FARM NOTES.





 





 





Clipping New Seedlngs of Alfalfa.





I. hnvo :\ small field of alfalfa sccdcd in

the outs inst spring. It looks good. 'l‘hn

stubbl‘e is about six inches high with

some weeds on the low ground. VVouid

it. be advisublt- lo cut this and leave it

as a mulch or take it off or leave the

stubble as it is?



Mason Co. H_ O,



Alfalfa should not be cut. at any time

except when the new shoots have started

from the crowns. Clipping at any other

time will tend to destroy the vitality of

the plant, as some will necessarily lay

dormant until the new buds have start—

(d. New scodings of alfalfa are some—

‘limes ruined in this way. Even if there

are considerable weeds it would not in

the writer‘s opinion. pay to clip the seed—

ing unless it has reached a stage of

growth as above dosm‘ibcd.



Sowing Alfalfa on Creek Bottom Land.



l have a field of black creek bottom

land, which last your raised over 100 bu.

of car corn to the ncrc. This your the

llcld is covered with a promising crop of

sugar beets. i am thinking of putting In

alfalfa in the spring and would like your

opinion as to sowing without plowing.

’l‘he- surface of this soil is very mellow in

the spring following a cultivated crop.

we seldom plowing for cats or barley al~

lt‘l‘ corn It is probably only three or

four feot to water. but the surface drains

readily; would you consider this ground

too low for raising alfalfa?



\Vushte-uaw (Jo. \V. .l. 11-



Because of the fact that alfulfa pro—

fits a rather dry soil with good aeration,

there is a general impression that it will

not grow well upon land such as is de~

scribed in this inquiry. However, crock

bottom hind only a few feet above the

water level may be much better drained,

in fact. than a heavy. wet, upland soil

that has not been thoroughly lllt‘tl. As

touching upon this point we quote as

follows from Joseph lti. \Ving's book on

Alfalfa in America, since there- is prob-

ably no better authority upon alfalfa

growing than Mr. \Viug. In reply to tne

question, “\Vhat are the requirements of

the alfalfa plant as regards soil?" he

says:



“First. it likes soil to be dry, dry even

in a wet time. That is, it ought to be a

soil that will not [ill up with water and

remain waterlogged for many days. Al-

falfa loves moisture, too, but it must

have moisture and air in the soil at the

some time. Thus it likes well drained

hams, alluvial soils along rivers or

creeks, (such lands are usually the best

drained). or even gravelly soils, so they

have also fertility. If naturally well-

drained lands are not on your farm then

you can make the land dry with tiles.

It is entirely practicable to drain land

naturally wet and ‘crawfishy’ with tiles

so that it will grow alfalfa well. The

writer has tested this on Woodland Farm

where, with his brother he has laid many

miles of tile underdrains. In truth, not

much of Woodland. Farm would grow al-

falfa before it was underdrained. Now

about the heaviest and surest crops grow





thai ’ would be better not to plow it.

sim _ where the surface works up finely

without plowing, a better seed bed could

be prepared fer a crop like alfalfa than

would be possible were the ground plow-

ed before seeding.



Orchard Grass.



Il’ill you kindly tell me if orchard grass

wmild be profitable on a hemlock ridge

wl‘ere the soil is light? Also what do

you know about billion dollar grass?



Osceola (To. F. McC.



Orchard grass grows best in deep, rich,

moist clay loam soils, possessed of a.

sufficiency of lime, but! it will also do

Well on sandy loam 'soils with a clay

subsoil. In fact, it will do well on al-

most any soil that is rich, well drained

and porous. It does not, however, do as

well on a thin sandy soil and would not

in the writer’s opinion, produce an abun-

dance of forage upon a light hemlock

ridge, such as is mentioned in this in-

quiry. This grass is most commonly sown

in early spring, but it may also be sown

'with success at various seasons of the

year. It should not, however, be sown

late in the autumn as the young plants

would not get of sufificitnt size and vigor

to endure a hard winter. It may be smvn

either alone or with a nurse crop, or

seeded in grain, as desired. On this kind

'(.1‘ soil it would be bestte'r‘to experiment

with it in a small way than to sow it as

a main dependance. This advice would

also apply to billion dollar grass and

other new forage plants which had al—

ways better be grown in an experimental

way until one gets information at first

hand as to what they will do on his soil

and under his local conditions.





HOW TO PREPARE SOD GROUND FOR

WHEAT.





 





In answer to L. \V. A., Van Buren

county, Mich, would say that. to pre-

pare sod ground for wheat, plow the sod

under, go over with the roller and har—

row a couple of times. Leave it lay un-

til ncxt year for wheat then plow it

again to get sod back on top and drill in

the wheat and follow with clover and

rcvl—top and no timothy. I have already

:1 good catch this way.



Pennsylvania. REAnuR.



I am sure that I am very glad indeed

to get D. H. R.’s opinion about prepar-

ing sod ground for wheat and I have no

doubt that many readers of The Farmer

will also be pleased. There isn’t any

question but what he is perfectly right.

that if you will take the sod ground this

your and plow it and roll it down well

and leaVe it until next year, then plow

it again, that he will get it in good shape

to seed to whcan a year from this fall.

But it is pretty COStly. The inquirer m

a. previous issue of The Farmer wanted

to know how to prepare the 'sod ground

for wheat this fall. He didn’tv want to

wait a year. He wanted a crop next

year, when D. H. R. is putting in his

wheat, and I think it would have been

perfectly proper to do as I said; to plow

the ground as soon after haying as pos—

sible. roll it down, work it. up, get it

well packed down and seed to wheat in

September. Thus handled, it makes a.

pretty good seed bed. I would not hes-

itate at all about putting in a piece of

sod into wheat if I could get it plowed

in August. I should want to use a. good

application of commercial fertilizer to

giVe the wheat: a good start until the

roots get down to this sod and the sod

gets rotted. In this way you wouldn’t

have to wait a year, which would be too

expensive. COLON C. LILLm.

THE BOYS’ STATE FAIR SCHOOL.





 





The best attraction on the fair grounds

was the Boys‘ State Fair School. The

school was organized this year for the

first time, for the mutual benefit of the

boys and the fair. The school was in

charge. of a committee of three State

Fair directors—N. P. Hull, Frank COW-

ard, 11nd Thos. M. Sattler. After the

place was decided on Ihe work was giv-

en over to Thos. M. Sat‘tler, of Jackson“

Mich., to carry out the plans of thei

committee. -



The school was to consist of one boy

from each county in Michigan, and 71

out of the 83 counties sent their repre-

sentative to the school. The boy in each L

county wus chosen by a committee of

lhl‘ec. (County School Commissioner,

Muster of Pomona. Grange. and 'l’rcsident

of County 11‘11rnicn‘s' Institute Society),

after all the applicants had taken thei

regular counIy eighth grade examination:

and an agricultural examination. These‘

examinations were Iukcn on the 16th and

17th of Muy in each county of the state. ‘

The county committee of three was to

meet on the 4th of June and choose the

boy to represent their county, from ‘19

best average in these twa examinations.



Mr. Sattler was in close touch with

the boys 1111 summer and will be glad to

(:OI'respond with anyone interested in the





 





Boys' State Fair work.



The boys were a line lot of follows and

every hoy holnivcd Iikc a man the en-

Careful inquiry at the Iowa State Fair

failed to discover a great. many good

horses, and big horses were really scarce.

A visitor at the fair said: "One ex-

hibitor at the fair, showing in the grade

classes. had forward four mares, one

four—year—old and three three-year-olds.

He priced them to a shipper on the

grounds at $1.200 for the four head and

declined 1‘0 sell the four-year-old at $300

unless the younger fillies went with her

at the same price. The oldest of the lot

weighed only 1,650 lbs.

HARD TO SEE





Even When the Poets About Coffee are Plain.





 





It is curious how people will refuse to

believe What one can clearly see.



Tell the average man or woman that

the slow but cumulative poisonous effect

of caffeine—the alkaloid in tea. and coffee;

——tends to weaken the heart, upset the'i

nervous system and cause indimstion,t

and they may laugh at you if they’don’t

know the facts.





demonstration in the recovery of coffee,





a large per cent of 'the human family





will shrug their shoulders, take some

drugs and—keep on drinking coffee

or ten.





“Coffee never agreed with me nor with

several members of our household."

writes a ‘lady. “It enervates, depressed

and creates a. feeling of languor and

heaviness. It was only by leaving off

coffee and using Postum that we discov—

ered the cause and way outof these ills.”



“The only reason, I am sure, Why

Postum is not used altogether to the ex-

clusion of ordinary coffee is. many per—

sons do not know and do not seem will-

ing to learn the facts and how to pre-

pare this nutritious beverage. There‘s

only one way—according to directions—~

boil it fully 15 minut‘es. Then it is de-

licious." Name given by Postum Co.,

THE 'MICH'IGAN FARMER.





New HUDSON 5:37"





Furnished Complete—No Extras to Buy.





Not Even Howard E. COffin

CouldBuild Such A Car As This





Everyone knows that Howard E. Coffin is the Master Automobile Designer of America. He has built more

successful four-cylinder cars than has any other man.





But working alone. he is not capable of building an automobile equal to the New HUDSON “37."





A New Idea.





For more than two years Mr. Coffin

has been organizing this staff of engi-

neers. There are 48 now. They have

been gathered from all the automobile

building nations—from France, Ger-

many, England, Belgium and Austria.

They came from 97 different factories.

Combined they have had a hand in

building more than 200,000 cars.





It is carrying out the idea of team

work which is the foundation upon

which all successful concerns are now

built.





Experts specially fitted to do certain

kinds of work combined their knowl-

edge. Therefore the HUDSON “37”

represents more than that which any

one man could do. Even Mr. Coffin,

with his wide knowledge and recognized

ability in creating new ideas, would

fall short in an endeavor to build a

car equal to the HUDSON “37.”





Automobiles have heretofore been de-

signed usually by one man, just as Mr.

Coffin, in all his previous cars has





 





Some Will Advise You to Wait





Some may say to you “The HUDSON ‘37’ is a new car. Wait

and see what-it does during its first year. Get some older car—one

that has been developed slowly, that has been improved year after

year but which is a radical change from the leading engineering





practices. ’ ’





That was sound advice when no builder had had experience. It

is sound advice as applied to any car built by any one man. It does





depended principally upon his now

ability.



Into the cars of any one man is com-

bined the experience and ability of the

individual. There also is incorporated

into such cars all the errors and

hobbies, some of them impracticable, that

any individual is very apt to overlook.





Are Mistakes Probable

Under Such Conditions?





We fortify ourselves against error by

focusing upon every detail the com-

bined skill and experience of as many

experts as we can obtain.





We do not limit ourselves. When—

ever a man was found who could do

work better than any one else and we

have need for such work, that man was

induced to join this organization.





That is why there are 48 engineers

in this company—the largest number

employed by any automobile manu-

facturer in the industry, and that is

why HUDSON cars go out without

mistakes. That is why there has been





Electric Self-Cranking—Electrically Lighted





no error in judgment. Experience is

not bought at the expense of the buyer

after the car is in his hands. It is

paid for out of the combined experi-

ence of the men who build the car.

