ful consideration by
both houses of the bills.

and resolutions propos- Farm
ed and referred to them
during the preceding ‘four weeks

marked the ﬁfth week of the legis-
lative session. V ‘

The activitity of the salons is in-
dicated by the fact that ninetydour
bills were introduced during the
-week——ton 'more ﬁian the total for
the ﬁrst four weeks. Members of the
lower house have introduced 131
mm; to date, while the more conser-
.vative members of the Senate have

’. ‘limited their proposals to 47.

The regular committees of both
houses have been giving careful at-
tention to the varidus measures re-
,ierre'd to them. Public hearings are
being held on the bills that have
aroused the greatest opposition.
Soms bills have already been report-

now up for general consideration by
_ths Committee of the Whole.

The institutional committees have
nearly completed their visits to the
various state institutions and are
now at work cutting ,to the bone the
appropriation requests that have
been presented to them. The liberal
use or the knife in handling appro-
priation-requests is necessitated by
the serious ﬁnancial condition of the
state. That the utmogt economy is
imperative is indicated by, the fact
that the total budget requests have
increased from 318.431.373.45 for
the biennial period 1917-19 to $58,-
304,103.11 for the two years 1921-

The program of reorganization of
the State's administration along the
lines proposed by Governor Groce-
bock and favored by the Staté Farm
Bureau bids fair to be realized by
this session of the legislature. Six
bills embodying nearly all of the
Governor’s suggestions have already
been. introduced. The bill providing
for a uniform system of auditing
claims against the state has already
passed the senate by a unanimous
vote and has been sent over to the
house for their action. The bill pro-

i

mlnistrative board, consisting of
seven elective oﬂlcers of the state,
was considerwa amended at a_joint'
meeting of the State Affairs Commit-
tees, of the two houses and as so
amended was favorably considered
by the Committee of the Whole of
the-Senate and is now up for third
reading by that body. The other
four bills which provide for the cre-
atioii of a State Industrial and Labor
Department, State Department of Ag-
riculture, Conservation Department,
and tor the transfer of vital statistics
from the Secretary of State's owes to
the ethos of the Commission of

committees in the. two houses.

When .1 as. Nicol was elected president over C.

a: The issue at stake was whether the Farm
Bureau should continue as in the past as “one
“big- farmers’ organization,” with a strong

‘ “centralgovernment having autocratic powerg
an

marketing departments, or whether this auth-

  ority should be decentralized and distributed

1. among" separately _ incorporated bodies organ-

ized along commodity lines and having repre-

 ‘Sentation in' the central body.

It wa the position of‘ Sec. Bingham, Vice-

-  Pres. Potts, B. A. Holden, chief. of the organ-

izing staff, and others, that the present plan
should -be continued. In his recommendations
.gupon the subject, Bingham declared that the
.Farm Bureau was never intended to be just
“another farm organization,” but the Farm:

 ,e‘rs’ organization of the state, free from en-

tanglements With other Organizations. ‘“ It is

right that the policyland program of work for

_th.e next two years be absolutely upon the

1 same general lines as that of the last two
years,” he said.

‘ But the majority of the executive commit-

tee thought differently and brought, out a re-

 v, ’ port which recommended in substance that the

opinions of the Tennant plan. He said, “All
commodity organizations have invariably
succeeded. Those managed from strong cent-
ral authority have invariably failed. All oth-
er states have either adopted ‘the Tennant
plan or are going to. -And I believe that the
future successful marketing organization ,Will
be effected along commodity lines. That is
distinctly the trend at the present time.”
Unfortunately the delegatespwere not per-

 

 the. endorsement of the county

 agents and had been ﬁnally ac-
cepted by the executive commit-
te‘c. o ,7
_ “Under this plan,” said Ten-
nantgdisrnssing it before the del-
egates. “there 'is no-possibility of
control from the top down. This
builds from the bottom up.”

"His arguments in favor of the

_ plan Were as follows:

1. All successful farm organiza-
tions of the United States are based
-on commodity lines.

2. Financial and other require-
ments of various cemmodity organ-
izations radically different. Tennant
- declared. it was absurd to expect beet

mitted to judge the
main issue upon its mer-
its. Various questionable methods were em—.
ployed to prejudice them. Charges and
counter-charges were whispered back and
forth involving some of the most responsible
men in the organization. Personalities were
indulged in and more than once it was rum-
ored that sensational disclosures would be
made which would force the resignation of
two or more individuals. Most of this talk
had about the same effect on the delegates as
rain on a duck’s back. Throughout the en-
tire convention they maintained a digniﬁed
composure and weighed the issue carefully
from all angles. That their ﬁnal decision was
the result of mature and unbiased judgment
none can deny. The Farm Bureau delegates
did not- approve the commodity organization
plan from prejudice or ignorance, but from
the sincere conviction that it is the best plan
)ior the organization to follow.

Farm Bureau Finances

Fred Van Norsdall of Three Rivers, treas-
urer, reported that the cash on. hand, Jan. 31,
1920 Was $2,145.95, with total receipts for the
year of $384,554.14, making a grand total of
$386,700.09. Total disbursements from Jan.
31, 1920 to Jan. 31, 1921 were $383,650.90,
leaving a balance Jan 31, 1921, of $3049.19.

terest in that institution. There was no lack
of interest on the part .of the ﬁve thousand or
:more people,.in the agricultural exhibits and
the various meetings that were held during
the week. ‘ ’

Every one of the twelve group meetings
were well attended and the programs were
ﬁlled with able speakers. The discussions
covered a wide range of farm topics includ—
ing soil surveys, muck land experiments,
crops, marketing, farm taxation and ﬁnance,
etc. . Many speakers were of national prom-
inence and came from long distances to talk
to the farmers of Michigan. Among them
were S. S.,McClure, publisher of McClure’s

Weekly, w h 0
gave a most in-
teresting review

of conditions in
Europe as ob-
served on a re-
cent trip through
that continent;
Chas. J. Brand
former chief of
the U. S. Bureau
of Markets, who
talked‘ on the
marketing prob-
lems ; A. F.
Lever, one of the
authors of the
Smith-Lever act;
Dean Davenport
the Illinois
College of Agri-
culture, and others of more or less promin-
once.

