"Cow testing associations, the detection and
elimination of bad cows, how to replace bad
cows with productive cows, breeding associations
and correct feeding are some of the important
issues which the government strikes at in an
educational exhibition. Those who were at the
National Dairy how last year will recall an ex-
hibit similar to this which caused much favorable
comment.

What interests the farmer most for he is the
most important exhibitor and visitor at the fair,
is the increase in premiums at this .year’s fair.
More than $100,000 are being offered compared
to $70,000 paid a year ago. Premiums for the
important breeds in many cases have been in-
‘creased and the less important breeds have been
eliminated. .

the fair starts and has a seating capacity of 8,000
persons, providing ample facilities /for those int-
erested in watching the judging. The structure
of reinforced concrete and steel represents an in-
vestment of $300,000 and is considered the ﬁnest
fair building in North America.

A recent announcement of Mr. Dickinson's has
to do with the decrease in admission to the fair
which this year will be We compared to 75¢ a
year ago. The fair chief believes this will have
a great inﬂuence on the ticket sale.

Practically every department in the fair has
been Widened in scope and several new att -
tions—a baby parade for one, have been added.

Farmers throughout Michigan touring to the
State Fair this year will ﬁnd in the State Fair
tourist camp a place to camp that will be sani-
tary and accessible at all times. Ample police
protection for property will be provided constant-
ly and nothing left undone to make the visitor’s
stay an enjoyable one.

While the fair fundamentally is an educational
institution, there are, of course, a number of at-
tractions designed to relieve the monotony of
constant lecture and contructive exhibits—4nd
these will be found on the midway where the
Rubin & Cherry hows—artistocrats of the tent-
ed world—will be found.

Added to the fair this year are radio exhibits
and new exhibitions. The radio and what it
promises for the farmer and a thorough presenta-
tion of the plane as a means of transportation
will be presented.

ssFly,Free”_ Dates for Seeding Winter Wheat

State and to base the time for sowing on the aver-

age tim‘b observed during a period of 25 years'

over the entire United States. This study is
based on an investigation made by Dr. A. D. Hop-
kins of the U, S. Bureau of Entomology.

The calendar on this page shows the dates for
the diﬂereni counties in the Lower Peninsula. It
is, of course, imperfect as yet because no one can
forecast what the weather is going to be a month
or so in advance. Furthermore the table deals
with averages based on the weather of years past.
It is based on a study of the advance of the sea-

~ son frdm the South to the North and the dates



are determined by the latitude, the longitude, and
the altitude. It should, ‘as well, be corrected for
character of soil and for the inﬂuence of bodies
of water. Furthermore, some of our counties
vary a good deal in altitude, and a high altitude
hastens the date of seeding. No attempt has
been made in this calendar to compute for areas
smaller than counties, nor to allow for the inﬂu-
ence of large bodies of water, although Lake
.Michigan undoubtedly lengthens out the period
during which new seeding may get established
and, therefore, makes it safe to delay seeding
somewhat beyond the date set. This applies
merely to the west" coast for a few miles inland.

Asgalready stated the higher the altitude the
earlier the planting should be done. In this

."brief space it is impossible to name .the planting

date for each 100 feet of altitude. In the calcu-
darshown the highest altitude is given and farm-

. ers living in the‘ respective counties should gauge
their planting date accordingly. While there is .

no set rule. the planting date may be safely ad-
vanced one day for each 100 feet below the al-
titude given, or. delayed one day for each 100
feet above the :given altitude. Exampleza The

BAKER LEADS IN STRAW BALLOT ,

THE ﬁrst returns on Michigan Business Farm-
_ er’s straw vote on the United States sena-
torship shows H. F. Baker the choice by a very
large majority. ‘Baker’s total up to Tuesday
noon, August 15th, was 121, or over three
times as great as the vote of all his opponents
put together. The vote on the other three sena-
torial candidates is as follows: Emery, 10; Kel-
ley, 14; “Townsend, 15.

Ninety-six votes were registered for Groesbeck,
30 for Fletcher and 22 for Joslin. .

One hundred and nineteen expressed themselves
in favor of the gasoline tax and forty-four against
it.

The straw vote will be continued until the
primaries. Those who have not yet voted are
urged to do so at once. ‘

'HE Dairymen’s League Co-operative Associa-

 organizations, seeks to obtain for its ‘mem-

bers the best current, prices and ,a stable "market
for their products. But that is only-part of the
problem. For‘if the best price“bbtainable does
not cover the costof production, the' dairy farmer
will be in 'a hole; 'he will be pretty much in the
position of a man who is trying 'to ﬁll a bucket
which has a hole in- the-bottom; the water will
run out faster than he can pour it in.

Now while a group of dairymen can undoubted-
ly get a better price for their product through an
organization like the Dairymen’s League Co-oper-
ative Association Inc., than they could through
their own individual efforts, yet that price may
still fall short of the cost of production. The
obvious way to get around this difﬁculty is to re-
duce the cost of production by buying raw ma-
terials at the lowest possible ﬁgure. This can be
done through a successful co-operative purchas-
ing organization. Such a plan not only elimi-
nates the middlemen’s proﬁt, to the beneﬁt of the
purchaser, but it effects an additional saving
through quantity buying.

The New York State Dairymen and the farmers
of the state generally are enabled to enjoy the
advantages of co—operative buying through the
Co-operative Grange League Federation Exchange
Inc. This association was organized in June,
1920, by three farmer groups: The old Dairy-
men’s League, the New York State Grange and
the Federation of County Farm Bureau Associa—
tions.

, The Exchange, or G. L. F., as it is called, has
a board of directors of nine members, three from
each of the three founding organizations, three
directors being elected annualy. The organiza—
tion is incorporated under the business corp—
oration laws of the state, under which it is quali—
iied both to buy and to sell.

The capital stock of the G. L. F. is $1,000,000,
of which more than $750,000 has been subscribed
for by the dairymen and farmers of the state,
there being more than 40,000 stockholders. The
stock is non-assessable and pays a maximum
dividend of six per cent. After this stock divi—
dend has been paid and the reserve fund taken

care of, the surplus proﬁts are divided among
those who have bought from the organization, the
amount of the“ purchases made by each customer.
However, stock-holder customers are entitled to
refund rates double those paid to non-stockhoders.