We pay it in salaries and not in re-

placements. Yet many of these men

are substantially interested in the

Hudson Motor Car Company.



The Hudson Motor Car Company is

not owned by individuals who do not

contribute to the success of the busi-

ness. With the exception of one

holder of a small amount of stock,

everyone interested in this company is

actively engaged in its operation.

Consequently no earnings must be

made for brains that are not responsi-

ble for those earnings.



There is no large overhead—no water.

That accounts, in addition to the value

of brains in the engineering—in ad-





dition to the elimination of error, for





the fact that in the HUDSON “37” is

given a quality not obtainable in any

other car and never possible under any

other conditions.





 





What These 48 Men Have Done





The HUDSON “37” is electrically self-cranking and electrically





lighted. It is fully equipped,- has 12-inch upholstery, top, rain vision

Windshield, a motor which develops '





clock, 36x4 inch wheels,118-inch wheel base,tools and other equipment.





87-43 horsepower, speedometer,





Therefore it has the best quality we know how to produce. Every





detail of luxury is developed'to the highest degree. The car is entire-

ly operated from the driver’s seat. Lights are controlled from the

The market for cattle in the Chicago

and other western markets has been var—

iable for some time, past, sales depend-

ing a good deal on the quality of the of-

ferings. The. chCicest beeves have touch-

cr still further high record's, this apply—

ing to western rangers, as well as to

prime natives, but. the undesirable offer-

ings, while selling at much higher figures

than in former years, have displayed

frequent dullness and weakness, with de—

clines on several occasions. Cattle buy-

ers have complained of a slack demand

for beef, prime kinds excepted, and this

has been especially the case at times

when the Wcather was warmer than us—

ual, but the time. for extremely hot

weather is now past, and a more even

trade may reasonably be expected. As

to the high—class beevcs, whether native

Or range cattle, there are known to be

so comparatively few in the country that

no danger of oVersupplied markets ex—

ists. and high prices are assurrd tor a

long time to come. Certainly the pros—

pective prices for fat‘ cattle. for the ap—

proaching winter feeding season are so

high that owners should not sacrifice

them by premature marketing. It is

iolly to send to market plain grass cattle

at prices far below their prospective val—





lie in a period of such dear llt't'f. Gen—

erally the. quality of the range cattle

marketed this season has been so good

that the plain native cattle are net?-

lected, causing them to sell at a large

discount. A bad feature of the. cattle





trade is the increased Offerings of info»

rior beef in the, retail markets at prices

that at first. stimulate sales, bilt subse-

quently cause them to be avoided, for

the average. faimly prefers good pork or

mutton to poor beef.



Because of the relatively hilh prices

asked for 'focder cattle of strong weight

in western market‘s, numerous country

buyers have been purchasing numerous

lots of the lighter weights of stockers

and feeders. This is a time when nearly

everything in the. feeder line is given

close attention by prospective buyers.

and sales of cows, heifers and bulls have

been unusually large of late. In short,

farmers are ready t'o buy anything in the

cattle. line that gives any promise of

making fair gains on their big crops of

grain and hay. To a considerable extent

the. offerings of cattle of the feeder type

have increased of late through the mar-

ketl'ing at Kansas City of thin cattle from

the burned pastures of Kansas.

THE DAIRY- Z





L“ -

CONDUCTED BY COLON C. LTLLIE.





SOILING CROPS VS. THE SUMMER



' SILO.



To my mind the system of soiling or

cutting greeln crops and drawing them

into the barn and feeding them to the

dairy herd from day to day is not to be

compared with the summer silo, neither

from a labor standpoint nor from a

standpoint of general efficiency. I have

tried both systems and there is not any

question in my mind as to the economy

and the convcnience of the summer silo.

The present season has been an extreme

season so far as moisture is concerned.

Now just imagine a. man who had de-

nended on carrying a good large herd of

dairy cows through the summer on soil-

ing crops. The crops would grow this

year no doubt. there is plenty of moist-

ure. But the difficulty would come in

harvesting them. There has not been

two weeks at a time this summer but

what it would be extremely difficult to

cut these soiling crops and haul them off

have decent weathers Sometimes, of

course, we have to, like last fall, out the

corn by hand, but it is no worse to cut

it by hand when it is mature than in the,_

summer time in the mud. But at any

rate, you leave the entire crop until it is‘

mature, so it contains the largest per

cent of digestible nutrients, and then

you cut it and put1 it into the silo. It is I

dOne in a businesslike way and at much

less expense. Next summer you have

your succule’nt food under cover in close

proximity to the stable- and a man can

readily feed it with the least expenditure

of time and labor.



A great deal is lost in this soiling sys-

tem of feeding cattle by feeding crops

that are either immature or that are too

ripe. You take a crop of rye, which is

the earliest green food that you. can get. ,

Now you begin to feed this before it is

properly developed. Before green clover

comes in, or alfalfa perhaps, the rye is

getting too ripe. You feed it when it

becomes woody and save the rest of it

for hay, waiting for the next crop. And

so when the clover comes, or any other

crop. You are liable to begin feeding it

just before you ought and to continue'

feeding it after it is past its best, wait-

ing for the next crop. In. this way not

without injury to the land. The ground

has» been saturated with moisture part

of the time. in fact. a grout” deal (it the

tune, where it would have been extremely

difficult to get On with a wagon to draw

off a crop, and if a man wants to do this

sort of business for a commercial herd

of dairy cows he has got to cut his

crops with a mowing machine, he has

got to rake them up with a horse rake,

and perhaps he ought to load them with

a. hay loader. if he doesn‘t it is going t‘o

take a vast amount of human labor to

do the work. Now when he figures On

this in a wot season he will find out that

iit. is not only very inconvenient but it

will injure the land and will be well nigh

imposaible many times to get the crops

and get them into the barn at the proper

Lime to feed the herd.



Now last year was another extreme

your. It was very dry most of the time.

After the middle of June we had no rain

_at all until nearly the middle of Septcm-

bcr. Unc could have harvested soiling

crops with the least expenditure of of-

fort last year than for almost any ycar

within my remembrance. It would have

been no trouble to have run a mowing

machine at any time during the summer,

it could have been raked up with a side

delivery rake, and loaded with a loader.

One man could have performed the whole

lab-rr, and day after day and week after

Week he could have gone out and got

his soiling crop and hauled it in. But

this last your would have been a year

when it would llaVe been extremely diffi—

cult to get a succession of crops for

soiling. \\'hy‘.’ Bot-nose there was a

lack of moisture. Because, if you plow-

ed the ground during the middle of the

summer and attempted to grow another

crop of peas and oats or get in a late

crop of corn there wasn't moisture

enough so it could germinate, and it

would not grow. That would be another

cxtrcme. But those kind of years come

morc often than one thinks for unless

he is depending upon something of this

sort where he has to take notice of the

weather. I tried the soiling system for

two years. I struck two bad years, just

such years as last year and just such a





 





dry that we couldn't get" a succession of

soiling crops that amounted to anything

and the next year was so wet that we

had to harvest them in the mud.

only much of the feed is wasted by,

THE BEST GRAIN RATI‘ON.





 





 





\Yhat would be the- cheapest for me to

feed to grade dairy cows with clover and

timothy mixed hay, with feeds at the

following prices: Oil cake, $2 per cwt.;

(-ot'losccd meal, $2 per cwt.; flour mid—

diirgs, $1.75 per cwt.; wheat bran, $1.60

per cwt: corn meal. $1.75 per cwt



Baruga Co. R. C. K.



“'ith mixed clover and timothy hay I

would feed for a grain ration wheat bran,

corn meal, and cottonseed men], taking

into consideration the prices named. I

would mix wheat bran and corn meal

equal parts by weight, not. by measure,

and I would make this the bulk of the

grain ration. However. to the new milch

cows I would fced a little cottonseed

meal, I dont think more than a pound a

day I used to advise two pounds per

day, but 1 am cu'ting down on the

amount of cottonseed meal to feed dairy

cows. especially a breeding herd, and I

don't think I would recommend to any—

one to few} over a pound of cottonseed

meal a day. The cot‘tonseed meal, of

course, might be mixed with the wheat

bran and the corn meal at the same time

these two foods are mixed but I don’t

like to advise this on amount of the fact

that it is difficult to get an even distri-

buion of cottonseed meal with wheat

bran and corn meal, and then it doesn't

stay mixed very well after it is mixed.

The cottonseed meal is so fine that it

tends to separate, and I think cottonseed

meal ought to be handled with extreme

caution. You ought to know just how

much you are feeding. If a careless man

mixes cottonseed meal with wheat bran

and corn meal and then feeds a. good

liberal grain ration there might be half

of it cottonseed meal, which I do n0t

think would be safe at all. One can

figure out a way that won’t be very much

trouble to feed the cottOnseed meal SED-

arat’e.



If you believe in a good liberal grain

ration you can feed a pound of grain per

day for every pound of butter-fat that

the cow produces in a week, or you can

get goOd results by a little lighter grain

ration, but once a day you can feed the

cows a pound of cottonseed meal, or you

can give them a half pound of cottonseed

meal twice a day, which would be better.

This will have to be fed separate from

the other feed but it will not take so very

much time, it will be safer, and ybu will

get better results.

HOW TO PRESERVE BEET TOPS FOR

WINTER FEED WITHOUT A

SILO.





“hat is the best method of caring for

beet tops for Winter food when one lacks

a. silo? Would it do to pile in a barn

and cover with marsh grass?



‘Washtenaw Co. \V. I.



A loosened pile of tops in a barn cov—

ered with marsh hay WOLIld rot down in

a, short time. You could not preserve

them in this way at all. If you had a

pit in the ground of a sandy nature and

well drained, you could fill this full at

beet tops, tramp them down as much as

possible. and then cover with dirt and

preserve them as you would the beets

themselves, or potatoes. That is the way

I understand, that many of the beet tops

are preserved at the present time in Ger—

many for winter feeding. You could make

a pit five or six feet wide and as long as

desired. Dig it down say two feet deep

in the ground if you have a. sandy place

that the water won’t soak into. Then

drive right through this pit in filling the

beet tops, and drive over it with the next

load. In that way you will get them

packed down. Then put on some straw

and cover the dirt that was thrown out

over the beet tops. Then in the winter,

begin at one of this long pit to ‘take the

tops out and feed them. If you have a

place near the barn where you can stOl‘e

them in this way, you can handle them

very well. The only other way I know of

is to leave them in small piles about the

size of a bushel basket. There isn’t

enough of them together in these' piles to

spoil so they will keep a long time in

this way—until after the holidays.





BEST BREED OF DAIRY COWS.





