AGRICULTURAL CLUBS IN THE RU-
RAL SCHOOL.

HE Aurand District Agricultural

I and Domestic Science Club, which

was organized January 2, 1912, in
reality began its work in the fall of 1910.
At this time the district board purchased
twelve silver maple trees for the im-
provement of the school grounds, when
the trees arrived the boys assisted in
setting them out. They dug the holes,
carried water, made frameworks for the
young trees and mulehed them. It could
be seen at once that they were interested
and the study of agriculture was accord-
ingly taken up. At first there was one
recitation period a week, this was on
Monday morning from 9:00 until 10:00
o’clock. Nature Studies on the Farm
was the text book used. It can be pur-
chased for about? forty cents. Many val-
uable suggestions were obtained from
Farmer’s Bulletin issued by the, I‘nited
States. Department of Agriculture. The
following ones were used: Boys and
Girls’ Agricultural Clubs, No. 385; School
LeSsons on Corn, N0. 409; The School
Garden, No. 218; The Potato as a Truck
Crop, No. 407; Tree Planting on Rural
School Gtrounds, No. 134., and ’l‘hirty
Poisonous Plants, No. 86. Any of these
bulletins may be obtained free by ad-
dressing the Secretarv nf Azrir-nihn-P. at
Washington, D. C.

Practical work was at once taken up.
The different kinds of soil, sand, clay
and loam, were obtained and placed in
jelly tumblers for future use. The boys
of the manual training class built trays
for testing corn and other seeds. These
trays when finished were about one and
one-half inches deep, 15 inches wide, and
23 inches; long. The trays were then di—
vided into small squares by a checker—
board lacing of twine across the top.
Kernels of corn were supplied to each
pupil and the different parts noted as
endosiierm, embryo, etc. Drawings were
made and topics pertaining to the work
assigned for language exercises.

The next fall (lull) it was decided to
make flower beds upon the school
grounds Two beds were set out, the
care of one being given to the girls and
the other to the boys. In these beds
Wtre set nearly 200 hyacinth and tulip
bulbs for spring blossoming. The bulbs
cost about $2 50, this
amount being taken
from premium money
won by the school at
the county fair. The
beds wore a great suc-
cess, blossoming pro-
fusely and the children
felt amply repaid for
their efforts. Just be,-
fore Christmas it was
decided to organize, an
agricultural club. Dur-
ing the holiday vaca-
tion the teacher had
cards printed as fol-
lows:

This is to Certify that

rand District Agricul—
tural (‘lub and eligible.
to compete for any
and all prizes offered by
the club.

................. Teacher.

On January 2, 1912.
the club was organized
and the cards given
out. The members
pledged to do the work
as outlined by the
teacher.

The purpose of the
club was to learn more
about common things
taught in the great book

of nature, and to train the heart, head,
and hands. The following was unani-
mously chosen by the class as a motto:
\Vork makes the man,
\Vant of it, the chump,
The man who wins
Takes hold, hangs on, and humps.
The cards seemed to give still more
enthusiasm to the work, although in the
heart of winter the members began to
nuke plans for their gardens. The fath-
er of one of the boys gave him a quarter
of an acre of land for his own use, at
the same time expressing the opinion
that, to his belief, it was one of the best
features ever introduced into the rural
school. This particular boy planted corn

sofa pillows. handkerchief bags, holders,
etc., from the sewing classes.

\\'as it a. success? Judge for yourself.
Thirteen first and two second .prizcs were
won, amounting to $18.75. But of greater
value than the prizes won was the satis-
faction of the members of the club who
(lid the work, and of the parents under
whose direct supervision the work had
been done.

along this line are welcome. at any period
of the year and especially at this season
when most farmers are, arranging for
buildings which they will construct next
summer.

There are a great many important
points to be considered in the building of
farm houses and burns- and a great deal
depends upon their arrangement. For
example, if a. shed is placed only 10 feet
farther away from another building than

is necessary, the feeder, in traversing
this distance three times a day and re-
turn will travel more than four miles a.
Year. Of course, at first this looks like
u very short distance but when the dis-
tance is doubled it looks larger and many
times outbuildings arc farther away than
that and at this period of the develop-
ment of agriculture, the man who can
do his work thoroughly with the least
expenditure of energy and time is con-
sidered the most economical.

It is important to have the arrange-
ment of buildings. follow the factory plan
as largely a» possible. That is, in the
factory the raw material goes in at one
end and the finished product comes out
at the other end. 'l‘rai.slated, it means
that the buildii gs should be so arranged
that when the farmer goes out to the
barn in the morning, he can do his chores
with the minimum amount of walking,
and handling of materials.

In general, the buildings should be
placed on the poorest land on the farm
and with proper regard to the wood lot,
hills, and natural drainage. In many
sections it the state. where land is worth
from $100 to $150 per acre, the saving
of an acre of good land would be very
important. On a great many farms, an
acre could have been saved for cultiva-
tion had the farm buildings been ar-
ranged properly.

If it, is possible, the house, should be
placed near the center of the farm with
due reference to the Water supply; but
if this is impossible, the house should be
placed on the side of the farm nearest
the town. school, or church. (in most
farms there are a Lcrcat many trips made
to any one of the HIHJVI' mentioned places,
and a shortening of the distance to. them
would mean a great saving of time in
a year. The house should be an least
100 feet from the highway. and if pos-
sible, on a slight elevation so that one
can see all parts of the. farm from it. It
is important that the house. should not
be too close ‘to the highway for the dust
that is stirred up on a hot day in sum-
mer, by travel, is considerable, and the
germs contained in the road dust are
anything but desirable when brought into
the kitchen and on the clothes which have
been hung out to dry. The dwelling
should be on an elevation but not on one
SO high that it is inaccessible with a load
or with heavy machin-
ery such as the thresh-
ing machine and hay-
balcr; and, on the other
hand, it should not be
in the. vallcty, for there
we find the en‘ly frosts,
lack of air, and the in-
jurious effects of spring
rains, often filling the
cellars with water.

The, garden s p o t
should be. nearby. Many
times the housekeeper
has to make a terip 0r
'U‘ilis to the garden each
day. \\'11en it is on the
rear of the farm. as is
often the case, it means
that she must waste her
time by needless walk-
ing, to say nothing of
tho psysical injuries
which she may get from
the carrying of heavy
burdens.

Generally, the out.-
hUiidingS, such as barns
and sheds, should be
Placed at least 150 feet
from the house and in
the opposite direction
from that in which the
prevailing winds come.
The reason for this is
obvious and one can
readily see that with

  


390 (2)

the barn placed in the proper direction
and at the indicated distance, he would
avoid :the noxious odors of the stables
which are found in some farmhouses.

The paddocks and barnyards for sum-
mer confinement should be placed on the
opposite side of the barn from the house
and a great amount of land can be saved
by the proper arrangement of these barn-
yards.

There are many other details to be
considered in the planning of individual
buildings, but the suggest-ions given above
will apply equally to all those which
should be likely to be found on the av—
erage farm.

SELECTION AND CARE OF SEED

CORN.

 

There seems to be quite a Variety of
ways of selecting corn for seed. Some
of the ways employed by some farmers
require too much time and unnecessary
labor, at least it seems so to me. Such
for instance, as selecting while huskiug,
by saving a few husks on the cars, and
then braiding thcm together to hang up.
This method may do for selecting a
small amount, or where the farmer does
the husking himself. But it is imprac-
ticable Whore the husking is hired done.

Another method of selecting the seed
from the wagon While unloading, takes
too mucl; time. I have always found it
to be a quick and good way to select
seed corn. to take a basket or baskets,
and pick out the corn as it lies on the
ground in piles in the field. before being
loaded in the wagon to be drawn to the
crib. By this method it is easy to see
what corn is suitable for sccd. I always
make it a point to solcct corn of a uni-
form color, with a goodly number of rows
on cat-h our and well filled out at each
end. By thus carefully seletcting my seed
each year, i have a corn that yields well
and maiuros curly. Although this has
been a brul and backward season, my
corn matured curly enough so that I
hztd it all cut up and in the shock before
‘lmro was any frost And at this date,
(it‘ltll‘vt‘l ill. have it l.i'.t!‘l_\ all husked and

. 1‘ last We have had a week of splen-
did weather, ideal wettlwr for doing
farm work, and we have made the most
of it. We got tho third crop of alfalfa

have practically got tho ensilage corn
cut and in tho silo. The ground was
hard enough so that the corn binder
worked successfully, and thv business

It is splendid weather at: the present
time for fall wheat. The very last sown

was put in earlier covers the ground, and
if this Weather continues we will have a.
splendid growth of fall wheat. It looks
now as if we might harvest our beets

done. If we can this season won‘t turn

In cementing a cellar bottom in clay

putting in sand between the cement and
the clay bottom since, if the drainage is
not good the sand would be saturated
with moisture and would not better the

cement should be used, say one part of
cement to three or four of sharp sand,
according to the quality of the sand.
This will make it more impervious to

Of course, many are advocating at the
present time, ground limestone rock be-
fore it is burned. This is a perfectly
safe product to use. It will not destroy
the humus in the soil, and it will pro—
duce the desired effect, but more slowly
than the hydrated lime. You have to
use more of it because it is impossible
to grind it fine as it ought to be to give
immediate effect, and only a small per
cent of it will give immediate effect, but
by amwlying larger applications at a time
one then doesn’t, have to lime his soil
as often as he would where he uses a
smaller amount of hydrated lime, and in
that way he will get just as good results.

THE VALUE OF “IMPORTED."
The use of imported animals in our
flocks, herds and studs is an evident rec-
ognition of the» British stockmzin’s emi-
nence as a. breeder. Indeed, the term

“imported" seems to be "surrounded in the
average mind with a sort of mystic charm

that may have, in a. measure, obscured

the standard of exccllcnceev attained on
this side. of the “water." If it be true
that our judgment is in danger of being
perverted to the extent of putting a. pre-
mium on such stock merely because of
the fact that it is imported, then we are
in danger of retrogression rather than
advancement. An altitude so irrational
would stamp us as imitators when we
should be the fashioncrs of our own des-
tiny. If we have been so fettered to cus-
tom then it is clear that we should assert
ourselves, and at once give due acknowl-
edgment to the intelligent and patient ef-
fort of our own stockmen.

A diacussion of the pros and cons will,
however, adduce some very suggestive
facts. In the first place, the high qual-
ity of British—bred stock is largely due
to continuity in breeding. It is not un-
common to find a farm on which a cer—
tain class of stock and a particular brccd
thereof has been bred without interrup—
tion, and with the same object in View,
for a century or more. For instance,

famous as brccdcrs of Shropshire sheep
have been breeding the same family on
the same farm, continually, for over 60
years, and others have been working
along similar lines for a much longer
period. The sires, therefore, possess a
rcmarkably high degree of prepotency
that enables them to uniformly impress
their offspring with the distinct and pe-
culior characteristics of thcir own breed.
Moreover, during the process of improve
ment cuch breed has, bcicomc naturally
adapted to the climate, food and environ-
ment of certain sections of the country
and thus acquired the ruggedness and
vigor of constitution so essential to ani-
mals hcp’ under the somewhat artificial
conditions of domestication.

Here, then, are some of the advantages
to be derived on this continent from the
use of selected imported stock. From
purity of blood we gct the ability to
transmit the desirable characteristics of
the diffcrcnt breeds. From a long con—

tinued specialized development we find
that typical representatives of these

broods will improve our stock in the par-

ticular specially characteristic of each,
whether it be mutton production in
sheep. bacon production in swine, ca-

pacity for speed or powcr in the horse,
or beef or milk production in cattle. Even
though as individuals Lhoy appear to be
no. bcttcr than our home-bred animal's,
an interchange of blood may serve a use-
ful purpose. They possess a robustness
of constitution and a development of bone
and frame: associated with their natural
adoption to cxierual conditions of climate
and treatmcnt, and when introduccd into
our own hci‘ds will frequently tend to in-
crease the size of the latter as wwll as
retain and oftem improve their quality.
But the biological principle involved is
{mother phasc of thc question that should
not be, overlooked. Therein lics the dan—
gm‘ of putting too much llcpcndcncc in
imported stock. It should be rcmembcr—
Cd that the desirable- churzicicrislics which
it is the objcct to havo transmitted, have
been dcvclopcd by artificial means and
are possibly more difficult ilo maintain
than to acquire. Improvement through
intelligent breeding and systematic se—
lection has bccn made possible by the
variation of the animal organism, under
the control of man. Further, this varia-
tion is directly influenced by changing
conditions of climate, food and habit and
the advance made can only be success-
fully retaincd under like conditions and
under similar treatment. Of course, it
is to be expected that in transporting
stock from one country to :inothcr there
will be some change in environment, but
if a judicious selcction is made it necd
not bc a marked one. It will be found,
however, that no very great change is
necessary to disturb the eequilibrium of
the organism sufficient to cause more or
less of a. modification in the form and
character of the offspring. As a. matter
of fact, this principle of natural adaption
has effected some very distinct modifica-
tions in imported breeds; an instance.
being the contrast presented in the Si.
Lambert and the Island type of Jersey.