There are several methods followed by which
the farmer-customer get their supplies from the
G. L. F. In some cases they pool their orders
and have a purchasing agent handle the transac-
tion, this man receiving a commission for his ser-
vices. The goods are then shipped by freight in
one or more cars and distributed to the poolers
right from the car door. In some communities
co-operative buying associations have been formed
and a manager is employed to supervise the work.
Many local organizations. have a warehouse and
mill of their own, although some entrust to the
local miller the work of grinding feed. The cen-
tral organization of the Dairymen’s League Co-
operative Association Inc., does not undertake to
buy supplies for co-operative distribution, as the
local branches of the association are incorporated
in such a way that they are permitted both to
buy and to sell and thus the members of the as-
sociation can purchase farm supplies from the
G. L. F. without difﬁculty.

itable. However, better seed, higher yieldingﬁya—
rieties, and more thorough preparation ,of the
seed bed, results in a more rapid depletion of the
available plantfood in the soil which is directly
proportional to the increased yield obtained. The
above.statement is not made to discourage the
use of good seed, better varieties or thorough
preparation of the seed bed but only to call at—
tention to a fact that is too often overlooked.
Every bushel of wheat requires a certain amount
of plantfood in diﬁerent amounts. It is also true
that crops vary considerably in their plantfood
requirements. For these reasons fertilizers that
are especially prepared for wheat, tobacco, cotton
and for a great variety of crops and groups of
crops grown under different soil and climatic
conditions are on the market.

In wheat fertilizers the percent of phosphoric
acid is considerably higher than the percents of
ammonia and potash. They usualy contain from
2 to 4 per cent of ammonia (nitrogen), from 8 to
16 per cent of phosphoric acid and from 2 to 4
per cent of potash. Clay and silt loam soils ord-
inarily need less ammonia and potash than the
sandy loams and where manure has been used
heavily the ammonia and potash in th‘e'fertilizer
can be cut down accordingly. ‘ '

The use of fertilizers on wheat is 'very profit-
able in Michigan, often meaning the difference

between a bumper crop of excellent 'quality and a ’ i

5 to 10‘ bushel yield of inferior wheat. _ Atest

ditions. Imported grass seed is‘not handled. Par-

- ticular pains are taken with fertilizers, to, make

certain that their mechanical condition is perfect,
so that when they reach destination. theywill be
just right for drilling. This is accbmplished by.
regrinding and carefully screening the ingredi-
ents before mixing. The formulas used are based
on those approved by, the New York. State College
of Agriculture at Ithaca.

The G. L. F. handles feeds and grains-include
ing dairy rations and 'poultry feeds; grass and,

ﬁeld seeds; standard commercial fertilizer mix-
tures as well as fertilizer chemicals for home mix-
ing; ground limestone; hard and soft coal; binder
twine; house and barn paints, and «motOr oils.
The various departments are in charge of special—
ists in the particular lines. Incidently, it is of
interest to mention that the head of the seed de-
partment is a former Michigan mam—A. L. Bib-
bins. ‘

During the year 1921 the Exchange did about
$4,000,000 worth of business and hopes to reach
the $5,000,000 mark the coming year and go be-
yond it. To do this would of course really mean

' a very large increase in business, in view of low-

ered market prices. Already fertilizer and seed
sales this season indicate an increase of about
100 per cent over last year’s sales and the balance
sheet for the ﬁrst quarter of 1922 shows a sur-i
plus of nearly $30,000. ' '

SOME SENSlBLE SUGGESTIONS
1TH pleasure we read your com-
ment on taxation and refer-
ence to the platform of the
several candidates for governor of
Michigan. How can any elector re—
concile the attitude of at least two
in the past with their present vague
utterances in ambiguous language?
Why don’t someone hire space in the
M. B. F. and put in something like
this:
“I am in favor of laws taking the
arbitrary powers away from] boards
and commissions as to determining
the necessity for costly works which
make for mortgaging- the future such
as roads, drains, condemnation sites,
etc., and give said determination to-
electors who are liable to pay for
same and subject to a vote of inter-
est all around as determined by a
review to be held before instead of
after ilnal determination is made."
This would challenge the views
of Judge Covert, but no matter as
the welfare of the property owners
who have their places mortgaged
“Willie Nillie” (by electors without
property and high salaried commis-
sioners) is of greater moment than
any ex-legislator’s views or wishes.
Also why not have one class of
electors in Michigan. Not one fran-
chise for general elections and anoth-
er for school electors with both of
too short a residence to become ac-
quainted with the community needs?
Why do not .our would—be law

THE CHICAGO FIRE
EING a reader of your paper I
saw the question about the date
of the great Chicago iire. The
answer was that the ﬁre began in '
the evening of Oct. 8, 1871, and was ,
not extinguished until latesthe‘ foi- ,
lowing night. If you care to print
the following here it is as a matter
of history: \ j ,

The fire began as stated Oct. 8,.
1871, and burned all of the 9th,.
10th and 11th; four days, destroy—
ing 17,450 buildings iii-the city of
Chicago. 250 people lost their lives,
and $290,000,000 worth of property
was destroyed. The ﬁre covered 11
square miles. Nearly 100,000 peo-
ple were left homeless. Property
was insured for $96,500,000, but
only $38,000,000 of this sum was
paid. Contributions were sent in
amounting to $7,100,000. .This lls

HE heart of your tractor is the engine. The life

I blood of the engine is the oil which lubricates it.
When you give your tractor correct lubrication,

you are adding years of life to the machine. There IS
no such thing as a second best lubricating oil or grease.
There is only the right kind and the wrong kind. The
right kind not only prolongs the life of the tractor, but
gets more power out of it, and substantially reduces
your fuel and repair bills. The wrong kind means
“scored” cylinders, “burned” bearings, and a host of
other expensive damages. Repair bills for such dam-

ages are simply ineXcusable in the . light of present
scientiﬁc knowledge. ‘

The correct grade for your tractor is indicated in the chart.
Expert chemists working 1n the modern laboratories of the
Standard Oll Company of Indiana have perfected these
grades of Polarine after studying the design of the tractor,
the type of lubrlcatmg system used, and the behavior of the
engme both in the shop and on the farm.

There. is nothing theoretical about Polarine Oils. They are
screntlﬁcally correct and practically efﬁcient They take into
account all the mechanical factors; for instance, clearance
between the piston and the cylinder wall, method of cooling,
lubricating system used, etc. I -

Polarine ﬂows freely berween the. bearing surfaces, seals
pistons against loss of power, leavmg no dry spots which
would rub together and score the cylinders.

most striking fact in recent Earl history. ’AEarl dealers‘in
these cities report that a large number of the cars already
delivered or now on order have been sold to discriminat-
ing farm owners, after exacting road tests and compari-
sons with other cars—many much higher in price.

 

To the makers of Earl cars this is great and signiﬁcant
news. Any good car can meet the requirements of the 7
average city dweller, with brick and asphalt under his tires
and only occasional runs into the country to tax his machine.

To satisfy the men who live and produce in the
country, however, a motor car must be able to stand up
under all kinds of weather and road conditions. It must
be comfortable and safe and easy on the roughest highways.
It must havepower tospare in the deepest mud and on the
longest hills. And to earn its keep. it must be economical.

The Earl is built to meet just these requirements. Its

The Final Test

The Government needs for its bea-
con lights at the entrance of harbors
and along rocky ocean shores the
most dependable and economical
lighting system it can procure. What
light is used? CARBIDE LIGHT-
ING! What generators? MOSTLY
COLTS!

