No timber shortage

di Almost everyone has been

induced to believe that this

country is confronted by an

‘ acute shortage of timber.

I This is not true.



.2 . Infact, Col. William B.

. “’3‘- Greeley, U. S. Forester,

urges the nation to “Use wood, and

conserve the forests.” For timber is a.

crop. It needs to be cut when ripe.

Failure to do so means waste.



There is enough standing timber in

the United States today to build a new

‘six-room house for every family in this

country, Canada, South America, all of





Europe'and the entire British Empire! .





And the additional lumber supplied by

the yearly growth of standing trees would

build a continuous row of these houses

along both sides of a street reaching

from New York to San Francisco.



These are not “opinions”——but facts

backed up by extensive investigations

and published reports of the United

States Forest Service.





Better lumber than ever



Not only plenty of lumber—but better

lumber! Today, American Lumber

Standards, adopted by the industry

. and endorsbd by the U. S. Government,

give the purchaser protection he never

. had before. 4



Universal adoption of reliable stand-

ards has won for the Lumber Industry

high praise from Secretary of Com—-

Later, the F orty-Niners battled their





way over the long cruel trail to Califor- -

On ties of wood the railroads advanced





unceasingly, West, East, North\ and ,

Uses constantly increasing

Twenty years ago therewere less than

2600 commercial and industrial uses for

wood. Today there are more than 4500.

Radio alone uses more lumber than

some states use for buildings. .



From the staunch timbers in. mine

shafts to the buoyant strength of Lind-

bergh’s immortal plane, wood serves

mankind in countless and ever-increas-

ing ways. ‘ . ‘



, Wood endures

The oldest and most beautiful homes

in America are houses built of wood.

Many of them stand today, as sound

in timber and beam, and as livable, as

they were before the Revolution.



Wood endures—and the supply is en-

during. For it is the only one of our

natural resources that grows. The mine

becomes a gaping hole—the forest for-

ever renews.





Wood is beautiful





Wood possesses a pleasing natural beau-

ty of grain and texture that mellows

and deepens with age and defies \imi—

And surely it is significant that the

American architect prefers lumber for

O





ECENT-LY I had an opportunity

to talk with several farmer

families who have central power

As most of those seen

had used the electric power around

two years, I was anxious to know

what they were using it for, what





they considered its greatest value, “

' and how well satisfied they were with





it. There was much satisfaction

in getting. this, information directly.



The uses to which it is being put

varies quite a; good deal among the

different'farms.” Electric lights in the

farm home, barn, poultry and hog

houses, were on practically every

'farm; while most of them used a two

or three way yard light and had scat-

tered lights in other farm buildings.

Practically every home visited used

the electric washing machine, electric

flat iron, electric vacuum sweeper,

and electric water pump, even where

a Windmill was used to take care of

the stock water supply. Several

homes used the electric refrigerator,

churn, incubator, brooder, mangle or

ironer, cream separator, and radio

battery chargers. Only a few had

electriC“ranges or fireless cookers, al-

though anumber expected to put them

in when a satisfactory cooking rate

was arranged. Outside of the, home,

only a few of the farms 'have'made

much use of the electric power. A

few had milking machines, and some

the farmer or poultryman to look

to cull out, the hens which have been.





poor layers. September is a good

month to do this work, and due to

the higher prices of grain and to the

lower prices for eggs,“ it behooves

any stranger or poultry buyer, who

calls himself a culler to do the work.



It is true that in order to be an

expert culler, one must have a knowl-

edge of judging and some experience

with poultry; but every farmer knows

more or less of these factors, and with

a little study on the methods of the

art of culling which I will endeavor

to outline in this article, I am sure

that the farmer can cull his own flock,

and do so with fairly satisfactory re

sults.





A- hen should produce 150 or more.





eggs per year in order to yield a

satisfactory profit to the owner. If

she does so, she has certain laying

characteristics or qualities which des-

ignate her as a good producer. If she

has these qualities she should be re-

tained; if she hasn’t she should be

culled out of the flock and sold. .

First cull out all old hens, hens

lay 15 to 30 per cent higher the first

season, and for this reason are rarely

kept more than 3 years, and most

poultrymen cull out the majority of

them at the end of the second, or

every man and woman I talked with,

when pressed as to what he or she

thought was the most valuable part}

of the electric service, put the electric

lights as of most important. Several

women spoke of its saving in labor

over taking care of kerosene lamps,

and of its convenience in case of sick— ,

ness at night or when running down

cellar for a jar of fruit. The men

appreciated the saving of time, the

lights in the yard and in the barn

made in doing the chores, and in look-

ing after live stock at night. Also they

like good lights when they read or

have friends in. a.



The service rendered by electricity

in these homes after two short years

are but a small part 'of an unknown

list of possible farm uses. For, in-

stance on one farm it was found that

lambs kept in an electrically lighted

stable, after the fashion of lighting

chicken coops for increasing egg pro-

duction, secured a much greater effi-

ciency from the feed used.

ists are drying fruits and nuts far

cheaper with electric heat than with

other dehydrators. Because moths fly

to lights, electricity may prove a help-

ful factor in reducing losses from in-

sect pests. Then, too, we are all

wondering whether we shall awaken

some morning to learn that some gen-

ius has found a practical way to use

this mysterious power for field work.





even at the end of the first year.

Also cull out all extremely small,

light weight, sick, weak and crippled

hens, including those with frozen feet,

crooked backs, weak legs, and badly

twisted backs or deformed toes. Ex.

ceedingly fat hens with baggy abdor

mens should also be excluded.



The above culls, which anyone can

very . easily determine, are readily

picked out as the hens are examined,

but the remainder of the culls must

be more closely scrutinized. The first

factor to look for is the type of head.

A good laying hen has a refined type

of head. Head characters are 'very

important and a trifle difficult to de-

tect for the beginner, but close exam-

ination and study will aid in the se-

lection. The refined type of head car-

ries an intelligent look. It is free

from beefiness and sluggishness, and

yet carries the necessary substance

that some of the culls lack. It is well-

shaped, not being too flat-and long as

the “crow head cull” but shows a. neat

well formed trim appearance. ,



The refined head has a narrow skull,

free from heaviness over the eye. The





Orchard- " '





jaw is narrow and lined with thin

elastic skin. The eye is large, oval

and bright. The distance between the

eye and the beak is moderate and

should be well laid in. All hens show-

ing beefy, heavy heads or crow heads

or masculine heads—like a rooster—1

UCH work can

Plan Corn be saved in the

corn borer campaign

Borer Work if care is used in the

Early distribution of corn

fodder and cobs dur-

ing the fall and winter. Feeding in

a. limited space and far enough from

the faim buildings to burn the rem-

nants, if it is not advisable to gather

and plow down, will save much time

and expense late1.



One farmer fed a. considerable quan-

tity of fodder last year on low

marshy ground. The cattle punched

stalks into the soil and this spring

the ground was too wet to plow, so

it became necessaly to gather the

stubs by hand which was expensive.



Corn split up on the cob for hens

should be fed in a limited area and

prefeiably where the cobs will not get

into the giass, which makes gathe1ing

difficult.



The ideal way is to put the whole

corn plant into the silo. This termin-

ates the further multiplication of all

borers included in corn so handled.

But some farmers do not have silos.

These can save much time next spring

if fodder and cobs are not scattered

over the farm during the fall and win-

ter, and when as much as possible of

the crop handled dry is run through a.

shredder set to tear the stalks into

fine particles.





0R several years

publicity. But in some

It may be a. good time to give doe





credit .to the men in rural sections

who have given their time .freely to

service on these rural school boards.

Their compensation in cash amounts

to very little, and they take many of

the neighborhood woes upon their

shoulders. A wise and careful school

board can do much to avoid friction

in a neighborhood. In- some rural

school districts there are farmers who





have served their boards for twenty,





five years or more. They have seen

their children, and the neighbors’ chil-

dren growup and establish homes

and send another generation into the

same building.



Too often such men receive little

thanks from the district that they

serve. Their Only real compensation

comes in the belief that they have

tried to render some service to their

community. In these days of rapid de-

velopment along all lines, it may not

be out of line 'to remember the useful

place of the 'old rural school, and the

valued service of many of its farmer

board members.

B ea" ered- as they appear

Market to have been for other





marketing seasons? It



is rumored, and the trend of the mar-

ket suggests that these rumors may

have foundation, that a few individ-

uals, including some who should be

standing one hundred per cent firm

for the farmers, are out to force bean

prices below a level justified by the

size and quality of the present crop.

