OOPERATIVE farm insurance has been very successful. It began many years ago with the organization of the county Patrons’ Fire Insurance Associations. An investigation recent- ly completed by the bureau of agricul~ tural economics shows that one-half of the farm prOperty in the United States is protected by insurance 'pol- icies carried with farmers’ cooperative ‘ mutual insurance associations. Risks carried by these farmers’ cooperatives total about $10,000,000,000. ”Wind- storm, hail, live stock and automobile mutual insurance companies operated by farmers, are doing a large busi- ness, especially in the middle west. Forty Windstorm insurance companies carry risks aggregating $2,000,000.000. A POOR WAY To BUILD FOREIGN TRADE T seems almost: incredible that an apple exporter would ship any but the highest quality fruit, closely sort- ‘ed and carefully graded, to Europe. Nevertheless, Edwin Smith, fruit spe- cialist for the Department of Agricul- ture in Europe, says that sixty to sev- enty per cent of the apples experted in 192627 were not graded, and some shippers of ungraded apples packed interior apples in the center of the barrel. This has hurt' the sale of good apples and been the means of losses to the shippers. as high quality apples are, the past shipping season, there is no reason why anyone should ship culls to Eu- rOpe. ’ , ' ‘R/EAPPOINTS FARMER REPRE- SENTATIVE 0N SHIPPING ' ' BOARD.

Braun INGING farmers are not cuslsing - farmers, and this is one of the reasons why we are teaching our future farmers, or the boys from the farm, to sing. We are doing a. very “ ' fine job of it, too, judging from the 'manner in- which theHastings High School Agricultural Singing Team sang their way to first place in the re—_ cent State Singing Contest at Michi- gan State College during Junior Farm- ers’ Week, May 5-6. These happy young agricultural stu- «dents we could depend upon to carry on the business of farming in most anything 'else which they at- tempted to do. From the smiles on their faces, I am sure we could vouCh that they would be singing farmers instead of cussing farmers. VDobbin kicked at one of these lads while he was being harnessed some morning, or if brindle stepped into the milk pail while one of them was milk- ing after supper, I am sure we would not hear the usual “French” which generally accompanies such an inci- dent, but would be entertained by some old familiar song like, “The old gray mare, she ain’t what she used to be; ” or, “The cow jumped over the mountain. ” Anyway, we believe that they will make better farmers, due to the fact ‘ that they are champion singers. That same “something,” whatever it is, which made them champions“ as sing- ers,f and won for 'them the beautiful. R. E. Olds Trophy Cup in the fore- ground will go a long way toward making them champions as farmers. From the results that these same boys are showing in agricultural activities other than singing, will prove this conclusion. Their agricultural in- structor, Charles B. Park, sitting at the left of the cup, with the aid of these lads, produced more certified and registered grains and seeds in summer project ‘work than any other school in the state of Michigan. Mr. The Latest In eTractor Pl “MANLESS” tractor, controlled by an electric device, plowed a field successfully recently, before a crowd of farmers, professors of agri- ‘-‘culture and business men. Iinguided by a human hand, except . gwhen the first furrow was plowed to * make a guide row, the machine, equip- :‘ ped with an automatic guide invented ’ by F. L. Zibach, of Grand Island, Neb., plowed a twenty-acre “field on the Col- lege of Agriculture farm of the Uni- “ versity of Nebraska. . g The tractor runs in an irregular cir- cle, rounding the corners.

Park’s agricultural students, besides placing first in the singing contest placed second in grain judging and second in potato judginggin competi- tion with sixty-seven other schools from over Michigan in the same con- tests. Mr. Park is a very modest young man, 'and says very little con- cerning his successful agricultural 1- work in Hastings High School. He in- formed me- that he was in no way responsible for the Success of the singing team, and that the credit and honor is due their director, Miss Mar- garet Calvert, the good-looking young lady sitting at the right of the cup T.“ the team from Owosso fourth, which goes to prove that people from all over the state are participating in the art of singing. This educational musical wave which seems to be flowing over Mich- igan, and gaining a foothold in our public schools, and in our farm homes, is a ‘very important one, and will have its effect upon a better future agri- culture. The farmers of tomorrow, who are the boys of today, must be well—train- ed, well-balanced men. Improved ma- chinery, scientific methods, and better culture will give them more time for The Hastings High School Singing Team. in the picture. No doubt Miss Calvert is a very capable director, as she also won second place in a similar contest directing the Barry County Normal Chorus. However, I am/ inclined to think that some of Mr.” Park’s pleas- sing personality which he has instilled into these young men, also aided them to win first honors. The singing team from Goldwater won second 'place, the team from Eaton Rapids third, and recreation and pleasure. Music or singing is one of the most wholesome, uplifting, and soul satisfying forms of recreation and entertainment that can be advocated and carried out on the farm. If agriculture is to survive, and if our boys are to be kept on the farm, then farm life must be made attractive and satisfying. The agri- culture of the future must not dwell somuch on how to make a. living—— "needs no attention?” The electric con- . i 0th I; -ti‘oi- ' but must dwell more on how to live. - There is something about good sing- ing and good music which brings out the finer qualities of men, and the higher ideals of life. It is inspiring}: self-satisfying, and uplifting in every Way. Its introduction and cultivation in the farm life is a step forward in agriculture. Some of our agricultural leaders and big business men have noted these facts and have given their time and money to promote singing in the rural districts. Two years ago, E. E. Gal- lup, state supervisor of agricultural education, with the financial aid of R. E. Olds, conducted the first sing- ing contest at Junior Farmers’ Week at Michigan State College. All Agri- cultural Smith Hughes High Schools in‘the state ‘Were eligible, and were invited to participate. Each year the contest has been bigger, and Profes- sor Taylor, head of the Music Depart- ment of Michigan State College, states that the music has been of a higher quality each year. In fact, the results have been so satisfactory that R. E. Olds has notified President Butterfield of Michigan State College, that he will give the college $1,500 a. year to pro- mote community singing in rural dis- tricts. A representativefrom the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, who was pres— ent when the boys from Hastings sang at the banquet at Junior Farmers' Week before Governor Green and an audience of 1,600 rural boys and girls,“ declared that such a contest would be started another year in the state of Wisconsin. Our agricultural leaders seem to entertain the same opinion that, as our young folks are being taught more scientific agriculture in our Smith Hughes Agricultural High Schools, they should also be taught some of the higher and finer arts of life, such as music or singing. In this manner the farmer of tomorrow 'will not only be a better, more efiicient farmer, but he will also be a. happier and more satisfied farmer, and I hope that there will be no more cussing farmers, but that all will be singing farmers. owing chine with gasoline, and after the first furrow, turned it loose. Another improvement in tractor plowing is an arrangement which makes the draft of the plow such that it will stay in theground in any kind .of plowing. Plowing up steep grades is made possible by this arrangement. FARM EDUCATION PAYS. DUCATION pays the farmer divi- dends in dollars and cents.