It is the desire of every true breeder
to imprOve his stock and the way in
which he can accomplish this quickest
and best is the method to pursue. At
one time imported animals were a neces-
sity and we honor the enterprise of those
who brought them here. But now, might
we not make greater progress if we im-
ported lees and bred better? Many of
our best breeders are building up fount-
ain—heads of improved stock from which
we can draw the blood that will best suit
our purpose. And then we must special-
izc. It is much better to breed one class
of horses, cattle, shecp and swine in a.
district than to have a dozen of each.
The live stock of Great Britain have be-
come famous because this course is prac-
ticed. In Hcll‘ecfordshire you will find
little else but Hercfords; in Shropshire
little else but Shropshires; in the dairy
districts of Scotland Ayrshircs, and so
on throughout the whole country.
ford breeders in America. have won an
enviable reputation as the result of their
independence and resourcefulness. “70
have the men and I believe the stock-
-the necessary combination for so im—
portant an undertaking. Can we not,
therefore, mould and fashion animal form
into a pure American product. This does
not mean that I favor the evolutiOn of
new breeds; we probablv lllec too many
already. The point is this: Is it pos—
sible by care-ful selection to so improve
our existing brecds with little, if any,
resorting to llYi}"(ll'l{lll()llS, that they will
be a monument to the energy and intel-
ligence of our own brccders, and a factor
in establishing the rcputalion of New
\Vorld stock?

FEEDERS’ PROBLEMS.

Are Smutty Oats Poisonous?

Are smutiy oziis poisonous to stock
and if so can ihl-y be tre-aicd so they
will be harmless to feed? My oats are
very smutty this year and I am afraid
to feed them, as l have heard they are
liable. to cuusc trouble.

L. B.

Allegan Co.

Cases have been reported where fatal
poisoning of r . hu, occurred from the
caring of smutted grass or sniutty oats.
Erpeiimciits with such material, how—
evi, w'licn conducted with a view of de-
tcrmiiiing this point, have usually been
of an unsatisfactory 0r contradictory na-
lure and nothing (icfinllo- may be said on
the subject at present which can be
backed up by experimental data. Smut-
iy oats should not be fed to horses at
least, because of tlic duiigcr of inducing

respiralmy iroublcs which would injure
the horse's usefulness. In modcm‘ic
quantities, fcd with Olllel‘ grains, how-

ever, present lillO\\'li‘(lgO on the subjcci
would not indicate that the oats would
be a dungci-ous fced. in fact, it is not
at‘ all certain that reported cases of
poisoning from smutted grain are due t0
that cause.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Large ‘shccp range interests are hold-
ing on to their breeding ewes, and they
zirc retaining most of their yearlings, ex-
ti'cmely few well—bred ycarlings having
been markcied this year compared with
former years. Only a. short time ago one
of the large ruiich concerns in ldali'b
turned down an. offer from :1 ncighboring
sliccpman to purchase: for $6 per 100 lbs.
1,000 bond of young.~ cWQS, to be iakcii us
they run out. The supply is understood
to be smaller than usual, and only two
small Ilocks of ycurlings wcrc sliorii in
the spring lll lllc Mountain Home district
of Idaho, wlicrc. from 30,000 to 50,000 bold
are usually winicrcd. A rcceni report
from the Twin Falls tract suites that 240,—
000 breeding ewes will be wiiitcrcd there,
with iilfuli'n hay costing $3.50 per ton.
It is stated that Idaho has shipped its
last sheep and lambs for the ycar.

The recent sharp advunccs in prices
for lch millions, including lambs, sheep
and fat ycarliiigs, in the Chicago market
here due to the sudden great, falling off
in offerings of flocks from the western
ranges. Owners of flocks in the middle
wcsi will have from now on much beitcr
opportunities for marketing Ihcir well
t‘ziitcned lambs and sheep at much higher
prices than they have been in the habit
of accepting for some wccks past. The
scaeon has been a rarely exceptional one

in respect to the grading of the range
Ilocks, owners having taken advantage

of the unusual abundance of grass and

wnicr to finish off thcir holdings much
bettcr than ln former years. This has

made :1 much smaller pcrcentagc of feed-
ers among the markciiiigs and forced
shecpmcn in search of such flecks to pay
high Dl‘lCOS.

. There havo been sharp recent advances
in the Chicago market prices for dairy
products, because of greatly lessened re—
ceipts of such goods as butter, cheese and
eggs, and further upward movements are
expected, the. smaller supplies! having
caused owners to withdraw a good many
lines from the cold storage warehouses.
Eggs have risen to the highest prices
touched since last April, while butter

prices are the highest seen in several
months.

PRACTICAL SCIENCE. _

THE PRACTICABILITY OF SCIENCE.
BY FLOYD W. ROBISON.

The reader who may have followed the
articles during the preceding year will
observe that we have attempted to fur—
nish classified information in readable
form, beginning with the origin and for-
mation of soil, following up through
plant and animal nutrition, in such a
way that there would be some tangible
information which would reinforce him
in his general reading of the popular
scientific literature of the day. Our ob-
ject in this has been to furnish him with
fundamental facts regarding the plants
and animals which would enable him to
conduct his own work With far grcateq-
regard for fact than he otherwise might
have been able to do. Not only is this
true. but in the abundance of literature
which is found in thc agricultural pres‘s,
referring nor, only to Soils but to plant
life and animal husbandry, there is an
amount of information which
is untrue and which it is not possible to
adapt to practical conditions on the farm.

\V‘e have attempted to reinforce the
reader so that he would be in bettcr
condition to pick out the good from the
bad and thus classify the information at
his command. In carrying on this serirs
of articles we appreciate that the person
who can point out: some line of under-
taking which is profitable, is appealing
forcefully to the reader and many of our
writcrs and public speakers have spent
their time and cnergies in directing farm-
ers along lilies of ncw venture and sug—
gesting new principles to govern their
Various operations. So much has thus
been done that has lH‘Cll fascinating and
attractive for the. timc, but which it has
been necessary to cast aside as imprac—
tical when the- test of experiment has
been put to it upon the farm.

This department is a department in
which truth and facts arc aimed at re-
gardless of whether they build up or
throw down, for we believe that we have
performed a valuable service to the
farmer if we can prevent him from
spemling». money and effort on a worth-
less enterprise, as surely as if we direct-
ed his efforts to a proposition that was
paying. '\Vith those two main points in
view we have strivcn, and arc, striving,
to present the. modern research of science
in a truthful and conservative way, to
the farmer.

Before taking up the study of the prin-
ciplcs of human nutrition, let us
in considcration. briefly, of the contribu-
tions of science to our everyday life, and
welfare.

History of Science.

The history of the development of
science is in reality the history or record
of the progress of the human racc to-
ward perfect freedom from the en‘slaving
chains of superstition and vice. The
early periods of human cxistence insofar
as we have records, Were periods of
superstition and the masscs of humanity
were swayed and controlled by those
superstitions. Yet even among thc rcc—
ords of those times there were thinkers
whosc minds we're continually active ill
the interests of their fellows. \Vc are
building today with some of thc stones
hewn for us by the thinkers of
times. Tlfll which is of merit,
and the highway upon which
traveled from the degradation
life to tho hights of t'wcntieth
enlightenment is ever and anon

hated by the scientific contributions of
great men and chp thinkers.
The world stands transfixed by the

power of the human mind and during all
the flamc of human lib—
erty was flickering and the friends of
liberty and tolcration held thcir breath
lest that flame be. extinguished, the minds
of scientists were shaping and molding
into form and trying in the. fiery crucible
of scientific inquisition the rock bottom
principles which arc now firmly imbedded
in the eternal structure which sciencc is
building.

Scientific Progress

Science is not in harmony with haste

goal of perfect

solution of any of life’s problems. Nor
are the names of great scientists, such
as 'Plato, Aristotle, Archimedes. Gay

Lus’sac, Dalton, Darwin, Van Hoff. Pas-
teur, and others, to be idolized because

of their contributions in themselves to
science. Their triumph is great, but the
efforts of these men were but the crown-
ing cap of the edifice which had been
roared before them. How clearly Paul
realized this great truth. Speaking of
the prophets he said, “These: are they
who died. in faith, not having received
the promise but having seen it afar off,
God having provided something better
for us that they, through us, should be
made perfect.”
Where the Credit Belongs.

Darwin’s name has been almost a
household Word and now, more than a
century from his birth, we ext'oll his re-
markable achievements and revcre his
name and accept, in the main, his doc-
trine, yet there were others before Dar-
win without whom Darwin could not
have achieved success.

Likewise with Dalton and Gay Lussac,
and oven Pasteur.

Great men and public thinkers have
spent their lives to wrest from nature
heir secrets for the benefit of all man—
kind, and mankind has known them not.
“Full many a flower is born to blush un-
seen and waste its sweetncss on the dos-
ert air,” content to form part of nature’s
great plan in the, subduing of the world
and prcparing a place for the existence
of a crowning race. Darwin's. name is
familiar to all because his scientific stud-
ics have come directly in contact with
lit'c and he has popularized the work per-
formed before him by many other de-
vout thiukcrs whose names the world
docs not even know.

Pasteur has put the finishing touches
to a line of investigation that has pro-
mulgated a. much clearer understanding
of the behavior of nature and has unfold-
cd to the world in general the intricate
workings of the undcrworld of bacteria,
the existence of which people in general
little dreamed of. \Ve concede without
question the greatncss of Pasteur, and we
are proud of his contributions to science,
yet we know that he has achieved re-
nown upon the life work of others whose
devotion to science has made his work
possible. In paying homage to‘ such. a
man it will he no discredit to him if we
how our heads at the same time rever-
cntly in appreciation of the efforts of the
unknown workers who have gone before
him.

The Dignity of Sciences.

Little do we realize the extent to which
scicnce has permeated our everyday life
and to what extent, likewise, we are de-
pendent upon science for the enoyment
of the privileges we now cnjoy, and, in-
dced, for the safety that has been thrown
around our everyday existencc. It is
science that said to the Black Plague,
when it appeared at the: port of New
York: “Thou shalt not enter." It is
science that said to the yellow fever
when it appeared at New Orleans, “Thus

far hast thou come, but farther thou
shalt not go.” It is science that has
drained the marshes of our beautiful

Michigan and made it one of thc most
healthful and bcautif’ul states in the
l'nion. it is science that. turned the
flood gates of the rivers of the waste

deserts of our wcstern states and made
those deserts as fair as the garden of
thc Lord. It is science that has given us
our most modern conception of the- ac-
tiv1ties of life. To the biologist in his
laboratory the language of nature is plain
and she speaks to him her secrets of cell
function and nutrition. lie places upon
the stage of his microscope a. drop of
watcr from a stagnant pool and with the
finder selects one of the amoeba, or sin-
animals for his observations.
The main physiological functions which
are prcscnt in the human organism are
there present in this single—celled organ-

glc-ccllcd

ism but it is more. restricted in its en-
vironment. The tiny cell moves along
and comes in contact with a morsol )f
food, remains in contact with it for an
instant and begins the function of ab-
sorption. It then passes on to another
morscl, remains in contact with it and
bounds aWay, rejecting the: last morsel
which, in one way or another, has not

been congenial to it. Here is an organ-
ism extremely limited in its environment,
without sense as exhibited by the higher
animals, yet exercising all the functions
of selection and rejection for which con-
scious beings are noted.
Science is Practical.

THE NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW.

The Seventh Annual National Dairy
Show opened at Chicago, on October 24.
The national character was never more
plainly evident than this year, the 46
herds shown representing states from
Massachusetts to Washington. The ex-
hibits of dairy machinery have never been
surpassed. It is especially gratifying to
see machinery not only on show but in
actual operation, not as models but‘on a.
commercial scale.

Demonstrations of pasteurization and
bottling were given daily by the Bordens
in which several hundred quarts of milk
were prepared for the regular trade. On
account of recent health board rulings,
this subject of pasteurization is receiving
more attention than ever before and
large crowds watched the demonstration
daily. A prominent creamery com-
pany operated a model creamery, churn—
ing three times a day. A stand was
placed to the rear of 'the creamei‘y so
that the entire operation, from the ripen-
ing of the cream to the final wrapping of
the butter, could be watched by the spec-
tators. Daily demonstrations (.f the iner-
its of various milking machines were giv—
en. and the same method of seating was
followed. A vacuum device for cleaning
the cows is in actual use: in the stables
each day and if the appearance ofvihe
animals is any indication of its merits,
it is a valuable device in the high-class

 

dairy.
The arrangement of the exhibits dc-
sei'vcs especial comment. All are Well

placed and arranged in such a way that,
they may be seen by the visitor with a.
minimum of trouble. The amphitheater
is in good condition and the adding of a
covered alleyway to another barn across
the: street will do much to help 'the iii-
tcriiational Live Stock Show to be held
in the same building the latter part of
the month.

A new feature was institulted this year
in the' form of five herdsmeii's prizes to
be- :iwai'ded to the various herdsmen. This
incentive has done a great deal to add

to the appearance and general neatness
of the stables. The prizes are awarded
on the basis of condition and cleanliness
of herd, courtesy and deportnient of ilhe
hcrdsman mid aticndants, neatness in
keeping feed and bunks, cleanliness in
stalls and alloys, decorations and attrac-
tiveness of the- stablc. pi‘omptness in get-
ting animals in the parade and into the
show ring. The idea. of awarding prizes
to the herdsmcn is excellent for much
depends on the work of this man. Who
seldom becomes known. In the Student’s’
Judging Contest on Friday the effect of
these prizes was demonstrated.

