Potash for Swamp Land

,OES the corn grown-6 on your
swamp or muck land look like ,
the large ear or like the small one? The
‘ small one shows the kind of corn pro-
duced on potash  muck land.
When 100‘ to 200 lbs. per acre of
Muriateof Potash, or 400: to 800 lbs.
of Kainit, are broadcasted on potash
hungry muck, full yields of sound corn
are produced. -
For onions, on such lands,100 toZOO‘lbs.
per acre of Sulfate of ‘Potash is the ~
right amount to produce full yields of
sound onions that ripen normally and
keep well.

With potatoes and truck crops, like
results are obtained. .

Even at war prices potash gavea- 100d ’ bill:

.Up until yery recently. a large majority of
farmers, farm papers and trade papers were ig-
norant of the true facts as outlined above. Some
farmers, however, were familiar with the ﬁgures
and are still holding their potatoes on the
strength ,of.‘ them. The following letter from A.
A. Lambertson, .a valued M. B. F. subscriber liv-
ing at Sand Lake, Montcalm county, shows that

1 [some farmers are ﬁguring for themselves.”

In your last issue'you say you are going to
have something to say about the potato situation
in the near future. Why not ﬁgure it this way:
Normal consumption of northern grown late po-
tatoes according to best authorities is 400,000,-

delivered at the factories instead of at ﬁeld re-
ceiving stations. an additional 75 cents a ton
above the scale will continue to be paid.”

THE SUGAR TARIFF

‘UGAR in the product of the farm is given a
I protection 9:6 per cent advalorem in the
Fordney Tariﬂ Bill now before congress. Reﬁned
sugarls molested equivalent to from 80 per
cent to 100 per cent, writes T. 0.. Price, presi—
dent of the SaginawCounty Farm .Bureau,. to the
Business Farmer. ‘ >

Michigan is protected against Canadian sugar.
but the Michigan beet grower receives practical—

 ly no protection against the Canadian sugar beet.

Thousands of ‘toas of Canadian beets were

.s'hipped‘inro Michigﬂ to disrupt the Beet Grow-
ers of this’state when they tried to obtain a con-

ference with the sugar manufacturers.

in View of this fact, the best growers are ask-
ing it the 60 PH cent  in tamiﬁ on Cuban

sugar manufacturer.

777 bushels needed from March 1st (when the -
report was ‘made by the Bureau of Markets) to
July 1st, or balance of season. On March 1st ac-
cording to Market Bureau report there was _on-
hand to be shipped yet by growers and dealers,
48,395,000 bushels. 177,777,777 bushels, the“ .
amount required to run us out after March '1-st, '
less 48,495,000 equals 129,382,776 or thenumber

things considered isn’t there a chance of the
northern grown spud having its innings at a. far
greater price than it has sold for yet this season? _
“P. S.———2Po~tatoes around here are cleaned up

the closest they have ever been at this tirmeHOE D ’0‘
year.”

Other Facts to Consider

If the shipments for March equalled those for
January and February there would have been
leﬁt on April 1st only 18,000,00 bushels to be
marketed in April, May and June. If the same
rate contained for April then theoretically at
least old potato stocks would be completely ex»
hausted by April 20th. Of course, this did not
happen, ‘but the thought suggests to the reader
some idea of how shipments may be cut in two
and then some and still easily move all remain~
ing stocks before the close of the season.

Another fact to consider just now is the pro-
duction in other countries. Nearly every year
the producer of the United States meets the
competition of Canada whenever domestic prices
become at all attractive. But Canada will not
have so many potatoes to export this year as
last. Her 1921 production was only 107 million
bushels as compared with "133 million in 1920.
The total 1921 crop of the principal producing
countries was 3,120,305,000 bushels as compared
with 3,466,507,000 in 1920 (L'Slltinued on page .23)

Is it not well for thefarmer w o raises sugar
beets to ask in what way their in '
protected by an increase in dut
sugar?

The contract price paid the farmer for sugar
beets this year is $5.00 per ton. The average
pro-war price with a tariff of 1 cent was $5.75,, '
which shows clearly that the 60 per cent increase
in the itariﬁ does not percolate down from fac-
tory to farm. V- .

Many requests come from the beet growers to
help them get a diﬁerent contract. 1410'th
know how.we are goingto help them unless they
all stay by the Growers’ Organization. If every
man who grows/beets will pay into the treasury
50 per ton, it will amount to around $50,090 per

If so, let it be brought forward.

wants. There were very few products sold off
the farm. Very 'ifewig'bods were bought. It was
only such things as' could not be grown in the

merCe Was slight. Markets were practically non-
existent. Everyhome was almOsE self-suﬂicing.
Those were. the days when we did not have the
great middleman system as- it now exists. A
change took' place and industry was moved from
things which he
could grow the best and sold his surplus. He"
produced fer a marketand bought the goods he
needed. This industrial revolution—as itis
calledé—t'ook place because machine production
and large scale production made lower costs pos-
sible. This change made specialization possible
and costs became lowered because of the beneﬁts
which specialization brought. Instead of every
man being a “jack of all trades” he became a
specialist and devoted his labor and capital] to—
ward the production of certain things. These
industrial changes brought about great increases
in the earning~power of the people and enabled
them to get more things for their efforts than
was possible under the old system. - . .

The development of the middleman system is
merely one phase of this specialization. Instead
of the farmer hauling his [wheat to 'the distant
market heInow 'calls in the specialist in trans-
portation—~—the railroad—1m perform this service

for him. The storage of Wheat in large quanti-
ties is done by~the'specia1ist——ithe grain elevator. r

The farmer does not grind his Wheat into ﬂour.
This service is performed by the specialist—the
miller. The farmer does not sell’jth'is produce to
the consumer; but rather does he‘tu'rn‘ it over
I in selling—the"
wholesaler and retailer. As time goes' on
specialization is carried on to a further eXtent;

At one time the farmer 'sold his milk direct

to the consumer. This system has been displaced ‘

farmer of the problem of distribution. The Data;

felt that his time is worth more to him on the _

farm as a grower of produce than at the market
place as a salesman. In the city we see that this

There have been 1 many abuses ' which have
grown up in connection withilmarketing' products

