Governor Demands Roads Lower Freight Rates A

Interstate Commerce Commission Petitioned to Remove Discrimination against

:OWRNOR GROESBE’CK has caused an order
to be issued to railways operating in this
state to show cause why the “zoning” system
which was foisted upon the state. during the we:
should not be done away with and Michigan
freight rates put on a par with those of other
states. It is alleged that as a result of this sys-
tem many sections of the state are paying the
highest freight rates of the entire country. The
man hit the hardest by this discrimination is the
dunner who pays the biggest freight bill of all.
The Public Utilities Commission has known for
some time that this discrimination existed but it
has failed to act lost it might incur the die-
pleusure of the Interstate Commerce Commission
which has stripped most of the state railway
commissions of their powers for daring to rake
voice against railway rates and practices. But
the state commission has finally reached the con-
clusion that it might as well be shorn of its pow-
er as to have it and not be ableto use it. Hence,
the order. : The date of the hearing has been set
tor February 15th at Lansing.

HOW MICHIGAN FARLIERS ARE HIT

In an address to Farmers‘ Week visitors Gov-
ernor Groesbeck cited a number of instances in
which farmers 01 this state were being discrimi-
nated against. A portion of his statement is as
follows:

“With respect of distance from the sections of
Michigan which most substantially produce po-
tatoes, hay, grain, dairy products and farm and
orchard products generally, Michigan is more ad-
vantageously located than is Wisconsin, one of its
progressive competing states. Notwithstanding
the differences in distance in favor at Michigan
territory, the adjustments to freight rates are
such as to make the costs of transporting Michi-

 Michigan Curtail

E proposal to sell another $10,000,000

worth of state highway bonds in 1922 has
brought a storm of protest from the tax-ridden
farmers. The state's present bonded indebted-
ness is $50,000,000 on which it is paying over
810,000 a day interest. Computed annually this
interest charge represents about onesixth of the
total state tax for the current year. A. B. Cook,
master of the Michigan State Grange, insists that
no more bonds be issued, but that all tuture road
building be ﬁnanced by the levy of a. direct tax.
He has asked the members or the State Grange
to circulate petitions with this end in view, and
expects to secure the support of at least 50,000
rtarmers. Mr. Cook’s plan has the pantial sup-
port at least of the Michigan State Farm Bureau,

To these demands State Highway Commiuion-

The controversy takes us back nearh three

ment to the constitution authoring the issuance
of $50,000,009 road bonds, the question arose u
tohowmzny.ifanrbonds.shouldbeisnedm

Far-er declared the]! as follows:

"Michigan Business Farmer supported the
bond issue because it believed that the legislature
should not be handicapped by in. ‘c of funds in
Oarrying out the good roads program. But the
Michigan Business Farmer is unalterably opposed
to the] issuance of a single bond. providing the

gun's products to the principal important and
competitive markets much greater than are the
costs of transporting the same commodities from
the more distant points in other states.

"Distances considered and in consideration of
what are or should be the natural markets for
Michigan’s farm products, the rates paid by the
Michigan farmers are actually and relatively
higher than can be found in any other compar-
able section of the United States.

“To illustrate——Waupaca, Wisconsin, is the
price basing market tor the Wisconsin potato
shippers. The distance from Wauptco to Chicaso
i322}. miles; therateonpotatoeeisz3 cents
per one hundred pounds. The distance from
Bart, Michigan to Chicago, is 234 miles and the
rate on potatoes is 36 cents per one hundred
pounds, a disadvantage of 13 miles in distance
and 13 cents per one hundred pounds in freight
charges. To Toledo, Ohio, the distance from
Waupaca, Wisconsin is 409 miles and the rate
is 35 1-2 cents. From Hart, Michigan the dis—
tance is 266 miles and the rate is 35 1—4 cents.
In this instance Hart, Michigan has an advantage
of 145 miles in distance” but no advantage in
freight rate. The distance from Waupaca, Wis-
consin, to Cincinnati, is 505 miles and the freight
rate is 35 1—2 cents. From Cadillac, Michigan
the distance is 595 miles and the freight rate is
40 cents, Cadillac having an advantage of 110
miles in distance and a disadvantage of 4 1-2
cents per one hundred pounds in freight rate.
From.Waupaca, Wisconsin to Detroit the distance
is 376 miles and the freight rate is 35 1-2 cents.
From Greenville to Buffalo the distance is 349
miles and the freight rate is 35 1—2 cents. In
this instance ‘Greenville is 37 miles nearer Buff—

Her state and Federal Road Building Program?

If funds are needed immediately to carry on the
road work for the current year (1919) it will pro-
bably be necessary to sell some bonds. But we
believe that all of the money that can be spent
with economy next year and the next and the
next can and should be raised by direct tax in-
stead oi irom the sale of more bonds.”

In this opinion Auditor General Fuller,
“watch-dog of the state treasury“ concurred and
still does. At the time the above was written
Mr. Fuller said to the editor of this paper: “It
is not necessary to issue bonds to secure all the
required funds that can be spent with economy
in the building of roads. The people will have
large enough tax burdens to bear the next
twenty—ﬁve years without putting on their
shoulders that enormous interest charge on $50,-
060,000 worth of bonds.”

In hopes that the legislature might be induced
to go sparineg in the Nuance at bonds the editor
suggested four itinerant methods by which the
money could be raised to carry out the road
building Program. Tables compiled to illustrate
these plans showed that if bonds were issued at
the rate of $5,000,000 per year they would all
be dispomd of at the end of 1928, but that the

do than Waupoca is to Detroit but pays the same »
rate for the haul. To Pittsburg, one of the most
important potato markets, the distance from
Waupaca, Wisconsin is 651 miles and the freight
rate is 44 cents. From Cadillac, Michigan the
distance is 410 miles or 181 miles less than from
Wanpaca and the freight rate is 42 1-2 cents. 
In this instance an advantage in distance of 181 
miles yields an advantage in freight rate of only
1 1—2 cents per one hundred pounds. ,
“In the Pittsburg market it appears that an
advantage to Cadillac of 181 miles in distance
gives Cadillac only 1. 1-2 cents advantage in-
freight rate over Waupaca, Wisconsin. To Chi-
cage, Illinois the distance tram Cadillac-is only . 
61 miles greater than from Waupaca but that [55
places Cadillac at a disadvantage of a 13 cents
per one hundred pounds freight rate. The rates.
on apples, beans, hay, onions, potatoes and
straw in earload lots from Fort Wayne to Grand
Rapids, 142 miles, is 26 ’cents. From Traverse
City to Grand Rapids, 145 miles, the rate is 28
1—2 cents. From Chicago, Illinois to Detroit, 272
miles, the rate is 31 cents. From Chéboygan, 
Michigan to Detroit, 275 miles, the rate is 35 1-2 s?
cents. J 
“The principal reason why rates on farm pro-
ducts from Michigan points to all competitive
markets are so much higher than are the rates
from points in other states such as Wisconsin not-
withstanding the fact of much less shorter hauls
from Michigan points is that without exception
class rates, and principally the ﬁfth class rates,
are applied to Michigan shipments whereas from
all other and competing agricultural states spe—
cial and speciﬁc commodity rates much lower
than would be their class rates are applied. The
only exception is with respect of rates on grain.
Because of representations (Continued on page 23)

 

burden of retiring them and paying the interest ‘
would run on for another ﬁfteen years. Up to
the present time not a single bond has been re-
deemed although lt was originally planned to re»
tire $2,000,000 worth each year beginning with
1920. Failure to retire any portion of these
bonds now will run up a larger interest item
than originally anticipated, and means placing a
heavy mortgage upon the future which cannot be
paid off for at least a quarter of a century. It v
was calculated that the interest on these bonds
would represent a sum of money sufﬁcient to
construct approximately 190 miles or concrete,
400 miles of macadam and 900 miles of gravel
roads.

Had the legislature issued no bonds but levied
a direct tax the rate to raise $5,000,000 would
have been 81.20 per thousand on the 1918 vul—
uation. The total rate to build $50,000,000
worth of roads would have been 312 per thous-
and. But the total rate to build the same amount
of roads by the issuance of bonds will be 317 per
thousand, the diiference being due to the inter-
est. Again the question arises, “Is it greater
economy to build $50,000,000 worth of roads at
a cost of $12 per thousand valuation or $17?”

A copy of these tables was placed in the hands
of every member of the legislature and had the
effect of inﬂuencing the legislature to agree upon ,
a somewhat more conservative road building ,
policy than some of the good roads zealots were
seeking. But the highway department has been
insistent in its demands for more money and the
1921 legislature took the bars down and opened
the way for a riot of spending. Economy, he
been sacriﬁced to speed and there are numberle.
instances of waste and inediciency. g '

In order that the Business Partner may intel-e.
ligen'tly represent readers views on the pending
issue we urge every reader to write us his or her,
views upon the subject. Shall the state issue a
road bonds in 1922? Or shall the state issue 11’
more road bonds at all" but pursue a pay-ap-yo
go policy? ‘ " -

A furore was created among the farm bureau

newspaper appeared upon the Campus with the

any such condition. The ﬁnancial statement of
the Bureau showed that approximately

entered happily together into the occa-

‘Night after night the great gymna-
sium was thronged to the doors by dirt
farmers, their wives and children, mem—
bers of the student body and interested
folk from the nearby city of Lansing.
A number of the speakers scheduled to

place on the program due to a variety
of causes. These included J. R. How-
ard, president American Farm Bureau
Federation; David Friday, president

State Grange; but by the substitution
of other speakers the program was car—
ried out to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned.