I want to get better started in dairy—

inng and would like to know what breed

of cows is best adapted for that purpose

in your experience. I have no kind .in

mind but think 1 would like the Ayrshire

or Guernscys or I’lolst'e'ins. 1 want to

raise pigs also on the skim-milk as far

as it would go. Please tell me just what

y0u think about it. I have just tlnlshv-d

a 12x30—t't. stave silo. \VOllltl like to ask

how many cows I can winter as (la1ry

cows should be. Is silage very apt to

spoil in warm weather? M. \V.



This question of the best breed of dairy





cows is one that must be settled by ev—





 





rery individual farmer himself. Nobody

can settle it for him. Personally, I don’t

think there is any best breed. I believe





that. one breed is just about as good as

another when you take- everything into

consideration. There is no breed where

you can get a bunch of cows together

and breed them to perpetuate your herd

and get everyone of them to be A No. 1

animals. Man must be master of the

situation and must by rigid selection and

proper breeding keep bettering or at—

tempting to better his herd. He will

have to do this no matter whether he

gets one breed or another. I don’t think

that M. \V. B. would make any mistake

in selecting Ayrshires if he likes these

cattle, that is, admires them better than

he does the other dairy breeds. There

is no question as to their quality as dairy

animals. Some of them are splendid

cOWs and they can be made better by

careful selection and proper care. On

the other hand, the Guernseys have made

rtcords which would warrant us in say—

ing that there are no better cows than

luernsey cows, and the -same with the

.llolstcins, and also with the Jerseys. As

a matter of fact, there are four distinct

breeds of dairy cows now, the Jerseys,

the (.iucrnscys, the Holsteins, and the

Ayrshircs. They have all been bred for

generations for the sole purpose of tak-

ing the food which is produced upon the

farm and manufacturing it into milk,

into greatest profits, and one can use his

own good taste and J'Utlgment in select-

ing his breed and make sure that he

makes no mistake.



The question of skim—milk for calves

and pigs need have no bearing on the

question. One man seems to think be-

cause the Holstein gives more milk than

the Guernsey that he will have more

skim-milk for his pigs, and he will so

far as volume is concerned, but he won’t

have any more. food. \Vhile the Holstein

cow gives more milk than the Guernsey,

that milk is not as rich in butter-fat

and other solids, and consequently the

skim-milk is not' as rich and y0u can

raise more calves on 100 lbs. of Guernsey

skim-milk than you can on 100 lbs. of

Holstdin skim-milk simply because it

doesn’t contain as much water. This, of

course, is figuring that you have got

equally as good a Guernsey cow, whose

value is determined nov alone by the

amount of milk she gives, but by the

quality of the milk as well.



A 12x30 ft. silo will hold about 60 to 65





 





 





THE MIcHI‘GAN





tons of ensilage, or it contains about

6,500 cubic feet. Now if you get large

Holstein cows you can figure on a Hob

stein cow eating a cubic foot of ensllage

per day. If you get the other breeds

they won't eat quite so much. An ordi—

nary sized Jersey cow ought not to have

over 25 or 30 lbs. of corn silage per day.

In fact, that is about all they will eat,

with clover hay and grain in the ra-

tion. They, not: being as lange we must

figure the ration in proportion to their

size. A large cow, other things being

equal, will give more milk and produce

more butter-fat than a small cow, but

it costs more to feed her and this must

be taken into consideration. Of the larger

cows, 3. silo of the above size would ‘pro-

vide silage sufficient. to feed sixteen for

about 200 days.



MORE ECONOMICALLY PRODUCING



COWS NEEDED.



Interesting comparisons and informa-

tion were gathered in the recent contests

held by the dairy authorities of VViseon-

sin. “'hile most of the work covers

ground already investigated the conclu-

sions are suggestive to the. progressive

daiiymen,



The average yearly production of the

dairy cows of the state of 'Wisconsin is

estimated to be worth but little more

than the annual cost if the fced eaten

by these cows. A compilation of aver-

ages and a wide acquaintance with

dairymen and dairy conditions has led

the authorities to the conclusion that the:

cOWs of that great dairy state which an-

nually produccs more butter and cheese

than any of the other states of the Un-

ion do not average more than 170 pounds

of butler—fat a year, which is equivalent

to about 200 pounds of butter. This

amount of butter at 25c IM'I‘ pound on

the farm would give a return of $50 per

year for each cow, for the butter-fat. If

to this is added $20 to cover value of

calf and skim—milk a twin] gross receipt

of $70 is reached. The value of the feed

consumed annually by the average cow

has been estimated tO' come within a

lather wide range Of prices, but there is

a sort of concurrence in the estimate of

$50 per cow; on an average the cows ‘in

the test were fed ovcr $70 worth of feed

each. At a cost of $50 we have but $20

and the value of the manure to cover

cost of labor, interest on the additional

equipment and the value of the cows anal

allowances for depreciation. luven recog.

nizing the fact that dairying saves to

the farm fertility and dairymen are will-

ing to work for little or no pay, the

showing is not a flattering one.



The range of net profits from the dif—

i‘ercnt herds is wide. The average net

returns from the best ten cows was

$124.29 which was 52 per cent of the av-

erage gross value. of each ’cow’s products,

the cost of feed per cow being $114.86;

while the average net returns ‘of the

poorest ten was $14.89, or 20 per cent of

the gross value of each cow's products,

the average cost of feed in this instance

being $61.10. That is to say, one of the





best ten cows would make $2.08 worth 01"





products from $1.00 worth of feed con—

sumed, while one of the poorest ten

cows would make only $1.24 worth of

product's from each dollar’s worth Of feed

used.



The dairy farmers of \Visconsln are

losing money upon probably 30 per cent

of the cows kept. Exact proof of till:-

statement cannot be made. If the farm-

crs knew the cows of their herds that

were not returning as much in milk value

as they were eating in feed value then

“boarders” would be sent to the sham-

bles at once. But thcy do not know and

it is, therefore, impossible to give abso-

lute evidencc that 3 per cent of the

cows are kept at a loss. Nevertheless,

the work done among the common herds

shows that, as a general rule, about that

per cent are non-productive of net profit.

Not only have the authorities learned

this amiallin-g condition but the Lise of

the tester and scales is bringing the facts

home to many dairymcn themselves. By

eliminating these animals from the herds

of the state the net returns from the

remaining cows will be actually more

than is the present net income.



A careful examination into the work

indicates that the individual merit of the

cow is of more importance to her owner

than is the fact of her belonging to any

particular dairy breed. It matters not

whether a man favors Jerseys, Guern-

sey's, Holsteins or any of the other dairy

breeds, he will not prove a successful

dairyman until he acquaints himself with

the use of the tester and scales and oth--

erwise becomes skillful in the selecting

of good individuals.

PRACTICAL SCIENCE“





SPECIAL ARTICLES ON MILK.





 





 





 





BY FLOYD W. ROBISON,





Milk as a Food.



Among dieticians and physiological

chemists milk is usually spoken of as the

one example of a perfect food. By this

term. “Perfect Food,” is meant that it

has constituents which meet every de-

mand made upon the human body. This

statement we shall soon see is not en—

tirely correct although in a general way

it does hold true. Especially is this

statement an apt one when milk is con-

sidered as a food for infants, in es-

pecially the first few months of life.

Among mammals milk is the only food

which the young have for a period vary-

Ing from a few days to several months.

‘Vhile milk is a perfect food for infants

it lacks several characteristics which are

required in the food of human beings

who have passed the infant stage. Phys—

iologists state that the appearance of

firm teeth in infants is one of the signs

which nature has provided to indicate

the period when milk should be supple-

mented by some other food. We think

the best scientific data on this point, as

to the length of time a child should be

fed milk, has been furnished by Bunge, a

celebrated German chemist, who has

maintained, as a result of his experi-

mental data, that it is absolutely essen—

tial, in order to preserve the health and

vigor of childhood, that infants should be

taken from an exclusive diet of milk

alone aften ten months. Of course, it is

impossible to set any exact definite time

or period as the time limit beyond which-

milk should not serve as an exclusive

diet. The method by which Bunge ar-

rived at his results is a very interesting

one, indeed. and we think will be of in—

terest here.



Iron is the Key.



It is well known among scientists that

the content of iron in milk is very low,

indeed, compared with that present in

some vegetable food stuffs. Just exactly

why this is true is difficult to say, except

that it is apparent that iron is so neces—

sary to the maintaining of the various

physiological functions of the human body

that nature has with difficulty provided

for the bodily needs. to say nothing of

permitting any of it 'to be elaborated in

the various secretive products such as

milk. Bunge’s results were obtained by

experimenting on dogs. lie found by an

analysis at the time of birth that the

young had stored up in Wheir systems a

considerable quantity of iron which was

used as a reservoir for the supply of iron

to the body during the early stages of

the animal life and when he found upon

analysis of the milk that it carried in-

deed, a very small quantity of iron, it

bacamo at once apparent that nature.

realizing the tremendous drain on the

animal system, through an elaboration

of iron in the mother’s milk, provided

this supply in the young animal’s body

to last it through the first short period

of its existence. Knowing, by analysis,

that the iron content of the mother’s

milk was practically the same at the

birth of the young as later in the period

of lactation, it also bccame- apparent that

when this reserve supply of iron had be.-

come exhausted, that naturally marked

the end of the period when milk alone

should be the food of the young animal.

Tlicrci‘ore, he suggested as a rcsult of

this laboratory finding that when the in-

fant reached the age of about ten months

its reserve store of iron would theoreti-

cally be exhausted and this point should

mark the time when milk should cease

to serve to be the exclusive food for the

infant. Naturally, it milk should now be

supplemented by some other food for 'the

Milk Deficient in Mineral Matter.



In support of this theory it has been

known for some time that an exclusive

in some families, is very apt to cause a.

deficiency of mineral matter in the bones

of the young with the accompany rickets.

children. Anaemia is one of the very

prevalent diseases of human beings who

live. usually, in cities, and it is a. con-

which contain a low content of iron.

GETTING READY FOR WINTER.



VVVide—awake poultrymen are now busy

getting things in shape for winter. There

are many things to do before cold weath-

er sets in if we are to make the rowis

comfortable and profit producing through-

out the. winter months. On most farms

the poultry house will need a general

overhauling to put it in condition to

withstand the rigors of winter. The in-

terior should be whitewashed thoroughly

before the young stock is put into it.

Lice have been very prolific during the

hot weather, but if the house is thor-

oughly cleaned and disinfectied now the

lock will be reasonably free from these

pests during the winter.



Does the roof leak? If so, look after

it now. It should be put in good condi—

tion before the fall rains set in. A leaky

roof is a source of danger, especially in

Winter. The Iloor and litter will become

wet and filthy and stock compelled to

work on such a iloor cannot be kept

healthy and Iiroductive.



The windows will also need a little at—

tention at this time. No doubt some of

the panes have been broken and need

replacing; others are loose and need new

putty. This should all bo attended to

now and not put off until the last mo—

ment when the press of other Work will

interfere. Sagging doors and gates will

need straightening. Broken hinges should

be replaced, and there are probably a

half dozen other things that should claim

attention at this time.



