HE MICHIGAN State Grange in. an-
nual session at Flint, and the Sinners-
in biennial session at Toledo, 0., both adop-
ted resolutions last week favoring govern—
ment ownership of railroad-s. The. action

of' the State Grange is century to the

policy of the National Grange which has: of
late repeatedly declared itself “opposed to
further government interference with bus—
ineSS’,o

The annual Grange. convention was one
of the largest of recent years, the attend-
ance being estimated at over eight hun-
dred. Every county in the state but. one
was represented. There being no election
of oﬂicers except to ﬁll vacancies on the ex-
ecutive committee the convention was pri-
marily devoted to the discussion of import-
ant state and’ national issues and the exem-
pliﬁcaﬁon of the several degrees of the
order.

In his ammal address, Worthy Master
A. B. Cook, of Owosso, stressed the posi-
tion in which the farmer ﬁnds himself to-
day and declared that there could be no

true readjustment, no return of the farm— ,

or" s purchasing power until all other peo-
ple, manufacturers, bankers, lawyers, doc-
tors, dentists, laborers, eta, had equalized.
their charges with the farmers ’.

“Action to arouse. public sentiment
along these lines is very much in order just
now ” said Mr. Cook. "A thoroughly

cruised public sentiment would do more

thananytbingelsetoremind the oneswho
seemed glued to the rafters that the war Is
over and it is time to come down”.

Speciﬁc recommendations. made by Mr.
Cook included a. tax of 2 cents a gallon on
gasoline, and the adoption of a state in-
come tax. '

Grange for Disarmament

Early in the session a resolution on dis-
armament was adopted amid prolonged
cheers and applause, and forwarded to
Resident Harding: The resolution fol—
lows:

”Whereas, wars are contrary to every prin-
ciple of civilization and

‘Wliereas. 93“ per cent of our present na-
tional budget goes to settle past war debts and’
create new forces for destruction, and

“Whereas, the present tax burden is almost
too great for the people of all nations to
bear.

“Therefore, be ft resolved, by the Michigan
State Grange assembled in Its forty—eighth an-
nual session that we heartily approve and
urge the adoption of the plan for the limita-
tion of armaments proposed by the United

States new beta: considered at Washfngton. .

and

“Be it further resolved that the manufact-
ure of all warlike Implements, such as poison-
ous gas, submarines. etc., it forever mountin-
“ would: meet the approval or all sound.

all public utilities, including the rail-
roads.

2'. That the government. should own

recommendations included the adoption of

a state income tax law, prohibitiou of the

issuance of tax exempt securities, reforming

Gleaners Biennial Session

HE THIRTEENTH biennial session

of the Gleaners which was held last
Week at Toledo, Ohio, was marked by the
utmost harmony and optimism over the
future. Grant Slocum, head of the order,
compared conditions of today with those of
the “panic” years of 1893 and 1907 and
showed that they were no worse if as bad
as in the previous. years. He admitted that
the farmer had been hard hit, but that
conditions were on the upgrade. This sen-
timent prevailed throughout. the entire
session.

The convention concerned itself primar-
ily with the business details of the insur—
ance department, , all amendments to
the waxitution being adopted unanimous-
ly. Reports of the oﬂicers showed a sub-
stantial gain in members and assets, the
later having reached the impressive ﬁgure
of one and a half million dollars.

Grange and Gleaners for U. S Ownership

Two Michigan F arm Organizations 1:: Convention last week Adopt Progressive Resolutions

   

the Esch—Gummins law, which he declared
to be class legislation. “The government
should own the railroads,” said Mr.
Bramble, “and lease them to private cor-
porations at a fair rental”, He urged that
the local Grangcs require every candidate
for state ofﬁce to go 011 record regarding
his attitude toward the income tax law.

Mr. Bramble’s address will be published
complete in an early issue of the Business
Farmer.

A resolution asking for the abolishment

w of the state police was defeated. As long as

the enemies/of this costly military establish-
ment offer no substitute to perform the
work of the state police their efforts to de-
stroy the organization will be of no avail.
When the true lovers of law and order
come forth with a program of law enforce-
ment by local ofﬁcials elected to do their job
there will be some hope of convincing
others that the state police are a needless
expense.

Past; Master George B. Horton offered a
resolution in favor of returning to the
economies of the early days of the Grange.
Speaking in behalf of his resolution Mr.
Hortou said, “The tiller of the soil in
Europe has become the lowest in the scale
of society. There is danger that the Amer—
ican farmer with our increasing cost of
government; and decreasing receipts from
his labor may go dam to similar levels.
We should oppose bonding schemes and
forms of debt that mortgage the future of
ourselves and our children.” Despite vig-
orous opposition to the sentiment of the
resolution, let by J. N. McBride, it was
adopted. Mr. McBride thought the present
was a time for hope and optimism. “We
are at the turning of the read,” he said.
“This is a country of great resources live—
stock is low in price and the present is a
good time to re-stock the farm. To use
one ’8 credit is sometimes the highest wis—
dom”

The convention voted to concur in a reso-
lutiou offered by Kent County Pomona
Grange opposing home rule for counties.
Sen. Thus. McNaughton of Grand Rapids,
and Malcolm MacPherson of Lowell, mem-
ber elect of the State Board of Agriculture
Were largely instrumental in putting the
resolution through. The particular move-
ment at which the resolution is aimed is the
agitation for a commission form of govern-
ment for counties.