A feature ofthe week was the gigantic pa-
rade staged by the College in which practical-
ly every activity of the College was represent-
ed. The parade was led by the College band
'and military units. v

In line were also representatives from all
the students units, rough—clad foresters, girls
in athletic costumes, and young ladies from
the economics departments carrying signs il-
lustrating various points of interest in Farm:
crs’ W'eek exliibits. In the parade were also
“Michigan’s best” horses, cattle, sheep and
swine. These were followed ,in turns by
tractors, trucks and general farm machinery.
The pageant presented in its entirety a mag-
niﬁcent spectacle and revealed to, the visitors.
the many different activities in which the Col-
lege and extension departments are engaged.

grain exhibit ever held in Michigan was the

Rail Rates Burden Farmers

The general meetings of the week were
held in the Gymnasium, which was packed to
the doors each day. The principal tOpics of
discussion at these meetings had to do princi-
pally with the economic problems of agricul-
ture. . , , ~

Chas. J. Brand, former chief of the Bureau
of Markets, but now president of the North
American Fruit Exchange discussed the sub-
ject of marketing at considerable length, tell-
ing of the wastes that occur as the result of
improper packing of farm products, and of
the enormous burdens that had fallen upon
the agricultural industry as the result Of the
increased freight rates. Discussing the dif'
ference between land and ocean freight rates,
he said: “You can actually ship potatoes
from Scotland and Denmark, lemons from
Italy and othereproducts from foreign coun-
ries cheaper than you can move the same pro-
ducts from the producing sections to, their
natural markets.” Mr. Brand did not blame‘
the railroads entirely for the increase, point-

Sugar Beet Growers Reject
Manufacturers’ Contracts

' IVE HUNDRED delegates to the annual ‘

meeting of the Michigan Sugar Beet
Growers’ Ass ’n, unanimously rejected the
contract which had been prepared by the sug-
ar manufacturers for the 1921 season, and
voted for a contract on a higher basis, similar
to the one adopted by the growers of Color'
ado. The delegates also voted without a sin—
gle dissenting voice to retain it present enti-
ty, instead of surrendering its functions to
the Farm Bureau as some outside the grow-
ers’ organization had arguedshould be done.
The contract offered by the companies with-
out consulting the growers was substantially
the same as last year’s, except that the guar-
anteed minimum was reduced from $10 to $6,
this being based on 5 cent sugar. The sliding
scale arrangement would give the growers. $10

.on 9 cent sugar, as shown below: ‘

These growers ta'cxled their county agent
ﬁrst of all. He tackled the State Bureau of
-Markets; and together they moved the apples
straight from the orchards to apple sauce,
with the aid of women’s clubs, civic leagues,
and chambers of commerce. The cities of
'Passaic, Paterson, South ' Orange, ‘ Newark,
Elizabeth and Jersey City were beneﬁtted by
this direct marketing. .

One of the men who had a lot to do with
this marketing stunt, A. L. Clark, chief of
the State Bureau of Markets, told of the work
as follows, .and the story is disclosed through
the New Jersey Experiment Station:

“Last August we began to notify the dis-
trict vice-presidents of the federation of wom-
en’s clubs and the district home ‘
chairmen through the state chairman of home
economics, of the heavy crop of apples ma.-
turing and the need of clear channels of dis-
tribution from producers to consumers.

The New Jersey consumer new huys these direct from the grower.

Through the use of weekly reports which.
these same women sent in to us we were able
to show the organized women of the state the
tremendous “spreads” made by retailers. In
August, for instance, prices of apples showed
over 100 per cent “spread” between the
wholesale and retail prices.

“It was not long before some of the wom~

en’s clubs asked why they could not buy these

apples direct from the growers at
wholesale prices. Arrangements

or quit raising the crop. The ﬁrst
eOurse is the one that fruit grow:

took last fall. They couldn’t take

 already grown and ready to har-

vest. They had to get rid of the

' ' anything against him, but because

their crop was large and the price

the growers. As a result practic.
ally 6,000 bushels of apples have
been hauled by motor truck from
\Varren county to Jersey City, Pat-
erson, Passaic, and other cities
around that section. These apples
have netth the grower from ninety

with, but the farmers are not asked to sell
their products to the many at prices less than

The facts of the matter appear to be that
the milk supply of the city of Detroit is under
a monopolistic control which dictates the pric—
cs to producers and consumer alike. Through
its milk stations in widely scattered sections
and its holdings in condensaries, drying
plants, etc., it is able within short .periods- of
time to create a surplus or shortage as best
suits its fancies; through its political influ—
ence in DetroTt and its banking and inewspap'a

front to any organized opposition on the part
of the consumer. In short, it holds the whip

were; running a featherduster factory. in,

Iowa we believed in making use of the best
equipment obtainable for the purpose. We
“did not attempt to operate a modern factory
in delapidated buildings with outjof-date ma-
chinery. It is to the point of this article to
state that we made a success of that busmess
to the extent that when we decided to live in
Colorado on account of the climate, we were
able to dispose, of the factory at a good ﬁg-
ure. To the success of this business we owed
our abilitv to purchase and equip a farm of
178 acres-in the fertile Greely district of Col-
orado.

This farm at the time of purchase was
somewhat run—down, with no improvements,
Straw—thatched sheds for barns, and the land
far below 100 per cent efﬁcient. Had we 1n-
tcnded running the place as our predecessor
had done, the purchase price alone would
have been too much to invest in it. But we
believed, judging from our business experi-
ence and the advice of well-to-do farmers in
the district, that with proper handling and
equipment the farm could be made to pay.
Far from regretting the undertaking we have
been well satisﬁed with it as a business ven-
ture.

For four years we have given this farm as
studied and critical attention as we ever gave
the factory, sparing no expense to make It
thoroughly systematic and economically efﬁc—
ient. Perhaps had we been brought up on a
farm, or had farm experience, we might have
become accustomed to certain economies and
make-shifts until we took them for granted;
at any rate we should probably have been
slower to make a sweeping change from the
old to the new where it involved great ex-
pense. But the whole propositiOn being a
new problem we were compelled to cons1der
each item from the standpoint of business ef-
ﬁciency; and in nearly every case decided in
favor of the highest degree of improvement.

During the time we have had this farm we
have built two six-roomed tenant houses, one
barn, two hollow-tiled silos, feeding sheds for
cows, steers, sheep, and hogs, an up-to-date
poultry house; and have installed a system' of
electrically propelled machinery for pumpmg
and supplying of water and for cutting 'and
grindng of feeg This power is obtained
from a local power company through our own
transformer. The electric current also makes
it possible to ﬁll silos at any time and to get a
'good grade of ensilage by running a hose over
the top of the silo with force connections for
;wetting dOWn the ensilage as it goes into the
i(silo.