The method usually employed” in

doing this has a few variations from

year to year, but generally it is ac-

complished in the following manner:

Early in the marketing season, some

broker or other large bean operator

sends out quotations to the trade that

are “attractively 10w. Usually this

brings in a. volume of orders and it

forces his competitors to make quota-

tions that will meet his prices. Re-

gardless of the desire (if any person

to support the market, they find

themselves helpless before this com-

petition. This action definitely estab-





lishes top prices for beans, since ,no.





large consumer will be so foolish as to

offer more. Naturally the farmer foots

the bill. '



However, there is a method by

which this practice could be broken

up and the method lies within the

reach of growers. The present would

seem to be an especially favorable

year for growers to try the plan. The

plan would require a. general under-

standing among the mass of bean pro-

ducers that they will not sell beans

when the price sags below a certain

price. The action would need to be

general throughout the bean produc-

ing area of the state. Such an agree-

ment carried out among

would undoubtedly mean millions of

dollars of added income to Michigan

growers ‘for this cash crop. How can

we proceed in the consumation of this

task?

far, the human mind and hand have

not been able to Create—they only aid

in changing the form of things already

created. The gdod farmer Simply feeds

his crops. The poor farmers starve

theirs. That is the whole matter. '



Providing an abundance of available

plant food for the crops is a. basic

farm issue here in Michigan. We may

think it is taxes, or federal legislation,

or better organization of the farm

fraternity. These matters have their

place; but their place is not at the

head of the list of farm problems. The

list is headed by problems of a. more

individual character—fertile soils, the

best seeds, quality live stock.



In these days of specialization when

every person insists on his particular

line, it is difficult to keep one ’s bear-

ings. Important matters are forgotten

and insignificant things are magnified

until all sense of proportion is lost.

Soil fertility, good seed, and quality

breeding stock may be hackneyed

subjects, but the man who unflinch—

ingly keeps them at the top of the list

as his major problems will continue

to conduct his farming on a sound

basis.





HE orchards of





on the country are



A I not heavily ladened

P]? c this year, so there is

Buying no object from that

standpoint in urging



the purchase of apples. But there





are thousands of farmers who do not

grow apples and therefore have few

to eat.





Fruitis one of the essential factors

in a. healthful diet, and there is no

fruit which serves the purpose as well

as apples. So it is for the health and

enjoyment of the appleless farmer

that we make these comments. Few

people realize that seven apples equal

in food energy a pound of steak or a.

dozen of eggs and, at ten cents a.

pound, apples are equal in value to

steak at twenty-five cents a. pound.

They are an economical food, full of

vitamins, good for-both children and

adults. In the purchase of apples,

most folks buy “just apples,” but

there is as much folly in doing so as

in buying “just beef" instead of sir-

loin steak, or rump, roast. For fall

eating there is nothing better than

McIntOSh; the Jonathan is also good.

For eating and cooking most every-

body will be pleased with the Rhode

Island Greening,

until February. The Baldwin is a gen-

eral utility apple in its prime from

January to March. And the Northern

Spy is handy for something extra

special in both eating and cooking

throughout the winter.



A supply of apples laid in this fall

will provide the necessary healthful

fruitvin your daily diet. Your neigh<

bor may have some apples which can

probably be purchased for far less

than city consumers pay for them.

THIS is bein’ written right after the

big. fight, in Chicago and I can’t

think 0’ nothing else. You see we had

ring side seats right by our radio so

we know all about it.



I see by the reports some folkses

went in early and had to sit around

for hours to see the fight. Well, we

had our supper, read and had a good

time listening to radio music until

fight time. Then settin’ in our rock—

ers in the settin‘” room with my shoes

off, we see the fight with our ears

better’n them what paid forty dollars

could see it with

their eyes.



Sofie was dam-

in’ socks and said

she wasn’t inter-

ested in fights—

it is foolishness,

brutal, just fer to

make money out

of fight foolish

people, and etc.

I guess she’s alright on that—I

wouldn’t give two cents to see one.

Sofie says that’s cause two cents

wouldn’t let me in.



But, anyway them darn socks was

in the way when the fight started and

Sofie looked like she was takin’ the

count of nine in the seventh round

insteadof Tunney- And in the nineth

round her eyes looked awful bad.



I was in what you call breathless

suspense for it was awful hard for

me to tell what the fighters was going

to do next and Sofie too. And when

it was all ever she couldn’t help but





 





 





feel awful sorry fer Dempsey, and his -'





family, and friends.

Just imagine the money spent on

two men fightin’. If the farmers had





‘it they wouldn’t need so much rural





credit. Is it the fight folks went to

methods to get rid of them but have

The perennial sow thistle is one of

our worst weed pests. It has an ex-

tensive underground root system

which contains an‘ abundance of food

material and to eradicate the plants,

it is necesary to prevent the growth

of leaves for a sufficient length of

time to exhaust the food material in

the underground root stalk. This us-

ually requires one seasOn of very in-

tensive cultivation and may require

additional care for two or three years.

tion. It is not possible to eradicate

From INGLESIDE FARM—”By Stan/6y Powell 7





 





 





 





I“





“VIEWS l





 





 





HE effect of the dry summer

was c o 11 vi i1 0 ingly illustrated

when we “dug our early potatoes





-. a. little while ago. We had planted one





bushel of some extra fancy Irish Cob-

bler seed that was certified stock ob-

tained from a leading grower in An-

trim County. This seed‘ was treated,

planted on good soil, cultivated, hoed

and sprayed“ but when we dug the

hills produced by this bushel of seed





‘ we were rewarded by only a scant two





bushels of tubers. I doubt if I could

sort out from them one bushel of as

good potatoes as those we planted last

spring. If our late crop doesn’t turn

out any better, we won’t get very





as rich from our potatoes this fall.





Steers Made Some Money.



About the easiest money that we

have made here at Ingleside Farm this

summer was on a bunch of steers

which we shipped last Monday. We

purchased these steers last spring

after our fat steers had been placed

on the market. They were none, too

well bred and were not just the type

of stock that I like to have around.

We fed them the dregs of the ensil-

age and then turned them out into a

field of June clover and sweet clover

and paid no further attention to them

except to supply salt from time to

time. A small stream running through

one corner of the field furnished cool,

fresh water at all times.



Considering the fact that we never

fed these steers a mouthful of grain,

we feel that they did well to gain

more than .300 pounds each during the

summer and to'make a net profit of

better than $33.00 apiece. Of course

we shipped these steers cooperatively

through our local Farm Bureau live

stock shipping unit. We believe that

this is the logical way to market live

stock and that in the long-run it will

bring in the largest returns on our

beef, mutton and pork. ‘





Old Time Marketing.



We can well remember the old days

before the advent of cooperative live

stock marketing in our community.

About a score of stock drovers used

to spend most of their time scouring

the territory around Ionia buying

stock from the farmers.

was purchased by the pound, but

much of it was “lumped off.” As a

rule the farmer knew little of market

trends and often he was a poor gues-

ser as to how much his stock weighed.



Despite all its inefficiencies, this

system of live stock marketing flour-

ished. Many of the shrewd buyers

found this a lucrative and profitable

business, but it was a costly arrange—

ment for the farmers.



Then some progressive farmers put





out around some of this unnecessary

marketing expense and to secure a

larger portion of the consumer’s dol-

lar paid for their‘meat products. So

they established a. cooperative live

stock‘shipping association and hired a

manager who' received. and shipped

their stock on the regular loading day.

Possibly the manager’s duties would

take about two days per week, _as in

addition. to weighing and loading the

stock‘he had to figurerout and mail

the returns to each farmer shipper.

Cooperative Development. ’»

> As the local association flourished,

their leaders saw that the cooperative

principle might well be carried a. step

further, so they organized the Mich-





operative live stock marketing thrbugh-

out the state and to establish farmer

owned commission firms at theDetroit





and East Buffalovstockyards. The sYs-’





rem has grown, until; today may fill-

When I took our steers to the stock-

yards Monday, I was rather amused

to have two or three of, the old-time

stock-buyers make me very attractive

offers for them. Possibly they might

be especially anxious to buy my stock

so that they could say' that while I

preached tic-operation, _I didn’t prac-

tice it. But more probably they knew

that these steers were weighed/up to

the co—ops, so they were perfectly safe .

in making almost any kind of offer.

This looks like a shrewd game and

one well intended to retard the devel-

opment of the cooperative movement

unless the farmers see through it and

do some straight and independent

thinking. ' '



. Work Faster in Dark.



The days are certainly getting a lot

shorter. I have been doing 'most of

my morning chores before it was light

enough to see what I was really doing.

I notice that it doesn’t take nearly as

long to clean the stables and curry off

the horses invthegray dusk Of dawn

as it would in broad day light. Of

course what I gain in speed is at the

expense of thoroughness. When it’s

light I keep brushing and currying on

the same spot until I get it reasonably

clean and may go over the; same

square inch of hide a dozen times, but

in the semi-darkness I give them a

once-over and not being able to see

any more dirt, pretend it isn’t there.



