While it is true

that there are a great many argu-

this manner and that insect pests will

be largely eliminated.



Fall Plowing Conserves Moisture.



There can be no question but that

where land is of the right type, it

can be profitably plowed in the fall.

Such fall p10wed land will hold a

great deal more moisture for use of

the plant the following year than will

land that is spring plowed. I have

seen this demonstrated a great many

times. In one instance, the outer por-

tion of a corn field was plowed in the

fall. Other work came on so quickly

that'the middle of the field could not

be plowed before snow came on and

so had to be spring plowed. The next

summer happened to be a dry one and

when the corn was just in the tassel-

ing stage from an eminence overlook-

ing the ”field, the border of the corn

field Was seen to be a richer green

than was the portion in the center.



Where land is plowed in the spring,

there is often a dense growth of grass

or other organic matter on top of the

Soil. This is turned under and the

top soil does not have a chance to

pack down firmly on this material be-

fore the plants are ready to grow,

with the result that the capillarity of

the soil is broken up. It is well

known that soil water rises to the

surface where it may be utilized by

the plants through the contact of the

grains of soil. If a layer of organic

matter is placed between the subsoil,

where the water comes from, and the

top soil into which the plant roots

penetrate, this unquestionably shuts

off the course of the capillary water

which rises to the surface. This capil-

larity is evenlydistributed under good

tillage conditions. When these well

distributed courses are shut off, the

moisture comes up to the layer of for-

eign material and from here, instead

of continuing on upward, it is evap-

drated and passes out through the

cracks in the top soil.



; Often, however, the loss of moisture

is not so much through evaporation

but on account of that which has been

taken up and is held by the plants

Which were turned under. If grass is

turned under late in the spring and

then a crop planted directly upon the

soil; there has been a great deal of

the'_ ground. water taken up by the

grass. ‘ This is locked up in the cells

of the grass, leaves and it is some lit-

tle time" before this becomes avail-

able.,j,0ftenvin the early stages of the.

cro‘p’s'l'growth just when it needs mois-

ture the'most, the supply is shut up

in‘ the ”plant cells under the sod while

later some of this supply is liberated

at a time when it is not needed so

badly.



The physical condition of most soils

is improved by alternate freezing and





thawing. Take a piece that has been

plowed in the spring under too wet

conditions and is lumpy; it may he

often improved by fall plowing. The

action of the elements is to break up

these particles which are cemented

together into a hard chunk. These

are broken up into smaller particles.

In a large lump of soil there is an ap-

preciable amount of plant food stored

up but when the elements are work-





again turned to the surface, the sun

stimulates growth and the ones that

grow are killed by the late autumn

frosts. .



Of course, those weed seeds that

take a long time to germinate will of-

ten lie on the ground over winter but

they may be very easily killed next

spring by going over the piece with

the spring'tooth barrow at intervals

of ten days or two weeks. Those

seeds which contain a large amount

of moisture in the germ, will be killed

to freeze. Freezing does not kill them

unless they contain a certain amount

of moisture because dry plant food is

more readily used by the plant.

Freezing Kills Weeds and their Seeds.

An, by no means, unimportant func-

tion of fall plowing is to kill weeds

and destroy the germinating quality

of others which are not killed by

freezing the plants. When the soil is

turned under by the plow one year,

a great many weed seeds go along

with the top soil. These are so far

down in the ground that they do not

receive very much of the heat of the

sun’s rays and hence do not germi-

nate. The moment these seeds are

having the land fall plowed and these



may be easily killed by the harrowing



which is done in fitting up the ground.

Some Insects Are Controlled.



It is well known that many of the

insects which are so injurious to some

of our cultivated plants spend the

winter stage of their existence in the

ground. The young potato bugs burs

row into the ground in the fall and

pupate. Pupation in the insect cor-

responds somewhat to the hibernation

of animals. In the spring, the full-

fledged Colorado potato beetle comes

forth ready to assail the first potato





 





plant that shows its bud above the

ground.



The~grasshopper lays her eggs in

the first half-inch of soil in old pas-

tures or lanes and if these are turned

under in the fall, the eggs are put so

far under that they do not hatch out

the following summer. The pupa of

the other insects which burrow farth-

er down into the ground are turned

to the surface and as these usually

contain relatively large amounts of

moisture, they are killed by the freez-

ing weather. Just the insect phase

of the problem is quite important for

many of them are effectually controll-

ed by fall plowing.



Sand and Wash Soils Are Damaged.



I have heard the advice unreserved-

ly given that all soils should be fall

plowed. This is hardly sound coun-

sel. While there are a great many

soils which are better off for being

plowed before the snow comes on,

there‘are others which are damaged

to a very great extent by this same

procedure.



Usually, a sandy soil is poor in or—

ganic matter. Many such sandy soils

in Michigan have the chemical ele—

ments required for successful plant

growth but on account of the lack of

organic matter, are not as productive

as are our heavier soils. A sandy soil

is also much more liable to leaching

and leaching of a soil is sure to carry

away some of the nitrogen which it

contains and that is the most expen-

sive element which must be kept in

the soil. A sandy field is often “burn-

ed out” by fall plowing; that is, it

seems that the rays of the sun heat-

ing upon it for three or four months,

as the case may be, render the organ-

ic matter contained in the soil inae

tive. On account of the better sub-

drainage which a sandy soil always

has, he rains leach the most import-

ant plant foods, either farther down in

the soil where they are lost, or they

are put in solution where the nitrogen

easily detaches itself from the bonds

which hold it and goes off in the at-

mosphere.



\Vhile fall plowing is very effective

in killing weeds, conserving moisture

and controlling insect pests when

practiced on heavy land, it cannot be

advised in every case. One must suit

the plowing to the soil. \Vhere land

is sandy or hilly, exposure during the

winter often leaches away the most

valuable portions of it. In the case

of hilly land, the really most import-

ant plant foods are washed down into

the ravines and often clear off from

the owner’s farm.

THE MICHIGAN FARMER





in June in 1913 he was unable to plan

very much experimental work, but the

past spring and summer has seen a

lot of co-Operation between Mr. Bland-

ford and the farmers, with the result





‘ that certain phases of agricultural





work in the community have been at-

tempted this summer with marked

success.



In order that the farmers and busi-

ness men might see what was being

done in the county in this work, also

that they might get together and get

better acquainted and the farmers get

away from home and see the other

fellow’s farm, a day off was planned

and the said people, under the direc-

tion of. Mr. Blandford got together

September 10. Both business men and

farmers dOnated autos and at 8:30, 20

autos left Fremont loaded down with





‘ business men,“ farmers, and a’ score of

Iboys from high school who were tak-





ing the agricultural work. Going

north from Fremont the first stop was

at John Jacklinfis Where an 800 tree

orchard was visited and the results of

thinning apples noticed. Dan Rousch’s

was the next stop where a field of

sweet clover that-yielded 4,025 pounds

to the acre was visited. Another fruit

farm, with apples galore, was seen.

Then a long sweep south to Reeman,

where the orchard of John Beam was

seen. Another noticeable effect of

pruning by Mr. Blandford and Mr. O.

at E. J. Taylor’s, where a. fine herd of

A long ride south through Newaygo

brought the travelers to Grant, Where

was gathered here of the effect of the

more than ever before. It will be

found that he is investigating the

crops that can be grown in his sec-

tion of the country to find which of

them are best adapted to his soil and

climate and which varieties are the

most profitable producers.



No set rules can be laid down in

answer to these questions as our soils

and climate differ. radically and one

must use his best judgment, and profit

by his and his neighbors’ experiences

in selecting his line of farming and

what crops will bring him the best

returns. There are certain principles

that should be followed in every case,

however. We must do everything in

accordance with nature and her laws,

and take every opportunity that we

can to assist nature in her work.



If a piece of wornout ground is left

alone for a few years and nothing is

done on it in the way of cultivation,

nature will start in at once to build





,up the soil and restore the fertility





that has been taken out of it by con-

tinued cropping. The first step that

will probably be taken will be to raise

a crop of poor weeds. The first year

the growth may not be very vigorous,





‘ but the weeds will die, fall upon the





ground where they will decay, and as

they do so they will add fertility to

the surface soil. The next year the

weeds will grow larger and a greater

number of varieties will make their

The roots will go deeper

into the soil and feed upon the plant

foods that could not be reached by

the roots of the weed crop that was

on the land the year before. This,

thicker growth of weeds ‘will, when

they decay; add more fertility to the

surface soil where it is more readily

available for the use of crops 01'

plants that are to follow. This growth

of vegetation continues from year to

year, and each season it becomes

thicker and heavier as the fertility is

brought up to the surface and asthe

amount of decaying vegetable matter

or humus increases in the soil. Trees

will make their appearance. and cover

the surface of the soil. with their cov-

ering of. leaves which, aside from in-





 





creasing the fertility aid véry mate-

rially in holding the moisture in the

soil near the surface Where the plants

can make use of it.



To assist nature, then, we should

arrange a rotation that will include

some crop every few years that we

can turn back into the soil to give it

the necessary supply of humus. Such

a. crop as this should be a legume, be-

cause of the power of the plants of

this family to gather nitrogen from

the air by the aid of the bacteria that

live upon their roots. There is an-

other reason why these crops should

be grown more, and especially for the

purpose of turning under, and that is

that their root systems go into the

soil so deeply. Raising clover, alfalfa

and such crops is not like growing

the grain crops that have roots that

feed so near the surface. When the

former crops are grown the plant food

for a depth of five or six feet is being

made use of. Nourishment from this

depth is brought to the surface and

used in making the crop that after-

wards, if turned under, will deposit it

within the first eight or ten inches of

surface soil.



Another lesson that we learn from

nature’s method of restoring fertility

to worn soil, is that we should keep a

covering over the surface of the

ground for the purpose of retaining

moisture. If nature is left to have

her way, every fall she will provide

some kind of a. covering on the soil

that will serve as a protection during

the freezing weather of winter. At

this season such a. covering has other

functions aside from holding mosture.

It prevents washing away of soil at

times of thaws or heavy rains. It is

also a great protection for seeds of all





kinds during the cold weather, for





when so covered they will not winter-

kill and will make growth below if

not above ground, earlier in the

spring than they would otherwise.

Nature always returns to the soil

all of the vegetation that is produced

on it. This is something we cannot

do, however, and make a profit from

our farms, but there are some systems

of farming‘where it is possible to a

much larger extent than it is in oth-

ers. Upon a dairy farm where nothing

is sold from the. place except butter,





OCT. .10. 1914;

and all of the crops—raised are" fed to

stock and the manure returned to the

soil, nature’s plan is. followed more

closely than is possible in any other

system of farming. The next best

method is in the raising of live stock

for the market and feeding them on

the crops that are produced on the

farm. But in some cases such sys~

terns of farming are not desirable or

suitable, and then the question be-

comes more difficult.



In such cases cover crops should be

sown as soon as possible after the

main crop that is grown during the

summer is gotten out of the way. If

this is too late to sow a legume, rye

will serve a good purpose, and should

be sown in the fall on all land that is

to be idle during the winter, unless

fall or winter plowing is to be prac-

ticed. In the spring the cover crop

will have made good growth and when

turned under will be of value to the

crops that are to follow. Nature has

proven to us that this plan works out

successfully and therefore we should

try so far as it is practical to fol-

low it.

THE MICHIGAN BEAN CROP.





O





 





It is generally conceded that the

Michigan bean crop is short from one

million to one and a half million

bushels, as compared to the crop of

1913. A conservative estimate would

be a shortage of 20 to 25 per cent,

based on appearances in the field and

actual threshing. The United States

government estimate was made some

time ago at normal (eight-year aver-

age) in this state, which is a gross

error, or rather an estimate made

before damage by blight and other

conditions was apparent.



Several influential dealers have re-

marked that the bean market is in

the hands of the grower. In other

words, if the crop is put on the mar—

ket as it can be handled prices will

be maintained at not less than a $2

basis at the elevators.



The food value of beans, as com-

pared to flour and meat prices, and

also cost of production, should not go

below four cents per pound to the

grower. I enclose clipping from a

paper published in the center of one

of the best bean growing sections of

Michigan. Much damage was done to

beans in the northern belt by wet

weather.



Several conferences were held this

summer with bean growers and a rep

resentative from the Department of

Markets at Washington. A tentative

plan was agreed upon for the organi-

zation of the Michigan bean growers.

This body would thoroughly know the

acreage and yield, together with the

general market conditions. The plans

embraced some of the ideas of the

lima bean growers of California. The

price of beans would be made in ac-

cordance with conditions and main—

tained by conservative marketing. The

European war, with the advance in

bean prices at that time, together

with the cotton situation, has pre—

vented the United States agents of

marketing from giving the Michigan

bean situation attention as promised.





If Michigan farms were placarded'





with “Beans $2.25 per bushel for 1914"

as the railroads have been with “safe-

ty first,” the price would be main-

tained. If 50 bean growers would

meet at some central point in Michi—

gan within the next two or three

weeks, the situation could be staged-





to accomplish at least as much as the.





cotton growers of the south have

done. When one sees the splendid or—

ganization of the Michigan Bean J0m-

bers’ Association, who would as arule

prefer a safe merchandising proposi-

tion to a speculative business, and

then realizes that the bean jobbers'

association has no allies among the

farmers in accomplishing what would

be mutually desirable and gainful, he

wonders, will it always be?

DISINFECTION AND DISINFEC- ‘

ANTS.





 





BY FLOYD W. ROBISON.



The modern way in the treatment

of diseases and in the destruction of

insect pests is the employment of

suitable disinfectants, and other

means of disinfection. Surgery is im-

possible without disinfectants. The

combating of the spread of contagious

diseases is scarcely possible without

the employment of effective disinfec-

tion. It may thus be seen that disin-

fection and the employment of disin-

fectants has followed closely on the

heels of bacteriologic discoveries. The

scientist working in his laboratory

depends upon disinfectants for his se-

curity against infection. The surgeon

employs disinfectants to prevent in-

fection in the operating room, infec-

tion not alone of the operator but of

the patient as well. The health officer

employs disinfectants as disinfection

is compulsory in cases of epidemics of

contagious diseases to prevent further

spread of the contagion. The employ-

ment of disinfectants has been one of

the distinct marks of the advance of

civilization.



