Some Phases of the Apple Marketing Problem.





with the merchandising of apples,



no one who has had opportunity to

inform himself will deny. But a short

time ago the writer called upon a farm-

er living about forty miles from 7he city

of Detroit. This farmer had several

trees well loaded with a good quality of

fruit. He was asked what he intended

to do with them and replied that he could

not afford to harvest and ttake them to

market at the price offered by the deal-

ers, which was about thirty cents a

bushel. On that same- day, in the city

of Detroit, we paid twenty-five cents per





THAT there is a problem connected





peck for apples no better than those'





grown by this farmer. It has been un-

derstood in a general way,>by both pro-

ducer and consumer, that the margin

between wnatt the latter pays and the

former receives is too 'wide. .



The observing man also scPs that in

some months of the year tnis fruit is so

abundant that it can hardly be moved,

while- at other season‘s it is so scarce

that consumers of ordinary means are

unable to purchase. How to distribute

the apple crop of our state and nation

more equally over the entire year is an

important phase of the marketing prob-

lem. .

Again, it must [be noted that other

fruits are coming in. and taking away

from the apple grower a large share of

the market which he should have. The

tropical and sub-tropical fruits from the

SOuth are- to be found upon every fruit

stand and in every store where fruits

are handled. There is no reason why

these fruits should displace the king of

fruits—the apple—especially when that

fruit is grown in Michigan.



It was expected that a large number

of these problems would be solved by

co-operative institutions, but it must be

stated, when we review the history of

many of these undertakings, that they

have not as yet met with the success that

was anticipated. We cannot deny that

these institutions are based upon sane

and fundamental principles, but there

are numerous problems of management

that must be carefully worked out. Thus

far their greatest success has been where

conditions compelled the members to hold

together until the organization was thor-

oughly completed and under such con—

trol that its aims were secured. Expe-

rience should modify the conditions nec-

essary to make co-operative adventures

successful, and we sincerely believe that

that experience will ultimately be had.





There is circumstantial evidence which

leads one to believe that dealers in farm

endeavoring to force the

sale of these commodities through as few

channels as possible.

they are working in harmony with trans—

portation organizations and delivery as-

sociations to obstruct and discourage, as

much as possible, other means of getting

products to' consumers.





appears that





gives an ideal to the buyer and aids

him when he goes upon the market to

purchase. Such work should be encour-

aged by producers, since the results will

be highly beneficial to the apple in-

dustry.



Advertising is another way of teaching

the public. This is being done through

the ordinary means of advertising, by

marking packages and wrappers with

such information as may be helpful to

the public, and by supplying through the

press similar information.



Among other things, the consumer is

learning that where he buys in large

quantities the. product can be gotten to

him at a lower rate. If a barrel of ap—

ples is delivered to a party in twenty

consignments it naturally will cost more

than where delivered in one consignment.

This one factor alters considerably the

final cost of the fruit.



A third feature of encouragement lies

in the education of the producer himself.

He is beginning to learn that it, is easier

to market a high-class fruit than the

ordinary or poorer kinds. lie is also

Icaruing that when apples are carefully

graded and packed that buyers are, more

easily found. He is finding out, too. that

a reputation is an invaluable thing in

the marketing business. Toward this end

a large number of growers are already

sccking to place their particular brand

before consumers. Their efforts are





meeting with decided success. Consum-

ers, when they find a brand. of apples

that meet their requirements, not only

order and re—order. but pass the word

along to their friends who also become

customers. Such businesses, of course,

can only be built up» where the apples

are honestly packed. But the succeSs of

these producers, who are scattered here

and there over tlhe state and country,

must ultimately become an object lesson

to their neighbors who, in time, will

probably try similar methods.



Besides the influences already men—

tioned our experiment stations are help-

ing the farmer and apple grower to pro-





duce a. better fruit and showing him how





to pick, grade and pack the crop. Our

agricultural students who go back to the

farms are encouraging the same ends;

while, local and state horticultural assoc

ciations, books, the. columns of the press,

and the lat"L ~r business expericncc of the

farmer. are all Working tlogcthcr to se—

cure for the producer his legitimate share

in the returns from this crop.



In many sections of the cast an ad-

vance has been made toward a better

distribution of the, apple crop over the

whole ycar without the usual sacrifice





attending its selling in the fall when the





markets are flooded and values are low,

by producers establishing storage facil-

ities. In several communities complete:

cold storage plants are built with capi-

tal supplied by the growers, while in oth-

er instances common storage rooms are

provided. The result of such equipment

is to bring to the gi'owcrs a much better

price for the product. .\s soon as the

bulk of the harvest has passed into the

hands of consumers, values usually ad-

vance. and continue to do so until the

following spring. Those who have de-

pendable storage facilities can silorc their

apples and take advantage of these ad-

vances which often amount to a doubling

of the receipts. It is true. that the mar-

kets for all years are not alike, but the

number of seasons when prices advance

as spring approaches is so large that lit—

tle chance is taken by those who, in a.

business-like manner, put capital into :1,

storage plant for this purpose. The na—

tural result of the, use of such institu-

tions is that there are more apple-s for

late wint‘cr and spring consumption.

Some assistance has also come from

our legislative bodies. Coiigl‘QSS and the

state legislatures haVc helped a little in

correcting some of the evils of our trans-

portation systems. They have also aid-

ed in providing means of educating the

fruit grower and also in protecting him

against the negligence of his neighbors.

The most recent addition to the helps of

this kind was the passing of the Su-lzer

bill, which provides for a standard grade

and pack of apples. The measure. how-

ever, d0cs not go into force until July

of 1912, so it is impossible- to say how

it will work out in practice: but it, is the

gent-ral belief of all concerned in the ap—

ple busint‘uss that this law will help won—

dcrfully in sccuring the confidence of the

consuming public in the apples packed in





states where the tarrel is used as a

container. If the measure can do this

it will be a long stride forward in the





marketing of apples. llcretofore our state

legislatures have hesitatcd to enact sim-

ilar measures because such a law might,

handicap the local man in competition

with sellers from other states. But now

DOES IT PAY TO BUILD A TOOL

SHED?





This year a great many farmers

throughout the state have bulilt t0ol

sheds and now that the silos are, filled

and the bean harvesting done, a great

many more should build them. There is

a good chance to build a tool shed be—

fore winter comes on and outside work

is stopped. In the past many farmers

liaVc questioned the advisability of build-

ing tool sheds and it is true that exact

data on the subject is rather uncertain.

but in this article. i shall make use of

some figures which I think are fairly

conservative and, if anyone differs from

me in any of them, I should like to

know it.



From figures given in the last census.

we find that on the average farm there»

is about a thousand dollars invested in

farm machinery, while on a great many

farms there is about twice this amount

invested. At first it would seem that

these figures are, very high but. upon

investigation, it will be found that it

does not take very much of the high—

priced machinery of 'the

be. worth a thousand dollars.





economic standpoint. we must assume





that a machine is worth what we havel





to pay for it.





[From a number of estimates given by





farmers it: was estimated that the aver-

age life of a housed machine is ‘twelve

yrars, and at that rate the. value of the

machinery on the. average farm would de—

preciate in value $80 per year.



I think it would be fairly accurate to

say that the. unhoused machine will run

about eight years. and in than length of

time the depreciation of the. value of the

tools would be $120 per year.



Estimating that an implement shed

may be built for $250 and that it lasts ten

years. it would amount to an investment

of $25 per year. '\\'ith these

mind we can easily

rate, the saving by building a tool shed

would be $13 a year.



Besides there are other

as to the labor of going back in the field

and getting the tool when it is needed in

the busy scason of the year, and then,

also. there is the added reasons that in

nutter when the work is not pressing,

the farmer can go out to the shed and

examine the, machinery and see that all

parts are there and Whether any of 'them

SHREDDED FODDER KEEPS WELL

WHEN PROPERLY HANDLED





 





Having noticed from articles appearing

in The Farmer that some farmers were

raving trouble with their fodder heating

and. having had that trouble. myself and

lcarning the. cause and a remedy. i write





for the: benefit of my fellow farmers. I





have. husked my corn by power for the

past ten years, and at first was troubled

with the fodder healting. Believing there

to be a cause for all things I got busy

and disccher it in this. instance. Cen-

erally when we. husk corn by power we

direct the blower pipe in the bay, leave

it stationary and let! the fodder go in as

it will. The result is that the fodder

will pile up. the stems and heavy parts

of the material will remain at the center

of the pile while the lighter leaves and

husks will blow in the outside- Of the

bay. This results in the heavy mass

packing down closely and furnishes ideal

conditions for heating and moulding. Now

if one will take the precaution to spread

the fodder around the bay, mixing the

leaves and butts together so the dry,

lightt material will be present tlo absorb

any excess moisture of the heavier parts,

tramp it down if you like, and sprinkle

on a little salt after about every six

inches of fodder is put in, he will find

that the fodder will keep well and that

the stock will thoroughly relish it.

THE PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN NUTRI-

TION.





BY FLOYD w. ROBISON.





We now come to the consideration of

the principles of human nutrition. As

far as the principles are concerned, it

may be considered that they are in the

main the same as we have discussed un—

der the principles of animal nutrition,

but man is a very different machine to

handle than an animal and there are cer—

tain conditions which pertain in human

nutrition that we have not been able to

discuss at; all in our articles thus far.



We wish at this point to remind the

reader that the principles governing the

science of nutrition apply 'to the single-

celled animals and plants with the same

Iforce as to the complex organic beings.

In man we have the presence of a new

force to contend with which is not so

apparent in the lower animals. It has

not been necessary in studying animal

nutrition to pay any attention to what

we may call the psychic influence and its

effect upon the nutritive processes, al-

though we have, in a sense, made allow—

ance for it when we have shown that

such factors as palatabilit’y influence the

conditions surrounding the digestion of

food. Also, we do know as well that an

interference with the normal exercise of

the material function also has its effect

up0n digestion and assimilation of food.

For instance, it is well known that, with

the dairy cow or with the horse, as well

as with other domestic animals, the sep-

aration of the mother from the offspring

develops a. certain psychic condition

which is not conducive to the securing

of the best. results from the administra-

tion of food. Likewise. with a horse or

dog, if it is removed from old time as-

sociations, We have known them to stead-

fastly refuse food for a considerable. pe-

riod of time, until this psychic phenome-

non has adjusted. itself.



In human nutrition, not only is the

psychic phenomenon occasionally present

but it is always present. and it exercises

a very decided influence on the various

factors influencing nutrition. We there—

fore assume at the outset that these con-

ditions must be so standardized that they

will not interfere ‘in the ordinary diges-

tive processes. In other words, in study-

ing human nutrition we must counter-

poise the individual idiosyncr-acies.



What is a Food?



A food is any substance which, taken

into the body, yields energy or is of use

in the performance of some normal body

function. Within this definition of food

we: would c’lass substances which directly

may yield energy or which indirectly may

yield energy. An example of a food

stuff which yields energy directly is egg

albumin, or starch, sugar, or fat. Ex-

amples of food stuffs which may pos-

sibly be COnsidered as indirect sources of

energy are gelatine, soluble meat ex-

tracts, etc. In a general way, food stuffs

are considered those substances which

are taken into the system to replace the

loss which is always going on in the

body. From t‘lllS general definition we

might conclude or infer that one of the

most important food stuffs. is water, and

yet water in itself is not capable of yield—

ing energy or of performing work, al-

though it‘1 is of use in the performance! of

practically all of the normal functions of

the body.



The Oxidation of Food.



Generally speaking, for a food stuff to

yield energy to the body it must be cap-

able of oxidation. The albumin, or egg

white, represents such a substance. Up—

on entering the body it' is attacked by

the digestive juices of the body, and split

off into its various simpler products which

are transported to the cellular tissues

and upon the subsequent performance of

work this albuminous material is acted

upon by the oxygen which is conveyed in

the blood, is oxidized, or burned—in com-

mon terms~and is subsequently excreted

in a more or less completely oxidized

condition.



Let us take another example. Sugar,

when taken into the system in food is

absorbed and carried into the blood and

transported to the cellular tissues of the

body where, upon the creation of a de-

mand, for instance, to furnish heat to

keep up the temperature of the body, it

is 'in turn attacked by the oxygen car-

ried in the blood and oxidized or burned

in the tissues, thereby producing heat.