The contest of this your was the larg~
est ever known in the history of the
show, 14 colleges sc-nding iteams of l‘lll'Ce
men ezich. Olle mun from each ins-litu-
tion is placed in a section, this making
three sections of 14 men each. Fcom the
beginning of the contest until the close
at hourly six in the, evening the men are
not allowed to communicate. They are
rated 50 per ceiiit on their pincings and
50 per cent on their rel-mops. Each slu—
de-iiil had two rings cach ol‘ Jerseys, Hol-
sieins and Gueriiscys and one ring. of
Ayrsliiro cows. Dr l{il\\'l, of tho lilll'i‘illl
of Animal Industry. had charge of the
contest, while (i. l’. Grout, of Duluth,
Minn, G. A. Bell, of Washington, D. C..
and \Vill Forbes, of the dairy division of
the Bureau of Animal Industry were the

judges.
Among the- inceiings being held during
the 'slioii' are: The International Milk

Deniers” Association; the Commission on
Milk Standards; the American Guernsey
Cattle Club; the American Dairy li‘urni—
ers’ Association; the Amcrifln .loi'scy
Cattle Club: the lllinois Association of
Farm Press Editors; the Conference of
Dairy Cwitlc Judges; the Holstein—Fries-
inn Associaiion 21ml a huge. number of
others. ’i‘lic benefits o“d advantages from
holding meetings of such associations in
connection with large shows are begin—
ning to be realized.

Another feature that is attracting much
attention is ithe showing of milk and but-
te-r delivery horses to wagons. Two
classes are judged in the arena each
night and the applause- u'hen the finzil
ribbons were awarded shows the growing
popularity of the contests. In the milk
deliVery classes 'the drivers are required
to drop 01f bottles at various stations on
the route as well as to pick up cases of

 

milk and the training of the animals in
stopping and starting was..»often the de—
ciding factor in awarding the prizes.'

'There were 'two parades each evening.
These, together with the showing of de-
livery wagon horses, a. band, a dairy
maids’ sextette, athletic contests and
some really good singers, served to hold
a large crowd in the great arena. As a.
fitting finale to the evening’s entertain-
ment. the calves in the various herds are
allowed to run loose and frolic in the
arena.

The Cattlei

After all is said, it is upon the cattle
themselves that. the life of the show de-
pends. The city visitor wonders at the
machinery, absorbs some of the benefits
of the educational exhibits but When he
reaches the cattle stalls a different feel-
ing possesses him. The new out of town
visitor stands by and singles out the
merits of the various animals while the
fascination to the old timer is never end-
ing.

As was anticipated, the Show at Mil-
waukee attracted a. number of herds that
have been exhibiting at the National
Dairy Show and accmding to breeders, ithe
Vi'aterloo, Iowa, show was the big one
of the year in point of numbers. After
it ended the herds split, those of poorer
rating going to Milwaukee in spite of a
chance for the reversal of decisions by
new judges. But in spite of the fact.
some 700 cattle of the best individual
merit and the bluest blood in the country
fill the stalls. With the exception of the
Ayr‘shires. represented by tw0 herds, the
number of entries compares well in all
clzisses w-iith the show of last year. Ac-
cording to Supt. Irwin, the quality is bet—
ter in all breeds and classes. Vi’ith this
show as the grand finale of the circuit.
the cattle are in the pink of condition
and in addition to the great individual
showing represent the finest lot of dairy
cattle ever assembled on the continent.

This year, the breeds are- grouped and
all are housed together in a. large build-_
iiig adjoining and connected with the
arena. by means of a wide and easy in-
cline. 'l‘lic quarters have especially good
light, are Well ventilated, provided with
dry, sanitary stalls and excellent facili-
ties for washing. The breeders pronounce
them the best ever provided for them.
The aisles are decorated in a pleasing
manner. The breed associations have
their quarters in the same building.

The Guernseys lead from every stand-
point. ‘Rreeders pronounce the 215 head
on exhibition the best lot ever gotten to-
gether. M. H. Tichenvor, of Wisconsin,
the owner of Dolly Dimple, has a. most
formidable array. IV. \V. Marsh. of Iowa,
is showing (ilcmcoci's Bopeep, ISL at VVat-
erloo, and Dairy Maid of Pinehursi. win-
ner of the Iowa Dairy Cow Contest. F.
L. Amos, of Mnss‘ichusetts, hu's some 32
liker ones on hand that must be reck-
oned with. Charles Hill, of Wisconsin,
is another strong bidder for honors.

The Holsteiiis loom up strong with 175
animals in tho stalls representing eight
herds. The Jerseys come next with 14
herds, aggregating 1:30 head. Elmendorf
Farms have an exhibit. The herds of
Adam Sictz, of “’i>‘»coiisiii, and Barclay
Farms, of Pennsylvania. with a total of
some 75 held represent Ayrshire-s. There
are two llt‘Il‘ilS of Brown Swiss. E. J.
Kirby, of Michigan. and L. M. Strader
of California. represent his Dutch Bel‘ed
'l‘wo Invlllli'lllflll‘t‘R, Howard Gould and .7218.
ilugin, are each showing Lt few of poor
lrishmen’s cowsv4the diminutive Dexter‘s
receive much attention.

One of the new improvements about
the yards is the new Stock Yards Inn,
just facing the International Amphithea-
icr, built by the Union Stock Yards &
Transit Co., at a cost of $250,000. It is
of brick. in the old English style of ar-
chitecture with Illfllly-gllbled roofs and
dormer windows. It is a handsome
structure with 17:? rooms. It is pleasing
to note that the Stock Yards Company
has seen fit to erect such a structure for
the import. of visiting stockmen.

(C'oniinucd next week).

The practice upon many dairy farms
of rejecting the fore-milk by running it
upon the floor of ihe stable is not pro—
ductive of the good that it is customarily
thought to accomplish. To be sure this
milk contains a much higher content of
bacteria than the after-milk and its re-
moval takes from the pull a considerable
number of the micro-organisms: but the
Volume of this fore-milk is SO small,
compared with the total bulk of the
milking, when the COWS are giving an
average “mess,” tha the bacteria in the
bulk is not sensibly increased. The prac-
tice is not to be condemned, in fact, it is
to be recommended, but the dairymen
should not expect any pronounced re.
sults frOm it. It is one of a score of
small things which, wlorked ‘toge'ther,
result in a superior quality of milk.

MILK FEVER.

 

We just recently had a case of milk
fever at Lillie Farmstead. This same
cow had milk fever last year. Other
than this we have had no cases of milk
fever for several years. In fact,’ this
dread disease which used to be so fatal
and carry off so many of our best cows
has ceased to cause us very much anx—

iety. The reason why we have had an
cases of milk fever in recent years, I
think, is due almost entirely to our meth-

od of preventing it. This disease has not
been understood even by the most learn-
ed veterinarians. In fact. it is scarcely
understood at the present time. But we
do know, or think we do, at least, that
it comes because the cow is relieved of
all the milk in her udder soon after calv—
ing, and by being very careful not to milk
the cow out clean for the first two days

almost sure to die. Now, however, if
the non—removal of the milk from the
udder does not prevent the disease the
inflation of the udder with air if taken in
proper time is practically certain to bring
relief and save the cow.

Several years ago the only preventa-
tive we knew for milk fever was to starve
the cow to keep her from getting in a
lethargic condition before she freshened.
People were advised formerly by vet-
erinarians to take the grain all away
from the cow, giVe her nothing but dry
hay, scrimp her in feed so that she was
actually thin in flesh before she came ill.
Then she was not very liable to have
milk fever. But, this manner of treat-
ment would not produce the best results
from a dairy standpoint. A cow in poor
condition when she freshened will not
give, as much milk, she will not produce
butter-fat economically, She isn't in con-
dition to do so, and yet a live cow that
Would do fairly well was much better

 

Silo-Filling. a Common Job

an cvcepticnally vigorous calf and. it gets
up and nurses too much the first thing.
This, I think, is largely the trouble with
our present case of milk chor. Then
again, a cow having had milk fevcr once,
is more susceptible to it the next time

she fresheus. In both cases, however,
we have succeeded in bringing the cow
through in good shape. Both times we

sent for a veterinarian because our air
pumps were outi of commission and also
because the boss was away from home.
In both instances the veterinarian came
and forced sterilized air into the udder,
gave a little tonic, and the cow came
out in good shape.

There is certainly a peculiar thing
about this dread disease, and no one can
understand it. The reason why removing
all the milk from the udder of the cow
at one time so soon after calving caused
parturient apoplexy or milk fever can
hardly be explained, and yet that seems
to be the direct cause of it, and when
the udder is inflated with air to bring
about the original pressure caused by the
full udder then the cow is relieved, and
sometimes the relief is immediate. The
cow is relieved so that she gets upon her
feet and acts apparently well in a very

short time. Some cases, howcver, are
more persistent, and the cow does not

get up for several hours. In this particu-
lar instance the cow Was up in five or
six hours, and in two days she was ap-
parently in normal condition.

We. haven’t lost a case of milk fever
since the air treatment was discovered.
Before that time it was nothing uncom—
“Hill to lose one or two cows each year.

I think then, however, that if we had
known about not removing all of the
milk from the udder at one time soon
after calving that we could have pre—

vented a large share» of the losscs which
\‘Vo formerly had, even with the old
treatment, because we now prevent it

by not milking out what the calf did not
take. The rcsult of milking the cows out

clean at freshening time was that every
year some of our bcst cows had milk
fever. \Viih the old treatmcnt a large

per cent of them dicd. Then, by discov-
cring that if we would only milk out a
little of the milk night and morning until
the. third day the cows didn‘t have. milk
fcvcr, and besides that the discovering
of the air treatment of inflating the lid-
(ltr in case they did have it has removed
almost entirely the horrors and the mor—
tality of this dread disease. This dis—
covery of the idea of inflating the udder
has been worth untold money to the
(lairymcn of this country. Before that
the loss from milk fever was something
astonishing and it always took the best
cows. The poor cows and the young
helt’g'r rarely, if ever, had milk fever. It

than a dca.l one. Now, however, when
we feel safe upon this question of milk
It'ever we can feed the cows 3. grain ra-
tion before they freshen and keep them
in good condition, and there is practically
no danger of loss from this disease in
the handling of a good dairy cow.
COST OF PRODUCING MILK.

An investigation made last year by
the dairy department of the College of
Agriculture. Ohio State University, shows
that the average cost of producilg a
gallon of milk in Ohio is about 25 cents,
or (5.25 cents per quart, allowing 3,200
pounds per cow per year as the average
milk production. This lakcs into coll-
sideration the cost of feeds, labor, inter-
est on investment, maintenance, insur-
ance, taxes, etc. When 'the average
milk production per cow is increascd the,
cost per quart is decreased. The average
cost of distribution is 31/‘2 cents per
quart, making autotal of 9.75 cents per
quart as the cost of producing milk and
delivering it to the consumer. This means
that when milk retails at 10 cents a
quart, the average producer and distrib—
utor is making little or no profit in the
transaction. thcre high producing cons
are kept and economic methods of hand—
linga nd distributing on a large scale are
c'mployed, the above figures are greatly
reduced and there is a fair profit in the.
dairy business. However, it is the av-
crage producer, who keeps average cows,
the rapidly increasing cost of feeds and
labor and the. greater demand for sani-
tary conditions that are contributing to
the high price of milk.

 

ECONOMY OF DAIRY COW.

more. economical
producer of human food than the steer.
Lawcs and lilbert have calculated that
:1. fattening steer which gains 17: lbs. in
weight oer week yields 1.13 lbs. of nitro-

Thc dairy cow is a

gcnous substance, 953 lbs. of fat and
.22 lbs. of mineral matter, or 10.88 lbs.

of total solid matter. A dairy cow giv-
ing 10 (Its. of milk per day yiclds 6.60
lbs. of nitrogenous substance, 6.33 lbs. of
fat, 8.32 lbs. of nitrogenous substances
not fat and 1.35 lbs. of mineral matter,
or 22 60 lbs. of solid matter. Thus, it
will be seen. the cow giving an average
quantity of milk will yield more than
twice lhc total solid matter that the
steer yielded. Several years ago it was
determined by the Ohio Station that a
cow will produce a pound of butter-fat
with the same quantity of feed that a
steer will require to produce three lbs.
of flesh. For further evidence of the
economical qualities of the dairy cow
note the tendency of feeding to decrease
and dairying to increase on high-priced
land.

CARE OF DUCKS lN WINTER.

 

 

 

 

wintering ducks this year for the first
time, and therefore desire to avoid mis-
takes” that. nearly all amateurs make.
Ducks should have a. good, comfortable
house to stay in at night, and also dur-
ing cold, disagreeable days.

