Th‘rq‘é'extremely dry fall weather has been gifipfnl to the farmers of the state in ma, ing the corn crop, but it has not been 'so beneficialhin other ways, especially in adding to the yield of potatoes by “spoiling all the little ones,” as is the common expression when a. timely rain comes just in season to help the late crop. Owing to this long spell of dry weather, which has been quite general thruout the state and much of the eastern portion of the country, the yield of late potatoes is likely to be disappointing, but if this condition is general it may not mean a heavy loss to the growers as the higher price which the tubers will bring if there is a shortage will compensate for the smaller yield. But the prospect of a somewhat shortened crop makes it all the more important to secure those which “we have grown in good condition, hence a word about the potato harvest will be timely. While all indications point to a late fall, yet the weather is always an uncertain proposition in Michigan, and it is not advisable to delay the potato harvest later than usual on account of these indi- cations. There is nothing worse to handle man a potato crop which has been left out until some of the tubers are frosted. Be as careful as we may in gathering them, or in subsequent sorting and We will get some of these frozen or frosted potatoes into the Winter storage in cellar or pit, and the sorting will have to be continued at intervals until the crop is disposed of. This means not only quite a percentage of loss in the potatoes them- selves, but a much greater one in the labor required to sort them, to say noth- ing of the vexation or the job and the dissastifaction which is almost sure to result when the crop is sold. For many years the writer has aimed to begin dig- ging the late potatoes the very first of October. In some seasons when they have been pretty green and not really fit to dig we have been doubtful about the wisdom of the policy, especially if the fine weather lasted for a week or more after they were all dug, but in other seasons when we have delayed beginning for a few days after the usual time and when we have had a few nipped with the frost we have had no re- them down a chute into the cellar window has very generally been discarded for better rmethods, yet some growers still empIOy the method. not a little and will injure their keeping depend upon circumstances. qualities as well. vesting. as the case may be.

It is not a. desirable job to handle potatoes out of a pit in the field along toward Thanksgiving and it is not an easy matter to get men to do it, but if they are in the cellar they can be handled any time. Of course, if one has not enough cellar storage to accommodate the crop, it may be neces- sary to pit some out. In this event they should be covered with dirt so as to avoid any dangcr of freezing “'c have found marsh hay an excellent matcrial for the first covering before the dirt is applied and have some out and cocked up for this purpose should it be needed.

There is considerable difference of opin- ion among growers touching the advisa- 4-bility of sorting the potatocs at digging time. “'hcre the crates are placed on a stoncboat drawn between the rows by a horse, as is practicable where the pota- toes are dug by hand and convenient whore the children hclp pick them up, the sorting can bc done as they are picked. uliho thcy will not be well sorted and the picking will not he done as rap— idly. \thrc the pointocs are put into the collar from the field it may pay to sort them over at the time they are- pickcd, but all things cmisidcrcd, the writcr is very doubtful whether this is prolilzllilc. \thrc the crop is pitted he is quite corlain that it is not profitable, sinwc. hurt: it sorter can be used whcn they arc tnkcn from the pit and put into winter storage or haulcd to market, and the nlcn will much prefer to handle them this way.

They are a valuable fccd and should not be wastcd. but if they are saved only to be used for seed your aftcr year until the var— maining doubts that it pays to do this work in season every year. In a. season like the present one when the growth of the tubers has been checked by the dry weather there is certainly no doubt about it being good policy to begin dig- ging early and this year we shall commcnce promptly on the first of October. Even when late rains come after the growth of the tubers has been checked it will not pay to wait for them, alt-ho the closer the crop is to maturity when dug the better will be its quality and the less will be the care necessary to use in handling it. Where the potatoes are dug a little green it pays to handle them carefully so as to bruise and peel them as little as possible. The old way of picking the potatoes into baskets, dumping them into a wagon box and shoveling A Good Field of Ensllage Corn iciy runs out, it would be more profitable to lcavc them on the ground than to gather them.

I have recently purchased a sandy farm that has been badly run. This land was originally oak openings, with here and there a pine. Have 14 acres from which I have just taken off a crop of pea beans. and which I will sow to rye soon. Would it be better to sow timothy seed on land this fall or wait until spring? I intend sowing to clover in the spring and let- ting the rye go back on the land. Would the harrowing in of the clover seed 1n the spring injure the timothy if sown this fall? ,Allegan C0. INQUIRER. The timothy seed should be sown this fall at the time of sewing the rye. It may be injured somewhat by harrowing in the clover in the spring. but you will get a better stand even then than would be the case with spring sowing. Your intention being to let the rye go back on the land it would be better to sow only a very thin seeding of rye, say about one peck per acre. This will give the clover a much better chance and the rye will tiller out and make a much better cover- ing for the ground than you would imagine. And, as the clover is the main thing to be desired in bringing up this land it w0uld be better not to sow too much timothy seed, say not more than two quarts per acre. and then give a. liberal seeding of clover next spring. A GOOD FIELD OF POTATOES. I am sending you a picture of my father's potato patch. «See first page). This picture was taken about the first of September and the view is lengthwise oi the pair-h, or down the rows which are three feet in width. Potatoes were planted about thc middle. of June.