The end products of this burning, or ex-

idation, or in other words, the products





of combustion—the gases of combustion—

are dissolved again in the blood and‘car-

ried to the organs of exeretion in a com-

pletely oxidized condition. So that,

whereas the sugar entered the body in a.

state such that it was susceptible to oxi-

dation, in left the body in a condition

capable of no further oxidation. In going

through this transformation, it yielded to

the body the energy Which it desired,

which, in this instance, was energy in

tlhe form of heat.

Why Water is Not a True Food.



Now, manifestly, any product which

enters the body in so completely an oxi-

dized condition as that same product

must leave the body cannot be considered

in the true sense a food. An example of

such a product is water. Water is pres—

ent in all food stuffs and water is an ab-

s-o’lutely necessary adjunct to the food

supply. Likewise, water takes part in

the exercise of, we- may say, practically

every function of the body. But Water

in its true sense cannot be considered a

food because it enters the body in exact-

ly the sanie condition in which it leaves

the body. In other words, in a complete-

ly oxidized condition. It takes just as

much energy to burn water in the body

as would be obtained as a result of that

burning, and consequently the net ener—

gy remaining after water has been con-

sumed in the body is nil. There are many

examples of substances which enter the

body, or into food products, and which

take- part in the performance of the var-

ious functions of the body which might

be called properly accessories to food,

but which cannot be considered food Sub-

stances in the strict application of the

term.



Three Classes of Food.



XVe have, then, three main classes of

food stuffs: First, those substances. which

serve as sources of energy and which

can, and do, replace the worn out con—

stituents of the body; second, those which

serve only as sources of energy but which

cannot replace the worn out constituents

of the body; third, those which serve to

repair waste tissues but which do not act

as sources of energy nor take part in rei-

placing the exhausted constituents of the

body. and which in a sense, We have said

are not true food stuffs at all but may

be considered as accessories to food. In

the first. class we will include proteids; in

the second, the carbohydrates and fats;

in the third, water and the inorganic

salts.





 





LABORATORY REPORT.





 





Drying Peat for Fuel.





I have two acres of peat, and would

like information in regard to same. How

is it dried for fuel, and what is its worth

when dried?



Genesee Co. XV. H. M.





Regarding above queiry, relative to the

drying of peat for fuel purposes, will say

that! the prevailing methods depend prac-

tically upon the air drying of peat for it

is net worth enough commercially to pay

for artificially drying it. I’eat is not as

yet a commercial success in this coun—

try, because other fuel is still plentiful

enough so that the use of peat is: not a

profitable proposition.



’ Cider- Vinegar.



Please l](‘t me know the quickest meth-

Od of making cider vinegar.



Tuscola Co. A. H.



The quickest method for making cider

vinegar is the one in use by most vine-

gar manufacturers at the present time,

namely, the treating of the cider with

a culture of yeast and keeping it moder-

ately warm encourages the conversion of

nearly all of the sugar into alcohol. This

alcoholic menstrum is then allowed to

trickle into large vats or generators,

lthrough beech shavings, in which proc-

ess the alcohol is converted into acid.

This requires a comparatively short pe-

riOd of time. and is what is known as

the “quick vinegar process." It has been

performed a number of times on asma’ll

scale and with a little patience ca" be

made quite successfully.



A combination of corn and soy bean

silage makes a more evenly balanced

feed than corn silage alone. It should





not be inferred that a mixture 'of the

two crops will make it unnecessary or

unprofitable to feed grain in the ration,

but In practice it has been found pos-

sible to reduce the amount of grain fed

to dairy cows and .maintain the milk

flow if a portion of the ensilage consists

of soy bean fodder. The digestibility of

soy beans compare-s favorably with that

of alfalfa and clover.

to send their money to a concern

hundreds of miles away for a

taking too many chances.





And there’s not a pmmy to be

saved by taking such chances.

THE MICHIGAN : FARMm-o:





STOCK '





PROVIDING A WINTER HOME FOR

THE PIGS.



On farms where pigs are not kept

comfortable during the winter, and this

is more often the case where. a large

number are kept than where but few are

'to provide for, they do not make the

growth desired and the feed bill sums up

to no small amount. In fact, much feed

is really thrown away. When Spring

comes the pigs do not look much better

than they did at the approach of win-

ter. Of course, there are two losses. A

loss in 'the' growth of the pigs, and a loss

of feed, to say nothing of the time and

labor expended in feeding the animals.

It is needless to say that in order to

make a profit from fall or‘winter pigs,

comfortable quarters must be provided

for them. This applies especially to the

pigs and young hogs, but the older ani—

mals appreciate a comfortable sleeping

place as well.



Every perfectly satisfactory piggery

for Winter use must be well lighted from

the south, east or west. If from all

three directions, so much the bcttcr.

Dire-ct sunlight, rather than diffused

light, is what is required to insure health

and aid in sanitation.



\Yarmih is another important feature.

'\\ ails such as are described below will,

othcr conditions being favorable. prove

sufficiently non—conductive. Warmth

must never be secured at the expense of

pure air. Pure. air is more to be sought

than a. high temperature in winter quar-

ters. '



Freedom from moisture on the WiillS

and ceiling is another important require-

ment. This may be insured by proper

construction of the walls and ceiling, and

by pcrfcct ventilation. The walls and

ceiling should bc built with a. dead air

ispucc. This space should have building

lpaper on both sides of it; that is. a wall,

starting from the outside, should consist

of one-inch lumber, tar paper, studding,

tar paper, one-inch lumber. A similar

construction is called for in the ceiling.



Another factor affecting bile freedom of

a piggery from moisture is the materials

used in the construction of the walls and

floor. Wood, althougn not as durable as

some other materials, is best suitcd for

the walls. Cemcnt blocks, or hollow ce-

ment 'walls, are very satisfactory. VVood-

en floors are a constant source of an-

noyance on account of the rapidity with

which they wcar out and the practical

impossibility of kccping them clean. Co-

ment floors are too damp, but :1 cement

feeding lloor, with a good, light: wood-

iloorcd sleeping room will prove satis-

factory.



A sufficient and effective system of

ventilation is another very important re-

quirement. The air should be admitted

in such a way as not to allow the cold

air to come in direct contact with the

pigs, and the foul uir had better be re-

moved from near the floor. The most

practical system of eutilation in use is

the King, and can be as well used in a.

properly constructed piggery as in the

dairy barn c" any other building.



Drainage is one of tho prime necessi-

ties of a good piggcry. The pen lloors

should be built to slopc either to or from

the passage: two inches in 12 feet will

be found ample pitch. If it slopes to tho

passugc, a. small drain will be necessary

down each side of the passage. If it

slopes from the passage a drain all along

the back of the pens and under the beds

will be necessary. rl‘he better plan is,

usually, where it slopes to the passage

and runs along it to some undcrground

drain.



Partitions are of considerable import—

ance. For these I have no doubt that

wood is the most satisfactory material.

For partitions next the passage wire has

some advantages. Very strong wire, well

stayed by numerous strong uprights,

s‘hould Ilc used. \Vire partitions are of

value in making a. pen light and airy,

but. are a disadvantage in leaving the

pigs more exposed to drafts.



Many and various are the styles of

wall and roof that are advocated. The

roof plan, lighting and ventilation are so

closely related that they should be con-

sidered at one and the same time. The

common half—pitch roof, with the win-

dows placed as high as the eaves will

allow on both sides, and as low as safe

for the pigs, is good. Such a building

shOuld run north and south. A roof that

has met with considerable favor is the





   





 





 





- .dauble..SM-&9er~ The. two parenteral





roof should have the" same pitch and be

of the same length. The wall on one

side should be three or four feet higher

than that on the Other side, so that there

may be a drop of three or four feet be-

tween the higher and lower parts of the

roof at the center of the building. Such

a building. shOuld have the upper window

face the south.

THE SILO AND THE LABOR PROB-

LEM.



The introduction of the silo into the

farming communities of this section, has

wrought the most: rapid and wide-spread

innovation of recent years. Three years

ago, the silos in this and neighboring

localities did not exceed a‘half dozen in

number. Today, they are counted by the

hundreds. One dealer alone, has sold 52

of these structures, this season. Some

farmers who erected silos two years

ago, have put up others this year. In—

deed, so common have these tall, cylin-

drical structures-become, that the farm

without one, will soon be a marked ex—

ception.



Perhaps the tardiness in the introduc-

tion of the silo into the farming com-

munities here, was due- in large measure,

to the fact that this is one of the chief

sheep-feeding sections in southern Mich-

igan. The; :feueders of western lambs

steered clear of the silo, and considered

it of no use in their business. But ex-

}:erlcnce has proved the fallacy of this,

and now the big sheep—feeders are among

the most enthusiastic advocates of the

silo. In many neighborhoods, the farm-

ers have purchased jointly, an cnsilage

cutter which does the work for the im-

mediate locality.



in attempting to explain the rapidity

with which the silo has come into gen-

crul use in this section, one important

factor must not be overlooked. This is

the scarcity of labor and the difficulty

experience-d by farmers in recent years,

in caring for thc corn crop. Farm labor

is hard to get and it has bcen a puzzling

and strenuous task, of late, for farmers

to get the corn husked at any price. be-

fore the setting in of winter. The intro-

duction of the silo has solved the prob—

lem, and the corn crop is harvested in

a few days instead of weeks.

GOOD HORSES NEEDED BY THE

ARMY.





 





In a recent interview Major General

Leonard “lood pointed out the fact? that

who shortugu of suitable horscs for the

army has reached a serious stage.



“l‘mriug ihc twenty-six yczirs of my

expm‘ieucc.” he said, “there has been a.

gradual falling off in the quality of re-

.mounts. “'0 need about 2,000 new horses

each year, but they are exceedingly hard

to obtain, although we have officers and

agents scouring the country every day.

They manage to pick up a fair horse now

and then. but the. horses here are not

nearly so good in quality as the European

cavalry horses.



“‘In time of war. there is an annual

wastage of at least 70 per cent in the

men, and a. much grenter one among the

horses. That war is at trying ordeal on

horses was shown when the French in—

vude‘d Russia with 80.000 horses and

brought back only 1,000. During the Rom-

war agents of Great Britain came to this

country and bought 100.000 horses. In

Australia and Argentina they got 200.—

000 more, and this from a country well

equipped with breeding farms.



“Although there are 23.000.000 horses

in this country, not more than 300,000 are

suitable for the renmount service, and I

believe that in the event of war we

should be without suitable horses and

would have to send to other countries for

them or utilize whatever may be avail-

able.” G. E. M.





The wool outlook is very encouraging,

with nowhere near enough grown in the

l'nited States to supply the needs of the

manufacturers, while the foreign output

is greatly lewered, ustraiia being re-

ported short frOm 200,000 to 300,000 bales.

This is approximately a shortage of

around 100,000,000 lbs. Millions of grown

sheep and lambs perished in the recent

drought in that country.





 





Correction—In the recent two-page ad-

vertisement of The S. R. Fell Company

it was stated that the Ohio Experiment

Station had endorsed the product of this

firm. The above named company, in its

desire to adhere strictly to all facts, has

since requested us to announce that this

reference was made by mistake. .

HOW TO FEED CULL BEANS TO

‘, HOGS. '





Please tell me which is the best way

to feed cull beans to hogs. cooked or raw?

Leelanau Co. I. G.

Ordinarily it does not 1ay to cook feed

for hogs. COrn, cats, barley, wheat, or

any of those kinds of foods will be di—

gested just about as thoroughly, and the





hogs will do just about as well when

they are fed in a raw condition. Some

Of them, like the smaller grains, should





be ground; otherwise they are not prop-

erly masticated, but with corn I do not

believe it is necessary to even grind it.



When it comes to beans, it is entirely

different. Hogs don’t like raw beans very

well. Cooking adds material-1y t0 the

palatability of beans, and SO experience,

as well as careful experiments, has prov-

en that it pays to cook beans when they

are to be fed to hogs. This is usually

so, too, when they are fed to fattening

steers. It adds to the palatability, and

also to the digestibility, if they are boiled

0r cooked. It: is a good plan in feeding

cull beans to cook them and mix meal

with them; or add some boiled potatoes.

