GOOD MANAGEMENT VS. HARD
WORK.

 

In every line of business it will be
found that if not properly managed and
planned the business will not prove prof-
itable to the owner, or at least not near-
ly as profitable as it should, and in no
line of business is this more noticeable
than in farming. In fact, no business
shows the reSults of good management
quicker than farming.

'A man may be one of the hardest of
workers, a slaVe to his business as far
as muscular exertion is concerned, yet
if he has not the mental ability to do
the right thing at the right time and
place, may be unsuccessful at everything
he tries to do, and most of us are apt: to
call the failures which really result
from imprOper managing, “hard luck.”

How often we see a farmer whose crops
are never first-class, whose buildings are
never repaired and who never seems to
derive more than a living from his farm,
though perhaps a hard worker, sell his
farm to another person who, though
working in under practically the same
conditions, will by doing the right thing
at the right time, or in other words,
rightly managing his farm, become suc-
cessful from the start. His farm will
planin show the first symptoms of his
success and management, and this with
no more actual labor on his part than
was expanded by the former owner.

of course, sickness and unfavorable
weather conditions will spoil the best
laid plans and may be considered hard
luck. For instance, how many of us
have spent‘ many days of hard labor in
fitting and putting in a field, we will say
to wheat and, being perhaps a trifle
rushed, left the field for a day or more
before furrowlng and ditching out and
paid for the delay—really bad management

s—the next year by a shortage of wheat
in the low spots and furrows, perhaps
over the whole field, while from two to
five bushels extra yield would have hired
it done, if-impossible to have done it
ourselves. Such little mistakes will prove
a handicap to the best of farms, and a
cut in the farmer’s profits for the year,
according to the number made, no mat-
ter how hard he may work.

Here we have Mr. A. who milks so
many cows and who makes 'so much from
them. if a strict book account of Mr.
A.’s cows were to be kept we would find
that he was keeping his COWS at an ac-
tual loss. due to the low tests of the
cows he is keeping and of his neglect to
find this out and rectify his mistake» by
replacing with cop's that are profitable.

Mr. 8., just across the road, keeps the
same number of cows. He spends no
more time milking, separating or feeding,
and perhaps feeds no more than Mr. A.,
yet he keeps his cows at' a profit by
proper selection or proper managing, al-
though he does no more actual work than
his neighbor.

Mr. A. works hard with his corn
ground getting it in fine shape to plant,
but he plant's seed of doubtiful germinat-
ing quality and the result is a very poor
stand of corn. It takes him longer to
cultivate than Mr. B., whose corn is
good, for he has weeds where he should
have torn; also just at long to bind the
same, although he has the advantage
over Mr. B. at husking time.

Proper management of rotation, of rais-
ing the right crop upon a certain field,
which is particularly adapted for that
crop at that time, is one of the most
important of factors in successful farm-
ing. A careful_study of the market con-
ditions, presentt and tutu e, is another.

No two farms can be anaged alike,
therefore each farmer must rely upon his

own judgment. Our neighbor may raise
a certain crop to great advantage just
over the fence, which thrives because
preceding crops and treatment have pre-
pared the land for this very thing, while
our adjoining fields may not be in any
such condition. So, upon our ability to
manage cOrrectly depends our success
and, although coming more natural to
some people than others, a. faculty for
good management must be cultivated in
order to get the best possible results.
You have probably read of some star
upon the baseball diamond. To see this
man play we do not notion any particular
difference in his work from that of his
less successful team—mates. He does not
throw any swifter and perhaps does not
throw a greater curve—if a, pitcher—but
his success lies in the fact that he is
constantly outguessing his rivals, or do—
ing the right thing at the right time,
although he works no harder than his
poorest team-mate.

So with farming, the feeding of live
stock, care of animals during the winter
and breeding season. selecting of seeds,
(are of tools and buildings and the study
of markets and prices serve to involve
the farmer with more responsibility-and
make farming more important from a.
business standpoint than many people,
even farmers themselves, suppose.

SAVE PLENTY OF SEED CORN.

 

In a large part of this state seed corn
is sure to be very scarce, as the wet,
cold season kept‘ the corn back so that
but few fields have matured corn fit for
seed. Last year's corn was much better
here than it is this. yet seed corn that
would grow here sold last spring as high
as six cents per pound, or over $3.50 per
bushel, and the demand exceeded the

supply at that price. As we of the cen-
tral and northern part of the state can-
not safely use southern-growu seed corn,
it is pretty certain that those who do
have. good seed corn will again be well
paid for saving it.

In selecting seed for central and north—
ern Michigan the two most important
things to consider are earliness and yield.
In selecting corn for earliness an expert
judge will consider both the ear and the
kernel.

The very earliest ears are apt to not
have good butts as they were growing
kernels 0n them before pollen got very
plentiful and So many kernels failed to
grow, and at the time their lips were
setting kernels pollen would be plenty
so their tips would be Well filled. (in the
other hand, the latcst cars were setting
their first kernels while pollen was plenty
and their last ones at’tet pollen was
scarce, causing them to have better butts
than tips. The cars that were. maturing
midway between the earliest and the
latest will be the only ones to have plenty
of pollen all the time» and so have a.
chance to have two good ends. By keen-
ing these facts in mind it is easy to tell
whether a certain ear is earlier or later
than the average» of the crop it was
grown in.

But it is the kernels that furnish the
best. guide to comparisons between differ-
ent kinds of cern gidwu separately Of
couise, earllness of planting, soil and
season, will always have their effect on
a crop and so will need considering as a.
good sound ear in a poor ycar like this
will be earlier and a better yielder than
one of the same size and general ap-
pearance grown under better conditions,
and Will be bctter able to grow in a poor
cold year. It is. however, ‘1. safe rule
that, other things being equal. a wide.
hard kerncl of corn with little or no dent

make very good ensilage. The most of
it is glazed and some of it is just llt‘giil‘

At this writing (October 5). we haven't

before, it was coming handy this year
to put in nearly 100 acres of wheat, and
we have been so delayed by wet weather

two or three days yet to complete the
sowing. I don't like to put in wheat

RAPE AS A CROP FOR GREEN
MANURIE.

\Vill you please tell me if rape would
be all tight to plow under to enrich the

land?
'Washtc-naw C0. J. 1‘). M.

The value of rape. or any nondegumi-
nous crop, for green manure will depend
very materially upon the mechanical con-
dition of the soil and the rotation of
crops which is practiced upon the land.
There is no question but that rape un-
der some circumstances, can be veri,r
profitably used as a cover crop and plow-
rd down for green manure. If, for in—
stance, it is sown in the corn at the last
cultivation, it Will, under favorable con»
ditions, make a good growth in the late
fall, appropriating the available: fertility
in the surface soil and acting as a cover
crop fet the land ovcr winter to prevent
:1 leaching of the fertility anti the ero-~
sion of the surface from the effect of the
fall and spring rains. Then, in the spring
this growth of rape will be largely dc~
t-ayed and if plowed: unde-r for another
spring crop, such as oats. will add no
little vegetable matter to the soil in a

form which will be readily and quickly‘

"'ouvcrted into humus, thus proving a
material benefit to the land.

(ltlter conditions might arise when rape
i‘tillltl be. used as a catch crop to bc
p'owcd down for green manure with
very satisfactory results. It "should be
andcrstood, however. that rape is not a
lt-guminous crop and will add nothing to
the soil in the: way of plant food which it
docs not take from it
growth, but it can be used to good ad—

vantage as a cover crop to conserve thcl

smuble plant food already in the soil, and
at the same timc to add vegetable mat:-
tcr to the soil when the same is plowed
town for some other crop. it has the
advantage of being casy to grow and
i-hcaply
1111!) which should be more generally
grown upon Michigan farms than is the
case at present.

MARKETING THE HAY CROP.

A. R. FARMER.

Vliile present prices for hay are not so
satisfactory as sellers might desire, hay
buyers are frequently heard in private“ to
a great deal of confidence in the

express
lav lnfll‘lit'l. This is due to several
-thlsr 4. First, the country is very bare

41‘ old hay. Second, the area of hay was
somewhat lightened, duc to. the failure of
the new scedings last year on account of
the very gent-r111 and widespread drouth;
and third, the very unfavorable weather
which prevailed over large sections of tho
.ountry during the haying season.

The ‘prescnt summer resultcd in a great
deal of damaged hay so that hay of gool
nutrkct grade will not be espetially plen—

HOVENi-(ACUTE TVMPANITIS).