It is quite an interesting question to decide the most favorable time for the sowing of fall whcat. The llossian fly must be taken into account, and then the weather and condition of the land. it is a well established fact that the lit‘fi:>‘.::il'i fly is much more liable to work in curly wheat than it is in late wheat. (‘onsvu qucnlly if we sow wheat too early and the fall is at all favorable for the ragavos of the fly, we. are liable to get our “boat scriously injured by this insect pest. A few years ago when the fly did so much damage in Michigan. we, were advised by all the, scientific men of our cxpcri- mcnt stations to sow late and then push the crop with fcrtilizcr to prcvcnt 1h..- ravages of the fly. Many people have carried this advice rather to thc extreme, and we have had the excuse for sowing wheat- late when we did not fully do our duty in making preparation if we did sow to prevent the work of this inscci. (‘on- scquontly many people have gottcn into thc habit of sowing fall whcat too latc. \\'hcat must get a good start in the fall in order to stand the winicr with any dc- ;zrcc of surety; but laying aside the fact that wheat may be injurcrl by the Hes— sian fly, I do not believe that it is policy to sow wheat too early in the fall. The wheat plant is not a tropical plant. It docs not do well in hot weather. It wants temperate wcalhcr. It should not be sown until there is a change in the weather from the hot weather of August and dog days to the temperate weather of our fall comes, because it will not do well in extremely hot weather, especially if the land is dry. We have been having such poor luck in this vicinity from late sowing that many farmers, it seems to me, are going to the extreme now and sowing it too early again and we will got the Hessian fly back, and also when, the tan is right we widget injury rm. Bow~ ing too early on account of the ho: weather. ,During the latter part of Au- gust We had a fairly good rain in- this vicinity Which wet up the ground as deep as it was plowed. People who had a light acreage of wheat to sow end had it plowed before this rain and immediately fcllowed the rain with proper tillage, conserved this moisture sothat the wheat would germinate on all but the dryest clay places. I know of some farmers who sowed the very first days of September and some fields that contained little or no clay are up nicely now. In fact, they made considerable growth. On the other hand, people who did rot have their wheat ground all plowed the last of Au- gust when the rain came, have not had sufficient moisture since to sow wheat and have any assurance that it would properly germinate and thrive. Now our wheat field was in exactly this condition. While we had ten acres plowed before the rain, much of it was quite heavy clay and while we disked it over and rolled it immediately after the rain, yet we did not succeed in conserving moisture enough so- that I was Willing to risk the sewing. Besides, I thot the very first days of September was pretty early to sow wheat, with prospects of a late fall. The balance of the, acreage intended for wheat was not plowed until after the rain in August, consequently that land has been at no time in proper condition for sowing. I confess I have not known what to do. Today Is the 21st of Sep- tember and We have’nt any wheat sown, yet we have had 35 acres prepared for the last ten days waiting for a rain. Some say I ought to have sown but I could not make myself believe it. We are rcady to sow just as soon as moisture enough comes so that I am sure that there will be good germination at the start. (On the night of the 2lst there was a heavy rain which wet the ground thoroly). Treating Seed Wheat for Smut. “’0 have treated all of our seed wheat for smut with formaldehyde. just the same. way as we treated the cats for smut. Some people ask the question, does it pay? Now it is a hard matter for the average farmer to tell whether it pays or not. He cannot perform a care- l‘ul experiment which will demonstrate beyond the question of a doubt if it pays. lie/must take the word of the director 01' our experiment station. who makes care- ful experiments along this line and proves to himself that, the treatment of seed wheat with formaldehyde does prevent smut. It costs but very little in either lime or money to do this and the farmer can well afford to do it. Clipping New Seeding. We have our 30 acres of new seeding clover clipped. It is one of the finest stands of clover, as I have stated before, that we have, cvcr had. It is uniform and thick over the entire 30 acres and looks very promising for a good crop next year. The reason. of course, for clipping (lover is, first of all. to destroy any weeds that may be in the field. Second, it is a well known fact that if you prune the top of a plant it tends to develop root growth and this makes a hardicr plant. Third. the clipping-‘4, which contain much wheat stubble, form a sort of mulch which protccts the roots from the hot sun, and also during the winlcr. (".vn‘i-l‘ Second Cutting of Clover Hay. We have had another very dry sum- mer, scarcely any rain at all since the first cutting. yet we are now cutting the second cutting. Some. portions of the field have a good crop, that is, for second cutting. It will go a ion to the acre, but it will not average this over the entire ficid. “'eVare practic’ng the same system in the second cuitim;r that we did in the first, mowing; down in ihc forenoon, raking up in the afternoon and cocking and put- ting on the caps and leaving it in the cock until it is thoroly cured.

This pie has been a.» pasture"for ten years and corn is fine. - 7 Van Buren 00. W. Km It is always risky to: sow wheat in the state of Michigan after the {at of Octo- ber. If we have a Warm, pleaaiant fall with plenty of moisture. wheat may come up and get a. fair growth sown later than that, but the probability is that it will not, and wheat to go into the winter without a fairly good top is risky. It is liable to winter kill. I have known of instances where wheat was sewn rather late, the fall dry and cold and it scarcely came up at all, yet the character of the winter and the following spring was such that there was a. fair crop. I never saw a good crop under such conditions. Con- sequently so much dependsupon circum- stances that it is risxy to give any ad- vice. In fact, I would not want to advise sowing this field after the corn was taken off along in October. It is too late for winter wheat. I used to sow wheat after ensllage corn. We would get the ensilage corn off the last of August or the first week in September. Then we had time to cultivate the ground well, work it up and sowothe wheat along about the mid- dle, or sometimes toward the last of Sep- tember. But late years the sea-sons have changed. We haven’t been able to get our com planted so that we could get it off by’ the first of September. It is more likely to be the first of October, and some times as late as the 15th of OCtober,' late years, before we finished cutting en—’ silage corn. Consequently, I have given up the idea of sowing wheat after en~ silage com. If the season ever changes again, I might change back because this is a cheap way to raise wheat providing you can get it in on time. Now, my ad— vice would be to Mr. Kahl, to let this field .go until spring, and sew to oats. A good crop of cats is about as profitable as a crop of wheat. And certainly there isn’t as much risk to run as there is sow- ing it to wheat so late in the season. COLON C. LILLIE. Dairy Show Nerve—Many Prizes at 'the National Dairy Show. Many valuable cups and medals will be awarded at the National Dairy Show, which will be held in Milwaukee, October 14-24. One which ought to create a great deal of interest will be a. Herdsman’s Prize medal, to be awarded to the herds- man in each breed whose cattle are best fitted, best handled, and which get Into the ring most promptly, and whose stables are best kept. A prize of this sort ought to increase the interest of the herds- man. There will also be given four silver trophy cups for the milk wagon display, which will be limited to one horse wagon, two horse wagon, tandem, and four horse wagon. Neatness of equipment, style, etc., will be taken into consideration in awarding the prizes. Premiums for dairy .butter will also be awarded. For the first prize the association has put up a gold medal, and a silver medal for the second prize. For all dairy butter scor— ing 90 or better. diplomas of the National Dairy Show Association will be given.

Amatite Growing Popular. The tremendous popularity of Amatite Ready Roofing shows how the idca of a. roofing which you don’t have to paint has been seized upon by practical Americans all over the country. There, is no doubt that the grcat trouble with the old style smooth surfaced roofing; was the fact that they required so much care. They had to be painted cvcry two years to keep them in proper condition. Amatite, how» ever, is no more expensive than smooth surfaced roofings of cqual weight, and as soon as it is laid the work is all done. Not only can Amatitc be left unpainted, but its mineral surface actually makes painting impossible. There is accordingly a big saving in money, trouble and bother.