If the floor is an earth one it will be

best to I‘eIIIOVc several inches of surface

Silo and replace it with fresh dirt. The

droppings have fouled the surface but rc—

moving this and replacing with fresh soil

or gravel renders it pure and fresh

again. Clean litter must also h.- pro—

vided, putting under cover a supply that

will last through the winter. Have this

litter of as coarse and as light material

as you can get. It should be coarse in

order to allow the grains to fall through

to the bottom, and light so that the

fowls can easily scratch it about. Have

it amply deep so that the whole grains

will not be picked up readily. From six

to eight inches is about the proper depth.



Clean out the old neSting material and

burn it. Then whitewash the interior of

the nest boxes thoroughly and put in

clean straw or hay. If you are short of





 





 





 





nests, make extra ones now. There

should be one nest for every four hens in

the house. An insufficient number of

nests causes crowding, which results ill

broken eggs and often establishes the

egg-eating habit.



Indiana. 0. E. HACHMAN.





FURTHER SUGGESTIONS ON EX-

TRACTING HONEY.



I think it quite important that extract—



iner combs and unfinished sections that

have been extracted sliould be thoroughly

cleaned it they are to be used again next

year. .1 do not know of any way in which

they can be thoroughly cleaned except’

by the bees. If there is no honey in the

fields at the time of extracting, I wait

until chning to return the extracting

SUDGFS, 'so that the bees may not be in-

cited to rob. About sunset is a good

time, and if any excitement prevails it

dies out before any damage is done. The

next morning all is quiet. In a good

season, when the bees are still at work.

the combs may be returned at once; that

is, the combs of one hive, which have

just been extracted, are exchanged tor

those of the next, and so on, through the

day. ,

l have tried keeping the combs over,

from one year to another, without giving

them back to be cleansed but I do not

like it. They are sticky, and leak more

or less; they attract mice and robber

bees, and the liquid honey that sticks

to them is likely to sour. Then when

spring comes, if we happen to put them

on the hive during a time of short yield,

we haVe some risks again from the ex—

citement caused, and some danger of

robbing.



1 have often ketpt extracted honey one,

two, three, and even four years, without

loss, while with comb honey the leakage

and the danger of invasion by the moth

make it very inadvisable to hold it be-

yond the season of its production.



In putting extracted honey on the re;—

tail market, use small packages. A glaSS

container, neatly labeled, is preferable to

all others. 1

Thanksgiving Poultry





Now is the particular season when every poultryman is preparing his

surplus stock for market. The old hens, roosters and young cockerels will

be headed for the Thanksgiving market, where good prices prevail.

The uppermost thought in every poultryman’s mind is how to make them

weigh the very last ounce.

Keep them well and singing.

There it just one natural way for this, and that is by feeding Dr. Hess

Poultry Pan-a—ce-a. It tones every organ; it drives out every disease germ. .

A WORD OF EXPLANATION.





 





The unusual curtailment of reading

matter in this issue is due to our ina-

bility to get delivery of a. shipment of

roll paper of the proper width for a 32—

page paper, thus necessitating the elim—

ination of the Magazine Section and the

Grange and Farmers' Clubs departments

from this issue. This abridgeiment will,

however, be compensated for by an ad-

ditional number of large papers as soon

as the delivery of the stock for them

can be secured.





CURRENT COMMENT.





 





The fact that 3.

Between Producer and guilt of consider—

Consumer. able magnitude

lies between the

producer and the consumer. into which

a relatively large proportion of the con-

sumer’s dollar finds its way, is well il—

lustrated by the present situation in the

milk trade of the city of Detroit. Dur-

ing the past year an organization of milk

producers contributing to Detroit's milk

supply has been formed. The primary

object of this organization, as stated in

these columns at the time, was mutual

protection against the alleged inspection

nicthods of the city department of health.

Due, apparently, to the counsel of the

more progressive element among milk

produccrs, howchr. the efforts of this

organization wcre later devoted to the

object of sccuring .~i better price for the

farmer's product due to the fact that

the high cost of production. to which the

inspcction requirements added a still fur-

ther burden, made it impossible for the

dairymcn to makc any profit in produc-

ing milk :it Hit} price which they were

receiving from Detroit distributors.



As an uppareni' result of this move-

ment. tho larger distributors of milk in

the city of Detroit have announccd an

advance in the retail price of one cent

per quart, beginning thciirst of October.

In :1 publishcd interview regarding. this

advance the statement is made by one of

tho. larger distributors that the price of

milk to the produccr, where it had for-

merly ranged from $1.55 to $1.65 per cwt.

would be advanced to $1.80 and $1.90 per

cwt. As a result of this advance of ap-

proximately 25 cents per cwt. to the pro-

duccr the price of milk to the consumer

has been raised from eight to nine cents

per quart, which means an increase in

price to the consumer of 45 to 50 cents

per cwt., of which the producer is to be

given about half in the new scale of

prices. In other words, at the proposed

scale of prices the farmer gets consid—

erably less for producing the milk ‘than

the middleman géts for collecting and

distributing it.



There is room for an organization of

For some years

The Value of Demon- co-operative dem-

stratlon Work. onstration work

has been con-

ducted on the farms of the‘ southern

states by the Bureau of Plant Industry

of the United States Department of Ag-

riculture. In view of the fact that: a.

similar line of work will be undertaken

in the northern states through the study

of farm management by special agents

of the Department of Agriculture, in

Michigan, in co-operatio‘n with the State

Board of Agriculture, through funds

made available at the recent session of

congress, a brief study of the results at-

tained in the farm demonstration work

of the south will be of interest to Mich-

igan readers.



A recent compilation of the crop re—

ports under this demonstration work

shows a very materially increased pro—

duclion» in many sections of the south

due to the demonstration methods prac-

ticed. In eastern Texas, for instance.

in 1911 151 demonstrators With cotton

grown on 1,023 acres, or an average of

8.4 acres for each demonstrator, secured

a yield of 10745 lbs. of seed cotton per

acre, while- the average yield of cotton in

eastern Texas, as estimated by the Eu-

reau of Statistics for 1911, was 8,576 lbs.

per acre. Thus it appears that the dem-

onstration methods produced an increase

of 86.5 per cent or 598.5 lbs. per acre

above the state average. which at the

currcnt price of $3 per cwt, amounted to

$14.90 per acre.



\Vith com 545 demOnStrators reported

cm 3.539 acres, an average of 6.5 acres

for cach demonstrator, with an average

yield of 21.4 bushels of shelled corn per

acre, as compared with an average yield

in eastern Texas as reported by the Bu—

reau. of Statistics of 9 5 bushels per acre.

This shows an increase under demonstra-

tion methods of 125.2 per cent, or 11.9

bushels per acre. or an estimated in-

crease in Value of $9.52.



This perhaps has been an exceptional

comparison due to the fact‘ that a severe

drouth prevailed in this section last sea—

son. thus making the demonstration

methods more instrumental in increasing

yields than would have been the case in

a normal scason. If one follows through

the report, however, an improvement in

crop yiclds will uniformly be noted. In

some insinncc-s thc. increase is even

greater In Alabama, for instance, the

increascd yield of corn under demonstra—

tion methods as secured by the demon-

strators was 160.6, or 28.9 bushels per

acre, or an estimated increased value of

$22.54.



This gcneral benefit to the southern

farmers which has been directly due to

demonstration work carried on by the

KUVcl‘nmcnt would appear to indicate that

ihcrc would bc like bcnefit ultimately de—

rchd from tho work which is contemplat—

cd in the northern states, including

Michigan, which will assume a broader

plunc, including various details of farm

management which will be 'studicd at

tint hand by men especially selected for

the work. The counties and municipali-

ties o‘;‘ the state, should readily lend the

assistance which is expected of them in

the establishment of this work along

broad, gcnerai lines which will bear early

and generous fruit in better results from

Michigan forms and consequent increased

prosperity of the state at large.

a Good Shoe ?





What do you look for, What do

Can you, when you look at a

shoe at your dealer’s, tell from

a hurried examination that the

shoo you are buying is leather in

all its parts? If you can you are

an exception, for not one in a

hundred can do so.





How, then, can you be as-

CROP AND MARKET NOTES.





Ottawa Co., Sept. 30.-—There have been

three frosts to (late, but more wus but

little damage done eXCe-pt on the night

of the 28th, when ice formed on standing

water. Only a small amount of corn has

been cut up yet. but silo filling will now

begin with a rush, and corn that is to be

husked will be cut and shocked as soon

as possible in order to save the fodder.

There will be much soft or immature

corn in many fields. Quite a few acres

of lima, beans are yet to be harvested for

the canning factory, and the heavy frost

will damage them considerably. Owing

to so much rain during the summer, the

llma bean crop was rather poor. The

canning factory at this place, (Coopers-

ville), had a. good run on sweet corn,

which was nearly all harvested before

the last frost. More second crop clover

has been cut for hay this season, ‘than

ever before, and the growth was so

heavy that it‘. has been difficult to cure

it, on account of unfavorable weather.

Not as much clover seed will be harvest-

ed this season as last year, and it is not

as well filled.



Livingston 60., Sept. 30.——The weather

this fall has been one ruin after another

it being almost impossible to secure the

bean crop in anything like good condi-

tion. Beans will be, far below normal in

yield and also in quality. A heavy frost

has already caughl corn and late beans

and but very few fields of corn were in

lit condition to harvest. Wheat has been

sown later this season than usual on ac-

count of the. wet weather. A small

acreage of wheat will be sown this fall

011 accl‘unt of lhe wet weather having

prevented farmers getting their beams off

in time to sow to wheat. Pastures are

good and feed will be more plentiful this

winter on account of clover seed not

filling well and being cut for hay.



Emmet 00., Sept. 30.—First killing frost

came the 28th. But little if any corn

has been cut, nor had any reached the

DI‘ODCI' degree of l'lDi‘lleSS. Lule‘ potatoes,

Loo, except where affected with blight,

were luxuriantly green. Rains for the

month, while not over copious, have

been continuous and lhere has been little

sunshine, The attendance at our coumy

fair was large and the exhibit good. The

exhibit by the slate, demonstrating the

injury wrought by insect pests and

iungous diseases, with an expert in at-

tendance to give instructinn regarding

the best meuns of combating them, was

an interesting and instructive feature.

August and September have been ideal

months for the growth of new seedings

and pastures. Hay, $16@17; straw, $761)

8; wheat. 95c; rye, 58c; oats, 35c; beans,

$1.75@1.88; potatoes, 350.



Indiana.



LaPor‘te 00., Sept 27,—Forty degrees

this morning makes the farmer feel chil-

ly, because the crops are not matured

for cutting. Corn is green and soft in

low spots in many fields and late planting

very green, but is ripening fast. Cow-

peas still growing and yield will be good,

but need tWQ weeks yet to ripen. A gen-

eral frost predicted October 7 to 8.

SUGGESTIONS ON PACKING APPLES.