Many Kinds of Disinfectants.



There are a great many kinds of

disinfectants, some working on one

principle, and some on another. Some

disinfectants are exceedingly toxic if

taken internally by man or animals,

others in small quantities are not ex-

ceedingly poisonous. Probably one of

the most efficient disinfectants in use

as far as its activity against bacteria

and germ life is concerned, is bichlor-

ide of mercury, sometimes called cor-

rosive sublimate. Its exceedingly poi.

sonous nature, however, has made its

general employment unsafe and ac-

cordingly undesirable. Probably as

satisfactory a disinfectant as has ever

been used is carbolic acid, or phenol,

as it is chemically known. This pro-

duct, a product of the distillation of

coal tar, has enjoyed a world-wide

reputation as an excellent germicide.





Two General Classes of Disinfectants.





In this connection it may be well to

state that disinfectants generally are

divided into two distinct classes;

those which exert their primary influ-

ence on bacteria and germ life are

called germicides; those which are in-

tended especially for the repelling of

insects are known as insecticides.

Sometimes the disinfectant is both a

germicide and an insecticide, some-

times simply a germicide and some-

times simply an insecticide. Bichlor-

ide of mercury, or corrosive sublimate,

is primarily a germicide although it is

destructive as well to certain forms

of insects. Carpolic acid is also a

germicide and in many respects it is

likewise an insecticide. Formaldehyde

is usually called a germicide alone

and little value is given to it as an

insecticide.



Coal Tar Disinfectants.





From an agricultural point of view

one of the most interesting classes of

disinfectants which have been offered

for sale are the general classes known

as creosote oil and coal tar disinfect-

ants. These products as a rule con-

sist of more or less crude creosote pil

combined with a combination of rosin

and soda solution. This is essentially,

it will be seen, a solution of creosote

oil in rosin soap. Of course, soap it-

self has a certain disinfecting value,

but for certain purposes creosote oil

has been found to be very efficient as

an insecticide and in some respects as

a germicide as well. Several years

ago when the movement of cattle

throughout the country became quite

general, Congress placed. under the





jurisdiction of the Bureau of Animal





Industry certain powers with refer-

ence to the control and standardiza-

tion of certain disinfectants used to

eradicate insect pests and the accom-

panying diseases from live stock in

transit from state to state.





The Texas Fever Tick.





It was found that a certain tick, a

parasite on the Texas cattle, was the

agent which carried the germs of the

Texas fever from one cow to another

and it was primarily for the purpose

of eradicating this disease that this

power was placed in the hands of the

government. The method in vogue to

most effectively rid stock of this pest

was to dip the cattle in a dilute solu-

tion of creosote oil disinfectant. Creo-

sote oil used for this purpose contains

varying quantities of a coal tar acid

known as cresylic acid. Cresylic acid

is analogous in a general way to car-

bolic acid and while perhaps as effec-

tive, and perhaps more so, than car-

bolic acid as a germicide it does not

seem to have the toxic properties so

generally accredited to carbolic acid.

Cresylic acid, therefore, rapidly grew

in favor as an agent in the dipping of

cattle and creosote oil containing





' varying quantities of this cresylic acid





became the general product employed

for this purpose.

Strength of Solution.



It was found by the government that

a solution in water containing about

0.2 per cent of cresylic acid and about

1.00 per cent of coal tar hydrocar-

bons was a'very effective agent for

combating the Texas fever tick, and as

many manufacturing companies began

to place upon the market this product

steps were taken early by the govern-

ment to standardize all these products

which were used for the above named

purposes. Manufacturers accordingly

were asked to submit their product to

the Bureau of Animal Industry and

upon analysis by the Bureau they

were given permission to use their

product for official dipping, providing

they would use it in the proportion

directed by the government. These

products therefore, when conforming

to the above requirements became

more or less official under the protec-

tion of the United States Bureau of

Animal Industry. '



Germicidal Power.



In the natural progress which has

been made with these products there

has arisen a demand to know just how

efficient they were for germicidal pur-

poses, and the difficulty arose of as-

certaining some way of measuring the

real germicidal power of the disin-

fectants. Bichloride of mercury, for

example, is considered an efficient dis-

infectant when a 1-10 per cent solu-

tion, or one part in 1000 solution, is

prepared. Carbolic acid requires a

much stronger solution for efficient

disinfection. One disinfectant will be

effective apparently in a. 1-100 per cent

solution applied to typhosis germs and

much more effective when applied to

some other germs. So that a difficul-

ty arose in establishing any standard

way of measuring the comparative

disinfecting values of two products.

Probably the most common disinfect-

ant in use is carbolic acid, and the

public generally has some idea of the

value of carbolic acid as a disinfect-

ant because at one time or another

nearly every person has employed car-

bolic acid in this capacity. If, there-

fore, the disinfectant in question could

be given some rating alongside of car-

bolic acid it was supposed that its

real value would be most thoroughly

appreciated by the public.

HOW WE KEEP APPLES. potatoes. They can stand cold weath-



er better.





 





We have had considerable experi-

ence storing apples for home use and

have learned many things which we

believe will be of advantage to others

desiring to keep apples this winter.



In the first place we found that ap-

ples from thrifty growing trees will

keep longer than apples of the same

variety grown on old declining trees.

We had several Spitzenberg trees that

when in their primal vigor grew ap-

ples that kept well until spring——

equally as well as Baldwins—but

when they became old, many of the





. apples would be found rotting on the





trees, and the sound ones when pick-

ed, and given the best of care, would

decay sooner than when the trees

were young. They seemd to have lost

that peculiar property we call the

“keeping quality,” which, is absent

from summer and fall apples.





The Time to Pick for Keeping.



Apples to be kept until spring

should be picked as soon as ripe; that

is, when full grown, and the seeds

black. If left on the trees after this

they are sure to be more or less dam-

aged for keeping. Nearly all farmers

put off apple gathering too long, and

the result is that many of the largest

and finest flavored fruit falls off, gets

bruised and is wasted. Those which

still hang on the trees become over-

ripe, and sometimes scalded by the

hot sun. Until ripe, the apples expos-

ed to the sun will be the,highest flav-

ored, but after this the sun is a dam-

age and the apples should be picked

and placed in a shade. They should

also be picked before there is any

likelihood of a frost. Our experience

is that one hard frost will injure the

keeping quality of apples.



We had a. variety of winter apples

called the Fall Pippin which, under

favorable conditions would keep until

June, and for a wonder ’bruised ap—

ples would keep nearly as well as

those carefully handled. The juice

was thick and sticky. A bruise, and

even a wound in the skin, dried quick-

ly without causing a rot. I have seen

apples of this variety with a small

piece knocked entirely out by falling

on a stone, that had healed over and

was sound in the spring. They were

good eating apples and excellent

keepers.



Care After Picking.





As soon as picked our apples are

taken to the storehouse and emptied

carefully on a clean floor. They are

not piled up high but are spread as

much as possible. The shutters are

closed to keep out the sun, and to

keep the temperature as cool and

even as possible. Late in the fall, on

a pleasant day, the shutters are open-

ed and the apples are closely sorted.

The large, fair apples are put into

bags; the small ones, and those with

rotten spots, are taken to the base-

ment of the barn where they are kept

without freezing until fed out to the

cows and pigs.



The bags are stood up together, old

carpets are spread over them to pre—

vent freezing, and they are left in the

storehouse until there is every ap-

pearance that winter is just at hand.

A pit is made, only a few inches deep,

15 feet long and three feet , wide.

Straw is placed in the bottom, the ap-

ples emptied on it until it is shaped

like a house roof. Straw is placed on

the apples and on the straw about five

inches of dirt. A roof of 16—foot boards

is made by beginning at the bottom,

lapping them _on each other, and

slightly nailing. The roof prevents the

apples from getting wet y rains or

melting snow and answers in the place

of more dirt to prevent freezing. Ap-

ples should net be buried as deeply as





Some people may not believe it, but

apples can be frozen as solid as rocks

when buried, and if left there until

the frost comes out of the ground in

the spring, will be perfectly sound.

and as palatable as if they had not

been frozen. I opened a hole of ap-

ples one winter and found them froz~

on so hard that they rattled like

round stones as they rolled down. I

closed the hole tightly with dirt and

when opened in the spring after the

frost came out of the ground, were

found to be as sound and good tasting

as when buried. Apples kept in the

kitchen cellar are kept as cool as pos-

sible without freezing. Laid on the

shelves so they don’t touch each other

none will rot. Apples that are buried

will taste fresher and better than

those kept in the cellar.

PEARS FOR WINTER USE.





 





During the past few years large

quantities of pears'have been sent to

New York, and placed in cold storage

for winter use. Western pears are

not uncommon in the New York mar‘

kets on fruit stands during December,

January, and later. Winter Nellis

pears packed in boxes were seen one

winter in the salesrooms of a wellf

known commission house in New

York. Each pear was wrapped neatly

and carefully packed in boxes. This

fruit had been in cold storage, but

there was little or no sale for it. The

merchant said that one year ago the

same party who sent these pears from

his Colorado orchard sent others, but

they were poorly selected, badly grad-

ed and not well packed. As a conse-

quence they were not satisfactory to

the buyer‘s. Last winter the fruit was

in much better condition, more care-

fully graded, but the same parties

who bought the previous winter stock

avoided it, and would not take them

at any price.



The merchant said he had found it

practically impossible to dispose of

the fruit. In fact, several boxes on

the floor were consigned to various

fruit dealers as a compliment from

the commission house. ‘The dealer

said he found this necessary in order

to convince his customers that this

fruit was of better quality than fruit

of the same variety sent them the

previous winter. He said that they

experienced much difficulty every year

in matters of this sort, as some fruit

growers seem to think they get the

fancy prices for anything that was

covered with paper.





Anjou and Winter Nellis pears

properly put up, will be eagerly

bought up at a good price in the New

York market next January. If fruit

growers would pay more attention to

the picking, handling and marketing

of late varieties of pears, there is ev-

ery reason to believe there would

soon be a good market demand for

them. The pears above mentioned of

medium size often sell in New York

markets on local fruit stands in De-

cember at 25 to 60 cents per dozen.



New York. S. VANAKEN.





Although South America imports

about $15,000,000 worth of canned

goods annually, the United States fur-

nishes only about 18 per cent of the

total, of which the principal item is

canned salmon. That the sales of

canned goods in this field can be

greatly increased is the opinion of

Commercial Agent E. A. Thayer, of

the Department of Commerce, who re-

cently completed an investigation of

the Latin-American markets for this

line of goods.

THE DIAGNOSIS OF HOG CHOL-

ERA. ’





 





The positive detection of hog chol-

era is not always easy. With some

infectious diseases thepdiagnosis is

made possible either by' finding the

germ or by some reliable and specific

test. With hog cholera this is not the

case. The diagnosis of hog cholera is

usually the result of one’s judgment

based on the study of the history of

the case, the surroundings and the

appearance of a case, both before and

after death. The diagnosis even then

is only an opinion and is either con-

firmed or rejected by future develop-

ments. We believe in this country

that there is only one highly contagi-

ous disease of swine and we call this

disease hog cholera. The first indica-

tion of the disease could be determin-

ed by the thermometer since the tem-

prature rises from about 102 degrees

(normal) to 105 degrees or more be-

fore any other marked symptoms ap-

pear. Such a rising temperature, how-

ever, and the following symptoms al~

so, may be due to some other cause.

The farmer may first notice great

thirst on the part of the sick pig, an

inclination to lie in the bedding, an

indisposition to move, drooping of the

ears and tail and a roughness of the

coat. The pig may stagger when

walking and may suffer from either

constipation or diarrnea or both alter-

nate. The eyelids may be glued to-

gether by the discharges of inflamma-

tion and in some cases the pig may

vomit. Later the skin, especially of

the abdomen and ears, may become

discolored, either bluish or reddish,

and the pig becomes greatly emaciat-

ed and perhaps coughs.



At times the tail, ears, snout and

even portions of the skin may slough

off. In the meantime a greater por-

tion of the herd may become affected.

There is no test that can be applied

in the laboratory that is of any assist-

ance in the diagnosis at this time. To

make the diagnosis more sure a care-

ful post mortem examination of the

sick pig, or even of a number of the

sick animals may be made. Since hog

cholera is a disease primarily of the

blood, we will expect to find hemor-

rhages, very minute or larger, scat-

tered throughout the body, especially

of the kidneys, of the heart, the lungs

or on the smooth membranes that

cover all the organs.



That lymph nodes which are dis-

tributed throughout the body and the

spleen usually show a reddened condi-

tion due to a disturbance of the blood.

Later there may be ulcers in the

large intestine and the lungs may be

affected with pneumonia.



When such a disease as we have de-

scribed appears in a herd we make

the diagnosis of hog cholera. The

sooner we can determine hog cholera

the more certain we are to benefit

thereby. The use of hog cholera ser-

um not only furnishes us the only pre-

ventive treatment that We know, but

it also serves as a method of diag-

nosis. In other words, if we suspect

cholera as a result of the symptoms

which I first indicated, the use of the

serum on all the healthy hogs should

prevent the further spread of the dis-

ease. If it does not, we are inclined

to conclude that the disease is not hog

cholera. We think this conclusion

justifiable in those cases where potent

serum is properly applied. This meth-

od of treatment should be always

adopted, the serum should be procur-

ed through some reliable source and

under no circumstances should de-

pendence be placed on any other pre-

ventive treatment than the serum





made according to the method devis-

ed by the United States government.

