Mr. Nugent, who has always lived upon a farm, , follows a program of general production an d ‘dairying. 4 About 172 acres of his 240 acre farm are cultivated, forty-seven acres are ' in permanent pasture and twenty-one are covered with woodlot. The farm has been under cultivation for about ' a generation. Its soil is largely clay loam, therebeing altogether about 25 acres of sand. Like other good». farmers, Mr. Nu- - gent gives particular. attention to the improvement of his soil. That he may secure the fullest advantage from the manure produced upon the farm, it is kept under cover until taken to the field. This is done daily when weath- er Conditions permit. Each year a considerable acreage of green manure crops is plowed down and commercial fertilizer is regularly applied to the wheat and oats ground at the rate of 200 pounds per acre. Tile drainage also increases the efficiency of field ’work and crop production. Since the introduction of alfalfa, this farmer, like many others, finds . his crop rotation a little confusing. 'However, the main order is clover, corn, oats, and wheat. His alfalfa fields, which are handled separately, . stand from four to seven years before . plowing. The chief source of income from this farm is whole milk produced by a herd of twenty~nine cows. All but ten of these are pure-bred Holsteins. A sire of excellent breeding and -. great prepotency heads the herd.

I There is plenty of pasture for the summer and during the win- .(ter farm roughage, silage, legume hay,- ', and home-grown grains are properly supplemented with, concentrates and any needed minerals. The animals are housed in a stable fifty-four by seventy feet, which is well ventilated and provided with concrete floors. Work is facilitated in these stables by the use of manure carriers and a machine. ' Beside selling whole milk, dairy animals for breed- ing are sold largely to local buyers.

Har- vesting is done with the bean puller and side-delivery rake. The crop is 'often cleaned before marketing, and the cull beans are ground for feed, while the pods are used as roughage. His average yield of beans is nearly double that for the state. Alfalfa is another crop of tance on this farm. “I grow Grimm alfalfa,” says Mr. Nugent, “Without applying lime.

Among the conveniences in the home are a furnace, both hard and soft iunning water, electricity, electric power washing machine, sew— age system, septic tank, ironer, laun- dry tubs, and bathroom. Mr. Nugent, his good wife and seven children find time for vacations and entertainment. We observed a piano, guitar and violin and were informed that two of the girls play instruments. The entire family when at home at- . tends church regularly. By reason of his interest in com- munity affairs, Mr. Nugent has occu- pied several positions of confidence and responsibility. He has been supervisor, justice of the peace, and officer in the Huron Farmers’ Mutual Insurance Society, local elevator ex- change, and farm bureau organiza- tions.

No spectacular advance, ' such as occurred in 1925, is to be ex- pected, but, asthe season progresses, the discount under last year’s prices is likely, to become smaller than it has been thus far. Many growers are bullish as to price prospects and still hold title to a large share of their crop awaiting more profitable prices than, the market has afforded thus far. The potato crop of 1927 was slightly _ above the average for the past five years. Four hundred million bushels is the estimate of ‘the United States Department of Agriculture on Novem- her 1. This yield compares with 356 million bushels harvested last season,. when on a per capita basis the crop was among the smallest on record, and the average fer the past five years of, . ls. . the last big crop year. . :the- sixteen deficiency ' state‘s :is 25% larger than .in 1926. would grade U. S. No. 1 compared with 72 'per cent last year and a five- year average of ,67 per cent. Practically all of the increase of 44 million bushels as compared with the 1926 yield 'was produced in the southern early states which are. through shipping or m‘ the states west of the Mississippi. Six major late shipping states east of the Mississippi river, raised 10 million bushels less than last year and 29 million bushels fewer than theaverage for the past five years. Seven leading late states West of the Mississippi turned out 29 million bushels more than last year and 20 million bushels more than the average. In the states from which comes the bulk of the winter’s market supply of potatoes: 274,911, 000 bushels were raised compared with .,251 788,000 last year and 298, 879, 000 bushels in 1924,- The yield in late potato The 19.27 crop allows, each person 3.3 bushels which is only moderate. During the past twenty years, the crop has provided on the average of 3.6 bushels per person. Pctato prices are highly sensitive to changes in supply. The quantity consumed tends to remain relatively constant regardless of the cost. It is not easy to increase the demand when a large crop is raised or to cur- tail it when production is short. When the per capita production is near or below 3 bushels, high prices during the winter and spring usually pre- vail. A“ yield of around four bush- els per capita has just as surely been followed by falling prices. From 1916 to 1926, five crops gave a smaller per capita allowance than does the 1927 yield, the average for. these yea-rs being 3 bushels.