' and there are,jno doubt. manyhmiddle‘me’n, Who

are not honest. Such things, however, are notto

be taken’as an evidence that the system is neces-

sari‘ly bad. If'the public could realize that mar-

.keting consists in per-forniing certain necessary

services and thatthe'm‘ark‘et‘ chain 'is not short-
ened by the elimination of. a ‘fman” in» then-pro:
cess then it would be starting on the ,way‘td' an
understanding of the problem. When'an under;
standing is acquired of "the basic principles, :of
any problem‘ then a solution is possible. 'I The
middleman performs certain services whichare
necessary if we are to~havevthe goods we'want
in the place we want them and at the'time we
want them. If the middlemen—the local coun-
try buyers, railroads, wholesalers, jobbers and
retailers—are performing services-Which are es-
sential'to the marketing of products then they
are really producers.“ I . ,

It is not to be assumed from the above that
the present systemi‘ofhandlinggoo'ds is perfect
and that nothing can be accomplished to improve
conditions. Nor, is the above a defense of every, .
'middleman who ~might be in business. No mar-
ket agency is justiﬁed unless the pay Which it re?
ceives for its services, or in‘ ether words its pro—
ﬁts,_ consists in savings which it is capable cf

‘ ' "(TONSERVATIVELY speaking the"

I Service Department receives.
. and answers 1,000. questions
976227., month; :of. the year, upon al-
most.“ every conceivable topic. very
few of these are...miblishe,d in the
columnslof the M. "B. F. because of
the lack of space but every inquirer
ls givena personal answer, in as
shorta time as is possible to secure
the information. ' It .Would be but
natural that, in the. press of reading
and answering so many communica-

tions .an, occasional mistake should '

be made, but the Business Earmer
'prides. itself; upon the promptness
and accuracy, of .itsyneplies.

In ‘the‘March 18th issue of the
Business Farmer there. appeared the
following question , and answer:

"We have a neighbor who has been
cutting trees on the highway. The high-
way commissioner was notiﬁed but paid
no attention to it. What should be done
to stop this practice?——-—A Reader, Oceana
County, Mich.”

“Notify the State Highway Com-
missioner, Lansing.-——Editor.”

Coincidentally the same question
appeared in the corresponding issue
of the Michigan Farmer, but the
answer wa slightly-different. The
question and answer in the M. E. was
as follows: ‘

"My farm is on a state cement road
and I have one large maple tree just out—
side .of my roadline. Can .I cut it, or do
I have to get permission from the high—
way commissioner ?——Reader.”

“The owner of the adjoining land
owns the trees and may doas he
wishes with it. No permission from
the highway commissioner is re-
quired—J. R. R.”

Mrs. W. S. Bettys, of Walkerville,
noticing the discrepancy _.between
the two replies wrote us as follows:

“What are we poor farmers to do, or
‘h‘ow are we to know what to do? I am
enclosing clipping from OUR .PAPER, al~
so one rom Michigan Farmer. Now tell
us which is correct}:

The editor hastily consulted his
copy of the Compiled Highway Laws
,and got a, letter off. right'away to
the State Highway Department.

Section 565 of the compiled high-
way laws clearly prohibits the cut-
ting or defacing of trees- on a public
highway without the consent of the
highway antherities, and the follow-
ing letter from the' State Highway
Department. further proves that the
M. B. F. was right and the M. F.
wrong in their respective replies:

“It is unlawful for any person to cut,
injure or? destroy-any tree or shrub grow—
ing within the limit of the public high-
way Without having obtained the con-
sent and approval of the Highway Com-
missioner of the townsl'n’p previded the
tree is growing in a to nship highway,.
if it be in a county road, then the owner
of the tree must have obtained the con-

sent and approval of the Boardvof‘County
' Road Commissioners, and if e tree. is in
' a trunk line or federal aided road, then
the permission of the State Highway
Commissioner must be obtained. I trust
that you will get it straightened out
with your subscribers so that no more
trees will be cut .in the public hlghway
unless authorized by the highway offimals.

TO PREVENT CROWS , FROM DE-

‘ applying this mixture has been tak-
. eh from Farmer’s Bulletin No. 729.
*“Put the seed corn in a tight ves-
sel, moisten it with warm water,
and stir in about 2 tablespoonsful of
'coal tar ‘to each. bushel of seed.
‘After draining the tarred corn
thoroughly to remove any water re-
maining free, hdd ashes, land plast-
Ter, road dust, or any similar ma-
. terial to absOrb surplus tar and pre-
vent‘ the‘seed from being sticky, or
better, after draining, spread the
corn on’a barn ﬂoor or similar sur-
face and let it. remain tWo or three
days, ~when little or no dust will
be» required. The thinner the tar,
’the better. Crows rarely pull more
than a few kernels Of the tarred
corn." .

Shooting the crows is also partial—
1y effective as it scares them from
the ﬁeld and if the trouble is due
to the fact that they are nesting in
a piece of timber close by, shooting.
'in the timber might be effective in
persuading them to change their
nesting place to some more distant
lopation.

Crows usually .do most of their
damage during the morning and are
not apt to come around when one
is working in the ﬁeld, especially
after they have been shot at.

The combination of these two‘

. methods may be fairly useful in
driving the crows from your vicinity
but they are very hard to control
if they are present in the commu-
nity in very large numbers.———J. R.
Duncan, Instructor in Farm Crops.

 

TIMOTHY WILL SOMETIMES PRO-
DUCE HAY FIRST YEAR

I would like to learn. through your
paper if timothy sown» alone in the
spring will produce hay the same year?—
W. K R., Bay Port, Mich.

When timothy is sOWn during the
early spring on land of medium to
high fertility, a hay crop is some-
times secured the ﬁrst season. If
you are short of hay, it is not ad-
visable to depend upon this practice,
but you should rather sow some an-
nual crop that may be depended up-
on to produce hay the ﬁrst season.

Sudan grass is sown about the
middle of May at the rate of from
20 to 25 pounds ofseed per acre,
'on a we‘ll—prepared corn soil. It
usually produces a high tonnage of
forage.

In the northern part of the state,
a mixture of oats and peas sown
at the rate of from 2 to 2 1—2 ‘bush-
els per acre is quite satisfactory.

GRUBS , IN HEAD OF SHEEP

I would like to know if you. know of
any cure for grubs in head of sheep?—
E. R... Custer, Mich.

'llhere is no sure remedy for grabs
in the head of sheep. Careful and
liberal feeding will place the sheep
in condition to throw all“ the grabs
without causing any serious lniury.
All ﬂocks ()1 sheep should be pro—
vided with conditions which will
prevent this. trouble. The ﬁrst re-
quisiteis abundance of shade where
the ﬂies which deposit the eggs on
the noses of the sheep in the sum—
mer will not bother the ﬂock. The

best place for thence]: to get away,

from the files is a dark, basement
barnwhei‘e the sheep can lay during
the day when the ﬁles are on the
Wing. Plenty of‘shade in the pas-
ture is also a. great help. Where the
above conditions are not. ayailable
a few furrows should be plowed in
the ﬁeld —others the encounter stir,
up dust and thus keepthe ﬂies away.

mal Husbandry, M; C.

