Agriculture has become a sound business, depending
on the volume of its income, the same as any other business.
. . Fortunately, during 1927 conditions have been more
favorable for the farmer. His income will probably be
greater this season than last. Heis lookingintoa brighter future.
By investing this increase in income wisely, he can make
' the most of the Opportunity to build a sounder and more
profitable business undertaking. Advisory groups and agri'
cultural bureaus are available to help him, because they
realize that the prosperity of the farmer is the basis of all
true prosperity.
It is in accord with this general policy that the work of all
departments of the N. V. Potash Export My., is conducted.

From l‘NGL-ESID'E FARM—48y Stables Pm?”

 

N many respects this is one of the

in my opinion. I am not thinking
so much of the longer evenings
with a little more leisure for reading,
desk work and social life. Rather'l
Nam considering the out-door farm
operations and the daytime work.
During the months when Jack Frost
relinquishes his icy grip from the
land, there are always a multitude of
tasks confronting us each day here at
Ingleside that it often seems utterly
hopeless to ever reach all of them.
Only those things which we regard
as being of the most pressing and
urgent importance can-‘be undertaken
and the other things which we long
to do must bide their time.

But now field work is largely at a
standstill for most of us. Of course
on the average diversified Michigan
farm, many hours each day are con-
sumed by those routine tasks which
are embraced under the all-inclusive
and homely term “chores.” But there
is always some time during the latter
part of the forenoon and the middle
of the afternoon when attention and
energy can be directed to some of
those postponed jobs which have been
accumulating for many m00ns.

And then how much satisfaction

there is in getting the thing done?
It. seems that .the longer it had been
on the waiting list and the more.
anxious. you had been to get it ac-
complished, the greater‘the sense of
relief and achievement when it is
finally completed. Some of these
things require far less time than, had
been anticipated, but others. stretch out
and involve undreamed of difficulties
and complications.

Leisure Holds Key to Success

I have heard wise men state that
you can judge pretty well what a

young man is and what he will be'

come by observing what he does with
his leisure time. It is taken for
granted that he will do his appointed
task during working hours, but
whether he is to go forward: and-‘up-
ward or backward and downward will
be determined by what he does with
his spareptime. » .

I often think that it is a good» deal
like :that in the business of, farming.
Almost anybody can plow and drag
and cultivate and harvest when every-
body else is doing the same thing
and that is obviously what should be
done. However, many farmers seem
to lack a self-starter when the wea-
ther is bad or when there is a little
lull between the more urgent farm
operations. The farmer who efficiently
utilizes these days and hours that
might otherwise be wasted will have
the neatest and best-kept farm and
Will be in a position to get the most
done out in the field when Nature
smiles upon the land.

Of course the same rule applies in-
doors as outdoors and with the women
as well as with the men. The house-
wife who takes things easy until she

‘ A Bashful Steer

We are glad to report thatall of
our stock here at Ingleside seems to
be thriving and is getting'off to a good
start for a successful and profitable
season. We had one steer that both-
ered us for awhile. He showed evi-
dences of Jersey. blood both in his
appearance and disposition and stead-
fastly refused to come into the barn
and eat out of the mangers along with
the other steers which were all of
Shorth-orn breeding. For about three
weeks, I guess he. didn’t have anything
to eat except what he picked out of
a large stack of wheat straw in the
barnyard. ,

Realizing that such conduct wouldn’t

fatten the steer or our purse, I took .

this bashful Jersey lad away from'the
rest of the steers and put him, in
with our pure-bred Milking Shorthorn
heifers. In this new environment he
is beginning to thrive. He is develop-
ing a taste for ensilage, alfalfa,
shredded corn stalks and grain and
mayamount to something after all.

Last year we had two White steers.
the only white ones in the bunch, that
were so selfsconscious and timid that
finally we had to put them in stan-
chions along with our milch cows to
get them to consume a respectable
quantity of feed.

One of the things which we have
done during the past week was to
make a new manger for the heifers
and this steer that had been too bash.
ful for his own good. * ‘It so‘happene‘d
that the timbers and planks which we

. selected for this bit of carpentry work .

were about as tough and nail resistant
as one might well imagine. After
bending several spikes and using a
gimlet to prepare the ‘way for some of
them, I finally tried dipping them in“
oil and was surprised to find how
much easier they drove. Just as
cburt'esy smoothes the way of social
intercourse'and business relations. so
a little'oil on the spike seemed to
minimize friction and get the desired
results with the least effort.

'AST year 1,898 trained farmers
of Michigan received a total net
income of $266,772.94. This is a

rather striking statement considering

striking and impressive when we learn
that none of'these farmers were over
eighteen years of age, and that each

V, attended high‘ school from. nine to ten

months in the year while carrying on

‘their farm. work- The 1, 898 trained -

farmers mentioned in the first sen-
tence are a part of the several thou-

~- and boys attending the 166 Smith
"Hughes Agricultural High Schools

 

men are located in 66 of the 83

  

 

ally concerning paper agriculture and
book farming, will also be forced to

~acknowledge their errors- when these

figures are presented. They must
learnkthat, agriculture, which is the
oldest and largest industry in the
world today is" a. business and pro-
fession, and like any other business
or profession, cannot be ,run success-
fully without the proper training. For
this very reason agriculture is taught
in our high schools and colleges, in
the same manner. as engineering, law,
and commercial Work; is taught.

A brief explanation of the Agricul-

‘ .tural High School will show what it
j stands fer, and its importance in, and
tie its relation to, the present day agri-

culture in Michigan. In 1917 Congress
passed the Smith Hughes Act which
provides for the establishing of an
agricultural course in any high school
in the state. The course was to con-
sist of four years’ instruction in agri—
culture, ‘and those high schools which
were to take advantage of this agri-
cultural teaching were to receive
federal and state aid providing they
complied with the various provisions

of the law. That the instructor must ‘

be a graduate of a State Agricultural
College with farm experience; that
instruction must'be designed to meet
the needs of persons who are prepar-
ingto' enter upon Work: on the farm;

and that supervised farm practice, or

project work on the farm as it is
sometimes called, are some of the pro~
visions of this law.

The last one mentioned, the super-
vised farm practice, or project work.
is the one referred to in the intro-
duction of this article. After the
student receives the necessary instruc-
tion from the class room, laboratory.-
work, and field trips, he is asked to
put this instruction into actual prac-
tice in the form of a project during
the summer months on a farm. All
of the students taking agriculture in‘
high school cannot take project work
due to their fathers renting or other
labor which they may be doing, and
for this reason there are only 1,898
students’ farm projects in Michigan. 2
Some ’of these are larger and pay a

vanced slightly over
those for October 15, while the whole-
sale prices of non-agricultural pro-
ducts declined to a point below that
held by farm products. In other words,
the index figure for wholesale farm
prices on that date was 154 whereas

the wholesale index figure for 110n-
Qagricultural products was 152. This
is the first time since the war that

index figures for agricultural values
have gone above index figures for
other commodities.

One of the matters uppermost in
the minds of farmers is, whether the
agricultural situation about which so
much has been said during the past
five years, will, if left alone, correct
itself. This at least seemed to be the
attitude of President Coolidge in his
message to Congress last week.

Cows owned by members of

dairy herd improve-
ment associations. The cows owned
by these members are tested each
month for milk and butter-fat produc-
tion, enabling the owners to elimin-
ate unprofitable animals from the herd
and also to make improvements in
methods of feeding and care.

From a report by the Bureau of
Dairy Industry, it has been figured
that 360,000 of the cows in these dairy
herd improvement associations pro-
duce as much milk as 584,000 average
cows do, and return to their owners
as much profit over the cost of feed
as do 640,000 average cows. This
suggests some of the- added profits
received by the men who are using
.,.-int'ormation gained through the test-

 

ing of cows to éhminate unprofite e
producers, carry (in selected breeding, ‘
and introduce approved methods of

feeding.

The dairy improvement work Can-
ducted in Michigan has been one of
the fine contributions toward better

agriculture in this state. By weeding.

out poor cows it has been possible to
keep down the total production of
dairy products and, at the same time,
reduce costs to a point where profits

become attractive when compared
with those of other lines of agriculture.

Health precious jewels. As

the sacred holiday ap-
proaches, bringing with it the spirit of
giving, we are privileged to bring this
rare gift in part to more than 125,000
people by sealing our Christmas gifts
to' our friends with Christmas health
seals issued by the National Tubercu-
10sis Association.

The entire work of this association
is supported by the annual sale of
these Christmas seals. It is gratifying
to know that ninety-five cents of every
dollar raised by the sale of these seals
is spent within the state to combat
the dread disease of tuberculosis.
This money, too, is being spent where
it shows good results. Since the first
Christmas seals were sold, the num-
ber of deaths from'tuberculosis in the
United States has dropped from two
hundred to less than ninety in every
100,000. In other words,
125,000 people will enjoy Christmas
dinner with their family and friends
this year who would have died in the
past year if the death rate of tubercu-
losis had remained unchanged. Is this
not sufficient reason that this year we
give our bit to the cause of better
health?

NEWS item last

The Cost week gave the

f C informationwthat fifty-
o are- one people were killed
lessness by automobiles in the

city of Detroit, during
the month of November.

In 1911 the auto death rate was less
than tivo per hundred thousand popu-
lation while in 1926 it was nearly
twenty-five per hundred thousand popu-
lation. This shows that some are pay-
ing the price for the great conven-
ience of travel we get from the auto-
mobile. And now, with the speed
limit off and the making of all cars
so that they 'will run fifty to sixty
miles per hour, the dangers of the
road will become even greater.

The automobile’s popularity has put
a' powerful machine into the hands of
many people who are not qualified to
handle it Withjudgment. The in-
creasing congestion of the roads and
the higher speeds travelled makes
necessary a more thorough examina-
tion of those who are to handle cars.
It needs clear-minded drivers with
judgment behind steering wheels to
stop the slaughter of the innocents.

money expended by
the consuming public goes for agri~
cultural products. The Chamber of
Commerce of the United State investi-
gated the habits of spending in several
large cities, of which the results from
Baltimore, Denver, and Syracuse are
available.

This report shows that of the retail
dollar Denver people spend 28 cents
for food, 24 cents for clothing, 14 cents
for automobiles and nine cents for
house furnishings. Syracuse spends

27 cents for food, 22 for clothing, 17-

for automobiles, and seven for house
furnishings. 1 Baltimore pays 31. cents

of its spending dollar for food, 20 for

They are more active now and have less
tendency to gorge themselves. This is
shown in the consumption statistics.
For instance the per capita. consump-
tion of wheat flour in 1889 ‘was 1.149
barrels per annum; in 1923, it was
0.891 Corn meal dropped from 0.597
barrels in 1889 to 0.139 in 1923. The
consumption of beef was 77.5 pounds
each year per Capita in 1907; in 1926
it was 63.4. The ‘total meat consump-
tion per annum per capita was 159
pounds in 1907 and 142.8 pounds in
1926.