“'9 keep our ducks in houses built es-
pecially for the purpose. However, al-
most any ordinary house or shed can be

Dense, provided it has never been occu-
pied by other poultry and is free of ver-
min. Ducks are very timid and should
never be kept with other poultry. es-
pecially chickens. They thrive better in
a house by themselves. Noise, such as
the cackling of hens. will keep a flock of
ducks in a state of nervousness.

If new houses are to be built they
should be made substantial, so that they
can be used for the purpose several years
in succession. If they are properly built
they will be suitable for either old or
young ducks. As a rule, no shelter is
necessary for old ducks during the sum-
mer or early fall months, except in wet
weather. Ducks sit on the ground when
our of doors, and if it is cold or damp
they are apt to suffer from cramps or
develop colds and roup.

Ou1 house, uhich is 20x40 feet, is huge
enough for anywhele from 50 to 200
ducks, according to age and Variety.
This house is built with a shed roof. It
is about 10 feet high in front and five
feet at the back. There are four doors
and four windows, and the floor space is
divided into four compartments. The
pantitions are just high enough to keep
the old ducks from flying over. They
cannot lly very high. No roosts or nest
boxes are required, but they need plenty
ol‘ straw or litter 011i'tl1e floor to“roost"
upon. This litter should be renewed fre-
quently. Sawdust is not a suitable lloor
covering, because the ducks are liable
to eat it.

Where large numbers are kept, feed—
ing racks are almost a necessity. They
are not difficult to construct and will
save a great deal of feed, or rather. will
prevent itl being mussed over by the
fowls. Feed placed in a feeding-rack is
sure to be cleaner than that placed where
the ducks can paddle over it with their
feet. This rack is built as follows: Take
two pieces of scantling, heavy enough to
be quite substantial. of a. suitable- length;
also, t‘wo short pieces for the ends of
the frame. The trough is nothing more
nor less than a heard about 10 inches
wide with narrow strips nailed aloug the
edges. The frame is used for the top of
the rack, which is made on the same
plan as an ordinary sheep—rack. ' Slat's
are about three inches wide and 18 inches

inches apart. The slats are nailed se-
curely to the frame at the top and at
the lower end they are nailed to the
edges of the trough. “'9 then place this
trough, rack and all. «m blocks about six
inches high. This raises the top of the
rack to about two feet from the lloor.
The ducks will not try to fly over this.
The feed can be evenly distributed along
the trough. so that the fowls can reach
it from either side.

These rack-troughs can be used either

in the house or outside. In winter. we
feed in the house. Ducks cannot endure
much enld. Their feet suffer greatly
when they have to walk through snow,
unless the weather is mild. However, it
is best to keep ducks out of snow and
off frozen ground if eggs are wanted
when prices are high and hen’s eggs are
scarce, or if one expects them to lay
well early in the spring when eggs are
wanted for hatching.
A comfortable house and good care
will give the same results with ducks as
with chickens. indeed, we find that a
duck will respond to good (treatment
even more quickly than a hen. This is
especially true of the Indian Runner.
With proper care these- ducks will begin
laying early in the fall and continue until
the following summer. Then they take
a few weeks’ rest and grow a new coat
of feathers. When they stop laying they
may be picked, if one wants to save the
feathers, but we never pick our layers.
They are allowed t‘o moult at leisure. Old
and young are kept separate unt-il the
latter are matured. or nearly so. as
young ducks thrive better alone than
when kept with the old ones.

SAN JOSE SCALE IN THE FALL.

 

 

 

 

San Jose scale is undoubtedly one of
the two most serious orchard insects that
we have to contend with in Michigan at
present. Already it has killed thousands
of acres of fine apple orchards and has
so badly injured hundreds of others that
they will not last long. Not only has it
proven one of the worst orchard insects
but it has also done incalculable injury
to the numerous beautiful fruit trees
formerly found in our city and village
yards and it has also attacked many of
our ornamental shrubs and made barren
nnny yards that were once the pride of
their owners, and it still spreads from
tree to tree, from orchard to orchard,
from community to community, and even
into new and remote sections where it
has not been dreaded before. In the last
case it is carried on nursery stock and
before the unsuspecting orchardist knows
he has it, many of his trees are dead or
dying and the dreaded pest has gained a
foothold in his neighbor’s orchard or
shrubbery.

For a. number of years various spray
mixtures have been in use in the fight to
save the orchards of this state and other
states, and several of them have given
partial satisfaction. The oil sprays killed
the scale all right, but frequently killed
the trees also. Lime-sulphur solutions
have proven the most satisfactory be—
cause they are cheap, efficient, and if
used properly do no harm to the trees or
shrubs. Commcrcial lime-sulphur has
largely taken precedence over the old
home—made solution, because of the con-
venience of its use.

Many fruit growers have complained
that they could not control scale with
the commercial solution of lime-sulphur
or the home—made concentrated solution,
but an inquiry into the cases invariably
rcvcals the fact that the spray illal'C‘I‘lrll
was not made strong enough or was not
thoroughly applied, or for both reasons
combined. If a standard guaraiitecd
brand of commercial limo-sulphur is used
in the: proportion of 1 gal. to 71/3 to 8 gals.
of water and the bark of the tree or
shrub absolutely covered, every scale
will be ”killed“ But it is a very ditllcult
thing to completely cover every particle
of the bark, especially in tho high tops
of old apple trees or in the thick bunches
of shrubbcry alongside of a. house; in
fact, it is so difficult to do, and so sel—
dom done, that where scale once gets a
hold it is most sure to stay. it, cannot
Lc entirely gottcn rid of. \Vlicn scale
once gets into an orchard, its owner
might as well realize that if he cxpccts
to keep his trcvcs healthy and bearing,
he has one annual job at least to per-
foi'ni, and that job is “spraying for scale
in the spring."

Many times it is suggested and recom-
mended by orchai‘dists and spray manu—
facturing concerns, that. fall spraying
Would be. bcttcr than winter or early
spring spraying, btit cxpcricncc in this
state has provcn that spraying with
strong lime-sulphur in the spring as late

as possible before the buds start, is the,

host. 'l‘lie scales are more easily killed
afttr having submitted to the cold of the
winter. Spring sprayingr is pi‘cfci‘able also
because its inilucncc as a fungicide for
scab, cankcr, curl leaf, black knot, rots,
etc., is much more valuable than that of
tall spraying.

However, fall spraying should not be
cntn'cly discouraged, espccially in ex-
trcmcly bad cases of scale, when both a
tall and spring spraying would undoubt—
edly bc a wise procedure for thc first
year and after that one. taliorough spray-
int: in ”10 early spring should be suil‘i-
ciciit to keep the scale in control.

MISTAKES IN CONDUCTING SPRAY-
ING OPERATIONS THIS YEAR.

It has been said that it is through our
mistakes that we progress. So it is miss-
takes that I am going to Write about. I
hate to make mistakes and many time‘s
I hate to acknowledge them, but I have
made sonic this year in my spraying that
I intend to avoid next year and, maybe,
by making mention of them someone may
benefit by my experience and avoid mak—
ing them also.

XVben I commenced packing my fall
apples I found on very large trees some
apples that were SO scabby that they
were not marketable. I will prevent a
repetition of this by building a folding
tower such as was described in The
Farmer last spring, cn the top of my

 

THE MICHIGAN FARMER.

spraying machine platform, which will
enable me to get four or five feet higher
and this year where I used a. 10-foot rod
1 will use a 14—foot rod next year, so that
these places that I could not reach I
shall reach without fail next year.
Again, there were some trees in my or-
chard this year that blossomed but little
so I did not take the trouble to spray
them. I thought the fruit would not pay
for the spraying. But now I am con-
vinced that the fruit is not the whole
object to keep in mind while spraying.
To say I was ashamed is putting it mild-
ly, when a party of people who motored
twenty miles to see my apples went into
raptures over some exceedingly large
Tolman Sweets that I had not. sprayed
on account of their being so few on the
tree. These apples were so wormy that
they Were fit for nothing but the hogs.
I have firmly resolved to spray every tree
that has a dozen apples or else pick the
apples off and throw them away before
the codling moth has a change to get
in its work.

Another mistake I made was to assume
that the first spraying, when the trees
were dormant, which was very thorough,
Lad destroyed all the scab spores, and
that subsequent sprayings were princi-
pally for the codling moth. Vt'hile I
used lime—sulphur solution I did not take
the care to get it the proper fungicide
strength and the result was a little scab
in plat‘C’S when there ought not to have
been any.

While we aim to protect our trees
against breaking when they are carrying
too heavy loads. it occasionally happens
that a tree gives away where, we least
expect. I have in mind a large Northern
Spy tree which has bccn split the whole
length of the trunk from the branches to
the ground, a distance of about four
fcet. I have decided to (hop out all the
splintered wood, coat the surfacl‘ with
tar and with a woven wirc fcncc stretch-
er draw the parls together firmly and
bolt them. I am iii‘iiily convinced that
the tree will l)(‘l practically as good as
before such trcatmcnt.

PUBLIC HEARINGS ON GYPSY MOTH

AND BROWN TAIL MOTH.

G. THOMAS.

 

Dy Section 8, of the Plant Quarantine
Act, approvcd August 20, 1912, the Scc~
retai'y of Agriculture is authorized and
(lirectcd to quarantine any state. tori-i-
tory, or district of the I'nitcd States, or
any porioii thereof, when he shall dcter-
mine the fact that a dangcrous plant
discase or insect infestation, new to or
not thcrctol‘ore widely prcvalcnt or dis—
tributed within and throughout the Uni-
tcd Statcs, exists in such state or terri—
tory or district.

llci‘oi'c establishing such quarantine
the secretary is dircctcd to give a public
hearing, at which hearing any interest-
cd party may be prcsciit and be heard,
cithcr in person or by attorney.

The gypsy iiiotli is one of tho most do—
sti‘ucttivc insects which attacks t‘ruit,
shade and forcst trees. It is known to
occur in limited areas in Maine, New
Illainpshirc, Massachusetts, 'lthode Island
and Coiinccticut and as the 03419; niasscs
ol‘ the iiiscct may be transported on
(‘hi'istiiias trccs and grecn, livingr trccs
and shrubs. or on forest products such
as cord wood, lumber, telephone poles.
railroad ticsh etc. it is noccssary that
cvcry possible nicans be taken to pro-
ycnt distribution to other sections of
the I'nitcd Slalcs.

in order to accomplish this purpose it
is proposed to establish a quarantine
covering tho district now known to be
iiii'cstcd with this inscct in order to reg-
iilatc shipment from such district: of
plants 0r plant material which may car-
ry the post. If the proposed quarantine
is cstablishcd, the sot-rotary ol‘ agricul—
ture will issue regulations providing for
the inspection of material to be shipped
out of the quarantined area. which is
liable to transport this insect. The ship-
ment of Christmas trees and Christmas
greens out of the quarantincd area will
in all probability be prohibited, except
in so far as it may be possible to inspect
them.

Notice is given that. in compliance
with the law a liublic hearing will be
held at the Department of Agriculture,
\Vashingt-on, D. C., on October 30, 1912.
at ten o’clock, in order that all parties
interested may appcar or be represented,
to give testimony concerning the advis~
ability of placing a quarantine on cer-
tain portions of New England to prevent
the spread of the gypsy moth, and im-
mediately after this hearing one will be
hold with regard to quarantining against
the brown tail moth.

 

 

Good land alone
seldom raises the
best crop and good
rubber alone can-
not make a good
rubber boot.

It takes time, skill, work

and conscience to make
both crops and boots worth

While.

'p...,n/Iimi~"lll V"

The first thing: we do when
we make a rubber boot, an
arctic or a knit boot, is to l ‘tll‘ll
the farii‘icr’s problems and
build our boot to fit his needs
as well as his feet.

It takes more than good
rubber, though. Rubber has
to be treated—liardcncd for
the heel, toughened for the
sole—made stronger where
your toes work up and down
——and scams must be tight.
\Ve believe that “Ball-Band”
Boots and Arctics are made so
wcll that if you figure on the
cost per day’s wear they give,
you will find them the lowest
priced boots you can buy.

Look for the Red Ball on rubber
footwear. It’s the “Ball—Band”
trade-mark and is put there for your
protection, to satisfy you that you
are getting our goods.

After you have worn one pair of
“Ball—Band” boots you will know what:
real quality is. For every cent they cost
you, you get a full return of wear and satis-
faction. Over 45,000 dealers sell them.
Eight million men wear them. If your

’l‘wo proposed nmcnd-
ments to the state
constitution will con-
front cat-h clcctol‘
who prepares a. ballot in the gcncral
election on Tuesday ncxt. None should
overlook these proposals, since a full cx-
prcssion of the elcctorato upon muttcrs
dircctly affecting the fundnmcntnl law of
vlhc state is even more dcsirable :1nd ‘of
greater importance than a. full votc in
choico of oliicizils. The first of those pro-
poscd amendments affccts Section 1. Ar-
ticle lll, of tho constitution. Briefly
stated, it prnposcs to cx'tcnd the right to
Vote to c-Vcry woman, a, citizen of the
l'nitcd Stall-s and the state of lWichigan,
above the ago of twc'nty-one years. The
sccond proposal has to do with the
amendment: of city or village charters,
giving, through Section 21, Article VIII,
ol‘ the constitution. any city or village
tho power to amcnd an existingr charter
through its regularly constituted author-
ity. without making a. general revision of
the 01d charter or framing a new one.