If the former have been properly handled since- t'he lambs were weaned they should be it. good flesh and condition. This is rather important if good lambs are to be secured and the longevity and usefulness of the ewes is to be perpetuated. It is too much to expect that a ewe will raise one or two good lambs and produce a good fleece of wool each year unless she is well fed and cared for. She may do it for a few years if kept on just a main- tenance ration in winter and run on scant pasture in the summer, but she cannot continue to prove profitable for long un- less she is given a chance to build up during the short period each year when the maternity functions are not subjected to a special tax or strain. Thus the ewes should always be given the best of pas- ture after the lambs are weaned and their milk flow has ceased, so that they will be in good condition before the breed— ing season. This is best done by sowing some supplementary forage crop, such an rape, to provide good summer pasture. ' The, writer has practiced this for years, and his ewes are always in line condition for early breeding. , But in case this has not been done, it THE ’MiCHiGAN FA'RMER. ’ 18 provided with good pasture, or a suitable grain ration and supplementary forage, and should be protected from cold storms, either bya shed in the field or by bring- ing themlto the yards where they have access to shelter. Nor should they be left to glean their living from the fields after the grass is severely frosted. A run at pasture is the best possible thing for the flock during the late fall and even in Win- ter, and a little‘ of this frosted grass will do them no harm, but they should not be compelled to live on it entirely. Then after they are put into winter quarters the ewes should be fed in accordance with their condition; giving them a good, wholesome maintenance ration if they are in good flesh and a ration that will keep them gaining if they are thin. The writer prefers to feed a small grain ration thru- out the winter than to feed unevenly as the season advances. The thing to be desired is to have them doing well all the time, and to have their environments as natural as possible, with no violent changes in diet or other conditons which will affect their general health or condi- tion. With such care a maximum lamb crop may be expected, and the usefulness of the flock prolonged to the greatest possible limit. The care of the ram during the breed— ing season is generally thot more essential by the average breeder or farmer than that of the ewes, and the same principles will apply as with the ewes, so far as they go. The average sheep owner will not find it practicable to take the time and trouble in caring for the ram which the experienced shepherd finds profitable with the costly sire, in the pure-bred tiock, but he should give him a reasonable we» Grand Champion Berkshire Sow at State Fair, Shown by Hibbard & Baldwin. is essential that the ewes be gaining in flesh during the brccding season, if a large lamb crop is to be secured. In fact, it is a well settled idea among sheep breeders that a much larger proportion of twin lambs will be sccurcd if the ewes are so managed as to be gaining rapidly in flesh just before and during the sea— son when they are being bred. This pro— (3058 of forcing the ewes is called “flush- ing" by the English flockmastcrs and shepherds. and probably will bring a larger proportion of twin lambs than the plan followed by the writer of having the (wcs in prime condition before the breed— ing season arrives. and for the aycrou‘c farmer who keeps grade shecp this plan Will probably be quite as In‘otitable as any, altho the breeder of pure—bred stock which is intended for sale for breeding purposes would prefer one, good strong Vigorous lamb to each ewe than more. So during the breeding season the ewes should have the best of pasture, or lack— ing that should be gchn a, light grain ra— tion to insure their thrift and stimulate the whole body, the, organs of reproduc~ tion included. Having bred the owes, the average farmer is inclined to feel that they need little more attention until the time comes when they must be. taken into winter quarters and all too often they are left out on scanty pasture and without pro- tection during the cold storms of an- tumn. This is a great mistake, and one. for which the owner will surely pay. The ewes should be made comfortable at all times if the best results are to be ex- pected in the next season’s lamb crop. and either short feed which means slow starvation or exposure which means dis- comfort to them will effect the vigor of the ewes in a manner which will be felt both in the lamb crop and the fleece taken from them the following spring. For these reasons the ewes should be amount of attention. dition this will be accomplished by giv~ ing him a proper grain ration, and re- moving him trom the flock for a time each day, preferably running him with the ewes at night and keeping him in a convenient pasture near the barn during the. day. This, however, is not so import— ant where, only a small ilock is main- tained, altho it is good economy in any case. But every shccp owner should care-- fully study this proposition, and the more he studies it the more certain he will l,ccomc that much of the success of the lamb crop depends upon the handling of tho llock during and subsequent to the. brccding season.

If this column is watched carefully you will probably find the desired information in a reply that has been made to some one else. A. H. C., Clarksville, Mich—You Will notice that I have stated in this column what others should do with their cows that give bloody milk. E. H. T., Augusta, Mich—A great many chickens that show leg weakness are very apt to be lousy or their coop is not a fit place to keep them in. Log weak— ness is dcbility, very often the result of other diseases. Scours.~—VVill you tell me what to do for a cow that is dried up and will not fatten? W. D. K., Mt. Pleasant. Mich.—~ If your cow has not dried off in milk sup— ply, feed her less milk producing food and don‘t milk her so often. Give 1 oz. ground gentian, 1 oz. ginger and 1/2 oz. fenu- greek at a dose in feed two or three tunes 2. day. lameness—I have a horse six years old that went lame last spring that has ncvcr recovered.

Hartford, Mich.~l“irst of all, you should make a thorn exami- nation Io ascertain what the lameness is, instead of blistering apply tincture iodine to parts and I fully believe you will be better pleased with the results than from severe blisters.

' Suppurating Foot—My yearling colt came .from pasture a. few evening's ago, traveling quite lame in hind leg; thinking perhaps he had sprained his foot I kept him quiet for a few days, but he grew worse. The whole leg swelled; finally a. yellowish matter came from heel-my neighbor thot he had been bitten by a dog; since then have given 'him some sulphur and applied witch hazen to foot. “flint had I better do for him? G. C. D., PInconning, Mich—Your colt ’may have only bruised his heel, causing considerable swelling of leg. Dissolve 1/, lb. acetate of lead in a gallon of water, addaing one pInt tincture arnica and apply it to leg three times a day. It is possible there may be some foreign body in foot; if so ought to be taken out.

The first attack happened four years ago; he also had another attack a year later. However. I succeeded in affecting a. cure both times by applying liniment, but now It does not seem to produce the same re- sults. I am milking a cow the third sum— mer and one corner of her udder appears to be blocked up and it is seemingly lmv possible to get the. milk from quarter into teat rapidly. When the opposite teat is milked out this one is half full. She has been this way all her life. Can anvt‘hing be done to relieve her? I. C. W'.. Jasper. IVllt'll.~BllSl0r your horse’s shoulder with ccrate of cantharides every week or ten days and he will get well. The only part you need to treat is the atrophied portion of shoulder.

A box from the grocery store, a few small wire nail-s, some stiff cardboard, and a short piece of curtain pole is all that is needed to make this power, which will develop the boy's ingenuity and give 'him a whole lot of entertainment. The box should be oblong in shape, and with shallow sides. Remove the lid, and if necessary put a few more nails in the bottom and sides. Cut two holes. about 3 inches square, in each opposite diagonal corner, and make a small hole, (A, Fig I) in another. \Vith a sharp knife, held to the edge of a flat: ruler, cut from the lid of the box a number of strip: of wood about half an inch wide, for the frames of the pit. (Fig. II.) Four oi these frames, or two pairs, are to be made exactly alike, about 12 inches high, and to spread about (3 inches at the bot— tom.