If you have unmarketable potatoes that

can be cooked at the same time: and mix-

ed with the beans it will help to balance

the ration and make both potatoes and

beans more palatable. If you haven’t

the potatoes, then you, can cook the beans

and mix them with middlings, or ground

barley, or corn meal until you have a

good thick slop. in this way you will get

the greatest benefit from thcni. If you

intend feeding them raw you will find

that the hogs will not eat them with a

great deal of relislh, nor will they eat

cnough of them to promote as ralliCl

growth as one would desire.



COLON C. LILLIE.





LIVE STOCK NOTES.





 





The recent course of the hog market at

Chit-ago and other leading receiving

points has demonstrated that the former

rapid boom was overdone, causing a. re-

action in prices. The packers have acted

as a unit, which is nothing new, and

they have succeeded in accomplishing

some large reductions in hog values, all

descriptions selling off materially. At

the same time, all deseriptions of cured

meats and lard have sold off in sympathy

with the declines in the raw material. On

some days hogs have declined as much as

150 per 100 -lbs., in spite of small receipts,

the absence of an eastern shipping de—

mand being taken advantage of by the

Chicago packing fraternity to smash the

market. For instance, on a recent Tues-

day only about 27,000 hogs arrived in the

Chicago Stock yards, yet prices dropped

15c, and the close of the day saw 12,000

hogs still unsold, part of them the ac—

cumulations of several days.



Many sitlockmcn have been withholding

their hogs, in order to take advantage of

the promised chcapness of feed to put

plenty of fat on their frames. This points

to much larger supplies of lard hogs lat—

e1 on, p10vided ownus do not become

panic stricken before long by the down-

ward course of prices and market their

holdings without further delay.



There are evidences that many western

farmers have been buying cattle for feed-

ing the approaching winter but the

greater part of the cattle are said to

have been puichased with a View of win-

ter 1oughing, the (attle to be carIied

through the following summer and tin—

ished for butlchcring in the autumn of

1913. Iowa stockmcn have been buying .‘l

good many cattle in Kansas City and

Omaha and it is known that Kansas and

South Dakota have bcen receiving a good

many stocker and feeder cattle for sev-

eral weeks. Texas has been forwarding

a good many yearlings to Montana. where—

as it was the practice in former years to

ship 'l‘cxa‘s two~year—olds to the nonthern

ranges. These cattle will be marketed

as three—year-olds instcad of four-year-

olds as formerly.



The practical certainty that corn will

be offered at low prices in feeding dis-

tricts the approaching winter is spur-

1ing hundreds of farmers in the states

compIising the (0111 belt to stock up so

far as they are able to do so with (attic

and hogs. In poxtions of such states as

Michigan, Indiana and Ohio manV farm—

ers are going to feed flocks of lambs or

sheep t‘he mutton industry looking very

promising. All grains are much cheaper

than a year ago, and there is plenty of

roughage nearly evenwhero Of late

cm for future deliveiy has been selling

on the Chicago Boaid of 'l‘1ade as much

as 14¢ per bu. loue1 than a year ago,

while oats have sold all of, 160 lower but

wheat is about 5c. higher than at that pe-

riod Old corn is being hurried to mar-

ke.t by farme1s and othe1 owners about

as rapidly as transportation can be pro-

Cured, there being a great scarcity of

freight cars in some pants of the coun-

fly, and owners evidently think it best

to get rid of their old corn beifme the

premium offereld over prices fo1 the new

crop disappears. It is generally thought:

by well- informed men on this matter

that, by the end of the season old corn

supplies throughout the. farming dis-

tricts will be out of rthe way, so that

cribs will be emp’tir and ready f0r re-

ceiving the new crop. From now on

farmers want steady cold and dry weath-

er. Some husking has been done and a

little of the new crop has been shipped

to market.

Nodular Disease—One month ago I





bought a young ewe: she was rather thin.

but i turned her in good clover; she gain-

ml rapidly. but seemed short of breath.

l decided to kill her for food: in Skin-

ning her I thought hide came off too eas—

ily: when we opened her we found largo

intestines throughout their whole length.

covered with hundreds of small growths

varying: in size from a pea to a large kid-

ney bean. llcr lungs. liver and small in-

tostines were not diseased. ller appetite

was good. she did not couch, but we

thought her flesh had a peculiar odor and

of course did not use the carcass for

food. \V. D. K.. Shabona. Mich—Your

cwo suffered from nodular disease. a par-

asitic bowel trouble which. when in the

:idVanced stages. cannot be succesfuily

treated, but it is astonishingr how well

many sheep are, and how good they ap—

pear. when the bowels are in a badly

diseased condition. This, of course, is

on account of their being fairly well fed

and receiving good care. If you have any

more, a-.illg sheep. give a teaspoonful of

ground gentian and 1A; teaspoonf'ul salt

at a dose in feed or as a drench twice

a day.

a bunch on face. midway between nos-

tril and eye. thatl is hard. I have applied

both mild and severe remedies which

have not reduced it. J. D. M.. Pincon-

ning. Mich—Apply one part iodine in 10

parts fresh lard three times a week.



Chronic Diarrhoea.-—'Shecp have been

purging for past: three months. Local

Vet. prepared treatment for them. some

sulphur in it, but I fail to notice any im-

provement. These sheep pastured on low

ground until some tw0 months ago. A.

E. S.. VVilliamston. Mich—Mix together

ginger. cooking soda. gentian and char-

coal and give each sheep at teaspoonful

at a, dose in ground feed twice a day.

it is good practice to give each of them

1 oz. of cast-or oil and 2 ozs. of olive oil——

one dose only—to clear out bowels.

INTENSIVE GARDENING UNDER IR-

RIGATION.





 





 





 





At the close of the season it is but

natural that We survey the. past, review

.our successes and failures, note our mis—

takes find estimate our profits. After 40

years spent in general farm operations,

the past four haVe been spent in a kind

of half—retirement on a few acres, with

just enough work to keep from rusting.



When we bought this place four years

ago, it was in a dilapidated condition.

The land had been badly handled, the

buildings needed repairs, there was no

lawn, and the few 'fruit trees were grown

up with suckers and had many dead

limbs.



The soil is a gravel loam, underlaid

with gravel, and is workable soon after

the heaviest rains. By the application

of 15 or 20 leads of stable manure each

year, per acre, the turning under of

green crops, mostly rye, and by the use

of some commercial fertilizer, home mix-

ed, we feel that we are now in condition

to begin to get some pleasure out of our

labor, and at thesame time realize a

profit. On account of the character of

our soil. we are enabled to get our crops

1n quite early, and as we grow vegetables

and garden fruits, such as berries, we

aim at earliness, our local market taking

most of our produce.



It has been our custom to grow early

cabbages or early potatoes and follow

with a. crop of celery. Our early cab-

bage plants are started in the fall, the

seed being SOWn about the 15th of Sep-

tember. In about a month they are usu-

ally large enough to transplant into cold

frames. If the seed is sown much ear-

lier than the time I have specified, the

plants might make too much growth and

when set out in the Spring, instead of

forming heads, would run to seed. \Vhen

set in the cold frame the middle of Oc-

tober, they have. time enough to strike

root before cold weather, but it is not

intended that they make much growth

while in the frame. For this reason the-y

can be set quite thick. We usually plant

about 2,500 in a 6x6-ft. frame. After

they are put in the frames they are left

exposed, except in case of quite cold

weather, when the sashes are put on

until they get a root hold, after which

they are gradually exposed to the cold

to harden them. When the weather be—

comes quite frosty, the sashes are kept

on at night and removed during the day

unless quite cold. XVhen gradually in-

nured to the cold in this way, they ac-

quire a blue-like appearance, which in-

dicates their hardiness. \Vhen the

weather has become cold and the plants

are frozen, they will need some protec-

tion, other than that glass. We use pieces

of old carpet or burlap bags spread over

the sash. After they are frozen and the

soil in which they stand is frozen, they

should be kept pretty close, and may

remain covered with snow for days or

even weeks, at a time. But should a.

thaw occur, by keeping them too close,

)some root. action might begin which

would reduce their hardiness and a se-

vere freeze following might kill them. In

case of a thaw or if there is no frost

in the bed, we expose them to the: air,

as much as pOSsible, taking care that

the sun does not shine on them when

frozen.



Carried through the winter in this way

they are in condition to set in the open

ground just as soon as it can be got in

condition in the spring. Two years ago

we were able to get them out in March

and the first head was cut the 17th of

June, being very early for the vicinity of

Albany, N. Y. \Ve start our early pota-

toes in the house, placing them in shal-

low boxes in March. They start strong,

stocky sprouts by early April, at which

time we aim to put them in the ground,

care being taken that the pieces con-

taining one eye each be carefully placed

so that the sprout be uppermost. We

plant in rows 30 inches apart and 12

inches apart in the row, as when one

eye is planted, they may be planted

closer than the old way. Being well

sprouted they come 11D filliCk and seem

to grow with more vigor than when

sprouted in the ground. This year we

had them earlier than ever before, dig—

ging the. first mess on June 12. They

were not' very large then but by the

first of July they were dug and market-

ed, being of good size;

do not.-‘replow..,but the soilisvgputfiin good

condition with the harrow. This year

however. I have experimented, by spad-

ing to the depth of a spading fork,

throwing the soil out and spreading some

well rotted manure supplemented with

a sprinkling of nitrate of soda in the

row, mixing it well with the soil, and

then returning the soil thrown out, and

set the plants. Treated in this way they

have shown a vigor and growth of stalk,

that’we believe well repays the extra

labor. They are set about six inches

apart in the rows, the rows being four

and a half feet apart, which gives ample

room for banking. We never' trench, as

in this way we would place the roots

down too near the gravel subsoil, and as

the distance between the rows allows

plenty of space for banking we do not

need the trench. Celery is mostly grown

on reclaimed swamp land as the water

level is usually near enough to the sur—

face to be carried by capillary action to

the roots of the plants and the succu-

lence of celery depends upon its abundant

water supply. We haVe overcome the

need of these conditions, by the use of

a gasoline engine and pump, drawing the

water from a, brook and distributing it

by inch and a half pipe to where it is

needed. The pipe is laid along the up-

per part of the ground, and at every 50

feet T’s are placed to which a 50-foot

hose is attached. It was the original

plan to lead the water by gravity in fur-

,rows along the nows, but experience

taught me that the porous nature of the

ground drank up the water supply be-

fore it could travel the distance required.

To obviate this we haVe “V” shaped

troughs made of light boards and in

which holes are bored, placed on sup—

ports over the rows. The hose is simply

laid in these at the upper end of the

field and as the water runs down the in—

cline it trickles through the: holes and

On the plants. By using two runs of

troughs, one can be moved to the next

row while the water is running and in

this way all that is necessary is to

change the end of the hose to the wait—

ing trough and thus save time. “'8 have

given the arrangement a trial this sea-

son and are well pleased with the result

as our celery on higher land is fully as

good as on the lOWer land which here-

tofore was not that case. The engine is

a horse and a half power and the ca-

pacity of the pump 2,000 gallon's per

hour We haVe about; two acres which

we can thus irrigate and the cost of in-

stallation is about $160.

ANNUAL MEETING OF MICHIGAN

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.





The Forty—second Annual] Meeting of

the State Horticultural Society is to be

held in the Fountain Street Baptist

Church, Grand Rapids, November 12, 13

and 14. This date and place was select—

ed so that the meeting might be held in

conjunction with- the Michigan Apple

Show of that week. One trip and one

expense will thus allow fruit men to

enjoy both these great gatherings.



The first day will be devoted to a

“School for Beginners in Fruit growing.”

when experts will discuss the site, nur-

sery stock, draining, planting, pruning,

cultivation, spraying, varieties. etc.



\Vednesday forenoon the senior students

at M. A. C. will hold their speaking con-

test, each speaker limited to five min-

ites, the subjects covering various prac-

.ical lines of fruit growing. This has

l‘lways been one of the features of the

.nnual meeting and, being for $60 in

cash prizes, is we'll wortlh hearing.



Robert Thompson, manager of the suc—

cessful marketing association at St.

Catherines, Ont, will explain the meth-

ods they pursue ”and the marketing of

fruits will also be handled by R. G. Phil-

lips, -of Rochester, N. Y., secretary .of the

International Apple Shippers’ Associa-

tion. He will also axplain the new Su‘l—

zer apple Ilaw.



Such fruit experts as Paul Rose, Rol-

and Morrill, Horace Sessions, \V. S. Pul-

len, L. E. Hall, R. H. Graham and T. A.

