CURRENT COMMENT

RAVELING across





Michigan during



The the past week, we

One-Horse saw several men cul-

Cultwator tivating corn with





one-horse cultivators.

A few of the fields being thus handled

were good. The condition of the oth-

ers were fair to very poor.



But it will require the income from

the best corn to pay for such ineffi-

cient methods of culture. It, of course,

is better for a. man to work corn with

the one-horse outfit than to sit around

doing nothing. But, it is foolish for

such a man to attempt to compete

with the farmer who cultivates with

two and three horses. Some day, but

a short time hence, the one-horse cul-

tivator man will be counted out.

the 01d management had failed to

the operation of this store. That 1ike~

essarily that the new management

will make the business a success. He

But the fact that another person is

that the business may prove success-

other words, the announcement we

have just read gives us new hope.

For instance, a few days ago we

prove practical in the climate of Mich-

because of the saving made by this

method of handling small grains,

these machines will be suited to the

needs of the Michigan farmer as they

have been to the demands of the west-

Comparatively few farm accidents

are reported in the newspapers, and

those that do cree in are commonly

dismissed with three or four lines.

This does not mean,. however, that



' suchaccidents are rare, nOr that they



are usually of a minor character. Hun-

dreds of them occur daily, but few

persons hear about them (outside of

the families directly concerned and a

small circle of friends and acquaint-4

ances) unless they cause death or ser-

ious injuries; and even in these cases

adequate accounts of the accidents

seldom appear save in local neWspa-

pers of limited circulation-



Mowing machines are naturally cap-

able of causing accidents of exceed-

ingly serious nature when things go

wrong. We recall one case of a rather

unusual character, in which the man

who was injured was operating a two

horse machine. In circling the field

where he was Cutting the grass, he

had to drive so near a public highway

that part of the machine extended out

into the road. Just at the wrong mo-



»ment (from the farmer's viewpoint)

an automobile came along, and the

operator of it failed to see the pro-

jecting part of the mower. The car

struck the mower and 'the impact un-

seated its driver and threw him to

the’ground with sufficient force to

this type are far fnoni common, yet

they may recur ‘ whenever the” condi-

‘tions are right. Along public high-

ways in the country, sufficient quanti-

ties of grass often grow on both sides

of the traveled part to repay farmers

for the labor of harvesting the crop,

and this is quite generally done. In

such cases mowing machines are often

used, and danger of the sort indicated

socareless or heedless as to collide

with a large object like a mowing ma-

chine, yet the thing does happen, and

farmers should be mindful of the pos-

sibility when mowing along the high-

way.



A far more usual type of mowing-

machine accident is the one in which

the driver is thrown from his seat by

an unexpected jolt, and falls in front

of the knives. We recall‘ a case of

this kind in which the driver’s right

hand and wrist were so badly lacerat-

ed that it was necessary to amputate

the arm between the wrist and the

elbow; and many other similar cases

could be-cited. An accident of this

type is a possibility whenever one

wheel of a mower passes over a good-

sized stone, or drops into a depression

in the field. We can hardly ask mow-





ing-machine operators to strap them-

but a few feet when the rear wheels

of the tractor bogged down in a mud-

ly. There have been many closely

similar accidents in connection with

tractors, though naturally they have

not all caused death. A large propor-

tion of them have been quite' serious,

however, and it is evidently necessary

to exercise great care when working

with these highly useful, but poten—

tially dangerous machines. The oper-

ating instructions furnished by the

manufacturers should be faithfully ob-

served; in starting to haul a load, the

strain on the draw-bar, chain, or cable

should be taken up_slowly and with-

Power-driven circular saws cause

many serious accidents on farms,»as

well as in industrial establishments

For wood-cutting on farms they are

usually driven by belts connected to 3‘

gasoline engines, tractors, automobiles,

or sometimes electric motors. The

belts are sources of danger because ”Li

they are almost invariably unguarded, " .

and the ,clothing of=- persons passing

.or working near them may be caught

and carried to the pulleys. The count~

monest types of ,1 saw accidents, of

course, are those caused by using bad

judgment, and by slipping or tripping,

so that the hand or some other part

of the body comes in‘ contact with the ‘ \

rapidly revolvingblade. Mutilation is

then a foregone conclusion.



In 'addition, the flywheels of the

saws themselves may burst, and in

such an event the flying pieces are

likely to strike and injure or kill per-

sons in the vicinity. This particular

_hazard is far more real than saw-users

are inclined to believe. Here is an

illustrative example. A New York

state farmer was removing sawdust

from about a circular saw, which was

running at high speed without load,

when the flywheel burst and a piece ‘

of it struck him in the abdomen and "

passed through his body, killing him

almost instantly. In this particular

case it is said that the flywheel had

been cracked for some time—but the

presence of a known crack is by no

means essential to wheel-failure.



The use of power-driven machinery

is not in any way essential to the oc-

currence of serious accidents on the

farm, and it may even be true (though

we make no such assertion) that the

adoption of such machinery has not, "

on the whole, increased the number

of accidents. It is manifest that this

herds. A good deal of feeding is done

in the winter, western sheep and

lambs being brought in. A fertile soil

has everything to do with a. virlle

church.



The building is constructed of reds,

mission brick, trimmed with artificial ‘

stone. The‘auditorium seats 190, and i-

the annex a hundred more. The pews

are comfortable, non-sleep-inducing.

The trim is of oak, and there is a very ’

pleasing beamed ceiling. These peo-

ple believe in putting a bit of art into

the church, and the money has been '

well spent. Below, the large Sunday

School assembly room, which is also

the dining room, serves its purposes

admirably. The kitchen can take care

of a large crowd of men with hay-

field appetites, or a. big banquet of

the ladies’ aid. The building is heat-

ed with steam, lighted with an isolatf

. ‘5' And this is a good place to put

a down the fact that this church is the

’2 child of a union movement, more than

fifty years ago. “Back in the seven-





: ties,” says the dedication program,





' “there were several places in the

' country where the people met for wor-

ship. One group met in the Hall

Church, one met at a church where

the Tuttle cemetery now ‘is, another

met at the Gorham schoolhouse, and

still another met at the Benedict

school, and still another at Berlin Cen-

. ter. But these were too-many to serve

in the best way, and it was suggested





that the two that worshiped at Tuttle»





'and Benedict should unite and build

"a church together. This was agreed

upon, and it was decided to build a

church on a plat of ground offered for

. the purpose by Ira F. LeValley.” This

was in 1876. So this graceful and

sturdy house of God has a tradition of

union behind it, and that counts

considerably.



The social and recreational program

is a full one. The Reverend Charles

E. Thies is the pastor, and a very ac-

tive man. He has to be, to guide so

dynamic a church as this. There is

story telling hour, the story .‘tellers all





being local folks. Each of the pro-

grams is more or.‘less different from

the others, and the committee in

charge is a different committee each

time. Sunday school classes are or-

ganized and have their own parties.

The Standard Bearer-s’ Society has a

membership of about forty, and meets

once a month. This is for young‘peo-

ple of high school age.

Heralds, for younger boys and girls,

likewise has a meeting of its own, on

Saturdays. Of course, the women

come in for their meetings, which of-

ten last all day, and which the,men,

as a. reWard of merit, are sometimes

allowed to attend



One of the lines‘of work which Mr.

Thies has introduced is the Daily Va-

cation Bible School. This summer the

enrollment was fifty, the children com-

ing from seven school districts, and

there were six volunteer teachers. The

church membership is growing stead-

ily. Last year thirty-three new mem-

bers were added to the roll. One class

much he paid for her, but I doubt it.

Probably it is one of those instances

where the quality lingers long after

the price has been forgotten.



Whatever we paid for Daisy, she

would have been a cheap horse at sev-

eral times that price. Her sire was a

pure- -bred Percheion. Her dam was

a rather small and compact farm b100d

maie of no paiticular breeding, as far

as I know. Daisy rarely weighed over

1,500 pounds. Her splendidly formed

body was encased in silky sorrel hair.



2 She was a rare combination of

strength, pluck, endurance and intel-

ligence,



She was happiest when in the col-

lar, with leather st1aining and trace

chains rattling. In fancy I can see

’her now, pulling straight and true,

with ears cocked forward. She knew

how 'to start a load and how to keep

it going We never hitched her to

anything, but that she handled it as

it should have been handled.

her and her mate ahead, you could

strike a back-furrow, or plant rows of

corn or grain that would be the envy

of your neighbors.



A Teamster’s Sweetheart.



In the more than a score of years

'.that she served us, we had many team-

. 3 stars here at Ingleside, but with each



' of them she was the favorite horse on

lathe tam During this period she was

tiertunate to have many good drivers,

and unfortunate enough to have a few

“not quite so skillful and considerate.