The resolution will’ provide that international disputes between Amer- ica. and other like-minded nations will be settled by arbitration or by judicial decision any matters that cannot be Settled by negotiations. About this matter Senator Capper says: “I propose by this joint resolution to test the sincerity of our profes ,sion that America desires world peace. We have talked much about the desirability of peace, but have done little to advance the cause which the people have much at heart. Noth- ing further is to be gained by repeat— ing pious platitudes, by uttering high- sounding moral generalities, or by professing to be devoted to interna- tional peace and opposed to war. “More than 10 years after ~the United States was dragged by cir- cumstances into the, most dreadful conflict in human history, half the world is still suffering acutely from the effects of that futile struggle of armed forces. It left bankrupt every ' European nation“ that took part in it. It Cost nearly 10,000,000 young lives. “ Is it not time that the United States, - as the world’s most powerful, secure, and pacific nation, should words with acts? . “The resolution I shall present is not a radical or extreme statement of ,‘American policy. It has the merit of putting into plain and explicit terms ‘the desire of the American people to ~ advance the cause of peace. What is .mposed by the resolution is treaties ; with any like-minded nations to forego and tempos resort to war in difficul- ‘tiesx‘arlsing. in the relations of the contracting parties; to submit issues \' ..

Coming from such a source, we naturally feel complimented. Had‘ it not been for the thoughtlessness and actually destructive attitude of this same class, there would have been little need for the enactment of this law.

The adoption of this “live and let live” policy will protect the farmers, increase the supplies of game and will give thoughtful hunters abundant opportunity to enjoy their sport. THE speech of L. J. Taber, Master of the National Grange, contained some meaty thoughts on organization. He said that only twenty per cent of the farmers of this country were members of any boni fide farm organizations, but that the solution of farm prob- lems would be more certain when at least fifty per cent of the farmers were organized. He did not hope for equality for agriculture through legis- lation alone, but with unity among farmers, the farm organizations would have membership enough to correct social and educational conditions, finances, and numbers sufficient to adjust economic problems, and Need of Or- ganization strength enough to get needed legis- lation. ~ The secret of success among com- mercial organizations is that they have definite heads.

I found a screw loose on the carburator or what you Call it and fixed it, so the bus is normal even after the garage man had it for a day. I won’t say he did anything'to it ’cause I don’t know, but I know where I kin get storage for less than $23 a day. And then the, other day I had to get a. battery and after I had it a day I found it wasn’t charged. I guess the fellow thought he charged me enough, so he didn't feel like chargin’ tho batterylalso.

URING the five years of the Mich- igan Contest we have been con- fronted With the eternal question of “When is an egg an egg officially?” We started out by considering any- .thing with a sound shell which was marketable an egg, and gave it credit for such. of the high records which were being established were being made by hens which insisted on producing small eggs. While the number of eggs which a hen is capable of producing in a year or in her lifetime is doubt- less the most important. factor in determining the profit which she will net the owner, the size of the egg is now- becoming an important factor in egg marketing. Last year the Michigan Contest adopted a ruling which had been agreed upon by the managers of the ofl‘icial contest. This ruling Consid- ered an egg which failed to weigh 18 ounces to the dozen from November first to January thirtieth, or 20 ounces to the dozen from January thirtieth to the end of the contest as unofficial, and in the Michigan Contest these eggs were not credited to hens or pens. The result of this record will reveal some interesting figures. Out of 197,796 eggs that were'pro duced in the Michigan Contest last year, 3,781 of these were too small to receive credit. This is a small aver- age per hen, being only 3.7 eggs. In studying the contest summary, we find that out of the 100 pens which were entered, one pen produced 349 small eggs and 1,794 were large enough to count. Two other pens produced over 206 small eggs; while seven- more had between 100 and 200 eggs. of this type at the end of the year. Only three pens of the 100 were successful in getting by without any under weight eggs; while ten had only one under weight egg each to their credit. The average of under weight eggs for the 100 pens was 37.8.~ There was no question that this sys- tem was doing a great deal to penal- ize pens which were producing small eggs, but it was giving no additional credit to breeders who had been suc- cessful in keeping up the egg size of their flocks. The new contest is, therefore, adopt- ing a new system of determining the value of eggs according to their weight. This system is not original with 'the manager of the Michigan Contest, but is designed after the Canadian system where it has been successfully employed for some time. In 1927-1928 a 24 ounce egg in the Michigan Contest will receive one point, 1-10 of a point will be added for each ounce per dozen over 24 up to 27. Eggs weighing 27 ounces per dozen or more Will not receive any additional credit, but will be given a value of 1.3 points. For each ounce per dozen under 24, 1-10 of a point will" be deducted, so a 23-ounce egg will receive eiedit f01 9- 10 of a point, a 19- ounce egg 1’01 5-10 of a point, a 15- ounce egg for 1—10 of a. point, while a. 14-ounce egg will receive no credit at all. The following scale gives the point value of eggs by weight: 14 oz.—-0.0 pts. - 21 oz.—— .7 pts. 15 oz.- .1 pts. 22 oz.- .8 pts. 16 oz.— .2 pts. 23 oz.—— .9 pts. 17 oz.—~ .3 pts. 24 oz.—1.0 pts. 18 oz.—— .4 pts. 25 oz. ——1. 1 pts. 19 oz.-— .5 pts. 26 oz. —1. 2 pts. 20,oz.—— .6 pts. . 27 oz. up—l. 3 pts. The 18 and 20 ounce limit which was used last year is not being dis-i carded, and in reports of the Mich- igan Contest this year each pen will; be credited with the total, number of eggs prodnqed. which will include the . We found that too many - the eyes. small eggs. Besides this figure will appear the number of under weight eggs which . will mean those falling under the 18 and 20 ounce ruling; and ‘in addition to these two columns will. be a column showing the number 02 points to which the pen is entitled. A pen producing. 2,000 eggs which: average to weigh 24 ounces to the dozen will have a credit of 2,000. points.