HOW CORRECT TIME IS OBTAINED. BY ALONZO RICE. “'0 often hear persons, in charge of certain affairs, stating that it is their intention to make them move off “like clOck—work.” There is much food for t‘hot in that phrase. “like clock—work!” 'l‘hat trains may arrive and depart or. time it: is necesary that they carry the correct time; it may be said that often our lives depend on the accuracy of a lonductor's watch. We have often seen how convenient it is to live near an accurately striking public clock. All the watches of the cmnmnnity within sound of the bell may be set to the same minute. \Ve are told that these clocks obtain the correct time, it, may be once a day or once each hour, from a clot-l; at some central point. Then the. question naturally arises as to how this clock is known to be correct; perhaps it may deviate a little each day, one way t‘l‘ the otheriit second too slow or a second too fast. Many persons, even those of education. believe that the sun furnishes the means of regulation, supposing that it comes on the meridian at twelve every day. l’iut the sun is in fact a most irregular time- kccpcr. arriving sometimes a quarter oi an hour before this and sometimes a quarter of an hour after, and varying more than half an hour in the year, so that a watch that kept no better time than the sun does would be a. poor one indeed. ' We must set our clock by something, and this is done, in the first place, by setting it with another. This second limc~piece is called the siderial clock, and it is regulated by the stars and not by the sun. The turning of the globe is made the standard that this clock is set by; the revolution of our planet is the final measure of uniformity in time. We make the earth mark off the hours by first selecting some fixed object, like a star, whose real place can not be alterca by any motion of our own. If a telescope be bolted against some solid wall of stone. at such an angle as to be directed to the star at any moment, it will, in the course of a day and a night, sweep the whole circuit of the heavens. The siderial clock is started when the telescope is directed exactly at the star. \Vhen next the tele— scope brings this star into its line of vision, the hand should have arrived at the starting point on the dial. In prac- tice the telescope is firmly bolted to two stone piers, one on either side. It is free to move to the right or left, while it can be elevated or lowered, so that its use is not confined to any particular height of the heavens. The telescope is made so large that any bright star may be seen even in the daytime. For grcf'tlci' accuracy, fibres of the little wood-spider (common cobweb is too coarse) are stretched up and down in the middle of the field of view to serve as pointers. The instant that the star appears to cross the middle line is the moment at which to compare the clock. The correct time obtained, it is telegraphed to all the dif— ferent parts of the country.

No matter of what kind of metal they may be made, the Indian woman must have a quantity of ornaments, loading herself with trinkets from the top of her head to the toes of her feet. An orna— ment is worn on the crown of the head which gives a kind of steeple-like effect. On the forehead is worn a pendant made of square or geometrical-shaped pieces, strung on a silk thread. In her nose she wears nose—rings. The sides of the nose rnd the middle partition of the nostrils are pierced for putting on these orna- ments. liar-rings are. also worn, and the. entire car is pierced at various intervals to accommodate these rings.

A CASE OF IDENTITY. (Continued from page 262). and his gentle acceptance of her plan as the best way rather staggered and am- barrassed her, for she was magnanimous enough to see that it was only his tactful appreciation of her own humiliating de- pendence that made him willing to do so, and no mere mercenary desire for'the money itself. They sat in silence for a few moments, While she thotfully revolved all this in her mind, growing more and more to ad— mire the manlincss of the man before, her. Then suddenly, “I am going home to baby tomorrow,” she said; “I can hardly wait. She is all I have, you know,” with a little quiver of the lips, While her eyes suddenly filled with tea-rs and Lindsay mentally cursed the man who could leave alone and uncared for such a lovable woman; and himself, that he had not seen the other officers of the bank and extracted promises of secrecy from them. Then, with an effort, she controlled herself, and Lindsay, as he took her 'hand in parting, begged her again not to worry about the money, and soberly said, “Remember, Mrs. Lindsay, that I shall always be your friend.” “Thank you," she murmured; “I think I have not thot to thank you before, but I shall always remember your kindness.” In the face of his understanding sympathy her anger had all tied, and in its place arose an admiration of the kindly spirit of the man. ='“ 3 >3 =3 Three years later, Mrs. Lindsay, teach- ing in the city schools of l‘mlor, received a telegram telling of the death of her husband in a western town. Tho what— ever of love she might haVe had for him had well nigh been killed by his cruel neglect, she still could not bear to think of his being buried in a pauper's grave. So, sorrowfully, she drew her little hoard —it was only ninety dollars saved toward the third of the one hundred dollars which she had been sending annually to Lindsay—and gave, directions for his body to be shipped back home, The funeral services were simple. They were held in the little old church in the 'home village where they had spent those few disappointing and stormy months oi married life. Mrs. Lindsay and his mother were the only mourners, and to- gether they followvd him to his last rest- ing place, and wept bitter tours for tho wayward b0y who had blighted both their lives. After it was all over she came back to her teaching. She knew that Lindsay was in the city superintonding the crow- tion of a large business block, but, altho she had several times lllt't him upon the, street. they had only cxclizingcd the most common-place greetings. Now, as she loaned back in her chair, a few evenings later, with her little daughter in her arms, tired and discour- aged. it scomed as tho the release from that, most unwelcome bondage of debt to him was almost as far away as ever. She could not pay one cent this year and probably, even with the closest economy, less than a hundred next year.

He had been as distantly courteous to her as , THE MICHIGA he would have been to any other married woman of his acquaintance, and in her heart she thanked him for it. Now, as she sat musing over these things, he passed by the house, and, act- ing on the spur of the moment, she sent her little daughter to ca-ll him in. The little one returned in his arms. He had sought her out soon after his arrival in the town and they were now fast friends. . Mrs. Lindsay, with her usual straight- forwardness, went directly to the matter in hand. “Mr. Lindsay,” she said, “I have to tell you that it will be impogsible for me to pay you anything this year." “Well,” he answered with one of his whimsical little half smiles, “you know it doesn’t matter, don’t you?" If he suspected why, he gave no sign and dismissed the subject quickly with the information that he was leaving town the next day. “I will be needed no more,” he said. “The work here is al- most completed and I am needed at Mil- brook, where we have a contract to put up the new county building's.” Thus they chatted for a few minutes, he talking naturally of his work and she telling him something of her experience in teaching. Then again, in parting, Lindsay took her hand. and looking steadily down into those luminous dark eyes with his twink- ling blue—gray ones, he gently said, “Don’t fret for a moment about that pesky money. I have wished a thousand times that you had never found it out." * =9: :2: * A year passed on, a quiet, peaceful your, and Mrs. Lindsay was happier in hor work and the love of her child, now a winsome maid of eight summers, than she had over been. She t-hot sometimes that if it had not been for her load of dobt, which, small tho it was, was to bi r shoulders (burdened already with the support of herself and child) a formid- able mountain, there would not have been a cioud upon her horizon.

If your child goes to school so far from home that a basket lunch is necesasry, care should be taken in preparing this noonday luncheon. It should be put up dointily, the various kinds of foods being wrapped neatly in oiled paper. To send a young child to school with a lunch composed of “any old thing" arranged in “any old way” is to invite all kinds of ill to take possession of his stomach. The first thing in putting up a lunch is to be sure that the basket is absolutely clean. Then cut your sandwiches small and thin and place in oiled paper. VVhoie wheat bread with some nice filling makes the best sandwiches and there should be. plenty of them to assuage hunger. Place some tasty sweet in the basket. A good plain cake, with a plain icing will answei the purpose nicely, or cookies with a raisin in the top. please children. The lunch should always include fruit, an apple, or an orange occasionally, or anything you have. I sometimes add a small cake of maple sugar in the winter.——M. A. P. ORANGE CAKE.