According to the reported state- ment, the only worth-while thing being done by these agricultural institutions is extension work. “’19 would not criticize the good president of a great university. We ' assume, however, that his judgments in the realm of agriculture are estab- lished by the yardstick he uses in measuring the work of our higher in- stitutions in the field of law and mod- icine. And if so, we wonder where, in the agricultural world, the presi‘ dent has been making his observa- tions. Not In Michigan T may have been a wise provision to extend to our chief executive of the state, authority to trim ap- - propriations allowed by the state legislature. In such a lovemaking body where .members are elected by districts, provincialism is certain to prevail; and in the matter of appropriations, the job of accom- modating the expenditure of state funds to both general and local needs can be done, perhaps with less preju~ , dice by one who is responsible to the ~ whole state. However, the total appropriations al- - lowed by the last legislature were ab- , said. If spread upon the tax rollstas Passing the B uck they came from that body, they would have created a. political crisis in the- ' Mate. But. these amounts would never hove been allowed had there been no minority- lodged in the executive dew Wt to trim each item. All every - alibi for the governor. , wislr to 'say that it is not our intention to furnish an ‘ the voters of the state would \have more respect for both branches of the legislature had they been more conscientious in their ~I duty regarding appropriation bills. E weretold the other day that am C Michigan farmers Borer . Control A the corn borer control w o r k ~ much better than other farmers. Undoubtedly, the personal and printed descriptions of; the work of ruination in Canada. and other places has made them realize that the borer is a. formidable foe, and that no half way measures will be ef- fective in its control. The control yvork is not a'hopeles‘s task. New England, successful in us- ing drastic measures in control of gypsy and brown tail moths, repOrts that corn borer infestation has been reduced ninety-two per cent since 1922. An examination last year in the sweet corn fields showed that only six per cent of the ears, and fourteen per cent of the stalks were infested. Some may find the clean-up task an arduous one, but to lay (icon on the job and take the consequences will be much more arduous. It is a fight in which, we are glad to know, Michigan farmers are showing themselves good fighters as well as. good farmers. HE cutting of the appropriations al- lowed by the last leg- islature for work at the Michigan State College. and thereby eliminating the possibility of adding needed equipment for research and further study.of the poultry business, brings to our attention the import- ance of this branch of farming- The fact that poultry is seemingly but a small department of the average farm, leads us to underestimate its importance. But it is a department that should command attention. The total value of poultry products in the country exceeds all the fruit and fruit products produced by approximately $400,000,000. They, too, exceed the value of cattle raised by more than $150,000,000; and the value of a crop of Wheat by nearly $300,000,000. Only five other agricultural commodities exceed in value the products of the poultry yard. These are corn, cotton, hay and forage, and swine. Vi’hile this business is scattered over the country, more than one-half of our poultry is kept in the North Central group of states, of which Mich- igan is one. In these states practical- ly every farm has a flock of chickens. These flocks range in size from fifty to two or three hundred birds. The farm poultry, population will un- doubtedly grow. ,It has been the his- tory‘of other countries that the num- ber of birds increases as the country becomes older. \Vo may expect that A Major Farming Activity in America, especially since eggs have - gained a reputation as a health food. Further, the city poultry yards, so common in the past, are becoming ex- tinct—placing a larger responsibility upon the farm flock. ‘ For the reasons, therefore, that this branch of farming is very important, and is gradually taking a larger. place in the economy of our farms, and for the further and greater reason that the number of poultry problems, in- cluding disoasos,- feeding, housing, etc. ., are rapidly- multiplying and calling for scientific. accuracy in the care thereof, for these reasons we hold it to be most unfortunate that we shall need to wait pt least another two years ' tore adequate facilities can be pr 66 to carry on much needed raise work at Michigan State Eoiiege we simply , have taken a. hold of» college} I OOD‘ “housekeep- mg is being meas- m'ed by new stand- ards these days. . No longer is the house- wife who hangs “her washing on the line first on Monday morning, the envy of her housekeep- ing sisters. , Neither is the whitest kitchen floor, nor the largest family baking; the highest goal in the modem\ home. Cleanliness is, of course, necessary; scrubbing, washing, and baking have their place in every home, but they are not.important. Home-makers are employing'just as many aids as they can for this kind of work, and plan- ning so that they have more time for their families. One of the latest reports that con- firms our opinion of this change is that Seventy-four per cent of the wom- en taking part in our recent contest on methods of washing, have power washing machines. These women have learned that the hours spent over the old-fashioned washboard, robs them of time and energy that they need, for companionship in the home. The pow- er washer is only one of many labor- saving devices that are becoming in- creasingly popular in the modern home. ' Home-makers have recognized that to keep the members of the family happy and contented, and to give them inspiration and moral guidance, are the most important sides of home-mak- ing, and it is gratifying to note that women generally are striving 'for the practical labonsaving equipment that will release their time for this import- ant part of their job. Horne Vi] Stamford:J Change URAL mail carri- ers are assisting the department of ag~ rlculture in 'conduct- ing this year’s 'Spring pig crop survey. Offi- cials in the department of agriculture say that previous pig censuses con- ducted with the aesistance of rural carriers, have resulted in'more accur- ate figures for marketing forecasts than the'department has been able to obtain frOm other sources. The government is enabled, with the statistics in its possession, to ad- vise the farmer more accurately re- garding forthcoming market condi- tions at the time his pigs are due to mature. Such cooperative movements in ob— taining information cannot help but be of value, especially as one of the greatest hindrances of farming is the lack of accurate and unprejudiced knowledge of market conditions. In glving’the rural carrier every assist- ance in obtaining this information, the farmer will benefit himself more than anyone else. _ The Pig Survey HE other day, 'in discussing t h e subject of nutrition, reference was 'made to the prejudices, half- baked theories, and practices which provaib regarding this important subject" It is difficult for a human, even an expert, to ap- proach .a subject without some pre- conceived ideas regarding it.

These will be plant- ed at three different dates in June, and their behavior through the sum- mer closelonbserved. Naturally, the big corn that we have been growing has a more extensive root system than the shorter growing varieties. And in an effort to learn how close these corns should be plant- ed so as to utilize all of the root zone in the soil, hills will be spaced thirty- three by thirty-three inches, thirty- -six by thirty- six inches, and thirty—nine by thirty-nine inches, with three, four, and five kernels in the hill A The action of all fertilizer combina- tions is not definitely known. But it has been observed that some fertiliz- ers ripen the corn much soOner than ' others, or none. The aim is to ma- ture solid corn, if possible, after the borer moth lays her eggs. Whether this can best be done by applying all the fertilizer\at planting time, or whether some of- it should be left until later in the season, is a matter that will be illuminated conSiderably through these tests, since fourteen dif— ferent’ combinations and methods are being employed.

For about deserving of far more consideration than is usually accorded it. The idea ., which I wish to present has to do with those habits andattitudes which . determine whether your farm. is con- ~ stantly becoming more orderly and at- tractive, orsliding gradually,fl.b3ut nev- ertheless inevitably, in the other di- rection. . ‘ Recently it just so happened that I have observed several families move. In each instance I have been impress- ed with the fact that the operation has been rendered immeasurably more difficult by the accumulation of things , which had either lost their value alto- ' gether, or whose future usefulness was, to say the least, very improbable. How we do burden our lives and homes and premises with.junk! Fol- lowing what appears to be the line of least resistance, weelay something aside or throw it into a nearby, but totally inappropriate corner, and salve our conscience with the suggestion that it may prove useful sOmehow or other, some time. And in all proba- bility there it will remain for years, an eyesore and a nuisance. It may even be the direct or indirect cause of an accident. An Everlasting Battle. It is easy to quote rules about “hav- ing a place for everything and every- thing in its place,” but in the practi- cal management of a farm it is far from a simple and easy matter to keep things picked up and inorder. With long hours in the field, and a multitude of tedious chores, there is usually little time or energy for catch- ing up with the loose ends of the farming operations. Eternal vigilance is‘the price of or- der and neatness on the farm. These desired qualities come not so much from any special splurge, or any par- ticular day’s work, but are rather the result of our general attitude toward each task. and the little extra effort that! we put in to see that it is prop- erly cempleted and everything left as it should be. Three Important Helps. There are three things that I have found to be of especial assistance in , disposing of things which have passed their period of usefulness. Each of these three is already at hand on your farm, or could be provided with prac- tically no expense. The first is an almost universal rural institution in Michigan—the good old kitchen stove. Into it can go a host of things that are of no further value except for the heat which they may produce. Old bits of boards, rags, re- mains of sacks, and, a host of things too numerous to mention, can well be disposed of through the trusty kitchen range. The second aid to neatness is noth- ing more nor less than a barrel or box for old bottles, cans, broken glass, rusty wires, and all such refuse. This receptacle should be convenientlylo- cated, and yet obscured from general view. Its use makes it easy to re- move the junk from time to time with- out wasting any energy assembling the debris. The third thing that I have found helpful in keeping the'farm in reason- ably good order, is a well located pile, or container, for old, iron. When a for the trouble, to say nothing of the benefits of” having ’it out of the way and'out of sight. , . ,- ‘ Your Own “Clean-up" Campaign... _ Even though affarx'ner~ has an estab- gushes policy orpicking up motion, 11-. . a - .4 large enough amoupt has accumulated. this may be sold -for enough to pay ,glghtgibe well to, we .29,“ encumber»; .‘ l ' . .1 ,’ ‘>»l\. - ‘31!) .. .‘ r ' "for”‘gettgifingfirldl “of, a ‘rvast‘ - 61in ‘ f uselessand: aggravating .inpedim f’ " a. .

