WOOL INTERESTS DIVIJJED ON
I TARIFF _

~ EPRESENTATI‘VES oi the vari-

ous branches of the wool in-

dustry who appeared recently

before the senate finance committee

were unable to agree upon the de-

gree of protection Which the indus—_

try should have from foreign compe-
tition. Furniers' representatives
have asked for a tariii of 33 cents
per clean pound. Most of the manu-
iacturers are “opposed -‘to 7150 high ‘a
duty, claiming that the emergency
tariff has already depleted the supply
of certain kinds of wool to a serious
degree. The carded wool branch of
the industry argue that ‘a 60 per
cent advalorem duty is high enough,
but the growers maintain that this is
not suﬂicient protection and argue
that 'the tariff Should be speciﬁc.
Today American farmers are :pro-
«ducing<about 300,000,000 pounds or
wool “which is onlyia’bofut one-half or
the domestic consumption. ‘An "ade—
quate tax-fir “will, it is the belief of
mowers’ representataives, enable
American ‘Wool {growers to increase
the domestic 'supply -to somewhere
near the «domestic demand.

‘ §Wi§nter Review of the Potato Market

Unless all“ Signs Fail Potato Prices are Due for a Strong Advance

N NOVEMBER let the editor received the
5following anxious inquiry from a. potato
producer in Cass county:

“Would like to know personally what you
think about potatoes. Looks pretty discouraging
just now. I have a pit of 1,000 bushels and have
been planning heavily on this as a mortgage
lifter. Was offered $1 per bushel once but was
too busy to load them. Now can’t get 75 cents.
Aren’t there more potatoes in the country than
the government repo 5? There are more here.
in this vicinity than st year“ Must be 5,000
bushels of potatoes Within two miles of here. I
don’t like to bury mine" for the winter as I haven’t
much to cover such a large pit with. The market
surely doesn’t l‘Ook like scarcity. No one sold
around here. People begin to talk cheap pota—
toes in the spring already. . Have been counting
on your reports in the paper and am hoping they
Vvill prove O. K."

Isn’t that a poser? Here is a man who places
conﬁdence- in your judgment. He asks for an
opinion. On that opinion he proposes to make
the sale of his potatoes upon which hinges the
lifting of the mortgage. Your heart yearns to
help that man and thousands like him. But you
cannot know to a certainty Whatcourse the pota-
to markej; Will take; you can only gather all the
facts inthe case, survey them through the light.
of, past. experience and hazard an,opinion which
may be no better than the next man’s. If the

only to ﬁnd too late. that your advice has cost

have taken the same course anyway. If" he acts
as you advise and he goes wrong, you get the

But the temptation to help is strong. You
have certain convictions about themarket which
you believe are right and if they are right you
want to. see other people proﬁt by those con—
victions. So you say your prayers. twice, draw
up your will and let ’er go. And thisis what we.
advised our Cass county subscriber to do:

“You little realize what a tremendousburden
of responsibility you attempt to place on us when
you ask for our personal opinion on the potato
market. We have expressed ourselve. so clearly on
this subject in previous issues of the M. B. F.
that there. shouldabe. no doubt in your mind but
what we thinkspotatoes are going to be-somewhat
higher than they are now. It’is, true that the
outlook isnotvery encouraging. ’ It is true that
there appears to be more potatoes inthe country
thanindicataed by the October, ﬁrst estimate, but
you must remember that this apparent increase
in the supply is offsetrto a considerablmextent

Caution: In applying above comparisons to current

production and prices, do not lose sight of the fact
that population has increased and that many moro
potatoes are needed now than ten or even five years
ago. The 1920 census figures gave our population in
round numbers as 107 millions which is an increase of
14 millions or 15 per cent over 1910. Each year we
must produce a, few more potatoes to take care of our
increasing population_ ’

 

 

350,000,000 bushels with the production in other
years. Obviously we cannot compare it with
1919, because that was a year of high prices all
along the line. During that year, however, we
produced 355,000,000 bushels of potataoes, which
on November first were worth at the farm, $1.52
and on the following June ﬁrst, were worth $4.21
per bushel. Let us take a more comparable case.
In 1915, before we began to feel the real effects
of the. war, we produced 359,000,000 bushels of
potatoes. On November ﬁrst the average price to
farmers throughout the country was 60.8 cents
per. bushel. On May ﬁrst.the price was 94.8 cents
and on June ﬁrst, 98.8 cents. Now it is apparent
that this year we will produce below' that amount,
which in itself is a bull factor. We must take
into considerataion of course the present ﬁnancial
depression. That will sutﬁice to keep p‘otato
prices from going to any extraordinary heights
despite the smallness of the crop.

“On 'the other side, however, we have a large
increase in population. There are probably ﬁf—
teen million more people in the United States to-
day than there were in 1915. Suppose there are
1’10 per cent more. That means that at the same
per capita rate we would have to grow this year
about 390,000,000 bushels of potatoes to feed
them all at the same prices which were paid in
1915. Unemployment and high prices are going
to prevent people, from eating as many potatoes
as normally, but it is our unbiased conviction
that if our total production falls below 350,00,000
the price to the farmer must be considerably
higher next spring than it is now.

“How high they will go is a question. We
doubt very much if farmers in the so—called
potato belt will receive more than $2.00 per
bushel, but. we see no reason why farmers in the.
southernpart of the state located as you are near
Kalamazoo, and, other large cities, should not
receive more than this sun; by May or June of
the coming year. A great many potatoes have
been shipped from the farms, the largest move—
meat» for this period ever recorded by the Bureau
of'Markets. That-alsoxis a bull factor, and we are
afraid that when, springopens up most of the
farmers. will; have: sold— their potatoes at prices

r'v

less than the cost of production, and that wise

dealers who have laid them in stock will be able-
torisell at substantial margins over the purchase
p ce.

“Now, this is our opinion, you can take it or
leave it. We hesitate to give it to you because
we realize how much every farmer needs every
cent he can get from his crops this year and ms
know that if our opinion does not prove true, and
you axle eventually forced to sell your potatoes
for less than you could get for them today, you
are nataurally going to feel rather harsh toward
us, but the ﬁgures we have given are as authentic
as can be procured and we see no reason, despite
the uncertainity of the times, why one cannot
be justified in drawing the conclusions above
stated. It will be only a few daays before the
government’s October ﬁrst estimate is out, and
we would wait until that time and take a chance
of perhaps a lower market, which we yet see be-
fore cold weather comes on. if the October ﬁrst
estimate shows a much larger production than
now indicated it might be wise for you to sell
although that would still be an open question.
Certainly, if the production does not exceed
350,000,000 in our judgment you should store
your potatoes on the farm or better still in the
nearest warehouse available."

Since the above was written the potato market
has gone through many vicissitudes. The" Nov-
vember crop report increased the estimate over:
October by about ten million bushels. The
weather was fairly warm during November and-
the ﬁrst part of December. The ﬁnancial situa-
tion was bad; unemployment increased. Pﬁces
of other food products came down. Farmers,
forced to liquidate their debts, had to sell their
spuds. No more bearish situation ima inable
could have existed. The market weakenej some,
but not materially. As the holidays approached
shipments fell off and consumers found them-
selves in need of supplies. The weather turned
colder. The December ﬁnal came out revising
the estimate downward again, with a total esti—
matedproduction which is the second smallest
since 1913.

lesult: Today, Jan. 2nd, the potato market
has lost its weakness and prices range from 20
to 40 cents per cwt., at jobbing centers over a
fortnight ago; This jobbing strength has not
yet perceptibly affected the price to the farmer,“

but it must sooh. ’

As to the future! No one can say. The.
government report can now be taken as substanJ
tially'correct. The actual may be a few million
bushels above or below the estimate, but it can,
hardly be enough more or less to inﬂuence the
price materially. The little table on. this: pm
shows what potato prices have been in, thehgbﬁ.
of doing when the crop was below normal. If'thas
reader will just jot down. these compariSons,_
apply them to the present year, and give-caretngrl

consideration to the general bUS'lReSBé depreﬁmllai, _‘

he cannot go far wrong. on. the potato market“k

The paralyzingefmct of'tho sudden drop in
Prices last year: is: wearing off, and farmers
will, enter, the new year. more hopefully, be-
lieving that the worstdsover.

Congress has indicated a willingness to
enact legislation which promises to be helpful.

Farmers are coming to see more clearly that
the task of putting farming on a sound bus-
iness basis is really up to them and that thru
organization they can reduce marketing costs.
In;th.i they will have increasing help from the
Department of Agriculture and the various
state agricultural colleges which now, see bet-
ter thanbefore that they must give the farm-
er the same sort of help 1n,the marketing of
his crops that. they have been giving him in
the production. - i '

In the industrial and financial centers there
is. coming to be a better understanding of the

important part the fanncr plays in our-«gen.»
eral
decidedly more intelligent and:sympathetxic ate
titudo toward him and his‘problems.

\thh prices of farm products falling and
the future very uncertain, even those farmers
who had money laid by—and there are a large
number of such—have been restricting their
buying to what they had to have. Now with
the growing belief that prices have hit bot-
tom, buying will be resumed and should; in»
crease in volume. ,

Everything considered. therefore, we can .
enter the new year in a spirit of hopefulnesss-i r
and good cheer. I see nothing which. ind“, 
cates boom times. for the farmer in the. near, , 
future, but there does seem. to be promise. of.
bettertimes both for the farmer and for those" -~
whose business is largely dependent upon him.

EN WELL—VERSED in business ethics, real-
ize, that in the course of human events
:11 opportuntiy frequently presents itself to the
provident and forehanded among us, which may
properly be called the physchological moment
to buy or sell. Times of ﬁnancial and business
depression, like those that this country is passing
thru now, are cited as golden opportunities to
purchase staple commodities and the operator
is termed~.extremely lucky who has waited for
such an occasion. It may be taken as a self—
cvident fact, however, that no man can be called
lucky or fortunate, to whom such an opportunity
comes, unless he has the good judgment to act
at the right time.

For more than a year, a common saying has
been going the rounds, in live-stock circles, to
the effect, that the present is a much better
time to buy than to sell improved live-stock;
until recently, comparatively few could be feund
who were willing to take this, statement at its
face value and act upon the suggestion. As a
naturaliresult, there is good reason to believe
that men who are still in need of foundation
stock, as a basis for a pure—bred herd, have
slightly “out—stayed” the market. All kinds of
breeding stock is from 15 to 25 per cent higher
than it was two months ago. Pure-bred cows
and heifers, of either the beef or dairy breeds,
are, selling at public auction for prices that
range from $50 to $100 higher than at the be-
ginning of the fall auction season; even grade
cows of common quality are $10 to $25 higher
than on November 1.