Don‘t drink tea. Don’t exercise too much. These three don‘ts constitute the advice of Miss May Sutton, champion woman tennis player of the world, to girls who would go in seriously and systematically for athletics. Eat what you want. Take long walks. Get all the fresh air you can. These are the three rules Miss Sutton lays down for girls who desire merely to be strong and healthy. The little champion recently appeared on courts in San Francisco in a series of exhibition matches. It had been reported that she was not in the best of health, but she gave no indication of having “gone back,” playing her strong game that made her world’s champion, with her same old dash and accuracy. At the close of the series Miss Sutton was asked to tell what system of train- ing she had found most effective and what, in her opinion, is the best form of exercise and diet for the average Am- erican girl. In part she said: “While I advocate hearty eating, I cannot say too much against the use of tea or coffee. no one can be healthy who persists in their use. ‘(VFOO little. much exercise is as bad as too \Valking is the best exercise there is. Early each morning, after drinking a glass of hot water, dressed in loose clothing, I walk for nearly an hour. “Athletics should receive some attention from every girl. If her time prccludcs the playing of tennis or golf she should take long walks in the opcn air, both bct‘orc the morning and evening meal, throwing the head and shoulders back and taking long, deep draughts of that which n-oncy cannot buy but is in reach of the poor as well as the rich—~purc air. "Pure air and a imodcrate amount of cxcrclsc i cannot too strongly impress upon girls as being the only secret of health and grace. Medicine for that out- of-sorts fecling may cause girls to imagine they feel all right, but what they really need is more, frcsh air and not quite so’ much sitting around the house in tight- Iitting clothes as a great many of them do.” . Miss Sutton is declared by physicians to be a pcrfcct athlcte. Tennis experts dcclare that every movement is “a pic" turc.”—chingt0n (Kin) Leader. l “Don’t Drink Coffee “Don’t Drink Tea “Don’t Exercise ‘Too Much” Very easy when you know how much more satisfactory POSTUM is, as a morning cup.

Johnson, of Minnesota, died Sep- tember 21, after a. short illness following an operation for an intestinal abscess. He was conscious to the end and at his bed- side were his wife, other members of the family and men prominent in the political life of the state and nation. In the death of Gov. Johnson, the minority party or the country has lost a strong personality, one who had gained the support of his own state which is potentially republican, being elected for the third term as chief executive, and who was being looked upon by the different leading members 01‘ the minority party as the person in whom the party might be brot back to power! again. He started life as a poor boy, being called upon in his early teens to support a mother and her small family. This 'he did and rapidly stcppcd up as opportunity offered, taking advantage of odd hours to become acquainted with men and books and fit himself for the public duty which afterwards came to him.

WHOLESALE MARKETS. September 29, 1909. Grains and Seeds. Wheat.———Prices all along the line have made a marked gain since last week‘s close. Reports of liberal marketing in the northwest served to hold the advocates of higher values in check last week and still exerted some influence at this week’s opening. However, the movement of grain on Tuesday fell far short of what was expected, the reason given being that spring wheat growers of the north- west are showing the same deliberation about selling as have the growers of Win- ter wheat since the new crop became available. If this is the true 'condition, and many of the shrewdest grain operat- ors believe that it is, it probably means that for a time growers W111 dictate prices. it is claimed that a large propor- tion of the spring wheat growers_are in position to hold their grain, while the fact that southwestern millers are buying winter wheat for present needs in Min- neapolis is evidence that the movement of grain is not up to normal. At any rate the future of the market .would seem to depend largely upon the Willingness or growers to sell. A year ago No. 2 red wheat was selling in this market at $1.001/2 per bu.

Grassy natives were discriminated against, and these were the quickest to weaken, as rangers were greatly pre- ferred by buyers. Westerns sold irregu- larly, and only fat lots were firm, others ruling 15@20c lower on an average. Farm steers went largely at 5555060165, with the poorer lots bringing $4605.25 and good to fancy shipping grades taken at $7608.40. Good yearlings sold along with heavier beeves, buyers paying,r $7608.30, and export steers weighing 1,275 to 1.400 lbs. brot $6.656v7.50, but no large number was taken for foreign markets. Native cows and heifers were not in excessive supply and had a good outlet at $3604.50, with a limited number of prime heifers scling around $5696. Canners and cut- tcrs sold as usual at $2693.10, bulls selling at 2525060485, and calves were still higher, going at $3.50@9.50 per 100 lbs. Milkers and springers also advanced, selling at. $306170 per head. Stockers and feeders were, in better request, and the best feeders Sold up to $5.50@5.75, with few offered. Ordinary feeders sold at $42560 4.50, and stockers sold at $3604.40, “'est— crn range cattle sold at $4,506]? for steers and $3604.60 for cows and heifers, a feeder class going at $4604.60. Today, Monday, cattle prices are largely a dime lower, with heavy receipts here and 30,000 receipts at Kansas City. Chi- cago receipts embrace 10,000 western rangers. Only choice cattle remain Steady. Hogs were marketed last Week in mea- gcr numbers here and elsewhere, and they have been falling off in weight and running more to the car. The average “'t‘lgllt was 229 lbs., compared with 225 lbs. a few weeks ago, 214 lbs. a year ago and 253 lbs, two years ago. The most marked feature of trade was the ex- tremely small buying done by eastern shippers, leaving a greater percentage for local packers and butchers, but good droves sold at the best prices of the year, with a good demand. Pigs and light weight grassy mixed hogs did not meet with favor from buyers, and such offer- ings had to be. sold at large concessions in prices. (lood 'hogs were offered in too small numbers to meet the demand, and provisions firmed up all along the. line under small and decreasing stocks every- where. Prime hogs sold a few days ago at $8.65, breaking all high records of tho ,\<-ar. Today the market was slow and 561100 lower, with sales at $7.70618.5ti, Sheep and lambs came to market last week in liberal numbers, the ldaho and other distant ranges contributing a great share, with lambs, as usual, comprising by far the principal part of the offerings. Prices reached a lower level, and cven range, feeder lambs were somewhat lower, with a good demand at $0606.65 per it‘ll lbs. Feeders paid iii-40604.75 for \ycthers and 247560550 for yearlings, and Sull'it; good sales were made of range feeding iwcs at $3.256113.75, while breeding ewes were. in good demand at $4.50615,50. From now on range sheepmen will hurry up shipments until shut off by bad weather. The market today, Monday, was very dull and 1061‘15c lower, with ex- ircmcly large receipts here and elsewhere. Lambs were salable at $4607.10, wethcrs at 314.50.605.15, ewes at $2604.85, rams and stags at $2.5061‘375 and yearlings at $56tl5.50. Horses were not sent to market last week in particularly large numbers, and to some extent the recent decline in prices was checked, altho there were instances where plain and medium grade light \x'eight horses sold still lower. with a very poor demand. Plenty of blemis'hed horses of all weights had to be closed out at 9%706/‘125 per head. while prime, heavy stallfcd drafters were salable at $2256?) 250 and higher. Drivers were in fairly active demand at $150rl‘300, with a coin- moner kind quotable at 95100611125, Small southern chunks had a slow sale, at $60@ 125, while feeders were wanted at $170671 225. Fall orders are running principally on heavy commercial chunks and choice feeders, but it has been hard to sell light or farm chunks at country cost. W.