Patron Taken From Helme

Jas. Helms, who has been the militant
and picturesque editor of the Grange Pat-
ron, for many years is no longer at the
helm. His free and frequent criticisms of
others in the Grange have slowly builded
an opposition which has been felt for sev-
oral put state (manual! on Date 15)

The Farm Bureau wool pool is
finding the marketing of the 1921
pool a decidedly different proposi-
tion than was that of marketing the
1920 pool. In the 1920 pool four-
fifths of the wool came in after the
wool market had slumped; the Farm
Bureau with 3,500,000 pounds of
wool on its hands was becalmed in
a wool market that was dead for
seven months. Beginning February
15 there wasa little improvement
and the Farm Bureau started man-
keting wool in difficult, nervous and
sickly market. Between February
15 and September 1 the department
not only marketed the 3,500,000
pounds of wool but in the meantime
put over a summer grading campaign
which landed 2,785,000 pounds of
wool into the 1921 pool. With the
end of the 1920 pool the Farm Bur-
eau plunged into the marketing of
the 1921 crop and in less than four
months has marketed the major por-
tion of the pool.

Lessons learned by the farmers in
the care of sheep, the handling and
preparation of ﬂeeces for market,
and the educational value of the
summer grading campaign are to
mean much to Michigan’s sheep in-
dustry, according to the wool depart-
ment In addition to building a co-
operative wool marketing organiza-
tion that commands the attention of
the big woolen mills, the farmers of
the state have assured themselves of
a square deal on their wool grades
and full return on those grades.
Marketing of that wool in large
blocks has also been advantageous
to the producer. Today the co—op—
erative wool marketing business of
Michigan seems assured of a prof-
itable place in the markets of today
and of the future.

MILK AND ALFALFA CAMPAIGN
IN VAN RUBEN COUNTY
MILK AND Alfalfa Campaign,
similar to the one carried on
in Allegan county 1: short time

ago, was put on in Van Buren coun-

ty December 13 to 23. The campaign
was in charge of County Agent

W. C. Eckard who has the assistance

of a corpsof men from the agricul-

tural college. The college men were

0. E. Reed, head of the dairy depart-

ment and H. E. Dennison and A. C.

Baltzer of the dairy department, to-

gether with J. 1". Cox, head of the

farm crops department, assisted by

H. C. Rather and D. F. Ralney.

Meetings were held around on the
farms giving actual demonstration
and talks of the ways to best build
up high producing herds and care
for them. Charts and other illus-
trative material was freely used to
show the value of a high—quality
sire and the increased profits thru

‘a careful weeding out of the poor—

yielding cows. An educational milk

film was shown. Another film
showing the tuberculin test in action
and an illustrated lecture on the
raising and value of alfalfa was also
given at each of these meetings.—

CLUB WORK MEANS BUSINESS
FARBIING

“ LUB WCRK among boys and
girls of Michigan should aim to
work out some of the definite

problems of the farmers as well as

train the members in the best farm—

ing practices," is the view of IL A.

Turner, state leader of boys‘ and

girls’ clubs. "The clubs of certain dis-

tricts which raise more of one crop
than any other should aim to accom-
plish results, which will materially
aid the farmers of that section," he
says. For instance, the average acre
yield of corn in Wisconsin has been

'Faised 10 bushels in the last 10 years

as a result of the boys clubs rs
varieties of corn which are odsp
to their sections of the state and cor-
rying on s. careful selection of seed
corn each year, according to figures
just sent from the Federal Doped-t-
ment at Washington.

FRANCE FIXES FLOUR PRICE
NEW BILL has Just been intro-
duced in the French Chamber
of Deputies, which aims at eo-
tablishing a definite relation between
the price of wheat, the price of flour
and the price of bread.

The Bankers Trust Company, of
New York, is advisgd by its French
Information Service, that according
to the terms of this proposed law,
the prefect of each department in
France would be authorized, after
consultation with the competent als-
thorities, to fix the price of flour in
accordance with the cost of wheat.
Any violation of this law, if it is vot-
ed, would be punished by a fine and
imprisonment varying from 5 day!
to 6 months.

The proposal of this law was cano-
ed by the fact that although in tho
last few months, owing to an excep-
tionally good harvest, the price of
wheat decreased considerably, there
was no corresponding decrease in
the price of flour.

Up to the end of last July, wheat
was under state control and was
sold at a fixed price of 100 franc
per quintal (220.5 lbs). A few
weeks later, after the harvest, when
the market became free, the price
went down to 70 francs, a little lab
or to 65 francs and in some region!
even to 60 francs a quintal.

Under normal conditions, the
price of flour and that of bread
should have gone down to a corres—
ponding extent, but while the do-
crease in cost of wheat varied from
26 per cent to 28 per cent, the price
of flour only decreased by 22 pa
centsndthatofbread by 19 percent.

FERTILIZER INTERESTS AF'I‘EB

FREIGHT RATE REDUTIONS

MERS generally are interest,
ed in the effort being made by
the fertilizer industry to obtain

reductions in freight rates on ship-
ments of its products.

