A Pig ShoWs Vito Way to Success





A_ Good Start 272 Farmmg 7; Made 53/ a Bay 272 1923‘ Team





IGHT years ago a forlorn little

brown—eyed lad brushed the sha-

dow of a tear from his eyes as

he poked one little brown hand

through the palings which" separated

him from his pig, gave his pet a final

loving pat and whispered a word of

encouragement to him before he was

whisked away to market.

The pig, a. fine Berkshire speCimen,

and the result of Vito Luciani’s 4-H





club experiment, had been Vito’s pet ‘





for almost'a year. He came near to

being a friend. But, somehow, friend-

ships with pigs don’t last. They ‘in-

variably end at the butcher’s. And

as the truck carrying his pet drove

out of sight, Vito made a decision.

This would be his last experiment

with pigs. Hereafter he would raise

poultry.



“That,” admitted Vito, “was my first

experience in 4-H club work. But it

was by no means my last. I have

been in club work ever since, and age

is the onlygthing which will make me

give it up”,



“Why?” he was asked. ,



“Because club work has done every-

thing for me. I shouldn’t have owned

anything if it hadn’t been for the 4-H

clubs.”



And a glance at the outstanding

evidences of Vito’s club work proves

his statement.



Vito Luciani, now 17 years old, is

a bright, enthusiastic 4-H club mem-

ber. He lives withlhis parents on a





118-acre truck farm belonging to his/





father. It has been eight years since

[his first experience with his pet pig.

Since then he has been in the poultry

club, raising Rhode Island Reds.

Starting with only a few hens, his

flock has grown until this year he

raised 1,800 chickens. For two years

he was Connecticut poultry champion,





‘Mr.





By Helen,





while last year his pen won second

place at the Eastern States Exposi-

tion over all other pens shown. Vito’s

poultry products alone in 1926 netted

him $1,000. He has now bought an in-

cubator and is going into partner-

ship in the poultry

little about showing, the art of bring-

ing out the best points in his calf

for the judges—polishing the hoofs

and horns, clipping and. brushing the

sleek hair so it shows to the best



advantage. , These





 





business with his

father.



But by no means

has Vito confined

his efforts and in-





. terests to poultry.





Three years ago he

was a member of

a judging team

which visited

farms throughout

the local district.

At the home of

J o h n S w a n, a

Scotch New Eng-

lander, a tiny, in-

significant - looking,

white, wobbly calf,

just two days old,

looked saucily into

the brown eyes of

Vito. Vito gazed

back. He was cap-

tivated. He asked

the price of the

calf —an Ayrshire

heifer—and offered

Swan $15 for

it. Mr. Swan, however, took a. liking

to the boy, and presented the calf to

him as a. gift on the condition that he

would take good care of it.



Probably neither Vito nor Mr. Swan

realized the importance of this friend-

ly transaction. Vito lived up to his

bargain. He joined the dairy calf club.

He studied calves and their feeding.

That fall he showed the heifer at the





 





state dairy calf

Michigan boy, has won the 1927





ship and trip to the National

Dairy Show at Memphis. He holds

ter-fat production.





and all the other

conventions heeded

by experienced

showmen in “doll-

ing up” their en-

tries were myster-

ies to Vito. In

spite of this handi-

c'ap his calf took

third place.

But Vito learned

rapidly. A short

time later his heif-

er Won second

place in the club

class at the state

fair, and third in

the open class,

while at the East-

ern States Exposi-

tion with the same

judges as those

at the county fair,

against most of the

same .entries and

. the same classes as



at the county fair,

he took the blue ribbon, at the same

time winning the championship inclub

classes and making $55 in prizes. And

his calf has won the championship

ever since. All this from an insigni-

ficant—looking little White wobbly calf,

just two days old! Last year his

prizes netted him $105, while this year

he carried away $125 in prize money.



Vito now has two Ayrshires. His





 





club champion-





H omestead,





He knew.





aim is to have a poultry farm and a.

first class herd of Ayrshire cattle.



Sheep also interest Vito. Last year

he made his initial buy in sheep for

the sheep club, and he now has five

in his flock.



And Vito started one of the first

canning clubs in his state. A boy start

a. canning club? Sounds peculiar,

doesn’t it? But Vito did it, and it is

one of the best in the state. It came

about in this way. Last year three

girls—Betty Meadowcraft and Malissa.

and Louisa Schlagel—invaded the

dairy judging and the dairy demon-

stration field at the state fair, win-

ning places over all the boys in these

contests. With their honors they won

free trips to the national dairy show

in Detroit last year. The boys were

up in arms. It was unthinkable that

girls should beat them in cattle judg-

ing! Vito’s brown eyes snapped again.

He made another decision. He would

learn canning. And he did.



He started a home-making club for

boys in his community as soon as he

got home, and together the boys stud-

ied the fine points of canning. At the

Connecticut state fair this year, Vito

scored second in the canning judging

contest against 30 girl contestants,

making a total of 77%; points against

the 78 points of the champion. And

Vito smiles mysteriously as he thinks

of and hints vaguely at the 1928 can-»

ning championship.



Vito is going to Storrs high school

this fall. And his mind is set on a

college career where he will learn

more about live stock and the manage-

ment of a farm.



All these' things, the results of 4-H

club work carried on by an enthusias-

tic industrious member, prove that

the influence of club work is far-reach-

ing and immeasurable.

The officials of the Grange, Faun-

ent. A third group uses both of these

We are inclined to believe that the

third plan has the greater advantage,

for it gives opportunity for the devel-

opment of local leadership, an ind-

spensable requirement for every pr

same time it brings to local people

outside viewpoints, another important

thin gs agricultural

meme naturally discussed consider-ably.

it was the general opinion that agri-

mfltm‘a‘l conditions were an the up-

grade and that land values would con-

tinue to improve.

generally better tone to immimg. The

.good wheat and hay crops and. the

corn yields in many places have been

quite profitable. This immeni

has expressed itself in an increase in

the demand for land and also a cor-

responding increase in the mice that

farmers are willing to :pay for land.

For the last few months farmers have

been buying land in the Dakotas.

southern Minnesota, western Iowa

and Nebraska and are paying prices

equal to those which one-veiled before

the war.



fl‘his is good news as the sections

referred to were among those most

seriously affected by the agricultural

deflation. Others who have studied

the situation are of the same opinion

as these bankers, that agriculture is

on the road to better times.

farmer’s problems today rests with a

if this be a wise policy to follow, its

promotion is bound to the met with

serious handicaps. The whole ten

tion. The old program of weaving,

family labor or apprentices. Today

ibis work is done almost exclusively

in large plants scientifically planned,

proprietor’s home or shop largely with

abundant power to supplement labor.



Possibly this change is not for the

better; but if the proposition to return

no‘ question as to the verdict.

FEWdaysago





Country ‘ our medical ad-

D r, visor received a let-



. to:- from a. farmer’s

W wife who is to mother

her first child in a



few months. She lives same fifty





miles from a hospital, and the only

doctor in the " community refuses to





come at night or on Sunday, charges ‘





ermfiitamtly, and “is drunk so much

at the time that it is hardly safe to

depend on him.” The other nearest

doctors are located fifty miles west,

filmy south, thirty-five north and

thirteen east '



This is a desperate situation and

one that is all too common. A few

small towns have .fiound a solution to

the situation in the employment of a

community doctor.

communities could .join with their

trading town in an arrangement of

this kind to the advantage of all. This

gives the people .a chance to pick

their doctor, and a little .to say about

the fees and the service.



But before this can :be done, it is

necessary to find .a doctor who will

contract to undertake .a M of this

kind. Here a little of (the missionary

spirit seemingly is requined. May it

not .«be that some of our mothers will

deviouatly raise some who will be dedi-

cated to the work of a medical mis-

sionary right here in rural America.

Certainly under present conditions

this would be quite as noble and

heroic as other missionary enter-

prises.

Checking Up

While the successes and failures of

the gardening season which is now

coming to a close arefresh in your

mind, it may be well to check up on

them. If you have discovered a par-

ticularly happy combination in com—

panion or succession cropping, make

a note of it so the experiment may

be repeated again next year. Jot down

the varieties which have made an

especially good 'showing during the

year. This and other information of

a similar nature will be really worth-

-while when the time comes to plan

the vegetable garden for 1928 and, if

it is net put down in the records,

possibly it may not come to mind

when needed. The vegetable garden

is not only a profitable venture for the

farm homemaker to carry on but if it

is conducted in an orderly manner

it can be made most interesting as

well. '

Sweet Corn For Home Garden

A few notes at the close of the

sweet corn season may not be out of

place. The variety Alpha still coné

tinues the earliest true sweet corn in

, my garden. Although it is not a real

quality corn, it is the variety to use

, if you want to beat your neighbor.

It has been quite hardy during the

three years that I have grown \it.