The tendency is for a decreasing
per capita expenditure for food, espe-
'cially grain and meat products, with
perhaps a slight increase in fruits,
vegetable products, and milk. -»An in-
creasing amount will be spent for the
pleasure-giving things of life as the
consuming public generally has more
time to indulge in pleasure.

But, withall, this should not be a.
note of discouragement to the farmer,
for the consuming public will continue
to grow larger in proportion to the
producers of the food supply.

fered. This type of surplus occurs
most frequently in the case of perish-
able products and can be adjusted in
part, at least, through a better knowl-
edg from day to day of the market
needs.

But long-time surpluses create a. dif-
ferent situation. These occur in the
marketing of staple products. It is
this type of surplus that constitutes
the sore spot in agriculture today. It
cannot be settled alone through the
control of surpluses by dumping or
by developing marketing organiza-
tions. In its solution there must be
a. readjustment in the relation of pro-
duction to consumption. That adjust-
ment may require the introduction of
new crops or different uses for a por-
tion of the land, or the expansion of
markets both at home and abroad.

The unfortunate thing about dealing
with surpluses is'that producers suffer
too severely from the losses which
ensue. Losses, however, may be the
only practical means of discouraging
the production of Surpluses. But, the
mind of the American farmer will not
be fully set at rest until some prac-
tical effort has been. made to bring
about a more satisfactory adjustment
between the supply and demand of
staple agriculture products.

, THE
MKSTER FARMERS

(Continued from page 583)
production of! wool that cow testing
provides for the dairyman. Besides
«his activity in breeding work, Mr.
Moore has taken a leading part in
local farm organizations, particularly
in the Farmers’ Club.

Just. outside the city of Grand
Rapids in Kent County is the .inten-
sively cultivated fruit farm of J. Pom-
eroy Munson. His income is derived
almost entirely from bush and tree
fruits. He has co-operated with the
Michigan State College in carrying on
horticultural experimental work. He
has a reputation for the production
of fruits of quality for which he re-
ceives' premium prices. In recent
years the roadside market has come
to be a factor in the distribution of
his products. Mr. Munson has been
particularly active in local organiza-
tions and in promoting better fruit
growing through the Michigan State
Horticultural Society.

On the hills between Crystal Lake
and Lake Michigan in Benzie County
is the 230-acre fruit farm of A. J.
Rogers. His main crop is cherries of
which he has about sixty-five acres.
Besides there are fifty-five acres of
bearing apples and twenty acres of
bearing peaches. Mr. Rogers devel-
oped this fruit farm from stump land.
He has exercised such care "in main-
taining fertility, in pruning, and spray-
ing his trees, in the thinning of the
fruit, and in handling the crops that
the most discriminating dealers pay
him a fancy premium for his fruit.
He has been active in a wide variety
of local and state farm organizations
and has contributed especially to the
promotion of horticultural work.

In the northern part of Montcalm
County near Lakeview is the 360 acres
of the Rossman Brothers. While these
three brothers have successfully co-
operated together for the past twenty-
two years in a. general farming pro-
gram, they have specialized in the
production of high quality potatoes
and in maintaining a good sized herd
of pure-bred TB tested Holsteins.
They also keep five 0. I. C. brood
sows, six Percheron mares, and about
800 white Leghorn chickens. These
brothers have their work unusually
well organized and have contributed
immeasurably toward better agricul-
ture particularly in the production of
certified potatoes. They are aggres-
sively active in farm organization
wm-k.

Several miles southeast of the 800
in Chippewa County is the 120-acre
dairy farm of Horace A. York. On
this farm Mr. York maintains about
forty-five head of cattle, a small herd
of swine, and a fair sized poultry
flock. While the land is devoted
largely to the production of crops for
his well-bred Jerseys, he grows each
year an average of about twenty
acres of potatoes. His soil is in a
high state of fertility. Oats is an-
other favorite crop and he has been
a prize winner with this crop at the
International. Mr. York is- active in
local farm organization work.

The Banquet

On the afteinoon of Decembe1 8.

the members of both the 1926 and 1927
classes of Michigan Master Farmers
were presented to the agricultural
students of the Michigan State Col-
lege. Informal meetings between
these men and the students was fol-
lowed by a business session of the
Michigan Master Farmers’ Club. > C. R.
Oviatt of Bay county was elected
President for the coming year and
Minard E. Farley of Calhoun county,
Vice—President.

President Kenyon L. Butterfield of
Michigan State College, speaking at
a banquet to these men, by the Mich-

igan Farmer, characterized the idea of '

Butterfleld who is also president of
the American county Life Association,

paid tribute to the splendid contribu- "

tion made by the Master Farmers to
the Country Life Conference held at
Michigan State College last August.
He has confidence further that, as
these groups of Master Farmers in-
crease in number, they will prove a
powerful‘ agency in securingfor corri-
culture some of the attention merited
by. our greatest and oldest industry.

As the Master Farmer medals pro-
vided by.the Michigan Farmer were
presented to the members of the 1927
class, each responded. T. J. Leen-
houts, agricultural agent of the New
York Central Lines, presented the
names of the Champion Farmers
selected in Michigan this year, while

present of the reaction or the wage: I i’

Michigan agriculture of having some
means of henoring farmers for out-
standing accomplishments.
Marrow, business manager of ,the
Capper Farm Press, also addressed
the banqueters and congratulated the
Master Farmers. I. R Waterbury;
manager of the Michigan Farmer,
acted as toastmaster. Through the
courtesy of WKAR, the college broadé
casting station, and 0f WGHP of De-
troit, it was possible to put the pro
gram on the air. Despite extreme cold
and'severe blizzards, a very represen»

to the Master Farmers and their
wives.

 

 

 

MUCH WORK AHEAD OF‘
CONGRESS

HE Seventieth Congress was not

long in getting down to business
when it assembled December 5. More
than 5,400 bills and resolutions were
introduced in the Houes during the
first three hours of the session.
Among them were bills of national
importance such as flood control, im-
migration, prohibition, and national
defence. Many were private bills,
and there were a large number of
bridge bills. Wherever there is a
possibility of an'improved highway
crossing a navigable stream, there is
a corporation organized ready to ask
for the right to construct and main-
tain a toll bridge.

WANT WIDE RANGE OF TARIFF
MARGINS

ONGRESS is asked by the United

State Tariff Commission to amend
the flexible provision of the present
tariff'act so that the commission will
have a wider range than the present
limit of 50 per cent in adjusting tariff
rates up or down. In a number of
investigations it had found that pro
duction cost data would warrant a fur—
ther reduction or increase in the rate
of duty. In every such case the rate

, .

proclaimed by the President falls short
of equalization of differences in costs
of production.

WOULD CUT REVENUES

THE new revenue bill as introduced
1n the House, carries a total net
revenue reduction of $232,735,000.
Corporation taxes are reduced from
13% to 111/2 per cent of net income.
The automobile sales tax is cut from
3 to 1% per cent. Stamp taxes on
sales of produce on exchanges are
repealed.

any one. It voices the President’s de-
mand for lrigid economy in govern-
ment expenditures, for gradual reduc-
tion in taxes, £01 an army large
enough for national defense, f01 strict
enforcement of the prohibition law,
for turning over the merchant marine

"No other foot protection beats

"No machinery has ever been invented yet that can
take the place of feet for getting about in doing farm
work," says V. A. Gerthoffer, of East Syracuse,
New York, who probably has more power machin-
ery on his farm than any other man in the Onondaga
Valley, and who runs two farms and does threshing
and silo filling as specialties.

”And no other foot protection has ever been in-
vented that beats Ball—Band boots and arctics for
enabling one to come and go, no matter what it is
like under foot.

“I first made the acquaintance of the rubbers with
the little Red Ball trade-mark down in Pennsylvania
where I learned how much punishment Ball-Band
~ bOOts will stand.

4 “My stock of Ball-Band rubbers now includes

- practically everything from light rubbers for dress

The annual meeting held at

and the interest in the subjects dis-
cussed never let up.
As is a common practice in State
Meetings, this opened

years ever experienced in Michigan
horticulture. Reports from north—

‘ western Michigan indicated that the
1 year was very unprofitable, while
- those from southwestern Michigan re-
vealed good crops ’which were highly
Eprofitable on account of high prices.
‘Some growers

from ‘ central and
eastern parts of the state also re-
ported profitable crops. .

A great many growers believe the

-‘ the trees have gone into the winter

in a hazardous co'ndition. Pear psylla

and shot whole fungus has done the
Ksame to cherries, therefore, they go
into the winter in a devitalized con-
dition. Peach growers also report that
the warm fall has brought a develop-
ment of buds which is dangerous.

In the first day’s session, F. L.
Granger, sales manager of Michigan
Fruit Growers, Inc., said that selling
cider and cull apples to peddlers was
ruinous because they competed with
the graded stuff and gave people a
bad impression of Michigan fruit. In
fact, the sale of such stuff is a sure
way to convert consumers to a box
apple buyer. Mr. Granger pleaded
that Michigan growers take this thing
seriously and work out a definite pro-
gram. He also urged that business
menvand bankers become interested in
"some constructive movement to bring
order in the marketing of Michigan
fruit.

In his talk on increasing fruit pro-
fits, Professor V. R. Gardner said that
the only way in which to reduce spray-
ing and culture cost was to increase
' the production per tree.
that it costs 21c a bushel to spray
- a tree producing about six and a half
bushels, while trees producing from
ten to fifteen bushels were sprayed at
a costcf nine to ten cents a bushel.

Professor W. C. Dutton, M. S. C.
spray specialist, told the audience that
his spraying experiments at Fennville
and Belding showed that it was ex-
tremely hazardous to use any other
than the standard spray materials for
the control of fungous diseases and
insects. - .1

PEACH LEAF cu'RL

 

; HE present season, the peach leaf

curl was a problem of great con-
cern. There is only one way to con-
trol it effectively. The only effective
way to absolutely prevent peach curl

.is to spray in the early spring while

the buds are dormant, or, better still,
spray the trees in the fall. There is
no u‘se to spray after the curl shows
upmduring the growing season. ,More
fall spraying is the effective way for
peach leaf curl control and we have
more time to do the work. Then
again it is often a difficult problem
to get the spraying done early enough
in spring before the buds'swell. The
buds must be thoroughly covered’with
a strong fungicide such as bordeaux
or lime sulphur mixture, or one of the
effective fungicidal sprays of which
there are many sold commercially.
The important thing is‘to get the work
done in time to prevent the curl and
while the buds are dormant either in
fall or early spring—~Mrs. E. O. S.

GROW RHUBARB IN WINTER

IT is po‘ssible and very simple to
grow a good supply of nice tender
rhubarb in winter. Some years ago
I tried it and we have been growing
rhubarb in the cellar each winter ever
since that time. There is nothing so
appetizing as rhubarb
and to grow it requires
effort.