Through its Traffic Committee.
the National Fertilizer Association
has submitted to the Trunk Lino
Association a statement of coed}
tions, which contains some striking
information and statistics_ The av-
erage of the prices of five represen-
tative brands, varying in analysis
from 16 per cent acid phosphate is
a 4-7—5 mixture, shows that, although
they advanced from $31.30 in 1910

'to $47.10 in 1918, the entire in-

crease has been wiped out and that
present selling prices are below
those of five years ago.

That this is true, despite the fact
that freight rates are still at the
peak, simply indicates that a full
return to pro-war levels hinges on
an immediate, substantial reduction
in the cost of transportation.

ers' Association, meeting at State

No, dear madaam, there is no way. So

many of our great newspapers cannot aﬂord _

to hire men with brains. They must depend

'Some Income Tax Figures
EXT'YEAR Michigan citizens will be
permitted to vote on an amendment to
the constitution authorizing the legislature

to "levy a tax against incomes. Some farm-'

ers have expressed their doubt as to "the ad-
vantages of such a law. They have been
promised relief so many times from the bur—
den of taxes by the adoption of some new tax
scheme that they look with suspicion upon
all Stitch premises.

It would netther be wise not true \to say
that an income tax law would relieve all land
from. the payment of taxes. Some day a
means maybe devised whereby taxis can be
levied and mcwfully colleated against net
income in lieu of all other kinds of taxes, but

that day is not in the immediate future. But '

a state income tax should materially lessen
the tax on farm lends providing state aspen-I
ditures do netinmdomuch cutout up
the additional revenue. In providing new
sources of taxation it will ‘be well for the
people and the legislature to take’ the matter
of expenditures very seriously into consider-

ation, for we are quite too prone, both in-

dividuals and a govenunent, to increase our
expenditures in proportion to" increases in
our income.

There are certain facts in connection with

the amount of taxable income in this state ,
which should tend to give the mfomdened-
taxpayer greater conﬁdence in the pacposed.

winter. Am. the Beneficent Spirit. of

the. forests, anticipating what was to
come had prepared well? tor them.-

Everywhere there was plenty_ The
blueberries, the blackberries, the
mountain-ash and the saskatoons
were ripe; tree and vine were bent
low with their burden of fruit. The
grass was: greem and tender from the
summer rains. Bullbous roots were
fairly popping out of the earth; the
fens and the edges of the lakes. were
rich with things: to. eat, overhead
and“ underfoot the horn of plenty
was emptying itself without stint.

In this world Neewa and Miki
found‘ a vast and unending content—
ment. They lay, on this August af-
ternoon, on a sun-bathed shelf of
rock that overlooked a wonderful.
valley. Neewa, stuffed with liucfous
blueberries, Was asleep. Miki’ 3 eyes
were only partly closed as he looked
down into the soft haze of the val-
iey. Up to him came the rippling
music of‘ the stream running between
the rocks and over the pebbly bars
below, and‘ with“ it the soft and Ian—
gourous drone of the valley itself.
He napped’ uneasily- f‘or half an hour
and' then his eyes opened and he was
wide awake. He took a sharp look
over the valley. Then he looked at
Neewa, who, fat and lazy, would
have slept until dark_ It was al—
ways Miki who kept him on the move.
And. now M‘iki barked at his gruffly
two or three times, and. nipped one
of. his. ears.

“Wake up!" he might have said.
“What's the sense of sleeping on a
day- like this? Let’s go down along
the- creek and. hunt. something.”

Neewa roused. himself, stretched
his; ﬂat body, and. yawned. Sleepil'y
his: little eyes took in- the valley. Mi-
ki got up and gave the low and. anx-
ious whine which always told. his
companion; that he wanted to be on
the move. Neewa responded, “ and
they began making their way down
the green. slope into the rich bottom
between; the two ridges.

They were now. almost six months-
of age, and in. the matter of. size had.

In Neewafs funny round head”
there had grown during the cousin
of events, an: ambition to; have it out
some day with a citizen- of his own
kind; but the two opportunities that
had came his way were spoiled. by
the ﬂeet that the other cubs' mothers
were with them. So now, when Mi;-
ki led on on his trips of adventures,
Neewa always followed with another
thrill than that of getting something;
to set, which so long had been 111!
one ambition; Which is not to. say
that Neewa had lost his appetite; m
could eat more in one day that Mild!
could. in three, mainly-because, MM
was satisfied with two or three mealk
a day while Neewa preferred ones—y
a continuous one lasting tram dawn.
until dark On the trail he was sli-
ways eating something.

A quarter of a mile along the foot
of the ridge, in a stony couiee down
which a 'tiny rivul'et trickled, there
grew the finest Wild currant-s in all:
the Shamattawa country. Big as.
cherries, black as ink, and swelling
almost to the bursting point with
luscious juice, they hung in clusters»
so thick that Neewa could gather
them: by the mouthful. Nothing in.
all the wilderness is quite- so good
as one-of these dead-ripe black. cur-v-
rants, and this coulee wherein they
grew so richly Neewa. had; preamp“
as his own personal property. some;
too, had learned. to: eat the current”
so to the coulee they went this ad'-
ternoon, for such. currents as these
one can cant even, when one is? all»
ready full. Besides, the: comics was!
fruittul for Mi‘ki in other ways;
There were many young partridge
and rabbits in it+——“fooli hens!’ of
tender flash and delicious ‘
which he caught quite easily,%

any number of gophers and squiub‘

rels.

