E’VE been puzzling a long time

over just the right name for





 





icarefully what. we wanted it to be,

and after discarding a number of

,titles that somehow just didnft seem





Eto fit, we have selected this , one,

3“News and Views from Ingleside‘

Farm.”





. In the first place, we wanted to re-

assure our readers that this was a

humble column, penned in a real farm

home, by an actual farmer—not con-

jured up out of the fertile brain and

active imagination of an editor whose





by the roar and clamor of metropol-

itan traffic.



Now that you and I have reached a

little better understanding, and are in

a fair way toward getting acquainted,

let's talk over our plans a little

Ifurther. ‘



Q What we Mean by News.



1 From time to time we’ll probably

‘tell you how things are going on Ingle-

side Farm—report our achievements

!and our failures, share with you the





 





'Ibenefits of any new ideas or methods





gufhich we may have found helpful,

and point out the pitfalls into which

we have unwittingly fallen.



We don’t mean to imply that we

have any superior knowledge, skill or

ability more than that possessed by

other farmers, but there is always the

possibility of practical gain 'from an

exchange of experiences.



This is a generation when farmers

must think, and think straight. It will

not suffice to follow blindly in the rut

of previous practice, or to do things

a certain way, just because that is the

way that our fathers did them before

us.‘ Changing methods are demanded

to meet changing conditions. In the

face of perplexing present-day prob-

lems, all our ingenuity is demanded

to make a success of the business of

farming.



Farmer’s Broad Interests.



But life is more than food and rai-

ment. Farm life is vastly more than

merely trying to make a living from

crops, live stock, fruit or any other

farm products.



Let us not forget that it profits 3.

man nothing to gain even the whole

world if meanwhile he is losing his

own soul in the transaction. We farm-

ers are more than mere producers—,4

we are members of the nation’s larg-

est and most essential craft, citizens

of our communities and charged with

important family responsibilities. It

is of these broad and vital matters

that we shall write in coming issues

of the Michigan Farmer.



The farmer is not a workman or

business man at one time, and a fam-

ily man or community citizen at an-

other. He is all these things, and

more, too, at all times.



In no. other industry is the business

and. ‘t home so closely and in

‘timately—associated as in. agriculture.

That isiprobably the key. to the basic

explanation of the fact that the rural

homes have made such a notable con-

tribution to American' progress through

all the history of our republic.



The great catastrophe perpetrated

by the mad butcher of Bath has im-

lpressed upon us all the serious con-

sequences which come from harboring

the wrong kind of thoughts regarding

our fellowmen and public progress;

The tragedy enacted by Andrew Ke-

hoe should be a personal warning to

each one of us. .



It is said that his farm was one of





 





‘ the best equipped in Clinton county,

tions. It, provesonce more the truth



of the old statement that, “As 9. than



thinketh in his heart, so is he.” ‘

Ammunition is ’Plentiful. ,



This fact makes it seem perfectly

natural to mix “views” on many mat-‘

ters of mutual interest along with the

“news” of farm. affairs, and to print

both types of material in the same

column. . .



Having such a broad field to draw



from, there is little danger that we

shall run out of ammunition or find

the preparation of material for this

column monotonous. '

We don’t want this tube all onesid-

ed. In fact, it will make us very hap-

py to have the news and views from

your farm, and to print extracts from

your letters from time at time.

With these questions before them

Prof. John M. Evvard, head of the an-

imal husbandry experimental section,

and his staff, started their twelve lots

of cattle on feed December 30, 1926,

and continued until April 29, 1927, for

a total of 120 days.



Lot 6 was used as a general check

lot and received the standard ration

of shelled corn, linseed oilmeal, and

alfalfa hay. When fed in this manner

the steers made an average daily gain

of 3.197 pounds, at a cost of $10.09 per

cwt. gain, and returned a margin, ex-

cluding the returns from pork‘follow-

ing the cattle, of $16.15.



Another lot of cattle, or Lot 1, was

fed the same as Lot 6, except that

they received corn silage. The steers

receiving this ration made an average

daily gain of 3.079 at a cost of $9.03

per cwt. gain. At the estimated price

the price of $20 per ton. ~



The addition of a simple mineral

mixture to above ration improved it

Still further by reducing the cost of

100 pounds of gain to $8.39, and by

increasing the margin to $32.01. Thus

by adding one ounce of a mineral mix-

ture that cost about three cents per

pound, to the daily ration, the increas-

ed return amounted to $7.86. This

simple mineral mixture consisted of

limestone, high calcium, ground, 49.97

pounds; special bone meal, 49.97

pounds; potassium iodide, .06 pounds.

surd to cut the weeds in the corn field

while those by the roadside are left to

thrive, and help to reseed the field

again. .



If weeds are not in harmony with

our ideals of good farming, why is it

not good policy to direct the first ef-

forts in the way of their removal, to

the roadside, thus'not only benefiting

ourselves but all who travel the high-

way, as well?





Benefits derived from keeping the

roadside neat, are not alone esthetic.



Financial returns, though somewhat

indefinite, and rather roundabout, are

considerable; In the first place, aneat,

clean roadside improves the appear-

ance of the farm. Appearance is the

controlling factor aflr'ecting the value

of the farm. Hence, to improve its

appearance, increases its value.‘ Sec-

of its individual merits. From the fact

that non-residents of a community

give it its reputation, and that one of

the chief factors governing their de-

cision is the impression they receive

while passing through the locality, it

is evident that a nicely kept roadside

has a great influence in raising ‘the

agricultural reputation of a locality.

Better reputation means increased val-

ue. Third, an unkept roadside soon

becomes foul with weeds that grow

worse from year. to year.





Naturally, this is a source of infec-

tion to the surrounding land. Small

sprouts and vines appear along the

fences, and, if not destrdyed, will soon

develop into large tangled vines and

saplings. To replace a fence under

such conditions, practiéally necessi-

tates a small job of clearing. Elimi-

along the road, as is often the case,

keeping the roadside clean is, of

course, a little more difl‘icult. There

is considerable distance along our

to keep the‘level roadside clean, we

use a two-horse mower with the cut-.

to pass over all little knolls or bumps.

CURRENT COMMENT





IN commenting last

“7'





 





on Mar- eek on Senator



Capper’s appeal for

ket Devel- the development of

opments the rural markets of





America by relieving

the commercial handicaps to farmers,

‘e did not wish to give the impres-

sion that foreign demand for Ameri-

can products should not be given con-

sideration. '



Wherever goods produced in the

United States can contribute econom-

ically to the welfare and happiness of

mankind, there those goods ought to

be sold. The sessions of the Foreign

Trade Conference now being held in

Detroit, seek to promote that very

thing.



One result of foreign trade is that



it develops between nations a sounder

' understanding than can possibly be

brought about by any other means.

True it is, that nearly all wars are the

result of economic differences or mis-

understandings; still, the very fact

that nations will take such extreme

measures to settle these matters

proves the need for establishingta

sound code for international business.



But the chief reason for trading be-

tween nations is economic rather than

political. The world standard of liv-

ing is higher because of this traffic.

Goods move to the points of greatest

demand, which tends to level prices.

Both producers and consumers are

benefited. International business tends

to make the world a community.





But in spite of these worthyr advan—

tages, there are many good reasons

within nations for placing restrictions

upon this foreign traffic. Of these re-

strictions, tariff regulation is the most

important. The tariff not only affects

relations between nations, but may

give advantages or disadvantages to

industries or groups within the nation



ing them.

’ At this time there is criticiSm along

this. very line of our own Federal De-





 





 





pa“ ‘ 1

that this department is favoring





vestigation be made of the cost of

producing onions in Spain, since any

restrictions placed on that industry

would tend to curtail the consumption





of American manufactured articles by .





Spain’s imposing increased duties

thereon. The same department is re-

ported to have importuned the secre-

tary of agriculture not to stain alfalfa

seed from Argentine for a like rea-

son. And if we are correctly informed

it also wants the Federal Horticultural

Bureau to soften regulations against

the Mediterranean fruit fly.



These allegations came from a re-

liable source, and they prove how it is

possible f01 our own government

agents to use the tariff, which was de-

signed to protect the American stand-

ard of living as a whole, to favor one

group against another.



VV‘hile foreign business Should have

assistance, we believe that government

departments ought to act justly to all

American groups in the promotion of

both foreign and domestic trade.

He went alone, without provision for

landing in water, with little food, and

no baggage, and in a monoplane

which gave him no vision except

through a perishope. He had confi-

dence because he had carefully stud—

ied every detail.





It is not alone his accomplishment





that has made him popular; his ex-

ti'eme modesty and his consideration

of others has added to his esteem.

Lindbergh is not the product of the

crowd. He is a farm lad who liked to

be alone with‘his thoughts. But few

of the frivolities of life interest him,

and his clean habits and character

have added to his fame.