They should prove popular on the roadside stand as a refreshing iruit to eat out of hand. There are clingstone and freestone , varieties of nectarines, just >’ as there are of. peaches, while the flesh may be .red, ye116w, or white. The trees of the nectarine cannot be told from peach trees, except when the fruit is present Nectarines are peaches in eyery respect save for the fuzziness of the skin, it is said. Netitarines may spring from peach stones, and peaChes sometimes come from nectarine stones. ‘Peach trees now and then produce nectarines on ' a twig or branch, the rest of the tree bearing peaches, and nectarine trees likewise have been known to produce peaches. Once in a while a peach tree or a ,nectarine tree will bear an individual fruit that is part nectarine and part peach There are now more than thirty va- rieties of nectarines growing on the station grounds, the best of which is probably the new variety, Hunter. Stocks of this new sort may be ob- tained at cost from the New York Fruit Testing Association in Geneva. Certainly all who grow fruit for pleas- ure should try nectarines, while the fruit would undoubtedly sell well in local markets and on the roadside stand. CUTTING THISTLES AND MILK» WEED. What time should thistles and milk- weed ‘be cut?——Mrs. F. H. ' The best time to cut thistles is just before budding. Then, if the roots should, show any growth afterwards, they should be. cut down. No. green leaves should be allowed for more than a‘ few days. Milkweed should also be cut at this time, as it is a critical time in the de- velopment of plants. ~- “WALNUT CATERPILLARS. ALNUT trees frequently become , infested with hairy caterpillars during the summer. These are the larvae of the walnut'datana moth, and at times they congregate in masses on the trunk of the tree, 'or perhaps on one of the branches. They, are greedy eaters and can, in a short time, defoliate a'. large limb, or perhaps an entire? tree. ‘ When on the tree trunk, boiling water will account for many of them, or'a .torch will account for. many that are bunched ona limb or "branch. Spraying the foliage with an arsenical Will also help to prevent any further damage Tree tanglefoot, or sticky fly—paper will protect adjacent trees, although these barriers will need attention, as they often get so filled with these pests that the others can pass over them. -—Don B Whelan.

When the waterproofing is to be put on the outside, the dirt must be removed to the depth of the wall, the wall thoroughly cleaned, and given a coating of hot asphaltum. Or, in case of a comparatively» smooth con- crete wall, it could be cleaned and given a coat of cement_plaster. Your local mason should be able to do this work. Putting waterproofing on the inside is a difficult matter and very often cannot be accomplished by ordi- nary methods.

CELLAR FOR FRUIT STORAGE. 7 We have a new cellar unden our house with a dividing wall through 'the center. One-half of the cellar we intend to e for coal, and later on install a heating plant. In the other . half we will keep vegetables and can- ned Vfruit, also our crooks with meat. We intend to cement the coal cellar, but cannot decide if we should cement the vegetable cellar. My husband be- lieves that the vegetables and fruit will keep better in a cellar with a dirt floor, but on the other 'hand, I believe easier to keep clean. What should we do in this case? Also, what would be the best way to put in a tile drain out of this part of the cellar so that‘the drain would not get plugged up with %€7n(l1alili dirt from the cellar bottom? ' Keeping vegetables andggfruit satis- factorily in a basement is a matter of correct conditions of temperatureand humidity. . I believe that it is possible to haven-satisfactory basement with or. without a cement floor. It 1s_»usu‘ ally considered best to put in a ce- ment floor, as it is true, that it can be kept clean more easily. To prevent a tile drain from becom- ing stopped with sand or dirt, you. could either take precautions not to allow sand or dirt to get into the drain, or build a catch basin large enough so that the sand would settle. We are sending you a copy of our quarterly 'bulletin for August, 1922, which contains an article on the, ven- tilation of potato warehouse, also for August, 1923, in which copy you will find an article on air-cooled storage for Michigan apples. While these art« icles are written with the large ware- house in mind, the principle will equal— ly apply to the small basement stor- age. On page 29 the article of quar- terly, 1924, there is an article, “The Home Storage Room,” which may give you some idea on the arrangement of the fruit and vegetable cellar.~—-F. F.

Claimed a saving of a cent Or so a pound was not worth the griefof breaks and loose bundles that went with cheap twine. After we argued a while, he said‘ Plymouth’ twine was really more economical because it was longer per pound than my twine. Right then and there I callleid his bluff by measuring an 8vpound ball of eac Y I Plymouth ran 432 feet longer per ball “ Well, I was surprised! My twine averaged only 448 feet— altho it was tagged 500 ft. per pound. I-lis Plymouth gave 502 feet: to the pound. Ihad been paying for 432 ft. per ball that I didn’t get. And more tests gave the same results. “Thus, I learned Plymouth’s guaranteed length* means that I get my money’ 5 worth. I’d not only been throwing away money on short length twine, but I’d been putting up with needless trouble. No more breaks er loose bundles "There are no knots— no weak spots—no breaks, when I use Plymouth.

Look» for guaranteed length on tag. Plymouth binder twine is made by the makers of Plymouth rope. PLYMOUTH Plymouth—more economical: It’s longer—full length to the pound as guaranteed on the tag; It’s stronger-less breaking, less wasted time, less wasted grain; It’s evener—no thick or thin spots -no “grief”; It’s better wound—no tangling; It’s insect repelling—you can tell by its smell; 0 0 It’s mistake—proof— printed ball—— and instruction slip in every bale.

Some lime later, after the plants had begun to pick up, he would startrthe mower, going in a direction opposite to the way the pole dragged. » This allowed the knife'ofihe mower to pass ‘under the lodged stems and pick up every one of them.

Before that, to the story of the missing chest of gold brought to the House of the Lone Oak by old Captain Pettibone had been added disclosure of a secret tunnel leading from the basement. Therein closely. Was something being con- cealed from them? \ “No,” answered Agent Boggs slowly as he puffed at his pipe. “I knew nothing of such a room as you de- scribe. - The Captain always kept his papers in a desk in the room where he slept. But that he had money I know, perhaps more than the small sum left his heirs. I have no key, but the house is yours to do with as The Msterious Steel Walled Room with its Safe for Little Joe Peer In. Hal had found evidence that food stores had been carried away, there, too, he had found an ancient Spanish coin. The steel-barred door resisted all efforts to open it, and Father Brown had gone to town to interview Agent Boggs, who had sold the farm to them. As he sat in the little room Father Brown watched th face of old Boggs you will. Break down the door if you wish to do so.” Back to the House of the Lone Oak went Father Brown, a stout sledge- hammer added to his farm equipment. Yieldng to the sturdy strength of Young Hal the lock finally gave way, the door flew open and a bare, cheer- less room was. revealed. As with the I NAIL aumsm’xs oven 0069: 1-0 musk FL‘ES FROM COWS BACKS AS TflCY ENTER THE EARN. other upper rooms the floor was dust covered, footprints plainly showing where a visitor had passed within. The door stood open, the safe was bare. But what caught Hal’s attention was a_place upon the floor beside the safe, swept clean of dust as if some bulky object had rested. there. “There stood the chest of gold,” whispered Hal to Beth. was taken out and hidden in the tun- nel where .1 found that impression in the dirt. Sure as we live, Sis, the old Captain must have told the truth. And if that chest is on this farm we’ll find it sure.” ' “I know what this room is good for,” announced practical Mother Brown. “The children always have wanted a playroom and this shall be theirs. It wasn’t a prison, just a storeroom. Take the steel door off I and the bars from the windows and it will be quite cheerful. What do you say, Mary and Little Joe?” Cries of delight met the announcement. “Child- ish joy, perhaps,” thought Mother Brown, “will exercise the evil spell cast on these old rooms.” The Brown’s decided that nothing would be said about their strange discover- ies, and now a period of strenuous la- bor set in as Beth and her mother worked about the house and Hal and his dad drove hard at the accumulat- ed tasks of the farm.