Today they had scarcely taken
their first mouthful; of the big juicy
currents. when. an unmistakable
sound came to them. Unm-i’stakahls-

VALUE OF BEAN AS MILK
’ PRODUCER *

What ,is the value of‘ bran compared
with other feeds for milk production?—
J. M., Durand, Mich.

I do not know what other feeds
you have in mind, but bran is a
great dairy feed and is particularly
valuable for two reasons. First,
because it contains a goodly per-
centage of protein, according to the
analysis givenin Henry‘s Feeds and
Feeding, published by _,the Henry
and Morrison (Company, ‘Madison,
Wisconsin, an authority on this
subject. Wheat bran contains 9.2
per cent digestible protein ‘as com-
pared with corn which‘ contains
only 6 per cent. Second, bran is of
great value when mixed with other
feeds beca it lightens and gives
the dairy ration a good mechanical
condition. We want a dairy ration
to be rather light so that it can be
oasilv masticn'ted and digested. If
a ration packs together, like bolt-
ed coru meal, it is pretty heavy for
anything to digest—O. A.- Reed,
Professor of Dairy Husbandry, M.
A. C.

didn't have any cows. B gave a bank-
able note and A signed the note too The
place will not produce enough so that A
can pay for the cows from what he rais-
cs on the place above feed for the stock.
Can 8 keep A-frorn taking the cows and
moving on another place where A can
pay for the cows? Can B hold the cows
any way at all? I have paid the interest
on the money ever since I bought them.
—A Subscriber, Plymouth. Mich.

If A bought the cows in his own
name and B simply. endorsed his note
with the understanding that the
cows belong to A then A may remove
them from the place and take them
wherever he wishes unless he has
given some kind of a contract or
agreement that he would not remove
them from the place; that is, if the
cows were sold to A regardless of
the manner of paying then they
would be the property of A and he
would have a right to handle them
the same as any other property that
he might owu.———-Legal Editor.

Seed potatoes are inspected and
certified by the Michigan Potato
Producers’ Ass'u in co—operstion with
the horticultural department. of the
M A. 0. Every lot of potatoes has
three rigid inspections, two in the
field and one in the bin. The first
field inspection is made while the
plants are in blossom, the second
shortly before the vines are killed
by the frost, and the bin inspection
is made as soon‘ as "possible after the
potatoes have been harvested and
stored. Growers who apply for this
inspection service must themselves
plant certified ‘seed and to maintain
hill selected seed plots. In 1921,
1,020 acres were listed for inspec-
tion and certificates were issued to
95 growers, covering approximately
94,000 bushels. Certified seed can
be obtained from the seed depart-
ment of .the Michigan State Farm
Bureau which is the official selling
agency of the Michigan-Potato Pro-
ducsre‘ Ase’u. A copy of the bulle-

nure. That it is a- part of the real
estate and belongs onthe farm. Had

would then have authority to re-

no diderence where you loaded it

FEEDING GROUND CORN AND
COB

g." ‘2 "can.“ redeem mm
in ear -—— , _ -
land. Mich. er F A" web
It is perfectly good practice to
grind corn and cob together and
feed them in this way and this
practice is fellowed by many dairy-
men. The most that you can say
for this practice, however, is that
it makes it very convenient for one
who is grinding with a small cut-

. ﬁt by the use of horse power on

the farm. As far as the feed
value that is obtained from the
ground cob, will say that there is
no feed value to it to speak of. It
does help to lighten the ration and
it helps to make filler for the
ration, but it really requires as
much or more energy to digest the
ground cob than is contained in the
cob itself.———O. E. Reed, Professor
of Dairy Husbandry, M.,A. C.

PUTTING 0N LIGHTNING RODS

A company put lightning rods on my
barn and they connected the wire to both
ends of the hay carrier track. Is it safe
to ban it that way? Some say if the

get out. on account it has to go up hill
to get out. Please tell me which is true

It is considered good practice to
connect metal equipment in barns
and other buildings to lightning rod
conductors tofurnish an easy path
for the current from the hay track

and other like equipment "to the”

ground. One principle which is us-
ually followed is to give the conduct-
or a downward path or slope so that
a charge in going to the ground will
not have to go over the hill, if it can
be expressed that way, to reach the
ground. It would seem that the
logical way to connect the hay track
would be to connect the ends to the
ground, wires giving the connections

a slope down from the end of the.

track to grounds—H. H. Mussel-

man, Professor of Farm Mechanics.

PERPETUAL MOTION

I have no personal knowledge of
such prizes. Your letter was referr-

FEDERAL ABM LOANS.
AY I' .
' to brieﬂy reply to some things
' that seem to interest at least
a few. of'yourﬁreaders? ‘
First, may I mention for the bark
eﬂt of Mr. J. .13. Anderson that this
Sickles is no more than a
men country doctor of medicine, al-
ways located in small towns where
perhaps 80 per cent or» more of the

 
 

 

business has been' among farmers,

the‘best people on earth_

./ Mr. Anderson mentions that it is
a pity I have not the millions of
Rockefeller, Gould, together with
several other millionaires. Surely I
wish‘this might ’be true and if so
the first thing I would do would be
1 to invest the money in federal farm
loan bonds drawing 5 1-2 per cent
interest without any taxes to pay.
Wouldn’t that be fine?