Mgr., Michigan Egg Laying Contest. CHICKENS PREPER PUDDLES RAINAGE around poultry build— ings is essential because obser- vation after a rainstorm certainly leads a poultryman to believe that chickens prefer puddles to the finest well water in clean. receptacles. The. soil around the poultry houses be comes more or less contaminated with droppings and after rain storms there may be many depressions filled with: water which is practically liquid man- ure. Of course it is not possible to con- trol the source of the water supply when the hens are onrange. But if the water fountains are always kept well filled the flock will not become unusually thirsty and drink heavily from the puddles. This will help to reduce the danger of infection with disease if the range is contaminated. And the more drainage the range re- ceives the better the chances of rain storms disappearing in a short time which gives the hens only a short period in which they can drink dirty water. Feeding snow to hens probably causes no trouble although they can eat the dry mash better when they have water to wash it down. But the farm flock which has access to snow may eat snow contaminated with drop- pings and that increases the danger of spreading disease through the flock. ——R; BLIND DUCKS HEN ducks have access to a, lake, pond or river there are no cases of sore festering eyes which later .may develop into blindness. The birds dip their heads deep into the water and the eyes are cleansed of any dirt or sticky feed that has adhered to them . Ducks without a natural supply of Water should be given their drinking water in deep dishes or‘crocks so that they can rinse out their eyes when- ever they drink. This also tends to rinse the nostrils and prevents the clogging with feed which is serious if the bird Catches cold about the same time. Ducklings sometimes have colds which cause a sticky discharge from The mucous can be ab- sorbed with small wads of tissUe paper and the eyes washed with witch hazel or boric acid solution.

The Rotary Club of Greenville had hung up a trophy to be given to the grower who grew the largest number of bushels on five acres. This went to E. W. Lincoln, Montcalm County’s premier potato grower who has been, improving both his soil and his seed stock for several years back, two fac- tors that generally bat strong in a year like the past when moisture exercised such a cutting influence. In ac'cepting the /trophy, Lincoln recognized that potato growing is a family enterprise in these words, “On behalf of my family and myself, I accept this tro phy.” His yield was 1,520 bushels on the five acres and on the best acre of the-five, he secured a yield of 337 bushels ,per acre. A few details of his cultural meth- ods followz'The field was mtwo year old sod, originally planted to alfalfa, timothy, and June grass. Generally, Lincoln merely cuts the hay down the second year and leaves it to replenish the soil with organic matter, but last year, he took ed the hay. In the fore- part of November, ~he put on 8 loads per acre of stockyards manure. The sod was plowed about the'middle of May, thoroughly packed and worked, then planted from the 9th to the 16th Before planting, 400 pounds per acre .of an 0-12-12 fertilizer was broadcasted with a grain drill and at planting time, a 400 to 500 pound .application of 3—8-6‘ fertilizer was The soil was dragged three times before the potatoes came up and cultivated twice with a two horse cultivatbr . and once with a single horse cultivator.

As the result of field trials, Moore showed that the sprayed potatoes out- yielded the dusted potatoes by 15 bushels but that the dusted potatoes outyielded the check plot by 50'bush- els per acre. Counts of leaf hoppers on the various plots showed 7, 9, and 48 respectively per unit on the sprayed, dusted, and untreated pieces and a month later thecounts were 8,30, and 98. The untreated plot was nearly dead while both the sprayed arid dusted plots were nice and green. He stated that the dust was more ex- pensive than the spray but he believes that the dust fills a need ,where the field is far removed from the owner’s home, where water is hard to get or .where the land is too rough for a sprayer. , .. ‘ C 1 A . .

