addition to testing the soil, the
college distributed 412 Soiltex to the
farmers for them to do their own test.
ing on their own farm. This service
of the college has possibilities of be-
ing more far-reaching than the actual
testing of the soil itself.

At each stop a farmer was asked to
put out five acres of Hardigan alfalfa
seed under the supervision of the Mich-
igan Crop Improvement Association.
Hardiga'n alfalfa, besides being a good
hay producer, is ideally adapted to the
production of seed. Hardigan seed is
now scarce and sells for over $30 per
bushel. There is a great opportunity
in northern Michigan for the produc-
tion of alfalfa seed.

Inoculation was distributed from the
train, and a'total of 456 cultures were
disposed of. This is enough to' seed
nearly 3,000" acres. Answers to the
questionnaire on the registration gave
indications of nearly a 100 per cent
increase in alfalfa and sweet clover
acreage over last year. . .

The, men from the Michigan State
College who spent some time on the
train included, L. D. Kurtz, P. R. Mil-
ler, D. W. Rainey, C. M. McCrary. of
the Farm Crops Department; Prof. C.
H. Spurway and Frank Trull, of the
Soils Department, and W. D. Burring-
ton and J. G. Hayes, of the Dairy De-
partment.

During the two weeks’ trips of the
train, 4,700 farmers and school chil-
dren visited the train. Gladwin had

" POULTRY YARD FOR STRAWBER-

RIES.

 

HE poultryyard should be an ideal

place for growing strawberries.
The fact that it has a bad odor is not
an indication that lime or other fertil-
izer is necessary. In fact, an applica-
tion of lime directly preceding the set-
ting of the plants might do more harm
than good. The strawberry thrives on
soils which are slightly acid, or sour,
and for this reason lime is recommend-

,” ed only as it is necessary to favor the

growth _of some other crop, such as
clover, in a ‘rotation.

Poultry manure contains a consider-
able amount of nitrogenand the other
essential elements which are needed
by the strawberry plant and you should
be able to grow one or more good
crops of berries without the use of
other fertilizers. I would suggest that
you plow or spade the soil deeply, and
give it a very thorough preparation
early this spring before setting the

. plants—R. E. Loree. *

 

HOME-MADE STRAWBERRY CULTI-
VATOR.

 

HE first cultivations in the straw-

berry patch are best made with a
fourteen-tooth cultivator. This type
oftvtool leaves a perfect dust mulch
over the soil and throws no dirt on
top of the crowns of the plants.

Fourteen-tooth cultivators are sold
by all machinery dealers, and are of-
ten equipped with a wheel in front
for best results. A home-made four-
teen-tooth cultivator can be made from
three pieces of two—by-two. Ordinary
spike drag teeth are driven through
the two-by-two sections. Several bolts
should be put crosswise of each two-
by—two to prevent splitting when the
spike teeth are wedged into position.
Rough, homemade handles can then
be bolted to the two by two strips,
and a heavy wire, or ring, put in the
point of the cultivator.

For later cultivations a one-and one-
half-inch shovel can be used next to
the row, and the common fivetooth
cultivator used in place of the four-
teen-tooth. A twelve-inch flat sweep
should be used on the back center arm
of the cultivator. Hardware dealers
can supply these special shovels at a
small cost. "

Remember that frequent cultivation
must be the rule in the strawberry
patch. The first runners put out by
the plants should be straightened out
lengthwise of the row. No hand-work
is necessary to accomplish this if cul-
tivation is frequent enough to prevent
runners taking root.

 

POWDER POST BEETLES.

 

The basement of my barn has been
empty for three years. During that
time, it has become badly infested with
a tiny borer which is perforating the
timbers and boards with small holes.
Will a spray or disinfectant of some
kind kill them?——F. W. H.

There are two possibilities, and with-
out seeing specimens it would be rath-
er dificult to decide between them.
The insects attacking the barn may be
white ants, or powder post beetles. In
the latter'case there are likely to be

tiny holes appearing on the surface of

the woodwork, with little piles of flour-
like material pushed out into the open
air. In case tho more serious white ants
are to blame, their work will be more
hidden and, while much chewed up
fibre will result from their tunneling,
it will not be pushed to the surface so
freely, if at all. ”The chances are so
greatly in favor of the injury. being
due to powder post beetles, that 'I am

goingto discuss them alone. ‘

hardwoods and some softwoods, and
pushing their flour-like frass out
through openings into the open air.
Let'me stress the fact that they work
in sap wood only, and do not attack
heart wood. The most practical con-
trol under such conditions is to soak
kerosene through the openings. This
will creep in the powdery material, as
ink. creeps through blotting paper, and
when kerocene is once really gotten in-
side the result is pretty certain, since
the fumes from, kerosene are deadly to
practicallyall insects. Therefore, use

else that will serve to bring the oil in
contact with the openings—R. H.
Pettit.

CONTROLLING ONION MAGGOT.

 

Please advise as to the best method
of preventing the maggots from at.
tacking the onion sets.~—G. G.

The best way to control the onion
maggot is to trap the adult flies which
lay the eggs. These flies like sweets.
About twenty small plates of a little
poisoned syrup placed on an acre will
do much to control them. The plates
should be covered with a wire screen
of a mesh Small Enough to prevent
bees from getting in. One-fourth-inch
mesh is the most satisfactory. This
screen will also prevent poultry and
birds from drinking the syrup.

The syrup can be made by dissolving
one-fourth ounce of sodium arsenite in
a gallon of hot water, and then adding
a pint of molasses. The addition of
a slice of onion makes the syrup more
attractive to the flies.

ONION SEED.

 

I raised a lot of onion seed last sum-
mer. I took good care of it and it is
nice and dry‘, but~I find it difficult to
get out of the hull. Could you please
advise me how to go about it, as we
have no machine to thresh or clean
it?-—J. B.

It is quite possible to remove the
hulls from onion seed by threshing
with a flail. If the hulls are dry, the
seed may be placed in an old sack and
pounded while in the sack, with the
flail. Many of the hulls may be re-
moved after threshing, by the use of
a fanning mill, and it is advisable to
use this, as the first operation in clean-
ing the seed. There is quite likely to
be a number of sticks and stems which
would interfere with (drilling, left in
the seed after fanning. To remove
these it will be necessary to place the
seed in a barrel of water and stir thor-
oughly. It will be found that the light
seed and trash will float to the surface,
where it may be skimmed off and the
heavy clean seed will sink to the bot-
tom, from whence it may be poured
out through a sieve and spread out on
cloth to drip—George E. Starr.

 

PLANT RADISHES EARLY.

 

N order to secure radishes free from
the root maggot, the seed must be
sown early enough to allow the rad-
ishes to mature before the last of May
or the first of June. This means that
the seed should be in before the first

'day of May at the latest. T

Radishes are sometimes grown in
frames screened with cheesecloth in
a manner similar to that followed in
growing young cabbage plants. This
practice is said to afford quite satis-
factory protection against the mag-
gots. In normal seasons radishes rais-
ed in screened frames grow more rap-
idly and are usually superior in size,
succulence, "and tenderness to those
grogm in open beds. Screening is rath-
er' troublesome, however, and those
who do not care to resort to this p

ties are advised to plant early, and . ‘ ‘ -.

this way secure what protection they,

The. importance of early plowing and
fitting of the seed bed is shown in

. the methods used by members of the

club. Eight plowed in the fall, nine-
teen plowed early in the spring. All
of them kept the soil in a mellow con-
dition and free» from grass and weeds
by working it with a spike-tooth drag
or harrow from two to four times be-
fore the potatoes were planted.
The Importance of Good Seed.

Everyone . in the 300-Bushe1 Club
planted certified seed. High quality
seed is considered by these growers
as one of the most essential points in
growing high yields of good quality

potatoes. Twenty-five growers planted
Russet Rurals. Two planted White
Rurals. The average rate of seeding

was 21.5 bushels per acre.

Twenty-six planted in drills, while
one planted in check rows 26x26 inch-
es apart. The most common spacing
distances were 36x12; 36x14; 36x16;
34x12 and 34x14 inches.

The 300-Bushel Club men have found
that closer spacing increases the yield
and reduces the number of over-sized
rough potatoes. Furthermore, they
have found it one of the best ways to
reduce the hollow heart of potatoes.