Neither hard times nor inclement
weather seemed to have much effect
upon the size of the attendance or the
spirits of those who came. Because of
the increased necessity for economy
this year the college authorities were
prepared for a much smaller attend—

College Heads who Welcomed Farmer Guests

32,000 members Were delinquent in
the payment of their 1921 dues leaving
a total of 65,000 paid-up and in good
standing. «The percentage ot delinqu-
ent members is larger than the pre-
ceedi'ng year, Secretary Brody explains,
because of the low ﬁnancial condition
of the tiarmers and the desire of the
Bureau to give them more time when
needed to make their payments.
Secretary Brody’s report discussed
the problem of ﬁnancing the Bureau
after the expiration of the ﬁrst three
years. He recommended and the con-
vention decreed that another inten-
sive membership drive be carried on,
a study of the situation indicating that
from sixty to seventy-ﬁve per cent of
the original membership can be signed
up a second time. The secondary aim
of another membership drive is to cre-
ate a surplus fund of a, million dollars
which invested in good securities would
yield the Bureau an income sufﬁcient
to meet all overhead expenses for all
time to come. '
BUREAU REVISES POLITICS STAND
The delegates revised the Bureau’s
stand on participation in political af—
fairs to the extent of permitting ofﬁcers

 

 

not quite, as large as a year ago. Pos—

sibly there was a little less gaiety. Possibly the
enthusiasm and the jolliness did not bubble up
quite so spontaneously as a year ago, but if so
it were only natural for there was probably not
a farmer present who had not been “deﬂated”
and was considerably poorer in the world’s goods
than he was a year ago. Adversity has a habit
of drawing folks closer together and while the
crowd might have been more sober—minded than
on like occasions of other years, this but served
to make them more friendly and interested in
each other.

The ﬁrst two days of the week were warm
and ﬁne. The third day it rained. The fourth
it snowed and the wind howled about the
campus. The ﬁfth it snowed some more. But
neither rain nor snow, wind or blizzard kept the
crowd 'away. Each day witnessed fresh arrivals
by automobile, steam and electric railway. All
meetings were well attended and all attractions
and exhibits had their full quota of spectators.

In years gone by the M. A. C. has been ac-
cused of being a “high-brow” institution and of
holding aloof from the farmers of the state. But
if such an attitude ever prevailed it is gone. Not
a vestige remains. Every individual connected
with the college, from Acting President Shaw

every guest felt a keen appreciation of the cor-
dial reception accorded and the splendid enter—
tainment provided. The Business Farmer pre-
dicts that with a continuation of this happy com-
radeship between college authorities and farmers
the time will come when-the present facilities of
the M. A. C. will be wholly inadequate to take
care of the great body of farmers who will come
there in constantly increasing numbers to enjoy
the festivities of Farmers’ Week. So mote it be.

FARM BUREAU HOLDS ANNUAL

HE annual meeting of the Michigan State
T Farm Bureau was as usual the big event of
Farmers’ Week, Delegates attended from every
farm bureau county of the state. Rumors that
factions which were ousted from the Bureau a
year ago would try to stage a come-back were
apparently without foundation or else ﬁnding so
little encouragement the dissenters withheld
their program from the convention. The con-
tests for the various offices were few and unim-
portant. The vote on both ofﬁcers and resolu-
tions showed a surprising unanimity of opinion
and a desire to avoid anything which might be
construed as a criticism of the work of the ofﬁc-
ers or a division in the ranks.

' to engage in management or control of
“educational, administrative or regulatory insti-
tutions having to'do primarily with agriculture.”
The original constitution did not permit an ofﬁcer
or representative to hold any public oﬁce of any
nature whatsoever as long as ofﬁcially connected
with the Bureau. The real purpose of the amend-
ment was to enable Secretary Brody to retain his
position on the State Board of Agriculture.

The board of directors was increased to eleven
members in order to give each of the four com-
modity organizations, viz., the .Michigan Potato
Growers Exchange; the Michigan Milk Producers’
Ass’n; the Michigan Live Stock Exchange and,
the Michigan Elevator Exchange, representation
on the Board.

The convention vigorously denounced the pro-
posed amendment to the state constitution to
eliminate the moiety clause in the Constitution
and place representation upon a purely popula—
tion basis. Opposition was also announced to
the proposed commission form of government
for counties.

Agricultural credit and usury practices came
in for discussion and resolutions were adopted
urging that every effort be made to secure for
the farmer adequate long and short term credit
accommodations from all sources available, and

The‘ conven-

tion went on re-
cord as favoring the adoption of the amendment
to be submitted next fall to provide for a state
income tax, and recommended that in the event
of the adoption of the amendment the legislature
pass an income tax law which will secure suﬂi—'
cient revenue to "pay all state expenses and dis—
place the general property tax for state purposes,
the surplus if any to be used to retire the sold-
iers’ bonus bonds. A tax of one per cent per
gallon on gasoline was also approved.

Another resolution which reveals the increas—
ing desire for closer harmony and cooperation
between farm organizations urged that a joint
meeting be called of Farm Bureaus, Grange,
Gleaners and Farmers’ Clubs “to conduct a sys—
tematic campaign to secure the adop-
tion of such measures as will aid
the property and welfare of the citi-
zens of this great state of Michigan.

Other resolutions adopted opposed
the further issue of tax exempt
bonds, reconfmended that the pro-
perty of municipally owned util-
ities lying outside the corporate lim-
its be placed upon the tax rolls of the
townships in which it is located,
that the stock of all trust, ﬁnance,
mortgage companies and building
and loan associations be assessed and

_~taxed on the same basis as the stock
of state and national banks, that
the state reimburse from the primary
school funds all school districts for
the sums paid out for tuitions of its
students in high schools, that the
motor vehicle license money which
is returned to the county be placed
_in the control of the board of super-
visors instead of the county road
commission, that the state adminis~
trative board be requested to sus-
pend the issuing of any state high-
way bonds during the year 1922,

Does—the Average Farmer Do a Gross Business of Only $1,500 a Year? *

STIMATES secured from 237 farmers in 12

communities show that on the average 80
acre farm, gross income last year was $1,470,
cash expenses $97 5, is the statement made by Mr.
H. B. Killough, farm management demonstrator,
Michigan Agricultural College, who has been
working with farmers over the state for the last
two months in an effort to determine what the av-
erage net farm income is under present condi-
tions of low prices and high costs.

“I have estimated that I can sell $3,500 worth
of produce next year off of a one-hundred acre
farm at prevailing prices,” says an Eaton county
farmer. “Am I too high?” Here is a man who
is thinking from the top down; too many of us
do our thinking piece-meal fashion from the bot—
tom up. Surely, if gross sales are only $1,500
and cash expenses are $1,000 the net income'is
not very .large. Are you unable to ﬁnd a way to
add a few dollars to your gross income next year
without working all day Sunday?

How much did you sell last year? A record
of sales is easily kept; a farmer’s turnover is once
a yearzand he ’seldom has to deliver a dimes
worth of wheat or ﬁfteen cents worth of pig.

Resolutions also endorsed the work of the

the State Farm Bureau “in the methods of devel-
oping commodity control ‘in co-operative market-
ing, and their friendly co-operation with the
farmers’ organizations,” endorsed the lakes-to-

HON. JOHN C, KETCHAM
Mich. Congressman who brought
Message from Washington

who pose as the
farmers’ friends
are still warning
him to “keep out of politics,” yet there is no sub-
ject in which he is more greatly interested or con-
cerns him more vitally. Ketcham’s defense of
the farm bloc, of pending farm legislation and his
words of approval of the tax program of the
Michigan farmers, as well as his plea for a
square deal to all, brought forth loud and long
applause from his audience.

Mr. Ketcham told of the activities of the agri-
cultural bloc of which he is a member. He de-
scribed how the House of Representatives had
passed the surtax bill cutting the tax on incomes
over $68,000 from 60 to 32 per cent but making
no reduction in the «tax on lesser incomes, how
the bill went over to the Senate, was attacked by
the agricultural bloc, amended by in-
creasing lthe rates on large incomes.
from 32 to 50 per cent and reducing
the rate on lesser incomes, sent back
to the house where the house bloc
was organized and mustered enough
votes to pass the Senate amend-
ments. .This was one of several in-
stances which he recited of the large
inﬂuence of the bloc. He told his
audience that the bloc .would survive
all criticism because it stood only
for a square deal to all parties con-
cerned, and he warned that if it
strayed from its avowed purposes
and enacted class legislation it
would fall into disrepute and lose its
power just as the labor and capital
blocs had done.

The congressman lauded Michi-
gan farm leaders for their efforts to
work in harmony and recalled to
mind the time not so very long ago
when «the “president of the Farm
Bureau, the master of the State
Grange, the president of the Clean-
ers and the president of the Farm-
ers’ clubs could (Continued on page 16)

farm to $3,600 on an eighty not two miles away. ;

Maximum net income is the ﬁnal goal. High-
er prices, more sales, less expense may all have
a similar effect in increasing net income. What
are some of the big items of expense on an eighty
acre farm? 2

1. Taxes—$200, a ﬁxed expense.

2. Insurance—$20, well spent.

3. Feed bought—$200. Suppose I check upon
my feeding once a month and ﬁgure out a bal-
anced ration for cows, hogs and hens. It may
make the feed bill less or it may make it more.
Either way chances are that more milk, hogs;
and eggs will be sold for every $100 worth of ;
feed you use. If not, better sell the boarder cow
and cull the poultry. The bill for hired labor:
How much is it?
not the milk ﬂow from the dairy herd begin aft-
er potatoes are dug and silos are ﬁlled in the fall
and decrease in busy spring and summer months?
Is threshing over before bean pulling begins?
When is the haying season? Does the farmer l
with a large net income cultivate more acres per 

man and per horse because he works more hou»ra_,.'i V
a day or because he works more days a year?  

  

“More work, better seed, more potatoes and no
price,” says a Montcalm county farmer.”

DUTIES OF SHERIFF

A neighbor’s child comes to your house
frightened and says her father has
threatened to kill them all and wants you
to call the sheriff by phone and you tell
the sheriff and he says he cannot come
unless they come personally and swear
out a warrant for his arrest. This makes
the second time our sheriff has refused
to go on such a call, perhaps he is right,
but what is a sheriff for if it is not to go
on such calls. When the party tells the
sheriff who is calling, etc. So- I am writ-
ing to you for an answer.—Re’ader.

ENTITLED TO RECOVER ON
SHEEP KILLED BY DOG

In 1916 I had seven sheep killed by
dogs in Saginaw county. I was allowed
$5.00 per head but as there were several
other claims in and not enough money in
the dog fund to cover the total I re-
ceived but $5.00 on my share. Am I still
entitled to the balance of $30 and, if so,
how should I proceed to get it?——S. B.,

Your claim for damages is good
until paid if there is enough col-
lected in the dog fund to pay the
same. You should take up the mat-

TAXES AND W6
As just radius a piece iron
Mt. Clemens Monitor, saying
it would make the taxpayer
grind to pay his taxes this year. But
it. was just what he voted for. Now
how many people in our county vote
for raising money that never pay
one dollar tax and never will.
They don’t care if we lose our
home or not. There was $60,000

~votcd for to build a county hospital

for a few poor people. Word comes
they have used $96,000 and are not
done yet. Who voted for that. Who
voted to raise our county‘ofﬁcials’
salary. and who will pay that? And
now it is our country schools. We
are satisﬁed our children are heal—
thy and as far advanced as the city
children but they want another
chance to rob us, make three times
the school tax we have now.