~B " he matter who held the reins 01'.





With‘ _





wielded the grain bucket and curry-

comb, she served us faithfully;



Daisy’s cost of upkeep was excep-

tionally low. With her, liniment, gall

cure and sweat pads were almost un-

known. However, we always saw that

she had a well-fitting collar and har-

ness. ‘



Unquestionably one of the big fac-

tors in her long caieer of pleasing

usefulness was her good fortune in

having an appropriate mate, Dora. This

Dora was a half—sister to Daisy, and

possessed most of the latter’s good

points. But she lacked the remark-

able wearing qualities and soundness

of wind and limb that was Daisy’s her-

itage, and so about five years ago we

planted her beneath, the sod.



At that time we purchased another

mare to work with Daisy. Not know-

ing her name, we called this new





The King’s L





first two horse stalls.





But time lays relentless and ines-

capable hands on all things of flesh

and blood, no matter how dauntless

the spirit, or hardy the body During

the last few years stiffness crept into

Daisy’s joints and legs. Then came

the crd‘Wning insult to her pride and

poise. It was the cruelest/cut of, fate.

“Old" Daisy, 'as we had'come to call

her, gradually lost her eyesight. . A,

year or so ago this disability became

so great that, since that

plight has been truly pitiable. Unless'

guided, she was {just as likely as not

to, walk head—on into a fence, or tree

or the side of a barn. Not knowing

where she was going, she naturally

became hesitant and filled with inex-

plainable fears and‘ fancies.



All her life Daisy had despised be-

ing turned out to pasture, even for a

few hours. After becoming blind, she

was less content than ever when we

turned her out. When I would take

the halter and go to bring her into

the barn, she would 'whinney a glad



greeting as soon as she heard me rat-

tle the gate.



Harness Brought New Life.



Sometimes I would find her lying

down: her legs especially stiff, and

would have to lead her painfully at

the end of a very tight halter rope;

to the barn. She would come limping

along as. though it were almost impos-

sible for her to move, and as though

every step were misery. Then I have

harnessed her and started off with her

and the other horse to do some light

work about the farm. And would you

believe it, for the first few minutes,

she would lug ahead on the lines hard-

er than a few minutes before she had

pulled back on the halter rope.





For months we had reluctantly real-

ized that it would be the humane thing

to do to lay her away in a grave be-

side her mate, the first Dora. But as

is so often the case with unpleasant

tasks, we kept putting it err. Satur-

day we summoned our will-power and

courage and didThe fatal deed. A kind

neighbor, who is an expert on such

things, brought down his gun and the

end came suddenly and without pain.

The bullet entered the dear head be-

tween the eyes, and the faithful legs

crumpled and she lay still, without a

kick or a struggle.

T would not be fair to say that

Michigan has more tuberculosis in

poultry than any other state, but

it is one of the group of north central





states that has more than any .other





section of the country. Just why this

is we don’t know positively, but we do

have our suspicions, which will be giv-

en later in this story. That Michigan

flocks have plenty of it is not conjec-

ture. It has been determined by re

cent investigations, in which the hog

has taken an important part.



I shall not forget the disappointment

that came to me when I watched, in

Buffalo, the post-mortem inspection of

the first load of hogs in the entire

country, on which was paid the pre-

mium of ten cents per hundred. In

this load of supposedly clean hogs, six

had tubercular lesions in the throat,

and the heads were condemned as in—

edible. They were produced on the

farm of a boyhood friend, Mr. Charles

Bowditch, Hillsdale county, Michigan.

This was four years ago, after all the

breeding and dairy cattle in the coun-

ty had been tuberculin tested at least

twice, the leactms slaughtered, and

Hillsdale county officially designated

by the federal government and state

as a modified accredited area—«the first

in the United States.



At that time, we knew from the lim-

ited investigations of the federal de-

partment of agriculture that tubercu-

losis in poultry can be transmitted to

hogs, but no one knew it was so large

a factor. Arrangements were immedi-

ately made to have tubercular glands

cut out of Hillsdale county accredited

hogs by Dr. Wende, chief inspector,

and shipped from Buffalo to Dr. Van

Es, the eminent pathologist of the

University of Nebraska at Lincoln.

Dr. Van Es injected this material into

healthy chickens and guinea pigs. Sev-

eral weeks later some of these chick-

ens showed unmistakable signs, of tu-

weight, pale of

comb, etc. When slaughtered there

were the characteristic white or yela‘

and some showed the nodules on the

ed, contained a yellowish, cheesy‘ ma-

terial. Only one-guinea pig had tuber-

culosis.

tract the avian type of the disease, Dr.

Van Es reported that a large percent-

age of.these Hillsdale county hogs had

the avian type of tuberculosis as. a

result of mingling with tuberculous

chickens on the farm.





” When we secured the consent of the





.Chicago packers to pay the ten cent





premium on hogs from accredited

counties, it was thought that if the

tuberculous cattle are eliminated from

a county, the principal cause of tuber-

culosis in hogs will havevbeen remov‘

ed and they will be practically free.

In that case, they would be worth ten

It is true

that the condemnations of carcasses

are very few in these accredited hogs,

but the retentions, or slight cases

caused by chickens are .still high. The

avian type of the disease often causes

the head of the hog to be condemned,

on whichthere is a. loss of from fifty





cents to $1.00 each.





The packers are now paying out

$40,000 per month on premium checks

on accredited hogs received at middle

west markets. Many of these lots are

killed separately to determine the ex-

tent to which tuberculosis is still found

in them. We now have records on

nearly two million accredited hogs

from a large proportion of the 329 ac—

credited counties in the United States.

These show that the condemnations

of carcasses is seventy- fi-ve per Cent

less thah in the hogs for the entire

country, but the retentions or slight

cases, (mostly of avian origin), are





As guinea pigs do not con:





somewhere around 25 per cent less.

The state and federal veterinarians





have applied the-“tuberculin test on ~





poultry flocks in many of these coun-

ties. It is significant that in those

areas where the highest percentage of

hogs are retained for tuberculosis, the

chickens show the highest percentage

of reactors. In some counties ninety

per cent of the poultry flocks contain-

ed one or more reacting birds. It is

not unusual to find twenty per cent of





,the individual birds infected with tu,





berculosis. In one Nebraska county

the reacting chickens were sold sub-

ject to‘ post-mortem inspection, and

one—third were condemned. In all of

these demonstration tests made ‘in

Nebraska, North Dakota, South Da-

kota, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and





‘Michigan, practically no birds under“





six months of age reacted, and com-

paratively few under one year. Birds

over two years-are the worst because

the disease has had time to progress.





Just why there is so much more'





avian tuberculosis in the poultry flocks

of the north central states than in

other sections, is difficult to explain.

The New England States haVe a high-

er percentage of tuberculosis in cattle

than have. the north central states, but

there seems to be very little tubercu-

losis in poultry in the east or in the

south half of the country. There is

also very little bovine tuberculosis in

the south. Our records show a high

percentage of avian tuberculosis in

Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, the

eastern portion of the Dakotas, north-

eastern Nebraska, the northern half

who makes a business of poultry rais.

ing knows that young birds are more

economical egg producers than birds

over two years of age, ,and it is not

a common practice in the east to keep

over old birds, except perhaps, for

breeding purposes on certain farms-





whidh supply eggs to hatcheries. 0n

the larger farms in the central states,

it is not unusual to find on the prem-

ises, hens four, five and six years old,

many of these giving off the germs of

tuberculbsis, contaminating the young





birds of the flock, and also the swinefi

of Iowa, and the northern portion of





Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio.





North Dakota has a. relatively low.

percentage of tuberculosis in cattle.

parently it is not due entirely to the

climate, because the winters are justi

shi1e.One explanation of this situa<

tion is that the farms in the north

central states are much larger than)

eastern farms, and poultry raising on

these larger farms is purely incidental,

whereas, in the east, poultry raising is

of primary importance. In qthen

words, poultry raising in the eastern;

They should be killed and examined

for the white spots on the liver, the

many farms where reacting chickens

are found, none showed physical symp-

toms, and the flock might have been

pronounced free if the test had not

been applied. In case physical symp-

toms\ are not apparent, it is' a good

plan to have the tuberculin test ap—

plied to at least a portion of the flock.

Saving Sweet Clover Seed





Hzgé Scfloo/ Students Build Mach)“; Mat Wants





such a valuable forage and soil-





. N OW that sweet clover has proved





building crop, it is becoming of

increasing importance as a seed crop,

both for use on the home farm and

for sale. Perhaps a few suggestions

on harvesting the seed may be helpful.