VALUE OF CULTIVTATION





 





HE Experiment Station at Cornell,



N. Y., has just issued a bulletin

which reveals five years’ work on the

cultivation of garden crops. The sum-

mary of this bulletin indicates that

cultivation is of value mostly because

of its weed control. Weeds are really

the greatest hindrances to good crops

for when the weeds were eliminated

the crop of beets increased 550 per

cent.



Where the weeds were kept down

by "scraping the soil the yields of

beets, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage,

onions, and celery were nearly as

great as with a soil mulch made by

cultivation and hoeing. ,In fact car~

rets, cabbage, and tomatoes showed no

increase in yield in the cultivated

plots as compared with the scraped

plots. Celery showed the greatest

benefits of cultivation, showing a

24.09% increase while beets show a

4.25% gain and onions, 7.29%.



.The results of this five years of

work show that~the important factor

in the culture of the garden crops is

to keep the Weeds down and that it

is really a waste of time and money

to cultivate when the soil is free of

weeds and“ has a fair mulch.

lt Way dzdnl‘ someone

tell us tbesefacts

about light plants before?





NEIGHBOR down the road had a light plant on



his farm, and Ellen used to come home from there

and vow she’d never wipe soot out of another lamp

chimney or pump another bucket of water —-— or furnish

arm—power for another big washing. Charlie com-

plained a lot that the lamplight hurt his eyes when he

had to study at night—but somehow I had always

thought that a good lighting plant was too expensive

for the average farmer like mySelf.



One day my neighbor gave me the Westinghouse

book. It’s by folks who pioneered in electricity, and it

opened my eyes on the farm light proposition. I read

dozens of letters from farmers who had put in light

plants and were 'glad to tell about them. I never

dreamed it was so easy to buy a light plant —- or that it

would cost so little to run one — or that it would save

so much hard work all around. Why didn’t somebody

tell me long ago?

Fada has startled both the radio

and the musical world with the

crowning achievement of F ada Har-

monated Reception. And this, you

probably know, is the effect of radio

armonization in a F ada receiver and a

F ad.a speaker, to a point formerly held im-

poss1ble by experts. To you it means that

F ada reproduces the very finest harnlonics or

overtones, as well as all the fundamental notes

of the musical and vocal scale, throughout

the whole range. Like the instruments in“ a

Well-balanced orchestra, each electrical and musical

function (yo-ordinates perfectly with the others,

resulting in radio realism beyond your highest hopes.

Any F ada dealer will be glad to show you what a great

advance Fada has made with Harmonated Reception.

But please remember that only a Fada Receiver with

a F ada Speaker gives you real Harinonated Reception.

SALE OF HXTURES.





Must any deed or written statement

be given when a building of any kind

is sold and moved from the property?

What kind of property is a house or

ham, personal or real estate? If a

house is moved, it seems as if it could

be classed as personal. Is the descrip-

tion of the buildings on the farm giv-

en in the deed? We know of a. case

where a house was moved from prop-

erty and the person who moved the

house claimed that it was given to him.

How are they going to prove to Whom

it belongs ?—-‘Sub‘scr.iber. J



Buildings, trees, and growing crops

belonging to the owner of the land are





' real property. Our supreme court has





held that deals of standing timber is

a contract for the sale of an interest

in land within the, meaning of the

statute of frauds and therefore void if

not in writing and signed by the par—

ties; and no doubt the same would be

held regarding the sale of a building.

If the building belongs to a tenant,

with the right of removal, no doubt it

could be sold as personal property.—

Rood.





HANDLING CROSS-COM BED BEES





Do we have to kill our bees, which

are cross-combed, if an inspector tells

us to? Is there any way in which

this matter could be settled? It does

not seem right to kill the bees if they

do not have foul brood—D. C.



It is practically impossible to trans-

fer bees from one hive to another at

this time of the year successfully. If

the inspector is satisfied that the bees

in cross combs have no disease and

also if the order to transfer these

bees was not issued early enough that

the owner had a chance to transfer

them, it is not necessary to kill the

bees. They must, however, be trans-

ferred to straight comb legal hives not

later than June lst next yearlif al-

lowed to be 'wintered through in the

present condition—H. M. Krebs.





BONDING ’FOR “SCHOOL BUILDiING





Our school district recently voted

to bond the district for $98,000 to re-

model the old school and build a new

one. Our valuation is approximately

$1,630,434.78. Can we legally_ be

bonded for so much or is there a 11m1t

per valuation? We built our present

school 16 years ago and at that time

it was said we could not bond for

’over $15,000. An electric company

and the farms around the little Village

bear the burden of the taxes, but a

few town people with cheap homes,

but a surplus of childrenvvote the

taxes on us quite heavily. .What can

we do in this case ?——S.ubscr1ber.



Public Acts 1921 N0. 31, provides

that “no school districts shall issue

bonds for an amount greater than

15% of the total assessed valuation of

said district, nor shall the bonded in-

debtedness of the district extend be-

yond a period of 30 yearsior money

borrowed.” By Public Acts E21 No.





‘45, it is provided that school districts





whose population exceeds 15,000 and

is less than 100,000, may borrow

money by issuing bonds to an amount

not greater in any one year than 5%

of the total assessed valuation, nor

the total amount including all out-

standing bonded indebtedness of said

district exceeding 8% of the assessed

valuation of said district. The rate of

interest not to exceed that which may

be paid on school bonds under the

general school laws. ' ’

PAINTING INSIDE OF RUSTY

WATER TANK





Can you tell me how to treat the

inside of my water tank for cattle

It is getting rusty and I_should

like to prevent any further corrosion.

—— F.



.Further rusting can be prevented

by brushing off all the rust you can

by the use of sand paper or a stiff





-. brush. Then, after warming the metal

up slightly, if the bright sun does not





strike it, give it two coats eithemof





ing to nearby strong stations. The

could not be the explanation.



Giving up the attempt and retiring

about 11 P. M., I glanced out of my

window .at the northern sky and won-

dered if I had not found the cause of

the peculiar fading, in one of the most

striking displays of the aurora. bore

alis or northern lights that: I have

even seen. As a strong display of

northern lights usually interferes very

seriously with telegraph and telephone

lines, in some cases almost putting

them out of commission for the time

being, it seems likely that it would

also noticeably affect radio reception.

At least the coincidence of quick fad»-

ing and poor radio reception with a.

strong display of northern lights is

worth noting. I wonder if other lis-

teners among our readers also noticed

the same.——D.

NE of the most fascinating

part on the diversified Michigan farm.

each breathe a heart-felt

prayer of thanksgiving that it doesn’t

fall to our lot to put in bolt 462 or





, to screw down nut 978 day in and





day out for a month at a time.



Just now, here at Ingleside, we are

devoting most' of our thought and

energy toward getting things in shape

for the winter months. I am leaving

here in the morning to get the steers

and lambs from our 600 acres of pas-

ture land located 85 miles north of

Ionia, near Marion, in Osceola county.

The stock has done unusually well

this summer and, with the prevailing

high prices of beef and mutton, it

looks as though this little ranch prop-

osition might show some profit this

year above taxes and interest.





Farm Work Well Advanced



In making the trip between Ingle-

side and this northern pasture land

recently, I was impressed with the

fact that fall work on Michigan farms

seems unusually well advanced. The

favorable weather which has pre-

vailed generally for the last three or

four weeks has made possible a great

deal of fall plowing and corn husking.

The fact that potatoes were a light

crop was another factor which re—

sulted in increasing the amount of

other fall work accomplished on Mich-

igan farms.



LaSt Saturday I took a ram from

Ingleside to a sheep breeder living

near Jackson and in the evening ad-

dressed the Jackson County Pomona

Grange. On this trip Wife and I re-

marked several times about the large

wheat acreage which we noticed along

the way. It seemed as though about

every fourth field had been planted to

wheat. .



However, going north from Ionia to

our Marion property I saw relatively

few fields of wheat. It seems .to me

that rolling ground, studded with

rocks and stumps. located where

transportation is a serious item,

should be devoted largely to grazing

with a minimu of regular crop pro

duction. Of course, in much of the

territory traversed on this trip, [pota-

toes are an important cash crop. Prob-

ably this is wise. .



Makes Money, Neighbors Whine



A Michigan Farmer reader living

near Marion had written me about a

Shropshire ram, so on my last trip

north I took him one in a crate fas-

tened on the running-board of the

auto. I found this man just able to

be out around again after having

been laid up for five or six weeks

with a very serious case of blood-

poisoning. This struck me as being a

doubly sad calamity, because my cus-

tomer seemed like such a well deserv-

ing fellow. I found his farm well

stocked with splendid draft horses,

beef cattle, sheep and poultry. He told

me that he \used nothing but pure-

bred sires on- all his stock and that

he had never failed to make good

money each year that he had been on

the place, although many of his neigh-

bors who kept inferior stock couldn’t

make a living, became discouraged,

and gave up the battle.



A week or so ago while attending

a farm auction, I talked with a farm-

er who brought up a point much along

the same line.





/





He named a couple of.

farmers in that community who were,

~outstauding1y successful from every

f point of viejr,‘ but Wm ‘01: to'say that





 





practically all: of their neighbors

.seemedr-Jeal-Ous and talked and ‘did

mean ings against them just be

cause these two men were prosperlng.