I dig up the. mots, which must'be at
least two year old stalks, after we are
sure they have had a good freeze.
They are then taken into the cellar
and a. bit of dirt thrown over the
roots until we are ready to place them
in a. barrel which has a fine bed of
well rotted manure and a mixture of
sand. The rootsiare placed in this
and a cover placed over the top of
the bbrrel.

In a few weeks we will have rhu-
barb that isa beautiful red, tender,
crisp, and appetizing, practically de~
void of strings as we find on out-door
rhubarb. If grown in the dark, the
stalks will be longer and larger than
where grown without any covering
over barrel or box. Fresh home-grown
rhubarb in February, if marketed will
command top prices. I have never
grown enough for that purpose. We
grow just enough for our own use.—
Mrs. E. C. Swope.

WINTERING GRAPES

 

INTER injury to the vineyard is
usually associated with too much
rainfall during late summer and early
fall Which prevents the newly formed

. (grape buds from reaching maturity
before freezing weather sets in. This

is said to be especially true if the
vineyard is located on poorly drained
soils, and it is believed that much win-
ter injury may be prevented by proper
drainage which removes the surplus
water and allows the grape tissues to
harden up before cold weather.
When cultivation of the. vineyard
is discontinued in July or August, the
weeds should be allowed "to grow

State University, where Mrs. Dakan’s
husband, Professor E. L. Dakan, is
head of the department of poultry
husbandry.

This record hen violates most all of
the established rules for high produc-

with a long neck, and looks more
like a half-grown turkey than a prize

WHY HENS EAT FEATHERS~

Some of my hens have a notion of eat-
ing each other’s feathers. They seem
to pick them most around the head
and on the back. Can you please tell

_ me What is the cause and ‘what to do
. for them ?—-VV. W. D.

Feather eating usually results from

, idleness while the hens are in winter

‘ - quarters as well as a craving for

, , material not in their ration. Adding

._, 20 per cent beef scrap to the dry

maSh may satisfy their appetite. 'Try

hanging a piece of raw beef in the

poultry house for the birds to peck

at. Feed their scratch grain in litter

to keep them busy. As-soon as the

Weather permits turn the flock on

, .range so they can separate and be-

,come interested in other things. You

”may find a few of the birds are doing

; most of the feather pulling and if,the'y

While claims are on the increase,
the company makes a rate that will

a state-wide organization to adjust
claims and its record for settling lia-
bility claims is good. No matter in
what part of Michigan you drive, the
company has an agent or attorney to

automobile owner to know that he
is insured in a reliable state-wide

THE SKUNKS' FOOD
WOULD like to ask Mr. Frank W.
Ireland how he makes out that

skunks eat carrion. _I have hunted

them for the last 35 years and never
saw where they eat anything except
dead chickens, and I have a neighbor
who is not able to work at all so he
bought twenty-seven hens last spring
and the skunk got all except four of
them, and as to mink, I don’t know
whatlle means by wharf rats. .I never
saw one, but I have seen muskrats
torn up and killed by mink. Now as
to my following their trails, I think

I can, show Mr. Ireland something

about either e of them, either their

habits or trail that he does not know.

I know by experience, no book learn-

ing, what they eat and what they do

not eat—H. Breningstall.

GIVIN‘G HUNTERS PERMISSION

READ an article in last issue on

the game laws that I thought was
fine in regards to making people ask
permission to hunt. Now the way
I look at it is this. The state makes
laws that forces the farmers to feed
the game but won’t let him kill it.
The state has no rough land in this
part of the state at least. So when
laws are passed to protect game, the
farmer has to feed it grain, and fruit
suffers terribly from English pheas-
ants, truck and vegetables from rab-
bits and muskrats. Our poultry houses
are visited by skunk and mink who
commit no small damage.

Now if this game is so valuable,
the farmers should kill it for them-
selves. So I say, brother farmers, do
not allow any hunting on your farm
at all, only yourself. I say every man
farming five acres or more should
have the right to kill and use game
any time of year he likes as it really
belongs to the man that feeds it and
not to sportsmen, who have no regard
for property or anything else. When
they destroy fences, tear floors out of
vacant buildings, cut fences and so on,
well, it does not amount to anything,
it belongs to some old farmer and
they think they have done something
smart to destroy his property. Now
let me say again, do not let anyone
who is not a farmer and who will not
respect the farmer, hunt on your land.
If there is anything worth hunting it
belongs to you. It is your property as
much as your stock, because you feed
it.

I don’t believe any farmer ever
asked to have game protected. Hunt-
ing clubs and game clubs are respon-
sible for having the state force the
farmers to feed the game for them to
kill. It is time we all did something
to stop this and I think the only rem-
edy is to stop the hunting and the
laws will adjust themselves. Would
Jlike to hear from others on this
through the Michigan Farmer.-——W. D.
Thomas.

_ WINTER‘ SPREADING OF
MANURE
NOTED with interest the com-
ments on spreading manure in
winter in the December 3 issue.

One, factor ever present with us in
the extreme thumb of Michigan is
the difficulty of getting our land to
warm up ‘early in the spring; the cold
northeast wind from ice laden Lake
Huron is a constant menace from
March to May 15 and it has been our
experience that any sort of a cover-
ing of manure straw or other farm
waste prevents the sun’s rays from
warming the soil suflicient to start
growth in ,pmper season. We have

 

wheat was susceptible to rust and to
“ - ' I

tried it on wheat auditound that the .
her expel-ta

a less extent] it damaged other crops.
Even sod land (if much cold north-
east rain fell in late April) was salvy
and hard to fit for hoe crops.

The farmers are drawing and
spreading more manure in winter than
ever before in this locality owing to
pressure of work in summer. Yet it
is the consensus of opinion that the
deep bedded barnyard, spread on sod
or stubble lands after haying, is the
best long time practice though more
costly for the present.

We notice the sheep men with their
deep bedded sheds are getting results
more satisfactory than the farmers
making direct applications of fresh
manure. ‘Of course,
apply to horse manure as it'fire-fangs
so readily it ,must be used on time,
somewhere. ' ‘ " ,

Where a barnyard is kept well
bedded and the owner sees that use-
less piles of trash are used to absorb
normal rainfall," there is not a great
loss from leaching—E. Richardson.

SHARE OF FAILURE

The spring of 1926 we loaned certi-
fied seed oats to a party to sow. In
the fall he, was to return the seed
oats to us, the balance of the oats
was to be sold, and the price re.
ceived was to be divided 50-50. The
oat crop proved an entire failure and
was not even harvested. No agree-
ment was made for price of oats or
what to do in~case of failure. What
would be a'fair settlement to pay for
the seed oats

From the above question I am. as-
suming that the seed oats and land
belonged to the same party, as it

was to be divided on a 50-50 basis.
If this is true each party should bear
one-half of the cost of oats. As the
crop is a failure the landlord is out

CHOICE OF NAME

A man marries a woman who has
a small child, promising to adopt said
child as soon as they are married.
Many years have; passed but the man
refuses to keep his promise. If this
child married some day, What would
be her legal name? She knows no
other name than that of her supposed
father. Could the mother, through
court, have this child’s name changed
without husband’s consent, no prop-
erty or anything to be considered, but
to right a great wrong as nearly as
possible?—Subscriber.

Name
custom. If the child is not adopted by
the husband, he has no right to inter-
fere with changing of name. The
child may with the court’s consent
adopt any name she chooses—Rood.

SUBSCRIPTION TO PAPER

If I subscribe for a paper. or maga-
zine for one year and pay in advance,
and at the 'end of the time specified,
the publishers continue to send the
paper. without any authority, can_they
compel me to pay for same?-C..S.

The only right of recovery would
be on implied contract raised by the
presumption that a thing received and
accepted when. the receiver knows
that the seller expects to be paid for
it implies a promise to pay. In such
case the amount recovered would
probably not pay the expense of the
suit. The way-to avoid liability is. to
refuse to accept the parcel.-—-Roed.

.HEN do we eat?” We had come
ashore at Bathurst, British West
Africa, right after breakfast and

' by two o’clock Jim was clamor-
ing for his chop. It was toomuch
trouble to make the round trip back
to the “West HumhaW” for lunch in
the rearing, bucking surf boat, and
there wasn’t a hotel or restaurant in
town. .

Jim’s mind works better when he’s
hungry, and he was hungry then.
“Let’s go down to the public market
and buy some fruit and anything else
And
it was good advice.

Finding the public market in a west
African coast town is like locating the
hill among a colony of ants. All roads
lead to the market and where the ants
swarm the thickest, voila! there is
the hill. _The Bathurst blacks were
milling around in the market exactly
like ants about their queen.

Imagine a big-square, open-air com-
mons laid out like a state fair exhibit
.hall. and then try to imagine every
legitimate space and every passage
way as well cluttered up with babbling
blacks each one with some little
stock: to sell. Place this, in your
imagination, in the muggy, stifling
tropics where negroes sweat and goats
pant in the shade, where filth-fattened
flies drone unmolested over rotten
bananas and foul fish, and where
mangy dogs wallow in the dust.

There sit the merchants in the
midst of their wares of fruit, baskets,
calabashes, cola nuts, ground nuts,
bread, sugar and what not, guarding
their precious little stocks and chat-
tering back and forth like so many
children playing house.

E approached one drowsy old
dowager sitting on an empty oil
can with a calabash full of green
oranges on a mat beside her. “How
much for orange?” I asked. Someone
had told me those green oranges were
good to eat, in spite of their color.

“Penny for’two,” she said, spank-
ing her lips together with a thick
smack. We bought four. “You dash
Ine, mastah?” she, too, knew that
word, the Afro-English for tip. I
dashed her two of the oranges, and
the transaction was legal with every-
one satisfied. Then I sat down on a
deserted table to eat my warm orange,
while Jim ventured back behind the
market on the beach, where a col-
lection of natives were milling around
in a drinking carousal or celebration
of some kind that didn’t appeal to me.

Next to me a buxom negress, bulg-
ing like a shining egg plant above her
yellow wrapper, was selling cola nuts.
The meat of these smooth, thin-
shelled nuts contains a stimulating
drug sufficiently powerful to intoxicate
a. man if he chew enough of them.
I bought a few, peeled off the thin
shell of one and nibbled at the meat.
It was bitter, and I started to toss the
half~eaten kernel away when a young
boy interrupted with “Dash it to me,
mastah.” I handed it to him, wonder-
ing how much he could eat before the
caffeine would affect him. I put the
others in my pocket to throw away
some other time, instead of contri-
buting any further to the delinquency
of this little chocolate drop.

A wizened old hag, stripped to the
waist and smoking a pipe, sat cross-
legged on the floor beside a tray full
of a sort of bread stuff. Raised dough
biscuits they were, round and the size
of cocoanuts. She wasn’t ambitious
enough to brush the flies off and I
wasn’t hungry enough to eat one.
Next to her was a black Mohamme-
dan, beard, slippers, turban, and all.

and he turned his back.