For the chores I have to carry a

lantern. We have electricity in our

home and in the barns on this side

of the road, but not in, the barns

where most of my chores have to be

done. I have become disgusted with

my little, old smoky ,kerOsene lantern.

which hardly gives enough light so

that I can find it in the dark, so yes-

terday I invested a little portion of

our steer profits“ in a new gasOline

lanternof a reliable and widely ad-

vertised make. This gives as much

light as a whole flock of the old style

lanterns.



All Set for Silo Filling.



We haven’t started filling silos yet,

but have everything ready to do so

and will probably have the job coin-

pleted by the time this article appears

in print. We have our tractor ready





. and the cuttingbox set at the first silo





and the pipe up, both outside and in—

.side. When I was‘struggling around

up in the silo window thirty feet from

mother earth, I thought of a time when

a persistent insurance agent tried to

sell me an accident insurance policy.

I happened to be working in Lansing

at that time. When I told him my

occupation was farming, he grabbed

his 'hat and ran as though I had a

contagious disease. A farm may be

supposed to been safe place, but ‘in-

surance companies know better. Sta-

tistics show that the rate of accidents

on farms is high, so naturaliy accident

insurance of‘agriculturalists' is pretty

expensive. ‘Realizing that we are sur-

rounded by innumerable hazzards, let

us watch our step a little more closely

and not \take unnecessary chances.

HERE is very little planting to

be ’done in the vegetable garden

during October except the. per-

ennial roots such as asparagus and

rhubarb. However, spinach and corn

may be planted now and wintered

over under a mulch of extra early

“greens” next spring. Corn salad

planted now will give you the earliest

outdoor grown salad next spring that

you have ever grown and the spinach

from October planted seed will be

far ahead of that planted at the ear-

liest possible time after the snow

leaves in late winter.



Fall is also a. good time to plant

asparagus and rhubarb,in the home

garden. Fall planting of these hardy

roots not only relieves a. part of

the rush work of spring but they

have time to get established before

growing weather comes an in the

spring and they are all ready to go

ahead. Plant the asparagus in well

enriched soil in rows at least three

feet apart and 15 to 18 inches apart

in the row. The crowns of the roots

should be three or four inches below

the surface of the soil. Everything

considered one-year old plants are the

best size to use.



It may be well at this time to give

some thought to the proper storage

the harvest from the vegetable garden.

After a good crop of vegetables has

been grown, it surely pays to give the

question of proper storage enough at-

tention to insure them being kept in

good condition until wanted. Condi-

tions suitable for keeping onions suc-

cessfully are entirely wrong for beets

and so on throughout the whole list

of vegetables. Three main require-

ments must be taken into account in

storing these crops during the winter,

namely, moisture, ventilation and tem‘

perature. In storing the root crops

such as beets, carrots, rutabagas and

turnips in a dry celler, moist sand

should be spread over them to keep

the roots from withering. This will

not be necessary in a cellar carrying

‘suflicient moisture. A portion of the

parsnips and salsify may be handled

in the same way but the part not

needed during the winter should be a1-

10wed to remain in the garden to be

“sweetened up" by the action of frost.

A temperature just above freezing is

all right for these vegetables in stor-

age. -



The onion is one root crop which

absolutely will not stand the treat-

ment given the roots mentioned in the

foregoing. A temperature around 35

degrees with free circulation of air

and a dry position is just right for it.



Pumpkins, squash, and sweet pota-

toes require more heat for successful

storage—~50 to.60 degrees will answer

the purpose. Stored on shelves near

the furnace is good treatment for

these crops.



Tomato‘es, although seldom handled

as a stored crop, may be kept fOr use

long after all outside vegetation has

been killed by frost. Select partially

ripened and the largest of the green

fruits, wrap in paper and store in a.

cool, dry place.



Celery, endive and Co's lettuce may

be kept until well into the winter if

stored with the roots in moist sand

on the cellar floor. Dig the plants

with as much soil as possible and

place them close together on the cel-

lar floor. If the cellar is too light for

the foliage to blanch properly, they

may be covered with newspapers.

Keep the roots moist but do not get

water on the foliage or rot will result.

, Cabbage needed during the winter

may be stored in the cellar. This may

be done with the roots and outer'

leaves on just like they are when

taken from the garden or the heads

may ‘be trimmed ready for. use and





 





shelf. That portion of .the ca.

spring months .will keep better if

stored in a. pit or trench outdoors. Dig

a. trench Wide enough to accommodate

three rows of heads and as long as

needed. Line this trench‘with a few

inches of straw and place ”the cabbage

heads down and roots attached. Cover

with a. good layer of straw and over





this put enough earth to keep the ,.





straw from blowing away.



If you have never tried cold frame

gardening in the fall, October is a.

good time to start. I am sure you

will be surprised at the quantity of

material which can be grown in the

small space of just one frame. If you

have small plants of Grand Rapids

lettuce or one of the sure heading

kinds growing in the garden, trans-

plant some of them to the frame, pro-

tect from freezing during the cold

weather and you should have lettuce

during November until Thanksgiving.

There is still time to mature a crop

of radishes in the frame. Try one of

the quick maturing varieties such as

Sparkler or Rapid Red.

some experimenting to perfect your

technique in frame gardening but the

effort will be eminently worthwhile.

REMOVING GREASE SPOTS FROM

WALL PAPER.





Can you tell me how to get grease

spots out of wall paper ceiling?—J. F.





The usual method of removing

grease stains from wall paper is to

lay a clean sheet of blotting paper

over the stain and hold a. hot flat

iron against the blotting paper. It

may require several applications to

make the grease stain disappear.

Clean brown wrapping paper may be

used if blotting paper is not available,

but is not so effective.





PRICE FOR TRACTOR AND OPER-

ATOR.





,.





Kindly advise me as to what is the

tandard price to-charge per hour for

one man and tractor?—O. W.





I do not believe that there is any

price which can be considered as

thoroughly standardized, but a. very

common rate for a good tractor oper-

ator on the farm is $5.00 per day or

50 cents per hour. If a common man

is worth $4.00 per day a good tractor

operator is easily worth $5.00 per day.

In some localities where labor is~

scarce, a higher wage will have to be

paid.



The price to be paid for the use of

a tractor will depend on several dif-

ferent factors, such as the size of the

tractor, age, cost, and general condi-

tion; but a pretty fair general rule

for estimating the overhead cost is

one-half of one per cent of the first

cost for each day’s use._ Thus a trac-

tor costing $500 will be $2.50 per day

overhead cost, one costing $1,000, $5.00

per day overhead, and so on. Fuel, oil,

and op‘erator ,wi‘ll be in addition to-

the overhead costsi—I. D. ‘





RAIN WATER FOR BATTERIES.





. Is rain water caught in a china. or

earthware bowl as good for batteries

as the distilled water we buy? Would

it be all right to strain such water

through clean white cloth to take out

all specks? We use quite a quantity

of water for our lighting plant and

cars—F. W. S.





Yes, this water ought to be safe to

use in your storage batteries. It is

usually better to wait until after it

has rained a. few minutes and washed

the dust out of the air asmuch as

possible before starting to catch the

water. Keep the water in- glass or

earthenware jugs or bottles and keep





it corked to prevent impurities from

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.





 





 





 





 





 





IT seems that many people fall for

the “something for nothing” stunt



which shrewd, and often unscrupulous

salesmen use. Rarely does one get

something for nothing in such cases.



Included in these schemes are free

lots,,free scholarships, free magazine

subscriptions, free books, etc. The

free lots are usually in undesirable

places and the “charge” for registering

the transaction is often more than the

lot is worth. Or, the lot may be only

twenty feet wide, which necessitates

the buying of the one adjoining it at

a good price, to make it usable.



Free scholarships are used by cor-

respondence schools of rather ques-

tionable reputation. The “other charg~

es” necessary to take the courSe make

the transaction profitable to the school.



Most everyone knows the free mag-

azine gag, the subscription being abso-

lutely free, only'the cost of the post—

age being required. There is also the

offer where one has to sign a contract

which the salesman leads you to be-

lieve requires a nominal price, but for

which the contract‘. requires monthly’

mpayment



The threadbare sales argument that

you have been especially selected, be-

cause .of your standing in the commu-

‘nity, for a special offer often works

because it appeals to one’ s vanity. The

offer usually is not a special bargain

The Brown’s Lose the Gold Mystery





LACK Neb had been telling Brown

'the strange story of how. Cap

, tain Pettibone had traded ships

and found the gold which had been

sought by its former owner, presum-

ably a pirate. He also .gave Beth the

astounding information that there was

a direct heir and that 01d Captain

Pettibone had made a new will before

he died. Voices are heard and Beth





that the old Captain was not in his

right mind although he was ‘queer' as

he had been for many years. Go On

with your story, Jack.”