Lindbergh is due all the honors he

has received, and America can be





‘proud that such a clean-cut American





youth has gained‘this world-wide rec-

ognition. We believe that, as with all

who have really accomplished worthy

things, Lindbergh has found the, sat-

isfaction of doing worth while things

to mean more to him than the plaudits

of the crowd.

some or all of them, and naturally we

It will be neces-

'sary for common good that the ener-





“ gies used in this leisure time be di-

All through the ages music has been





' an important factor in the recreation,

, relaxation, and inspiration of the peo-





ple. It is one of the greatest means





' of enjoyment, expression, and educa-

' ~ tion, for it is universal in understand-





ing, and in expression it’can convey

any emotion of which a human is





’ - capable.





L, Carlyle has said, “See deep enough

and you ‘see musically; the heart of

nature being everywhere in music, if

you can only reach it.”



In the shaping of a well rounded

life, the necessity then is, that the





studyof good music be part of its‘





education. The city schools have re-

alized this and are making available

comprehensive music courses to those

even in the grammar schools. One

Detroit high school has $22,000 worth

of instruments available to the use of

its students, and its orchestra and





, band have gained enviable reputations





beyond the borders of that cty.



In rural sections, the study of musi-

cal understanding and appreciation

has not been developed as it has in

urban centers because of the lack of

facilities and capable instructors. Con-

solidated schools are making it easier

and the radio is bringing good music

to many who never heard it before.

Still, thousands of young folks seldom





hear good music in their homes, or in



schools and therefore, do not know



the benefits one can get through it.

This makes the work done in





Wayne county by Miss .Lois’ Corbett,





Home Demonstration Agent, and Ralph

Carr, County Agricultural Agent, of an

outstanding and pioneer type. They

have interested boys and girls in mu-

sic in addition to their regular club’





The thought~was that the regular

club work involved only the practical

side of youthful activities, and that an

interest in music would develop the

.emotional and aesthetic side of life,

and would help to make the club work

a well-rounded program of construc-

tive training for the rural youth.



The regular club work is often done

in connection with rural schools, the

activities. The high average of ninety-

three per cent of the young folks who

finished their recent winter club pro-

jects and the attendance of over 400

at the Achievement Day activities on

April 23, Show that they have the

young people interested. This is com-

mendable because both are doing this

club and music work in addition to

their regular duties.





Mr. Carr has long felt the need of

musical training for rural children,

but it was not until Miss Corbett un-

dertook the home demonstration ac-

tivities that a practical program was

worked out.





rural teacher acting as local leader.

So, naturally, the music appreciation

work should find its best field in the

schools. The chief objection was that

most schools did not have facilities.

Miss Corbett overcame this handicap

by procuring a good portable phono-

graph and records of some semi-clas-

sic music familiar to those who know

good music.





Two years ago, Miss Corbett started

out with this equipment which, by the

way, is rather heavy for a young lady

to handle. She received a fine re-

sponse to her efforts from the young

folks, and the teachers cooperated wil-





 





lingly. The efforts that winter were ' "

directed wholly to teaching the recé ,

ognition of tunes and melodies and'

the interpretation of those melodies.»

Some rather amusing~incidents 00?:._.:g

curred in connection with this work; ‘ " ‘

“In one case,





Miss Corbett said.

where the ‘Whistler and His Dog’ was

played, a pupil imagined it referred

to a wedding, perhaps because it start-

ed with a march.

indicated that the whistler was going

somewhere. The rest of the piece

brought out the music of a band, per-

haps at a circus or in the park, and it

ended with the dog barking, thus indi-

cating that the boy was not alone.” _





“At one school,” Miss Corbett, tell- .





ing of another incident, said, “The

teacher told of the life of Robert Schu-

man, composer of Traumeri, in a rath-

er matter-of-fact and practical way.

Then Traumeri was played and sev-

eral of the pupils remained listless

and uninterested. If the teacher had

told that young Schuman, lying on the

grass, gazing into the blue sky and

letting fancy roam, evolved the tune

of Traumeri, the pupils, with a famil-

iar background, might have had a dif-

ferent conception of it” ~





In reply to the suggestion that their

imaginations were considerably warp-

ed, Miss Corbett said, “Yes, warped,

but better warped than dormant.”



In some of the school districts musi-

cal understanding was found in its

crudest form—almost entirely absent.

In one such plaCe the teacher, by dili-

gent effort, had trained the children

to sing “America the Beautiful.” The

efforts were fine for them, but, com-

paratively, they were very bad. HOW-

The Importance of Green Manurcs





Big Factors in Main tenance of Soil Fertility





VERY resident of the state of

Michigan is aflected financially

and socially by the soil condi-



In many sections of the state

the status of the soil fertility is the

outstanding problem. One of the great-

est needs of Michigan soils is- organic

Following are methods of

supplying this need.



1. Use of green manures and crop





residues.





2. Grow legumes to maintain nitro-





gen content and organic matter.





3. Plan a legume in the crop rota-

tion. .



The question may well be asked,

"What are green manures?” By the





. term “green manures” we mean crops





grown for the purpose of plowing un-

der, thereby maintaining or increasing





net in general on three sets or





,1,’





Soil fertility '





and biological, although the lattermay

ultimately be expressed in terms of

the chemical factors. '



Organic matter increases the mois-

ture-holding capacity of the soil. When

added tO-a stiff clay it loosens it and

prevents the compacting of the soil;

when added to a sandy soil it tends to

bind together the sand particles and

enables the soil to hold more mois-





ture, thus preventing the rapid drying





out during dry weather. For the best

growth of plants, both air 'and mois~

ture are needed around the roots.

When a heavy soil dries and becomes

hard, it shuts out the air. The roots

then suffer, not only from lack of

moisture, but from lack of air. In a

soil full 'of organic matter, plant roots

grow, rapidly and extensively, but in a

soil deficient in organic matter the





 





growth is restricted.

’ Not only do plants make the better.





growth in a soil well—supplied with or-

ganic matter, but the activities of the

soil bacteria are largely dependent on

the supply of decaying organic mat-

ter. These bacteria need food and

air. They get the food from the de—

caying vegetable matter and can get

the air much better in a soil well-sup-

plied with organic matter than in a

hard dry soil lacking organic matter.

In sandy soils there is air enough, but

the vegetable matter, helpspto hold

moisture and thus helps the bacteria.

The presence of organic matter also

tends to keep the soil temperature

more uniform. .



Before green manures can be used

by the next crop, they must decay.





This is brought about by several mic-r





roscopic organisms, and is “a cemplex

process. The mineral constituents are

gradually set free and we find the

potassium . and phosphoric: acid deriv~





surface soil i





 





ed from the decaying organic matter

more available for the next crop than

that naturally found in the soil. The

decay of the organic matter also

forms compounds that help to make

more potash and phosphoric acid

available. Thus it is seen that green

manures actually add no potash or

phosphoric acid to the. soil, but they

increase the availability of that al-

leady there.

nure crops get food from the subsoil

and upon decay' g this is left in the

proper form for the

next crop. '



The most important single element

required by plants is nitrogen, due to!

the fact that nitrogen is the most ex-





pensive of any plant food element; ,





larger quantities are used than of oth-





loss of nitrogen by leaching.

taking this. nitrogen from the air and

making use of it in their grthh. 'E‘x—

periments at the Newt/Jersey Experi-

ment Station showed that each acre

of clover took fifty-four pounds of

nitrogen from the air, and when plow!

ed under made it available to the next '

crop. Analyses of ,several legumes

have been made showing contents of

nitrogen in the abovegr‘ound parts av-

eraging about 200 pounds 'per acre.

The late Dr. Hopkins, of Illinois, cal-





. culated that about two-thirds of the

, nitrogen in a clover crop comes from





the air. If this is true, a well—grown

crop of legumes would add, when

plowed under, 100 to 130 pounds of

nitrogen per acre. This would be equal

to about 700 pounds of nitrate of soda'

which would cost practically $25.

This is probably true, approximately,

under Michigan conditions. We know

that nitrogen is added to the soil

when a legume crop is plowed under.

In order for the legumes to get the

nitrogen from the air. the nodule or-

ganisms must be present, so it is im-

portant that we inoculate the seed

when we sow it.





Comparing green manures with sta-

ble manure. the New Jersey Experi-

ment Station found that a crop 01‘

green manure would contain as much

phosphoric acid and potash, and near-

ly as much nitrogen and organic mat-

ter as ten tons of stable manure, as

used by the sweet potato growers

there. The nitrogen in the green ma-

nure was more available than that in

the stable manure and, therefore,

lmatter of crop production and main-

tenance of the nitrogen content'of the

l The value of a green manure crop

'is shown in the crops that follow it.