Farrand, will present new problems in

fruit growing, and Mrs. Paul Rose will

be heard on the work of women in hlorti—

culture. Profs. Eustace, Pettit, Patten,

White and I‘lavlligan, 0f the Agricultural

College, will handle technical subjects.



The annual banquet will be held VVed-

nesday afternoon at 5:30, at St. Cecelia

hall, at 75 cents per ,iate, with some





short, snappy toasts by our best men

and women. Hon. Chas. W. Garfield will

preside.





Discussions on all subjects will be led

by numerous experts and no evening ses-

sions will be held, so that all can have

time to visit the apple show at the

Coliseum.



Programs and any further information

can be secured from Secretary Bassett,

Fennville, Mich.





The Bureau of Plant Industry of the

Department of Agriculture has picked

eight counties in Michigan for the study

of extensive farm management work.

These counties are: Alpena, Montmvor—

cncy, Presque Isle, Kent, Kalamazoo,

Shiawassee, Berrien and Iron.

affec’ted by aii‘biiUSual increase of insect

life; this increase being due, in turn, to

the. inabililly of the useful birds to hold

the destroyers in check. Present state

laws for the protection of game birds,

while fairly effective within their limits,

are deemed insufficient, and the federal

law sought will cover song birds, swal-

lows, woodpeckers, blackbirds, qunil,

doves and nighthawks. The conservation

committee which is urging this legisla-

tion points out that three measures for

the protection of birds are now pending

in Congress, their sponsors being Repre-

sentative VVeekS, ofMassachuseits, Rep-

resentative Anthony, of Kansas, and Sen-

ator McLean, of Connecticut. The \Yeeks

and Anthony measures provide for the

protection of migratory game birds only,

but the McLean bill goes a step fanthc-r

by including all migralory insectivorous

birds. The committee, as well as many

capable studcnts of bird life, regard this

laiicr measure with favor and will en—

deavor to enlist the c0~operation of all

public—spirited organizutions and individ—

uals in bringing about its enactment

into law.

Farmers of Michigan

and adjoining stnies are

suppi‘iscdly iniereslcd in

that system of agricul-

ture popularly known as dry farming

only in so far as its success may affect

the gworld’s production of foodstuffs.

Problemntical, even impossible, as has

seemed the project of adding to the crop-

producing area of lthc country large

tracts of arid and semi—arid land which,

at bcsi, seemed scarcely fit for the graz-

ing of cattle and sheep, it must bc. ud-

mitied that dry farming has taken a

definite place in modern agricultural pro-

gress. As the fundamental principles in-

VOIVE‘Id become bettcr understood and in

ihcir application is rchziled the means

of turning grealt arid stretches of this

and othcr 'c0untries into areas capable

of profitably producing food products. the

advocate of dry farming is regarded as

something more than a mere faddist. It

has long been obvious that irrigation and

moisture conservation offered the only

means of reclaiming those vast areas,

and it has been just as obvious that,

comparatively, only an infinitesimal part

could be reclaimed through the develop

ment of irrigation projects. However,

persistent application of the most highly

developed scientific methods of conserv-

ing in the soil what little natural mois-

ture it receives,

seemed to point the way and dry farming

has gradually come to be regarded~as

the logical helpmeet of irrigation and .3

CROP AND M‘ARKET NOTES.





Emmet Co., Oct. 28.~—Fine weather for

the month. favorable both for the pro-

gress of farm work and the growth of

fa'llfsown grains. Potato crop good and

s'emng at zscnanc; large quantities being

marketed. Corn crop made a fair growth

but very immature, hardly fir to make

good ensilage; lilutle, if any, fit for seed.

Buckwheat made a good crop; other grain





crops fair. New hay $15@17. Farmers

busy with fall work.

Genesee Co., Nov. 2.—-A heavy rain





which turned to snow has put a stop to

the digging of potatoes and beets. Pota-

toes badly rotlted in places; beets a fine

crop. Apples plentiful but no market.

Many silos being filled from a fair crop

of corn. Beans. somewhat injured by

rains but not so badly as last year.

Shortage of help is the worst thing farm-

ers have to contend with at present.

Many are being compelled to leave crops

uncared for on this account.

Where the Country’s Fish





Comes From.

BY E. I. FARRIN‘GTON.





 





Y gracious, they are just like any

M other men,” exclaimed an inland

visitor as she looked at the fish-

T wharf is





T wharf is where the fish are landed.

Consequently, that is the place to see

the modern fisherman as he is, and learn

that he is quite a different character

from the profane old sea dogs the books

have led us to expect.



There isn’t much romance about deep-

sea fishing now-a-days. Modern methods

have put it on a strictly business basis.

The skippers are keen, practical business

men and look the. part. The crew is

made up of sober, industrious, energetic

fellows Who don their oilskins when they

go to sea and work like slaves until the

catch is aboard, and who, when they get

on shore. doff their skins and make a

straight line for home and family. They

work hard, not because a cursing mate

compels them to, but because they get

a percentage, of What the vessel earns in

place of a fixed salary, and that is the

sort of incentive which induces: men to

work hard. They usually prosper, too,

and many of them OWn the houses in

which they live.



It is a difficult matter for the public

to realize the fact, apparently, but Boston

has quite superseded Gloucester as the

center of the fishing industry. Of late

years, a large) proportion of the boats

which formerly 'headed for Gloucester

have sailed into Boston harbor. It is

true that Gloucester still does a large

fishing business, and when a skipper is

unable tio dispose of his catch in Boston

at a satisfactory figure he often runs

down the coast to that quaint old city.

Moreover, Gloucester is still headquarters

for the packing industry and 'the racks of

drying fish never fail to interest visitors.

Admittedly, Gloucester V'prelsents much

that is picturesque, and the flavor of the

sea is always there. Authors and artists

will continue to prefer it to T wharf,

where Uhei commercial aspect of the busi-

ness is most in evidence, even though

Boston has wrested the supremacy from

the quaint old seaport.



The combined fishing fleets of Boston,

Gloucester and New Bedford make a for-

midable array. More «than half of all the

boats engaged in fishing in the entire

United States are owned in New Eng-

land, and over half the fishermen are

New Englanders. Even on the coast of

Alaska there is a fleet of fishing boats

manned by crew's from Boston.



Forty thousand men are engaged in

fishing on the New England coast and

Boston handles 150,000,000 pounds of fresh

fish every year, including lobsters and

clams, with a total value of six million

dollars.



Fifteen hundred vessels are engaged in

deep-sea fishing off the banks of New-

foundland, most of the catch going to

Gloucester to the packing houses, Whence

they are shipped all over the land. The

fishermeln Wiork in dories, using very long

lines. “'hen night comes on the fish are

transferred from the boats to the larger

vessels with pitchférks, after which they

are dressed, the heads being cut off and





the entrails removed. Then they are

split; down the back, soaked in cold wat-





er and shot. down a. canvas chute into

the hold, where they are piled in layers

and covered with salt.



At Gloucester, the fish are removed

with pitchforks and taken into the pack-

ing hiouses alongside the wharves. There

they are submitted to great pressure in

order to remove all the moisture, and

are 'then exposed to the sun and air on

the racks, termed, technically, “flakes."





 





 





 





A Busy Day on Board one





These low racks are made of narrow

strips of wood placed three inches apart,

and the fish on them are exposed to the

dust. as well as the sun. Some of the

packers Ilth‘ tried to cater th sanitary

conditions by drying their fish under

cover, but it is impossible to convince

an old hand at' the business that fish

cured in this manner has as fine flavor





 





of this Country's Fishing Industry.





 





 





of the Larger Fishing Vessels.‘





as rthat which is exposed to outside con-

ditions. If the sun is hot and a strong

breeze is blowing, 24 hours in the open

air may be sufficient, but if conditions

are less favorable, several days may be

required to properly cure the fish.



Sea salt from Sicily is used in the cur-

ing process and over 25,000 tons are im-

ported each year into Gloucester. It will

be seen, therefore, that the: ramifications

of this business are almost world wide.

Experts say that no other salt will take

the place of this sea salt, secured by

evaporation.



The ('llouceste'r packers seem tlo have

taken a leaf from the books of the Chi—

cago meat packers, for nothing is wast-

ed. Cod—liver oil is a. well—known by-

product, but glue, chicken feed, fertilizer

and isinglass for purifying beer come

from what used to be considered simply

waste,



The fishing and packing industry of

Gloucester gives employment to many

girls as well as men, for the boneless and

desiccated codfish of commerce, which is

Shipped to all parts of the. globe, is pre-

pared largely by female help. ltaly and





Spain offer extensive markers for the

sale of codfish, which is satisfied with

the Whole fish, salted and pressed into





bales. Lods’ cheeks and tongues are

special delicacies Which are sold sepa-

rately and are much in demand in this

country.



The fishermen 'of

those of Gloucester, have an association

and headquarters, where the men meet

socially or for busineSS purposes. Bridge

W‘hist is a popular diversion among them,

but many of the skippers are experts at

pool and there are pool tables in the

rooms at; Gloucester, where many hotly-

contested games are played.



There are several reading rooms in

Boston for the fishermen, and entertain-

ments for them are often given. At

Gloucester there is a home for veteran

fishermen.



Although the fisherman of today is. a.

prosperous and reasonably contented in-

dlvidual, his calling is still a dangerous

one an». many a wife sits in dry-eyed

fear while fierce storms rage. Every

year in Gloucester a memorial service is

held f0r the dead who haw: been lost at

sea in the twelve months past. and ail

too often the community is saddened by

messages which tell of individuals or

whole crews buried in the sea.



Yet uhere is less danger than formerly,

for steam trawlers are coming into gen-

eral“ use. and steam is a wonderful im-

provemcnt 1over sails. One danger which

the fishermen particularly dread is that

which is always threatened by the gi-

gantic ocean liners which plow the sea

at great speed. Many a. fishing smack

has been rammed by one of these ocean

ieviathians and has disappeared benewth

the waves, leaving the folks .at home “to

watt in vain for the fathers and husbands

who 'never return. Rudyard Kipling pic-

tures such a. disaster graphically in one

of his books.



No such memorial service as that which

has been held in Gloucester for many

years has been inaugurated in Boston.

Somehow the business there seems to be

absolutely commercialized. Perhaps it

is because there is no room for sen‘ti—

ment 'on T wharf. where its 150,000,000

pounds of fish are annually handled in

a space covering not more than an acre

of ground.

The cloud of insects was gradually be-

“That’s it! They’ll take the noise for

a storm coming and settle for protection

against it,” cried Wattles enthusiastically,

trailing the bees with the ins-tine: of a.

born bee man.



The black cloud began clustering at the

end of a. burr toak branch twenty feet

above ground. Wattles tlhrust his pan

and stick into Sid’s hands and Ciied

THE TEACHINGS.





 





BY ARTHUR W. PEACH.





The roses never wonder

\Vhen skies are Swept with storm

If after clouds’ dark brooding

Shall come the sunbeams warm;

They know that every winter

Ends in the vernal spring,

\Yhen wood and fields and garden

\Vith song birds’ rapture ring.

Only human hearts with sorrow gray

Expect no dawning of a brighter day.





The brooks that laugh and chatter

The dells and meadows through



Have faith that summer’s kindness

Shall bring them rain and dew



To keep their lips from thirsting

As in their icy cells



They knew the spring would free them

From winter's chilly spells.



Only faith of human hearts soon goes;



They dream no spring beneath the wintry



snows.





The nightingale sings sweetest

\thn evening shadows fall;

Then clearest from the thickEBts

The hermit thrushes call;

The robin is most. joyous

And sings his cheery strain

“'11ch winds about him whisper

The. coming of the rain.

Only human hearts soon cease from song

’thn evening comes With rainy twi—

lights long.





From rose, from brook, from bird, these

lessons we can learn,



That, .tlt‘tcr darkest days the brightest



e’er ret'urn,



That in the twilight dusk that lingers

late and long



Our hearts can find true peace, lips sing

their sweetest song!





 





LITTLE FARM FABLES.





BY AUNT QUILLIA.





 





Room at the Top.



A conceited mouse who lived at the

foot of a. silo became disgusted with his

environments and began taking stock of

his qualifications with a view to a rise

in the world.



“The fact is,” thought he, “that this

swarm of new-comers are not only

crowding me out by claiming what few

kernels of corn they can find but they

belong to a class of the most common-

place -of rodents who are in no sense my

equal. By intruding themselves upon me

they are fast exhausting my patience

and destroying the reputation for hos-





pitality for which I have always bl‘t'll

noted.



