 r. UBAM CLOVER, the neW' annual le-
f;  a ', game, has been planted on .‘a thOusand
l ‘ acres in Michigan this year, according to re-
 ports received by the state farm bureau.

ﬁe far as the farm bureau knows this state

 : :hasjplanted more this year than any other
 ‘state. Alabama, the state where Hubam
.2; was. ﬁrst. found, is. probably second and
' “Iowa, the homéf'oforofessor H. D. Hughes,
the discoverer of; "the~ clover; is considered
third. '_ we"  . - - .. - y

 Under. favorable-1 conditions Hubam pro-

 .from,,390rto 500, pounds per acre.”
{l‘heprice-this, year hasrbeen $5 a. pound in 
  and someWherez from $5 'to $10 ' "
"i’i‘rin, :cher— states; No. One.  predict what,
-‘ the price will be next  when there will .

be a largergquantilty of '. seed onjhand.

The extent to which farmershave used I.

 this seed is seen in‘tlie» reports of county
9agents .to, Eben Mumerd, State Leader of
51:00unty Agents. .‘J. ’W’. Sims, ,of Hillsdale,
 says that there are 20 acres, of Hubam clov-
er in his county. .v'l‘en farmers in Eaton
: county "have planted a total of 45 acres ac-

' . cerding to R. 'E. Decker, county agent, and

 ~. _sma}l samples were distributed to 25 other
‘ farmers. MisSaukee county farmers ,have
 planted a. number of seed plots of Hubam
"which promises to be very popular in that
I locality. One farmer in_ Muskegon county
is growing a large acreage as a commercial

Nicolson, manager of the state

resentative of the Business Farmer, who
had. asked him what ‘he thought of ﬂu-
bam '~ clover for Michigan terms. “It
will not:.ltake the place of Our common
clovers grown in this state but I believe
it. will" have :a. place in our agricultural

system. ' ~ .

More than 700 seed tests of various kinds
are being carried on by county agents over

V the state, according to .Dr.—Mumford. Alger

county farmers have ordered . 12,000
pounds ’of grass seed through the state farm
bureau, according to C. P. Johnson. Alle-
gan county, planted upward of 5,000
pounds of guaranteed northwestern grown
Grimm alfalfa. .' Alfred Bentall, county

agent, says he believes that farmers have

taken unusual pains in liming and fertiliz-
ing this year, because of the high price
they have had to pay for some of the seed.
Baraga county has planted 10,000 pounds
of guaranteed seed. .Four large public.
demonstrations and ,ﬁfty smaller demon-
strations of the best methods of growing
oats,” alfalfa, clover, potatoes, and soy
beans are being carried on in Barry county.
More alfalfa is reported to be see®d this
year in Hillsdale county than any' other
'crop. ‘ Crop work in Tuscola county .has

Hubam Clover Acreage

  Theu‘sand'Acres Planted toNew Annual Sweet Clover in This State

been devoted largely to the securing of bet- ‘
ter seeds and the dissemination of pedi-
greed varieties, according to Mr. MacVit-
tie, who "reports that 15,000 pounds of im- '
proved grass seed was purchased by
farmers. Twenty tons of clover seed of
various kinds, was purchased by g the -‘
Wayne county farmers, including . 3,000 I
pOunds’ of Grimm. alfalfa which. is being
tried in many places where cemmon alfalfa
has failed 'to grow, due to freezing. ‘0. 
Gregg says, that Black Barbless Barley .
proved to be so well adapted to farming

conditions in that county last year that 15

for 20 farmers are giving this variety a

trial this year.
Extension work in Washtenaw county .
includes the testing of several varieties of
celery this year. Several farmers of
Schoolcraft, county are giving sunflowers
a careful trial as ensilage. W. E. Mc-
Carthy of Ogemaw, says, “It appears now
as though the oat crop would narrow down I
to two varieties by another year or two in-
stead of the numerous ones. now grown, ’
many of which are inferior in yield and j
quality. A concerted effort in Monroe ,
county to increase the alfalfa acreage“
resulted in ‘the‘ purchase of’ seven tons of
common alfalfa and 2,500 pounds of _
Grimm.” _ ‘
The 1910 census gives Marquette county ’
70 acres'of clover. L. R. Walker says that ,
through constant agitation and recommen-~
dation the «acreage has been increased
many times. Many farmers have. sown
who never sowed it before. More barley
More acre
age of sunflowers was sowed last spring‘
than ever before. Barley and sunflowers
will take the place of corn as a grain and as
silage in this county.” I
An interesting comment in the report of ‘
R. H. Cameron of Luce county is, “Smut
in oats in this county is now a curiosity,
practically every farmer
treats yearly.” Four car-
loadsmf farm bureau seeds
have gone to Kent county this
year which R. G. Carr, coun— - I
ty agent, believes will -bring
about a. marked improvement
in crops. The Kalka’ska coun-
ty" agent, . E.  Twlng,
' carried on an intensive cam-
'pa.ign last spring to increase
the acreage of sweet clover:
Hiseﬂ’orts resulted in the.
placing of. seed- through local ;