 

I
A Feed Cutter, an Electric Englne and Molasses Wagon are
part of OUI‘ modern equlpment. '

. Stock water at the barn is drawn from a
well by an electrically driven pump 300 feet
from the supply tank or reservoir. This tank
is 16 feet long, 4 feetwide and 5 feet deep,
made of concrete and covered so'that the sup-
ply of water is kept cool in summer and above
freezing in winter. It is so built as to sup-
ply all water through troughs by automatic
floats, obviating the possibility of attendants
forgetting to turn on the water when the
stock need it. An ample trough is placed. in
each feeding pen which is always full up to a
certain level. All animals that require water
to help‘produce fat get it automatically by
these float valves.
'up in the center of a circular tank used in the
fat-cattle feeding pen and the water above
this inlet never freezes. Tank heaters are
used, however, to raise the temperature to
such a degree that stock will take large quan-
tities of water even in cold weather.

In the fat-cattle yard we use a feeding
bunk 64 feet long, surrounded by a concrete
platform 5 feet wide, on which the cattle
stand clear of mud or water in wet weather.
The top of the bunk is two feet above the
platform and will accomodate 80 cattle.

while the or 5‘} _,
work of the farm is carried. on; that is, so
that the shortest possible time will be consult;
ed in doing chores. This structure is 40 feet" 
by 60 feet, with a ten foot concrete basement;
a ten-foot studding, 40 feet from the base?
ment floor to the peak of- the trussed r‘é!0f.,-f1
This basement room is used for feeding stock;
and has a floor of natural sandstone  
serves as well as concrete and saved a great, :
expense. All above the ground, floor is hay: .
mow which has a capacity of 150 tons of hay

after being run through the feed cutter.

Our two silos with combined capacity of” 

 tons, are built in a direct line with the
imam entrance of the barn, the purpose of this: .

location being that we might use a time and: ‘ '

labor-saver in the form of a truck running on, ‘
track through the barn, between the silos, 
and to the feeding bunk outside. A housed
alley-way six feet six "inches in height covers ‘_
the track through the barn. The top is sealed}.
the sides made entirely of WOVen-wire doors,"
4 doors to each 8 foot section of track, there
being a double row of doors on each side, one
row above and one row below, removing the
necessity of carrying or lifting feed to the
track. The truck is emptied by means of 
pair of doors at the bottom operated by a’
crank at "one end so that ,the load drops to the
iceging bunks without being handled with. ‘
or s.

We keep a few horses to distribute bedding
and for some hauling, the farm being supplied
with two light cars, one auto truck, and also
a tank for hauling molasses—a residue unﬁt‘
for domestic use—from the sugar factory, for.
use in fegding cattle. An electric engine,
feed cutter, with carrier to hay mow, complete;-
our modern equipment at the present time ;'
but we expectto ‘add to it regularly as the;
market‘ provides and our needs require. For"
by this method we have put this farm On 
paying basis, marketing yearly 80 to 100 beeﬁ
cattle, 200 sheep, 50 to 100 hogs and several
hundred chickens, all of pure bred' stock, the
work being done by two men. . .

Our hay mow is ﬁlled twice with one year’s,
crop from 60 acres of alfalfa; the silos are.
ﬁlled twice from 30 acres of corn; 20 acres
are put in sugar beets; 12 acres in potatoes 3:
33 acres in small grain, 23 acres being left for .~
pasture. Our farm .policy is to raise on the
land the. bulk of the feed required during the,
year, turning off the sugar beets» and potatoes.
against what we have to buy, thus making
us approximately independent of the ,fluctu4'
ations of feed prices.

Special Demonstrations

Lastwinter at the Detroit live stock yards
a. band of co-operative .live stock shippers
and their agents came together for the purpose
of studying marketing methods, grades of
.live stock , and instructions to follow when
shipping live animals to market. At this
meeting the ofﬁcials of the Dgtroit stock yards
produced facts and ﬁgures showing the tre—
mendous losses sustained by shippers during
the past year. In connection with these re-
ports- it Was shown that .in nearly every case

it was not an unmixed  {tapas
pension of bmess operations and
general. industrial inactivity, reduce
the demands for money, it is not
hard to undeer that the W
applies when a general business and
industrial resumption takes place.

There isranotiher aspect of the sit-
uation which greatly oompliates the

money problem at this time and the ‘

bankers of the country are up against
conditions entirely beyond their con-
trol but which make it very diﬁoult
to satisfy all of their customers and,
at the same time, do what they deem
best- for the maximal; large. It is
evident that the same reason that de-
terred manufacturers and business
men from making large purchases of
supplies, on a declining market, is
"urging them into the market with
large, orders at this time, in the be-
lief that liquidation has run its
course and that any future price
changes will be toward higher levels.
It will easily be seen, then, that curb
rent demands for capital with which
to do business are much larger’ than
they will be when the products of

manufacture reach the consumer and _

the purchase price gets back into the
hands of the maker. The present
extreme scarcity of money is evidenc-
ed by a recent. sharp increase in call
‘money rates on the New York Stock
Exchange and the extricate conscr-
valism of bankers with relation to
real estate mortgages and long-time
loans of all kinds.

Considerable space has been taken
in the newspapers of the country, of
late, to detail the need of more work-
ingnnen’s homes and to the criticism
of the. banking interests because they
have refused to ﬁnance home-build-
ing undertakings at this time. Be-
plying to the criticisms referred to,
some of the leading bankers have
explained the present situation giv-

ing, in substance, the details printed,

above concerning the present indus-
trial demand for funds and, in the
most courteous manner

with them until they have takeIf care
of the industrial situation and again,
have at their disposal, a surplus for
long-time loans and mortgage in-
vestment. There are those among us
who seem to think that bankers have
at their disposal, at all times, un-
limited funds and that they are fol-
lowing stubborn impulsesnvhcn they
decline to grant certain loans; banks
are not different from individuals in
the fact, that when they have mon-
ey ey can loan it but when they

have. it not, they must refuse the ac--

commodation. Investigation reveals
the fact that the public at large is
depositing less money with the
banks ,at this time than for many
years. 4‘

