Bigger yields per acre

cut crop costs. increase profits

PRACTICAL crop experts and successful
farmers figure it this. way on wheat: It
takes a certain number of bushels on every
acre to pay production costs. In the “extra
bushels,” beyond that, lie the profit.

You can get these “extra bushels” by using
the right kind of fertilizer—that has been
.proved. Six of the leading Experiment Sta—
tions have shown that the use of fertilizer
produces an average increase of more than
twelve bushels of wheat an acre.~ _

That isn’t all. With the right kind of fer-
tilizer you get a better grade of wheat—and that means
higher prices; you get a good clover catch—and that means
more hay. ‘ . ‘

.Bc we of your fertilizer , .~
If these are the facts, why take chances with the kind of
fertilizer you use?

Successful farmers don’t. They put their faith in Swift’s
Red Steer Fertilizers. They know they can depend on these
fertilizers because they are Swift’s. They know the Swift
name on any product means something—that for more
than 50 years it has meant the bestproduct of its kind.

Follow the practice of these successful wheat growers, the
advice of practical crop experts. Plan now for more wheat
per acre, for a Wbett‘er grade of wheat—by using Swift’s Red
Steer Fertilizer this fall. Don’t forget that withv'Swift’s Red
Steer Fertilizers you can plant late and avoid the Hessian fly.

with its multitude of attractions. The
year 1927' will prove'no exception un-

' less it be in the number of surprises
‘ which the management may have in

store. A representative of this paper
found a small army" of men busy on

- the grounds out on Woodward avenue

this week, in preparation for this time-

honored event, which for the sev‘enty- '

eighth year will mark the progress of
the Wolverine state. _ ‘
Director Palmer, .in charge of live
stock and exhibits, whose office is the
storm center of activity, pointed with

pride to a pile of entries on his desk.

and said, “If those early arrivals are
a criterion, we will have the best live
stock show in the history of Michigan.
Already many of the prize farms of
America are listed among the exhibit-
ors. We should feel particularly hon-
ored because of the fact that Michi-
gan has been selected as one of four
states which are permitted to award

a prize donated by the Royal Belgian '

Society of Draft Horse Breeders. This

coveted trophy will go to the best stal- '

lion or mare on exhibition. .

The horseshow which has been
growing by leaps and bounds, will be
held on the first five nights of the
week, in the coliseum. No afternoon
events will be given as formerly, but
the night program will be interspersed
with vaudeville acts and other novel-

ties. Many bands have been‘provided

«for the 'fair, and one of the host will

give nightly concerts at the horse
show. \ »

The pulling contest forvdraft teams,
a new feature this season, will be held
in front, of the grand stand on the fore-
noons of'September 6-7, and a number
of entries are alreadyfiassured.

Ponies, dear to the hearts of the

children, are well provided for, and

one program will contain most of these
.events, thereby making it a. juvenile
performance.

A novelty in the cattle department
will be the commercial cattle classes.
The Michigan Beef Producers’ Asso
ciation, with commendable foresight,
has offered specials to the amount of
$250 for the best pure-bred or grade

 

steer, bred, fed and exhibited by a
Michigan resident. The first five ani-
mals in this class are pledged to ab-
solute‘ sale at auction during the fair,
and these choice viands will eventu-
ally find their'way to thetables of
some fortunate hotel. The state in-
stitution dairy herds that were so
much admired in 1926, will be better
than ever in 1927.

The sheep and wool exhibit prom-
ises to be excellent, and the numerous
specials and futurities in the swine
department assure increased interest
in that line.

Poultry will again come into its own.
The space in the poultry building,
which has been curtailed by the pres-
ence of the department of conserva-
tion, will this year be filled to over-

good season, and a fine display of hon-
ey is expected. Home economics and
domestic science products will
found in abundance in the dairy build-
ing, together with a goodly display of
butter and cheese.

By far the largest number of in-
quiries to date have come from proud
mothers intent upon entering their lit~
tle ones in the better baby contest.
This rapidly growing feature of the
fair will break all records, judging
from present indications.

The large amount of space hereto-
fore unused in the coliseum building,
will be devoted to a number of ex-
hibits, chief among which will be the
Department of Conservation, Depart-
ment of Agriculture, (both state and
U. S.), U. S. Shipping Board, Depart-
ment of Education, and a score of oth-
er smaller, but not less interesting,
units.

The new Agricultural Building will
be resplendent with the products of
the farm and garden, which will be
augmented by the products of forest
and mine. Novelties in the way of
entertainment will feature an old fid-
dlers’ contest, a horseshoe pitching
contest, and hog-calling contest.

The boys’ and girls’ clubs, one of
the best features of the fair, will be
enlarged upon, and the boys’ state fair
school will be continued as in past
years.

, Laying House fOr Winter Eggs
T fie fine/emery 2': (a Secure Uniform Production for All Season;
By A. C. Page

HE'diiference between Novem
, her, December and January eggs
at fifty or sixty cents a dozen,
and May and June eggs at twenty
.cents, is so great that you can afford
to think about building the right _kind
of a laying house. The whole ten-
dency in handling the poultry flock is
toward methods which will bring uni-
form production, regardless of weather
or season. This not only means ready
money from poultry, but also steady
money. " ,
When you quit thinking of a poultry
house as an expense and begin figur-
ing on it as working equipment that
will pay good dividends, you are ready
\to consider doing the job right. A
house alone won’t guarantee you win-
ter eggs, but without a good house, all

. your efforts at improving the stock

and feeding" better rations will be
wasted. . .
What do you want in a laying house;
and how shall. it be built? A few prin-
ciples are clear. The house must be
comfortable for the hens. It must be
light and airy without being ' drafty
and chilly. It must be wellyentllated.

and it must be easily‘cleaned: . _

‘ There have been many arguments

open Eocene side, on the theory that
air Sivfldfihe hens enough red
‘ ’ keep them warm“;

 

 

anyway. Various other proposals for
open-air construction have been
brought out, but every one of them has
been an alibi to try and save a. couple
of dollars in building cost, and then
prove that‘it made the best job any-
way.

Don’t waste your time on any such
substitutes for genuine, sound con-
struction. Hens are a lot like people.
They can’t work best when they are
cold. In a chilly house you can keep
them going sometimes, by feeding a
large amount of scratch grain which
acts simply as fuel to keep them warm.
It is expensive fuel, and you could bet-
ter afford to burn coal and keep them
warm that way.

A ColdHouse is Qrafty.

To [make a house with tight walls,
having no cracks or knot holes for
the wind to' come through (ices not
give assurance against drafts. A great
many persons never understand the
cause of draftiness, but it is well to
know that wherever air goes up
against a cold roof, or isin contact

_ with cold ,‘side Walls, it is rapidly
chilled ”so that it tends to flow down.
.. For. this" reasOn a house with the out;

sigegwalls and roof cold, no matter}

how tight-they are, is almost certain

 

to be a drafty, uncomfortable house.
Warmth in the poultry house is
important in connection with ventila-
tion. When the temperature falls be-
low freezing, the moisture in the air
condenses quickly and falls to the
floor, making the litter grow soggy and
wet. It is hardly possible to carry
away the excess moisture and give
good ventilation unless the air tem-
perature is kept above freezing.

Insulation ought to ‘be a part of
your plan for the construction of a
modern laying house. You may in-
sulate with sawdust, or shavings, or
shredded cornstalks, or you may use
insulating board which goes on easily,
or you may use a blanket type of in-
sulation if you have it protected from
the chickens on the inside. The re-
sults you get will not only save the
heat in the house, but will greatly
simplify the ventilation problem.

.Some of the most modern laying
houses that are .being built in north-
ern ten'itories are now equipped with
a small heating arrangement, which
at a cost of a very small amount of
coal each day, maintains the tempera-
ture above .Jreezing. This simplifies

’the question of ventilation and, there-

fore, keeps the litter on'the floor dry

andsanitary throughout the winter.

A successful laying house can be
constructed of the simple shed-roof
type, but lined throughout with an in-
sulating board. Ventilators are pro-
vided in the roof to carry away excess
moisture and give suitable circulation
of fresh air. The smooth ceiling is
clean and warm, and the hens cannot
fail to do well in the abundant sun-

shine that comes from the big south

windows.

The floor construction of the laying
house depends somewhat on local con-
ditions. A very successful type of
floor is built up a foot or more from
the surrounding ground level then fill-
ed in with cinders or gravel and a con-
crete floor is laid. Over this is placed
a tight layer of water-proofed felt roof-
ing, cemented with asphalt, and finally
on the top of this a three-inch cement

floor which is finished up smooth for A

the final surface. The layer of roofing,
or the hollow tile is to keep away
moisture from coming in at the bot-
tom.