' Simplicity and Economy

Feed the generator Carbide once in
a while and run water into the water
chamber—that’s all you need do.
The machine makes the gas auto-
matically. No continual replace-
ment of parts and power units.
No service necessary. Your CoI t
is a lifetime investment in reli—
abiIity, simplicity and economy.
The COLT comes from factory to
farm—sold direct to you by COLT
solicitors—no distributors or dealers
to take a proﬁt. This applies every-
where. A substantial saving here.

. Until You Have Heard the
Fun Story of COLT

An investment in better light, better
cooking, comfort, convenience and
happiness indoors is the best invest-
ment you can make—Get the

WIs. EXPERIMENT STATION

Please send me the name and address
of the Wisconsin Experiment station or
Agricultural College. What is the address
of the “National Provisioner" paper?—

tion is afﬁliated with the College of
Agriculture; University of Wiscon—
sin, Madison. The National Provisi-
oner is published at New York City.

CANNOT CLOSE ROAD ACROSS
GAME RESERVE

In order to gain access to a govern-
ment lake ..it is necessary to cross a
game reserve which is traversed by an
open road that has been in use for forty
years. Would it be lawful for a person
to go through this reserve on the road
carrying a gun? Have the owners of this
reserve the right to close the road to
the public?—G. S., 'lk‘averse City, Mich.

If the road is a public highway
and has been used as such for 40
years one has the right to use it as
a highway including the carrying of
his personal effects but he w0uld not
have a right to have a gun in his
possesson for the purpose of shoot-
ing game. If it is a public highway
it can not be closed except by taking
the steps required by law for the
closing of highways.—Legal Editor.

THE INHERITANCE TAX
Is the tax on money which one in-
herits considered a direct or indirect
tax? Two different books in school do
not ee.»-—A. M. M., Gaylord, Mich.
Tge tax on an inheritance is a
dire tax—Legal Editor.

FALLEN TELEPHONE POLES
. Has a telephone company the right.
after their poles and lines have fallen
on the roadside, to leave them strewn
along the highway. such company having
removed boxes along the line? If not,
what can. farmers do to havethem re-
moved?—M. J. 8., Mt. Pleasant, Mich.

There appears to be no specific
statute on this point, but the general
laws prohibiting Obstruction of the
highways or improper use of the
highways would cover such matters.
However, the enforcement of those
laws might be slow and complicated,
perhaps the best method to pursue
in such cases would be for citizens
who are endangered or inconveni-
enced by these poles and lines to re-
port the condition to this Commis—
sion and an effort will be made to
have the lines removed promptly, or
if they are to be re-constructed, re-
paired pro'mptly.~—Michigan Public
Utilities Commission.

OLD MORTGAGE IS ’}OOD
If a mortgage becomes du’, and the
borrower is unable to pay the principal,,
but pays interest, is itmecessary to have
a new mortgage or is the old one all
right—L. M., Stockbridge, Mich.

The mortgage is just as good as

ever upon payment of the interest.

and may continue as long as the
mortgagee’is willing to let it run.
He, may foreclose at any time after
it is due if he does net agree to ex-
tend the time. A chattel mortgage
must be renewed within 30 days next
preceeding one year after it was
ﬁled.

DIVISION OF PROCEEDS

nothing else. A further considera-
tion comes from the fact that each
cow maybe credited with 8 tons of
manure, valued at least at $2.00 ‘a
ton. ~This of course will be left on
the place-for the next year. The

landlord will, therefore, be sharing-*

inthe returns from the cows indirect-
lyth-rough the manure for crops of

lord, therefore, can well afford to

CANNOT COLLECT NOTES IF
' CASE OF FRAUD

In 1918 ome parties from Chicago
came to Six Lakes, Mich, and sold stock
at $105.00 per share to the farmers to
establish a. chain stores known as the
“Universal Stores Corporation.” W. F.
Vedder was president of the corporation.
I gave my note for two shares, but never
received my certiﬁcate of stock. This
was to be delivered to me when I paid

~- for stock. The stock holders'were to re-

ceive 8% interest on their money also a
percent of all surplus over expenses. They
were to buy and ship cattle and as soon
as fully organized ship all produce for
the farmer. Were to purchase goods in
carload lots and retail to the consumer.
None of. these were done. Finally they
went into the receiver’s hands. I did not
pay my note, never received any divi-
dends. Now the receiver threatens to
sue me if I do not pay the note. Can
$111931; collect this from me?——A. J ., Trufant.
c .

If this concern was for the pur-
pose of fraud and notes were given
for which they received no value I
would be of the opinion that they
could not be enforced if properde-
fence was made to an action upon
the note if it had not been trans-
ferred to an innocent purchaser, for
value before it became due. It is
possible that the regulations of the
statute had not been complied with
allowing the sale of the stock and
sales of stock might have been in
violation ' of law; ' I would advise
all Who are “concerned in the matter
furnishing the prosecuting attorney
with all the information they have.
If I was sued on one of these notes,
as it appears now by the receiver,
I would defend against the same.+-

A agreed to furnish the school district
with wood. Now a controversy arises over
whether oak is hard or soft wood. Would

'like to know what kind of wood oak is.

and the kinds of hard wood—D. W.,
Washington, Mich.

Most assuredly oak is hardwood.
In fact, it is one of the hardest of
hardwoods. Other well-known hard-
woods are mahogany, birch, beech,
maple and elm.——Editor.

 

EXAMINATION FOR RAILWAY
MAIL CLERKS

Will you please tell me where I can ob-
tain information as to where and when
examinations for railway mail clerks are
held and where I could obtain the so-
called “schemes” to study on before writ-
ing the examinations?——G. H., Merrill,
Mich. _

No examination is now pending
for the position of railway mail
clerk, and the Commission is unable
to say at this time when another
such examination will be necessary.
Railway mail clerk examinations are
not held with regularity, but only
when the needs of the service re-
quire them. ' ‘

The Commission is unable to give
you any information regarding the
merits of correspondence courses in
preparation for civil service exami-
nations, except to say that a large
percentage of such so-called civil

OLD AND NO HOME

Will you kindl 11 us a. few facts
about mother's ll e _ . She bad part'
of the old home left her at father’s death.
Their son who, earned the balance of the
old homestead persuaded mother to sign,
her life lease to him and wife. They held
joint dead. They both agreed to keep
mother. and provide all care for her. but
soon after she had signed her title to
them the son died. and all the property
went to the wife. the daughter-in-law.
She married again. has the money
received from the farm and will, not do
anything for mother. Mother was, about
80 years old at the time he signed her,
life lease to them and is 96 now, and has
no property at all, and she has no papers
to show the agreement as they never
gave her anything to bind them for her
keeping. The daughter-in-law has cared-
for mother some and kept her at her
place for sometimes a. few months until
a year and a half ago. She sent mother
away and does not do anything for her.
The daughter-in-law has kept mother
about two years in all since“ she got the
property.—A. F., Tuscola County, Mich.