But Hal and Beth looked often ’ at the old coin and impatiently await- ed the time when some effort might be made to trace its source. ' During the days Hal had penetrated to remote fastnesses of their new holdings and discovered much rough and heavily timber-ed land. Twice he had found campfires, the warmth 'of ashes scarce dead, but hunters roamed the woods. The visits of Jack Miller had been frequent, but when it came to discussion of the old Captain’s af- fairs, his lips were sealed. Yet it seem- ed to Hal and to Beth-that, withhold ing information, he sought to obtain it from them. “What had they found unusual about the place?” Had they any regrets that. they had come?”oBut if Jack Miller - was an oyster, the Brown’s were clams. So the days passed. ‘ g It was Beth whO'awoke one night to hear a faint tap, tapping which caus« ed her to throw a cloak over her nightgown and hurry to Hal’s room. Softly she shook him, whispering in his ear, “Get up, get up.. Somebody is trying to dig through the basement wall.” Rubbing sleepy eyes. Hal seized flashlight and revolver and stole down the- stairway. Tap, tap, came the sound of steel upon stone. Soundless~ 1y Hal unlocked the basement door. Good Citizenship Our 'Weekly Sermon—By N.

But when you get to talking, don’t let ’em scare you. A wise man once remarked that it is better nbt to know so much than to know so many things that aren’t. Lots of folks know so many things about prohibition that aren’t~ so. For in- stance, here are a few of them: We are ' informed that the eight eenth Amendment was put over in a. hurry, and the country was not ready for it. _But when the Eighteenth Amendment became a part of the Con~ stitution, thirty states were already dry. .Eighty per cent of all, counties were under state prohibition, or local ' option.

H, w ‘ l e SHER WIN-Will IA MS You can’t paint a house with apple ~sauce! HEN the question of painting or repainting your house comes up, don’t be feeleei by a low price. Remember that apple-sauce is not restricted to pretty parlor speeches. There’s a lot of it in “cheap” paint. When anyone tells you, for example, that a elaeap paint is “just as good as SWP” or any other high grade paintflthat’s pure apple-JaIa‘e—plainly exaggerated “unbelievablewtoo good to be true. The reason “cheap" paint can be sold at a of fine old SWP House Paint. The SWP formula is always clearly printed on every can. IV hat the formula test shows Suppose, for example, that you are buying Outside Gloss White: Note the big percentage of lez'ee Leaa’ Carbonate and H/la'te Leaa’ Sulphate used in SWP Out- side Gloss White House Paint. White lead should be the basic ingredient of all White paint and light tints. It is to these paints exactly What flour 1er price is because it is low 2'71 q/ealz'tyflmade of cheap or skimped materials—~which smell and look like paint but can’t play the part on the house. If you want proof of this, insist upon THERE IS 220 50. FEET 0F PA NT is to bread. See how much less ofthis basic ingredient is used in the average “cheap” White paint.

Then compare the materials used in mak- ing the “6/3641?” paint with the ingredients formala———such as the formula of SWP Out- side Gloss White House Paint. It assures a finish of superior wearing quality. it. - 9‘? y. ‘3' w w 1, ‘ 4 | (no , on More than 90% of the pigment ’content of SWP Outside Gloss White is made up of these two important ingredientsfiwhite lead and zinc oxide. In the majority of ”cheap" white paints you will find only 5070 or less. It is the liberal quantity of this ex- pensive basic material in every can of SWP Outside Gloss \Vhite that gives this fine old paint its remarkable cov— ering capacity. In the darker colors like browns and greens, the ”bu/(1216a!formula" of SWP is even more important. Naturally, the dark colors can con— tain little, if any, opaque white pig- ment such as white lead or zinc oxide. Sherwin—Williams have the pick of the world's colors. Sherwin—Wil- liams Dry Color Works produce prac- tically everything except the natural earth and mineral colors. That is why SVVP colors are so rich, so permanent and so true to character. Greater durability of the paint film on your house is assured by SWP due to the use of a specially treated, pure linseed oif~made in Sherwin—\Vil- liams' own linseed oil plant. Price per gallon doesn’t tell the cost of paint When you read or someone tells you that a ”low price" paint costs you less than S\VP~~ that's more app/e— .iaucc~ unbelievable. The place to figure the cost of paint is 022 flue null—enot in the cankr-by the jobewnot by the gallon. Do that and here is what happens: Each gallon of SWP, because of its remarkable [fitting and covering ability, Will properly HOUSE PAINT , for your house. Then get estimates on several ”cheap" paints. Compare them. You will find that SVVP House Paint costs no more for the amount you need than the cheap brands. And remember this: It costs just asmuch to apply the ‘ ‘cheap" paint as to apply SWP. You get more years of service You may hear or read allur— ing claims that a ”cheap" paint is as durable as SVVP. Plain apple—sauce —~ every word of it. S\VP with its fine materials, scientific grinding and mixing, dries to a firm, elastic, glossy finish. It will not chip, peel, chalk, or flake off. It weathers slowly. Years after ”cheap" paint has literally dried up and blown away, your S\VP finish will still show a serviceable film. And when re— painting z'.r need— ed, you will save money because the finish will be in proper condition to take new paint. That is why SW’P often less than half as much per year. COStS Greater beauty, too Finally there is a richness and beau— ty about SWP colors that no ”cheap" beautify and protect 360 square feet of wall (7. coats). 1 The average ”cheap' ' paint can even approach.

Then, don’t get flabbergasted when they tell you that really the thing is not the sentiment of the people at large—that it was done by a ring of fanatics, et oetera. None of the other amendments has the vote behind it that the eighte'enth has. Forty-six out of forty-eight states voted for it. It only requires thirty-six states to- rat- ify an amendment, but prohibition has ten to spare. Eighty-six per cent of the total votes in the state senate were for it, and eighty per cent of the votes in the houses of representatives. It was carried out legally, it was car- ried out gradually, and—there was a lot of enthusiasm about it, too. If now it is thought desirable to repeal the prohibitory law, the way is simple. Just do what was done to get it estab- lished. Get Congress to submit it to the states, and then get the ratifica- tion of thirty-six states for repeal, and the thing is done. If you are going to repeal it, repeal it right. The way is open. It’s as simple as a twist of the wrist, if you can do it. But you can’t. The people of the U. S. A. do not want it repealed. The method chosen by the wets is to laugh it out of court; to make jokes about prohibition on the stage, in the funny papers, in the comic strips, in speeches and songs; to make it ridiculous“ so that it won’t be en- forced. Thus they hope to deliberately, though cunningly, to flour the Con— stitution of the nation. But if one can flour one law, why not others? If a man has not enough respect for the fundamental national constitution to abide by it, in one respect, would he - obey it in other respects? Is it any wonder that boys of eighteen are hold- ing people up, robbing banks, looting houses, when the older and wealthier members of society are doing as they please? Which is worse?