Ninety-one per cent of the farmers

raising 100 bushels of corn per acre

in the Ohio ten-acre contest, grew a

legume immediately preceding the‘

,corn. In the lOO-bushel per acre po—

tato club in Pennsylvania, eighty per

better results will result if the green

the plowed soil should be packed with

The question may arise as to what

crop to grow for green manure pur-

poses. There are several things to





consider in answering this question,





When used in a rotation, alfalfa,

sweet clover, or common clovers are

usually used, the first crop being cut

for hay or used for pasture, and the

second crop plowed under for green

manure. Sweet clover, a legume, is

probably one of the best, if not the

best, soil builder we have. However,

it will not grow on an acid soil, so if

the soil is acid and we cannot apply

manure. Buckwheat is sometimes

used for green manure. It puts a‘

Practically all soils of Michigan

need organic matter. Beneficial re:

sults are obtained from its use out

heavy clay soils as well as on sandy}

ones. The use of commercial fertile

on soils containing plenty of organic

Was much interested in your recent

article, “Getting Corn Rows Straight,”





"and wonder if you can help me in my





difficulty. I have no trouble in get-

ting straight' rows lengthwise of the

rows, but cannot get them straight

crosswise, as they seem to zigzag, and

it is impossible to cross-cultivate with

a. two-row cultivator. Some say I

have 'the neckyoke too low, others too

high; ‘some say the Wire is too tight,

others too loose. Perhaps you can

tell me what my difficulty is and how

to remedy it.—-R. G. R.



I dOubt if the tension of your wire

is at fault, provided you keep it the

same all the time, and ,keep the line





straight across the field. Keeping the





. spring half-way compressed makes a





very good rule. After you have plant-

ed six or eight rows, go back a hun-

dred feet or so, dig down under a but-

ton and locate the hills and set up

short sticks in the hills on all six of

the rows. ,



Now notice whether the hills are

ahead or behind the general line,

keeping in mind the direction the

planter was going each time. If the

hills are dropped behind the lines each

time, the runners and the kick-out

valve needs to be moved ahead, which

can be done by shortening the neck-

yoke straps, or by changing the ad

justment at the front of the planter if

there is one. If this does not quite

do the work, the wire tension can be

loosened somewhat. If the hills are

ahead of the line, drop the runners

back by loosening the neckyoke straps

or with the tongue adjustment. If

still more is needed, use a tighter

Wire tension—I. D.





IS LARGE OR SMALL PULLEY

BEST?





 





I have a three-quarter horsepower

electric motor which drives a milking

machine pump. The pump is equipped

With an eighteen-inch pulley, and so

necessitates a five-inch pulley on the

motor ‘in order to get the required

revolutions per minute on the pump.

Does a. pulley of this size cause un-

necessary wear on the motor bear-

ings? Would it not be better to put

a smaller pulley on pump and equip

the motor with about a three-inch pul-

ley?—J. H.



No, if your present five-inch pulley

on the motor is carefully balanced, it

Will be easier ‘on both your motor bear-

ings and belt than a three-inch one

would be. You have now a belt speed

of about 2,300 feet per minute, which

is a pretty efficient belt speed. If you

put on a. three-inch pulley, you will

have a belt speed of around 1,400 feet

per minute, which is too low, and twill

require nearly twice the belt tension

that your present belt speed does.

Also, with a three-inch pulley, both the

belt slippage and the belt bending will





be excessive, both of which will wear.





the belt pulley. Belt speeds should

be kept as near 2,600 to 3,000 feet per

minute as possible—D.





 





ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY OF

MILKING MACHINES.





 





N extensive study as to the econ-

omy and efficiency of milking ma-

chines is‘being made by the Dairy

Husbandry Department of Iowa'State

College, Ames,.lowa. While the work

is not completed, the most recent re-

sults indicate that:

1. The use of the machine does

not affect the milk flow.

2. With a herd of approximately





higher than with hand-milking.



5. The sediment content of ma-

chine-drawn milk is lower than that .of

hand-drawn milk.





 





BLOW-OUT.





 





HEN a tube blows out inside the

casing, it is because the tube is

wrinkled, folded or pinched. Care

should be used when plaCing the tube

inside the casing to. see that‘it is





,straight and smooth.





SPRING CLIPS.





 





UT a wrench on the front axle

spring clips occasionally. You





may avoid a broken spring, or prevent -





the axle shifting out ’of line. Inhi-

dentally, greater safety will be insur-

ed, together with less tire Wear.





KEEP THE ~GARAGE VENTILATED.





 





EVER run the motor for any



length of time in a small closed

garage. If the carburetor adjustment

is not perfect, the exhaust gases may

contain the poisonous carbon mon-

oxide. ‘





KEEPING POTATOES FROM

CRACKING.





 





HE cracking of potatoes is gener-

ally due to grOWing conditions and

is termed growth cracks. Growth

cracks are of most common occur-

rence in seasons of heavy rainfall,

particularly when a wet August and

September follow a comparatively dry

July.

Closer spacing of hills in the row





is a common means of reducing this ~





trouble. Generally, it is not so severe

where the rows are thirty-six inches

apart and the hills twelve to fifteen

inches apart in the row. It is mest

pronounced where the hills are spaced

both ways, say thirty-six by thirty-six

inches—H. C. Moore.

DEVELOPING RURAL MUSIC AP-

PRECIATION.





 





(Continued from page 719).

ever, a start had been made in the

right direction.



Last winter, in addition to training

in melodies and their interpretation,

recognition of instruments was includ-

ed. This-increased the interest, and

in a short time the young folks would

proudly say that such and such solo

part was done by a viloin, cello, flute,

cornet, etc., as the. case might be.

They learned to differentiate the

woodwind instruments from the brass.

It seems that they could easily com-

prehend what an orchestra was, but

with some difficulty learned a band

was not the drums alone.





While these young folks had learned

through the phonograph the sound of

the various instruments, many did not

know what they looked like. Their

opportunity came on Achievement Day

in April, when one of the features of

the program was the appearance of

the All-City Elementary School Or-

chestra of Detroit. This orchestra con-

sists of sixty of the outstanding stu-





dents of their respective instruments





in all the grammar schools in the city.

The orchestra, under the direction of

Fowler Smith, a leader in public

school music, rendered many of the

pieces Miss Corbett’s young people

were familiar with.





This was a real treat for these

young folks, as many said that they

had never seen some of the instru-

ments before, and it was a joy to

them to see and hear actually played,

the instruments whose sounds they

had become familiar with through the

phonograph.



It was a fine commendation of Miss

Corbett’s work for. Mr. Smith to say

that he could tell the ydung folks were





- properly trained by the way they list-





ened. Further indication that she was





that the method Mr. Smith used, and





the explanations he made on Achieve-





ment Day, closely paralleled those

The interest in musical education

has been so stimulated by this work

that the county school commissioner’s

office is urging schools to buy phono-

graphs in order to make music study

easier.





Music is a. vital factor in life. Bovee

said, “Music is the fourth great mate-

rial want of our natures, first food,

then raiment, then shelter, then mu-

Horace Walpole said, “Had I chil-

dren, my utmost endeavors would be





to make them musicians.” Also our

own Henry Ward Beecher, “Music

cleanses the understanding, inspires





it, and lifts it into a realm which it

would not reach if it were left to

itself."



This work, therefore, is a step in

t_he “right”. direction. In due time, mu-

FERTILIZING YOUNG TREES.





 





ACH season brings inquiries from

‘ fruit growers regarding young

trees with, burned leaves, or trees that

have failed to start. In many cases

the trouble has been traced to too

heavy application of commercial fer-

tilizer. .

In tests‘on yearling apple trees with

varying amounts of several common

commercial fertilizers in most cases,

either no benefit has been obtained,

or else injury has resulted. Even ma-

nure applied too close to the trees, or

too heavily, has resulted in less growth

of the treated trees than of untreated

trees.

For a tree the first year it is set,

there is nothing so good as thorough

cultivation. If fertilizers are used,

they should be kept well back‘from

the tree and applied in moderate

amounts, especially on light soils. The

practice of putting fertilizers in tree

holes at setting time is more likely

than not to end disastrously..





TO ADVERTISE APPLES.





 





NATION-VVIDE campaign to raise



a $4,000,000 national advertising

fund to carry on a four-year ad—

vertising program for the apple indus—

try of the United States will start im-

mediately, according to Paul C. Stark,

president of Apples for Health, Inc.,

which is sponsoring the campaign.



Discussing the purpose of the cam-

paign, Mr. Stark said: “It is just one

great, all-embracing movement on the

part of apple growers and allied con-

cerns to put the apple back in its old

time place of favor with the American

public, a place which it deserved and

deserves by reason of its many bene-

ficial qualities.”



Campaign headquarters have already

been opened. in Indianapolis, Mr. Stark

announces. A nation—wide organiza-

tion, embracing and representing the

growers of all varieties of apples, and

in all sections of the country, is now

being built up. Committees to direct

the work are being formed. Among

them are a national fund-raising com-

mittee, an advisory advertising com-

mittee, and a nation-wide “Teach the

Millions” committee.