RESERVES POSSESSION _
You seem so much like a big brother
that I feel just like telling you my
troubles and asking advice. My mother
decided she wanted to buy another farm
so she bought it before she sold this one
and not wishing to leave this one with—
out someone on it got us to come and live
on it until she did sell it. On Feb. 19
she sold this one and she had 30 days
before she had to give possession. In
the meantime; or about that same day,
the man sold it to another man. Can
that man that now has it get rent from
us until mother’s 30 days"are up? He
is a, banker and tells me that our rent
started when he took over the farm. My
-mother contends that the farm is hers
until March 11. and wears still her
tenents. Then after March 11 if we wish
to stay here our rent ., begins. Now
which is right? Then too, which party is
to notify us to vacate? Mother or the
present owner? We do enjoy your paper'
so very much and hope it W111 always
be possible for us to take it.-——-Mrs.
8., Pontiac, Mich. , .

If thefseller'reserved possession
for 30 days there would be no rent‘
due from any one. No notice is re-
quired at the end of the 30. days. The
deed would become operative at the
end of 30 days and proceedings tak-
en against those in pessession if
they do not vacate—Editor.

 

MIXING SORGIIUM WITH CORN
FOR SILAGE .

Can you give me any information as
to the results obtained from mixing son
g’hum with corn " for .sila'ge? How much
sorghum should be usedito the acre and
should the amount of seed corn to .the
‘acre be lessened?—-'A. k C., rCharlotte.
Mich. .   i 1 ’. -'

'_ There is no advantage in mixing
sorghum with corn for ensilage und-’
er Michigan conditions. Sorghum
yields less per'acre and the quality
of sorghum is not quite so-good.
Sorghum is recognized as b‘eing next
to corn in value as a silage crop,
but the tonnage is not quite as
great and the silage does not keep
quite "as well. For silage purposes,
sorghum is drilled in rows 36 inches
apart, using .6 or 8 pounds of seed
per acre. It is cultivated_'and han-
dled for the silo the same way that
cornfis handled. The early Amber
variety is best—J. F. Cox, Profes—
ear of Farm Crops, M. A. 0.,

FROM' that simple out-of-the-way

tank you see pictured in the back‘
yard comes the most remarkable servant
you can employ—carbide gas; the won-
der gas of the age. An artiﬁcial, non-
porsonous gas. '

 

Produces wherever you want it—in your
home, outbuildings and barn—a clear,
ﬂickerlcss light so mellow, radiant and
restful as to rival sunlight. No constant
replacement of Chimneys or bulbs. You
‘ don’t even use matches in lighting!
With this light one user increased egg

plants grow under carbide light has been
conclusively established by Cornell Uni-

' Due to the small size of the job
' caused by
city underground Worl: not complet-
ed until after the job started, the
overhead was high on T. L. 46, in
Alma. However, it is felt that the
other costs are reasonable as is the
average for the whole. Anyone can
see that one small job, separated
from the others, will cause a higher
overhead. ,

Michigeni~ own-endiAmoricegufgr’emad: 

(Continued from last week)

OR a. month after that night he
remained near the cabin. .At
least once a. day, and sometimes

at night, he Would return to the
clearing.~ More and more- fre‘Quentlyt'
he was thinking of Neewa.- Early in
March came the Tiki-Swao —— (the
Big Thaw). For a week the sun
shone without a cloud in the sky.
The air was warm.' The snow turned
soft underfoot and ' on the sunny
sides of slopes and ridges it melted
away into trickling streams or’rolled
down in .“slides” that were minia-
ture avalanches. The world was
vibrant with a new thrill. It pulsed
with the growing cart-beat of
spring, and in Mints? soul there
arose slowly a new hope, a. new im-
pression a new inspiration that was
the thrilling urge of a woiiderful in—
stinct. Neewa‘ would be waking
now!

It came to him at last like a voice
which he could understand. The
trickling music 'of. the growing
streams sang it to him; he heard it‘
in .the warm winds that were no
lenger ﬁlled with the blast of wint—
er; he caught it in the new odors
that were rising out of the earth;
he smelled it in the dank, sweet
perfume of the black “woods—soil.
The thing thrilled him. It called
him. And he knew!

Neewa would be Waking now!

He responded to the call. It was
in the nature of things that no pow-
er less than physical force could
hold him back. And yet he ‘did not
travel ashe had travelled from Chal-
loner’s camp to the cabin of Na—
nette and the baby. There had been
a deﬁnite “ob‘jeCt there, something.
to achieve, something-to spur him on
to an immediate fulﬁlment. Now.
the thing that drew him, at ﬂeet,
was an overpowering impulse, not a
reality. For tWo or threedays his
trail westward was wandering and
indeﬁnite. Then it straightened out,
and early in the morning of the ﬁfth
day he came from a deep forest into
a plain, and across that plain he
saw the‘idge. For a long time he
gazed over the level space before
he went on. -

In his brain the pictures of Neewa.
were becoming clearer and clearer.
After all, it‘ seemed only yesterday
or the day before that he had gone
away from that ridge. Then it was
smothered in snow, and a gray, ter-
rible gloom had settled upon the
earth. Now there was but little
snow, and the sun was shining, and
the sky was blue again. He Went
on, and sniffed along the‘foot of
the ridge; he had not forgotten the
way. He~ was not excited, because
time had ceased to have deﬁnite im-
port for him. Yesterday he had
ceme down from that ridge, and to-
day he was going back. He went
straight to the mouth of Neewa’s

. den, which was uncovered now, and

thrust in his head and shpulders,

and sniffed. Ah! but’that lazy ras—

cal of a bear was a sleepyhead! He -
was still sleeping. ,' Miki could

smell him. Listening hard, he could,

hear him. '