“The Captain,” Jack continued,.“had

given his granddaughter up for dead

but just a few days before his death

a chance word dropped by Mr. Fer-

nandez gave him renewed hope.

Juanita is a cousin of Isobel," said

opens the door to find Jack Miller

with a beautiful young girl who clung

to him with an air of possession.

‘ With Young Jack and the strange

young woman was Boggs, the lawyer,

and as all the company crowded into

the little room Boggs assumed charge.

. It was evident that he was as thor-

oughly mystified as the others. Ignor-

’ ing the Brown’s except for a word

to Beth, Jack Miller began to speak:



“We came here,” he said, “because

Neb is sick and unable to travel. The



time finally has come when I can tell



,what I know and all this mystery

,will be cleared away. Neb here and

Imyself were under oath to Captain

vPettibone never to tell until we had

‘ exhausted every effort to find the Cap-

' tain’s heir. This young lady is Isobel

Sanchez, Captain Pettibone’s grand-

daughter, and the sole heir to his prop-

‘ erty.



“When the Captain was dying,”

went on Jack, “he made a new will.

Here it is, written by me at his dicta-

tion and signed by myself and Black

Neb as witnesses.”



“It wouldn’t be legal,” shrille-d Mrs.

Fernandez, “the old Captain was

crazee.



“But it is legal,” gravely observed

Boggs as he perused the document.

“There is no more reason to believe





Lost.





Jack turning to Beth. “They expected





her to be the heir.”





LL ees lost,” moaned Mrs. Fer-



nandez as she sank into a chair

and Juanita pointed .an accusing finger

at the newcomer.



“When Neb called me over,” Jack

went on, “and we fixed up the new

will he made us 'promise that we

would have Jed Carpenter take up the

search and insisted that Neb should

guard the gold in the cave which the

old Captain had used as a hiding place

to spy on the pirates who had sought

to rob him. We gave our word of

honor that we would tell no one. Jed

Carpenter was in the cave, Mr. Brown,

when Little Joe was found. I took

you there feeling that perhaps Carpen-

ter who had sworn no oath might tell

you something but they had thought

it wise to leave.” .



“Liar!” cried Hal Brown, “You

knew that you were taking us on a

fool’s chase.”



For the first time since she had

entered the room the strange ’girl

spoke. “He is no liar,” she said

haughtily. “My Jack is a gentleman.

Go on please." With hardly a trace

of accent, the girl’s voice was sweet

and low but her eyes flashed.



“That you may have no further





Whoever buys the Reuse of the Lone

Oak gets good title. It merely nulli-

fles the clause regarding the hidden

gold Which, when the first" will, was





-written, Captain Pettibone had ex-.





pected to hide in the secret tunnel. In

fact, some coins were hidden there.

The gold with all other possessions





goes to Miss Isobel and there are,

valuable properties in Vardon which





were not named in the first will. The

distant heirs of Captain Pettibone ‘re-

tain what was given them by the first

will but Miss Sanchez will be a very

wealthy young woman."



“No doubt about legality of the new

will,” announced Boggs, “but it clouds

title to the House of the Lone Oak.

Jack Miller is named as executor and

guardian of Miss Isobel, the new heir.

He will have to give a new deed to

your farm, Mr. Brown.”





I.NTO the eyes of Jack Miller came



a look of surprise? “I don’t know

about that, Mr; Boggs,” said Jack

doubtfully. “As I happen to know the

property novir occupied by Mr. Brown

and his family is far more valuable

than the price paid for it. Miss

Sanchez is the rightful heir. It Will

be for her to say whether or not I

shall relinquish all claim to the prop-

erty as you suggest or return the

$1,000 paid by Mr. Brown and give

them notice to leave. What do you

say, Miss Sanchez?”



“It will be all left to you, my Jack,”

replied the heiress. “If all my life I

do as you wish I could not repay you

for what you have done for me.” As

the beautiful girl smiled up into Jack’s

face and Jack smiled back, something

clutched hard at the heart of Beth

Brown, draining the color from her





 

 





. , sure he has h d: _

£6011 reasons for his actions. .,

shall never forget that he helped us '

find Little Joe. ” ‘



“Yes," said Mother Brown softly,

“the loss of gold orland is a Small

thing if we are all together and all '

well. But I have faith to believe that

the House of the Lone Oak will be

our home for many years. A home of ,

happiness rather than a. house of

mystery where» you and your friend‘s,

Jack, will always,be welcomed.” And

in Jack Miller’s answering smile there

seemed assurance that all would be?

well. _ ‘

There’s a joker in the “cheap" paint barrel





‘ X 7 HEN anyone offers you a very



temptingpropositionon“cheap”

paint, keep your eyes open. There‘s a

“catch” in it somewhere.





No reputable concern can sell good

house paint at a “cheap” price per gale

lon. And no unknown house is safe to

deal with. No barrel of SWP House

Paint is ever “planted” on the station

platform. Don’t be fooled by this

“apple/sauce.”



No “quality” paint is ever peddled

from door to door or

offered in highly col/

ored circulars by some

very friendly person

whom you do not know

who tells some impos’

sible tale about saving

money for you.





These are sharp tricks that have

fooled many unwary buyers. Don’t let

them fool you. Remember, “cheap”

paint isn’t cheap at all.





 





W19)! SWP costs less





“You can’t make a silk purse out of a

sow’s ear.” And you can‘t buy a

house paint that will cover and hide

and wear for years —for a ‘ ‘cheap’ ’ price.





Fine old SWP House Paint





But “gallon price” does not indicate

the cost of painting. “Low price” is a

delusion. Actually, a “cheap” paint

costs you from two to five times as

much as SWP House Paint. And here

is why:



A gallon of SWP House Paint covers

360 square feet, two coats. The aver

age “cheap” paint must be greatly

stretched to cover, poorly, a mere 250

square feet, two coats.





Therefore, nearly twice as many

gallons of “cheap” paint are needed as

of fine old SWP to cover the same area.

Figure out the cost of the paint on that

basis and your eyes will be opened.

That is one angle of the “joker” in the

“cheap” paint barrel.





W/onderful colors that last





But that’s only the beginning. SWP

House Paint will beautify and protect

your building from two to five times as

long as “cheap” paint.





SWP colors are unusually rich and

true to character. They do not fade.

Weather does not affect them. The

film of SWP is tough and elastic. There





is no chipping, peeling, chalking.





Most “cheap” paint begins to peel

and chip and chalk almost





 





costs more per gallon. That’s

because it is made of super’





Sherwin -Williams





before it is dry. It deterio»

rates very rapidly. Colors be!

Because it is mixed and

ground to creamy/smooth

texture by power/driven max

chines which no hand/mixing

can possibly equal.





 





For barns, corn cribs,

roofs, fences and similar

outdoor surfaces.





Costs less on' the wall

than"cheap”bampaint





burn or scrape the old stuff

off and do it all over at heavy

expense.





It‘s easy to see why cheap,

trashy paint costs twice as





 





 





much as SWP House Paint by the year.

That’s another angle of the “joker.”





See "Paint Headquarters”

—save money





SWP House Paint is sold by reliable

dealers in every part of the world.

Each one is “Paint Headquarters” in

his vicinity.



Before you let any “bargain” offer

lure you into a waste of money see the

SWP dealer near you. He handles de/

pendable merchandise. You probably

know him personally. Get his advice,

then decide. If you want color cards,

advice from our experts or a copy of

rich tobacco-body that bangs your

morning to midnight.

tell you a lot more, but I want P. A. to

with one-dial control





N the new, complete line of

RADIOLAS that has just come from

the famous research laboratories of

RCA, Westinghouse and General Elec-

tric, the marvelously compact RADIOLA





16 is an outstanding achievement.





Particularly adapted—like the popu-

lar RADIOLA 20—for use on the farm,

its simplicity of operation, perfection

of tone and high selectivity and sensi-

tivity make it a worthy companion of

the more cosdy sets that carry the well-

known RCA mark. The only rival of

this new model in the low-price field





is the RADIOLA 20.





When used with one of the RCA





 





RADIOLA 16—Storage battery receiver of great

compactness. For selectivity, sensitivity and

tone quality, it sets a new standard for receivers

in its price class. The cabinet is finished in

mahogany.



Less accessories $69.50 . with Radiotrons $82.75





 





RADIOLA 20—Dry-battery-operated receiver,

with amazing sensitivity and many times as selec-

tive as the average antenna set. Ideal for distant

reception. Can readily be adapted to socket

operation. Ideal to use with the new RCA

Loudspeaker 100-A.