My article relating to federal farm
loans was written after some little
investigation and only for the pur-
pose of throwing some light upon
the. subject, as here as well as in all
other matters there are two sides
to the question. -.

It is certainly immaterial to me
whether the federal farm loan law is
good or otherwise and ifSI had all
the millions Mr. Anderson so gen—
erously wishes upon me, not one dol-

lar would be investedxin farm loans..
Now, further, if what was written .

March 12, 1921, concerning the fed-
eral farm loans is not true, why
'does not some one say so and not
come back with only sarcasm? That
never got“ any one any where and
never Will.

' Best wishes for.your good farm
paper.-—-Dr. B. C. Sickles, Petoskey,
Michigan.

,I think, Doctor. we shouldn’t be too
hard on our good friend, Anderson, So
‘much of the opposition to the federal
farm loan system has come from men
whose own selfish interests are affected
that it is perhaps natural that all who
oppose the system should be placed in
that category. The federal farm loan
Mom isn’t all that it should be or might
be.'but the fact that it‘has already loan-
ed hundreds of millions of dollars would
appear to be good evidence that it fills
a. certain need. As to whether the bonds
should be exempted from taxation. that
is another question. It would be better for
us all no doubt if all bonds were taxed
alike. but since there are billions of non—
taxable bonds already on the market why
should we suddenly draw the line and
begin to tax bonds which are ﬂoated to
help the farmers. The sentiment against
non-taxable bonds is growing fast, and
We shall not be surprised if legislation is
adopted within the next five years to
tax, all future .bond issuesI—Editor.

‘ CAPITALISM

1TH THE permission of the ed-
itor of M. B. F. I would like
‘* to make some comments on
Mr.- Slagle’s letter of Nov. 19, and
also the editor’s comment on same.
Mr. Slagle utters some very plain
truths in regard to the condition of
millions of people in our country,
and it is also true that there is much
food produced and very much, of
many things for human welfare and

human comfort. .
I agree with our editor that Mr.
Slagle offers no remedy for the pres-
uent deplorable _co Vitions, but I do
not agree when he ays that shutting
on! exports Would be like cutting of!
our noses tospite our faces. If the
remedy suggested bythe editor, via:
the farmers so organized that they
could control production, were car-
ried into effect;- it would be a case of
limiting production for the sake of
securing higher prices for the things

 

produced. ‘ - « p

possible. This fbreign

market is the safety valve of our

present competitive system of in:

dustry, and when the foreign unar-
ket fails, our manufacturing estab-

lishments must close. Our manu-
facturing plants are not owned by

the men who produce, but are own-
ed by men who are interested solely
in producing goods for profit, and
profits can not be made on an ex-
clusively home market.

The re on for, needing an export
market a the present time "lies not
in the assumption that all Of the
American people, men, wOmen and
children are rbountifully supplied
with all the comforts, or even the
necessities of life. But the real rea-
son is, that being unable to sell to
our own people who are limited con-
sumers, “big business," "which owns
and controls the grain, is hard press-
ed for a market in which to dispose
of their goods. . ,

The United States is some two
hundred millions of bushels of wheat
short of a normal year. The same
is true of oats and rye. Corn was
the only normal crop of grain grown
this present year, and yet we have
the anomaly of people hungry for
bread, for meat, and are homeless,
yet anxious to work, butliving in
enforced idleness, and our jails,
prisons, asylums and sanitariums
are full to overflowing.

The deflation carried on by our
Federal Reserve Banks, has driven
thousands of farmers into bankrupt-
cy. These banks have been a large
factor in the paralysis of business,
but are not wholly responsible for
our present condition. _The capital—
ist system is unable to function, and

' can be made to do so only at the era

pense of poverty, sickness, squalor
and death of thousands of workers.
Remedy: Nationalize the land. Let
the people own the trusts, the rail-
roads, oil, coal, telegraph, telephone,
and all of the means of production,
communication and transportation.
The workers of the world in brain
or brawn, who produce all . things
should own all things, not for profit
and foreign markets, but for use. We
are maintaining vast armies of par—
asites whose lives are expensive to
the workers, because they demand
luxuries which the workers can not
obtain for themselves. . .
Until every man, woman and
child is properly housed, fed, cloth-
ed and educated, what passes for
civilization will be found to be a ve-
neer over our savagery, and our gold
and our silver will rust and our gar-
ments be moth eaten, and no apology

' can disguise the hideous fact. War,

famine, pestilence and death will
sweep away the lives of millions of
people, and the world may face again
the possibility of the return of the
Dark Ages.-_—E. H. B., Shelby, Mich.