AT the far end of the square were
the fish, piles of them, fresh .and

‘ foul, dried and drying. One of
the fish mongers sidled up to ~me,
pointed to my camera and said “Draw
me.” He was a. dashing young buck
but nothing unusual. I didn’t care for
his picture and told him so. I didn’t

that was impossible and offered him
sixpence for balm. But the angry
black was apparently doing some ex-
plaining of his ,own to his friends, for
a mob had gathered about them,
headed by a drunken Mohammedan
who grabbed the camera. Jim
snatched it back and fled for the mar-
ket and me. ‘

us of the necessity for strictly

and certainly didn’t care to pay him
for it. He pleaded, but I was firm,
and the black clouds gathered on all
sides to hear the arguments. His
English was as bad as my African.

“Mastah, he like dash you two shill-
ings for draw him photograph,” fin-
ally volunteered a friendly interpreter.
Ah, that was a horse of a different
color. He evidently thought I had
simply to snap him and then reach
into my camera, pull out the photo-
graph and hand it to him. It was
difficult to explain why I couldn’t take
his money, but it was a pleasure to
ry.

This dashing young negro wasn’t
the only one who surprised us that
way. In the same market a ragged
old wreck touched my raincoat and
gestured that he would like to have
it. I couldn’t dash away my only
raincoat and was pulling away when
he explained that he wanted to buy
it. And he was willing to pay what
it was worth too. I didn’t sell. Others
offered to buy my fountain pen and
even my two—dollar watch.

In the midst of all this haggling
Jim suddenly panted up to my elbow.
“Let’s get out of here,” he whispered
——and I didn’t stop to ask him why. I
had caught one glimpse of ascowling
black Mohammedan’s face at the head
of a walking delegation close upon
Jim’s heels.

We catapulted out of the market,
followed by the storm clouds. Be-
tween gasps Jim told his story: The
celebrants on the beach were cooking
chop and mixing up some kind of.a
drink which they sipped out of big
bowls. Jim had secured permission
to photograph a young buck 1n a G
string—and in his cups—and. after
making two or three snaps J1m of-
fered the negro thripence for dash.

  

A Native West African Market Where Everything Is Offered For Sale

 

 

 

told of an Englishman who had run
afoul of the negro police in one of
the west coast towns. The English-
man had heard a commotion in the
night, apparently in his own front
yard, and stepped out onto his porch,
in his pajamas, to investigate. He
was immediately arrested, and later
fined, for indecent exposure—and that

hsh simply administer the colonial
government in the interests of the
negroes and respect their laws and
customs. We wondered how seriously
we had offended, and what retribution
there would be.

Just as we slackened our pace to
pass the police station, on our way
uptown, a barefooted but gaylyxu'nr
formed, policeman tapped me on the
arm and ordered, “Come!" Had Jim
already been reported to the police?

I recalled ih that instant my gift of'

“How do you do, gentlemen,” he
smiled, and then continued in a per-
fection of English that surprised me.
“I called to you gentlemen as you:
passed,the door but apparently you
didn't hear me and so I had the
orderly ask if you would please stop

you would care to sell your camera?”

Phew! What a relief! We weren’t
arrested after all. When informed
that I wouldn’t part with my camera,
the captain politely begged my pardon
for stopping us, and'we tarried to
chat with him a few minutes, glorying
in our righteousness, but with one eye
uponJim’s pursuers lounging in the
street.

When we finally left the station it
was time to go aboard the “Humhaw”
for supper. We caught the first surf
boat and put out for our ship just as
Jim’s walking delegation gathered on
the dock. “I guess it’s time we were
leaving Bathurst,” he grinned, and
then added insult to injury by climb-
ing back into the stern and snapping
their picture from the boat.

Investing a Life
Our Week/)I‘Sermon—By N. A. Mchme

LIJAH, Amos, Hosea, Micah,
E Isaiah,—it is a big list. One‘can
sum up a deal of character in

one line. If Elijah, Amos, Hosea,
Micah, Isaiah should suddenly appear
today and tell us how they regard the
way they invested their lives, what
- would be their

verdict? Would
they remind the
youth of today
that to be a
prophet is hard
and unrewarded?
That people are
dull, unapprecia—
tive, slow of
heart to believe
and at times
cruel? It does not
1 seem so. Living-
stone writes back from Unyanyembe
in 1872, when he was completing one
of his most exhausting journeys,
“Come on, brethren, to the real
heathen. You have no idea how brave

 

you are till you try. Leaving the coast ,

tribes and devoting yourselves heart-
ily to the savages, as they are called,

you will find, with some drawbacks
and wickedness’es, a very great deal
to admire and love.”

Does such work sour a man, after‘

he has been at it for years? It is not
a money~making job. I don’t suspect
that Isaiah ever had much stock in
the Jerusalem First Mortgage Loan
Company. The old age of Jeremiah, full
of disappointment and tragedy as it
was, was a buoyant and hopeful 01d
age._And where will a more infectious
octogenarian be found than John
Frederick Oberlin, as he approaches
his sixtieth year as ,pastor- of the
humble farmers in "the Alsatian Moun-
tains?

Elijah must have been a strong
man, because the children all like to
hear about him. On a rainy Sunday
afternoon try out your story-telling
gifts on young America, using Elijah
as hero, and an audience will not be
wanting. He was the Daniel Boone of
the prophets. He did his work, with
a savage intensity. His experiences
with Jezebel show how human he
was, or, how much he was like us
modern men. He could face some

at she could not faze Knox. After

a stormy interview, Knox overheard
‘ some- one» express wonder that he was

not afraid. ‘ To excite the wrath of a
monarch in‘ those days was not a light
matter, except as the removal of one’s
head might make him lighter. Said
our hero, “Why shouldvthe pleasing

angry men, and yet have not been

Amos was a different sort. Not all
men are thunderers. Some are, think.
ers, thank .God. Said a good 'Amer-
ican not long since, .“Many men have
volunteered to die for their country.
But now we need a few who will
volunteer to think for it.” Give us,
as Ruskin said, armies of thinkers,
rather than. armies of stabbers. W11-
liam James, in his quaint and penetrat-
ing way, said, “Writing is higher than
walking, thinking is higher than writ-
ing, deciding higher than thinking,
deciding ‘no’ higher than deciding
‘yes’.” Amos decided “No!” to many,
many things that his countrymen were
doing, and we may infer that he had
a- highly trained mind and will. And,
selftrained, too. “I was no prophet,
he says, “neither was I a prophet’s
son: but I was a herdman, and a
gatherer of sycomore fruit.” »

Hosea was still different. His teach-
ing came from the depths of his ex-
perience. He suffered as few have.
He trod the winepress alone. Some
men are so made, that they suffer
acutely from ordinary events which
would hardly make some men think
twice. Of Christ, Hebrews say, “He
learned obedience by the things which
he suffered.” If out of our suffering

 
 

C'ROUP

 

-. 0U have heard a ripsaw cutting

its way along. When a noise like

that comes from the baby’s crib it is
croup! ‘ '

There are few occasions upon which
a young mother feels more genuine
alarm than. when the baby of the
household, is stricken with croup.
Usually the child has gone to sleep
showing little sign of illness; nothing
more than a slight cold. In the early
watches of the night the parents are
awakened by the strange, terrifying
breathing of the child. The little one
is, perhaps, too young to speak. If
he can speak his clear tones are
changed into a note of muffled hoarse-
ness that is absolutely terrifying
His little' body heaves and writhes in
the effort to draw in the breath that
is so necessary. Hands and feet are
cold and perhaps the whole body is
covered with a clammy sweat.

The first thing is to get the child’s
body warm and the next to give him
the benefit of a moist atmosphere.
Get a good fire going. Wrap him up
in hot blankets. Rub his feet and
hands. Meantime have kettles and
pots of water boiling. When the kettle
is steaming make a newspaper funnel
and conduct the steam to the baby’s
face so that he may inhale the moist
air. Usually a child with croup is
greatly relieved by any simple medi-
cine that will relax the system, even
though it induce vomiting. Wine of
Ipecac is a common medicine for this,
but a- better one ’is Lobelia. If you
have a. child subjet to croup it is well
to have your“doctor make a study of
the case to find the medicine most

Alexander Whyt’e, “You are taking the

Micah is the democrat of them, all,

a small d.
folk, and loves them. He would have
cried with Ebenezer Elliott,

but. men.” He“ pleads for sincerity in
religion with an abandon that has. be-

“Cease to do evil, learn to do well,

says Isaiah, the- statesman. Hosea, -'

out of an overflowing heart, says, “I
desire goodness, and not sacrifice.”
Amos the orator shouts, “Let justice

roll down as the waters, and righteous- -

ness as a mighty stream.” But Micah,
democratand commoner, says, “What
doth the Lord require of thee, but to
and walk

says that, he finds us all.

Don’t be fooled. Keep the little one
in bed' for two days after any attack
of croup. Only too often, the spasm

of croup being over, the child is 3.1-.

lowed to get up and wear himself out
with hard play. Night comes and the
whole terrifying experience is re-
peated, perhaps followed by an attack
of bronchitis or even pneumonia. It
is too late then to wish that you had
been cautious. Spasmodic croup is
not a dangerous disease in itself,
frightful though the attacks seem to
be. But give it due respect and be
sure to make sure that the child is
well before allowing him to resume his
activities.

VOLVULUS

 

Please tell me what “volvulus” is
and if it is anything that could pos-
sibly kill a man—Detroit Reader.

Volvulus is a term used to describe
a twist of the intestines. It is quite
a serious condition and if not quickly
relieved causes impaction of the
bowels and from this may follow gan-
grene, peritonitis, and death. If it
cannot be promptly reduced, 3. sur-
gical operation should be performed.

This is a proper line of treatment
and saves children from disfigurement,
gives them better teeth, improves the
palate, and improves the breathing ap-
paratus.

or three things that will help you
greatly. (1) Wash the face once daily
using a good soap and hot water and
being particular to wash away all na—
tural oil and grime. At other times
wash in plain water. (2) Avoid greasy
foods, sweetstuff and anything indi-
gestible. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and
green vegetables. (3) Drink freely of
cold water every day and encourage
a regular dailybowel habit.

Such a condition is too general to
allow me to give specific advice. I
suspect that you have some eyestrain
which should be corrected by glasses.
This may help a great deal. But back
of all this there are faulty habits of
living and thinking. Get some good
doctor to go over the daily routine of
your living. Find out if you eat enough
and the right diet; if you drink
enough; if you sleep enough; if you
play enough. These are important
matters in a condition like yours.