A variation of this type of construc-
tion is to place a layer of flat hollow.
tilein place of the first layer of con-
crete, although such tile should 'be

 

bedded in cement to make them solid.

 

If imperfect tileecan be secured they
will serve just as well as others;

are consuming from thirty to fifty per

I don’t know why they call them
fairs, because there’s lots about them
that ain’t fair. Fer inst, you get a.
nickel’s werth of eats for fifteen cents,

'and the shows where a. fellow kin see

the. wonders of the world all for one
quarter. ’

The show you see outside makes you
think you’re going to see something
inside, but, when
you get in you
find the show is
inside out, and

fer ain’t as good
as what you got
free. The only
scientific part I
kin see about this
stuff is that all of everything known
in the science of bunk is used in per-
suading the money from your pockets.

That part of the fairs is just fair.
There’s other parts what is good. Of
course, you kin pay a dollar or so to
see some horses race, but it don’t cost
you a cent to see them stand still. You
kin go into the barns and look at the
horses, cows, etc., all you want and it
don’t cost nothing. You kin hear pigs
grunt and sheep blah without charge,
just like you kin on the farm.

But they’re differunt animules than
most of us is got on the farm. They’ve
got their hair curled and the way it’s
done, I don’t. see why those fellows.
don’t get jobs in barber shops curling
women’s hair. But, of course, all us
men know womin is harder to handle
than ani'muies. It sure would cost
something if womin would have as
much of a job of curling to be done
as a good-sized fat heifer.

And they manicure their toes, etc.
Gosh, you know, if we’d take as good
care of ourselves as they do of them
fair animules we’d look pretty fair,
too. Seems funny—the fellOws what
take care of the animules ain’t much
on caring for themselves. They should
be what you call well-groomed, too.

Well, I’m going to get my hair curl-

fruits depends upon the care giv-'
"en them during the late summer and
fall. After they, have yielded their
annual harvest, it is quite natural for
V the gardener to let down a little in his

the. plants are preparing to give the
next crop: and the wise grower will
do all in his power to assist them.
It goes without/saying thatlall small

there is no time of the year when the
weeds grow with greater vigor than

viligance is necessary to keep them
out of the garden.

It is not the general practice to plant

found that the everbearers do better

planted at any other time of the year.
I believe that it is better to treat the
everbearing kinds as an annual crop
than to try to crop them for two or
three years. Let me briefly outline
my method of handling them.

The plants are usually set about Oc-
tober 1, which gives them a chance to
get established before they freeze up,
and they are in good shape to produce
a good’crop of fruit the following sum-
mer. It has been found that the ever-

fruits when they are grown by the hill
system. Under this plan, all runners
are kept cutoff so that all the vitality
of the plant goes toward building .up
the one clump. Likewise, the hill sys-
tem permits closer planting; plants
fifteen to eighteen inches apart in the
.row, with rows about two and one-half
feet apart, is ample for this method.
Another advantage of the hill culture
is the ease of keeping a weedless field.
The blossoms are kept picked off until

' about the first of July, and from then
on until winter, comes the'harvest.
Of course, it is necessary to allow
a row or twg to make runners enough
to renew the bed. If spring fruiting
varieties are not grown, it is well to
keep over a part of the planting until
the next year to supply berries during
the spring months, or until the new
bed comes into bearing in July. When
the new planting starts to,produce
fruit, the'old one can be plowed down
for a crop of" cabbage or other late
vegetable crop.
The choice of varieties of everbear—
ers for the home garden is largely a
matter of personal preference: Per-
sonally, I prefer Progressive and Mas-
todon; Progressive for its wonderful
quality, and Mastodon~ for quality and
size. Small size of fruit, the 'usual
fault found with Progressive, is over-
come, to a large extent, in the hill
system of culture.
_ In those parts of the state where
snow can not be depended upon for a
mulch, some other protective covering
must be provided. Straw or marsh
hay, as free of. Weed seed as possible,
is ideal for this purpose. It should be
applied as soon as the ground freezes
so as to prevent alternate. thawing and
freezing, which is so detrimental to all
plant life—C. W. VWood.

FRUIT HAULED BY TRUCK.
THE motor truck is becoming a big

factor in the transportation of
fruit in the fruit districts of south—
-western Michigan, according to R. S.
. Schumakermfederal market statisti-
, cian. Mr. Schumaker’s report indi-
cates that to, Chicago alone over 640,

675 carloads were shipped by rail, the
rest going by truck, or being consum-
ed by the cannery. Mr. Shumaker
estimates that about half of the west-
ern Michigan fruit was carried by
truck. »

CHESTNUT, BLIGHT. RESEARCH
NEEDED.

S an example of how failure to
provide adequate funds for re-
search- has ,caused untold economic
losses, both to farmers and to the na-
tion, the farm organization represent-
atives who are asking for larger fed-
eral appropriations for research, point
out that in the past twentyofive years
millions of acres of chestnut trees, na-
tive in twenty—two states of the east
and south. have been killed by blight.
If more money had been made avail-
able many years ago for a thorough
study of the blight, probably some
means of successfully combating it
would have been found. But today the
blight still remains practically uncon-
trolled and most of the chestnut
forest growth north of; Virginia and
east of the Alleghany river has been
killed by the blight; and chestnut trees
in the Southern Appalachians and
Ohio valley will be destroyed in the
near future. In addition to the loss
suffered by farmers, the present do-
mestic scarcity of chestnut trees
makes it necessary to import large
quantities of tannin at great expense.

HIGH BUSH CRANBERRY.

I am enclosing a twig and some fruit
of plant which is strange to me.
Would .you please let me know what
It is, and if it is edible?—J. M.

The shrub with the red berries is
Viburnum opulus, High Bush Cranber-
ry or Wild Guelder rose. This is na-

tive to the northern part of the coun-

try. The friuts of this are edible and
are used in making sauce, jams, and
jellies. There is very great variability
in the quality of the fruit from this
bush, some being insipid, or even dis-
agreeable to the taste, others being a
very good flavor. At one of the ex-
periment stations in Newaork, a good
many hundred bushes from various

sources have been brought together in .

an attempt to improve the quality of
the fruit and bring this into cultiva-
tion.——Ernest A. Bessey.

TOMATO TROUBLE.

Please tell me what is wrong with
my tomatoes. The vines are very
rank and lie on the ground, the to-
matoes rot before starting to ripen,
and those that lie well exposed to the
sun rot as much as those that are
entirely hidden from the sun. I have
trimmed the tops of the vines—W. S.

Tomatoes sometimes show some
blossom end rot. This rot is caused
by a breaking down of the tissue of
the fruit, due to abnormal growth con-
ditions, followed, by invasion of soil
molds. ~ Wet soil has been responsible
for most of the rot; however, very
dry years usually produce the same
type, of loss. In seasons where the
rainfall is uniform, blossom end rot is
rarely found.

Stakingthe vines so that the fruit
does not rest on the ground, will aid
Where irrigation is
used, as in greenhouses, rot can be
avoided by attention to uniform wa~
tering.—C.IW. Bennett.

FARM RELIEF PROPOSAL.

 

' I 'HE new, so- -called administration
farm relief proposal, does not ap-
pear to have met the approval of eith-

er the McNary-Hauge-n bill advocates, ,

or the more conservative farm organi-
zation leaders. It would create a fed-
eral farm board to supervise the use
of a $300,000,000 federal revolving
fund in financing agricultural cooper-
atives, and to attempt to control pro-
duction by the distribution of statis-
tical information relative to world pro—
duction of farm products. It is the
opinion of farm representatives that
no plan of farm relief will be effective
which does not give agriculture as ef-
fective protection as the tariff gives
to industry.

 

MORE MONEY FOR RESEARCH.

 

THE farm organization representa-
tives are agreed that whatever
form of farm relief is finally adopted
by the government, itshould be sup-
plemented by more funds for research.
which has contributed immeasurably
toward making the American farmer
produce more per worker than is pro-
duced in any other country. Only ten
cents per man, woman and child in
the United States is spent annually
for the entire research and extension
work of the department of agriculture,
whereas, the promotion of marine
transportation gets fifty-four cents.

PRESIDENT NOT FAVORABLE TO
EQUALIZATION FEE PRO-
VISION.

N OWING with some degree of cer-

tainty that President Coolidge will
veto any bill containing an equaliza-
tion fee provision, it is thought prob-
able that farm organization leaders,
with the exception of those who will
have the McNary-Haugen bill or noth-
ing, will eventually decide to accept
the administration plan as a step to-
ward farm relief, with the expectation
that future amendments will give them
practically all they asked for in the
McNary—Haugen scheme.