The demonstra-
Extension Work in the tion and Ice-
Upper Peninsula. ture tmin insti—
tute: held at: St.
Ignace on It/[onday las-t, closed a special
twelve-duys’ campaign in the llppcr Pe-
ninsula. by instructors of the Agricultural
College and Experiment Station men who,
during that period, stopped at about 30
cities and towns and appeared before
about 12,000 people. The route carricd
the instructors through all but about five
of the counties? in toe Peninsula. The
interest ran high, instances being report-
ed of farmers traveling 25 miles to avail
themselves of the instruction offered.
The train consisted of seven cars, four
of which were used for demonstration
purposes, one car being devoted to dairy

 

and beef cattle, another to sheep and
swine, a third to poultry and a. fourth to
grain and produce. The topics discussed
cOVered a, wide range, Professor Jeffery
speaking on Upper Peninsula soils and
their management; Mr. Raven on horses,
beef cattle, sheep and swine; Professor
Linton on farm poultry; Professm- Shaw
on the State Agricultural College, the
Experiment Station and the farmer of
Michigan; Mr, Getismar on orchard, gar-
den and fruit crops; ProfeSSor Wojta. on
farm crops adapted to the Upper Penin-
sulu, and Professor Carr on dairy, poul-
try and equipments.

The enthusiasm 'of the people of the
Upper Peninsula for this work shows the
awakening of that portion of the citizen—
ship of the great commonwealth of
Michigan in agricultural pursuits. Out-
siders have thought in the past, and
many of them still believe, the Upper
Peninsula to be fit only for mining op-
erations, but. that agriculture will play
a large part in the future development of
this section is testified to by this seem—
ingly aroused intelligence as to the farm-
ing and stock raising possibilities over
the whole stretch of the Peninsula.

There is general satis-
faction with the Sulzer
apple package and
grade bill passed by the last COngress
and signed by the President, August 3.
1912— The bill provides for a. standard
grade and pack of apples, the measure
as it became a. law reading in full as
follows:

Soc. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of the
I'nited States of America. in Congress as-
semblcd, that the standard barrel for ap-
ples shall be of the following dimensions
when n’lcasm'cd Without distention of its
parts: Lcngth of stave, 281/2 inches:
diameter of head, 17% inches; distnnce
between hcads, 26 inches; circumference
of bulgc, (34 inches outside measurement.
rcprcscnting as nearly as possible seven
thousand and fifty-six cubic inches, pro-
vided that slow] barrels containing the
interior dimensions provided for in this
scction shall be construed as a. compli-
zincc therewith.

Sec. 2. That the standard grades for
apples when packed in barrels which
shall be shipped or delivered for ship—
nu‘lll in interstate or foreign commerce,
or which shall be sold or offered for sale
within the District of Columbia or the
’l‘crritories of the United States shall be
its follows: Apples of one variety, which
are well-grown specimens, hand—picked.
of good color for the variety, normal
shape, practically free from insect: and
fungous injury. bruises and other defects,
cxcept such as are necessarily caused in
the operation of packing, or apples of one
vuricty which are not more than ten per
ccntum bclow the foregoing s1’)eciticajtions
shall be “Standard Grude minimum size
two and tl]l(,‘-llalf inches,” if the mini—
mum Sth' of the apples is two and one—
hnlf inchcs, in transverse diameter;
“Standard Grade minimum size two and
one-fourth inches." if the minimum size
of the apples is two and one—fourth
inches in transverse diameter; or ”Sizin-
dard (lrndc minimum sizc two inches,”
if the minimum size of the; apples is two
inches in transverse diameter.

Sec. It. That the barrels in which ap-
plcs arc. packed in accordance with the
provisions of this Act may be branded in
kit‘t'tll‘tlllllcc with Scction two of this Act.

Hcc. -i. That all barre-ls packed with
apples shall be deemed to be below stan-
dard if the barrel bcnrs any statement,
design or dcvice indicating that the bar-
rcl is a standard barrcl of apples, as
herein defined. and the capucity of the
burrcl is less than the capacity prescribed
by Section one of this Act, unless the
barrel shnll bc‘ plainly nlarkcd on end
and side with words or tigurcs showing
the fractional relation which the actual
capacity of tnc l)‘cll'l'(‘l hours to the ca-
pucity prescribed by Section one of this
Act The: marking required by this par—
agraph shall be in block letters of size
not loss than scvcnt‘y-two point one—inch
gothcic.

Soc, .7, That butl'rcls packed with ap—
pit-vs shall be 1i(‘t.‘ii]i‘d -to be misbranded
within the lncaning of this Act:

Firstslf tho burrcl bears any state-
ment, dcsign or dcvicc indicating that
tho :ipplcs contained ILhcrc‘in are “Stan-
dard Grade” and the apples when packed
do not conform to the requirements pre-
scribcd by Section two of this Act.

Second—If the barrel bears any state—
ment, dcsign or dcvice indicating that
the apples contained therein are “Stan-
dard Grade” and the barrel fails to bear
also a statement of the name of the va-
ricty, the name of the locality where
grown and the name of the packer or the
person by whose- authority the apples
were packed and the barrel marked.

Soc. 6. That) any person, firm or cor-
poration, or association who shall know-
ingly pack or cause to be packed apples
in barrels, or who shall knowingly sell or
offer for sale such barrels in violation of
the provisions (if this Act, shall be liable
to a. penalty of One Dollar and costs for
cach such barrcl so sold or offered for
sale, to be recovered at the suit of the
I’nited States in any court of the United
States having jurisdiction.

Sec. 7. That this Act shall be in force
and effect from the first day of July.

changes. The measure provides for a.
single grade of apples, known as the
Standard Grade. But this grade is di.
vided into three sizes governed by the
minimum size of the apples in each
grade as specified in Section Two 21- fol-
lows: “Standard Grade Minimum size,
2% inches; "Standard Grade Minimum
size, 2%, inches,” and “Standard Grade
Minimum size, 2 inches.” In all of these
sizes the specimens must conform to
the stipulation that they be of one vs.-
riety, hand-picked, of good color for the
variety, normal shape, practically free
from insect and fungous injury, bruises
and other defects, except such as are
necessarily caused in the operation of
packing 0r apples which are not more
than ten per cent below the foregoing
specifications. This last provision .was
put in to allow for errors in packing.
It is to be seen, also, that the barrels are
to be marked with (1) the variety, (2)
the name of the locality where grown, and
(3) the name of the packer or person
by whose authority the apples were pack-
ed and the barrel marked. As specified
in Section Seven the law goes into effect
the first of July. 1913. Many Michigan
growers are packing according to its pro-
visions this season, however. That such
a. measure will give increased confidence
in the apple pack, done according to its
provisions, goes Without saying. Our
foreign trade in apples should be en-
hanced, as well as our home trade. The
Fruit Marks Law of Canadaa. has ac-
complished great benefit to the apple
trade of that country and has improved
the foreign demand to a remarkable ex-
tent, so much so that; the exporters of
apples from the Uni-ted States are» being
discriminated against in favor of the
apples coming from across the line. What
that law has done. for Canada. the Sulzer
law should do for this country. The next
move should be for catch state to adopt
a law in harmony with this federal sta-
t‘ute.

illinois School officials are aiming to
improve the rural schools of that state
by a system which provides for an in-
spection of school equipment as regards
grounds, buildings, furniture. heating,

teachers. If this inspection shows the
school to be of a certain standard 3, pints
is fixed above the door of a school indi-
cating it to be “a. standard school. Upon
the fulfillment of certain further require—
ments, the school may be designated as
“a superior school.” By this means the
patrons of the school arc enabled to know
the relative grade of such schools as
comparcd with others of the stutcn.

The dynamiting conspimncy trial is

Rice—President Sherman is reported
critically ill at Utica, N. Y. The phy-
sicians hold out little hope for his re-
covery. Being a candidate for re-election
on the republican ticket with Mr. Taff,
his severe illness at this time has raised
the question as to how his place on the
ticket might be filled in case of his resig—
nation. The matter is being considered
by the party.

The board of supervisors of Saginaw
county adopted a. resolution calling upon
the next governor of the state to recom—
mend to the next legislature the erection
of a House of Correction along the same

tract with Saginaw county for permitting
persons to be sent to the House of Cor-

It is reported that one person was kill-
9d and 20 wounded, two of them fatally.
in a political riot at Havana, Cuba. on
October 26. Election is to be held there
on November 1, and it is predicted that
considerable rioting will occur on that
day. It is believed that the present gov-
ernment will not survive the election, for
should it be continued a revolution will
in all probability result. On the other
band, should the conservative candidate,
General Menocal, be elected peace may
follow because that wing of the electorate
is supposed to be backed by the United
States government and fear of interven—
tion is likely to prevent an outbreak on
the part of the defeated party“

Affairs in the Balkan war have gone
against the Turks the. past week. The
Bulgarians and their allies have already
succeeded in collecting their forces about
Adrianople and have practically isolated
that place from communication with Con-
stantinople, and the Bulgarians are now
moving to strengthen their position be-
tween these two important points to
enable them to effectively divide the
Turkish force's. Thus far the Bulgarians
have carried out their program quite
closely. They are, however, not over san-
guine regarding their victories and have
issued a. call fOr 80,000 more troops to
assist in the campaign. The Montene-
grins are. bombarding Scutari and the
capitulation of that place is expected
according to reports. Another important
item favorable to the allies is the suc-
cessful joining of the Montenegrin and
Servian forces at Sienitza.

On October 27 the entries for the In-
ternational balloon race for the Gordon

pening when the balloon was being filled.

CROP AND MARKET NOTES.

 

Lapeer 00., Oct. 26.—Fine weather for
digging potatoes and doing other farm
work, although wild geese are flying
southward. Not more than one-half cf
the acreage of potatoes dug as yet. Pro-
(IUCc dealers do not seem to carewheth—

will bc made into cidcr ncxt. wcclt’.

Mec0sta Cor—Some formers report their
potatoes going 150 bu. per acrc, and.
beans 12 to 15 bu. Not very much fall
seeding done this ycar. Some of the
l'zlrmcl‘s who had sccd corn of their own
have a. gond crrip, but most of the fields
grown from shipped in seed contain a
lid of soft corn and frostcd fodder. Ap-
ples have bornc thc lust in \"Jtll‘is‘ but

THE PRACTICABILITY OF SCIENCE.

transmission of sound and in the pro-
duction of electric stimuli. Who did not
marvel at the wonders of the telephone
and telegraph, and with what reverence
almost do we not consider the discovery
which permits, with the single pressure
of an electric button, a message to be
flashed through a thousand miles of
space. The scientists in these matters
have not been working to accumulate
information and to unravel nature’s sec-
rets for the purpose of furnishing ab-
stracu information, for the C. Q. D. or
the S. O. S. is being used as a daily
means of saving human life.

The chemist and the psysiologist have
learned, likewise, that before an intimate
knowledge of the nutritch processes of
man and animals can be understood, the
mystery of the life of the Single-celled
bodies must be unraveled
The Stone Which the Builders Rejected.

0110 of the most difficult things for
students to learn and for the public gen-
orally to recognize is that the discovery
of the fundamental principles of life ac—
tivity are never revealed spontaneously.
They are the result of a natural cvolu-
tion or systematic building in which
many scholars have devoted their lives.
If we were to judge any of our great
men upon the failure of their prophecies,
or the success thereof, most, if not all,
would fail. Much more is said that is
not true than than which is true, and the
history of the scientific achievements of
this day, whcn rccordcd :1 few years
hcnce, will be free from many of the
things which we now deem vital. Time
smoothos out the lines and blots out the
undesirable and what finally is reared in
the great structure that scicnce is build-
ing, will be :1 few stones which have been
selected from many and. in fact, which
in this generation may have been re—
jected entirely, for very frequently is it
true that thc stone which the builder
has rejected l111s become the head of the
corner.

White Chinchillas and Velvet Coats the Rage—
Henriettas Again Good.

If there was any proof needed of the
old saying, “There is nothing new under
the sun." it would be furnished by fash-
ions. Iiave you noticed how Henrietta
cloth, after havmg been taboo for several
seasons, is being shown this fall? And
dealers are assuring us solemnly it is
going to be extremely good, with a
very strong accent on extremely. It is
in almost identically the same shades
that we wore, I won’t say how many
years ago, another proof of nothing new.
It gave me a feeling of extreme old age
to see a piece of llenrietta exactly like
the one which made up my “best dress"
when 1' was a girl. Mahogany color we
called it then. They have a new name
for it now. copper color.

$10 the yard, but llicse are only to ho
thought about in dreams. So soil is the
texture and so exquisite the. colorings
that an artist would rave about them.
Small wonder, then. that frail woman
would almost go hungry to possess a
coat of such cloth.

Cordui'oys are even better than last
year for utility wear. They are. shown
in what is called, hollow cut, with the
cut so deep that the back may be seen

 

between the cords. They are in plum,
prune, taupe, dark gray and brown.