Wheat has suffered a very active

caused markets to open" strong

but Greece was conspicuous for
her absence and markets lost

Northwestern houses were
which helped strengthen this coarse
grain considerable. Last week’s
closing strength appeared at the
opening of the market the current
week at Chicago but soon dispersed.
The Detroit market closed on Mon—
day of the present'week with ﬁrices
at the same level as last Saturday’s
close and there was a strong steady
tone to the'market.. Every week

last Monday and Saturday estimate
was 55,000 hogs but this guess was
exceeded by 14,000 hogs whenlhe

tight money conditions. The demand
for fresh pork and its products is

this fact, the volume of consumption .
is held down by the lack of employ-

V'SU'ING- FOR PAYMENT, OF NOTE

About three years
and mySelf signed another neighbor's
note. When this note came due we re-
newed» it for 90 days. Shortly after
that. the other signer died leaving his
propertre to, his wife by a Joint deed.
When the note came due the wife, would
not sign it and went to a lawyer and
was told that she would not have to

ago a. neighbor

pay if she" did not sign, So I. took the

note to the bank and told them she
They said to never
mind but for me to sign it and let it
go. They said that‘if they did have to
sue for payment of the note that her
estate would be holding. Now the man
we signed with will not do anything,
not even answer the notices sent him
by the bank and the bankers say they
will have to sue me for the note? Now
what I would like to know is if the
wife of ,the deceased endorser is free?
She has no heirs—From a Clare coun-
ty Subscriber, Harrison, Mich,

If the estate by, entirety (joint
ownership by husband and wife) was
created before the endorsement of

the note,'the property that went to,

the wife would not be liable for his
debts. However if he left any per-
sonal estate, or if the estate by the
entirety was created af-ter' signing
the note it might be made liable. This
would be affected, by the renewal of
the note and the extension of time
so it would be quite important to
know all thefa-cts- and advisable to
consult local counsel. Under no
,circumstances would the wife nor
her individual property be liable for
the husband.—'W. E.
Brown, legal editor. »—

PRESERVING FENCE POSTS

Fence posts are scarce in my section
of the country and I woud like to know
if there is any preservative we can ufe
on maple, beech and hemlock posts 0
make them last longer7—W. H. R. and
Sons, Benzie County, Michigan.

The best preservative for fence
posts is coal tar creosote. Such
treatment will practically double the
life of non—durable woods. The cre-
osote should be applied warm, either
with a brush or by dipping. It is
not. necessary to treat the entire post
but only that part which goes into
the ground, or if brush treatment is
used a band may be painted for
starting
a little above and extending below
the point of contact wit-h the soil.
Coal tar creosote can ordinarily be
obtained through a lumber dealer or
hardware company. The wood.
should be seasoned before treatment
so as to allow of the penetration of
the creosote—A. E. Chittenden, Pro-
fessor of Forestry, M. A. 0'.

-_CLOSING ROAD -

A club of members owns a large tract
of land which is fenced by posts and two
strands of wire,- and signs posted, "club
grounds, no hunting, keep off." The
government has nine forties of land in-
side this club ground that have been
fenced with posts with no wire and
most of the posts are burnt off. There
are old roads going through these lands
which have been traveled by the public
for the last thirty years. Has a hunter
3. right to hunt on the roads, and are
the fences lawful to keep hunters from
trespassing? Has the club a right to
put a gate across one of the roads and‘
lock it? Our rurcl mail carrier carries
the mail over this road daily. This road
is not acpublic road—G. W B., Hill-
man. Michigan_

The fencing in of government land
with the club land is a matter that
only the government can complain
of: The roads described may or may

not be lawfully established roads. If ,

they are lawfully established roads,
by user or 'otherwise, they could be
cloSed to any one who desires to use
them, but if they have not become
lawfully established roads by user or
otherwise; the owner of the adja-
cent premises would have the right
to close them. If the premises are
posted I think the fence-you describe
is suﬂlcient to make them enclosed
land, as requiredby the statute and
one would not'have the right. to‘ hunt
thereon;—1W. E. Brown, ,legol editor.

,, FALSE REPRESENTATIONS
I would like to know if anything can

be done with a stock salesman for mis— .

representing stock to make a sale. It
looks to me like getting money under
false pretenses. Am I right?——M. S.,
Montcalm County, Michigan.

Your letter does-‘not designate
whether, you mean a salesman of the
capital stock of some company or
stock meaning animals. The sales-
man in either case would be liable
for false representations but you
would handle a salesman of the cap-
.ital stock' of a company different
than you would a salesman of ani-
mals (stock). Before one can offer
stock of a company for sale in this
state permission must be obtained
from the securities commission and
misrepresentations would have oer-
tain penalties attached.
animals he misrepresented he would
be personally liable for the breach
of the representations and also his
employer would be liable if he .was
an agent—W. E. Brown, legal editor.

terested—Associate Editor.

SHOOTING DOG
I have a dog and my neighbors tell
me if my dog comes on their farm they
will shoot him, Have they the right to
do so?—W. L. Chesaning, Mich.

' There is such a law but some time
ago I prepared an opinion in the M.
B, F. that it was unconstitutional. I
believe that one who thus killed a
valuable dog merely because he came
onto his premises would be liable for
the damage notwithstanding the
statute—W. E. Brown, legal editor.

. A Matter of Opinion .

AST JULY 1 received a letter from Carl

F. Braun, vice-president of the .Ann Ar-
bor Savings Bank. It was a. vicious thing. It
charged The Business Farmer With capitaliz‘
ng the discontent among farmers (for the
purpose of selling papers), and with having a
tendency to spread Bolshevistic ideas.

I intended to publish and answer the letter
at once, but something held my hand. I did

>t want to do Mr. Braun an injustice, or in—
jure him and his business in the sight of tho
farmers of Washtcnaw county. So I tried to
grct his point of view. I tried to put myself
in his place and take an unbiased survey of
the agricultural situation. I tried to put my-

lf on a pinnacle that I might look out over
the great agricultural areas,—east,.west, north
and south, where ‘men and womenwere toil-
ing in the ﬁelds beneath a, blistering sun, cul-
iivutlng or gathering crops from which'thcy
hoped to secure a year’s living. I looked
down upon the groups of farmers who were
met here and there to discuss their problems
and effect co—opcrativc
might solve them“ I saw earnest men and
women everywhere urging action but caution‘
ing tcnmcratcness and common sense. Nowhere
(lid I hear a, suggestion of violence, radicalism,
socialism, BolsheVism, or any other ism, except
unadulterated Americanism.