“Many men of many-minds.”
could but agree on some of the great
world economic questions! The theories
of decapitalization, of common ownership
and use of natural resources, destroying
all profits and interest—«all have their
appeal, But when we bring them under
the microscope a thousand doubts assail
us. The theory has been put to the acid
test many times. It has always failed.
Let us'not make the mistake of blaming
our present “capitalistic” system fer all
our economic ills. We will always be

cursed with people who won't work, who .

can’t work, who are'dishOnest and weak—
minded. You may change the “system,"
but you can’t change human nature. You
may destroy capitalism but you can’t
destroy the prison. the poorhouse, the asy-
lum and the bpspiml. You will still have
need for them. Our present system needs
fixing all right. But .we don’t have to

girl went along. with .her little bare
feet that were red and blue with the
mold. She carried a number of
matches in am told apron, and she
held ‘a bundle of them in her hand.
.Nobody had bought anything from

had even given her a penny.

-.Shivering with cold and hunger,
.Ihe crept along, .a perfect picture of
misery—pour little thing! The snow-
ﬂakes covered her long, flaxen hadr,
which hung in mnetty curls round
her throat; but she heeded them not
now. Lights were streaming from
all the windows, and there was a
savory smell of roast goose; for it
was New "Year’s Eve. And this she
DID .heed.

She now sat down, cowering in a
corner formed by two houses, one
of which projected beyond the oth-
er. She had drawn ‘her little feet
alder her; but she felt colder than
eater; yet she dared not return home.
for she had not sold a match and
could not bring home a penny! She
would certainly be beaten by her
father; and it was cold enough at
home besides—for they had only the
roof above them, and the wind came
howling through it, though the larg-
est holes had been stopped up with
straw and rags. Her little hands
were nearly frozen with the cold.
Alas! a single match might do her
some good, if she might only draw
one out of the bundle, and rub it
against the wall and warm her
ﬁngers.

So at last she drew one out. Ah!
how it sheds sparks, and how it
burns! It gave out a warm, bright
ﬂame, like a little candle, as she
held her hands over it—~tru1y it was
a wonderful little sight! It really
seemed to the little girl as if she
Were sitting before a large iron stove,
with polished brass feet and brass
[hovel and tongs. The fire burned
so brightly and warmed so nicely
that the little creature stretched out
her feet to warm them likewise,
when lo! the flame expired, the
stove vanished, and left nothing but
the little half—burned match in her
hand.

She rubbed another match against
the wall. It gave a limit and Where

match then went out, and nothing
remained but the thick, damp wall.

But what if it does, what fun can you have if you do not

have a good coaster?

Think What joy the ﬁrst snowfall will bring to you if you
have a brand new FIRE FLY COASTER all ready and waiting
to carry you down the hill back of the barn at lightning speed,
one that is fast enough to Win a. race at school. ,
to stand on the side lines and watch the other boys and girls ‘.
coast down the hill in a merry race again this winter.

GET A FIRE FLY ‘ COASTER

and enjoy some real healthful sport this winter.

We have purchased a lot of FIRE FLY COASTERS to supply our
boy and girl friends and .are going to give them
single penny of expense and for only a few hours work.

The FIRE FLY COASTER has

spring steel runners, Ives-haped,
making them strong, vertically,
but ﬂexible sidewise. This en~

ables one to guide the Coaster by
the steering bar, curving the run-
ners to" the right. or left, as desir-
ed. The steering ”is thus made
easy, and is a great charm to the Coaster.

That mteﬁﬁtional Aftermnth

 

'velopment of outstanding physical WP"
faction do not often come by chanceln
the breeding of improved live stock is

fat class at Chloe-g o e mother of
this wonderful heifer, Lulu of University
Farm; -3rd. was also the mother of Cal-
ifornla Standard, the senior yearling An-
gus steer that won first in his class.'1‘he
grandmother to Lulu Mayflower, was the
mother of California. Bystander, the jun—
ior Angus calf that was made grand
champion steer of the Amgs breed; grthis
wonderful cow was also. the mother of
one grand champion and- two reserve
champions during the early history of
the International.

It was surely good to witness the smile
that spread over the genial face of Prof.
George A. Brown of the M A. 0., when
he realized that his little Angus steer
had won the grand championship of the
show in the “slaughter test.” The live
weight of this steer was 1,110 pounds
and the dressed weight. 694 pounds mak-
ing a dressing percentage of 62. 52. The
carcass was sold to S Lewin Powers
Mercantile 00., Minneapolis, for 65 cents
I per pound.

 

A remarkable demonstration of cross-
breeding was shown by B. F. Harris
Farms, Seymour Ill. Four litters of pigs,
all out of a pure-bred Tamworth hour
but from sows of a. different breed, were
shown. Two litters from Hampshire
mothers, were remarkable for their Bulb-
stance and sturdy character. but one
ter was red with white belts and the
other was black with white belts; of two"
other splendid litters shown, the pigs
from a. straight Duroc cross, wore red
and from 3. Poland China mother.
with black spots.

The University of California. was very
fortu ate this year in its winnings: in
addl ion to extended list of cattle prizes,
Osgood S. Lovekin. a. student of the Cal?
ifomia. college, won the $100 Ruth medal
which was hung up by the Saddle and
Sirloin Club for the best essay on the
live stock industry. Another California
student won the third prize: the second
and wfourth prizes went to students from
West Virginia. There were 143 essays
submitted. ’

Seven aged Angus bulls came out to
win the premier honors as a mature sire
or daddies. The winner was Prince Mar-
shall, shown by E. E Blanford. of Hay-
ward, Okla. The Blanford bull was
given the grand championship honors for
the breed. Never before. in the history
of the show, did so many high class and
absolutely typy young cattle show up in
the various Angus classes.