Others say that the law was passed‘ because thousands of youth were in France, and thus could not speak or Vote against it. ,But the congress which submitted the law for ratifica- tion was elected in 1916, before we entered the war. And to say that all the young men in the army and~navy were wets; is a~ deliberate misstate— ment of facts. Thousands of them- were as dry as their fathers at home, and many more were made dry by their experiencesin the war. What of the law today? Well, we know what has taken place since the war. We read how desperate are con- ditions abroad, and how prosperous we have been in the United States. That the European distress is partly due to their enormous drink bill, and that our prosperity is in part due to prohibition, there can be no doubt. When you recollect that for every pound spent on state education in Eng- land, three and a half pounds are poured down people’s throats in the form of liquor, you begin to realize the difference between national pro- hibition and the licensed liquor traffic. We complain because European coun- tries do not pay their war debts, but we forget that England’s drink bill is equal to the interest on all her na~ tional debts. Irving Fisher, one. of our greatest economists, states that. prohibition saves the people of the United States at least six billion dol- lars a year, and probably much more than that. Do we want liquors of any kind,» light or heavy, sold freely, when there is an automobile for every five people Notlyyetll Hold tight. Hang on.

By Mary Richards AVE you ever stopped to consid- H er how much capitalization your kitchen and your idle hours rep- resent? Do you know their potential earning capacity? 'lt's a human characteristic, espe- cially among women, to underestimate their worldly possessions. Doubtless you yourself have often thought, “Wouldn’t it be, delightful to have a charming tea—room, a cakery, a candy- shop, a what-not!” but once the busi- ness germ has been generated, the devils of doubt assail you. You begin by telling your husband about it. And, oh! that never-to-be-forgiven look, that pitying smile of his! The right location is another cause for despondency, and your courage is finally almost shattered in the selec- tion of a name for your stand or store. Of all things, how could any woman he expected to select a name, except possibly when she is contemplating matrimony? Perhaps the best way would be to write to \Vashington to get a list of all the names that have already been copyrighted. What would be the use of selecting a name, only to be disappointed at learning that it already legally belonged to someone else? Work While You Dream. In the contemplation of all of these possible mental hazards, my advice to you is: Dream, if you must—no bridge was ever built without a dream -—but work while you dream. I am suggesting to you how you may capitalize your kitchen by mak- ing breads. The first thing to con- sider, then, is to make nut breads that look good, taste good, and are good. Try out the following formulas. Choose the one or two that your neighbors, your family, and you your- self like the best, and start your bus- iness. The important. factor to remember when you begin, is that it is much better to present a new nut bread to ,the public in a small loaf. In this way it is not only easier to do a larger volume of business from the start, but the dainty little loaf will serve as a Novel Color Scheme Mr. Barred Plymouth Cockerel can now utter a loud crow, not only for his own excellence, but also because he has served as an inspiration for the color scheme in the dresses for his friends, the women folks. In 0 and county’s clothing project, Mrs. C ayton t Sherwood, of the West Milford group. under the leadership of Mrs Clitord ~ Show and Mrs. Oliver Newcomb, looked to the animal world for their color . They chosel a ipfi'izga-gvirtning r (1 Rock cockere w r g Ba m then worked out thob“ ttle rgerficwny With bldck and “It? , shed gingham piped withred bias 'groceries and food3shops, splendid medium of advertising as well. A three and one-half by six and a quarter-inch bread pan is a good size for the small loaf, and a four-inch by seven and one-half-inch for the larger one. A mufiin tin, each individual mold measuring two and one-half inches in diameter, may be used to advantage. Nut muffins made from the same formulas and baked in muf- fin tins, are splendid sellers. Wrappers Are Important. There are various ways of wrapping nut breads. The most effective one I know of is to use transparent paper. Each loaf of bread should be wrapped neatly, the same as any other package, erate oven from fifty to _sixty minutes. Buckwheat Walnut Bread. 2 cups buckwheat flour 1 tb. baking— powder 2 cups white flOur 1,5 cup walnut. meats ' 14 tsp. salt 1% cups milk -— % tsp. soda 2 3 cup molasses Mix and sift the dry ingredients. Add the walnut meats, milk, and mo- lasses, beating thoroughly. Put the mixture into a well-greased pan Let stand twenty minutes, and, bake about forty-five minutes in a moderate oven. Almond Bread. 3 cups whole wheat flour 2 tsp. melted butter 3 tsp. baking-powder 1% cups milk 1 cup sugar , 1 run coarsely chopped 1 tsp. cinnamon almonds 1 tsp. salt cup coarsely chopped 1 egg hazel- nuts Mix and sift the flour, baking-pow- der, sugar and salt. Beat the egg and add the milk. Stir the liquid into the Spark Plug Beats Fat Man ’5‘ Goat‘ Exhibits at Jackson County’s Achievement Day Showed How Important it ‘ is that we Eat Plenty of Fruits and Vegetables if we Wish to Keep in Trim. with this difference—that the seam should be on the bottom, so that it does not show. . The: label, or large seal, should be attached to each end. If the wrapper is sealed well, it‘not only insures the cleanliness of the product, but pre- vents it from being exposed to the air, thereby keeping it fresh longer. The nut muffins may be packed six toa box, in boxes measuring five and one-half by eight inches, two and one— half inches high. The simplest way to dispose of your breads is to sell them through best thus elim- inating the expense and time required to make deliveries direct to the con- sumer. Whole Wheat Peanfit Bread. 4 cups whole wheat flour 1/3 cup chopped peanuts 8 tsp. baking— powder 1 cup peanut butter 1 tsp. salt 2 cups milk 1 cup sugar 2 egg yolks Add the milk, baking» powder, salt, sugar, and peanut butter to the well- beaten yolks, and continue to beat until they are thoroughly blended. Put the eggs and milk in the flour. Stir in the peanuts very gently. Grease bread pans and flour them. Fill about three-quarters full. Sprinkle a few coarsely chopped peanuts over the top of the bread. Bake forty min- utes in a moderate oven. Walnut Raisin Loaf. 2 cups flour ‘ .1 tsp. sods . 2 tsp. “bakingdiowder 115 cup Mount 1 um. slut 1-3 cup moluaesm legs " ‘ loop walnut- meets 1 cup milk 1 3% 11th 0011131.!!!

Mix well. Add the nuts and melted butter. Pour into a bread-pan. Let stand a‘ half hour. Bake in a moderate oven one hour. By frying all thenuts used for nut breads in deep fat until they become a golden brown before they are chop- ped, and allowing them to cool before using them, a much better result may be obtained.

E. Church of Saginaw on Friday, June 3, on the very first home economics’ extension achievement day held in Saginaw county. Under the heading, who, what, ' and where, the following information was gained: Three hundred‘ ninety- eight rooms had been'rearranged ac- cording to the principles of design in , 345 different homes. One hundred fifty additional rooms had received wall treatment according to informa- tion gained in color. Ninety—eight braided rugs had been made, 400 articles had been dyed, 256 lamp shades had been made. Who was responsible for all this? Twenty-four leaders, representing thir- teen local groups, with 151 group mem- be1s. One hundred seventy visitors had been helped, making a total of 321 women who had received direct benefits from the project. The morning session opened at 11.00 a. 111., with Mrs. N. Feet, of Chesan ing, presiding. This session was de- voted to' a discussion of the future work of the county. Miss Julia E. Brekke, assistant state leader, and Mrs. Marian Hoffman, home furnish- ing specialist, explained the various projbcts offered by the college through the home economics’ extension ser- vice. Mr. A. B. Love; county agricul- tural agent, gave briefly what he con- sidered the ultimate aim for the coun- ty. “While we have done a good ’ piece of work this year, we must en-. roll more groups for next year, and eventually Saginaw _ty should have a home demonstration agent to work with the women, just as it now has a county agricultural agent who works with the men, and a county club agent who works with the have and girls,” said Mr." e IDDEN home values discovered are operating power sprayers, trucks, tractors, etc. " . _ A little cooked starch added to the last rinse water for table linens, dresser scarfs, curtains, underslips, and soft shirts gives them a'firmness and finish without the appearance of having‘been starched.