If the circumstances related could
be proven the Circuit Judge would
have the right to set aside the deed
or require the daughter-in-law to

MUST PAY COMIVIISSION

While I was here attending school I
listed my property with real estate men
on July 6 and on the 10th I sold my place
to other parties. The real estate ﬁrm say
they have done nothing but send my ad
vto a paper yet they say they must have
$50 to settle with me. Their contract
says they have, for $1 and other valuable
considerations. made this contract. They
did not pay me anything. Will you kindly
tell me if I will have to pay” them the"
$50.-——D. W. D.. Kingsley, Mich. »

Yes, I think you are both morally-
and legally obligated to pay the com-
mission. In signing the contract you. '
acknowledged receipt of $1 and oth-
er _cousiderations, and it is imma-
terial whether you actually received
it._' _You agreed to pay them a com-
miss1on if you sold the place your-
self, and you’ll have to abide by
your agreement.——Editor.__ ’ '

These companies operate under the

We would suggest that you ask for

which will no doubt furnish you the
information you are seeking. Both
of these companies no: doubt have
members in your immediate locality.
Ask them of their experience.

It would seem decidedly unjust
to. assess a building under process
of construction as completed. It
would seem that a fair assessor
would assess the property based up-
on its value the date as of making
the assessment. It would be just as
reasonable to assess a suckling colt
as a full grOWn matured horse. Did
you ever hear of assessing a ﬁeld
of oats as threshed grain when the
crop was only well out of the ground.

The only fair basis of valuation
would be to determine the'value of
' the lumber on the ground and erect-

ed, together with the hardware and
paints, foundation and labor costs
to the date the assessment was tak-
en. Unless your property is assessed
on this basis. it is your duty to ap—
pear before ‘the Board of review of
your assessing district and inform
them of the injustice, and they will

FARMERS MUST CUT OBNOXIOUS

. WEEDS

Is there a. state law that compels farm-
ers to out such we'eds as milk weeds,
Canada thistle and burdock? I was talk-
ing with one of my neighors and he said
if a man had money to ﬁght it through,
that the law couldn’t make him out his
weeds. That is what the prosecuting at-
torney told him and,~he says like the weed
commissioner should miss some weeds
where he was cutting'on the man’s prop-
perty, he could make it hard for him. As
I am weed commissioner of one half of
this township would like to know the
laws. They say in the next township
they are not compelled to cut their weeds.
I think there should be a law that money
couldn’t stop it. for I believe it is 3. ben-
efit to every farmer to see that he gets
weeds cut—A. J., Boyne City, Mich.

According to Act No. 66, P. A.
1919, every property owner must cut
his weeds. If he does not do so the
highway commissioner is required to
have them cut and charge the ex-
pense to the property owner. The
more important sections of the act
are as follows:

“It shall be the duty of every
ow‘ner, pessessor or occupier of land

  

or corporation having charge of any

Grain Growers Reorganize

HE announcement that the .U.dS'._ Grain

Grows Inc., have reorganize 18 a pa-
thetic admislghn of its failure. It reports total
liabilities of $394,582.75, assets of $109,§15.48,
leaving a net deﬁcit of $285,267.27. y It is now
in order for some emissary of the grain trade
to mount the "house—tops and howl, “we 
you so; farmers can’t market their own gram.

What was the-trouble! Well, ‘.m the ﬁrst
tlace, the men who essayed to build the big-
gest marketing organization in the world were
novices at the game. They knew a few rules of
business, but not enough. And the ones they
didn’t know were exactly the ones they should
have known. They started down the wrong
road and kept a—going down the wrong road
and paid no attention to the yells of their
friends to warn them of the dangers ahead.
“We’ll show ’em we’re hep to this marketing
game,” they said, “it’s assimple as A B C.”
‘ But they changed their minds when a detour
led them straight into the mire! .

In the second place, they knew but they ldld
not practice that good old busmess principle
of economy. They had a lot of money to spend
and they proceeded to spend it. They set up
elaborate oﬂices, hired expensive legal talent,
paid their department heads generous salaries.
In a few months their funds were gone and
they had accomplished virtually nothing..l\l‘ow
they are “broke’_’ and a quarter of a million
0 dollars in the hole. _ D
In the third place, they met the united op-
" position, of the grain trade, the force of which
they failed to appreciate. Thousands of dollars
were spent by the grain men to discredit the
U. S. G. G., and they were not spent in vain.
In every independent grain elevator in the
country posters were stuck admonishmg farm-
ers to beware of the U. S. G. G. grain contract.
Thus was the. seed of suspicion sown and farm-
ers who had formerly looked upon the organi-
zation with favor,'turned against it.

Was the experience worth what it cost ‘l‘ We
think it was. Our own faith in the principles
of co-operative dealing have not been shaken
in the least by the cooperative disasters of
the past year. We are sorry to see 
lose their. money in enterprises of this kind
but where they haVe lost pennies in co—opera-
tive failures they have lost dollars in. worthless
investments of other kinds. Every business or-
ganization has had to pass through the ﬁre of

Curb the Commission Crook

STATE Commissioner ‘ of “Agriculture J 01111
A. Doelle has under advisement a com-
mission licensing bill which would. put an eﬁec—

 

 

the check upon the‘dishonest’commission ﬁrm.

The present state law, of which Sen. H. F.
Baker was the author, is an excellent law so
far as it goes and suﬂiced well enough‘for ac
time. But it still leaves a loop-hole for those
who are dowmight dishonest and are clever
enough to see it. The present law - provides
that all commission ﬁrms shall be licensed, de-
pending upon the good behavior of .the licensee.

On submission of evidence showing that any
commission house has sold produce without ro-
mitting the proceeds to the rightful owner, the
state may take away the ﬁrm’s license and
forever bar them from the commission game.
This provision is well enough for those who
intend to remain long in the business but it
does not touch the “ﬂy-by-nighter” who is
here today and gone tomorrow. ' .

Many such feIIOWs have gone into the com-
mission business in Detroit, circulated ﬂatter-
ing quotations, accepted and sold the farmers?
produce and promptly put the entire proceeds
in their pockets. Before the wheels of justice
could be gotten in" motion they have closed
'shOp and skipped the country. '

The key—note of Commissioner Doelle’s, pro-
posed‘measure is a bond in the sum of $3,000
which every man applying for a license to do
a commission business would be required to
ﬁle before his application would be granted.

This bond would remain in the hands of the
state so long as the giver stayed in the busi-
ness, and would constitute a perpetual indem-
nity for those who might ship their produce
to the licensee. If the giver of the bond sold
goods for which he failed to remit, the owner
would appeal to the State Department of Ag-
riculture and be reimbursed for his loss from
the proceeds of the licensee’s bond.

The idea is not exactly new, being a pattern
of the Market law of New York and other
states. It has been tried andfound to provide
the desired protection. Let it be tried in
Michigan. . l .

 

Potatoes

ONCE more the fatal cycle moves ’round
and we are confronted again with the
prospect of an over-production of potatoes.
Present estimates are for a production one-
fourth larger than last year, .which simply
means one-fourth more potatoes than the coun-,
try can consume. ‘And that means glutted
arkets and no prices.