The farmer who was talking to me

rather took the hide off his fellow

farmers by declaring that most of

them didn’t want to learn any better

methods, didn’t want to see anyone

engaged in agriculture get ahead, and

were suspicious of anyone who tried

to help them and wouldn’t stick. and

be loyal in any worthwhile farmer's

organization. .





I couldnjt take this extremely pessi-

mistic view of the situation and I

went on to illustrate how the rank

and file of Michigan farmers have

quite radically revolutionized their

farming methods in the past few

years. When we compare conditions

today with those of ten or twenty

years ago, we cannot but note the

rapid progress that has been made.

lThe answer to' those who say that the

farmers will never stiCk together in

an organization is that they are doing

so throughout the state and nation

and that the volume of co-operative

agricultural business is steadily in—

creasing.



On Auction Sales



Speaking of auction sales, anyone

could have learned 'a lot of good

pointers on how not to conduct a sale,

by attending the one to which I went

last week. The implements were in

bad shape and not fixed up to sell

to advantage. There was no Sign

that any special care or attention had

been devoted to the horses listed on

the sale bill. The cows were extreme-

ly thin, dirty and full of burdocks.





Although, hogs were the most im-

portant live stock listed, no prepara-

tion had been made so that a person

could bid intelligently on them. Sev—

eral brood sows and their pigs, some

dry sows and a. boar all ran together

in a field and the crowd had to round

them up when the time came for their

sale. The auctioneer announced that

he would take bids on the pick of the

litters. I bid conservatively on both

the first and second choice, but

didn’t venture very high as there was

no telling what pigs went with any

particular sow.‘ It was pretty much

a case of buying “a pig in the sack.”



In wondering why most farm auc‘

tions are so poorly arranged and con—

ducted, I have decided that perhaps

it is because usually the sale comes

as the climax of a calamity or gradu--

al discouragement. Perhaps the farm-

er had died or become incapacitated

by accident, sickness or old age. On

a farm where no responsible person

has been in charge or where man

power has been lacking, things soon

look pretty unattractive. It is usually

some such condition which leads up

to a sale, so it is not surprising that

most auctions lack evidences of sales-

manship in the preparation of the

articles and animals for the auctiOn

block.



Poor salesmanship among farmers

isn’t confined to auction sale prepara-

tion. Most of us are far better pro-

ducers than we are salesmen. Clever

salesmanship cannot take the place of

honest production,-. but production

alone will not bring prosperity to

farmers individually or collectively

until we study and practice intelligent

salesmanship. ‘

by Linn Estell, Floyd Warner, ‘M.

' Eight Guernsey bulls were on ex-

' hibition, any one of which would be

a credit to a pure—bred herd, saying

nothing about using them in grade

herds. Two very outstanding Hol‘Stein

bulls were shown, one of them being

from a dam which made 933 lbs. of

butter in ten months. Four Guernsey

bulls and one Holstein bull, owned by

the Michigan Central Railroad and

leased to groups of farmers in this

territory, were also shown, along with

some of their offspring. T’hese bulls





' have done much to popularize the use





of pure-bred sires in grade herds.

informs us that he imported seventeen

new pure-bred sires this year and

three carloads of grade and pure-bred

opment in Otsego County in the near

years, landing plump into the midst of

a medieval civilization with a modern

job on its hands.



We scurried out of the way of, the

swarthy longshoremen who were un—

loading the boat and watched them

from the top of the pier. Like so

many brown ants toiling from their

quarry to their hill, these barefoot

Portugese swarmed up the beach from

the lighters, their heads piled high

with flour, lumber, cement, or cases

of oil, and then filed back “empty

headed” as Jim said, to get another

load.





VHE energy and clean shirt of a

' young man instructing a gang of



Portugese how to load a barrel of

lime into an Americam made truck, at-

tracted our attention. He finally gave

up and tossed the barrel on the truck

himself. Then he saw us on the pier,

sorted himself out of the melee on

the beach, and confirmed his national-

ity by leaping up beside us.



“You can’t get these birds to work,”

he growled. “They don’t use their

heads like they do back in the States.”



“There’s a woman who’s certainly

using her head,” said Jim indicating

a barefoot dowager in a Spanish

shawl, with a box of live chickens and

a can of milk perched precariously on

her head. She lightly sidestepped a

turgid Azorean grandee astride a don-

key half his size, and then turned to

look at him as she smiled and passed

on. _



“Yes, these people wear a ‘tub of

water or a sack of cement on their

dome just as easily as we wear a hat,”

agreed our American friend. “Look!”

And he pointed to half-dozen young

Portuguese girls marching gayly along

the street toward town, laughing and

looking this way and that, and each

with a five gallon can of water on her

head! “Just as though they had noth-

“And here’s free acrobatic vaude-~.





ville right at our feet,” said Jim nod-

ding toward a stone mason repairing

the sea wall. The young boy attend-

ing him was lazily balancing the mor-

tar board on his bare brown head

even while the mason scooped off the

mortar with his trowel. “That’s some-

thing Captain Phillips back on the

Humhaw is missing."



“Next to the cranium, the ox cart

seems to be the universal common

practically the only vehicle on the

island. ‘



One wheel always has to slide when

turning a corner because the two

wheels are fixed on a. big wooden axle

which groans in a big wooden bearing

under the body.



“But what about brakes,” I inquired.



“Oh, they’ve got four-hoof brakes

on these carts. If a farmer starts to

carrier in the Azores,” said Jim.

“There are at least a hundred carts

right here on this little beach. That

means two hundred head of cattle to

be fed, and a hundred oxeneers, just

to haul this little dab of freight up





 





town and it takes a lot of head work

besides.”

“I’ll say! Do you see that building





up on the hill? That’s the new cable

station our construction company is

putting up for the ’Western Union.

And, by actual test, those two little

automobile trucks will haul as many

sacks of cement up there as eight of

those ox carts in the same time,” an-

nounced our American friend. “Let’s

get down and look at one of ’em—«any

one because they’re all alike, and the

pattern hasn’t changed in a hundred

years.



“Incidentally,” he continued as we

dodged through the crowds, “these are

not ‘ox carts,’ because only cows are

used on this island. Fortunately, hoW—

ever, the people on the next island

will use only oxen and so they’ve

worked out a sort of Jack Spratt trad-

ing arrangement so that everybody is

satisfied. Here’s one of the carts.”

or three yoke of cows to make the

hills, and so when he goes down hill

he hitches one or two yoke on behind

the cart and then taps the cows on the

neck with his driving stick to make

them hold back, with the yoke tugging

against their head and horns."





We picked our way across the

crowded beach to the neighborhood of

the town pump where the citizens of

that end of Horta were gathered like

state fair visitors about a razor ven-

dor. A flock of small boys begged ci-

garettes from us and seemed unable to

understand when I, an American and

therefore certainly a millionaire, told

them I didn’t smoke and had no cigar-

ettes. We stopped to photograph a

black-eyed country girl riding a don-

key and selling milk out of two big

cans that banged together from either

side of the straw bag she used for a.

saddle. .

“It’s these young people I feel sorry

for,” philosophized- our American

friend. “Their fathers haven’t pro-

gressed in the last hundred years and

so there’s no example of progress for

them. There is the complete cycle,”

and he pointed to two scenes near

the beach.



A swanking young sailor from the

miniature Portugese gunboat anchored

in the harbor was good-timing some-

body’s sweetheart under a pepper tree,

head and a. patched ’Portugese grand-

pop sitting ”on a pumpkin which he

would be very glacito sea for so many

escudos.



“That’s all they have- to look " for-

ward to. There’s Alpha and Omega."





ATE‘R in the day, however, we de—"





cided that this young American enw

gineer was prejudiced in his judg‘

ment. He was working fon an Amer-

ican construction company developing,

there in the Azores, what will be the

largest cable station in the world. He

had seen the town of Horta and the

poorer laboring class of people, but he

had hardly considered the agricultural

hinterlands that made the town pos-

sible. He had overlooked the farms,

the backbone of the island, and the

true index of its resources and possi-

bilities. ' .



'This engineer had judged the island

of Fayal and the entire Azores group

by the town of Horta and had missed

his mark just as thousands of surface

visitors judge the United States by

the City of New York, that foreign

island of Manhatten which lies all our

eastern coast and is in no way

representative of the United States

as a whole.’ If an Azorean should, on

his first visit to America, simply

spend a few hours along the water-

front of Brooklyn or Manhatten and

then hurry back aboard his ship and

go home, what a sorry picture of the

United States he would have!





We weren’t to be satisfied with an

hour on the Horta Bowery and so

when Senor Avila, the local agent of

A. H. Bull & 00.,

“West Humhaw,” offered to take us

on a tour of the islanc in the little

seven-horse power macL‘ne that he

called his automobile, we: knew that

there was one good Azorean citizen

our pessimistic American friend had

missed. Senor Avila surprised us with

his beautiful island of Fayal quite as

'much as be surprised us with the per-

formance of his little European car,

which, he said, made from forty-five

to fifty miles per gallon of gasoline.