The first method generally used was

to cut the sweet clover with a binder,

shock it in the usual way, let it stand

for several weeks, and thenthresh it

in an ordinary threshing machine. Be-

cause the earliest and best seed pods

hull easy, the loss by shattering with

this method is extremely heavy unless

special care is used in handling. Since

the binder must be raised quite high,

long sheet iron boxes can be provided

at the joint between platform and do





vator canvases and at the top of ele—

f vator canvas, and a substantial box at

a the bottom of the binder deck to catch





:the shattered seed. One farmer,





who

equipped his binder with pans in this

way would collect a two-bushel sack

of shattered material in a half-day’s

run, much of it the best grade of hull-

ed seed. When hauling, sheets must

be spread on the‘hay racks and around





‘ the thresher to catch the seed shat-

. ‘ ,tered in handling.

\





Besides the labor and twine expense





[of this method of handling, and the

"heavy loss by shattering, the roughage





has to be taken from the field where

ought to be plowed under, to the

flaw stack, and then at added ex-





ensearehauled to the field to be ;





spread again. Hence, there has been

a demand for some method of harvest—

ing‘.which would eliminate these dis-

advantages. One of these is the beater

harvester designed by Walter A. New-

lin and the High School Agricultural

Club of Casey, Illinois, and made from

a discarded grain binder.



The old binder is stripped to the

main frame and wheels, and then built

up as shown in the illustration. The

three posts supporting the 11/8—inch

reel shaft extend five feet above the

frame and are of one-half by twoinch

iron, bent as shown, and substantially

The old-fashioned ways that made money in farming

before the war have gone by the board. Everything

is changed. The man who sticks to the old ideas has

a hard time of it nowadays.

the service of an oxyacetylene welder.

“I bought the engine at an auction

sale for $5.00,” Merlin explained to

me recently. “The manufacturer had

been out of business for years, and

the owner considered himself lucky to

get rid of the rig at that special price.

Three cogs were missing from the

driving gear; the tank leaked; and

the bolts were badly eaten by rust. It

seemed that I had a White elephant on

my hands, but after arriving home I

loaded the machine in a truck and

hauled it to an oxy-acetylene welding

shop. 3

“With- flux and a piece of iron, the

man with the torch and goggles re-

placed the broken cogs. He sealed the

hole in the tank; and cut out the

rusty bolts that had defied my wrench.

Removing the head, he burned the car-

bon from the cylinders. The entire

job was done during the afternoon,

and the cost was $5.00. The engine

was put to work on my farm that even-





since.



“I saved at least $20 on the deal,

but it was not due to a streak of

luck, because several years ago I

made it a rule never to throw away

an old broken implement until the

welding—man was given a chance to

look it over. Special processes have

been developed along this line during

recent years, and it seldom happens

that the shop cannot make a. satisfac-

tory repair. Iron, aluminum, bronze,

and steel of various grades can now

be worked upon, and old-fashioned

craftsmanship can usually be dupli-

cated.



“By the process, I have brought ma-

chinery, and even household utensils

back into service, after all efforts to

buy repair parts had failed. Even

when such tools have passed their day

of usefulness, the welding-man can of-

ten rebuild them to perform light duf

ties about the farm. \



“With the present price of new ma-





possible. The oxy-acetylene process

does this at one-third the usual repair

cost, and when properly done, the

mended parts will last until the ma-

chine is coinpletely worn out.”-—F. C.

TROUBLE IN CLEANING MI'LKING

MACHINES.





 





I would like to hear, through the

paper, the experiences of readers with

milking machines, especially what they

find the most successful method of

keeping them clean. We‘ have used a

milking machine for some time, and

likedt very much. It doesn’t hurt the

cows, seems to get all the milk, saves

a lot of time and hard work, and is

easy to keep clean, except that a

white material deposits on the teat

cup rubbers which we are unable to

remove, although we wash the machine

carefully every morning and rinse at

night. If any readers. can help me,

I should appreciate it very much—M.





We should be glad to have the ex-

periences of some of our readers with

milking machines, especially-as to the

easiest methods of keeping them clean.





REMOVING CEMENTED LINOLEUM.





 





TWO years ago we put in a new floor

and put down linoleum, using linoleum

cement to stiCk it to the floor round

the edges. Now the floor has settled

and the linoleum has a big wrinkle in

it, and it tends to tear when we try

to loosen it. Can you tell me how to

get it loose without tearing it?—V. M.





Usually, if a thin, flat tool, like a

putty knife or a cake turner is worked

along the floor, the cemented seam can

be loosened without tearing the lin-

oleum or marring the floor. If not,

the cement can be softened by work--

ing some denatured alcohol under the

edges. A long—spouted oil can makes

a ,good thing for doing this. After

this has been on a few minutes, the

putty knife will loosen the linoleum.





KEEP THESE ON'HANQ.





 





0 keep haying equipment running



smoothly, there are certain repairs

that should be purchased in rather gent!

erous quantities and kept on hand.

These include sections for the cutting-

bar, guards, ledger plates for the

guards, guard bolts and nuts, bolts to

hold the side-delivery rake teeth to

the frame on which they are fastened,

slats, bolts and nuts fer the loader,

spare rope for the slings, and possi~

bly an extra pulley.

I USE LAND PLASTER IN OUR

POULTRY HOUSE.





0





URING the past five years I have

been using land plaster (gypsum)

about the poultry house. It is the

best ever for 'use on the dropping

boards as it absorbs a great deal of

moisture, which is highly desirable





 





during damp, rainy weather in the

summer and fall months.

It is used exclusively during the

winter, but I sometimes mix the plas-

ter with wood ashes during the sum-

mer months. As a fertilizer for the

garden, nothing can Compare with

poultry droppings mixed With land

plaster and wood ashes. In planting

lettuce, beans, beets, and other garden

vegetables, I always hoe a small

amount of this mixture into the

ground before planting. ,It is notice-

able all during the growing season. I

can see to the very spot where this

mixture is applied, and the vegetables

grown are better. Maximum yield and

higher quality is the result always.





When preparing rows for celery, af-

ter the trenches or rows are made, I

scatter this mixture in the row, then

apply plenty of water if in dry weath-

er, and when‘ the celery is set it starts

right off growing and matures quickly.

I market early celery everyyear in

this manner.——-Mrs. E. O. S. ,





SOME GARDEN QUESTIONS.





 





My hen park has, been in use about

ten years. This year, I am using it

for vegetables. Would it be all right

to set out strawber1ies there this fall?

The soil was originally clay but has

had so many applications of coal ash-

es that it is easily tilled. How are

geuéziais and wigelias propagated?—





We believe that your hen park

would be suitable for growing straw-

berries, although the coal cinders may

make the surface soil dry. All depends

upon the moisture-holding contents of

the upper soil. It would be all right

to plant strawberries this fall, but one

has to give unusual care to the fall-

set plants. They, should be potted

while they are growing in the rows

and should be transplanted without

removing the soil from the roots.

Spring planting is much easier.



Deutzias and wigelias are propagat-

ed by soft wood cuttings or slips. You

can slip them as you would roses or

similar plants. ‘

propagated by hardwood cuttings that

are matured and set out in spring.

W hy I recommend this





quality fertilizer





 





ELL, I could give you a lot of reasons



why I recommend Swift’s Red Steer

Fertilizers but they would boil down. to'two

things:



I know'who makes them and I know who



- uses them. Swift makes them and the Swift

name on a product always means the best:

product of its kind. Successful wheat growers

around here use them and I’ll take their “judg-

ment on results.



These farmers know that the right kind of

fertilizer gives them more wheat per acre and



. a better grade of wheat—also a good clover

catch and more hay. That all means more

profit. They make sure of the right kind of

fertilizer by using Swift’s.



They use Swift’s high analysis fertilizer

because it gives them their plantfood for less

money—saving on costs of bagging, labor,

freight and hauling.



Come in and we’ll talk this over—from your

standpoint. I know the best farmers here and

how they use fertilizer. I co-operate with

Swift 8: Company and keep informed on the ,

work of our Agricultural College. Let me help .

you select the kind and amount of Swift’s Red

Steer Fertilizer to make you the most money



' on your next wheat crop.

ducers of farm products.



New high records in the building in-





the view that the construction boom

has passed its peak. The automobile

industry has maintained a surprisingly

high level of activity, although with

much unevenness among the different

companies.‘ All branches of ‘the tex-

tile industry, and particularly cotton,

appear to be running at comparatively

high rates. The steel industry has had

a larger seasonal slackening than last

gin increasing again, is near at hand.

Carloadings and bank clearings indi-

cate a high level of trade and rapid

so little adverse effect that it is al-

Commodity prices have continued to

through the progress in output per

HOW FARMERS GET HURT.