EEPQRTS or hog cholera outbreaks ~ are
‘ again being featured in the news, col-

umns of our daily papers; every year 'ithous-_ ‘

ands ofhogs are taken by this dread disease

when," if proper precautions were resorted to

this persistent infection Could be completely
eradicated from the state within a ﬁve-year
period. The time has come, in ‘the‘ history "of
this country, when live ’stock breeders can no
longer afford to temporize with the menace
of contagious disease. Cholera in hogs, tu-
berculosis in cattle and scabbies in sheep can
be absolutely controlled and the “American
farmer will ﬁnd it greatly to his interest to
co-operate with state and national authorities
in the effort to stamp out these diseases.

, Conceding the necessity of stamping out
the infection of hog cholera in Michigan at

the earliestpossible date, it is a self-evident-

fact that for the next ﬁve years at least, every
herd in the state should be immunized by the
double treatment of every hog. in it with
serum and virus. The cholera infection has
become so widely distributed, as a result of
the numerous outbreaks which have occurred
in every county in the state that the menace
to porcine health assumes more importance
than ever before. That hog breeders fail to
realize the impending danger is evidenced by
the fact that scarcely ten per cent of the hogs
in the state are immunized. The question of
the hour, in the minds of the state authorities
whose duty it is to safeguard animal health is,
how can the Michigan hog breeder be made to
see the need of general immunization.
An Inexpensive Operation

Many breeders do not vaccinate because of
what they have been told concerning the
heavy expense of the operation. Others have
heard and have given credence to some of the
gossip going the rounds to the effect that-vac-
cination is not always effectual in preventing
an outbreak of cholera. Others have heard

that, occasionally, small tumors appear in the
feet or on the legs 0f the treated hogs, being

a... or crates

directly traceable to the use of the virus in

_the vaccination treatment.

First, let us consider the- expense of the
vaccination. The breeder who desires to
make a clean job will follow the strictly up-to-
date practice of vaccinating ‘ his weanling

pigs. In the ﬁrst -placeit is' important for‘

the breeder to‘ know that only licensed veter-
inarians are permitted to vaccinate hogs. The

best course for the breeder to take is to get in

touch with his local veterinary surgeon and

- agree with him upon a future date for the op-

eration’; this method of procedure will make
it possible for the veterinarian; to secure a
stock of “fresh serum and virus“ and to arrange
matters so that the date of the operation will
not clash with his other business. A breeder

who has 50 pigs, ﬁve weeks old, that he wishes,

to have the double treatment, can get the job
done for less than 60 cents apiece: \Vhere
can the breeder be found that can afford to
take the chance of a cholera outbreak when

he can get his hogs immunized for 60 cents
The chiefargument in support of ’

apiece?
vaccination for small pigs is the small cost of
the treatment. ’ ’

But how about the eﬁectiveness of the vac;

ntgg'ious Disease  7 
cination treatment? The 

“gifting hogs for several year-g ,pmaeh

" ‘ only proved to "his oWn satisfaction‘ that ii

cholera can be prevented by Ivaccinati

pigs not only  them from ﬁche

. The time has come when the breeder, 5
pure-bred hogs, cattle and sheep must be 7ablem',
to give a certiﬁcate of health , with every 
mal he offers for sale. During; the fall of  ’

,ings had been immunized and in others the

animals were not immune. With scarcely a
single exception, the hogs thathad been im.-.1
munized brought 20 per cent more ' than ethé‘f“
hogs'that' had not been treated. The strictly-V,
up-tO-date breeder will have blank certiﬁcates
of health in which the date of treatmentandv
manner of treatment can be speciﬁed. '- One of} 
these certiﬁcates can be made out for each
hog and the veterinarian 'who "does the inr

should be asked to sign each one of these ce — ..