“Just look at that speedometer,

Jim,” I gasped as we reached the open

highway and were speeding along be

tween miles of beautiful hydranger

hedges six feet high. The indicato

was registering between fifty ar.

sixty!



Senor Avila smiled, and stepped it

up to sixty—and then he remarked in-

nocently. “That’s sixty kilometers per

hour. Five kilometers are the ”same

as three miles.” But his .busy little





.French car was going fast enough for





me in any language.



The beauties and resources of the

island of Fayal which we saw on our

auto trip, and our visit at our next

port, in the Canary Islands,-will be

described next week.

THE roof over your head stands between

protects your property, household goods,

hay, grain, livestock. It works every hour

of the day and night, every day in the year.





Gales of midwinter, laden with sleet, hurl

their burly strength against your roof when

the thermometer is below zero, grasping at

it with icy fingers. Midsummer heat beats

down upon it when men and animals seek

the relief of shade. Rains pour down in

floods, and always, the roof must stand the

stress. You depend on it. It must not fail.





How much thought do you give to selecting

the material that must meet this warfare

with the elements? What assurance that

when the job is finished, it will remain

steadfast against water and Wind, heat and

cold, hailstorm and gale?





You can tell something about roofing by

looking at it, handling it, but to a large er

tent you must buy it on faith. You must

take the manufacturer’s word. And fortu—

nately there are manufacturers who know

the farm problem. They have studied roofs

They have experimented with every kind

That’s the kind of roofing made by manuo

years of square dealing they have built up

the reputations men are proud of. Their

laboratories jealously protect that reputao

tion, and their inspectors see that no infer'

The finished product is honestly made to

give service, and on goes the Trade Mark,

the personal signature of the manufacturer.

It’s a product he’s proud of. When he drives

by your place he will point to it after years

of use and say, “That’s one of my roofs.”





And when you see that manufacturer’s ad'

vertising in this paper, you know the maker

backs it with his reputation. On top of that

this publication adds its endorsement, say'

ing, “This is a good and worthy product.

You can buy it and be well satisfied.”

“any good, 0r anyone else any good?

That is being asked .all the time.

“Why should that man suffer so? He





' :has {been a good man still his life. He

- ihas never done anything to merit such





affliction.” One may hear such re-

.marks almost any time. They forget

that suffering is not always retribu-

tive, that sometimes it is an honor

to sniffer, that suffering is sometimes

like the imaoe in which the. hardest

steel is made. Lincoln once said, dur-

ing the war, "‘11? there is any man out

of hell Who suffers more than 11 do, 'I

pity z’him.” Lincoln without suffering

wonderful In e s-

. sage that is ringing yet, through the

world. He was a married man, but

his wife fell into evil ways, abandoned

her husband, and bccame a nameless

woman of the streets. How long she

- wandered the bleak roads and :byways

of shamelessness, we do not know.

It was in a day when a man was per-

mitted with almost no formality to put





 





‘ away such a wife and take another.





But Hosea did not seem to be that

kind. He did not drop her out .of his

He sought her and

found her. I suspect that if ever the

parable of Jesus, of the shepherd

looking for the lost sheep was acted

out in real life, it was in the case of

Hosea. She was



“Out on the mountains, wild and bare,

Away from the tender shepherd’s



care.”



He sought «her, found her, and brought

her back home.



Hosea, out of the depths of an

anguished heart, {brought forth one of

the greatest messages of the Old

Testament. He refers to Jehovah as

the husband, and Israel as the bride,

and alas! he says, the bride has fallen

into sadly evil ways. Over and over

he pleads with his people, saying,

come back! come back! come back

Where Amos is the stern mes-

senger of justice, threatening the

judgments of the Almighty, Hosea

pleads with his people, in tears. That

great phrase which St. Paul uses in

his resurrection chapter (I Corinthi-

ans 15), is taken from Hosea: “I will

ransom them from the power of the





grave; I will redeem thorn from

death: 0 death, I will be thy

plagues; O grave, I will be thy de-





struction.” And the wistful, yearning

words of invitation are Hosea’s also:

“-I will heal their .backsliding, I will

love them freely: for mine anger is

turned away from him.” (14-4);



As a. general thing, reformers are

not considered good neighbors. They

remind us of our social sins, and of

course we do not like that. But 1

fear that without them, society would

disintegrate. “Ye are the salt of the





roarth,” said Jesus, to His followers.





The Christian reform-er may be a nui-

sance to his ,comp'lacent neighbors,

and they’may wish him in Timbuctoo.

But after they are safely and neatly

buried, their children will very likely

build the reformer a handsome monu-





19 ment, and deliver long speeches, tell-

“, ing what a great man he was.





You will be interested "in knowing

about a country preacher who was a

warmer add :3. story motical and [at

the same time a nary nnusual *type.

iCharles Kingsley was the pastor of a.





 





- ‘ HEN one has deep trouble, "can ,





 





small country church in Eversley,’

England, his entire ministerial life”

and I believe Eversley is not on the'

rail-road. Next time I go to England,

I want .to visit the place. When

Kingsley went to Eversley, his par-

ishioners were a dull, ignorant lot,

and there was much sickness. The

pastor would :go to a home and often

would get an auger and bore holes

in the side of the cottage to let in

some ventilation. He was deeply

moved by the condition of the poor in

London and elsewhere. He saw the

open sewers in (London, with dead cats

in them, and also saw the people dip

up :this water and use it for cooking.

{He wrote books that were read :by

thousands, and are still read. He said,

“:If a man living in civilized society

has one right which he can demand,

it is this, that the state which exists

*by ‘his labor shall enable him to devel-

op his whole faculties to the very ut-

most, however lofty that may be.

While a man who might be an author

remains a spade-drudge, or a. journey-

man when he has capacities for a mas-

ter, while any man able to rise in life

remains by social circumstances lower

than he is willing to place himself,

that man has a right to complain of

the stale’s injustice and neglect.” His

pamphlet on the poacher’s widow is

a piercing cry to hgave-n for ven-

geance against the oppressor. “There

is a righteous God, is its message, and

such things cannot remain to deface

the world which he has made.” We

seem to hear Hosea speaking, when

Kingsley declares, “For my part, ‘I

seem to have learnt that the only

thing to regenerate the world is not

more of any system, good or bad, but

simply more of the Spirit of God.”



Hosea said, more than once, that

what was needed is a new birth of

individual religion. There must be a

radical change of character. Only so

can the necessary energy be developed

to make good character possible.

CANNED FOODS





 





Please say if it is very dangerous

to allow canned foods to stand in an»

open can—S. T. B.





The practice of allowing foods to

stand in open cans is not good house-

keeping. After a can'is opened the

contents should be stored in a clean

vessel preferably of earthenware or

porcelain. However, it is fair to say

that the danger of a tin can is us-

ually exaggerated. The inner surface

of cans uscd in packing foods is.

treated with a shellac which is in:

soluble in ordinary food juices. It is

only when a flaw is present that acid

foods may attack the container.

RADIO Party would he ultra-



modern, and in being so new



leaves much to be developed by

the ingenious hostess. In planning

such a party, let the hostess personify

a radio announcer. In leading her

guests in games she continues in this

role.



For decorations, stretch a wireless

antenna across one room. It is best

to make the frame of wire and cover

it with crepe paper in the color

scheme chosen for the special occa-

sion. To this antenna fasten many

strings that lead out. to different hid-

ing places about the room, such as

behind pictures, under pieces of furni-

ture, and behind pillows. At the end

of each string have a sealed message

which when opened will describe

some stunt for the bearer to do, such

as:





1. Touch book inside and out with-

out opening it. (Take out of room)



2. Make a speech on the war.



3. Yawn until someone else yawns.



4. Put four feet against the wall.

(Use a chair).



5. Imitate three barnyard noises.



6. Lobster race. Two people walk

backward on hands and knees to a

given point. .The loser must pay a

forfeit.





If dancing is preferred by the

guests, plan your party for a certain

evening when your favorite station will

broadcast old-fashioned dance music.



Games to Play



Making a Radio—All bring chairs

to the center of the room, some may

be back to back, others in small

groups. There should be two more

players than chairs. Each player is

given the name ‘of some part of a

radio. The announcer begins to march

in and out among the chairs calling





the names of radio parts who must .





follow him. When all or almost all of

the names have been called, the

leader calls “broadcast" and everyone

tries to get a seat. The two left

f standing continue the game taking

turns calling the names. This same

[game can be played without naming

the players. Instead the players fol-

low the leader and march around to

music played on the radio. When the

'announcer cuts the music off, every-

one tries to get a seat. Those who

" fail are “it” for .next time, then the

radio is again turned on and the play-

3 ens began marching again.