 





 





 





 





Apple packing, like other species of

work, has about it a number of little

l'hIngs that are of importance. The man~

ner of nailing up the barrel, for instance,

has its significance. Packers have a cer-

tain way of doing this, with good and

Sufficient reasons. and if any material

departure from this way is found the

natural inference is that other important

matters in connection with the work is

not understood and adhered to, careful

grading in particular. Many barrels go

to market, too, loosely packed, and there

is so much complaint about this from

dealers.



Before the barrel is filled one end and

the side hoops are nailed. That end is

to be the “face” end of the barrel and

that head is later to be removed to in-

spect and display the fruit. So while It

should be made sufficiently secure to

carry the contents safely without 'the

head falling out, it should be so prepared

that the head may be taken out with as

little difficulty as possible. Not long

ago the writer saw in a Chicago com—

mission housc. a barrel of apples with the

head nailed with ordinary shingle nails

driven two or three inches apart through

the hoop and stavcs all around the bar—

rel instead of beingr secured with head

liners as is usually done. It was the

work of an expert to take out that head

without destroying the hoop. \thn the

barrel was finally opened there was a

printed slip found on the face with the

name. and address of the packer. saying.

“Guaranteed lland Ticked.’y The fruit

Was evidently put up by an inexperienced

grower who thought he was making a

fine package. but it was evident that the

man had little appreciation of what real.

ly fine fruit is, for in the face were

scablty and wormy apples with but few

specimens. that should have been put in

a. barrcl of nice fruit.



'llsually the coopers place a mark on

the head that should be taken out, but

sometimes they are hecdless in this re-

spect, and it is easier to press in a head

that. is strong and with few pieces, so if

the marked head is not the best it is

well to t‘ake out the other. First turn

the head that is to be used as the face

end up and nail it in by placing two head

liners. one on either side, across the end

of the grain in the head. Four nails are

plenty to hold a head lincr in place.

(me nail on either side driven through

the hoop into the side of the. head will

make this end of the barrel sufficiently

strong. hastened in this way the head

liners can be easily taken off and the

head loosened. The side hoops should be

driven tight and a nail driven on either

side to hold them in place. The hoops

at the other end are. now to be raised

and the head removed. when the hoops

are. to be again driven down and the

ioints of the nails on the inside broken

th21‘. This last should on no account be

neglected. as the nails will, if left stick—

i123.r out, break the skin of some of the

fruit and start it to rotting. The barrel

is now ready for filling.



l-Zvcn the manner of driving the nails

is a ma‘ter of some moment. A rather

heavy hatchet is most convenient for this

work as the tool must also be used for

driving the. hoops, and a light tool is

poorly adapted to this. and the flat side

of a hatchet will drive the hoops with—

out bruising or injuring them as the

smaller head of a hammer would do. In

driving the nails it is well to start them

with one stroke and drive them home

with the next. \It seems difficult for

some men to form this habit, but they

must tap, tap, tap the nail four or five

times in driving it. Now, this may ap-

pear to be a very small matter, but we

put 24 nails in each barrel, and if a man

is to hit each nail four or five extra taps

it takes just abOut 100 unnecessary blows

for every barrel. Where a man is nail-

ing barrels right along it takes consider-

able extra time to strike each barrel 100

times unnecessarily, and wages are high

during apple harvest.



In selecting the “facers” several points

should be observed: First, practically

perfect specimens are to be taken; they

should be of average size—not the larg-





est——and, of course, nobody would pick

the smallest. Then they should be well

colored. They should be uniform in size,





large and small apples together do not

present the attlractive appearance that

those do of an even size. In placing the

facers in barrel it is, of course, under-

stood that the stem end goes next to the

head, and a row is placed around the

outside, another inside of this and so on

until the face is complete. In bringing

a row together careful packers are par-

ticular when the row does not come out

even, not to put in a large or small ap—

ple, but remove three or four and put in

as many more that are the. right size,

just a little larger or smaller as may be

required, and so keep the size even. Nor

do those packers place an apple on its

side in this tier. In putting up nice

fruit another tier may be placed on this

first one with the side down showing a

good color.



In filling up Uhe barrel as each deposit

is made the barrel should be well shak—

en. Hcre is the secret, if there is any,

about tight packing. 1f the fruit is not

well shaken together no amount of

pressing will keep it tight.



In finishing the barrel ready for the

for the head the apples should be evened

off so that the head shall rest on every

apple as far as possible. A little prac—

tice enables one to do this without much

trouble, and much is depending on it in

different ways. In the first place the

fruit should not be filled too high above

the chime of the barrel—an inch is

enough. Then an even pressure is ob—

tained and some of the apples are not

smashed while others are hardly touch—

ed. .\gain, this end of the barrel is fre-

quently opened for inspection rather than

the. other, as it is expected that the face

end will contain “the proper grade of

trait. and if there is any fault in grad-

Iug it is more likely to appear at the op-

posite end of the barrel. If care appears

In the finishing othhis end the presump—

tion is that the work of filling and grad-

ing has been properly and carefully done.



The head is now placed on the apples

and with a screw press forced well down

before the hoops are raised. If the hoops

are raised first. the staves are forc—

wl out by the pressure and fre-

ouenily t‘he hoops are broken in drawing

them back. The top hoops are next

loosened but not removed from the

slaves. The head should not be forced

clear into the chime with the screw, but

the edge should be driven into place as

much as possible, “turning the. screw

down only as much as is necessary and

driving the head and then the hoops

until the head is safely in place. The

reason for this is that there is only a

certain amount of elasticity in the apples

and when they are bruised they do not

spring back. If the head is forced clear

to its place with the screw the middle of

it is carried lower than the rim and the

apples are bruised to that extent. while

if the rim is drawn down with the

hatchct the middle of the head is left

slightly crowning and the apples will re-

main tight. Apples shrink after being

barrelcd a. while, and if the elasticity is

all taken out of them with the press

they soon become looxcned and then as

the barrels are rolled 'about they bruise

each other and increase the loosene-ss

and give the fruit an unattractive ap-

pearance when opened. This end of the

barrel is then head lined the same as

the other and the barrel turned down on

its side. The pressure on the lower lay—

ers is not so great when the barrel is on

its side as when on end.



Nothing has been said about grading.

This is a matter of which, I am con-

vinced, a man can only escape suspicion

through organizaiton or complying with

the provisions of the. Sulzer law. If a

man has a special market, or if he has

large orchards and markets through a

certain channel he may work up a repu-

tation for his fruit, but Where it goes

through the general market or through

commission houses'his products must

suffer from the general reputation that

barrelcd apples has gained from the un-

certain methods of the inexperienced, the

careless and the men who employ the

'stove pipe. The Sulzer law recently

enacted by congress will, we trust, prove

a boon to those who put up straight fruit.

It provides a special mark which may

be put on fruit which conforms to its

provisions, and it becomes hazardous for

men to use that mark on dishonestly

packed apples. Three grades are provid-

ed for, differing only in size, but all

must be perfect fruit of good color for

the variety. When men come to under—

stand that the quality of poor fruit can-

not be improved by mixing it with good

fruit, but rather the value of the good is

impaired thereby they will be more par-

ticular about keeping the two separate.

The Sulzer law does not go into effect

until next July, but some are preparing

to grade and mark this season according

to its specifications.

written: (1) Practical Talks by a country

woman of experience on problems of the

hired man and hired girl, training of chil-

dren, pin-money, etc. (The Country Gentle-

woman); (2) Foods and Cooking, country

What crop to grow? When to sell it?

These questions determine profits on most

farms. Tm: COUNTRY GENTLEMAN employs

a national expert on crop reports to write a

weekly department on The Crops and the

Markets, giving the changes in prices and

the market demands. Also there are special

articles telling how to put each crop on the

market in prime condition so as to get the

maximum price. No farmer who reads this

department regularly, and supplements it

with a. local newspaper, can be ignorant of

when and how to market his crop to get

the greatest returns.





The Presidential campaign, the State

direct personal importance to farmers. You

want a way to follow easily and accurately

what the politicians are doing. That is

it successfully, always with an eye for the

agricultural interests. By it you can check

Here Are Five Important Special Series That Will Appear During These Four Months





A Master Farmer and His Fifty Farms





In the Genesee Valley, New York, one man owns some

fifty farms—over 10,000 acres in all. They are rented—

many of them have been for a century. The rental is $2

to $4 an acre, according to the crop. Much of this land

fifteen years ago returned only seventy-five cents an acre—

some of it, nothing at all. Now it is all on a paying basis.

How this master farmer manages this enormous estate, and

aids fifty tenants in making a profit, is told in one article

of our series on successful farmers. It’s the story, not of a

fad, but of a money-maker. SO with all this series. The

articles deal with big and little farms in various parts of

the country.





Good Marketing By Advertising





Six years ago a farm hand in a Western State rented some land and grew a crop of fine

seed grain. Last year he sold over $15,000 worth of pure-breed seed grains, and is known

as one of the seed experts of the world. Judicious advertising did it.



A student in a leading agricultural college heard a lecture on advertising. He went home





Wiped Out By Fire





In New York State alone there were 5800 farm fires last

year. They causedaloss of$1,500,000. Most of them could

have been prevented. Lightning caused MOO—many of

these were preventable. We shall print a series of articles

on fire prevention and protection, covoring (1) What farm

fire losses represent and how they threaten the average

farmer; (2) How to guard against fire; (.5) How to put it

out if it starts—up—to-date home lire-fighting apparatus;

(4) The best kinds of insurance on buildings, crops and

livestock impartially compared; (5) Actual facts about

farmers’ mutual insurance companies that have worked.

FACTS ABOUT JELLY MAKING.





By Maria Chipman Topping.





In your Farmer of recent date there

occurred an article on. the chemistry of

jelly making. Not having any particular

knowledge of chemistry, I have some do—

cided knowledge of how to make jelly,

and I take exceptions to a. great many

things in the aforesaid article. The title

is not at all misleading, for, although the

action of the chemists may not have

been a dabble, the article certainly is.



The article starts with the sentence,

“One would not expect men to know

'much about jelly making," and ,the)

sentence is not at all misleading after

perusing the rest of the article. Men

can eat jelly out of sight, literally, but if

they had it made after their own sug-

gestions i am afraid it would go to the

pigs.



Perhaps the attitude of the article is

better explained in the sentence opening

the second paragraph: “Of all domestic

processes. cooking is known to be the

most stubborn about conforming to scien-

tific principles.” If the writer actually

made jetlly by the so-called scientific

recipe therein attached, 1 am afraid the

meaning of that sentence would be hor—

ribly confirmed in his mind.



It is a mighty careless jelly makcr who

lets the fruit juice pass the jelly point,

and it has been my experience that af-

ter it does so it becomes leather instead

of syrup. 1" fruit juice becomes syrup,

it never would reach the jelly poinnt if it

were cooked it week.



The first point of direction, as given in

the article would spoil any jelly that the

most thorough housekeeper would ever

attempt: “Cover it with water.” Per—

haps it has been the writer’s experience

that fruit covered with water can cook

long enough to cook the water out of it,

a process which must be accomplished

before there is any danger of the con-

coction reaching the jelly point, yet, if

he had ever eaten real jelly he would

not recognize the strong burnt sugar con-

coction rcsultingfrom such a conglomera—

tiOn as jelly.