It is not the purpose of Apples for

Health, Inc., to call on any growers,

on any shipper, on any railroad, or on

any allied concern for an enormous

amount for this campaign. It is not





‘ proposed that the movement shall be





a burden on anyone. '1



In twenty years the California or-

ange growers have increased their

sales\from $12,000,000 to $75,000,000

annually. In ten years the raisin

growers have increased their sales

from 70,000 to 200,000 tons each year.

The pineapple growers of Hawaii have





educated the public away from eating





fresh pineapples and have taught

them to. use canned pineapples in-

stead. These are only three of over

thirty similar examples that might be

quoted, where growers or producers

have built up their industry by well

conducted advertising and merchan-

dising methods.





 





HOW TO PRODUCE RED APPLES.





 





APPLES ‘high. in color help sell

themselves. Getting that color in





.the apples is the job, and one that





experienced producers plan for well

in advance of picking time.



Five aids to producingapples of

high color have been given by F. C.

Sears, pomologist at the Massachu-

setts Agricultural College, as follows:



First, keep the tree open enough to

let in sufficient light. Second, space

the. trees widely enough in the ,o'r-





 





   

 





‘ chard» so that they ‘may get plenty of ,





   





 





light; 'or if fillers have been used, re- '

move them before they crowd so much!

as to give poor color. , .



Third, use fertilizers more carefully '

so as to obtain the proper degree of

growth for gobd color Without the

much foliage.

rieties to our soils in order to get the

best color. One soil Will give highly

colored Baldwins, but poorly colored

fruit of some other varieties.



Fifth, thin the fruit. Though better

color is only one beneficial effect of

thinning, it is .an important one.

‘Color is chiefly dependent on ma‘

turity and sunlight. To get good color

maturity should be hastened by avoid-

ing the use of undue amounts of nitro-

genous fertilizers, by sod culture where

practicable, by stopping cultivation

early, and by using large-growing cov-

er crops. Utilizing sunlight to the

best advantage involves pruning to

open up the tree, and thinning to ex-

pose dnore surface to the su-n. ‘

WIDTH OF ROADS.





 





Please let me know if there is any

road in Michigan wider than four

rods. Some say the old territorial

road that runs from Detroit is six

rods wide—A. F. P.





Your subscriber is correct in un—

understanding that the old trail from

Detroit to Mt. Clemens was originally

a six-rod right of way. As a matter

of fact, there are a number of other

old territorial highways in the State

which were originally a six-rod right

of‘way, among these is Woodward av‘

enut from Detroit to Pontiac;

River Road from Detroit to Lansing;

Michigan avenue from Detroit to Ann

Arbor, and a number of others.



Unfortunately, through encroach-

ments of the adjacent property own«

ers, the title of a large amount of this

right of way reverted to the property

owners by adverse possession. The

Legislature-of1907 remedied this mat-

ter by providing that no land along

public highways could be acquired by

adverse possession, but that land

which had been held for fifteen years,

prior to the passage of this Act, would

not .be affected by the provisions of

the Act. This Act came too late to

save for the public a large amount of

the wider rights of way on the old.

territorial roads—V. R. Burton.





TRESPASS BY CHICK-ENS.





 





I have a small farm. My neighbor’s

chicken house is close to the line. The

chickens have caused quite a bit of

damage to my crops. I have informed

him of this and asked him to keep his

chickens off, and he refuses to do so.

What shall I do in this case? Shall

I shoot them, poison the seed, or do‘I

have to go to law? What is the law

regarding this ?———F. B.



The neighbor is liable for the dam-

age done by his chickens. This dam‘

age may be enforced by taking the

chickens while trespassing, shutting

them up, and notifying the owner to

pay the damage and redeem them ;- or





by an action for damages. The person 1,

against whom the damage is commit-





ted would be liable for killing the

chickens.—-Rood. . g

Hal Shows Beth a Treasure





ploration of a secret passageway



leading from the basement of the

House of the Lone Oak by visitors to

the new home, Hal listened attentive-

ly as Beth and her new friend, Juanita

Fernandez, chatted above. “What did

your brother find?” asked the strange

girl. and it seemed to Hal that there

was veiled excitement in her .voice.

Beth’s reply was careless and flippant

as she replied. “Dirt, mostly. And a

lot of it on his face and hands. Let’s

go out doors. Mother, you take Mrs.

Fernandez into the living room. It’s

cleaner there."



I‘nnoticed, Hal slipped up the base-

ment stairway. sneaked off to the old

barn where he brushed the dirt from

his clothing, and at the well washed

grime from face and hands. Then

quite presentable, he sought Beth and

her friend, a lively curiosity awak-

ened to see this daughter of the. wom-

an with a strange name and foreign

accents. He found them in animated

conversation, Beth’s acquaintance evi-

dently retailing gossip of the commu-

nity. “We come here not long before

the old Captain died,” Juanita Was say-

ing, “but we hear much of the mys

but he won’t tell me, although I am

his friend. Perhaps he will tell you,”

and the strange girl laughed mischiev-

iously.



“Ahem,” announced Jack, as he

strolled up, having no desire to ap-

pear as eavesdropping.



“My brother. Hal,” introduced Beth.

“And this is Juanita Fernandez. How

jolly, Hal, that there will be four of

us young folks right here in this

neighborhood.”



“Glad to know you,” said Hal, clasp-

ing a warm, brown hand and looking

“Call me Juanita,” laughed the dark

A Cottage Prayer Meeting





Our Weekly Sermon—By N. A. McC-un.





DO not know just why such meet-

I ings are called cottage prayer



meetings, unless it is that they

began back in England among the

poorer classes, where they live in cot-

tages. But you know what is meant:

a meeting for Bible reading, prayer

and song in a private house. Very

ancient and honorable, such meetings

are. The first Christian meetings were

held in private homes. Mark’s moth-

er’s home was such a church, (Acts

12:12); so was the home of Philemon

,——“the church in thy house, (Philemon

2); the same was true of Priscilla.

and Acquilla, (I Cor. 16:19). And

when Peter “preached” in the home of

Cornelius, it was really a house pray—

er-meeting. ,

, :It was so here,

anyway. "Cornel- »

. ius was a centun

, ion in'the Boman

' ~ army; that is, he .





commanding 100

men. One day,

' ' " ‘ being a religious

man, he Was in prayer, and saw a

vision in which he was told to send

servants to *J’oppa, about forty miles

away, to get Simon Peter to come to

Caesarea. At the same hour Peter

was in Joppa, and he saw a vision,

but altogether different from Cornel-

ius’s. He saw a large blanket let

dowu from the sky, filled with all kinds

of beasts, and was bidden to kill and

eat. He shrank from this, being an

orthodox Jew, and said he had never

eaten anything common or unclean.

The divine voice said, “What God has

cleansed you must not call common.”

This took place three times, then Pet-

er awoke. Just then the servants

from Cornelius appeared at the door,

and requested him to come to Caes-'

area, at once, to see the centurion on

an important matter. Something with-

in him .told him to go with them, and

have no fear. He promptly went.





Arriving the next day, Cornelius

tells him of his vision, and Peter tells

Cornelius of his vision. It is plain

that this Gentile family are called to

be Christians as fully as any of the

Jews. (Almost all the first Christians

were Jews). And as Peter is conduct-

ing this cottage prayer meeting he is

convinced that these members of Cor-

nelius’s family should be baptized,

which is accordingly done. How sim-

ple and unstrained it all is, and how

effective.



Peter was called to task for doing

this. His fellow Christians in Jerusa-

lem said to him, “You not only preach-

ed to this Gentile family, but you ac-

tually ate with them!.” That was aw-





 





ful. Eat with those. miserable Gen-

tiles! But they had much to learn, .

yet. And when Peter rehearses what





he has done, they begin to see the

light. Gentiles can be Christians!

the whole thing. These college stu-

students were, present, from colored

colleges. These students were housed

across the city in “nigger town,” and

when noon came they had to travel

across the city to restaurants in that

part of the city, as only there were

young people had been discussing in-

denly ,it occurred to someone that

here was an -opportunity to practice

what they had been preaching. A mo-

tion was made arid quickly passed,

that the several hundred delegates

would patronize no cafe or cafeteria

go with them. A few minutes later I

Jesus as told of in the New Testament.



Again Peter, as last week, comes

back to the fact that he and his col-

leagues are witnesses of the life of

Christ. That is the note that wins

the respect and the devotion of men

and women—a religion that is certain,

that you and I and all ordinary folks

can experience for ourselves. \Vhat

they taught about Jesus was simple,

in those days. It was, that He was

the promised Messiah, that He died-

and rose again. They staked every-

thing on the fact that He rose from

the dead. They hazarded their lives

on that. Without that, they said, there

is not much hope. We want a future

that is full of joy and beauty.