 





(Continued from page 97).



may be the case, however, inasmuch.

as the adoption of power-driven ap-

paratus has greatly diminished the

number of operations (themselves also

dangerous) that would otherwise have

to be performed by hand.



Axes and other edged tools cause

many injuries, even when in the hands

of Skilled workmen. A common type

of accident of this sort is illustrated

by a; case in which a man was cutting

timber in the woods, and his axe came

in contact with an overhead branch

which deflected its course so that it

struck his left foot and .cut a. gash

five inches long and deep enough to

almost destroy the foot. The import.

ance of ample head-room is realized

by all ax-men—but not all of them

are careful to see that such freedom





Many a man has learned by/p‘ainful

experience the safe way to split ’WoOd

Beforet the accident he used to hold

the stick with one hand and wield the

ax with the other; but after the wound

on his hand had healed he decided

that it is better to lay the stick down

or set it upright on the chopping

block, and grasp the ax with both

hands.



Pitchforks, iron rakes, hoes, shovels,

and other similar tools are often 1m-

properly uSed or stored. They should

be placed in suitablé‘ racks when no‘t

in use, and should never be left lying

about with their sharp points or edges

turned up



Vicious or frightened animals often

use horns, hoofs, or teeth to kill or

maim their owners or other persons.

Here is an illustrative case from our

records. A farmer’s Wife became .wor-

ried on account of the prolonged ab-

sence of her husband, and proceeded

to search for him. She found his body

lying in a box stall where a bull was

confined. He had entered the stall to

care for the bull, and the animal ap-

parently became enraged, piimed'hjm

against the wall, gored him, and then

trampled on his body.



Many a person has had the experi-

ence of being “treed” by'a bull, or has

escaped with his life by climbing a

fence with undignified haste. In a

case of this kind we follow the good

old rule, “Stand not on the order of

thy going, but go at once." Bulls are

never to be trusted. Many that are

ordinarily gentle and harmless “go

wild” at times and inflict serious in-

juries. They should be approached

and [handled with the utmost caution,

under all circumstances. Some horses

and cows are dangerous also, and care

is needed in dealing with them.—Trav-

SETTLEMENT FOR DEBTS.





 





A farm is being worked on shares,

the land owner owning half the stock

and grain, and the tenant the other

half of stock and grain. The tenant

furnishes all labor. There is to be an

auction sale. The land owner is in

debt. If both parties’ names are on

the bills, could the tenant be held for

half the debts, or could the debtor bid

on the stock and hold it, or can the

banker hold the notes if theland own-

er owes him? What wo d be the best

way to publish a sale that is on shares?

——C. G.





, It will depend entirely upon the type '





of agreement made at the outset. If

the lease is the partnership type, each

party is responsible for the other’s

debts. Under the ordinary lease this

is not true, that is, either party can-

not be held for the other’s obligations,

regardless of who has claims against





the property. Bills could be published _





under the names of the two parties

and stated as such.





\CHARGE FOR PASTURE.





 





What shou1d~I charge per head per

week for letting pasture for cattle,

sheep, and lambs?——J. P. H.





Just what constitutes a fair charge

for pasturage is rather a difficult. ques-

tion to answer, .owing to the Wide

spread in value of land in different

sections of the state, and the marked

variation in the quality of pasture.

Pasture with a rich, luxuriant growth

of grass, abundant shade and with a‘

plentiful supply of Water, is worth a

great deal more than where these fea-

tures are not available.





The amount of stock allowed in a .

pasture also has considerable to do ”





with the quality of the feed and the

price which should be charged.

the neighborhood of thirty-five cents

per head per week for cattle, and five





cents per week for each ewé and her

, lamb comblued, is a fair charge.—

QNEW VARIETY OF WHEAT.





 





NEW wheat has been developed



' at the Michigan State College to

meet requirements 'outlined' by the

Michigan Millers’ Association. Millers

find that a wheat from which good

pastry flour can be milled is not com-

monly raised in this state. This con-





. dition was partly due to the fact that





there was no satisfactory variety ob-

tainable.



The college farm crops department

was asked to conduct a variety test in

an attempt to find a wheat fromwhich

flour for fine pastry could be milled.

From the varieties tried out on the

crops plats, a new strain was selected

from O. A. C. wheat. This wheat was

originally developed at the Ontario

Agricultural College.



The new Wheat has been tried out

fioi‘ several years, and the farm crops

departmentat Michigan State College





.is now satisfied that the new 0. A. C.





No. 4 will be suitable for the farmers

and millers of the state. 0. A. C. is a

soft,.white, winter wheat and promises

to be an excellent yielder. .



Seed from the college farm will be

distributed this year to some of Mich-

igan’s seed wheat growers.

CU can’t afford to take

. chances with an old worn-

out seeding machine. It puts a

heavy expense on every acre

planted—on every crop it sows.

It costs you money in the time





«of your men and your teams or





tractors—in land that brings no

returns. It eats up profits in

grain that never grows.





Be Sure This Year’s Crops

Are Planted Right!





Replace your old drill with -a

new Superior. No other drill

can give you such a perfect job

of seeding. No other drill is so

profitable to use. N 0 other is

built to last so long—to sow seed

so perfectly over such a long

period of years.





For the Superior has exclusive

features that are found in no

other drill. Many of them are

new. Many are patented. And





the basic principle of opera-





tion has been proved in more

than'fifty years of service. ‘





The SUPERIOR DRILL

Means BIGGER CROPS





Today, farmers everywhere

acknowledge the Superior to be

the best drill made. Their

fathers said the same thing. So

did their grandfathers. The

Superior has always been a bet-

ter drill. Every worthwhile

grain drill improvement in the

last fifty years has been a

Superior iinprovement. And

now the Superior is even better

than before. Impossible as it

may seem to present Superior

owners, the Superior has been

further improved.

Family—By Jolm Francis Care '

Mysterious Cave Found, Empty





S they discussed the strange

conduct of Jack Miller, following

the return of Little Joe whom

» he had helped find after an apparent

kidnapping, a kndck was heard and

Young Miller stood in the doorway,

blood dripping from a gash in his

. head.





“Oh, Jack,” cried Beth, as she sprang'

forward and with her handkerchief

began to stanch the flow of blood,

“what happened? How were you hurt?

Quick, tell me.”





Jack Miller dropped into a chair

while Beth and Mother Brown hovered

over him and Father Brown inquired

solicitously what it was all about. Hal

stood aloof with no mark of friendly

interest in his bronzed young face.

Here was a man who was his enemy,

Hal felt, and until matters were ex—

plained they could not be friends

again.





“I ran across that fellow who had

first found Little Joe,” said Jack, “as

he was‘ sneaking around the house

here. I knew him by Joe’s descrip-

tion and I decided you’d like to talk

to him. But he was a little too much

for me. Clipped me on the head with

a club before 1 could say ‘Jack Robin-

son’ and beat it away. He looks like

a tough customer, Mr. Brown.”





“What were you doing here?” de-

manded Hal, and his voice was harsh.

“That’s what we want to know. We

can take care of ‘Slippery Sam’; we

know who and what he‘ is. But we

may have a hard time protecting our-

selves from our friends.”





There was a world of sarcasm in

Hal’s voice and Jack Miller flushed to

the roots of his fair hair. “I don’t

know that I can blame you much for

the way you feel, Hal,” said Jack

slowly as he bowed his aching head.

“But the truth is that I was coming

back to again assure you folks that I

have only your welfare at heart.”





“Prove it,” cut in Hal. “You can

do that by making a clean breast of

the whole thing. Little Joe tells us

there was a black man and an old

white man in a cave and you went

straight there when you left us. Will

you take me to that cave and let me

see and talk to those men?”





OR a moment Jack Miller was



silent. “I can do that,” he finally

said, “without breaking my word.

You’ll agree, Hal, that I’m'in no con-

dition to go now. Tomorrow meet me

where you found me with Little Joe

and bring your father along. You

don’t want me to break any promise

I’ve given, do you?” Jack turned ap-

pealingly to Beth and her eyes were

eloquent as she assured him of her

faith, but Hal failed to warm at all.



“See that you are on hand,” said

Hal. “I’ll be there at nine in the

morning. And I can promise you that

if there are any tricks it won’t be

healthy for you. We’ve got too much

at stake to take chances.” 'Taut as

a strung bow .through the hours of

anxiety Hal went of to his room and

shortly Jack Miller, without offering

further information, left for home.