Demand for Dairy Cattle

Probably, the most notable evidence of an
increased activity in the demand for pure—bred
cattle has developed in connection with recent
auction sales of Holstein cattle. One of the ﬁrst
indications of this improvement was noticed in
connection with the State Association sale at
Jackson, on November 18; the next eye—opener
came when the auction sale of llolsteins at Lake
Odessa, on Friday, December 16, made such a
From the outset, a difference
was noted in the tone of the bidding at the last
mentioned sale, when compared with the auction
offerings that preceded it.

When the ﬁrst cow was led into the ring, the
auctioneer, Col. l). ]. Perry, made a short opening
address the tone of which indicated that he
scented something in the air that meant for bet-

ter business; hardly had the closing words of
that address, dropped from the veteran sales—
man's lips, when the bidding began with an

energy and activity entirely new to the auction

Recent Sales of Pure-Bred Cattle well Attended and Prices Bid Highe§t in’pve}

 

 

FORE‘VARNED IS FOREARMED

1‘ ACK SAYS higher values for pure
(I: bred stock are on the way. In
fact, they are actually here, for at
recent auction sales he has attended bid- v
ing has been more spirited and prices paid
have been higher than for many months.
Mack attributes this to two things: First,
to the rapidly growing feel that the “worst
is over” and the time to buy has come.
Second, to the new demand for pure-bred
breeding stock that has developed in the
far Western states. Mack believes that
farmers who desire to get into the pure-
bred live—stock game will never ﬁnd a more
opportune time than the present. - Invest-
ments in pure-bred cattle now should re-
turn tho purchaser handsome dividends
within a year or two. “The farmer of
modest means” says Mack, “who can
afford to purchase only two animals
should buy a pure-bred bull and a pure-
bred cow, unrelated. By this method he
will not only improve the average quality
of his cattle but will soon have a basis
for a pure-bred herd.”—Editor.

 

 

business of the current year. The sale moved
forward, quietly, until the famous cow, Weedie
Queen De Kol was led into the ring, when sud-
denly, as if by magic, an old—time interest and
enthusiasm developed that put an entirely new
face on the situation. Bids, came thick and fast,
from every quarter of the tent, until $1,200 was
reached; after that the pace was a bit slower
until an offer of $1,500, from E. M. Bayne, of
Detroit and Romeo, turned the trick. The opera-
tion was repeated with slight variation, in“ the
sale of a- daughter of Weedie Queen to the same
buyer for the same price. '

When the big crowd of admirers of the black
and white cattle which were packed into the
tent at. Lake Odessa on that disagreeable winter
day, realized that two cows, one of them only
two years old, had just sold for $3,00Q the
excitement was intense. In view of the fact that
many of the animals sold were young calves and
junior yearlings, the prices secured were con-
sidered very satisfactory. That this sale marked
the turning point in the»trade in pure-bred dairy

cattle in Michigan, is now universally c0nceded._

change? Many valid reasons can be assigned.
In the ﬁrst place, 'all thru the months of early
winter, the state has been- “combed” by the pur-
chasers of grade Holstein cows for points near to
the Atlantic seaboard; it is estimated that fully
25 carloads of grade niilch cows Were shipped
east from Livingston and Ingham counties alone.
Reports from the corn belt and the country far-
ther west indicate a marked scarcity of milch
cows. The activities of the War Finance Corp—
oration, resulting in the disbursement of a large

amount of money among western and middle}

west farmers, has caused thousands of cattle to
be taken out of the market; more than that,
the availability of mbney referred to, has result-
ed in making would-be buyers out of many fa m-
ers that had hitherto been crowding their hold-
ings of cattle into a market already oversupplied.
Every day reports of sales of pure—bred Holstein
cows, at prices running well up into four ﬁgures,
are coming to hand.
lish pure—bred herds of dairy cattle, realize that
there is no time to be lost.

The Beef Cattle Situation.

|

Recent sales of pure~bred beef cattle have re-
sulted in much higher averages than were‘looked
for and men, who have been watching quotations
from the leading cattle markets of the country,
are wondering how anyone could have the nerve
to undertake the breeding of beef producers
when steers are selling so outrageously low. The
men, who are buying breeding cattle of the beef
breeds, have ample faith in the future of the
fat cattle business. They realize the accuracy
of the old saying that “it is always darkest just
before the dawn" and they are wisely making
ready for the dawn. Experience has taught them
that one extreme follows another in the live stock
business; they are measuring the stroke of the
pendulum on the decline with the positive assur-
ance thaw it will go just as far the other way
when the tide turns. ‘ ~

Cattle production in 'North America, Canada
and Mexico has dwindled during the last ﬁve
years to the lowest record that has been known
in 50 years. If censumption of beef had been
normal during the last twelve months, this coun-
try would have been up against a shortage the
like of which was never before known. When
the grass begins to rise, next spring, a shortage
of feeding cattle will develop; just about that
time, the crop of steers, now on corn, will be
well forward and the “easy picking” in the cat-
tle business will be OVer. During the ﬁrst eleven
months of the current year, 10 of the leading
live stock markets of the (Continued' on page 21‘)

ing on to engage your atten-
tion, of which we shall have
more to say in a later issue.
'A separate series of meet—
ings will be held for the we-

‘ HE GROWEH of co-operative marketing in

Michigan has been remarkable. Through it
farmers are more and more getting relief
from bad economic situations, and are lessening
the chances of avoidable loss in their business.
Every co-operative enterprise, to survive, must

tle if any of the extra amount. However, later
on when the price was again reduced to ten
cents, the farmer received his cut in proportion,
or rather, more than his proportion.

The other cause was the success which the
ﬁfty farmers were having in the same problem
with their Muskegon Height’s (To-operative Dairy.
Demonstration is a Wonderful method of teach-
ing, and when we see someone else getting out
of a rut by doing a certain thing, we wonder why
we can’t do it too.

Finally things seemed to be well set for the
start, and a meeting of the producers of the
Muskegon territory was held on August 26.
About seventy—ﬁve were present, and after a
thorough discussion of the matter, a committee
on membership and organization was appointed
and another meeting called for September 6.
At this time over sixty producers had signed a
preliminary agreement and tentative articles of
association and by—laws were discussed, which
were adopted at the next meeting, September 9.
A board of nine directors was elected and em—
powered to draw up plans for a dairy plant. This
was the ’birth of the Muskegon Farmers’ (lo—oper—
ative Dairy.

The membership fee was set at $200, the ﬁrst
half to be paid in at the time of signing, and
the other $100 payable upon thirty days notice
by the board of directors. It was agreed that
fifty members should have paid in their first
$100 before the contract for the building was
let. This goal was reached the last of October,

   

The building is of brick and concrete, With‘
large steel sash, giving plenty of light. It is 40
x 80 feet, and of two story height back 60 feet.;
The office is at the front on the ground floor,
Back of this is the main work room and cooler,
and back of these in the one—story part are the
boiler, wash, and storage rooms. Over the of-
fice is the cheese working room, over the cool-
er another large room, and the other section of
the upper floor is the pasteurizer room. The
main work room extends up two stories, giving
better ventilation and working conditions. Spec—
ial attention was given to cutting down the labor
in handling the milk. When it comes to the re«
ceiving platform it is emptied into a vat from
which it is pumped to the pasteurizers on, the
second floor. From here it runs by gravity down
over the cooler to the bottlcr on the main floor
beneath_ From the bottling department the
cases are moved but a few feet into the cooler
from which they are delivered to the wagons.
The empty cans go direct from the receiving
platform into the wash room and are delivered
to the wagons at the rear. This means that the

milk will be handled with the least amount of
lifting and other labor, Mr. Orval (‘. White,
the contractor, has covopcrntcd with the board

shown a steady growth. Four
routes are maintained, and a ready

market has been found for all but— :

ter, buttermilk and cottage gheese manufactured.
The members have received more than they did
from private distributors, besides paying on their
own plant, and what in the long run is even more
important, they are sure of a steady market for
all- their milk. As a result the business of pro-
ducing milk has become more stable and members
have increased their herds.

These producers all live south“ of Muskegon
and Muskegon Heights. For some time there
has been agitation among the producers to the
north and east, who furnish the bulk of Mus-
kegon’s milk supply, for some such organization.
Q‘wo years ago an attempt was made in that di—
rection, but at the critical moment enough of
' the producers were induced to enter into a prop-
" osition of one of the distributing companies to
disrupt the plans, and nothing more was done.
However, the desire for better control of the
marketing of their milk did not die, and matters
were again brought to a head the latter part of
the summer through two main causes_ The ﬁrst
was the very unsatisfactory marketing situa-
tion. The price the larger distributors paid the
producers was lowered until it became an alto-
gether unjust proportion of the prices paid by
the consumer. Some of the distributors, during
the time of summer surplus, told the producers
to keep their milk at home certain days, and with
no means of disposing of the uncertain amounts
thus erratically left‘on, his hands, the man with
the cows suffered a real loss. Other distribut—
ors paid a very low price for the milk which they
did not market as whole milk, making the return
inadequate even on a butterfat basis. The lat—
ter part of the summer the. price of milk to._the
consumer was raised from 'ten to twelve cents a.
quart, The reason for this advance was given
by the distributors as being the fact that. it cost

‘ ‘ the farmer» more to" feed because . of' ” the dry .'

weather and, lack of pasture. Naturally the con-
sumer supposed that— this extra two cents would
go to the producer, inasmuch as. the cost of diss

after four years of study and trial. I considered
at that time that I had the cream of what the

HIGH TAXES
N THE December 3rd issue of the
1 Business Farmer you stated that
when a farmer paid taxes he was
buying good roads, education, pro-
tection from criminals, and a lot
of other bunk. Now don’t you think
at the present rate of taxation he is
paying an almighty- high price for
it? You also stated that taxes were
not coming down for some time. If
such is the case please tell us farmers
how we are going to pay them. It
already looks as if the majority of
farmers will go broke by the time
their taxes are paid this year.—J. R.
Smith, Ionia County, Mich.

Had you read the editorial aright you
wouldn’t have found it necessary to ask
me the above question. The purpose of
the editorial was to impress you and
other readers with the fact that you are
paying high for the good roads, educa-
tion, etc._ which you are buying. I repeat
that taxes are not coming down for a
long time, IF the contemplated projects of
state and, counties are carried out to the
letter. It remains with you voting tax-
payers to say whether they shall be
carried ouL—«Editor.