 

AUTO M EN ACTIVE.

 

Hi} legislative program prepared

by the National Automobile Cham-
ber of Commerce, to present to Con-
gress next winter, includes the ques‘
tion of continuing government ap—
propriations for federal aid roads;
government action which will offset

the monopolistic control of rubber and‘

maintain fair prices to the users of
automobiles; tax reduction, including
repeal of the automobile excise tax
and corporation tax reduction; and
steps to promote the sale of motor ve—
hicles abroad.

 

MY 600011599!
11' PA AN'AL COULD

All these demands except the last,
are of special interest to American
farmers who, as a class, are extensive
users of gasoline-driven vehicles. They
pay a large share of the automobile
taxes, and the over-charge for tires,
because of monopolistic Control, is
passed along to the farmers by the
dealers.

FTER considerable parley, the

Michigan Potato Producers’ Asso-
ciation, the first in the certified seed
potato industry in’ this state, has de-
termined to pare for its own seed in-
spection.

This association objected to the sup-
ervision of the seed inspection being
under the control of the Michigan
Crop Improvement Association. The

Subsequent to this action, the ass<1—*
ciation engaged the services of Dr.
John Bushnell, plant pathologist of the
Ohio State 'University, to superviseits
inspection. Dr. Bushnell is well known
as 'a plant pathologist, and his pres-
tige in Ohio, where many certified seed
buyers are, will undoubtedly be a trade
asset to the association.

BUSINESS MEN STUDY FARM
RELIEF

 

ARM relief will have a prominent

place at a meeting of .business
men representing the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States to be
held at West Baden Springs, Indiana,
October 15 to 18. The discussion
will center around the report of the
commission appointed by the Chamber
to investigate agricultural conditions,
which will be made public at that
time. Other matters that will en-
gage the attention of the delegates
are flood control and tax reduction.

PUBLIC RIGHT IN RIVERS.

 

Has the government control of all
bodies of water? If so, how far on
each side of the water on land? Has
government control of streams, creeks,
rivers, or any othei larger body of
water? How many feet of land has it
contiol of on each side of the body of
water? Has anybody any right to walk
on land along a running body of wa-
ter?—E. J. .

The sale of land bordering upon a
stream generally carries ownership to
the purchaser to the center of the
stream. If the stream be navigable
for any purpose, any member of the
public has a right to make use of the
stream for travel the same as any
other highway; but he has no right
to make use of the bed of the stream,
except to anchor, nor to go upon the
banks—Rood.

LIABILITY FOR AUTO ACCIDENT.

 

A young man and his fiancee drove
into my yard and accidentally ran into
my three- ”year -old ewe, injuring her
back so I had to kill her. The girl,
who had no license, was driving. Who
is liable for the damage—the man who
owns the car, the girl or her father?
—0 D. R.

The person driving the car, if neg—
ligent, is liable for the damage. The
owner of the car is also liable if it
was driven with his knowledge and
consent. The father of the girl is not
liable—Rood.

ground from another man on a fifty-
fifty basis. What should the owner of.
the 120 acres do to make up fort the
feed which I bring home and feed to
the cattle, which We are to feed joint-
ly. I do not hire a man. ——H. J.

The landlord should 1eceive part of
the income derived from outside
sources.

Any income from labor performed
by the tenant off from the farm should
be considered as farm income; thus
the landlord receives a portion of
same. Otherwise the tenant could
neglect the farm at any time he sees
fit. If, on the other hand, he is work-
ing the farm satisfactorily and the
landlord consents to him working ad-
ditional land, it would be reasonable
to expect the landlord to pay his share
for any additional feed brought on the
farm. In any case of this nature,
there should be a definite understand-
ing between the landlord and tenant
at the outset—F. T. Riddell.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A FIFTY-
FIFTY ARRANGEMENT?

 

I am working a farm on the fifty-
fifty basis,’ each party furnishing half
the seed and taking half of the crops.
Am I to furnish all the board and help
for threshing and pressing, as I sel-
dom have any of my hay pressed? I
have a small patch of raspberries for
which the owner furnished part of
canes. What share is the other party
entitled to when I take care of them
and pick all of them?—C. J. G.

In the ordinary fifty-fifty lease it
is generally the practice for the ten-
ant to furnish all the labor for thresh-
ing, including their board. The land-

V— SILO IN BARN.

 

Amwconsidering building a silo in
the corner of my barn. Would it be
safe to do so?—L. T. S.

The disadvantages of building a silo
inside of a barn are, that it occupies
room in the barn; as a. rule, it is more
difficult to set up a filler, and get corn
to the filler, and also the odors from
the silage would permeate the stable,
unless the silage was kept in an en-
closure.

The advantages are, that the silo
will not need painting and will not
swell as much, due to weather, and
you will not have as much trouble from
freezing, so that I should say that, if
you can spare the room in the barn,

without much difficulty, that it won]

Everyone realizes:the importance of roof construction
in the building of a home ;—-—-r00f construction of a.
closed car is equally important, because the roof of
.the closed car is not only subjected to the elements
but to severe strains and stresses as -well. That is
why in a Body by Fisher the roof is always so

strength of the roof, as of the entire Fisher body, adds
greatly to the safety of travel in all cars equipped.

This pulverizer will save money for you on
fall seeding in three ways.

1. It saves power and labor because one op-
eration each with disc barrow and pulverizer
will put a plowed field in shape for the drill.

2. It saves at least one-third of the time you
, would take with other tools to fit the same
seed bed. ,

3. It saves by giving a firm, moist, mellow
soil in which ALL the seed will sprout and
get a good stand before winter comes.

This tool will help you raise your crop for
less money.

SPENT all last week attending
the great Ionia Free Fair. Now‘
don’t judge me too harshly. l
Wasn’t patronizing the gambling. dens,
straining my eyes looking at th

dancing girls or even watching the

races. I was busy early and late
playing the valet to our :exhibit of
Ingleshire Farm Shropshires and Milk»
ing Shorthorns.

A person certainly sees and thinks
of a wide variety of interesting things
' No
one can question the factvthat agri-
cultural fairs rank among the greatest
educational institutions in our modern
life. They give city people an oppor-
tunity to see first hand the best agri-
cultuIal and horticultural products
and serve as a veritable short course
in up-to-date agriculture for? farmers
who study the exhibits and profit by
what they see. '

In passing it might not be amiss to
point out that the fair as we know it
is a. distinctly American, institution.
It probably had its origin in the sales
fairs held on the commons and in the
market places of England and Europe.
A comparison of the merits of the
animals offered for sale developed into

judging and competitive shdwing, but

the whole idea was for the purpose
of sale. In the American; fair the
accent is placed on the competition
and immediate and direct sales are
usually of secondaiy interest , -

Judging day at the fair may well
be 1ega1ded as the examination day
for the farmers entering competitive
exhibits. Each annual exhibition is
another milestone marking the path-
way of agricultural and mechanical
progress. A fair properly conducted
is a great stimulus to farming and
shows the possibilities of the commun-
ity which it serves and tends to pro-
mote the development of a type of
agriculture adapted to that locality.

Looking backward, we find that the
first fair held in the United States
was in 1812 and was attended by
5,000 people. Now we have more than
2,000 fairs in America each year with
an aggregate attendance in excess of
25, 000, 000 people. There are 82 an-
nual fairs held in Michigan.

See What You Go to See

There is something about a fair
which is probably true of almost
everything in human life. That is,
we see about what we want to see
and find the things for which we are
looking. One person may go to a
[fair to study the livestock. Another
may spend all his time in the grand-
stand. Still a third may scrutinize the
automobiles and new machinery, while
a fourth may squander his time and
money trying to beat fate in some
game of chance orfeat of skill where
the odds are ten to one against him.
If you would ask each of these men
the next day to give their impression
of the t’air, each would tell a differ-
ent story. It would be like the 01d
fable 0f the three blind nien who-felt
of different parts of an elephant and
then engaged in a controversy as to
what the animal was like.

Quite naturally my time during the

past week was, spent mostly in the.

livestock barns and show
couldn’t help noticing
things that have
previous fairs: First,‘ the large num-
ber of boys and young men caring for
the stock, and second, the heavy pro-

rings. I

gives

take interest and pride and directly

\ and indirectly, tends toward the per-

petuity of. the homestead,"

I overheard an interesting. bit. of

our .. agricultural

two .
impressed me at ,

we're in pens apnos‘ite ours. He said,
“A farmer ought to have a bebby such
as Shropshire sheep or Percheron
horses: If he doesn’t he struggles
along and maybe Just about breaks
even at the end of the year.
a man farming is a menotonous
grind, but if he has pure—breds it gives
him something in Which to take pride
and adds zéSt to farming ”

The Show ring is an arena of heart
throbs. For some it is a scene of
proud triumph; fer- others a place of
keen dlSappointment and disillusion~
ment, where air castles tumble down
and out of the ashes or crushed
hopes, a determination is born to
come back Stronger than over next

' year. ,

' I notice that the. most successful
breeders and showmen are those who
seem to live with and for'theirstock
and who have learned and practice the
old adage supposed to have been ut—
teied by Michael Angelo, "Trifles
make perfection and peifection is no
trifle.”