Having decided which breed is best adapted to the particular branch of the dairy business that we are making our specialty, the next thing to be observed in selecting heifers that are to be grown and developed into dairy cows to replace the cows that are discarded, is to secure those that possess quality, Many dairymcn who buy pure—bred hulls to grade up their herds of dairy cattle make a mistake and raise all of their heifer calves and fail to get results. In selecting heifer calves to feed and develop for dairy purposes we need to select only those that come from the best producing cows and give promise of equaling or excelling their dams. Every calf should be carefully examined and when one is found that is weak and acncmic. it Should not be raised. Opcr. the calf’s mouth and examine its teeth and if you find but four of the milk teeth the chances are the calf is not worth raising. Such culvcs invariably lack strength and stamina. Next examine the navel 11nd the tcais. The teats should be well placed, for no dairy cow has a well balanced uddcr unless the tents are well placed. As soon as 11 culf is found that comcs up to our iixcd standard of require- ments it should be kept :111d given every to rcuc'll 11 rupid and houllihy 1'111‘1111‘llillll3' which is St) cssonl‘nl during 11«'\'1*l(l]nli(‘lli, iho lirst lwo yours of the duiry cow‘s lil'c.

I do not br- licve in taking the calf away from the cow at once, but allow it to remain with her for two or three days, not only Tw- causc I think it host for the cow but because I think it is better for the health of the calf. The first feed that is given the calf should consist of its mother’s injurious at a later stage of its growth.

As soon as the calf will nibble bits of clovcr or alfalfa ‘hay, or eat a little dry grain food, skim-milk may be substi- tuted for whole milk and the fats that rave been removed by skimming supple- mented by the use of grain or mill-feed. Oat meal and old process oil meal equal parts makes an cxct-llcnt Substitute for the fats rcmovcd by skimming and is well adapted to thc llt't‘dS of the growing calves. In feeding young calves I am in favor of fcdeing them three times a d:1y, morn- ing, noon and night I believe that much hurt is done to a growing calf by allowing it to worry for its meals. The practice of giving a meal at morning and another at night, lcaving the long interval of a whole day to intervene( is not the beSt method. An uneasy, waiting, watching, weary animal will not be a thriving one. The sense of yhpsicul comfort and case is essential to profitable growth and do velopmcnt.

' .2.) upon'the success of our agriculture. We cannot have prosperous commercialism unlesg we have a. prosperous agriculture back of it. History has dcmonstratco this in every land. under every ciime. Ag- riculturc, the products which are obtained from the soil, is the foundation of ma- terial prosperity and business men should be, and are becoming as much interested in the development of our agriculture as they are in their own business because they realize that their business depends upon the success of agriculture, and for this reason such men as the Hon. James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railway is giving much thot and atten» tion to the future development of the ag- ricultural resources of the northwest. He not only realizes that the future of that great road depends upon this, but he also realizes that other industries depend upon the development of the agricultural re- sources. Mr. Hill has given this subject very great that and he is doing as much or more to create enthusiasm in agricul- tun: as probably any other single person in the country. His commanding position as a captain of industry and his great intellectual ability and breadth of mind, of course gives hm a great influence and all pay respectful attention to what he says. Some one remarked to him that they did not see why he Should be an earnest advocate of dairying, because his railroads would receive fore freight it the furthers of the great northwest were grain farmers and he could haul their product to market. In answer to this Mr. Hill replied that he knew enough about agriculture to know that if the people continued to raise grain nftcr groin, your after year, that it would only be a question of a few years bcfore his road would not have anything to haul; but on the other hand, if they would keep cows and feed the coarse products (if tho farm to the dairy cow, preserve ihc munuro and put it back onto the, soil, they would conserve soil fertility and gradually improve their farms. Conse— quently he would get more of everything to haul than he would did they not take 2111 interest: in dairying. 'l‘his illustratcs the breadth of thot of this great mun. He looks at the present and the future. These things make dairying of very great and national importance, and by lieu of this, the National Dairy Show As- sociation becomes an organization of national import. If greater enthusiasm can be stimulated in dairy farming, it will assist in the future industrial devel— opment of the country. and be the means of the conservation of the greatest naiu- ral resom'ce of this country—soil fertility. And when we look at the subject from this broad standpoint, every individual in the whole land is interested in the success of dairy farming, and in farming in general. Consequently they ought to be interested in the forthcoming national dairy show which has for its object as stated before, creating a greater interest in the dairy cow and in dairy products. IS THE QUALITY OF BUTTER IM- PROVING? The September Scoring Contest was held in Grand Rapids at the West Mich- igan State Fair, on Tuesday. September 14. This contest was held much earlier in the month than usual so that it could be held at the time Of the fair, thus giving ihc participants in tho scoring a chance to cuter their butter for premiums offvrcd by the fair association and also ill tho some time to make a boiler dis- play for the fair.

That’s how a, DE LAVAL separator saves its cost at least the first year, and frequently in a few months, and then goes on doing so right along for an average of twenty years. So far as other separators are concerned they lcavc ol‘l‘ where the lMPROVED DE LAVAL machines begin, and the DE LAVAL makers, with thirty years of experience in separator construction and development, have forgotten more about separators than all the others know. In fact it’s What the DE LAVAL has forgotten and discarded that the others use. That's what makes the DE LAVAL CREAM SEPARATOR the best investment any cow ownor cvcr mudo, and :m inw-slmcut no, cow owner can have sound reason for delayingr to make. And in buying a DE LAVAL machine you don't hzrvc to porn; with one cent until you have satisfied yourself that every word of all this is simple truth. Any desired separator information can be had of the nearest DE LAVAL agent or of the company directly.

The questions which interest dairymen are : Which is the best Cream Separator in 1909 ? And which will continue to be the best Separator in 1910 ? The United States Separator holds the World’s Record for close skimming. Its record has not been equaled by any Cream Separator, although numerous attempts have been made to equal it. The United States has a solid one piece frame. No bolts, screws or rivets to work loose. Gearing enclosed in dust-proof case. Gearing runs in oil bath. Closest skimmer in the world. Simple and easy to clean. Light running. Longest lilc. The United States has the best point of all—perfect separa- tion—and also has more other good points than any other Separator.