It is well enough to call to mind the old pro-
verbs about an ounce of prevention being
worth a pound of cure, and kicking the barn
after the horse is stolen, but that doesn’t help
the situaton any. We know well enough that
such a huge acreage should never have been
planted, andlthe fact that it was planted is an
evidence that agriculture is still in the feeble-
mlnded stage, but the potatoes are in the
ground and growinglike weeds—worse luck-—

Hands Up! 
NOTHER “steal”vis reported as having
been discovered in the pending tarilf bill.
In the interests of the gigantic snielting cor-
porations congress has provided for a 2 cent a
pound tariff on white arsenic Which is the basis
of all effective insecticides and sheep and cat
tle dip. And despite the fact thntthe United
States annually consumes
than she produces.
“Not a fruit grower or pota’wgrorwer, not s
single raiser of vegetables or cotton from

 

Maine to California but needs  a

and in fact is dependent upon them for saving
a high percentage of his crop.” The Michigan
potato grower will suﬂer' as greatly as the
California fruit grower if the foreign supply
is shut out by an excemive tariff The cost of
Paris green is high enough now without ad-
ding to it by a tariﬂ
corporations.

When the whole truth about the new tariﬂ " ’

bill has been unmasked we are quite likely to
ﬁnd that it is one of the biggest frauds ever
perpetrated upon the consumer for the bene-
ﬁt of special interests. No wonder Pres. Hard-
ing’s conscience has been smitten and he re-
fuses to accept the monstrosity unless accom-
panied by authority to name a tariff emis-
sion. Like the resolution seating Sen. New-
bcrry the tariif bill must have some redeem-

:ng feature to remove the curse.

“WHAT IS A SAFE INVESTMENT?

.‘What is the limit of return on an in-
vestment, without sacriﬁce of safety?’ is
a question we are askd continually,” B.
F. Hudson. the president of the Standard
Mortgage &,Investment Company of De-
troit says. -

“The-logical way to consider this ques-
tion is to first determine what is a safe
investment: then look the ﬁeld over, and
see what is the highest return we can get
in‘the approved type.

‘United States Bonds are considered
ﬁrst in safety; but because of the high
credit of this government, the return is
relagively low.

“ as, municipal and count bonds,
where the'bonded‘ indebtedness lsylow. are
well consuiered. The rate ,of return is
slightly higher than on U. 8. bonds.

The third kind of preferred investment
is that which is based on real estate.
where the money loaned is well below the
market value of the property.

There are two methods of loaning
money on real estate—4n mortgage and‘
on contract.’ The former has long been
popular with the individual capital-
ist: but with the growing tendency to-
ward concentrating this important ﬁnan-

tions. the land contract has.
cases. proved safer
than‘the mortgage."

A WORD ABOUT OUR PATTERNS
I Often an. order comes in for.“ pat-
terns asking that they be sent by
returnyinail. This is not possible, for
the patterns are all sent out from
the place..Where they are made and
the company s‘BHS‘only thru the newsf

papers. This may entail a little de-, ‘

lay, but whenyou realizethiiti; yeti
save from 20c to 30¢ on a‘ pattern:-
I know you will feel that yOu‘ are
willing to wait a few days. 'You
should have your pattern in about
one week from the time you order
it. If it does not come promptly
just send me a card and state the
DATE of your order and I will see
that your pattern is received. Delay
is sometimes occasioned by an ad—
dress not plainly written or by ne-
glect to state size required. There
are no better patterns 501d. V

 

GOITRE CURE

There have been several requests
for the goitre cure published in our
paper of March 18. Rather than mail
out copies of that date I will re-
print the article.

We are known to be in the goitre
belt in this part of Michigan. It is
found to be prevalent where there
is not much if'any iodine in the
drinking water but this may be sup-
plied if one will by adding two or
three drops to a glass of water and
drinking it. No harm could result
if it were done once every day. This
is simply a preventive for goitre in

its first stages. Use ﬁve I drops tof;  it"

iodine in a half a glass of water
three 0r four times a' day.
"‘I saw Mrs. J. W. of Illinois res

- quest for a goitre cure. Take,1,cu'p

of kerosene, 3 cakes of camphor

' gum, put in a pint can with rubber

on. ' When all the camphor gum

that will dissolve has, rub lightly on ‘

goitre three times a day: do not put
any cloth around neck or the kero-
sene will blister. My sister had a

, very large goitre and she commenced

using it Dec. 3, 191,8,and used it
faithfully, often rubbing on five or
six times a day, and before the year
was up her goitre was-gone. If she
thinks it is growing she uses‘it as
directed for a month. A specialist
on goitres gave it to er. She was
doctoring with him fo‘ her heart;
goitre had affected it.——R. E. B., Ill."

Of course the very best course is
to consult a. specialist as there are
two forms of goitre, each requiring
very different treatment. One is
caused by over stimulation of the
thyroid gland, the other by under
stimulation.

come in black, white, tan and‘grey.
If you are lucky enough to have laid
away a pair you can now wear them
with comfort and satisfaction.

One sees very few well-dressed
women on the street in skirt and
shirt waist this summer. The light
coat often sleeveless as pictured
some weeks ago or the much loved
sweater is generally worn over thin
waist and this arrangement really
makes a proper street costume.

The one-piece dress is good and
more popular than ever and it pro-
mises to be very plain‘ in design.
Loose-ﬁtting and rather long waist-
ed. The hem may be straight or un-
even as suits the individual.

' , Tum Assign. .scnoonn CLUB
'Abber school was in a state of
eat excitement. The new teacher.
' Miss Vane]. had just suggested a
new idea to the school children. They
had been .delighted'with the plan and. as
they were naturally a hustling bunch
of youngsters. they were-anxious tocarry
out the scheme. . ’ —

But I have not told you of this won-
derful idea, It was, indeed. extremely
new and strange.

As it was just the beginning of the
school year ther'children were fresh and
studious. They had long been wanting
to organize a club in their school. They

« ‘wanted to raise vegetables. and other
farm products but their parents dissap-
proved of the idea and, refused to give
them a piece of land to try on. They
had been very disappointed and when

 Miss Vanel came them told her all their
troubles. The teacher was very sympa—
thetic and immediately began to work
out a plan to help them out. She, herself,
was interested in club work so she soon
devised a plan. K

About a week later, the morning on
which this story opens. she told-them her
p an '

When school was called in the morning
she said that instead of the usual mom-
ing exercises, she wanted to talk with
the children.