The future is not emphasized as

much as it used to be, but we are

coming back to it. We have been so

busy with our inventions here in

America, running our new automo-

biles and listening over our radios,

that we have dulled the ear for the

music of the next world. But interest

in that is awaking. There is a re-

surgence of interest in eschatology.

MAKING PROFITS FROM LATE

CHICKS.





 





HICKS in May and June often





prove the most profitable. The

reason for this is that the weather

conditions are more favorable in late

May and June than any other time of

the year. Young chicks need even





temperature, and these two months

'have less fluctuations than any other





spring and summer months.



Added to that is the fact that there

is always an abundance of. sunshine

to give chicks the needed vitamin

“D” through its direct rays. For May

and June chicks there is usually no

need to feed'extra. growth—producing

foods to take the place of the sun’s

rays, as there is plenty of sunshine.



Then, too, green growth is most suc-

culent, tender and abundant in May

and June. For chicks earlier than

this,’ some artificially grown green food

must be supplied, but nature furnishes

an abundance of rich green food for

May and June chicks.



Chicks can be outdoors more hours,

and chicks outside get the needed sun-

shine and fresh air.



An objection urged against summer

chicks is the fact that they must be

kept away from older chicks because

no two different ages of chicks should

be allowed to run together on the

same range. V





You can save labor in operating

your brooder stove with summer

chicks because usually the chicks can.

do without the brooder stove in sum-

mer time earlier than in the spring

months. You do not have to watch

chicks so carefully for changes in the

weather conditions. Feeding methods

for summer chicks are no different

from spring chicks, in fact, easier, be-

cause of green feed and outdoor

weather so chicks can range.



The same houses can be used for a

brood of summer chicks that have

been used for spring chicks. Put the

early chicks out on range, then fill

your houses with new chicks. The

houses must be well cleaned and the

yards plowed between each brood of

chicks. ~





For these and other natural rea~

sons, chicks in these two months make

rapid growth and often overtake the

earlier chicks, and even beat them in

finishing.



Breeders of birds for exhibition have





‘ long known that many of their best





show specimens were from late chicks.



The poultry flock can be reproduced

cheaper during May and June than at

any other time of the year, owing to

this easy growth of chicks. Also, the

prices of baby chicks are reduced for'

season—R. V. Hicks.





HANDLING TWO BREEDS.





 





F you raise both light and heavy



breeds of poultry it may pay. you

to separate them during the summer

in order to retard or hasten growth

and maturity. Last season a. neighbor

hatched both Wyandottes and Log-

horns in March, and allowed the chicks

to run together with the same ration

before them. On our. own farm were

a similar group of Leghorns and Reds,

both hatched at the same time. We

brooded these chicks together, but as

soon as they were past the; stage for

artificial heat, the varieties were sep-





arated. We kept a. low protein con— :





tent mash before the Leghorns and

allowed them to look for much of their

feed on the range.

fed some grain, but‘ the Reds were

fed at hoppers, both grain and a me-

dium mash. Our Reds went into the





laying house in well-planned (Solidi-1'.

Leghorns got an undeserved black eye

until our-neighbor came over and com-





‘pared- notes, when he took the blame





upon himself. These early hatched

birds could have been handled by feed-

ing a less rich ration—chiefly grain—-

so they would not have moulted. Ours

did not moult. ‘

the breeds dealt with However, the

same problem confronts anyone who

is trying to handle light and heavy

varieties together. If both are early

hatched there is always the possibility

of forcing the light breeds so they will

go into a partial false moult after lay-

ing a few eggs. If both are hatched

in April, the same feeding methods

will suffice, but later than this the

heavier breeds, especially Rocks, Orp—

ingtons and breeds of that weight, as.

well as the heavy meat breeds, will

need to be hurried along, probably

faster than the light breeds which

were hatched at the same time.

Heavy grain feeding’is not sufficient.

to bring maturity to these late hatches

at the proper time. They need a good

mash mixture before them all the-





‘time, and we have found plenty‘ of





milk a big help in putting them in

the laying house ready for business

in the fall. . On the other hand, it is

sometimes profitable to keep 'the early

hatched light breeds maturing as fast

as one consistently can. Get them

laying early, while egg prices are high,

then if they go into a partial moult.

and rest, they can profitably be used

the next spring as breweries—W. C. S.





COD LIVER OIL.





I have a bottle of cod liver oil ex-

tract compound. I got it for mychil-

dren to take, but they don’t like it,

even in, milk. It has set here for a.

year. I wonder if I could give it in

water or milk to the chicks, and what

amount per quart? It contains alco—

hold, fifteen per cent, with hypophos.

phites—containing calcium, sodium,

potassium, manganese, iron, str’ych-

fine, Bimini“ and sodium citrate.—

WHY (HAVE CTpOTHACHE?





 





0 much of the mystery and so



much of the agony have been re-



moved from‘ dental work that lit-

tle excuse remains for theperson who

allows his teeth to go unattended un-

til there remains in the oral cavity

.nothing'but a foul row of discolored,

mal-odorous, offensive stumps. EVen

the excuse of “no time” fails, for in

this advanced day the ~dentist can do

much at a single visit.



Of course, the important thing to do

is to take such constant good care of

your valuable ivory assistants from

their very earliest appearance, that

they will remain sound. The dentists’

slogan is, “A clean tooth knows no de-

cay.” ' There is much truth in it. But'

the maintenance of cleanliness in this

day and/ age, When our diet is soft

and clinging, rather than hard and

cleansing, demands constant vigilance.



The most valuable information that

I ever received about the care of teeth

did not cqme to me until rater late in

the day. ‘I found my gums bleeding

easily,an and in addition there was the

ugliness of “receding gurus.” .I went

to good dentists, but, the one who did

most for me did it by a very simple

hint. He said that brushing the teeth

and gums for five minutes every day,

brushing them with a. stiff brush in

spite of bleeding, would soon harden

the gums and settle the question of

bleeding. I bought a new toothbrush,

went Vigorously to work with faithful,

daily, five-minutes~by-the—watch brush-

ing, and in a few months my teeth

were better than in years; and they





have continued so.





The X-Ray has become a great ally

to dentists. It is a great advantage

before beginning dental work to get a

good picture of the,teeth. This will

LOSING MIND THROUGH WORRY.





 





What do. you think about people los-

ing their minds from family worries?

I have had a lot of trouble in late

yea1s, and at night I get to feeling so

desperate, I wonde1 if it is safe for me

to be alone ——\Vidow





Comparatively few people really lose

their minds from worry. When we

come to investigate such cases we

usually find some early history that

explains the cause of the mental break,

and it is not common worry. I do not

think that a person who is in your

frame of mind should allow herself to





live alone, and I think you should seek _





some change; but believe that you

need have no fear of insanity.

craft have proved most successful, ac-

Stories From Bugvillc

Mr. W [lite Grué Become: Mr. Clumsy June Bug





NE warm day in June, Mr. White

Grub wiggled his way out of the

ground and blinked at the bright

sunshine.



“The sun is too warm,” he said, “I’ ll

stay down here Where it’s cool,” and

he wiggled his crooked way back into

the earth again.



He had scarcely disappeared when

a tall blade of grass growing nearby

cried, “Ouchie, ou.’

Mr June Bug poked his head out of

way through the grass in search of

of pinchers just like he had had when

he was Mr. White Grub, only larger.

He had not gone far before he discov—

ered that he had wings.

“You won’t laugh at me again, you

saucy little fellow,” he said, and op-

ened his pinchers ready to grab Mr.

house Fly.



But he was so clumsy that Mr.

House Fly flew away before Mr. June

Bug’s pinchers were even opened.



After bumping into the wall several



,times, he finally found the door and

flew out into the air again. This time

in his blundering flight he bumped

“kerbang” into a leaf on a Maple

Tree.



“You clumsy fellow,” said the Ieaf,

“can’t you see where you are going?

See, you tore a- hole in my pretty

green dress.” "



“You won’t scold me,” said Mr. June

Bug, “I’ll eat you for my supper.”

Then he ate a .big hole in the Leaf be-





fore he flew off on his blundering,





flight again.

The Prohibition Question..,.





C/mrtine Zea/z Come: Back





 





HAVEN’T been at home for some

time and so I didn’t get the Mich-

igan Farmer, and I tell you I missed

it most as much as my family. I want

to thank you M. C.’s for having an

interest in my article on prohibition.

Indeed! “myself and many folks

like me.” What a. pang. Ah, what a

hurt to my heart, really it must have

change your mind. I wrote that piece

because Unk said it would be hard.

Now I am about to write an article on

the other side of prohibition, or on

the affirmative. I intend to be able

to write as well on both sides of any

question that arises.



When I was but six years old my

mother put into my hands a very

pretty little'book filled with pictures.