We know of no Cure for this dis-





ease. A reliable veterinarian may

give helpful prescriptions and advice

along the lines of diet and care that

may assist nature, but the farmer

should beware of quacks and patent

medicines that have not been proven

by disinterested parties to be effec-

tive. The use of the srum alone and

the destruction of all the sick hogs

together with thorough cleaning and

disinfection of premises should per-

manently check the spread of hog

cholera and prevent its reappearance

on the unaffected farm and what is

of equal importance, prevent its

spread throughout the community.

The serum should be used early in the

course of the disease and affected

hogs should be isolated so that dogs,

birds, as well as careless individuals

cannot have access to them or to their

discharges.



There is no cure for hog cholera

except nature, and she does very in-

different work in this connection. Hog

cholera can be prevented and its

spread can be checked by adopting

methods similar to those adopted in

the prevention and control of con—

tagious diseases of man. Do not place

too much confidence in serum and

never use serum unless it is known to

be made by a reliable laboratory and

never fail to impose a quarantine on

your own unaffected hogs and then

isolate and disinfect. No damage is

done if it turns out that the disease

is not cholera when these methods are

adopted and while the serum will do

no good with other diseases, the other

methods suggested will be beneficial.

RESULTS IN FEEDING DRY

ROUGHAGE.





 





For several years silo manufactur-

ers and writers in farm publications

have been telling us that it is neces.

sary to add succulency to the ration

fed our cows, if we would have them

produce the maximum amount of milk

at least possible cost. I believe that

good ensilage is an economical feed,

but I also believe that every winter a

large number of cows are compelled

to eat silage that should be condem-

ned, as unfit to feed cows producing

milk for human consumption.



I have been selling milk for ten

years and have fed practically all corn

in the bundle as it come from the

binder. Cleaning stalksout of the

manger is a disagreeable job but it

takes but a few minutes from every

day. I am fortunate in having plenty

of barn room or I might think more

favorably of a silo. During the year

ending September 1 I milked seven

cows. One of the cows, a heifer,

calved in June, three cows in August,

one three-year-old in September, one

cow in October and a three-year-old

in December, and they produced as

MORE ABOUT THE LATH AND



PLASTER SILO.





 





In regard to your plan of a lath and

plastered silo, which you described in

the August 22 issue, I would like to

have more of your information about

it. Would the lath be all right at

half or three-quarters of an inch by

three-inch? I have oak I could use

for that purpose. Is there any danger

of moisture rusting the nails? Would

it be good to give it a coat of plaster

on the outside between the studdings

and then put on the siding? Should

there be any airholes above the Sill

to give it an air circulation?



Iosco Co. . F.



Nearly every kind of lath imagin-

able has been used for these silos

with success. It makes but little dif-

ference about the kind of lath, any-

thing that will hold the cement mor~

tar. For one silo we picked up pieces

of boards, the waste from building,a

barn, sawed them into 16-inch lengths,

just long enough to reach from one

studding to another, then split them

into strips two to three inches wide

and nailed them on; this is just as





 





’good as any. What we want is a.





foot-10.4514...





good smooth. surface of cement plas-

ter. The nails will not rust. How can

they, no moisture can get to them?

The silo can be lathed and plastered

on the outside as well as on the inside

but it would not be as cheap as half-

inch siding. You don’t need the tight

cement coat on the outside. No air-

holes are necessary.





SEALING THE SILO WITH SALT.





 





Has any one had experience with

putting salt on top of silage to keep

same fromspoiling. I either read or

heard of it somewhere and would like

to try same if there is anything in it.



Allegan Co. C. W.



I had my first experience with Salt

to preserve silage, last year. I had

never heard of the practice before

that. It certainly is a great help and

if thoroughly and properly done will

preserve the silage with practically

no loss whatever. We tramped the

silage thoroughly and smoothed it off

fairly well, and then spread on the

salt. In one silo we did not put suffi-

cient salt to keep the air out, and a

little of the silage spoiled. In anoth-

er we put more salt and there was

very little loss. Had we taken a lit-

tle more pains to tramp the top, and

been a little more careful in smooth-

ing the top, I am confident there

would have been no loss. It takes at

least two barrels of salt for a silo 15

feet in diameter. The salt, however,

is not wasted, for the extreme top of

the silo can be fed gradually and the

salt all utilized.





 





USING A TANK HEATER.





 





We are building a shed with a tank-

house in one end of it and are won-

dering if it will be better to build

a cement tank and use a, tank heater

or to have a tank that we can let the

water out of in the winter and thus

give the cows fresh water right from

the well. Some men say cows do bet-

ter on warm water and. some claim

they do not. . ‘



Dundee, Mich. H. J.





If your cows have to go outdoors in

the winter time to drink, I think it

would be better to have a tank full of

water and then heat it with a tank

heater. On cold days water from the

well will be most too cold. You will

not water them more than once or

twice a day and the cows will drink

so much of it in the cold, cold water

from the well, that it will tend to chill

them. If your cows are in good warm

stables then it would be different. I

should think then that water fresh

from the well, or of a little cooler

temperature, would be relished more

than the warm water. There is an—

other thing to be considered, and that

is that it is not always convenient to

pump the water fresh. Sometimes we

have many other things to do at the

same time, and it is quite a chore to

have to pump the water every day

fresh from the well for the cattle, but

if you have a storage tank it can be

pumped with a mindmill and you will

always have water on hand, and all

one has to do is to fire up the tank

heater and keep the water warm so

that it will not freeze.





CURING COWS LEAKING MILK.





 





We saw a query from W. F. S] in

the Michigan Farmer, with reference

to cow leaking milk. We have bought

leakers and hard milkers of good

quality and have cured them by mak—

ing a blister of corosive sublimate and

a. little grease of any kind. This should

be made into a paste and a small

amount applied close around orifice of

teat. It will soon blister and if let

alone will contract and close the op-

ening enough to stop the leaking.

This had better be done when the

cow is dry.



This remedy will also close up a

hole in .the side of the teat, although

it may need two or three applications

to close a. bad one. It is cheap and I





have used it many times with success. '

‘DRAINING THE SILO.





 





‘ I am going to build [a silo. " Nowell ‘





Wish to knew ifmI should leave a hole

in the, bottom of the silo, with a tile

leading from it. ‘



Van Buren' Co. ' W. F.. M. ’





The silo should be as near air-tight

as it is possible to' make it. Under

no consideration leave a hole in the

bottom for drainage. If you do, air

will enter the bottom of the silo and

the result will be'a lot 'of spoiled or

rotten silage. A hole near the top of

the silo would not be so serious, be-

cause you would soon feed down away

from it, but an opening for air at the

bottom might cause an immense

amount of silage to spoil. If you can

make your silo so tight that the corn

juice will not run out.





ELEVATING BEET' TOPS INTO THE

- SILO.





:





Saw your article in the Michigan

Farmer on putting beet tops into a

silo, and if they are put in without

cutting, was wondering how you

would get them in. There are no silos

near our farm and it would be diffi-

cult to get a filler. We have about 60

acres of beets and didn’t know before

that the tops would make silage and

as yet we have no silo. If I could

find out the particulars at once, I

would still have time to put up one.

It would save us a lot because, other-

wise, we would have to buy a lot of

roughage this winter. .



Gratiot Co. P. F. C.





I built one silo for the purpose of

storing sugar beet tops. I built it

right by the side of the driveway that

goes into the barn. This driveway is

about eight feet high. Then, when

the beet tops are loaded into the ordi-

nary beet rack one can pitch them in

so that the silo will be filled about 15

feet without very much trouble. To

get it higher than this, of course, they

have to be elevated. One year I rig-

ged up an old-fashioned slat carrier

and ran this with a gasoline engine.

It worked very nicely. Of course, if

you could get a man who owned an

ensilage cutter to use his machine for

this work, you could elevate them

with the modern ensilage cutter.



I have an idea that if I have to ele-

vate beet tops again into the silo, that

I would rig up a big bucket that would

hold one-third or one-half of a load

of beet tops and fix up a gin pole with

a pulley. Then elevate this with a

horse and dump it into the silo. I

believe it would work all right and

would be an inexpensive way of get-

ting the tops into the silo. It may be |

it wouldn’t work as well as one would

think, but I believe it wouldvbe the

cheapest way that one could elevate

the beet tops into the silo.





 





LlNlNG FOR SILQ DOORS.





 





Is it all right to put tar paper on

the inside of the silo doors to exclude

the air?



Grand Traverse Co. E. A. W.





It is not necessary to put the paper

over the entire door. Simply put it

around the jamb of the door and then

shut the door tight against it. In

this way the paper acts the same as a

gasket for a steam pipe or a gasoline

engine cylinder. Of course, if your

side doors are only one board thick-

ness it would be better to put the

paper over the entire surface.





THE NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW.





 





The Annual National Dairy Show

will be held in Chicago, October 22 to

31. During this show everything new

and of interest to the dairy interests

will be shown. Meetings and conven-

tions of various associations interest-

ed in the dairy business will also be

held. Arrangements of the meeting

of 15 such associations are already

made. .



A good Judging program is arrang-

ed and the premiums oflered are

worthy of the raisers of high quality

dairy cows. Students’ judging con-

tests are also on the program and the

agricultural colleges will have teams

there for the competition.



Every day will be a special days

Each dairy breed will have a special





fday as will also the various dairy and





farmers’ organizations. For their own

benefit dairy farmers are urged to at-

tend this show.

CURRENT COMMENT.





 





. Full courses in agri-

Agriculture in

High Schools. given in forty-two high



schools of Michigan.



Eleven high schools began this work

with the present school year, which

indicates the progress which is being

made in the teaching of agriculture in

the high schools of Michigan. Last

year approximately 1,000 boys took

agricultural erk of different grades

in these schoo s, and 356 young wom-

en were also enrolled in certain of the

agricultural subjects. This year the

number of high school students doing

agricultural work will be increased by

about one-third.



This thorough instruction of many

hundreds of Michigan boys and girls

in the fundamental principles of ag-

riculture, means much to the future

of Michigan agriulture. Many of these

young people will become so interest-

ed in the subject that they will go

back to the farms of the state and do

constructive work in the betterment

of the agriculture of their respective

communities. Others of them will be-

come teachers in the primary shools

of the state, where their training will

enable them to give efficient instruc-

tion in elementary agricultural sub-

jects, which are now required to be

taught in the primary schools.

THE MICHIGAN Firms





When. the":yonng_'tman; ‘or the old

man either, for that matter, is once

interested in the possibilities of agri-

culture from the standpoint of the

student, his life as a farmer has been

greatly broadened. So, also, has his

usefulness in the community, for

these men who have learned to sup-

plement their practical experience

with experimentation and' study on

their own initiative are bound to af-

ford many valuable object lessons to

others in their community which will

help in raising the plane of agriculs

ture in that community far more than

teaching alone could do. Thus, the

agriculture. taught in our high schools

will aid the. fathers as well as their

sons. ‘





, It has ever been the



State Bonds for policy of the Michi-

Good Roads. gan Farmer to keep

its readers advised



regarding important propositions sub-

mitted to the voters of the state at

general elections. These are, for the

most part, confined to proposed

amendments to the constitution of the

state, which are of necessity submit-

ted to the electors some time after

they have been acted on by the

Legislature, and of which the av-

erage voter would naturally have

little knowledge at the time of their

submission unless his attention .was

specifically directed to the matter.

Meritorious propositions are often de-





feated at the polls for the simple rea--





son that a large percentage of the

voters of the state do not thoroughly

understand them and, less frequently

perhaps, a proposition is adopted

which is not in accord with the sober

second thought of the electorate. For

these reasons we have considered it

a public duty to call the attention of

Michigan Farmer readers to the sub-

ject matter of proposed amendments

to the constitution of the state prior

to the election at which same are sub-

mitted to the electors for ratification.



Several proposed amendments sub-

mitted by the last Legislature to the

electors of the state for their approval

were voted on at the spring election

held in April, 1913. A few others will,

in accordance with the resolutions of

the two houses of the Legislature, be

submitted for approval at the general

election to be held in 1914, which will

be the coming November election.

Among these the most important,

hence the first to be commented on, is

a proposed amendment to section 10

of article 10 of the constitution, the

purpose of which is to permit the issu-

ing of state bonds for the purpose of

improving the public wagon roads of

the state. This section, including the

proposed amendment, reads as fol-

lows:



Sec. 10. The state may contract

debts to meet deficits in revenue, but

such debts shall not in the aggregate

at any time exceed two hundred

fifty thousand dollars. The state may

also contract debts to repel invasion,

suppress insurrection, defend the state

or aid the United States in time of

war. The state may also issue. bonds

for the purpose of raising money for

the construction and permanent im-

proVement of the public wagon roads

of, the state. The money so raised

shall be applied to the purposes for

which it is raised, or to the payment

of the debts contracted.



This wording is identical with that

of the section as it now stands, ex-

cept for the sentence relating to the

issuing of bonds for good roads, which

is added and is the gist of the propos-

al. Its real import is, however, much

broader than WOuld at first seem from

a casual reading of the amendment,

in that its adoption would unques-

tionably place in the hands of the

Legislature the power to vote bonds

for this specific purpose to the limit

of the state’s ability to sell them

without any referendum whatever to

the voters of the state. This is a





proposition which is revolutionary in

character and merits careful consid-

eration wholly apart from the propo-

sition of the desirability of the im-

provement. of the wagon roads of the

state through the issuing of state





bondszft‘to cqsver the cost- of such im:





provement.