The auction sale of Shorthoms pﬁived
to be a. wonderful success the average for
14 bulls being $694 and for 37 females
$639. The highest priced anmial was
Countess Vesta, the Grand Champion
heifer of the show, Which was bought by

Buckland Hall for $2, 400. The highest
priced bull brought $1, 800 ‘
The Hubly Angus yearling steers

brought $40 per cwt. and were bought
for Mose Greenwald to be divided be-
tween the Sullivan Beef Co., of Detroit
and the Old Dutch Market, Washington.
D. C. ”These wonderful cattle averaged
1,078 pounds, it will be seen. then, that
each of these steers brought $43180.

C, H. Prescott & Sons may well feel
proud of the record they made at Chi-
cago. In the class for junior yearling
bulls, Richland Augustus, a. beautiful
roan with a. red neck won first. In the
junior fat steer class the Prescott .entry
Richland Eclipse, easily Won first prize.
A,junor yearling heifer. Richland 13.3310
and a junior bull calf. Richland Auto-
crat each won fourth prize. A senior
yearling heifer, Fanny B 44th and a jun-
ior heifer calf, Cherry Bloom ‘3rd, each
got 13th place in,t.helr,, respective classes.

The Carr Bros., Bad Axe, made some
very good sales from their show herd
cattle at the International. ' they sold a
young bull for $1,500 ‘to a. Canadian
breeder and a heifer in the auction for
$475, Bloomdale Leader. the junior
champion bull of the show, was also sold
to J. W. -McDermott, Kanoka, M0” the
price received for the last mentioned an-
imal was not given out but was said to
be around $5, 000. ,3

 

As an illustration of the strength of
many of the calf and yearling classes at
this year's show it may be of interest to
mention that in the class for senior
Shorthorn yearlings, 78 entrien faced the
judge. Any of the animals. that showed
up in this ring, were good enough to head
a. class at an average county fair. Vint
female at last fall' 3 Michigan State Fair.
got sixth place in Chicago. Bloomdale
Mix-amal- which was sooondto Vint Hill
inthe class contest at Detroit was

placed in 10th position. at Chleego. ,,

TRADE AND BUSINESS REVIEW
S the end of the year approaches.
business prospects are” bright:
ening in all departments of hur
man, endeavor. Roger Babson re-
ports a gradual increase in the vol-
ume of purchasing; the retail sales
for November and. thus far in Dec-
ember, indicate a trade equaling
fully 80 per cent of the same month’s
showing last year. The outlook in
the textile districts of the east is
improving rapidly, the demand for
woolen goods showing more activity
than for a long time. Christmas
buying, along all lines is just about
equal to that of last year; increased
activity in this departunent of the
trade ~is expected as the holiday
draws nearer. Selling prices for
nearly all staple commodities are
gradually working higher; cotton is
ﬁrm and steady, wool is ﬁrm but
hardly so active as on this day last
week.

Steel and pig iron are ﬁrm but
rather dull with only a few new
orders asking for immediate deliv-
ery. Business experts, the world
over, are looking for a gradual re-
covery beginning with the advent of
the new year and becoming nor-
mal time in September, next year.
The stock market continues strong
as to values but hardly as active as
on the opening of the current month.
The demand for bond issues is not
nearly as strong as formerly, prob-
ably, owing to a widespread belief
that, sooner or later, the status of
many of the issues, that are at pres-
ent exempt from taxation will be
changed by the enactment of a law
placing these securities on the tax
rolls.

As time goes on it becomes more
and more apparent that thousands
of our western and middle west
farmers must be given adequate ex-
tension of credits or they will be
forced into bankruptcy. The War
Finance body has just finished the
placing of another seven million dol-
lars in loans; this organization has
placed a large amount of money
with farmers but when it is all sum-
med up it is but a drop in the buck-
et. There is need for a refunding
system in connection with the farm-
er’s obligations, which will give him
ttme to meet his debts. The farmer
is not asking for charity but in view
of the tremendous odds against him.
he simply pleads for time in which
to earn and save money enough to
pay of! his pressing obligations and
a little left to help to ﬁnance his new
farming enterprises.

We look for wheat
to sink still lower before the first of
the year. Most of the news is bear-
ish and the holidays are never friend-

still prevails in many parts of Kan-
sas and Nebraska though other sec-
tions of the grain belt have received
copious rains and the outlook is bet-
ter. Harvesting is in full swing in
the southern hemisphere, but no of-
ficial estimates are yet available of
the yield. Elsewhere growing con-
ditions have improved and there is

heavy receipts and prices declined
from 1c to 2c the co ntry over. Re-
ceipts at primary ints were the
largest in 10. years and considerable
was sent to store. The total amount
received at Chicago amounted to
6,506,000 bushels, against 1,324,-
000 bushels] a year ago_ Domestic
demand was of fair volume and ex-
porters were regular purchasers in
the market. Dealers are not trying
very hard to sell their stocks as they
are looking for a heavy demand this
winter especially from Europe and
it is their belief that prices will
make a turn upward before long.
The market is full of those who be-
lieve in higher prices but the lib-
eral receipts turned the market
against them last week. Roads are
getting in bad condition and no
doubt the movement from farm to
market will soon show a decline. On
Monday of the present week receipts
continued large and prices declined
at Detroit but the strength in wheat
caused the Chicago market to gain.
Export business is fine. .