 

This affection is known by a variety of
terms, as hoove, blown, dew-blown, fog-
sickness. grass—sickness. hoven, acute
tympanitis, and acute indigestion. From
the suddenness of the attack. rapidity of
its course and frequently fatal termina-
t‘ion, it is essential that cattle owners
should be well versed in’ the nature.
causes and treatment of hoven. The
principal cause of hoven is fermentatiOn
of food and the elimination of gas in
rumen or paunch. The food most prone
to undergo this fermentatiOn is rich,
succulent grass, bedewed with moisture.
Hungry cattle that are weak, have weak
stomachs and who overload the stomach
with clover are likely tio bloat more or
less; especially until they become ac-
customed to this kind of food. It may
be caused by overloading the stomach
with sound fodder, but it is much more
likely to follow eating frosted vegetables,

decayed roots. tops of them. partially
riperncd grain, uncured grain and acid
plants. Choking is another very eom~

mon cause of bloat. All animals eat
more or less grecdily when turned into
good grass or clover pasture and when
eating rapidly little or no mastication
takes place. the food is then more likely
to ferment than if the animal had chew—
ed it slowly and musticaled it normally.

Now when the stomach is gorged its
function is partially suspended on ac—

count of their bl'lllg‘ litllle peristaltic ac-
tion of this organ and under this condi-
tion digestion is checkt-«il, thou fermenta-
tion takes place HrOtlLlCiill' lxoveu.
Bloating usually follOWs -i, torpiti condi-
tion or loss of fuiicllion of the salivary
glands, I liflVo pointed out a ten of the
most common causes of bloat, llL)\Vl.‘VCl',
there are liltllly other causes and it is
especially common in weak, ailing, or
underl‘ed stock when put on rich green
food in spring or fall. Bloating is usu-
ally aii indication of fermentation or in—
digestion and wht-n it exists to such an
extent as to cause distress treatment
should be resorted to. in horses the
bloating usually occurs in the large bow-
els, causing most of swelling to be seen
in right flank, while in cattle the swell-
ing of the whole left side of the belly
and left. ilank indicates clearly what the
ailment is. This swelling of flank 'ofteu
raises above point of hip and back-bone
and when tapped has a drum-like- sound.
Tin-re is usually great difficulty of breath-
ing, distended nostrils, eyes somewhat
bloodshot, mouth usually open and some
saliva escaping; besides, there is usually
gas escaping through the mouth. in cat-
tle, where they have a severe attack they
usually takt- .i standing position until
they fall to die; death resulting from
either a. ruptured diaphragm or stomach,
or a cessation of function Of one or more
of the vital organs or from a profound
nervous shot-k. Of course. an absorption
of this poisonous gas has something to
do in causing death and in some cases
I have found considerable- coiigoa‘tioii of
lungs

Treatment.
In severe eases treatment must be
prompt, energetic and heroic. Steps

should be taken to allow gas to escape
and as in choking, the passing of a hol—
low pi'obaiig into the stomach frequently
allows a. whole lot of the gas to escape
through the mouth, but if this does not
give relief, don't hesitate to puncture
pauncli through left llaiik. The most
suitable instrument is a Caiiula and tro-
car, which should be at least six inches
long and should be plunged without fear
into the left side in a downward and in-
ward direction from a point equi—distant
from the hip bone, the last rib and the
bony process of the back—bone. It is us-
ually no mistake to puncture at point
where there is the greatest distension by
gas. If you do not oWn a canula and
trocar. don't hesitate to make the open—
ing with a. sharp. clean knife, which can
be done without. any risk of causing
death. The Wound should be kept open
to allow gas to flow out; freely and all
the better to introduce a small tube for
gas to pass through. It is needless for
me to say that cleanliness should be ex—
ercised in doing this work. The punc-
turing of a horse should always be done
in right flank with a small canula and
trocar and the utmost care practiced for
fear of future fatal results. In cattle
there is very little danger from the op-
eration, but they shOuld never be punc-
tured in the right flank, for if so, it is
apt to. cause death.

Dashing a bucket of cold water or

THE MICHIGAN FARMER.

turning a. stream of water on the body
may give temporary relief, by condens-
ing the gas and favoring eructation, or
placing a gag in mouth frequently gives
relief. I forgot to say that when punc-
turing, the trocar being withdrawn, the
canula may be tied in or stitched in and
left there for hours, or sometimes daYs.
and in other cases where there is much
cngorgement of rumen, it is sometimes
necessary to remove its contents through
the side. then stitching paunch with cat—
gut, leaving these stitches in, them stitch
skin and muscles together and keeping
them in this position until wound heals.
In most cases it is good practice to give
a full dose- of cathartic medicine in or—
der to clear out stomachs and bowels.
Sulphate of soda or sulphate of magnesia
given in one or two-pound doses acts
well and it is good practice to combine
them with ginger. By giving two ounces
of aromatic spirits of ammonia in a pint
of cold water every twenty minutes will
generally nuetralize the gas. Or give six
ounces of hypo—sulphite of soda in a
quart of cold water every thirty minutes.
or give one-Ounce of aromatic spirits of
ammonia, three drams fluid extract ja«
borandi, one dram fiuid extract caliber
bean, one dram fluid extract belladonna
and four ounces of hypo—sulphite soda in
a pint of water and repeat in one-half
hour if necessary. These medical reme-
dies act very well in mild cases, but in
severe cases don't hesitate to puncture
rumen.

In conclusion, let me say there is al-
ways danger from bloating when hungry
cattle or sheep are turned into green
pastures, especially if they have? not been
accustomed no it, and it is most danger-
ous when the grass is moist. This be-
ing the case. it is advisable to keep
stock from such pastures until later in
the day when the dew has disappeared
and it may also be prevented by limiting
the time that hungry cattle and sheep
ire allowed to graze on such pastures.
I also suggest that every owner of cattle
and sheep should own a trocar and can-
ula suitable for puncturing a badly bloat—
ed animal, for this is an ailment that can
scarcely be always prevent-ed.

CARE OF YOUNG PIGS.
A strong, healthy. vigorous litter of

young pigs is one of the liveliest propo-
sitions found on the farm. They appear
to feel that they have an honest right to
good care and abundant feed and are
willing to put forth strenuous efforts to
obtain it. Under reasonable-conditions
and with sensible care they develop with
marvelous rapidity. and are one of the
surest sources of financial satisfaction
that many farmers possess. A healthy
pig is not a delicate creature in any
sense, but many a pig grows to market-
able age without obtaining the size and
Weight they shOuld, or would, under rea-
sonible conditions.

Most of the ills of pigs may be avoided
by sensible care and feed. It is far eas-
icr to escape sickness than to cure it. A
sick pig is a. difficult problem to solve by
li‘t‘Olll‘SG to medicine. The fat, sleek, ac-
tive litter may, in .l, few days be trans-
formed to a dull, haggard semblance of
health and activity by a wet, cold nest,
Sore mmiths, scours from unhealthful
food, ciowding by other pigs, or enforced
inactivity.

All these things are, in the main, pre-
ventable. If, by any chance, pigs do stop
growing and start on the down grade the
cause must be promptly removed. Daily
attention is necessary and one should
know that they are comfortable and their
:ippel‘ilcs satisfied with proper food.

Brood sows should have a quiet, warm,
dry place where their litters may spend
the first weeks of their lives without be-
ing unnecessarily disturbed by other an-
imals or inquisitive people. When a sow
can lie in quiet contentment and allow
her litter to satisfy their hunger and
then snuggle up to her great ‘licat-giving
body they are likely to rapidly develop
into a strong, husky lot of pigs. The
nest must be dry and sheltered from cold
winds, for nature gives the pigs but
scant protection from cold or damp. The
little bodies are easily chilled. which is
often sufficient to derange the system and
produce scours and indigestion. The straw
or other material of which the nest is
made must be often changed to keep it
fresh and clean and should not be used
in too great abundance. When too much
is used it allows the sow to make a long
narrow lair in which there is great dan-
ger that some of the pigs may be crush-
ed or smothered. A fresh. clean nest is
pretty good protection against scratches

or other slight flesh wounds from being
inflamed and sore.

For the first two weeks the pigs are
largely at the mercy of the feeder. The
sow needs, for the first 24 hours after
farrowing, nothing but water or very thin
slop, 'and from this time on the feed
should be of not too bulky a. nature. but
nourishing and satisfying. Begin by feed-
ing lightly and increasing gradually as
the litter are able to take it. Each day
will see both the mother and offspring
less liable to be disturbed by sudden
changes. .

Exercise is a vital thing in the growth
and well doing of young pigs and sun-
shine is a. natural tonic and developer.
The healthy pigs soon begin to play and
run about and at a surprisingly early age
will begin to take small amounts of solid
food. The food should be clean and
wholesome and the growth advanced to
the limit.

FEEDERS' PROBLEMS.

 

Cement Floor for Horses and Cattle.

Can horses and cattle stand en ce-
ment floors without injury to them while
in stable? Can I feed my horses oats
and rye. mixed whole, in small amounts
without any danger? Some say whole
.iye will cake in their stomachs.

Benzie Co. J. G.

Concrete floors are very generally used
for stabling both horses and cattle with-
out any noticeable deleterious effects on
the animals. For best results, however,
the cement should not be smoothed Off
loo much on the surface, a rough finish
being better for animals to stand on
than a smoothly floated surface, there
being much less likelihood of slipping
upon the floors. Sufficient bedding should
of course. be used to prevent danger of
bruises from contact with the hard floor.

Rye as a Horse Feed.