‘ T Radiology





This is a good pencil and paper





game to play as a bit of relaxation

after dancing. The hostess,_ continu-

ing in her role of announcer, reads

the question as in No. 1: “What part

of a radio is an insect?” The players

must write down the answers and the

one answering the most questions cor-

rectly should get a prize. There

should also be a consolation prize ap-

propriate to the occasion.



1. What part of a radio is an in-

sect? Antenna.



2. Part of a railroad track? Switch.



3. Pal to Jill. Jack.



4. A popular Italian food?

getti. ,



5. A device for collecting steam?

Condenser.



. An alphabetic group of cells?

A, B, C, batteries.



7. Checks a material agency from

the clouds? Lightning arrester.



8. What a member of the feminine

sex is often called? Loud speaker.



9. What the farmer does to some

seeds? Broadcasts.



10. What a third party is in a com-

pany of two on Sunday night? Inter-

ference.





11. What young lovers. do? Meter.

12. That which follows the wed-

ding? Reception.





,The success of a Radio Party de-

pends much on the ingenuity of the

hostess. If you would like plans for

a menu for this kind of a party or

other suggestions and menus for

others, send a stamped, self-addressed

envelope to this department—Martha

Gole.





WHY I ENJOY THE FARM

By the Farm Wife, Herself





 





HE most important thing in farm

- home life in my estimation is the

ability to get pleasure out of simple

things. There ai'e so many joys that

await us if we can only notice little

things. Some farm folks never see

the glorious hues of dawn and sunset

which are the grandest views in na-

ture’s art gallery.



Our front yard is of hard clay, very

discouraging to work, yet, in this first

year that we have lived here, we have

started lilacs, peonies, flags and lilies,

rose, sweet William, and have annuals

like poppies, bachelor buttons,

nasturtiums in bloom. We bought our

annual ,seeds but the others came

from deserted farm yards and the

roadside. We want to set out shade

trees from our woods in the spring.

To me the one delightful thing about

owning your farm is that you can al-»

ways plan improvements for next

year. .



I have only one rug that I haven’t

made myself. I enjoy crocheting

round and oval rugs forthe bedrooms

and make hooked wool rugs for the





Spa— _





and

living room. Of course, we don’t have .





the money we had in town, and we

have to carry water a long way, and

have very few conveniences, no radio,

and I haven’t been to a movie in two

years, but we are grateful to have our

own home. .No worry over fuel here

for we have our own wood. No fear

that work may suddenly fail and leave

the family destitute. We have shelter,

raise our food, and manage to sell

enough crops to pay taxes, and buy

clothes, and put aside a little—very

little. .-



If an undeveloped country like this

can support one, I think farmers in

older communities should have even

more to be thankful for.—-Mrs. H. B.,

Otsego County.





 





POCKETS SAVE SPACE





 





OCKETS on doors save time and



space. On the woodhouse side of

the kitchen door I have pockets for

paper sacks, rubbers and mittens.



0n the inside of the doors to the

cupboard between the dining room

and kitchen I have pockets or cases

tacked up. Those on the dining room

side. are for silver; on the kitchen side

for kitchen ware. You can see at a

glance just what you want. This idea

came to me from a government bulle-

tin—Mrs. E. H.





 





 





Household SerVice





PAINTING NEWLY PLASTERED

WALLS





 





 





 





Will you please tell me how newly

plastered walls are painted and also

how paneling is done?——-—Mrs. H. L. G.





The only proper way of painting

newly plastered walls is not to paint

them until they are at least six and

preferably twelve months old. This

is because the new plaster has so

much uncombined lime that it will act

on the oil in the paint and cause

blotching. If allowed to set thorough-

ly for twelve months, this trouble is

not likely to occur.





Where necessary to paint a newly '





plastered wall it should be brushed

with a solution of one part zinc sul-

phate dissolved in ten parts of water,

and allowed to dry thoroughly. A less

effective way is to brush it with a

solution of about a pint of strong

vinegar to four gallons of water.

When dry, the walls are painted in

the usual way with flat paint, direc-

tions for which are given by each

paint manufacturer.





 





 





REFLECTION





By Dorothy Howells

It’s dreary in the kitchen doing, dishes all alone,





The house is‘still and empty, and there’s





just the telephone. .





Daddy’s in the field, and sonny’s gone to school,.-,





So all that’s left for mother is the housework, as a





rule.





Sometimes the neighbors call her up or drop in for achat,



But it’s not like having kiddies home, to climbinto her lap.



Now daughter goes to college, just comes home tWIce a year;

While she’s away things aren’t the same, 'it seems so cold and dream.

A mother’s life is far the best before her birdlings .fly; . -

When she can keep them in the nest and know that they are night.

That time passes all too soon, and one by one they go, ' '

Her life must lose its greatest been, for God hath made it so,

DEEP DISH APPLE PIE





My mother used to make deep dish

apple pie. Can you tell me how it‘i‘s

done?—Mrs. L. W.





It is best to use a baking dish about

three inches deep for this kind of pie,

for it does not have an under crust.

Grease the baking dish and fill two-

thirds full of sliced apples. Place an

inverted cup in the middle of the dish

as this serves to keep the crust up so_

that it will not be soaked with the

juice. After Seasoning, with sugar

and cinnamon to suit the taste, add a'

little water unless the apples are

juicy. Cover with a pastry made of

one and one-half cups flour, salt, one-

half cup shortening, and three table¥

spoons cold water. Bake in a moder-

ate oven for one hour. Serve hot.

i
I New Bulletin Give: Fifty Vanatzm fir Prepanng Spud: -

E eat potato/es every :day, and sometimes two or three times a day.

‘ To avoid monotony in serving them, the home cook should try new

recipes now and then. This department has just “issued a new bulletin,

“Tested Recipes for Michigan Potatoes” which gives ‘fifty ways 'of serving

potatoes. A few of the recipes follow. Copies of this bulletin are available

through this'dep'artment at five cents each. _

Baked Potatoes



. Baking potatoes in their jaCkets is undoubtedly one of the best ways of

retaining the flavor of the potato. To bake, scrub the potato well, wipe dry,

and place in a moderate oven for thirty minutes, then increase the heat until





 





done. When done, roll between towels to freethe potato from the skin, then ,





with a sharp knife out quickly across the top about one and a half inches;

then the ’same at right angles to this cut. Squeeze the potato a little with

the hand, place in a hot baking dish, and put one teaspoonful or butter and

a dash of paprika in the center of each potato.



If the skins are to be eaten, rub the potato with fat before baking to

make the skins more tender. ‘



Variations: With an apple corer, make a cavity in each potato, fill with

a small sausage, or a slice of bacon rolled. Then bake.



Stuffed Potatoes ‘4



Bake potatoes in their jackets, then cut the potatoes in two. Scoop out

the contents into a. hot dish, mash and season with one tablespoon of butter,

one tablespoon cream, one-half teaspoon salt to three large potatoes. . Beat

the potato thoroughly and heap in the potato shells. Brown in a quick oven.



Variations: Grated cheese over the top makes a'welcome addition for





those who like cheese.

An egg beaten light may be added just before the potatoes are put back





‘ into the shells.





Minced bacon or ham may be added just before the potatoes are put

back into the shells.

Make a depression in the pile of potato, break an egg in it, and heat in an

oven until the egg is done.

Potatoes Delmonico





Dash of pepper





4 large potatoes

1% cups milk





2 tablespoons fat



1%; teaspoon salt



. Peel and slice raw potatoes, rather coarse. Put in a shallow baking dish,

add fat and seasoning. Cover with milk and bake one hour. The milk will





curdle.

Variations: Sprinkle top with grated cheese or minced peppers.

Mashed Potatoes





6 (medium-sized) potatoes

3 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon salt

Wash and pare the potatoes. Cook until tender. Drain, uncover and

return to the fire a moment to allow the potatoes to dry.- Add salt, and mash.

Add other ingredients and beat until creamy. .

Home Economics Extension Department, Michigan State College.

One teaspoon grated onion to one-cup of potato is liked





Dash of pepper

1,4.) cup hot milk or cream





Variations:

by many.



Use two-thirds cup’of milk and heat in a hot baking dish. Brush with

egg white, sprinkle with buttered crumbs, and brown in a hot oven.



Beat one-half cup cream, one-half cup grated cheese, and a pinch of salt.

Spread this mixture over the potatoes, sprinkle with paprika, and brown

in a hot oven.



Add one beaten egg before heaping on the serving dish.

THE MINK’S GUESTS





OYS and girls always like games

and here is a new one I have for

you; It is called “Mink’s Guests.”

One player becomes the mink, and

must lie _ flat on the ground face

downward, with his hands extended at

his sides. ,The other players form a

circle and march around him singing:

Who am I, Mr. Mink?

Passing by, passing by.

Tell me by my feet

Who am I? Who am I?