How proud I felt that I could have a

book to read like my own daddy and

mother. I was turning the pages, un-

conscious of the contents, just proudly

thinking how very big I was at last,

when a brightly colored picture

caught, my eye. I will describe the

picture for you, and you will. know

the story also, and its connection with

my article.



Noe had three sons—Cham, Sem

and Japhet. With them he tilled the

soil and planted his grape vines. When

the time came for wine to be ripe he,

not knowing the strength .of wine,

drank too freely and became drunk.

Paralyzed, he lay in his tent. Cham,

finding him in this condition, laughed

outright, and told his brothers of what

he had seen, in a jesting manner. But

Sem and Japhet, filled with reverence

for their aged father, threw a cloak

over their shoulders and, turning their

eyes away, Walked backward and cov-

ered him. When Noe awoke and

heard what had happened, he cursed

Cham and blessed Sem and Japhet.‘



That was the picture I saw, and see

to this day. I shan’t ever forget how

a. look of horror was printed on the

faces of Sem and Japhet, shame on

that of fool Cham, of agony on'that

of their father.

The British dearly loved the ladies

and their brandy. On December 26,

1776, Washington marched nine miles

in a. blinding snowstorm and finding





the Hessians at Trenton enjoying a ’





Christmas party, easily captured and

made them prisoners mostly because

of their weakness from drink. In

many instances, drink did net encour-

age; awaken, and strengthen the solo

diers because: they, too, like others,

fell for" the bottle to the last drop,

and lost!





It is usually drinks of such alco-

holics as whisky, gin, brandy, etc.

that make men mad; make them leave

their wives and children; and ruin

their homes. ’Tis often drink that

drags a man from perfect health and

fame to utter degredation and old age.

At one time, I read the following in

a‘ paper or magazine: “What Will

His Future Be?” Beneath were two

rows' of pictures consisting of four

On the-left side beneath the

first picture was written, "‘at sixteen,

truancy and cigarettes;” picture two,

“at twenty-one, impurity and drunk-

picture three, at thirty, vice

and crime;” picture four, “at forty-

five, jailbird and degenerate” Always,

drinking plays a prominent part in a

degenerate’s career.





Here we have the right side.

ous;” picture two, “at twenty-one, pur-

ity and industry;” picture three, “at

thirty, manliness and success;” pic-

ture four, “at seventy, honor and re-

was the wide and narrow way.

it is about time someone cared for"





them and gave them to eat and to





drink, as a babe who has no mind as





yet to decide how much,- when, and

be enforced, but I do wish humanity

7: Our" Letter Box,





Dear Uncle Frank:

This is rather late in the season to





 





thank you for the lovely box of sta- ,





tionery. It surely came in handy. .

\ I was in Detroit all last week and

I didn’t even go. to see you. Wasn’t

' it awful? Listen, Circlers, if you were

to pick out ten people who ,did .the

most ‘for the advancement of the

world, who would they be?



Didn’t you like John O. Robert’s let-

ter? I did. Evidently he believes as

I' do. I don’t agree with Anthony

Juergens about the ribbons. Lots of

people notice them. Everyone says,

“Let’s see your pin.” Don’t you think

I’m‘ right, Uncle Frank?——-Dagmar

Thomsen. _



Am glad you like the stationery.

Shame on you for not coming and say-

ing “Hello” to me. You have suggest-

ed a fine subject. Let’s have some

opinions on it.~ I am inclined to agree

with you about pins, etc.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



I surely agree with “Music Lover”

about music. There isn’t another

thing, I don’t think, that I like better

than music, especially on a violin,_and

a Hawaiian guitar. It is my ambition

to play one of these instruments when

I am older. “Beautiful Isle of Some-

where” is certainly a pretty piece, as

Music Lover said. Those who have

radios should tune in on WHT on

Sunday afternoon between 1:00 and

2:30 o’clock, for I am almost sure they

will play it. Also, on VVLS on Satur-

day nights at half past eight. The

radio s'ure is a wonderful thing. It

seems so lonesome when we don’t

tune ours in. .



My sister won the trip to Chicago

from our county. She said she sure

had a wonderful trip..- I’ll tell you,

,boys and girls, if you aren’t in a club

of some kind, join this summer and

you’ll sure benefit by it.



Here’s wishing success to all that

join. I will close. An M. 0., Helen

Duffin. ,



Music is all that has been said about

it. The radio is a fine means of edu-

cation and entertainment. It is fine

that your sister has been successful





in club work.





 





Dear Uncle Frank: ~



I think everybody should at least

get a high school education, even if

they do not get a chance to go to col-

lege. I expect to have a high school

education before I quit going to school,

and- I think-everyone should.



I have .made three fast friends

through the letter scramble. One of

.my correspondents stopped writing to

me, or I would have had four cpr—

respondents. One of my correspond-

ents is taking a business course at

Lansing, which shows that she ex-

pects to have a good education.



I am a farmer’s daughter and I have

always declared that I would never

live in the city, and I don’t think I

ever will, either. Some people might

not agree with me, but the farm is the

best place to live. I am boarding in

town at present and going to school

because my school was discontinued.

I have a real good place to board, but

even at that, I miss the freedom of

the good old home on the farm—Ma.-

.tilda Hunter. .





I can see that it won’t pay anyone

to talk city to you. I hope you will

always enjoy rurallife as you do now.

ADD-A-LETTER CONTEST.





 





SO many seemed to misunderstand

our add-.a—letter contest that I be-

lieve it will be good to have another

right away. The thought in this con-

test is to start with one letter, such

as A, and add a letter each time, but

just use the letters you have already

used, plus the new one added. For

example: a, an, ant, ain’t, saint, taints,

attains, etc. Perhaps a dozen Words,

or less, would be about all one can

make.



This time we will use the letter I.



The girl who makes the greatest

number of words according to the

above directions, will be given a box

of nice stationery; the next, beads, and

the next three; unique pencils. The

boy sending the best list will get an

indoor baseball; the next, handy

clutch pencil; and the next three,

watch-chain knives. All who send in

good lists will be sent M. C. buttons

and cards iflhey are not now mem-

bers.



Please don’t forget to put your name

and address in the upper left-hand cor-

ner of your paper, and M. C. after

your name if you are a Merry Circler.

The contest closes June 10. Send your

papers to Uncle Frank, Michigan Farm-

er, Detroit, Michigan.

LOW-9917.5-





We’ have .never. kept records on





which to make any actual compari-





son, _but have been convinced, from

having used green feed in one form

or other for the pastlfew years, that.‘

such is the truth. Those intending to

supply this form 1 of feed for :their

hogs might _be interested in the dif-

ferent plans which we have used to





 





 





To get some idea as to the effect of

sex on feeding cattle,~ a lot of heifer

calves were fed the same as the steer

calves. '



Beginning with the two-year-ol'ds

and going down in the ages, the aver—

age daily gain decreased, being the

highest in the older stuff. In the

same manner the cost of 100 pounds

of gain was highest in the case of the

older stuff, and decreased materially

as age was decreased. The largest

margin was returned on the yearlings,

due to their superior finish, whereas,

the narrowest margin was secured on

the steer calves, due to the fact that

they made their gains by growing

frames and not by putting on 3. mar-

ket finish.



Due to some physiological reason,

the heifer calves fed the same as the

steer calves in this experiment gave

a. perfect check to the results secured

in several Nebraska trials, and put on

fat, while the steers increased the’ size

of their frames. The heifers were in

good market condition, while the steers

showed hardly no degree of finish.

Consequently, as a result of this high-

er degree of condition, the margin

over feed costs was larger in the case

of the heifers than it was in the case

of the steers.





 





SUPPLYING THE HOGS WITH

GREEN FEED.





XPERIME’NTS conducted by agri-

cultural colleges have conclusive-

ly proven that hogs having access to

green pasture, or fed a daily ration of

green feed in addition to their regular





milk and grain ration, return a much

keep a. supply of green feed on hand

during the summer months.



Having noticed that hogs seemed to

relish green cornstalks, we decided

One spring to plant a small lot to corn

and see what it would do for the hogs.

The rows were planted twenty-eight

inches apart. We cut every other row

for the hogs, and allowed the remain'

ing rows to develop into com. This

furnished the hogs with feed from the

middle of July until late in the fall,

but as it did not furnish us with a.

very early feed, we kept watch for

something that looked better to us.





Some of my neighbors had tried a

mixture of oats and peas, and spoke

well of it, so I used the combination

one year. This furnished the feed

much earlier in‘ the spring, but as I

knew it would not last throughout the

summer, seeded it to clover. This was

quite satisfactory, but having heard

about rape, thought that it possibly

provided something even better. Rape

may be sown as early in the spring

as the ground is fit to work, and is

ready to be pastured by the first of

June and will last the season through.

If' it is inconvenient to pasture, it may

be mowed as needed, and if not out

too close to the ground, will put forth

new leaves and be ready to be mowed

the second time in a few weeks.