The farm papers talk of helping
the farmer and sending people to
Washington to help us.

It looks like a farce to me rior
they are robbing us at every turn.
Men we trusted and put in ofﬁce are
taking the bread out of our chil-
dren’s mouths, and our homes.
Truly we are surrounded by thieves.
Our tax for 1921 is three times as
much as it was in 1918 and no di-
rect road tax either.

So you see what help we are gelt-
ting. It would be some better if
people who do not pay tax could not
vote to raise money, but as it is we
will soon he done paying taxes.—
O‘ld Subscriber, Macomb County,
Mich.

Yes, it does seem a little hard upon
the tamym to lot non-taxpayers vote
upon questions involving the expenditure
of money. There is no doubt but what
a. good many bonding propositions and
other schemes to spend the people’s
money would never had been authorized
without the non-taxpayer’s vote. The

county hospital you speak of was needed,
very badly. Conditions at the county

farm were such that no self-respecting”

community could permit them any longer.
Seems like a large sum of money they
are spending, however. But it has to be
done sooner or_1ater and doing it now
means that it will not have to be taken
care of later. The trouble is that we
have authorized too many money-spend-
ing projects in too short a period of time.
This is true of state, county, city and
town. The Business Farmer is frankly
Worried over the tax problem and won-

SANTA CLAUS

JUST ﬁnished reading Uncle

Rube’s letter to the kiddies, in

regard to Christmas, in the Jan.
14th issue of the M. B. F. and I
honestly must say I do not approve
of it. I believe it very wrong to im—
press on the mind of a. child the
thought that there is such a person
as Santa Claus. For the time will
come, when they will be made to
realize that there is nothing to it.
So why try and make a child believe
such stuff.

I would far rather have my chil—
dren know that the presents they re—
ceive at Christmas, come from papa
and mama, than from some mys—
terious person, whom no one has
ever seen. But that is not the real
issue; it is putting Santa Claus in
the fore-ground, and putting the
Christ Child in the background.

I believe that every christian
father and mother ought to teach
their children the real essence of
Christmas, and impress on their
young minds that we celebrate it to
commemorate the greatest gift that
was ever given to mankind, the gift
of God to the world, of his own dear
Son, and that through that gift, we
might have eternal life; and that
when this child became a man, he
gave out the invitation, “Suﬁer the
children to come unto me and forbid
them not, for of such is the Kingdom
of Heaven.” _

To tell the kiddies that” the
thought of there not being a Santa
Claus, is preposterous, and that the
people are cruel and wicked, who
claim there is no Santa Claus, is im-
pressing thc child’s mind with a

wrong thought.

Then again. the child reasons
things. For instance, a poor family
and a. w/ell-to-do family, live across
the street from each. other. The

children or

\ ..

     

the poor tsmllyrm given _,

  

to understand that Sonia  is
muthisyoar, “willth
able to give rthem much, and that

they must not expect much. Vary
well, after Christmas morning the
poor children cull- cn the children
or the woll—to—do family, and tote
note at the nice and expensive proo-
onts Santa Claus has given them.
and mind you itis the some Suits
Claus. And then they reason to
themselves, it Santa Claus ms rich
enough to give the wolHo-do
tamily’ children such nice presents,
he surely ought to he table to give
them the same. And so they con-
sider that they did not get a square
deal. and they become dissatisﬁed
with their own presents, whereas, if
they had been informed of the true
state of things, they would have been
contented.

Our children are grown up now,
but we never deceived them, they
knew who was the giver of the
presents they recieved. Now I am
sure Uncle Rube will pardon me for
writing this‘way, and ﬁnding fault;
but it grieves my heart to think that
the Christ Child is put in the back-
ground, and the kiddies made to be-
lieve that all Christmas is for is be-
cause on that day Santa Claus comes
to bring them presents, which they
in later years must. ﬁnd out is noth—
ing but a delusion after all. And
then they lose their respect and rev-
erence for the day in which our
Saviour was born—Luke Hyman,
St. Clair County, Mich.

People do wrong who do not teach
their children the true meaning of Christ-
mas at the same time they ﬁre their
little imaginations with stories of Santa
Claus. But it is very hard to make little
children understand the great deity called
God. and harder still to make them \md-
erstand how He gave His son for the
salvation of mankind. They may ask
us who God is and where He lives. we
tell them God is our father and that He
lives in the heavens. In a. sense of the
word we deceivo them for even we our-
selves do not know the abode of God.
As a. matter of fact we cannot impress
these little minds with the great spiritual
truths without deceiving them. We must
resort to simile, metaphor, personiﬁca-
tion and other ﬁgures of speech in order
to convey to them a. picture which will

form an impression upon their
But we cannot move them to under-
standing by abstract instruction, How

much easier it is to paint them a. picture
of a big jolly fellow who lives at the
North Pole and each year drives his gal-
loping reindeer through the sky hear-
ing gifts to good little boys and girls.
Here the idea of reward for being good
is impressed upon their minds. True, it
is a material reward. but they are' too
young to understand the spiritual re-
ward, and when they are old enough to
know that Santa Claus is not a physical
being they will be old enough to under-
stand somo‘hing of the spiritual. But
the incentive that has been given them
for being good will have had its effect.
One of my little girls will not reach
another Christmas without knowing that
Santa Claus is a myth. She suspects
as much now. She said the other day:

“Mama, is there really a Santa Claus?”,.

"Well, haven’t you seen him?" was the
reply. “Y-e—s,” she said hesitatingly, ‘it
I could see you and daddy and
grandpa and grand-ma. sitting there on
the couch together and Santa. Claus
came, then I’d believe for sure he was
real.” Before next Christmas comes
around she will know the truth and then
will be the time to take her on our lap
and tell her as best we can what Santa.
Claus typiﬁes and why we havo taught
her to believe in him. She will not be
disappointed, for the 'truth will have
«dawned on her gradually. Having an—
tertained a. belief in a Santa. Claus will
I am sure. more readily accept and un-
derstand the divinity of God and Christ.
By all means let us teach our children
early in life to know and love Christ and

BEST YAHETXES 0F APPLES TO
' PLANT

HERE on more than a thousand

[ varieties of apples. The wise

, orchardi'shmay choose half a
damn. Later he will wish he had
three or four.

Of all varieties the Spy has been
called the king of apples. Probably
no variety has more friends. The
chief objection is the long wait be-
fore a crop of importance is to be
had. Fiﬁteen years is hardly long
enough. But by new methods a crop
can be had in seven or eight years,
which ought to double the popu—
larity of this tree among planters.

The Baldwin has been a favorite,
but not:’ it is little planted. The
trees do not stand the winters of the
northern apple district and in warm-
er localities the fruit is poor. Ac-
cording to the government reports
there were few Baldwin trees left
uninjured by the winter of 1917-18.

An old variety that still has many
friends is the Rhode Island Green-
ing. It does not bring the highest
price on account of the color, but it
is a reliable bearer and is always in
demand by those who know it. 'Un-
fortunately, the Northwestern Green-
ing, an inferior variety, has been
sold for it, which has brought it into
disrepute. .

Few apples sell better than the
Fameuse or Snow. It is liable to ap—
ple scab and the disease of a similar

"nature, but when well sprayed there
is little trOuble from this source.

The Red Canada is a ﬁrm fruit,
but a poor tree. It<seems to do best
when top—workedon some more vig-
orous stock.

Probably no apple has been the
cause of more profanity than the
Ben Davis. But the tree bears when
others do and when others do not.
The fruit is poor when other apples
are good, but good when others are
gone, which is in the spring and
early summer. Many orchard men
claim that it has been the most pro-
ﬁtable of any variety. But with im-
proved facilities for keeping and
marketing better kinds, the Ben Da—
vis is not so promising for the fu-
ture. ~

As an apple of quality theDeli-
cious has a place among the best.
Some orchardists prefer top-worked
trees of this variety.

The McIntosh is larger than the
Snow and of excellent quality. It’s
dark red color makes it very attrac-
tive. There is considerable com-
plaint about the liability to drop.

Among the varieties that begin
bearing early the Jonathan is the
most popular. The fruit is of good
quality and beautiful to look at So
many Jonathans have been set that
there has been some fear of an over-
supply, but thus far the market has
not had too much of the fruit.

The Grimes’ Golden Pippin is an
apple of ﬁne ﬂavor and attractive
appearance. The tree bears early
and so heavily that thinning ought
not to be neglected. Unfortunately,
unless the tree is carefully, grown
crutches will form which are easily
broken by the load of fruit.

The Wagoner is the ﬁrst tree to
begin bearing and the ﬁrst to begin
dying of old age. For these reasons
it has been recommended for a “ﬁll—
er,” among varieties slow to bear.
This kind of an orchard is good in
theory, but is not looked upon with
as much favor as formerly. However,
an orchard of Wagoners, planted
aloneon heavy soil should be good
for many years.

For the fall varieties the Wealthy
and the Duchess are most in favor.
In some places the Gideon is in de-
mand. It is inferior in quality, but
is good for cooking.

Now from this it may he conclud-
ed that' there are no. safer varieties
than the Spy, Greening and Snow or
McIntosh. If top—worked trees are
allowed, the Red Canada and the
Delicious might be included. That
will make ﬁve varieties, which is
found to be enough in commercial
orchards that are at some distance

but for a shorter time. The object
in this case is to get as’much as pos-
sible in a comparatively few years.
‘ In the other case the orchard is an
investment for the future, slower to
continue proﬁtable for a long period.

If there is a good market near
enough for trucking, the summer
and fall varieties are good. Red

Astrachan, but not many, followed

HORSESHOE PITCHING-

 

IT is our opinion that the farm family is as
much entitled to healthy amusement as
city folks and that horseshoe pitching is just
as gond sport and requires just as much
skill as golf or tennis. The Business Farmer
is encouraging township, county and state-
wide championship gumes to find a NIichignn
challenger for the national championship.
We invite correspondence from those inter—
ested and will send a copy of the National
Rules free on request addressed to the
Horseshoe Editor. The Business Farmer,
Clemens, Mich.