Then she began, "How many children
are willing to work hard this winter

and have a garden all their own next
spring ”

Every little hand went up enthusias-
tically. ‘
“That's ﬁne!” said Miss Vane] with a

pleased smile. “Now, I shall tell you my
plan. There are thirty children here. all
strong and healthy. Now. I have asked
Mr. Bakel who owns this land next to
the school ground how much he will
charge us for renting a couple of acres
next to the school ground. He says
he will rent it for one year for $25. The
land isn’t very good but I think we can
ﬁx it up by fertilizing and cultivating it.
Now we will all work hard from now
until next spring and we will make
enough money. to rent this land. We
can have socials, make things to, sell,
and do many things to make money. We
will also have to get money for seed so
we must hustle right now. Do you think
you can earn 33 or $35 this winter?”
Every one was certain they could be-
cause winter was a long season. ‘
en the parents heard of the plan
some disapproved but most of them ad-
mired the children’s pluck' and courage
and were willing to lend many tools. to
prepare the ground with. The older boys
were going to work the grbund.
’V During the winter the school made 310
-- and .in the spring they were all ready to
Qwerk. Each child had a liberal portion
of‘land and a prize was offered for the
best garden raised. Everything went ﬁne.
People going by would admire the chil-
dren‘s work and Would say their garden
was the best around there. Every noon
and recess saw a troop of children at
work in their garden. Miss Vanel was
very proud of her industious workers.
But one day one of the little boys was
taken sick. He was sick a week but‘
his garden didn’t get full of weeds. No,
the rest of the children, with a true
spirit of good will, worked in his garden
and kept it as clean as their own. The
little boy was very grateful to them and
worked very hard after that.
That fall the Abber school gave a club
exhibit. The parents all came to the
school house and were much pleased
with their children’s work and were no
longer opposed to clubs. At the exhibit
:the prize for the best garden was given
and the little boy who Was sick won it.
He had worked so very hard that he had
the best garden. The prize was a set
which contained a hoe. rake and spade.
He. also got a package of watermelon
seed from his parents. 4
 The school sent some of their products
‘to the county fair- and won first prize.
After that they sold their products for
:5100, thereby gaining $60. The money was
given for school purposes. This encour—
aged them greatly and they wanted to
try again next year. Mr. Bakel was will-
ing- to rent the land again for $15 be-
cause the children had taken such good
care of it that it improved the land very
muc . .-
-The little boy who won the prize said,
“t was the happiest year of my school
life, even tho‘ I~~did have to work at my
garden during vacation"

are now planning on‘ raising anoth r

THE WONDERS OF A RESCUE

"Oh, that Nellie Howard. ll. makes me

tired the way people speak of her,” said
Marian Campbell. "They are always say—
ing she is so kind. Perhaps she is, but
I certainly wouldn’t want, to be seen
visiting those pauper children,” as she
tossed her head in a proud manner and
took her friend Hattie Murray by the arm
and walked :out of the room.

,"You are right, Marion. I 'jut hate
Nellie," said Hattie. This and many other
things they said as they walked‘down to
the seashore. .

Marion' Campbell was the daughter of
Dr. Campbell and she thought herself
far above most other girls. She was very

THE BOYS’ POTATOES

Mr. and Mrs. Tompson and their fam-
ily lived in the city. They ha({ tWO
boys, Theodore and Ray.

Mr. Tompson was a cashier in_ the
county bank there, and he was receivmg
a fairly large income. '

Theodore, the oldest son, who was SlX‘
teen, was a junior in the Central high
school. He was tall. but very muscular.
His hair was light brown, he combed it
long pompadore. His eyes were of a deep
blue, which at times were very sparkling.
He had high arched eyebrows; together
with his smoot features gave him a very
manly appearance.

His usual pastime was reading papers
and magazines, especially those contain-
ing farm articles, which would always be
of great interest to him, as he was very
fond of farm life.

Ray was different from his brother.
But he also was a good scholar. He
being but fourteen, did not have much
thought for himself, but more for a
good time, His health was very poor.
caused from living in the city, and not
having the advantages of the country
boys and girls.

For this reason and on account of
Theodore's desire for farming Mr. Tomp-
son decided to purchase a farm a few
miles from town and take his family
there. He thought, too, that he could
make more for himself on a farm than
in town. «besides being independent of
others.

It was in March
Tompson with the
their new home.

The farm consisted of eighty acres,
part of which had not yet been cleared.
The soil was Very fertile. Thru one
corner of the pasture was a little stream.
which contained some of the ﬁnest ﬁsh
anywhere near there.
‘Altogether it was a perfect paradise’ to
every one, they especially. _

After the family got settled in their
new home. and the winter began to make
room for a cheerful spring, Mr. Tompson
began. to plan out his summer’s work.
He told the boys that he believed that
in order to make a success of his farm-
ing he would-have to subscribe for the
M. which he was positive would

be of great value to him. He told his

This ‘shOuld be a. rector, in detaining 

the size of the structure. ' to: it
should be large enough .tohousc the
greatest crop you will probably raise
during the coming ten or twenty
years. Convenient. arrangement and
modern equipment in the stable will

enable you to care for more stock -

and will also conserve the soil on-
riching properties of the manure.
and this improvement in the quan-
tity. and quality 0! mm should
swell crop yields. ‘ "
Furriers often write to us stating
that they intend to build. a barn at

certain dimensions and also or a
stable plan to . suit. The c set
method is to determine how any

stalls and compartments you will

probably need, consider the mge- ‘

ments that suits you best, provide
for the necessary alleys and pas-

sages, and then enclose the entiren’

layout with walls of the required
dimensions. You will then. have a
stable proportioned according “ to
your needs. . -

A barn of a certain size and ar-
rangement may ﬁt in perfectly with
the methods, and needs of the owner
but the vast majority of his neigh-
bors who copy the design in all its
details ﬁnd in many respects it does
not quite suit them. Each barn is
a separate problem. The farmer who
is thinking of erecting a barn should
consult an experienced barn archi-
tect, for neither he nor the average
carpenter is competent to design a
barn particularly adapted to his
needs. The efﬁciency gained by con-
sulting a barn expert will repay
many times the fee charged. The
barn is a farm necessity, used every
day in the year, and a building at-
fording comfort, convenience, econo-
my and eﬁeciency is to the owner
and user “ a joy forever."

Recently a farmer submitted to us

a rough sketch of a barn, asking our
advice. We redesigned it for him
at a. saving of $500 in the cost of
construction—enough "to pay for
steel stalls, stanchions, litter carri-
ers, etc. Suggestions on barn build-
ing, we believe, will be more timely
than the discussion ol'some particul-
ar barn design. "

Location—If possible, build the
barn on a gentle southeastern slope,
with the long way of the structure
extending north and south. The
early morning sun streaming through
the east WindOWS will cheer the en-
tire stable. In the late afternoon
a similar effect will be secured from
the west, just when 11 t is most
desired. There should ' , o be some
windows in the south end. Then
all day long sunshine'will be stream-
ing into the barn from some angle.
Sunlight banishes disease. It .13
cheaply and easily obtained. A barn
placed in this way will also shelter
the east yard from the west winds.
A wind-proof fence across the north
end of the yard will complete the
protection.