A Questzon Every Farmwife Shula! Apt Hem/f Egg” [4 r [y
By Lylia M. Thernton

WOMAN who came, notlso many
A years ago, from over-seas to
make her home in this country
gave us what I hope is a true picture

of the average American woman when.

she said:

“I hear in my country, you Amer-
ican women never wash dishes. Then
I think, maybe, you so rich you al-
ways buy new. But I come here, and
In find some rich, some not s6 rich,
and all kinds, she wash dishes, but
she never, what you say, let dishes
wash her.” .

Years ago we accepted it as a fact
that the man who ran his business
instead of letting his business run
him, was the successful one in his
community. The expression came to
be so common that I never noticed
its peculiarities until I heard it ap-
plied to dishes and then I smiled.

If any man needs to run his work
instead of letting his work run him,
it is the farmer, and if any woman
should wash her dishes instead of
letting her dishes wash her, it is the
farmer’s wife.

In my grandmother’s day after
every meal the table must be cleared

construction.

 

Clean Doorknobs

AM as tall as the doorknob!”

Marion exclaimed as she meas-
ured her height.

“How would you like to take
charge of the doorknobs,.now that
you have grown so tall?” her
mother asked.

Marion was delighted with the
new game. With a small pail of
soapy water and a cloth she care-
fully washed off the finger marks
from knobs and door jambs. It
was most fun with white wood-
work and white knobs, for these
showed quickest results. ' Soon
Marion saw what a difference it
made when she kept her own
hands clean. Long after she had
been graduated from doorknob
duty, she remembered how im-
portant it was to wash anything
which many hands had to touch
in the course of a day.

 

 

and the dishes washed. Dinner might
have been late and the baby ready
for his nap, but although he fretted
and cried the work must be “done up”
before putting him to bed. Once when
the minister called I remember that
same good woman fidgeted and paid
but scant attention to her caller. In
fact her evident restlessness drove
him away, and all because the dinner
dishes were still on the uncleared
table when he rapped at the door.
The wise housekeeper has escaped
the yoke of dish washing. Not that
she has become slovenly and care-
less, but if company comes, the baby
is sick or restless, husband wants her
assistance for a few minutes, or Jack
needs a little help with the first prob-
lem of his tomorrow’s lesson, she has
learned to pile the dishes into a pan
cover them tightly and slip them into
a cupboard or the stove oven until
they can be given her attention at. a
more convenient time. .
. When John comes rushing up from
the dairy barn to tell her that Belle
Alpha II has a wonderful little calf,

«,z‘Muy, it she is a wise wife, piles the '

   

dishes in the pan, turns a kettle of
hot water over them and goes down
to see the new arrival before dark.
If she insists upon waiting to wash
the dishes, brush up the floor, and
finish her work, John won’t come
dashing after her next time, and the
dishes will get to be her life and the
dairy, John’s.

And getting away from the dish
problem, I wonder if the farmer’s wife
realizes that she is really privileged
above her sisters in that she can take
an active and intelligent interest in
her husband’s work. It’s hard for
most women to understand bridge
building or coffee importing or road
She can’t go out With
her husband to watch the progress of
big enterprises in which he is only a
cog in a great wheel; but the farm
woman never finds herself caught in
a net of “the proprieties” when she
wants to pal with her husband, and
if she is wise she takes full advantage
of her opportunities, washing her
dishes when she can, but never let-
ting them wash her.

HALF-ACRE KITCH ENS NOT
EFFICIENT

 

OUNTLESS miles of walking is

theIprice many a farmwife pays
for the doubtful privilege of owning
a. large, old-fashioned kitchen. Yet
the difficulty can be solved, and this
wasted energy conserved.

For one thing the kitchen equipment
may be grouped in one part of the
kitchen, or the kitchen may be made
smaller by partitions. If necessary
a new kitchen can be built and the
old one converted into a laundry or
wash room.

If you are contemplating remodeling
your kitchen 'or building a new one,
detailed plans for construction and for

rearranging the ‘equipment already in

the farm kitchen are. described in
bulletin No. 37, “Farm Kitchens” pub-
lished by the extension department of
Michigan State College. Copies of
this bulletin may be obtained through
the extension department at the Col-
legeor by addressing this office.

ones and kept pretty busy, I find
that washing. the oily dust mop takes
too much time. So this time I washed
it very clean and covered it with a
large clean cloth that‘ had been
squeezed out of water sprinkled with
oil and hung in the sun to dry. Once
going over the floors and it is soiled,
so I merely unpin it and fold it over
to a clean place. In a few days I
wash it and it is dry in no time
whereas a dust mop takes daysto dry.
Occasionally I mop the varnished

There is a song agut this state. .

That has a riddle in it;

 

The pieces of this puzzle when cor-
rectly set together make a map of the
state which the verse describes. The
star indicates the capitol.

Can you name the state and the
capitol and tell something about the
state?——Aunt Martha.

The answer to last week’s “State
Secrets” is Michigan and its capitol
is Lansing. Did you solve it correctly?

Gay Christmas Day will soon be here,
Merriest day of all the year,

And we shall decorate because /,
We are expecting Santa Claus.

HIS MASTER’S VOICE

 

ERE is another gamefor you to

play. It is called “His Master’s
Voice.” It will be heaps of fun to
play it on Christmas day whenlittle
brothers, sisters, and cousins are to-
gether for the holiday.

First, someone is chosen to be “mas-
ter” and takes his place in a room
alone, the other players being outside
a door which is left ajar or behind
portiers. Each player in the outer
room must in turn bark like‘a dog.
If tlfi master recognizes the voice of
any one barking, that player must
become master. The game can go on
until all the “dogs” are identified or
indefinitely, the master taking his
place with the dogs when he recog~
nizes a player.——Aunt. Martha.

 

CHRISTMAS DRESS
By L. VMitchelI Thornton

 

A boy don’t care for fashions
Or foolish things like that;
A piece of silk or‘ satin,
Or slippers or a hat.
But—~I’m the one excited,
The eager one, that’s me,
When Mother says she’s ready
To dress the Christmas tree.

I don’t think clothes important,
Exceptmg when you’re cold;
like my sneakers roomy,

My lumberjack‘et old.
But I’m the one that. watches,
.Toseealllcansee .
When Mother says she’s ready
To dress the Christmas tree.'

   

(I An Advertisement of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company

A FRUIT and truck farmer of
New York state is so located
that he can ship his products
to New York, Albany or Pitts-
field. He obtains the market
prices in these centers by tele-
phone and then ships to the
one in which they are highest.

"I obtain the market price,"
he says, ”between eight and
nine o'clock in the morning,
agree on the price, load my
trucks, and ma e'the deliveries
at night while my neighbors
are sleeping.”

Thousands of grain and stdck
farmers throughout the United
States also use the telephone
when they are ready to sell.
The work of a whole year may
hinge on the result of a few
days. It's easy to lose $10 a
steer by selling at the wrong
time.

The telephone ends isolation.
It runs important errands. Or-
ders extra parts when there is a
breakdown. Buys and sells at
the best price. Is a guardian in
time of accident or sickness.
Pays for itself many times over.

The modern farm home has
a telephone.

Some More Home— Coming Letter:

LTHOUGH past the age limit
but a short time, it is hard to
resist the temptation of not

being an active member, so I’m enter-'

ing for the first time as a home-comer.

The home-coming of our circle pro-
vides a wonderful opportunity for the
ex-members of Michigan’s greatest
circle of young people to express their
views of the circle and its members.
We older members should be very
thankful that Uncle Frank provides us
with such a grand opportunity to visit
Our Page once more.

The Golden Circlers should espe
ially thank our leader, because in
winning a Golden Circle membership
it requires a certain talent, which is
of the highest quality. This also gives

 

Harriet Cole Is Sitting on the Box

us a chance to expose our talent in
winning the higher and most valuable
membership of the circle.

The few years that I took active
part I found much pleasure and also
found that it was a benefit to me in
an educational way. I gained many
friends through the circle, but am
unlike some who entered the “sea of
matrimony” due to friendship gained
through the circle; I’ve chosen other-
wise, as I’m yet too young.

As to myself, I’m working on a farm
Where I’ve been since my graduation
from high school. I’m living with
hopes of attending college in the very
near future.

With best wishes of future success
for the circle, I remain, your much
interested G. C.—-George “Slim” Nich-
01s.

I think that it should please us that
this Circle, made up of all of us,
should be of such pleasure and bene-
fit; to each of us individually. I cer-
tainly like to have the retired M. 0.8
come home.

 

I didn’t think it was time for “Home-
Coming,” but was certainly delighted
to see those two dear words again.
Of course, I began to work my brains
right away to think what to write.
Every other time I have picked on
one subject, and wrote a letter on or
. about that one thing. This time it’s
going to be on anything I can think
of.

I am one of those liking to know
where and what some of those old-
timers are doing. I am still working
in the library here, and it is my sec-
ond. year. I did intend to go to the
Ferris Institute this year, but my ill-
ness still keeps me away.

I think you are going to have, and
it will probably be over by the time
' this is in print, a fine contest. That
is, or was, the “scramble cente'st."
The friends I made in the “Merry
Circle” club are among my best
to me. I have some that have written
to me for three or four years and

‘\

others who just started. A couple have
written to me since I have had to
quit taking active part and have be-
come a has-been. I wouldn’t'take a
good deal for those dear scramble
friends of mine. .

Those “Little Nature Studies” are
going to be a wonderful addition to
“Our Page” don’t you think, cousins,
especially to you that say you love
nature? It seems to me that Uncle
Frank is all the time finding some-
thing nice for us. I never saw anyone
take so much trouble and interest in.
boys and girls before. And just think
how long he has been doing it.

Guess, I had better close before you
wish that this old-timer at least had:
kept still. —— Geneva Kohlenberger,‘
M. c. , g

I am so glad that you have made.
valuable friends through the M. C.
My M. C. work is not trouble—it is
interesting.

 

I have been enjoying the letters
from the Home-Comers. Glad that
some are interested in the religious
side of life. I firmly believe that the
really and truly happy people are
those who are sincerely and whole-
heartedly working in the service of
the King of Kings. Goldie Witmer’s
letter was very interesting and am
glad that she, too, is happily married.

We are still living on the same
fruit farm we were on last fall, but
are going to move this winter or in
the early spring.

Our little girl is two years old today
and I’m going to make her a cake
and put candles on it. Eleanor Anne
is just as big a mischief as ever but
at the same time she is usually very
helpful, too. She loves to be with me
every minute, trying to help me with
whatever I may be doing. There are
lot of articles in our home which I
can send her after or tell her to put
away and she very seldom makes an
error. I’m not exaggerating when I
say- she has always been keenly ob
servant.