 

JACKSON COUNTY SERIES

We are very interested in horseshoe
pitching in this community. We had a
contest last pctobor. The contest was
staged by the Slummet Farmers’ (‘lub at
my farm, and the prizes awarded were
gold-plated horseshoes. Both men and
ladies played. The men played each for
himself while the laides played in teams
of two. Mr~ Eli Rainey won the gentle-
men’s prize and Miss Pauline Kennedy
and Arlene Lyons won the ladies’ prize.
I vgnture to say that these girls can beat
any girls of their age in the state. We
have teams of men that would like to
play any other ,county,

I see that the standard distance to
pitch is forty feet. We hays been pitch—
ing 36. What is the standard distance
for ladies and how heavy should the
shoes be?

We have good times during the sum— I

mer playing the game. We meet and plav
nearly every week. And we have some
very good players. We would like to

hear from other pitchers—Edwin Lyons, '

Jackson County, Mich,

Glad to hear about your contest
and if there were any others held in
the state during the past year I
would like to know about ‘them. Or
if you are going to hold a series of
games let me put a notice in this
department. The standard distance
recommended for woman pitchers is
30 feet. The shoes are of the same
weight as those used by the men. Is
there a team from some county that
would like to play the Jackson coun—
ty champions?» If there is write me
and I will arrange the matter for
you.

(Continued from last week)

AD two or three attacked him at
once he would have died as
quickly as the ﬁrst two of his
enemies had come to their end.
Numbers saved him in the ﬁrst rush.
On the level of the plain he would
have been torn into pieces like a bit
of cloth, but on the space at «the top
of the kopie, no larger than the top

conds under the snarling and rend-
ing horde of his enemies. Fangs in-

ﬂesh; the madness of the pack be-
came a blind rage, and the assault
upon Miki turned into a slaughter
of the wolves themselves. On his
back, held down by the weight of
bodies, Miki drove his fangs again
and again into ﬂesh. A pair of jaws
seized him in the groin, and a shock
of agony swept through him. It
was a death-grip, sinking steadily
into his Vitals. Just in time another
pair of jaws seized the wolf who held
him, and the hold in his groin gave
way. (In that‘moment Miki felt him—
self plunging down the steep side of
ﬂhe kno’ll, and after him cam-e a half
of what was left alive of the pack.

The ﬁghting devils in Miki’s brain
gave way all at once to that cun-
ning of the fox which had served
him even more than claw and
fang in times of great danger. Scar-
cely had he reached the plain before
he was on his feet, and no sooner
had he touched his feet than he was
off like the wind in direction of the
river. He had gained a ﬁfty-yard
start before the first of the wolves
discovered his ﬂight. There were
only eight that followed him now.
0f the thirteen mad beasts ﬁve were
dead or dying at the foot of the hil-
lock. Of these Miki had slain two.
The others had fallen at the fangs
of their own brethren.

Half a mile away, were the steep
cliffs of the river, and at the edge
of these cliffs was a great cairn of
rocks in which for one night Miki
had sought shelter. He had not for—
gotten the tunnel into the tumbled
mass of rock debris, nor how easily
it could be defended. from within.
Once in that tunnel he would turn in
the door of it and slaughter his
enemies one by one, for only one by
one could they attack him. But he
had not reckoned with that hugh
gray form behind him that might
have been named Lightning, the
fiercest and swiftest of all the mad
wolves of the pack. He sped ahead
of his slower—footed companions like
a streak of ﬂight, and Mtiki had made
but half the distance to the cairn
when he heard the panting breath
of Lightning behind him. Even
Hela, his father, could not have run
more swiftly than Miki, but great
as was Miki’s speed, Lightning ran
more swiftly. Two thirds of the
distance "co the cliff and the huge
wolf’s muzzle was at Miki’s ﬂank.
With a burst of speed Miki gained
a little. Then steadily Lightning
drew abreast of him, a grim and
merciless shadow of doom. ’

A hundred yards farther on and
a (little to the right was the cairn.
But Miki could not run to the right
without turning into Lightning’s
jaws, and he realized now that if
he reached the cairn his enemy
would be upon him before he could
dive into the tunnel and face about.
To stop and ﬁght would be death,
for behind he could hear. the other
wolves. Ten seconds more and the
chasm of the river yawned ahead
of them.

At its‘very brink Miki swung. and
struck at Lightning.‘ He sensed
death now, and in the face of death
all his hatred turned upon the one
beast that had run at his side. In
an instant they were down. Two
yards from the edge of the cliff, and
Miki’s jaws were at

beauty her hair had remained.

    

The earth ﬂew out from under their
feet, and they were  space. Grimly
Miki held to the throat ofhis foe.
Over and over they twisted in mid-
air, and then came a terriﬁc shock.
Lightning was under. Yet so great
was the shock, that, even though the
wolf’s huge body was under him like
a cushion, Miki was stunned and
dazed. A minute passed before he
struggled to his feet. Lightning lay
still, the life smashed out of him.
A little beyond him lay the bodies
of two other wolves that in their
wild rush had swept over the cliff.

Mii-ki look-ed up. ‘ Between him
and the stars he could see the top
of the cliff, a vast distance above
him. One after the other he smelled
at the bodies of the three dead
wolves. Then he limped slowly
along the base of the (cliff until he
came to a ﬁssure between two huge
rocks. Into this he crept and lay
down, licking his wounds. After
all there were worse things in the
world than Le Beau’s trapline. Per-
haps there were even worse things
than men.

After a time he stretched his
great (head out between his fore—
paws, and slowﬂy the starlight
grew dimmer, and the snow less
white, and he slept. '

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

N a twist of Three Jackpine River,
burned in the deep of the fore-st
between the Shamattawa country

and Hudson Bay, Was the cabin in
which rlIived Jacques Le Beau, the
trapspelr. There was not another
man :in all that wilderness who was
the equal \of Le Beau iln wickedness
——ulnl-elss‘ it was Durant, who hunti-
ed foxes a hundred miles north, and
who was Jacques’s rival in several
things. A‘ giant :in size, with a
heavy, sullen face and eyes which
seemed but lhlalf~hiddevn greenish
Mop-holiest for the pi'ti’le-ss soul with—
liln him—if he had a soul at all—Le
Beau Was a “throw-back" of the
worst sort. In their shacks and
rterepe-es the Indians whisper-ed softly
that all the devils of his forebears
had gathered .in him.

It was -a grim k‘irnd of fate that

had given to Le Beau a wife. Had
she been. a witch, an evil-doer and
an evil-thinker like himself, the

thing would not have been such an.
abortion of whhlt should have been.
But she was not that. Sweet faced
with something of unusual beauty
still ﬁn her pale cheeks and starving
eyes—trembling at his approach and
a slave in his presence—she was,
like his dogs, the property of The
B-rutt-e. And the woman had a baby.
One :had allready died; land it was
the thought that this one might die,
as the other (had died, that brought
at times the new flash of fire into
her dark eyes.

“Le 'b'on Dileu—I pray to the
Blessed Angels—I swear you shall
live!” (she would cry to ill; .at times,
hugging «it cfl‘ose to her breast. And
it was at these times that the fire
came into her eyes, and her pale
cheeks flushed with a smouldering
hilt of the flame that had once been
her beauty. “Some day—someday.”

But she neverr finished, even to
the child, what was in her mind.

Sometimes her dreams were filled

 Witty 
‘I ‘ . was‘gom-emLe _ _,
 on his, trapline since Yester-
day, and his return filled. her with
the old dread. invoice he blad caught
her before the mirror and had call-l
ed her vile names far wasting her
time in admiring herself -when she
might have been scraping the fat
ﬁromhis pelts. The second time he
- had sent her reeling back against
the‘ Wall, and had broken the mir-
ror until the bit she treasured now
was not much larger than ,her two
slim hands. She Would not be
caught again. She ran with the glass
to the place Where she kept it in
hiding, and then quickly she wove
the heavy strands of her hair into a
braid. The strange, delad look of
fear and floreboding closed like a
veil over «the secrets her eyes had
‘ disclllosd 'to herself. She turned, as
she always turned in her \woman’s
hope and ,yearning, to greet him
when he entered.

 

 

The Brute entered, a dark and.

surly monster. He was in a wicked
humlour. His freshly caught furs he
flunlg to the floor. He pointed to
them, and his eyes were narrowed
to menacing slits as they fell upon
her.

“He was where again—that dev-
il!” he growled. “See, he has spoil-
ed fisher, and he has cleaned out
my baits and knocked down the
trap-houses.- Pa-r l-es mille cornes du
' dilablle, but I will kill him! I have
sworn to «cut him into bits with a.
knife when I catch him—and catch
him I will]. to-morrow.
there—the skins—when you have
got me something to eat. Mend the
ﬁs’her where he is torn in two, and
cover-the seam well with fat so
that the agent over at the post will
not discover it is bad. 'Domnerre do
Dieulﬂthat brat! W‘hydo you a1-
wlays keep his squalling until I
dome‘lin? Answer :me, Bette!”

Such was his greeting. He flung
his snowshoes into a corner, stamp-
ed tlhe srnsow off his feet, and got
himself a fresh plug of black tobac-
co from a shelf over the stove. The-n
he went out again, leaving the wom-
an with a cold tremble in her heart
and the wan desolation of hope-
lessness 'in her face as she set about
getting his food.

From thelcabin Le Beau went to
his dog-pit, a oorra‘l of saplings
with a .sheltersshuack in the centre of
it. It was The BIru-te’s boast that he
had .‘the fiercest pack of sledge—dogs
between Hudson Bay and the Atha-
basca. It was his chief quarrel
with Durant, his rival farther north;
alnd his ambition was to breed a
pup that would‘ kill the ﬁghting-
husky which Durant brought down
to the Post with him each winter at
Near Year. This season he had
chosen Nellth (“The Killer”) for
the big fight at God’s Lake. On the
’day he would gamble his money and
his reputation against Durant’s,
his dog would be just one month
under two years of age. It was
NertJah he. called from out of the
pack now.

The dog slutnk to .him with a 'low
gnowl in his throat, and for the
first time something like joy shone
in Le Bean’s ﬁace. He loved to hear
that grow]. He loved to see the red'
and treacherous glow in Notah’s
eyes, and hear the menacing click
of his jaws. Whatever of nobility
might have been in Netah’s blood
had been clubbed out by the man.
They were lamike, in that their souls
were dead. And Neta'h, for a dog,
was a devil. For that reason . Le
Beau 'had chosen him to fight the
big fight.