AUTUMN SNOW

HITEST snow through stretch-

es of red-brown fern and
L brakes, red-brown oaks, red-
brown laurel swamps; white poplar
shapes and whiter birches; pines
in masses of somber green against
the white and brown; the wastes
reaching on to drifts of purple hills
against a slaty sky. Tangles of
tamarack, balsam, cedar, spruce
along singing brooks and about
steely lakes. Tall gray columns of
ruined pines, each stressed to its
height by its line of clinging snow.
Unfenced, a white cleared field with
.great stumps in white and gray. A
lifeless rough board shack, the win-
dows broken, black paper shreds
streaming from wall and roof. Again,
the waste; then woven wire;
hardy cattle and hardier sheep
browsing in brush and snow. A white
cleared field with great roots in
great snowy piles; smoke from the
chimney of a wee shingled home.
Within, wife and children, warmth,
courage, cheer. Such folk abide,
winnowed by hardness; no soft folk;
sound grain. Our gracious frontier
gives their comradeship, gives them
blessed freedom, visions, hope. No
weak war is theirs against chaos for
God's kingdom. Still may wayfar-
ers see this chimney with its banner
of smoke.-—~David Clay (Michigan)

 

 

“THE TWILIGHT ZONE”

OUR EDITORIAL of December
i 3rd on “State Taxes" appeals to
L me profoundly. In fact, as I
read your publication, though not
myself a farmer today, I am often
deeply impressed with the sanity of
your views, and” particularly with
the name of a farmer paper which
recognizes the business character of
farming. My Uncle Ben in Minne-
sota, with whom I have often toiled
and sweat in the open field, taught
me, in my boyhood, what is far more
true today than it was then: the big
problem in farming is business man-
agement, not bone labor or perspir-
ation.

As farmers who are business men
are today taking an intensive view
of the problems of government and
"are facing those problems from the
standpoint of business, as affecting
their business they must be inter-
ested in your discussion of State
Taxes and: of other kinds of taxes.
When you say, however, that the
average farmer is not sufficiently
careful in buying with taxes the
forms of service that government
furnishes him, I am inclined to think
you have limited too much the range
of your statement. Is not this true
of the average taxpayer, whether in
couhtry or city? There is probably
no problem in government diatom--
cult of. solution-than that of the in-
cidence of taxation, or who pays the

final tax.” It is like chasing a needle —

in the haystack. But an equally dit-
ﬂcuit problem is that otthe uni-
versal carelessness, indifference or
~ ignorance: of: taxpayers (regarding
“their tax fter it is paid. '
it While you are

“County.”
Representing the committee of dis—
interested citizens who have spent
two or three years in study of the
Michigan problem, I venture to util-
ize your space for the privilege of
calling attention of your readers to

government, called the

the proposal for a constitutional
amendment which, according to well
informed public officials, ought to
relieve some of the taxpayer’s bur-
den due to unbusinesslike methods
of county administration.

It is reported that most of the
rural counties are satisfied with
their present conditions and do not
seek any charge. In fact, from some
rural counties we get the message
that there is likely to be stiff oppo-
sition even to a consideration of any
change. Why this should be true is
hard to understand unless opponents
are afraid to let the people of Mich-
igan or of any given county have the
facts and express themselves at the
polls.

The whole plan is overflowing
with hurdles, difficulties, checks and
popular referendums. It cannot be
considered as a state issue until
105,000 signatures are secured to
initiatory petitions. It cannot be
adopted in the state except by ma—
jority vote of all voters in the state

in November, 1922‘. It cannot move
hand or foot "in the state until the
legislature of 1923 has passed laws
in harmony with the amendment.
Even after the legislature has acted
it cannot take effect in a Single coun-
ty of Michigan until a majority'of
the taxpayers and voters in such
county have voted to try the sug-
gested' plan.

From the standpoint of the tax-
payers alone, would it not be worth
while to have a little light turned
on the whole situation through the
medium of the Michigan Business
Farmer. If the people can get the
facts through such invaluable agen-
cies of public information as your
paper, no one need worry as to the
results—W. P. Lovett, Campaign
Manager, Committee on Reorganiza-
tion of County Government in Mich-
igan.

The facts are what we and our read-
ers want. As we have said before, “if
commission form of government means
lower taxes and greater efficiency in the
county we want it. If it doesn’t we don’t.
We intend to inform ourselves and our
readers upon this plan that we may be
guided intelligently when called to vote

upon the. matter. Your views and oth-
er’s are invited.——Editor.

received my ﬁrst schooling there,

Would rather my children would at-

the eighth grade than the city school
through the same grades.

I agree with Mr. Johnson that
we should have some additions to
our educational system. The one
most forcibly brought to mind just
noW is that the teacher should be
morally, physically and educational-
1y qualified to teach the grades they
are hired to teach, or else the super-
intendent of public instruction
should be compelled to revoke his or
her certiﬁcate. Under the present
laW he Will not do it. As the law is
today, the superintendent of public
instruction and state normal heads
control the teachers and their sal—
aries. The teacher very often is
a poor one and the people have no
redress. I think the teacher should
be bound to give reasonably good
satisfaction as a teacher, just as

LIABLE FOR BALANCE ‘DUE

In Aug” 1920  auto sales company of
Ann Arbor sold us a sixnpassenger car
taking our Ford as $400 dollars payment
and $115 cash, leaving 'a balance of $1,-
000. They took our note for 6 months
on their own note form with no collateral
for security. The only security they had
was the car, the title of which was to
remain in their name. Before the six
months were up prices dropped and we
realized we never could make pawnent
on the note so we wrote these people and
told them they could have the ‘car as we
couldn’t pay for it. They came down
here to see us a few days before the 'note
Was due and flatly refused to take the
car. They finally arranged to renew
the note for 3 months, During that
time We tried all eyer to sell the car in
order to meet'the note and failed. so we
took the car back 'to them. They took
the ear and asked us to 'sign 1a note for
sixty days while they sold the car. There
was no written or oral agreement re—
garding the selling of the car. They said
they would sell the car to cover the note.
They did not agree to give us the amount
they received over the face ‘of the note.
A month ago they wrote us saying that
they were ditching the bar at $600 which
meant a loss at $400 and wanted us to
stand one—half of that or $200 and $70
interest. Now they threaten us with le-
gal action to get settlement; Can they
make us pay the difference7—C. K.,
Belleville, Mich.

‘ They were not obliged to accept
the car in return for the note. When
you signed the note you made a
promise to pay the amount of the
note which they might enforce ir-
respective of the reservation of the
title of the car. As they ‘did not
seize the car by virtue of their con-
tract in the note retaining title they
acted as your agent in selling of the
car and I ‘am of the opinion that
they would be authorized to endorse
the amount of the sale upon the note
and recover the balance from you.——-

- BEE KEEPING BOOKS

Where can I purchase a book on bee-
keeping and how to make my o‘vvn bee-
hives?—.-A. R... Allen. Michigan.

’There are many good books on
the market pertaining to this sub-
ject, but it is not necessary to buy
them in order to get the desired in-
formation. Both the M. A. 0., East
Lansing and the U. S. Department
of Agriculture have published excel-
lent treaties upon the subject and
we have asked the latter to send you
such bulletins as they now have
available. If these do not give you
what you want write us again—Ed—

CANNOT DRAIN LAND

Wish your advice on where can we put
in this claim-to have it adjusted. There
is a big state ditch about 40 rods west
of my farm. In order to get benefit from
this I ‘must have an outlet through a
culvert under a road. The farms east
of mine all drain onto mine and altho
I have ditches through and around my
land there is water standing so deep I
can't get my corn fodder, In fact, about
5 acres all told is -_under water. I have
talked with the road commissioners and
all they say is they will see and they do
nothing further. This culvert is neces-
sary to me and the farms north and east
of me. Where can I go or write to have
this culvert put 1113—41. H. 1., Caro, Mich.

Your neighbor would have no
right to dig ditches or furrows upon
their premises that would father the
water in unusual quantities or
quicker than in ‘a state of nature
and cast them upon your premises.
In order to protect your land from
their overflowthey might be willing
to join‘ you in‘a‘pdtition for a ditch

to connect this property with the

public drain; If the natural drain-

might. have authority to compel the

to make an opening therein. It is
possible that some one would be 11-
able for the damage for~stopping up
the water way with a fill in the
highway. There are so many rm

’ involved in a transaction that- it is

almost necessary that you state “fully

ANOTHER *“GLORIOUS OPPOR-
TUNITY"

 

Will you Slease advise 'me if the “prop-

fbed in the enclosed Circular
134a «good thing to invest money in?——J.
in, Tyre, Mich.

No! Oil stocks are not , safe
things for a novice to play with.
“Drilling,” says your, circular, “is
going on at 1,890 feet and the form-
:ation ShOWS we :are practically on top

‘of the oil~ sand. Emment geologists

forecast oil within 300 feet at the
most.” And then iglowing instances
of the “.gushe‘rs" which have just
come in all about this favored prop-
erty. How many promoters of oil
drilling companies have stood with
emectant hearts while their ‘drills
pounded away a few "feet from the
“oil sands," only to be doomed to
black disappointment when the drill
failed to find the coveted pool of oil.
When you are tempted to invest in
oil Estoc‘ks by the alluring tales of
the fortunes that have been made in
oil, just hesitate long enough to
think about the fortunes that have
been lost in oil wells and you may

then be able to turn the tempts;-

away—Editor.

 

.WHEN TAXES ARE RETURNED

If I should refuse to pay my taxes and
let my land be sold under the tax title
law, could the buyer take possession if I
‘tive on my farm.‘ and if I shdu’ld later
take up the tax title, what would it cost
me? -I think this would be cheaper than
to my the interest charged by the banks.
—~Subscrfber. ‘

If you should allow your tastes to
be returned they would bear three-
f-o-unths of one percent per month or
the equivalent of nine percent per
annum interest until paid. It takes
nearly three years before the prop-
erty can be sold upon the taxes and
before la purchaser can take posses-
sion he must giVe six months writ-
ten notice of his purchase of the
title at tax sale so that the owner
would have a least .six months lee-
Way after the property was sold. If
you ﬁaVe a note in which 12 per
cent interest was reserved. or in
which the equivalent of 12 per
cent was reserved and taken out in
the hands of the original holder of
the note the maker would have no
interest to pay whatever should the
holder of the note bring suit there-
on. The maker of the note may
defend itin the hands of the orig-
inal holder but when transferred to
an innocent purchaser who knew
nothing about the usury in the
note he could not defend against
such innocent 'h'older.—Legal Editor.

No, the banks have no right to
charge a bonus, but they do it. And
the reason they do it is because there
is no penalty for violation of the
law. In order to make the law'fu’nc-
tion the complaint must be made by
the borrower which means that his
credit in his community and else-
where .is forever ruined. No bank-
er is obliged to loan money and its
a foregone conclusion that/he will
not loan to the man who has made
trouble for him. I know of no law
authorizng the government to make
direct loans to ex—service men, but
if you have adequate security your
banker should take care of you at
prevailing rates. If he hasn’t the

_ receivea letter or two, or. met»

b; e.- cauzd, askin’ my opinion
on some very important matter, an!
no» that .I have a little breathz‘lm'
spell, I'll: jest try an,’ answer some
of the most important. questions an’
git 'em off my mind. I'll say before.
beginnin’ that I have given much
thought to these problems for I know
they concern the whole human race
an’ my greatest specialty is helpin’
my teller human bein’s.