Rye can be fed to horses in small
quantities with oats, p;,irticularly to
horses that work, wilhout any serious
danger of digestive disturbances if fed

in a mixture of one-third rye and two-
thirds oats. Rye is too small a grain to
feed animals without grinding, however,
especially to horses that ea: their grain
rapidly. If the rye and oats .ire ground.
together and a small quantity of bran
added to the mixture it makes it a more
suitable feed; owing to Ihe- fzict that rye
is a sticky feed and difficult for the
horses to masticate and swallow properly
if it is made too large a factor in the
grain ration. Owing to the same ten-il-
ency it is likely to form a compact. mass
in the alimentary canal, making it diffi-
cult for the digestive juices to attack
it. If, however, it is fed in a suitable
combination with other grains as sug-
gested. it will give excellent results, even
in prolonged feeding.

LIVE STOCK—REES.

 

Edward Cudahy, the South Omaha
packer, iS quoted as saying that cheaper
meats, especially beef, will s00n be en~
joyed by consumers. While there will
likely be even more revision downward in
prices for cattle that fall below choice.
no big breaks are anticipated for the
good reason that supplies of both natives
end rangers are far under normal. Pros~
peciive prices for hogs will likely be rela—
tively high. The price pendulum for sheep
and lambs will swing toward the better
side just as soon as wesi'ern range ship—
ments have spent their force. No cheap
meals are in sight for the public for some
time to come, however.

W. H. Tapp & Bros, expert cattle feed-
ers and successful farmers of Kearney,
M0,, had a shipment of 17 grade Hereford
beef steers which averaged in weight
1.460 lbs. on the Chicago market recently,
obtaining $10.85 per 100 lbs. Ralph Tapp
accompanied the shipment. “We bought
these cattle as feeders in Kansas Nov—
ember last," stated Mr. Tapp. “They cost
$5 there, averaging 950 lbs. They were
run on grass until about Christmas, when
they Were put on shocked corn. About
the middle of April they were again put
on grass and fed shelled corn and mo-
lasses feed." _

In most states where live stock feeding
is carried on extensively feeders are talk-
ing 35 to _40—cent corn for the new crop,
while owners of corn with crib room are
llalking 40 to 50-cent corn, As yet very
few contracts have been made.

Late reports from Iowa. say that gen-
eral crop conditions were never better
than now, while cattle supplies, both of
young and matured cattle, are the small—
est ever knOWn since. the cattle industry
became established there

Many farmers who have wanted to fat-
ten cattle this winter hesitate when they
find that they are called upon to pay a
higher price for feeders than fat cattle
brought a year ago- One solution found
by numerous farmers is found in feeding
sheep and lambs.

Walter Williams. of Washington coun-
ty, Kansas. grazes his pigs in alfalfa
pastures during the summer, and steers
clear of disease. He says: “I keep my
hogs out in the open as much as possible
and feed them on the open pasture in-
stead of confining them in close quar-
ters." On his farm of 675 acres he has
800 hogs of various ages. '

Unthrifty Mare—I have a mare eleven
years old that is fed fairly well, but
when worked tires quickly when doing
very light work. She is fed four quarts
of ground corn and oats three times a
daY. With plenty of hay; besides, she runs
in pasture part of the time. At present
she has a young colt, but does not give
enough milk to satisfy colt. C. K., Law-
rence, Mich—Her. teeth may need float-
ing. Incnease her grain ration, feeding
her more oats and less corn; also give
her 1 oz. ground gentian, 1 oz. ground
ginger and 1 dr. ground nux vomica at
a dose in feed three times a, day. She
may possibly have a weak heart.

Nav’icular Lameness.—I have a. fine
driving mare that I use on mail route
and a short time ago she made a blun—
clering step and almost went down. Next
day she was very lame; our local Vet.
located lameness in coffin joint and ap-
plied olister which fails to make her
much better. Her lameness seems to be
more severe on certain days and I would
like to know how to treat her. R. W.
1)., Honor, Mich—Before treating a case
of lameness it is important to locate it
and at the same time ascertain nature of
ailment. I imagine your Vet. is right.
Apply cerate of cantharides to sore parts
every ten days and allow her to rest
until she travels sound.

Barrenness—Stringlialt.——My cow came
fresh the latter part of May, since then
she has not been in heatl. She has had
only one. calf and this one came dead. I
also have a mare nine year old that
shows symptoms of sti'iiighalt, but is al-
most well. L. F., Temperance,’ Mich.—
Give your cow 11/2 drs. ground nux vom-
ica and ‘7‘.» oz. powdered capsicum at a
dose in feed twice a day. Stringhalt al-
ways effects animals most during cord
weather. A surgical operation will gen—
erally afford relief.

Sitfast-——SWeeiiy.———I have a three-year-
old filly that has a hard bunch on shoul-
der; would like to know what to put on
to take. it off This bunch formed after
collar gall had been on shoulder for some.
time. i also have another three—year—old
filly that has wasting of muscles of upper
part of shoulder, but this sweenied con-
dition has not existed very long and does
not cause much lameness. What can be
dozie to cause shoulder to fill out to nai-
tural size? J. . Marcellus, Mich.—
Drugs make littleimpression when ap-
plied to a bunch of this kind, therefore,
the only satisfactory treatment consists
in cutting them out. Apply to wound
one part iodo-form and 20 parts boracic
acid twice a day. Clip hair off abrophied
muscles and app-1y cerate of cantharides
once a week.

Bruised Fetlock Joint—Last spring I
bought a 12-year—old mare with small
enlargement on inside of fetlock joints.
Lately I find she shows some soreness
and lameness. caused perhaps by strik—
ing. Vt’hat treatment do you advise? I
intend to let her rest and run in pas-
ture. J. H., Redford. Mich—Apply tinc-
ture of iodine to bunch three times a
week.

Long Rough Coats.~I would like to
know what causes horses to have such
long hair on their bodies so early in the
fall. G. C. K., Holland, Mich—It is nit-
l;ural for some horses to have extremely
heavy, long coats of hair, while others
are inclined to have short coats. I ad«
\ise you to clip them about Nov. 1, or
perhaps a little earlier. and if done early
in the fall he coat will grow sufficiently
long to protect your animal from cold,
during winter: then the same animal
should again be clipped next spring.

Leaking Navel—Punctured Foot—Have
a weaned colt six months old uhat had
a leaking navel for two days when about
a week old. We avoided any apparent
serious consequences by throwing him
and dusting the navel and cord With
boracxc acid powder. Soon after this he
prickcd his left front foot with a new
shingle nail, making wound in cleft of
frog. As soon as he showed lameness I
pulled the nail out and injected strong
hot carbonized water in the hole. In a
few days it festered, leg swelled, then I
called our local Vet. who opened wound
and applied antiseptic irrigation for three
weeks. but at first he applied poulticcs.
The wound seemed to heal fairly well,
swelling went mostly away, but foot grew
21 little out of shape. The c‘olt is still
lame but foot is not very tender when
tapped with a hammer, but picks up in—
jured foot a little quicker than the op-
posite one. He takes little exercise un-
less compelled to move. Is there any
probability of frequent recurrence or per—
manent lameness? Would it be advis-
able to let this colt follow the mare as
much as 20 miles a. daY. if he did not get
more lame? If there is no prospect of
this colt making a. permanent recovery,
I prefer to destroy him now and save
expense. R. G. B., Coloma. Mich—If you
will apply one part: iodine and 12 parts
fresh lard to coronet twice a week, it
will assist nature in relieving the colt of
foot pain. It would be a mistake to 'let
your colt travel more than tw0 or three
miles a day. The leaking navel had no
c0nnectlon whatever with his foot trouble,

Hernial Operation Resulting in Death.
-—1 have just lost a line yearling colt
from an operation for hernia; the rup—
tm‘o appeared last winter; some advised
me not to have it treated, that it would
gradually disappear. I consulted a Vet.
Who graduated from college 25 years ago
and he advised an Operation. ,The colt
wastaken out of field and operated on;
Lie \‘ct taking ou-t a small piece of fibre.
or cord, then stitching inner lining and
outer muscles. The colt was very un-
easy after operation and kicked its way
out (if stall. Colt was operated on Thurs—
day a. m., and dicd Friday evening. I

a sccond operation as the intestines were

‘ protruding and after operaIIOn gaVc hy—

podermic of (luieting medicine which
gave tcznpOrary relief, but colt died that
same evening. Now What I would like
to know is. if the colt should have bcen
operated on right away after coming out
of pasture lot and if the Vet. should not
pay for loss of colt? A. H. 8., Mt. Clem—
ens, Mich. First of all let me say that
an abdominal opening seldom c‘loscas with—
out surgic'ul or mechanical assistance.
Your Yet, would in no way be linblc for
damages unlcss a guarantee contract
were made between you and he. It is
needless for me to say that such opera-
tions are always done with some risk of
a fatal termination. Abdominal surgery
in both man and beast cannot be done
without a certain degree of risk; All
things considered, 1 believo your Ve-t.

turcd animal is not very saleable and
they can only be made well by surgical
work and on account of being unablc to

position, as in human practice. the
chance of recovery is not nearly so
great.