The seed was cut in blocky pieces
averaging nearly two ounces in weight.
The seed carried two or more strong
eyes per set.

All of'the growers soaked their seed
potatoes for thirty minutes in a cor-
rosive subliniate solution to control
scab, black scurl‘ and black leg. The
potatoes were treated while they were
dormant and before they were out

All but five of the 300-bUShel men
planted before June 15. Five planted
the last week in May. Early planting
is generally the practice followed by
these men who make it a point to get
their stock well matured before frost
or digging time. They avoid growing
immature potatoes which bruise easily
and turn dark in color. By putting on
the market potatoes of bright color
that are free from serious bruises, they
can get the best prices for their crop.
Bordeaux Mixture Increases Yield.

Every club member keeps his plants
green throughout the season by using
Bordeaux mixture spray. This mate-
rial protects the plants from leaf hop-
pers, flea beetles, early blight and late
blight, and increases the yields forty
bushels or more per acre.

Spraying machines carrying a pres-
sure of 200 pounds or more, and equip-
ped with three nozzles to the row,
place the spray on both the under and
upper sides of the leaves, and make
the work effective.

The first spraying is done when the
plants are four to six inches high. Oth-
er applications are made at ten-day to
fourteen-day intervals throughout the
season. The average number of spray
applications made by club members
in 1926 was 5.7.

For the control of Colorado potato
beetles, calcium arsenate is added to
the Bordeaux mixture at the rate of
one and one-half pounds of calcium
arsenate to fifty gallons of Bordeaux
mixture.

In the matter of cultivation, the 300,-
bushel men believe in destroying grass
and weeds early in the season, thus
saving themselves considerable work

IRON COUNTY HAS TAXPAYERS’
ASSOCIATION. .

 

RON county, Michigan, has a tax-

payers‘ association. Any taxpayer
ean'be a member of this organization.
The object is to acquaint the taxpay-
ers with the work of the officials in
the county, township, cities ‘and vil«
lages of the county, and to aid these
officials by counsel and legal advice
relative to the expenditure of public
funds.

The association was organized in
the year 1914. Its staff consists of an
agent, an assistant agent, and a sten-
ographer. An annual statement is pre-
pared fer the members of the associa
tion, showing just how the taxpayer's
money has been spent, and all about
the financial affairs of each political
subdivision of the county. The officers
of the association have on file copies
of all the minutes of each municipality.
county board of supervisors, the coun-
ty poor commission, road commission,
township boards, school districts, cit—
ies and villages. These are made
monthly and studied by the agent.

The data acquired in this way are
furnished public officials, bankers, the
press, etc., in order that the public
may become informed just how the
taxpayer’s money is spent, and how
much is received from taxation in its
various forms. A statement is prepar-
ed, showing the comparative cost of
local governments, and one which
shows the comparative cost of partic-
ular offices during a period of years.
The agent of the association attends
meetings of the county board of super-
visors, and of other boards when there
is occasion for it. Thus he recently
was present at the meeting of a board
of education of one of the municipal~
ities of the county, to protest against
the payment of the traveling expenses
of a party to a national association
meeting in another state; and although
his intervention apparently was not
welcomed, and he was directed to “go
to ,” he appears to have had his
way.

The association has an executive
committee which advises and directs
the office force. If necessary, the as-
sociation uses legal means to prevent
illegal expenditures or to punish mis-
feasance or malfeasance in office. The
purpose of the association is to hold
taxation down to the level which the
statute requires. What these restric—
tions of the law are, are made known
to officials and the public. It would
seem that the experience of iron eoun~
ty with its taxpayers’ association,

‘might be? of interest to other counties
where the/public feels that tax money
is not judiciously spent. , ’

OONLIGHT flooded hill and val-
M ley as the Brown’s of Clark

county spun over the few re-
maining miles and approached the
Lone Oak farm. Escept for Little Joe
who slept peacefully, undisturbed by
any possibilities of adventure. and
small Mary, occupied with watching
for bunnies which fled before the head-
lights, each occupant. of the car was
busy with his or her thoughts.

\R'ould the new home hold happi—
ness? Or would living there mean dan-
ger and distress? Past taut. fences
and prosperous “appearing farm houses
they rolled until finally sagging posts
of a. once strong gate beckoned them
toward a lane. High on a hill stood
a rambling pile, frowning down upon
the valley. Before it a giant tree
stretched ghostly arms out in protec-
tion. “The Lone Oak," cried Beth and
Hal. “Turn into the lane, father. We
have reached the journey’s end.”

bark and mysterious, the old house
seemed to slumber in the mellow light.
No sound except the cry of night birds
and the subdued voices of the new-
comers broke the stillness. Out from
the car sprang Hal, a sturdy youth
approaching manhood, to be followed
by Sister Beth. Hal's junior by a year.
“Give me the flashlight, dad,” said
Hal. “\Ve have no key but perhaps
Here‘s a door unlocked or a window
unbarred. I’m going to be first in
the new home."

"Slowly,” cautioned Father Brown,
“slowly, son. “'e have plenty of time
for exploring; years I hope, before we
leaxe this farm. Coming, Mother?
You can leave Mary and Little Joe

here while we look over our new
home.”
"Never!” cried Mother Brown as

she held close her little son. “Hold fast
to my hand, Mary. Little Joe is sleep-

ing. father. You must carry him.
There may be nothing to fear but
whatever comes we will face it to-

gether and together we will look over
our new home. Go on with the light,
Hal. but stay within call. It may be
imagination, but to me the very air is
filled with mystery.”

"Ho, ho!” laughed Hall. “Mother’s
got her head full of these silly stories.

toward the house.

“We need a gun,” said Hal, ‘_‘and
I’m goin’ to have one before another

a club, dad, and let’s find out what

Side by side, Hal and his father,

into the tangled weeds. The flashlight
revealed two gleaming eyes. Suddenly
there was a startled “Whoosh” and a

if that is a sample of the ‘ghosts’ and
‘pirates’ we haven’t much to be afraid
of. Well, let’s try the door.” But the
doors were fast locked, and barred
windows repelled every attempt to en-
ter. New owners must await the day
before they could explore. They turn—
ed to the great tree and sure enough,
nestling in its branches, though high
in the top, was some sort of building.
A ladder, nailed to the tree, invited
exploration. “I’m going up,” said Hal.
Slowly, the flashlight before him, Hal
ascended.

Built into the tree was a miniature
house big enough to hold a man. As
he drew himself up even with the op-
ening Hal heard the rustling move-
ment of something inside, eyes gleam-
ed out at him. The flashlight dropped
to the ground below. Should he go on ‘?

' -;p1ace, a look was, shot in Peter's direo

   

 

ET us not be too hard on Peter.
Would we have done any better?
Peter forgot, that was all, but
that" was enough. He was taken by
surprise, and by a young woman, ,tOO.
who made a little fun of his manner
of speech, and of the fact that 'he had
been seen with the defendant. For the
moment Peter was all embarrassment.
His big clumsy fisherman’s hands got
in the way, and he did not know what
to do with his feet. His clothes, too,
bespoke his lowly origin, and no doubt
the woman who twitted him was well
dressed. Besides, she took Peter on
his blind side. He was always impul-
sive, which gave him some of his
most lovable characteristics, but also
gave him his worst weakness. Yes,
the Master had warned him that he
would be guilty of
triple denial, but
Peter hadn’t asso-
ciated that with
what he was do-
ing now. He was
too embarrassed
to think clearly
a b o u t anything.
Had he been more
humble when
Jesus told him that, and resolved to
watch himself and pray, it probably
would have been different. But he
had shouted, “Tho ,I should die with
Thee, yet will I never deny Thee,”
and before he knew it, the awful hour
was upon him. He didn’t mean it, but
that is the trouble with most of our
denials. We don't mean them, but we
are guilty of them, just the same.
Over-confidence kills. That is why
the greatest Teacher who ever lived
had said, “Watch and pray.” We Amer-
icans have-another name for over-
confidence. We call it the big-head.
Big-head is often the pig—head, and we
fall, down, down, and then later we
realize what we have done. One of
Bunyan’s most vivid characters in Pil-
grim’s Progress is Vain-Confidence.
Human nature is a variable quantity.
You can depend on it, and you can’t.
The best men realize that it is not
good to be too sure. “Let not him
that put-teth on his harness boast as

 

'he that putteth it off,” is a good bit

of biblical advice. Unless there is a
strong inner principle of righteousness,
the human ship is likely to drift and
drag her anchor. Otherwise, how ac-

’ count for the press accounts of defal-

cations, embezzlements, divorces,
drunkenness, shootings, immorality?
Somebody has lost off his governor
belt, and the engine has run away.