Helen R. of Lake Odessa, an' vi,~
cinity, asks if she ought to wear her
skirts. longer? My dear Helen, with—
out seein’ you I cannot answer as
perfectly as I would like. I do not
know how long you wear ’em, you
know; but this I can say: Some
girls, on accohnt of their complex-
ions an’ other things, look better
with longer skirts, but if you have
two real good reasons for wearin"
’em short Why it’s all right with me,
keep on wearin’ ’em. By special
wire from Paris (111.) I. am advised
that they will be longer next spring.
They are to be one—ﬁfth of an inch

longer, which means that by the time ..

you are a grandma, skirts may be
back to normal—an' then agin. they
may not—all dependin' on Whether
they are or not.

To George. of Kalamazoo: No
George, Admiral Simms- was not
called back from Europe an’ given
a reprimand 'cause there were jack-
asses in Congress. He. wasn’t really
to blame for their bein’ there, but
he was, called home ’cause‘ he told
about . ’em in a foreign country,
Where they have plenty jackasses of
their own. No the jackasses are not
all in Congress. The supply is ample
to keep Congress supplied for years
to. come ’an there’ll be some left for
state legislatures an’ similar for a
good while yet. Den’t worry, we’ll
always have a plenty of ’em an’
some of- ’em’s bound to be elected for
somethin’ every year.

Nellie. G., Pontiac: No Nellie, I
Wouldn’t recomend tar for the com-
plexion. I know its bein’ used to
some extent by the Ku Kluxes an’
the like, but its no improvement to
the looks an" should be avoided.
Ivory soap an' water, good exer-
cise, such as sweepin’, makin’ beds,
washin’ dishes an’ helpini mother,
is far better for the complexion than
anything else I know an’ if used
freely, will make any girl look beaut—
iful. Try it out an’ report results.

Percival Vincent Brown, of Potter—
ville, asks me how to get rid of warts.
My dear Percy, warts used to be a
very tender subject with met I
might almost say I hardly thought
of any thing else for quite a long
time an’ I found the best an’ 'bout
the only way to get rid of ’em is to
wish ’em onto somebody else. If
your best girl goes back on you, wish
’em onto her; or if"some- feller steps
in: an? cuts you out, jest wish ’em~

~~on<to him. Before doin’any wishin",

it’s well to rub salt onto the warts,
then throw it——the salt, into the ﬁre
ant git away before you hear it snap
doin' your wishin’ while on the ru_n-.
I lost most" of my' warts that way an’
think it’ll be alright for you to try“-
it. Jest a- little word of advice how-
overkbe sure the feller- you wish
’em onto is smaller than your self;
else unpleasant things might follow
——-you know what I mean don’t yorr,
Percy dear?

A “Spinster,”' of‘ Grass Lake,
writes to ask if" I think that women-
will ever be on an‘ ‘equality with
men?‘ My dear Spinst'er—how beaut—
iful the name—I am» very much
afraid that, unless women change
their ways, the time is coming when
they will be. Already they are
headin’ strong in- that direction.
More an’ more are they a'cquirin’
men’s ways an’ doin’ the things that
men, a’few years ago would have

been ashamed to do an' as proof of,
‘ this I’ll jest mention a'few things

that the dear women are d'oin' an’
ybu. can judge for yourself how~long
it’ll/take to reach the _ equality
v’which so many of ’em crave. Wo-
men today areusettin’ injuries, held-
‘in’ 01100 an' smokin.’ cigarettes;

they are wearin’ one piece bathin’,
suits, '-attendin’ prize" fights ‘an’ _.

drinkin’ bootleg Whiskey; many of

 

’em are successful bootleggers, can
run. a... still an’ are bettin’ on the
races; some. of ’em shoots their hus-
bands, poisons their lovers an’ at-
tend. Fatty Arbnckle. parties; they
expose more of their person than
men. dast do, play poker an' make
home brew; they paint their faces
(men only paint the nose), swear
like pirates. an’ dance the shimmy;
they stay out late nights, talk about
their neighbors an’ git divorces
from their husbands; they run foot
races, play baseball an’ beat up the
traffic cops; they chew gum in the
church and theatre, lie about their
age an’ play the ukelele; yes, an'
they wear rats in their hair, which
the men can’t, run automobiles an’
airplanes an' wear shoes two or
three sizes smallern' their feet. So
you see my dear “Spinnay” that wo-t
men are rapidly approachinﬂ the
time when they will be on an equal—
ity with men an‘ may in time sur-
pass ’em.

However, it is my firm belief that
women will never really git down
to men’s level until they can drink
white mule, smoke a corn cob pipe
an’ chew Copenhagen snuff. I
thank you. Cordially yours.—

Improvements

The history cf the telephone is a record of constant
improveman Only by numerous inventions and ceaseless
research for new and better ways has the present standard
been reached.

Two-score years ago the telephone could hardly carry
the human voice across a city. Now it carries it distinctly
across this great continent. The once familiar network of
overhead wires in large cities has been replaced by systems
of underground cables. each cable containing thousands of
slender, sensitive wires.

Switchboards, once primitive devices, called upon to
handle only a few connections and limited in their work-
ings, have now become great and precise mechanisms
through which the volume and complexity of telephone-
traﬂicjs handled with mechanical pcrfccu'on.

With the continued growth in the number of telephone
users, there is a continued increase in the problems of speed.
accuracy and speech transmission.

These are the problems forever before the scientists and
engineers of the BellSystem; and the solution of these prob-
lems, in advance of necessity, is the objective of this great
body of specially trained experts. is

The Bell System will continue the improvements necesn 1)
'sary to maintain its standard of service, which is the best
and cheapest telephone service in the world.

(Continued from last 'week') - -
IN THAT moment of’consternatidu
' and rage Neewa did not‘take size

into consideration. He was much
:in the ,frame of mind of a man re-
turning home to diSCOVer his domi-
cile, and all it contained in full
possession of another. At the same
time here was his ambition easily. to
be achieved—his ambition to lick
the daylight out of a member of his
own kind. Miki seemed to sense
this fact. Under ordinary conditions
he would have led in the fray, and
before Neewa had fairly got started,
would have been at the impudent in-
terloper's throat. But now some-
thing held him back, and it was
Neewa who first shot out—like a
black bolt——landing squarely in the
ribs of his unsuspecting enemy_

(Old Makoki, the Cree runner,
had be seen that attack, would in-
stantly have found a name for the
other bear—"Petoot—a—wapis—kum,"
which means, literally: “Kicked—off-
his—Feet.” Perhaps he would have
called him “Pete” for short. For the
Cree believes in fitting names to fact,
and Petoot—a—wapis—kum certainly
fitted the unknown bear like a
glove.)

Taken utterly by surprise, with
his mouth full of berries, he was
bowled over like an overfilled bag
under the force of Neewa's charge.

the moment that Miki, watching the

probation. Before Pete could un-
derstand what had happened, and
while the berries were still oozing
from his mouth, Neewa was at his
throats—and the fun began.

Now bears, and especially young
bears, have a way of fighting that is
all their own. It reminds one of a
hair pulling contest between two
Well—matched ladies. There are no
rules to the game—absolutely none.
As Pete and Neewa clinched, their
hind legs began to do the fighting,
and the fur began to fly_ Pete, be—
ing already on his back a ﬁrst—class
battling position for a bear would
have possessed an advantage had it
not been for Neewa’s ferocious hold
As it was, Neewa
sank his fangs in to their full length,
and scrubbed away for dear life with
his sharp hind claws. Miki drew
nearer at sight of the flying fur, his
soul ﬁlled with joy. Then Pete got
one leg into action, and then the
other, and Miki’s jaws came togeth-
er with a sudden click. Over and
over the two fighters rolled, Neewa
holding to his throat grip, and not a
squeal or a grunt came from either
of them. Pebbles and dirt flow
along with hair and fur. Stones roll—
ed with a clatter down the coulee.
The very air trembled with the thrill
of combat. In Miki’s attitude of
tense waiting there was something
now of suspicious anxiety. With
eight furry legs scratching and tear—
ing furiously, and the two ﬁghters
rollingr and twisting and contoi'ting
themselves like a pair of windmills
gone mad, it was almost impossible
for Miki to tell who was getting the
Worst of it Neewa or Pete; at least
he was 111 doubt for a matter of three
or four minutes. "

Then he recognized Neewa’s
voice. It was very faint, but for all
that it was an unmistakable bawl
of pain.

Smothcred under Pete’s heavier
body Neewa began to realize, at the
end of these three or four minutes,
that he had tackled more than was
good for him_ It was altogether
Pete’s size and not his fighting qual-
itics, for Neewa had him outpoint—
ed there. int he fought on, hoping
for some good turn of luck, until at
last Pete got him just where he
wanted him and began raking him
up and down his sides until in an—
other thrce minutes he would have
been half skinned if Miki hadn’t
Judged the moment ripe for inter-
vention. Even then Neewa was tak-
ing his punishment without a howl.

In another instant Miki had Pete
by the ear. It was a grim and ter-
rible hold. Old Soominitik himself
Would have bawled lustily in the
circumstances. Pete raised his voice
in a howl of agony. He forgot ev-
erything else but the terror and the
pain of this new somethingthat had

with his outcry. His lamentation

sound from his throat. Neewa knew
that Miki was in action.
He- pulled himself from under the
young interloper’s body—and not a
second too soon. Down the coulee,
charging like a mad bull, came
Pete’s mother. Neewa was off like
a shot just as she made a powerful
swing at him. The blow missed, and
the old bear turned excitedly to her
bawling offspring. Miki, hanging
joyously to his victim, was oblivious
of his danger until Pete’s mother
was almost upon him. He caught
sight of her just as her long arm
shot out like a wooden beam.
dodged; and the blow intended for
him landed full against the side of
the unfortunate Pete’s head with a
force that took him clean oﬁ his feet
and sent him flying like a football
twenty yards down the coulee.

Miki did not wait for further re-
sults. Quick as a flash he was in
a currant thicket tearing down the
little gulch after Neewa. They came
out on the plain together, and for a
good ten minutes they did not halt
in their flight long enough to look
back. When they did, the coulee
was a mile away. They sat down,
panting. Neewa’s red tongue was
hanging out in his exhaustion. He
was scratched and bleeding; loose
hair hung all over him. As he look—
ed at Miki there Was something in
the dolorous express-ion of Neewa’s
face which was a confession of the
fact that he realized Pete had licked

,. him.

CHAPTER TWELVE

FTER THE fight in the coulee
A there was no longer a thought
on the part of Neewa and Miki

of returning to the Garden of Eden
in which the black currants grew
so luciously. From the tip of his
tail to the end of his nose Miki was
an adventurer, and like the nomadic
rovers of old he was happiest when
on the move. The wilderness had
claimed him now, body and soul, and
it is probable that he would have
shunned a human camp at this stage
of his life, even as Neewa would

IS OUR OPINION that th! {arm family Is as much entitled to healthy amusement as

Farmer ls encouraging township, county and state-

have shunned it. But in the lives
of beasts, as well as in the lives of
men, Fate plays her pranks and
tricks, and even as they turned into
the vast and mystery—ﬁlled spaces
of the great lake and waterway—
country, to the west, events were
slowly shaping themselves into what
was to be perhaps the darkest hour
of gloom in the life of Miki, son. of
Hela.