Eaton County Has Record Attend- ance. ‘ Eaton county held its second annual home economics’ extension Achieve ment Day meeting at the Masonic Temple, Charlotte, with 600 women and a sprinkling of men present. Mr. Clair Taylor, county agricultur- al agent, presided at the morning ses- sion. “The clothing projects carried 'on the past two years in Eaton county has been the most successful exten- \ sion projects of any kind I have ever carried on during my eight years of experience as county agent,” said Mr Taylor One of the features of the afternoon program was a pageant portraying the development of clothing, written by Mrs. Ida Miller, of Charlotte. The “Spirit of Prophecy” guarding the hearth fire throughout the enti1e pageant gave her prophecy of the fu- ture. The first character was prehis- toric man dressed in skins of animals; - next followed the American Indian; the colonial dames; Nellie Gray, Mag- gie, and costumes from later periods, ending with a‘costume from the pres- ent mode. The “Spirit of Education,” clad in a Grecian costume, carried her torch and scroll She led the way, and told the audience that education meant change. Ruth Guenther, clothing specialist, reported thirty-three leaders enrolled, representing twenty- four local groups.

The number of applications waiting for service, in« cluding those in new and out- ' lying sections, was reduced fifty per cent. A third transcontinental telephone line was completed to the Pacific coast. , The largest number of miles of toll wire for one year was added to the System—more than 664,000 miles. The average length of time for completing toll calls throughout the System was lowered by thirty-five seconds. A seven per cent improve- ment over the previous year was made in the quality of voice transmission in toll calls. A11 adjustment was made in long distance rates amount- ing to a reduction of about $3,000,000 annually.

Lay a feW‘ boards around any young tree where the hens dust, until the soil becomes packed and the root system has become sufliciently es- tablished to avoid injury from the scratching of the hens.‘ Swat the Roosters. You can sell the summer eggs with the most confidence after you have shipped the roosters to market. In- fertile eggs are the least apt to spoil during hot Weather and they are the best to sell to private customers for waterglass preservation. The more strictly fresh eggs that private cus- tomers will buy for winter preserva~ «tion, the better the returns from the late spring and early summer eggs. Regular customers will not buy eggs in fifteen to thirty dozen orders year after year to place in waterglass un- less they like the eggs when they come from the preserving jars. And the infertile eggs stand the best chance of coming out in good condi- tion. Shipping Poultry. Ship the poultry to large city mar- kets so it will arrive from :Tuesday to Friday. The receipts often increase toward the end of the week, and some of the birds may have to be held over Sunday. This causes considerable shrinkage, and Monday is generally considered a poor day to sell poultry. Be sure that the poultry crates are in good condition before shipment. Even then they will look plenty tough enough when they come back. Poul- try crates seem to receive rather rough handling at times and the bottom boards often spring loose and become broken, even when the most substan- tial commercial crates are used by the poultryman. 7‘ There is little gained in trying to use home-made crates made of rough heavy material. All that you save by not purchasing a galvanized wire crate with a. strong bottom is lost in the increased express paid on a. bulky crate. ling, and an occasional patching, the commerCiai crates with heavy wire sides and stops should be good for about a hundred trips. Such crates show up the birds to good advantage and are easy to open and close. Make Sure of Address. When you have substantial poultry crates, it pays to wire your address on each crate, or mark it with your name and address and some additional June Poultry N otcs Some T zmezfy Suggertzom ’ ' _ 3 By R. G. Kirby ‘ , ..n ‘both are on the tags. With any kind of care in handy , private mark. This helps to prevent ‘ the loss of crates And helps you to 10- onto them promptly When they creme-- results in the suffocation 01 scale of the birds..1,, One commission man ad- "'vises never placing more than 100' pounds of live hens in a standard ecop during hot weather. The same crate should not carry ’more than my to sixty pounds of small Springers, or seventy to ninety pounds of large springers. The crates with wire sides can carry more birds than wooden‘ crates, because of the increased venti- lation. Shipping Crate Tags. Always place a tag at eabh end of the crate. If one tag is torn loose . the other will keep the shipment from becoming lost. Printing the name clearly may help in preventing errors. If your mail address is different from your express address, be sure that This enables prompt returns to come by mail. The tags which commission dealers send out to shippers are better than the home-made tags. Most dealers are glad to send a supply of tagsjo the prospective shipper and replenish the supply of tags as the. returns are made for the shipments. 3, Crates are often piled one on top of the other, so it is not safe to place addresses on top, of the crates. They are easily torn off or smeared and made unreadable. Ship Cockerels Early. Poultrymen have been advised to ship the cockerels early until many have gone- to the other extreme and tried to cashln on the broilers'before they have reached a. desirable mnrket weight. Even Leghorn broilers should weigh at least one and onehalf pounds to bring good prices. Leghorn broilers, weighing less than a pound; are said to be a. drug on the market by some commission men, and birds of that weight should not. be shipped. The law of supply and demand un- doubtedly work in the broiler trade, and some day there may be, a limit to the number of broilers that certain market cities can take at any kind of a. profitable price to the producers. At the same time we have thou- sands of families in many smaller towns that practically never buybroil- ers. take some of the broilers this year, it would undoubtedly help the market. All the cockerels that poultrymen can sell to private ustomers who would not usually buy broilers, is going to help the market this. year. Small” Sales Count. It takes time and extra. work to mar- ket small numbers of birds, even to egg customers that drive out for their supply. 7 But it "is small,proflts here and there that help to keep the poul- try industry going when the supply is heavy and prices are at comparatively low levels. A large number of poultrymen’ are so located that they have little phance to sell poultry meat except through shipments to large city markets where there is always a. ready Sale at same price. The best checks/Will be mailed ’ to those that ship fat broilers that are properly feathered ‘and "of the proper weight.

BABY'S tooth is a very small item to stir up such a fuss. But ._I think it is justifiable interest, for the 1d will have a hard time if teeth a abnormal. The other day a wandering Subscriber wrote of a baby #11 herfn ighboi'hood having the dis- tincti'dii of 'tWo teeth at birth. “Did you ever ear of such a thing?” she asked. Yes. It is not so very uncom- “men, and 'it‘ ybu stop to think of it yOur own baby had teeth at birth— ; twenty cf ’em. The only difference is that in the case of your baby they- were hidden by the gums and did not cut through ’ until seven or eight months of age ' I have preached care of baby teeth for many years, beginning away back When ‘people—éeven doctors—believed that the .“milk'teeth” were only tem- porary, anyway, and did not need jmuch attention. I have insisted that baby teeth must be cleaned and ex- amined and, ”it." need be, repaired so that they will hold an efficient place in the child's jaw until crowded out by their legitimate successors. I did not emphasize diet very much until a few years ago, when a despairing young mother Wrote to say she had followed all my directions and yet the ’yearly gems that belonged to her little th’ree—year-old‘ were decaying before they had learned to masticate. When ‘I discovered that this child got con- densed milk instead of the fresh cow product, and the mainstay of her diet was bread and butter, with a little sugar on top,'because she loved it so, ‘I knew where the trouble lay. Let every mother remember that the time to begin looking after the teeth of her Child 'is before the baby is born. Her own diet should include fresh milk to a moderate extent, ,and green ' 'vegetables’in'abundance. As soon as ‘ the little one is able to take other food than that supplied by the breast, fresh milk should be the main article. When weaned he should“ be taking a quait ‘ of fresh milk daily, also some milk in such attractivefoods as custard, junk— st and cornstarch puddings. A baby can begin to take green vegetables, such as'spinach, beet greens, etc., at about six to eight months, in small amounts, and steadily increase. Of course, the vegetables should be very thoroughly cooked, mashed and strain- ed at first. As soon as you can be sure that he will not gulp it down, ‘ the child may chew raw lettuce and celery; All through his teething age, and well into‘ his teens he s uld have these foods in‘his diet, and for that matter, excepting for a reduction in the quantity of fresh milk, there is no reason why they should not con- .tinue through. adult life. = IANEMIA. .21 Is there more than one kind of ane- this?