Le Beau looked down at him,
and drew a deep breath of satisfac-
tion. _

“Ow! but you are looking

CHAPTER SIXTEEN. .

V HAT same night, ten miles to
the west, Miki slept ,under ,a
windfall of rlogs and

not more than half a mile from Le

Bean’s trapline.

In the eame dawn, when Le Beau
left his cabin, accompanied by Ne-
talh, The Killer, Miki came out from
under his windfall after a night of
tnoubIlous dreams. He had dreamed
of those first weeks after he had
lost his master, when ~rNeewa. was
always at his side; and the visions
that had come to him filled him
with an uneasiness and a lonliness
that made him whine as he stood
watching the dark shadows fading
away beﬂore the coming of day.
Gould Le Beau have seen him there,
as the first of the cold sun struck
upon him, the. words which he had
repealted over and over to The Killer
would have stuck in his throat. For
at eleven months of age Miki was
a young giant of his breed. He
weighed sixty pounds, and none of
that sixty was ﬂat. His body was as
slim and as lean as a wolf’s.' His
chest was massive, and over it the
m'uscllels rolled like babiche cord
when ‘he moved. His legs were like

the legs ‘of Hela, the big Mjackenzie '

lioutnd who was his father; and
with his jaws he could crack i3, cari-
bou bone as Le Beau might have
cracked lit with a stone. For eight
of the eleven months of hlis life the
wilderness had been his master; it
had tempered him to the hardness
of living steel; it had wrought ‘him
without abeyance to age in the
mould of its P‘iti-less schooling—had
taught him to fight for his life, to
kill that he might live, and to use
his brain before he used his jaws.
He was as powerful as Netalh, The
Killer, who was tWice his age, and
with his strength he possessed a
cunning and a quickness which The
Klilller would never know. Thus had
the raw wilderness prepared him
tor this day.

As the sun fired up the forest
with a cold flame Mdkli set off in the
direction of Le Beau’s tnapline. He
came to where Le Beau had passed
yesterday and sniffed suspiciously
of the man-smell that was still
strong in the snowshoe tracks. He
had become. accustomed to this
smell, but he had not lost his sus-
picion of it. It was repugnant to
him, even as it fascinated him. It
filled him with Ian inexplicable fear,
and yet he found himself powerless
to run away from it. Three times in
the last ten days he had seen the
mambrute himself. Once he had

been hiding within a dozen yards of '

Le Beau when he passed.

This morning he headed straight
for the swamp through which Le
Beau’s traps were set. There the
rabbits were thickest, and it was in
the swamp that they most frequent-

and cedar boughs to keep the snow
off his baits. They were so numer-
ous that they were a pest, and each

Your Son

EILuaDadwhatai-e your relations

with your son. Oh yes, we know that
youfeedhim,clothehimandcdneatehim.
But theoearenotthethingswehaveinmmd.
If that is all you are doing for your children
V you are a mighty poor father, indeed.

The things which children value most high-
ly and have the largest inﬂuence in moulding
wm'ﬂlycharactersaretoooften deniedthem.
Yet they cost nothing. They are love, kind-
ness, sympathy and above all comradeship.

Let us drop into two farm homes right here
in Michigan. In the ﬁrst home father no
lg sooner getshisbootsoninthemorningthan

a he calls son John to get up. John has been
to a box social the night before and is sleepy.
Mother remonstrates and says, “let him sleep
a little longer”. But, no sir-ee. Dad didn’t
Be-abed mornings when he was a kid and his
son isn’t going to. In this particular house-
hold father always has his way, so he yells to
son John again and threatens him with some
blood curdling punishment if he doesn’t get
out of bed “this minu ”. Poor John would
like another wink but he does not dare to
brave the wrath of his stern old dad so he
.. gets up, dresses and steals fearfully down the
~' - retain where he encounters dad and gets a
‘ mat! for having been out so late the night be-

done in silence and trembling lest some slip,
an accident, a break in the harness may hold
up the work and incite dad to harsh words.
' “Spare the .rod and spoil the child”, is the
" motto of this father Who whips his children
on the slightest pretext, yells at them as if
key were the neighbor’s cattle in the corn-
ﬁeld, and never speaks a kind word to them
‘ lest, they may think there is going to be a let-
up in‘the discipline. This father prides him-
 J self that he has his children well-trained and
5 has instilled in them respect for their elders.
What he has rally done is to break their
spirit and ﬁll them with dread of his presence.

In the second farm home another son John
has been up late the night “before. Father
. steps to the stairway to call him, then remem-
, boring the days when he was young himself
, and occasionally stayed up late, hesitates and
says to mother, “guem we’d better let son

on and gets down stairs as dad is ﬁmshmg

pleasantly and father 'mquires if John hada

The Banker and the Farmer

S THE banking businm run on a double

standard? Does the city businm man
often get credit which is denied the farmer
though the mourity offered be the same? The
average banker will, of course, indignantly
deny these allegations but there is ample evi-
dence to prove that they are true. While we
kimwotmnnybaukerswho aradoingevery.
thingpomibletohelpouttheir farmer cus-
tomers during this stringent period we know
of many others who have no such conception
of their duty to their community.

It is now well established that the federal
reserve banks forced liquidation of farm
loans atthosameﬁmetheywerehandingout
money lavishly to speculators. Farmers who
needed legitimate loans to carry on their farm-
ing business were  turned down whilst
men engaged in the questionable enterprise of
playing the stock market had no difﬁculty in
getting all the money they needed to ﬁnance
their operations. More recently information
comes that farmers in Michigan are not only
being refused additional loans with which to
make absolutely necessary purchases but are
being pressed to pay their existing indebted-
ness. But wo‘have heard of no cases of city
businm men with good security to offer being
refused their usual line of credit.

It is true that many banks are loaned to
the limit And banks, being merely the cus-
todians of money deposited with them must be
careful not to overloan and jeopardize the in-
terests of their depositors. The deposits in
Michigan banks have shrunk considerably and
their loans have increased during the past
two years so that bankers must proceed with
extra caution. In insisting that banks liq-
uidate their outstanding loans as rapidly as
possible the state banking department is" pur-
sumg a Wlse course. But even this policy can
be married to extreme, and it begins to appear
that in its zeal to protect depositors in Michi-
gan banks the department has adopted an un-
necesarily harsh policy toward farmer bor-
rowers, a policy which if persisted in will
sooner or later work great hardship upon our

Woman and War
HE growing inﬂuence of woman in na-
tional and world aﬁairs makes,her a for-
midable ﬁgure to reckon with in the waging
of future wars. Woman has had no more to
say in‘past conﬂicts than the dumb brutes of
the ﬁeld. She hm given her all, and suffered
in patient silence when those who were dearer
‘ to Her than life itself went away to war never
to come back. But in all these centuries wom-
an as well as man has been asking herseli,
“what does it all, meant Why all these
heartaches, this suffering and death?” And
it is no small wonder that one of the ﬁrst evils
at which the enfranchised woman should di-
recthershaftsisthcevilofwar. .
“I pledge with all my hart and soul that
solongasIlive Iwillneverraise my hand
again to assist an armed conﬂict between .
nations”, was the joint pledge in which two 1
women, a British war mother and an Ameri-
can war mother took during the’ early days of
the arms conference. How could there be an
other great war if all the mothers of America,
of Great Britain, Japan, Germany and France
should make that vow? What we want is a
world amociaﬁon of mothers pledged to the
cause of peace. Man has failed to prevent
war. Give woman the chance.

Educating the City Folks

COMMISSIONER of Agriculture Halls,-

day’s idea of carrying on an educational
campaign among city folks to acquaint them
with agricultural problems is a worthy one. It
used to be thought that most of the right-
smart folks hail from the city, but it is grad-
ually dawning upon us that this isn’t so. De-

OUR GIRLS

VERY once in a while or oftener,
we read somethin’ in the papers
about our good American girls
-—how they are goin’ to the bad.
dress immodestly, act unbecomin'ln
are friv'lous an' rattle brained an'
a lot of more such stuff an’ it kinda
raises my dander to a high degree
'cause I don’t believe a word of itr—
not-yet!
Now a good deal of this tommy
rot is put out by men an‘ women
who are would-be reformers—some
of 'em call themselves preachers,
some one thing an’ some another.
‘But no matter what they are nor
who they are, they are only judging
by outward appearances. If they
could see into the inner life, into
the hearts an’ souls of our girls they
would know that the girls of. today
are jest as sweet an’ good an’ ﬁne
as the girls of any other time has
ever been. Trouble with most of
these so—called refo; hers, they’re
livin’ back behind the tin s, back
ﬁfty years or more ago an’ they don’t
'knOW' that the world is progressin’
at.all, trust ’em for one thing
though, the he reformers, the sob‘
here an' kill joys, they can always
tell just what kind of stockin's the
- girls are wearin', they know within
one-half of one per cent just how low
in the neck the dresses are cut, they
are very keen observers of every—
thing that goes to make up the street
attire of our young women, they can

, see all the faults of our girls far-
' ther’n a turkey buzzard can see a
heap of carrion. Fact is, such people
look for those things an' for nothin’
else—if they didn’t they wouldn’t
see ’em, or not so much of 'em any-
way. To be sure, our girls don‘t
dress as girls did fifty years ago an'
nobody wants ’em to either. We
don’t run around horseback nor in
old open buggies like we used to do
either. We don’t cut wheat with a
cradle nor ﬂail it out as it used to
be done. We have better methods
an’ the young folks of today are only
keepin’ up with the times jest as
they should do, reformers to the con-
trary not withstandin’.