Through six glorious and sun-ﬁll-
ed weeks of late summer and early
autumn—until the middle of Sep—
tember—Miki and Neewa ranged the
country westward, always heading
toward the setting sun, the country
of Jackson’s Knee, of the
wood and the Clearwater, and God’s
Lake. In this country they saw
many things. It was a region a
hundred miles square which the
handiwork of Nature had made into
a veritable kingdom of the wild.
They came upon great beaver col-
onies in the dark and silent places;
they watched the otter at play; they
came upon moose and caribou so
frequently that they no longer fear-
ed or evaded them, but walked out
openly into the meadows or down to
the edge of the swamps where
they were feeding. It was here
that Miki learned the great 'lesson
that claw and fang were made to
prey upon cloven hoof and horn, for
the wolves were thick, and a dozen
times they came upon their kills,
and even more frequently heard the
wild tongue of the hunting packs.
Since his experience with Maheegun
he no longer had the desire to join
them. And now Neewa no longer
insisted on remaining near meat
when he found it. It was the begin—
ning of the Kwashka—Hao in Neewa
—the instinctive sensing of the Big
Change.

Until early in October Miki could
see but little of this change in his
comrade. It was then that Neewa
became more and more restless, and
this restlessness grew as the chill
nights came, and autumn breathed
more heavily in the air. It was

“'ll.l. SICVI) LIST OF PITCIIERS

Seeing your article in the Michigan
Business Farmer this morning about
horseshoe pitching, I am interested. We
have a great many here who are enthu—
siasts in the game, in fact, we have some
exceptionally good players and I would
like to have you send me a set of the
rules. Will furnish you a list of the play-
ers if you care to have them for your
files—Roland J. Frink, Clinton County,

Mich.

GLAD TO SEE INTEREST IN GAME
As I am very much interested in the
game of horseshoe throwing ’and play
considerably would like the set of na—
tional rules. Glad people are beginning
to see the merits of this game—Jesse J.
Russell, Muskegon County, Mich.

LIKES THE GAME .
I notice that you would like to see
Michigan farmers do more horseshoe
pitching. As there is no sport I like bet-
ter than a good game of horseshoe now
and then I decided to write and ask you
far a. copy of the national. rules as we

NOT MUCH DOING UNTIL SPRING

As I am interested in horseshoe pitch-
ing would like your rules on the game
and will try and get up a club here. Will
let you know how we get along. but prob-
ably there will not be much doing until
Spring.—-—M. W. Shafer, St, Joseph Coun-
ty, Michigan.

PITCHED DURING SCHOOL DAYS,

Please send me the national rules on
horseshoe pitching. .I am interested in
the game as it used to be one of our
principal games at the little country
school in southern Michigan where. I re-
ceived my education—E. D. Post. ‘An-

mid—october he: slept scarcely

hours of night as well as day, ~eat-
ing, eating, eating, and always smell—
ing the wind for that elusive thing
which Nature was commanding him
to seek and find. Ceaselessly’” he
was nosing under windfalls and
among the rocks and Miki was al—
ways near him, always on the qui
vive for battle with the thing that
Neewa was hunting out. And it:
seemed to be never found.

Then Neewa turned back to the

east, drawn by the instinct of his‘

forefathers; back toward the coun-
try of Noozak, his mother, and of
Soominitik, his father} and Miki
followed. The nights grew more
and more chill. The stars seemed

farther away, and no longer was the

forest moon red like ‘blood. The
cryvof the Icon had a moaning note
in it, a note of grief and lamenta-
tion. And in their. shacks audite-
pees the forest _people sniffed the
air of frosty mornings, and soaked
their traps in ﬁsh—oil and beaver-
grease, and made their moccasins,
and mended snowshoe and sledge,
fpr the cry of the loon said that
winter was creeping down out of
the north. And the swamps grew
silent. The cow moose no longer
mooed to her young. In place of it,
from the open plain and “burn”
rose the deﬁant challenge of bull to
bull and the deadly clash of horn
against horn under the stars of
night. The Wolf no longer howled
to hear his voice_ In the travel of
padded feet there came to be a
slinking, hunting caution. In all
the forest world blood was running
red again. '

And then—November.

Perhaps Miki would never forget
that first day when the snow came.
At first he thought all the winged
things in the world were shedding
their White feathers. Then he felt
the fine, soft touch of it under his
feet and the chill. It sent the blood
rushing like a new kind of fire thru
his body; a wild and thrilling joy
.—-the exultation that leaps through
the veins of the wolf when the win-
ter comes. _

With Neewa its effect was differ—
ent—so different that even Miki felt
the oppression of it, and waited
vaguely and anxiously fer what was
to come. And then, on this day of
the first snow, he saw his comrade
do a strange and unaccountable
thing. He began to eat things that
he had never touched as food before.
He lapped up soft pine needles and
He ate of the
dry, pulpy substance of rotted logs.
And then he went into a great cleftv
broken into the heart of arrocky
ridge and found at last the'thing for
which he had been seeking. It was
a cavern—deep, and dark, and warm.

Nature works in strange ways.
She gives to the birds of the air eyes
which men may never have, and she
gives to the beasts of the earth an.
instinct which men may never know.
For Neewa had come back to sleep
his first Long Sleep in the place of
his birth——the cavern in which
Noozak, his ‘ mother, had brought
him into the world.

His 01d bed was still there, the
wallow in the soft sand, the blanket
of hair Noozak had shed; but the
smell of his mother was gone. In
the nest where he was born Neewa
lay doWn, .and for the last time he
It was as
if he felt upon him the touch of a
hand, gentle but inevitable, which
he could no longer reque to obey,
and to Miki was saying for the last
time: “Good-night!"

That night the pipoo kestin—the
ﬁrst storm of winter—came like an
avalanche from out of the North.
With it came a wind that was like

was nothing.that moved. Even in

Miki’s eyes. So far as his vision
could‘reach the earth was as if cov-
ered with a robe of diamonds. From

fire of the sun; it quivered in the
tree-tops, bent low with their bur—
den of snow; it was like a sea in the
valley, So vivid that the unfrozen
stream running through the heart of
it was black. Never had Miki seen
a day so magniﬁcent. Never had hlS

sun as it pounded now, and never
had his blood burned with a wilder
exultation_ _-

He whined, and ran back to Nee—
wa. He barked in the gloom of
the cavern and gave his comrade a
nudge with his nose. Neewa grunt—
ed sleepily. He stretched himself,
raised his head for an instant, and
then curled himself into a ball again.
Vainly Miki protested that it was

Neewa made no response, and after

Winter Conveniences

IKE MOST country places, our
home was not equipped .w1th
an abundance of conveniences

in the way of toilet facilities. The
house was an old one with large
roams such as it was the fashion
,once to make. We had an abund-
ance of room but no facilities. Fur—
“ I thermore circumstances in general
I forbade us equipping the house With
an expensive water system_ How—
ever, we became resourceful, and at
a very small cost, provided a num—
ber of conveniences that have 1n a
single winter provided comforts
worth vastly more than the entire
cost.
One of the large rooms was de—
‘2 prived of a bit of its space in one
corner, much to the improvement of
the room, let it be said. By usmg
.wall board and some scantlings
which we had on hand, this corner
was partitioned off into another
small square room. One door was
placed in the partition while one of
the outside windows was taken in
the small room. All this work we
were able to do ourselves. _
At a plumbing shop we secured
for ﬁve dollars an old marble-top
sink or wash bowl, fitted with fau—
cets, etc. This was placed in one
corner, and connected with pipes
leading to a tank in the attic. '
A small framed mirror was pur—
chased and by means of hinges, a
kn b and a latch, this was made
the door to a box of the same size
ﬁtted with three shelves. This was
hung in the corner over the wash
stand, thus at once providing a mir—
ror and a receptacle for toilet art—
icles.
A small wooden arm was hung on
a hinge so that it could swing free—
ly in a complete semi—circle. This
was attached to the wall just above
the mirror. Electric light wires
were then brought into the room,
down the wall and out to the end
of the wooden arm where the sock-
et and shade were attached. .The
arm, or bracket, was placed so that
it would be just slightly above the
average person’s head, yet within
easy reach. By swinging the arm

Miki, returned to the mouth
a cavern, and looked back- to
see if 'Neewa' wasfollowing him.
Then, disappointed, he went out
into the snow. For an hour he did
not move farther than ten feet
away from the den. Three times he
returned to Neewa and urged him
to get up' and come out where it
was light. In that far corner of the
cavern it was dark, and it was as if
he were trying to tell Neewa that
he was a dunce to lie there still
thinking it was night when the sun
was up outside. But he failed. Nee-
wa was in the edge of his Long
Sleep—the beginning of Uske—pow-
a-mew, the dream land of the bears.

Annoyance, the desire almost to
sink his teeth in Neewa’s ear, gave
place slowly to another thing in
Miki. The instinct that between
beasts is like the spoken reason of
in a strange and dis—
quieting way within him. He be—
came more and more uneasy. There
was almost distress in his restless—
ness as he hovered about the mouth
of the cavern. A last time he went
to Neewa, and then started alone
down into the valley. ’

(Continued next week)

the light is shifted so as to light
either side of the face, which is a
pronounced convenience to a man
when using the mirror to shave.
Thus a convenience in lighting was
provided by a little resourcefulness
and at a cost almost negligible_
The other convenience, the great-
est of them all, was an up—to~date
chemical closet. Before purchasing
a chemical closet, took a "great
deal of time to investigate the mat—
ter. First, as to whether or not the
closet was satisfactory in a general
way: secondly, as to the type to buy.
We talked to parties who had
used them, we read the testimonials
in the manufacturer’s literature, and
in every case we learned that where
the ventilation pipe is properly con—
ducted outside where it will pro—
duce a draft that will carry the de—
composition odors to the outside air
the results have been highly satis—

factory.
llealth officers endorse them,
school officials recommend them,

farmers and people in rural villages
who for years have suffered the dis-
comforts of an out—door closet, lend
their enthusiastic testimonials for
the santary closet. So we were read—
ily convinced on the matter of the
closet being a success.

As to the type to buy, we found
that all the closets put on the mar—
ket by numerous manufacturers are
of the same general type. The prin—
ciple of operation is the same. How—
ever we did find that in the matter
of general appearance there is a
vast difference, with, of course, a
more or less difference in price. One
can find them from the very cheap
ones with galvanized metal, unpaint—
ed, to those that are finished up in
a way that makes it just as attrac—
tive in a room as the regular closet
ﬁttings.