’ Bulls Before Folks

No one can long doubt the sincerity
and deep interest of the showmen in
their stock. One young herdsman was
asked by a passerby if water from a
certain faucet was fit to drink. The
bOy replied, “It ought to be good
enough‘for folks, my bulls drink it.”

The owners, he'rdsmen' and flock
masters not only know intimately the
animals which they are exhibiting,
but most of them can tell you about
their ancestors and all the branches
of the family tree. Just stop and ad-
mire one of their animals a moment
and they will start rattling off long
names of four or more words, telling
you their line of breeding. When this
happens to me I try to look interested,
utter an exclamation intended to por-
tray appreciation,‘ and then make
some SUCh' remark as, “Well then, no
wonder ,he is such a good one.”

The horse pulling contests proved
big attractions at the 101113. Free Fair.
The man who sat beside me during:
the thrilling moments while the heavy
teams were pulling, said, “I’d rather

'see this than a dozen auto races.
This is real sport”.

They’re all'noise.
Certainly until human nature changes,

it will experience” more 'tense excite.

ment and keen‘genjoyment in watch-
ing the effortsof flesh and blood than
in observing a contest between mech-
anical contrivances.

In my own mind I couldn’t help
making a few comparisons between
the 1927 fair and those of fifteen or
twenty years ago. Then folks usually
came for all day. They had to pay to
get. in and wanted to see their money’s
worth. Then too, many of them came
by, horse and buggy so that the trip
Was long and tedious. Family parties
and basket picnics were the rule. Now
we find many people coming down for
just. apart of the day and many of
them go home for their meals.

The age of rapid change in which
we are living is profoundly modifying
practices and will
probably continue to do so for many
years to come. The fair is one of
several inStitutions which will help us
to keep pace with these rapidly
changing conditions. The farmer who
goes to a good fair in the right Spirit
and With Wholesomely serious nio-
tives will find it not’ only a place of
amusement and 'recreatiOn, but a
source of new ideas and ideals and of
greater enthusiasm for the everyday
tasks back on the old home farm.

' “Now tubbiness is just the thing
Which gets a fellow wondering!”
-—A. A. Milne.

ET Mary Garden, picturesque
L artist that she is, hate fat peo-
' - ple! She is not infallible. Glut-
tony is detestable, but is not always
a conscious cause of obesity. Indeed,
with the busy mother, anxious to pro-

'vide plenty of nourishing dishes for
her family, yet anticipating meal time
as a large part of her limited daily
pleasures, the problem of added
weight is a combination of inheritance,
actual self-forgetfulness, and a healthy,
normal relish of good food.

Cut Your Calories“

Still, no one cherishes obesity! But
to diet at the groaning board that a
hearty family demands, requires de-
termination, and likewise a. bit of un-
de; standing of those fatal fattening
elements infoods. Even so, there is
no rosy, no rapid road to weight re-
duction. Authorities agree that the
only way to reduce safely is to “cut
your calories” to about one thousand
instead of twenty-four hundred a day,
and lose weight gradually. Also, that

 

 

“Plan for more than you can do,
Then do it;

Bite off more than you can chew,
Then chew it;

Hitch your wagon to a star,

Keep your seat and there you are,
Go to it!"

 

since during dieting we are living part-
ly on body or animal tissue, we must
not fail to include in our diet in ‘goodiy
proportion the alkaline yielding foods,
such as fruit, milk and vegetables to
offset the acid produced by the over-
balancing nitrogenous elements.

Mother must diet on a suitable ra-
tion; she cannot afford to be ill!! But
usually she hasn’t time to prepare for
herself, separate tempting, seemingly-
satisfying dishes. She cannot sit down,
faint and weary, to a dainty meal of
clam cocktail, jellied tongue and veg-
etables, gluten bread and pineapple
ice, while the howling family flourishes
on baked ham, candied sweet potatoes,
buttered asparagus, lettuce and egg
salad, hot rolls, topped off with date
pudding! No, if she prepared such a
feast, she’d have to eat it, or starve!
Happily, she doesn’t need to eat every
dish offered.

Indeed, if she exercises her judg-
ment she mightomit the ham, replac-
ing it with two glasses of skim-milk
which is very filling and not at all fat-
tening, in fact, is a life saver to the
one who is determined to reduce.
Candied sweet potatoes run high in
calories and must be bravely refused,
but a substantial serving of asparagus,
and no end of lettuce and egg salad
may be eaten, provided a salad dress-
ing of lemon juice, mustard and salt
is used in place of mayonnaise or boil-
ed dressing. Bran bread or a few
., wafers may be consumed with im-
' punity!

, Menus Easily Adjusted.
A similar adjustment may be made

Rolling the Jelly Roll

Y first attempts to roll a jelly

roll made veal sport for the

family. It cracked at the edges
and looked like a dilapidated layer
cake, with sticky jelly oozing forth.
Then I discovered that sponge cake
batter always rises higher than I ex-
pect, and must be poured as thin as
possible to cover the pan. Not only
must it be thin, the cake must still
be warm, and have its edges trimmed
off. The crust must be very tender,
not brown and crisp. I have better
success if I line the pan with paper
lightly greased. ‘

A slightly dampened cloth is rolled

about the jelly roll, and left there until
it is cool and firm. A tart jelly tastes
better than sweet, and we like confec-
tioner’s sugar sprinkled over the fin-

KIDDIES’ GAMES TI-jAT ARE A BIT
' DIEFERE NT.

  

SUSPEND three lightslialliflor balls

made by stuffing- the toe of a
stocking with cotton and tying it firm—
ly), in an open doorway, herring them
about six inches from each other, and
the one in the centei a little larger, if
possible, than the other two.

Divide the players into teams of two
each, and Let the teams follow each
other at. play, one player standing on
‘either Side of the door, at a distance
to be decided upon at the beginning
of the game. _Each team should have
a small bean bag. The first player
throws through the doorway to his
partner on the other side, who must
catch the bag and throw it back. As
soon as the ‘bag strikes one of the
balls, or falls to the floor, that team
gives way to the next one.

The game is to see which team can
pass the bag through the door the
largest number of times.

‘ TINGS.

 

I have a‘ “slip" of a rose gerani
plant which I keep in a tumblerugi'
water, together with a; small amount
of common soil. For some reason it
does not take root. The “slip”had two
buds on it whi iph blossomed. Was the
plant the old, or what is Wrong with
my igethod of trying to make it grow?

The {best method in rooting cuttings I

is to place them in clean, sharp sand,
without any soil in the medium. Shade
for several days, and water sufliciently
to keep the cutting from wilting. The
foliage should be reduced so that only
one or two leaves are left at the top.
Rooting will take place in two weeks.

Plants such as coleus‘, wandering-
Jew, and a few others that root very
readily". may be tried in water, but or-
dinarily- Such a method is not tobe
advocated. —-Alex. Laurie.

,it. Then one said,

r AVID falls into the worst sin of

3 big life. " The stern and true

. . words of James ring in our ears:
“Int no man saywhen he is tempted,
I am tempted of God: for God cannot
‘ be tempted with evil, neither tempteth
He any man: but every man is tempt-
edgwhen he is drawn away of his own
lust, , and enticed. Then when lust
hath conceived, it" bringeth forth sin:
and sin, when it is finished, bringeth
forth death.” A falling in love with
another man’s wife, adultery, and mur-
der. One crime follows another, to
cover up the first crime.

When it was over, a man appears
on the scene. Isn’t it good to see old
Nathan coming into the king's pres-
ence, unafraid, facing him with his
’ bloody deed? It
is always hearten-
ing to see a man
in a manly- act.
Self-interest, cow-

“ardice, p o l i c y,
vanish away like
u g l y skeletons,

and out there
steps a man, to
do his duty. Once,
in the old coven-
aut‘er days in Scotland, a "band of the
king’s soldiers caught a lad and tried
to make him tell where his father
Was. The little fellow would not do
"We’ll throw you
over the cliff, and it’s deep, and the
wolves will get you.” “Ay,” said the
lad, “It’s deep, but it’s not as deep as
hell.” When Hamlet was discoursing
to his mother about his father, he re-
minded the faithless queen that the
dead king was “a combination and a
form indeed, where every god did seem
to set his seal, to give the world as—
surance of a man.” We do not need
any further assurance that Nathan
was a man, than what happened when
he went in to see the guilty David.
“Thou art the man,” cried the old
prophet, and David wilted.