As Beth accompanied her friend to

his car she pressed his hand and





 





”Hal Wstiedandenly mucking We ‘





AN’T understand that,” said" Jack



as if to himself. Always answered

before.” Plunging, on, the trio soon

came to a door set in the bluff and

cunningly concealed by brush. Toss-

ing the brush away Jack threw back

the door, disclosing a cavernous Open-





ing lightened by rays of the sun which ,





flickered through above. There was

no stir within. The place was silent

as a tomb, as with Jack leading, Fath-

er Brown and Hal went down rough‘

hewn steps. 4 . ‘



“Gone?” cried Jack, mopping a per-

spiring brow. “Gone! I can’t under-

stand it. They' were here yesterday.

whispered, “Jack, won’t you tell me?

You know all about the mystery here

and we have a right to know." But

only a stubborn shake of the blond

head, although'there was pain in his

eyes, was Jack’s answer as slowly he

climbed in and drove away. Some-

thing tugged hard at Beth’s heart as

she watched him go. Was it possible

that Jack was the traitor Hal believed

him to be? No, she could not believe

that it was true.



Up early, Hal busied himself about

the farm until the time came for him

to keep the appointment. Father Brown

had decided to accompany Hal, and

as’ their car rolled out of the drives

way all the other members of the fam-

ily watched'them anxiously as they

drove away. Glum and silent, Hal

drove furiously and in silence followed

the Miller car as its driver led the

way, then turned off on a woods road

showing little travel, and finally came

to a stop in a wild and almost inacces-

sible part of the forest clad hills.

“We’ll go on foot from here,” said

Jack, and in a little while stOpped be

fore a towering bluff, put fingers to

his lips and blew a shrill whistle.

There was no response and Hal won-

on Hal’s lips and in his eyes. “You

as our friend and leading» us out here

on a fool’s errand after you told ’em

to make a getaway.” . '



Jack Miller had proved many times

that he was slow to anger and would

take much, but now he sprang like an

aroused tiger upon Hal, and the boys

rolled and fought upon the cave floor

until the sharp commands of Father

Brown, emphasized by impartially

placed blows brought them panting to

their feet. .The fight had re-opened

,dack’s wound and blood flowed into

his eyes. Then as he wiped the blood

away Jack spoke slowly, deliberately.

“Damn you, Hal Brown,” said Jack,

“I’m through with you! You’ll never

find out anything more from me.”

Turning, while Father Brown restrain-

ed his furious son, Jack left the cave.

As they looked about them in the dim

light they saw in one corner of the

cavern a great brass-bound box. Was

the quest ended, had the gold been

found? (Continued next week).

Q ' "'4





I HE sleeping army! It is net a

‘ safe way to conduct an army,’

General Abner. No place is so

secluded, ,or so far away from the sup-

posed whereabouts, of the enemy, or

so secure in its natural fortifications,

that an army can safely. go to sleep

and forget. Communities often go .to

sleep. The young people have a. hap-

py time, but the aftermath is not al-

Families often go to

sleep, 'and seem to forget that a sleep-

ing family is not a desirable environ-

It isn’t

enough for father to say, “When I

was a boy-”.’ Things are different

now, and we may as well admit it.

Churches often go to sleep. That

would be funny, if it weren’t so pa-





thetic?” Of all places that people do





not want to stay-in, a/s’feeping church

‘ , is the worst. In-

dividuals 'very of-

ten go to sleep,

and do not wake

up. Even the

trumpet on the

day Of judgment

will have tO blow

several times, be-

fore it will be

' . heard, by such.

That is the reason, I suspect, that

Jesus said so emphatically, “Watch

and pray.” Watch, here. means to

keep awake. What He is saying is,

“Keep awake, keep awake! This is

no time to drowse. Take your nap

and have it over, and may it make

you wider awake than ever!”





 





That was a humiliating situation in

which Abner, Saul’s general, found

himself. ,One stroke, and the king

could have been killed. David was

magnanimous. He had reasons for

vengeance. He had been unjustly ac-

cused by a jealous monarch, had been

hunted like a wolf until he must live

in the fastnesses of the hills ‘with a

band of wild» fellows who made their

living as freebooters. Now was his

chance! Night—silence, except'for the

boating of an ow1———the urging of eager

companions—“Just one stroke, David,

and that will fix him,”-—let me strike,

and I won’t need to strike again!”

What would you, I, have done? David

had a noble heart. He would not

strike. But he could not resist having

his little joke, as he called to Abner,

and twitted him with being such a

brave man.





,What was it held David back, from

executing. revenge on the king? Per-

haps we will not agree on the answer,

but I should say it was his respect

fOr the office of the king, not for the

king himself. NO one, said he. can





. put forth his hand against the Lord’s





anointed, and be guiltless. I do not

imagine that he had any great amount

of love for Saul, but he had a very

great reverence for the Office that Saul

held. Which is a good thing to re-

member, for us. Here is a man hold-

ing Office. He may be unworthy, and

should be gotten out at the earliest

Opportunity that it can be done ac-





_. cording to law. But let us respect the





Oifice he holds, even though we may

not regardhim highly. '





‘Let us come back to David a mo- 4





ment, as he stands looking down at

Sup-

. What sat-

isfaction will he get from that? Al-

ways the . memory that he violated

what he knew to be right. When Mac-

beth \hires some murderers to kill

Banquo, against whom he has not any-

thing in the world, except his own

jealousy, Banquets ghost comes to tor-

‘ment him. That ‘night‘a banquet is

‘ given at the palace. Banquo’sghost

comes and sits at the table in' Mao





- beth’s place and the (guilty king cries,

‘ “Thoucmt not any I hid it: never

shake ‘ ’

can see it except the blood-soaked

conscience of the king. That vision

of the murdered man never leaves,

him. Over and over something says

to him, ,“Macbeths’hall sleep no more,"

and he never does. From that time

he never knows an easy hour. Re-

venge is not nearly as sweet as some

people think it is. They that take the

sword shall perish with the sword.

Forgiveness is healingflike the action

of good blood upon a wound. Revenge

is like acid on it, that stings and

testers.



Saul had his good side. .When he

saw what David had done, he felt the

depth of shame. He admitted that he

had played the fool. It takes a pretty

good man to admit that. We all do

it, but we do not like to say so. “I

am scrry.” Did you ever say that?

It takes a man to say it.



As we think of what David did, the

night he found Saul and his army

asleep, we think of our own Lincoln’s.

attitude toward Secretary Chase.

Chase was secretary of the treasury,

a very able man, and ambitious. He

was doing everything he could think,

Of, to getyhimself before the country,





so as to secure the presidential nomiu r





nation, over Lincoln, and this when





he was in Lincoln’s cabinet, and was ~





supposed to be loyal to his chief: Said

a friend to Lincoln, “Don’t you know

that Chase wants tO be president?”

“0, don’t worry about Chase,” said

the president. He has just as good a

right to want to be president as any

man in America.

him to be President.” Can that be

beaten, for magnanimity? David nev-

er did anything finer than that. But

that is not all. Mr. Chase resigned,

after creating much disturbance in the

cabinet. A. vacancy just then occur-

red in the chief justiceship, the most

coveted judicial post in America. Said

Lincoln, “Mr. Chase will make a good

chief justice, and I will appoint him."

That was one of the most inagnani;

mous, forgiving deeds ever done in:

America. That was good for evil. That

was overcoming evil with good. The

history Of our country affords nothing

greater in spirit than that. It was the'

spirit of David, as lie forgave his bit-i

terest enemy.

- CONSTIPATIO‘N‘ OF'CHIL'QREN' AND

VEN in the breast-fed infant, eon.

stipation may appear, The moth-





INFANTS.



E er frequently makes matters

worse by attempting to correct it with

‘castor oil or other laxatives. You can-

not 'cure constipation _wlth medicine.

Let the mother look out for herself

and the baby lioth. See that a suffi-

cient amount of water is given to

drink. Orange juice or tomato juice

should be given daily to every baby.

‘It is not given as a laxative, yet it

does help the bowels somewhat.



When necessary, use a spear of soap

or. glycerine rectal suppository to se-

cure one bowel movement daily. This

has its advantages, because you can

start a regular bowel habit by attend-

ing to this at a regular time each day,

and holding the ‘baby over her chair

at the time. One of the advantages of

early feeding of cereals is that you





may choose whole grains that have a

laxative tendency.





In older children constipation is

very commonly due to lack of regu—

larity in visiting the toilet. The moth-

er must insist upon regularity in\ this

habit. The foods most helpful to con-

stipated children are the coarser cer-

eals, whole wheat bread, leafy vegeta-

bles, and fresh fruit. An excellent and

palatable food for this purpose, is

raisin bread, made by using one cup

each of white flour, graham flour and

cornmeal, a cup of raisins, a cup of

molasses, a little baking powder, and

either sweet or sour milk to make a

soft batter. This may be baked slow-

ly or steamed. Children eat it eagerly

and it serves the purpose of nutrition,

as well as regulation of the bowels.