If you turn around right -now and hotfoot back to the States you can carry the full message of the West Coast with you,” said Captain Phillips as we left the bridge deck of the “West Humhaw”. to take refuge in the dining saloon from the malariar‘ bearing mosquitos that had already r, come aboard. “XVhy, we haven’t even been ashore. yet,” I reminded him. We had ar- rived in port too late in the afternoon fer the customs officer to aboard, and we were lying at anchor a quarter of a mile from the sandy, palm-flecked beach of Bathurst, Gam- bia, British West Africa. It was our first glimpse of Africa. And it had been only a glimpse, for already the fleeting tropical twilight had shrouded the low-lying beach and hidden the little huts in the native village of Half Die. Only the strag- gling white stone houses of the few Europeans in Bathurst stood out from the blackness and the mystery that is forever in the background of the Dal'erontinent. “That handful of EurOpean houses and the strip along the beach is all of the Africa there is for you and me. The rest of it, those vast hinterlands of bush and desert and swamp, the mysteries of the ”jungle and the ju—ju that have made 0this rich continent the white man’s grave and the black- man’s paradise, those millions of square miles of forest and plains that lie beyond the narrow threshold here are yet unsolved. “That’s why I say that you’ve seen Africa, for you have seen all of that Pandora’s box out there that has been unlocked to anyone so far. You may make a dozen trips down here; you may come to one of these little coastal trading posts and live a year or two—- if you can—; or you may be one of the few who make an extensive ex- » ploration trip back even into the black heart of Africa itself——but even then you’ve seen only a flash. You’ve found only a hint of the life and the re- sources, the terrors and the beauties of the vast fastness of Africa’s in- terior. HE more we talk to those Afri- coasters into whom the meaning of tropical Africa has been burned for years the better we realize that our ambitious attempt to “see Africa" is as impossible a contract as our plan to see the world in a year. The Pilgrim fathers of Massachusetts and Captain John Smith of Jamestown pio- neered their lives away in America and yet knew nothing of the interior that lay beyond the borders of their ‘ coastal settlements.

The Four Horsemen of Africa— Fever, Jungle, Sun, and Death—ride rife in the bush and have checked the white man at the coast. Civilization is winning out, of course, and miracles have been wrought in wresting the resources of Africa from the grip of the jungle—sure signs of progress that seem to be welcomed by the whites and blacks alike-but there is a. big job yet. It is a long, long way from Cairo to Capetown and farther still from Bathurst on the west coast to Bander Bela on the east, eleven million square miles and practically every inch of it closer to the equator made goods and American shipping to west Africa is an item= of dollars and cents ‘interest to every American farmer and manufacturer. OR instance, the “West Humhaw” carried on this one voyage about 12, 000 barrels of flour, mostly for west African ports. Every. three weeks a similar ship,.owned by our' own U. S. Shipping Board, and operated by the American West Africa Line, carries a similar cargo from the farms and mills of America. to the west coast of Africa. We call at a dozen ports along the African coast, and at every stop tons of sugar, cereals, canned vegetables, milk, beef and pork, rice, and tobacco—all grown on American farms, processed in American mills, and delivered in American ships—are unloaded, to be sold and traded to the millions of blacks in the interior for There Are Practically No Harbors 'on the Entire West Afrlcian Coast and All Cargo ls Loaded Into Surf Boats and Taken to the Beach by Native: than New Orleans. SinCe the days of Pharaoh the taming of the Dark Con- tinent has challenged the civilized world. " I am-‘notwspeakin'gm South Africa, that older, temperate zone country whose civilization and development offer apologies to none. Nor of ancient Egypt, the springs of much of our own far-flaunted civiliza- tion. Neither am I depreciating the seven-league strides of progress that have been made on the west coast and in the interior in recent years. Roads have been built, schools, established, and commerce developed. Forkmiles back from the west coast the natives grow cocoa on their little farms and bring it to the seaports by the thou- sands of tons. Mahogany, palm oil, and manganese are also shipped from the African west coast to America and Europe by fleet-loads. And in exchange for these millions of dollars of raw products, the black hordes of native producers become consumers of American exports. As a. result, the marketing of [American their cocoa beans and palm oil. This country offers a tremendous market for the American farmer, manufactur- er, and laborer—and a rapidly grow- ing market too. Such commerce spreads civilization and increases the demand for com- modities of. all ‘sorts: The cotton farmer of our‘ South and the cotton mills of. the Southern and New Eng- land states are annually finding a growing ~demand for print cloth and other cotton goods in that vast trade territory behind the African coast frontier. There are millions of peo- ple to be clothed in cotton. But the U.’ S. Shipping Board’s little fleet of ten freighters, sister ships of the "West Humhaw,” operated by the American West Africa Line, is a voice crying in the African wilderness, for, competing with this pioneer American line are the old, established British lines and French, German, Dutch, and Belgian lines as Well. These tra- ditional merchantmen have been call- ing regularly and frequently at West Africa ports for years, knocking at One . the door of that vast mine of re— ' sources and developing their mm mar- kets and trade channels. These foreign. ships are, naturally, more interested in trading goods from their own countries for the cocoa, palm oil, and mahogany of Africa than they are in helping reduce the surplus of American agricultural. and manu‘ factured goods. And these countries have the additional advantage of own- ing. their own colonies in Africa while the United States has none. Thus, it’ remains for our own merchant marine, the U. S. Shipping, Board, to develop American markets in Africa. BVIOUSLY, this cannot be done if we depend for shipping on these competing lines. Great Britain, for in- stance, will sell to her colonies in, Africa, and all over the world as well, the Cotton goods made in her own English mills before she will come over to America and develop the mar- ket of our New England and Southern mills. And yet, just before the war. the United States carried less than 10 per cent of her commerce in her own ships. We depended upon our com- mpetitors for the other 90 per cent. And what am we doing about it? During the last five years the United States has built only fourteen ships of 2,000 tons or over while Great Britain built six hundred. This would not be so out of proportion were it not that the United States, with only one-fif- teenth of the world’s population, pro- duces half the world’s coal, iron, cop- per and timber, and almost two-thirds of the world’s petroleum and steel, and nearly nine-tenths of the world's automobiles. It is difficult to compete with a foreign country in selling these products in-colonies of that foreign country, when we depend upon that country for transportation also. Well, we would go ashore in the morning to peep over the threshold into the black depths of Africa and see what we could see. That night we, doubled our daily dose of quinine, tucked cur mosquito netting . closer about our beds, folded the hot blanket over our sweating tummies, and dreamed of cork helmets, dysentery, sleeping sickness, and cannibals.