GUARD AGAINST TYPHOID FEVER.‘





 





AM afraid that we must be on the



watch .for typhoid‘. fever again.

Montreal is practically neighbor to us,

since there is a paved highway to cov-

er every mile of the way, and Mom-

treal’s epidemic of typhoid fever is

about as bad asthey make them. It

is rather difficult to say just how it'

got such a. start. Between January 1





/ and March 3, 1927, there were just





I us to the third precaution.

, about strangers, tourists, hired help,





your home make sure of their physical





v_ by using it with the chill removed.





'tected there is reasonable safety un-





nineteen cases reported, practically

normal for the city. Then the disease

shot ahead so that by the end of

March, 600 were down with it. It kept

sweeping along so that by June 28 a.

total of 4,755 cases had been reported

during the ,epidemic and new cases

were coming right along. Almost one

in ten died for, between March 1 and

June 28, 453 persons died of typhoid

fever in Montreal.



There is a lot of visitors to Mon.

treal‘ every year—even this year.

Some of them may bring the disease

back with them; or people who have

been working there may move to our

part of the country and thus spread

the infection. It is a sure thing that

we cannot feel quite so safe against

typhoid, with an epidemic of some five

thousand cases so close. Yet there is

no need that any of us shall contact

the disease if we use proper precau-

tions.



First of all, we can get vaccinated

against typhoid. This affords good

protection over a three-year period.

Second, we can safeguard our food and

water supplies. Typhoid fever is the

type of disease that you either eat or

drink. Rarely indeed, is it contracted

in any other way. The water supply

and the milk supply must be kept un-

der close watch and if these are pro-





less a typhoid carrier comes along and

mixes into our cooking. That brings

Be careful





and so "forth. Before taking them into





condition.



There is another precaution, but

your health officers will take care of

that. It is to see that any case of

typhoid fever that does~ arise is sur-

rounded with every possible precaution

against its spread. In epidemic sea-

sons one case may bring a thousand.





 





CURE FOR WARTS.





 





Is there any way of getting rid of

large warts on the hands? What shall

I use?-——W. E. B.



Glacial acetic acid will remove warts

and is safe enough if used with good





judgment.





 





HAS CHRONIC CATARRH.





 





Does chronic catarrh ever cause

deafness and is there anything to do

about it? I am a young person and

willing to do anything to avoid deaf-

ness—K. L. T.





Chronic catarrh is responsible for

.threefourth of the deafness of young

and middle aged people. Temporary

relief of these symptoms may often

be obtained by treatment Or the eus-

tachian tubes by a specialist in ear

troubles. Enlarged tonsils often ag-

gravate the complaint and if any exist

they should be removed. It is quite

possible to cure catarrh. The only

way to do it is to encourage activity

of the skin so as to avoid colds that

bring acute catarrhal attacks. Every





-mbrning on rising the skin should be ~





brought to an active glow. This is

best doné by means of a cdld sponge

and brisk rub, but some who cannot

stand the cold water get good results

OPERATION FOR _RUPTURE.'





 





I am thirty-four years old, in good

health, but have a rupture on the

right side which has been giving me

some trouble of late; Is an operation

for repair dangerous, if a \person is

strong?—M. K. .





Not at all. There is very little dan-

ger in an operation for the repair of

a rupture, if done by a surgeon of

moderate skill. A young man of thir-

ty-four who goes on through life try-

ing to palliate a rupture is doomed to

many years of discomfort and sub-

standardhealth. Have it operated.





 





 





 

 

 





 





100,000 Miles Witho’ at Stoppln' g for Oil 7

An inventor who could develop an airplane which , 5

would perform such a feat would be consrdered a;

.g_ Wondern But such iS the record of regular

. accomplishment by the Auto-Oiled Aermotor

is in pumpmg water. , . ~ .

. 3' Didyou ever stop to think how many revolutions the? ' ;

, wheel of a windmill makes? If the wheel of an Aermotor sh -

' roll along the surface of the ground at the same speed that it

makes When pumping water it would encircle the world in 90days, '

. ‘ or would go four times around in a year. It would travel on an

average 275 miles per day or about 30 miles per hour for 9 hours

. each day. An automobile which keeps up that pace day after day

needs a thorough 011mg at least once a week. Isn’t it marve10u8.-

then, that a windmill has been made Which will go 50 times as long as the best

automobile with one oiling and keep it up for 25 or 30 years?

The Auto-oiled Aer-motor after many years of service in every part of the,

world has proven its ability to run and give the most reliable service with one

011mg a year. The double gears. and all moving parts, are entirely enclosed and

flooded with oil. Aermotors and Aermotor Towers withstand the storms.

LIJAPI was a man who went



against the current. That is al-

_ ways a hard role, and a hard

row. We talk about it, but 'few of us

do it. It 'all seems to come from our

underlying motives. Listening to the

casual conversation of many people,

one gathers the impression that the

highest bliss in life is to gather to-

gether enough so that one may live

without working. If you are a mer-

ful as you, driving their loads of hogs





to market. The idea- is, to make life

easy, easier, easiest. All very well,

of course. But Elijahs are not made





that way, nor Washingtons, nor Liv-

ingstons. It takes a terrific amount

of heating and

pounding and rol-

ling and heating

and pounding and

rolling, and more

heat and pressure

and rolling to

make a steel rail

that will hold up

a train, or a steel

man that will

hold up a great cause. One of Amer-

ica’s most successful college presi-

dents, who put the fear of God into

many a student, has phrased it thus:—~

“The concentration of one’s whole

energy upon a worthy end, and the

willing acceptance of the pains, pri-

vations and penalties which may be

incidental to the effective prosecution

of that end is the comprehensive for-

mula of every brave and heroic life.”

That seems to be. Elijah, and every

other brave and heroic life that you

can think of.





I remember a visit I made in com-





 





' pany with other teachers in a southern





college to the home of Cassius Mar-

cellus Clay. Cassius Marcellus Clay,

a cousin of the stateman Henry Clay,





was a man who went against the cur— *





rent. If he was ever afraid, no one

but himself knew it. It was in the





'hot abolition days before the Civil





War, when to be an abolitionist in the

south‘ was to invite hooded men to

your door after dark. Clay had freed

all his slaves and believed every one

He would go

to a meeting, filled with men who

were prepared to break up the meet-

ing and flog the speaker, and would

begin something like this. Taking a

Bible from his pocket he would read

a few verses. “That,” he would say,

“is for those in this audience who

revere the Word of God.” Then draw-

ing from another pocket a copy of the

constitution of Kentucky, he would

read the section which guaranteed the

right of free speech. “That is for





.those who revere not God, but who





respect the laws of man.” Then pul-

ling out two vicious looking horse-pis-

tols he would lay them on the desk,





a. one on each side of the Bible and the





constitution. “These,” said the speak-

er, looking calmly at the men in the

crowd, ‘fthese are for those who re-

spect not God nor regard the laws

of men ” Then he would deliver a





broadside against the iniquities of his .

day





When we visited him, he had be-

come old and queer. He came to the

door with a rifle in his hands, and

would not permit anyone to enter. He

had the hallucination that some one

wanted to kill him He had been a





tower of strength in his day. An.





Elijah sort of a man. He had an idea,





. and for that idea 'he had been willing

_ to' sacrifice {everythingy





:Elljah' believed in God. He he—

Our Weekly SerMon—-—By N. A. McCune





ing to stake everything on what he

believed. He was prepared to put his

Gad to the test in the Open, before a

vast multitude of people. Charles

Spurgeon, the famous Baptist preach-

er. of England, did the same thing, in

another way: In effect he said, I am

asking God to provide orphanages for

the poor children of London. If He

answers my prayer,

God we worship. And God answered

the prayer of Spurgeon, and the or-

phanages are still going on.



Note Elijah’s prayer. Nothing fev-

erish or excited about it, nothing the—

atrical or I-am-about-to-doa-big—thing

attitude. Very simple and direct. But

it is a large prayer, that takes hold

of large ideas. “Hear me, O, Jehovah,

hear me, that this people may know

that Thou, Jehovah, art God, and that

Thou hast turned their heart back

again.”





The test began by repairing the

altar. That is a good way to begin

any reform. When religion sags, it is

invariably neglected in the home.



The way Elijah disposed of the false

prophets is delicious reading, at least

in some of our fiercer moments.