Manitoulin blue, “let new blue of the
season, is named for the bluebclls or
Manitoulin island. A buyer who visited
the island this past summer was so
charmed with the shade of the bluebells
that, he had it reproduced as nearly as
possible and it is one of the season’s new
colors. ()ne sees it in the silks as well
as poplins.

NOV. 2, 1912.
,WHY WOMAN SUFFRAGE?

Dear Deborah: ——
Though I half believe you stood where

you did on “The Suffrage Plank" simply
to stir some of us up,» still a few women
may take you in earnest so I wish to
take up very briefly a few statements you
give for not being’ an active advocate of
equal suffrage, and consider them.

1. Of course, “married women with no
children, married womcn whose children
have grown up, and spinsters,” are main-
ly “leaders" in this movement for all
women! Why not? Would we women be
worthy of a part in public homekeeping
if we had .not first .Ofi all at. heart the
duty which lies learest? That is one
belaut‘y about it all. The women who are
out in the field are those women whose
children have gone from the home nest
and who are still seeking to follow them
with their protection and interest. They
are also women of means from protected
homes who seek to help those less for-
tunate women whose conditions of living
are heavy. The mothers with children
still clinging to their skirts are mostly at
home, but many of them are giving sym-
pathetic help from that home circle as
they are able through their daily contact
with people. It is said that in Seattle
probably not 100 women worked publicly
for suffrage and yet at the first election
an overwhelming number of women vot-
ed. The few who can, work in behalf of
the many who can’t.

And “spinsters?” VVe-ll I plead guilty
to the bclief that if anybody should go
outside the home to work for this cause,
it is the spinstcr! Since the day when, a.
few months, ago. I had an arrest of
thought upon this subject, as a spinster
I have felt it incumbent upon me to do
all that I can, not for myself alone. but
for the hundreds of indivl .1131 women who
cannot go out from home but who need
and want this co—partnership in Ithe larg-
cr housekeeping of the community. More
than being guilty of being a spinster, I
am one of the 100,302 Michigan women
who pay a share toward the support of
the state without having any word as to
who shall spend or squander thalt nioney.
I am also one of nearly 8,000,000 women
in this country who earn their own liv-
ing and am interested With them in con—
ditions under which won, together with
many children from our homes, work in
offices, 'stores. factories and upon farms.
I am country—born and bred and have
seen boys and girls by scores leave coun-
try homes to plunge into Detroit and
other large cities. VWhen I rend that yes—
terday a special coach, with armed
guards, left Detroit to take to prison 13
11'l1itc-slo1'crs who were convicted in that
city, where it is boasted that “life is
worth living." I naturally thot g'ht of
those country girls who have gone to the
city. Do you wonder that I wished that
their mothers had some powerful relation
to the laws that now aim only 11.1 “rogu-
late” the conditions that foster traffic in
young‘womanhood? More than this I
am one of 'IlltlilSfiIltiS at “maiden aunties"
who have had a responsible part in the

‘care and rearing of motherless children

and have learned thcrcby something of

Show quickly a boy can Slip his home-

inoorings when he bcstrides a bicycle and
goes to school: and can dimly guess,
with a. wordless horror, the agony of
those mothers who see their daughters,
almost at their doors, made the victims
of such atrocities as befcll littlel Martha
llcis a few days ago in Dctroit.

2. You marveled at the personal top-
ics dismissed at the suffiragists' {0121 which
you attended. Did it nut occur to you
that these women had no incentive,
through responsibility to discuss the
relation of “Schedule K” to Johnnie’s new
overcoat; or of Detroit’s pitiablc civic
scandal 'to the cost of a car ticket? They
talked of baby’s teeth and ot" husband’s
favorite meat because thcse are things
to which tl.ey hold thcmsclves directly
related. But do you for a moment sup-
pose these women would not intelligently
t‘ollow baby and husbnnd into wider fields
just as soon as circumstances led them
to recognize their woman’s relation to
those fields?

3. You do Well to so frankly say that
you suspect a possible relation exists be-
tween woman suffrage and the high cost
of living; and if you will follow the same
line of. reasoning further, it will lead you
into further convicttion.

4. Because of these plain facts and

others, in behalf of women who would
like,to try to hetlp woman who are our
“sisters” in all the dearness and large-
ncss of that term—can’t you say, next
Tuesday morning, “John, if you cannot
vote for the woman's amendment today,
won’t you please not vote against i0?”

DETROIT WHOLESALE MARKETS.-

October 30, 1912.
Grains and Seeds.

Wheat—This market continues about
steady with a week ago. Prices in Am-
erica. are largely controlled by political

 

conditions in Europe and the. heavy re-
ceipts from the great American 'wheavt
growing section. The war Situation 1n

the Balkans is watched very closely and
on Tuesday it wasretported that owners
of English ships refused to permit their
vessels to carry wheat from the Black
Sea district; beams: of fear that the
])ardannelcs would be closed. This news
helped the bulls. Prices, however, were
held steady by the heavy receipts at
leading whealt markets in 'this country
and Canada. Late reports indiacte also
that. the. grading of wheat shows better

quality than was at first expected. .The
international crop report further indi—
cates a general harvest that is 7.2 per

cent greater than the crop of 1911. Flour
ago the

is in good demand. One year
price for No. 2 red Wheat Wits 96%0 peu‘
bu. Quotations are as follows:

\\'cdnesday . .1.091/2 1.08% 1.11 1.1514

Corn.—7Corn rules a fraction higher than
at the close of last Week. This was ac—
complished in face of a report that the
northern hemisphere crop is 16.4 per cent
greater than that produce-d a year ago.
The high price of live stock and its scar-
city' is encouraging feeders and farmers
to feed corn liberally. Then, U00, much
of the American crop is of inferior qual-
ity and must be fed immediately. (me
year ago No. 3 corn was quoted at 760

per bu. Prices for the past week are:

Oa‘ts.—This market rules steady. Al-

though the international crop report in-
dicates an increase, of 20.7 per cent in

the yield of this year’s crop as compared

with that of a year ago, it must be re-
membered that there were. many stores
to refill. and that last year's crop was
small. The price for standard oats one

year ago was 49c per bu. Quotations for

tho past Week are:

\Vednesday ............... 36% 35%

Beans.irl’riees have lluctUated this past
week with cash beans snowing a ten-
dtmcy downward. Farmers are not offer-
ing beans freely as yet because of a lack
of time. There will be a considerable
percentage of poor beans, although some
sections of tne state report a good yield.

Our receipts of hogs today were very
heavy; one-third more than we expected.
With the closing trade of last week in a.
demoraxlized condition, our market today
continued in this line, and another big
chunk was taken off the prices. The
general market for the best mixed and
medium kinds was ‘80, with a few loads
at $8.05@8.10, and one- load of fancy
heavies at $8.25. Good many yorkers
from $7.70@7.85; light yorkers, $7.256!)
7.50; pigs generally, 7c. Our market
plenty .low compared with other points,
and with light supplies the balance of
thqwelek we certainly should have a little
better trade. “'ould advise not buying
hogs to sell too high.

The sheep and lamb market was fairly
active today, with prices about 15c lower
than the close of last week; most 0f the
choice lambs selling from $6.75@6.85.
Yearlit/gs from $5605.50; look for about

The Monday run of cattle looks pretty
large for these days, .the receipts em-
bracing about 6,000 from western ranges.
The best beeves» were firm, and other dots
that graded well sold at steady prices,
but buyers were: bidding lower for other
kinds, the outlook being for a further
limited decline. An Iowa stockman
brought in 7 prime 1,593-lb. steers that
sold at $11, and a sale was made of a
consignment of prime Canadian range
steers at $10. Hogs took a. toboggan
slide, dropping at least 1561 25c, with sales
at $7.506L‘8.30, and provisions followed
with a sensational decline. Hogs mar-
keted here last wee-k averaged 228 lbs.,
compared witlh 214 lbs. one year ago and
244 lbs. two years ago. The sheep and
lambs market was reponted steady early,
with no lambs going above $7, however.
but it was thought that fancy lambs
might go above than figure later.

Cattle of the best grade sold all right
last week, there being very few of them,
and $11.05 marked a new high record,
beating former top sales by So. How-
ever, the general market continued to
pursUc a downward Course on account of
the too generous supplies of ordinary and
medium to pretty good cattle, grassers
and medium short~feds making up a. big
share of the natives. A large share of
the: native steers sold at $76310, with
choice to fancy heavy bceves taken at
$10.25 and upward, while inferior to good
grass steers brought $5.306v7.30 and plain
to good short-feds went at $7.356p8.25.
Better corn-fed Steers sold at $8.30 and
upward, while desirable yearlings brought
$8.606r10.75. Eastern buyers reported
crowded coolers, and. everyone said the
consumption of beef was only moderate.
liutchering cows and heifers had a fair
outlet at. “25698.50, with not' much do-
ing above $6.75, while cutters went at
$3.3061.t4.20, canners at $2.40@3.25 and
bulls at 3539562740. Calves had a. better
demand at $46110.25 per 100 lbs, choice
light-weight vealers commanding higher
prices, and milkers and springers sold at
$35'@90 per head, demand centering in
the better class of cow’s, which were of-
fereid sparingly. Western range cattle
again comprised a very fair share of the,
daily offerings, and they continued to sell
relatively better than native cattle of a
corresponding class, steers fetching $564)
9.75 and COWS and heifers $4607.75 but
steer sales near the top price were not
numer “S at any time. There was a fair
degree of animation in the stocker and
feeder branch of the market, the former
going at $4.256fl6.65 and the latter at $5.75
6177.60. A sale was made of 60 prime.
feteder steers averaging 1,238 lbs. at $7.60,
but sales above $7.40 were not numerous.
Feeder heifers were salable at $4.756!)
5.25. Native beef cattle below choice
quality were largely 156i>25c lower than
a week ago.

Hogs have been as bearish of late as
they were bullish a short. time previous,
with reductions of as much as 150 per
100 lbs. in a single day and large accum~

ulatlons of hogs in the stock yards. Much
larger receiptts here and also at eastern
packing points helped to depress the mar-
ket, the eastern shipping demand being
usual-1y extremely small, so that compe-
tition among buyers was lacking. Rallies
in prices :took place at times, but the gen-
eral trend of the market was downward,
With sales made at much the lowest
prices seen for several weeks. Still hogs
were much higher than in former years,
1910 excepted, and with promise of cheap
corn for the winter season, owners are
likely to make many of their swine good
and fat. Receipts of hogs an; other west.~
ern markets were on a, liberal scale, and
the sharp breaks in prices resulted in big
financial losses to many country ship-
pers. One result of the decline, in prices
was to cause many stockmcn to cease
selling, and it was generally believed
that the immediate future would see
much smaller marketings 0f h0g8 and
improved prices. The best demand cen-
tered in prime heavy hogs, which sold at
a good premium. the light hogs selling
slowly at a great discount. Despite. the
much enlarged receipts, it is still a. fact
that there is a hog shortage. When the
week closed hogs sold at $7.806U8.60, com-
pared with 3582560920 a week earlier,
the top price comparing with a. top at
$9.421/2 not long ago.

Sheep and lambs
greatly increased numbers last week, as
was anticipated, the liberal advances in
prices brought about a week earlier on
the reduced supplies, especially of range
flocks, tending to start large supplies
from feeding dist-riots for market. The
general demand failed to increase suffi-
ciently to absorb the liberal offerings
promptly, and sellers were compelled to
submit to large reductions in prices in
order to effect sales, even the choicest
flocks of lambs and sheep going off in
values along with the other kinds. Feed-
ers were in extremely large demand and
held up in price when everything else was
declining, large numbers of feeder lambs
and yearlings being shipped out. Unfor-
tunately, numerous consignments of
warmed-up lambs were returned to mar-
ket after feeding on weeds for a few
weeks, being no better lthan when first
sent out, and most of them were reship-
ped to feeding districts. There is no
money in such business, yet it is done
every fall. “’hen ‘thc wee-k closed lambs
sold mostly 5061.750 lower and sheep most-
ly 500 lower than a week earlier. Lambs
closed at $5617.15, yearlings at $5605.75,
wethetrs at $4.256D4.75, ewes at $27565
4.15. and bucks at $2.75@3.50. Breeding
ewes brought $4615, and feeders bought
lambs at $5.756DS.60, ycarlings at $47569
5.50, wethers at $3.65617435 and ewes at
$5613.50.

Horses were: in only fairly large de-
mand last week, there being no big at-
tendance of eastern buyers, but' good an-
imals sold at well sustained prices. as
the supply was not excessive: Other
kinds sold slowly at easy prices“ The
commoner grades sold on a basis of $75
611125 per head, while the better class
brought 55250617325, with not many good
enough to fetch $300. \Vagon horses sold
around $1606r250 and light drafters at
$1756r225, chunks weighing from 1,250 to
1,450 lbs. being salable at; $150@200.

The Canadian ranchman who marketed
a. train of some 45 car loads of cattle fed
on grass in Alberta at Chicago recently,

obtaining the unprecedented price of
$10-25 for tWO 081‘s of Hereford and
Shorthorn steers, said: “The Canadian

west is full of feed, and if we had access
to the Chicago market without the hand-
icap‘of 271/2 per centi tariff impost, we
could easily have bought 100,000 thin car.-
tle inithe United States this autumn for
maturing purposes. As it is, we have no
Cattle to consume. our feed.”