And I asked~ myself if Mr. Braun was right.
\Vcre all these people and the farm papers
which sought to play tho part of Moses to lead
them out. of the Wilderness a menace to the
country? Was it true that they were seeking
something which did not belong to them, and
that in the heat of their discussions they might
‘bcat their plough-shares into swords and arise
to destroy government and do violence to their
mighbors?

But coming a little closer I looked into the
windows of the farm homes. Some of thcm
were as comfortably appointed as the business
’ nmn’s home in the city. In many thcne were
modern home conveniences, but with no ap-
Iwzu‘ancv of case or luxury. , In the vast ma-
jority of them families still lived under the
some hard conditions as prevailed a quarter
ol‘ a century ago. No clcctric lights, no bath:
:room> no‘running watcr,ho furnace. Nothing
lint the most meagre necessities of. life. Yet
. despite all this I observed children happily ’at
play. I saw farmers reading their papers by
“the dim light of lamps. I saw farm Wives
rocking cOntcntcdly back and. forth humming
a little song to the tune of their knitting. And‘

 

 

 

 

I knew that the seeds of hate and violence"

could noch bc planted in the hearts of these
people. Mr. Brnun. was wrung. His cOncep-
tion of representative {arm paper: and

prejudice. But read his better: . l A ‘ .

I will not discussgthe reference which Mr.
Brown makes to Our alleged championship of

bear in mind that this letter was written last
July during the very crest of the most prospcr-
ous period through which agriculture had
passed during the last two decades. That sit-

or any other individual. As the reader knows,
moreover, we have condemned Mr. Wilson at
times as fluently as we ever praised him.

Mr. Braun’s reference to Bolshevism is.
amusing. It is also insulting. It gives the
farmers no credit for having any brains or
balance of their own. The truth of the matter
is that Mr. Braun as well as most of the other
bankers of the country have become hypno—
tized by that cobra-headed menace that has
lain Wast to Russia, and some times forget
that this is the United States of America. In
their hypnotic state every movement toward not learned that “he proﬁts‘most who serves
organization among farmers and laboring men best,” are always looking for ulterior motives
appears to bear the car-marks of soveitism.
As a result they look with suspicion on any‘
clTorts that are calculated to change the ex-,
isting. order. p .

Mr. Braun acknowledges that discontent
does and should prevail among the farmers.
But there is this difference between our critic
and the Business Farmer. He would sit still
and twiddle his thumbs hoping that kind prov-
idence will come along and make everything
right, while the Business Farmer would put
its thumbs to work, knowing that the Lord
helps those Who helps themselves. If the dis‘
content among the farmers cannot be cured in
“our way”, we challenge Mr. Broun to dis-
cover and present through these columns a
way it which it can be cured.

’ Another Successful Farmer’s Week
’ ARMER’S WEEK at the  A. C. has
fully and deﬁnitely “arrived.” The
crowds of farmers who thronged the campus
last week is proof conclusive that the College

has succeeded in “selling” itself to the farmw

ers. And how has it done this? By simply
encouraging the organized farmers to hold
their annual gatherings within its portals.
In former days the Farmer’s Week program
was largely College made, and dry as straw.
Speakers spoke at learned lengths upon the
scientiﬁc aspects of production problems. "A
few farmers straggled in from adgoming
counties, nodded through the" programs and
went back home. And the next year another
group of farmers did the same thing. But
when the College began to look With a little
sympathy upon marketing problems and
«urged the business farmers to thrash them out
,upon the campus, Farmer’s'Week thereafter
became galvanized ,into action. _So it has
been ever since, and so ay'it continue. The
College is the logical p. so for the organized
farmers to. meet and discuss both production
and business problems. _ Contact with Col-
lege influences broadens their views, and con-
tact. with the farmer’s views broadens the
views of the College faculty. The beneﬁt is
mutual. It means better farmers and a bet‘
‘ ter College.

~ Rural 'Credﬂs
ENATOR KENYON of Iowa has intro-
-, duced in Congress a bill to establish a
rural credit system to standardize productive
farm credit paper in the open market. This
is an almost exact duplicate of the McFadden
.bill which has been discussed at length in
these columns.
rlihe bill creates two corporations by special
charters, namely, a rural credit society and
general insurance league. The credit society
.will consist of one central bank with 25 mil-

lion capital to be furnished by the government -

without interest, which will be retired by a
sinking fund created by the bill. The credit
society will also consist of 48 branches, one
for each state, with 50 thousand capital each
to be furnished by the insurance company ac-
cepting the Federal charter created by the bill.
This stock will be paid a 6 per cent cumulative
dividend and become a guaranty against the
loss of the Government’s capital. -Any num,
ber of community associations or 'Combines
may be organized by farmers with not less
than seven members each. This community
stock will be owned by farmer members and
divided into shares of $5 each.

Three commissioners are to be appomted by-

the Secretary of Agriculture to negotiate
with one of the large life insurance compan-
ies for the purpose of inducing it to accept
such Federal charter in lieu of its state char-
ter and make an investment in the credit so-
ciety aggregating $7,200,000 and choose the
credit society’s auditor and deputy auditors.
The fact that the capital of such an insur-
ance company becomes a guarantor of every
piece of that rural credit paper and the in-
surance company is placed in a position to ac-
quire information as to the conduct of the
credit society’s business is bound to inspire
the conﬁdence of investors in such paper. ,

At present our deposit banks are .so loaded
down with frozen assets'that they are power—
less'toﬁnance the export. of our surplus crops
to countries whose people will strive without
them. One cause for such condition is the
effort of many banks to ﬁnance agricultural
production, a class of business they found dif-
ﬁculty in handling, as the time required for
such credit'to reproduce itself is too long for
a deposit bank to attempt todo. But the
proposed credit society could safely do such
business, as its borrowed capital would be
raised in the open market and payable at ﬁx-
ed dates in the future. In this way the pro-
posed credit system would beneﬁt our whole
credit system, and no class suffers more than
the farmer under a weak commercial credit
system. -

These reports should, however, be taken

Their purchasing power has been destroyed. 
Now it is absurd to think that the farmers
can be deprived of six billion dollars, and the
laborer of a billion or so dollars without hav-
ing more than a passing effect upon industry.
Industry cannot recover wholly from this
blow in two months, nor six months, nor
twelve months. It may recover in part and
limp around for a while on one foot, but it’s.
going to take some time to get the other foot

of the auto show are justiﬁed, but the facts are
opposed to permanent improvement at this
time.