Green‘vegetables, such as spinach,

chard and cauliflower, are new recom-

’?nended for children of all ages, from

six months and older. In the young

babies one has to begin with great

caution, but if the food is carefully

prepared it is highly profitable. The

vegetables must be cooked over a slow

fire for a long time, and should be

mashed thoroughly. Much of their

value is in the fluid, so it should not

be thrown away, but used with bread'

or in soup.,_,As children grow older

the regular use of such vegetables will

effectively guard against constipation.



Some children do not drink a suffi-

cient amount of water. This .is very

important, too. I think the things of

chief importance in the constipation

of children are;



1. Regular habit of toilet.



2. " Eating a mixed diet that includes

vegetables and fruit.



3. Drinking sufficient water.





GROWTH IN NOSE.





 





I have a funny growth in my nose

that may be adenoids.” Our home doc-

tor removed it once, but it has come



| films; Is it anything like cancer?—





This is not adenoid tissue. It is

probably a nasal polypus. If the doc-

tor is careful to , remove the entire

growth and eradicate its base, it will

not recur. It is not like cancer, being

usually more annoying than" serious.

Readers’ Opinions





 





 





THE CORN BORER WAR.





 





N your issue of July 16, you print-



ed an articleunder “Current Com-

ment,” entitled, “The Corn Borer

War." In closing you say, “A small

percentage of farmers in Michigan,

however, have suffered damage far be-

yond this two dollar limit in comply-

ing with the government regulations.

This was due to the destruction of

growing crops in 'order to destroy the

corn crop remnants scattered over

these fields. In the spirit of justice

we feel that these men ought to be

compensated in some manner for their

loyalty in carrying out the regulations

laid down by the state and federaI

governments. How can it be done?”



The answer to your question is very

simple. Let the state or federal gov-

ernment pay‘ the farmer all the ex-

pense of the clean-up. This is only

justice. Anything short of it is an

outrage. This clean-up is not for the

benefit of the farmer alone, but it is

for the benefit of every person in the

United States. Why, then, should the

expense, or any unequal part thereof,

be asst‘ssed to any individual? If land

is needed ,for roads or other public

benefits, the owner is paid'in full for

it. He is not deprived of it without

just compensation. Why, then, should

he be deprived of his labor (which is

his property) for the public benefit,

without just compensation?



Your article leads me to believe

that you are very much misinformed in

regard to the attitude of the farmer

toward the past clean-up. He did it,





   





. l

eral good health. The fact that your,

trouble is between your fingers sug-





ery time he picked a stalk. He was

willing to do the work, but when a





little official with a fat salary and a;





furnished automobile, drove into his

yard and told him he would not be

allowed more than two dollars per

acre for work done, which usually

would not be more than fifteen or





twenty cents per hour, and if he did'





not do it, the government would, pay-

ing fifty-two cents per hour and

charge it back to him, he naturally

was mad clear'through. He was a

loyal American citizen, had enlisted

in the war, hired money at“ seven per

cent interest to buy government bonds

bearing four and a quarter per cent,

and done everything he was asked to





do, and now he was compelled to work,





for one-half the pay given to a for—

eigner, have the amount charged

against him, and all done for the ben-

efit of the general public.



,We are told the campaign is under

way for next year. Well, the farmers





are also ready (in some sections, at,





least), and if there is no change in

the regulations the constitutionality of





the law will be tested. ” I am told ‘by‘

good authority that it is not constitu-j





tional, but if it is, God help us. What





can’t we be made to do at the behest ,





of a few cranks.





The agricultural department' was:

supposed to benefit the farmer, but in.





this case it is an injury to many. It





is true that many farmers can do the:

extra work for the price, but it is also‘

cannot, to say'

Why'





true that very many

nothing about the indirect loss.

not discharge most of the needless ofl'i-

cials, junk the needless and useless

machinery, and tell the farmer to do

what he can and he will be paid for

it, and if he cannot do it all, then the

government will do it for him and

stand the expense. If this is done,

all opposition will disappear, and it

will cost no more than under the pres-

ent plan. This would work an injus-

tice to no one, as the general‘ public

gets the benefit and would, and should,

pay for it.——A. L. Norton.





Practically all insect-eating plants

grow in acid bogs where nitrogen is

not available for their roots.

Stories From Bugville

T he Earthworm and the Snail





o





R. EARTHWORM slowly wig—



» gled his way to the top of the

ground. He had just finished



his supper of soil and decayed

leaves, and was ready for his wig-wag-

ging stroll on the surface. (Perhaps

you, my little reader, do not call this

creature an Earthworm. You call him

an Angleworm and seek as many of

1118 kind as you can find when you go





fishing. But his real name is Earth-

worm).





As Mr. Earthworm poked his head

outs1de, he was very glad to find that

he was 1n the cool, moist shade of a

leaf. Here he could be safe for a

minute from a hungry robin or spar-

row who might come along to gobble

him up for their supper.





He wiggled and wiggled until he

was entirely out of..-his little tunnel

house in the ground. He knew some-

one was 00ming toward him and he

was very much afraid. Now an Earth-



orm hasno eyes with which to see,

no ears With whichto hear, and even

his sense of smell is very‘limited. But

his sense of touch is so good that he

can tell from the motion of the air,

or the jarmng of the ground when dan-

ger is near. « .





Before he had time togretreat to his—





little tunnel house, Mr. Snail called,

“Good evening, Mr. Earthworm. Pray

do not be afraid. I am your friend,

the Snail.” , . '- V

. “Good evening,” greeted Mr. Earth-

;vorfm, ,“but how can you see who I

m ' ‘



“Most everyone thinks that I ”cane





\





not see, but I have eyeslat the ends

of my feelers,” replied the snail.

“They tell me you always carry/your

house around on your back,” observed

the Earthworm. “It must be slow

gomg to always do that.”



“Not at all, not at all,” replied the

Snail. “I’ll wager I can beat you in

a race to the oak tree.”



“ “Agreed,” answered the Earthworm.



One, two three, go.” He felt very





sure that Khe could wiggle his way





faster than the Snail c'ould crawl and

carry his house on his back.



But 1t was by no means an equal

race, for the Earthworm could not see

where he was going, and soo lost his

way among the leaves. When

reached the oak tree he waited and

Cooking Failures Can Be





 





emed1ed





Way: to Salvage Foods Mat Ga Amm :72 Me Maézag





ERY often the bride in the kitch-



en decides that sauce pans and

spiders and oven are bewitched.

Everything burns for her. “Things”

never burned in her mother’s kitchen.

She must remember that her moth-

er learned through years of experience

exactly the amount of water needed

to cook potatoes just right. She must

learn that time flies “when her back

is turned and that she must keep

close watch of the minutes until ex-

perience has taught her to gauge time.

But when the potatoes boil dry and

start to burn, put the pan at once into

a larger pan of cold water and then

shake the potatoes out in a clean pan

or bowl for mashing or creaming. If

the scorching has not been great, no

one will ever know it happened. If,

however, there is a hard, dark brown





‘crust burned on one side of the po-





tatoes, carefully cut away the burned

part, and after mashing and seasoning





,as usual, add grated cheese and one





well~beaten egg. Pile in a baking dish

and bake in' a moderate oven for fif-

teen minutes.



Any vegetable that has just started

to burn can be placed in the pan of

cold water and shaken, not scraped,





 





To the good among his des-

cendants, home is paradise.—

Hare.





 





 





 





from the burned pan into a fresh one

ting and seasoning.



One .ecaution to keep in mind

when cooking potatoes which have





.been out in halves, leaving a smooth,





flat surface, is to be sure that the

rounded side of the vegetable rests

against the saucepan. Acquire the

habit of shaking any pan of vegetables

cooking on the stove.



Use extreme care in salting vege~

tables, especially the delicately flavor-

ed ones, such as asparagus and peas,

as they require very little salt.



If the soup has been salted too gen-

enously, add from half a cup to a

whole cup of sliced raw potatoes. Let

stand ten or fifteen minutes, remove

and serve. The potatoes will absorb

the excess salt.



If a. cake burns on the bottom, the

burned part will usually “peel” off

when the cake is warm, or it can be

grated off when the cake cools. The

next time you bake, put the grate up

one or two notches in the oven, or





put a shallow pan of water directly





under the cake. This will temper the

heat at the bottom of the oven.



If the mayonnaise separates, take

another egg yolk and slowly beat in

the curdled dressing, then continue





.until all the oil and lemon juice is





used. .



1 If a custard sauce curdles, beat it

hard with a wheel egg beater. This

same egg beater will often beat the





,fl‘d’mps out of a white sauce that has

3 refused to come smooth.





If the sauce

is very lumpy it can be put through

TABLE OILCLOTH DOES DOUBLE

DUTY.