Something within us says, that is the

way to handle all the fakers and

frauds. But long after, the disciples

of a Man much greater than Elijah

wanted to administer some such mild

dose to those who opposed them, and

He rebuked them. He said. He had

not come to do things thatway. To

kill men is not to help them, in the

way of truth. Maybe it was all right

in Elijah’s time. It does not go, in

the light of what Christ taught. He

asked for vengeance on none of His

persecutors, but at the last cried out,

“Father, forgive them.” Religious

persecution or prosecution gets no

where. It does not change opinions or

practices. The way of love is the way

of conquest, and the only way that

endues. It is slow, painfully so, tra-

gically so, at times. But force, vio»

lence, which seem speedy, leave he

hind broken pieces, broken heads,

broken hearts. But we must honor

Elijah for his tremendous courage, his

fidelity to the truth as he saw it.

Decorate Candles and Holders

!By Means of Me Sea/ing W ax Cmfi, Yoze Ca” Mate Clever, Yet Inexpensive Giflr





 





HE material that I am going to

show you how to use is sealing

wax—one of the most interesting

of craft materials because it is so easy

to handle even by the inexperienced.





When dissolved in denatured alco-

hol, sealing wax becomes a brightly

hued paint, that, when dried, leaves a.

delightful glazed finish which is not

true [of either . oil or water color

paints. The end of the stick of seal-

ing wax may be heated over an alco-

, hol lamp and the soft-

ened wax used to cover

' the surface in an ena-

j mel effect, or moulded

and shaped to make

raised flowers and

other designs.



The tools required for

decorating candlesticks

and candles are a small

stiff brush for painting

whole surfaces, a small

camel’s hair brush for

painting small floral or

conventional designs, a

small wax moulder, pal-

let knife and an alcohol

lamp.



How to have Inexpen-

sive Candlesticks.



It is not necessary to

~ use candlesticks of ex-

“ pensive materials for

decorating, because

they are usually en-

’ tirely covered, either

. by painting, enameling,

‘ or some other method



of decorating. Cheap

. wooden or glass candle-

sticks, if they are well

shaped, are all that is

required for the founda-

tion from which very

lovely and artistic

pieces can be \devel-

oped.



The candlestick may

first be painted with

any desired color of

sealing wax paint made

as explained above. (It

takes about 12 hours

for the wax to dis-

solve) An even brush stroke will

produce an enamel effect that is easily

cleaned.



Another very attractive enamel ef-

fect is obtained by applying two or

three shades of heated sealing wax

and blending the colors. To do this,

heat the end of a stick of sealing wax

' over the flame and beginning at the

top of the candlestick, apply a row of

the predominating color of the wax

directly on the candlestick. Use a

brush-like stroke, leaving about 1/8 of

an inch space between each stroke.

‘Reheat the stick of wax as often as

necessary to go all around. Apply a

row of the second and of the third

. colors in the same way, below the

', predominating color. Now hold the

candlestick over the alcohol flame,

revolving it slowly, always in the

the candlestick is entirely covered. Be

sure that the wax is dotted on the

surface closely so there will be no

open spaces. If there are any

“strings,” or any sharp ends of wax

visible, pass the candlestick quickly

over the flame to melt them.





The enameled candlestick needs no

further decoration, but if desired the

painted and the stippled surface may

be further decorated by moulding on

them small sprays or clusters of

flowers. These raised

designs are made by

dropping the hot wax

from the stick on the

spot selected for the

design, allowing it .to

cool slightly and shap-

ing the petal or leaf

‘with two or three

strokes of the moulder.

The work will be easier

if the design is first

outlined in pencil, and

for those who do not

feel capable of drawing





their outlines, patterns

77 can be used.

Candles Should Con-





form with Decorations.



Candles decorated to

match the candlesticks

are attractive, but, of

course, the decorated

candle is often used in

a plain candlestick.

The designs on the can-

dles may be raised, or

painted. Sometimes the

entire surface of the

candle is painted with

transparent amber seal-

ing wax paint, and

when dry, the designs

are painted or moulded

on, the same methods

being used as for the

candlesticks for the

best effect.



Candles with “drip”

decorations are very

attractive. The wax is

heated and allowed to

drip from the end of

the stick on the top of

the candle. Several different colors

may be dripped on the candle, pre-

ferably the decorative colors used on

the candlestick.



Sometimes it is a little difficult to

make the sealing wax adhere to the

wax of the candle when' the candles

are not first painted with transparent

amber paint. However, a little prac-

tice will soon teach you how it is

done. The sealing wax must be hot

enough to spread, but not so hot as

to melt the candle wax.



It will take only a little practice

to get exquisite results from the seal-

to first practice on a piece of card-“5‘;

portant to use colors that harmonize.

If you are not sure they will go to-

gether well, try them on a piece of

cardboard first.



Gift Season Not Far Away.



We must begin soon to plan our

Christmas gifts, if we would be all

ready before the rush of the last

week. Decorated candles and candle-

sticks make most acceptable gifts, and,

indeed, a pair of hand decorated can-

dles alone would be a. very complete

gift. The candlesticks, of course, have





.the double advantage of being both





artistic and practical.—Dorthy Wright.

AVOID DARK-COLOR E D CATS‘U'P.





 





IT is not necessary to use artificial

coloring matter to make a bright

red catsup of fine flavor and body. No

commercial catsup. sold in the United

States contains artificial coloring mat-

ter. The trick of making good-colored

catsup is simple if a few precautions

are observed.





First, select fine, red, ripe tomatoes}.-

Second, avoid the use of cloves, all-

spice, and other spices containing tan-

nin, because they darken the catsup.

In their place use cayenne pepper and

paprika and other spices which, used

in the proper combination, give an

excellent flavored catsup. Third, add

the salt, sugar, and vinegar near the

end of the cooking so‘ as not to cause

darkening of the catsup or loss of vin-

egar during the boiling. ‘



Home-made catsups may have the

body and keeping quality of commer-

cial catsups if they contain sufficient





sugar, conCentrated vinegar, and salt.





This recipe is especially recommended

with the necessary precautions outlin-

ed above:

I have heard that you can make

how ,it is d0ne.——M-rs. D B



When cider vinegar is scarce, it is

quite easy to make honey vinegar as

a. substitute. Mix one pint of strained

honey with one gallon of warm water.

Cover and set in a warm place where

it will ferment. It will soon turn to

vinegar.





TO PRESERVE GRAPES.





 





Which is the best way to put up

grapes for winter use and how ?—Mrs.

M. J. K.





One of the best ways of preserving

grapes for winter use is by making

grape juice. The juipe can be served

in a number of different ways as 'a

drink and' can be used in puddings

and sauces and frozen deserts. To

make grape juice use ten pounds of

grapes, two pounds sugar and two

quarts boiling water.



Pick over grapes, removing stems

and imperfect fruit, wash. Add boil-

ing water, set over low heat, simmer

until skins leave the pulp (about 114

' hours) then bring to boiling point,

boil 5 minutes. Remove from fire,

pour into jelly bag, let drip into large

pan until pulp is dry (about 12 hours).

Bring juice to boiling point, add sugar,

let boil 1 minute. Pour into sterilized

jars or bottles and seal. If corked,

dip cork in paraffin. Keep in cool

dark place. Makes about 2% quarts.

Grape Conserve or jam is also deli-

cious. To make it use four pounds of

grapes, one pound of raisins, three

pounds of sugar, and one pound of

nuts. Wash and stem the grapes.

Separate skins from the pulp‘and re-

move seeds. Boil pulp until tender,

then put through a. wire seive and

cook pulp and skins until tender. Add

sugar and cook until thick. Add nuts

and raisins ten minutes before remov-

ing from the fire. Pack in jelly

glasses and cover with paraffin.





 





TO CLEAN WHITE ENAMEL.





 





What should I use to clean a white

enamel kitchen cabinet that would not

destroy the finish?—Mrs. H. F





A mild soap solution and warm wa-

ter would not harm the finish. Clear

water to which a few drops of am-

monia has been added, is also good

to remove the dirt. Many readers pre-

fer to use milk because, if rubbed dry,

it will give a good polish.





 





UNDERWEIGHT.





 





I am 29 years old and 5 feet 8

inches tall and weigh 124 pounds. Am

I underweight and if so how much?—

Mrs. G. M.





You should weigh 145 pounds so you

are about twenty pounds underweight.

Extra rest and extra diet should give

you the weight you need and you will

feel and look better for it.

UZZ-ZZ, BUZZ-ZZ,” shouted (the



Fly Family as they flew about



the house from door to door



and from one window to another.

“We want to get in, we want to get in.”

But all the doors and windows

seemed to be screened very tightly.

There was Mother House Fly and

Daddy House Fly and their large fam-

ily of Baby House Flies.



Along late in the afternoon, Daddy

House Fly was lucky enough to slip

in through the scfieen door when it

was opened a fraction of an inch.





 





At First the Baby House Flies just

Nibbled Around the Edge of the Jar.





A fresh frosted cake set» uncovered on

the kitchen table.