He climbed over the low drift
of snow that had packed itself in"
the neck of the, cavern and “entered
confidently into the » darkness. I “He
heard a'sott, sleepy grunt and a
great sigh. He 'almost stumbled
over Neewa,, who ,had changed his
bed. Again Neewa grunted, and
Miki whined. He ran his muzzle in-
to Neewa’s fresh,'new coat of spring
fur and smelled his way to NeQWa’s
ear. After all, it was" only yester—
And he remembered every-

and then he barked "in. that? _ l'ow,

gave a great yawn.   V 
CHAPTER TWENTYLli‘OllR 1-“.
ESHABA, the old Cree, men
the sunny side of a: rock-vonéthe
sunny side of a slope {that
looked up and down the‘ivall-ey'. Mes-

haba—who ‘ many, ' many years ago,
'had been called The Giant ——*~was

very old. He Was so old that even‘
the Factor’s books over at'Fort-O’
God had no’ record of his birth: nor
the “post logs” at Albany-'Hbuse,-ror
Cumberland House, or- ' Norway
House, or Fort Churchill. Perhaps
farther north, at Lac. La Biehe, at
Old Fort Resolution, or: IatrFortxMc-
Pherson some 'trace of .him- might
have been found. His skin wascrin-
kled and weather-worn, like .dry
buckskin, and over his brown,.thin
face his hair fell to his shoulders,
snow-white. His hands were thin,
even his nose was thin with the
thinness of age. But his eyes were
still like dark garnets, and down
through the great part of a century
their vision had come undimmed.
They roved over the valley now.

At Meshaba’s back, a mile; on the
other side of the ridge, was the old .

trapper-’3 cabin, where he lived
alone. The winter had been long and
cold, and in his‘gladness at the com-
ing of spring Meshaba had come up
the ridge to bask in the sun and
look out over the changing ,world.
For an hour his eyes hadtravelled
up and down the valley like, theileyes
of an old and wary‘haWk. , The dark

plain a hundred yardsllaway, But
this did notinterest him, except that

if it had netlbee'n in ligament vision'

he, could] have seen aﬂniue. farther
down the ,valley.",f_[.l  ..  
In that hour of ' Siphnix‘ﬁlike WatCh-
ing, while“ the smoke curled slowly
up fi‘bm his black pipe, Meshaba had
seen life. 1 Half” a mile from where

‘he was sitting a ‘band of caribou
had come out of the timber and.

wandered into a less distant patch
of low bush. They had not thrilled
his old blood with a desire to kill,
for there was already a fresh'car-
cass hung up at the back of his
cabin. Still farther away he had
seen a hornless moose, so protesque
in its'spring upliness that the par-
chment-like skin of his face had
cracked for half an instant in a
smile,‘ and out of him had come a
low and appreciative grunt; for
Meshaba, in spite of his age, still
had a sense of humor left. Once
he had seen a wolf, and twice a fox,
and nowhis eyes were on an eagle
over his head, Meshaba would"th
have shot that eagle, for year after

year it had .come down through time ..

with him, and it was aIWays there
soaring in the sun when spring came
So Meshaba grunted as he watched
it, and was glad that Upisk had not

died during the winter.

“Kata y ati sisew,” he, whispered
to himself, a glow of superstition in

‘his ﬁery eyes. ‘We have lived long

together,.and it is fated that we die

come for us many times, and soon

“Ohne moosh! ” gasped Meshaba,
under his breath—4‘9. dog!”
He seemed to draw slowly into
himself, slinking backward. His
riﬂe stood just out of reach on the
other side of the rock.
At the other end of that eighty
or- ninety yards Neewa and Miki
stoodablinking in the bright sunlight,
with the mouth of the cavern in
which Neewa had slept so many
months just behind them. Miki was
puzzled. Again it seemed. to him
that it was only yesterday, and not
months ago that he had left Neewa
in that den, sleeping his'lazy head
01!. And now.that he had returned
to him after his own hard winter
in the forests he was astonished to
ﬁnd Neewa so big. For Neewa had
grown steadily -through his four
months’ nap and he was half again
as big ’as when he went to sleep.
CouldsMiki have spoken Cree, and
had Meshaba given him the oppor-

situation. ' 1 ' - '
" "'fYou see, Mr. India'n”-—;he might
have‘said—f‘this dub'of a bear and
I‘ have been' pals from .just about
the time we were born. ’ A .man
named Challoner tied~ us ‘ together
ﬁrst when Neewa, there,. was just
about as big as your head, and we
did a lot of scrapping before we got
properly acquainted. Then we got
lost, and after that we hitched up
like brothers} and we had a lot of
’un and excitement all through last
' summer, until at last, When the cold
weather came, NeeyVa hunted up this
hole in the ground and the lazy
c’uss went to sleep for all winter, I
won’t mention what happened to me
'during the winter. It was a-plenty.
’So. this spring I had a hunch it was
about time for Neewa to get the cob-
webs out of his i’ool head, and come
back. :‘And—here we "are! [But tell
me this: What makes Neewa so big?”
It was at least that thoughtwthe
bigness of Neév'va—that was ﬁlling
Miki’s head at the present moment.
And Meshaba, in~ place of listening
to an explanation, was reaching for
his rifle—while NeeWa, with his
brown muzzle snifﬁng the wind, was
gathering in a strange smell. Of the
three, Neewa saw nothing to . be
wondered at in the situation itself.
When he had gone to sleep four and
a ,half months ago Miki was at his
side; and. today, when he awoké,
iki was still at' his side. The four .
and a half months meant nothing to
him. Many times he and ‘Miki had
gone 'to sleep, and had awakened
together. For all the knowledge he
had of timeit might have been only
last night that'he had fallen asleep.
The one ‘ithing that .made Neewa
uneasy‘ now was that strange odor
he, had caughtin the air. Instinc-
tively he seized upon it as a menace
,—at least as something that he
would rather not smell than smell.
So; he turned away with‘a warning
woof to .Miki. 'When ‘ Meshaba"
peered around. the edge ofjthe rock,»
expeCting ' an easy .,shot,~.,he caught.

i The first guncotton-nitroglycerin

dynamite without a headache

UMORITE is the ﬁrst guncotton-nitroglycerin dynamite
. put on the market that can be used with a certainty that
no headache will result.

'If you have ever suffered from “Dynamite headache,” you can
apprec1ate what a boon this new Du Pont explosive is to the
farmers of this country—in this one particular alone.

In addition to this feature, DumOrite has approxifnately‘t‘he
same strength as 40% dynamite, the slow, heaving effect of
“20%,” and you can buy 135 to 140 sticks at the same price
as 100 sticks of “40%.” This low cost, added to its other
advantages, makes Dumorite the. choice of most farmers for
blasting stumps and boulders.

see yOur local hardware or general store merchant regarding your
season’s supply of Dumorite. Write us for descriptive booklet

A STATEMENT FROM THE PUBLISHER

' Playin’ square and stickin’ to principles
isn’t always easy!

 

 

that are featherin’-their-ncsts at the expense
of the community.