 





OW many times a thrifty house-



wife sighs when she looks at the

oilcloth on her kitchen table, She

would like to discard it for a new one,

but thinks she cannot afford it, as it

is now badly worn in some places, and

she feels that she should get more

service out of it.



I have discovered that this old oil-

cloth can be cut up to make very ser—

viceable aprons to use on washdays,

or while washing dishes.



I use an old rubber apron'as a pat-

side to tie around the waist. This

makes‘a waterproof apron that is in-

expensive and will serve the purpose

as well as any rubber apron you buy.



Two or more aprons may be cut

from one piece of oilcloth, according

to size and conditibn ‘of the oilcloth.





P'If there is an extra piece of colored

bias binding in the .sewing basket, it_





can be used for binding the edges and

will, of course, give the apron a more

As such a practical use can be made

of the old covers, one then feels that

a bright new piece can be bought for

PAPER PICNICS POPULAR.





 





HIS is the time Of year when a



little forethought saves a lot of

nervous energy just When it needs to

be conserved. Picnics are plentiful, and

because we won’t have the season with

us long, we must make the most of it.

Also, it is canning time, haying time,

and almost threshing time.



Our family has three picnicisii planned

ahead, but I"shall not allow them to

make extra work for me, and shall

plamthem so that I can enjoy them as

much as the rest of the family. In the

first place, we shall take very few

dishes, and rely almost entirely on pa-

per dishes. Besides the familiar stand-

bys of paper cloths and napkins, there

are paper cups, plates and sauce dish-

es With a paraffin finish that makes

them better for eating ice cream, sal-

ads, or other food of a moist nature.

Paper spoons and forks take but little

space, but we prefer to take the ones

we use at home.



The experienced follower of the pic-

nic trail has long proved that every-

Fortunately, it is coming to be more

and more popular to simplify our good





times so- that they are not a burden to





anyone. I recall the time when we

thought we co'uld not have a picnic

KINKS FOR EASY CANNING.





 





IT is much easier to test fruit jars

for leakage before filling them with

fruit, meat or vegetables, than to do

it afterwards, as many do. It, also,

saves tiihe and needless vexation. "

Thoroughly cleanse and sterilize the

fruit jars and caps when they are emp-





. tied, and before they are set away.





When ready to use have ready a ket-

tle of boiling water, place rubbers on

jars, fill one-quarter full with boiling

water, seal and inVert. If any prove

leaky, loosen cap and remedy' detect

by pressing down edges with the“ back

of a knife blade. If this is not effective,

use a new cap and invert to stand

until cool. - '





When expecting to care for a large

amount of fruit, meat or vegetables in

one day, I prepare jars the previous

evening and leave inverted until morn-

ing. By following this method, I nev-

er have to invert a jar that has been

filled, and when the jars are opened

later on, the caps are practically clean.



There are many like me who cannot

amord an eXpensive cooker for use

in canning by the cold-pack method.

least Take same strips of thin board

strips, making a raft to fit the bottom

the birds, not only fills our hearts with

rejoicing that they, too, may be al-

Who could be downhearted and sad

Uncle Frank, don’t you think ”that

dogs? It seems like it, anyway. They

aren’t as law-abiding as their fore-

fathers were, and what about the pet-

ting, smoking and drinking? I for one,

do not like it. It isn’t only the boys

who drink and Smoke, because the

girls do, too. '



Yes, many are the parents who stay

up nights to watch and wait for their

girls and.‘ boys to come home, who

went out in the evening and don’t

come home until after midnight, some—

times even at 4:00 a. to. Many come

home intoxicated. Why not discuss

Don’t think that I’m old-

fashioned, but I don’t like such things.

I am in favor of ‘bobbed hair and

knickers, but against rouge, lipstick,

etc.

Dear Uncle Frank:



I sure enjoy all of the outdoo

sports. In the summer time Ilike to

have an interesting story and go out

into the woods and read. Sometimes

just to think and listen to the birds

sing. My favorite books are “Eyes

of the World,” “Treasure of Heaven,”

“White Sister,” “Mysterious Rider.” I

would like to get acquainted with Mo!-

ly, or correspond with. her.



Would like to meet Mr. Rothfuss.

Judging by his letters, he seems to be

quite interesting. Uncle Frank, are

you interesting? I did not mean that

I meant to ask if you have any sons.

How old are they? My, but I’m in-

quisitive, huh? Please overlook that

one question, Uncle, as I just wrote it

and did not mean it.. It’s about time

I signed off.———Gertrude Pripephal.



I, too, like to go out in the woods

and listen and to forget all worldly

troubles. I can’t tell whether I am

interesting or not. My two sons are

aged fifteen years, and they may be

interesting. Perhaps you infer that I





may be too old to be interesting?

HATQHERyMEN EMPHASIZE

- \_ ' QUALITY cmcKs.





 





THE recent meeting of the Interna-

tional Baby Chick Association, at





”Grand Rapids, brought out the owners

, or more than 1, 000 hatcheries who are

members of the organization, with the





addition 50f hundreds of visitors and

practical poultrymen who do not op—

erate. hatcheries, but. are interested in

their p‘r’o‘dudt.



The manufacturers’ display contain-

ed about~ everything'that the poultry-

men and hatcherymen need, from in-

cubators holding 47,000 eggs, down to

trap nests and self-feeders for chicks.

The'large display rooms of the Pant-

lind Hotel contained exhibits of more

useful poultry equipment than has

ever been assembled before in one

place in Michigan. It.is evidence of

the great increase in the poultry busi-

ness all over the United States. _Ten

or fifteen years ago it would have

been impossible to assemble such a

display. The really great development

in the poultry business is of compar-

atively recent date.



The production of “quality chicks”

proved the key-note of the convention.

The present season the country ab-

sorbed more chicks than ever before

and this has been largely due- to in-

creased faith in the hatchery business

on the part of farmers and commer-

cial egg producers. Many of the hatch-

erymen claim that there is no surplus

of quality chicks, and that the produc-

tion of high-grade stock at a profitable

price will continue as a safe business

without 7 the necessity of worrying

about over-production.



Service to the farmer-buyers of

chicks is becoming more important

each year. Hatcherymen are trying

to send out livable chicks which will

prove good layers, and in that way

build up confidence in their business

among the buyers.



According to Thomas J. Rigg, pres-

ident of the American Poultry Associ-

ation, the' selling of baby chicks is a

very logical development of the selling

and distributing of standard bred poul-

try, and the American Poultry Associa-

tion is ready and eager to cooperate

with the members of the International

Baby Chick. Association in any way

possible. "The hatcherymen also real-

ize the necessity of selling chicks

which will develop into floCks of uni-

formity in quality and appearance.

They believe that the future of the

business depends on the selling of the

quality chick, and not just chicks that

are cheap in price.



A business cannot produce a quality

article and continue in business unless

that article is sold at a profit. For

this reason the hatcherymen favor bet-

ter chicks at a’fair price, rather than

the needless hatching of more cheap

chicks than the country can possibly

absorb at a pro-fit.‘ '



According to C. I. Bashore, secretary

of the International Baby Chick Asso-

ciation, there have been fewer com-

plaints from buyers of baby chicks

brought to the attention of the asso—

ciation than in any previous year.

This is considered an indication of

the fact that hatcherymen are turning

out better Chicks, and that buyers are

becoming more skilled in the work of

feeding and brooding It tends to

prove that the industry is rapidly be-

ing placed on a safer basis than ever

before. ‘The financial condition of the

association is the best in its history

and this indicates the loyal support

Which it is receiving from members,





“and is encouraging for the future de-

velopment of the baby chick industry.





 

 





 





chicks has developed lwithin the last

two decades to be the most important





\branch of the poultry industry; im-





partant because the entire Welfare of





“the industry, its future growth and





development are all tied up in the

success of the hatchery business.



A few years ago the breeder was the

key to the industry; he furnished the

seed stock which populated the poul—

try farms of the nation.

omies evolved through the develop-

ment of commercial production of baby

chicks were so quickly recognized,

and so substantial, that people have

ceased to hatch their own chicks, or





buy hatching eggs or breeding stock, . »





and the bulk of poultrymen within a

few short years, have turned to ready

made baby chicks as the source of

their new stock, and as a means of

increasing. their capacities.”——R. G. K.





 





TB IN MICHIGAN POULTRY.

led something as follows: Kill and

burn all the birds that show physical

symptoms, and market the balance of

the flock at the close of the egg-laying

season. ‘If it is desired to keep over

a. few birds for laying purposes, noth-

ing over two years old should be re-

served, and these should be confined

to temporary quarters. The hen house

where the infected birds were kept

should be thoroughly cleaned and dis-

infected. No chickens should be al-

lowed the run of the grounds adjacent

to the buildings for several months,

preferably a year, to give the sunshine

an opportunity to kill the germs in

the soil. When day—old chicks are pur-

chased in the spring they should be

kept in brooders, on clean ground in

a nearby field. If the infected birds

have had the run of this field it should

be plowed and seeded to green crops.