How is He denied now? By silence.
He is not taken seriously enough for

many men even to consult Him, in;
their business and social affairs. He'

is not in their thoughts. A business
man who had never taken religion very
seriously was awakened by certain
events. His first response to his new-
ly-found life was to read the New Tes~
tament thoughtfully.
have painted on the wall of the office
a large portrait of Christ, not sad and
bent, but strong and radiant, where
every factory worker who came into
the office could see it. Christ is never
named in some households. You would
not know that any such person had
ever lived. And this in many families
of church folk, too. Problems, difli-
culties, are never referred to Him. The
children do not think of Him as a liv-
ing person, or not as an important per-
son. He is talked about on Sunday by
the minister, and the Sunday School
lesson is about Him occasionally, and,
of course, atChristmas time there is
the pretty story of His being born in
Bethlehem.- In this conspiracy of

silence, He is denied, and who knows ‘

tion. “And the Lord turned and looked
upon Peter.” One look, but what a.
look! We do not know, from the Bible,
anything of Christ’s appearance. 0'
that we did! But Luke tells of the
look. That look went through the liar’s
soul as a spear might have gone
through his body. No word. Only a
speech of the eyes. Will the judgment
day be like that? Perhaps no word of
condemnation will be spoken. But the
guilty will see in the face of the
world’s Redeemer the expression of
wounded love, and that will be judg-
ment enough to last for a thousand
years. Conscience will apply the whip
and the brandingiron. Said Macbeth
at the banquet table, when his guilt-
crazed imagination thought it saw the

ceed at all, we all have to ackn0w1-'

ldge the laws of God. But especially
is this true of the man of the soil.
Every move in the spring is a move
in cooperation with sunshine and rain,
warm wind and soil. When he sinks
his plow into the field, and the warm,
moist earth turns up, with its sweet
and musty odor, the plowman _may

think, “This soil was put here by
Somebody. Today I'm worki along
with Him.” “'hen the light een be

gins to show across the fields, like a
thin carpet. the farmer may say, “He
is working. His big machine runs
smoothly, and I’m only the assistant
engineer." But if this assistant en—
gineer never thinks of the Chief En-
gineer, shows disrespect for Him by
dishonesty and by oath, by never so
much as a thought of church or day
worship, he, too, is a denier. Whether
or no he is worse than Peter, I will
not undertake to say. But he is bad
enough. And yet He is the same as
He was when He looked at Peter.
Peter came back. There is always a
way back. Isn’t that beautiful? The
shepherd hunted all night for the lost
sheep until he found it.

Greens Once a Day Keep Doctor Away

. . Numée‘r of IVE/4' Varietal" Have Many Posszméz/ztie:

Y first experience in preparing

tasty dishes from wild greens

was not many seasons ago. On

my way to a meadow in search of the

' first wild flowers, I noticed many green

'shoots lifting their heads. I began to

.wonder how many different kinds of

,edible greens were on the place. I

decided to find out, and from that day

'- many common weeds have been served
on my table.

I have employed the following
greens in the making of appetizing
dishes: Watercress, leeks, dande-

lions, curly—leaf dock field sorrel, horse-
radish, chicory, cinnamon fern, bur-
dock, milkweed, purslane and parsley.
These common weeds contain large
amounts of vitamins, and are rich
sources of the minerals.

Much of the success in introducing
greens into the menus depends on the
method of preparation. I find it is
essential to have these foods well sea-
soned and garnished. Only young,
'tender plants can be used. The older
ones are likely to be tough, their fla-
vors are too strong.

My family is fond of a mixture of
horseradish, dandelions and dock. If
I am going to serve plain greens, I
chop the cooked leaves and season
them with salt and pepper. Then I
place them in a skillet containing a.
little butter or bacon fat. Onions are
relished in our household, so a little
minced onion is added. After simmer-
ing a few minutes, the greens are
ready for the table.

Leeks, frequently called wild on-
ions, are an adaptable food. Chopped
fine, they are delicious in salads.
When they are cooked in a small
amount of water containing a pinch
of soda, this wild vegetable may be
served on toast with butter, in true
French fashion. Cooked with a few
stalks of celery, and made into cream
soup, leeks are delectable.

Bitter Experience.

I learned by bitter experience that
the juicy stems of burdock must be
scraped or peeled carefully before be—
ing eaten. Then they 'are good served
With salt, like celery stalks. Or they
may be cooked in a small amount of
water and buttered. I always remove
the wooly outer covering of the cinna-
mon fern before using the plant.

In my neighborhood the milkweed
is not good to eat after the first part
of June. Some way, the flavor is not
right after the blossoms appear, and
the plant becomes tough and fibrous.
The milkweed, because of its rare and
delicate flavor is cultivated in gardens
throughout France. There it is sown
every few weeks just as we sow peas.

A simple manner of preparing milk-
weed is to cook the young shoots in
a little water until they are tender.
Then they are drained and seasoned
with salt. I place a layer of the milk-
weed in a buttered casserole and
sprinkle it with dots of butter and
grated cheese. I repeat this process,
spread grated cheese and buttered

- crumbs over the top. The baking dish
is set in the oven until the crumbs
are browned.

_ Dandelions, as a rule, are served as

‘ plain greens. A delicious sandwich
filling may be fashioned from the un-

cooked leaves and stalks Chop them
and season with salt and pepper. If
celery salt is available, it is used, or
hiew sprigs of celery, chopped, are

 

  

good. This mixture is moistened with
salad dressing.

Sorrel is enjoyed by children who
like to eat nature’s gifts. One of my
recipes that gives good results is as
follows: Cook two and one-half cups
of serrel leaves, which have been
washed and chopped very fine, in a
pan containing three tablespoons of
butter, one chopped onion, a few sprigs
of parsley, and four or five lettuce
leaves. Stir constantly during a few
minute-s of cooking. Stir in two and
one-half quarts of boiling water while
stirring constantly. Cook twenty-five
minutes. Add three‘cups of hot milk
and one cup of mashed potatoes. Sea-
son with salt and pepper. Serve this
soup piping hot.

Cooked greens of all kinds may be
served on toast. I find they are espe
cially appropriate in the supper menu.
Two cups of cooked greens are chop-
ped fine and heated. To them one
and one-half tablespoons of onion juice
and two tablespoons of horseradish
are added. Four tablespoons of sour
cream are stirred in, with suflicient
salt and pepper to suit the taste. This
mixture is spread evenly on slices of
warm buttered toast. As a garnish I

use two slices of crisp bacon and a
little mound of minced cucumber pick-
les on every slice of the toast.

For Sunday evening suppers, sand-
wiches are convenient. My family
welcomes a filling made of greens. To
one cup of crisp greens, which are
chopped fine, one-half pimento, minc-
ed, one-half cupful of cottage cheese
and six tablespoons of broken nut-
meats are added. Salad dressing is
used to moisten, and a little salt is
added if desired. This filling is spread
between buttered slices of bread. For
variation I substitute chopped raisins
for the cheese in this sandwich filling.

WOMEN AND CONSERVATION.

 

T an inspirational meeting of the

federated women’s clubs of Hills-
dale county, held at Jonesville, pre-
paratory to observance of National
Gardw Week, a project was launched
which is worthy of extended notice.
At that time, the initial tree was plant-
ed in a project to set to American
elms, the roadsides along the pave-
ment of M-34, between. Jonesville and
Hillsdale. The public tree-planting

material and a good pattern or two,
the spring sewing can be gotten out of
the way in a hurry.