Eleanor knows all the farm animals
and fowls by sight and sound and
loves to imitate them. She spends a

great deal of. time looking at maga-
zine‘s and catalogs, and it is‘surpris-
ing how many pictures she can iden-
tify. She knows clocks, lamps, stoves,
beds, boys, girls, men, ladies, cars,
trucks, shoes,” socks, farm animals,
chickens, ducks, and a great many'
others. She is delighted to go “bye
bye” in our flivver, and enjoys the
scenery, pretty posies, and animals.
We usually get her ready for a ride
first and then you’d laugh if you
could see her try to ”help us get ready.
She hunts up our shoes, hats, and
coats, faster than we can put them, on.
Guess I’d better ring off for this time.
Best wishes to you and the M. C.’s.——

THEE‘MERRY CIRCLE ‘FUND

Dear Uncle Frank:

We just started a club called South
Leighton Friendship Club and we
would like to help with the radio fund
for the Children’s Hospital.

 

 

We are enclosing a dollar post office
money order. Hope it will help the
suffering children a little. We all
take the Michigan Farmer so we have
been reading about them.-—-Mrs. Frank
Dorman, Secy., Wayland, Mich.

Dear Uncle Frank:'

Please find enclosed check for three
dollars for radio fund for crippled

THEY SHED THEIR HORNS

 

O deer shed their horns? This is

a question that is almost sure to
provoke an argument if you can

get two or three old woodsmen to-
gether. One of them will'be sure the
answer is yes, while another will de-
clare just as earnestly that he has
watched deer all his life, and has yet
to see an adult male deer without
horns, so he is sure they are never
shed. -
The answer is really yes. Deer have
antlers, rather than true horns, and
they shed them once each year, grow-
ing a new set to take their places.
The horns are shed in midwinter,
while the deer are gathered together
in bands in areas known as yards.
Early the following spring, about the
time grass and young leaves are start-
ing, tiny buttons appear on the head
of the deer, where the antlers dropped
off. These grow rapidly, covered with

Our Letter BOX) ,

 

 

Dear Uncle Frank: .
The letter written by “A Modem
Farmer’s Daughter” both surprised
and interested me. I agree With you,
Uncle Frank, that because Lindbergh—
admitted these faults, I would not .
admire him the more for it, and that

it even means more than the flight—3

it does not. The flight showed cour-
age, the bad habits show weakness.
But Lindbergh is not weak. His
every action denies it. Also, she
stated that Lindbergh ranked first on'

It is very true that he risked his life
to accomplish the great feat, but, he
did it to .win a prize,n’ot to save his
country or some similar cause. Many
an unsung here has done more for his
country in time of trouble than did
Lindbergh. '

But do not misunderstand and think
that I am trying to belittle his won-
derful achievement. I admire his
great courage and will. power about
as much as any human can and I' alsoi
admire not a little his clean moral_
character and buoyant youth, that has "
completely captured the world. His
flight did wonders for aviation and
will continue to do So for years to
come. ,

Now “Farmer’s Daughter,” seeing
we are both from “down on the farm" _
let’s get the thing straight, eh? ‘ Wot'
say?—“A Daughter_of the Land.”

I, too, admire Lindbergh's cour- , ..
ageous flight, but I admire most the .
unaffected way in which he accepts -
honors, and his clean habits,

Dear Uncle Frank: \ ,

As I am very busy in high school
I haven’t much time to write to Our
Page but I would like to express my
thoughts to “A’ Modern Farmer’s

headed her list of the ten men who“
had done the most for America, that
put Jesus Christ second, I wonder if
she thought beforeshe made that rash
statement. We could get along with- ,

Well, Uncle, I am smart enough to

do something, deesn’t it?

Uncle Frank, what is there to that

ing your name, age, and date on a
pieCe of cloth or making a block, I'd
love to have you all send me one

LIKES THE MERRY CIRCLE

I have been reading the letters of
the Merry Circlers and decided to
write, but don’t know that I can
write a letter good enough'to escape
the waste basket. .

Well, I am a cripple and have been

. so for seventeenyears and I am now
twenty years old and cannot walk. I
have brown bobbed wavy hair, browu
eyes, weigh ninety pounds and am four
feet tall. I am living on a fargn v.’
my mother, brother and younger sis‘

The crops in this locality have been
almost a complete failure. I read a
good deal and like books by Harold
Bell Wright; also like religious books
and reading. Am reading now the
“Ministry of Art.”

Well, Uncle Frank, I hope you won’t
let my letter land in the waste basket.
Will some one write to me? I will
answer all letters which I receive.
Well, I will close with best wishes to

only four changes or five words.

are supervised in this manner vary

'according to the types of farming in

the community. Crop projects are the
most numerous including potatoes,
corn, oats, and wheat, although there
are many animal projects which in-
clude poultry, sheep, swine‘ and cattle.

The fact that these projects usually ‘

create a competitive race between Dad
and Junior also has its bearing on
better agricultural practices in a com-
munity. ’ v

Mr. Campbell, agricultural instructor
at Cass City, specializes in animal pro-
jects, and this year Mr. Campbell’s
agricultural students collected $1,700
in cash prizes won at County and
State Fairs from their fine stock,
aside from the'loving cups and a large
supply of ribbons.

Charles Parks supervised some certi-
fied and registered seed projects at
Hastings High School, and‘as a result
the farmers in that community are
growing bigger and better crops. The
elevators at Hastings became inter-

ested in the work and donated Mr.)

Parks 1,000 pounds of fertilizer to use
for experimental purposes , in this,

One or the most outstanding ex-
amples of teaching in supervised pro-_
ject work in Michigan is carried on
by Tony Brendel, Agricultural In-

specializes in certified seeds and reg:

FLU—PN EU MONIA 3,3 “
m H055 ANDPOULTRY *

NOW, you can quickly stop Colds, and other
similar diseases, in your hogs or your chICke

ens. No need of individual dosing.

Colds, Roup, Canker,

Infectious Bronchitis
(Flu), and Pneumonia, .all are diseases of the
breathing passages. The more simple Colds often
lead to the more serious bronchial and lung trou—
bles. Many instances are reported where Flu has
wiped out half of an entire flock, in a single week.

It is just as prevalent and costly with hogs.

Easy to Stop Losses Now

Vapo-Spray and Flu—Koff Emulsion are a dou-
ble treatment—a vapor of healing oils, to be
sprayed in sleeping quarters and breathed into
the bronchial tubes and lungs; and an internal
medicine, given in the feed, to allay cough, re-
duce temperature and overcome irritation, like as

if for a human being.

. This treatment has been used by thousands of
hog and poultry raisers with the same satisfactory
results as obtained by our specialists during a

year of testing it out.

Prompt Treatment Important

Don’t neglect Colds, even if only slight—it is so
easy now to control them. Have Flu-Kofi Emul-
sion and Vapo-Spray on hand—give at the first
signs of Colds or indications of Flu, such as
wheezing, coughing and gasping for breath. And
while prompt treatment is important, don’t con-

termining the ingredients
and their percentages used
in Vapo-Spray and Flu-

sixteen specialists experi-
mented over a period of
one year to give hog and
poultry raisers an easy
and really effective
way to stop these

SOFT SH ELLED EGGS

 

ROBABLY one of the most annoy-

eggs by a group of hens, or even only
one hen. It is a. sign that something
is unprofitably and radically wrong
with the hens—something that should

the eggs themselves, they are per-
fectly useless and merely. represent
a loss in geod food.

In nine cases out of ten, a. hen lays
soft shelled eggs because there is a
lack of calcium carbonate in her diet.
This mineral is really pure eggshell
material. Therefore, its absence from
the diet results in either thin shelled
eggs or eggs with no shell at all. Of
course, calCium carbonate is generally
present in the food and water given
to the hen, but there is seldom enough
to satisfy her needs.

The best and only way to make
sure that one’s' hens are obtaining
sufficient calcium carbonate is to keep
crushed oyster shell before them all
If the hens have been lay-
ing soft shelled eggs, it will qorrect
this condition and result in market-
able eggs with thick, tough shells. If
the hens have been producing only a
normal number of eggs, it will profit-
ably increase the egg yield—30 eggs
or so more is the average annual in-

d
‘ crease per hen.

By the way, the fact that no Soft
shelled eggs have been perceived is
not a guarantee that one’s hens have
not been laying them. Many hens,
and roosters, too, seem to be pos-
sessed of cannibalistic instincts, and
have been known to devour soft
shelled (eggs directly after they were
laid.

STRAW LOFT FOR POULTRY

HOUSE

 

 

ONE of the interesting develop-
ments in poultry housing is the
rapid progress the straw loft poultry
house has made within the last year
or two. A great many of the poultry
specialists have approved this type of
house and it is gaining in favor rapid-

adapted to this type, the essential
thing being to have an open ceiling
or mow about 6% to 7% feet above
the floor and havethis covered with
12 to 18 inches of clean straw. It
is- usual to have a tight floor above
the roosts, with the straw loft above
the rest 'of the floor.

The covering of straw lets the foul
air and moisture go out slowly and
escape through gratings or louvers in
the ends of the attic aboye, while
sufl‘lcient fresh air comes in through
cracks and other parts of the straw
loft, and thus a very satisfactory
amount of ventilation is obtained and
still the house kept a. little warmer
than the outdoor air. Users have ob-
served that the straw loft house is
warmer in winter and cooler in sum-
mer than where it is not used and
those who have tried it are quite en-
thusiastic. So far no trouble has been
reported as to its harboring mites
where the house is sprayed with a.
germicide and the straw changed once
a year or so. It is a. very good method
for remedying a. house that is damp or

- cold or for converting an old building

into a satisfactory poultry house.—

ance, become swollen, and very irrit-
able below the eyes. Eyes are
watery, and some difliculty is exper-
ienced in breathing—Mrs. J. F. J.

The turkeys may have severe. colds
or roup. Turkeys are in more danger

of becoming infectedwith colds and -

roup when they are roosting with the.
chickens. Remove as much of the
mucous as possible from the nostrils
by squeezing with small wads of tis-
sue paper. Then inject commercial
roup cure, commercial disinfectant or
potassium permanganate solution into
the nostrils with a. medicine dropper
or small syringe. A few treatments
of this kind will often dry up simple
colds.

“If the turkeys have their faces
packed with the thick leathery matter

due to roup, it is necessary to make /

a cut and pick out the matter and
place a. bit of cotton moistened with
iodine in the wound. This induces
healing from the inside. Whether
treatment for roup is advisable de-
pends on the value of the bird and the
time of the caretaker. . Successful

treatment depends on starting early.

before the bird is devitalized by the
disease.

PREVENTING SCALY LEGS

 

I have a flock of chickens that have
terrible scurvy legs. I would like to
know if there is anything that could
be done to cure it.-—E. W.

Scaly legs are caused by parasites
which burrow under the scales on the
hen’s legs. The irritation caused by
their biting produces small blisters
which break and the serum in the
blisters dries on the legs. The con-
stant accumulation of this scaly
material' finally bulges out the scales
on the legs and gives the enlarged
diseased appearance ' .