There is lots of howlin’ about one-
piece bathin’ suits for girls—how
awful they are an’ everything, an’
yet young men have been wearin'
'em for years an’ it’s been all right
’cause they was the proper thing to
wear. They were made for the pur-
pose, were comfortable an’ young

tellers could swim in 'em, with free— “ so will our girls

dom an’ in safety. But if girls
wanted to go in swimmin’ (bath-
ing) they must put on more clothes
than they would wear Walkin' the
streets, consequence was, few young
women went swimmin’ an’ a whole
lot of enjoyment was lost to them.
Now it’s always been all right for
a woman to expose her bare arms
at any time but to expose the least
bit of her-’er-er—well lower limbs

it was jest awful, don't you know?
An' yet ﬂiers isn’t one particle of
diﬂerence between the texture of
the skin on ‘a girl's armvr leg—
it’s all the same an' I claim it‘s no
worse to expose one then the other.
,Trouble is’ there’s a difference in
the state of mind with some folks
an’ some of the old fogies who set
up such a how! regardin' girls are
so carnal minded they can only
think of bad things an' in a ﬁeld of
ﬂowers they could only see the weeds
that might be growin’ there—~the
ﬂowers would be entirely lost ‘to
them.

Goin' up town yesterday I hap-
pened onto a little wee mite of a
girl that had dropped her dollie an’
broken its head. The little miss was
wyin’ as it! her heart was broken—
“Oh,” she cried, “it's my bestest dol-
lie an' now it’s broke all to pieces,”
an’ the little dear was gatherin’ up
the pieces one by one though the
tears from her eyes nearly blinded
her.

Wellnow listen, just before I got
to the little girl, a young lady came
from the other direction—«she was

eased in the prevailin’ fashion—
short skirt-nearly to the knee, low
necked dress—you know——she had
the kind of outﬁt that is bein' con-
demned by so many of the defamers
of .our girls—our splendid girls,
most of whom are far above re-
proach, an’ this young woman, when
she saw the little miss so heart
broken, with all the mother instinct
God has given to women, stopped,
took the little tot in her arms, kissed
an' soothed an' [coaxed while I
picked up the piéces of the broken
dollie an’ together we sent the poor
little girl to her home but not until
the young lady had promised that
she would send another doll to re-
place the one so badly shattered.

Dear friends, it was the mother
instinct that prompted the young
lady to do the thing she did an’ as
long as the mother instinct remains
with our girls no one need to worry
about 'em at all, they'll come
through all right an' make jest as
good mothers, an’ jest as good wives
as the girls of ﬁfty or a hundred
years ago.

Girls may do things that to older
folks seem silly, the older folks, in
their younger days did things jest as
silly in the eyes at the older folks
of that day, but they have proven
their worth in million of ways an’
of today. The
motherhood is in them an' will keep
them. When our would—be reformers
get so they can see into the heart
an' soul of our girls-—when they
take their eyes off’n their stockin’s
an’ see the goodness of the girls
themselves we’ll hear much less
about the evil of our times—but
then—the reformers will cease to be
reformers an’ will be human. Cor-
dially yours—UNCLE RUBE.

m.“ _sr -
the January Ist issue‘of the

B. F. I‘noticed an article on" St:

‘. - IV‘Valenrtine’s Day. I would like to

suggest another reason for- the cus-

jlj’tom of sehding valentines on Feb—
ruary 1.4. p ‘

“Legend says that St.‘ Valentine,

i’while in prison made a pet of a

 

pigeon and sent messages by it to '

his.many friends because he was so
 {and of them and could not see them.
3 The many friends who were so fond

 r -. of him, especially the children, loved
v the little messages of love sent to

them by the one they loved (St. Val-
entine) so decided to retain the cus-
tom in memory of St. Valentine.
' Hence the use of pigeons with mes-
sages and the custom of sending
messages of love to those we are
fond of on February 14th, St. Val-
; entine’s Day. If I am not mistaken I
believe February 14th was also St.
Valentine’s birthday.’ '

I’ think the Farm Home page is
ﬁne. There is something in it for
everyone.

Did you know that—-

Cookies bake much nicer on the
reverse side of pan?

A spoonful of ﬂour dropped into

, the place where the juice is oozing
out will aid in preventing pics from
boiling over or leaking?

.One half part fresh tallow and one
half lard makes the ﬁnest kind of
fat for frying fried cakes?

One cupful of dried apples soaked
over night and cooked in a cupful
of syrup until syrup is absorbed an—
swers very nicely for raisins?

Butter will keep almost indeﬁni-
tely ’when rolls are wrapped in clean
cloths and kept under brine?

Grease hot enough for fried cakes
will cause a match to light when
drawn through it?

Graham ﬂour makes ﬁne cake and
cookies? Will send recipe if desired.

In reference to article written on
woman suﬂrage, I think the gentle-
man’s accusations are unjust. He has
probably seen a few of that type and
jumps at conclusions that they all
are. I am not in favor of woman
suffrage myself, not because I think

woman isn’t intelligent enough, but ,

because it is not her place. Women
do not wish to be treated as men
still they are striving to make men
treat them as such. The idea may
be all right theoricale but it is
practical only to a small extent.

I do not believe in capital pun-
ishment. It doesn’t give the con-
vict any chance to be better. I al-
ways think of the saying of a wo-
man who followed her son to the
gallows: “It will teach him a les-
son.” A man can do no more harm

when he is dead neither can he do,

any good, so give him a ﬁghting
chance. With best wishes for the
success of M. B. F.—A Subscriber.

FROM OUR FRIEND IN MONROE
INOE the topic under discussion
seems to be hearts, not only in
the M. B. F. but in nearly every
* , paper under publication at the pres—
ent time, I think it not unwise to
. continue the discussion Olf the pros
.7 and cons pertaining thereto. Sup-
“pose we call this article “The Man-
child."
The child is content to play with
its little dull until of a sudden it
thinks a diversion should be intro—
duced, to relieve the monotony, with
the result that it takes upon itself a
new doll. Then for a short time there
is much hugging and billing and coo-
in. ‘But alas, too soon the gaudy paint
and gold and tinsel disappear and
then of a sudden the child wants the
old doll back but strangely enough
the old doll has no desire to
return. It proves to be rather elu-
sive, doesn’t seem to want to play
second ﬁddle. What happens then?
Why there are lamenbations and pro-
testations and passages are taken
from the scriptures and proverbs
and adages and all the old sayings
for the last hundred years or more
' are quoted, being very careful of
' ecurse that they all favor the child.
There is the forget-and-forgive stuff

Dear Friends: This is your page today and all yours. ‘I have so
many interesting letters, the page is sure to please you. Nextgveek

some important things to tell you and things that will be of real

according to these passages there
would be no need for prisons and
jailers, such things would be super-
ﬂuous. And the whole world would
be one large charsl house.

Verily, Verily, “The wages of sin
are death,” though very rarely for

some innocent person. Space will
not permit me to enumerate any per-
sonal experiences at this time as this
letter is getting rather long.

Mrs. T. M. N. has been kind
enough to give us the very much
desired information in regard to
holding the affections of a wife.
Thank you very much, Mrs. T. M. N.
Now won’t some one of our other
readers give us the correct formula
for holding a husband? My method
seemed to meet with a storm of pro—
test a short time ago—J. F. B.

SOME HELPFUL HINTS ,
HAVE learned so many useful
things from “Our Page” in M. B.
F. that I want to write and say

“thank you” to the editor—in—chici‘. I
was more than pleased just for the
address of the Singer Machine Co.,
in last week’s paper. It is so kind to
pass along the little helps of this
kind. The big ones seem to come
more easily. ’

I am sending with this a few little
suggestions that have proven a help
to me in my busy life, that of car-
ing for a family of six lively chil-
dren together with my husband,
(their father) usually an extra per-
son or two and myself.

The dry fu'zz from the marsh cat-
tail mixed with clear lard or vaso-
line is a most excellent remedy for
burns. I am never without a sack
on my drug .shelf.

I have found that to steam rais-
ins, currants or any dried fruit be-

fore adding them to cake or pud-
dings is a very great help. I put

mine in a little basin in the steamer ‘

with just a little cold water they
soon swell full size and have an ex-
cellent freshness.

An old magazine rolled in roll in
children’s stockings makes an aid to
the darner. ‘

A pint fruit jar (glass) makes an
excellent receptacle for the tacks,
screws, burrs, curtain ﬁxtures, etc.,’
in the repair cupboard. They can be
readily seen without emptying and

the time and patience are both.

saved. Thanking you for the time I
have used. I am as ever interested in
“Our” paper.—Mrs. B. B. O.

 

MAKE THE BEST OF IT
AVE been reading the Farm
Home for quite a while and
after reading those interesting
. letters about domestic trouble I
thought I would write a letter and
see what some of the folks thought

of the trouble I have had.

First I'was married for 13 years
‘and had two babies which I lost in
infancy. I married a man that soon
left me alone. As I was about 2,000
miles from home and I am yet. I put
up with it and my health was ruined.
Well, I stood it all for the sake
of not letting my people know. Well
he got so he would start and say he
was going to leave me. And he has
left me four times. The fourth time

I applied for a divorce and also the.

third and each time I took him back.
All my household goods were gone
this fourth time. he left and I said I

would never take him back again,-

and here I am taking him back.
But many times I think I am
foolish because people say he will
do the same thing again. He goes
away for no reason at all. Yet he
says he loves me. It seems neither
one can do without the other when
we are separated.

I am not very strong and can not
get cut and do a hard day’s work.

r Unless you can see your way to talks

the best of the situation... Try not to
worry and be cheerful, believing that in
time your husband will see how much he
is wronging you and himself and become

the man he should be. Live your own N

life and try to become interested in things
outside your home and dress as well as
you possbily can. Don’t scold. that never
helps. Just be happy and contented, ap-
pear so anyway. I believe he will soon
begin to see that your life is .much hap-
pier and better than his.

CORRESPONDENTS’ COLUMN

A suggestion for your valentine
party: Buy several boxes of ma-
terials which come all ready to make
\. up into valentines and give prizes
to the guests who make the.pret-
tiest valentines in the least time.
You could also furnish ,some ma-
terial for comic ones and give prizes
for the most ludicious ones. Furnish
plain paper of different colors. Your
guests will] have much fun over
them. Ask for original verses and
let them be personal if you wish.

Mrs. H. V.—For authors why not
choose some of more prominence.
As Mary Conway Oehmler, author of
“Slippy McGee." There is the book
“Americanization of Edward Bok,”
by himself. -Edith Wharton, 0.
Henry, Margaret Deland’. All write
so well and there are many more.
There are better known authors. Let
us include Jack London also. Any
book store can get you gooks by
these authors.

 

I do not see why frozen meat
could not be canned. If any sub-
scriber can give any inxformaltion on
the matter we will ’be glad to have it.