Lincoln

ONE HUNDRED and twelve years ago to-
day a man was born in a little log cabin
in Kentucky, whose name was Abraham Lin-
coln. God had marked the man to become a
leader of men and to guide a great nation
safely through one of its worst crises. Each
year we do homage to this man, about the
table, in the churches, legislative halls and all
else where men revere the name of the Emam '
(:ipator. In every period of distress which"
has visited the United States since the-death,
of Lincoln, there have been those to cry, “01!,
for another Lincoln.” Never in the history
of the world has there been so great a need '
for “another Lincoln,” as exists today. BM
he probably will not be found. There are ‘5
probably many men in this country who have
the inherent qualities of leadership which

. Lincoln possessed, but they will never submit

to the 20th century political dictation which
makes slaves of our public men. What the na'
tion needs more than a second Lincoln is a bet-
ter appreciation of the qualities which made» _-
Lincoln what he was. Simplicity, honesty of
purpose,~fehrlessness, a passionate love for the
right,———were qualities of character which car:

PARTNERS, THE FARMER AND
‘ HIS CHILDREN
By Geo. VonTungelen
ATIONS stake .their highest
hopes on their property holders.
It is ownership that stabilizes
man and gives him a more rational
determination. Men are not made all
at once; they are developed and so
are farmers. So if we have the best
type of farmers we must begin early
in the life of those who will probab-
ly always be our chief source of sup-
ply for farmers, our farm boys and
girls, to develop in them a love for
farming that surpasses all love for
any other vocation. To accomplish
this some way must be found and
practiced that will prevent these boys
and girls from becoming dissatisﬁed
with farm life to the extent that
they make themselves believe that
they would like some other vocation
better. The writer believes that a
share in the ownership of the farm
with its concurrent responsibilities
and opportunities will accomplish
this end as nothing else can. This
of course does not mean that the
writer thinks that all farm boys and
girls should, or even could, be kept
on the farm. He is interested only
in keeping such boys and girls on
the farm as have convinced them
selves that they like farming above
all other vocations, after the farm
-an-d farm life have had a fair chance
to make good to them. Anything
less than a share in the ownership
with its concurrent responsibilities
and opportunities would not give
farming, as a' vocation. a fair chance
to make good with these boys and
girls. if the acquiring characteristic
in man is innate. as the writer be-
lieves it to be. '

Such ownership and partnership,
accompanied as they are by the in—
delible lessons of experience, produce
in the youth mature judgment and
the true value of both time and mon-
ey. The thoughtless and impatient
l. youth of today is woefully lacking in
"both; Furthermore, the
I ,V’satis'faction of ownership is a strong
" force in the building of a character
and a sense of obligation. The fath-
er whose son has a ﬁnancial interest
in the stock on the farm is not like-
ly to have the same difﬁculty in get-
V-Mting that son to. help care for that
stock as is the father whose son is
«‘not apart owner. of the stock on the
faim. The former is mere likely.
to be ’at home at feeding time than
the latter. Or, if he cannot be at
home at feeding time, he will make
sure‘that the stock will be looked
after; the, other son is not so likely
,to baconcerned about the stock eith-
erfbé-fore er after feeding time. 7

Went on to explain how much the
boy had “picked up” as he put it,
“about hogs and their care thru this
experience.”

When it came time to sell the hogs
the boy’s hog was also sold. The
father then sold the boy a very ﬁne
Shorthorn heifer and took the boy’s
note for the difference between the
selling price of the hog and the heif—
er. 'The boy was soon able to pay
off his note from the sale of the heif-
er’s ﬁrst calf and had some money
left. The later calves he kept' or sold
as he saw ﬁt. In this way he soon
became one-half owner of the herd
on the farm. He and his father are
new partners and are recognized in
their community as the community’s
best and happiest farmers. This
father lost nothing and gained much
by taking his boy into partnership
early in the game.

 

MICHIGAN’S ORCHESTRA

HE, DETROIT Symphony Orches-

tra composed of about ninety

men and two women (harpists) is
now in it’s seven season and has met
with marked success sinCe Oss-ip
Gabrilowitch (who by the way mar-
ried Mark Twain’s .daughter) has
been its conductor, that is for the
last four years. He is a Russian by
birth and is an artist pianist of world
wide reputation. .

The orchestra has grOWn steadily
in ﬁnish and execution under his di-

rection and to-day is classed with

the New York and Beston Symphon-
ies and Fred Stock’s Orchestr of

" time for building». ,

Children need a variety of grow-
ing materials and they‘must all be
supplied if every child is to be a
strong, healthy man or woman.

How much milk should children
have? Every child must have at
least one pint of milk a day to sup-
ply material for goo-d bones and
teeth. _‘

Every child ought to have at least
one quart of milk a day because'it
is so easily built up into body tissue.

What is its value for adults?

It is an excellent food for adults.
It might take the place of some meat.

At least a cup of milk per adult
per day should be used in the food
or taken as a beverage.

The food value of the milk is the
same whether the milk is taken in
cooked foods or as a beverage.

What is the food value of coffee
or tea?

Coffee and'tea have no food value.

Are they harmful?

They are harmful for. growing
children because they dull the ap-
petite so that the children feel sat-
isﬁed before all the necessary grow-
ing material has been supplied.—

the potato is possessed of much high-

supposed and that one pound of bak-

last two or three years?

It is quite certain that the men -

rest on Sunday—and eat—and the
women who cook the big Sunday
dinners do not get much rest until
they learn how to take the “short
cuts” that save unnecessary work in
hot kitchens. One of the most im-
portant of these “short cuts” is the
new method of dessert making. In
place of the heavy puddings and pies

which have always accompanied the

big Sunday dinners, fruity

 

desserts are served—desserts that
are sparkling and beautiful and de-
hc10us beyond comparison.

These Jell-O desserts which ‘just
ﬁt the Sunday appetite are made by.
dissolving Jell-O in boiling water.
It is done in a minute, and adds a
good many minutes to woman’s
share of Sunday rest.

There are six ﬂavors of Jell-O:
Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon,
Orange, Cherry, Chocolate, 2 pack-

My at the school Uncle Ned went to.