"Yum, yum-um,” said- Daddy House

Fly as he waddled across it andthen

licked off his .sticky. legs. From the

cake he flew off in search of the pan-

try. ‘On the pantry sheif.he found a

jar of jam and lucky for him the

cover was off.





’But Daddy House Flyhad only time

to taste a bit of jam. that had been

_ spilled on the ring of the jar when

,. swish: a'big fly. swatter «was. coming

., sight‘down- on' his head. “Crack” it



“mended «but. by: this 'time'? Dad

was grinning iromzhis-s 6





place on the ceiling of the pantry.



It was quite a spell before Daddy

House Fly ventured near the uncov-

ered jam again. But finally when the

coast was clear, he gobbled up his

fill of jam and flew up to the screen

in the open window. Here he found

a tiny hole in the screen and was

soon telling Mother House Fly and

the Baby House Flies about the de-

licious things he had found.



“And there is a hole right in the

screen,” ended Daddy House Fly.



“Buzz-zz, hip hurrah,” shouted the

House Fly Family and they flew





‘ straight for the hole in the screen.





“Be careful,” cautioned Daddy

House Fly, and don’t venture into the

pot of Jam. Just nibble around the

outside. And watch out for the swat-

ter too!”



At, first the Baby House Flies nibbled

around the edge of the jam pot and

watched the fly swatter carefully.

Then one of the Baby Flies forgot the

caution of Daddy House Fly and

I quite disagree with “Lily of the

.Valley” who stated .that the present





 





Clara Hannil and Sister Lillian.





generation was “going to the dogs.”

For shame, Lily, you signed your name



8 “Lily of the Valley,” which is sup-

posed to be pure and noble, but do you

think you’re very pure by having evil

thoughts?” Are you not part of the

present generation? Then why run it

down? I think that it is our duty to

uphold our generation not in evil but

by doing and being good to those with

whom we come in contact during our

life.



I do not believe in drinking and

petting—but I believe if a man wants

to smoke that’s his own business.





.Smoking is not to be classed with





drinking and petting.



Has it ever occurred to you, Lily,

that the generations before us petted,

smoked, and drank when the saloons

were as common to them (more so)

than the “flask” is to the youth of

today? Then men, old and young,

visited the poolrooms and saloons,





drinking, smoking until wee hours of





the morning, returning home to gag

bling wives and sobbing mother ,‘ ‘

was a common sight to see drunkards

on the streets and in the home.





Evil originated in the Garden of

Eden. It always has been (since the

forbidden fruit was eaten). It is now,

and it always will be until the world

is no more. To out-run evil we our-

selves must do and be good. We must

not be evil in mind and deed. We

must not slam the sinner and push

him deeper into the mire of sin, but

must use our strength, good will, and

sympathy by helping him out and

saving his blackened soul if possible.



If we keep our own back porches

clean, our own reputations pure, we

shall have enough to do without slam-

ming others. We can keep ourselves





However, I ‘





pure and good if we have self will

andfaith in God. Let the pure be the

backbone of America, helping the sin-

ners to do-and be better. This 'is my

point of View anyway. I agree with

Uncle Frank in his response to you.



I certainly enjoyed David Johnson’s

letter. He had a- wonderful trip.

Where have Harold Cole, 'White

Dear Uncle Frank.



How soon do you print the letters

enjoyed Our Page. My mother

reads Our Page too. She read that

THE M. C. FUND





 





URING the last few days contri-



butions to our fund have been

coming in a little better but we are

still about twenty dollars short of

what we need to buy the radio for the

Children’s Hospital in Detroit. Let's

have a real rally in fund contributions

so that we can go over the top in time

that the crippled children can enjoy

the radio this winter. So please start

your nickles and dimes rolling this





on the border line as far as the ‘head

is concerned, and for these hens we

look for the next culling factor which

is the shape and conformation of the

body. The laying inclinations are

shown in the head, but a large, capa—

cious body is necessary to carry out

these good intentions.



The body of the hen should be

brick-shaped from a. side view. In no

instance should she Show less depth

in the rear than she does in front. If

such is the case, throw her with the

culls. Laying hens are deep from back

to keel. Do not look at a. hen to ob-

serve this fact, but feel for the depth

as feathers are sometimes very de-

ceiving. ' The back should be wide,

flat, and long, carrying out well in the

rear. The ribs should be flat, deep,

and long, making the body a triangu—

lar shape from the bottom View. If

a hen has a round shallow body, she

should be thrown with the culls. In





she should be solid, compact, and

heavy in proportion to her size, and

muscular instead of fat. The condi-

tion of the egg sack and the pelvic

bones reveals the secret of the fat

hens. The egg sack should be soft

and pliable, wide between the pelvic

bones and the keel, and free from fat.

The laying hen should have a solid,

compact, and heavily muscled body to

stand the strain of heavy production

and avoid the winter moult. In addi-

tion to the body conformation, the

feathers should be broad, not too long,

and close to the. body. ,



The pelvic bones of a laying hen are

spread apart at least three fingers.

This test denotes present production

only however, and should not be given

too much weight in culling for the

best» of laying hens take a vacation at

times. It is best to cull from head





' and body points.





The next important point in culling

is the feathers which indicate the

.moulting and broody periods. ' Moult-

ing consists of a hen loosing her old

feathers and blooming out in a new

display of plumage. Most hens stop

laying when they begin to moult.

Since the moulting period covers sev-

eral weeks it is advisable to sell the

hens that moult , early. The early





' mouiting hen is not a consistent layer.





She takes all the fall months as a

vacation for changing her plumage.

The consistant layer moults later, in

November or even later, and grows

her new plumage rapidly. For this





reasonvthe-xhen that ”moults early and

Kill the Cull





. (Continued from page 293.)





her new feathers should be culled out

for she is not a profitable hen. She

will not lay in the winter months as

some people might suppose.



Another important point‘ in culling

is the broody periods. A hen which

goes broody too often is undesirable.

We wish hens to lay instead of set.

Each- time a hen goes broody she





looses a feather in each of her pri-'





mary wing feathers. The primary

wing consists of ten feathers which

form the outer portion of the wing.

Number one is next to the small index

feather separating the primary and

Secondary wing and is the first feather

lost with the first broody period. In

the second broody period number 2 is

lost and so on. From this wing exam-





ination it can be determined exactly .





the number of times the hen has gone

broody at culling time. Each broody

period means from 10 to 20 days loss

in production. If feather number 3 is

small and just growing back in the

wing it indicates that the hen has

gone broody three times which is too

many times for good production, and

she is usually thrown into the culls.

Broodiness cannot be determined after

the moulting period, but‘ if the moult-

ing period arrives before September

the hen should be thrown in with the

culls.





There is one more factor in culling

of importance, and that is the color

factor. A hen which begins laying

and lays steadily looses the yellow

coloring in the vent, eye ring, ear

lobe, beak, and shanks in order named.

The beak beginning from the base and

working toward the tip will be

bleached to a white c010r after 20-30

eggs have been layed in steady pro-

duction, and when 75-100 eggs have

been layed the shanks will lose their

yellow color and take on a white

color. When the hens for any reason

stop laying, the yellow pigment re-

turns in the same degree and manner

in which it disappeared. Therefore, if

the shanks were White and the beak

yellow, the color factor would indicate

that a 20—30 day vacation had been

taken after a good laying cycle. If

the beak Was only half yellow, a 1015

day vacation would be the verdict. If

the shanks show all yellow at time of

culling, the vacation is too great and

the hen should be classed ”as a cull.



From these tests, the, 'head, the

body, the feather, and color factors,

hens can be very readily culled from

the flock: If the culier is not certain

of one test, he may apply the remain.-

ieg tests, and get good results.

where he was the guest

of Standard Chemical Mfg. Co. official



“I have raised poultry 30 years." sai

Mr. Dickey, “and EGG a. DAY beats any-

thing I have ever seen for producing eggs .

the year around. Builds up the hens’

health. I got 4,279 eggs from my first,

A COMMON TRAGEDY IN BREED-i





ING;





 





IN every, community with which we



are familiar, there are men who

have dissipated promising breeding

ventures by crossing high” grade stock

with a sire of some mtirely difierent

type and breed. For instance, one

man Spoiled a herd of grade Holsteins

by introducing as his fourth sire. a.

Jersey bull f‘to add richness to the

milk.” A sheep raiser who had made

some real progress in developing a.

herd of fine wools, one day succumbed

to the idea of increasing the size by

changing to an: Oxford ram. This habit

"good bulletins on c6oling and hand-





ling and on' dairy house plans. All





the leading agricul ural colleges have





blue print -plans for farm dairy houses

which can be had fer a few cents and

many of them have free bulletins on

dairy houses and on handling dairy.

states asking them to send you their





 





 





 





 





of switching from one breed to an-

other is the beSt way to develop a

sort of live stock menagerie for the

farm. While an occasional individual

from these crosses are good produc-

ers of live stock produCts, progress

stops at the first cross.