And woe bctide him that does not play the
game as THEY want it playcdi

Now, The Business Farmer, may be as full
of faults as a porcupine is of quills, but we
have never been accused of “laying—down” or
“bei11" afraid to speak out in meetin,”
it came to ﬁghting the just battles of the farm-
ers of Michigan, our home state.

- So, when we began receiving letters a month
or so ago from good farmer friends of The
Business Farmer, asking if We had “sold out,”

' ~ we gave them little notice. They persisted,
however, so that we began to wonder if some
one was trying to throw out a smoke-screen,
behind which he and his gang could hide dur-
ing the coming elections. -

So perhaps it is best to reiterate this state-
ment and I hope every good friend and reader
will pass it “along: ~ .

The Michigan Business Farm. is

OWNED, EDITED AND PUBLISHED

IN MICHIGAN and by men born and

bred in this state, with no inth in

other states. It will continue to serve
the farmers and the farming business in

Michigan wholly and solely so long as we

‘ own and control it and if we over "~‘sell

out” to anyone, a full statement of the

I fact Will be published in thesis columns. ‘

f During the present period of readjustment

' ‘ in both mechanical and other departments, we

are issuing every other week, but every issue
missed will be credited to every subscriber on
our list and their subscription extended ac-
cordingly.

 o It is our intention to resume regular weekly

. publication dates, just as soon as conditions

. will permit and in the meantime to continue

 ‘ to give you, to the best of our ability, 3. real,

 fair and square, but not afraid, farm paper.

many advantages; ,

Recently, I installed a small wireless re-
ceiving set in my house. I prepared to erect
my aerial out/ of “doors but a. friend advised
me to put it in the attic. If it is impossible
to comprehend how these sound waves trav-
erse Space and are caught" up by bare wires

wires behind boards and rafters and shingles?
But there comes altime in the life' of every
amateur radio fan when he ceases to ask ques-
tions about the marvels of radio and automa-
tically obeys every suggestidn made by his
friends. Nothing is any longer impossible. So
in the attic went my aerial and downvthrough
the corner of a register to a water pipe in the
basement went my ground. Consult Mr. Fer—
ris before you put your aerlal indoors. It is
better outside.) ‘

I hooked it up Saturday evening, April 1st.
With what feverish haste and ex ..tan.cy did
I “listen in” for WWJ, the ﬁgroﬁ News
station symbol. All I got Was a hum." ' I ad-
justed the detector and the tuners. More him.
I adjusted them again and got some more
hum, but the only human voices that came to
my ears Were those‘of the children who stood
around on tip-toe, with mouths open waiting
to hear the concert. To make a long story
short I 'spont all Saturday evening, Sunday
afternoon and evening, Monday and Tuesday
evenings tinkering with the wiring and the
adjustments and shouting to ‘the children to
keep still. I despaired. Was wireless after all
a magician ’s talc? Wednesday eVenln I hope-
lesst put on the head—set and wit out any
enthusiasm manipulated the tuners. Suddenly
my heart stood still, a thrill that comes once
in a life-time leaped through my veins, for
there clear as a. bell came, “WWJ, Detroit
News Radio Station.” Radio concerts are now
the order of the evening at our house. .

Tho Function of C(mgreill

- “T HE function of‘Congress,” says Percy

H. Johnston. president of tho Gimmical
National Bank of of? York, “is to inspire
rather than reflect the thought of its constit-
uents." ‘

The Johnson theory is not a new one at all.
Indeed, it is the oldest theory of government
in the world. In the days of Pharaoh, Caesar,
Napoleon and even to the times. of Czar
Nicholas and Kaiser

they should be gova'nod was a most prepos-
terous assmnptiou. The people were “in-
spircd” to adopt the religion at their sovereign
and ﬁght his personal battles with neighboring
princes. What tho people'thought about those
matters was of no consequence; whatever.-

might be another that thought the

Method of Cleaning
7. , “Rugs and carpets in rooms in con—
. :stant use need to be brushed or
'1 cleaned with the carpet sweeper
every day or two; and once a week

a- vacuum cleaner, or in the case of
small rugs, beaten out of doors.
Sweeping should be made as dust-
less as possible by dampening the
.j broom or scattering crumpled bits of
. newspaper, moist tea leaves, or one
i. of the commercial sweeping prepara-
-‘ tions on the surface of the carpet.
‘ These methods must be used with
care, however, for delicately colored

" . 'carpetings are especially like to be
streaked by moisture. If a carpet or
'. rug still seems very dusty after

cleaning, the surface may be wiped
with a cloth wrung as dry as'pos-
sible from clear water. '

rugs over carpets is that 'they can
be taken out-of-doors more easily
and often to be cleaned, thus remov-
ing the dirt from the house with
them and lessening noise and confu-
sion Within. a ' I i
A freshly spilled liquid should not
be rubbed from a carpet or rug, be-
cause this tends to drive it into the
fabric. If possible, it should be cov-
ered at once with corn meal, talcum
powder, blotting paper torn into bits,
or any other absorbent material
which will take it up and prevent
its spreading.
H. & H. soap used with a soft
brush- cleans the surface of carpet
an}? rues splendidly. Carpets may be
cleaned rig-ht on the ﬂoor of the
room. ,
"'- The Carpet Sweeper
The efﬁciency of a carpet sweeper
depends in part on how clean it is
kept. It should be emptied frequent-
ly-and the hair and threads cleaned
from the brush with a Wire hair—
.brush, old scissors, a currycomb, a
buttonhook, or an old coarse comb.
_ Old carpet sweepers can often be
' _supplied with new brushes and rub-
ber tires and made as good as new.