It is to be regretted that the framv





ers of this proposed amendment so

worded it as to make it include a

vital principle of government as well

as the ostensible purpose of the

amendment, since there is good rea-

son to believe that it may, in the not

distant future, seem entirely proper

and desirable for the state to- issue

bonds for the purpo‘se named. While

it has always been against the policy

of the state to issue bonds‘or con-

tract debts for any purpsoe except in

times of most pressing need, as will

be noted by the narrow restrictions

of the constitutional provision, and

while it is a reasonable assumption

that the voters of the state would not

understandingly vote to change that

general policy, sans all restrictions

and any voice in the proceedings, cir-

cumstances are easily conceivable in

which it might be desirable to greatly





modify it, and for this particular pur-'





pose. The federal Congress has under

consideration plans for the grant-

ing of national aid for road. improve-

ment in the various states. As these

plans have taken form it seems prob.

able that such aid will finally be

granted through the issuing of gov-

ernment bonds for a large sum, the

proceeds of same to be allotted to the

states under an equable plan upon de-

posit of state bonds bearing a higher

rate of interest, which excess in inter-

est would go into a. sinking fund to

provide for final retirement of the

bonds. Under such a. plan it would un-

questionably be desirable for Michi-

gan to be in a position to avail herself

of such aid, and it is a most unfor-

tunate that this amendment is so

worded as to compel the voters to ap-

prove such a plan, if at all, at the ex:

pense of delegating their right to de‘

termine the extent or terms of the

debt to be incurred to the Legislature

of the state without other restric-

tions than the general purpose to

which the funds so raised shall be

applied.



We are strongly in favor of the im-

provement of the common roads of

the state, and. the progress of such

improvement in recent year‘s indicates

that we are in line with public senti-

ment in this direction. The people of

many counties in which the county

road system has been adopted have

shown that they were not opposed to

the issuing of bonds for that purpose.

If this question were put fairly up to

the voters of the state it is entirely

probable that they would approve of

an issue» of state bonds for the same

purpose. But this proposed constitu-

tional amendment also involves the

question of delegating to representa-

tives, yet to be selected, this very

power which is the voter’s inherent

right, and if the amendment is defeat-

edthe over zealous framers who over-

looked or underestimated this factor

can blame only themselves.





HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK].

The , European Wan—Desperate

fighting has continued the past Week

in all the theatres of war in Europe.

In the west claims have been made of

victories by both sides, but it would

appear that the Allies have had the

better of the conflict thus far. The

enveloping movement on the Allies’

left to "trap the German right has been

in part successful. On Monday it was

also reported that the Allies' right

wing was beating back the. German

forces under the Crown Prince. In

general, however, the battle is as yet

undecisive, and there is every proba-

bility of its being continued for. days,

and possibly weeks. The .fighting m

eastern Prussia and Russian Poland

has increased in violence, It being re-

ported that the Czar of Russra and

Emperor William are now with

their respective forces. It seems that

the rapidly increasing numbers of

Russian troops are causing Germans

to look upon the situation in the east

with considerable gravity. The Rug-

sians were reported successful ‘in an

while an estimate of the German loss-

Caste System Thwarts Hindu Progress





By PROF. ALFRED VIVIAN.





HERE is an old limerick which

everyone has heard time and

again, that runs as follows:





“The poor benighted Hindu



He does the best he kin do,



He sticks to his caste



From first to last



And for clothes he makes his skin do.”





'These lines written as the veriest

piece of nonsense rhyming are in

reality a brief but comprehensive ser-

monette on Hinduism.



Of the three hundred and fifteen

million people in India, over two-

thirds belong to the Hindus or the

followers of Brahmanism. One of the

principal tenets of this religion, or

state of society, or whatever it is (for

its followers themselves are not sure

that it is a religion) is that which di-

vides the people into “castes.” Orig-

inally there were only four castes;

i. e., the Brahmans, or priests, the

Kshattriyas, or soldiers, the Vaisyas,

including agriculturists and trades‘

men, and the Sudras or common lab-

orers to whom fell the most menial

work. Gradually, however, these

castes have been divided and sub—di-

vided, until it is estimated that there

are over 4,000 different

castes. The word “esti-





spised the cast to which he belongs.



The trade unions of the United

States are not “in it” with the castes

of India for exclusiveness. A friend

of ours had working for him a sweep-

er (which, by the way, is one of the

very lowest castes) who made a de-

mand for more pay. The employer

said: “I can not pay you more for

sweeping which takes only a small

part of your time, but if you will also

work in the garden I will increase

your wages,” to which the man

agreed. The next day the regular

gardener came to the house and said,

“Sahib, give me my pay. I can not

work for you because you have sent

a sweeper out to work in the gar-

den.” It was not that the man so

much minded working beside a sweep-

er, but he knew that if he did so he

would be outcasted. An English lady

we met tells of a “bearer” (a servant

who waits at the table), whom she

asked to remove a cobweb which was

in the corner of the ceiling. To re-

move it he tied a feather duster on





course), fell upon the food it would

be unfit for use. To eat such food

wouldmean that the partaker would

lose caste. It is sometimes said that

caste is losing its hold upon the In-

dian people but it is difficult to im-

agine that the hold of caste could

have ever been stronger than it is at

the present time.



If the priests have their way about

it, the caste system will never die out

for they depend upon it to retain their

position in life and their hold on the

population. Naturally, they rather en-

joy the sensation of being the top of

the heap, and being able to dictate to

the lower castes in all matters both

temporal and spiritual.



Theoretically, the religion of the

Hindus consists in the worship of the

one god Brahma, in his three personal

manifestations of Brahma, the creat-

or; Vishu, the preserver, and Shiva,

the destroyer and reproducer. These

gods have various wives, sons and

daughters who come in for a share of

worship also. As a matter of fact, the





ons. The Hindu mind has no concep-

tion of a kind and merciful God, con-

sequently, the god to whom the great-

est number of temples are dedicated

is Chiva whose terrible character

makes him a god to be feared and

flattered. scarcely less worshipped is

Durga, the bloodthirsty Wife of Shiva,

who is said to delight in destruction

and bloody sacrifices.



The most wonderful of the temples





dedicated to Shiva is the one located





at Madura in Southern India. The im-

mense structure is one of barbaric

splendor and like all the truly Hindu

temples is replete with wonderful

carvings. The several high towers

are covered with carvings represent

ing scenes from the lives of the gods,

and are hideous in the extreme, al-

though the execution of the work

commands great admiration. We have

seen hundreds of Hindu temples dur-

ing the last few weeks and are ready

to pronounce them among the filthiest

places to be found in the world. Ap-

parently no attempt is made to keep

them clean. Shops of all kinds are

found in the corridors and all waste

materials are thrown in-

discriminately about. The





 





mated” is used advisedly

for no man who lives

would pretend to say ex-

actly how many different

castes there are in India.

No member of one caste

is allowed to marry into

another caste, nor is it

permissible for a person to

eat with one of another

caste, or even to eat food

cooked by any one belong-

ing to a different caste

from his own. The Brah-

mans belong to the high-

est caste and the Sudras

are the lowest, but the

subdivision of the four or-

iginal castes has brought

about a gradation in rank

from the highest to lowest

caste that is beyond the

understanding of the Oc-

cidental mind, and, in fact,

no Hindu even claims to

know the relative stand-

ing of all the castes. Be—

low all of the castes are

fifty millions of people

who are “outcasts,” or in

other words, belong to the

“untouchables” for merely

to touch one of them

would make a person lose his stand-

ing in his own caste. Violations of

certain laws of caste may result in a

man being “outcasted” when he then

becomes one of the “untouchables.”

A man is born into a certain caste

and can not by any means become a

member of another one. A shoemak-

er’s son must be a shoemaker; a

farmer’s son must perforce be a farmer.

and the son of a Brahman is a Brah-

man willy-nilly. He can do some





dreadful act (like eating with a Chris-





tian) which will send him pell-mell to

join the ranks of the “depressed class-

es” (as the learned Hindu is now

fond of calling them), but strive as he

may he can never rise above the con-

dition into which he was born, no

matter what his, ability nor how de-

the end of a stick and was caught in

the act by one of his fellow bearers

who reported that he was doing a

sweeper’s work, With the result that

the servant in question barely escaped

being outcasted.



Soon after arriving in India I was

walking down the street of one of the

native cities when my curiosity was

aroused by a man who was peddling

a variety of queer looking cakes and

confectionery. The guide told me not

to go too close, and explained after-

ward that if I had touched one cake

the whole tray would have been con-

taminated or rendered “unclean," and

could not have been eaten by any

Hindu. Indeed, some are so strict

that if even the shadow of an outcast

religion of the vast majority of the

people consists in a wild desire to

propitiate the myriads of demons who

stand ready to do them evil at the

slightest provocation or, indeed, with

no provacation whatever. There are

are demons everywhere, in wood, and

plain, and river; big demons and lit-





tle demons, and their chief delight is





to make life miserable for the “poor

benighted‘Hindu.” If he is a farmer

the demons destroy his crops, make

his cows go dry, drive his buffaloes

mad so‘ they horn him, poison his

well, send plagues of mosquitoes,

cause his mud house to fall ,down,

and do a thousand other things that

only ingenious demons can think of,

to annoy mankind. The priests are

only a little less feared than the dem-





cow and-the bull are sa-

cred animals and are al‘

lowed to roam at will in

and out of the temple as

well as among the shops

in the most congested

parts of the city. All the

temples smell like cow

stables, the “Cow Tem—

ples” at Benares being es-

pecially odoriferous, for

here a specialty is made

of worshipping the cow.

We can sympathize to

some extent with the peo-

ple who worship the cow,

but prefer to do so when

she is confined in a sani—

tary American stable, in-

stead of in a bad smelling

Hindu temple which may

be approached only by

wading through filthy

streets, stumbling over

dirty and diseased beg-

gars, and laying oneself

open to the attacks of var-

ious and sundry microbes

which find these surround—

ings congenial.



Every Hindu temple has

its “tank” in which the

people may perform their

religious ablutions. These tanks are

large rectangular basins enclosed by

a wall and sometimes are several hun-

dred feet in width and length. They

are commonly, though not always,

surrounded by the buildings of the

temple. The Hindu is required to take

a ceremonial bath every day, this bath

apparently being indulged in for ritu-

alistic purposes rather than with any

idea of becoming clean in the sense

in which we use the word. The bath

must be conducted according to rule,

beginning at a certain point on the

body and following a prescribed

course.

CHAPTER VI.—(Concluded).



“No, I am not tired, aunt, and I

could not sleep just now,” she said.

“You see, after leaving all that behind

one, one feels, as it were, adrift, and

it is necessary to realize one’s self

again.”



The little silver-haired lady who sat

in the big basket chair smiled down

upon her, and laid a thin white hand

that was still beautiful, upon the

gleaming hair.



“I can understand, my dear, and am

glad you enjoyed your stay in the

city, because sometimes when I count

your birthdays I can’t help a fancy

that you are not young enough,” she

said. “You have lived out here with

two old people who belong to the

past, too much.”



The girl moved a little, and swept

her glance slowly around the room.

It was small and scantily furnished,

though great curtains shrouded door

and window, and here and there a

picture relieved the bareness of the

walls, which were paneled with rough-

ly-dressed British-Columbian cedar.



The floor was of redwood, diligent-

ly polished and adorned, not covered,

by one or two skins brought by some

of Colonel Barrington’s younger neigh-

bors from the Rockies. There were

two basket chairs and a. plain red-

wood table; but in contrast to them a

cabinet of old French workmanship

stood in one corner bearing books in

dainty bindings, and two great silver

candlesticks. The shaded lamp was

also of the same metal, and the whole

room, with its faint resinous smell

conveyed, in a fashion not uncommon

on the prairie, a suggestion of taste

and refinement held in check by at

least comparative poverty. Colonel

Barrington was a widower who had

been esteemed a man of wealth, but

the founding of Silverdale had made

a serious inroad on his'finances. Ev-

en yet, though he occasionally prac-

ticed it, he did not take kindly to

economy.



“Yes,” said the girl, “I enjoyed it

all—and it was so different from the

prairie.”



There was comprehension, and a.

trace of sympathy, in Miss Barring-

ton’s nod. “Tell me a little, my dear,”

she said. “There was not a. great

deal about it in your letters.”



Her niece glanced dreamily into the

sinking fire as though she w0uld call

up the pictures there. “But you know

it all—the life I have only had glimp-

ses of.. Well, for the first few months

I almost lost my head, and was swung

right off my feet by the whirl of it.

It was then I was, perhaps, just a





 





trifle thoughtless.”

Maud Barrington learns more of her cousin’s unsavory

past from a frank conversation with her aunt.





The white-haired lady laughed soft-

ly. “It is difficult to believe it, Maud.”



The girl shook her head reproach-

fully. “I know what you mean, and

perhaps you are right, for that was

what Toinette insinuated," she said.

“She actually told 'me that I should be

thankful I had a brain since I had no

heart. Still, at first I let myself go,

and it was delightful—the opera, the

dances and the covered skating-rink

with the music and the black ice

flashing beneath the lights. The whir

of the toboggans down the great slide

was finer still, and the torchlight

meets of the snowshoe clubs on the.

mountain. Yes, I think I was really

young while it lasted.”



“For a month,” said the elder. "And

after?”



“Then,” said the girl slowly, “it all

seemed to grow a trifle ’purposeless,

and there was something that spoiled

it. Toinette was quite angry and I

know her mother wrote you -» but it

was not my fault, aunt. How was I,

a guileless girl from the prairie, to

guess that such a man would fling the

handkerchief to me?”



The evenness of .tone and entire ab-

sence of embarrassment was signifi-

cant. It also pointed to the fact that

there was a closer confidence between

Maud Barrington and her aunt than

often exists between mother and

daughter, and the elder lady stroked

the lustrous head that rested against

her knee with a little affectionate

pride. ~



“My dear, you know you are beau-

tiful, and you have the cachet that all

the Courthornes wear. Still, you could

not like him? Tell me about him.”



Maud Barrington curled herself - )

further. “I think I could have liked

him, but that was all,” she said. "He

was nice to look at and did all the

little things gracefully; but he had

never done anything else, never would

and, I fancy, never wanted to. Now

a man of that kind would very soon

pall on me, and I should have lost my

temper trying to waken him to his

responsibilities.”



“And what kind of man would

please you?”