‘tiﬁcates- before he collects his fee for doing .
the work. When the hog is offered for sale
the breeder can satisfy 'his prospective- cus-

Control Measures to Employ in Fighting GrasS-hoppers

Most Practical Methods ‘ofDestroying Hoppers 'a're‘Hopperdozer and Poison Bait

HERE are three principal methods of
I control which have been found to be of
greater or less practical value in combating
grasshoppers in this country: First, the de-
struction of the eggs; second, catching the in-
sects in the ﬁeld by means of traps; and, third,
the use of the poisoned baits.
Destroying the Eggs of GrasshOppers
It is seldom practicable to destroy the eggs
because of the many different hiding places
chosen by the grasshoppers in laying them and
the impossibility. of reaching the same with
cultivating implements. However, where
they are accessible the ground containing them
should be thoroughly plowed, or disked, and
harrowed in the fall, as these operations pre-
vent the eggs from hatching, successfully the
following spring. Attempts to reach the eggs
by handwork, such as digging up thesoil, is
practicable only in gardens; truck farms, and
places where intensive cultivation is practiced.
~ Mechanical Means of Destroying Hoppers
The most common method of destroying

grasshoppers meChanically is by’the use of a .

implement or trap

TheSe im-

commonly called a hopperdozer.

. plements are constructed along similar- lines,,

but are of many slightly {different patterns.

have a pan made of galvanized sheet-iron,
but the back and side wings are usually built
with a WOOden frame covered with stout mus-
lin, screen or light cotton duck, thus securing
lightness and elasticity or structure. The
pan of the hopperdozer is kept partially ﬁlled
with water, upon which a ﬁlm of low-grade

kerosene, or coal oil, is maintained. When the ,

implement has a cloth back and wings, these
are kept moistened with kerosene oil. As the
hopperdozer is, drawn oVer the ‘ grotmd the
grasshoppers g'ump or fly against its back and
most of them are precipitated into the oil-
covered water in the pan. A slight

touch of oil is fatal to the insects

New York Fighting ‘Laikes‘to Gcean Highway
ASED ON as selﬁsh a motive as ever par-
petrated the representatives of a single
state against the best interests of the Whole
United States is the opposition which the

lakes to ocean ship route is receiving in Wash-

‘ ington-

The‘ New York congressmen are lining up
every conceivable   this inev-
itable naﬁoml improment, but shm’ of

‘ their verbiage they all reduae to the wholly

selﬁsh desire to protect the tonnage which
now passes entirely through America’s bottle
neck, New York harbor.

The great demand for a more economical
method of transporting the gigantic wheat
crop of the northwest and the products of all
states west of the Atlantic seaboard, to the

‘ markets of the world  wtirﬂy overlooked

by these provincial legislators.
Never, to our knowledge, have our own

representatives at Wﬁington been 

ed'to ﬁght nor Miehigan’s  against
those of the United States at large and'we
hOpe they never will be! It is inconceivable

in these days when "following aselﬁeﬂi W,‘

in which thousands of our boys laid down
their all for a wholly  inkel, men in

our own 333d should foster a. policy so utterly, ’

devoid of the spirit of democracy, which :we

' have held up as a beacon-hm to the of

the world. 

No state in the United Stats hm  
to even challenge the "bail:  of all the
states! We hope- there is a any to teach dur-

ing this vastly important legislative ﬁght a'

single state  imam. . '

We made way with our eat so that
no murder would be committed in
our garden. -

If anyone wants to know how to
be rid of a cat in a genteel'and pain-
less manner just ask me, Two of
my neighbors failed and had a big
bet that I would. Their unwelcOme
felines were on their back steps next
morning and in revenge have given
them concerts every moonlight night
since but mine rests peacefully-un-
der the clover and the birds in grat-
itude give us wonderful concerts
every morning and all day.

BETTER TIMES COMING

HAVE wondered lately why there

' have not been. more letters in our
‘ department and I‘ believe it is
because we have all been so busy
taking care of our chickens and
garden that we haven’t been able to
ﬁnd the time. But let’s ‘give our
men-folks bread andI milk for sup-
per some night and take the time to
write a nice breezy letter as our ed-
itor has asked us to do.