After having used rape a. couple ‘of





seasons, we decided ’to try a. mixture,





so sowed the rape thinner and seeded

it to June and alfalfa seed. This af-

forded a. variety for the hogs, and an

early pasture the next spring, without

the necessity of plowing.



We consider the use of the alfalfa

will sell at' any time in the season. and we predict

that feeders will sell at from ($14. 00) to ($15. 00)

cwt. in August. September. and Ottober. because of

'great losses in the feeder lamb producing states of

Wyom-ng. Oregon. and Montana

feeder lambs were under contracts to Colorado. and

Nebraska feeders. and we are advised that these

losses in these states Were 40%. which means that

these 0010111110.. and Nebraska. feeders will be short

40% on their contracts at time of delivery. and they

will then have to go into the open market in order

to fill their requirements. which will help force the

market on feeders upwards in October. The lambs

out of Idaho. and Washington will be 85% fat.

.which means that there will be few feeders through

the summer months. and that they will sell from

($14. 00) to ($15. 00) cwt. all summer and fall. The

reason these Califmnia lambs are selling so reason-

able is because it is earl). and there is no demand

for them. Take advantage of this opportunity, and

buy now. running thcm 011 grass through the sum-

er feeds, and the only time that we





alfalfa cannot be handily pastured, it

may be mowed and fed to the hogs

twice a day. As it will start growing

again at ’once, it can be cut in this

way several times during the summer

season. After having followed the

plan of keeping the alfalfa on hand

for the hogs for several years, we

have concluded that it is the only

best plan, as it will last for several

years and is equal, or better, than the

other feeds for growing purposes.—

BEANS FOR DAIRY COWS.





 





OVVS can be educated to eat boil-



ed beans. At first they may ab-

solutely refuse them, but by coaxing,

mixing them with dry meal and bran

they finally find out that beans are

good. Then they eat them with rel-

ish. However, there is the expense of

‘cooking, and besides, cooked beans

foul the manger and it is diflicult to

handle and store them until used.

A better way is to grind them and

feed them raw, mixed with other

grain. Here, again, the cow must be

educated to eat raw beans. They don’t

like them‘ and at first refuse to eat

them. If fed a clear ration of beans

it is doubtful if they ever would eat

enough to produce a full flow of milk.

But beans fed in anywhere near a full

grain ration will produce a very hard,

tallowy butter that is not at all desir-

able. It is not advisable to feed them

alone on that account. Not over one-

third of the grain ration should con-

sist of bean mead—C.





FIVE FIGURE MILK AVERAGE.





HE fourth year of testing work

has been closed in the Livingston

Cow Testing Association, according to

Charles Metz, cow tester. The aver-

age production of the cows in this

association is 10,213 pounds of milk

and 369.9 pounds of butter-fat. More

than half the members have alfalfa

seeded on their farms. There are 264

acres seeded to this crop, and sixty-

seven acres of sweet clover.



The Village Farm herd of M. J. Mc-

Pherson has averaged more than 300

pounds of butter-fat for four years.

During the last two years the Michi-

gan State Sanitorium has averaged

above this production figure and for

the present year the members having

herds which averaged this amount

are as follows: Armstrong Brbs., A.





L. Woolly, R. W. Darlington, L. D.

Coffy, Hays & Worthington, J. R.

Crouse, Walter Warden, and E. H.

Bilby.





ALPENA COWS FINISH THREE

YEARS’ TESTING.





, HE Alpena-Leer Testing Associa-

tion has successfully concluded

three years of record-keeping. Lester

Kent, the cow tester, shows that six

of the nine herds which made the 300

pound butter—fat average during the

testing year have been under test for

these three years.

The herd of A. Shuell has averaged

above 300 pounds of butter-fat for

three years, and the herds of M. Bar~

sen, W. Christopherson, George Hines,

T. Hansen, and Ox Bow Farms, have

averaged above this amount for two

years. The 300-pound producing herds

for the past year were owned by Geo.

Manning J. Bowden, and G. Weinert.

WHEAT.



Reports of drouth damage in the

southwest and delayed seeding in Can-

ada as a result of wet weather forced

wheat prices sharply higher in the past

week. Speculative buying was a prom-

inent factor in the advance, but cash

market conditions also were favor-

able. While the advance has been rap-

id, there is nothing as yet- to indicate

that the bull movement is over. The





status of the new crop is hard to de--





termine. Estimates of the extent of

damage in Kansas and Oklahoma, and

of the progress of seeding in Canada

are widely divergent. The loss in the

winter wheat prospect may be as

much as 25,000,000 bushels, but the

combined winter and spring wheat

crop will probably

bushels if normal weather conditions

prevail hereafter. This would com-

pare with 832,000,000 bushels harvest-

ed last year. The Canadian situation

is more serious. Reliable reports in-

dicate that only about 80 per cent of

the seeding was finished by May 20. Be—

sides ,the change in new crop pros-

pects in the past six weeks, rapid

clean-up of world’s supplies of wheat





continues.

RYE.





While reports of sales of rye for

export have not been numerous re-

cently, substantial shipments have

been made from stocks held in this

country, so that the visible supply has

shown a furthersharp decline. Re~

_ maining stocks are only about a. third

as large as they were in late winter.

There can be little doubt that supplies

> of this grain will be closely cleaned

up before the new crop starts to mar-

ket. Prices advanced even more sharp~

‘ ly than wheat in the past week, reach-



‘ ing the highest level in two years.





CORN.





Corn prices advanced into new high

“ ground for the season during the past





‘ .xweek. Further rains over the corn





’. 4 belt, with planting operations consid-

stably later than normal, excited ad-

?f’i ditional speculative buying. The sea-

son now bears much resemblance to

.1924, when an unusually small crop

or two of good weather probably

would initiate the usual after-planting

movement. The decreases in the vis-

ible supply haVe not been as large as

they were a month ago, but they are

large enough to suggest some degree

of commercial scarcity before summer

is over. Because of small farm re-

serves, the movement t-o primary mar-

kets is likely to be comparatively small





right along.

OATS.





Oats‘prices have not experienced

such a sharp advance as other grains,

although the. situation has many points

of strength. Primary receipts contin-

ue small, as they have been through-

out the croplyear. The visible supply

has decreased each week since Janu-

ary, and is now only 23,000,000 bush-

els, compared with 39,000,000 bushels

a year ago. The new crop acreage

probably was reduced as a result of

unfavorable weather at planting time,

and the progress of the crop has been

unsatisfactory in many sections.

Stocks of Cats remaining on farms are

estimated to be about 40‘ per cent less

than last year.‘ In the principal oats

surplus states, the decrease in farm

holdings compared with last year is

over 50 per cent.



EDS.



Only a little scattered business was

reported in clover and alfalfa seeds

last week. The season is about over

and prices are held with little change.

Wet weather still makes it impossible

for farmers to get planting done in

many sections. Demand for forage

seeds from the flood section continues

and planting has started in Arkansas

and Missouri where the’water has re





'ceded.





FEEDS.



Strength in feed grains has buoyed

the feed market, particularly on corn

and heavy wheat feeds. Orders are

confined to small lots for immediate

shipment, as dealers are only “piecing

out” requirements until pastures are

more generally available. The late

season in the northeast has made ad-

ditional feeding necessary.





Harvesting of the first crop of al-

falfa hay has been "extended as far

north as Kansas, and will be under

way generally by the first week in

June.

to excellent, and of good quality. Pric-

es are working down to a new crap





basis. Receipts of hay generally are

light, so that prices are steady in

spite of a limited demand. Rainy





'weather is. interfering with loadings

in some sections.





EGGS.





. The egg market has sagged off to

the lowest level reached at this time

of year since. pre—war days. Values

in the large wholesale markets are

nearly a dime cheaper than at this

time last year. Receipts continue to

run ahead of a year ago, although the

percentage of gain is narrowing. Dis-

tribution into consumptive channels is

at a. somewhat faster rate than last

season, but it is not sufficient to take

care of more than a small part of the

surplus in supplies. The “surplus” in

storage stocks is constantly being in-

creased, a factor which apparently is

viewed with alarm by dealers who

point out that the increasing compe-

tition from fresh eggs during the time

when stocks accumulated in the spring

must be distributed. So long as fresh

eggs continue to roll in in larger quan-

tities than can be moved into con-

sumptive channels, values will not

show much improvement. Prices at

present levels discount the greater

part of the heavy sup-ply situation,

however, and are not likely to go

much, if any, lower.

BUTTER.





The butter market has steadied and ' ‘





prices are about unchanged from "a

week ago. Production is increasing

rapidly, with receipts at the leading

markets more than 20'per cent larger

than last season. Retail prices hays

been reduced and consumption has

shown marked improvement. Distri-

bution into consumptive channels from

the four leading markets since May

1 has exceeded the corresponding pe-

riod a year ago by. 5,000,000 pounds.