Stillc SpI'ain.—~l have a colt that has
been lame in stifle ever since it was out

Contagious Abortion—What is the best
way to treat a herd of cows where con—

a difficult matter to eradicate your herd
of this ailment. 'l‘reaftm't-nt to be effec—
tive must be thorough. ,‘lnjcct cows with
a solution made by dissolving 1 dr. per-
manganate potash in a gallon of water
and these applications should be made
cvcry two or three days. Also give 30
drops carbolic :l’Jili, wcll diluted and mix—
cd with feed once or twice a day to each
.Ziscascd cow. Your prcmises where cows
are kept should be disinfected. \Vhen a
cow aborts shc should be removed from
balance of herd and treated until she is
wcli, for it is always a mistake to allow
Ihe sick and hcalthy to come in contact
with C‘lCh other.

Illustrating the big sums of money That
fut cattle are bringing, a clIc-ck for $3,220
was rcccully gchn by Armour & Co.. at
Chicago, for a single cur load that
brought $101!?» per 100 lbs. This is said
to be more mom-y than :1 single car load
of cattle cver brought on the open mur—
kct bcvforcl.

\\'hile lhinois, Iowa and Missouri stock-

with thin cattle as fast as possible. cost-
ern i'cedcvrs have bccu afraid of the high
priccs asked and have bccn waiting~ for
opportunities for buying at reduced
prices.

Cheap corn is sure to quicken the de—
mand for cattle for fattening in the near

I'IIlurc. The hnrycsIs of the Various
gialns, hay. polulocs. etc.. are simply
Immense. Thc bumpcr grain yield is

laxmg the crop moving facilities of
banks, clcvatol-s and railroads lo the ut-
most. llurvcst labor shortage in humor-

thc largcsl tccd crops ever .grown and
finished bccl’ cattle fetching from {510(1111
per 100 lbs, it would be, strange if tho
dcmand for caItle to feed did not become
large.

(in account of thc grcot scarcity of
[coding lambs, yearliugs and shcep in the
Chicago and Missouri River markets ev—
er sincc thc range shipping season began.
some months ago, large sheep and lamb
i'ccdc-rs lizIVc bccn making trips to the
range country and making large pur-
chascs (liIect from the big runchmen.
it is known thaI' shipments of i‘ccders
from the markms of the country have
shown large reductions from Ihosc made
last ycur, and it is lll't'SllHH’Ki that feed-
lng opcrzltions the coming wintcr will be
on a much lowcrcd scale, but no rccord
has bccn kept of range purchnscs, so
that it is impossible to form any clcur
idea of what will be accomplished. Na:—
urully. thc abundance of feeds this year
will tend to cncouragc many farmcrs
to maintain flocks of shecp, however, and
it is known that some good buying has
been done in the: range country. For
something like six weeks Colorado shecp
i‘ccdcrs have been travorsing the range
country, and they have, made liberal pur—
chuscs, starting in with sclcctions of a
fcw flocks of lambs as low as $4.75 pcr
l00 lbs. llc‘l‘orc long they had to pay
around $3.25, howcycr, and as high as
$5.50 was paid for choice New Mexico
lambs. \Vyoming l‘ccding lambs have
sold largely around $5, and tho bulk of
the northern lllcxicos brought $5.25.

Scarcily of beef cuttlc will continue for
a considerablc period licl'orc production
again rcaches large proportions in the
west. in lhc opinion of A. ll. lt‘icld, one
of the largest ranch owners and cattle
l‘tliSt'l‘s in the country. Mr. Field sold
rcccntly 5:2 car loads. containingTUO heat
of cattle in Chicago. ile is one of the
firm of two men conIrolling thc Standing

prising l,500 000 acrcs. Shipments of
cattle from this reservation to the Chi—
cago stock yards averaged 50 car loads
weekly, beginning the first of August, for
several weeks.

Indicating the good priccs paid on the
wcstern ranges for sheep and lambs, it
is stated that a Rawlins, \‘l‘yoming. owner
has sold witin a short time holdings of
about 2.1000 head at the following scale
of prices: Ewes, one and ‘two years old,
$4.50; three-year-old ewes, $4; four-year—
old ewes, $3.50; ewes, five years and old-

The feeder who thinks unwholcsomc con—

Dr. Hess flip and
Disinfectant

It destroys lice, the cholera germ. in fact, all
germs of infectious diseases. when sprinkled
about the premises. Powerful, harmless.
easily applied. Make a solution. one gallon
of dip to 70 or 100 gallons of water. Spray
withthis thoroughly. Prepare a plank—sided
wallow and let the hogs roll in the dip solu—
tion. This treatment will end lice and, in
addition. render hogs immune to cholera
and other infectious diseases.

Dr. Hess Dip meets the Government re-

'2 Make Fall and Winter
Dairying More Profitable

HERE are special advantages in using
a good cream separator during the fall
and winter months.
The milk from COWS long in lactation is
hardest to cream,—and likewise hardest to
. separate with an inferior separator.

Moreover. cream and butter prices are

highest, so that the waste of gravity setting
or a poor separator counts for most.

Then there’s the sweet. warm skim-milk
‘ for stock feeding, alone worth the cost of a
separator in cold weather.

There is surely no reason to delay the
purchase of a separator or to continue the
use of an inferior one. A De Laval machine
will save its cost by spring. and may be

1 bought on such liberal terms if desired as
. to actually pay for itself meanwhile.

See your local De Laval agent.

ence in feeding this product I am sus-
picious that it does in some way interfere
with the functions of reproduction.
Several years ago, on a business trip
in the south. i talked with a. man who
had large live stock interests, where cot-
tonsci-d meal was right at hand and the
chcapest source of protein that he could

possibly purchase and he expressed the
opinion thal, for a, breeding herd one
wanlcd to bc careful about the amount
of (-oltonsced incal which be fed. At

very timc we were having trouble
with cows that failed to breed. It is
quite a serious loss in a breeding herd
and one not only loses the production of
milk, but he also loscs lhc offspring.
which is quitc (is prolilnblc in most in—
stances ris lhc milk product. And an—
other pha‘sc of the qucslion is that if it
docs in somo unknown way affect the
functions of rcproduclion it probably is
not a healthful food if l‘cd in largo quan—

honey costs from 8 to 13c per lb. to pro—

farmer bee—keeper, with his small apiztry
or aptiries, has at number of advantages
over the specialist who, with his large
number of colonleg, overstocks his ter—
ritory. The farmer with a small number
of colonies does not overstock his locality
and therefore gets bumper yields if bees-

MILK PRODUCTS.

 

IiY FLOYD XV. ROBISON.

Butter.

Our observations tip to date have been
directed almost entirely to milk as a.
direct food. \Vc now come to the con—
sideration of milk in relation to some of
the products which are manufactured
from it. Probably we should give first
consideration, or rank, therefore, among
these products, he butter.

Butter is one of the products which,
from very ancient times has been man-
ufactured from milk and is one of the
commodities which regulates in a very
large degree the commercial value of
milk. Milk, of course, owes its butter
value entirely in proportion to the per-
centage of milk fat contained in the milk.
Therefore, of ttvo milks, one showing six
per cent and the other three per cent
fat. the butter value of the six per cent
tat, should exactly double the butter val-
ue of the three per cent, fat.

In brief. the. general method of the
manufacture of butter consists in a sens
oration of the cream, remaining its high
content of fat. from the more soluble and
watery portions of the milk: the subse-
qucnt ripening of this cream either nat—
urally or by first pastcurixinu and then
inoculating the cream with a starter,
which alloWs it; to ripen alone; definite,
specitic lines out then, when the proper
degree of acidity is reachcd, tiually
churning;r the. cream, thereby causing the
globules of fat to aglutinate- or gather
thcinselves toacthcr into a solid mass.
By skillful manipulation of the butter
making process very nearly all of the
milk fat may be; removed from the cream.
so that the buttermilk is practically dc—
void of any fat whatsoever. Naturally,
along with the fat which has become
gathered together, particles of cream will
be entangled and when the fat is subse—
quently washed, as is common practice.
the butter will retain varying,r percent—
ages of moisture. it is usually customary
to add varying percentages of salt so
that now we have as the constituents of
butter, first, butter—fat; second, water;
third, curd, or milk solids: and fourth,
salt. this latter an added substance.

Composiion of Butter.

A first—class quality ()9 butter will
show on an average from 821/: per cclit
oi" butter-fat, and from one per cent to
ill/K; per cent of salt; .3 per cent curd and
not ('Xceet'ling it} per cent moisture.