The iirst requisite of good jelly is: do

not cover with water. Do not drown in

watt-r, and do not use any water at all

if there is juice enough to keep the fruit

from burning without it. Jelly is fruit

juice and sugar, equal parts, and what

water is added must inevitably be sub-

tracted before you have any jelly.



Grapes, small berries, anything that is

real juicy can be pressed down in the

kcttle to produce juice in sufficient quan-

tities to keep the fruit from burning.

This is the only object of the water.

After your fruit is in the kettle run a.

silver knife down the side of the kettle.

You can see there what accumulation of

juice you have. If it is enough to raise

the fruit front the bottom of the kettle,

as you value your success as a jelly

maker, do not pour in any water. If the

juice does not come up to your expecta-

tion. turn in just enough to cover the

bottom of the. kettle, about half (in inch,

and prepare to boil the juice long enough

after it has been extracted, to steam out

this water, and the longer it takes, the

worse your jctlly will taste. it you want

jelly that will taste of the fruit leave the

Water out. If you want boiled down cid—

er, pour it in to cover your fruit.



Boil the fruit slowly. If it is apple

jelly you are making, you will have to

use water, but not enough to cover. Pour

in water until it stands as deep in the

kettle as the juice of soft fruits should,

perhaps a half or three-quarters of an

inch decp. (Took slowly, on the back of

the stove, letting the fruit rather melt

than boil. Boiling doesn‘t do a bit of

good, and generally does harm. The

fruit must be softened with the heat just

enough to let out its juices. The more

water you have in your fruit, the longer

it must cook before straining. Cooking

before the sugar is added does not hurt,

if the fruit pulp does not burn. Look

out for that. especially after it has been

cooked long. Sometimes you can cook

all the water out of the juice before

straining.



Another thing, make your jelly, as far

as possible, on a bright day, for the ob-





vious reason that water evaporates fast—

er on such days, and the jelly will be

lighter color, and taste better.



It does not matter how you strain the

juice. Sometimes I use a bag and some—

times 1 use a sieve, but 1 always squeeze

the pulp after it becomes cold enough.

What pulp, if any, comes through will

rise in the scum of the jelly when it is

cooking. You can let your bag drip over

night, or you can pour it in a fine sieve

and make your jelly While you are get—

ting a meal. It's all pulp and juice, and

it never knows how it: got there.



Measure your juice in a cup or a bowl

and put in exactly as many cups of

sugar, if you want jelly. If you want

boiled cider, vary it according to actd

of the fruit. Last summer 1 made jelly

with strawberries this way, and the jelly

was hard and firm. You know the cook

books say you cannot‘ make strawberry

jelly without gelatin. if you want to

explode this theory, come to my house

and see my strawberry jelly. 1 made

also three or four cups of huekleberry

jelly the same way, and there is nothing

sweeter than huckleberries. I used the

green ones along with the ripe, and that

is the way to make good jelly of any

description. If your fruit is too ripe.

your juice will boil to syrup, and never

reach the jelly point.



(:ood jelly of a juicy fruit on a bright

day, if the water is left out, will jell

almost before you have the time to skim

it. A cloudy, moist day will give you

more time, but your jelly will be darker.



How to tell when it has boiled enough

is it great art, but easily learned. Take

out a small spoonful of the juice. Let it

cool for a few minutes, 01‘ blow it cool.

then apply a dry finger tip to the sur-

face. If it has reached the jelly point

it will adhere to the finger in a firm

paste—like. mass. and when you pull up

your finger there will be a String of

bright jelly adhering to it. If it does

not do this, no matter what time you put

it over, or how hard it has boiled, let it

alone. This is the only absolutely COl'l‘CCt

way to test jelly. You cannot tell about

the time of boiling any more than you

can tell how long Jonah was in'the

whale. I litth had jelly coagulate before

it had come to a boil at all. That is the

word to describe its appearance, when it

is ready to pour out, coagulation. Then,

I have cooked juice a half a day and had

to go out anti pick a cup full of green

fruit, strain it, and add it to the juice,

when it would jell up in 15 minutes.



Bcfore you are ready to pour it into

the glasses, get a clean flannel cloth and

make a bag, pouring the juice through

this bag. \Vhateve-r pulp or scum re—

mains in the juice will come out and your

jolly will be clear as a ruby. As to boil—

ing the pulp over again, I never tried

that. but i have made marmalade of the

pulp of fruit after the juice was extract—

ed, and it was generally pretty poor

truck.



(In justice to the writer of the pre-

vious article, “Chemists Dabble in Jelly-

Making," it must be said that’ Mrs.

Mclla Russell McCallum is an unusually

bright and ei’licient housekeeper. She

spent the entire summer of 15111 in trying

out the chemist’s suggestions and wrote

exactly what she had done and her re-

..uli‘s at the request of the editor of this

department.—lid.)





THE SCIENCE OF RIGHT LIVING.

which he hopes to introduce into the

course of study of every School in the

country. .

The book has not been named yet, but

it has to do with the science of right

living. Right eating. right drinking,

dealing with onet’s neighbors, in fact, the

right way to do everything which enters

this new book. As it covers the observa—

tions of a half century of one of Mich-'

igan’s foremost physicians and special-

ists, a 'man With a nation-wide reputa—

tion based on other books. this new vol-

true is being awaited with interest by

the few educators who have seen a few

of the chapters.



And when you think of it, could any—

thing be more important than a book

which really tells us how to live right?

To be sure, there are thousands of tomes

filled with good advice. but how few

there are which are really practical.

Most are simply theories which don’t

work out at all in pactice, and the major

part are only treatises on morals. How

many of us there are who go through

life just trying to learn how to live. and

only get the secret at last when we are

ready to pass on. or have wrecked our

health, and consequent happiness, by

wrong conduct in early years?



i II #



Just the matter of eating alone. How

few of us know how to eat right. . How

few of us realize that good temper and

self control may be secured by temper-

ance in eating. Half the unkind words

uttered, it is safe to say, might be- trac—

ed back to a bit of undigested food

which generates a poison in the system.

which in turn upsets the nerves and

leads to an explosion of temper. If we

c0ultl know from childhood the immense

advantage of eating simple, plain foods,

of eating just enough and of outing reg-

ularly, of eating slowly and tit-.n'oughly

masticating our food, what a differenre

it would make in the health and temper

of the nation.



And from knowing how to eat right

ourselves it is but a step to- knowinghow

to feed our children right. The absolute

ignorance of the young mother who for

the first time is faced with the .problem

of feeding a baby is appalling. And

that 'She is hopelessly ignorant of this

most important subject is borne out by

the appalling number of infants who die

from malnutrition.



Right sleeping. Balance the number

who sleep eight hours in a room with

the windows wide open or out on a sleep-

ing-pm'ch, against those who toss rest-

lessly. in rooms with one window open

two inches. or worse still, practically

hermetically sealed. Could we learn how

to sleep right and eat right the. great

White plague would be all but vanquished.

and the need "for anti—tuberculosis socie-

ties done away with.



3 II t



The farmer’s wife and daughter need

little- advice as to right exercise. \\'ith

the multitudinous duties of the house

and the garden calling them into the

outdoors they get all the exercise they

need in the summer. But: even they

need to be reminded to get out in win-

ter, when garden and small chicks no

longer call them. No matter what the

weather, every person should breathe

out door air summer and winter for,

a while each day, and the women and

children Who are physically able to stand

the exertion should take a brisk walk.



Master these three Rights and the rest

will take. care of themselves, our doctor

believes. For right eating, sleeping and

exercising mean health, and health, he

believes, means good temper, and good

temper means good character and good

character means a clean moral life. In

other words, if our physical being is right

it must follow as the night the day that

our mental and moral being will be right.

Such is the belief of this doctor, a be-

lief that not only doctors but thinking

people everywhere are beginning to adopt

And when you look over the list of your

acquaintances aren‘t the men and the

women who are pefectly healthy also

perfectly happy and Perfectly fair and

square in their dealings with you? As a.

rule. you will find this is so, that the

man who is hale and hearty is also just,

Oct'asionally you find one with a moral

twist who, while in normal health, shows

sub-normal moral tendencies. But as a

general thing it is the pindling, under~

sized, anaemic person who is querulous,

suspicious and hard to get along with.



I hope that book will come out soon

and that the schools will adopt it. Think

of teaching our girls how to cook and to

eat and to feed their families, as well as

how to do cube root! I know the'girls

would welcome the change, for there is

not a girl who could honestly rise up and

say she enjoyed raising X+Y to the

third pOWer and then doing it back-

wards.



To live right. The one thing in life we

need to know, and the one thing we sel-

dom learn until we are through with





- living.

A misty light and a. scudding cloud,

And the slow rain dropping down;

V‘Vhile somber trees reach out their hands

o‘er the pathway drear and brown.





A passing cloud and the sun Shines thro’,

And the rain retreats in pain;



The somber trees grow golden now,

And the pathway a fairy lane—





A lane that leads to enchanted ground,

Where the scarlet leaves and gold

A MORNING CALL.





 





 





 





BY JOHN A. SIMPSON.

Regarding the profound and fateful

etiquette of ceretmonious calls, I must

announce, like the New England minis-

ter during the famous (clipse, that I am

as much in 'the dark as anybody. lils-

pccially is the philosophy of the moining

call ahead of me. it may be. all right for

people who like that sort’ of thing to

get up at midnight and make morning

calls from one to live. but if I were go-

ing to call from one to five in 'the fore—

noon l shotild try to get there the day

before.



About three weeks ago I determined to

become. fashionable and make a morn—

ing call myseli". 1 concluded to call on

a. young lady of my acquaintance who

lives on a farm about three milcs out

of town. On account of its being a ccrc-

llltllllollts‘it‘illl I didn’t send word of my

coining. Living in a rural district she

is not especially stylish herself, and na-

turally wouldn't be looking for callers.

It‘ scented to me that this would be a

tine opportunity to give an exhibition of

the ways of society.



So i got up some time after midnight

and dressed in haste and some- clothes,

and, wrapped in solititudc and goose

tlcsli, sallicd forth. 1 must say that

morning calls lose their glamour when

viewed by the flickering illumination of

the pole siar. A morning call just before,

breakfast may be all right, but to hit

the boundaiy line of the township be.—

fol'c two in the forcnoon, with nothing

for company but a wish that you hadn't

and thc regular foothills of the, bogey-

ioan, is no picnic.



(Hi reaching the young lady's home I

made my way to the front porch, and

sat on the steps while collecting my wits

and trying;r to remember all I had ever

read of morning calls, in an endeavor to

determine what to do next. I was be—

ginning to have doubts—I mean more of

them as to whether the young woman

would really be glad to see me.



Suddenly the deep and tranquil night

was tilted to overflowing with the re—

sounding voice of the watch dog. I made

a wild rush for safety and the paling

i'cnce. As the bulldog was bringing tip

the rear with all the energy of his race,

] wasn‘t long in making my way to the

roof of the nenhouse, which, fortunately,

backed tip against the garden fence. I‘p-

on the sloping roof the bulldog followed

with a bound that, to my startled nerves,

appcarcd to shake the universe. l leaped

and fell over the end of the building.