Uppers of heavy, tough cashmerette —to give double wear. Lined with thick, warm fleece for northern weather. Tough soles with an extra red rubber reinforcement where the hardest wear comes. Bumper—edged for rough going on frozen ruts. Try and wear ’em out! The Hood name across the sole shows the maker’s pride in these arctics. Ask for them by name—- Hood Red Treads. Other styles for all the family offer the same plus value. Look for the Hood Arrow—and save money. " Blade by: Hood Rubber Co., Watertown, Mass. Distributed by: Hood Rubber Products Co., Inc.

We are having weather here which is much like Michigan summers are when not hot. Everyone here shivers and wears coats. For me it is fine. We have much rain although we have not had rain since I arrived. Another noticeable difference be- tween there and here is the servant proposition. We generally called our hired help, “hired help” or “girls,” hired-men and so on, as the servants are of the Caucasian race. Not so here—nearly everyone employed as such, is a colored person. We have “African” cooks, scrub-women, laun- dresses, etc. Here, too, the word “here” is “heah” and other noticeable changes in speech. “You all” is used a great deaL After I have been here longer I will probably be able to write pages if I have time.

It makes those pictures that the M. C.’s draw of you appear all the more funny. I laugh especially'lover those that think you are a big fat man with a mustache._ Uncle, I heard a statement made the other day that love and romance are dead. Do you believe this? My idea is that the great love and romance that is‘ said'to have bound the universe are still here but are hid- den away by such fickle things as jazz and deceit. We have little or no faith in our fellowmen because we are afraid of being betrayed by them. Love is like a great light that has been darkened and hidden from this world by wicked deeds of men. It has been pushed aside by things of less value. Because it is hidden away is no sign that it doesn’t exist. It is buried deep and we must hunt to find it. The more and longer we seek for it the greater it will appear when we find it. I believe the keynote to love is trust. With trust will come happi- ness. With happiness, success, the thing every man and woman are look- ing for. With best wishes for the suc- cess of the M. C. page, I remain.— “Wildflower.” 'Yes, and I am glad I Saw you. I have just as great a. curiosity to see M. C.’s I have learned to know by mail as they have to see me. I think the world is full of love and romance and will ever be. Even the wicked deeds of men cannot hide love., I am glad you are glad to come home. Our Letter ng Dear Uncle Frank: Mary Shoemaker wrote a very nice‘ letter and here’s one who perfectly agrees with her. This argument of schools is very interesting. I’m for it absolutely. It broadens your outlook on life. There was one mother who said that her sons were very well off and went only through the eighth grade. My say is, think what they would be if they were educated. Did you ever see a really very successful man that did not have an education? Let’s argue over something new. Take for instance “punishing crimes.” Resolved, there should be adequate. punishment for a person who kills someone who steals chestnuts, chick- ens, dueks, etc. As for me, I think there’should. Does not one the Ten Commandments say, “Thou shall not kill?” Still you find many people who get away with ‘it.——Mayflower. I am glad you are for schools or rather for learning. A great many who go to school do not get an educa- tion because they Work for marks in- stead of knowledge. Sure, stealing anything is wrong. Some people get “away with it” for a_ while but even- tually they are caught. Dear Uncle Frank and Cousins: My young friend “Question Mark” has persuaded me that Uncle. Frank and his large Merry Circle of nieces and nephews are polite‘ enough and democratic enough to.“ ‘fenJOyfiemy ‘ 7 friend says, but .I feel moredikefigyr . _ .31 mg “tolerate”~—a short call from plain person like myself. ‘ p, - , , I am so usedhto hearing.»- doesn’t' she: ,stay74homeggflherm k «be- r’n , and culture. _ ‘_m are ,WhiSDering “Why doesn’t she stay p in the kitchen where she holes 3?” As a child I was always .afrai ‘to be natural for fear of being ridiculed but as I_grow older, I find that I do .not think so much'about' being mis- understood as I do about trying , to . understand other people. Although much older Merry Clrclers, I am more interested In their page than any other part of .the paper. - I have no, children of my own to be Merry Circlers, yet-as a Child and young girl my day dreams were of children instead‘of “fellows." My schooling was very limited, et my longing was always for educatllm Perhaps I mated it or else it was from an un- worthy motive or some other reason; at any rate, I have gained quite a » little outside of school. I sometimes wonder If ignorance may not-consist moredn ignoring what is in plain slght rather than in not knowing what Is out of reach. I have been inter- ested in the different views of educa- tion. I believe one definition of it is “a training of . the powers of the mind." If so, the different experiences of life are an education if we profit ' by them. Some one spoke of the people of today “going to the dogs” and some- one saId he had "known some very good days” but still another person said there were “no animals that failed to live up to their possibilities as many humans beings do.” Evolution? Well, consider it as development, each “after his kind” and evolution is certainly a law of nature. Just remember though there are limits beyond which they shall not pass. ’ 1 do not wish to outstay my wel- come and I will await an invitation to either come again or to stay at home where I belong—Susan.