Butter Very Variable in Composition.

in an extended series of analyses of
butter ('llfltlllt'iC'ti by the writer for the
Michigan Dairy and Food Department; we
found that the average content of moist—
ul‘e was considerably below .12 per cent
although some of the, Very llcst grades of
butter on the market contained as high
as 15 per cent and in some instances
more. ln this connection it may be in—
terestinar to observe that the butter whicn
has established the world market and
which draws the highest market price
has been the Danish butter, which av.-
crages something,r over i4 per cent moist—
ure. It. seems reasonable to believe that
butter of high quality will be Vcry apt:
to contain a fairly large percenthge of
moisture Of course, it is not true that
by putting in a large percentage of
moisture in butter that butter may be
made, high-grade, because the moisture
content in no wise governs the quality
of the product. On the other hand, it
does seem, however, that the quality of
the product in some considerable degree
governs its moisture content, and we
theretore expect to find in the highest
grade butter mt’tnttfact‘urod a rather high
content of moisture.

Adulterated Butter.

I’ndcr (ct of congress the Commission—
er of the Internal Revenue Department
has been tested with the authority of
enforcingr the law which provides a tax
for revenue purposes on what is known
as “adulterated butter.” The- law spe—
cially mentions that butter containing
an abnormal quantity of water shall be
classed, as adulteratcd butter. The In-
tcrnal Revenue Commissioner has ruled
that 16 per cent of moisture shall be
construed as abnormal. In other words,
butter which contains 16 per cent or over
.of moisture shall be construed by the
Internal Revenue Department as adulter—
ated under the law. Of course, this rul-
ing has not the effect of law and the de-

‘partmeut is compelled in the event of a

contest to establish to the satisfaction
'0: a jury in the United:States Courts
Jthaat “that ruling is justifiable. ~ While

thctre may be. a few instances in which
butter of exceptional quality may run as
high as 16 per cent or over, we are of
'he opinion that for law enforcement pur-
poses and for the proper protection of
the consumer the 16 per cent limit is
a just one. Of course, it is clearly in-
cumbent upon the Internal Revenue» De-
partment, as upon any executive depart—
ment, that such a method be followed in
the securing of samples as will show en—
tire fairness and will give accurate re-
suits.
Cream Grading is Necessary.

To produce butter of high quality not
only is it necessary to have good work—
manship in the crcamctry on the part (if
the butter-maker, but what is still more
important. the raw material. the cream.
from which the butter is manufactured.
must be of number one quality. “’0 do
not believe it is possible to produce Nc.
1 butter from cream which shows an
acid content exceeding .4 per cent. There
has been. up to date, too much jealousy
among creamcries throughout the state
for them to adopt any uniform system
for the grading,r of cream, i’lcvl'ore the
butter industry can assume the magni»
hide it should assume and before our
state ('Ill take its proper rank as a dairy
state. the ownt‘rs and managers of cream,

dticrinine the fitness or the untitness of
Meant for butter—making purposes at the
i‘it'FPll‘t time depcnds entirely upon the.
taste of the cream buyer. If the cream
tastes sour he may reject it or deduct,
according to his own rule, one or two
cclii< per pound, but experimentation has
shcwn that there are not two cream bit/-
ers who can grade cream alike by the
taste and by the smell. Consequently it
seems desirable that some system bn
adoptcd which is independent of the in—
dividual. Not only is the individual fac-
tor unsatisfactory because the ere-tin
buyer cannot discriminate close. enough
but it is also the cause of very much
discontent among farmers who feel] that
they are. being unjustly discriminated
against. The scheme devis d by thl
writer to overcome this is by using a
standard solution of alk-tli which is very
simple of manipulation and indicates cx—
actly and conclusively not only to the
l-uycr but also to the seller when the
milk lltls reached a degree of acidity
wl‘ich would necessitate its being graded
as No. 2. it is not necessary to test all
>an.ple.s of crcim but only the doubtf‘il
cases and if this plan is adopted ill(‘-Il

their competitive creamerirs sutlieicntly
and have not sufficiently realized that

venting the stainlardizing and making
uniform of their own products.

The report of Audit-

they will pay in stale taxes for the cur-

Among counties of this class mighl' be
mculioned Saginaw. Bay, Llraliot, Huron,

say, however, that in these counties the

the amount of state taxes paid is small,
while in some of the poorer and less de—

received in this disbursement is more
than twice the amount of state. times

paid, and in some cases more than three
times the state taxes.

On the other hand, a few of bhe more

than they receive in primary school mon-
ey from this distribution, including Gogo-

There we many who have contended

SELECTING A SITE FOR THE
ORCHARD.

 

 

 

 

l‘rofessor Halligan, of the Michigan Ag-
ricultural College, recommends the plants
mg of apple orchards in the autumn and
so. to those good people of Michigan
who are going to plant apple orchards
this fall, this article is especially import-
ant. However, let it be understood, that
the above authority does not recommend
the printing of peach orchards in the
fall.

t'nlike any of the. other farm crops, a
mistake in the planting of an orchard
cannot be reetitied in one year but it of-
ten takes several years to correct the
error made and still more often the error
can never be entirely corrected, and so
it is welt to ith-stigate the subject thor—
oughly before attempting to select a
site for the orchard. If the orchard
should be placed on an unfavorable piece
of around, then the fruit raiser cannot
et-tnpt-te successfully with his neighbor
who has his trees planted on good land.

There are. three essential points which
should not he ovrrlookcd in selecting the
fillw :‘or an orcahrd. These points are
drainage. soil. and exposure.

in speaking of drainage, it must be
hornet in mind that drainage is of two
kinds, namely: soil and air. Ordinarily
the farmer does not pay any attention
to the air drainage of his farm but the
successful t‘ruit grower must see to it
that his t'ruit land is well air drained if
he expects lllt' maximum yield. Slop:
and both kinds of draining go hand in
hand is neither will he good it the land
is perfectly level. Most orchard trees
art- not well adapted to an attcous growth
like the willow. which is well adapted to
live in water. This :tccounts for the
fact that the willow is a poor tree to
plant for shade in (t town, for the roots
will penetrate drains and sewers and clog
them tip. if .1 person will go through
s(llll€. of tho orchards ot’ southern Miclt~
tgar- that are 20 years old, he will find
spots that are barren of trees. These
are either low plaees where the water
dots not pass off readily or else they are
places where there is a poor circulation
tvt’ air. \\'e are all acquainted with the
fact that warm air is lighter than cold
and so if there. is a low place in the field
the air is generally colder and the warm
air cannot dislodge it because of the
above mentioned tact. and besides, the
sun's rays will not reach the spot as
readily as other places in the llt‘ltl. Then
also. this spot will he the Hill" that gets
the latest frosts it: the spring and the
t:ti"l-‘.\'t frosts in the tall.

.\s to the soil determination, we know
\‘try little about it, but we, do know that
years do their hcst on clay soil, peaches
do their best on sandy soil, and apples
do their best on a strong soil.

\\'c lind that the drained soil has sev-
(ral important advantages over soil that
is not drained. lh'aincd land gets dry
quicker in the wet season than undrain-
(tl and it also keeps moist longer in the
airy season than the undrained soil.

l‘Zach small particle of soil is surround—
ed by a thin him of water and it the soil
is packed very hard there is not this film
of water around tacit particle but the
him is around the wltolo mass. in gen—
t'l‘lll, it does not pay to depend entirely
upon Ell'llllt‘llll drainage for orchard land,
but there are spots in a griat many or—
chards that t'tillltl be made to produce
fruit abundantly hy the expenditure of
a small amount of money for a few tiles.
in such low spots, we find the greatest
txtremes of temperature which is due in
part, to the wet condition of the soil.

Then. again, an orchard that is not
well air and water drained is more sub-
ject to the various t‘ungous diseases be—
cause the spores of the t'ungous grow
best in moist, warm conditions such as
are found where the air drainage is not
good. In such a spot the dew does not
dry off the trees before the warm rays
of sun strike the tree.

Sloping sites are desirable for they us-
ually have good soil and air drainage
but one sltOuld be careful not -to select
a site where the slope is tloo steep for
when this is the case, the cost of caring
for the trees is so great that the man lo-
cated on a more gentle slops can pro-
duce the fruit at a less expense. Usually
in the early spring when one should
spray for the scale, it is hard enough to
get on land that has a gentle Slope with
a power sprayer while it would be a
practical impossibility to get on a great
slope with anytihing but a barrel and

THE MICHIGAN FA-RMER.

pump sprayer. This manner of spraying
would mean a. great loss of time where
a number of trees were to be treated.
Then, too, the orchard should be culti-
va'ted to produce a root system of deep
feeders and to thus give the trees brace
roots with which they would be able to
stand the windstvorms. But cultivation
would be impractical upon very steep
slopes.

Then there also comes up the ques—
tion of exposure and let me say before
discussing this phase of the question,
that there are no best exposures but
there are exposures which are best for
some specific kind of horticultural growth
and the fruit tree planter must analyze
his conditions and detlermine for himself
the slope that will best suit his particu—
lar needs.

in general, however, a, southern ex-
posure is an early one and is very well
adapted to the growth of early truck and
the growing of early peaches. It is esti—
mated that a southern slope will ripe-n

peaches and other fruit. about a week
earlier than any other slope. However.

it is better for growing fruit for the gen-
eral market to plant‘, on a northern slope
for the northern slope induces growth
which is late enough to dodge the late
spring frosts. A northern slope is cool
and moist and well adapted to the pro—
duction of winter apples because the
farmer wants them to ripen late; also,
here the apples have an abundance of
water for growth during the growing
stage. 011 a northern slope, the trees
are not liable to sunscald. which con—
dition is brought about by the thawing
out of one side of the tree in the early
spring, while the ouher side of the tree
remains frozen. The part that thaws
out tries to grow but it cannot get nour—
ishment enough and so it dies. There is
also less danger of wintt‘tr—killing on the
northern slope for winter-killing is not
due to continued freezing periods but to
alternate freezing and thawing.