Foundatioan gravel or other
well drained land the foundation
may safely be laid after merely re-
moving the sod and roots. In clay.
and other damp soils it will be neces-
sary to excavate to a depth below
the frost line. Make the founda-
tion trenches about 24 inches wide
and ﬁll them with field stone and
concrete. A mixture 01 one part cov
ment and ﬁve parts of clean sand and
gravel will sufﬁce for the concrete,
providing it is thoroughly mixed and
an abundance of water used. Care
must be taken to tamp concrete
well in betvreen all the large stones
so that no voids remain. A tile
drain should be aid all around the
building. Place gravel in the ditch
over the. tile to facilitate percolat-
ing ,9! the surtace water.

Allow at least nine square inches at f

and ﬁfteen square inches at the
mouth of the outlet; thus an int»

of which should be 108 square
inches) is the mininmm ..;sizc re—
quired to supply ventilation for 12
cows, while an outlet 10x18 inches
would be necessary. It will be
Iound advisable to have several
small and well distributed intakes
instead of one, and at least two out—
let lines with two months for each
line. The outlet is in reality a. line
and the ordinary precautions exer—
cised in the construction of a chim—
ney must be observed, except, 0:.
course, that it need not be built at
brick. It must, however. be as near-
ly straight as possible and its walls
must be sir tight so that it will
“draw” well.

It the/ﬂue is constructed of wood
it should be made of two thickness ‘
of closely matched lumber with
heavy building paper between the
layers. It galvanised Iron pipes are
used, heavy insulation should be
placed between the outer and inner ‘-

' COST OF TIIJNG

Can you give me omc idea of the cost
of tiling 160 acres of muck land. Have
direct outlet into dredge ditch. The muck

 

is not deep, eighty acres spotted with clay -

and sandy locum—H. A. 8., Capac, Mich.
, There are a number of local fac-
tors that might inﬂuence the cost
with which I may. not be familiar.

Ordinarily, muck land which is
underlaid with clay will require prac-
tically the same sort of drainage as
clay land because after the muck
has been drained it will settle and
Work into the clay so that there will
be practically no muck left after a
fewyears of cultivation. I would
suggest that this be drained about
4, rods apart. It, however, you have
2 feet of much it might be drained
5 rods apart. The :ptile should be
laid at least 8 test deep and better
3 1-2 feet if you have two feet of
muck because the muck will settle
at least a. font leaving your tile only
2 1-2 feet underground. I am assum-
ing that the me in this case will be
laid in the eh! subsoil. If the tile
 4 rodsnpart it will take

‘ ximately coo the per acre.

If soft clay tile are used, they will
probably cost delivered at your sta-
tion about 885 per thousand. Glued
tile would cost mm .45 per
thousand. This would mean that it
will. cost for tile, $21 to $27 per
acre. The digging should be done
for around 50¢ a rod, which will
' cost $20 per acre where the tile are
" spaced 4 rods apart. I am assuming
in making these calculations that
you ' wish this farm thoroughly
drained so that it will be suitable
for nearly all kinds of crops, espe-
cially cultivated crops. If the muck
land is merely intended for hay it
might be possible to get satlstactory
draininge by spacing the tile drains
‘10 rods apart. .The upland will cost
practically the me as the lowland
when tiled erode apart. The drains
on high ground, however, should not
be put inmore than 2 1-2 feet deep.

LARRO RESEARCH FARM, Box A North End:

 
   

   

‘ .- - smoni‘~-u
VER ninety per cent of all our

com. Indian corn. is king of
the silage plants; this fact, howeVer,
does not mean that corn is the only
plant valuable ‘for silage. We are
discovering every year that, good
silage can be made from many dif-
ferent kinds of forages.

popularity as a silage crop. Espe-
cially is this true in the south and
west sections of the ,country. As
sorghum can be grown with less
moisture than Indian corn, it is
favored in many sections where rain-
fall is light and hot seasons severe;
and what is said of sorghum can al-
so be said of all the plants relating
to it such Jae-mile maize, fateria,
sedan grass, kaﬂlr corn and napier
grass. .The‘se‘ sorghum7llke plants
all make rapid growth, and produce
a iarge,__yolume ofexcellent forage
which when put into‘ the -‘ silo will
come out as good silage.’ " '

such as alfalfa, clover. soy beans,
cowpeas and vetches have been suc-
cessfully siloed, tho’ it should be un-
derstood that if possible to make
hay of such plants it is better to do
so. The lack of sugar‘in the legu-
minous plants is one of the weak
points in their perfect preservation.
Rainy seasons often prevent the
making of good hay from the ﬁrst
cuttings of clover or alfalfa, in which
case it can be successfully sliced
and turned into a good feed. For
many years beet pulp and cannery
refuse has been siloed in stack, pit
or building, and such silage, as a
rule, is of good quality and! its feed-
ing vaue is well known. Beet tops
have also. been used as silage, and
when free frdm dirt will, as a rule,
produce excellent feed. Cane tops
and sorghum baggage ,make good
silage,,and in places where this ma-
terial is a by—product they certainly
should be preserved.

Sunﬂowers have recently become
very popular for silage in many sec-
tions of the north and west. There
are large areas in this country
where corn is not a sure crop owing
to the short growing season and to
frosts which come early in the fall.
In such sections the Russian sun-
ﬂower has proven.the best silage
plant. Sunﬂowers make a. rapid
growth and will stand_ considerable
drought and hard freezing. In many
latitudes they will yield twice as
much feed as Indian corn, while
their feeding 'vaiue is‘ nearly equal
to that of corn.

Iuis Valley. of .Colorado silos ﬁlled
with Mexican peas and the silage was
of excellent quality. Russian thistles,
and many of the weeds have also
been sliced and fed out successfully.
The common wild sunﬂower which
grows so plentifully in many of the
Plain states will make good silage,
and large quantities of it are used
annually. I have examined corn
ﬁelds where over ﬁfty per cent of
the forage was made up of wild
sunﬂower, pigeon grass, ragweed
and pigweeds, and I have examined
the silage made from such a crop
and found it to be excellent not
only in quality but also in feeding
value. This, of course, does not
mean that a. man should let his corn
ﬂeld run to weeds, but simply that
evenrif the ﬁeld is extremely weedy
it does not follow that his silage
is destroyed or x» even greatly im-
paired. We do not, yet know all
the plants that. can be made into
silage, and we wili- probably ﬁnd as
years go by many plants for this
use not yet commonly known—A.
L. Hacker.

There is really nothing unwhole—
some about the milk of a cow so ‘

to be fresh, but as far as feeding t.

to young children is concerned,
would‘ say the composition of this
milk differs greatly and it is very
likely that this difference in ‘composi--
tion‘ would upset the child’s diges-
tive system. We know that the milk
that the cow gives shortly after
freshening, for the ﬁrst few days,
varies greatly in its composition as.
compared with normal milk and it

also tastes different at that time.“ '

This is caused by the phyical ,con- ,  '

diltion of the cow at that time and
the difference in ‘ composition "is
brought about by the plan of nature
to furnish the kind of milk the young:
calf needs when it is ﬁrst born.—'

WOULD LIKE START IN HOL-
STEIN CATTLE

I am a young farmer and would like-
to get a start in registered Holstein
Catte. I haven’t the money to buy a
start. I have heard that there are breed-
ers in the state that will let their cattle-
out on shares. I own a. farm and can
give reliable references. I also have has!
16 weeks of school at M. A. C. If you
could send me the names of men who
would let their cattle out like this, or any
other information along that line. I would'
be much obligedJ—H. R, Tustin. Mich.