Maud Barrington’s eyes twinkled,

but that fact that she answered at all

was a proof of the sympathy between

herself and the questioner. “I do not

know that I am anxious any of them

should,” she said. “But since-you

ask, he would have to be a man first,

a. toiling, striving animal who could

hold his own amidst his fellows

wherever he was placed. Secondly,

one would naturally prefer a gentle-

man, though I do not like the word,

and one ,would fancy the combination

ence, is apt to be taught more than he ?

ever would be at Oxford or in thel

army. Still. men of that stamp for-f

get a. good deal, and learn so much‘

that is undesirable, you see. In fact,

I only know one'man who would have

suited mew-and he is debarred by age

and aflinit‘y—but,‘ because‘we are so

much alike, I can't help fa-ncying that

you once knew another.” , ,

The smile on Miss Barrington's

face, which was still almost beautiful





as well as patient, became a trifle_





wistful.



“There are few better men than my

brother, though he is not clever,” she

said, and dropped her, voice a. little.

“As to the other, he died in India—4

beside his mountain gun—long ago.”



“And you have never forgotten?

He must have been worth it—I won-

der if loyalty and chivalric faith be-

long only to the past,” said the girl,

reaching up a rounded arm and pat-

ting her aunt’s thin hand. “And now

we will be practical. I fancied the

head of the settlement looked worried

when he met me, and he is not very

proficient at hiding his feelings.”



Miss Barrington sighed. “I am

afraid that is nothing very new, and

with wheat steadily falling and our

granaries full, he has cause for anx-

iety. Then the fact that Lance Court'v

home has divided your inheritance

and is going to settle here has been

troubling him.”



“The first is the lesser evil,” said

the girl, with a little laugh. “I wore

very short frocks when I last saw

Lance in England, and so far as I

can remember he had the face of an

angel and the temper of a devil. But

did not my uncle endeavor to buy him

off, and—for I know you have been

finding out things—I want you totell

me all about him.”



“He would not take the money,”

said Miss Barrington, and sat in a.

thoughtful silence a space. Then, and

perhaps she had a reason, she quietly

recounted Courthorne’s Canadian his-

tory so far as her brother’s agents

had been able to trace it, not omitting,

dainty in thought and speech as she

was, one or two incidents which a.

mother might-have kept back from

her daughter’s ears. Still, it was very

seldom that Miss Barrington made a.

blunder. There was a faint pinkness

in her face when she concluded, but

she was not surprised when, with a.

slow, sinuous movement, the girl rose

to her feet. Her cheeks were slightly

flushed, but there was a significant

sparkle in her eyes.



“Oh," she said, in utter contempt.

“How sickening! Are there men like

that?”



There was a little silence, empha-

sized by the snapping in the stove,

and if Miss Barrington had spoken

with an object she should have been

contended. The girl was imperious in

her anger, which was caused by some-

thing deeper than startled prudery.



“It is,” said the little white-haired

lady, “all quite true. Still, I must

confess that my brother and myself

were a trifle astonished at the report

of the lawyer he sent to confer with

Lance in Montana. One would almost

have imagined that he had of late

been trying to make amends.”



The girl’s face was very scornful.

“Could a man with a past like that

ever live it down?”



“We have a warrant for believing

it,” said Miss Barrington quietly, as

she laid her hand on her companion’s

arm. “My dear, I have told you what

Lance was, because I felt it was right

that you should know; but none of us

can tell what he may be, and if the





‘man is honestly trying to lead a dif-

ferent life, all I ask is that you should





not wound him by any manifest sus-

picion. Those who have never been

tempted can afford to be merciful.”

Maud Barrington laughed somewhat

Most farmers look upon paint as a

In buying paint, it’s well to consider that

the real cost is not simply cost per gallon. It's

this cost divided by the number of years the

paint lasts. Paint costing a little less may

prove very expensive if it doesn’t withstand

the weather. That’s why so many people are

turning from cheap paints and hand-mixed

THE MIOHIGvAN FARMER





In the Last Five





Minutes of Play





By MANTHIE HOWE





 





RY out for the foot- ball team this

T afternoon at fou-r thirty ” The



news was passed from mouth to

mouth on the play ground at noon. '



Who would make the team? Who

would get in at quarter? The Baxter

High .School had good material'this

year—everybody said so. Wouldn’t

hey wallop their old enemy, Ipswich!

The talk drifted back and forth, and

Dan McEevers, sophomore, listened

eagerly. If there was one thing in all

the world that Dan wanted it was to

be one of the foot-ball eleven.



“Coming out tonight, Dan?” said big

Bob Danforth, a husky senior.



“What’s the use,” muttered Dan dis-

consolately. “You know I’m about fif-

teen pounds too light. The quarter is

the only position I could play and I

haven’t a chance with Loftis.”



“That’s all right, old man,” encour-

aged Bob. “You never can tell what

will turn up. You better come out for

the try-out.”



“I’ll think about it,” promised Dan.



And he did. With the result that be

dug out his old eighth grade suit. But

he had half a mind to throw it back

in the trunk when he found he hadn’t

put on more than seven pounds at the

most since he had worn the suit two

years before.



“A fine chance I have to make the

team,” he thought, as he trotted down

to the practice field.



The coach gave Dan a keen look.



“Get in with the big fellows,” he

ordered.



And Dan thought that by some mir.

acle his dream was to be fulfilled.





field, getting poked and jolted by his

heavier team mates without a word of

protest. At the end of the practice

the coach laid a hand on his shoulder.



“It’s too bad, boy,” he said kindly,

“you have the courage but you haven’t

the weight. Loftis is about ten pounds





 





heavier than you, and I guess we’ll

have to give him the place at quarter

back. You play quarter on the sec-

ond team and we’ll take you on as

sub ”



It was not like making the team to

go as sub, with probably never a

chance to play all season, but it was

better than nothing, and Dan swallow-

ed his pride and disappointment and

made up his mind to pitch in and

make a showing 011 the second team.



All through the golden days of Oc-

toter he trained manfully. No coffee,

no candy, bed at nine o’clock and reg-

ular gym work every day. Without a

word .of protest he went through the

grind and reported for the daily prac:

tice. With a grin on his thin dark

face he stood up and let the big team

drub him unmercifully in the scrim-





mages. And day by day he gained a

little flesh and'better control of his

wind.





Then the great day drew near.



Bob Danforth met him on the way

to school Monday morning and told

him the news as they walked to-

gether.



“It’s come, Dan,” he cried enthusi-

astically. “We’re to get a chance at

Ipswich next Saturday.”



“Honest Injun,” replied Dan excit-

edly. “I’d give anything to be in that

game.”



“Wish you could Dan,” said Dan-

forth. “I surely wish you could, for

I’m mighty afraid Loftis isn’t going

to play up very well. He hasn’t train-

ed very much and well, I guess he

isn’t as interested as he might be.”



Dan knew what the big half-back

meant. The team was afraid that

Loftis was “yellow.” The worst thing

that can be thought of a foot-ball

player.



Monday’s and Tuesday’s practices

dragged by and each day found it

harder for Dan to keep on with the

hard inglorious grind of practice on

the second team.





 





 





Manfully he trotted. up and down the‘





The one word of ,





encouragement came when the coach

stopped him after practice Wednesday

afternoon.



.“Good work, McEevers,” he said,

“had my eye on you this afternoon

and you are beginning to show up in

fine form. Come down to signal prac-

tice of the first team tomorrow. The

season has just begun you know.”



Come .to signal practice! Would

he? Well—would he? Dan grinned

to himself as he whistled and rubbed

his lame thighs. Didn’t he know ev-

ery signal as well as he.knew his own

name!



Friday night he went to bed half an

hour earlier, and it was a lucky thing

he did, for it took him half an hour

before he could get his mind off the

big game and go to sleep. Oh, for a

chance to’play against Ipswich!



Saturday dawned crisp and bright,

an ideal foot-ball day. All morning

enthusiastic high school students went

down the main streets, selling tickets

and assuring the citizens of Baxter

that their team could beat Ipswich.

All they wanted was a chance.



At two-thirty every seat in the

grandstand was taken and the crowds

swarmed down along the ropes of the

foot-ball field. A wild hurrah went up

as the Baxter boys began to pull off

their sweaters. Dan sat on the sub

bench; his jaws grim and eyes bdrn-

ing excitedly.



“Give the boys nine rahs,”

the yell master.



And rah! rah! rah!

with a right good will.



“Now a yell for Ipswich.”



“Rah! rah! Ipswich! Ipswich,” came

the sportsmanlike cheer of the Baxter

rooters, as the rival team trotted out

on the field.



Then a breathless silence settled

over the crowd as the captains tossed

for goals.



“Baxter are you ready?

queried the referee.



“All ready,” came the answer from

the opposing captains.



The whistle sounded 'and the big

game was on.



Up and down and back and forth

they surged, but gradually the Baxter

boys were advancing towards their

goal. Dan paced up and down the

side lines with the coach, praying,

muttering, begging the boys to pull

together and make a touch-down.



“Touchdown! We want a touch-

down!” screamed the loyal rootersr



“Come on boys! Only five more

minutes to play.”



“Give us a touch-down!” the crowd

begged and implored.



Dan ‘found that his throat was get-

ting dry and hoarse from yelling. He

seized a megaphone and running out

to the ropes called: “Come on Bob,

shove them across for a touch-down.”



His ears caught the signal 76-42-3—7.

They were going to put Loftis through

the line.



The big center snapped the ball

clean and straight and—Loftis fum-

bled! Ipswich’s wiry little right end

grabbed it and was off down the field.

Big Bob Danforth tackled him and

brought him to earth just as the

whistle blew.



And the end of the first half was

over. The score stood 0 to 0.



In the dressing-room the coach flay-

ed the players with his reproaches.

“It was inexcusable,” he said. ' “You

had the touch-down within your grasp

and you let it get by.”



“Loftis get out of the game.

for McEevers.”



A great light leaped to Bob Dan-

forth’s eyes.



With trembling fingers Dan stripped

off the old red sweater and trotted

into place.



“Get into the game,” yelled the dis-

appointed high school students. “Get

into the game you fellows."



Again the referee’s whistle sound-





ordered

ed. Ipswich opened the second half

with a‘fine ‘clean kick that won ap-





plause from the rival rooters. Again

Bob Danforth tackled the Ipswich

player and prevented a score. Yard





by yard they forced the rival team

doWn the field. Now one, now the

other goal was in danger, but surely,

persistently, doggedly Dan McEevers

played the game with every ounce of

courage in his hardened wiry young

body.



Five minutes to play—came the

warning cry that told him they had

just three hundred seconds in which

to make good their beast that they

would defeat Ipswich if they just had

a chance.



Half way down the field Bob Dan-

forth touched Dan on the shoulder.

The plucky little quarter-back knew

what was coming, and his 'mind jump-

ed to help his body get around that

stone wall of the Ipswich line.



76-56-86-7. Biff, the ball struck

Dan’s waiting hands; a smooth pass

to Bob, a lightning change back to

Dan, and he was around Ipswich’s end

and down the field. '



“Good old Dan, good boy.

go-o-oo it Dan!”



Before him, it seemed a mile away,

rose the slender sticks of the goal

posts. His heart beat fast and his

breath whistled through his nostrils.

Behind him as he stole a quick glance

over his shoulder, he saw a lanky Ips~

wich in blue striding after him. He

could hear the runner’s labored

breathing. But now his weeks of pa~

tient and dogged training were com-

ing into play. Calling upon his will

he made one final gallant effort. The

Ipswich man was at his heels but——

the goal posts were in hands’ reach.

A final wild plunge and he was across

the line. And the crowd was going

mad. -



“A touch-down! a touch-down!”



The ball was carried back and a.

goal kick was made in safety but no—

body knew or cared very much.



“Nine rahs for McEevers!” yelled

a dozen amateur yell masters.



“Rah! rah! rah!” came the cheer

with a gusto that could not be mis-

taken.



“Up with McEevers and Danforth.”

came the command.



And before they could protest, Bob

and Dan, sweaty, dirty and weary,

were lifted to the shoulders of the de-

lighted mob and borne back to town.



And even now, eight years after-

wards, the boys of Baxter tell about

McEevers’ touch-down. And Dan was

happy.





Go it!





WINSTON OF THE PRAIRIE.





 





(Continued from page 306).

curiously. “You are a very wise

woman, aunt, but you are a little

transparent now and then,” she said.

“At least he shall have a fair trial

without prejudice or favor—and if he

fails, as fail he will, we shall find

the means of punishing him."



“We?” said the elder lady mali-

ciously.



The girl nodded as she moved to-

wards the doorway, and then turned a

moment with the folds of the big red

curtain flung behind her. It forced up

the sweeping lines of a figure so deli-

cately molded that its slenderness was

scarcely apparent, for Maud Barring-

ton still wore a long somber dress

that had assisted in her triumphs in

the city. It emphasized the clear pal-

lor of her skin and the brightness of

her eyes, as she held herself very

erect in a pose which, while assumed

in mockery, had yet in it something

that was almost imperial.



“Yes,” she said. “We. You know

who is the power behind the throne at

Silverdale, and What the boys call me.

And now, good-night. Sleep well,

dear.”



She went out, and Miss Barrington

sat very still, gazing with eyes that

were curiously thoughtful, into the

fire. “Princess of the Prairie—and it

fits her well,” she said, and then sigh-
be! -~-’.-:m,-::m 1





ed a little. “And if there is a trace of





' hardness in the girl it may be fortu-





nate. We all haVe our troubles—and

wheat is going down.”



In the meanwhile, late as it was,

Colonel Barrington and his chief lieu-

tenant, Gordon Dane, sat in his log-

walled smoking-room talking with a

man he sold his wheat through in

Winnipeg. The room was big and

bare. There were a few fine heads of

antelope upon the walls, and beneath

them an armory of English-made shot-

guns and rifles, while a row of silver-

mounted riding crops, and some hand-

led with ivory, stood in a corner. All

these represented amusement, while

two or three treatises on veterinary

surgery and agriculture, lying amidst

English stud-books and racing rec-

ords, presumably stood for industry.