God forgave David for what he had
done. “Thou shalt not die,” said
Nathan. But there are some things
as bad as death, and worse. David
did not die. He lived to old age. God,
forgave him his blood-red sin. But
the social and moral consequences of
that sin went on as long as David
lived, broke his heart, made his old
age a nightmare, and continued after
he was dead. People sometimes get
the notion that it is easy to get the
forgiveness of God, and it is. When
Jesus told the story of the prodigal
son, He meant every word of it. But
the consequences of our sin may go on
after we are gone, and for that rea-
son we should do all in our power to
make right any wrong act.

0n reading First Samuel carefully,
one observes that from this time Dav-
id was never as active, alert, strong,
after this deed as he had been before.
From that time he began a gradual
descent. It is evident that he had lost
something out of his life. Next, his
children bore the stain of what had
taken place. One of David’s daugh-
ters was Tamar, a young woman of
beauty and charm. She fell a victim
to the lust and cruelty of a half-broth-
er. He had the example of his father
before him, hence, why should he not
do something similar? . Like father,
like son. So the seeds we sow, sprout.

But we are not done yet, and neither
was David. The years pass, and a giant

 

" conspiracy is worked up almost under

his eyes, and which nearly loses him
the throne. And the plot is not schem-
ed by an outsider, ambitious for the
throne, but by his favorite son, Absa-
l-Om. The old king must .up and flee
for his life, and only the military strat-
egy of Joab saves the day. But Absa-

" lom is dead, and the old father returns

to the my. moani
had died forthee,

“Would Godf I
Absalom, my son,

 

my son.” Then in a few years Sibl-
ombn comes to the throne, and begins
with a series of murders, the first be-
ing that of his. brother. Adonijah.
Then come the years in which Sol—
omon's magnificence grows, and also
the taxes grow, until the people begin
to ask, how long is this going to Can-
tinu‘e? David had indulged a good
many ines, and why should not his
son have more?
arises, economic impoverishment.
When Solomon dies, his son has less
sense than any king ought to have, and
the kingdom is broken in two, never
to be reunited. Strife follows, war
between Israel on the north, Judah on
the south, national decay, exile at last,‘
and the loss of Hebrew national unity.
Now, I would not want to say that
all this sprang from David’s _ great
crime. But the events which followed
that crime did in no small degree, and
the crime only showed in a more lurid
way, many other things that were go-
ing on all the time. The final conse«
quences ofone sin may be terrific.
Pollution of water may be carried to
people who. live a long way off, and
who do not know anything of it, until
typhoid breaks out. Keep the small
sins out, and the big ones will be shut
out. If one is interested in this sub‘
ject, he should read Tolstoy’s power-

Stories From Bugville
T be Click Beet/er Trz'c/é‘

WO little Click Beetles lived in

an old stump out in the meadow.

They had a black and brownish
coat and were about an inch long.
Their little bug friends called one
Click and the other one Clack. Click
and Clack were given these queer
names because of the “click-clack”
noise they could make.

If Click Beetles are caught or if
they want to play pranks on their
bug friends, they lie very still on
their backs as it dead. Then very
suddenly they surprise you,by giving
a sharp click as they spring up into
the air. Most always they come down

 

Lady Bug was very frightened and
flew away

on their feet and run away before
anyone can catch them.
On this particular day, Click and

Clack were resting in the cool shade
of some fungus that grew on the
stump where they lived. Click peeked
out and spied Lady Bug coming right
that way. Lady Bug was hurrying
home to her family of little Lady
Bugs and was looking neither to the
right nor to the left. .

“Let’s play a joke on Lady Bug,”
said Click. “We’ll hide here and
when she comes along we will both
click just as loud as we can.”

Clack agreed to Click’s scheme and
so when Lady Bug came hurrying
by both Click and Clack clicked as
loud as they could.

Lady Bug was very frightened and
\fiew in the opposite direction as fast
as her orange and black wings would

carry her.
“Tee, Hee-ee,” giggled Click and
Clack They thought it a very fine

inks to frighten Lady Bug so. But
heyx' didn’t know that someone was
watching their little scheme. Billy
Bumble Bee was sippingnectar from

a daisy nearby and saw all that had
happened.

“You naughty Click Beetles, we’ll
see how you like your joke when it
is turned on you,” said Billy Bumble
Bee to himself.

So he tiptocd up very quietly to
where Click and Clack were chuckling
in the shade of the fungus that grew
on the stump. When Billy Bumble
Bee was very close behind them, he
said, “Buzz-zz-zz” just as loud as he
could. ‘

Click and Clack were very much
frightened just as Lady Bug had been.
They never even stopped to look
around to see what the noise was but
took to their heels as fast as they
could go. And after that Click and
Clack never played such a trick again.

.MHow‘the M. C. Has Helped

~ Some Personal Opinion:

HE greatest of the many ser-
vices which the M. C. is render-
ing boys and/girls of Michigan
is to bring them together into one mu-
tual friendship through “Our Page.”
Because of it, we all know something
of the younger s'et of the distant com-
»munities, and there is now a great
binding network of correspondence be-
tween thousands of M. C.’s. The indi-
vidual can take part in the activities
and be rewarded by seeing his name
and article in print, and also by the
dandy prizes which are so obligingly
sent out. -

When so many boys and girls write
their views and carry on their debates,
it is very heartening to see the good
taste they have in choosing subjects,
and the good sense they show in argu-

 

Evelyn Kniebes and Her Pet, Both
Look Good.

ing them. The M. C.’s reading these
subjects and discussions in Our Page,
see the work others are doing, and,
consequently set their goal to higher
ideals.

Another thing is its educational val-
ue. The M. C. working hard on the

farm, perhaps no longer going to
school, must do something to keep his
faculties in order and his imagination
keen. Working the soil hardens the
hands, and writing becomes difficult
and tedious. To take part in the M.»
C. activities helps a great deal to keep
him in practice. .

I am sure that the others will agree
with me that the M.'C. is a great help
to us in many ways.—Menno Martin.

 

The Merry Circle has benefited me
in the following ways:

1. It has helped me to become more
interested in my work, and especially
my writing and spelling. ‘

2. I have made several friends
through the Merry Circle and have
heard some very good arguments.

3. I have won some dandy presents
from answering the contests. Also, I
have been benefited in the work it
takes to solve the different problems
in our contests.

4. It has given me main points of
life. Telling the most important to
strive for, especially education.

5. It has, also, helped me by having
the “read-and-win” contests. As a per-
son is searching for the answers he
discovers something which interests
him, and he would not have found it
if it hadn’t been for the Merry Circle.

6. It also helps a person to think
heartfully. It certainly makes a per-
son feel as though they are doing
someone some 00d when they can
send their small change to help buy a
radio for the sick children.

7. It makes me work harder to
make myself of some use; do some
great or kindly deed in order to tell
the other‘ M. C.’s. When a person en-
ters a contest he works hard in order
to win, so he can become an M. C., if
they are not'already one, and also
win other beautiful presents.

8. It has benefited me to know our
Uncle Frank—Marguerite Turner.

Dear Uncle Frank: '

Say, Uncle Frank, I’m just gomg_ to
say a bit about these arguments goxng
on in the Merry Circle. First, no one
in his right mind would say drinking
intoxicating drinks and using tobacco
are not harmful to one’s body. Next,
I’m certainly afraid that, as long as
cosmetics are made, women and men
will use them. So all you folks who
are against it will have to fight it out
with the manufacturer. Just another
Merry Circler, “Pat.”

Amen to your first comment. And
as to your second—manufacturers will
cOntinue to make cosmetics as long as
people want them, and that will be
always, as human vanity will 'never

- cease. . .