' ‘ Floor Oil

Which both cleans and polishes.
2—3 paraﬁn oil, 1—3 gasoline. A table—
' spoon ofvturpentine to 1 pint of
liquid.

n‘osn PLANTS DIE

I am a new reader of your valuable
paper'and like it very much, especially
the Home Department. I see so many.
.questlons answered in this department.
so would like to ask a few myself. Can
the editor or any of the readers tell me-
through the Home Department of the
Michigan Business Farmer what ails my
rose plants? I have for several years
started wee bushes or plants from cut-

~tings with good success. I started some

last fall, they did well for a while, but
for the last few months they have what
looks like mildew or mold or,is it blight?
It comes on the leaves in spots, looks
like White powder, ' in a short time the
leaves will shrivel or curl up. It will
wash off but it comes back on again.
I have washed it off with nicotine di-
luted with water, also with strong soap
suds and a few, days ago a friend told
me to try common laundry bluing,’ di-
luted With water. I did try that, they
looked nice for a few days, but it iso

Dear Uncle Ned—I just read your let-
ter and thought I would write and tell
you I agree with you about a dog try-
ing to imitate music. I wonder if you
or any. of the cousins have ever read
“Michael” or “Jerry’ books by Jack Lon-
don? They are about Irish terriers that
sang. I have wondered what made the
dogs sing when the piano is played or
they hear .music. I have reached the
conclusion myself that they are trying to
imitate the music—Myrtle Bearss. Owen-
dale, Mich. -

. __‘__

Dear Uncle Ned—I have been reading.
the Children’s Hour for years. I have
been thinking of writing for a long time.
I am-ﬁfteen years Old, my birthday is the.
fourth' of May. I lfve on the' farm. I
liked Nellie Inman's letter. I agree with
Wyanda Sanborn, for I do notcare about
knowing all about the number of pigs
and chickens. I have not attended school
for over a year and a half and can say

I am not nearly so contented and care-

free as when I went to school every day.
The weather is awful. It has been rain-
ing for two days. The trees are loaded
with ice.

Why couldn’t we have some sort of a
one tell their own
opinion. We Could use life on the farm or
city life as a topic. I think it would make
it more interesting. It doesn’t seem to me
people in the city are as healthy as those
in the country. Of course I may be
wrong. But I. just wanted to start some—
thing. I am your niece—Mildred Chase.
Stockbridge. Mich.. R. 3,’ Box 59, care
H. J. Chase.

Your suggestion is very good and
there are many very interesting sub-
jects we might discuss. A few are:
What bird is most helpful to the
farmer and why? Who is your favo-
rite author and why? What pro-
fession you intend to take up when
you ﬁnish school and why?- '

Dear Uncle Ned—I will be glad when
all the birds get here. Some are here

.now. We have a large vine by..the perch

and every summer the birds‘ uiid "nests
in- it. Last spring two robins built anest
there and hatched four little robins.
When the little birds became strong
enough to ﬂy they ﬂew ‘away. About two
weeks after that two humming birds
came and built another nest there. The
two'nests are there yet.

I"‘g0 tO’a country school and have.
three-quarters of a mile to go. Iaam in
the seventh grade but am taking up all
eighth grade work. I am 12 years I oi'd.
Your loving nieces—Alice W. Wellington,
Mayvilie, Mich. . ,

. Dear Uncle Ned—I came from Idaho
about ﬁve years ago. We certainly had
a nice trip. We came on the Milwaukee
and St. Paul railroad from St. Maries,
Idaho, to’ Chicago. The trains are run
by electric motors over the Rocky moun-
tains. We saw beautiful scenery when
traveling over the mountains. ‘

' We left COeur D’ Alene, Idaho. on Mon-
day noon and arrived here Friday after-
noon. We would have gotten here Friday
morning but some box cars tipped over
this side of Grand Rapids and we had
to go around by the way of Grand Ledge
to get to Edmore. then our train was
gone so we had to telephone to our folks
to have them come and get us and so we
ended our journey in a little old Ford.
I like Michigan better than Idaho. With
love to Uncle Ned and all the cousins.
—Doris Wernette, Remus, Mich. -

 

Dear Uncle Ned—I am a girl 17 years
old. I live on a ZOO-acre farm. We have
just 84 chickens. We are not‘ going to
raise chickens this yearNI am going to
make a garden this year. I have never
made one before, nor even help take care
of one. I will make a frame and cover
it with fencing.«Later I will write and
let you.and the boys and girls know"
how I am getting along—Irene Horton,
Fowlervilie. Mich. ,

are caused we will take up later On,

in, the year but new We are inter—

ested in receiving these .mauybroad-
casted messages and muﬂc. It’will
be our aim ﬁrst to describe the sink,

\plo receiving sets, and give in" da-

tall all instructions » how to make
them, and give approximate costs, -
after Which we will take up the more
complicated cues for receiving diﬂr
tan-t stations. ._ 7.
It may be Well to give here just

a tow words on the production of
these radio waves or impulses. It
has been found that every time an
electric circuit is broken that slight
impulses are sent out, and with the
proper instruments these breaks can
be heard in telephone receivers.
Some transmitting sets use the
impulses,
others use a vacuum tube( which
has certain Working parts inside of
it) andalso an electric arc is used
(this are is something like the arc
lights used in cities). Each method

- has it’s advocates, but at the pres-

ent time thervacuum tube-sand the
are is used for radio telephOne. the
tube having the preference.

To receive these electric impulses,
or. waves, we /must have some
method of intercepting them“ or
catching them, leading them to our
instruments and then detect them,
then tune them andthen lead'them
to some instrument that will enable
us to hear them, this latter is usu-
ally done with a set of telephone

receivers. It sounds complicated but
it is not, and for those of you who '

are within 25 miles of Detroit, yes
and even farther should be able to
hear the Detroit News concerts with-
out trouble with the simplest rev
calving set. The ﬁrst set we will
describe will be 8. “Crystal” set.
We will first take up the catching
of these, waves, and those of you
who are interested can .start right
in to make the parts as I describe
them, tho you will not want to put
thisﬁrst. part up. till you have the
rest of the set'made, you can have
This
ﬁrst part is the AERIAL, and it
catches the waves. In connection
with the aerial you will need a good'
“ground” as it is called, and that
is a good electrical connection to
the earth. The “ground” will be
described later, ‘ '
The diagram shown here gives you ;
an idea. of where to- put up your
aerial, and gives some measure-
ments. These measurements may
vary. but the general length given
(150 feet over all length) should
be closely followed‘within a few feet
either way. . .
The aerial “consists of 2 wires sus-
pended in the air, from which one
wire will lead in to your house then
thru Your instruments and then to
the ground. The serial should be
suspended with rope (clothes line
will do) and pulleys so that you can
let it down and put it up easily. It
should not be placed close to trees,
but it one end is fastened to a tree,

then the end of the aerial should

be (at least 10 feet from the nearest
branches.