As they pass the mink attempts to

touch some of the passing feet: As

must stop long enough for him to say

Perhaps no one in the Merry Circle

has created more attention than has

White Amaranth. Her unusual liter-

ary style and the beauty of her

thoughts have commanded unusual at-

tention. Her Home-Coming letter



’ speaks for itself. I, personally, was

curious to know the appearance of a

girl who could write in such an un-

usual way. I am sure that M. C.’s

would also wonder. So I wroteW’hite

Amaranth for a photo. You Will find

her picture below. I believe that you,

as I, are surprised. Just a real lively

good-looking girl who has applied her-

self to attain literary excellence.

White Amaranth and I will be pleased

to have your comments—Uncle Frank.





T is an oft reiterated saying that

I opportunity ;is never valued so

highly as after it is lost—quite

true. While I have always found par-

ticipating in the M. C. activities very

delectable, I must admit that since





 





White Amaranth





my age has excommunicated me, I

have awaited the annual Home-Com-

ing with unusual enthusiasm. I am

sure that we, who are too old, espec-

ially appreciate the Home—Coming,

since our exclusion from activity does

not seem so oppressive. We need make

no negation that the eternal doctrine

of compensation is ever with us.





I was very interested in the letters

on “The Value of an Education” which

appeared in our columns quite re-

cently. I do not think the value of

an education can be over-estimated.

The highest flights of genius are at-

tained by means of education. It not

only endows us with the best weap-

ons with which to battle life’s dilem-

mas, but also gives us a fuller, richer

life, a sense of contentment where

others might find boredom—and

friends!





And I am. thinking of friends to-

‘night. , The friends I have made

:through the Merry Circle. I like to

' think of friendship as a great smold-

..ering fire kindled in the midst of a





cold, selfish world, at whose lasting





embers, the hands of the generations

have been extended for warmth since

the dawn’of Time. Someone has said

that Friendship holds the cup called

Solace at the feast of life. Are we

not consentient with him? There is

no infelicity unbearable when a





friend’s shoulders share the burden.

Joys cease to be joys when they be-

_, I come solitary,. and grief becomes less

{ oppressive when we have the sym-





 





‘5 pathetic understanding of a friend.

7 .But too many confuse a friend with

acquaintance. We may nod to a

multitudinous group, speak to hun-





dreds, converse with tens, yet if in

age we can count three real friends

we may-be indeed fortunate. .



Occasionally we encounter people

who hesitate to make friends, repin—

ing that should a breach in the friend-

ship occur, the unhappiness would

transcend the pleasure that the friend

had brought into his life. But al—

though occasionally we‘may have a

friend for a life time, friendships will

mellow with the years, to be replaced

by newer ones.

hesitate to accept a bouquet of roses,

because I know . that inevitably a

withered handful of vegetation would

remain where once was beauty which

emitted so exotic a redolence? Let us

understand then, that Friendship is

Nature’s greatest masterpiece, the

high quality of the soul.



Education then, not only is a key

success, but its philosophy guides us

into a life so rich in diflerent exper-

iences, a life containing so many op-

portunities for obtaining new friends

in different walks of life, that these

experiences alone seem almost worth

the while.



With sincerest wishes. for the pro-

gress of the Merry Circle, from

“White Amaranth,” Dorothy L. Shoe-

maker.





 





Your letter caused me no small

amount of surprise today. First, I





Even so, would I '





was almost inclined to .think that it

may be a letter of censure since my





Home-Coming letter was a little long,’





so needless to say, I was pleased to

allow my anxiety to subside upon

realizing that its contents ’was of‘an

entirely extraneous nature.





I 'thank you for your kind inquiry

concerning my health, and am pleased

to inform you that I have almost en-

tirely regained. my usual good health.



I have been ”obliged to, be contented

with confining. my literary endeavors

solely to amateur Journalism for the

past year. With the responsibility of

the household resting upon me since

mother’s death, I rarely find very

much leisure in which to write any-

more. Of course, it is a source of

constant disappointment—bitter dis-

appointment to me, but I am doing

the best I can, and earnestly hope

that sometime again I might be able

to put forth more strenuous efforts

and probably win success.





You have asked for a photograph

of myself. Really, I believe I am

going to enjoy the criticism of our

readers upon my personal appearance

better than that upon my particular

literary style anyway. I cannot help

how I look, but my literary style is

the result of my own cultivation. As'

I am sending you the only photo that

I have, that has been taken recently

(last May) I would be'very grateful

to receive it again when you are

through with it.



Thanking you for your kind interest,

I remain, very sincerely yours, Doro-

thy L. Shoemaker”





 





 





eons LETTER BOX





 





 





Dear Uncle Frank and Cousins:



Let me ask you a question. Why is

it that W. B. always eats his dinner

when my letter comes along? I have

written a number of times but have

never seen any of my letters in print.

I am glad there are so many nature

lovers, as I am one too. I love flowers,

birds and music. It seems most too

bad to have the cold weather come to

drive the birds away, doesn’t it? Well,

this is all I will write this time as I

suppose this letter will go where all

the rest did. ——-Bashful.



Many ask the same question as you

do. The only answer I can give is

that I try to print the letters I think

will be most interesting to our read-

ers. The others are given to W. B.

who enjoys them. To have the birds

leave in winter makes us appreciate

them all the more in spring. '





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



Now as Tom Marshall has given me

a piece of his mind, I will give him

a piece of mine. Tom, yen have the

wrong opinion of me. Just because I

said that crows and hawks should be

killed, you thought that I meant other

birds too. But I didn’t. I am for the

birds. I try to protect the song and





insectivous birds all I can by putting »





up bird houses for them in the spring.

But I do not protect the hawks and

crows. Hawks and crows do hundreds

of dollars worth of damage every year.

They may eat insects and mice, but

not enough to pay for the damage

they do.



Yes, I have studied biology and

thought that I did a pretty good job

of it. I have also learned a lot about

the birds by experience I have found





out that crows will dig out (in the .





spring of the year) such seeds that

are planted in the ground: corn, pump-

kin, squash, watermelon, muskmelon

and cucumber. They dig the seeds out,





eat the inside and leave the hulls on

.top of the ground. Do you call this





some of the good they I don’t





 





pests. As to hawks they kill small

birds and chickens, also attack small

animals such as rabbits, etc. I don’t





call that very much goOd thet they do. ..





 





and that is why I say let’s kill the.





Yes, Christine, there is a difference

between butterflies and moths in two

ways—in the wings and in the bodies.

The moths have larger wings and

bodies than the butterflies. The but-

terflies fly in the daytime and the

moths at night, so that is why you

never see many moths.



I have studied butterflies and moths

very much and find it very interesting.

I collect butterflies and moths in the

summer, and make collections of them

for myself. I have three large col-





.is one great beauty!





‘ "





lections of butterflies and moths al- ’

ready, and hope to make more in the





future. -—-Harold Snyder.



I; judged from your letters that you

have made quite a study of insects

and birds. It is uninteresting study.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:



It has been such a terribly long

time since I wmte to you last, but I

still feel that I am not a straxiger to

Our Page. I’ll never feel that way.



I am now going to dear. old Gaylord

High after what seemed a very short

vacation. I am a Freshman this year.



I certainly agree with. Christine

Zeoh on evolution. 1, too, believe that

God created everyone and everything

although I can 't shake my dumb black

head because my head is brown—but

that’s not saying it isn’t dumb by a

long way I don’t see any use in dis-

cussing evolution because everyone

ought to know that we surely never

descended from monkeys. Let’s dis-

cuss a new topic like what kind of

books we like best or the beauties we

see each day of our life.



Most folks don’t stop to see any

beauty as they go along in life. They

generally see the sad things and not

the beautiful things. Why, life itself

'Isn't it great to

live and isn’t our life beautiful? Then

too, there are the material things that

are beautiful. Did you ever stop» to

notice the beauty even in a weed?

Birds of different species are beautiful.



Before me sits a bouquet of zenias,

marigolds, and bachelor buttons and

they certainly are beautiful. .. The

colors blend together so wonderfully.

Why if everyone should notice the

beauties they would all lead a happy

life. I am a strong nature lover. Even

snow is beautiful if it is inconvenient,

when you have to wade through it up

to your waist. One thing sure, I’m

no beauty even if my life is.——Matilda

Hunter, Gaylord, Mich, R. 1.





Yes, most things of life are beauti-

ful. It is up to us to see their beauty.

The world is to each of us as we see

it. Some have such a poor vision of

life that they see a distorted world.





 





Dear Uncle Frank:

Aslam‘aM.C.Imayaswell be





'a “sport” and write occasionally. I





wish I could write as well as some

members do. Many of the letters,

those by G. C. especially, are both in-

structive and interesting. Many of us

write just to pass the time or because

we think we ought to write without

any premeditation or purpose. At any

rate, those who endeavor to make

their letters and other things interest-

ing are the sort who will probably

succeed.



The question is what sort of'letter

is interesting as well as helpful or in-

EARS ago the ancestors of the

ring-neck pheasants that dwell





-now in the agricultural sections of





many of our mid-western states, built

their nests in the open groves about

the temples of China. Later, when

they were imported to England and

Scotland, to furnish uplandshooting

for sporting noblemen, these birds

built their nests on the open moors

and in the fields.