A common remedy is to take an-

old tooth brush and scour the legs
with warm soapy Watejr to remove as
much as possible, of the incrustation.
Then rub kerosene oil or commercial
coal .tar dip up under the scales to
destroy the parasites. The scaly leg
mites spread from bird to bird along
the roasts and when the roosts are
constantly protected ~from red mites
with oil or disinfectant, it also seems

to retard or prevent, the appearance 7

of seaJy__legged, birdsin the flock.

DID NOT CURE TUBERCULOSIS

HEN I replied to your letter of
Sept, 15, relative to the news-
paper reports which appeared
at that time concerning the cattle‘
tests at Portland with the Kirkpatrick
Cure, I promised to advise you of our
finding when our work _was completed.

DoctOr Beckwith and I have sent
our report to the Mayor of Portland,
and, as before, some persons have
made it their business to distort and
put their own interpretations upon
our findings. I desire to make at this
time the following comments concern-
ing our report and the newpaper
items which have appeared within the:
past few days. In this letter I am con-
cerning myself with the Portland
cattle tests. I have nothing to say
upon the treatment in human beings—
others are better qualified to comment
upon that.

The newspapers have carried re-
ports of the findings upon the cattle
treated with the so-called Kirkpatrick
Remedy for Tuberculosis at Portland,
Oregon. All of such items that have
come to my attention are misleading,
because they convey the impression
that the findings showed the Kirkpa-
trick remedy to be a cure for tuber-
culosis. Our findings do not permit
of any such conclusion.

.To begin with, in February, of this
year, twenty cattle reacting to the
tuberculin test were divided into two
lots. of ten each. One lot was slaugh-
tered and the other placed under
treatment with the Kirkpatrick rem-
. edy for tuberculosis.

Doctor Beckwith, Associate Profes-
spr of Bacteriology of the University
of California, and I were invited by
the Mayor of Portland to take part
in .the observations when these ani-
mals were slaughtered on August 8, 9,
anle. At a meeting held in Port-
land, it was agreed that Doctor Beck-
with and I should autopsy these ani-
mals and carry on whatever tests
might 'be neceSS'ary to determine

. whether or 'not active tuberculosis was

esent "in ', the " treated animals. Our

   

an officer of the ,

 
   

Apparently the same persons that
are at work at present trying to lead
the public to believe that our test
proved the efficacy of the Kirkpatrick
remedy were then busy reporting that
either all or 'most of the untreated
'cattle slaughtered in February were
condemned as unfit for food. In fact,
a United States Bureau of Animal
Industry report, dated Portland, Ore-
gon, April 7, 192‘s, shows that no
tuberculosis lesions were found in
three of seven animals from one of
the two herds which supplied a por-
tion of the Kirkpatrick test animals.

Of the ten animals which were ,.

under treatment with the Kirkpatrick
remedy, three died during the course
of treatment, but the cause of death
of two of these was not reported to
me. The third animal died of sep-
ticemia following calving. Tissues
from the third cow, however, were
submitted to us and in them we found
live tubercle bacilli which induced
generalized tuberculosis in inoculated
guinea pigs.

Seven others of the treated cattle
were slaughtered in August. It was
claimed that five of these had re-
ceived full treatment, while with two,
for some reason or other, the treat~
ment was not completed. The five
which were claimed to have received
full treatment were presented by the
promoters as a basis upon which to
determine the efficacy of the Kirkpa«
trick remedy. These cows were
slaughtered on August 8 and 9. In
three of them, we found tuberculous
lesions no different than those usually

found in tuberculin reacting cattle,’

and all guinea pigs inoculated with
lesions from these died within three
months of generalized tuberculosis.
In two we faikd to find any evidence
of existing tuberculosis or of healed
lesions of tuberculosis. The addi-
tional two were slaughtered on the
10th of August and tuberculous lesions
were found in both.

No records of the treatment were
presented. How much treatment each
of the animals received is not knoWn
to us. The caretaker, when questioned
on August 10, told me that one of
the animals (Cl-425239) in which we
found no lesions on the day before,
was one of the two which had not
received a full course of treatment,
while one of those killed on August
10 and which showed tuberculous le-
sions did receive a full course of treat-
ment, 0-425246.

It may be stated that occasionally
in cattle which give suspicious or even
definitely positive tuberculin reactions,
tuberculous lesions may not be found
when autopsied. In fact. a United
States Bureau of Animal Industry re-
port, dated Portland, Oregon, April 7,
1926, shows that no tuberculous le-
sions were found in two of seven re-
acting animals from one of the two
herds which supplied a portion of the
Kirkpatrick test animals.

What we found in the cattle treated
with the Kirkpatrick remedy has been
observed in reacting cattle which
have not been treated with the Kirk-
patrick or any other remedy for tuber-
culosis.

In View of the above, one is not
justified in concluding that the Port-
land test proved that the Kirkpatrick
remedy is a cure for tuberculosis in
cattle—J. Traum, Assoc. Prof. Veter-
inary Science, University of California.

 

The board of supervisors in Branch '

county at their last session voted
appropriations to provide serum for
the treatment of hogs to prevent cho-
lera, and also to paythe expenses of

Fight Udder Troubles

Poorly-filled milk pails are a disappoint—
ment—and a loss. When they occur. be
sure the trouble is not under your very
eyes.

Remember this —cows are nervous, sen.
sitive animals. The slightest discomfort of
the udder or teats is extra annoying during
milking. The milk Is held back—lost to
you as surely as if the cow lacked the
ability to produce.

Fight udder troubles constantly—the
way the bee flairymen In the country now
do—with a can of Bag Balm, the great
healing ointment. Bag Balm is a rapid
antiseptic healer of all sores or hurts,
chaps, cracked teats, inflammation of the
udder, caked bag, bunches. cow-pox, etc.
It is clean and pleasant to use—cannot
taint the milk. For any sore or skin
trouble Bag Balm is sure relief.

Use Bag Balm liberally to keep your
cows comfortable and productive. Big 10-
ounce package 60c at feed dealers. drug-
gists, general stores. Mailed postpaid if
hard to obtain locally. Booklet, “Dairy
Wrinkles” free on request.

SOME OF MICHIGAN’S GOOD
GUERNSEYS

URING the past fiscal year for
our cow testing work more than
30,000 cows completed records in
Michigan dairy herd improvement
associations. The excellent produc-
tion registered by many of these cows
and the profits yielded by them to
their herd owners has been beneficial
to Michigan dairymen. The state av-
erage for all coWs under test in these
organizations is more than 300 pounds
butter-fat. ,
Guernseys are playing an important
part in bringing greater profits to
Michigan dairymen. Excellent pro-_

third trip to Chicago. The swine
barns were taxed to the limit, and the
sheep pens overflowing.

The Michigan State College horses
led the way for all exhibitors in the
number and value of prizes won. Six
Belgian mares and a yearling stallion
were good enough to bring home six-

.teen ribbons, including eight first

prizes, and five championships. The
well known mare, Pervefihe, after
weaning her third filly foal, was\good

' enough for Reserve Senior and Re-

serve Grand Champion mare, being
beaten by her half sister, the three
year old .Manetta de Rubis. Her filly
foal won her class easily, and the
yearling filly was sixth in class, the

two winning third money as produce

of mare. Four of the six mare classes
were won by College horses, and a

' fifth class by Pervenche’s own sister,

shown by Owosso Sugar Company of
The yearling stal-
lion, lately purchased, won his class
and was made Junior. Champion.
Among the most coveted prizes are
those for three mares, stallion and
three mares ownedby exhibitor, and
get of sire. Each of these three was
won by the College horses.

Four Percheron mares and a two

ayear old stallion collected nine rib—

bons~tostheir credit, including three
firsts“ and one championship. Four Of
the five were sired by the College
Stallion, Treviso, and three were from
one mare, Coreen.

Thirty-six fat barrows were shown
by-the College and twenty-six ribbons
were collected, including five firsts,
seven seconds, 'and four champion-
ships. As many as thirty- eight bar—
rows were shown in a single class.

Five seCond ribbons and three

, ‘thirds were secured by the College
‘_ sheep. A college bred Shropshire
Yearling ram. stood second among the

best breeders of the United States.
Sixprizes were taken by College fed

”steers, among which was an Aber-

deen Angus steer placing first 'and' re-

\_ serve to the champion carcass steer

.The champion steer of the show
was a red Shorthorn4-Aberdeen Angus
crossbred~one of three steers shown

'by the University of California. He
.sold in the auction for $2. 35 per

pound, a total of over $2, 400.

The champion steer carcass was
shown by Hall Orchards Co. Inc. of
Balding. Michigan. This carcass was

pronounced by the Judge and others

who saw it as being almost faultless

Other Michigan breeders stood well
up among the winners in the various
classes. Belgian horses shown by the
Owosso Sugar 00., Alicia, ‘Michigan,
gathered in eighteen ribbons, three of
which were first prizes and one cham-
pionship.

C. H. Prescott & Sons, Tawas City, .

Mich., made their usual good showing
in the Shorthorn division, getting Well
up in the money in most' classes. The
Gotfredson herd, of Ypsilanti. Mich.,
also garnered some premiums. W. S.
Wood & Sons, Rives Junction, Mich.,
landed among the tops with their all
red herd of Milking Shorthorns. They
secured one first, two thirds and three
fourths in competition with noted
herds from each coast. Polled Short-
horns were shown by L. C. Kelly &
Son, of Marshall.

Besides the Hall Orchards Co, rec—
ord in the steer carcass, two other
noted Aberdeen Angus herds held up
Michigan’s colors in the show of
breeding animals and steers. The
Woodcote Stock Farm of Ionia,
showed a first prize senior yearling
bull and second prize two years old.
Several other enviable places were
secured among strong competition.

Wildwood Farms, Orion, Michigan,
secured one first premium, two .sec-
ends, and two thirds along with some
other ribbons. They also got inside
the money on pure-bred Shropshire
lambs and on a carload of grade
Shropshire fat lambs.

Long-wool sheep were shown by
Harry Crandell, Cass City.

The Junior Live Stock Judging
Team from Tuscola County, who were
the Winners among Club teams at the
State Fair at Detroit. placed sixth
among twenty teams from other states
in judging beef cattle, sheep, horses,
and hogs. The following boys con-
stituted the team: Louis Taylor, Caro;

WHEAT.

Wheat prices have fluctuated over
an exceedingly narrow range during
the last month. Domestic and Cana-
dian merchandising conditions appear
to be healthy, but the upward trend
shown by the market in November
has been interrupted by the willing-
ness of Argentina to sell at somewhat
lower prices.

While the Argentina offerings are
for later shipment and cannot reach
the consuming centers of Europe
much before March 1, the willingness
-to offer on declining prices influences
buyers abroad and constitutes a weak-
ening factor in the domestic market.

W"orld producti'bn of wheat as far
as reported to date shows an increase
of 3 per cent over last year. World
consumption in the last crop year fell
somewhat below production, resulting
in an increase of about 50 million
bushels in the carryover.

RYE.