Dear Uncle Frankz- ~

I would like to tell of my last sum-
mer’s trip to .Yellowstone Park, if you
care to listen. After getting our hay-
ing done early, we loaded our camp
equipment and started early one morn-
ing. We went through Michigan,
across the straits, through the~mining
district and across Wisconsin, Min-
nesota, North Dakota, Montana and
into the park. The scenery there is
certainly wonderful, with mountains,
geysers and terraces. I enjoyed watch-
ing the bears feed on garbage from
the hotels. The black bears come first
to feed, but when they see a grizzly
come they certainly waste no time
getting away, even if they have to go
through a crowd of spectators. While
driving along, one bear stood along-
side the road, and when we stopped
he stood alongside the car and begged
for candy, so we gave him some. From
the park we went to Cheyenne to see
the Frontier Days. The cowboys sure
could rope and bulldog cattle, and the
bronchos they rode bucked fierce. One
man was knocked unconscious trying
to bulldog a steer, and another was
almost killed when thrown from a
horse. “

We then went to Colorado and
climbed Pike’s Peak with our car. I
admit I was light-headed up there. We
then went through the Kansas and
Nebraska wheat fields, which were so
dry the wheat was only a few inches
high but headed out, and there was
nothing but dust. From there we went
through the Iowa cornfields and clay
roads. The roads were so slippery,
and- ruts so deep, it was almost im-
passable. When at last we arrived

Two Farewell Letters
From Boy: W /20 Have Rear/zed #13 Age ofiEzg/zz‘een

MY FAREWELL SONG.

 

This World is a funny thing,
Of course, it’s how we take it,
Some people cry, while others sing,
This world is what we make it.

The old folks die, the young will come“

Along and take their places.
We meet our doom with sword or gun,
With tears and glaring faces.

There is a goal we wish to win,
By truth—«but falsehood never,

A goal that’s reached without a sin,
If in lightness We all sever.

There’s nothing more for us to do,
But try our best to find——

The best of friends—who are always

true,
And who are always kind.

Real friends I now possess, .
ThrOugh this Circle true, ‘ '

Respect, dearvUncle, I now confess,
Is what we owe to you.

But I am eighteen now, you see,
Some prizes I have won,

Of course, the friends are more to me,
But in this race, I run.

,But as this is my farewell song,
I’ll make this not so clever,

By making it extremely long,
But by a. strong endeavor:

Please all remember, he remote,
And help poor Uncle Frank, .
To keep the Circle, “All Afloat,”
Than to have it said, .“It Sank.” _

Adventures. of the Brown
Family—By 10/272 Francis Cay:

Beth Attends a

ARNED by Jack Miller that
W“Slippery Sam” Jacks, an old

enemy of Henry Brown, had
been seen prowling around the pas-
ture, Jack and Beth discovered that
Brown Bob the prize colt had disap~
pearéd. Hal charges that Jack Miller
is responsible, but Beth defends her
friend.

“It does seem mighty strange,”
Father Brown asserted, as he mopped
his brow,” that Jack Miller always
seems to know a lot and to tell little.
Son, I’m beginning to believe as you
do.”

“I’m going to the sheriff for a war-

rant to search the Miller house and‘

their barns,” cried Hal. “He pulled
the wool over our eyes in taking-us
to an empty cave. He may have
Black Neb and the treasure concealed
there, and Brown Rob hid away.”

1 “You’ll do nothing of the kind,” de«
fled Beth. “Shame on you Dad. You
are allowing Hal to prejudice you.
Jack is our friend. He just assured
me that he still is anxious to help us
and came to tell me that he had seen
‘Slippery Sam’ and was afraid he
might steal Brown Rob.”

“That’s enough from you, daugh-
ter.” announced Henry Brown with un-
wonted severity. “I have been very
patient with Jack Miller. I don’t want
him on this farm, and you are to have
nothing whatever to do with him. Do
you hear me?”

Beth nodded her head and with tear-
filled eyes went off to the house, while
Hal and his father took up the hunt
for (lid Moll’s colt. "In one corner of
the woods pasture they found where
the wire had been cut, and trampled
earth and the marks of small feet
showed how the colt had fought to
get away from his captor. “I don’t
like to ask neighbors to help hunt a
colt,” said Father Brown, “but there’s
no question but that Brown Rob is
stolen. Telephone Big Judd, Hal, and
offer a $50 reward. Notify the sheriff
regarding the reward also. If ‘Slip-
pery Sam’ has got the colt he’ll sell
him to some horseman for a .long
price.- 011, why didn’t" we keep Rob
near the house.” .

sponsible for the' loss of the colt, Hen-
ry Brown was impatient to press on.
But Big Judd insisted that they pro-
ceed slowly, following the trail of their
quarry. “He’ll be right hyar in these
woods,” said Big Judd, “a—waitin’ for
nightfall. He’s got- a hideout some-
whar not far away.”

Unlike the soft bare feet of Little
Joe when he had disappeared, leaving
no trace, the feet of Brown Rob had
made sharp imprints in the ground
and Big Judd followed the trail like
an unerring hound. Deep into ,the
woods the little party penetrated until
finally Big Judd halted them at the
top of a hill. “Down thar is an old
cabin,” he whispered. “Nobody lived
that‘ for years an’ I’ll bet that’s the
thief’s hangout. Quiet and keerful
now. Let’s nab him.” . .

TEALTHILY Big Judd, with Hal

close behind crept forWard, and as
they came to a clearing the shrill
whinny of a colt reached them. “Rob,”
whispered Henry Brown, his eyes
glowing with relief. Angry voices
came to them and as they neared the
cabin a man plunged from the door
and started to run away.

. “Boom!” Big Judd’s heavy rifle
crashed like a cannon, and a bullet
plowed the dirt in front of the runner.
“Come back hyar,” bellowed the
woodsman. As the man slowed, stop-
ped and turned toward them, who
should come through the cabin door
but Jack Miller.

“Hands up.” called Hal, as be men-
aced his former friend with a gun.
“You’ll have a little explaining to do,
young man. Why are you here with
‘Slippery Sam’?”

“Easy ef you use your eyes, young

INVESTIGATION OF LIVE
STOCK, MARKETING.

KSKS

 

RESOLUTION was adopted at a.

conference held in" Kansas City
on the subject of direct marketing of\
live stock and the general problem of
distributing this product, in which the
secretary of agriculture was asked to
conduct an immediate, thorough, and
fair investigation of the question of
marketing live stock in all its phases,
and to lay the results before the next
sesSion of congress. The basis of this

resolution is the fear that the devel--
opment of direct marketing between
‘producers and packers will break down
the present, competitive open markets
are established,

where prices and

county, and much credit is due him,

for the pleasant time spent there.
The longest drive of .the tour was
from Edwin Webb’s farm to the farm
of, L. Whitney Watkins, former com-
missioner“ of agriculture of Michigan,
which farm is south and west of Man-
ches'ter, but it was well worth while,
as everyone who enjoyed the fine hos-
pitality of Mr. and Mrs. Watkins Will
testify. ~This 1,600-acre farm has al-
ways been in the‘ Watkins family, and
about 270 acres have been left in their
original condition and now form a,
state park. Mr. Watkins has about
125 head” of registered Herefords, and
takes a keen interest in the develop-
ment of the herd. His herd sire,’

HEREFORD BREEDERS MAKE.
ANNUAL TOUR.

HE Michigan Hereford Breeders’
Association held their annual tour,

Wednesday, August ‘3, through Gen-
essee, Livingston and Washtenaw
counties. The tour, for which arrange-

ments were made by James R. Camp-
bell, county agent of Genesee county,-
;Wa.s very successful, and the visiting
breeders were much impressed by the
high quality of the smaller herds in
Livingston county. The guests along
the way did everything possible to
add to the pleasure of their guests,
and like all the previous tours, this
was voted the “best yet.”

The farm of C. L. Lahring, south and
east of Gaines, was the starting point,
and everyone was there promptly at
eighty-thirty o’clock, although this nec-
essitated some starting at five o’clock
in the morning. Mr. Lahring has
about twenty-five registered cows in>
his herd, and had a fine crop of calves.
A nice load of yearlings are also on
feed.‘ ,

In Livingston county the farms of
F. W. Chase, Mr. Bainbridge, W. W‘il-
kinson, Wm. Schad, and Edwin Webb,
were visited. None of these herds are
very large, but each one had animals
of high quality, showing good breeding .
and care. Wm. Schad is a. new mem-
ber in the Hereford ranks, ’a. large por-
tion of his herd consisting of cattle
bought from J. S. Parshall, of Oak
Grove.

A stop was made in Howell for din-
ner, where the group was met by a.
committee from the Rotary Club of
that city, who preSented flowers to the
ladies and cigars to the men._ This
was a. pleasant incident of the dayy

“Sheet Anchor,” is well known in
Michigan as being one of the best in-
dividuals from the herd of former
Governor Warren T. McCray, of Indi-
ana. After inspecting the herd, the
tired and hungry tourists were served
with refreshments in
grove back of 'the family home.

The majority of the tourists drove
to Lansing and attended Farmers’
Day at the Michigan State College on
Thursday. Among those making the
trip were Earl McCarty, farm agent‘for

St. Clair county; Harold Harwood,~of .