HOPE IN EVERY HERD.





 





NLY very occasionally do testers



find an entire herd of cows un-

profitable. In the records now avail-

able, a case is rarely found Where the

best cows in the poorest herds are less

productive than the poorest cows of

the best herds. These records do

show, in a very high percentage of

cases, a wide margin of difference be-

tween the high and low producing an-

imals in any herd. Because of the

high producers there is hope "in prac-

tically every herd. Through careful

selection, the use of a good sire, prop~

erly balanced feeds, and intelligent

care, it is altogether possible to de-

velop the best animal on the majority

of our ordinary farms into paying

herds.

'CARRY A BIG SCOOP SHOVEL.





 





A STINGY person makes a poor



feeder,” said a southern Michigan

farmer the other day, as he presented

an unusually fine bunch of Rambouillet

rams. “We can get size when we keep

before the lambs enough feed to ena-

ble‘them to always make their regular

maximum gains. Money is lost when

weight, .once gained, is lost. The

cheapest gains are made by animals

that have never been stunted,” he ad-

ded. “Over-feeding is also poor busi-





‘ ness for both the farmer and the stock,





but somehow one does not have the

lack of respect for the fellow who is





over-generous with his scoop shovel,





that he has for the man who partly



starves his animals. ”

PULLING CONTESTS AND HORSE

BREEDING.





By R. 8. Hudson.





NEW record has been made for

Michigan. On Wednesday, Sep-

tember 14 a. team of horses owned by

the Owosso Sugar Company, Prairie

Farm at'Alicia, Michigan, raised the

state record from 3,100 pounds to a

tractive pull of 3,150 pounds. The

team broke a. record which had stood

for better than a year. The team is

a pair of pure bred Belgians bred and

developed by the Prairie Farm, which

is undoubtedly the largest Belgian

breeding plant in the world.



My reason for commenting on this

new record is to bring out the fact

that the show ring standard of both

this country and Belgium is not al-

together wrong.



One horse in this team is a full

brother to Pervenche, owned by Mich-

igan State College, East Lansing,

Michigan. It will be remembered that

Pervenche was Junior and Grand

Champion at Ohio State, Michigan

State Fairs, and at the International

as a twoyear-old in 1923 and repeated

this record as a Senior and Grand

Champion the following season. Since

that season she has been a winner in

the mare and foal, and “Produce of

Mare" classes with her offsprings

from Range Line Phoenix.





The gelding in this team of record

breakers suffered the loss of an eye

while young and was made a work

horse on the Prairie Farm. On Sep-

tember 15 it was demonstrated that

he had not reached his limit as the

team was given an opportunity to go

again against their own record of the

previous day.





They failed according to H. J. Galla—

gher, Michigan State College in charge

of the dynamometer, to develop addi-

tional power due apparently to the

inability of the other horse of the team

to hold his end of the evener.



Then another point I want to em-

phasize is that this good gelding has

the conformation and the disposition

to go farther. The sire of this animal

and also of Pervenche is Rubis 8004,

a prize winner at the Brussels Show

just before he was imported to this

country. He is now sixteen years of

age and is still carrying on at the





winners. The first and second prize

fillies at the Ohio State Fair of 1926

and 1927 are daughters of Rubis and

are owned and being shown by Mich-

igan State College. It will be recalled

that one of these mares, Manitta de

Rubis, was Junior and Grand Cham-

pion as a two and three year old at

both Ohio State and Michigan State

both of these years and that she was

the Junior Champion at Chicago in

1926. Pervenche and the two fillies

just referred to won for Rubis the

“Get of Sire” group and the “Best

Three Mare” group at Ohio State,

Michigan State in 1926 and have re-

peated the record at both again this

season.



The mother “of the winning gelding

and of Pervenche is a big chestnut

mare named Quenéa. At the service

of Rubis she produced a filly in 1925.

This fiily looks like a real one. She

has not been shown extensively thus

far but has started ,away as a. first

prize winner at Michigan State fair

and Saginaw County .fairs this year.



Down in the pastures on Prairie

Farm this season are as fine a. lot of

foals by Rubis as can be found any-

where. Old Quenea is there and at

her side romps a fine big stallion foal

a full brother to the gelding which

just made a new horse pulling record

for Michigan.



This brief report I think brings out

the fact that animals with a conform-

ation and temperament to Win cham-

produce “motive power” in the high-





~:est degree when properly harnessed

WHEAT.



Wheat prices have shown stability

in the last few days. and have rallied

3 to 4 cents from the lowest point of

the season. Basic conditions of supply

and demand have taken on a bearish

color, and merchandising factors are

not especially stimulating. Prices are

already low, however, and about 25

cents under the high point of the sea-

son. This discounts a substantial por-

tion of the bearish factors, and the

market may be ready to respond to

bullish influences if they should ap-





pear.

RYE.

Rye prices remain stronger than

wheat. Some export business is being





done and the new crop movement is

not creating any pressure. The total

rye crop in the northern hemisphere

promises to be about 100 million bush-

els more than last year.





about eleven cents early in the last

week, but the advance was not fully

maintained. The extent of the frost

damage is still uncertain. A substan-

' tial area is still susceptible to injury

if killing frost should arrive soon.

.The recent heavy movement of old

corn appears to have been absorbed

by the commercial demand without

any accumulation of consequence.

Probably the visible supply will be

whittled down to some extent in the

next few weeks as it will be two

months or more before new corn will

begin to move freely.





OATS. ,





Oats prices have shown marked

strength in the last two weeks and

appear to have passed bottom for the

season. The small crop and light

carryover make a rather strong under-

lying situation. Primary receipts have

been moderate. The visible supply is

gradually increasing, but probably

will not become as burdensome as it





was last year.

BANS.



Bean prices are lower than a week

ago, with C. H. P. whites quoted at

$5.60 per 100 pounds, f. o. b. Michigan

shipping points. Demand is rather

quiet and is not expected to become

active until colder weather arrives.

Weather has continued to favor har-





vesting the crop, and offerings for advance during the past week Since

early shipment are falrly large. the peak usually is not reached until

the demand.



Receipts .of dressed poultry are in-

creasing, showing that the fall move-

ment is getting under way. Supplies

are larger than last year, but prices

are already lower than in 1926. Con-

suming demand is excellent, partly as

a result of lower retail prices. ~

Deterioration in pastures during the

past fortnight resulted in some im-

provement in the demand for hay.

Country loadings of timothy are not

large and prices on’top grades held

fully steady. Western alfalfamarkets

have eased off under heavy supplies.

Dairy alfalfa hay of good quality finds

ready sale in the middle west. A re-

port from the principal surplus produc-

ing sections of the middlewestern

states indicates that a great amount

of the hay in this area has been dam-

aged by excessive rains and suggests

that the amount of hay available for

shipment between states may be con-

siderably reduced.





EGGS.





Egg. prices continued their seasonal





The carryover from the old crop is

above the average so that altogether,

a large supply will be available.

Prices paid to growers so far have

ranged mostly $5 to $5.50 per 100

pounds, basis clean seed, compared

with $6 to $8 last year, $5 to $6 two

years ago and $7.50 to $9 three years





ago.

FEEDS.





Erratic grain markets continue to

influence feed prices. Light offerings

have helped to strengthen the bran

market although heavy wheatfeeds

have continued to decline. New crop

offerings of linseed and cottonseed





reduced in an effort to stimulate de-

mand. Pastures are still in fair con-

dition in the northeast and northern

states.

.Wool prices are working higher in

mills has been fairly active and deal-

been more American buying in Aus-

COUNTY CROP REPORTS.





 





Huron County.‘——Bean harvest now

on. Too dry for good crops of beans

or potatoes. Sugar beets are looking

good as rains have helped. Fruit crops

almost total failure. Acreage of al-

falfa and sweet corn nearly doubled

last year. Sweet clover threshing is

bringing good results. Live stock is

in fine shape and is bringing good



rices. Not much grain going to mar-

et yet. Nearly all eighth

are going to high school.—A. M. .



Midland, County.—Bean crop here

about 75%. Hay was light; oats good;

,and barley fair. Sugar beets will be

light because of drought. Pasture is

about all dried up, and farmers are

feeding their stock. Potatocrop will

be very light here an account of con-

tinued dry weather.——G. H. W





Clare County.———Farmers plowing for \





small grains. Frosts in some localities

killed corn, beans, and potatoes, but

fall rains havehclped crops that were





not killed, and corn is improving; also!





potatoes, Beans were too near to

maturity to respond to rain. Stock is

in good condition; cream and poultry

are the main things producted. ‘Not