“I have heard that there is always

room at the top, and am satisfied that

my abilities .will assure me a. place at

the- very summit."



The more he. communed with himself

the more did Squealer become strength-

ened in his convictions and that very

night saw the beginning of his upward

journey.



The obstacles met with would have

disheartened one lacking the ill-grounded

faith 'in himself which our hero possessed,

but through them all he was sustained by

the hope of the happy culmination of his

desires.



Scarcely had be begun the ascent be-

fore the blood-curdling howl of a cat

from the outside nearly unnerved him,

but bracmg himself up he exclaimed, “Go

ahead, Squcaler, there is always room at

the top.”



TVinding his way through the dark re-

cesses of fodder was also most trying;

then again he would lose his hold on the

walls but every difficulty was met by the

same inspiriting counsel, “Don’t give up,

Squealer, there is always room at the

rtop.”



Having reached the goal, he was con-

placently looking around, congratulating

himself on being the monarch of all ht‘

surveyed when suddenly he found himself

(“mifronted by the haughty glance and

commanding figure of Colonel Nibbler, an

agile red squirrel who seemed to be in





possession of the premises.





Approaching the trembling form of

Squeralcr he coolly remarked, “("iood morn-

ing, stranger. You have had a long hard

journey all] for nothing. For hours I have

heard you repeating that old SlilW about

there always being room at the top.

There is another version of it, however,

which, perhaps, you never have heard.

I got it frOm the branch of a tree about

election time last fall.



“As two politicians were passing be-

low me, one of them remarked, ‘Yes, sir,

there is always room at the top—if you

can push the other fellow off,’ “Which

in this case,” added Nibbler, “can’t be

done,” whereupon, seizing Squealer by

the scruff of the neck he landed him at

the foot of the tower.

As you thumb the pages of Montgomery

Ward & Company’s new Catalogue, let your

imagination form a picture of a towering sky-

scraper with its miles and miles of shelves

and counters ladened with choice merchan-

dise, gathered from every ‘section of the

world where human hands or modern ma—

chines are employed in the making of goods

that are bought and sold by the people of

civilized nations.





With your mind’s eye, picture this immense struc-

ture located on the main street of your town.





Think of it as your store—the biggest in your town

——one of the biggest in the world. A store where

almost every conceivable kind of dependable mer-

chandise can be had at remarkably low prices.

Where courtesy and honesty are assured—guaran-

teed by nearly half a century of unimpeachable

merchandising.





As you glance through or study this greatest of all

Catalogues—as you take a word and picture trip

through “the biggest store in your town”—don’t,

even for one brief instant, lose sight of the fact

that every article listed is correctly pictured and

honestly described.



Remember at all times that an untruthful word, a decep-





tive illustration or a misleading statement never has been

found and never will be iound in this big book of Ward‘s.

The Mother’s Place in Her Daughter’s House.





Much has been written of recent years

about the place to be Occupied by old

folks who must make their home: with

their children. Daughters and daugh-

ters-in-law have been admonished in

stories, verse and essays to allow father

and mother to work. They have been

told that the old folks will feel more





let them go wrong again. If someone

else straightens out the tangle she will

not learn the cause, and there will be

precisely the same state of affairs again

to right.



Or perhaps they think she has too

much to do and they fee‘l they must lift

the burden. Suppose she does have to

independent

scheme- Of things,

if allowed a part in the

that they will keep





happier if they keep on working. Sons

and daughters are solemnly asked to put

themselves in the place of parent and

Warned of the time coming when they,

too. will be laid on the shelf.



All very Well and .good. We all admit

that no one with any ambition likes to

feel useless. But is there not something

to be said On both sides? No one, so far

as i can see, has said anything to the

fathers and mothers about their duty,

though all must admit that so long as

they live there will be responsibilities for

them to assume.



It remained for a judge out in Los

Angeles to drive the entering wedge. A

young wife sued for divorce from her

husband, because her husband‘s mother

lived with them and insisted on runningr

the household. The judge told the moth—

er—in-law that the wife was head of the

iiieiiage. and added for the benefit of all

parents, that a father or mother who

lived with a married son or daughter

was a. incr‘e boarder and had absolutely

nothing to say about how things were,

run, no matter how badly the house—

keeper managed.



This will bring cheer to the hearts of

thousands of young wives who are now

being managed by their own mothers or

their husband’s. How many an other-

wise good housekeeper has been spoiled

by the mother or mother-in—law who

lived with her! I firmly believe that

there are few girls who marry who do

not want to become good housekeepers.

Of course, there are always some who

have no ambition, but the average Am-

erican girl likes to see things go and

she wants to make them go herself.

Granted she doesn’t know all she should

about housekeeping when she begins, if

she is left to work out her own salva—

tion she will do it, and in two or three

years will be as good a housekeeper as

the next one. meaning both mother and

mother—in-law.



But how often she is prevented from





learning by the well-meant, but posi—

tively harmful help of her aforesaid

mothers. These good ladies see things





going wrong and they just can’t help

rushing in to right them. If they would

stay out the young wife would right

them herself. She sees they are wrong,

too, and if she learns by her own expe-

rience how to right them she will not





work harder than she did before mar-

riage, perhaps she likes it. There is

such a thing as being. glad to do hard

work because it is to your own work

and you take pride in it. And the av—

erage young woman feels this pride. She

likes to work hard and happily, and then

step back and “view with pride” the

woik of her hands. XVhy should the old

folks rob her of this honest joy? Yet

how often they do because they can not

understand her frame of mind and think

they are doing her a kindness.



How many times in your early strug-





relative- had finished it The help was

kindly meant, but it hurt more than it

helped. You wanted to learn. and how

could you if someone was always going

around finishing up things for you. And

there are dozens of beginners who are

hindered in just this way by the “strang-

ers within their gates.”



Granted the old folks should be allowed

to work. They need the feeling that

they are not dependents. But they

should give the housekeeper some choice

as to what work they should do. In-

stead of dashing ahead and taking the

lead in everything it would be vastly

better for all concerned if-they waited

until they saw what the housewife would

like them to do. Half the friction be-

tween daughter-in-law and mother-in-

law comes from the fact that the older

woman is not willing to let go. It is

hard for her. no doubt, but she should

remember that she has had her day. It

is now the young woman’s turn,

USING PLANTS AND VINES AS

SCREENS.





 





 





m' HILDA RICHMOND.



Although a little late this fall to talk

about using plants and vines for decora—

tive purposes, it is not too late to plant

some of these things for next year’s

pleasure. In fact, late fall is one of the

best times to set. out hardy climbers, or

sow seeds for next year‘s plants. so it is

to he hoped a little advice will not come

amiss at this season. Now is the time,

as well as in spring. to plant asparagus,

one of the best plants for screens and

also one of the most profitable, trumpet

creeper, hollyhocks, bitter sweet and var-

ious other things that will cover Old

sheds and unsightly fences with a wealth

of beauty next season. And in the fall

the housewife is apt to have more time

and to find the ground in better condi-

tion, than if she waits until next spring.



l'lollyhock plants set out now will bloom

next year, whereas if the seeds are plant-

ed next spring the, first. season will be

spent mostly in getting a start. A beau-

tiful border of hollyhocks is a thing of

beauty and one that need cost very little

iiioncy. Trumpet creepers are rapid

climbers and may be had for the asking

of those who grow them. Honeysuckles

"PROUD and GLAD”





Because Mother Looked So Well Alter

Quitting Collee.





An Ohio woman was almost distracted

with coffee dyspepsia and heart trouble.



Like thousands of others, the drug

——caffeine——in coffee was slowly but

steadily undermining her nervous system

and interfering with natural digestion

of food. (Tea is just as injurious as

coffee becauSe it contains caffeine, the

poisonous drug found in coffee).



“Far 30 years," she writes, “I have

used coffee. Have always been sickly-—

had heart trouble and dyspepsia with

ulcers in stomach and mouth so bad,

sometimes, I was almost distracted and

could hardly eat a thing for a week.



"I could not sleep for nervousness, and

when I would lie down at night I’d

belch up coffee and my heart would

trouble me. It was like poison to me.

I was thin—only weighed 125 lbs, when

I quit coffee and began to use Postum.



“From the first day that belching and

burning in my stomach stopped. I

could sleep as soundly as anyone and,

after the first month, whenever I met

any friends they would ask me what. was

making me so fleshy and looking so well.



“Sometimes, before I could answer

{luick enough, one of the. children or my

husband would say, ‘Why, that is what

I’ostum is doing for her’—they were all

so proud and glad.



“\thn I recommend it to anyone I

always tell them to follow directions in

making I’Ostum, as it‘ is not good to taste

if weak. but fine when it has the flavor

and rich brown color." Name given by

climber and gives a wealth of berries in

the fall. City people appreciate the bit-

ter sweet more than country residents

for they scour the country for miles

around and almost tear the vines out! by

the root in their eagerness to get the

lovely berries.



Clematis, roses and various other vines

well repay the woman who sets them' out

and caster beans, cosmos and other tall

annuals do well against old buildings or

in front of tumble down fences. The

common pumpkin and squash vines will

clamber over refuse and rubbish piles in

a most gratifying manner. but, of course.

they can not be planted in the fall. They

may be left f0r next May or June, while

the more hardy vines receive attention

this fall.



It costs only a little trouble to have a

beautiful back yard as well as an attrac—

tive front one, so a little effort now will

be well repaid next summer. Dig up the

vines with as much earth as possible and

water them if the weather is very dry.

Nature will attend to the rest. and next

summer your little backyard wilderness

will blossom as the rose for your pleasure

and the admiration of all who behold it.





DIET—No. 2. -





How Children Should Be Fed.





When one considers the care With VVhiCh

we feed our stock and the study we give

’to food values when we wish to raise

prize horses. sheep, cattle. etc.. it is

strange indeed. that we give so little

heed to what we eat ourselves. Anything

seems to be good enough for the human

animal, provided his appetite is appeased,

and we seldom stop to consider whether

we are getting the mOSt nourishment for

the least expenditure, whether our ra-

tion is properly balanced or whether we

are eating too much or too little. And

yet our health, strength and happiness

depends more upon what we eat than

upon anything else.



It is really appalling to one who has

given’ any thought and study to the mat-

ter to see how ignornnxt or careless the

average mother is about feeding her chil-

dren. And yet, the child's future de-

pends largely upon what he is gchn to

eat when he is small. Injudicious feed-

ing may mean ll weakened constitution,

and this, of course, means that the child

is to fall short of the success which he

might attain with robtist 'health.





Milk shOuld be the sole article of food

for babies until they are seven months

old. Yet how often we see babies of four

and five months taken to the table and

given a taste of everything the adults

were eating, even to tea, coffee and pick—

les. Nothing could be worse for the

child. Tea and coffee should ncvcr bc

given to children of any age. for they

contain a stimulant which affects the

child‘s nervous organization.



At the age of seven months a little

starch may be given, but this should be

in the form of a! dry cracker or a bit of

dry toast to nibble nil. Thoroughly cook-

ed ricc, not more than u tablespoonful at:

first with a bit of sugar and milk. may

be added during this month, or farina.

tapioca, or any of the easily digested

cercals we cut in the morning. Oatmetl

is harder to dikest than any of the other

cereals, though it is held up so much as

the model food. There. are some babics

who can digest it, but most mothers find

cereals madc from what far bc‘ttcr. You

can decide for yourself by watching the

effect of l‘ll(' food on the baby‘s bowels,

and nothing if undigested particles arc

present in the stool.



Potatoes should not bc fed to the baby

'under one year old and many children

can not digest them properly under two

years. This is usually one of the first

things fed to the inl'unl. many babies

four and five months old being given

quantities of mashed potatocs. Yet, po-

tat starch is the hardest of any to di-

gest. and the mothcr who really wants

to do her child a kindness will omit It

from the dietary for a year at least.





Aftcr the first year eggs should be ad-

dell to the things fed the child. begin-

‘nlng with only a half an egg and adding

more us he grows and needs more food.

Beef broth, and a little finely minced or

scraped beef may be given, a little orange

juice, scraped apples or baked apple.

bread and buttlcr. a very litt‘e jelly and

jam, and occasionally a l)"liil cook}: or

graham wafer. Pie, rich putldin.','.<. cake

and all heavy pastry should religiously be

kept from young children. Nor should

they be allowed to eat freely of candy.