\n eastern slope generally has richer
and deeper soil than does the» western
slope because. for centuries and centu-
rits the prevailing winds have been from
the west and as :1 consequence we find
that all the loose particles of soil have
heen carried over to the eastern slope and
deposited.

Besides. these considerations, one should
select his site with particular reference
to the bodies of water and the modifying
effect of any body of water is directly
proportional to its depth. Generally
speuking. the fruit farms of western
Michigan should have a western exposure
for this is the direction in which the
cool air is modified by the lake. How-
ever, the horriculturist will have to make
a study of his own conditions and make
his cyposure correspond very largely to

the kind and quality of fruit that he-

expects to raise.

THE 1912 ONION CROP, A BIG ONE.

The unusually high price paid to pro-
ducers for onions last spring stimulated
interest in this crop and caused a larger
acreage to be planted titan normally. Al-
most every state where onions are grown.
in large quantities reports an acreage of
from live to 2:3 per cent larger titan a
year ago.

lteports also show that the yield per
acre will be above normal. The crop re-
porter of the Department of Agriculture
estimates that the
l'nited States on August 1 was 15.6 points
higher than on the same date a year
earlier and three points higher titan the
average for the past six years. Massa—
chusetts, Connecticut and New York are
the only three states whose estimated
crop for 1912 is below the six—year av—
erage, while Pennsylvania, Ohio, lndiana,
Illinois, Michigan, \\’isconsin. Minnesota,
Iowa and Colorado have a yield estitnats
cd from tWo to 11 points above the six-
year average. Reports from special cor—
respondents and through other private
mediums of information appears to ver—
ify the estimate made by‘ the govern—
ment.

Over against the above conditions must
be placed the. poor weather onion growers
have had for maturing the crop. The
excess moisture prolonged the growing
period and is delaying harvesting far be—
yond the usual time for this work. The.
quality of onions in many instances, is
likely to be impaired by this condition
and probably the amount of marketable
bulbs will be decreased. It will be wise
for growers to watch conditions carefully
and use precautions to get the crop in
storage in good shape, for it may hap-
pen that first-class stock will be in good
demand before another season.

The Suffrage Plank.

1 have been asked why I never express
myself on woman's suffrage, with a ris—
ing inflection indicating that the ques-
tioner would like to have me.

There are two reasons why i have not
touched on the subject. the principal one
being that l have never felt the least
glimmering of interest in it. The other
grows out of that. .-\s l have felt no in-
tqre‘st in it, anything I might write
Would probably be on the anti~sidc and
succeed only in rising the ire. of the suf-
fragists, a thing which it is not always
pleasant or sale to do.

So far as the movement simply con-
cerns woman‘s right to vote. I am with
.he sut'fragists. I believe, with them,
that Woman has as much right to say
how she will be governed as has man.
But in looking at the institutions run by
women, and timing how they all have to
have a man adviser somewhere in the
background, I can’t for the life of me see
why women should be so anxious to take
a turn at running the state and na-
tional government.

I have. Ilotlt'l-tl, too, and this statement.
is always; like the proverbial red rag to
the bull, where sut‘l‘ragis'ts are cont-etu-
td. that the leaders of the cause are al-
ways women who haven‘t anything else
.0 do but go around stirring up things.
.‘\t least it seems that. way to inc. They
are either married women with no chil-
dren, married women whose children
liaVe grown up, or spinstcrst. That is, the
leaders. mind you. There are other sut-
it‘ltgists who haVc growing children, but
:hcy look unetant‘ort‘ahle and out of place.
They are in the Inovmnent because some.
militant neighbor got after them and

because they have been so busy bringing
up ("lilltllt‘ll they haven’t had time to
i'lllllli much about political questions.

1 was invited to a sul‘l‘ragists' tea a,
I“cw months ago. and went, expecting to
comr- back rt-eking with information, if
not a t'liith'l'l. l sinilc yet. cywry time I
think of it. Suffrage was t'hc one thing
not mentioned at that tea. I heard how
many teeth Mrs. Young )lother’s baby
had: what kind of meat Mrs. Middlo

say suffrage was not mentioned. It was
twice. The. president of the club tried
hard to set her cohorts going in the Flt-{ht
direction, but dress. babies, and recipes

 

were more intcrtsting to the membcrs.

This may not havt- been a. typical gath—

male citizens over 21. unless criminal, in~

I'ntil last week I never had the least
desire, t6 vote. But after attending a
meeting,r of women who are seeking to do
away with high prices it came to me that
suffrage might be a. pretty good thing
for wenien after all. There was a. great
deal said on the subject of high cost of
living, but there seemed to be very little

that women could actually do to lower
prices. Suppose, however,we had the
ballot and the dealers saw we could do
as well as tltlk. VVOuld it not put a dif-
ferent complexion on the matter? It is

 

one thing to talk when everyone knows
you can’t do a. thing. It is vastly differ-
ent to have everyone aware. of the fact
that you can do. Then you do not need
to talk. Perhaps, after all, the ballot
for women might work some. of the. mir-
acles its advocates predict.

HUMAN WELFARE QUERIES.

 

Household Editorz—Here is a recipe for
dill pickles which is reliable. Can any-
one send recipe for ripe tomato pickles?

Dill Pickle-5L

One pound salt, one quart white vine—
gar, one pail water. Alum the size of an
egg, and good—sized pinch of dill. Cover
with light weight and let stand two or
three \\'ecks.——l\’lrs. R. S.

Pack a layer 01‘ medium sized cucum—
bers in a crock and cover with grape
leaves and a small amount of dill. Re-
peat this until the crock is full. then cov-
er with a brine made from one pound of
salt to ten quarts of water. Put a heavy
weight on it.—Mrs. E. L. P.

Elderberrles.

Eight pounds of elderberries, four
pounds of sugar, one pint vinegar. Boll
down rather thick and keep in crock for
winter use. if too thick for pics. add a
little hot water when wanted for use.

Some time ago, a young girl asked for
new ideas for evening refreshments, for
a club of girls. A lemon cut in half,
with a stick of white candy (through
which the juice is drawn). is a novel
idea for such a company. l'ser wafers or
a plain cake with it. Bouillon, with diced
husked bread and waters is another
dainty refreshment. Fruit juice served
in dainty sherbet cups, with little indi—
vidual cakes, is nice. Chicken patties,
a. swact pickle and a small sandwich is
a. little more elaborate, but “t;tsty.”»—
Al. ll.

Household tinnitus—Someone has asked
for a recipe for putting up cidcrheries.
Here is Ullt' that 1 think the “best ever."
Seven pannds of clean berries, three
pounds brown sugar, one pint bc-st vine—
gar. Cook until berries “crinkle.” Then
put three heaping tablespoonfuls corn
starch into a bowl, stir. smooth with cold
water. add to the berries, cook a few
minutes. when the juice will be clear
and thick like jelly. Can while hot. Will
keep in crocks for quite a while—Mrs.
.lC. ll, Mason.

llouselrtld twitch—Being,r a reader of
your paper, I see you have given others
help and so now 1 will ask it' you know
of anything that will clean a rubber—
liuislu:.l raincoat or slipon‘.’ l have tried

I should be afraid to use gasoline or
any other cleaning lluid on the rubber
linish, as it would undoubtedly spoil the
coat by softening the rubber. Try scrub-
bing the coat with a soft brush and a
good white soap. taking care to rub
gently. l’erhaps some reader who tas
had a similar experience can tell how
she cleaned such a coat.

Pare. halve and core the apples; stick
two whole cloves in each half. Mix vin-
egar, brown sugar and broken stick cin-
namon together in the proportion of one
pint of vinegar to two pounds of sugar
and one ounce of cinnamon. Bring slowly
to the boiling point, boil 20 minutes and
then cook the fruit until it is soft. Dip
out. place in creeks and pour the liquor
over ‘them, taking care to have enough
to cover the fruit. The amount of syrup
needed will depend upon the quantity of
fruit you pickle. The proportions hetre
given are for one-half peck. You can

looked across the

11111111y spread 11111111 111 111111 bright, sunny
facc of 1111‘ daughter, llcrtha; and hen
dark eyes, tirc-l from the work at the

factory, were full of a. deep seriousness.

“Listen, dcaric.” she said, and w'cnt on
to read from the letter in her hand. It
bore the postoilice stamp of a. distant
city.

As she. finished reading thc typewrittcn
letter, Mrs. \\'alton folded her hands, and
11111 question that her cycs asked was the
simple one—could they take him into
their little homc'.’