The comparison was significant and

Graham, the Winnipeg broker, noticed

it as he listened patiently to the views

of Colonel Barrington, who neverthe

less worked hard enough in his own

fashion. Unfortunately it was rather

the fashion of the English gentlemen

than that common on the prairie.



“And now,” he said with a trace of

anxiety he had concealed in his eyes,

“I am open to hear What you can do

for me.”



Graham smiled a little.

very much, colonel. I’ll take all your

wheat off you at three cents down.”



Now Barrington did not like the

broker’s smile. It savored too much

of equality, and, though he had al-

ready unbent as far as he was capable

of doing, he had no great esteem for

men of business. Nor did it please

him to be addressed as “Colonel?“



“That,” he said coldly, “is out of

the question. I would not sell at the

last market price. Besides, you have

hitherto acted as my broker.”



Graham nodded. “The market price

will be less than what I offered you in

a. week, and I could scarcely sell your

wheat at it today. I was going to hold

it. myself, because I can occasionally

get a little more from one or two mil-

lers Who like that special grade. Us-

ual sorts I am selling for a fall. Quite

sure the deal wouldn’t suit?"



Barrington lighted a fresh cigar, al-

though Graham noticed that he had

smoked very little of the one he flung

away. This was, of course, a trifle,

but it is the trifles that count in the

aggregate upon the prairie, as they

not infrequently do elsewhere.



“I fancy I told you so,” he said.



The broker glanced at Dane, who

was a big, bronzed man, and, since

Barrington could not see him, shook

his head deprecatingly.



“You can consider that decided, Gra-

ham,” he said. “Still, can you, as a

friendly deed give us any notion of

What to do? As you know, farming,

especially at Silverdale, costs money,

and the banks are demanding an in-

iquitous interest just now, while we

are carryng over a good deal of

wheat.”



Graham nodded. He understood why

farming was unusually expensive at

Silver-dale, and was, in recollection of

past favors, inclined to be disinterest-

edly friendly.



“If I were you, I would sell right

along for forward delivery at.a few

cents under the market.”



“It is a trifle difficult to see, how

that would help us,” said Barrington,

with a little gesture of irritation, for

it almost seemed that the broker was

deriding him.



“No,” said the man from Winnipeg,

“on the contrary, it’s quite easy”. Now

I can predict that wheat will touch

lower prices still before you have to

make a delivery, and it isn’t very dif-

ficult to figure out the profit on sell-

ing a thing for a dollar and then buy-

ing it, When you have to produce it,

at 90 cents. Of course, there is a risk





of the market going against you, but

you could buy at the first rise, and

you ’ve your stock to dole out in case

anybody cornered you.

CHOOL bells began ringing a few

weeks ago, and mothers the

country over, some with a tear



at seeing the baby start off alone for

the first time, and many more with a.

sigh of relief, started thousands of

children to school. There was much

brushing of hair and scrubbing of

hands and filling of dinner pails, and

exhortings “to be good and mind the

teacher.” And fond mothers gazed

proudly after retreating forms until

thoughts of waiting dishes drew them

away from the door.



Every outward duty to the small

ones was fulfilled. But just what per-

centage of us, the million or more

mothers in the United States, stopped

to think if our schools were giving

our boys and girls the right sort of

preparation for life? Most of us ac-

cept the curriculum as the school

board hands it out to us, sometimes

wondering dazedly why they crowd in

so many more subjects than they did

when we were starting. A very few

of us think it might be improved, but

who of us has thought seriously that

our school courses really do next to

nothing to prepare the children for

the real business of life, living?



When all has been said, what did

you get in school beyond the ability

to read, write and “figure,” that really

has helped much? You studied some

physiology, and if you have applied

your knowledge you may have been

benefited by it. But with the power

to read you could have learned out-

side of school all that you learned in,

about your body and its care. Who

of you could bound all the states, or

diagram a sentence or name all the

battles in the French and Indian war?

And if you could, how would it help

you any except in the sense of per-

sonal satisfaction? Yet you could do

all those things once, you had to do

them before you got your diploma.

And as soon as you got your diploma.

you speedily forgot all you had learn-

ed and went about the serious busi-

ness of learning how to farm or run

an engine or keep house. The things

yOu really needed to know in order

to make your living were put off until

you had jammed your mind with a lot

of stuff you promptly forgot, in your

keener interest in something vital.



And your children are doing the

same thing. Perhaps in your school

they teach sewing and cooking, each

one hour a week, and the boys have

manual training for a similar time.

How much sewing can your daughter

learn in one hour out of 168? Very

little more than you have taught her

at home, if you have been a careful

mother. How much carpentry can

your boy learn in that one hour a

week? How much does either one of

them learn of the business of earning

a living and making a home, which in

spite of theories, is the supreme end

of existence for the human family up

to date?



When your daughter leaves school

does she have any conception of her

real mission in life, the mission of be-

ing a home-maker, entrusted with the

health of husband and children? Does

she have even a glimmering of an

idea that, upon her ability as a cook,

will depend, in, large measure, her





husband’s success in his business, her

children’s success in life, in work, in

play, yes, even their very lives? Does

she know the health is dependent up-

on sane rules of living, that plain,

wholesome.





well-cooked foods, pure

Coulis; Tm»???





 





‘Wh‘aflt Is Your School Teaching?





water and pure air mean more to her

than money and ease? Does she know

that happiness depends upon health,

and health upon food rather than med-

icine?



Your son, if he is an up-to-date farm

lad, knows that good stock can be

produced only by scientific feeding.

Does your daughter know that the

same rule applies to sturdy children?

Probably she can make fudge and sea

foam and Lady Baltimore cake. But

does she know that those things are

trimmings, to be indulged in only at

rare intervals, while the human ani-

mal’s daily rations should consist of

milk, meat, eggs, good bread and but-

ter, vegetables and fruits in properly

balanced quantities? Food to be chew-

ed thoroughly and not washed down

with coffee, tea or water? Does she

know that cooking is an exact science,

and that if she follows clearly defined

rules she can be as sure of success in

that art as in extracting square root?



Is she being taught anything about

the sacredness of motherhood? Or is

she hearing of it as a disagreeable

duty to be shunned if possible? Is

she being taught that life consists not

in the abundance of possessions, but

in friendship and service? Is she be-

ing given intelligent instruction about

the sort of love on which homes are

built, or is love to her the hysteria.

described in trashy novels.



These are the things your daughter

should know when she steps out of

school with her diploma, for they are

the only things she will need. The

smattering of drawing and music and

French and German and higher math-

ematics will have no place in her life

after she leaves the schoolroom.

Doesn’t it seem foolish to waste so

many precious hours over them and

leave untouched so much that is real—

ly vital? DEBORAH.





LETTER BOX.





 





Don’t Let Twelve-year-old Girls Sew.

Dear Deborahz—Like Mrs. F. L. 8.,

your articles generally “hit the spot.”

But when you talk of teaching a ten-

or twelve-year-old girl to do all her

own sewing. I felt that I must drop

my own work and enter a protest.



Now, don’t think for a minute that

my girl of twelve was not a help to

me. I had poor health at the time

and she took almost entire care of a

big healthy baby a year old. But she

wasn’t allowed to lift him around un-

til she was round shouldered, or to

carry him on one hip until one hip

was lower than the other, as I have

seen done. But she either played on

the floor with him or wheeled him

about in his cab. At that age she and

her brother often did the family wash-

ing with the aid of a good machine

and my overlooking. She did not sew

on the machine until she was seven-

teen, and today is a strong healthy

girl of twenty.



In the first place, to do the sewing

by hand would be too tedious for a.

ten-year-old girl. And in the second

place, I don’t think a girl ought to run

the sewing machine until she is at

least sixteen. I will cite my own case

but can look around among my school-

mates and see a number of duplicates.

At the age of eleven I ran the sewing

machine all day, and would be tired

out at night. From that time on I

sewed on the machine, and at four-

teen made my own clothing.



At thirteen I had a very severe

time with my right side. I was gener-.

ally obliged to spend two days every

month in bed. And I have always had

to doctor since being a. married wom-

an. -As a child I grew fast and ap-

peared strong, and the remark was





often made, “She’s large and strong,





she can stand it.” But they would

say of my cousin, who was small for

her age, “We must be careful of her.”

My cousin did not sew on the ma-

chine until she was sixteen, never did

any washing to speak of, until that

age, and she is a much stronger and

healthier woman than I, and I am

three years the younger.



From my observations this is gener-

ally the case. A farmer is nearly al-

ways very careful not to put a colt

at too hard work, and certainly a

young, growing girl is as worthy of

care, so she may be a strong, healthy

woman. _



I believe in letting “father help”

when a. woman or the baby is not

well. My husband has helped many a.

time. I also believe in folding and

putting away all dish towels, wash

rags, knit underclothes, napkins and

dish aprons as soon as perfectly dry.

Once during a four weeks’ siege of

strawberries we only had one cake in

the house. But we had strawberries

and cream for breakfast and short-

cake for dinner and supper. As we

had never had a plenty of strawber-

ries before it seemed Wicked to let

them spoil, and I couldn’t bake cake

and care for the strawberries, also.



The only other time I ever differed

with Deborah was in her article on

wash women. I did so want to tell

her that if the wash women were paid

more perhaps they would take pride

in clean clothes. It was my experi-

ence in doing washing that one only

got about enough to pay for the wood

used, not saying anything about labor.

Hoping I’ll not find the waste basket,

I am, respectfully, Mrs. F. L.





QUINCE RECIPES.





 





BY DIR. L. K. HIRSHBERG.



"Eat quinces and die” is a Swedish

proverb, 'which proves the delectabil-

ity of this dainty. It is indeed a fine

winter delicacy. When they are care-

fully cooked no fruit can surpass them

in delicacy of flavor. Baked quinces

can be prepared in two ways. They

can be slowly baked until they are

tender, in a covered dish in the oven,

or they can be boiled until they are

partly done and then baked. To bake

them in'the first way, wash and core

them, and fill the core cavities with

granulated sugar. Arrange them in a.

buttered baking dish and pour water

around them. Cover them closely and

let them cook slowly for about an

hour.



When they are almost done remove

the cover and cook a little more rap-

idly. Then remove the quinces and

reduce the syrup in which they were

cooked, by boiling it rapidly for a few

moments, pour it over them and chill

them. Serve with a tablespoonful of

whipped cream on the top of each.



To cook them in the second way,

peel them and parboil. Put them in

a baking dish and pour the water in

which they were cooked, made into

syrup with the addition of sugar,

around them. Bake them, covered

for an hour, or until they are tender,

remove them, reduce the syrup and

pour it over them, and serve cold.



An easily made quince pudding is

this, and it is the sort ofp‘udding to

serve on one of the first chill autumn

days. Choose' half a. dozen fine large

quinces, and boil them until they are

soft. Then peel, core and mash them

and add the yolk'ofjfour eggs, beaten

with a‘ pint. of cream. Sweeten to

taste and season With ground ginger

and cinnamon. Bake in a moderate

oven for three-quarters of an hour and

serve with cold custard sauce.



There are several ways of making

quince tarts. One way is to combine

the quinces with apples in this man-

ner. Peel and core two pounds of

well-flavored apples and cut them in

thin slices. Arrange them neatly in a

deep pie dish. Add a pound of quinces

that have been sliced thin and stewed

over the fire in a very little water,

some sugar, and a bit of butter. Add

a generous quarter of a cupful of

sugar to the fruit, a little grated lem-

on rind, and the water in which the

quinces were stewed. Cover it with

a sheet of rich paste, brush it with

egg white and bake for 40 minutes.

Sift powdered sugar over the top and

return to the oven to brown.



Another quince tart recipe calls for

stewed quinces, placed in a cooked

tart shell and eaten cold with whip-

ped cream, slightly sweetened over it.



A third tart is made in this way:

Peel and core half a dozen medium-

sized quinces and cook them until

they are soft, in water enough to cov-

er them. Drain them and put them

through a sieve. Add a cupful of su-

gar and the yolks of four eggs well

beaten, with two cupfuls of milk. Line

a deep pie dish with crust and fill it

with the quince mixture. Bake it for

three-quarters of an hour in a moder-

‘ate oven and cover it with meringue.

Brown it and serve cold.



Quince omelet is made with jelly.

Make an omelet of eight eggs, beaten

with a. tablespoonful of sugar, 3. Wine

glassful of Wine, and three table-

spoonfuls of milk. Cook it until it is

set, and then spread it with quince

jelly and fold it.



To make quince puff, peel, core and

slice half a dozen apples and a quince.

Add half a cupful of water. Cover





them and cook them slowly for half

an hour, then rub them through a





sieve. Cook this pulp with three eggs,

beaten with half a cupful of sugar.

Cool it and fold in the beaten whites

of the three eggs. Chill, and serve it.



To make quince jelly, wash, core,

quarter, and chop the quinces and

cover them with water. Then simmer

them until they are soft. Put them in

a jelly bag and let them drip. Meas-

ure the juice and allow an equal quan-

tity of granulated sugar. Put the sug-

ar in the oven to warm and boil the

juice for 20 minutes. Add the sugar

and bring to the boiling point, then

pour into scalded jelly tumblers.



To make quince chips, pare, quarter,

core, and slice the quinces. Weigh

them and allow a pound of sugar for

every pound of fruit. Cover the fruit

with water in a porcelain kettle and

boil for.ten minutes. Drain it and

put it in a porcelain kettle with the

sugar. Add half a cupful of water.

Melt and dissolve the sugar slowly

and cook it till the fruit is red and

transparent. Lift the pieces of quince

out of the liquid carefully with a

skimmer and dry them on a sieve.

Roll them in sugar and use them as

sweetmeats. '

Household Editor :—¥Will you please

tell me how good fermented Wine is

made from tame grapes ?—-H. J.