Ionia, president of the association;
Daniel C. Miller, of Swartz Creek, sec-
retary—treasurer of the association;
James R. Campbell, farm agent' for
Genesee county; W. E. J. Edwards, of
the Michigan State College, and C. L.
Lahring, of Gaines.

MILK MARKETING IN THE EAST.

HE milk-consuming public is not
yet very well acquainted with
what is known as the Unity ,Milk Mare
keti‘ng Plan, even in the east—where

it came into existence; but from pres-'

ent indications, we are to know more
about this latest effort on the part of
dairymen to establish for themselves
a. better way of selling their product
profitably. This association is now
fully prepared to do business, and, in
fact, has begun“ tb operate in the New
York field '

The Unity Marketing Association
thoroughly believes that the produc-
ers have a right to name the price at
which their pY‘oduct shall be sold, and
it proposes that this shall be done on
a basis of cost and a reasonable profit.
It, therefore, proposes to sell milk on
the twoprice plan, sbendOning the'ex-
pensive method of blending of pro,
ceeds and making settlement with the

‘ *the following manner:

the pleasant

   

mimfii‘w

. ducer’s establish their fl 1! quotaior 9*

the year, Which we recommend to sell _
at the same running price through the ‘

entire year, and all over-production "

during the balance of the your to be ‘

paid for 9.5“ per the average price or
'the lower classes.”

Proceeds shall be disposed of. after
First, the base
production to. be paid for at the fluid
price. Scoond, the over-production to
be psid for at the average price of
the lower classes. In a. concise state-
ment, Mr. Truinlanlbole, president of
the Unity Association puts the matter
thus; “The producer sells to the deal-
ers and the dealers Sell to “the con-
Burner, so in our plan for the stabili-
Zation of the markets supplied by the
New York milk shed, to the end that
the producer and the dealer will re-
ceive an adequate return and that. the
consumer will be protected with an
ample supply of satisfactory. milk at a.
fair price.”

.Units of this new association are
being organized throughout the terri-
tory known as the New York milk
shed, one of the latest being that made-
up of the producers who furnish milk
for the city of Binghamton, New York.
Just to what extent the Unity will
cooperate with the Sheffield Farms
Company and the Dairymen’s‘ League.
Cooperative Association, remains to
be ascertained by future developments.
The expression just now quoted from
Mr. Cole, “an adequate supply of sat—
isfactory milk,LL furnished to the con-
sumer, has much significance in view:
of the fact that all through the eastern
territory the campaign of tuberculin
testing of cows is progressing rapidly;
A good many townships have finished
up testing, so that all cows owned in
them have been pronounced free from
taint of tuberculbsis. In many other
townships the work 'is far advanced,
the work of re-testing being. pressed
as rapidly as possible. It is note-
worthy that in a majority of cases the
final test shows very few ”reactors,
proving that the work was thoroughly
carried on in the first instance.

As both the Shefllelds Farms and
the Dairymen"s League are doing busi-
mess on the same purity. of milk basis
as is the Unity, it will 'be seen that
the consumers of this grest center of
population is air the present time as-
sured of a. sanitary supply of milk.
Naturally this has a tendency to re-
assure the people in using more milk
as an articleof food. The' per capita
c-onsumption‘of milk is constantly in-
crossing and is bound to grow as peo-
ple learn the value of milk and its *
derivatives as food products. No ap-
prehension now exists that New York-
City will not at all times have all the
milk it needs at a reasonable price.

BEAN PODS vs. CLOVER HAY.

What is the‘ difference in the feed-
ing value of bean pods and clover hay
for dairy cows ?—G. F.

, Clover hay contains 7.1 per cent of
digestible protein, 37.8 per cent' of car-
bohydrates, and 1.8‘ per cent fat, while
bean pods contain only 3.6 per cent
protein, 39.7 per cent carbohydrates,
and practiCallyno fat. This analysis
would seem to show that clover hay,

~ton for ton, is worth twice as much as ,

a. food so far as protein is concerned,
and protein is the limiting factor in'
any ration. In actual feeding it~ is
doubtful if results as good as this in-
dicated by the analysis can be obtain-
ed, because it is almOSt impossible to
secure bean pods in as 'good condition
as clover hay.

POULTRY IMPROVEMENT ASSOCI—
ATION ELECTS OFFICERS.

FFICERS of the Michigan Poultry
- Improvement Association were
L. E. Heasley, of
Grand Rapids, president; L. ‘Van Ap-
pledorn, of Holland, vice-president; J.
A. Hannah, of Michigan State College,
secretary-treasurer.

In the past the entire board has

been elected each year, but under the
new plan, half of the board members
are to serve two years, and the other
half, one year. In the future this will
mean that only one-half of the mem-
bers will leave the board in any one
year, leaving the others with experi-
ence to carry on the work of the as-
sociation.

The members of the new board are
well distributed over the state, and
consist of the following directors: W.
A. Downs, of’ Romeo, and L. Van Ap-
pledorn, of Holland, hatchery group;
E. C. Kilbourn, of Flint, and W. C.
Eckard, of Paw Paw, flock group; C.
N. Whittaker, of Lawrence, and L. E.
Heasley, of Grand Rapids, fanciers’
group; J. A. Hannah, of East Lansing,
and J. P. Garl-ough, of Zeeland, gen-
eral poultry group.

It has become necessary to obtain
a full-time field manager for the asso-
ciation. This work has been carried
on as an extension project by the
Michigan State College, but according
to a recent ruling from Washington,
no man receiving Smith-Lever funds
shall act as secretary or treasurer or
manager of a service organization.
The new manager will be nominated
by the college poultry department and
hired by the board of directors of the
association.

RECORD OF PERFORMANCE
MEETING.

 

T the recent meeting of the Rec-

ord of Performance Association at
the State College, officers were elected
as follows: C. N. Whittaker, presi-
dent; W. C. Eckard, vice-president;
W. A. Downs, secretary-treasurer.

J. A. Hanaah discussed the R. O. P.
work in Canada as it will apply to the
work in Michigan during the coming
year. It is planned to conduct this
work on a high standard, with some
improvements over the methods used

COLONY HOUSE ROOSTS.

Please send me instructions as to
how to put perches in our 10x12-foot
brooder house. We have between 300
and 400 chicks. This is our first year.
and, as we are quite uncertain how to
proceed, we felt sure of your help.
—Mrs. F

Roosts of two by two material make
good perches for colony brooder hous-
es. The upper edges can be planed
to make them slightly rounded, like
poles. Nail two pieces of lumber from
the two by fours at the back of the
colony house so they will project with-
in a foot of the windows. Any pieces
of scrap lumber can be used for front
legs to support these pieces.

That makes a scaffold about two
feet from the floor on-which the roosts
can be nailed. The roosts can be
placed about one and one-half feet
apart from a point two feet in front
of the windows to a point about one
foot back from the wall. A brooder
house ten. feet deep will comfortably
hold about six perches. They can ex-
tend the entire length of the house.

Sometimes roosts are built 'on
frames hinged to the side walls of the
_colony,_ house. They are lgwered to
extend from the. wall to the floor, and

o

 

"make .a solid line of roosts all around

the house. As soon as the young
chicks are about feathered they will
gradually work upon these roosting
frames at night and it prevents crowd-
ing in the corners of the houses. By
addressing the Michigan State College
Poultry Department, East Lansing,
Michigan, you can obtain a good bul-
letin describing the roosting frames.
Any roosts suitable for laying hens
are all right for the colony house pul-
let flocks.

A RECORD LEGHORN.

SINGLE Comb White Leghorn

called Lad-y Lindy, owned by a
farmer in Gentry, Arkansas, shattered
the world’s egg-laying record by lay-
ing 149 eggs, in an equal number
of consecutive days. The former rec-
ord was 141 eggs in as many consecu-
tive days. The hen is one of a pen of
five entered in a laying contest con‘
ducted by the Arkansas Experiment
Station.
~HEASLEY DISCUSSES ASSOCIA-

TION WORK.

DR. L. E. HEASLEY, president of

the Michigan Poultry Improve-
ment Association, reports that the as-
sociation accomplished considerable
useful work during the last year. Due
to the help of the organization, the
poultry thieving bill was passed by
the legislathre last winter. This bill
was opposed by people who have made
a regular business of thieving and
trucking poultry into the large mar-
ket centers.

While the State College did not re-
ceive the appropriations which the
poultrymen desired, they did obtain
$50,000 to be expended next year. The
educational work which was done to
obtain that amount may be helpful in
the future. More work must be done
in the study of such diseases as range
paralysis, coccidiosis and white diarr-
hoea. More feeding experiments are
needed to obtain additional poultry in-
formation that can be applied later in
a practical way on the farms of the
state. Such' experimental work is ex-
pensive and can only be done by the
state.