Here in America the pheasants have





kept the same nesting habits that .





their forebears found were good for

the pheasant family. Unlike our na-

tive grouse they do not seek the shel-





ter of woods or swamp in which to -





brood. Nor like the quail, are they





fond of brushy hedgerows, or weed- "





grown fence corners.





The mother ring-neck builds herd

soft nest of fine dead grasses in an:





Open meadow. She makes no effort

to hide it, Often locating it beside a

busy highWay where streams of autos

pass each hour of day and night. The

There on her open nest she broods-





in comparative safety, relying on her

what interests some, is of no practical

value to otherls, probably the majority.

Anyway, if a letter is well written,

that is, if the writer has a. purpose, it

should, and usually does make itself

clear. I might make a suggestion by

saying it ought to be our aim to im-

prove ourselves by trying to use our

grammar properly, making our discus-

sion or subject clear and also to im-

prove our penmanship. This letter is

far from what it could have been, but

I hope it will cause some to think it

over and make a conclusion. .



I like to read proverbs, and I Will

conclude this letter by citing a couple

that have nearly the same meaning:

It takes practice to make perfect, and

experience is a fine teacher. Does it

not take experience to do a thing well:

which results from practice?—-Albert

Peterson.



Your discussion of letter writing is

good. The chief thing is to have

something interesting to say and then

say it so others can understand. Prac-

tice makes perfect if the practice is





right.

NOVEMBER POULTRY NOTES





 





(Continued from page 458)

The hen which suffers all night from

mites has little reserve energy for

egg production. ,



Treat every hen and pullet for lice

before freeing the hens in the laying

house. Blue ointment or sodium

fluoride are both useful destroyers of

lice. It is better to kill them off at

the start of winter than to expect one

small dust box to keep the lice from

a hundred hens or more.



Examine the bodies and nostrils of

every bird which goes into

quarters. Isolate any pullet that shows

signs of .a cold. Destroy the culls or

they will eat up the profit made on

the good birds. If a‘fine appearing

pullet has alight cold in the head, the

bird should be isolated and commer-

cial roup cure or disinfectant in-

jected every few days until the cold

is dried up and the bird can pass her

health inspection.



If the pullets have become infected

with worms, they can be treated with

commercial worm treatments. If no

worms are found and the birds seem

in fine condition, it is probably not

necessary to dope any of the flock.

Pullets require feed to produce eggs

and some medicines may reduce their

appetites and greatly diminish egg

production. Medicines should only be

administered where there will. be a

sure loss if they are not used.



Db not place mouldy straw in the

laying, houses. Clean wheat straw is

the best. {It is not necessary to load

the house full of straw the first time.

the hens from the cold floor and fur-

ing disease. .



Sanitary fountains can be used \or

water pails can be placed on small

stands near the poultry house walls

where V-shaped roofs can be built

over them to keep the hens from

roosting on the sides of the pails.

When the water‘in the pails goes be-

low the half-way mark they can be

emptied, rinsed and refilled. . This will

throw out a lot of dirty water washed

from the bills of the birds while

drinking and furnish a new supply

A stiff brush with a long handle is

useful in scouring water pails to re-

on a handy nail near the well. Even

the best of sanitary fountains may

soon become covered with a. slimy

scum and keeping the drinking recep-

tacles free from such material in-

sures a cleaner supply of water for

the hens.

MICHIGAN'S LEADING HOLSTEIN

COWS ' -

D URING the year July 1926 to July

1927 more than 30,000 cows com-

pleted records in Michigan dairy herd

improvement associations. The exCel—

lent production registered by many

of these 'cows and the profits yielded

by them to their herd owners has

been beneficial to Michigan dairymen.

The state average for all coWs under

test in these organiiations is more

than 300 pounds butter-fat.



Holsteins are playing an important

part in bringing greater profits to

Michigan dairymen. Excellent pro-

duction has been experienced by some

Holstein herd owners and the follow-

ing table lists the ten leading Holstein





cows regardless of age according to

butter-fat production.





,too far. ,It is important that names

straps be adjusted to check the rear,

team just before it takes up all the ,

play allowed by the equalizer used. "

This may require several adjustments

to get ‘it just right. Usually these

buck straps are snapped up and of!

at the bridle rein and are left on the

draw rod from one hitching to an-

other. . \



If five horses are to be driven, the

two lines and the tying in and buck-

ing back of the four horses is not dis-

turbed. The fifth horse pulls against

the four, and if well broken may sim-

ply be tied back and jockeyed off to

the rear horse next to him. If young

and ambitious or if necessary to turn

in his direction, it may be ‘well to

carrya separate line from the fifth

horse back to the driver’s seat—I. W.

Dickerson.





 





 





/ 10 High Cows Regardless of Ag,





 





WITH TWO LINES





 





I would appreciate it very much if

you would explain to me just how to





' drive four or five horses strung out





with two lines. I always use four lines

but if it is possible to drive them with

two lines it will make it much easier

to handle the team and machinery—

A. K.



Most of the driving of strung-out

hitches is now done with one pair of

lines to the lead team, the rearieam

DRIVING STRUNG-OUT TEAM WILL ILLUSTRATE HOG SANITA-





TION SYSTEM





 





ARMERS will be shown how to



make more money from their hogs

in a forceful educational display which

will be staged at the International

Live Stock Exposition in Chicago,

November 26th to December 3rd. This

exhibit which will deal with the Mc-

Lean County hog sanitation system

will occupy fifty-five feet of wall space

in the International Grain & Hay

show room. It is being prepared by

R. G. Morris, Exhibit Specialist of the

Illinois College of Agriculture, who

will be on hand with assistants

throughout the show to explain the

lessons and answer questions. '



This system of hog raising was de-

veloped on farms in McLean County,

Illinois and has proven so successful

that it has been adopted in all parts

of the country.- The Exhibit at the

International will be based on the ac—

tual experiences of the originators of

the plan. It will consist of seven sec-

tions, each telling an important phase

of the story in a graphic manner.



The four main steps in swine sanita-

tion will be brought out by a. compar-

ison of clean hog houses, sows and

pasture and an easy ride to pasture

with dirty hog houses, sows and pas-

ture and a hard drive to the pasture

as commonly practiced. Three models ,

of hog houses will be displayed. The

materials for these cost the farmers

only $5.00, $7.00 and $11.00 per house.

' It will be brought out that on 314

farms during the last two years exact

records prove that 75 pigs could be‘



‘raised from 12 sows handled by this

(system, whereas it took 16 sows to

[raise the same number of pigs under ‘

ordinary conditions. Also that this

‘ plan‘reduced the number of runts to

only one among 86 pigs, as against

one out of every 8 handled in the

usual way. It wilL also 'show that.

~through proper sanitation it was pos- "

sible to produce thirteen pounds of

pork frbm one bushel of corn 9.3 cm

pared with the uspal eleven pounds. ~

VETERINARY





 





Skin Disease—I have a herd of

hogs that are troubled with something

like a mange or itch, although the hair

does not come off. Would you please

suggest a remedy for same? E. P.—

Lesions of the skin are frequently

caused by a digestive derangement.

You do not mention what you are feed-

ing. It may be caused by the feed.

Add a tablespoonful of epsom salts to

the feed for each pig, once daily, until

their bowels are in a laxative condi-

tion. Afterwards, give every few days.

Th? salts should first be dissolved in

wa er.





Lice.—How should one rid lice from

cattle? I have two bulls that are not

in very good condition, due to lice.

What would be best to feed them to

get them in good condition? W. S.—

During warm weather one of the most

effective means of ridding cattle of

lice is to clip them. Afterward, wash

them with a five per cent solution of

creolin, or rub them with a. cloth

dampened with coal oil. Feed clover

or alfalfa hay. For a grain ration, mix

two parts each of ground corn, ground

oats, bran, and one part oil meal.

Feed eight to twelve pounds daily.

This amount can be reduced after their

condition improves.





Caked Udder.—One of our cows has

a. caked bag. We tried’linseed oil but

it wouldn’t help. The bag got hard

about a week after the cow had a calf.

J. K.——Take away all feed except tim-

othy hay. Give one pound of epsom

salts. Milk out the swollen quarter

every two hours. Paint the quarter

with a mixture of two parts tincture

iodine and five parts of oil of turpen-

tine twice daily, until the skin becomes

tender, then discontinue a few days

and repeat. Give one tablespoonful of

formaldehyde in a quart of water,

once daily for five days. .





Poor Condition.———I have a horse

about eleven years old that seems to

have worms. The hair on his tail is

ruffled up and he turns to scratch

himself quite often. What should I

give him in this case? F. B.——Poor

condition is frequently due. to sharp

corners on the teeth, which prevent

horses from properly masticating their

food. It would be advisable to have

the teeth examined by your veterinar-

ian, and have the sharp corners filed

off. Rubbing the tail is usually an

indication of pinworms. Give three

ounces of turpentine in a quart of raw

linseed oil. 0r soak a quarter ounce

of quassia chips in a gallon of cold

water for half an hour. Wash out the

rectum with soap and water, then in-

ject two quarts of the quassia water.