Mrs. N. H.—Whole wheat ﬂour is
meant, not graham. The Frankllin
Mills put. a whole wheat ﬂour on the
market that is very good. The ﬂour
is ﬁne but not so ﬁne or smooth as
white ﬂour and is dark in color. Of
course it is very nutritious and the
bread is delicious. I gave my own
recipe and know it to be all right.

 

Mrs. C. B.—-—You may apply the
wax to your ﬂoor. It is not hard to
do. Just wax the part of the ﬂoor
that is exposed. Once in two weeks
for shining, oftener for cleaning.

 

I want to thank the readers of .our
page who so kindly send information
when requested. It just shows the
friendly spirit of our readers.

 

“If 'Your Heart Keeps Right"

In the January 21st issue I_ noticed on
the Farm Home page a request for the
words and music "If Your Heart
Right.” I have it in four books but I
know anyone who wishes this hymn will
always want to keep it. The Rodchcaver
00., 440 S; Dearborn street,
have many valuable books for
“Awakening Songs” has this hymn tn it.
The book in manilla is 300; cloth 450'
post paid. If sheet music is wanted this
song can be gotten with piano accom-
paniment for '100. Stamps are accepted
in, amounts under $1.00. 60 and 100
stamps preferred. These are prices taken
from a catalogue from, the company
which is less than a year old. The cata—
logue is free for the asking. I am much

“Nothing to buy but the license” describes the complete

this car ($525 at Flint, Mich.) to make it complete—no

no Fm Movement to Canada
Dr. G. C. Creelman, former presi-
dent of the Ontraio Agricultural
College, defended the Canadhn
farmers participation in politics and
showed how it was necessary .for
them to unite on political cahdidates
and issues in order to gain relief
from excessive taxation, tariffs, pro-
nteering, etc. “Perhaps we are a lit-
tle less patient than you folks over
here,” said Dr. Creelman, "and we
took things in our own hands a little
quicker. We got tired of hearing
political speakers tell us that we
were the backbone of the nation and
then forgetting our interests am

33'  

"they had been elected. So one day

some of the provinces woke up to
ﬁnd the farmers in control of the
government. After three years' trial
we are convinced that a farmer ad-
ministration is just as eflcient and
economical as one controlled by law-
yers and professional politicians."
Halladay Speaks x
H. H. Halladay, state commission-
er of agriculture, gave an interesting
account of the duties of the several
bureaus consolidated in the State
Department of Agriculture. He ex—

plained how many economies had
been eﬂected by the consolidation
and how much more efﬁcient the

work of each member bureau had
become. He urged that the drive
against tuberculosis in cattle be
pushed without limitation, both as
a matter of public health and of ul-
timate ﬁnancial beneﬁt to the farm-
er. 'He said that tuberculosis in
cows reduces the butter content of
her milk and that on farms where
tubercular cattle had been de-
stroyed and healthy cows had taken
their place, there was a noticeable
increase in the average butter tat
content of the herd.

Mr. Halladay reminded the farm-
ers that his department was created
to serve the farmers and urged them
to use it. -/

Dr. Marion LeRoy Burton, presi-
dent of the University, told the farm-
ers that the ﬁrst demand in a demo-
cracy is that its citizens shall be in-
telligent and that intelligence can
only -be gained by education. He
claimed that any amount of money
invested in education was money
well spent. Greater respect for llw
and a fuller appreciation of the in-
ternational relationships of peoples
came in tor discussion. Pres. Bur-
ton declared that the time had gone
by to make light of the 18th amend-
ment and that all law-abiding ‘per-
sons would respect that clause as
much as any other belonging to the
constitution.

Nicol and Noble Speak

Other Mic’iigan speakers included
Jas. Nicol, president of the State
Farm Bureau and Lee S. Noble,
president of the Farmers’ Clubs. A.
B. Cook, master of the State Grange,
was unable to take his scheduled
place on the program having been
delayed on his return from the
Washington conference to which he
was a delegate, but his place was
creditany ﬁlled by Mrs. Dora Stock-
man, lecturer of the Grange and
member of the State Board of Agri-
culture, who in her always charming
manner reviewed the accomplish-
ments and opportunities of the
Grange. Grant Slocum, president of
the Gleaners, was also unable to ap-
pear because of a conﬂicting engage-
ment which took him dowu to Ohio.
‘ Mr. Nicol conﬁned his remarks to
the proposed 'lakes-to-eea route and
painted for his hearers an alluring
picture of agricultural prosperity in
Michigan upon the completion of
that route. He told of the many
economics that would be. effected
when Michigan farm products could
be loaded directly upon boats bound
hr foreign ports, and even suggest-
ed the deepening of certain rivers of
the state so that ocean going ves-
sels could pehetrate to in-state
cities.

Mr. Noble discussed general farm

Howard Could Not Attend

J. R. Howard, president of the‘
American Farm Bureau Federation,
also failed to show up. His alibi was
not so good Mr. Howard has been
mentioned as a successor to Senator
Kenyon who resigned to accept a
federal judgeship and the excuse of-
fered for his non-appearance was
that he was busy keeping his poli—
tical ﬁres burning. In his stead
came a Mr. Pollock, from the Chi-
cago ofﬁce of the A. F. B. F., who
gave a straight-from-the-shoulder
talk on the accomplishments of the
Farm Bureau and urged the farm-
ers not to let temporary discourage—
ments alienate them from their or—
ganizations. _

Governor Reviews Administration

Governor Groesb-eck made one of
his few public addresses since he
assumed the executive chair during
Farmers' Week and gave a some-
what detailed account oi how the
various state boards had been con-
solidated and were functioning. He
stated that the 1921 state tax bud-
get was re‘ally less than the 1920
when certain interest items which
were not included in the 1920‘ bud-
get were deducted. He denied the
allegation that his administration
was building up a political machine
asserting that all he had done or
would do was in the interests of the
people. He told of the disgraceful
condition that had been existing in
the several state institutions and
how he had been instrumental in
cleaning them up. He promised a
liberal policytoward the M. A. C.
and stated that it, was his hope and
aim to make the M. A. C., which is
the oldest agricultural college in the
world, the greatest in (the world. He
promised state support for a stadium
for the M. A. C., and also recom-
mended libe' l appropriations for
the University. He touched upon
the taxation problem very cautious—
ly, gave no deﬁnite assurance of im-
mediately lower taxes and avoided
all mention of the proposed state in-
come tax. In many respects his
talk was interesting; in others it
was disappointing.

LUCE COUNTY AGENT MAKES
MONEY FOR FARMERS
(Continued trom page 8)
bushel more than seed rye was sell—
ing for here and the farmers were
satisﬁed that it was worth fully a

dollar more.

Still later other farmers who had
seen the seed wanted to get some,
and owing to the lateness of the
season were even willing to have it
shipped to them by express, not-
withstanding the much higher cost.
The order was again sent to the Luce
county agent who answered that
there was none for sale any longer.
That the supply was exhausted, was
unquestionably due, to F. E. R. and
a lot of others like him who can not
see where they beneﬁt a dollar a
year.

About a year ago, Luce county
farmers secured through their coun-

ty agent several thousand pounds of

(Continued from last week)
(hanging to Skhn Milk

HE time to change the calf_from
whole milk to skim milk will de-
pend largely upon the develop-

ment cf the calf. If the calf is strong
and well developed, it may be
changed to skim milk at the and of
the second week.‘ This change
should be made gradually. by
substituting a small quantity of
skim milk for whole milk in the
daily ration. About a week or ten
days should be taken for this change.

In this way the calf will go off the

whole milk gradually and will not

have a distaste for the skim milk.
Temperature of Milk

Care should always be taken to
have the milk warm and sweet; es-
especially is this necessary when
feeding the young calf. As the calf
grows older it will do just as well
on cooler milk if it is fed at the
same temperature every day. The
right temperature for the milk fed
the young calf is blood heat, 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit. The milk should be
as nearly this temperature as it is
possible to get it. There is no way
which the digestive system of the
young calf can be upset more easily
thanbyfeedlugcoldmﬂkstone
meal and warm milk at another. If
there is any doubt about the tsun-
perature, or if the milk has to be
warmed at all. the thermometer
should be und. Judging the tem-
perature of milk by putting the ing-
or into it is not satisfactory. , [ilk

as the milk utensils. If any milk is
left in than it will sour. and the calf

Length of Innate Feed Skim Milk
The length of time that the calf

pend upon the amount at skim milk

available for this purpose. Some

feeders wean their calves at four

‘ months of age, but it is a better

practice to feed skim milk until the
calves are six months old. If one
has an abundance of skim milk it is
a proﬁtable practice to need heifers
until they are eight months or a
year old. This will insure a better
growth and better development.

1922 Is A Good Year
To Build A Dairy Barn

LUMBER and other prices are well down, carpenters and com-
mon labor want work and contractors need business badly
enough to ﬁgure closely.

costs have so lowered that you can now have aJames planned barn,
With Jamcsway insulation, double glazed windows and silos, com-
pletely equipped with Jameeway ventilating system, stalls, stanch-
‘ions, drinking cups, manure carrier, feed truck, cow pen, calf pen,
bull pen, etc., for 30 cows for about $53.00 a month—$1.75 percow.
Indeed, drinking cups alone may pay 2/. the cost of the entire barn. Tests in 28

herds proved that with milk at $250 per 1.00 lbs. and labor at 25c an hour, Junea—
w'ay cups increased proﬁts from each cow $14.01 during the cold weather season.

HOW WE GOT RID OF BATS

We have used several eﬂective methods
to get rid of rats which} think will be
of interest to readers. One of them is a
mixture of two-thirds corn-meal and one-
third dry cement. Be sure to keep it
away from stock and chickens for it will
play hob with anything that eats it. They
will never want another meal. Another
way is to fill a washtub about two—thirds

' of water and sprinkle on enough
bran to just cover the surface. Then
make a run—way to the tub by leaning
one end of a board against it. The rats
will run up the board and jump into the
tub, and it will be their last bath.—W.
P., New Baltimore, Mich, .

NOMADS OF THE NORTH.
(Continued from page 11)

ov'err tho mine he found at least two
out of every three traps sprung by
iihem, and therefore made useless
nor the c'aitching of fur. But where
those were many rabbits there were
also fishers and lynx, and in spite
of lithe rag-e which the plague of nab-
bits sent him into, Le Beau contin-
ued to set (his traps there. And now,
«in addition to the rabbits, he had

this wﬁlvd dog to contend with.
His heart was ﬁred by a venge-
ful anticipation as he hurried on

 

rtihnouagih the glow of he early sun,-

anh The Krill-carat his heels, led by
a babiohe rthong. Miki was nosing
about the first trap—house as Netah
and Le Beau entered the edge of
the wramp, three miles to the east.