Children at this age, of'course, want all

the sweets (they see. but this is no rea-

son for giving them. One piece of candy





 





THE MICHIGAN FARMER. (15)





mon Wild Mite“ sweet is- a wonderful, a,day is sufficient. and» no more should '_





be given no matter how much baby cries

for it. After he is uhree years old, other

things may be added, if they are well

chewed, as green peas, and beans, as—g

pliragus, spinach and celery. Of course,‘

during the second and third year chicken

may be given as well as beef, and lamb

or mutton. Fresh pork is not ‘so good”

though: bacon is now considered a fine

food for young children, especially ner—

vous ones.



It should be the mother’s care not to

feed too much of one th.ng. More than

one-half of the food should be starch, or

sugar, with starch largely in excess of

sugar; the larger part of the remainder

should be protein, and fats and minerals

should make up the rest. Do not let a

child eat one food. as potatoes, or bread

and jam, or a cereal, to the exclusion of

all .others. Starches are fattening and

the mother who sees her baby growing

fat on farina, alone, for instance, natur-

ally‘ thinks he is being properly fed. But

fat is not always a sign of perfect‘health,

and the fat baby is not necessarily the

correctly fed baby. He should have. with

the cereal, which is starch, a certain

amount of milk and eggs or meat to fur-

nish tissues as well as fat.





Children should never be allowed to

eat exclusively one food just because they

like it and cry for it. I have known

mothers to let a four-year-old child con-

sume a half a glass of peanut butter at

one meal. Yet that amount of the buo-

ter would have been too much for two

adults to take at one meal. This is

merely an illustration of the foolish way

in which the average American child is

allowed to eat. If he likes a thing and

whines for it he gets it. How many

children make a breakfast of countless

slabs of bread and butter dipped in 00—

coa, or, worse still, coffee, just because

“that is the only thing Johnny will eat.”

Many more wash down a dozen pancakes

with two or three cups of coffee, though

both things should be strictly forbidden

them. If, instead, the child was given

a dish of cereal. a soft-cooked egg and

A bit of toast or bread and butter with

«a glass of milk, his hcalth, manners and

his mother's nerves would be vastly im-

proved.



Thu same thing applies to every meal.

Children are allowed pie, rich cake,

greasy meals, swocts 01' all sorts and, in

fact, everything the adult eats. Instead

they should be confincd to simple foods,

the easily digcstcd vcgctables, custards,

cereals, bread and milk. ctc. No mother





 





would givc hcr child a cup of boiling;

water to drink if he cried for it, yct a

sculdcd mouth would not hurt so much}

in the end as the ruined stomach he will1

gct from eating the conglomeration of.

foods she allows him.



Insanity in eating and drinkingr is one.

of the greatest faults of Americans. and

to it may be charged the nervousness

which is the. nation's curse. It is high,

time that thinking mothers saw to what'

their carelessness is loading, and turned

their attention to feeding the children,

propenly. '

creams when beaten in a saucer. Re-

move. from the tire and beat until quite

cool, add vanilla llavoring and put on the

cake. This can also be used as an ex-

tra good fudge recipe.



I use this same t-ake recipe for a spice

cake by omitting the flavoring and ad-

ding spices and a little New Orleans m0-

lasses.



If a leopard cake is desired divide the

plain batter into two parts. leave one

plain and add spices and molasses to the

other and put the batter in a long nar-

row tin. I usually use a bread tin, by

large spoonfuls alternately dropping here

and there in tin. For a fruit cake I use

the plain batter and add more spices and

molasses than for spice cake and add

raisins after being dredged in flour to

prevent their going to the bottom. Bake

this slowly.



A very good way to use a few scraps

of vegetables whitth may have been left

over from a meal or just coming into

bearing, is in a vegetable salad. The fol-

lowing may be. used: Itieetl potatoes,

cucumbers, celery, tomatoes, onions. rad-

ishes, (‘Httl{('<l string lit-ans. peas and

beets, but the latter must be added just

before serving to prompt eoloring. Mix

these, or whatever ingredients you hap-

pen to l1th~ or prefer, altogether. add

salt to taste. pour a. mayonnaise dressing

over it and serve \ery cold on lettuce

Boiled Mayonnaise Dressing.



One teaspoon salt. one teaspoon mus—

tard, one tablespoon sugar, one and a

half cups vinegar, one egg beatetn. three

tablespoons melted butter, half cup of

adding vinegar very slowly. Cook mix-

ture until it thickens, stirring constantly.

Cool before using. This will keep for

something to keep me busy. I'd like

keeping them just for the fun of it.





They’d be no trouble. You don’t have to

feed, them, you know.”





“That's the beauty of it!” exclaimed

Sid, (,lisrcgarding Hornbiill’s frown of dis-

approval. “Tcll you what I’ll do, Mr.





\Vuttles. I‘ll go into partnership with

youon bces. I’ll furnish the capital and

you the. experience and labor; we’ll divide

the profits."



“Oh, I couldn’t do that!" protested

\Vatts. “They wouldn’t be mucn work,

except at swarming season.”



\Vould you take a third of the profits

thcn?"



“thy, yes, if that’s fair.”



“I think,” said Sid, turning to Horn—

bill, “our first investment toward making

that; hundred thousand dollars out of this

farm will be one thousand dollars in bees.

and a thoroughly modern beviary, or

whatever it’s called. I’ve three hundred

dollars left from my allowance and you

say you'll sell the barley this week for

eight hundred.” Sid was about add a

waveiring “What do you think?” when he

realized the new necessity thrust upon

him and finished: “I'll write for lice lit-

erature today and we'll begin as soon as

possible."



”It's too late for any more honey this

year," said W’atts sadly. “The best of

it’s been made. I’ll have to get some

bee’s bread to keep this new swarm over

winter."



"Yes, it’s an impracticable idea, Sid-

ney," put in Hornbill positively. “You

better invest in farming or good mort-

gages; besides, we’ll need some of that

cash to pay feed bills, and nobody around

hero ever keeps more than two Or three

hives.”



“That will make it all the better for

us," said Sid in the some positive tone,

although mentally uncertain. ”VVe’ll look

into the business now, buy our swarms

cheap when they’re through working this

season and begin next spring with a real

Splmidid splurge, won’t: we, Mr. Wat-

tles?”



Wat-ts smiled confidently into Sid’s

eyes; the ready understanding between

them seemed strange to Hornbill, who.

could seldom be on a like footing with

anyone.



As Sid sought-his pivl-low that night,

dead tired after an all day inspection of

the farm and its resources, he was con-

tented with the thought that be. had at

least made a. start. It might be lmprac~

tics] and it was possible that he should

have allowed himself to be dissuaded by

Hornbill, but he had done something on

his own initiative and he realized that

he must do much more before his four-

yeur term was finished if he wished 'to

attain the fortune awaiuing him at the.

end of the rainbow.



Another possibility had occurred to

him that afternoon in his tour of inspec-

tion. The farm was flooded with grape

vines, and the little green clusters looked

to Sid as though they would be worth

money if turned into wine. With Chi—

cago so near it seemed possible that he

might work up on exclusive trade in wild

grape wine and he was determined to

investigate further next day.



He was up with the sun and the birds,





as u result of having gone L‘o bcd early.

Morning hzid never seemed so fine and

bracing to him bcfore. He stood wet-





fucc'd above the wash pan at the well

and laughed up at the dazzling sun just

twinkling above the horizon.





A vague thought stole through him;

God must have conjured up the drowsy

delightful dusk and placed ii‘ at the day’s

end to invite rest that all His children

might be up with the sun to see. the

glorious morn, frcsh, delightfully dewy,

a new world, peopled with rollicking rob-

ins, roisterous blue-jays, racing squirrels,

chesty, strutting chickens, mourning

doves and romping puppies.



Sid had stayed up until five o‘clock

many times, but had never before risen

at that hour. He had heard many people

say, “Yes, morning is the best part of

the day, I understand," but he bud sel-

dOm known anyone in New York who

knew of the dawn beyond hearsay. He

felt foolish and sen'timenual about it;

here was a brand new day springing

fresh from they firmament.



He watched a robin on the lawn strug-

gling with an angle-worm like a minia-

ture Laocoon; he saw proud Chanticleer

exulting over his summoning of the dawn.

Sid himself felt exultant—triumphant; his

scope was expanding with his lungs. He

wanted to do something and do it at

once.

TO PREVENT A COW FROM SUCKING





HERSELF.





Have a cow that sucks herself. Have





tried a halter with nails in it, muzzle

and a wide neck yoke with nails, but

none prcvcntcd her from sucking. She

is a young cow and gives a good quan-

tity of milk. and I would like to know if

there is anything one could put on her

teats to keep her from su-cking herself.





Gratiot (‘11. C. M. M.

A cow that will persist in sucking her-

There isn't any ques—

Concrete adds a touch of beauty to the home—but that’s only two or three COWS that sucked them-

one attraction. Concrete porches will outlast the strongest selves. \l’e found usually that we could





prevent a cow from sucking herself by

getting one of these patent cow suckers.

It is simply an arrangement that fits into

the nose like» 21 bud'l ring, like an old—





fnshioned bull ring that fits in on either





side of the, cartilngc of the ose but does

not pierce it like an ordinary bull ring.

Then on the ring part itself arel great

long brads three. or four inches long and

extend at right angles to each other.

Now when the cow attempts to suck

herself these sharp long briids prod her

in the) udder and flank and she quits, and

after :1 while she will give- it up. We

have had cows than didn't suck them-

selves at all when these rings were in

their 11050, but sometimes the rings come





out, the key gettink loose, or sometimes

the cows break them, when it is only a

I should so y





One year to prevent this I filled the





NOV. 9, 1912.





silo full of beet tops without cutting them

and then I ordered a. car load of green

beet pulp and we drew this and run it

in on top. New this filled up all the

space and sealed the silo practically air

tight. It was almost perfectly sealed

and there wasn’t any loss at all. The

steam and moisture that evaporated and

was driven off by the heating of the

beets went up through the beet pulp, but

none of the- tops rot'tde. The cows ate

them readily. It didn’t seem to hurt

them a particle, and as I think this is a

splendid thing to do. Anybody can get

a carlood of beet pulp from the factory

to put on top of his silo. The only trou-

ble is to get the beet tops in the silo.

This can be done by rig-sing up a com-

mon old~fashioned web carrier which will

take them up, or one can fix a gin pole

and with a rope and tackle lift, the tops

up in buckets or kegs made on purpose,

or big barrels, and dump them .into the

silo. By having one horse to work on

the. rope just as you would for hay, you

could draw up practically a hogshead

full of bect tops and dump them right

into the top of the silo. They can be

elevated almost as fast as a man could

pick them off from a loud if you have

two of these hogshcads to work with.



One can keep beet hops where he raises

20 acres of them, without a silo. The

Hon. Ira Carley, of Menominee county,

one year Stacked his bect tops. He built

a squarc pen out of rails, just as we used

to when we stacked hay, to get the form

of the stack. lie stacked this pen until

it was full 11nd then built the stack up

gradumlly drawing in as you would in

any stack until it got as high as the tops

could be pitched. I heard him tell about;

this once. He said that the stack com-

menced to heat? up and smoke and settle

and he thought it was nil going right

down through the ground, but it didn’t,

and finally it stopped settling and he

thought it was all spoiled. He told the

men one day to draw it out and spread

it out on the land for manure. They

went to work {it it and they found out

that when they got in about eight inches

that there was just as nice beet‘ silage as

:1 man ever saw. It had to decay on the

outsidc sufficiently t oexclude the air

from the. balance, and then it was good

silage. There was, of course, consider-

able. loss. If a man had 21 silo it would

pay to put the beets into the silo be-

cause you would avoid this loss, but they

can be stacked in this way, and‘it cer-

tainly would pay to do so if you couldn’t

handle them in any other way.





ARE PUMPKIN—SEEDS lNJURlOUS To

MILCH cows.7





“11] you pl use ttll me if when pump-

kins aie fed to milch cows it is no ces-

told (that the seeds, if allowed to be eat-

cn, would decrease the quantity of milk.



Osceola CO. C. C. W.