Rye prices have shown no special
feature recently. Exports have tended
to diminish, but stocks are so far be-
low the usual volume at this season
in the last several years and the per-
centage of the surplus already cleared

is so large that no special weakness

is probable.
CORN.

The strength in corn prices which
appeared several weeks ago is still
evident. From the extreme low point
late in October, a 10-cent advance has
been recorded. Cash demand is fairly
good with a little export business
working.

Unofficial estimates indicate a
smaller crop than a month ago, and
about the same yield as last year.
The fact that the crop is poor in the
territory which usually supplies most
of the corn going to Chicago probably
will be a supporting influence during

the winter.
OATS.

Oats prices had a good advance a
week ago‘ due to speculative buying,
stimulated by the small visible supply
and belief that stocks remaining in
the country are light. Much of the
upturn was lost later when these
buyers sold out. Cash demand has
been just about equal to the primary
receipts, resulting in negligible
changes in the visible supply for sev-

eral weeks.
SEEDS.

The upward trend in prices of red
and alsike clover seed which started
two months ago has slowed down in
the last ten days. Timothy seed also
had a moderate setback. According
to the United States Department of
Agriculture, about 55 per cent of the
red clover seed had left growers’
hands up to November 22 compared
with 60 per cent last year. About 75
per cent of the alsike seed has been
moved compared with 85 per cent last
year. Prices to growers on that date
averaged $25.20 per hundred pounds,
basis clean seed, for red clover and
$22.85 for alsike compared with $30.70

  

  

and $27.05 on the corresponding date "
a. year previous. 1 . -
FEEDS. ,_

Feed prices have continued strong.
partly because of moderate supplies
and partly because of strength in feed
grains. The arrival of winter weather
probably will stimulate consuming de-
mand. Production of millfeeds for
the season to, October 31 was nearly
5 per cent less than a year previous
and the smallest since the records
were begun in 1923. Supplies of cot-
tonseed reaching the mills in the
south are moderate and prices of cot-.
tonseed meal have advanced. The rise
in cottonseed meal is turning some de-
mand to linseedmeal and prices of
the latter advanced in spite of the
larger output. Firmness in corn has
helped hominy feed prices and mills
are sdld far enough ahead on gluten
feed to give strength to that market.

Chicago -— B r a 11 $32.50; standard
middlings, $32; hominy feed, $38; '
gluten feed $35.70; old process oil
meal, 34%, $49; tankage, 60%, $75;
cottonseed meal, 43%, $48.

HAY.

Demand for hay has been limited
but the light offerings resulted in
steady prices. Open weather has re-
duced the amount of indoor feeding,
but with the arrival of the season
when more sustained cold weather is
probable, demand is likely to improve.
Since prices are low,, a moderate ad—
vance seems quite possible. Alfalfa
appears to be in better position than
other varieties. Brisk inquiry from
the south and southeast is reported
and mill demand is active at Kansas
City, while country offerings have

been small.

the surplus at that time will have

POTATOES.

Potato prices have shown but little
change recently, Northern Round
Whites being quoted at $1.30 to $1.65
per 100 pounds in the Chicago carlol:
market. Colder weather may give the
market a stronger tone.
carlot shipments from the 19 leading
main crop states are only slightly
larger than to the same date last year,
whereas the crop was estimated'at 23
million bushels greater, indicates that
growers and shippers have been hold-
ing back for higher prices. Prices are
enough lower than last year to dis-
count-some increase
available for the rest of the cropyear.

come‘on the market except at higher
prices. Consumer demand is only fair
as is to be expected around the holi-
days, but is expected to pick up after
the first of the year when prices are
likely to work higher.

back quickly later when “the supply
The top
at Chicago stands at $18, nothing ar-
r’ivlng comparable in quality with the
$19 steers at the end of November.
Low grades are showing greatest
strength, due to the decline in the
supply of western rangers, to substi-

”'tution for better grades costing con-

siderably more money and to con-
tinued strength in prices for feeder
steers.

'FEEDERS ARE ABSORBED .

 

 

HILE there is much nervous-
ness as to the continuation of
prevailing prices for shOrt-fed

steers, demand for stockers and feed:

ers is sufficient to absorb the avail-
able supply at the highest level of
the year. Shipments to the country
frOm twelve leading markets were
about up to normal but mine of the
shortage in numbers on feed due to
the light shipments prior to November
has been made good. Since the fat
cattle marketed are showing handsome
profits, the general tendency has been
to reinstate in spite of the high cost
of thin cattle.

Hoes' IN DEMAND AT $8.50 ,

 

H (5G prices dropped back to the low
point of the year in the last
~ week. The Chicago top fell
below $9 for the first time in over
three years. Making allowance for
the increase in country buying, the
total number of hogs passing into the
hands of packers probably is the larg-
est in two years. The middle of De--
cember and the middle of January
usually witness the peak movement
for the winter, so that the movement
will not become much heavier than
at present.

Demand for hogs is keen when they
can be bought at around $8. 50, Chi-
cago basis. Current prices are about
33 lower than a. year ago and $2. 50
lower than two years ago, so that hog
products, especially meats, accumulat-
ing in storage are costing consider-
ably 1e8s than in either of the last
two years. Signs 01‘ increased for-
eign demand last week are a hopeful
feature since a broader foreign outlet
is necessary if hOg plices are‘ to get

‘ much above the present level for a

while. -

In the first nine months of 1927,
which is as far as the record is avail-
able, the dressed weight of the hogs
slaughtered under federal inspection
increased 342 million pounds over the
same periOd in 1926. Exports of meats
and lard fell off 122 million pounds.
The result was a substantial increase
in the quantity available for domestic
consumption.

TOO..MANY HEAVY LAMBS
ARRIVE

 

CHOICE handyweight lambs have
retained most of the November
gains, although the Chicago top
has dropped back to $14. 25. Receipts
of heavy lambs. have been excessive
and quotations have been pared in the
last week. There are symptoms that
Colorado lambs will be topped out
early as many of them are heavy in
weight. The first shipment of the sea-
son arrived in Chicago in the last few
days, selling at $13.40. It may be that
receipts of lambs will not diminish
enough in the next month to cause a
further advance in prices: On the
other hand, there is not much likeli-
hood Of an important decline. -

COUNTY CROP REPORTS

Isabella Co.——.~There was a goodly
amount of fall p10wing done in this
county due to the late fall. Live stock
of all kinds is in good condition and
in good demand. Grain, particularly
corn, is a little short, and some farm-
ers are selling a. little short of stock
on that account. Wheat brings $1.19;
oats 48c; barley 32 per cwt; rye 98c
hay 980; potatoes $1. Wheat and rye
are going into winter in most favor-
able conditions—W. H. .

Kent Co.——'Dhe farmers in this
county have about fifty per cent 0f
next spring’s plowing already done.
The condition of live stock is good.

TERINARY

Salty Mllk—Eight-year—Oldr cow was
sun struck last summer and she now
gives salty milk. She is in geod con-
dition. J. D.-—If your cow fully re-
covered from the sunstroke, there is
no' reason why it should be necessary
to dispose of her. Milk from cows
toward the end of the lactation, fre-
quently has a salty taste. In this case
it would be advisable to dry her off.
Try giving 1 lb. epsom salts, also dis-
cairging the first 3 or 4 streams .of
m .

Mange—Little pigs have mange
badly. What can I do? M. L.—Crude
petroleum is one of the best remedies
against mange in pigs. It can be ap-
plied in various ways, though is most
effective When used in the form of a
spray.

Bloody Urine—COW passes bloody
urine. She strains much. K.—
Bloody urine may be the result of in
jury, disease of the kidneys, or from-
eatin irritant plants. Give 1 lb.
glaub r salts in quart water. The
bowels should be kept in a laxative
condition by occasional doses of 1A,» to
37.1 lbs. Keep the cow off pasture and
give only good clean food and water.
Give drinks of boiled flaxseed, also 6
drops hydrochloric acid in pint water,
twice daily for several days, then dis-
continue. this and give 2 tablespoon-
fuls bicarbonate of soda twice daily
either in Water or feed. Apply a mus-
tard poultice over the loins.

Contagious Abortion —Is carbolic
acid a cure for contagious abortion?
J. P.—CarbOIic acid is of no value in
the treatment of contagious abortion.

Fails to Breed—~Hav'e a young cow

that fails to breed. Have taken her

to bull several times. What can I
do? T. R—Failure to get with calf
is due to some abnormal condition
of the generative organs. It would be
advisable to have the cow examined
by your local veterinarian and locate
the cause of the trouble. He will then
be able to give such treatment that
he finds necessary.

Contagious Abortion—In May 1926

 

I after seven months dropped a hair-

mean

  

, t} ‘ case: If
~.22g;11e cow al few days
The cow bred again and

less calf. The afterbirth came clean.
I called another veterinarian who also
said it was not contagious abortion.
The cow was sold. Now I haveaan-
other cow that dropped her calf and
her blood test shows the disease. .
What can I do and should I call a
veterinarian in to clean up the ani-
mals and premises? ‘0. $.‘—The loss
of your calves has no doubt been due
to contagious abortion. It would be
advisable to have your herd vaccin-
ated, by your veterinaiian, as he sug-
gests. We would not advise you to
try and do this yourself. It requires
considerable experience and training
to do this work and get the desired
results. His fee is very reasonable
for this service. Sanitation is just as
essential as vaccination, so would sug-
gest that you get his advice and assis-
tance in your effort to stamp out the
disease.

Chronic Nasal Catarrh—Angora cat
discharges mucous from her nostrils.
Her eyes are bright and do not run.
She appears to be in good health. She
has had the trouble for al year or
more. D B.——-Chronic nasal catarrh
is very difficult to treat, since it is
usually caused by diseased tissue or
bone,.or tumors in the nasal passage.
Carefully syringe the nasal passages
once daily, with a. solution of zinc sul-
phate—5 grains to one ounce of warm
water. Give 1 drop Fowlers solution
in teaspoonful water, 3 times daily for
10 days, then discontinue a few days
and repeat.

CRANKCASE

XPERIENCE teaches you that cold-
weather operation may be hard on
the engine of your automobile or

: motor truck. Repair expense may pile up.
But do you know the cause of most
winter engine troubles? Do you know
i the remedy?

Poor or incorrect winter oil in your
crankcase speeds wear—perhaps 2.5%.
' Poor or incorrect winter oil prevents
quick engine response to the starter.
Your batteries may need recharging fre-
quently.

In winter, due to more frequent use
_ of the choke in starting, extra gasoline
slips by your piston rings to dilute your
crankcase oil—perhaps as much as a
pint in a few difficult starts.

Eight hours of cold weather driving
may put a tumblerful of water into your
crankcase. How? Water vapor, a prod-
uct of gasoline combustion, passes the
rings and ls condensed on the cold walls

of your crankcase before your engine-

becomes heated.

rHow to avoidwinter troubles

than they use in summer. The Mobiloil