This becoming model with French
V-front with turn-over collar and at-
tached revers in jabot style, is one of
the easiest to make. The normal waist-
line is clearly defined. The skirt fits
snugly at hips, with flare toward hem-

ment, Michigan Farmer, Detroit. Mich- ,

program was attended by a great many
pe0ple. The first spadeful of earth
was placed around the roots of the
initial elm, by Mrs. E. '3. Gregory, of
Jonesville, chairman 'of the county
conservation committee. Experts from
the M. S. C., were on the ground, giv-
ing their valuable advice and comment-
ing their valuable advice and com-
menting favorably on the undertaking.

These trees will be set sixty feet
apart, and at a sufficient distance from
the pavement to insure safety in the
future, should the highway be widen-
ed.’ Jonesville Boy and Girl Scouts
and students of the agricultural de-
partment of the' Jonesville schools are
interested in the plan. The work of
planting is being carried on in the
vicinity of Jonesville, by these groups
of young people, under the direction
of D. E1011 Spo-tts, of the agricultural
department.

In all this is found a substantial
proof of a widespread awakening to
the necessity of conserving our wild
life, both plant and animal. Most wom-
en’s clubs in this part of Michigan,

‘now have their conservation commit-

tees, and more and more each year,
the clubs are devoting time and means .
to this kindof work.

 

A HINT IN TIME SAVES NINE.

 

I KEEP a quart jar in my cupboard

into which I drop sterilized cerks.
I find them handy for a number of
things.~—Mrs. H. J. C.

When poaching eggs I used to have
trouble with them sticking to the, bot-
tom of the dish, making them hard to
take up, and also making the dish,‘
hard to clean. Now I add a. teaspoon
of salt to the water and, after it starts
to boil, I stir it with a spoon until the
water is whirling around the basin,
then break the eggs into it. They will
turn over and over in the basin and
will cook in nice shape and will not
stick to the basin—Mrs. H. J. C.

Put a small teaspoon of cornstarch
in your fudge when first stirring it.
It will improve the texture and flavor.

' ~Mrs. L. E.

Instead of allowing sticky or burned
baking dishes to soakuntil the next
washing, or spending the time scrap—
ing them, invert them in a larger pan
containing a little water. Set on the '
stove and let steam. By the time the
other dishes are finished, the baking
dish will wash easily.——Mrs. J. M. C.

I often use chopped apples or cher-
ries in the place of raisins and cur-
rants; and the family welcomes the
change—Mrs. P. B. .

Before baking I spread a newspaper
over my kitchen table. When finished,
and everything is put away, I can roll
up the paper and do not have to take
the time and trouble to clean the tar
ble.—-Mrs. S: S. C.

TRY A NEW WAY OF SERVING.

Y family was never very fond of

cottage cheese, but since I have
been serving it as a salad, they relish
it. With it I mix chopped nuts, dates,
raisins, pimento, celery, and water-
cress. Sometimes I serve it in tiny
balls and garnish with pine-apple, chop-
ped pickle, or tomatoes. Perhaps if
some of the readers would try some of
these ways of serving this health food,
they might overcome their family’s dis-
like for it.——Mrs. P. L.

 

REMOVING THE MARS.

Please tell me what I“ can do to my ‘

marred furnitureto make it look bet-
ter.—Mrs. F. J. 0.

It is usually best to go over any
marred furniture first with a good fur—

niture polish. If you do not have a
commercial furniture polish which you
especially like, you might use this
home-made one:

To one cupful of turpentine add a
piece of beeswax about the size of a
walnut. Stir into this one and one-
half pints of paraffine oil. Mix and
shake well and apply to the furniture
with a soft cloth. being careful not to
use too much. ['gly stains may be re-
moved by using rottenstone for scour-
ing along with this polish.

If the woodwork is soiled and seems
clouded with dirt, wash same in a
mild solution of warm water and soap
before applying the furniture polish. If
the polish does not cover up the
scratches on the furniture, they may
be made less noticeable by tinting
them with a small amount of paint
the same shade as the wood finish.

Twenty Tales from Timberland
Skipper and Scamper T um the T aéler—Na. I7

KIPPER and Scamper were two

little squirrels who made their

home in a hollow oak. They were

very happy until one day Fuzzy
Tail, the fox, decided to make his
house right next door.

At first, Skipper and Scamper wel-
comed their neighbor but they soon
grew tired of his many tricks. Every
day Fuzzy Tail had a new trick to
play on them. The climax came one
morning when Skipper was cleaning
off the breakfast table‘ and dropped
her favorite acorn cup to the ground.

“Goody, goody, it never broke,” said
Skipper. So she finished cleaning the
table and then hurried down to get it.
She searched under the leaves and
among the tall grasses, but could not
find it.

“Scamper, Scamper,” called Skipper,

 

They Placed the Carrot Buga-boo Right
; in Front of Fuzzy Tail’ 5 Door.

“Come~ and help me.”
Together the two little squirrels

. peeked under every leaf.

"1310,1101 look‘here, ’-’ called Scamper,
right by Fuzzy Tail’ s front

door. I wonder how that happened."
Skipper came running. Just as she
started to pick it up, “Woof! woof!

woof! woof!” came from behind a
bush nearby.
Skipper dropped her cup kersmash

and she and Scamper scrambled up
the tree as fast as they could. Safely
inside their house they peeked out to
see who it was.

“Ho, ho. Ho!" laughed Fuzzy Tail,
happy that 'his joke had worked so
we .

“Let’s turn the tables on Fuzzy Tail
and see how he likes it,” said Scamp-
er. I have an idea.”

Skipper agreed, and that afternoon
when Fuzzy Tail went to the creek for
water, Skipper and Scamper got bUSy.
From their store house they brought
a big carrot and a cabbage head. Into
the carrot they stuck crooked sticks
to act as legs. More sticks made the
eyes, nose and mouth.

“He, he!” giggled Skipper when the
fierce looking carrot buga-boo, was fin-

ished. I guess that will scare even
Fuzzy Tail.”
They placed the carrot bugs-boo

right in front of Fuzzy Tail’s door. On
the cabbage head they made a scare-
crow face and placed this right be—
side the buga-boo. Then the two little
squirrels hid behind the nearest tree.

Soon Fuzzy Tail came back carrying
his pail of water. He was dilly-dally—
ing along, looking at the clouds, and
never noticed anything until he bump-
ed right into the carrot buga- boo and
the cabbage head scarecrow.

"Help, help!” yelled Fuzzy Tail
when he saw them. He dropped his
pail of water and it spilled all over his
fuzzy tail. This was too much for
him and he took to his heels as fast
as he could go, and he never played

a. trick on Skipper and Scamper again.”

Wen Developed Punct- Necessary
for Heavy Egg Production
BIG, well developed frames and plenty of

reserve fat are necessary in order to carry
pullets through without moulting. Michigan
Growing Mash provides the protein for build-
ing body frames and tissaes in growing chicks.
Insure large, well developed, fat pullets at
maturity by feeding a well balanced ration,
furnishing all necessary types of protein. This
growth and development is necessary for the
pullets to maintain heavy egg production. Ask

VEN if chicks are hatched at

home it pays to own a few com-

mercial chick boxes. Remove
the chicks from the machines after
the completion of the hatch, and place
them in the boxes until they are about
seventy-two hours old. Then they can
be placed around the brooder canopy
and given a little grit, immediately fol-
lowed by the starting mash.

If chicks are placed on a. brooder
house floor without being fed, they are
apt to fill up on litter and sand and
have no room for nourishing feed.
They are ravenously hungry when they
leave the chick boxes and may form
the litter-eating habit, which soon
causes impaction of the crop.

Sand makes an ideal base for the
colony house litter, but alfalfa leaves
or straw should be placed over the
sand. Sand under a breeder canopy
becomes blistering hot and will tend
to dry out the feet of the chicks if
they cannot walk on the cooler litter.

The soil where chicks are ranging is
not as easily contaminated if it con-

when the chicks are first turned out
of the brooder houses. A dense grassy

out by the scratching and feeding of
the chicks. It furnishes plenty of green
feed and brings some insect life and
it does not become caked with fertil-
izer as quickly as bare ground, or
ground covered with a very sparse
growth of vegetation.
Preventable Losses of Hens.