Coats Nothing to Try A letter from Miss Damn Wright, ,Vernonia, Ore., has a real idea for 'chicken raisers who are not getting plenty of eggs. She says: “Late in October, our alteen hens were not laying at all. I started giving them Don Sung, hnd for ten days they still didn’t lay. But on the eleventh day they~ laid thirteen eggs, and it is wonderful what Don Sung has done for our egg basket.” * Don Sung, the Chinese egg laying tablets which-Miss Wright used. are opening the eyes of chicken raisers all over America. The tablets can be obtained from the Burrell-Dugger Co., 322 Postal Station Bldg., Indian- apolis. Ind. Poultry raisers whose hens are not layin well should send 50 cents for a trial package for $1 for the extra large size, holding three times as much). Don Sung is positively guaranteed to do the work or money' promptly refunded. so it costs you nothing to try. Right now is the time to start giving Don Sung to your hens. so you will have a good supply 0‘ fresh eggs all winter.

The house, which is nearly twenty feet across and six to eight feet high, is, built of large sticks, brush, stones and mud. In autumn, before, ice covers the pond, the beavers plaster the outside of the walls with mud. This freezes into a coating that is hard as cement, and defies the ef- forts to lynxés, wolves, or other prowl: ers to break in and disturb the beav- ers in their snug winter quarters. There is a dome-shaped room inside the house, with a dry shelf above the water on which the beavers can eat and sleep. ‘ AD CONTEST WINNERS HE ad contest apparently at- tracted quite a little attention as we got a nice lot of replies.

Such hens are sometimes found dead under the roasts or on the nests and the loss makes up part‘ of the normal mortality rate in a poultry flock which cannot be entirely avoided. Per- form a. postmortem on the hens found dead and examine the internal organs. That may give some clue concerning the cause of the loss.

COLD WATER DECREASES DAIRY ‘ PRQFITS » NE of the most successful dairy- men that I have ever known al- ways Warmed the drinking water for the milk cows. liever that clean, fresh Water of a medium temperature was abs’olut'ely3 essential for successful milk produc- tion during cold weather. One day I aSked the 01d gentleman why he was so finicky about warming the water for' the dairy cows. “Cold water chills the cow’s body,” he re- marked, “and more heat and energy must then ”be available in order to bring the low temperature of the cold the optimum‘ degree of warmth.” He continued: “It is more economical to warm the water by a stove or .t‘ank heater than to permit the animal, which is not properly equipped, to do it.” Several years have passed since I appeased this farmer by taking the chill from all, water drunk by his dairy cows during the zeroweather. However practical experience has gone this wise old fellow one better and proved conclusively to me that dairy cows would not only require more feed if the drinking water was not warmed in cold weather, but also will not drink sufiicient water to pro- vide for high milk flow. One of my friends thought that it did not matter whether the water for the dairy cows was warmed or not. Recently he told me that he was pur- chasing a tank heater because he was positive that “removing the chill” from the stock’s water would more than pay in the long run—H. O. H. SWEET CLOVER POISONING Please advise in regard to sWeet clover as a. hay Some say it is poisonous to cows and horses. Am going to seed my wheat ground. What kind of sweet clover should I sow, the white or the yellow? How much. ‘ should 1 sow to the acre?—W. S. P There have been a few cases of sweet clover poisoning from the feed- ing of sweet clover hay in this state and quite a number of cases in Min- nesota and the Dakotas. When the amount of sweet clover hay fed in this. state, is considered, the number of cases have not been very numerous. Onuthe other hand, there is no very satisfactory way of determining just when the trouble is going to appear, consequently there is more or less danger in feeding sweet clover hay. We feel that alfalfa’ makes a. more satisfactory hay crop due to the better quality of hay secured and the ease of curing. Sweet clover makes a, very satiss factory pasture crop and the acreage is increasing quite rapidly for: this purpose. It.-is also proving a very satisfactory soil improvement crop. I would suggest that you use the white biennial strain. since it will produce pasturage over a. longer period of time and has a larger root system for soil ’ improvement. ‘ It is customary to Sow fifteen pounds of scarifie‘d seed- -per acre. When wheat is used as a nurse cropp it is advisable to seed sweet clover"T in the early spring, as soon as the seed can be covered With the Spike tooth barrow. .