We were not long in deciding
Which of these various kinds to pur—
chase. The most attractive one that
we could ﬁnd and the least expen-
s1ve, when .We considered appear—
ance, was the one that we sent for.
We have never regretted our selec-
tion. Ithis built strong and durable
besides being finished in white with
an attractive dark cover. In our
room, which we finished in white, it
fits with a pleasing harmony_

There comes with it enough pipe
for the ventilating conductor both
inside the roomand outside the
house. Also enough chemical to
last for a long time.

Since using the closeb‘ we are
heartily—endorsing it to all those of
our friends who are still undergoing
the inconveniences and discomforts
that we succeeded in overcoming in
a way that any other farmer can
duplicate and with a costso small
that it is not worth considering. In
our own case, for instance, the work
was done in the winter days when
we were otherwise idle. The con—
venience and satisfaction in a single
winter has been worth vastly more
than it all cost, while we still have

'what it has meant by way 'of in—

creasing the value of the property.

The Future of Farming

’ S FOR the farmer, he has suffered the
' worst of all. Slowly, slowly the truth
31188 gone home to the nation that agriculture,
W11 whose ﬁrm foundation the rest of our
C national prosperity structure is laid, “has '«suf—
' , ﬁred a ‘blow from which it will take some

atop and Market Outlook

OTEJNG short of a world panic can
prevent substantial in the prices
of many farm products hetero  new
son’s crops are gathered. This prediction is
based on the established fact that a large per-

» ccntage of the 1921 crops have been sold lay

the farmers and are either consumed or ﬁ
strong hands able to hold for larger prices.
The speculators will, as usual, get the major
beneﬁt of the higher prices though some ben-
eﬁts will dribble through to the farmer whose
bank laccount and credit has en large
enough to enable him to hold. ith some
minor exceptions all remaining crops will be
in fair demand from now on with prices tend-
ing upward.

So far as acreage is concerned the tenden-
cy will be toward fewer acres and less risk
and work. There will be more “mm to "form
but less machinery and fertilizer to farm
with. Farmers will take .a chance on ﬁelds
which aren’t ﬁt to produce a decent crop.
And "they will not be ao-pmrticuhr about the
quality of theirueed. We may, therefore, "look
for a smaller total acreage and a smaller total
production. ‘

The corn acreage will be greatly reduced
particularly in the surplus states. The Crop
on hand now .is nearly a third of .a billion
bushels more Than the .mrrnal surplus. The
corn farmer’s. ﬁnancial "safety depends upon
cutting this down, and a word of mouth cam-
paign With  in 'view is already going the
rounds of the com belt. But that should not
influence the Mich?an business farmer. Re
610qu plant  usual acreage ‘for Reding
purposes.

The world wheat acreage will he substan-
tially the same as the 1921 acreage. Some
countries will plant less; others more. The
yield per acre will be less. Soil fertility has
suffered from the abnormal drain of the :past
few years and the great droughts of 1921
have not  “the soil.

More acres will be planted to cats and the
total yield will probably be larger. It isnot
likely that we shall have 17W0'ycars of blasted
oat crops in succession.

True to the rule of Em which thasvoel-
.dom failed in the past quarter of a century
the potato acreage will be slightly increased in
all countries. The U. S. production will ex- -
coed 1921, but will not be nearly so large as
the 1920. Here, again, the ability of the
farmer to buy fertilizer and certiﬁed seed
*will be a reckoning factor in the acre yield,

The bean acreage will be largely increased
in Michigan and New York, 'but will probab-
‘ty show a falling off in California and other!
western states. Many farmers in Michigan
who turned from beans to sugar beets will
surely "turn back  this your. Tint will
mean more beans and less sugar beets, Which
will be well “for all concerned.

Recognition

 WOULD "appear that the Amer-icon aris-
' tourney of great wealth ‘and special priv-
ilege is about to recognize its poor relation,
the farmer. For many months, this toil-worn
son of the sod hasstood shivering at the back
door for  sustenance. But. in-
stead of wheat ho has been given chad; in-
stead of meat he has been given bone; instead
of welcome he has received the cold shoulder
of hrdiﬁerenoe.

But friends have interceded. The door has
been [opened-a crack, giving him a glimpse at
least of the warmth and the abundance inside.

the part of the farmer’s friends, the "rich

PEOPLE Tm ABOUT

S. CORA HARRIS, author of

“The Circuit Rider’s Wife,"

and “Eve’s Second Husband,"
did not awaken to find herself fam—
ous. She has been getting famous
for twenty years, but her friends
only discovered her literary identity
recently. Although her story, “The
Circuit Rider’s Wife," did not ap-
pear under her name, it was at once
recognized as her work by those
who knew her best, for it contained
much of the experience of her early
married life as the wife of a “cir-
cuit rider” in the Southern Metho-
dist Church. Her husband, Lundy
H. Harris, was generally supposed
to be the hero of the story, which
was not altogether to the liking of
his fellow—churchmen. At the time
of its appearance he occupied a high
official position in the publishing
house of the church, at Nashville,
Tenn., where Mrs. Harris now lives.
Last September he committed suicide
and soon after his death the clerk
of the court requested of Mrs. Har-
ris an inventory of her husband’s
estate. In answer she wrote to the
clerk as follows: “It is not with any
intention of showing an egregious
sentimentality that I say I find it
impossible to give you a complete
and satisfactory inventory of the es-
tate of Lundy H. Harris. The part
that I give is so small that it is in-
significant and misleading. At the
time of his death he had $2.35 in
his purse, $116 in the Union Bank
and Trust Company of this city,
about four hundred books at the
cost about eighty-ﬁVe dollars, the
coffin in which he was buried, but
major part of his estate was invest—
ed in heavenly securities, the value
of which have been variously declar—
ed in this world and highly taxed by
the various churches, but never rea-
lizcd. Ile invested every year not
less (usually more) than twelve
hundred dollars in charity, so secret—
ly, so inoffensiver and so honestly
that he was never suspected of being
a philanthropist and never praised
for his generosity. lle pensioned an
old, outcast woman in Barton coun-
ty, an old soldier in Nashville. He
sent two little negro boys to school
and supported for five years a fam—
ily of five who could not support
themselves. He contributed anon—
ymously to every charity in Nash-
ville: every ‘old maid’ interested in
a ‘benevolent obiect’ received his
aid; every child he knew exacted and
received penny tolls from his tender—
ness. He supported the heart of
every man who confided in him with
encouragement and affection. He
literally did forgive his enemies and
suffered martyrdom, September
18th, 1910, after enduring three
years of persecution without com—
plaint. He considered himself one
of the chief survivors and was ever
recognized as one of the largest
bondholders in heaven. You can
see how large his estate was and
how difficult it would be to compute
its value so as to furnish you the
inventory your require for entry on
your books. I have given you faith—
fully such items as have come within
my knowledge."

  

READ THIS AND PONDER
' FTER READING the letter head-
ed, “Unfaithfulness” I want to
say a few Words.
First I want to say that I am
one of the poor fools who was

tempted and went astray and today
my home is broken up, our little
girl of two (who dearly loved her
daddy) is with her mother. I am
alone on the farm and heartbroken
over the past. I don’t know the
circumstances surrounding the
downfall of the husband in the re-
cent letter but I can relate mine.

We were married nearly ﬁfteen
years ago. I was a hard—working
young man with a wife who dearly
loved me. She was a good house—
keeper, a slave to cleanliness, so
much so that she broke her health
and was a semi—invalid for several
years. After a few years in the
country we decided to go to the city
and I curse the day that we did for
my work brought me in contact with
the kind of women who tempt men.

However after a few years I was
sick of the way I was doing and
moreso when our little girl came.

It was with a great deal of per-

Edited by MRS. GRACE NELLIS JEva 

suasion that my wife decided to go
on the farm with me. I bought
far enough from the city where we
lived so I knew I would not have
a chance to go back if the devil
wanted me to. My wife did not sus-
pect me, so I felt that we would be
happy and we were.

Here I want to say that many a
time I wanted to' tell her why I
wanted to leave the city but knew
if I did it would cause trouble so did
not do it. But one of the men I
worked with who thought he loved
her came out to see us real often,
and he took it upon himself to tell
her of my shortcomings. Of course
she became dissatisﬁed with me and
cursed the day she met me.

I want to say to the lady who
wrote the letter recently published
to forgive your husband and forget
the past. No doubt he is sincere in
his regret of the past. I know I am.

I often think of the Bible’s ref-
erence to forgiVeness when Christ
said, “Unless you forgive your fel-
low men who trespass against you
your heavenly Father will not for—
give you.” We are all weak and li-
able to fall when tempted. Let’s
think, “It might have been me, or
could I have been to blame for the
fall of the one I loved?”——Sorry
Husband.

 

BETTER MOTHERS

HAVE read with interest the let-

ters which have been running in

the M. B. F. during the last few
weeks on “Unfaithfulness,” “The
Marriage Triangle,” etc. Since we
have the question so nicely solved
by one who knows and a single man
at that, I suppose it is needless for
a mere woman to express her views,
nevethclcss, I amigoing to write
down an incident which came to my
notice a number of years ago where
the woman acted so differently from
any of the women of whom we have
been reading. At the time of my
acquaintance with the family, there
were the father and mother and
three grown boys. The father had
been a well educated man of good
family, but was morally weak, very
selfish; he believed in “personal lib-
erty” and practiced it to the down-
fall of all others, himself included.

And the mother. I shall never
forget the first time I saw her—her
face was so disfigured that she had
to wear a veil when out in public.
Her eyes, such beautiful dark, gray
eyes, which showed that Within that
diseased body was an undaunted
spirit that would not give up.

In visiting with her I found her
very intelligent, well posted in the

latest books, had firm opinions of
her own and a cheerfulness that was
contagious; every one felt the uplift
of her personality.- Not one word
of fault finding or complaint. After
a few years they decided to move
away. Of course during the time
they remained in our neighborhood
I had heard the whole family history
——how through lack of self control
and selfishness the husband had
just dropped so low.

I suppose right here the man
writer will say his wife *should be
well dressed and kept herself more
attractive. Many people have found
out that it takes more than attrac-
tion to make up life. I visited her
again before they went away. I
don’t know how she happened to
talk of herself; but we did have the

most heart to heart talk. When she

ﬁnished talking I said “Don't you
feel any resentment for your hus-
band and those other women?”

She just looked at me with her
dear, kind eyes and said, “Resent-
ment, child! I have no time for re-
sentment or self-pity. You know
my boys were born before this trag-
edy came into our life. My life and
duty is to them, to teach them to
have some backbone. I have read
the lives of a great number of heroes
to them. I see that they have in-
struction in the care of the body and
sexual knowledge, etc."

The care of the future generation
is largely entrusted to mothers. Are
we doing our duty or are we rearing
a weak, spiritless, self—indulging
race of men and women?—Mrs. S. M.