Reports from Alberta, the northwestern

prevince, are that, like many parts of
the United States, cattle are becoming
fewer, the farmers going out of cattle

raising and taking up wheat.

There has been a marked change re-
cently in the Chicago sheep and lamb
market, consisting of a great falling off
in the receipts from the ranges and a
corresponding increase in receipts from
feeding districts. Meanwhile, .the demand
for readers has been a'st sharp as ever,
with lambs in especially goOd request,
and good shipments have been made.
l':’;l‘ortunatc'ly, numerous shecpmen hare
made the serious. blunder of returning to
market yearlings, sheep and lambs that
had been purchased only a few weeks
earlier and fed on weeds. This is a prac-
tcie that makes no money and :hould be
abandoned These consignments are us-
ually resold for feeders and make second
trips to the country.

Synopsis of Preceding Chapters—Na-
thaniel Edgeworth, eccentric, hard-head—
ed and well—to-do, is passing his declin—
ing years upon his 400—acre farm on the
outskirts of the vllage of Turtle Creek.
His household consists of Mother Hub—
bard, housekeeper, and Brigadier Gen-
eral (by courtesy) Hornbill, a fellow vet—
eran; Zeb Wattles, an aged musician
who. with his daughter Jerusha, occupies
a cottage (.rent free) upon the farm, also
spends much time with his venerable
benefactor. Estrangement, and finally
death, robbed Nathaniel of his only son
some years previous, following which,
bitter remorse induced him to grant the
means of a liberal education to his sole
descendant and grandson, Sidney Edge»
worth. In like manner he had befriend-
ed his sister’s adopted daughter, Susan
Dunlap. The story opens with Susan‘s
return from boarding school and her full
appreciation of quiet Turtle Creek asrshe
views it from her own motor car. Sid-
ney Edgeworth has completed his course
at Harvard and rent-ed an expenstve
apartment in New York where he is
searching for a position as diligently and
sincerely as his grandfather's allowance
of $7.00 per month will permit. Among
obstacles encountered are two college
chitins—dlt-odlc, a typical case of “more
mom-y than brains,” and Jim, of an al-
together bettc-r sort, who has found a
job in Yonkers. Jim's last night in the
big city is made the excuse for an all-
night celebration. On their assembling
in Bldg quarters in the early morning
they find a tnlcgram announcing the
death of Nathaniel lidgeworth, of Turtle
Creek, Who, in a heated argument with
Brigadier tlcnct‘al llornbili burst a blood—
vessel and immediately passed away.

 

All were conscious of. the clock, ticking
in a corner—~and conscious of something
else, ticking dully deep down within
them.

A minute passed. Jim pulled himself
together with an effort and stepped solt-
ly to where Sid sat, slumped in his chair,
head down.

“I‘m sorry, Sid, old man," he said, put—
ting out his hand. “\Ve‘ve been a bunch
of fools.”

lioodlo came quickly to his side and
pressed the limp hand .lim had dropped.

“it’s a shame. Hid,” his voice was
harsh and he trembled with earnestness,
“we’re a crowd of cads.”

Sid did not look up.

“I suppose you’ll go out there—tomor-
row?” asked Jim awkwardly.

“Yes,” answered Sid, “i suppose I will.
But don’t you fellows worry about that
——that fool letter. It was my fault. I’m
worse than a cad. lle's supported me,

and Pro lrccn ungrateful and l—~l'm sor—
ry. tt-o.”

he wont to the door with them, and
('(i- ll pressed Sid’s hand firmly, sincerely,

in silent parting.

Chapter I||.—“Where There’s a Will—”

Quite the most forlorn and deserted
spot in Turtle Creek was the railroad
station. Every atom of moisture had

been sucked up from the long platform;
cvcn the fire barrel in the one shady
corner, under the blistcry eaves of the
station itself, had been attacked and
was only half full of warm, muggy water,
supporting a thick and populous Scum.

_»\ bare—foot boy picked his way the
length of the platform, his manner that
of a maiden lady crossing a muddy cor—
ner. The hard, dry. gritty boards blis-
tered (you through his callouscs and he
walked gingerly, like a cat. that has just
jumped onto a red—hot SU/Vt“ and off
again. Once he stopped, twisted a force-
ful “Gee!" from his tight little mouth,’
lifted a tanned leg and carefully inspect-
ed the sole of his foot, hopping about
on the other to maintain his balance and
keep from being burned. \\'ith Spartan
courage he jerked out a black splinter,
dusted off several cindcrs deeply imbed-
(led in the thick skin, and continued on
his way, imitating the. manner of a pro-
fessional rope~walker.

At the station entrance he stopped and
stood on one foot on a shady board, idly
picking at a blister in thc dizzily red
paint on the warped door.

“Ilello, Bud!" came a lazy voice from
within, a voice evidently with a bandana
about. its red throat, and a netVspaper
for a fan.

"Hello yourself an’ see lidw you like
it,” answered the youngster, hopping to
the cooler door—sill and rubbing the mud-
dy mixture on his face well in with a
ripped shirt sleeve. .

These might have been the last two
people in the world that blistering Au—
gust day. There wasn’t the slightest
sound, beside droning bees' and rasping
crickets.

BRAMBLE HILL.

BY ROBERT CARLTON BROWN.

”VVeil, I see yuh’re on time for the
12:32,” remarked the same tired, ban—
dana-throated voice. It really belonged
to the station agent, sweltering in the
corner on his glass-footed chair by the
telegraph key, but it seemed a. detached
thing,’ hovering about in space, fearing
the exertiOn of addressing anybody di-
rectly.

The boy squinted up at the dusty-faced
clock, ticking laboredly as though it, too,
were overcome. by the heat.

“Yep, on time,” he answered, dropping
on the hard, dry bench in the waiting-
room, “it’s only five minutes past one.”

Even words crisped and curled up at
the edges as they were uttered that day,
and conversation naturally languished.

The village lounger, Ed Humphrey, pok-
ed his bibulous nose and seeking eye in
at the door a few minutes later.

“Hot, ain’t it?” he gave the password.

"Wish I had a. drink of somethin’ cool-
in’,” remarked Herman, the station
agent, nodding to the newcomer with an
effort which squeezed tihroe drops of
perspiration from the bandana at his
throat.

“Gee! So do I,” said the other fer-
vently, a moist expression springing to
his lips and his eyes glowing dry.

Conversation again lapsed as Ed shov-
(-d Bud over into the sun glaring through
the (lusty window and took the less tor—
rid corner seat.

“Quit yer shovin’l”
moving over grumpily.

lid Humphrcy paid no attention; but
llcrman looked at the discomiited youth
for a. steady minute and then remarked;
“(lot anything to do up to the Edge-
worth‘s, Bud?”

"i got a chanct to earn a dime takiri‘
over some flowers from the Dunlaps.”

“liots of flowers, I suppose?”

“(lood many. But it's too early, the
funeral ain‘t till tomorrer.”

“Hope he don't come to life. in the
meantime,” grunted Ed.

“Mean cuss, wa’ant
agreed phlegmatically.

“He kcp’ me from honest work," said
Ed, with as much feeling as a man of
his class can muster without filling his
glass again.

“How’s that?"

“Gave inc a job managin’ a crew wood—
in’ his lit‘t‘ls one year. VVouldn‘t let me
have nothin' cool to drink but water.
Made me stand in the sun an‘ just keep
them fellers to work. I got knocked out.
.iiavcn’t i't‘cn able to do much since. it’s
a darn small bunch of pigweed I’ll be
puttin’ on Nathaniel l'Jdgcworth’s collin.”

“Aw gwan,” doubted Bud, “i guess ye
didn’t like, it, ’causc he bought Zimmer-
man’s pool room an’ changed it into a
milk depot an’ you didn’t have no—” he
stopped abruptly, cocked his ear and
listened intentlly for a moment, then
broke off, “Ain't that her?”

“That‘s her," replied llerman, dropping
forward on his chair and shoving to-
gether a few mcssy bills of lading.
“S’pose that funeral of old Edgeworth’s’ll
be givin’ me a lot of work to do. I had
two telegrams from relatives and such
this mornin’ only.”

He tetered to his feet and creaked
across to the ticket window, slammed it
shut, locked the office door, glanced at
the clock, and followed llud to the plat-
form.

The 12:32 was undoubtedly arriving,
pushing ahead of it and dragging behin-l
it swirls of dust and cinders. it labored
and wheezcd into the station; the bag-
gagcmau leaned out from his car and
handed Bud his bundles of Bayvicw Bugle
and Pike County Vigilant, for delivery.
Hermann gave the baggagcman an ex-
prei-s patkagc, took a few receipts in ex—
change, and then remarked, whilo the
engine. was making up its mind to go
along: "Hot, ain’t it?"

“’i‘arnation hot,” was the fervent reply.

Hermann and Bud stood together as
the train was getting under way, then
turned with one impulse to start for the
station. But neither moved a step. Not
a rod away stood something which made
the jaws of both hang down in blank
bewilderment.

Ed Humphrey was taking in the spec-
tacle, as well. from the shade of the sta-
tion door. Recovering first, he lounged
over to Herman, gaped an; the show and
remarked with a. leer: “Who's your lady
friend?”

It was a fetching bit of humor. Bud

exclaimed Bud,

he?” Iierman

MICHIGAN FARMER.

‘snickered and ‘- Hermann ”would have
laughed, only at that moment “the Spec-
tacle” dropped its bags and boxes and
stepped toward him.

As the little trio huddled together lone-
somely and awaited the. stranger’s ap-
proach the last car rushed by, picking up
tag-ends of air and dust and getting.

quite a respectable following by sucking ,

in everything reachable.

The stranger, in stepping toward Her-
mann, his mouth question-open, aisle
came nearer the track and,-as the eddy
of wind and motes raced by, an eager
edge of the whirlpool reached out and
clutched at the wide—brimmed panama he
wore, a gay gray band about it.

A second later the hat was spinning
along on its rim like an animated platter
out for a roll. Its owner stood looking
after it with only casual interest, as
though it had been somebody else’ hat,
and not a very good one at that. '

The dumb little trio swung around to
see, it being always worth while to~watch
a, hat sprceing with the wind. As the
train gained momentum the; suction be-
came more effective and the racing ar-
ticles in its wake» increased their speed;
but the hat, being heavier than the rest,
finally failed to keep pace and begtn
staggering from side to side, crazily, like
a drunken man.

llud relieved the: tense situation by rac-
ing after the hat. Hermann, the spell
broken, spoke out of the corner of his
mouth to Ed: “Can’t be a travelin’ man,
can he?”

“No. llis clothes ain’t out
enough; they’re cut foreign.
French in a n i ”

“Maybe he’s an Englishman?”

“lle‘s smokin’ a cigarette,’ said Ed,

stlyli'sli

lll cathlcssly, staring at the modishly
dressed young fellow.
“Maybe he’s a gentleman burglar,

yuh’ve heard of ’e-m, haven’t—”

Bud 'anie running back with the. hat
and paused an instant before the pair to
whisper, “Aw, I know who he is now,
he's Nathaniel Edgeworth’s grandson,
Sid. come. back to the funeral. His ini-
tials is in the hat.”

“Oh!" exclaimed Herman, turning, and
this time finding the young fellow ap—
proaching with an easy swing. Running
a smooth hand through his light hair,
the stranger smiled broadly at Bud and
extended a. dime in exchange for the
hat.

lie. was a tall youth, a slight social
stoop to his shoulders, a somewhat defer-
cntial sloop often seen in young college
men. usually caused by a flat chcst pro—
posed and effected by the cigarette habit.
- the. folks at home attributvingit to much
bending over books. The black serge
suit he wore; was smooth and fine and
tittcd well. lle had on a wing collar,
like those. affected by the men in maga—
zine advertisements, but his was worn
just a shade. more easily, as though the
collar button bothered him not a bit. He
looked at home in his clothes. Such a
decent black tie he had, too; not heavy
“light and summery with a happy little
pattern; not dull and sodden as a black
tie can be.

There was not a jarring note in his
appearance; cvr-n the tip of a. handker—
chief just peeping from the cuff at his
wrist, and the little watch strapped just
above and tucked well up his sleeve, only
an edge showing, seemed quite in place.

“I say.” he remaikcd, staring at the
trio of open months. “which of you gen-
tlemen will attend to my baggage? I’ve
a. trunk coming. There’s some way of
getting it to the house, isn’t there? A
wheelbarrow or something?”

He paused and scanned the unintelli-
gent faces hopelessly, "Of course, there
isn‘t a taxi in town? No, absurd! Taxis
are out of the question here.”

“Yes. taxes is high; everybody’s kick-
in’,” remarked Hermann, bravely jumping
into the bramble bush. “Yuh say your
trunk'll be in on the night train? It
didn’t come now. VVl-iere’s it goin’?”

“To Nathaniel Edgcworth’s house. I’ve
forgotten what SItrcet it’s On, but prob-
ably you have. heard of him? He built
the county electric light and power com-
pany, you know. I wonder how one gets
to the house?”