Pumpkin seeds, if they were fed alone

and in any large quantity, woulu be in-

jurious to cows or any other kind of

animal. They have a diarrhetic effect

and would cause overworki g of the kid—

neys which would result in injury to the

cows, 11nd no doubt decrease the flow of

milk. They would drop off in Ilesh also.

Huch feed would be injurious and if per-

sisted in would probably be disastrous.

kins liberally that they prefer the seeds

11nd will eat too many if they are given

:1 sufficient amount of pumpkins 211: one

THE NATIONAL. DAIRY SHOW.‘





 





(Concluded from last week).

The U. S. Government Exhibit.



The dairy division of the department

of animal industry showed a small aver-

age herd of grade cows picked up on dif-

ferent farms and housed in a plain, sein—

sible stable. Above each cow is u butter

carton accommodating the amount of

butter which she daily produces. Milk

bottles show graphically the amount of

butter produced. The purpose of the ex-

hibit is to show how excellent herds can

be built up, through judging from ap-

pearances, the keeping of records, and

he use of a good bull. They call atten-

tion to the low average yield of Ameri—

can cows by placing 144 pounds of butter

alongside of a pile of nearly 1,200 pounds

representing the yearly output of Banos-

tine Bell DcKol, the world's champion

cow. Above is the legend, “War Has

Been Declared Against the Scrub Bull.

Recruits “'anted.” It is stated that if

the average production of American cows

is raised one pound it will mean an ad—

dition of $7,500,000 to the income of Am-

erican dairymen. The work of the cow-

testing associations in charge of this bu-

reau is accomplishing wonders in this

direction. Some have stated that the

cow-testing work does not continue for

any length of time; but the fact that over

100 Of the 113 local cow—testing aSSOCia-

tions organized are yet in existence dis-

proves the statement.



A regular daily program is followed.

Milk is tested each day, cow‘s gotten

ready for milking in the- most approved

manner. a. demonstration of judging

dairy cattle given while two hours each

day are given over to lectures by B. H.

Raw], chief of the division, Helmer Ra-

bild, \Vill Forbes, A. J. teed. Prof. H. E.

Van Norman, Prof. C. S. Plumb, and a

large number of other prominent lights

in the dairy world. The- popular subject

is. “How to make our herds more profit-

able.”



TWo very plain, cheaply, yet substan—

lally, built dairy housos drew their due

sharc of attention. 'l‘hcir cost was slight—

ly more than $100, yc't their 00nstruction





and equipment provided for all that is

necessary. This department is at pres-

ent paying especial HitlUnlllln to 'thc

men and persons interested will do well

to write the department fOr plans. Cir-

cular 135 of the Bureau of Animal In-

dustry, \Vashington. D. 0, gives detailed

plans of the milk house mentioned.



Why High Milk?

in the production and distribution of milk

using 99 men, 101 horses and 92 wagons

This returned the distributors $333 as a

Health Board Exhibits.



Eight booths in one of the wings were

devoted to the exhibio of this department.

They were designed to show the general

line of work that is being carried on to

give warnings in regard to the prevention

of various diseases and particularly to

give instruction in regard to baby feed-

ing. The fact was shown that one baby

out of every four dies before reaching

the age of one year, and that over 60

per cent of. these deaths are the result 0f

preventable diseases. A model showed

the dangers _resulting;from poor venti-

lation. Dolls were placed in ~-two rooms,

one with the windows closed and the

other with them open. Smoke was blown

through the mouths of the dolls and the

amount that collected in the closed room

showed vividly the dangers coming from

poor ventilation of sleeping quarters. A

model of a cow showed the necessity of

pasteurizing for baby feeding. The cow

is supposed to be tubercular and the

tubercular lesions in a guinea pig inject-

ed with milk from such a cow ShOWS the

danger. Pasteurized milk injected into

pigs did not give such results. A simple

home-made pasteurizer mude- by placing

the milk bottle in a double boiler was

shown. The statement was made that

over 70 per cent of the babies in a large

city such as Chicago, get their milk

through a tube that is 60 miles long and

the dangers to which milk is exposed in

being transported such a distance were

shown.



It is doubtful if such an array of dairy

machinery has ever been brought to—





gether us was there found under the

roof of the International Amphitheater.

The exhibits of market milk, cream





and butter were not shown the earlier

part or the week but? were kept in stor-

age at one of the packing plan-ts.





 





AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE VALUE

OF BREEDING GOOD COWS;



Some three years ago. John H. Bonnell,

of Kent county, owner of The “food-

cliffe Farm, situated on the shores of

Reed’s Lake in East Grand Rapids. decid-

ed 00 place a herd of Holstein cows on

his \Voodcliffe Farm for the purpose of

supplying milk for the retail milk trade

in South Grand Rapids. \Vith this end

in view, he delegated his efficient farm

superintendent, l‘llmcr Y. McCoy, to visit

the Various Holstein herds in Michigan

to purchase a foundation herd of cows of

good type and breeding. Mr. McCoy

proved a good judge of llolstoin- cattle

and purchased thiuteen young cows and

heifers and a young herd bull, buying

well-bred young I‘cmulc-s of gum] type but

without fancy breeding and .\. It. 0. rec-

ords. As these cows and Leifcrs fresh-

cned, Mr. Ali-Coy began to test them offi-

cially and during the past two years has





given :1. number of these cows A. R. 0

records of from 20 lbs. to 31.02 lbs. of

butter in seven days, the cow, Sweet





Friend Aggie, producing 31, 02 lbs. of but-

ter in seven days at the ago of six years

which gnvo her the Michigan state butter

record for sew-u days. During the past

summer, \Voodclii‘i‘c- Farm has been in

demand for plotting for village lots in

East (Brand and Mr. lionncll de-

cided to plot the farm and buy a ranch

in California and Mr. McCoy was in-

structed lo sell the \\'oodcliffe hord at

1)l‘lv;liu sale for $7,000 and if hc could

llut sell them for this sum to advertise

them and sell them at public auction on

Tuesday. October 22.



The cattle sold at auction by Mr. Mc-

Coy accordiiig to instructions, and 27

head of cul‘tlc consisting of 14 cows, five

heifers, two bulls, and four young bull

calves sold for $7,775, or an average of

$287.77 per head. The 14 cows sold for

$6,064, or an average of $433.21 per head.

The three heifer calves, ranging in age

from five months to 12 months, sold for

$850, or an average of $283.33 each. Ac-

cording to Our information the average

price for the herd was the highest aver-

age price of any sale ever held in the

BIG CLUB FAIR AND HOME-COMING

MEETING.



The Washington Center Farmers’ Club

fair was held at “Riverside,” October 10.

It was “rainy day” as well as “Fair day,”

but in spite of all difficulties the fair was

a great success, there being nearly 400

entries iii the various classes.



Owing to the crowded condition of the

hall it is impossible to give anything

like a full tlcsci'iption of the exhibits.

They were all ithcrc, however, the main-

moth pumpkin and all its kindred; corn,

such as grows only in \\‘ashington; ap—

so much talk about the high cost of liv-

ing. ”Washington township, the lltllliw of

the sugar bect. kept up its reputation

this year by growing seven, eight, ninc

and ten—pound specimens. \Vliile the

grain exhibit wasinot as large as in for-

mer years, the quality was good. An

exhibit of alfalfa. and forage crops was

also line. Mr. \V. C. Ctowoll showed a

tine collection of vegetables grown from

seeds imported from Belgium. This was

a most intcrestiiig exhibit and without

doubt will be of bciiciit to the gardens

in this vicinity. The canned goods and

domestic exhibit was exceptionally fine

and the fancy work department would

have done credit to many of the large

ifairs. ()ne of the most admired exhibits

was that made by Clarence Smaltz, a.

fourtcon-yt-ar—old schoolboy, consisting

of Sllt‘t‘llllellS of pen work, drawings and

paintings which showed remarkable tal-

ent in this line.



This was also liome-comcrs‘ day and

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL CLUB FAIR.





Silo filling, cucumber grinding, potato

harvest and .various other branches of

farm work conspired to make the at-





tendance ati Napoleon Club Fair smaller

than usual. Nevertheless it was a suc-

cess in many ways. After arranging the

various exhibits, all went from the, hall

to the M. E. Church where dinner was

served. After dinner the meeting was

called to order by President Nichols and

the regular business session was held.

The program* of the afternoon was then

given which included an interesting and

instructive address on .“FoO(," by Miss

Hunt, of Lansing. \Vhile the exhibits of

the day were not as numerous as in





total.of-Granges organized was 209. The

figures since 1905 are of interest, Showing

as they do a steady aiid perceptible ad-

vance'each year, with the single excep-

tion of 1910. They are as follows:' 1906,

249; 1907, 252; 1908, 302; 1909, 431; 1910,

409; 1911, 453; 1912, 472.7 When we come

to consider the Granges that have been

re—organized the tendencyis in the op-

posite direction although here the figures

are more variable. The greatest number

of re-organizations, in the eight years

above cited, occurred in 1906 when the

total was 66—just double that of the

present year. This, too, is satisfactory,

since a. diminishing number 0f re-organ-

izations argues greater stability of the

organization.

number of Granges organized. “’a‘sh-

ANOTHER YEAR OF SATISFACTORY

GRANGE GROWTH.





 





'J‘hc stcady growth of the Grange, the

country over, during the: past deCadc

was commented on in these columns at

the close of the Grange year which ex—

pired Sept. 30, 1911. That this satisfac-

tory condition still obtains is evident

from the report of the. National Secretary

for the year succeeding the above date,

which is appended below. From this re—

port we learn that during the past Grange

your more Grangcs have been brought

into existence than in any preceding

year of the past decade. The total of

new Granges organized—472—exceeds the

good record of the preceding year by 19,

and more than doubles the figures of

seven years ago—~1905—in which year the





National Grange this month, divides with

l’cnnsylvania the honors of second place,

with South Dakota in third position,

closely followed by Nebraska, New York,

Iowa, Michigan, Montana, Oregon. Kan-

sas and \Visconsin, some of which states

are comparatively young members of this

great farmers’ fraternity.



National Secretary Freeman reports the

number of Granges organized and rc-or-

ganized from Oct. 1, 1911, to Sept. 30,

A LECTURER’S HANDBOOK.





 





In pursuance of action taken at the

Columbus meeting of the National Grange

in November last, National Lecturer Hull

has prepared and recently issued :1, Lec—

turcr’s Handbook. It has been prcparcd

Willi a. view to aiding lecturers in secur-

ing greater variety and developing a

deeper interest in program work, and

copies of the book have been placed in

the hands of all lecturers in the various

states. The contents of the book include

timely suggestions on the meaning and

importance of Grange work and thelines

which may most reasonably be expected

to lead to success; detailed plans for se-

curing and holding the interest of mem-

bers; a number of well-balanced pro-

grams capable of adaptation to the needs

of any subordinate Grange. these cover—

ing a wide range of carefully chosen sub-

jects; a seit of programs on home eco-

nomics, with outlines covering such sub-

jects as the house. home management,

labor-saving devices, meats, vegetables,

principles of bread making, milk, fruits

and nuts, flies and mosquitoes, etc; a

list of miscellaneous programs—literary,

humorous, equal suffrage, goddesses’

nights, etc—in large variety and of prac-

tical merit, and a. long list of general

topics suitable for use at any regular

subordinate or Pomona. meeting.

THE WINTER EGG PRODUCERS.





 





 





Give Pullets Attention Now.





This is a. nrying time for the pullets.

You can make or mar a good win-tar

layer at this time. Now 'that the early

pullets are maturing and seem to get

alOng very well, they are likely to be neg-

lected. This should not be, however.

They never require good feed and good

care at any time more than they do right

now. Careless management can easily

cause a setback in development which

will surely retard egg production. The

idea is to bring rthem along quickly and

steadily with no check in their growth.

Feed them well but make them work for

the food. It is my opiniOn that a grow—

ing pullet cannot get over-fat. It is when

a pullet has maintained her growth, and

egg production has not commenced, that

she is liable to get too fat. Feed the

growing pullets well with a variety of

good. wholesome food. Corn and animal

feed should not be given to excess, how-

ever. These should constitute a part of

'their daily rations, but only a small part.



\‘l'atch the young fowls carefully dur-

Colds

easily develop and from no apparent

causes. One of the principal causes of

fall colds, I find, is confining too many

young fowls in a closed coop. They were

used to having lots of fresh air while on

the range. When cold weather approaches

they are put into winter quarters. The

windows are generally closed to keep out

drafts; the chicks become overheated and

take- cold. Keep the windows in the

poultry house open to provide pro-per

ventilation and your stock will be heal-

thier.