Scrambling to my feet in front of "he

halt—open door, I rushed into the hen-

house and pulled the door close after me.





 





It may have been rude in me to thrust

my unbidden presence into the midst of

those timid and unprotected hens, most

of whom I had never met, but if I had

waited to introduce mysclf, and to in—

quire whether they took lodgers, my re—

mains would have been strewed over the

premises.



Coming into the henhouse hastily and

without stopping to how, I accidentally

knocked down some roosts and about

twenty—five of the inhabitants who were

suffering from nervous prostration and

feeble mindedncss. The way those ir-

responsible fowls squatted was discon—

certing. The bulldog, and every cur

within three miles, joined in, and Icould

hear about fifty worthless brutes yelp-

ing their way to the scene at the excite-

merit.



By this time every member of the

family was up. You might say, from the

way they yelled, that they were making





THE MICHIGAN FARMER, ‘





morning calls. The young lady herself

was ringing the dinner bell and howling

“murder” with every jerk; her little

brother was- rushing for the neighbors

and screeching like a. steam calliope; her

mother was screaming “fire!” and ring-

ing the telephone; her father was shout-

ing for someone: to bring him the rifle,

and the hired hand was shooting off his

mouth and the shotgun in an effort to

frighten the robbers into a state of

wholesome fear. There most certainly

were doings in that neighborhood along

about three-t'hirty in the forenoon.



\Vhen the neighbors arrived the women

folks stood on the back porch and

screamed for the men not to shoot 'each

other. The lattter formed into a sort of

half circle. I judged, for I couldn't see

through the door, and inside it was as

dark as the cave of Monte Cristo, and

bore down gradually upon the enemy,

while an advance guard of rattle—brained

pups tried to tear the defenses into kind-

ling wood.



As I didn’t dare open the door, and

the army of assault was afraid to, there

was a truce for about an hour and a

half. I couldn’t make them hear, for

whenever I yelled the dogs howled and

the hens kept up a tremendous cackle.



Finally, becoming convinced that I was

proposing terms of capitulation, the at—

tacking forces beat off the dogs and.

aiming their guns against a possible sur—

prise, awaited overtures for peace.



At last, when the first faint streaks of

ccming day was reddening the. glad cast,

1 cautiously opened the door, stepped out

into the dim light and, blinking like a

barn owl, surrendered.



I draw a veil over the final scene. It

concerns only myself and one, dearer

than all else. I made up as plausible a

story as I could about trying to play *1

little joke on the hircd man, who slcpt

in a room on the ground floor. And it

is all right now. I am making my morn-

ing calls the day previous.





PARTNERS.





 





BY EDS/iii, WHITE.



“My first case?" said an old gentleman

with iron gray hair and a military mus-

tache and imperial,’a man whom all the

people about, the court room revcrently

addressed as “Major,” and who smiled

thoughtfully when one of the lawyers

asked the question. “I remember it welt

I expect most, all old attorneys remember

their first case better than any which

have followcd. In my experience, how—

ever, it. was not the case so much as a

little thing that occurred a year after-

wai'd-—~a matter growing out of the case

-—~that makes it a little—ah~uniquc, I

guess you'd call it.”



Maior Hawkins took the cigar the

Judge handed hint, delicately struck a

match on the sole of his shoe, and said:



“A medicine show outfit had been lev-

icd on by toe constable at Lancaster, the

charge being conducting a business for

money without paying the ices demand—

ed under the ordinance. The show had

been in town all week, and it attracted

huge crowds. There was no place to go

during the, long summer evenings, and

the frce performance on the square was

a heaven-sent blessing. The entire pop—

ulation of the town turned out every

night, and there were some, liberal spend—

ers for the cure—all medicine, as there

always are. Doctor Tuscarora——I don‘t

recall his name exactlyrwas a tall,

swarthy gentleman. who wore his hair

long and a piratical mustache. lie was

the star of the outfit, one of the smooth-

est and most persuasive talkers I ever

heard. It was fully as much of an en;

tcrtainment to hear him explain his med—

icing.as it was to listen to the. jokes and

songs of his minstrcl crew.



“ lefoi‘e Saturday night» the Doctor had

succeeded in convincing the unanimous

population of the town that they had

some sort of ailment which nothing short

of his medicine would cure, and had their

money in his pocket.



“Understanding the popularity of the

show, and the pleasure it was giving the

people, the officer wisely refrained from

making the arrest until the cenclusion of

the last Saturday night’s performance. I

don’t recall just how much the town‘s

bill against the Doctor was, but it Wasn't

very large. He could have easily paid it

out of his haul, and have had half a bar-

rel of money left. But, no, girl It was

a matter of principle, he told me, when

he sought my legal services, and he de-

clared he would spend a thousand dollars

to test the matter; not that he cared for

the few paltry dollars involved, but he

didn't want a precedent established dan-

gerous to his interests. His mission was

to cure people. to yank them‘out Of the

grave, and to restore them to their fam-

ilies, sound 111 My and mind, and if the

town, county or state would dare to put

a valuation on such services to humanity

it would be nothing less than demanding

blood money, sir! ~Any community that

put the almighty dollar above the lives

of its inhabitants would go down, even

as Sodom and Gomorrah, by gadl



“He elocuted in my little office pretty

much as he did to the crowds on the

street, and I imbibed a considerable

amount of his righteous

When I found quite a lot of the towns-

people were on the medicine man’s side

it made me all the more confident. The

Doctor gave me a list of some 20 per-

sons who he said would testify that they

had ‘one foot in the grave’ when he came

along with his matchless medicine and

cured ’cm. That looked good to me, but

I was young, you remember. ,



"I had all these witnesses summoned

to appear in my office, and spent two

days in having their statements taken

down. The stenographer's bill was $30,

I think—possibly 835. But I regarded

those statements as necessary, for fear

the judge might nule out the evidence,

and then I intended to make my tender

of proof, backed by the absolute state—





' merits of the witnesses who had escaped

. death.





My clienn heartily approved the

course. He said if the decision went

against him in the court below he’d carry

it through every court until he landed in

the Supreme Court of the United States!

He was that much in earnest



“Every midnight found me at my books

until the (lay of the trial. when the forces

were lined up in battle array. I had

discovered half a dozen big holes in the

town ordinance, and brought an armload

of yellow—backed books in order to walk

through ’cm. The city attorney, who

was young like myself, had an older at-

torney to help him. My client offered to

hire any lawyer I 'might name to help

me, no matter what he cost—money was

no object. But as this was to be my

debut as a lawyer I decided to play a

lone hand. I wanted to inspire confidence

in the place, so I might reap a practice.



“\Vell, we rolled up our sleeves and

went at it good and hard. VVhein I put

the Doctor on the stand, he insisted on

making a stump speech in answer to ev-

ery question I asked. I never saw a

man with such a burning desire to talk

on any and all occasions. He was like

a phonograph set to run eight days. His

answa‘s invariably embraced an attempt

to impress the jury with the wonderful

curative powers of his medicine. “'hen

the city attorney began to cross-exam-

ine him it was just like a prize fight.

The Doctor bristled like an angry bear,

and as he could outroar the attorney he

had the best of the legal debate. ‘





“The 20-odd witnesses snatched from

the grave were rejected by the court as

having no bearing 0n the issue The

Doctor promptly' rose to shout‘ an indig-

nant protest to the court. but I pulled

him down in time to save him from a

fine for contempt.



“After the evidence was all in I put in

my demurrer. and we scrapped over it

till far into the night. At the end the

court sustained me, and the defendant

was discharged, with the costs taxed

against the city.



“The big medicine man was effusive in

his gratitude; tried to hug me, and called

me ‘brother.’



“ ‘I’ll never forget you, my brother,’ he

said. ‘You are the, best lawyer this or

any other state has ever produced. This

will be the making of you; your name

will be written high upon the roll of

fame. You have established a. world-

wide precedent, and you will have clients

from everywhere. Come around to my

hotel in the morning. I will have some-

thing for you, sir.’



“That night I slept with air castles and

enchanted gardens hovering over my

cheap pine bed. I felt that I had done

good work; that I had earned my fee.

Besides, the trial had been observed by

large crowds of people, and I noticed the

reporters were present: Yes. it was good

to be a lawyer; I had struck the right

vocation and had made good.



“In the morning 1 called at the- hotel

as directed. Jim Murphy, the clerk, was

0n duty.



“ ‘Dr. Tuscarora in, Jim?’ I asked care-

lessly. '



“Jim smiled as he reached for some-

thing under the counter.



“ ‘He pulled up stakes at midnight.

but he left something for you,’ he said.



“With this he handed me a package

and an envelope. The package contained

half a dozen bottles of Dr. Tuscarora’s

sure cure for rheumatism, etc., and in





 





indignation. -_ _

the price.



This is the third season we’ve

advertised the Clothcraft Blue

three times as many 4130’s as

we had ever before sold in any

there were not enough for all the

By telling these facts in our ad-

the greater output.



Before you decide on your fall

suit, investigate 4130. Compare

it with any blue serge suit you

ever saw sold regularly at $25.

Give it rigid scrutiny, inside and

out-fashion, fit, finish and

fabric.



But investigate early. Get

your suit before there’s a pos-

occurred last fall with a treblcd

production.

the paper





in this illustration (taken

from an actual test) the

back button holes of a

pair at Shirley President

Suspenders were pinned

to a daily paper.





First one shoulder strap was raised Then

the other (that’s thc way your shoulders rise and

full). The. slidingr cords moved so freely that

the. shift did not tear the. paper.





This shows that if you wear Shirley President

Suspenders, your shoulders are under no pressure

nor restraint. Your movements are as free as

if you had no suspenders on.





The sliding back makes Shirley Presidents

the most practical and comfortable suspender

for the farmer because the variety of work

that he does about the farm keeps his body

constantly on the move. It also makes them

wear longer, for the strain caused by stooping

or lifting does not all come on one part. The

restraint of the ordinary suspender hinders the

farmer at his work.

‘ What a Change at Washington Would





Mean To The American Farmer





O begin with, the farmer isn’t a

weather-vane.





He finds out what is wise and good

-—and he sticks to it.





That’s what makes him a successful farmer

-—beeause he decides upon a plan of farm-

ing that is definite, profitable and right.





And he adopts it permanently.





He’s not to be turned aside by passing

fancies or unproved theories.





He wisely looks at the bread-and-butter

side of things.





And if the bread is sweet, the butter is

rich and thick—he is not pining for a

“change.”





Practically in every part of the country,





farmers are now rejoicing over bumper





crops.



Nature has been mighty good to them this

year.



Their granaries are fat—their bins dis-

tended.



But that alone isn’t their chief cause for

rejoicing.



* :1: >1:





Big crops—enormous yields—are simply ,





assets waiting to be cashed.