Two of the most essential parts of car- ing for the apple crop are carefulness and promptness at the harvest time. -It.mat- ters not whether the apples are to be stored for home use, stored in cellars for home trade or to be shipped for cold storage, they should be picked and hand- led very carefully. It doesn’t take but a slight bruise from falling or handling to cut short the life of the apple very mate— rially. A prick thru the skin makes an easy avenue or the ever wide-awake and zealous rot fungi to enter and begin the decay. A bruise. too, encourages and hastens decomposition, more than many, I fear, realize. An experiment at the col- lege two or three years ago, indicated that carelessly handled apples decay much more quickly than carefully picked and handled apples. The increase in rot, in a given time, was nearly 70 per cent. Then, too, bruised apples do not seh nearly as well as sound apples, simply because of their soiled appearance. This is partcularly true of light colored apples as the Bellflower, Winter Banana and the like. Michigan apple crop, this fall is not a bumper crop by any means, and this means that number one apples will bring unusual prices. Already the writer has learned of several growers who have sold their crop at very flattering figures. It is conceded everywhere in American markets that Michigan apples are un~ surpassed in quality, At the same time it must he admitted that many first-class Michiyan apples have been marketed as New York apples, in ordcr to bring prices in keeping with their value. This is be- cause so many poor apples and poorly handled apples have been marketed as first-class apples and ~Michigan is thereby given a black cyc. It is difficult to under— stand the philosophy of the lilt'll who are responsible for this situation but it ex- ists and should be remedied. it, is alto- gether possible and by all means desirable if all Michigan apple growers and packers do their part. rl‘hcre are, Michigan who do not l1ccd to he reminded of these, facts and precautions, but there are more who can improve wonderfully in the handling of their crop.

The illustration on this page is that of an English walnut growing in Niagara New York. on the farm of A. C. Pomeroy, It is generally understood that this spccies of plant will not: grow well in this latitude but'from the success at- trnded the trees on the farm above men- tioned it seems that here is a strain that is doing all that could be asked of it in the latitude of Port Huron and Saginaw. “'e are fast learning that the adaptation of varieties to certain localities and (‘01)— oitions is 'becoming an important factor in fruit growing. The department of agriculture has and is sending men to all parts of the world for the purpose or finding new kinds of plants that will give better satisfaction than the ones we now have, and, while they have many times failed to get- results. they have found a few plants that haVe been a decided boon to our farms. orchards and fruit gardens. iVe must believe that this adaptability is as possible with the English walnut as with any other. plant and it would seem from the fact that these trees, county, THE MICHIGAN FARMER which it was the pleasure of the writer to see a. few days ago, are living thru Winters that destroyed peach trees and grape .vines near by and continue year after year to produce abundant fruit, will bring to us this most desirable nut without going to the grocery for it. This tree and otherscn the farm of like size are producing from ten to eight- enn bushels of nuts per year per tree. The 'writer would estimate that there were over twenty bushels on two trees that he saw. These nuts are selling around six dollars per bushel. A tree about 14 feet in height and said to be six years old had nuts on it. An advantage claimed by the owner over other varieties is that the staminate and pistilate flowers both come at the same time, which makes it possible for the tree to produce fruit if standing alone. It would, no doubt, be better to have a number of trees to- gether the same as in growing other fruit that cross pollination might take place. As an ornamental tree the picture speaks for itself. It is adapted to road- side planting, to a background for the house and buildings in making plantings about the home, or it can be used to fill out odd corners, making them a place to be admired as well as turning a dump ground or weed lot into a profit-making spot. \Ve are informed that there are a few of these trees now growing in Michigan. In Oakland, Ingham, St. Clair and Hills- quality. I have kept them from two to three'years and have failed to find any bad ones.” AMERICAN ‘POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. The thirty-first biennial meeting of the American pomological society was hell at St. Catharines, Ont., September 21 to 251. The provinces and the states were well represented at the gathering, which because of the practical import of the discussions, the preparations made for in— structing the visitors, the character of the program will be a memorable one in the history of the society. Better weather could not have prevailed. The purpose of this organization reaches into every department of fruit produc- tion, and the program presented did not fail to touch the business of every fruit grower on the continent. The east and west, north and south, had a part that made it worth while for those who trav- eled from the different parts to come, give and take of the feast of experience revealed at the several sessions. Space does not permit our running a review of the full program. Much of it would be of little practical value to .our readers for the reason that it pertains to the busineSS in other parts of the country. We shall give such papers and review of such addresses as may have a message to growers of Michigan and adjacent states and provinces as space permits. To multiply the benefits derived from Typical English Walnut Tree on Farm dale ttmpts in their a more li‘ocral counties are reported successful at— l‘ulturc. \Vc bclicve that planting of them would be to the advantage of thc fanning com— munity, both in adding bcauty and profit to the farms aft'I-(ttcd. \Vith thc small amount of cxpcricncc at hand as to the proper treatment and care of the trccs, it would not be the part of wisdom to put out large plantings of the variety, but if farmers in hulking plans for the beau-1 tilication of their home grounds, or for populating odd places with plants that have intrinsic beauty and value both as nut producers and for growing wood, he would do Well to give this tree con~ sidcration. The following is a letter from a grower in Michigan upon this subject: “A few days ago I received your letter asking about the growing of I‘lnglish walnuts in Michigan. I am satisfied that these tiles will mature, and bear fruit in this state. I have four trees that. are hearing now. They were on the farm when 1 hot it and I do not know their age, but I have 80 trees that are two years old and are from four to five feet high. I shall transplant them next spring and if nothing happens will have them bearing in four years more. The nuts are of fine of A. C. Pomeroy, of Niagara 00., N. Y. attendance, local fruit growers and gard— cncrs displayed an exhibit of fruit and vegetables that for quality and quantity, and arrangement of display would be difficult to duplicate without considering that the exhibits were, almost entirely from growers of the Niagara district. ’E'hcre was universal praise for it and the manner in which the varieties of the many fruits were studied and compared by the growers and professional men present was conclusive of its educational value. This was not all. Excursions taking the excursionists thru one of the richest f1uit sections of the continent were i-lanncd by the local organization with the intent of making them valuable from the standpoint of fruitmcn. And they were not disappointed. lu\e1v person who took advantage of the trolley rides along the different routcs and of the automobile trips came back enthusiastic over the district, its men and their orchards. In all, the meeting must be pronounced a grand success. The, influence of the ad- dresses given will he carried out. by the press to hundreds of thousands of read- ers, so that the ultimate influence of the sessions of this society on the fruit in- dustry will be immeasurable. \OCTOBER 2, 1909. Melancholy” and ' I Mental Doprossmn Also Known as Low Spirits and “The Blues,” Are Almost lnvariably Caused By Indigestion and Stomach Derangement. Chronic melancholy is a symptom fre- quently encountered in the victims of dyspepsia and indigestion. Defective blood nutrition or anaemia appears to be the physical state with which the great majority of cases of melancholy and men- tal depression are connected, and to which all modes of treatment are directed. Powerful and permanent and depressing moral and mental emotions act as effec- tively in arresting healthy digestion and alimentation as the eating of injudicious food, or the use of nourishment under circumstances such as the respiration of impure air, or indulgence in intcmperate tendencies, which render proper assimila- tion of food impossible. But while depressing mental emotions may cause disturbed digestion, on the other hand, dyspepsia may, in turn, cause mental depression, so that cause and effect may be transposed. Melancholy or “the blues”,should not be regarded as a. distinct and independent affection, as it is almost invariably traceable to and dependent upon, some disorder of the digestive system. The victims of this distressing condi- tion present not only the usual symptoms of indigestion or nervous dyspepsia, but: also a long train of symptoms of a pecu- liarly melancholic and morbid character, such as extreme increase of nerve-sensi- bility, palpitations, strange internal sen— sations, which simulate many other dis- eases, together with an exaggerated un- easiness and anxiety chiefly concerning the health. They imagine they have all the diseases known to Pathology, and are grcat pessimists, prone to look on the dark side of life. They are easily annoyed by small things, which if their health and digestion were good, would never bother them: and they feel constantly irritable, have dark forcbodings, ‘and fear the ap— proach of some, imaginary evil, impending disaster or calamity, if tln'y experience indigestion—pains in’ the heart region. they think it is heart tllSttlSt"; uneasiness in the chest lllt'allS (onsumption, while the various other fugi- tive aches and pains distributed over the system they imagine to be symptoms of some, fatal, organic disease. Every one of these morbid symptoms dlpend upon a. disturbed state of the digestion, and for the removal and cure cf this condition, there is no better rem- edy in existence than Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. ’l‘hey get right at the seat of the trouble, cure the dyspepsia, and re- move the, cause. Evcry particle of food in the stomach is thoroughly and properly digested, with the result that the blood, which owing to a long—continued indiges- tion. 111ai-absorption, mal—nutrition and mal-:1ssimilation of food. is in a thin, anaemic condition, is rapidly built up, and i11‘1prole in quality—Athis improve— ment progressing along with the increased power of the stomach to properly digest its food through the aid—giving and ton- ing—up properties of these powerful little digestive tablets; so that the melancholic and depressive symptoms disappear along with the dyspepsia. Don’t allow yourself to be overcome with “the blues,” but secure a box of Stuart‘s Dyspepsia Tablets at once from your druggist for 50 ccnts, and begin tak- ing them; also scnd us your name and address for free sample package.