Besides a law nails. screws, rope
and small pulleys, which can be
found on every'farm, it will ,be“
necessary to/ get, the. following arti—

ring from the roof tastﬁn a pole, to

one "end of which you ‘ ave fastened

' a small pulley thru which you have

run a piece of rope 50 or more feet
long. We will assume that the top
of this pole is 40 feet from the
ground, and that one end of your
aerial will be fastened to it. Now
about 100 feet from this pole fasten
another pulley and rope at about
be same height from the ground.
This tar and can be fastened to 'a
building, windmill tower, pole or
tree. ‘ ' '

Look at Fig. 1, and fasten 5 por- ,
celean knobs. to each bamboo rod.
Two of these limbs are for the ‘
aerial wines. two for the guy wires,
and one for the suspending rope, as
fastened to each rod. After you have
these fastened on, take the bamboo
rods (they are called "snreeders")
and tasteu them to two trees about
so that the
spreads“ are about, 3 feet on the
ground. Now take you copper wire
and taster: it to the Spreaders by
tying it thru the knobs, so that you
have 2 parallel wires ». that are f
stretched evenly. - ’ '

Take the remaining 100 test of
wire, fold it in the middle and twist
it into one wire 50 feet long." This
can be done by fastening one‘énd 'to ' -
a tree and theother end—to a breast
drill‘or brace and bit, and twisting
it up, till it will hold its twist. Fasten

toktfhe end of the aerial that will
fasten to the pole on your house.
Solder the joints. ' I

You now have an aerial with load-
in attached and ready to fasten to
your ropes and hoist, with the ex-
ception of the guys which will be put
on just before hoisting the aerial
into place. The guys con- be wire or

The law states'timt if berry plants .

are grown tar the purpose of sell-
ing them they should be inSpected.
If the grover retails them he should
also take out a nurseryman’s license,
be. he does not need to do so if the
st 'ck “is to be disposed of at whole-
sale to a nursery. In either ease the
plants should be inspected. No nurs-
eryman should buy plants not cov—
ered by a certiﬁcate of inspection.
\An exception is made in case or
those who are growng for fruit. Such
persons are allowed to sell surplus
plants without a license or inspec-
tion, unless they are advertising
plants for sale, in Which case they
would be classed as nurserymen.

Postoﬂices, eXpress and freight
companies are forbidden to recs-lye
for transportatiorl trees, shrubs and
plants with-out a certiﬁcate of in-
spection. ‘

The ovmer of a Wood lot may sell
at retail forest. trees from it with-

I The early or‘dOrmant spray is the
some for all. trees and it is .uslially
lime-sulphur, because it is both a;
scale destroyer and a fungicide.
When trees are badly inﬂected with
the San Jose scale, some orchardists
prefer a nuscible oil spray, and it
is also more effective on the oyster-
sh‘ell scale than lime-sulphur, but
does not rid a tree otturigons Spores.
If there is no scale, a weak solution
at copper-summw, one pound to 50
gallans of water, may be used. This
is especially good for controlling the

are set in .rows about seven
Vapartwand .trom three to‘ four
feet apart 'inthe row; ‘

' Thu-ﬁrst summer the ground can
be cuttit'ated both ways till the
vines areylarge enough to‘ interfere,
when they are trained along the

   

. rows and the cultivation continued

one day. The, dewb’erry propogates

‘ from the tips, 80 there is not a drop

of“ suckers to be cut ott, as in the
case of high-bush blackberries.

After the" ﬁrst year the vines are
tied to wires stretched along the
row, about three feet above the
ground and fastened to posts or
stakes, set close enough to keep the
Wires in place. Such wires as is
used for a grape trillis is advised,
as the vines of the dewberry make
a heavy load. .

After the vines have born a crop '

they are cut Out. This may be done
in the fall but is usually left ’till
spring for the sake'ot the protection
the old vines afford to
growth.

In the ‘spring the vines which
grew during the previous summer
are tied .to the trellis. If too long
they are cut back. This is about all
the pruning required, as the young
run on the
ground during the summer, merely
being trimmed along the rows to
keep them out of the way of the
cultivator and the berry pickers.

For garden culture the plants are
tied to assume, one for each hill.
They can then be planted four feet
apart each way. 'The Same plan is
sometimes folloWed in ﬁeld culture
and is to be adviSed where the land
area is limited. ’ 0

When new plants are wanted the
tips of the new vines are buried in
the fall after they have stopped
grewin'g. They can- also be propo-
gated by root cuttings, but growing
from the tips is the easier way. The
tips take root as easily as black-cap
raspberries. I

As has been stated,» the Lucretia
is the variety grown in the north for
market. The' variety ﬁrst came in-
to general notice in 1886. The fruit
is large, 01! good quality and ready
for market several days ahead of
the high-bush blackberry. The vine
has proved hardy, productive and
capable of thriving on a sandy soil.
This cembination of virtures has en-
abled it to secure a place of its own
among fruit growers. ' »

DON’T POISON THE BEES

refinement of 8. Morgan with the heavy-
lifting abilities of a Shire. The beautiful,
snow-white mare, La Belle, now in her
nineteenth year, has just given birth to a.
ﬂlly of which Laet is-tlie sire. Lia. Belle’s
normal weight is a ton and. despite the-
fact that she \will soon be 20 years old,
the average observer would not estimate

.her age at more than eight years; for

years‘ at Columbus and other leading
Ohio fairs, this wonderful animal has
won ﬁrst priZe as a. model brood mare.

Work on the foundation for the colli-
seum, to be built on the Michigan State
Fair grounds, at Detroit, is well forward
and no valid reason can be aséig‘ned why
the building should not be completed at,
of the
fair. The outside dimensions of t is won-
derful amitheatre'are- 275x375 feet. The
construction will be of steel. encased in
concrete and the entire roof will be of
tile. The drainage. plumbing and elec-
tric lighting systems will be strictly mod-
ern and the furnishings, the best that
money will buy. The construction will be
absolutely ﬁreproof. '

Manager F. A. Clark of Currie Farms,
Farwell, Mich., reports the sale of the
Shorthorn bull Diamond Star and 2 heif-
ers to Byron Hudson, who is founding a.
herd at Rosebush, Mich. Mr. Clark adds:
“Inquiries and sales are increasing;
Michigan farmers are looking forward to

'a. better " year.”

The American Shorthorn Breeders’ As-
sociation anno-unces'that hereafter the

,transferfe‘e will be [increased to $1. The

period of time after a sale in. which a
transfer may be made without penalty

~ also has been reduced from 6 to 3 months.

These changes were voted by the board

- of directors of the association at the an-

nual meeting on Dec. 28. It is announced
that the increased revenue brought in by
the new transfer fee will be used to aid
state and district breeders’ associations-
to employ managers or secretaries. Who
will devote their time to the management
of sales. and to other means of helping
bring buyers and sellers together. The
recording fee for calves under 12 months
was reduced on Jan. 15 from $2.50 to $2.