Heavy laying pullets sometimes
show an inversion of the oviduct, due
to‘weak muscles and the pushing out
of the oviduct along with the egg. The
hen should be promptly located and
isolated before other birds peck the
exposed flesh. If the organs will not
return and stay in place, the bird had
best be killed for meat. The condition
is not the result of sickness, and the
meat is all right.

Soon after the poultry are on range
watch for the laying hen which has
become crop-bound from eating too
much dry grass. The bird will show
a. lack of appetite and the crop will
appear bulgy.‘ Sometimes the ma.-
rial can be loosened by kneading, and
removed through the mouth. In other
cases it must be taken out through a.
slit in the crop and the inner and
outer skin sewed up separately. A lot
of crop-bound cases die because they
are not located until the bird has
about starved to death through the.
clogging of the digestive system.

When there are too many male birds
in the flock, there may be some injury

' to the hens, known as torn backs.

Such birds are not sick, but only in-
jured. Wash the wound with disin-
fectant and isolate the bird, and heal-
ing promptly results. If the wounds
are left covered with dirt, and the bird
is left in the flock, it is apt to die.
Meat Food in Spring.

According to the Missouri Poultry
Department, two gallons of milk are
equal to 'one pound of meat scrap in
the ration of the hen. It means that
hens must drink quite a. lot of milk
each day to obtain protein equal to the
amount received in a. dry mash con-
taining twenty per cent meat scrap.
One hundred hens would need four
gallons of milk.

It is sometimes difficult to make the

the meat scrap, but if the meat scrap
is reduced one-half, and the hens have
all the milk they can drink, it seems

 

‘duction.

came second with lag

 

er a lot of protein feed-from the ln- .

sects and worms on. the range. But
large flocks must have a- regular
source of supply, or egg production
drops. Their ratiOn can be supple-
mented by the insect life of the range,
but that source should not be depend-
ed upon exclusively.
Keep up the Grain Ration.

During the spring, when hens lay
without the best of attention, there is
a tendency to neglect their. grain ra-

tion. , This often reduces the weight .

of the birds and causes them to stop
regular production early in the sum-
mer when egg prices are beginning to
improve.

There is considerable strain: on a.
hen caused by laying nearly every day,
even if that production is during the
natural season for heavy laying. Hens
with laying mash and their regular
grain ration, can stand the drain on
their strength. Hens which become
light in weight have to stop laying
and build up their reserves or die. We
will soon begin to hear about culling
flocks, but no intelligent culling can
be done in any flock of poultry which
has been on half rations throughout
the spring. A heavy laying hen, with
the natural ability to produce at the
the expense of her body, might look
the most like a. cull after a. hard sew
son of manufacturing without ade-
quate material.

If any part of the grain feeding is
changed, eliminate the morning feed
so the hens will use the range to the
best advantage. Then fill them up at
night so every'bird will go to roost
with a full crop.

Before the grain in the neighbor;
hood is all marketed, it pays to buy as
much of your supply as possible and
avoid hauling more expensive grain
from the. elevators. One of the most
expensive seasons for the poultryman
is the period from May until August,

_when the home supply of grain is of-

ten exhausted, and both the old stock
and the pullets on range need a lot of
clean, hard grain to keep them in good
condition;

 

MICHIGAN HENS WIN LAURELS.

AT the Maryland Experiment Sta-

tion egg laying contest the twenty-
third week was a real Grand Rapids,
Michigan, week. A pen of Leghorns
belonging to George Ferris has leading
place with a production of 1,167 eggs
During that week this pen laid sixty—
six eggs, while Leghorns belonging to
W. S. Hanahandson ranked second in
the week’s production, with sixty-three
eggs. The Northland Poultry Farms
pen, also of Grand Rapids, came third
with sixty-one eggs. Two other Grand
Rapids pens, one belonging to Dr. L.
Enand L. F. Heasley, and a. second en-
try by George Ferris, attracted atten-
tion with a week’s score of fifty~seven
eggs each.

In this contest no artificial lights
are used, While in our Michigan con.-
test lights are used from five o’clock
until daylight in the morning. Mich-
igan has further recognition in this
Maryland contest, in that Mr. Roy H.
Waite, contest manager, is an M. S.
C. graduate.

TUBERCULAR SYMPTOMS.

My husband is bothered with night
sweats. e worksvhard all the time,
will hardly sit down to rest. He is
losing weight, usually weighs around
160 pounds, but is now 140 pounds.
He coughs quite a lot; has a tickling
in throat that nearly chokes him at
lilmg' Kindly tell me what to do.—

Your husband has three prominent
symptoms of tuberculosis -— night
sweats, loss of weight, and cough. No

one can make a positive diagnosis
without an examination, yet these
symptoms are very typical. Have him

examined by an expert without a day’s
delay. Tuberculosis can be cured, but
only if the treatment—absolute rest in
the open air, freedom from work and
:w-orry, and plenty of nourishing food—
is begun early. Don’t think of leaving
ghome. He can be cured in Michigan.

l ECZEMA—THYROID TROUBLE.
I

i

What about eczema? My mother has
’it on her hands and arms. It itches
badly at times. I would like to know
what ails a child who seems to be
strong, yet so drooping. My six-year-
old boy is like that. Do you think it
is lack of energy? He drops nearly
everything out of his hands. Seems
to like to lie around. but seems to be
well. Would rather lie down than sit
down. It always seems to me that he
has but little strength in his arms.
Can anything be done for him, or do
you think he will outgrow this ?—S. K.

Eczema can be cured, yet there is
no single remedy that is a sure cure
for every case. Much depends upon
the cause. It may need a change in
diet, perhaps a change. of occupation,
perhaps internal medicine, perhaps a.
local application. Get a good doctor
to study the case carefully from every
angle.

It seems very probable that this
child is deficient in some of the glan-
dular secretions of the body; quite
likely the thyroid. Do not wait for
‘him to outgrow the trouble.. but have
him carefully examined by a specialist
in diseases of children. It is possible
that thyroid extract would help him.

HAIR FALLING OUT.

My hair has been falling out in
bunches every day for about three or
four weeks. I have been ill with pneu-
monia for over a month, and for ten
days during that time was in the hos-
pital. ‘For ten days my fever hovered
about 104 degrees, and once it reached
105% degrees. I am twenty years old
and don’t use curlers or hot irons on
my hair, and I am so worried. I am
afraid it won't grow out again—A. K.

A severe attack of pneumonia, or
any infectious fever often causes great
loss of hair. It dies during the illness,
but perhaps does not fall out until sev-
eral weeks later. Itvneed cause no
alarm, because'the roots are not dead
and it will grow in again, perhaps fin-
er than ever. Keep the scalp clean——

the new hair time to grow.

The School Paper

A Golder? Circle Contn'éutz'on

/

Thas been a long time since I have

tuned in On Our Page, but my
thoughts haven’t roamed very far from
the M. C.’s and their doings. I am
glad we are having a. Golden Circle
Reunion, it is a very good idea. ~

Do you knbw what I’m going to talk
about? I wonder how many M. C.
cousins think a. school paper is very
beneficial to the school. I certainly
do, for our school has one and we all
enjoy it so that I don’t doubt that

 

These Girls Have Enjoyed the M. 0.
Radio at the Convalescent Home.
Help us Get One for the Hospital.

nearly all the high school pupils, (be-
sides goodness knows how many oth-
ers!) read the paper through from
cover to cover.

A school paper helps the pupils in-
crease the education in an interesting
manner. By contributing poems, stor-
ies, topiCS of the day, etc., they not
only improve their knowledge of the
important things of the outside world
and acquire a greater power of imag-
ination, but they also help themselves
in English, that is, in expression of
thought, selection of words, and cor-
rect grammar. Each school has its
own authors, poets, artists and jesters,
and by placing the products of their
energy into the form of a. paper, school
life is made more pleasant. A school,
paper gives food for thought, thus of-
ten keeping the mjnd from wandering
off into less valuable channels. An-
other good point for the school paper
is the spirit of competition it creates
among grades in the school. Having

.o'ne’s name printed in a. paper seems

to start wholesome rivalry, each grade
trying‘to outdo the other so as to have
its doings published. Although this is
not the best and most important mo-
tive, it is one. Then, too, the honor
roll is another source of competition.
It is a. great honor to have your name
placed on the honor roll, therefore,
those Who strive for this honor im-
prove their scholarship. Were you
ever on the honor roll, Uncle Frank?