“Bertha,” she said after a moment,
“can‘t we do something for him; he was
always so good to me when we Wcre
children? 1 wishfi" she looked around
the. little cottage room wilh its w'cll-\‘\‘(1“ll
furniture 11s 11‘ it gently warned her not
to undertake 11111 much.

“Mother, dear,” Bcrtha. said. “i
we could, but you are working so hard at
the factory, and i do so wish to keep up
my high school work; but we ought to
take care 111' him—think of his being in
those horrid places with 11111111; bars and
eyes. lcl's motlter, l'll make 1111 my work

Mrs \\'11111111's filled with tears.
“llcarie I‘m proud 111 you~~my own Will-
1112' 111.10 girl.“

So i; was 1leci1l1d, and the next day a.
letter sped to 1111» far western city, car-
rying the word of their willingness to
take up another burdcn, gladly and 1111—
(omplainingly.

Mrs. Walton, after her husband‘s dcat'h,
had been forced to st'ck employment in
the only industry in 1111- village~—1hat 0f
overall-11111111111: in the only factory. Ber-
tha did the simple housckccping and car—
ried on her studics in .‘11e high school.
(.‘ourageously they 11.111 t'accd 11111 future
and. 11y living simply and carefully, they
found life happy together.

l’rom hcr brother she had heard very
htzle, other than the 111-ws that came in
lcttcrs tolling of his tight to make his
business a succtss. 111 his i111pulsivc way
he had offered his assist-111cc aftcr hcr

11111. 1111- 11111111 111- himself was fighting,
sl11- had refused his aid. Now he was
coming to them in his bitter need.

One of the sunny rooms was furnished

for him, everythingr made comfortable
for his coming and s’.~‘.1y. Bertha had
made arrangemcnts with the principal

of the high school so that she could study

the future looked biight before them.
came when the invalid was
brought in. “"ith him came an attendant
who cxplaincd in detail that there was
little hope of recovery as far as his
mind was concerned, but that he would
grow strong physically, it‘mugh never
able to take 11p manual 12.111111:

And so it proved. 11101 greeted them in
a gentle understanding way and smhed
delightedly when Bertha called him “lin-
('19 Peter.” At “1e suppcr table, he spoke
in a slow, h ting way, and seemed
perfectly sane, though at times a shadow
seemed to set uponhis face. ’

“Alice,” he said to Mrs. XValton, “this

me— I have been very sick; my mon-
eyv”

Bertha, remembering the injunction of
the attendant that the invalid was not
to dwell upon his financial affairs, slip—
ped around the table and drew his worn
face against her shoulder. “Uncle, we
don't care about anything except that we
are g1ad»~~glad to have you here». see?
And you’re never, never, to talk about
money; we simply won’t listen, that‘s
all ”

The. lined face softened as if a Shadowy
hand had smoothed it. “I will remem-
ber and be good, but—some day when»—
a man pays me—ah; I see that I came
very near breaking my promise~1 won’t
1gai11." .

The days went by. .loyfully and cheer-
fully, Mrs. \Valton took up the new bur—
151-11. Some of her neighbors advised her
agiinSt it. and her minister seemed to
feel that she was taking too great a step,
perhaps, 11:11 Mrs. \l'alton smiled just a
little and did not turn from her purpose

Bertha found it rather difficult to kc-pc
1111 with her classcs. but, being 11 fav—
orite with her teachers because of her
earnest spit-it, she: received much help
after the school sessions and in the. ev—
citing, so she was con.cnted-even hap—
picr than before.

ller uncle made, many determined at-
1cmpts, to be of use, but the shock that
had impaired his mind had weakened
1.1.4 frame: he was appointed by Bertha
11,, the position of"‘G1111r1lian of' the lt‘1ow—
11's" and spent many happy hours among
1111- flower beds. There were days when
1111 was keenly conscious of 11111 stlrugg‘c
that Bertha. and Mrs. \Valton were hav-
1111-; to kccp their home. He spoke of 11
as they sat together one night.

“Alice, I see that I must be a big bur:-

where, I understand, the stateg”

“'l‘herc, thcrc, Peter.” Mrs “'alton
said, gently. “you stay with us as long
1.s vou live."

He srnilod happily. “One of thesc days
'1 shall reward you when a man pays me
what he owes me. lie—” The shadowy
darkness set upon his face and Bertha
hastcned to turn his attention to other
things.

Aftcr he had retired that night, moth—
er and daughter sat rogcthcr for a little
“Twilight Talk” as they called them.

“Mother,” Bertha said,
how he is always mentioning a man to
whom he loaned money? I wonder if it
is true?”

Her mother
“No,dearic, it isn't. You must remember
that his mind is not clear in such things.
I almost believed it though. so I wrote
to the lawyers and they said there was
110 record of any loan whatever. So it’s
just a drcam of his, t‘hat‘s all.”

“My! butt it’s strange,” Bertha said.
softly; “suppose it were true—that his
dream ship came in? \Vouldn’t he be
happy, though?”

111-r mother laughed at her wide eyeS.
and turned to her work.

A week later Mrs. IValton came 11101119
from the factory and when Bertha saw
her she. knew that there was bad news.
And bad 11<=ws it was; the factory man»
agers had decided to close the building

it did was 11 hard blow hut. smiling cheer—

when each was trying to cheer the Oth-

down to meet the. postman as was his
custom. She thought nothing of it—it
was part of his effort to be of use to
Zhen'H—untii she saw him start, open a
letter, read it, stagger a little and grip
his hcarl with a stcadying hand. Then
he came swiftly to the house. a wonder—

the. light ofhiiitelligence.

Quickly but quietly he entered 11111

sank into a chair and spread the letter
before them with trembling hands.
“Alice, something has happened—a veil

private kind and I did not enter it on

and Bertha gasped as she noted the
amount, but her mother had gone to
him. “Peter, is everything clear to you?”
she asked, almost in a tremble.

The “ESE Test”

You've seen this picture of the
watch in the cake of ice. It’s
the adjusted S O U T H B E N D
WATCH. Some of you have seen
the watch actually frozen in a.
cake of ice in a jeweler’s window,
keeping perfect time.

Well, a watch that will keep per-
fect time under such conditions is
a good watch.

The SOUTH BEND WATCH
is a wonderful watch in other
ways. It takes six months just to
make a “South Bend.” Another
six months is often spent in reg-

ulating it so it will pass the 700-

hour accuracy test, a test that

every adjusted South Bend

Watch must stand before it gets

the name, “South Bend.”

And the South Bend Watch
is sold differently than any
other American watch. It is
sold only through retail
jewelers. All otherwatches
can be bought by mail.
But every watch needs

an expert retail jeweler’s

“ 66111111]!

regulation. The watch you buy
should be regulated to your per-
sonality. The way yOu carry a.
watch affects it. An expert retail
jeweler can make the South Bend
Watch keep perfect time for you
because the “South Bend” is aper-
{eat watch. Ask your jeweler What
regulation means to a watch.

Read this letter from a jeweler
who sells South Bend Watches.
Then, write for free book, “How
Good Watches Are Made.” It
tells many interesting things about
watches that you will like to know.

Gentlemen:

That “Studebaker" No. 232 movement

here has never been more than one sec-
and wrong since July 2711111151. This op.

ern Union Lines every day and has com-
pared his watch every day since above
date with the result noted.

Yours very truly.

THE M‘ICHIGAN FARME-R.

OCT. 19, 1912.

 

 

 

Stop, Read and Think -

IGHT now is a time for some mighty

serious thinking—

——If you Farmers of America want to
keep the Prosperity you have—and add to it.

The big danger is over-confidence.

You have had a full meal of Prosperity.
Times are good. You are getting top prices.
The Farmers’ Home Market right at your
door takes practically all of your products.
You have no long shipments or losses in
reaching distant markets.

You’ve a right to feel contented.

But don’t forget about your next meal.
Don’t be caught napping.

Don’t get the idea that no matter who is
PI‘(‘Sl(lCDt‘~()I‘ what they do in \Vashington—
things will go on just the same.

They ll'on’tl

It’s a mighty short step and a mighty
hard fall from Good Times to Bad.

Panics and shut-down factories and tight
money don’t send word ahead of their com-
ing.

The sun goes down on a land of Fat and
Plenty and comes up on a Stricken lNation.

That’s history. And it’s not such ancient
history that you don’t remember 1t.

* * *

This is not calamity howling.

It is not crying “Wolf 1” when there is no
wolf.

It is just an earnest effort to warn you,
who represent the farming interests of
America, that your vote this November will
decide whether or not the value of your acres
and your crops will be kept up and increased.

Or whether they’ll go down with a slump.

This is written to tell you that the
“change” in administration the spellbinders
are asking you to vote for will mean a
change——

~And that change will mean quick and
sure disaster to all your interests. ‘

Ponder that over. And then let’s con-
sider the proof.
* * *

The campaign is well along.