This can be repeated at intervals of

several days, ’if found necessary.

exp01ts have helped to offset the de-

Canadian movement, and reports from

Argentina and Australia have been

bullish. In addition, the market has

had the benefit of investment buying

from interests who believe that prices

are about low enough to discount the

bearish influences.

able supply, including stocks in com-

mercial channels, is about 2,782,000,-

000 bushels compared with 2,853,000-

000 bushels last year and a five-year

average of 2,893,000,000 bushels.





OATS.



Primary receipts of cats have been

moderate and the visible supply has

declined for three consecutive weeks.

It now totals only 24 million bushels

compared with 48 million last year

and 65 million bushels two years ago.

Basic conditions in the cats market

are rather strong, but price move-

ments probably will depend primarily

on the corn market at least until the

crop year is farther advanced.





SEEDS.





Delay in harvesting and threshing

in many important producing sections





.has slowed down the marketing of the





year’s alfalfa seed crop, particularly

in Nebraska, Montana, South Dakota

and western Colorado. Prices paid to

producers average about the same as

a year ago and in sections where the

crop was smaller than in 1926, grow-

ers are inclined to hold for' higher

prices. Strength in the alfalfa seed

market was reflected in the firm

prices for red- clover seed. Offerings

have been small recently as most

farmers who still have seed are in-

clined to hold it until the spring

planting season opens.





FEEDS.





The feed market has quieted down

after the declines of a week ago al-

though the market is still unsettled

by the weak prices for feed grains.

Cold weather arrived with the first of

November in many sections after sev-

e1a1 weeks of unusually mild temper-

atures, so that consuming demand for

feeds is expected to improve. Good

alfalfa meal is steady due to the scar-

city of first quality hay. The tone of

the market has strengthened although

as yet, there has. been no pronounced





increase in demand, and prices are

expected to improve.



Chicag‘o—Bran, $29; standard mid-

dlings, $30; hominy feed, $33; gluten

feed, $35. 20; old process all meal, $47;

tankage, $65@70.





HAY.





The hay market worked lower last

week under the combination of liberal

receipts and limited demand. Feed-

ing requirements have been reduced

over a large area east of the Rocky

Mountains as a result of the recent

mild weather. Top grades continue‘

scarce and in good demand but con-

siderable low quality hay is arriving

at the diStributing market which is

difficult to sell. Farmers in the south-

west marketed some of their surplus

stocks of alfalfa hay during the fav-

orable weather, and offerings at the

principal middle-western markets were

overabundant. The unusually favor-

able October weather permitted grow-

ers in the southwest to harvest and

cure the largest fourth cuttings of al-.

falfa hay in recent years.





EGGSI





Receipts of fresh eggs at the lead-

ing distributing markets continue to

decline from week to week. Really

fine fresh stock is extremely limited,

holding the market on a firm basis.

Some improvement in quality has

been reported, although the majority

of shipments show a great irregular-

ity. Consumptive demand continues

to be wholly satisfactory.



Receipts of dressed poultry at the

leading markets are mounting rapidly

as is to be expected this month. The

market is flooded with low quality

birds which sell at a marked discount

under the better finished poultry.

BUTTER. ,





Increased offerings of butter as a

result of the unusually warm weather

during the latter half of October

failed to fulfil general expectations

but the market remains unsettled.

Top scores of butter are not abun-

dant and move readily at outside

prices. There has been some lessen-

ing in the use of storage butter al-

though withdrawals from the four

leading markets during October were

somewhat larger than in the corres-

ponding month a year ago.



Prices on 92 score creamery were:

Chicago, 4694c; New York, 480; De-

ttroit, 41@44%c per lb. in tubs.





POTATOES. ,





The unusually favorable weather

which made it easy for farmers to

market their potatoes recently at the

same time reduced the consuming de-

mand, and prices finally weakened

under the liberal supplies. Many

farmers apparently are in no hurry to

sell their stocks, believing. that prices

eventually will advance, and are mak-

ing arrangements to carry them in

storage. A week or so of real Novem-

ber weather would give the market a

firmer tone. Northern round whites,



U. S. No.1, are quoted at $1.50 to

$1.70 per 100 pounds, sacked, in the

Chicago carlot market.





BEANS.



The bean market developed the

stronger tone which had been ex—

pected with” the advent of cold wea-

ther, and C. H. P. whites advanced to

$5.40 to $5.50 per 100 pounds, f. o. b.

Michigan shipping points. Demand has

improved in the last week and is ex-

pected to show the usual winter ex-

pansion during the next few months.





WOOL.





Mills have been slow to follow the

recent advances in wool prices, but

they are obliged to cover current sales

of goods by purchasing raw material

and stocks in dealers’ hands are so

small that they are quite ready to

raise their asking prices and wait

until the demand develops. Ohio de-

laine, half and three-eights blood

combing wools are firmly established

at 47 cents, grease basis, at Boston

and quarter blood at 48 cents. Strictly

combing fine territory wools are quo-

ted at $1.10 to $1.15, scoured basis,

with half- blood at $1.02 to $1.05.





SLUMP IN HOG PRICES HALTED





 





THE average price of hogs at Chi-

cago dropped from $11.40 on Octo-



ber 13 to $8.90 on October 27. The

loss of $2. 50 in two weeks put the mar-

ket back near the summer low point.

This was about as much of a break as

was expected up to midwinter. It stim-

ulated demand and caused producers

to ship much less—freely, so that the

market has had a. rally of 25 to 75

cents, the greatest gain being on pack-

ing sows.



Unofficial estimates of the number

of hogs on farms, based on compre«

hensive reports, indicate an increase

of about 3.2 per cent over last year.

Market receipts in the last two

months have been less than last year.

Native supplies in European markets

are still running larger than last year,

so that there is no prospect of early

improvement in the foreign demand

for hog meats. Foreign lard trade

also is slow, but the domestic outlook

for lard has been strengthened by the

fact that prices compare favorably

with ‘cotton oil and that stocks were

cleaned up by November 1 a. little

more completely than some trade inv

terests expected.

Cows for Freshening





It is well—known that most cow disorders

have their origin in breeding troubles.

The terrific strain of producing a healthy

calf and coming through the freshening

period calls for more than good food and

comfortable quarters.





Let Kow-Kare be your aid when cows

freshen. No investment is so certain to

pay big returns. Instead of expecting

trouble, you prevent it—effectually and at

slight cost. Kow—Kare invigorates the

genital organs—makes them function as

nature intended.§Feed Kow-Kare two or

three weeks before and after calving—a

tablespoonful with the feed, and say good-

bye to worries with freshening cows.





Treating Cow Disorders





For all cow ailments arising from weak

digestive and genital organs—Barrenness

Retained Afterbirth, Abortion, Bunches,

Scours, Lost Appetite, etc., Kow—Kare is

a reliable home remed" Full directions

on each can.





For Healthy Udders'





——use BAG BALM, the wonderful heal

ing ointment. A great healer of the deli

cate tissues of udder and teats. Big 10

ounce can of this famous healer, only 60c.





 





Home-Mix Your Own

Complete [Mineral





With K-ow—Kare you can easily mix

your own complete mineral at a sur-

prisingly low cost—a mixture of rec-

ognized conditioning value. Simply

mix 30 lbs. salt, 30 lbs. fine-ground

lime, 30 lbs. steamed bone meal and

four cans (large) Kow-Kare. For well

under $6 per hundred you will have

an unbeatable mineral. Use 80 lbs.

of this mixture to a. ton of grain.

COWS on winter feed need a differ-



ent type of care and handling than

cows in pasture. Succulent, green feeds

are turned into milk with a minimum

strain and effort of the milk-making

and digestive functions. The outdoor

life induces health and Vigor.





Barn-feeding conditions are a differ-

ent story. The diet is heavier, richer,

harder to digest. Fresh air and exercise

are largely lacking~—but the milk-yield

must keep up. A slump means profits

wiped out. The cow must be fircea’ or





. the milk check disappoints.





Secret of Hea'Vy Winter

‘ During the long Winter months—When





your cows are subjected to this unnat-





eural strain of modern dairying—you

can gear up the whole herd to new





heights of production by the simple





, addition of small quanties of Kow-Kare

to their low-cost feeds. This great pro-

duct is a concentrated regulator of the

digestion‘and assimilation of milk cows.

It replaces the wear and tear on the

overworked organs of production.





“C Kow—Kare makes a reasonable forc-

ing process Safe and effective—helps

the cow to get all the milk value from

Nature’s foods with Safety to her health

and vigor. No need to pay out all your

income for rich and expensive concen-

trates which, at best, have only tempo-.-

rary effect on production.





Give Kow—Kare a real test this Wint-

er on the whole herd. Fora few cents

a month per cow you will reap a sur-

prising milk crop from . natural low-

priced feeds. A tablespoonful of Kow-

Kare with the feed one to two-1, weeks

in each month is all the average cow