~ I have been, but it takes hard work.

No one can get any place without hard
work, though, can they? There are
some who can’t reach success very
fast, even though they work with all
their might. I think these should get
more credit than those who reach suc-
cess at the first try, don’t you think
so, Uncle Frank ?—Florence Litkowski.

HAD a nice Easter, for I was re-
membered. On Good Friday “greet-

ings from the north woods” were re— '

was also some Wintergreen, including
berries which have undoubtedly been
under the snow all winter. But best
of all was a. nice lot of trailing ar~
butus, that delicate fragrant blossom
which nature sends out in her untouch-
ed domains to let us know that spring
and life is awakening again. So, we
had Easter flowers that few in Detroit
had, and that none could buy. I thank

Arthur sincerely for these “greetings," , V

for they have brought pleasure and
inspiration.

And then the day after Easter, three
real Easter eggs came from Agnes Kul-
bakas, of Grand Rapids. She engaged
in an Easter Egg Hunt and had good
so she unselfishly shared her
luck with ‘me. These are real eggs,
nicely decorated. They are smaller
than the real eggs, so I judge them to
be bantam eggs. Perhaps I am mistak-
en, but anyhow, they look like the
three twins. Thanks very much, Ag-
nes, especially as these eggs bring
memories of days when I used to look
for the nests the Easter rabbit had
left—Uncle Frank.

 

FROM GROWN~UPS.

pear'Uncle Frank:

Please accept my dimes. I am sixty-
three years young, always read the
letters, and enjoy them very much. I
3,182 you and all the best of luck.—

Dear Uncle Frank:

I. would say that I am grown-up, but
have always been interested in your
department and always read them. I
have read the letters in the issue of
April 16, and yould say that they sure
did give you something to think about.
I think some of the grown-ups are get-
ting in with your boys and girls. They
sure did hand it to you.

Dear Uncle Frank: ,

May . I suggest that we discuss
science? And let us call it a science
of any art we wish to talk upon. Na-
ture would be interesting.

I don’t know much about the subject,
but—well, I read and have read, and
always studied quite a. bit, and we
could discuss everything within range,
from the argonaut to internal and ex-
ternal plant growth. ‘

Does anyone. happen to know that
crabs have a familiar “ground” in the
sea, which is their home? I read some-'
where that one could remove them to
a distance of fifty miles, and they
would return to the parts where they
were caught. .

I wish to state here that I may not
be original in- my discussion of this

 

. subject. I have never had. any 0pp0r~

be fine for us to discuss. Our unusual
observations of nature would make in-
teresting reading.

Dear Uncle Frank:

' We agree with Esfiher Larson that
farming isn’t all suns- ine. How would
you boys and girls in the city like to
get up early in the morning to milk
cows, feed chickens, see that the pigs
aren’t frozen in their pen, and run
around doing a hundred little chores
before going to school, and even then
you have to crawl through ten feet of
snow to reach the little old school-
house. The school which we attend is

‘ ‘ fifteen feet wide and twenty-four feet
long. It has only one room. We hang
our coats and hats on the outside wall
and then go and warm our frozen nose
and toes around the three-legged, old
rusty stove which was brought to the
farm school because it was kicked out
of the city school. The children sit
where they find it the warmest. We
are all CiUWded in there like sardines
in a can. There are ten seats and
twenty-one children. This is enough
about this subject, so will change it
to something else. _

As to powder and rouge, we use 1t
to beat sixty. It’s the person’s own
business who uses it. Knickers are
good on the farm, when you have to
rake hay, pick potatoes, drive horses,
and get cows. But we don’t wear them
in public places. .Love to all. May we
come again? Will sign off, as we are
called—Four Farm Kates.

Your school-room is quite thickly
settled, I should say. Ten seats for
twenty-one scholars means two in a
seat and one to sit with the teacher.

I suppose you take turns doing that.

CONTEST WINNERS.

HIS contest proves that boys are

the best at drawing imaginary pictures
of a fellow. In this contest, the prizes
were for five girls and for five boys,

Free Trial of
Proved Swedish
Abortion Treatment

Famous Foreign Formula quickly relieves
badly infested herds. Gives amazing
results in cases believed hopeless.

Thousands of American Farmers say the
Froberg Swedish Abortion Treatment has saved
their herds from destruction. This remarkable
treatment has been used with complete success
in the big dairy herds of Sweden for many years,
and has cleaned up whole districts over there
literally rotting with contagious abortion.

 

  
   

 

It was only after great expense of tune and
money that this secret formula was made avail-
able to Amencan Farmers. During the past
nine years the treatment in American herds has
won all the amazing results that made it so
amous abroad. Herd after herd has been rid
of this disease. Even cows considered hopeless
by veterinarians have yielded to its healing
qualities and been restored to health and pro-
duced fine vigorous calves.
SAVED HIS HERD
David Mohr, Jenison, Michigan says: “Last
year I raised only one good call out of 14 cows
bred, all other calves were aborted. I was
desperate. I used your C. C. C. treatment.
This year with the same herd I have not lost a
single calf. It’s wonderful. My neighbor lost
3 calves in a few days—I gave him some
C. C. C. and it stopped the trouble right there.”
The fame of Cow Calf Control (C. C.‘ C.) the
name of this treatment has spread from breeder
to breeder. Today it is put out only on an ab-
solute binding guarantee that it will stop every
case of abortion; that every cow treated will
deliver a normal calf, or the treatment cost is
refunded. Two reliable banks stand behind our
guarantee. You can’t lose. C. C. C. is practically
100% successful.
SEND N 0 MONEY
MrJohn W.Froberg, a native of Sweden and a
large dairy owner. is responsible for introducing
C. C. C. into this country. He has made the
treatment easy to give, and at a cost per animal
that every farmer will gladly psy.

IT 'PA'YS‘TO FEED GRAIN ON THE
EARLY PASTURE.

HE pastures are starting and will
soon afford a good bite fer the
cows. A geod many farmers, especial-
ly those who are getting short of fod-
der, Will turn out the cows. Some
may think because the cows get grass
enough to fill themselves, and because
the flow of milk increases, there will
be no need of feeding hay or grain
any longer. And right here is where
many farmers make a mistake.

The fact of the case is this, fresh

 

 

 

agencies interested directly in the live "
stock industry, claims that on one mar
ket last June, ‘293 animals arrived dead
in shipment on one day. -
Among the hints given for loss pre-
vention are: Hot spells come sud-
denly, be prepared; bed cars with _
sand, not straw ;' wet‘car floors before
loading; spray water on feet and bel-
lies of hogs, but do not put cold water
on the backs of warm hogs; handle
animals patiently, and avoid excittiL
ment; haul hogs to shipping pensi; do
not feed just before or after loading;
do not crowd animals in cars; load

 

 

 

 

and succulent grass stimulates the pro-
duction of milk beyond what the nutri-
ment it contains will warrant. This
grass that has grown quickly lacks
substance; it is juicy and watery, and
the extra large quantity of milk which
it produces will rapidly reduce the
strength and vitality of the animal,

- consequently the flow of milk lessens,

unless some more substantial food is
given with the grass.

When cows are first turned to grass
therelis very little difference notice—
able in the amount of milk given,
Whether they are fed grain or not, and
for this reason many have been led to
believe that they get little or no ben-
efit from the extra feed. The good
results of feeding grain are shown
later on, in the way the cows keep in
better condition, and towards fall they
will be giving a much better flow of
milk, and in- the end, the owner will
find that he has been well paid for all
the grain he has given the cows while
on pasture. Many of our creamery
patrons feed as much as six pounds of
grain and think it is about as good as
any feed that can be given at this.

Dead Hog is Not Pork; Prepare
for 1927,” the Michigan Live Stock
Loss Prevention Association is going
out to attempt to curtail the enormous
live stock losses experienced in pre-
vious years through more careful
methods of handling animals in ship-
ment this year.
Michigan live stock shippers lost

$150,000 through careless shipping
methods in 1926, this organization in-
forms us.