The men who have a finger on public
feeling—~the men best able to judge in every
party—say—either publicly or privately——
that the fight has narrowed down to two
candidates——

President Taft and Professor Wilson.
One thing is certain——

A vote for the Third Term Candidate is a
vote for the Professor.

Please get that fixed in your mind.

Just as surely as your ballot goes in for
the Bull Moose ticket, it counts one more
vote for untried theories, and for the same
kind of business destruction—the actual
human want—that marked the last Demo-
cratic administration.

a: a: a:

No one would reflect upon the Democratic
candidate simply because he has looked
upon life for so many years through the
glasses of a college professor.

But as a presidential candidate, aspiring
to guard the business welfare of ninety
million people, with agricultural and indus-
trial interests running into billions upon
billions of dollars, Professor Wilson is simply
and absolutely unqualified.

The needs of this country are bread and
butter—not Greek and Latin—not Psy-
chology or Metaphysics——

We want results not theories.

 

And the people of this country would be
as unwise to put their trust in Professor
Wilson as you would be to turn the control
and management of your property over to
an inexperienced dreamer who never farmed
a day in his life.

_ Some physicians claim that they are
justified in cutting to pieces a living animal
—in the interest of science.

But—the people have a right to rebel
against Professor Wilson’s learning the
practical things of Government, by killing

American industry—cutting into its heart

to find out what made it beat!
* * *

It is actual history that best tells you
what happens to this country under a
Democratic administration.

Just remember back to the conditions
that existed during the Democratic period—
]893—1896—when an actual experiment of
Tariff for Revenue only was made.

Years of desperate hardship, loss, bank-
ruptcy, suicides and actual starvation,
years of anarchy and insurrectlon.

Years when banks, East, West, North
and South, closed their doors in the face of
thousands whose lifetime savings paid the
toll of Democratic rule.

Years when business house after business
house suspended, and fattened the ranks
of the unemployed.

Years when hundreds of thousands of
railroad men were discharged.

The three million workingmen-who were
idle from 1893 to 1897—not tramps or
hoodlums, mind you, but men deprived of
work—sustained a total loss in wages of
four and one-hat f billion dollars-—

Nearly one and one-half times the cost of
the Civil War!

And remember these were the very men
who 1n good times consumed the farmers’
products.

Figure the farmers’ share of this gigantic

loss.
* * *

Cobwebs formed on factory doors; mines
were closed. Wages out again and again.
Strikes and riots were of everyday occur-
rence. Prisons were full of men driven to
crime by desperate want.

Coxey’s and Kelly’s armies paraded the
land leaving a wake of terror.

Appeal after appeal was made to boards
of charity. They did all in their power,
but were forced to turn thousands of deserv-
ing hunger- and cold-stricken people away.

No one will know the fearful death toll
paid through the bitter winters and the
sweltering summers—the thousands of men,
women and little children who fought to
keep soul and body together and failed.

* * *

 

Those were heart-breaking years, and, in
God’s name, let us not have their like again.

Let us not plunge this happy, Prosperous
nation into another siege of financial ruin,
and paralyzed industry.

Your crops may be heavy—but what does
that gain you without a Home Market to
consume them?

What is your Profit if your grain is rotting
in the fields, your fruit littering the ground,
your live stock eating their heads off?

During the Democratic time of panic the
amount of wheat consumed per person in
this country fell to four bushels. It is now
six and a quarter bushels. We now consume

over three hundred million bushels more
every year than at that time. '

What advantage are big crops, when
bread lines are forming everywhere—when
free soup houses are supplying those who
formerly were able to buy your products?

Mr. Farmer, this is no fancy picture we
have drawn.

It is a photograph of the facts Professor
Wilson’s party would have you forget while
they lull you to sleep on the brink of a
precipice.

Don’t listen to the glib assurance, that
“It will be better next time.” It will not.

The same policy of letting down the bars
to foreign countries—of leaving unprotected
our industrial institutions—

—Of permitting other countries to ship
into America, duty free, cheaper prod—
ucts to compete With yours—

—That policy is the slogan of the Demo-
cratic party today—just as it was in those
days of famine and misery.

“Tariff for Revenue only” they demand.
For the Government’s revenue only.

But what about YOU?

* * *

The country has never known, during a
like period, a greater Prosperity than
during the administration of President Taft.

In 1909 there was a government financial
deficit of $58,735,000.

In 1911, there was a surplus of $47,234,000.

Which speaks volumes for the economy
and wisdom of Mr. Taft’s methods of
political housecleaning and compact organi-
zation.

In 1897 the value of all farm products
was four and one-half billion dollars, and in
1912, (estimated by U. S. Department of
Agriculture) the figures reach nearly eight
and one-half billions.

Farm land has doubled in value in the last
ten years—but the principal increase has
been during the Taft administration.

* * *

President Taft has protected Agricultural
interests by his veto of the dangerous Wool
and Sugar Bills.

But the greatest service his administration
has done to the farmer is the making and
maintaining of a Home Market.

 

National prosperity mills and factories
running full time, mines working extra shifts,
every man who is willing to work employed,
wages good-—

These things—built on confidence in Taft
and his policies are what create the farmer’s
home market and uphold his land values.

* * *

Just a last word——

You are going to the polls in November to
cast your vote.

There are three of the so-called leading
tickets.

But only two Presidential possibilities.

Are you—remembering the former dark
days of Democracy—going to risk your
future Prosperity upon a Theory that has
not been proved?

Or, are you going to grapple onto the good
times that you have—the safe, sane polities
that you have seen proved out?

Do you want a “change” for the mere sake
of a change?

Or the surety of protection for you and
yours for the next four years?

Charles D. Hilles, Chairman
James B. Reynolds, Secretary.

tanning, this leather is put
through a process which notions .

the fiber, and it is then t-hozouglp .

Wheat.»—Trade rules stronger than a
Week ago. The declaration or war be—

that the war zone was not stillieiently
large to close. the Ilardanelles which per—
mits ltussian wheat to be delivered to
western European points. The possibil-
ity, howevci, of this water course being
closed places dealers in an uneasy posi—
tion and no one wishes to sell himselt’
short tor tear that higher values would
have to be paid to stock up again. lie»
ccipts on this side have been hotvy, both
in the l‘nited States and Canada. Flour

a poor demand. The week's receipts were
ample tor tirese days of extremely high
pricts, but in other times they would
look very small and would bring about
sharp advances all along the line. \Vest—
cm range cattle comprised .1 good per-
centage. of the daily runs, and there was
too large a proportion of common to me—
dium glass-led natives, While he-avy sup—
plies ot‘ gl'assel‘s from the southwestern
pastures at Kansas City and other Mis-
souri Itiver markets caused the packers
to take an independent attitude. The
$106111 class 01' bn-wcs sold well (nough,
with no large ol“-'lt1ing s of the best class,
but1 cheap thin cattle, wtnt only at coni-
lJ'tratively low figures. the carcasses be-
ing placed in coolers for t'uture use. Na—
tive beef steers sold chictly at $70,110.15,
the commoner class of light—Weight grass-
crs fetching around $71.6I‘11’417..‘10 and the
best class of heavy becvcs going at $10.35
((111. Good lots sold at $0 and upwards,
and prime yearlings sold at the 1,051
prices ever 'ecmdcd, sales cmbiacing :17
head that 1ve1agcd 87‘: lbs. -1t $10110 and
20 that averaged 1.12:1 lbs. at $10,115.

Ilogs have. sold for a week past at the
highest prices recorded in over two years,
with only moderate receipts and a fresh
meat trade that used tip the great bulk
of the daily ()ffel‘ll'lgS. The pig trade
was remarkably active. and in a single
day pigs were advanced 256150c per 1110
tbs. Much of the week the average qual-
ity of the hogs offered was Inot very
good, and there were nowhere near
enough choice hogs to meet the demand
from local buyers and eastern shippers.
llccent receipts of hogs have averaged in
weight 225 lbs., or 10 lbs. less than a
tow weeks ago, comparing with an aver—
age of 201 lbs. one year ago, 261 lbs. two
years ago and 232 lbs. three years ago.

Sheop and lambs have continued to be
marketed liberally for still another week.
the Idaho, Montana and Nevada ranges
making heavy shipments, While large
shipments were also made from middle
western feeding districts. Low prices at
a time of unusually high prices for cattle
and hogs made a large outlet for live
muttons, while feeders were bought ex—
tensively, buyers taking not only range
lambs, hut aISo range yearlings and
sheep. Mutton lambs continued to sell
when choice in quality at a large pre—
mitun over yearlings and sheep, being
prime favorites with meat-eaters. Nu—
merous yearlings lacked killing quality,
anti some of them carried too much
weight. to make- them sell well to killers.
The only marked change in conditions
was a marking up of sheep to the extent
of 25615013, range {locks going up most.
Native lambs dropped 25((D50c, and range
lambs were off 10@15c. The premium on
lambs is still very large, however, sales
of inferior to prime lambs being made at
the close of the week at $4. 50@6 85, with
range feeding lambs going freely at $5. 50
@635 Yearlings sold at $4. 50@5. 25.