It would be safe to transfer young

chickens to the hen house late in the

fall, certainly so if they are confined

to the house and not given the run of

the grounds adjacent until the follow-

ing spring. The facts are, that if {the

practice is followed of keeping only

bird’s"under two years of age, there

would be very little tuberculosis in

poultry. Many make it a practice of

keeping only pullets for laying pur-

poses. ‘Some experts say that if only

pullet eggs are.used for hatching pur—

poses, the chicks have less vigor. If

that is true, the young chickens can

be purchased from hatcheries that pro-

cure eggs from older birds for hatch-

ing purposes. These Comparatively

few breeding flocks should be. tuber-

culin tested.



Recent investigations by Fitch, of

the University of Minnesota, show that

tuberculosis is not transmitted through

the egg to any appreciable extent.

Fitch and Graham, of Illinois have

both found that eggs can be artificially

inoculated with the germ of tubercu—

losis. No investigations 'to date have

shown ‘ that avian tuberculosis, as

found in poultry, is transmitted in

more than a slight degree to people.





The bovine germ is readily transmit— ,





ted to children and to begs. There is

very little transmission from cattle to

poultry or vice versa. -



The cost of production in eggs or

meat is so greatly increased when the

flock is badly infected with tubercu-

losis, every possible effort should be

made to get rid of the disease as

quickly as possible. Better poultry-

lot sanitation will help solve, not only

the problem of tuberculosis eradica»

tion; but also that of other diseases of

poultry that are soil- home. The poul-

try flock is such an important source





. of revenue that the method of hand— "

lid; for best results is of the greatest ,

The feature of the meeting was a

description by Mr. Endicott of his re-‘

trip was participated in by a consid-

throughout the country in pursuance

of arrangements made by the Ameri-

enteen states wererrepresented in the

party. They first spent a week in

England, with headquarters in Lon-'

in the surrounding country. The

breeders were royally entertained ev-‘i

erywhere, including afternoon teas,§

which are an important part of Eng-'

The Dangerous Season





JULY AND AUGUST are the dangerous months for

the dairy herd. Hot weather, swarms of flies, dried

and shortened pastures all combine to throw cows

into a slump. And a slump in milk production now

will cut your profits in the Fall.





At this season of the year your herd must have

plenty ofshade, plenty of water and a good grain ration

to provide the necessary nutrients not furnished by

midsummer pastures. A simple mixture containing





Diamond Corn Gluten Meal





in a moderate quantity, say 25% of the whole, filled

out with bran, ground oats and a little oilmeal—

and fed morning and night —— will bring your herd l

safely through the dangerous season.

WHEAT.



While weather conditions have been

more favorable for rust development

recently, the damage done has been

too small to turn the market upward

and .prices have dropped to a new low

point for the season. Primary receipts

are heavy, export sales remain small,

and mills are not buying in an eager

manner. Primary receipts have been

comparatively heavy in the last ten

days. Probably the peak of the hard

winter wheat movement has been

reached. With export business dull,

and mills taking hold in an indifferent

way, cash prices have shown no spe-

cial strength. Large shipments to Chi-

cago for delivery on July contracts

have indicated the weakness of the

distributing demand. The visible sup-

ply is gradually increasing, although

not at an extremely rapid rate.





CORN.





Corn prices advanced in the last

few days to the highest point since





early in June, but sagged off again.





with wheat. The visible supply is grad-

ually decreasing as a result of light

receipts and fair demand. It rem s

above normal, so that there is no -

ger of commercial scarcity for many

months, but the poor outlook for the

new crop makes holders very firm, es-

, jeclally in the case of high-grade corn.

,' .Still higher prices are quite certain,

but it is extremely uncertain how or

* .when they will be reached.





OATS.



Primary receipts of cats have in-

creased sharply in the last few days,

and shipments have fallen off, suggest-

ing that stocks at terminals may cease

to decline as they have been doing for

many months. Some reports have

' ‘fointed to poor threshing returns, but

' It is probable that the crop will equal

the official forecast.





FEEDS.

Wheat feeds were strong to higher





last week, although mill output show-





ed some gain over the preceding week.

iddlings have been substituted for

, m in some instances, due to the

scarcity and high prices of the latter,

and dtemand has. been fully equal to

on from good pastures.

conditions remain highly favorable to‘

the clover crop and a-rgood yield of

seed is expected. Retail sales during

the spring season of sweet clo'ver, al-

falfa, Kentucky bluegrass, sorgos, cow-

peas, and soy beans were greater than

in 1926, but sales of red and alsike

clover were considerably less, accofi-

ing to the U. S. Department of Agri-





culture.

,. HAY]. '



The decline in hay prices which set

in at the beginning of the new crop

year, has continued until farmers are

reluctant to sell their hay. Timothy,

prices for top grades average $4 to

$6 per ton lower than at this time sev-

eral years past. Alfalfa and prairie

prices for No. 1 grades- also are lower

on the average than at the correspond-

ing time in recent years.



WOOL. .



Demand for wool has been fairly

well maintained up- to the present

It is the general belief in the

trade that sales to the mills in the

last six weeks represent a substantial

fraction of the new clip. The manu-

facturing outlook is fairly good, as

there appears to be no accumulations

of goods or clothing, and mills have

received sufficient orders to maintain

operations at the higher rate estab-

lished in the last few months. ,The

United States Department of Agricul-

ture states that wool prices are ex-

pected to shew a. rising tendency dur-

ing the next six months, although no

considerable increase is anticipated.



Scarcity of fine fresh, eggs has kept

the market fully steady and dealers

are inclined to look for higher prices

in the near future. Quality varies

widely as is usual at this time of year,

and prime refrigerator stock takes

preference over many of the current

receipts of fresh. Advices from the

country are fairly unanimous in re-

porting a large poultry population and

estimating a heavy early fall egg pro-





duction.

,‘ . BUTTER.



Butter prices weakened at the close

last week, losing most of the recent

advance. Receipts were lighter than-

in the preceding week, although con-

ditions are favorable to milk produc-

ion in all parts of the country, and

the usual seasonal decline in the but-

ter make is slow. Stocks in storage

are steadily growing, and this, togeth~

er with the fact that general produc-

ing conditions are more favorable this





' year than last for late summer butter





production, so that there is little like-

lihood that production will drop as

sharply from now on as ,in 1926, makes

dealers unwilling to buy much, if any,

ahead'of actual requirements. Prices

are likely to encounter resistance on

any advances from the current level.



Prices on 92-score creamery were:

Chicago 400;, New York 410; Detroit

37%@39c pound.





POTATOES.





Prices paid for potatoes at ship-

ping points are relatively stronger

than in the larger consuming centerd.

Supplies are not burdensome, but trad-

ing is dull as dealers generally expect

lower prices in view of the prospects

forthe crop in the main surplus states

where about 26,000,000 bushels more

will be harvested this year than last.

Prices average a little higher than last

year in spite of the liberal supplies.

LIGHT CATTLE GAIN POPULARITY.

ABRIEF period of ’,light receipts

checked the downward tendency



in cattle prices, but the market



is inclined to slip again as the run

picks up. While arrivals at leading

markets are somewhat heavier than a

month ago, they have been the light-

est at this season in five years, and

about fifteen peg; cent less than nor~

a .

steers disappeared and prices rallied

.to the highest of [the year. Heavy

steers havelost nearly, all/tot their





 

 

 





premium over yearlin- _~ and. handy-

weights, due, to thg. \ -‘ee on the

lighter kinds rathe

_.~ LlGHT HOGS REACH $11.





 





’ I 'HE 2Iuly rally in hog prices carried.

chmce light 'weights up to $11,

compared with the year’s low. of



$9 on June 8, and $1 .75 at the year’s



peak last winter. ’ oderate receipts

suitable for fresh trade requirements

were chiefly responsible. Arrivals

have fallen off about...-twenty per cent

compared with a month ago. In'the

last ten days, they were smaller than



a year previous, whereas most of the



time iii-the preceding three-months



itiling”(were substantially larger than





The next two months should be a

period of fairly strong hog prices.





_ Just what level of values will, prevail





.will depend on market reoei ts. A

variation of a million head in t e num-

ber in the country available for mill“

ket in the next sixty days would cause

a big shift in prices. While marketa

.ingsjare expected ~to fall below last

year, stocks of hog meats in storage

to be merchandised during the next

four months exceed last yearsnhold-

._4n%s by the equivalent