I want to renew my subscription for

TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW
INANCIAL reports that have to
do with development of business
and trade for the new year seem

. to indicate a “spotted” situation;

from some localities, generally large
trade centers,‘come very encourag-
ing reports concerning progress in
trade development, while from coun-
try districts information is not nearly
so encouraging. The various distribu—
tive activities of the country seem
to be passing thru experiences which
are always noted in connection with
periods when trade and manufactur-
ing are struggling to recover from
the eﬁects of a long-drawn-out de-
pression. One thing is certain,
namely, buyers at wholesale and in
a jobbing way are not making large
commitments but are limiting their
purchases to actual necessities; it.
is a self—evident fact, that mer-
chants, located outside of the large
cities of the country, are not count—
ing on the spring and summer trade
that they have usually had.

The general ﬁnancial outlook
seems rto be just as badly mixed as
trade and market prospects; it is
claimed that there is an abundance
of money available for investment
in certain kinds of securities, such
as government bonds, municipal

- bonds and non-taxable securities of
all kinds but very little that is avail—
able for the purchase of industrial
securities. It would seem almost
like a paradox, when men of large
resources, who profess an anxiety to
see the country return to a general
industrial prosperity, will not risk
one dollar of their money in an ef-
fort to bring about the desired end.

The situation in connection with
the steel and iron trade, seems to
be improving rapidly with a rapid
growth in the volume of orders for
structural products and essentials of
all kinds; this is encouraging, in
that it indicates a belief in the kinds
of the trade that with the coming of
warm weather, a campaign of home
and business building will be in—
augurated. The U. S. Steel Corpora-
tion begins the year 1922 with a sur-
plus of $650,000,000. The net earn-
ings of this great enterprise, during
the last quarter of 1921, were $19,-
612,033. A noteworthy feature of
the company’s report was the decline
of nearly two million per month in
the proﬁts of the three months of
which the quarter was composed.
The outlook for the current quarter
seems to indicate still smaller pro-
ﬁts but with the beginning of April
much larger returns are expected.

' The record, in connection with
commercial failures in the United

States, during 1921, is not a pleasmg
one to contemplate but it is, in a.
way, very informing as to the en-
terprises which are best calculated
to weather the storm in a great ﬁ-
nancial depression. We quote from
the last monthly report of the Fed-
eral Reserve Bank of Kansas City:

“Commercial failures in theUmt-
ed States in 1921 numbered 19,652,
which was 1.02 per cent of 1,927,304
concerns doing businesfs.ﬂ Thist was
the lar ' st number of a ures or a
single geezer since 1915 when there
were reported 22,156 insolvencies,
liabilities involved by the failures
was $627,401,883, the largest on re-
cord, as against $295,121,805 of
liabilities in 1920. For the entire
country there was an increase of
121.3 per cent in number of fa1lures.
and 112.6 per cent in liabilities in
1921 over 1920. Of the 19,652 fail-
area for the last year 4,495 were
classed as manufacturing, 13,999 as
the trading group and 1,158 as
agents, brokers, etc."

The ﬁgures in relation to farm
failures are not available; one thing
 is- certain, namely, many more fami-

. {Des are affected by a city failure
than by a farm failure.

last found its feet and that a steady

upward trend had set in. We little
suspected, however, the true
strength of this trend. From the

day the above prediction was writ-
ten wheat prices have climbed
steadily until as this is written the
cash grain is quoted at $1.33 at De-
troit and $1.27 at Chicago. This
is an advance of 8 to 12 cents a
bushel. in ten days time. Nothing
sensational has happened in the
grain world to bring about this ad-
vance. It is simply the reaction
from a long period of depression and
artiﬁcially suppressed strength.
Everyone has known for months that
the potential demand-is in excess of
available and prospective supplies.
Everyone has been entirely familiar
with the very low and constantly de-
teriorating condition of winter
wheat in the southwest. Everyone
has suspected at least that farm re—
serves are the lowest in years. With
these conditions existing and of com-
mon knowledge it is no wonder that
the grain markets are showing signs
of renewed vigor. The wonder is
that they have remained so sluggish
for such a long period of time. Here-
tofore, advances of any consequence
have been followed by equal .59.

 

a

clines, but despite the fact that the
late advance is the largest for many
months and brings the price of
wheat to the'hi-ghest point since last
September we look for no material
changes in the sentiment. We expect
to see pronounced activity in grains
from now on with slowly ascending
prices.

but not enough to change prices only
in a limited way. All grades made

troit and No. 2 yellow declined. Re-
ceipts of corn Were large, farmers
showing a strong inclination to un-
load in spite of low prices. This
feeling was particularly in evidence
in the west. Chicago received
around 9,105,000 bushels last week,
over 4,000,000 bushels more than
were shipped out. Exporters are in
the market each day but the large
receipts cause them to take their
time about making purchases; they
are careful not to cause the grain to
develop too much strength. Domestic
demand is fair and quiet. Reports
from Argentine show the corn crop
was beneﬁted some by recent rains
but considerable more moisture is
needed, it is said, before any lasting
improvement will be noticeable. On
Monday of the current week export
demand increased and receipts de-
creased With the result that prices
are higher. The Detroit market
gained 2c and the tone is ﬁrm.

that there is 3 probably shortage of

are said to be the lowest ever re-
ported. Export business in oats is
gradually increasing but has not yet
reached a point where it promises
to become a price factor. With con~
tinned strength in wheat and corn,
however, it is only a question of time
before oats will respond to the im-
proved feeling. ‘

Rye was Quiet at Chicago last
week and prices declined 1-2c but
at Detroit this grain was susceptible
to the strong wheat market and the
price advanced 3c. Monday of this
week the grain was strong on both
markets and prices advanced. No. 2

Prices in the barley market are
some higher at both Chicago and
Detroit. Possibly there is slightly
more activity in the trading at Chi-
cago, but as a whole, the country
over, the tone is unchanged. Barley

the strength developed during the
early part of the week could not
hold. It not only held but increased
as the Week went on, the Detroit
market raising from $4.60 to $5 per
cwt. within the week. And even this
large advance has failed to bring
out any quantity of beans. On Oct-
tober 1st, 1920, beans were quoted
on Detroit market at $5.25 per ch'

The butter markets are having a
discouraging time recovering their
lost vigor. Occasionally the de-
mand stiffens a little and the. price
goes up a cent or two a pound, but

this is immediately followed by hec- «

tic selling which soon ﬂoods the
market and forces prices down again.
Wholesale prices on creamery butter
range now from 30 to 36 cents de-

 
     

pending upon quality. Receipts at_

primary points continue to exceed
those for similar periods a year ago.
The dairy industry is simply in the
throes of an over-production period
and It is doubtful if prices can long
remain at their present levels.

EGGS

The situation in the egg market
is about the same as in the butter
market. Every Tom, Dick and Harry
throughout the country has gone in
for eggs the last few months, with
the result that oiferings are usually
somewhat in excess of demand. On
four markets, Chicago. New York,
Boston, Philadelphia there were
nearly six times as many eggs in
storm last week as the correspond-

ingweekayearago. Fresheggs'

are commanding 8808M: a dozen in
Detroit. but with the advent of the
ﬁrst spring months and milder
weather lacs-eased receipts and low-
er prices are inevitable.

Hay shows little change. Demand
is not in excess of receipts, the mar-

nose on Friday. the trade was strong
at prices that ranged from 25 to 40
cents higher than the showing for
the week before. The top for map
ture steers was $3.25 and for year-
lings. $9.50. The cattle that brought

89.50 were strictly prime pure-bred-

Angus yearlings, averaging L018
pounds and as good as care and the
best food obtainable could make
them. ’
The average Quality of Chicago's
cattle arrivals last week was only
\ fair and because of scarcity, heavy
steers sold best. Eastern dressed
beef trade was dull all the week at
prices which ranged from $1 to 83
lower than average of the week be-
fore. Other buyers bought fairly
well and exporters took 750 cattle
of the medium kind. The improve-
ment in prices was felt in connec-
tion withail market grades. but me-
dium  cattle and common year-
lings were hardest to move. The
mature steers that topped the mar-
ket at $9.25 were Angus grades av-
eraging 1,486 pounds. , Stockers and

Chicago got 6,500 more sheep and
lambs, last week, than the week be-
fore but the average quality was de-
cidedly low. The only kind that
showed a substantial advance last
week from the week before was the
best lambs which showed a gain of
about 25 cents per cwt. Medium
lambs were just about steady while
the poorer grades were dull and low-
er. Sheep traveled jnst about the
same road as lambs, handy weights
holding steady while the heavier
grades were 50 cents lower. Heavy
yearlings dropped 75 cents to $1 W
cwt. from the showing of the week
before. The present outlook seems
to favor farther advance in the
prices paid for top lambs.

that some system greatly inflates the en.

may have with respect of the important
market for the product. It is of equal
importance that this maladjustment of
Michigan freight rates not only effects
the outbound shipments of Michigan pro-

and everything that he uses which comes
to him from manufacturing points in

No Melotte is ever sold except under this guarantee. A
guarantee written in plain English so that you can un-
derstand it. A guarantee that is 100% stronger than any
other separatOr guarantee ever made. A guarantee that

Vibration of a cream separator’s bowl will soon cost ! i I
you more money in cream waste than the price of
your separator. U. S. Government Bulletin No. 201
says that a perfectly true motion of the bowl is abso-
lutely necessary. the bowl is the vital part of any
separator—the part where the cream separation takes
p ace. p

elf-Balancing Bowl

The Belgium Melotte is the only single-bearing-bowl separator made.This patented bowl hangs from one fric-
tionless ball bearing and spins like a top. It is self-balancing. It skims as perfectly after 15 years' use as when
new. Positively can not ever get out of balance—can not vibrate and thus cause cross currents which waste cream
by re—mixing with the milk. The 600 lb. Melotte turns as easily as the 300 lb. machine of other makes. Spins for
25 minutes unless brake is applied. No other separator has or needs a brake. The Melotte bowl has solved the
problem of perfect skimming.