Dealers are storing some butter so

that shortage in stocks as'compared

With a year ago has been reduced.



Good summer pastures seem assur-

ed as a result of the wet spring, which

usually means a big milk production.

Ice cream, fluid milk consumption and

condensed milk will take a large share

of the total production, however, and

nogreat increase in the amount di-

rected to butter ~factories is expected.



Prices on 92-s00re creamery were:

Chicago 411/40; New York— »431/éc; ‘De-

tr01t, in tubs, 38%@40c pound.





CHEESE.





Grass cheese is more plentiful and





prices have held steady as a result of "-





the improved quality. Trade is rather

quiet, With orders chiefly in small lots

for immediate needs. The main de-

mand is for held cheese. . '





POTATOES.



The potato market has continued its

upward trend on both old and new

stock despite fairly heavy receipts of

the latter. Shipments of old potatoes

from Minnesota and Wisconsin and

from the west are tapering off. Farm

stocks are not large, and many pro-

ducers are not shipping until they

have determined what their seed re-

quirements will be. New high prices

for old potatoes before the season fin-

ally draws to a close are not unex-

pected. Northern round whites, U. S.

No. 1, are quoted at $3.20@3.35 per.

100 pounds, sacked, in the Chicago

carlot market. Alabama Bliss Tri-

umphs, U. S. No. 1, bring $4.75@4.85

per 100 pound-s in the same market.





A sharp advance in prices paid for

Texas wools was a feature of the past

ten days. Early in the year, twelve

months’ clip were contracted for on

the sheep’s back at 35 to-3717é cents,

compared with 37 to 41%. cents paid

at'the recent San Angelo sale. These

prices are on about the same level as

last year, whereas prices in other sec-

tions heretofore have been about ten

per cent lower than last year. While

manufacturers are showing strong re-

s1s_tance to any upward tendency in

wool prices, the statistical situation

has strengthened in the last five

months as a result of small imports

and the increase in. mill consumption.

Besides the strength in the southwest,

demand for foreign wools in bond for

export account has broadened again,

reflecting the stronger tone abroad.

Dealers have not been able to obtain

much wool at the prices offered in the

bright wool states. In view of all the

conditions, a moderate upturn in wool

prices appears probable until the com-

petition from the next southern hem-

isphere clip starts next fall.

centage in the milk of a.cow is higher





pear to be making cattlemen more , '





anxious to empty their feed lots. As

a result, receipts have increased mod-

erately compared with March and Ap-

ril. The advance in prices which start-

ed early last winter shows some signs

of having run its course for the time





bein



e- arrivals have increased re-

cently, they continue to run materially

behind last year. In the last three

weeks, 504,000 head reached the seven

principal markets, compared With 549, -

000 in the same period a year previ-

ous. In the first four months of 1927,

2,990,000 head were slaughtered under

federal inspection, against 3, 065,000

head in 1926. This decline in num-

bers has been augmented to some ex-

tent by lighter weights than last year.

In the last three weeks, for example,

the steers sold out of first hands for

slaughter at Chicago averaged 991

pounds, against 1,061 pounds a year

ago.



It is possible that the decrease in

the supply of beef has been largely

discounted by the present price level,

with steers $1. 60 higher than a year

ago, and heifers, cows and bulls show-

ing smaller advances. The lower

grades, at least, are not likely to

make much further progress, .and are

apt to seek a 10wer basis. There is

not much danger of any excess of fin-

ished cattle, so that good and choice

grades may remain on a lofty pedes-

tal all summer, with 'some shrinkage

in the premium for heavy steers over

yearlings. Prime mature steers still

command around $1.3 85, With best long

yearlings at $12. 25. Veal calves ad-

vanced in the past week, and probably

have started on their usual summer

advance.





VHOGS REACH NEW LOW POINT.





0G prices broke again in the past



week, the Chicago average going



to $9. This is the lowest since

December, 1924, when hogs were in

the early stages of the, upswing of the

last cycle. The decline appears-ex-

treme when compared with the in-

crease in the supply of hogs, but the

indications at various stages of the

decline that prices had reached a level

Where they might stabilize for a; while

have been misleading. Loss of de-

mand, as well as the gain in supply,

has contributed to the weakness.



In the first four months of 192”,

15,075,000 head of hogs were slaughter-

ed under federal inspection, against

14,519,000 in the same .period of last

year, an increase of f-our,per cent.

The increase in supplies in May has

been greater than in the preceding

months. Lighter average weights

have offset some of the gain in num-

bers. But, the decline in exports of

hog meats in the first four months

was equal to the product of about 500,-

000 head of hogs, and lard exports de-

clined by the equivalent of the yield

of a million head. Domestic demand

failed to expand enough to take up

the increased supply, hence the rapid

accumulation in storage.





Recently”, prices of hog products





have not'shown as much weakness as





hog prices, so that manufacturing mar-

gins of packers have widened. -

bringing $16. 75, compared with $18 or

better about two weeks ago. Total

receipts of sheep and lambs at seven

principal markets in the week endmg

May 21 were 204,000 head, the largest

since early in March, and the biggest

run at this season in a dozen years

at least. Prices of both sheep and

lambs are likely to continue a down-

ward trend until early fall.





COUNTY CROP REPORTS.





Midland County.——On account of wet

weather, farming is somewhat back-

ward in this locality. Winter grains,





, meadows, pastures, also fruit, are nor-





mal. Live stock is lacking fairly good;

the dairy and poultry business is slow-

ly expanding. There is not much mar-

keting being done at present. Veal

calves, cream and eggs bring normal

prices. —M. S. B.



M _ to County.——Cold rains have

dela farm work. Some oats and“!!!

peas were seeded. Everybody has to

buy seed. mu. Potatoes are going up

CONDUCTED BY DR. S. BURROWS





 





< Fails to Breed—Three cows fail to

come in heat. Have had individuals

do this before, but not so many. Is it





contagious? E. O.——Failure to come in





heat is usually due to corpus luteum

(yellow bodies) in the ovaries. It is

necessary to have these removed in

some cases, before the animal can

come in heat. It would be advisable

to have the cows examined by yo





local veterinarian and let him treat'





What he finds to be the cause of the

trouble.



Itching Skin. —-Mare has had itch for

long time. See no lice. Hair comes

out in bunches, matted together. H.

K.——-Now the winter is over, it would

be advisable to clip the mare, then

wash her with a creolin solution or

tobacco water. Give tablespoonful of

granular hyposulphite of soda in feed,

twice daily; also one tablespoonful of

Fowler’s solution, twice daily in feed

or water.





Teats Grow Together.—I have a. very

valuable heifer calf about two months

old“ ,Two of her teats on one side are

grown together, as one flat teat. This

union continues ‘to within about one

half inch of their ends, where they

divide, slightly, into two separate

teats. Can these teats be divided at

this time, Cut apart, and so make two;

separate teats of them? If so, how

shall we go about it—‘eand how to keep

them apart'while they are healing. D.

P. R.-—It would be better to get the

advice of your local veterinarian, who

would be in a better position to advise

you, after seeing the udder and teats.

It might be better to leave them as

they are. They could possibly be milk-

ed better, united as they are, than

have two separate teats so close to-

gether.



Abscess in Teat.——l have a cow with

a hard bunch on one teat. It broke

open several times and pus came out.

She gives milk in the teat How should

I treat it? What is the best way to

remove warts from cow’s teats if the

warts are very numerous? What can





 





1191111131 1111 11m .

. t true that the butter-flit pen:

when she is fat than when she is thin?





M13. S. V.——-The bunch on teat should ,





be opened if it contains pus, and swab-

bed out daily with. tincture of iodine.

Warts can be cut off with scissors and

the wound painted with iodine. They

may also be removed by moistening

them with acetic acid once daily. Com-

ing in heat is sometimes retarded, or

even prevented, by, the presence of

corpus luteum (yellow bodies), in the

ovai'ies. It would be advisable to have

the cow examined by your local veter-

inarian and let him give such treat

ment that he finds necessary. A cow

that is very fat will usually give a

little more butter-fat than when she is

thin in flesh.

it consists entirely of Maytag Aluminum Washers equipped with gasoline

power, whereas many farms have electricity and buy the Electric Maytag. .





   

   





 

 

 

 

 

 





   

   

   

   

   





The Maytag gasoline Multi-Motor with a record

of 10 years’ successful performance, is just as simple,

compact and dependable as an electric motor. It is

in-built, a part- of the washer—no belts to line up,

and has a simple foot- starter that a woman can

operate. There is sufficient power to run both the

washer and wringer at the same time.





 

 





 





 

   

   

 





 

 





   





The Maytag is the only washer with a seamless,

cast-aluminum tub. It holds four gallons more than

ordinary washers—does an average washing in an

hour. Washes everything beautifully clean without

hand-rubbing—even collars, cuffs, wristbands and





grimy overalls.