The break from cold weather to
spells of unusually warm weather,
which come at this season of year, are
exceptionally hard on fat animals
packed closely in freight cars for ship-
ment. The animals have not become
accustomed to the warm weather and,
when in. transit during a. spring hot
spell, many are lost unless extra. care
is exercised in loading them. . -

FEWER.CATTLE 0N FEED.

HE number of cattle being fed for
market in the eleven corn belt

states on April 1, was 7.7 per cent
fewer than last year, according to an
estimate by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. According to the
oflicial report, current prices are likely
to stimulate increased feeding, but the
present cattle supplies indicate that
the marketings of fed cattle from Ap~
ril toSeptember can hardly equal the
very large marketings during the
same period last year, and the supply
of highly finished corn-feds is likely to
be smaller than in 1926, when it prob-
ably was the largest on record. ,

This estimate is a favorable omen
for the spring and summer cattle mar-
ket, but it is not conclusive. Last year,
the April 1 estimate of numbers on
feed gave no warning of the coming
supply of finished cattle which'glutted
the market until early winter. \ ’

Two years out of three, April sup-
plies are lighter than in March. In
the first quarter of this year, receipts
were smaller than in the-correspond-
ing period last .year. Thevfact that
cattle are averaging about five per
cent-lighter in weight is of some con:
sequence in the situation; but, if ar-
rivals keep up the recent volume, a
setback in prices is probable, with the
possibleexception of weighty. steers,
of which the supply appears to be in-
adequate.

 

WHERE TWINS ABOUND.,

N the farm of Mr. Len Stiff, locat-

ed in Argentine township, the cat-
tle and sheep displayed an unusual
prolificacy. Two of the cows, this
spring, gave birth to twin calves, and'
two ewes gave birth to triplet lambs.
While Mr. Stiff practices a system of

general farming, he finds his flock ‘of

eives‘ an unusually profitable unit of

. CONTEST in Which every entrant
is a winner is not an every-day
event in Michigan. Nevertheless, such
is 'the promise made to prospective
entrants in the 1927 Michigan Ton
Litter contest to be conducted again
this year by V. A. Freeman, of the
Michigan State College Animal Hus—
bandry Department. Even though a
contestant does not share in the gen-
erous list of prizes distributed at the
announcement of winners‘during Farm-
ers’ Week, he will gain much knowl-
edge in feeding hogs for quick gains
which will enable him to produce pork
at a less cost in the future. At any
rate, that is the claim of the animal
husbandry specialists. Any Michigan
farmer who desires may file his entry
with Mr. Freeman. of Michigan State
College, East Lansing, any time before
May 15.
. The number of entries received to
date indicate to Mr. Freeman that
there are quite a number of Michigan
farmers who not only think they can
fatten a litter to a ton weight in six
months, but are perhaps .even confi-
dent they can beat the record of 3,107
pounds recorded last year. Even
though they should succeed in this,
there are more worlds to conquer for,
as Mr. Freeman points out, in the corn
state of Illinois last year the prize—
winning litter numbered seventeen,
and 'tipped the beam at more than two-
and one~half tons—5,100 pounds, to be
exact—C.

QUESTIONS ON BREEDING.

Which would be the best dairy cow
What is meant by a line bred
bull? ’What is the difference between
in-bred and line bred? If a man has
all registered-cattle, can inbred be
registered '?—R. H. L.

The selection of the breed of cow is
a matter that must be decided by the
individual who is to own and work
with them. The deciding factors in
selecting a breed might be as follows:
Select that breed that predominates in
the community in which you live, se-
lect a breed that will fit into the re-
quirements of your market for milk
or dairy products, select that breed
that you really like the best. when you
have enough information to judge ac—
curately.

There is a great deal more differ-
ence to be found in individuals within
the breeds than will be found in com-
paring one breed as a whole, with an-
other breed. There are good as well
as poor individuals in all breeds.
When it comes to making the selec-
tions for a herd of cows that will be
profitable producers, the selection of
the individual is far more important
than that of the breed.

The Guernsey breed more nearly
compares with the Jersey in her gen—
eral characteristics. These two breeds
of cattle originated from the same
foundation stock. They are distinctly
different in color, size, and general ap-
pearance. The Guernsey gives a milk
which is very highly colored, but the
milk from the breed does not test
quite as high in butter-fat as does the
milk from the Jersey breed.- On the
other hand, the Guernsey cow pro-
duces a larger amount of milk than
the Jersey.

The term “in-breeding” is usually
applied to the practice of mating ani-
mals that are very closely related,
such as sire to daughter, son to dam,
or brothers to sisters. In a general
way it might be said that an animal
is in-bred when its pedigree shows
that the two nearest ancestors contain
fifty per cent or more of the same
breeding in their ancestry.

The term “line breeding” is applied
in acgeneral way to the mating of an-
imals that are related, but have less

‘ than fifty per cent of the some an-

cestry. 1 .
In—oreu animals of any given breed
can be registered in their particular

meet ’all , the "requirements necessary
as far as their purity of breeding is
c‘oncerned.—O. E. Reed, Professor
Dairy Husbandry, M. S. C.

GOATS AS A PROTECTION FOR
SHEEP.

Is it advisable to run goats with
sheep to keep dogs away? What kind
is best for this purpose?—A. J. D.

Yes. goats are a. source of protection
for sheep against dogs and coyotes. A
sheep will rarely attempt to defend
itself, but a goat has more courage
and will not only defend itself, but will
fight to defend the flock. Angora. goats
are best for this purpose. However,
don’t feel entirely safe withqthis pro-
tection for some rogs, esp‘eeially if
more than one attack at a time, will
not be driven away by goats.

*Members of the Genesee County

Jersey Breeders’ Association have
found that a special market for Jer-
sey milk has awakened a great deal of
interest in the association. A mini-
mum price of $3.00 a hundred weight
at the farm is being received by mem-
bers of the organization.

Several cases of hog cholera are re-
ported from various counties in the
state each month. Farmers should use
precaution in visiting neighboring
farms where there are sick hogs, and
in allowing stray dogs to roam around
hog lots.

VETERINARY.

Intestinal Parasites—How can I get
rid of lung worms in hogs? Also, how
do you treat intestinal worms? H. E.
—For intestinal worms, keep the pigs
off feed over night, then give one drop
of oil of chenopodium for each two
pounds of live weight, in two ounces
of castor oil. If over 100 pounds, give
111 four ounces of oil. Lung worms
are difficult to get rid of. The best
plan is to clean and scrub the hog
houses with a lye solution—one pound
of lye to thirty gallons of boiling wa-
ter. Also to plow up the old hog lots
——1'otating lots frequently. Keeping
hogs continually in the same quarters
and lots, is the chief cause of worm
infestation.

Mammitis.—Please tell me what to
do with one of my cows. She has a
swollen milk udder. It is the right
rear quarter. It does not affect the
milk in that quarter, the milk from
that quarter being as good as the rest.
It gets smaller and then it gets larger
again, and when I squeeze it, it feels
as though there were matter in it, but
that would disappear, and then the
next day come back again. The cow
seems to feel good. I used to feed her
silage, hay and ground feed. The cow
stands by a Window. H.—Discon—
tinue feeding grain for several days,
and give one pound of epsom salts.
Also give one tablespoonfui saltpeter
twice daily. Bathe the uddcr with hot
water every two hours. After the cv-
ening bathing, wipe dry and massage-
with warm camphorated oil.

Excessive Urination—I have a cow,
three years old next June, and would
like to know what is the trouble with
her. For three years she has been
passing her water every five minutes.

Last Sunday she came fresh with her m

first calf, and she still acts the same
as she did before. W. L.—This con-
dition can be brought about by eating
moldy foods and certain plants which
stimulate the kidneys. Since this con-
dition has been going on so long, it is
doubtful if anything can be done to
relieve this. Give two teaspoonsful of
tincture iodine in a quart of water at
one dose. Do not repeat this.

WHEAT.