Keep some of the Yearling Hens.



As there is a shortage of early pullets

for winter egg production it will prove

profitable to hold over a number of year-

ling hens to take the places of the miss-

ing pullets. Yearling hens that moult

early usually resume laying in January,

and this is when eggs are still high. It





costs less to feed hens through the moul't-K





ing period than it does to hatch and

raise pullets to laying age, and there will

be no losses. _'.l‘he»refore, if you have

yearling hens that have proved good lay—

ers during their first (year, hold onto

them, for they will return a good profivt.

They will also prove the best of breed—

ers, if otherwise good. Pullets should not

be bred from, as they usually are not

fully developed and cannot produce vig-

Iorous, thrifty offspring.



Gather up and store away all the green

feed yOu possibly can. The fowls will

appreciate it when winter’s blasts com-

pel them to be shut in. Store away all

the- waste cabbage you can get. Either

store them outside and cover well or put

'them in the cellar. If beets can be se—

cured cheaply, thcy will prove an excel-

lent vegetable feed. Fed rzlw they are

relished and tcnd to promote health and

a bigger egg yield. Carrots, turnips.

small potatoes, etc., should also be stored

for winter feeding. Ground up and mix-

ed with mush 'they form an appetizing

dish on winter days. These may sccm

little things to the poultryman, but of‘ic-n

they spell the difference between profit

and loss.

CARE OF DUCKS IN WINTER.





(Concluded from last week).





Houses sllmlld hc lllklth rcady before





~ cold weather sets ill, So that the ducks





will be comfortable and also l)1-C0me ac-

customed to their wintci‘ quarters. Dl'iVe

them in slowly each cvening, until they

lcarn to go without being driven. “Zhen

they are laying they should he kept

housed or yarded until about the middle

of the forenoon, as they do notl always

Lay at night or early in the morning. If

they have free range. they should be fed

liberally twice a day. But in cold weath-

er we feed three or four times a day

and find that this is none to.) often when

they have to be kept housed. \\'e feed

Indian Runners three times a day and

Pekins four times. The latter are

enormous feeders. This is their worst

fault (if it can be called a fault). but

they are much larger than the Indian

Runners and lay larger eggs. The l’e-

kin will not lay so many eggs in winter

as the Indian Runner. but; for market

purposes the Imperial Pekin duck is far

superior to the Indian Runner, or any

other breed, for that matter.



A steady corn diet is not to be recom-





mended for ducks. Whole grain of'any

kind is not as good as ground grain, al-

though they will eat it if nothing else is

provided. If whole corn must be fed, it

shOuld be soaked for several hours be-

fore feeding. They don’t like it boiled.

The best way to feed it, however, is

ground and mixed with bran or with

cooked vegetables. If ducks have been

accustomed to eating cooked grain while

they are small, they are not so apt to

refuse it later. But as a rule, ducks pre-

fer t‘heir grain raw. if it must be fed

whole as mentioned above, it should be

soaked.



We sometimes feed a little oats. It is

first scalded, then covered closely, and

allowed to soak for at least six hours.

Ten hours or over night is better. Corn

is treated in the same way. Cornmeal

is much better for ducks. Vl’e never

feed crushed corn (containing the cob)

to any kind of poultry, because we con-

sider the ground cob injurious;even if it

caused no bad effect there is no advan-

tage in, feeding it, as it (the cob) has no

food value for f0w1s and merely taxes

their digesuion. We had a number of

hens killed, several years ago, by gorg-

ing themselves with ground cob. Here

is how it happened: We ran short of

cornmeal for the poultry and decided to

remove the cob from some crushed corn.





 





 





A White Wyandotte Pullet Weighing 2

lbs. 12 oz. at the Age of 2%. Months.

This excellent specimen of a p0pular



breed was grown during the past season



by Mrs. F. A. Stl'ingham, Sr., of Rives

township, Jackson county, Mich.





 





This was done by covering it with cold

water. The ground cob always rises to

the top when it is stirred. As fast as

it came up it was skimmed off and.

rhoughtlessly as it later appeared, was

thrown upon the ground. Some hens

came along and. evidently thinking it

“the real article." devouireld ,it in a

hurry. They became crop-bound and

(lied.



To return to the subject of ducks:

Provide some sort of green stuff for

them in winter. lreen rye is best but

if this cannot be had try something else.

Rye will keep for some time if it is cut

and stored while it is frozen. Raw cab-

bage, chopped and mixed with the mash.

is greatly relished. Apples, or even raw

potatoes, chopped fine, are sometimes

used as a. substitute for green food. We

have never fed silage to ducks but have

known of others using it with good re-

sults. This green stuff is always fed in

addition to the regular ration. It will

not take the place of grain.



A good mixture for laying ducks is

composed of equal parts cornmeal and

wheat bran moistened with some cooked

vegetables, the latter thoroughly mashed

before being mixed with the moistened

grain. If cooked vegetables (especially

potatoes), are mixed with dry meal, a

Itough, sticky mass will be the result.

Ducks cannot or will not eat tough, gum-

my feed. Either buttievrmilk or skim-

milk should be used once a day. at least.

in winter. An occasional feed of beef

scrap (if it is good) is always relished

by laying ducks. it is not really essen-

tial if milk is plentiful. Never use milk

as a drink for ducks. Provide plenty of

clean water and change it often and

don’t forget the grit. We keep oyster

shell, coarse sand, charcoal and coal

cinders within their reach.

Wheati—Thi's has been an easy week

in the wheat market. Interest in elec-

tlhe markets. However, dealers are watch-

With .250 cars of cattle on our market

here today, and only 14,000 reported in

Chicago, quality ltaken into consideration,

the cattle all sold about 100 per cwt

higher than last week. There were some

cattle here as heavy as the cattle: last

week, but the quality was not near so

good, consequently we feel that the mar-

ket on the heaviest cattle was full steady

with last. week, and on all the butchers

Largely owing to the elections «tomor-

‘usually small, although hogsare doubt:-

less being held back partly owing to the

recent slump in prices. Cattle are fully

1061.150 higher, and some sales are. ex-

pected to show even greater advances.

Hogs are 1560200 higher, with sales at

5515560825. Last week's receipts of hogs

averaged 225 lbs., compared with 203 lbs.

a year ago and 233 lbs. two years ago.

Sheep and yearlings of the better class

are tending upward, while fat lambs are

$36§2515c higher, prime natives fetching



Cattle sold last week at the lowest

prices of lthe season the demand from

local packers and shippers being greatly

reduced, and even choice corn-fed beeves

had to go lower along with others. The

great bulk of the beef steers sold for $7

609.75, the common to good grass steers

fetching 3552560730, while the choicer

corpd‘eds sold at $9.756l10.85. with sales

on Monday at $10.906911. Desirable lit-

tle yearlings brought: $8.506010.50, and

butchering lots of cows and heifers sold

at $430608, with a few extra heavy fancy

heifers taken at 38.506010. Canners sold

at 3524060370, cutters at 33.7560425 and

bulls at 55311060723, very few bulls sell-

ing up to $7. Some of the lighter steers

of fair quality, just above feeder condi-

tion, found a better outlet than cattle of

more weight that lacked finish. About

the hardest cattle to soil were the plain

and medium steers valued around $75060

350, .these showing especially large de-

clines in prices. The: dcarness of beef is

curtailing its consumption materially, and

all that prevents a great: slump in prices

for choice bceves is their scarcity, grass

cattle from western pastures and north-

western ranges comprising a large per-

centage of the offerings. After the sea.-

son for these catltle closes there will be

a. much better show for fed cattle, and

tive days h'ogs‘deolined 750 per 100 lbs.,

and the Monday market last week closed

largely 30@35c lower than the preceding

Saturday and mostly 50c lower than on

Friday. Provisions have shared in the

downward movement, and both hogs and

hog products are on a totally different

baSIS from that a few weeks ago. Coun-

try Shippers have met with great losses,

and many hogs sold below their cosh in

the country. On the low day of the week

the best hogs brought $7.90, but hogs

sold on Saturday at $7.30@8.05, compar-





ing with $7.75@8.60 a week earlier. Pigs

closed at $4.50@7.45.

Sheep and lambs were marketed last





week much less freely than a week ear-

lier, and some good rallies took place in

prices at times, there being a .fairly ac—

tive demand. Feeding lambs continued

especially firm, as the country demand

was as lively as ever, and more than

were. available could have been sold ad-

vantageously. The range shipping season

is approaching a close, and the range

offerings are greatly reduced in volume

and embrace a much enlarged proportion

of :feeders. The feeding districts of the

middle west are sending in more live

mut'tons, and there is now a better show

for these, provided quality is good, but

too many flocks are poorly fattened and

sell accordingly. .The close of the week

saw lambs selling 10@25c higher than a

week earlier, sheep showing little change.





Lambs went at $5607.25, yearlings at

$4 75605.75, wethers at $4604.50, ewes at





$2.75604.25 and bucks at $2.75@3.50. Feed-

ers bought lambs at $6606.60, yearlings at

$4.75605.50 and wethers at $3.50@4.35.



Horses were in extremely poor demand

last week, and prices were irregularly

lower, the choicest animals excepted,

these being scarce. The poorer horses

were quoted at $7560100 per head and the

better class of drafters of strong weight

at $22560325, with wagon horses salable

at $15060250 and not many selling much

over $200.

for steers may be expected to narrow a

good deal. \Vestern range cattle have

sold on the basis of 335256010 for steers

and $4607 for cows and heifers, the best

steers being from liorlthwcstern Canada.

There was a. fairly good sltocker and

feeder trade, with sales of stockers at

$46L6.65 and feeders at $5.85@7.60, and

the usual inadequate offerings of choxce

heavy feeders. Not many feeders are

being shipped east, the middle west be-

ing the principal buyer. Calves sold free-

ly at 5546010510 and milch cowsat $356075

per head, with prime cows scarce‘and

firm up to $100. Fat cows and heifers

SOld higher last week, but beef steers

averaged 2.50 lower.



Hogs have been extraordinarily weak

in price .for still another week, and sales

were made at the lowest figures seen for

many weeks. Rallies occurred at times,

but the undertone of the market was

unqualifiedly weak. Of late hogs have

been marketed with much increased lib—

erality at all western points, as well as

eastern packing points, and as eastern

shippers have bought sparingly in the

Chicago market most of the ltime, real

competition between buyers was apt to

be lacking, enabling the big local packing

concerns to make prices. The demand

was strongest for choice h0g8 of strong

weight, and these continued to sell at the

higheSt prices, while the lighter weights

of the best grade went at a small dis-

count. In the course of three consecu-

From Actual Users





“Your Sal-Vet has done all that you claim, and

perhaps more. Hog cholera has been all around

me, and I have not had one sick hog. I cannot

praise Sal~Vct too highly, and I do not hesitate

to recommcnd it to all hog raisers.”—-(Signcd)

A. O. Kellogg, Troy Grove, Ill.





‘\ fed a carload of hogs on which I made a.

thorough test of Sal-Vet for seventy days. Chol-

era or some disease like it was killing off hogs

all around me, but I never had a single one

sick; thcy remained in fine condition during the

entire time.”—(Signcd) W. C. Grove, Box 235,

Hominy, Okla. _.



“I am greatly plcnscd with your Sal-Vet; my

hogs are doing just tine, but my ncighbors all

around me, who have not used Sui-Vet. have had

hcnvy losses."—-(Signcd) Jerry C. Smeltzer, Box

33, Canalou, M0.



“All last winter I used Sui-Vet for 2,500 head

of yearlings, and can not find words to say the

good things about it that I would like. HOW-

ever. I believe Sul~Vet to be the best thing in the

World to keep shecp in a healthy condition and

in excellent appetitc."—Svend Mauland, Big Tim-

ber, Mont. %



"We have 'ven the preparation (Sal-Vet) to our miich

cows, and t ese also have shown great improvement

since."——Geo. W. Smith & Son, Burnett, Wisconsin.





“Have been feeding Sui—Vet to some of my

horses which were very thin and in a run-down

condition. They have now picked up in flesh and

spirits in spite of the heavy work incidcnt t0

thisDtime of the year.”—Eli Furlund, Artcsian,