P. S.~—-In glancing over my let—
ter I find many mistakes but have
no time to rewrite. Duty is ever
present with this mother. I have a
big churning and an ironing to do
before dinner and at present one lit-
tle youngster is rubbing goose—oil
on the cat.. There are so many
things to do but I find time to read,
study and live such a happy, full
life. I wish you lots of success.
These little talks in the M. B. F.
are doing lots of good among the

readers. We women must wake up
to so many, many things.———Mrs.

THE INVENTOR’S WIFE _~

We lost the hull of our turnip crap while
he was inventin' a gun;

But I counted it one of my mercies when
it bust before ’twas done.

So he turned it into a burglar alarm—it
ought to give thieves a fright—

’Twould scare an honest man out of his
wits, if he sot it off at night.

Sometimes I wonder if ‘Bijah’s crazyl—
he does sech cur’oue things.

Hev I told you about his bedstead yet?
—-'twas full of wheels and springs:

It hcd a key to wind it up, and a cloek
‘ face at the head:

All you did was to turn them hand, and
at any hour you said, .

That bed got up and shook itself, and
bounced you on the floor,

And then shet up, Jest like a box, so
you couldn’t sleep any more.

Wa’ai Bijah he ﬁxed it all complete, and
he sot it at half past five, - ,

But he hadn't more‘n got into it when—
dear me, sakes alive!

Them wheels began to whiz and whirri
I heard a, fearful snap!

And there was that/ bedstead, with Bijah
inside, shot up j’est like a trap!

I screamed, of course, but ’twant no use,
then I worked that hul-l' long night

A-tryin’ to open the pesky thing. At last
I got in a. fright;

I couldn’t hear his voice inside, and I
thought he might be dyin';

80 I took a crow-bar and smashed it in—
”I‘here was Bijah peacefully lyin';

Inve'ntin' a way to git out ag’ln. That
was all very. well to say.

But I don’t believe he’d have found it
out if I’d left him in all day.

Now, since I've told you‘my story, do
you .wonder I'm tired of life?

Or think it strange I often wish I war'n’t

THOSE REQUESTS FOR “GRIG-
GSBY’S STATION"

M AN interested reader of M. B.

F. and especially of the depart-
ment your represent. As you

say you are “interested and curious"
at the’numerous requests for “Grig-
gsby’s Station” by James Whitcomb
Riley, I may be able to solve the
problem, yet may be misled. A num-
ber of the year books for various
Woman’s Clubs have a “Riley” pro—
gram for one evening. His poems
are “homey” and appeal to the home
loving people. His verses have sung
their way into the hearts of the peo-
ple, with love, sympathy and under-
standing. Its not the light and faddy
poetry or the jazz music or pop-
ular dancing that appeals to the
clean minded people. “Griggsby’s
Station” bears evidence of the type
of many our fathers and mothers
who spent most of their lives in hon-
est labor that they might “lay by"
for old age and live in ease and in
comfort in their declining years.
Even though their dreams were re-
alized, memory takes them back.to
the long ago, and they live over the
days of true and neighborly friend-
sh'rps, days when it did not seem a
“crime to be honest." Some time
ago I enjoyed a Riley and Guest pro-
gram with some other readings. It
was especially pleasing. One of the
numbers was a reading, “The Patch-
work Quilt” with musical accom-
paniment which was nicely render-
ed. - The closing number was a play-
ette from “The Circuit Rider‘s
Wife” by Cora Harris. I had read
it when published in the Saturday
Evening Post and I wish everyone
might read it. It’s good for the
"blues." It can be best appreciated
by those like myself who lived in
the days of “donations for the min-
ister," who preached in one circuit
and we all did our “bit” even tho
it might not have included the gen-
erous supply of home grown tobacco
that the minister’s wife accepted so
gracefully. '
I am pleased'with the recipes in
the household column. Am glad that
Mrs. L. M. N. of Kingsley, Mich., has
donated the recipe for white cake.
I had lost mine that was similar to

this. Did She ever take part the .

batter and add few nut meats and
candied citron? There is plenty to
make two small loaf cakes.

I will tell the inquirer for ,table
centerpiece decoration what I have
used. Sprigs of holly laid in circle
about the white centerpiece with
cranberries laid among them. ,Noth-
ing prettier than a basket of fruit
in center. Small poinsettias can be
used instead of holly.

CEDAR CHEST WILL .PROTEC’I‘
WOOL CLOTHING FROM MOTHS
HESTS MADE of red cedar
heartwood are effective, if in
good condition and thoroughly
tight, in protecting clothing from
clothes moths, it has been found by
of
Agriculture. That is, provided prop-
er precautions are taken ﬁrst to

beat, brush and, if possible, sun all ‘

articles before they are placed in
chests. ,

Since it is the odor of red cedar
that kills young moth worms spec-
ial care should be taken to prevent
undue escape of the aroma from the
chests. Chests at all times should
remain tightly closed except when
clothing is being removed or placed
in them, and this procedure should
be accomplished quickly.

Clothes moths during their growth
pass through different stages known
as the adult or ,moth miller, . the
worm or larva; and the pupa stages.
It is only the larva or worm that
damages fabrics. The moth miller
merely lays the eggs from which the
worms hatch. Cedar chests do not
kill the moth miller, its eggs or pu-
pae. -Neither do they kill the larvae
or worms after they have become
one-half to full grown. Cedar chests
it has been found, do kill young
worms. Practically all moth worms
hatching Within the chests die With—
in one or two weeks after hatching
and a surprisingly largeenumbe; die
within two to three days. Of the

' worms hatching within cedar chests

from the 2,074 eggs recorded in ex-
perimental work, none were found
alive one month from the date the
eggs were placed in the chests.

Look at this diagram!

It shows just how proﬁtable the production of butter
or butter-fat has been since 1914, and that it pays just

as big today as ever.

The top line of the black area shows the price of
butter, while the bottom line shows the cost of feed
required to produce a pound of butter. The thickness
of the black area then shows the spread between cost
of feed and price of butter—or the net proﬁt.
example, near the end of 1921, feed to produce a pound
of butter cost 16.9 cents; butter sold for 45.7, leaving
a difference of 28.8 cents per pound, or 170% proﬁt.

Dc Laval Cream Separators have helped more than
any other factor to put the butter business on such a
proﬁtable basisﬁby'saving cream, improving butter in

-:~ EAR CHILDREN: How many

erasers have you worn. out so
far: this, month? I need. a new
ones nearly savory day.
"I write the day of the— month and
the year I write: thoyoar. “1921" in”-
stead of: “1922.” Do you? I bet
you do. I made only one resolu-
tion “this year. I decided I would
dO‘the best I knew how in every
thing I did. I think if we all re-
solve to do that and carry out our
resolution we will not be very bad
people. The Boy Scouts have a
motto I admire and I have made it
mine also. It is, “DO a good turn
daily." Let us all decide to do that,
not only during 1922 but during the
rest of our life upon this earth. I
am going to tell you about the Boy
Scouts and their work. in another is-
sue.

Did you ever hear Of a cat that
was worth $300 a year to anyone?
A man living in Texas has. one he
calls “Tom” and he declares this cat
is worth that much to him. The
man keeps a restaurant and he says
that before he got Tom he lost not
less than $200 a year through rats,
mice and cockroaches. In addition
to this he spent $100 a year for rat
traps, roach powder, etc. uHe se-
cured Tom 9 years. ago and he de-
clares since that time there has not
been a rat, mouse or cockroach in
the restaurant; At this rate Tom
has been worth $2,700 to his owner
already. This remarkable cat is a
cross. between a house cat and a
wild cat and the owner would not
accept and Offer of $1,000! for Tom;
in fact, Tom is not. for. sale at any
price. Tom is. very sociable and all
of the patrons Of the restaurant are
his, friends. Nearly all of» us have
one or two cats, and, although they
may not be worth as, much as Tom,
they are worth considerable when
we stop and think Of what good they
do. We should feed them well and
take good care of them. Don’t you
think so?

You will notice that many of the
letters I am printing this week con-
tain mentions of Christmas coming
and wishes of a “Merry Christmas.”
It may seem strange to you to see
such things in print at this time but
you must remember that all but a.
few of these letters were received
before Christmas and if I left that
part of the letters out it would spoil
the letters.——~UNCLE NED.

AN EXPLANATION
N LOOKING over a copy of the
Business Farmer, I noticed a
slight difference between the let-
ter which was submitted to me for
reply and the letter as it was print-
ed in your paper. The last sentence
in the letter as printed in your paper
states:

“They gave me to understand there was
nothing to it, that I would have to get a.
local veterinarian to take care of same,
and he wants $21 a head for from one to
ten head." ‘ ,

The letter received by me states

“$21 a herd for from one to ten head.”

I have no objection to offer to my
reply as printed; but in view of the
very high price for testing indicated
by the last sentence of the letter as
printed, my statement to the effect
the price mentioned for a subcutan—
eous test is not unreasonable seems
rather ridiclous. -I am not avail in
favor of charging for" this kind of
work .by the head. I do' not believe
a charge of that kind can be. made
that will be fair to both the owner
and the operator. A »

However, I shall state a. charge of
from $20 to $25 for a herd of from
twenty or twenty—five head of cat-
tle is reasonable—SJ. Killham,
Chief veterinarian.

I admire the fearless way in which you
go after the rights and interest: of the
farmer. ‘You certame should have the
loyal support of—‘cveryfammer in thoustate.

TUBERCULIN TESTING

Why is it that the government only
tests pure—bred cattle? I understand’
they will not test gradeS-—A« M., Yp-
silanti. Mich,

The laWS do not shut out the 0m-
ers of grade cattle in the areas in»
which co—operative tuberculin test-
ing is not being conducted. The only
tuberculin testing being conducted‘
by the state and federal bureaus out-
side of the areas in which co-opera-
tive campaigns are being conducted
Is that upon herds in the process of
accreditation. It was agreed at the
outset of the work that the herds to
be accredited should be pure bred
herds. It was realized that the ser-
vice could not be extended to any
great number of herds at the best and
and that if any herds were favored,
it should be the pure bred herds,
which are the foundation of the cat-
tle industry. By pure—bred herds we
do not mean of the herd must be
100‘per cent pure bred. In this state-
it was agreed that a herd containing
approximately 50 per cent or more
pure—breds should be classed as a.
pure—bred herd. A few herds have
been taken in under this plan, which
contain less than 50 per cent purer
breds, it being believed that the ownl
er was building a pure bred herd;
although he did not have the requir—
ed number of pure-breds at the time'-
the work was started, he‘sqon would
have.——B. J. Killham, Chief Veterin--
ariun, Lansing, Mich. _

MUSKEGON DAIRYMEN WILL’
MARKET FLUID MILK
(Continued from page 5)

The feeling of the board me era
as- to their job was well expressed
by the president, Mr. Pierson, when
he said to'the members at the last
meeting, “When you elected us and
told us to go ahead with the job of
putting up the best plant in Mus-
kegon, you gave us a real respon-
sibility, and we have felt the burden
of it. Now the building is ready for
the equipment, and soon we shall be-
gin distributing milk. We directors
will go on, feelinguthat We have 'a
great responsibility in seeing that
things go right, but we want every
member back of us in this business."