And it’s the cashing that interests the

farmer.





That’s where he is doubly blessed this

year. For the values of farm products

are up and soaring.





Think of the astounding farm wealth pro-

duction—nearly nine billion dollars for 1912!





-—Conservatively estimated by the U.

S. Agricultural Department.





Then, remember back to 1900 when the

total figures were something over four

billion.





And note, please, that this percentage of

increase is vastly in excess of the increased

acreage brought under cultivation during

that period.





' Is it any wonder that the farmer is sitting

tight and contented?





. And is it likely that he will consider

risking his present bountiful Prosperity—-

turning his back upon Plenty——





And taking a step in the dark!

:1: a: *





Land values have doubled within the last

ten years.





Intelligent Government assistance—repre-

senting an enormous investment on Uncle

Sam’s part—has led to better use of the

soil. .



But, most of all the farmer has made





; more money on his crops, because of a.

‘ thriving home market—right at his door.





You know that commercial and agfi-

cultural prosperity link close together.





When the smoke is coming from every

factory chimney, when every Wheel is turn-

ing, when labor troubles are reduced to a

minimum, 'when contented workmen - in

mills from Maine to the Pacific Coast are

bringing home well-filled pay envelopes





every Saturday night—"





. '-—-The farmer is going to get his big





Q liberal share. .





We have people enough, with appetites

enough, and money enough, to consume

practically every bushel of gram, or vege-

table product, and every pound of beef,

pork or mutton the farmer produces.





And the demand is at hand. It’s a short

haul.





Every mile consumed in shipping farm

products from one country to another

means that much delay and that much

money loss to the producer.





***





But the export problem sends no cloud

across the farmer’s sunshiny horizon these

days.



Figures are dull, but there is a mighty

keen edge to these that show the actual

exports of the three leading grain crops,

according to the latest available figures.

They are official.





In the last year, out of the total pro-

duction of corn in America, a little over

2 per cent was shipped abroad; of oats less

than 1 per cent; of wheat 4 per cent.





Just remember that when someone quotes

to you the bit of Democratic doctrine,

taken from the party’s 1912 platform,

which reads:





“The farmer sells largely in the free

market”——meaning the foreign markets

of the world.



* a: :1:



Now let’s get back to the cause of this



Prosperity. '





A mighty large percent of it is due to the

wise and consistent Tariff policies of Presi—





dent Taft.





The Republican Party has stood first,

last and all the time, for the home market.





Mr. Taft’s broad-gauge policies mean the

protection and development of the National

Home Market.





His sane, judicial methods have inspired

industrial confidence. '





It was known, that whatever Taft did

would be calm, dispassionate, reasonable——

fOr the best good of the entire population—

that it would build up rather than overthrow.





***





Men at the head of things—while they

realize that Taft is an enemy to hlonopoly—

that he has 45 indictments against trusts to

his credit in three years of administration,

compared with 25 indictments during the

first and second terms of his predecessor—





—Still recognize in him and his policies

the real safety and continued Prosperity of

the country.



That is, to a great extent, why all the

mills, factories, are running full time, why

wages are high——



-——Why the farmer’s home market today

awaits his most bountiful crops.



:1: * :1:





Mr. Taft is an exponent of simple Ameri-

canism.





Not a sensationalist of stage-acting

methods.





Not an impractical dreamer with his

head in the clouds. .





Taft did a heretofore unheard-of thing

when he appointed a non-partisan tariff

board. ‘





——When he fought for three years for

the permanent establishment of this Com-

mission.





——When he absolutely refused to “play

politics,” but chose the competent men to

make this extensive investigation, and set

them at work, at home and abroad to find

out what conditions were—to glean the

absolute facts on which an equitable tariff

revision could be founded.





One that would be just, alike to the

producer, the manufacturer and the con-

sumer.





And remember that this represents the

first and only move to regulate the tariff

on a truly scientific basis.





Taft has this record of performance. Other

candidates have none.





His actions are more eloquent than the

words of his opponents.





***





He stood firmly against the Democratic

wool bill because it was notoriously defec-

tive in vital essentials, and its passage was

utterly inexcusable.





The Tariff Board’s report was in and the

long-looked for downward revision of that

Schedule based upon facts instead of theories,

Was offered by the Republicans and voted

down by Democrats who had made no

effort to ascertain what damage they were

inflicting upon American farmers, wool-

combers and manufacturers.





Under the ad valorem method of levying

the duties provided by the Democrats, im—

porters would have defrauded the Govern-

ment, and American sheep owners would

have failed to receive the protection osten-

sibly extended.



The Republican bill eliminated al excess

protection, reformed the entire Schedule on

the scientific basis of levying a specific duty

upon the scoured pound of wool and would

have corrected the admitted evils of the

Schedule without “killing the patient.”





The President therefore awaits patiently

the judgment of the American people as to

his action.



as a: *





Another case was the Free Sugar Bill.





If h~Ir.Taft had supported this bill it would

have spelled certain trouble for the thou-

sands of farmers raising Sugar Beets in

Michigan, Colorado, Nebraska and other

States, and to raisers of Sugar Cane in

the South.





President Taft opposed it—and these im-

portant home industries were protected and

preserved.



* :1: a:





That is the real Taft.



An optimist—a worker—a just judge.



A man who plays the game fair—who

puts rlght above politics, and the people’s

prosperity above personal glory





Under his administration times have

grown better and better.





The outlook is for still brighter things.





We don’t believe that there’s a single

thinking farmer reader of this paper, who—‘

when he gives real consideration to the men

and to the issues—will vote to bring about l!

a “change.”

DETROIT WHOLESALE MARKETS.





October 2, 1912.

Grains and Seeds.





Wheat.~»Fluctuations characterized the

wheat market Chet past. week. Up until

Saturday declines followed each other

due to increased receipts in the north-

west, resumption of threshing after long

continued rain spells and the lower val-

ues ruling at Liverpool. Beginning Mon-

day a bullish tone tiook hold of the trade

which was largely due to rumors of war

in the Balkan regions where Europe ex-

pects much of her wheat supply from.

l’rices advanced nearly a cent Monday

and more than that amount on Tuesday.

The visible supply shows an increase of

about one and a half million bushels. The

price for No. 2 red wheat a year ago

was 93%40 per bu. Quotations are as- fol-

lows:

Corn.—-YVith report‘s indicating the ma-

turity of a large percentage of the corn

crop, prices for the past week have

gradually gone to a IOWer basis, the de—

cline up until Tuesday amounting to ov-

er 71c. Some of the leading corn states

will harvest; the largesti crop overgrown.

The visible supply shows an increase of

three-quarters of a. million bushels. A

Oats—Substantial decline-s were made

in the oat deal, losing practically all of

the gain made the previous week. There

is fairly active trading in this grain

with a. gencral belief that. prices will not

go far from the present basis for some

time. The visible supply increased less

the price was 491120 for Standard oats.

A Monday run of around 18,000 cattle,

including about 4,000 from western

ranges, would mean ordinarily a sharp

advance, but these are no ordinary times.

Bcsidcs. there were heavy receipts at

markets further west, Kansas City re-

poriing 20.000 head received there. and

this helped to hold prices down. Fab

bccves alone were active and firm, with

an $11 top, other kinds being slow at

barely steady prices. Hogs averaged 5@

10c higher, but the improvement was felt

mainly in the in-between kinds. Hog

sales wt-i'e at $8.05@8.95, with the north

shipping drove of hogs averaging around

270 lbs. costing $8.75. Mixed packing and

heavy packing showed the greatest rise»,

with the btilk going at $8.25@8.50. Hogs

received last week averaged 233 lbs.,

compared with 215 lbs. one year ago, 264

lbs. two years ago and 232.1bs. three

years ago. The sheep market was late

in opening, and at a, latle ‘hour very little

trading had been done, prices averaging

10@15c lower, though some good lambs

brought nearly steady prices.



Cattle receipts last week were increased

so much that buyers had good opportu-

nities to force values to a, lower level,

except for the very best corn-fed lots,

and declines of 25@50c occurred, all

grades of beef steers from $10.50 do'wn

being included in the break. Butcher

stuff was included in the downward

movement, as were stockers and feeders,

and country buyers were offered feeding

cattle at reductions of 25@40c. Buyers

have paid former extreme prices under

protcst. and any approach to normal cat—

tle receipts is sure 'to result in severe

reactions. Last week’s sales of beef

steers were largely at $7.40@10.15, with

the choicest cattle taken 'at $10.50@11 and

the pooner light-weight grass-fed lqts

selling at $5.75@6.75,with great numbers

of the iii-between kinds selling at $8@9.

There is no graded system like that

adopted for grain on the Board of Trade,

so that there are wide differences of

views as 1to what are “good” steers, but

no very attractive good heavy weights

are selling for less than $9.50. Prime

little yearlings have sold at. a new high

level, a. sale being made of 16 head of

Angus and Shorthorn steers that aver-

aged btit 1,006 lbs. at $10.65. Cows and

heifers brought $4.2501‘8.35. with a few

prime heifers selling up to $9, ‘thcre be—

ing a poor showing of heifers good enough

to sell above $8. Cu‘tters went at $3.45@

4.20, canners ate $2.50@3.40 and bulls at

$3.75@7.



llogs sold most of last week at well

maintained prices, the market' rallying

sharply at times, when the receipts were

smaller than usual. The poor eastern

shipping demand continued the weakest

factor in the market, the eastern packing

points receiving large supplies from their

home territory. The large consumption

of fresh pork products was as strong a

feature as ever, as was also the large

sales of car lots of lard and Cured meats

of all descriptions. Choice light butcher

hogs continued the favorite sellers. going

at the highest prices paid for anything,

and rough, heavy packing sows sold low—

est of all. The decreasing receipts of

pigs is taken as a good indication that

hOg sickness is dying out in- hog raising

districts generally, and with cheap corn

in sight, it is believed that farmers will

be encouraged to put plenty of weight on

their young hogs. Provisions, while much

higher than a year ago, are decidedly

lower than a. few weeks agO. At ‘ihe

close of the week hogs sold at $805017

8.95, compared with $7.85@8.821/2 a week

earlier, pigs bringing $6608.35.



Sheep and lambs were marketed last

week in extremely liberal volume, the

receipts embracing too generous offerings

of natives, as well as excessive receipts

from the ranges of Idaho, Montana, and

Nevada. Of course, Weakness was in—

evitable under *ihe strain of such lib-

eral supplies, yet prime range lambs sold

much better than might have been 'ex-

pected, the demand being especially good

for these. Native lambs failed to grade

as well as the range flocks and had to

go at a large discount. As for range

feeders and breeders, the demand was as

strong as ever, and prices failed to'go

Off wlt mutton grades. Lambs com-

prised e customary large percentage of.

allthe offerings, and consequently re-

ductions in prices were apt to be less

marked in sheep and yearlings, although

wethers and ewes sold extremely low as

a rule. At 'the close prices were largely

25@400 lower than a week earlier, lambs

sellmg at $4.75@7.25, yearllmgs at $4.75@