The purpose of the Michigan Im-
provement Association has been to
raise the general level of the quality
of chicks sold. Michigan breeders
have many pens entered in laying con-
tests all over the country. Michigan
has the opportunity of becoming
known as a state of poultry breeders,
and it need not be necessary for poul-
trymen wishing high quality seed stock
to go to Canada or the Pacific coast to
obtain their birds.

LAYING HOUSE FOR WINTER EGGS

 

(Continued from page 167)

It is also advisable to carry the
side wall of cement six inches or more
above the floor level, as this makes
for sanitation, complete rat-proofing,
and easy cleaning.

In laying the side walls, bolts should
be set in the cement so that the wood-
en sills may be bolted in place. This
practice, often neglected, is of consid-
erable value in case a Windstorm
comes along.

For the side wall and roof construc-
tion, either ship-lap or matched lum-
ber will be best, and although it costs
a little more will make a much more
solid job.

The outside walls may be covered
with slate-surfaced [felt roofing, and
if this is properly applied, and held
down with battens, it gives a weath«
er—propf and wind-proof covering which
will last many years.

spring wheat bran at $36; standard
middlings at $44; fancy middlings at

WHEAT.

The advance in wheat prices caused
by frost in Canada and rust damage
over the spring wheat belt has been
followed by a moderate setback. Ex-
port trade failed to develop sustained
breadth, and primary receipts re-
mained large even- for this season of
the year. Wheat pricesare not likely
to drop much under the present level,
unless the southern hemisphere crop
news should turn highly favorable.
Northern hemisphere production prob-
ably will fall short of last year. With
the decline in Argentine and Austra-
lian crops indicated by present pros-
pects, world production willldecrease
enough 'to offset the increased carry-
over. Receipts of spring wheat prob-
ably will increase to a peak around

_ mid-September, and the Canadian
movement will be encountered a little
later. But, there is a large potential
demand from flour buyers and for-
eigners. According to the federal de-
partment of agriculture farmers in-
tend to plant 13.7 per cent more
wheat than last year. Receipts of
wheat at primary markets have fallen
of moderately from the peak of the
movement at the end of July, but they
are not far from the largest on record
at the corresponding date.

RYE.

Rye prices have been fluctuating
with wheat. The visible supply de-
creased in the last two weeks. Ex-
port sales are small. Production is
larger than last year in Canada‘as
well as in the United States. Semi-
ofilcial reports indicate that the Euro-
pean,crop will not be larger than last
year. Farmers intend to plant 20 per
cent more rye than last year accord-
ing to reports to the United States

partment of Agriculture. This

, would mean the second largest wheat
acreage on record if the intentions are

carried out. Most of the increase is in
gansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and
. exas.

CORN. .

Continuation of cool weather pre-

-‘ ,.yents normal progress of the corn

‘erop and» the area that is likely to be
caught by 'trost appears to be in-
‘esing instead of diminishing. With

’issourl. the outlook west of the
Mississippi River is considerably bet-

exception of easternfllowa and.

ter than east of that line. The Da-
kotas, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado,
Oklahoma, Texas, and some of the
southeastern and extreme northwest-
ern states will have a larger crop than
last year and more than a five-year
average yield. These sections usually
do not sell much corn into commercial
channels, but may h ve some to spare
this year, especia 1y at prevailing
prices. Cash demand for corn has
been rather slow. The main trend of
firices still appears , to be upward.

eavy shipments from Argentine are
rapidly depleting the surplus in that

country.
OATS.

Unfavorable reports on the cats
crop have been numerous recently,
with disappointing threshing returns
in many sections. The recent crop
estimate is likely to be revised down-
ward. Primary receipts are increas-
ing, however, and the new crop move-
-ment may prevent any important fur-
ther rise in prices for a while.

BEANS.

Over quite a large part of the bean
district of Michigan there is too little
rain and in some of these sections the
crop is ripening prematurely, which
will tend to reduce the output of beans
this fall. In but a few sections is
there any likelihood of bumper yields.

FEEDS.

Light production of mill feeds and
an active demand‘ continue to sustain
the feed market. Wheatfeeds are
moving directly into consuming chan-
nels so that there is no accumulation
of stocks in mill hands. Linseed meal
has advanced as a result of damage
to the flax crop. The reduction in the
probable yield of cotton has sent cot-
tonseed meal prices higher.

Carlot prices—Chicago—-Bran,' $29;
standard middlings, $34; flour middl-
ings, $40.50; hominy feed, $35; gluten
feed, $38; old process oil meal, $47;
tankage $65.70.

Detroit—Bran, $36; standard middl-
ings, $43; fine middlings, $46; cracked
gorn, $46; coarse corn meal, $45; chop,

40.

SEEDS.
The timothy seed crop is expected
to be 10 or 15 per cent larger than a
year ago. Prices offered to growers

per 100 pounds. .Somevnew crop White
sweet clover has been marketed ”from
Kansas and Nebraska in the past
week. Weather recently in the south-
west has been unfavorable for saving
sWeet’ clover seed and the final yield
may not be as large as expected a

month ago.
HAY.

Demand—for hay is still limited to
actual current reduirements, but mar-
ket offerings are moderate and prices
are steady. Only a small amount is
going into storage. Poor local pasture

‘, has improved the demand for western

alfalfa. and steadied the market.

Canada, like the United States, is har— 4

vesting a record breaking hay crop
this year. The clover hay crop in
Canada is forecast at 16,648,000 tons
and the alfalfa hay crop at 1,560,000

tons.
POTATOES.

The potato market has retained its
firm tone as supplies continue of mod-
erate site. Shipments from Kansas
and Virginia have fallen off sharply
as compared with a week ago, but
states such as Missouri, Minnesota
and Idaho are increasing their contri-
butions. .Minnesota Early Ohios, U. S.
No. 1, are selling for $1.65 to $1.85 per
100 pounds, sacked, in the Chicago
carlot market.

EGGS.

The fresh egg market has advanced
further under the pinch of ’short sup-
plies of really fancy qualities. Re-
ceipts at the leading distributing mar-
kets are considerably smaller than in
the corresponding period a year ago,
and advices indicate a continued .light
production in the country. Improve-
ment in prices has been chiefly on
fancy eggs, although a strong tone is,
maintained all along the line. Dealers
are inclined to buy ahead of actual
needs in anticipation 'of higher prices
‘a little later. Cool weather and the
short supply of fresh stock haile re-
sulted in a free-use of storage eggs,
so that the excess over a year ago
has been reduced. ’

. . BUTTER.
. The butter market shows surprising
reSistan-ce'to“ factors which usually re-
suit in weakening prices. ~ Production,
while showing. the usual seasonal re~
ductions, continues on a larger scale
than at this time a year ago. More
butter \13 being put away in storage
warehouses than in 1926 and the ex-
cess over last year is. steadily increas-
ing. -More butter hasheen stored so
far this year than ever before, and all
of this must eventually lie-moved into
consumptive channels. Conditions still
are favorable to a liberal production
of butter and as yet there is no oppor-

«tunity to begin distributing storage

stocks. Prices had a. temporary spell
of weakness following the bearish re-
port on storage reserves, but have
more than, recovered theirloss. 92~

OBJECTS FURTHER TO TB TE§T

B have a second communication
from C._ B. Scully, of Almont,
Michigan, on the subject of b0-

vine tuberculosis. Lacking space for
his article, we give below a resume
of its contents.

Mr. Scully writes that he complied
with an order to have his herd ready
for testing on August 1, and when the
tester appeared he was asked to sign
a financial statement before begin-
ning work, but the tester refused to
do this and left for Lansing to confer
with his superiors. vLater a letter
from the Bureau of Animal Industry
advised that inspectors were notre-
quired to give financial statements and
that if cattle were not allowed to be
tested before August 18 the herd
would be placed in quarantine under
the terms of which neither the ani-
mals nor the products therefrom
could ' be moved from the premises
under penalty of law. Mr. Scully’s

attorney advised that he submit his .

herd to the test which h is doing.
"In the meantime,” co tinuas Mr.
Scully, “I wish to say that I still offer
to contribute $100 to a fund with
ninety-nine other persons for the pur-
pose of testing the legality of the
law.” He states that about $1,000 had
been pledged by August 9.

He questions the right of super-
visors to appropriate money for-these
campaigns; the credentials of testers;
the source of the serum used; the at-
titude of the Milk Producers Associa-
tion toward the testing as a. means of
reducing production of milk; the com-
municability of the bovine tuberculosis
to humans, and whether all types of
organic tuberculosis affect the milk.