The lecturer of one of the new Pomona Granges further asks: How many subjects are usually submit- ted for one program, and can you help me in the selection of these? Three subjects, chosen for their fitness for the occasion, are usually sufficient. In some Pomonas two topics will occupy the time, altho others handle even more than three. Keep in mind that the Po- mona exists to build up the Grange cauSe in the county and put as many things into our programs that will aid your subordinate Granges as you can without making it overbalanccd. Take up farm, home and public topics in a little broader way than in the local work. How am I to get the names of the dif- ferent members and know who are cap- able? The seeretary will furnish you with a. list of the names of members of Pomona and the Granges to which they belong, upon application. You will have to learn their various capabilities largely by ex- perimenting. Take some risks at the start in assigning topics. As you come in contact with members, listen to their conversation. draw them out as to their preferences and tastes and try them. Do not bc discouraged but persist until you find the place each will fit into. Grange work is more to draw out latent ability than to make fine displays on programs. altlio the Pomona program is not so much the place for practice work as is the. subordinate. If you ask lccturcrs of dif— ferent subordinate Grangcs to suggest helpers for your program you will prob- ably got hold of S‘illlO good material. A good way is to ask each lecturer to se— cui'c a ccrlain pzi rt for your program from his or her Grange. My ixpericncc lctids me to say that, when you have made all the assignments you think nccessary, even then it is best to carry two or three choice clippings in your bag for emergencies, also S'Hlli‘ questions for st question box and sonic bright quotations to pass about for response to roll call in case attendance is small and your plans full. Must I confine myself to Grange mem- bers from our own county? No. Occasionally some outside speaker makes a good Variation and broadens our views. It is wisc also to cultivate a feel- ing of reciprocity bclwccii Grangcs and the general public by this moans. but do not assign outsiders too much time for you will need most of it in which to do- Vclop your own people in speaking, writ— ing and discussion. is it customary for the lecturer to pro- parc something for the occasion? Strictly speaking, no. Yet sometimes the lecturer really has to prepare morn than anyone else for each program. for it is an advantage to know all you can about each subject presented, in order to give the person to whom it is assigned some material and suggestions, and to draw out profitable discussion upon it after it is presented. Study to introduce each subject and speaker in a few well- choscn words that will tend to call atten- tion to the relation of the one to the Grange and the fitness of the other for its presentation. Do not be long-drawn out, nor allow others to be if you can possibly help it- Is the lecturer supposed to bear the use of railroad fares and hotel bills, cxpe the home Grange defray the or does same? . .

All expenses of postage and printing of pro- ‘grams (if you print programs) are 'paid by the Pomona. It is better to raise the question and secure authority for print- ing the programs, however, before having it done. This avoids misunderstandings. JENNIE BUELL. A QUARTET OF NEW ‘GRANGES.

The Grosse Ile Club. The Grosse Ile Farmers” Club Fair was held on Labor Day as announced, and notwithstanding the proximity of the State Fair, which was in progress in De— troit, between three and four thousand people were present at the fourth annual fair held by the Grosse Ile Farmers' Club on that day. The day was ideal and the fair was an entire success from every standpoint. The members of this club have always been able to report that their fair was the superior of the state fair in some one respect at least, notwithstand- ing the fact that the club fair is always- lield on Labor Day which has for some years fallen inside the dates covered by the State Fair. This season it is the boast of the membership that in live stock lines, there was a larger exhibit of Guernsey cattle at this fair than were shown at the Stale Fair. This fact may be attributed to the work of the Club in the promotion and organization of a Guernsey breeders' association on the is- land by the members of the Club, thru the workings of which it is hoped within a few years to so promote this breed that all of the cattle kept on the island will be pure—bred individuals of this breed, making Grosse Ile really a second Guern- sey island in the importance of this in- dustry. The horse. racing was considered one of the best features of the day, nltho there were many other entertainmcnt fea- tures, including a baloou ascension and parachute drop. lotli the regular and special classes were well filled and the prizes were taken down by local exhibit- ors with products produccd on the island. Altogether the fair was such as to add another to the notable succcsscs of this Club, which are worthy of emulation by other club organizations tlii'uout the slate. Hickory Farmers’ Club.