Also, please distinguish between the symptoms ac- companying the two diseases. Will Insulin help Where there is hardening of the aIteries and high blood pres- sure?——Michigan Man. The Insulin treatment is not applic— able to any disease excepting diabetes mellitus, commonly known as sugar diabetes. Bright’s disease is essen- tially a disease of the kidney itself. Diabetes is not a disease of the kid- neys primarily, although they may be- come diseased in consequence of the extra work that this diseasé’ throws upon them. I know of no way in which Insulin will help hardening of the art- eries. It will probably relieve high blood pressure when due to diabetic poisoning. “By the’VVay” MATH EMATICS. “And how have you been getting on, Mrs. Mumble?” “Ah, miss, not too well.

Dear Uncle Frank: When I read about what they are all saying about the city and country, I just had to write. I think that some of them hit the city too hard. The city is bad, but the country is nearly as bad. Topsy wants to know what we would do for garden stuff and meat if it wasn’t for the country. Well, that’s all right, but what would the farmers do for their clothes and ma- chinery that they plow the fields with? I think it’s about even, though. I love the country, too, but I also like the city. I have lived in both. As for people who spend 'more'money in the city than in the country, it depends on the kind. of people.

'They seemed not to know where they wanted to go, yet they were always going. Because they always are wiggling, we call them Wigglers‘. . “Croak, croak.

Only a few days before these funny little wig-wagging creatures had hatch- ed from tiny eggs that the mosquitoes had laid. “Dear me,” said one little VViggler as he stopped to rest for a minute on a pond lily leaf, “I think I am losing my coat.” “So am I, so am I, and I,” answe1ed- the othe1 little Wigglers that weie nearby.

GO over the‘list— of told sows and cull out the ones that have not been producing good-sized litters and these that have failed ‘to raise their pigs. If the poor litter produced-is the first one, there is some justifica- tion in keeping the sow for the sum- mer litter. If, on the other hand, she has had several small litters, or has not properly cared for them, she is not a profitable brood sow and should be disposed of. In order to improve the standard of the breeding herd, and possibly en- large it, the more desirable gilts from among the spring pigs should be saved and developed as brood sows. In the selection of these young sows, it is important that the record of the dam be kept in mind. I select them from the large litters and from the sows _\\ threes: 5,, , ~ a . . .

The time to breed will depend upon when it is most convenient to have them farrow. Of course, if they are let go and breed at will, they'will be coming at all times of the year, but I " prefer to have my sows farrow in the, ' spring and fall, making twolitters ar year. ' I prefer to have my spring lit- ters come in the months of March and April, and then in October or Novem-« ber is my next two favorite months, and the earlier in the fall the better, so they can get a good start before ’cold weather sets in. I never like to have pigs come in mid-summer nor mid-Winter. summer pigs are always hard to raise, as it is so hot their nest gets dusty and they get to coughing and soon get runty, and often take the thumps, Steel Stalls and Stanchions Are Part of the Efficient Equipment of the Modern Dairy Barn. \ ‘ that have proven to be good mothers. The tendency to produce large litters is inherited, to a large extent, ‘from the sire and dam, and for that reason is an important factor in the selec- tion of the foundation vstock. foundation animals are selected from flarge litters, this desirable character- istic will become fixed in the herd and greatly enhance its value: For brood sows I secure those that. have a long, deep body and plenty of size. Smoothness and length of body are closely associated with prolificacy. In addition to these points, I want them to have plenty of bone, and stand well on their feet. A good, strong, well-arched back should always be sought. Such a back indicates a strong, well-muscled loin, which al- ‘ ways adds to the 'value of a market hog. The length of time to keep a brood sow in the herd will‘ depend on her ability to breed, and the manner in which she cares for the litter. I always keep a good brood sow just as long as she proves to be a profitable producer. As soon as fails to breed, or when she falls to properly care for her litter, then she is discarded. I mean when she proves this by continued failures a few times. This brings out the importance of keepinga complete record. of 'what each sow does from year to year, so that the unprofitable individuals/“may be “sputted’f and sold on the market or butchered.

But the spring and fall farrowed are much easier handled and more prOfitable.—— R. R. ' PROMOTING 300-POUND H ERDS. 0 your cows average 300 pounds of butter-fat per cow yearly? This question is important to dairymen, be- cause 300 pounds is about twice the average production of all dairy cows, and indicates a profitable herd. ‘ Records analyzed by the United States Department of Agriculture on 18,000 cows in cow testing associations indicate that, an average production of 150 pounds means a net return Of $26 above cast of feed. A cow produc- ing 300 pounds makes a profit of..$74, or almost three'times as much as the cow which ’ produces only half that amount. The 'same' number 'of good cows will produce twice as much but- ter-fat and 'make‘alfilost three times as much profit as average cows; or, ~ the same amount or profit can be made by keeping a greatly reduced '3 number of bettercows, fwjith, a subsel quent saving ., in‘ Téfee'd, labor and other cost. -_ " , I”; ‘ The Herd; Honor Roll flat the 114’ atlon- 9.] Dairy Expodtio’rtfiwas founded in! . herds, ,_ ~- 1924, to heiior-idahjymenLWimse ayerage1300pound§ ‘ ‘ ‘ thought , that natio publicity ~19 The mid- .

Then, by adding silage to the ration the gain was increased from two and one—quarter to two and one~half pounds per day, and the cost reduced nine cents per hundred pounds of gain. Next it was discovered that by elimi- nating the hay, and feeding all silage as roughage, he could make the same gains and greatly reduce the cost of feed. He discovered that one ton of silage would replace 4.6 pounds of corn, and 613 pounds of hay. How- ever, he leaned that the cattle did a little better when they received a small quantity of hay.

Green sil- age has a similar effect on feeding animals to “washy” grass. The best feeding gains are usually made during the first and second months of the feeding period.

HE West Oceana Cow Testing As- sociation finished its year’s work in May with an average production per cow of 7,574 pounds of milk and 361.7 pounds of butter-fat. The five-cow herd of Henry Meyers, of Rothbury, again leads with the highest fat aver- age. His five pure~bred Jerseys aver- aged 10,241 pounds of milk containing 511.4 pounds of fat per cow. These cows returned $2.93 to their owner for every dollar spent for feed. Mr. Meyers is the owner of Pamela Pogis, high cow in the full age class with 530 pounds 'of fat. This cow has a two-year—old daughter who leads her age class with 538 pounds of fat, a three-year—old daughter with 556 pounds of fat, and another three-year- old daughter, Pamela’s Lucia, who is high cow in the association for the year‘just closed-with the very cred- itable record of 11,086 pounds of milk and 591 pounds of butter-fat. The three daughters were all sired by Pogis Silk City Lad who, like many other good sires, has passed on to the packing house. Five years of testing association work has helped Mr. Meyers raise his herd average from 7,232 pounds of milk and 383 pounds of fat, to 10,221 pounds of milk and 511.4 pounds of butter-fat During these five years he has increased his herd aveiage more than 600 pounds of milk and twenty-five pounds of« butter-fat per cow annually. Twenty of the twenty- -one herds test- ed for the full twelve months finished the year with an average production per cow of better than 300 pounds of butter-fat- per year. Seventy-two of the 181 cows tested last year qualified for the Michigan record of perforrhance. All members cf the association fed grain. It is interesting to note that $93. 56 was divided as follows: Rough- the average feed cost per cow of age, $45 67; grain, $47.89. L. Q. Kitchen was the tester in charge during the past year. The as- sociation has twenty-six members and is starting another year’s work with Robert Osborn as tester. HE MUST HAVE 'FELT LlK‘E ONE.