The following recipe is from “Prac-

tical Cooking and Serving:” “Wash

and stem the grapes and squeeze

through a coarse cloth. Allow one

quart of soft water to each- three

quarts of juice, and three pounds of

brown sugar to four quarts of juice.

Let stand six weeks in an open ves-

sel covered with a light cloth to ex-

clude dust, and then bottle.”





Household Editor:—~—I have seen

some of the recipes for pickling cu-

cumbers, for home use I suppose. I

would like to know how to preserve

them in a commercial way, especially

dill pickles—Reader.





The following recipe for making dill

pickles for commercial use is from

“A Complete Course in Canning,”

made up of articles previously pub-

lished in “The Trade.” .As it con-

tains alum, I would suggest that you

write the Department of Agriculture

for its bulletin on commercial can-

ning. Most of the bulletins are free,

though occasionally one costs five or

ten cents.



“Have well-coopered barrels; take

out head and in the bottom place a

handful of dill with a clever springling

of mixed spices; fill barrel with cu-

cumbers, finishing the top with dill

and spices. Head up the barrel and

fill through the hung with 50-degree

brine to each 45 gallons of which has

been added two pounds of alum and

two gallons of 45-grain vinegar. Bung

up barrel; bore a hole through the

hung in which place a nipple connect-

ed with a half-inch rubber tube, the

end of this dropping in a bottle filled

Selling What You Raise.





ONSUMERS of farm produce are

( : creatures of impulse. Moreover,

they are something like the



small boy who plays at certain games

at certain seasons. It is quite impos-

sible to say why, but it is a fact, nev-

ertheless, which must be recognized

by the farmer if he hopes to dispose

of his products at the highest prices.

This does not hold good in the case

of staple articles, like potatoes, ex-

cepting the earlier varieties, but it

does hold good with garden products,

berries and some sorts of fruits. One





‘woman refused to buy peaches be-





cause the season for the best early

ones had passed and the late ones

were not yet up to the standard of

ripeness she required. Such little

things have a far-reaching effect upon

the business of any farmer who de-

pends upon the sale of these products

for a portion of his income.



Make it a Rule to be on Time.



Get your goods in at the proper

time for your locality. If you are 10-





 





cated near a city and go in yourself,

study the peculiarities of your market

and endeavor to meet those whims to

satisfy prospective customers. It is

the one way to help sell what you

raise. Without a knowledge of this

character the grower works to great

disadvantage.



If you cherish the impression that

consumers in cities will buy anything

offered them in the shape of farm pro-

duce, get the idea out of your minds

at once. They will not do it. The de-

sirable trade is critical and after you

have run the gamut of the different

grades of buyers you will find at the

end that the cheapest of them all is

perhaps the worst to deal with. They





 





 





will not pay as much as your product

is really worth because they know

that you would not offer it to them if

you could sell it anywhere else. The

time has passed when the whims and

fancies of buyers can be ignored.

Second in Importance to Production.

,‘ It is well that agricultural colleges

Eare introducing instruction in selling

5into their courses. They ought to em-

phasize it as second in importance to

farm operations. The first step, of

course, is to grow the best possible

product for sale, but like unto it is the

second, to learn to sell them for the

highest price.



A well-known firm that makes a cer-

tain article to be sold to householders

does not leave the solicitors who

are to sell them in ignorance of the

best methods of handling customers

and disposing of goods, they maintain

expensive schools where these sales-

men are taught free of cost the scien-

tific methods ‘of selling. Nothing is

left undone which will increase their

ability for service. Then after they

are done with the school they are per-

sistently followed up with written or

printed instructions and are given the

latest development of the selling de-

partment through the mail or by dem-

onstration as often as anything worth

while is developed. The object of

this is obvious. But who does this for

the farmer? Who teaches him the

necessity for understanding the prin‘

ciples of salesmanship? Who tells

him how to prepare his products for

market in the best way? Who shows

him how he can sell them the best?



Until recently the only instruction

farmers had was through the agricul-

tural papers, and they have done yeo-

man’s work in this direction. Some,

of course, are natural salesmen and

require very little instruction. Others

are not salesmen and require much.

most successful farmers in his com-

munity so far as the development of

his farm and the production of crops

was concerned, was woefully deficient

in selling ability and had he not been

fortunately situated much of his work

would have gone for nothing because

of this fact.

Know Your Market.





The first essential is to know the

market where one purposes selling his

goods. If he understands what will

he wanted at a certain time he will

be able to supply the want. If he ig-

nores this knowledge he will grope in

the dark and fail to secure as much

return as he might. This is obvious

upon reflection, but it is true that

comparatively few in times past have

reflected upon this phase of their

problem. A week spent in the mar-

ket would not be too much. It is well

to know thoroughly the peculiarities

of each separate city and locality

where one may expect to sell goods.





OCT. 10, 1914-.





1y. Now a dozen varieties sell and

most markets cannot obtain too many

of them. Salad plants do not bring

high prices, but they do not 'cost

much to raise, are easily picked and

packed and are always salable. It is

well to know whether or not your mar-

ket favors them, and if it favors one

variety over another. Then you can

cater to its peculiar tastes and achieve

a success in selling where otherwise

you would fail.



One might, perhaps, cite many more

instances of this character, but detail-v

ed infirmation is not intended. It is

merely to lay down the broad princi-

ple that the farmer, to be successful,

must sell his goods. That is the thing

which will be paramount after the

crop has been raised. Until he does

sell them they are useless and he has

grown them at a loss. But under-

standing his market and relying upon

his knowledge of salesmanship to as-

sist him he can easily turn his goods

into money and insure a profit worth

while as the result of his labors.



Aver'age Farmer a Poor Salesman.



Being raised on a farm where he

could observe how selling should not

be done, and having spent 15 years

in the markets of one of the great cit-

ies of the country the writer knows

something of this subject from both

ends. It is his unhesitating declara-

tion, after studying both sides of the





l





 





 





 





 





 





To Hold a High-class Trade the Farmer Must, After Growing Products of

Merit, Grade and Pack them in a Manner Approved by Customers.





If, therefore, a farmer would obtain

the highest price for his products he

must, so far as possible, know his

markets. If he would offer in any

particular market those articles, or

products, which he hopes to dispose

of at a profitable figure he must know

the market.



For example, here is a city with a

large Italian population and there on-

ions, leeks, and similar vegetables

are always good sellers. Italians con-

sume a great many such vegetables

and will always take them. If they

come very early in the spring so much

the better. They will bring a higher

price. On the other hand, it would be

quite useless to undertake to sell

them extensively in localities where

Americans predominated. They might

take onions in considerable quantities

but they do not care for leeks.



A Place for Every Product.



Certain vegetables, like potatoes,

etc., will be bought freely by every-

one. But where the Irish dwell in

largest numbers is the best place for

cabbage, and the same observation

holds good with reference to Germans

and Hollanders, though they do not

always use it in the same way. The

conditions which govern are substan-

tially the same, however, and the

farmer who hopes to make the most

of his sales will take pains to investi-

gate the peculiarities of the market

he is to supply.



A few years ago lettuce was. the

only salad plant that Was bought free-





question that the average farmer is

still deficient in his salesmanship and

that he must do much more investi-

gation and studying in this direction

before he can hope to accomplish the

purpose in raising produce, to sell it

for a reasonably high price.



It may be unfair to place all farm-

ers in the same class, but it must be

confessed that after seeing hundreds

of thousands of packages come into

market from every part of the coun-

try in a very unmarketable condition,

one cannot say much else. During

the past two or three years, since

farmers have been shipping through

co-opertive associations this condi-

tion has begun to change, but the im-

provement is slow and it will require

many years more of educative work

before the desired result will be ac-

complished. But farmers’ organiza-

tions of various kinds are doing good

work for which they deserve to be

commended. Farmers themselves are

coming to appreciate more and more

the great importance of the selling

end and they are undertaking changes

of their own volition which are mak-

ing the future far more hopeful.

GRAINS AN D ' SEEDS.’





October 6, 1914.



Wheat—Although quotations rule

lower than the previous week, a firm-

er _feeling prevailed Monday with a re-

action in prices. Although the ques-

tion as to the continued neutrality of

Turkey and Italy in the present Eu-

ropean trouble had a bullish influence

the chief help came from Australia

where a crop shortage is reported. A

drouth will reduce the surplus wheat

from the island continent several mil-

lions of bushels. Estimates also show

a shortage of 365,000,000 bushels in

this year’s wheat crop for the north-

ern hemisphere outside of North Am-

erica, and Canada will have a crop of

73,000,000 bushels. below a normal

yield. From this it would seem that

the statistical position of the wheat

market is favorable ,to the present

range of prices. One year ago No.

red wheat was selling at 94c per bu.

Quotations are as follows:

Probably the cattle market was sav-

ed today from a further break in pric-

es by the moderate offerings, which

included 5,000 Western rangers, for

trade requirements were not large af-

ter last week’s generous supplies. (‘th-

er markets got large receipts, Kansas

City receiving 31,000 head. In the

Chicago market demand ran mainly

on fat natives and good rangers, and

native grassers sold slowly. Hogs de-

clined about a dime, selling at $7.50@

8.80. Hogs marketed last week aver-

aged 235 lbs., comparing with 239 lbs.

3. week earlier and 248 lbs. a-month

ago. The big run of sheep and lambs

was largely made up of flocks from

the ranges, and they were largely

feeders. Demand for fat lambs and

sheep was very good at about steady

prices, and feeders sold briskly at

steady to a little lower prices, while

mutton lambs that were off in quality.

were apt to show weakness.



Cattle had to be extremely good in

quality to sell well last week, for





.214 lbs.

the offerings declined 25-@35c, with a





fall of,15@v25cin females. A good





share of the steers crossed the scales:





at $8.50@1’0.50, but sales at high val-





ues were largely made on Monday,~





when quite .a number of sales occur-





red at $10.60@11, with top at $11.05.‘





Steers selling at $10.50 and upward

were prime, but numerous steers that

passed for good sold at $9.75 or there-

abouts, while coarse heavy, steers

went around $9. The poorer light-

weight grassy steers brought $6.35@





7.75, and medium grade cattle sold at‘





$8.75@9.70, while yearlings brought





$9.50@11 when desirable, with sales





all the way down to $7.75v@8 for ordi-

nary lots. Chicago and other western

markets have been getting large sup-

plies of grass cattle, both natives and

rangers, and until these runs are over

depressed markets may be expected.

Butchering cows and heifers have

been selling at $5@9.40 for ordinary

to prime kinds, with cutters selling at

$4.50@4.95, canners at $3.40@4.45 and

bulls at $4.50@8. Stockers and feed-

ers have weakened, and the bulk sold

irregularly lower, the tight money

market preventing quite a number of

intending buyers from purchasing.

Stockers sold at $5@7.75, feeders at

$6@8.40, stock and feeding cows and

heifers at $5@7 and stock steer calves

at $6.50@8.25. Calves were lower

than a short time ago, with a slower

trade, sales ranging at $4.50@9 for

the common to choice heavy weights

and at $10@11.25 for light vealers.

Milkers and springers had a moderate

sale at $60@95 per head, the call be-

ing mostly for good cows.





Hogs have undergone extremely

large declines in prices recently, with

late sales at the lowest values record-

ed since last July, despite moderate

offerings most of the time and greatly

lessened numbers slaughtered by

western packing this season than a

year ago. Furthermore, the accumu-

lations of provisions stored in Chicago

warehouses have been decreasing, the

monthly official statement showing

stocks held on October 1 to aggregate

77,484,302 lbs., comparing with 86,-

254,652 lbs. a month earlier and 88,-

825,291 lbs. a year ago. Current hog

receipts are embracing a large per-

centage of heavy old sows, these go-

ing at bottom prices, and the range of

quotations is extremely wide, with the

small offerings of prime light barrows

going highest of all. The latter are

wanted by eastern shippers, who also

buy moderate numbers of good hogs

of heavier size, but the eastern ship-

ping movement has been rather limit-

ed for some time past. In recent

weeks the Chicago receipts of hogs

have averaged from 239 to 247 lbs.,

whereas a year ago they averaged but

he average was 233 lbs.

two years ago, 219 lbs. three years

ago and 260 lbs. four years ago. Pack-

ers are bearish on hogs and it is an

interesting question whether country

owners will ship their hogs or hold

for better prices, particularly as the

country’s supply is short. The pack-

ers are banking on the good pig crop

and absence of sickness. After the

best hogs had dropped to $8.80 the

market rallied and closed Saturday at

$7.65@9 for coarse heavy packers to

prime light shippers, with pigs at $5

@860. » Western packing since March

1 has aggregated 12,422.000 hogs, or

1,922,000 less than a year ago.



Sheep and lambs have had declines

and advances recently, the changes In

quotations depending on the volume

of the receipts. .As the season ad-

vances liberal supplies from the rang-

es swell the receipts a good deal, par-

ticularly on Monday, and on that day

last week sheep and lamb receipts ag-

gregated 54,853 head, causing a quick

decline in vaIIIes.‘ As receipts con-

sist largely of lambs, they usually

show much greater quotable changes

than sheep. Feeding lambs are all

the time in active demand and sell

relatively higher than matured fat

flocks, with too few to go around.

Lambs have sold higher than a year

ago and sheep much higher. At the

Young ”Pullers.





 





HE scarcity of fresh-laid eggs on

T and early winter months is usu-

__ most farms during the late fall

ally the result of improper methods of

feeding and developing the young pul-

lets. The fact that a few of the most

vigorous pullets begin to lay indicates

that many more of them ‘might be

laying if the right methods of feeding

and developing them were adopted. It

is true that late hatches are the rule,

rather than the exception on the av-

erage farm, but it is equally true that

neglect, indifference and poor feeding

are another prominent cause.



On the average farm little interest

is taken in the spring chickens after

they have made a fair start in life;

the other farm work demands so much

attention that the chickens are left to

rustle for themselves. Young chicks

grow very rapidly, the coops soon get

overcrowded and filthy and they are

fed scantily and irregularly.