CULL BEANS FOR BREEDING EWES Would it harm breeding ewes or the spring lamb crop if they were al- lowed access to a field where there are several acres of unharvested beans ?——Reader. There is nothing. in the nature of "cull beans that would be harmful to the sheep or the lamb crop unless the sheep are injured by eating» too much grain or concentrated food. Animals not used tol‘grain sometimes are in- jured by eating too much when they “have free access to it but they would be more apt to injure themselves eat- ing corn or barley than from eating beans. , No one can tell whether your sheep will eat enough of \these .beans to in- jure them or not. [The probabilities are. that they will not. It looks safe to ’turn them in but they should be watched carefully at first and not al- lowed to eat too \much. tempt to gorge on the beans only al- low ‘them to eat for a short time the first day. They will soon get accus- tomed to them so there is little or no danger of the1r over-eating. This is especially true owing to the fact that they have good pasture closely. adjacent. a COMPARATIVE VALUE OF RED QDENT CORN Please tell me whether there are any tests recorded to show whether Northwestern dent corn (red corn) has the same feeding value as yellow dent.

On January 1, 1927, there were 444,- 000 horses in Michigan as compared to 605,509 in 1920‘, and 610,033 in 1910. For the whole United States there were 15,279,000 horses on January 1, 1927, as against 19,767,161 in 1920 and 19,833,113 in 1910. The Michigan mule totals were 8,000 in 1927, 5,884 in 1920 and 3,700 in 1910. For the United States, the figures for mules were 5,734,000 in 1927, 5,431,391 in 1920 and 4,209,769 in 1910.—S. P. DIRECT SALES OF LIVE STOCK HE increasingly large volume of direct buying of live stock instead of purchasing through the public mar- kets is giving the Department of Agriculture at Washington some con- cern. Secretary of Agriculture Jar- dine says that public yards are re- ceiving fewer and fewer live stock be— cause of interception through direct buying. Live stock is {being bought directly on prices fixed at public yards, and consequently the yards need an ample supply in order to re- flect a fair price. “We are studying the problem but don’t know yet just how many are needed for this pur- pose. However, any order relative to fixing the number of live stock in a public yard, such as a requirement that traders make all purchases through that yard, calls for congres- sional legislation.” BEEF CATTLE NOTES HE Detroit Retail Meat Associa- tion is urging housewives to eat less beef and more Such meats as pork and lamb. On the surface this may of the question forces the conclusion that recommendations of this sort tend further to upset the balance be- tween production and consumption of these products. 'Through the efforts of the Michigan Beef Producers Association, the one half rates on shipping pure-bred stock in and out of the lower peninsula of Michigan will remain in effect and not be discontinued at the end of this yean From a unmber of persons have come the suggestion of holding a De- troit Fat Stock Show. Nothing defi~ nite has been decided upon to date, but during the coming months a. strong campaign will likely be undertaken to The marking of prime and choice beef by the Government is increasing from mouth to month as rapidly as can be expected. If the ice could be removed from the see around the North Pole, the air in mldwinter would be about 27 de- grees Fahrenheit instead of being 30 degrees below zero. HAD ~'11 “mm mm... ‘. 1...? j; .