An unexpectedly low estimate of the winter wheat crop caused a sharp re- covery in wheat prices in the last few days, after a period of weakness due to some improvement in weather con- ditions and a slow demand for cash wheat from both domestic and foreign buyers. The official forecast on win- ter'wheat as of June 1 was 537,000,000 bushels, compared with 594,000,000 bushels a month ago, and a final bar- in 1926. The condition of spring wheat was 86.8 per cent of normal against 78.5 per cent a month ago, and a ten-year average of 88.9. Using private esti-' mates of acreage, a spring Wheat yield of about 244,000,000 bushels is indi- cated. Harvest will be in full swing in the southwest in another ten days. This means that hedging pressure will in- crease soon and that broader demand will be needed to sustain values. Whether or not that demand will ap- pear will depend largely on weather and crop developments in the import- ant wheat producing countries. RYE. The rye situation is becoming extremely strong. Since the opening of lake navigation, the visible supply has diminished by about 11,000,000 bushels, and less than 3,000,000 bush- els remain. Part of this is known to ‘ be sold for export, and additional sales are reported from time to time. New ' crop rye will not be available in vol- ume before August. CORN. Corn prices are now in the first im- portant setback since the start of the bull move early in May. The market probably became tired from the pro- longed run in which values increased over 40 per cent. At Chicago, the ad- vance was about 32 to 35 cents, of. which 13 to 14 cents were dropped on this setback. The usual June move- ment of corn to terminals has appear- ed, demand for cash corn became 'more narrow as prices advanced, the rapid shrinkage in the visible supply ceased, while Argentina sold some corn to this country and took away the Canadian market. , ' ,‘The basic situation remains quite The official report for dawn says that the crop shows the w rst condition at this season in 35 in scream?” ,. .3 enlarge that“ pm, 'rs, with. prospects .‘of a.‘flve..,.pe;: _‘ Q - He’d? ‘ my 39s M3,,tew «faiths am Heartache 'l I the job. could not be completed and the planting-being done is fully two weeks late. OATS. , Oats prices had a drastic break, partly in sympathy with corn. «Cash demand is not brisk, but the visible supply continues to decrease rapidly. Crop reports are mixed, but prospects are much more favorable than for corn and indicate somewhere near an av- * erage crop. EEDS Conditions are generally favorable to the clover crop, according to re- ports from the country. The critical period does not come until July and August, after the hay crop is cut. Stocks of old‘seed are pretty well cleaned up and trade is dull, as is usual so late in the season. Alsike and timothy seed business also is slow. Dealers still have good-sized stocks of timothy seed on hand which are hard to sell. ~ FEEDS. Bran was somewhat irregular last week, although middlings and corn feeds were firmly held. Gluten feed is scarce, and is available only from re~ sellers. Demand has slackened gen- erally, but there is frequently a pre- mium for prompt shipment feeds to fill immediate requirements. HAY. Seasonal dullness rules the hay mar- ket. Receipts are moderate but are fully sufficient for the demand, and prices have been irregular. Pastures are in good condition except in some southern sections where rains are needed, relieving the necessity for heavy feeding of hay. Alfalfa hay has declined again in seeking a new crop basis. The condition of the hay crop on June 1 was estimated at 88 per cent of normal, compared with 76 per cent a year ago, and a ten-year June 1 average of 85.3 per cent. Pastures were in better shape at the beginning of June 1 than last year, the condi- tion being estimated at 88.3 per cent, compared with 77 in 1926. . EGGS. The egg market is still sick. Pro- duction continues to run considerably ahead of recent years, dealers are forced to add to the already heavy stocks in “warehouses, street stocks are large in spite of a relatively good consumption, and prices are showing the inevitable result of an over-sup- ply. Prices paid to producers, which ‘ on May 15 averaged 19.8 cents a en, compared with 25.2 cents in 1926*, were, the lowestsince 1916.. 2:,Lowgpric- es usually 'meana heavy interior com; sumption of eggs, so that the large receipts are even more significant as a measure of the heavy production this ,year. Prices ‘-are not likely to show much strength until come less plentifuk Live poultry prices declined to a- new low point for. the season- last week as a result‘of the record-break- ing receipts. High prices of feed, and low prices for eggs have led to close culling of flocks. Hens are cheaper than at this, time in any recent year. ‘Chicago.—Eggs, fresh firsts 20@ 210; extras 21%@22c,; ordinary firsts” 19@1917§c; dirties 17%c; checks at 17%c.

Butter prices lost a little ground last week, although the market re- tains its strong undertone.’_ Produc- tion is gaining steadily and receipts at leading distributing markets are running ahead of last season. Grass butter of good quality is more plenti- ful and dealers are storing all that which cannot be moved at a profit The “shortage” in storage stocks was reduced during May, when accumula- tions at the leading markets were a third larger than in May a year ago. Accumulations were heavy during June, 1926, and the movement this year may not be much, if any, in ex- cess. The market is generally expect- ed to remain fairly well entrenched around the present level, although some dealers believe prices are too high in view of the liberal supplies and that the market is likely to de- cline to the summer~average in 1926. Prices on 92-score creamery were: Chicago 40c; troit, in tubs 37l,é@40c. CHEESE. Cheese prices hold fairly steady, al- though the trade generally would pre- fer a somewhat lower basis on which to start storingioperations.

COOD CATTLE CONTINUE SCABCE. I ‘NIHILE prices of lower grades of steers are in the course of sea- sonal readjustment downward, due to the appearance of grassers 0n the scene, choice and prime grades continue relatively scarce and high- priced. Weighty steers sold at $13.85 at Chicago in the last few days, com- pared with the year’s peak of $14. Quality and water fills considered, fin- ished mature steers and yearlings are ‘selling as high as at any time this year. Total receipts of cattle declined in :the last few days, and prices on the rank and the recovered sharply from the preceding setback. Supplles are likely to remain moderate until late in July, by which time the heavy runs of grassers from the southwest will be under way. The rise in corn is stimulating some liquidation of light and half—ii ished cattle, and supplies of this 0 iber are not likely to be- come smaller than they have been re cently. About all that can be expect- ed is that prices will hold to their present general level for a while lenger. More cows and heifers are arriving than a month ago, and prices have ’lost ground, with a-partial recovery in-the last few days. While this rally flzis likely. to go further, the main trend of prices in this division is downward. Prices of bulls have held close to the Season’s high point; but receipts usu- ally increase-by early summer, and . lower prices can be expected within a wfew weeks. advance in the' last few days, with :Chicago prices about $3.00 over the Veal calves had a. sharp V‘April low spot. 3' Prospects for the summer market for grain- fed cattle are hard to gauge. Usually they have a strong rise by late summer or early fall, owing to increasing scarcity. This year may prove to be an exception, however, since the feeding ratio has been fav- orable for some time, and enough cat- tlemen may be carrying steers into . . long feeds to create a larger market .» six weeks supply later on than at present. More— over, such cattle are already selling $1 to $3 higher than at this time a. year ago Instead of a summer rise, it may be that prices of good cattle will merely hold close to their high‘ present level. Prices of stockers and feeders have declined about 50 cents from the high point of: the season two weeks ago. While they may have a fair rally from ‘ ,this point, or a little lower, they prob— ably will decline further in the next Demand usually is at low ' zebb in July, when feeders are busy fine, especially new seeding; pastures are good; live stock in good condition. 7.

DISTINCT bare ,spet in supplies of lambs in the last. few days has caused a sharp rally in prices, with the Chicago top on choice spring lambs back to $18.75, paid for the in- itial shipment from Washington. This gap in arrivals is not likely to last long, so that the advance undoubtedly will be temporary. Before the end of June, liberal arrivals of native lambs from various parts of the corn belt and the southeast will be on deck and the northwest also is expected to ship rather freely by that time.