I live in the southern part of the
Thumb, where money is so scarce
that every bill is stretched- until it
scarcely resembles U. S. currency
and our clothes are so patched that
the manufacturers would never rec-
ognize them; but we still sing or
whistle while we gather our 20—cent
eggs and milk big pails of dollar per
hundred milk from our two hundred
and fifty dollar cows. When we
can’t sell our produce “we eat what
we can, and what we can’t we can."
And the downfall of the price of
milk, eggs, etc., can’t keep us from
enjoying to the fullest extent the
ﬂash of blue across the garden as
Mr. and Mrs: Bluebird, who have
apartments in our corner post. go
out looking for food for the child-
ren; the lark's 5 a. m. song: the
.w’ren's chatter; the bob-o-link's ex-
quisite music as he gracefully bal-
hnces himself on.a timothy head in
the meadow; and the brilliant color
of the oriole who has a nest in
one of our maples and is constanigy
ﬂashing back and forth from near-
by trees with food for the nine ones,
'0' we saw with Browning:

“The year’s at the spring

And day's at the morn;

Morning’s at seven;

The hillside’s dew-pearled; ,

The lark’s on the wing: '

‘The snail’s on the thorn:

- God’s in His Heaven— 2

- Ali’s right with the world."

Some news when. in ’heat' will not
take the boarreadily and will often
hinder a, successful service . by low-

ering the vitality of ‘the male. When

breeding crate", .whichds growing in--

a smallpsow, is bred to a,large,v.heavy ,

boar there is danger of injury to. the
sow if some mechanical device is

not used to help bear- the weight of'

the boar... Such a device can also 'be
used 'to advantage when a.
boar_is mated ‘to a large sow.

\

There are many types of breeding'

crates. which the farmer may con-
struct. The accompanying illustra-

tions'show acrate that can be :op-,
"erated by one man and is easily ccn- ‘

structed on the average farm with-
out involving .much expense.

Directions for Operation
The/sow is driven into the 'open

'end of the crate until her hind feet:

are 'in front of the crosspiece of the
T-shaped lift. The sow is elevated
by means of the lift, which is drawn
up‘by a Windlass as .shown in the
illustration. A ratchet on the wind-
lass holds the sow at the desired
height. The partition at the front
end of the crate Operates on a slide
and .can be arranged to suit the

TO the’Mothe'rs, Wives and\Sisters Off  r
the Business Farmer's» of Michigan:  p   p  I 
' COME INTO ms OWN AS   

OUR PROBLEMS thess days, dear ladies, remind

me of the hardships of the early Pilgrim mothers—,-

For be it remembered, that the Pilgrim'fathers, land-
ing in early winter on the bleak, rock—bound coast of New
England, faced an unknown land, ﬁlled with blood-thirsty
savages and no provisions for the long winter——

While the Pilgrim mothers had not only all of these
things'to face, but the Pilgrim fathers as well!

' You have to face not only the hardships of depress-
ing markets, which father has to face, but in'addition you
have 'to take his word for it and some times he was mighty‘
blu’e, wasn’t he? . _ -

But you cheered him up and told him you’d sailed
together over rougher seas and reminded him that every r
cloud has a silver lining and that a dOg can’t keep run-
ning into the woods forever, because when he gets more
than half way in, he is runningout of the woods!

SO right now, ten to one, father and the boys too,
probably are out sweating and working their heads off to
get a big crop to sell within the next few months or weeks!

And you—well, you are working just as hard asthey
are and perhaps a little harder. Maybe more hours and
work the boys wouldn’t do on a bet!

But, like every woman, you mix some'thought with
your work—you may be washing, or scrubbing, or baking
or mending—BUT EVERY MINUTE YOU ARE
- glgljh'IKlNGI—that is why this message is addressed to

WHAT MADE DAD SO BLUE? k
_ You know what is wrong with the farming business—-

’ it’s the selling end! '

r The farmers of America never failed to raise enough
foodstuff to feed all of this country and part of the
world besides—more often they have raised too much!

But it took them a long, long while to ﬁnd this out!

At one time America was threatened with becoming
like Europe and Asia, where poverty-stricken peasant
work the ﬁelds for luxury-loving landlords who became
known as aristocrats! , _

America’s greatest farming states, Illinois and Iowa,
were cursed with this plague until there were more ten-
ants or peasants on their farms than farm owners. Mich-
igan, thank God, was more enlightened! Eighty-ﬁve per
cent of our farniers still own the land-they till!

But last year the blow which awakened the farmers
of America came! .

Before the foodstuffs the farmers had sweated to
raise could be hauled to markets, the prices had toboggan—
ed to levels comparable only to before the war!

That was the Big Ben which aw'oke the farmers from
their lethargy—since then they have been organizing mar-
keting associations, passing new laws at Washington to
control the grain markets and the packers-—

AND THE AMERICAN FARMER IS GOING TO