Wheat prices have advanced during
the past week. Freezing weather in
Kansas, where the new crop is well
advanced, delayed planting of spring
wheat, a decline in primary receipts,
continued large absorption by import-
ing countries, and falling off in ship-
ments from the southern hemisphere
were the strengthening influences. The
extent of damage from low tempera-
tures in the hard winter wheat terri-
tory remains to be determined, and it
is too early to draw hard and fast con-
clusions as to the spring wheat acre-
age. The market naturally is sensi—
tive to such adverse weather develop—
ments, since the margin of world sup-
ply over demand is a narrow one. If
the weather should turn favorable
soon, however, the harm done thus far
might be largely overcome, so that the
situation is subject to quick change.

RYE.

The rye visible has begun to de-
crease, and a fairly heavy export move-
ment is probable in the next two
months. Reports that large amounts
are needed in Germany are persistent,
but actual buying has not fully reflect-
ed these needs.

CORN.

Corn prices have had a sharp up-
turn in the last few days. The delay
in plowing for the new crop, and re-
tarded planting in southern sections
have brought some change in senti-
ment. A rally was to be expected,
also, in View of the extent of the pre-
ceding decline. Cash market condi—
tions are not very healthy, although
they have improved to some extent.
Primary receipts have been light and
the demand has been broad enough to
cause moderate reductions in the vis-
ible supply for several weeks. Large
stocks at Chicago, and the possibility
that deliveries of winter-shelled corn,
which is hard to keep in condition in
hot weather, promise to be heavy and
tend to scare out speculative buyers.

OATS.

'Oats prices have been strong be-
cause of the fact that seeding is much
later than usual throughout the princi-
pal producing sections. The visible
supply has been reduced about 10,000,-
' , 000 bushels in two months. Some ex-
‘ " ‘ ort demand has appeared in the last

‘sgfew days. ' ‘ .

 

A .

Seasonal dullness prevails in the hay
market, resulting in an irregular price
trend. Small receipts are the chief
sustaining factor in the market. Pas-
tures in the Pacific Coast section are
in excellent condition, so that demand
for hay is nominal. The hand-to—mouth
policy which dealers have been follow-
ing for so long continues, as is usual
just prior to the opening of pastures.

SEEDS.

Seed prices remained on practically
the same level throughout April. The
heavy rains, particularly in the central
and southern states, during the past
two weeks have delayed farm opera-
tions and reduced the demand for seed.
The wet weather continues, accomp-
anied by lower temperatures. Demand
at the beginning of April for sweet
clover, alfalfa, timothy, red-top, seed
corn, oats and barley, was reported

" good, but less than normal for red clo-

ver, alsike clover, and millet.

FEEDS.

Demand for wheat feeds for prompt.
shipment from dealers who had al-
lowed their stocks to drop in anticipa-
tion of an early grass season, forced
prices higher last week. Warm weath-
er favorable to the rapid growth of
pasture would probably weaken the
market again.

EGGS.

Supplies of fresh eggs have been
more liberal during recent weeks than
in the corresponding period of any of
the past five years. Some, at least, of
the large supplies of eggs marketed
thus far have been attributed to the
earlier season, which may mean a fall-
ing off in the lay sooner than usual.
Prices have held fairly steady as deal-
ers apparently believe that the pre-
vailing level discounts the large avail-
able supplies, and do not expect any
declines of consequence.

Chicago—Eggs, fresh firsts at 23@
23140; extras at 24@24%c; ordinary
firsts 2.21/2c; dirties 211,40; checks at
21140. Live poultry, hens 300; broil—
ers 43@45c; roosters 15c; ducks 320;
geese 18c; turkeys 300.

Detroit—Eggs, fresh firsts at 231/2@

to growers, and Nevada wools at 296;),

BUTTER.

The butter market was unable to
hold the vantage point gained in the
advance of a week ago and has de-.
clined several cents. Production is
gradually increasing, the new grass
season is only a few weeks away, con-
sumption demand is beginning to feel
the effects of the high prices, and for-
eign butter continues to arrive, so that
dealers are buying only enough butter
to satisfy their immediate needs. An
unsettled market is to be expected,
with declines predominating over ad-
vances.

Prices on 92-score creamery were:
Chicago 480; New York 510; Detroit,
fresh creamery in tubs 47%@481/2c.

BEANS.

More active trade on the part of can-
ners resulted in an advance in the
bean market last week, with Michigan
C. H. P. whites quoted at $5 per hun-
dred pounds, f. o. b. Michigan shipping
points. Spring work and bad roads
have interfered with deliveries by the
growers, so that supplies have not been
burdensome.

POTATOES.

The potato market has failed to re-
cover from the setback of a week ago,
brought on as a result of increased
supplies and dull demand. Shipments
have declined, however, cooler weather
will tend to stimulate demand, and a
steadier market is generally expected.
Northern round whites, U. S. No. 1,
are quoted at $1.85@1.95 per 100 lbs.,

WOOL.

Wool prices have lost ground .in
the last week or ten days. The mills
have been buying in a conservative
way, and dealers have not been in-
clined to force the market upward as
they wish to accumulate the new clip
as cheaply as possible. Foreign mar-
kets also have quieted down, although
prices remain steady abroad. Buying
of wools at Boston for reexport seems
to have stopped for the time being.
Sales of Washington wools at 26@28c

STRAWBERRIES.

 

. A gain of about fifty per cent
in production over a year ago in the
early and second early straw-berry
states 18 expected this season. Prices
are declining under the rapidly in-
creasmg receipts. Average prices for
the season will undoubtedly be on a
lower level than last year. Louisiana.
24-pint crates of Klondikes, best qual-
ity, sell at $2.50@3 in the Chicago
wholesale market.

CATTLE PRICES CHECKED.

 

_ Cattle prices have had a sharp break
in the past .few days, the third since
the upward trend set in around the
first of the year. It is possible that a
period of irregularity .will take the
place of the previous rising trend.
The average price of beef steers sold
for slaughter at Chicago reached $10.70
in_ the week ending April 16, compared
With $9.10 late in December, and the
Chicago top for heavy steers reached
$14. The advance has made some
feeders more‘willing to sell, and mud-
dy feedlots have had the same effect.
As a result, receipts have had a spurt.
Probably the advance has tended to
check consumptive demand, also.

The break in the last few days af-
fected weighty steers severely, but in-
between kinds, which have been sub~
stituted for heavy steers when the lat-
ter'were scarce, declined most. Some
of these are 50 to 75 cents lower than
a. week ago. In general, the market
Situation is healthy and prices are like-
ly to remain on a relatively high level
for some time; but it hardly seems
Wise to expect that the advance will
carry much farther for a while, and
the break in. the last few days may
not be recovered at once. Fat cows
and heifers
dropped about 50 cents. Receipts prob-
ably will be scanty for another month
and prices should hold on a fairly high
level. The veal calf. market dropped
to a new low for the season, but an
upward trend probably will start with-

in the next two or three weeks.

The total earlot shipments of pota-
toes from Michigan during the current

season, is 14,355, as compared with"

11,958 to the same date last year. The
maJority of recent shipments are des-

western Pennsylvania points.

From Kirstin Users

My 13-year-old boy easily pulls big
solid birch stum s from red clay with
our Kirstin. It ocs all you claim and
more.— C. 13. Clark, Brampton, Mich:

It is wonderful the power your
, Kirstin develops. I use it for clear-
ing steep hillsides of oak, pine and
spruce stumps and standing trees. I
would not be without it.— B. 8.
Frederick, Pocket Ranch, Quincy, Cal.

My Kirstin is a wander. It pulled
green oak trees up to 24 inches in
diameter with surprising ease, and at
less cost than any other method.—
Albevt Kahle, Gascondale, Mo.

My neighbors are astonished to see ,
the Kirstin yank out the big ones. It.
gulls my largest stumps.— Martin

etc-non, Rio, La.

My Kirstin cleared six acres of
solid, sound tamerac and lir stumps
measuring up to 60 inches from hard
clay soil.—-Cha1les Flanm'gan, Springv
dale, Wash.

—————£—_——-

Last fall I cleared land of stumps
up to 34 inches in diameter. However,
not a single one sat hard enough to
show how much power my Kirstin
would develop.- E. Thompson. Culv
vc1, Minn.

My Kirstin has pulled probably
4,000 stumps—some locust stumps
with 20 to 35 foot roots. ‘No stump
puller could‘ be better.— Adam Billett,
Wn‘ghtsm’llc, Pa.