We made most out our valentines as ,
those'eold at stores cost so much
 and we would be making them for
 or four weeks before Valium-
tine Day. Then in the morning of
this day the teacher would set a
large box by her desk and each
scholar would put their valentines in
this box. The box set there all day
so anyone having more valentines
could put them there and few of
us had our lessons that day because
we were thinking about that box set-
ting up there and wondering how
'm‘auy valentines we were going to
‘get and who they would be from.
After school had been called to or-
' (for after the last recess the teacher

:m-ld tell us to put our book aside
» and the valentine box would be open-
' ed. Teacher would choose two or
' three boys and girls to pass out the
valentines as the names were read
on. After they were all given out
teacher would close school telling
" us we could go home early that night.

spread from one club to another,
and now various municipalities, fact-
ories, and other organizations are
carrying out the idea. The Jersey
City Chamber of Commerce, for in-
stance, has handled nearly H.000
bushels. Of course there have been
some difﬁculties in the way where
municipalities have handled a good

deal, and. there have been some in- ,

stances of heavy shortage reported.
There have been some attempts. by
hucksters and store keepers to out

“After getting rid of most Of'the
summer and fall- varieties this, trade
has shown a desire for the winter

bushel baskets. We know of' or-
ders for single car lots, and some
orders for two, three or four car_
lots are now being made up by these
various groups of consumers.”

Apple growers and apple eaters
.know each other’s problems a. great
deal better as a result of thig marl
keting venture. The chief of the
State Bureau of Markets rises to re-
mark that the consumer who wants'

arily per-form, such as accepting

Leach Art Company was advised ﬁnd

selling plan under which the trade

'check or coupon 'is given is legal and

is not subject to the attack as indi-

“About two years ago the question '

of the legality of this selling plan

was raised in one of. the counties in

central Michigan and I personally

made a trip there and took the mat-

ter up with the State's Attorney. AJf- ‘
ter a conference and explanation of

the details of the method, the State’s

Attorney agreed with us that
method was not illegal and with-

drew any further objection to our

proceeding to -use such method. 7

 '-come,"_ he said when every
{Ime would,“ obliged to pay a
certain amount every year upon the
principal of his mortgage. As it is
now most farmers simply pay the in-
terest and never think of retiring
‘the principal. Another point upou
which Mr} Locke'seemed to be es-
pecially well versed was the subject
of production. He urged that
was economically nsound for farm-
ers to cut. down reduction even in
the face of diminishing returns.

Some 'of these remarks stirred up
a. hornet’s nest. 'It is not true that
prices. of farm products advanced
more than prices of other commodi-
ties or even nearly as much. It is

not true that farmers madé enor-r

mous Proﬁts during the war. Neith-
er is it true that the average farmer
fails to pay upon the principal of his
mortgage when he can spare the
money. Again, it is not true that
farmers are speculating upon their
crops. The farmers in the audience,
realizing the unfairness of many of
the speaker’s remarks, naturally re-
sented them, and there were many
to act as voluntary spokesmen to re-
fute the arguments. Jas. McBride,

former market director, was the ﬁrst

upon his feet to challenge the state-
ments.
were not proceeding from the wrong
end. He said, “Your factories have
closed down throwing men out of
work, and depriving us farmers of
a large market. Now the reason
farmers are not selling their crops
faster is because there is not 3. mar—
ket for the crops. You start up the
factories and get us a market for the
crops and we’ll sell them.”

A.’ M. Smith, president of the Mich-
igan Potato Growers‘ Ass’n, said to
the speaker: “You advocate increas-
ed production when [there is already
an over-production. Is that sound
business? Do the manufacturers
proceed on that theory? Why is it,
that the factories are closed dowu if
it isn’t because there is no market
for their goods. Aren’t they curtailn
ing production? Aren’t they doing
the very thing you state we farmers
should not do?” ‘

It was clear that the speaker did
not have a very clear grasp of his

subject for he was unable to answer-

the questions ﬁred at him. His
mental attitude showed a woeful lack
of information of the agricultural
situation. No doubt he actually be-
lieved all he said about the farmers
making “enormous profits,” etc. If
this is a. sample of the general ignor-
ance of city folks upon such matters
it is high-time to clear away the mis-
‘understanding.
Lever Mnkes Hit

V Former Congressman A. F. Lever
was one speaker who knew the farm—
ing game from start to ﬁnish. He
was able to tell. what its advantages
are, and he is familiar with its prob-
‘lem, and he wasn’t afraid to speak
right out in meeting what he thought
about those problems and, how they
might be solved. The burden of his
remarks were “make farming as
proﬁtable as other lines of industry.”
He did not blame the boys for going
to thecities from the farms. He
wondered why more of them did not
go. Because'the city afforded more
pleasures, money and allurements for
young people. A portion of his re-
marks will be published in next
week’s issue.

. The terms under which the grow-

coming, season were originally sug-
gested by the growers of Colorado.
This contract was. also approved by
representatives ,‘of the National Beet
Growers’ Association; at, its recent
meeting in Chicago. The contract is
as follows: ’ ' .- , --
 “The price,per net ton of beets shall be based

on _tho average seaboard net price of beet sugar

One of the important suggestions

made at the meeting came from Jas.
N. McBride who wanted the conven-
tion to recommend that the public
utilities commission be made a. court
of business relations to investigate
costs of producing beets and of man-
ufacturing them into sugar. Were
it not for the fact that the personnel
of this commission is composed of
men who might not be able to render
an unbiased judgment upon such an
important matter, we feel that the
suggestion was well timed, and we
know of no reason why the growers
should not embrace some such an
idea. From present indications the
growers will have to accept from $6
to $8 for their beets this year, and it
could be easily shown that the cost
will far exceed that ﬁgure. The de-

m .
'time to‘time as the not selling price of In“!

 

cline in sugar prices is almost wholly ,

a growers’ loss, and this fact should
be explained to the public at large.
Perhaps in no better way could the
manufacturers be induced to give the
farmers a fair contract than by the
threat of ofﬁcial investigation of
their costs and proﬁts.

To Appoint National Organizer

It appeared at the Chicago meet-
ing of the national beet growers that
Michigan was the only state in the
union with a strong enough organ—
ization to take the lead in cementing

the beet growers of the entire United ‘ '

States into a great national associa-
tion. The Michigan organization
will, therefore, take up this task, and
it has been decided to engage a prac-
tical beet grower who has had some
experience to assist the growers in

other large beet growing states to

organize. It is stated that Mr. T. C.
Price of Saginaw county will be se-
lected for this job. Mr. Price is an
actual beet farmer, a good talker
and was active in organizing the
Michigan Beet Growers’ Association.