; “Whichbne?” queried Bud, scenting a.
baggage carrying job. ,

Twirl), any onc; you see, I want to get
to‘ the» house. I've never been in the
town but once before and I find I’ve quite
forgotten my way. You don’t know where
it is. I suppose?”

“Don’t know where Edgeworth’s house
is? Why, there ain’t anybody in Pike
county that don’t know that!” exclaimed
Bud, big—eyed. “You can almost see it

o'er.“ 26, 1‘93?

there. Will I carry them grips for you,
mister?" .

“Why, yes, thank you.”

"You’re. welcome," replied Bud formal-
ly, twisting about to view the pile of
luggage.

“You can take that one with the two
handles," oflfercd the young fellow. "I
really don‘t know which handle you
should carry it by."

Ed Humphrey swayed forward on his
toes, plopped his eyes Out. screwed up
his mouth and wriggled his nose face-
tiously at Herman as the stranger turn—
ed to help Bud sort out the pile of bags.
He put one finger to his forehead with

Homeric simplicity and remarked, roll—
ing his eyes ominously, “Nutty.”
in support of this verdict the young

man, having gathered up part of his
bags, dropped them all suddenly and stop-
ped back to where Hermann stood, drip—
ping perspiration, and, introducing his
remark with 2! nervous clearing of his
throat, remarked, “By the way, I've lost
my trunk check; but that won't make
any difference, will it?"

”Difference? Of course, it will. Are
yuh sure it‘s gone?” queried llcrmann.

“Yes, quite. I searched everywhere
just before I got, off the train. 1 was
looking for my fountain pen, but [
thought I'd be, satisfied if I could only
scrape up the check while I was about
it. I didn't find either."

"Yes,” said Hermann politely.

"No,” said the other, “1 found neither.
But you’ll attend to that, won't. you?"

“1‘“ see what 1 kin do.‘ volunteered
Herman, “though it‘s ugainst the. rules
anything without a check

“Uh, I can describe the contents. 1——
l've done it before, you know.”

Picking up n hat box and a hand bag,
Sid ICdgewmlh turned to follow Bud, al-
ready struggling across the sizzling plat,—
form between two travel—tagged, English
kit-bugs, a pair of field glasses. and a
wicker lunch basket containing two ther—

mos bottles and rations for six.

at 'llei'munn, who still stood staring af—

whistle of consternation. Hermann only
grinned.

sombre and hushed. He thanked lud

fellow with ,. cold, shivering hundclasp
and remarking how much Sid's nose was

on the porch, his thoughts fur away.
[Cyct'ylhing seemed sll‘zlnge and dream—
like. But when he jerked himself from
the hazy nullity of his drilling thoughts
Sill nluuys tozllizml vuguely that he wus
fuce l0 far-e with his fu1urc, and he
didn’t like the look of it.

grundl'ulher's which they were,
t-cnsmnlly doing. There wasn't a rela—

could not help recalling a bit bitterly the
struggle his father had mudc ztgzlilmt
Nathaniel Edgeworth, Senior, who had
refused him an (‘tlllt‘fliiOlL forbidden his
marriage and denied paternal pity during
those long yours Nathaniel Junior had
fought out his battle in Boston, sick and
alone with Sid, his wife having died at
Sid's birth. Reconciliation had only lak—
en place Shortly before, the death of Hill's
father.

ln the llatz’iln‘ was

allouw d his
death,

Then there had been the allowance.
Yes, Nathaniel Edgcworth had tried to

make up for it all, with almost foolish
generosity—~but tcu lute. Still, Sid must.
be thankful to him. The allowance had
served to jerk him from a poverty—strick-
en bohemian community of insolvent ar—
tists and writers into a class of congen-
ial young fellows at college.

These thoughts repeated themselves,
conflicting endlessly in his mind during

the whole of that frightful mllowing day.
The tight little funeral, hard and un-
compromising, brief and exact, was all
very hideous.

Some sympathy was duly offered Sid
by the elderly ladies of the community
and his few distant relatives, among
them Susan Dunlap (who was really no
relative at all), whom he. met for the
first time. She was so thoughtful in of—
fering her condolence that he seemed
greatly relieved to find her nice, and dif-
ferent from what he had fancied her.
[Source as the sympathy was. Sid was
embarrassed by it. Of course, he was
sorry his grandfather was dead. It did
give him an unaccountable Sense Of
aloneness. llut he had never known the
man personally and had only the debt of
gratitude for the cdut‘ation given him.
He \\'.’l,< much relieved when all was over
and the pitifully few carriages hud strag—

death that the sight of his sorrow caused
a chill to shiver through Sid, and he
avoided him. But \\'ullle::. only more

next day. Ills need was Coimmlling,
Turtle. Creek was no plucu for him. he
didn‘t belong there, he wanted to go~at

a restless drumming to the rhythm of
car wheels. “I want to go. want to go.
want to go oust uguin." It seemed like
a poem he ll.ltl rend somewhere, and he
couldn’t get it out of his mind during
that restless. night. Several
times he slurp-ll up in bed as though he
shouldn't be them. “'hal was he, stay—

THE MICHIGAN FARMER.

mouthed affectionately, interspersed with
bitter epigrams by Nathaniel Edgeworth.
Sid paid no particular attention to the
naming of the executors: Sam Dunlap,
Newt Plum, and Aloi'sious Stimpson. But
among the series of small bequests which
followed he noted that Zeb XVatiles was
given the deed to his little house and an
income for life of ten dollars a month,
so he could “Scratch along as usual" the
will read, in Nathaniel Edgeworth’s
quaint phrasing, “and never. become
purse-proud and haughty.” To Mother
Hubbard was left a cook book and five
hundred dollars, with the characteristic
explanation from Nathaniel Edgcworth
that she was to learn something new in
the line of cookery from the book and
that the money was to pay for the good
materials she invariably wasted and spoil-
ed in trying to master a new dish.
Hornbill was given a half interest in
the old Eclgeworth house for four years,
with a monthly stipend of twenty dollars,
to be increased to fifty if he left the
house after the four years were up.

After that clause Nclwt Plum i‘c—ad—
justed his spectacles, glared fiercely at
the bated—breathed audience, rasped his
dry throat and continued: “To my
grandson, Sidney Edgeworth, I bequeath
the remainder of my property, both land
and invested securities, on the condition
that he reside continuously (with the
exception of two weeks in each year) in
the old Edgeworth homestead, in which
he is hereby given a half interest with
Brigadier General Hornbill, for four
years, and] that he fulfill, within the stat-
ed four—year period, one or the other of
the following conditions:’ ”

Sid was now sitting up straight in his
chair, mouth open, listening intently, his
eyes luminous with wonder.

Nelwt Plum continued: ” ‘Thai he ac-
quire, by purchase or gift, the, deed to
that strip of land commonly known as
Bramble Hill, lying between the grove on
the‘ northeast end of my properly and
the farm belonging to Sam Dunlap, and
add it 1.0 the lvldgmvoi‘ili Estate.

“‘Or, that he shall accumulate one

hundred thousand dollars in rentals and V

other earnings from the four hundred
acres known as Edgeworih Farm, a sole
interest to the extent of three thousand
dollars a year (the present income of
said property) is hereby bequeathed to
said Sidney lddgeworlh for they period of
four years, during which time he shall
be sole administrator of said property
and the profits therefrom. Should he by
any chance make any amount from the
land over illlll above the twelve thousand
and less than one hundred thousand, the
excess fillilVl" the twelve thousand al-
lowed him shall revert to the estate.

“ ‘In the «vent that Sidney lCdgcwmlh
fails to acquire the Dunlap strip of land
or make lhc four hundred acres (valued
at thirty thousand dollars) pay him one
hundred illilllS'llld dollars, \\'llllllll four
years, the. entire estate shall revert to
Miss Susan Dunlap. adopted daughter of
Sam Dunlap, my broihcr—indaw.’ "

’l‘liei'o was an ominous hush as Newt
l’lum finished. Then there broke out
an excited jumble of confused sounds.
Evidently the reading had caused a great

Use Caution—Don’t be Defrauded!

The great popularity and the heavy demand for the famous
Martha Washington Comfort Shoes made only by the F. Mayer
Boot 85 Shoe Co. of Milwaukee, have caused dishonest dealers
to sell cheap and inferior imitations to their customers when the
genuine Martha Washington was wanted and asked for.

THE PROPELLING POWER OF WORK
WELL DONE.

In another month all the Granges of
the state, with the exception of some
Pomonas, will elect! new officers. It
seems almost a pity that this annual
election must come just all; thepbeginning
of the season when a Grange- may reason«
ably expect to do its hardest and best
work. It would seem as if better results
might be expected if the new officers
were installed a. little earlier and they
have their plans well laid in readiness
for execution when the fall work is nice-
ly out of the way and the evenings are
longest.

However, there is the satisfaction of
knowing that the thoroughly efficient offi-
ccr will do such work as will carry his
office forward for a time by the power
of its momentum. This is what every
conscientious officer has the right to ex-
pect. He will do his best up to the close
of his term of office and turn over to his
successor, not an empty title of office,
but) lthe duties of the same in such shape
that his example and his plans will pro-
pel the work forward over the line of
readjustment with the impetus which he
has given.

Pat’ticdllarly should this be true of the
lecturer's work The. habit of having a.
good program at every meeting ought ltO
be so ‘well established that the break in
changing from one lecturer to another
will not materially decrease the strong
stride forward with which the Grange
moves. It is to be hoped Ithat this will
be the case in a majority of the lrange‘s
of Michigan this year. Not only should
the lecturer strive to do especially good
work during this last month of the
Grange year, but he should try to better
his previous best at every point. Not
.1th9 that, but he should now get his
program outlines, press clippings and
notes upon the year’s work in shape, so
that he can make a concise report which
covers the main features of the time he
has been in ofiicel. This should include
the chief topics discussed during the
your, the different forms of entertain-
ment features and mention of exhibits
and illusimtive material used to supple-
ment the subjects considered. To also
give the number of differenlt people who
haVc participated in the program will
make a striking feature of the report, and
any such facts go far to show how large
a percentage of the membership is ac-
tually availing itself of the educational
opportunities of the Grange. At first
thought this may seem a mere form; but
the chances are you will be surprised
yourself at the showing you make in this
way. in case yOu have not brought re-
suits to pass, you will discover the P911-
son why this has been true and perhaps
justify the fact. to yourself and others.
On the other hand, if you have had some-
thing of a program at eVery meeting—
even though at times in y , own sight
it may have seemed a slight one, this
summary of the entire year will look en-
couraging. It will add, by this process,
to the splendid achievements which al-
ready stand to the credit of the Grange.
simply because of a persistency to hold
frequent meetings and carry out a. pro-
gram at every meeting.

In addition to a. review of what has
been accomplished, the retiring lecturer
may well forecast what needs to be done,
set forth plans that are still undeveloped
and picture visions of what it is DOLSible
for his particular Grange to do in the
future. I have known an entire Grange
to be vitalized by this sort of reports.

CLUB DlSCUSSlONS.

Primary Elections—“Are primary elec-
tions a success to popular government?"
was the first topic considered by the
members of Conway and Mandy Farmers'
Club at its September meeting. The topic
was ably handled by Alton Grunt, who
said that as far as he had been able to
learn they were neither a success nor
popular. Barcly 15 per cenlt of the Voters

showing it is not a popular measure; one
reason is the candidate has to make a
declaration of his politics, he has to cir-
culate a petition signed by two per ccnt,
of his own partly, etc. A. E. Cole, (1. 1..
Adams and others favored the system,

but not the present primary law. G. A.
Newman believed the greatest trouble

lies with the people being too busy to get
out to 'the caucus. Edward Greenaway
was in favor of primary elecilion because
it brought the laws nearer to the people,
and believes that the faults of the law
will be corrected.

“The Ideal Neighborhood” was the sec-
ond tOpic and was opened by Mrs. James
\Vilkinson who said the ideal neighbor'—
hood should extend further than our own
neighbors; under ideal conditions neigh-
bors should be interested in each other:
selfishness is the base of all trouble.
Jealous, envious people we do not desire
‘to have. near us. When a neighbor is
behind with his work lend a helping
hand; in time of sickness givean er.-

Middleman a Necessity.»1n a discus—
sion of the topic, “How can consumer and
producer get closer together?” by the
members of the Conway Ful‘rnei's' Club,
J. B. Rambo held that Wr‘ can not get
along Without the middleman. ill. lrl-cn—
away said he agreed with Mr. Rambo
that middlemen are a necessity; we do
not want. too many, lthe less we have
between the manuflflcturcr and consumer
the better, but we must have some. The
people have learned the best ways of do-
ing, times are better, small dealers» are
crushed out by big cgm-erns and you can
buy cheaper 01’ .‘l firm that makes large
quantities. Conservation is necessary. J.
Snyder said trusts make us pay more;
small dealers would cause competition.
J. B. Fuller thought there were too many
non—producers; half as many professional
and business men in :1 small town would
be better, with more profit for those en-
gaged in business. (Do-operation among
farmers is a good thing. F. Rathbun
agreed that co-oporaltion is right. Alton
Grant said the credit system is a detri—
ment to both sidcs; many farmers with
plenty of means ask credit.