The services of Mr. George Niel-
son as manager have been secured.
He is a man of experience in com-
mercial dairy work, and comes from
a similar position with the Muske-
gon Height’s Co—operative Dairy. Mr.
Dalson, also an experienced dairy
man, will assist him, .and in addi-
tion there will be other office and
dairy help. -

MATING DUCKS AND GEESE

Please give me number of geese that
can be mated with one gander, also num—
ber of ducks to one drake—P. A. V.,
Morgan, Mich, -

The number of geese that are or-
dinarily mated with one gander de-
pend primarily upon the purpose or
the mating. If the mating was in-
tended to perpetuate certain desir-
able characteristics of an individu-
al we would resort to the single mat—
ing of one goose with one gander. It
would be necessary to keep the birds
confined in a yard until it was cer-
tain that the pair had mated.

For ordinary market purposes, it
the females and males run‘ together
in large flocks, one gander to three
or four geese is usually maintained.
Higher fertility and stronger hatch-
ing ability of the eggs is usually se—
cured where the stock has access to
swimming pools.

Opinion seems to differ relative to
the number of ducks that should be
mated with one drake. If the ducks
have a scanty supply of water, high-
es fertility is usually obtained by
using three ducks with one drake.
If there is an ample supply of wa-
ter for swimming purposes, then the
ratio can be increased so that the
mating will consist of one drake
to five ducks. E. C. Foreman,
Professor of Poultry Husbandry, M.
A. C.

cattle than during the same period
in 1920; this in spite of the fact
that every cattle raiser in the west-
ern country was forced to liquidate
his holdings in order to secure mon-
ey to meet his pressing obligations.

The great grass country of the
west and southwest is practically
bare of cattle and without them its
inhabitants cannot thrive; this vast
region must be restocked and only
a fool would have the nerve to pre—
dict that this great work of rehabil-
itation will be carried forward with
scrub cattle. The modern cattle-
raiser has learned that there is no
economy in raising: a scrub steer
and the pedigreed herds of beef cat—
tlo, in this country and in Canada,
will be taxed to their full capacity
as the re-stocking process goes for—
ward.

BUSINESS... REVIEW

1381411113.. AN D
~ HE'NEW year-opens with an en:- 1%
m couragingz outlook, for, general

busineSs. undertakings- and. the
opinion. seems. to prevail, that 1922
will .bea banner year from, the stands

point. of.- business done. The, retail
store trade of the lastmonthjnthe
year, has. been emminently. satisfactg
ory but other branches. of, the-mer-
cantile business. ﬁnished rather close
to the bottom. Men of experience
and good judgment think they see
a rift in the financial clouds that
means for much better business.

The demand for pig iron is in-
creasing, rapidly and sales of this
commodity are coming to be of an
every day occurrence. Structural
steel is quiet with production run-
ning on little more than a 30 per
cent basis; the existing stagnation,
in connection with manufactured
steel, is said to be the result of a
desire on the part of buyers to delay
making further commitments until
after the beginning of the new year.
One of the conditions which are de-
pended on to give an impetus to the
steel and iron business, when once
the manufaacturing of the new year
gets under way, is the low prices
which prevail in both these lines.
Men of foresight try to purchase
material for construction purposes
on the lowest possible basis and it
is believed that the ﬁrst advance in
prices will be the signal for everyone
who is need of steel or iron to come
into the market, an action if it
should I become universal, would. send
the market upward at a much higher
rate of speed than that which has
ruled in the decline.

Probably the most serious condi-
tion, which the country must face
at the beginning, of the new year, is
the deplorable plight in which the
farmer ﬁnds himself; with ashrink-
age in the value of many of his pro-
ducts equnl to 50 per cent he‘ is
without money or credit with which
.to ﬁnance his future agricultural and
breeding operations. The silver lin-
ing to this cloud is seen in the fact
that the public at large begins to
appreciate the situation and a move-
ment is on foot which has for its
object: the organization of a corpora-
tion which will furnish ﬁnancial aid
to every t‘nrmcr'in the union that
is need of it. The business of the
country is rapidly finding out that
when the farmer goes broke the
whole country goes broke with him‘.
The calling of a great conference in
the near future by the presidenf for
the purpose of devising some ade-
quate means for relief to the farmer
is one of the encouraging signs of
the times. ‘ -

That great barometer of business,
the New York Stock Exchange, seems
to be handing out some advance tips
in the way of improved values for
all’the specialties traded, in on that
market. It would seem that the pub-
lic-considers the presentmoment an
advantageous time to purchase. in-
dustrials, .rails, equipments and all
other dividend-paying stocks.

Trade regions on, Saturday of last
week and Tuesday of the current
week to put the skids under the
grain marketsand cause, wheat to
slip back seven cents.a‘bushel., The
reason given by the traders was the
failure of a big grain, house and the
near failure of two large Chicago
banks. For a time. the ﬁnancial
condition of many of the big grain
ﬁrms was in question which caused,
it is alleged, undue liquidation. 'It

MARKET SUMMARY

The. old-year closedwithc general feeling of conﬁdence in all

markets with the exception‘gof livestock:

and , dairy products.

Grains which suffered some, the fore part of last week. regained
‘ most 0f their strength, oats, closing the. week at 41 cents, the

highest point reached. in several months.

But the ﬁrst day of.

trading the new year saw avgood deal of selling, and all grains

10st from one to ﬁve cents per bushel-
go to press is distinctly bearish.

The grain situation as we

misdeeds and mistakes. of the hand-
ful of men engaged in the enjoyable
pastime of gambling in his products.

Contrary to our predictionswheat
gained considerable strength the last
week in December but lost it-all the
opening trading day of the new year.

. The market recovered slightly at the

close of the trading Tuesday, but
there was a lack of conﬁdence
which did not augur well for higher
prices. Our exportable surplus of
wheat has been sold and if the Chi-
cago gamblers can get their ﬁnan-
cial affairs in shape. we may have
hopes of higher prices. Otherwise
the least said about the future of
the wheat market the better.-

than it has for some timeduring the
holiday period from Christmas to
New Year's. Dunin‘g the week. be-
fore Christmas the market was very
active and strong. Receipts were
large, amounting to 2.982 cars for
the week, against 1,067 a year ago.
Export demand was good. But last
Week there was a letting up all
along the line; receipts decreased,
demand, bothvdomestic and foreign,
was smaller. and the market was
easy. The final government crop re-
port showing over 70,000,000 bush-
els less than was estimated on Nov-
ember 1st had little effect on the
market as nearly all looked for this
reduction and many believed the
loss would be greater. The failure

of a. large commission house did not
cause the‘ market to ﬂuctuate as
many thought because the greater
part of its holdings were taken
over by other firms and only a small
portion of the grain appeared on
the market. While foreigners were
in the market every day last week
their bids were mostly under pre-
vailing prices and they took little
grain. New corn declined 1c at De-
troit last week but old corn remain-
ed at the level established the
week before.

first of the year predicted some time

ago, but they did reach 41 cents-on
the Detroit market Which is the
highest quotation for several
months. ‘ Commission. firms and
cereal manufacturers who have been
out of the buying for a long time are
showing some interest in oats new.
This market should show a healthier
tone from now on, but higher prices
must await the cleaning up of the
large‘supplies in storage at terminal
points.

times are forcing people to eat
more beans which are still very
cheap in comparison with their food
value and th'eprices. of other foods.
There are no unusual features to the
market at this time, but the Busi-
neSs Farmer fully expects to see a
strong advancing .tendency develop
in beans very soon. Nor, are we
alo in this feeling. The bean mar-
ket has suffered'tlie.worst and. the
longest from over—production and
the consequences of the war. The,

lost but it will regain a large parfb

Before You Buy Any Harness Let Me Send

_ You This Wonderful No-Buckle Harness
On 30 Days’ FREE TRIAL '

The time has come to buy new harness. Thousands will find

their old harness won’t last throu
pay to spend another dollar patc

Before you buy yours, post your-
self on the new improved way of
making harness which has three times
the strength of buckle harness. Let
me send you a set of Walsh N o-Buckle
Harness on Thirty Days’ Trial, just as
thousands in every state in the Union
have done. .

Let me show’you how harness can be
made three times stronger w1thout buckles

-how much better looking—and how‘

much handier in every way. Try the
Walsh on your team thirty days. If not
all I claim, send it back at my expense.
No obligations on your part. This wide
open offer shows that the Walsh must be
an exceptionally good harness. Investi—
gate—post yourself—write today for full
particulars.

' THREE TIMES STRONGER
THAN BUCKLE HARNESS

Buckles weaken and Tear Straps. . As an
example a Walsh 1% inch breeching strap holds
over 1100 lbs. The same strap with the buckle
will break at the buckle at about 350 lbs. pull.
Ordinary harness has 68 buckles. Walsh Har-
ness has no buckles—easy to see why Walsh is
three times stronger, lasts so much longer
without repairs. Walsh Breeching, as well as
all other parts of the harness, are easily adjusted
to ﬁt perfectly any size work horse. 'Mail
coupon for Free Book which shows how Walsh
Harness are made.

Friction—Another Destroyer
of Harness
The constant rubbing or_see-sawing of a
strap against rings or dees lS bound to cut
through the best strap ever tanned. That is
friction, and friction is destroying every old
style harness m use. ’ ,

Yours very truly, JAMES M. WALSH, President

' I am sending you my order for another set of Walsh No—Buckle

my teams equipped with Walsh Harness. I would not think of buy-
ing any more buckle harness. C. G. ANDERSON, Arthur, Minn.

U I have Watched your harness in o eration on m neighbor's

OSCAR BEIMBORN, R. R. No. 3, Box 127‘, F redonia, Wis.

The W alsh certainly can stand all kinds of hard pulling. I
was working with a lot of men in a sand pit. None of the other

 

teams could all out as I did.
All remarke how my Walsh
stood the wear. GUST STEI—
GERWALD, P. 0. Box 266,

Ihave used my Walsh har-
ness two years now, and I con—
sider it greatest harness on mar-
ket today. When I buy more
harness it will be a Walsh. HARRY

‘ I have had praise from hun-
dreds of people over my Walsh
harness. Have used It hard
for 3 years, and it shows prac-
tically no wear at all.

I have used my Walsh for all
kinds of work, and I amyell
pleased with it. It adjusts
quicker, and easier than buckle
harness. I .can harness the
horses in dark 0 .in'the light,
or with mitten on quicker
than with buckle harness.