Ofﬁcers Re-elected

After voting to support the Am—i
erican Farm Bureau Federation pro- ‘
gram, the beet growers re-elected the ‘

following ofﬁcers: President, John F.
Ketcham, Hastings; secretary-treas-
urer, R. P. Reavey, Caro; general
manager, C. E. Ackerman, Durand;
directors, Fred Holland, Linden; Tom
C. Price, Saginaw; John Purtell.
Kawkawlin; Bert Mellinger, Ithaca;
D. S. Herriott, St. Johns; Godfrey
Gettle, Sebewaing; John L. Shepherd,
Allentbn.

AND STILL THEY CODIE
AS‘T WEEK when we turned over
$850.05 to the Hoover Relief
committee. we supposed that the
-crest of the contributions had been
reached and were hardly prepared
for the donations which came later.
During the last week an additional
$105.75 was received, which is here—
by gratefully acknowledged. Looks
like we were going to hit that thous-
and dollar mark after all. Only
$44.20 needed toodo it. Let’s try to
reach it, shall we?

"sheep decreased 2,047,000, or 4.3 ' 'per“

,The total numbers‘on farms and

follows: Horses, 20,183,000; mules»
4,999,000; milk cows, 233321,000;"other

The results of the 1920 census of
live stock have been issued for a few
states only; the two sets of ﬁgures.
(Census and Crop Estimates) are not
made from the same basis and there-
fore are. not comparable, in that the
Bureau of .CI‘Op Etlmates ﬁgures are
the result of applying yearly estimat-
ed changes to the cénsus ﬁgures of
1910, which were taken on April 15,
instead of on January 1, as was done,
in 1920. No attempt has been made.
to readjust the Bureau’s 1920 ﬁgures-
to the new census basis in the few
states for which census ﬁgures have
been published. Readjustments will
be deferred until the censuswill be
complete for all states. ‘

The total Value of live stock has
declined $2_271,576,000, or' 26.7 per
cent during "he year;'that is, from a
total of $8,507,145 000 on January 1,
1920, to $6,235 569,000 on January 1,
192.1. This decline is due partly tothc
reduction in numbers but more-to the
lower value oer head.

Horses, with a value of $92.45 per
head as compared with $94.42 a year
ago, are lowm' than they' have been
since\1906. The total value of horses
is estimated at $1,664,166 000, which
is $298,337,000, or 15.3 per cent less'
than a year ago. -

Mules have declined in price rela-~
tively more than have horses; due,
wobably, to the depression in the
Cotton states where mules are large-
ly used. The Jan. 1 price. $115.72,_
is the IOWest value since 1916. where-
as the value a; year ago. $147.07, was
th highest on record. The total value
of. mules, is 85784473000, 3. reduction
of 25162927000, or 22 per cent as
compared with a year ago.

Milk cows have declined 24.8. per
cent in value per head, from $85.11
to $63.97. and in‘total value have de-
clined 8518.228 000, or 258 per cent
from 32.010.128.000 to 81491900000.
Other cattle have declined 27.3 per

from 331.934.185.000 to 81.346.665.000.

‘All cattle have thus declined $1,105,- '

This is-on‘e m: the oldest diseases
known to the veterinary profession
and is known by ,a- great variety of

"weed,"

“water - farcy,”

as
leg."

names,
‘fbig

ease," “shot of grease,” and many

other quack names. This disease in
the horse is usually conﬁned to the

extremeties, and more frequently at—

fects the hind legs than the fore legs.
The disease is seldom seen affecting
more/ than one limbat a time. The

"heaviest breeds are more often at:
stected, which is due to a more slug—

gish circulation, and are, as-a rule
greater (coders, but th‘gdisease‘may
occur in the very best bred horses.

A common cause is, after an animal

has been used'to hard work, allow-
ing him to stand idle “in 'the stable
for a few days, and giving the same
amount of food as he. had when
working,“ thus the lymphatic glands
Vand vessels become overloaded and
irritated. inflammation follows, and
lymphangitis becomes ,esta'blished.
When a horse rests, the quantity of
food should be.decreased.‘ If the ﬁrst
attack is not properly treated, and
the leg left enlarged, repeated at-
tacks are more apt to occur, each
time leaving the leg larger. The
treatment in this case would be to
apply .hot water at least once or
twice a day, and after drying thor-

j‘6.ughly, apply a tight bandage and‘

the swelling can be reduced to quite
an extent.‘ The hot water should
be applied morning and night. The
bandage should 'be removed at noon
and the leg bathed with the follow—
ing liniment. Tincture of Arnica,
two ounces and witch hazel, six ounc—
es. ‘ This should be rubbed well in
'.tor ﬁve or ten minutes, after which
'apply\bandage; the leg should. be
'kept bandaged all the time the horse
is standing in the stable. The in-

‘ 'ternal treatment consists of giving

one tablespoonnt of granulated salt—
‘petre three times a day. This should
be kept up for one week during each

,I"mox1th.«." .It may be mixed with 'the

feed or better given on the tongue
with a spoon.

 

GROWTH IN TEAT

I have a cow that hurt the‘end of her

. teat and I have to use a milking tube to
extract the milk. The. end of the teat

has become hard and the hardness ex~

tends up the opening about a. quarter of

an inch, It is difficult to insert the milk-

, ingitube'. It doesn’t appear to be sore,
but I cannot squeeze any milk out.

What can I do to remove the callous, or

make the teat so I can milk without a‘

tube?—Cn W., Charlevoix County, Mich.

Dialating the opening might help
some, but in my opinion surgical re-
moval of the growth, with an instru-
ment made for that purpose is the
only 'method to pursue.

 

OVER-FEEDING AND NO
EXERCISE

I had a. horse that got sick in the
woods when I was going for wood. He
started to paw and kick and roll and in
six hours he died. II wish to know
what, to vwdo for a horse like that. One
of my horses, a mare, laid down and did
not get up so 1 killed her. I wish to
know what was the matter and what to
do in case another horse should be taken
this way. Like your paper 0. K. and will

v take it as long as it is printedP—T. P..
Rathbury, Michigan. . ~

 

I I. The mare that you -say “laid down
and never was able to'ge’t on her feet
‘ again, no doubt has a disease known

as Azoturia; this is causedhy good ,

feeding and notenou‘gh exercise." This
disease can be prevented a great deal;
leasier than it can be cured. ‘Any
‘;horse that is fed‘ well should have

:daily exercise; ifhe gets properex-‘p

ercise daily he will never be affected,