The American Poland-China Record
Association reports that the Ohio asso-
cinfion is raisins: funds with which to
erect a monument onpthe farm .in War—
ren county where the first Poland-China.
pedigree was written in about .1875. It
was writtenin the home of W. C. Han—
kinson, near Blue Ball. The Hankinson-
estate still owns the farm, and has of-~
fered a plot of land ‘on which the Ohio
association will erect-the monument.

 

 

A litter of 4 pigs exhibited at four

MICHIGAN GETS GRAND CHAMPION
. STALLION
. E. SCRIPPS owner of Wildwood.
Farms near Orion, Michigan whose,
' world famous Aberdeen Angus Sire,
Edgar of Daimeny has gained for him.-
a. nation wide reputation as an Angus
breeder, as entered another ﬁeld of en-
deavor. I

Mr. Scripps recently purchased from
Bros, of Wooster. Ohio,
“George Henry” the Grand Champion
Belgian Stallion at the International Ex-
position in Chicago in 1921, and also 12‘
pure bred Belgian mares.

It is Mr. Scripps intention to enter
the Belgian horse ﬁeld with the eam‘e~
spirit of enthusiasm and .with the same.-
ideals as he entered the Angus cattle
business some years ago. Mr. Scripps
has made rapid strides in building up-
a blue-ribbon herd of Angus cattle which.
have been predominating factors in state
and international expositions and which
have done much to build up the Angus.
herds of Michigan. It is with.this same
thought that Mr. Scripps has brought to
Michigan the best horses obtainable.

when most of the farm hens'wefe
not laying. But it takes little more
effort and scarcely any more money
for feed to_ produce high priced eggs
than low priced. The most import-v
ant thing just now is early hatch-r
ing. Perhaps we should place first
of all good pure breeding stock.
Farmers who have not gotten eggs—
in the past should look carefully to f‘
the stock from which they "hatch.
this spring. They may of course have
the right stock, and if they hatch
early this spring-and giye their
chicks good care and feeding, bring
their pullets into laying'a’tthe right
time next fall.

"There will always be a surplus
of eggs, and low prices in the spring
and late winter. But there will probv
ably never be enough eggs produced
in fall and winter, to bring winter
prices lower than they were a few
months ago. But remember it’s the

 

early hatched chick that produces 1 :3:
the high priced eggs.” ‘ - ,, “OI

Farmers who understood how to 
cull and feed "for ég'gs were hun-r. 0rd
dreds of dollars ahead of the farmer . 1m:

who didn’t, for they could feed their 1
low priced grain to chickens: :{ and
turn out high priced eggs.

'2‘ j'mAD-E AND BUSINESS ‘nmnw '

EPORTB on business 
the country over, indicate a de-r

_. cided broadening in the demand
for the necessities of life and a dis-
position to make plans ior' the .fu-

ture that show increased conﬁdence

in the early arrival of an era of
PTO'Sperity. Of Course there 'is as
usual, of late, .a lack of uniformity
in- trade developments, tradesmen in
districts coming strong
with their orders for spring __goods
while others are still inclined to be
conservative, ordering only enough
goods to take the place ‘of articles
recently sold. Some business lines
are feeling the depression which
naturally follows the calling of a
countryawide coal strike.

The demand for many lines of
basic materials, used for manufac-
turing purposes, is increasing by
leaps and bounds; this statement
applies to iron ore, coal, lumber and
all other building material. Those
who have been looking for lower
prices for high~ggrade lumber are
surely doomed to disappointment;
the key to the situation is the ex—
tremely active export demand for all
of the better grades of lumber. The
foreign builder is l-ooking'for high-
.grade lumber and experience has

- taught the American builder that
the best is the cheapest in the longr

run when applied to the lumber
problem; the competitive demand
for all of the better grades of lum—
ber is the under current that is
causing quotations to ﬁrm up all
along the line.

Since the last writing, the auto-
mobile business has gone forward,

‘ rapidly, until many of the leading

duction basis. The demand for
motor trucks is improving, every
day, the old idea that horse-drawn

v vehicles will soon play a return en-

gagement, has been exploded and is
no longer even though-t of by deal-
ers, who have a large delivery, dis-
tributed over a wide area The de~
mand for tractors is, just now, at
its height and is, in fact, much more
active than was looked for by deal--
ers and manufacturers or the pub—
lic at large.

Country dealers in farm supplies
are said to be suffering more this
spring than for many years because
of the ultra couservative attitude of
the average American farmer: the
volume of sales is not large enough
to yield an adequate income when
the emetremely narrow mar “ins, up—
on which business is no»? done,“is
taken into consideration. in con-‘-
nection with current failures in
business a mixed situation exists;
Failures in March reported to Brad-
street’s number 2,307 with liabili-
ties totaling $537,516,590, Wing
with 1,500 failures with indebted-
ness of $68,698,350 in March, 1921.

nounced and prices were only oil! in,
making a total of 3 l-Zc for the two
weeks. The Detroit market has
been dull. Offerings have been
small and buying, both domestic and
foreign, of a, slow nature. At Chicago
there has been a ﬁrm tone to the
grain the major part of the time. It
is said that this has been due to, the
inﬂuence of wheat and to lack of
selling pressure rather than to active
purchasing. Buying at this point
has been light, domestic demand be-
ing very dull and exporters pram»

The Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by the
bacillus Bacterium ’Pullorum trans—
mitted through the yolk. There is
scarcely a hatch without some in-
fected chicks. The germs can be kill-
ed by the use of preventives. Intest—
inal Antiseptics to kill the germs
should be given as soon as the chicks
are out of the shell. It is much easi—
er to prevent than it is to cure.

How to Prevent White Diarrhea

Dear Sir: I have raised poultry
for'years and have lost my share of
little chicks from White Diarrhea.
Finally I learned of Walker’s Walko
Remedy for this disease, so sent for
two 500 packages to the Walker
Remedy,Co., Dept. 686, Waterloo
Iowa. I raised over 500 chicks and
never lost a single one from White
Diarrhea. W-alko not only prevents
White Diarrhea, but it gives the
chicks strength and vigor—they de—
velop quicker and feather, earlier. I
have found this company thoroughly
reliable and always get the remedy
by return mail. Mrs. D. L. Tam,
Burnetts Greek, Ind.

Don’t Wait

Don’t wait until Wlhite Diarrhea gets
half or two-thirds your chicks. Don’t let
it get started. Be prepared. Write today.
Let us prove to you that Walko will pre-
Serrd 50c for box
on our guarantee-«money back if not sat-
isﬁed. Walker Remedy 00., Dept. 683
‘Waterloo, Ia —-Adv.