In all these tests De Laval Sep- arators never failed to recover butter-lot from such skim-mills. The butter-fat recovered in this way was immediately weighed and tested at the local creamery or cream station, and varied in value from a few cents to over a dollar. The average results from all the tests showed that the separators from which De Lavals skimmed the skim— milk were losing butter-fat at the rate of $78.00 a year. 50,000 People Saw These Tests More than 50,000 people attended these demonstrations and many of them were amazed at the separating losses revealed and asked for tests to be made on their own separators. In view of the fact that no effort was made to secure skim-milk from the poorest separator in each community, and that the tests were conducted De Laval Cream Separators and Milken-s Lost: $78.00 A Year By Poor Separators Proved It! under the observation of disinterested mple entirely in the open and above rd, they reveal a general condition. It has been conservatively esti- mated that 35% of all separators In use today are wasting large amounts of motorist—enough to payldronewnelavallnoelrort time. Is your separator in this class?_ To make sure it isn’t, try a new‘ De Laval. Trade In Your Old Separator on A New De Laval The new De Lavals are the best separators ever made—they skim cleaner, run easier, are more conven- ient to operate and last longer than any others. They have many new features you will appreciate. Liberal trade allowances on old separators of any age or make made on new De Lavals, which are also sold on easy terms or installments.

Wheat prices advanced 8 cents a bushel from the year’s low pomt .a month ago, with a two-cent setback in the last few days. The strengthening factors were fear as to the Argentine outcome, downward revisions in the world supply estimates, less pressure than expected from Canadian offerings and some improvement in domestic merchandising conditions. The eas1er tone in the last few days has been due to indications of a good crop in the Argentine, and cheaper offers of Argentine wheat for later shipment. Based on reports received to date, the United States Department of Agri- culture estimates the world crop, ex- cluding Russia and China, at about 100 million bushels more than last year. This increase may be largely offset by reduction in the quantity of 1 Hotel ‘ Fort Shelby Lafayette and First Detroit L Whether your choice be one of the many very comfortable rooms at $2.50, 83 or $4 a day, or one of the higher-priced larger rooms with a View of the city, river and Canadian shore, you will here enjoy a par- ticular sense of value. Every room has a Servidor. _ . Garage in connection. Car: called . 4 fir and delivered suit/tout rim-gt. miliable wheat in certain European countries and Canada. If this is true, ‘it is possible that world. prices have fully discounted the situation. The market may ..relinquish temporarily some of the advance made in the, last, month, but new low likely to be seen. RYE. _ Rye exports have fallen off recently, but some further export sales are re- ported from time to time and market receipts are declining, so that sup- plies at terminals promise to remain small right along. ‘ CORN. Corn prices have had a fair rally in the last two weeks. Reports that husking returns are. beneath .expecta: tions are more numerous than those showing an increase and some reduc- tion in the crop estimate in December is expected. Primary receipts have been moderate and the visible supply prices are not , decreased last week. It is much above normal for this season of the year but is smaller than at the same time a year ago. OATS. Oats prices have shown no indepen— dent trend. Primary receipts remain about equal to the commercial de mand, so that the visible supply has remained practically the same for the last month. BEANS. The pea bean market is holding steady with some stocks being held for more money. Red kidneys are easier and are tending lower. ' SEEDS. Business in seeds is small and little activity is expected to develop before the middle of January when the de- mand for spring planting usually be- gins. Alsike seed was marked sharply higher last week, bearing out the pre- dictions of many dealers who believe that prices will approach red clover seed before the end of the season. Farmers have sold both alsike and red clover. seed a little more freély"~ at the improved prices. Timothy prices have held steady although trade is 'very slow. Dealers believe that the seed isrelatively cheap and are in- clined to build up their. stocks. FEEDS. Feed prices strengthened further, last week when dealers bought ahead of actual requirements, anticipating their winter .- needs. Strength " in‘ grain prices was also responsiblefor the improvementin ”prices of feeds. Supplies of feed. grains and feeds this season are about the same as a year ago, according to the latest estimates of the Department of Agriculture, and hay is much more plentiful. The prin- cipal change;“in by-product feed sup, plies is the probable reduction of nearly 30 per cent in cottonseed meal; Chicago—B ran, $31.50; standard middlings, $32; hominy feed , $34; ”gluten. feed, $35.70; old process oil meal,‘34%, $49; tankage, $70; cotton- seed meal, 43%, $46.50. ’ ‘ . - HAY. The usual winter demand fior hay has been delayed this year by the unseasonably moderate ~weath‘er and the liberal supplies of local forage in many sections. Receipts ' at most markets last week were not large, but were fully equal to or in excess of current needs and prices weakened somewhat. The average prices of top grades of timothy and prairie hay are from $4 to $5 lower- than at the cor- responding time a year ago.“ Limited offerings of the better grades of al- falfa hay have strengthened prices on this hay and No. 1 alfalfa is selling at about the same price as in 1926. EGGS. Fresh eggs soared to a new high price for the season last week under the stimulus of moderate receipts, good-sized withdrawals from storage stocks and a- continuance of the satis- factory home consumptive trade. As yet, there is no evidence of any in- crease in the lay, and with cold . Lch Stock-Market Service . . _ . . Monday, November 28. CHICAGO. Hogs Receipts 46,000.