On many farms the chickens and

old hens are shut up in a foul smell-

ing yard and at night they are com-

pelled to roost on a filthy floor, many

times under the hens, or in the nests.

Subjected to such treatment they fall

easy victims to disease and vermin

which they have contracted from the

older fowls. At best they are nothing

more than bundles of skin, bones and

feathers at the time when they should

begin to Show reddening combs and

be looking for a secluded place in

which to make a. nest.



Proper Care Pays.



If given proper care and liberal ra-

tions of bone and muscle building

foods the pullets will reach laying ma-

turity at from six to seven months

old, that is, if they are hatched early

enough so that they will reach such

development before cold weather sets

in. If they do not reach this matu-

rity before cold weather comes it is

almost impossible to induce them to

start laying before the approach of

spring. The ideal pullet for winter

laying is one that reaches the desired

maturity by the first week in Novem-

ber, and then by good care and food

is kept laying through the winter.



The pullets that show indications

of laying ability and early develop-

ment should be separated from the

cockerels and other members of the

flock and given a chance to grow and

develop. They should have the run of

a large yard, or better still, the range

of the whole farm, so that they may

gather insects and green food. Then

if they have an abundant supply of

pure water, grit and oyster shells,

and all of the whole and cracked

grains they will eat, they will make

the best gains they are capable of.



Simplifying the Care of the Hens.



The work of caring for the pullets

is greatly simplified by feeding a mix-

ture of dry grains, beef scraps and

other foods in self—feeders with par-

titions to separate the different foods

and materials. By filling the self-

feeders two or three times a week and

keeping an abundant supply of fresh

water at hand at all times, the labor

will be minimized. With large coops

that lift off from platforms it is an

easy matter to clean and disinfect the

coops and dispose of the droppings.

By moving the coops once a, week bet-

ter sanitary conditions will prevail

and the grass will not be killed out

by the presence of the coops and the

chicks. By making plans! to do the

daily poultry chores at a time when

we do the other chores the Work

does not seem a burden and the pul-

lets will be readyto lay eggs at the

time when they are bringing the high-

est market price. '





 





Liberal, but not extravagant, feed-





ing is the basis of success in develop-

ing pullets just the same as all other





animals, and the term “liberal feed-‘





ing” means a variety of the kinds of

feed needed to promote growth and

normal development. An ideal grain

mixture for feeding pullets that have

the run of the fields and orchards con-

sists of 200 pounds of cracked corn,

100 pounds of wheat and 50 pounds of

buckwheat. This, fed along with grit,

oyster shells and beef scraps will pro-

duce ideal results. Some prefer to

use a dry mash of bran, corn meal and

middlings in connection with the

whole and cracked grains, but if the

pullets have a good range such a mix-

ture is not needed.





When they Begin to Lay.



When the pullets begin to show in-

dications of approaching maturity by

the reddening of the comb and wattles

and by following the attendant about,

the addition of beef scraps and mid-

dlings will help start them to laying.

Once they begin to lay it is easy, by

good care and proper feeding, to keep

them laying throughout the late fall

and early winter. By providing ample

room and encouraging them to exer-

cise in a good dry scratching litter,

into which is thrown two feeds a day

of scratch food they will be busy and

contented. Straw, coarse hay and dry





 





leaves make ideal litter for the

scratching floors.

New York. W. MILTON KELLY.

BUMBLEFOOT.





 





Bumblefoot is not a. disease; it ‘is,

rather, the result of an injury to the

foot and if not given attention will

spoil the appearance, if not the use-

fulness of the bird. It is most com-





mon in the summer and fall months.





and appears mostly among the old fat

hens or male birds. One of the chief

causes is the high roosting pole, nec-

essitating a. heavy drop when flying

down. This bruises the foot and

causes it to swell. Another cause is

scratching in hard dry ground and

among cobblestones. When ground

is dry and hot, the fowls feet seem to

suffer and bumblefoot becomes more

frequent. For this reason it is a good

plan to have a" shady spot in the yard

which should be wet down frequently.

Birds allowed on the range, where

they can get into the grass while it is

still wet with dew, seldom have any

trouble with the feet. Moisture helps

any injury that may be incurred, to

heal quickly.



The cause of the trouble is a bruise

on the soft pad of the foot. This

bruise swells and fills with pus, which

in time becomes a hard lump, causing

permanent enlargement and disfigure-

ment of the foot. When a bird is

seen to go lame an examination

should be made. If the foot is hot

and shows signs of pus, lance it with

a sharp-pointed knife, which has first

been sterilized in boiling water. Then

squeeze out the pus and wash the foot

in a good disinfectant. Boracic acid

dissolved in water is excellent for

this purpose. After drying, wrap the

foot in a clean cloth and place the

fowl in a. clean coop, where there is

not much chance to move about, for a

day or two, until the foot heals.



N. H. C. H. C.‘





 





In the course of the season a lot-

of Barred Plymouth Rocks, having had

free range and access to green feed

all of the time, averaged a little over

one pound havier than a“ similar lot

kept confined. The‘mortality ,of the

two lots was eight and 24 per cent

respectively.

A CLUB TRAVELOGU E.





 





 





At the September meeting of the

Ingham County Farmers’ Club, Mr. E.

A. Densmore gave some comparisons

between Michigan and the west, and

told of some of the things that inter-

ested him in his recent trip. In the

south he noticed their plowing with

one mule or one ex and thought how

grateful a Michigan farmer ought to

be for his surroundings. Canal street

in New Orleans impressed him for its

width, as there were four street car

tracks. On account of water the cem-

etery was all above ground and was

supported by a rental value—if same

was not paid the bones were taken

away and someone else given the

place. Galveston was situated upon

an island and there was a mammoth

sea wall, 17 feet high, six feet on top

and 12 feet Wide at the base. He

found the Rio Grande river small and

shallow when he had expected to see

a large river. He Spoke of the rice

fields and cane fields in Louisiana and

Texas and described an orange grOve.

He thought an apple orchard with the

same care would be as profitable as

an orange grove. The orange tree

will bear some when five years old

but is not in full bearing till seven

or eight years old, they are picked

twiceayear, and told of his experience

in cultivating. Nothing is sent to the

market without a short stem, so there

are very many good oranges wasted,

and he did his part to save a. few.



Around National City there are

lemon ranches, and'a few years ago

when a hard frost came and destroy-

ed the crop, they were left with no

income, which never happens with di-

versified farming in Michigan.



He described an ostrich farm where

birds were worth $250 each. They

were plucked when nine months old

and every nine months. They have

been known to live 65 years and have

a stride of 22 feet, traveling 25 miles

an hour. He also spoke of raising al-

ligators and alfalfa, and described one

large tree that was 125 feet to the

first limb and would out 35,000 feet of

lumber, the first out making four

cords of four—foot wood. He visited

the United States mint at San Fran-

cisco but did not know as much about

it when he came out as when he went

in, so when he came back to Denver,

he visited another and asked ques-

tions. He described the ten thousand

dollar brick, how it was remodeled

into a longer and thinner piece, then

made into arslab, passed through a

punching machine, then an edging

machine, where 80 twenty dollar gold

pieces were edged in a minute and a

hundred stamped in the same time.

There are only two or three workers

in the same room and they have to

pass the civil service examination and

also give bonds.

(Continued from last week).

I heard the Glee Club sing, and





P- give the Swaney school yell, with the





same sort of enthusiasm as character-

izes any city school. The yell itself,

however, was very different. Patrons,

members of school boards, teachers

and pupils of these schools were pres-

ent at this meeting for rural progress,

and the noticeable thing about them

was their pride in their communities

and up-to-date school.



With all the apparent evidence of

latent interest in country schools, it

appears that the one thing needful to

make this interest effective is some-

one to take the lead. Who? Anybody

with zeal and determination enough

to overcome obstacles, and deep-seat-

ed prejudice if need be. How? By

beginning with the school just as it

is and making it continually a better

one-room school, just as one makes a

home, little by little, more conven-





ient, attractive and efficient.

ILLINOIS GRANGE NOTES.

Guilford Hope Grange had its roll

call responses at a recent meeting in

the shape of ideas for improving the

general conditions of the neighbor-

hood. This was followed by a talk on

how these improvements could be

brought to pass. The oldest member

of the Grange then spoke on “Recent

Improvements in the County,” which

will be a help to farmers.



Oak Grove Grange recently had

“The Practical Care' of Horses and

Cattle,” discussed by a veterinarian

of long experience.



Burritt Grange had quite a program

of music and recitations not long ago,

after which there was a talk on

“Some of the Laws in this State

which Impose Hardships on Farmers.”

This was followed by the question box,

of which this Grange always makes a

great feature.





 





AMONG THE LIVE GRANGES.





 





Montcalm County Pomona Grange

held interesting sessions at the How—

ard City Grange Hall at their last

meeting. About 65 members of the

order were present. Worthy Master

Ashley M. Berridge, of Greenville, one

of the leading scientific farmers of the

county, gave an excellent report of

the four- -county Grange picnic held

early in August at Lowell where ap-

proximately 4,000 membeis of the or-

der assembled to hear addresses by

national and state leade1s of this or-

ganization. A fine chicken dinner

was served at noon by the ladies of

Howard City Grange and at the after-

noon session they were highly compli-

mented by the visitors on the quality

of their entertainment. Howard City

people usually have a way of making

their guests feel at home. The pro-

gram consisted of very interesting

discussions on a variety of subjects

related to farm life, educationalmeth-

ods, poultry raising, etc Music, read-

ings and around- table symposiums

were also greatly enjoyed. Five mem-

bers of Howard City Grange received

the fifth degree.



Apple Day. —Many of the Granges

of Western Michigan have arranged

for an apple program for their second

meeting in October. This is for the

observance of apple day which this

year comes on Tuesday, October 20.

Each Grange having an apple pro-

gram will lay stress upon the import—

ance of this fruit and will try to create

a sentiment in favor of a greater use

of the apple as an article of food.



Premiums from the County Fair to

the amount of $35 were received by

Ironton Grange for exhibits made there.

At the October 6 meeting a debate by

two competent speakers on, Resolved,

“That agriculture is of more import-

ance to the fa1mer than horticulture,”

was most interesting.



A Public Meeting was held by the

Morenci Grange on October9 in the

I. O. O. F. Temple. Chas. M. Gardner,

of Massachusetts. a speaker of na-

tional repute and high priest of

Demeter, the highest office in the

National Grange, was chief speaker.

The reason for the low prices is be-

cause buyers are afraid of the new

storage law now before congress. This

law, if passed, which at present seems

quite likely, will be a great blow to

the onion] industry, according to the

sentiment of some of the onion buy-

ers. As the law would give power to

a commissioner to regulate the buy-

ing and selling prices of commodities

handled by all storage houses and

grain elevators, it is feared disastrous

results would follow as the commis-

sioner could dictate what prices on—

ion storage men should ay, and what

prices they should sell t for. Tak-

en altogether, the onion situation is

not favorable, although there are still





some who believe'the law will not be





passed. ~

Stop Wasting Grain! Stop Losing Stock! Get Bigger Profits!

I want to to you, A T MY RISK, that SAL-VET, my great worm de-'





stroyer and stock conditioner, will work a wonderful change on your stock—your

hogs, sheep, horses and cattle. I want to feed every animal on your farm for 60

days and let you see with your own eyes, what a moneymaker and a money saver SAL-VET is.





Here’s My open, Liberal alter





Go to your dealer (show him this advertisement if you wish) and get enough SALVET

to4ast your stock 60 days. Feed it according to directions, and if it does not rid them

of the disease-breeding, profit-eating, stomach and intestinal worms—if it does not make

them look better, gain faster on no more feed—if it does not stop your losses from these

worms, the SAL-VET you get won’t cost you a cent. Get it at your Dealer and save the freight.

Every SAL-VET dealer is authorized to refund every penny paid for it on my 60-day offer, if it does not do .

all I claim. If there IS no SAL-VET dealer in your town, fill out the coupon below-send no money;—I’ll fill your order direct.

Read What Feeders Say:





“SAL-VET has given entire sat-

isfaction. The pigs and cows to

which I fed it, were doing very

poorly, but in a month’s time they

all looked fine and sleek and have

been gaining right along. Pre-

viously, I had used four or five

different remedies as condition-

ers, but was never fully satisfied.

I can recommend SAL-VET to

anybody whose stock needs con—

gaiti%ning.”—Frank Klein, Monroe,



10 .





“Have thoroughly tested your

SAL-VET; I feed it to hogs and

colts, and never had better re-

sults in my life. Many hogs in

the neighborhood died of cholera.

I have had no trouble here.”—

John H. Leyendecker, Route No.

63, Byron Center, Mich.





“Last year we lost nearly 10

per cent of our lambs from

worms. This year we have been

feeding SAL-VET and have not

lost a single one.”



D. A. Wheeler,

Shabona, Mich.





“I had a bunch of registered

sheep that were dying. I com-

menced feeding SAL-VET to

them, since which time I have

lost only two. I also had about

two thousand head of western

sheep, to which the SAL-VET was

fed. They all came through in

good shape.”——VV. R. Hamlin, Hat-

tOn, Mich.



“My SAL-VET is all gone, and

as common salt does not begin to

take its place, I want you to send

me another keg at once. I am

sure that $5.00 worth of SAL-VET

saves me $10.00 worth of feed;

all of my sheep, cows and horses

are doing remarkably well. My

experience has been that SAL-

VET and worms cannot dwell to-

gether.”



E. A. Bontrager,

Fairview, Mich.

Aneffective medicated salt, containing just the right propor-

You cannot afford to let your animals run down, nor take chances of

Don’t Accept any Substitute





Don’t let anyone induce you to try “Sal” this or “Sal” that, nor any-

most prominent breeders and live stock authorities. It

costs no more than substitutes, contains no antimony,

It is never sold by wagonmen or peddlers, but only by re- j