OATS

Oats will not reach the 50-cent
mark as we have been predicting, by
the first of the year. The failure of
the market to respond to the known
shortage of supplies has merely been
in keeping with the general sluggish
tone of all grain markets the past
several months, and the huge vis-

. ditions are the same.

ant price changes. Higher potatoes
would probably result in higher
beans, but with so many men out of
employment it is impossible for fore-
cast such high prices as would be in-
evitable on such short crops if times
were normal. However, the bean is
still a very cheap and popular art-
icle of diet, and cannot long remain
at their present low level.

had so far this winter has hinder

prices advance. At Detroit standard

LIVE STOCK MARKETS

An oversupplyin'all of the diner»
ant ‘departments of the live stock
markets of the country, during lad
week, caused a big drop in prices for
all grades of killing stock. Stockerl
and feeders in the cattle department
and all grades of feeding stock' in
the sheep and lamb departments,
have been active in all markets and
bid fair to continue so throughout
“the winter months. .

Chicago got 69,600 cattle, last
week, which was a gain over the
week before of 4,600. The; bearim
element in the situation was the

over-abundance of short-Jed M

that is coming forward, about 'two
months before maturity. Very few
ﬁnished steers are found in current
arrivals, a fact that makes it noses;
sary for killers to be content with
animals which but poorly meet
needs of their trade. ,

Eastern dressed beef markets were,

dull and slow all last week, many at
'the‘smailer firms in all markets be-
ing unable to kill cattle because, of
the labor strike.
the week in Chicago for
steers was $11 per cwt_; heavy steers
were dull and slow. steers averag-
ing 1,150 pounds brought
around $9.75; heavier kinds were
from‘,$1 to $1.50 lower ’ihan those
mentioned above.
Decliningwprices for
lambs have been the rule around the
market circle for several dayi
the chief causes being an inc ‘

supply and a falling at in shipping 1

demand. The week’s total sheep]
and lamb supply in eleven markets
was 40,000 head larger than that
of the week’ before. One of the lead-
ing features of the week’s business
was a marked narrowing of. the
spread between fat stock and feed-

ing lambs; the. week closed with ﬁle j
latter selling with a ten-dollar {:3 ;

while $10.25 was high for the
kind. Handy weight fat as are

. selling fairly well but at prices about.

50 cents lower than those inwogua
at the beginning of last
weight sheep are a drug on the mais-~
ket, selling'at $3 to $3.50 per cwt..
whenever buyers can be found. much
higher prices are looked I
as the oversupply is worked 01. -

Pinclmey, Mich. Mr. Lapham show-
ed Buff Leghorns and Bull! Plymouth

the Leghorn division the Lapham
entries won as follows: 1—2 on old
pen; 2 on young pen; 3-4 on hens:

conventions and finally crystallized
into a force at the Flint convention
which Mr. Helms with all his fol-
lowing could not overcome. A sharp
and prolonged debate was held over
the resolution to take the Patron
from his hands, and the resolution
was finally adopted by a very narrow
margin. The Patron will henceforth
be edited under the direction of the
Master, Lecturer and Secretary.
Strong Legislative Program

The second liveliest debate of the
entire convention centered about the
report of the legislative committee
of which B. E. Klee of Hfllsdale was
chairman. Mr. Kies formerly farm-
ed in Kansas and has the deep west,
crn hatred of everything that brooks
of intolerance and oppression. The
program which he presented before
the State Grange fairly bristled with
progressive recommendations, most
of which were adopted. The various
planks in the adopted report are
printed elsewhere in this issue.

The report of the State Lecturer
lira Dora Stockman touched upon
the development of the home mar-
ket for farm products enforcement
of the prohibition law, beneﬁts that
may be secured thrOugh the U S
Bureau of Markets, opposition to tax-
exempt bonds, and a tax on gasoline.

in a most interesting report, called

attention to the fact that the child-»

run of workers in the Michigan beet
fields are obliged to lose consider
able schooling in both the spring
and fall. and asked why the school
law was not enforced in this respect
as in others -

N. P. Hull of Lansing, A. W.

BY TIMELY AID

Jacob Germann of Farmingdale. 11L, tells of
his experience with cow ailment: much th.
same as hundreds of others who take th-
trouble to write us every year. He says:

"I had three cows this Spring. one had
target and one had milk fever, and one
was done up completely from calving and
could not get up or walk and I had a vet-
erinarian with no good results. I began
feeding Kow-Ksre and she is able to so to
pasture with the other cows now. I just
know I would have lost the three if I had
not had your medicine."

D. B. Thomas of Knightvﬂle. Utah, had an
experience with a barren cow that is just
like scores of others who have kept cows on :
paying basis with the aid of Kow- Kare. H.
writes:

"Had a valuable Jersey cow eight years
old that had had seven calves. Something
went wrong with her after her last calf
came. so that for two years she failed to
become with calf. Fed her some of your
Kev-Kare last January and she was all
right the ﬁrst serving, and long before I
had given her the whole package of your
Kev-Kare that I purchased.”