There have been in the past at,

number of breeders who have
far-med out cattle under contract,
and I believe that such a plan would
be a very good one for you. A short
time ago Mr. Freeman J. Fishbeck,

of Howell, and Mr. E. w. ,McNitt, V

R. F. D. No. 9, Grand Rapids, were
both working on this basis and had
a. number of cattle out in different
sections of the state. Whether they
are still doing this I am unable to
say. Mr. Alexander W. Copland, R.
F. D. No. 3, Birmingham, Mic'h., ad-.
vised me a short time ago that he-
wouid be willing to put out a part
of his herd in this way, and I would
suggest that you write to each of
these men—Michigansr

HORSE HAS AZOTURIA

I have a four-year-old horse which ha!
done a lot of hard work this spring. He
has been in good condition, all spring.
After my work was done I turned him
out in pasture and d not harness him
for about ten days an I started for town
with him and he got lame. I did not go
only two miles and I unhitched him and
the muscles on the front legs 'were swol-

From the selling side of such a count-

you sell your butter and eggs In

ﬁventy-ﬁve cents for eggs when
mothers in cities are clamoring for

hotels and hospitals, boarding schools

are willing to pay top price for fresh
country produce. Why be longer

producer and middleman?

in the mail order business. One day
he took a day off and spent it in
Detroit. He call on the chef of
the troll: Athl ‘0 Club. The poor
fellow fell on John's neck and wept.

.Fresh eggs! Impossible. But John

cenvinced the chef all eggs are fresh -

at ﬁrst and the chef decided to have
fresh eggs all the time.

Now. Mr. Danforth ships a crate
of ten dozen eggs every other day.
Right now he is getting forty cents,
and the local market reads twenty-
two. Get the difference? The Club
pays the freight on the eggs and pre-
pays the empty crates back at the
end of the week. All because .they
like John’s fresh eggs and because
John likes the forty cents. r

results of an Ontario experiment.
Twenty-ﬁve hens receiving butter-
milk in their ration made $11 proﬁt
in 8 months;"a similar, ﬂock fed beef
receiving no meat, or milk’was kept

at amines of 33.

If you feed beef scrap, get good
quality, testing 60 or 65 per cent
protein. Be careful not to feed too
much. ~ ,

A part of the protein given to
the hens in the winter must'be ani-

mal food. They need a substitute
for the worms, bugs and insects
which they relish so much whenlon
free range in the summer.

Buttermilk or beef scrap is a good
substitute. All farmers know how
hens start to lay after they butcher.
This~is because the bones and offal
are thrown to them. They get the
meat .food necessary for egg pro-
duction.

The Ontario experiment lasted 8
months, starting the ﬁrst of Sep-
tember and ending the ﬁrst of May.
Seventy-dive hens were used. They
’Were divided into three pens, 25 in
each pen.

Hens in pen No. 1 were fed but—
termilk; those in pen No. 3, beef
scrap, while those in pen No. 2 had
no milk or meat food.

Pen No. 1 produced 1,762 eggs
.and pen No. 3 produced 1,625 eggs.
Pen No. 2, the pen having no milk
or meat food, produced only 7?”
eggs, not quite half
either of the others.

The buttermilk pen made a pro-
ﬁt of $11, and the beef scrap pen
a proﬁt of $10. But there was a loss
of $3 onthe pen receiving no milk
or‘beef scrap.

Of Course it costs more to keep
the buttermilk and beef scrap pens
but it is the (proﬁt rather than the
cost that counts, If by using the
buttermilk-or skim milk you have
on the farm, or by. spending a little
money for commercial beef scrap
you 'can keep your hens at a proﬁt
rather than at a. loss, isn’t it good
business policy to furnish the butter-
milk. or beef scrap?

A Similar experiment conducted
in Indiana shows practically the
same results. Skim milk was used.
instead of buttermilk. The skim
milk pen produced 133 eggs per hen
annually, and the beef scrap pen

or meat food produced only 36 eggs
per hen. .The skim milk and beef
scrap pens made a proﬁt of about $1
a hen per year, while those having
no 'meat food were kept at loss of
4 cents per hen. I

Be advised that the Rhode Island
Red chicks come in various shades
of colors. from almost 9. buff to a
distinct red. Sometimes tile chicks
that are very light when hatched
develop into deep colored specimens;
however, the majority of chicks are
rich and deep in color when hatched.
The ﬁrst'chick feathers that ap-
pear do not always. indicate the
ﬁnely colored pattern of the adult.
Sometimes the feathers, Wing feath-
ers especially, will contain consid-

 

 

erable black and white in addition

to the red," but this disappears when
the adult feathers grow in.

When the bird is matured, the
plumage calls for a deep cherry red
In all sections but in the wings and
tail. The tail carries considerable-
black and the wings carry approxi-
mately half black and half red. The
lower part of the primaries, and
the upper part of the secondaries
are black and the balance of the

feathers should be red so that when

the wing is folded, only the red color
is exposed. ‘ . . ‘ '

FAILURE WITH GosLINGs

We have just subscribed for the
Michigan Business Farmer. So I
thought I would write you for some
advice on how to raise goslings. I
have tried it for three years and
have had a- failure every year. I had
19 goslings last year and only raised.
one. And I had 19 this spring and-
have lost them all but seven so far.
I have turned themdoose every year
and thought that perhaps they were
running themselves to death, so I
put them in a yard this year 43 feet
square and picked grass and °cut it
all up ﬁne for them, and fed them .
dry oatmeal besides. I had a trmIgh
for them to swim in but people told
me that they must not sit in the wat-
ter all day, so I got a drinking foun-
tain for them but nothing seems to
help. ' "

They seem to be nice strong gos-
lings when they are hatched, and
seem to be all right till they get to
be about four or ﬁve‘ weeks old, then
they start to die off 2 and 3 at a
time, they seem to get weak in the.
legs and can’t walk, and they have
a diarrhoea, they dont seem to grow
as fast as they ought to either while
they are growing. Will the readers
please write and tell me what to do
to raise th'em.-—JM rs. R. C. B., Sag-

' of the Collection Box ' Editor.
But once in a while ‘he has to

admit failure. Take that case, for‘

instance, 'of M. C. A., of Twining,
the ,“Am'erican Literary
Ass‘n,” of Kansas City. This asso-

' ciation induced Mr. A. to part with

$1 “initiation” fee before they would
agree to examine a short story he
had written and was desirous of
putting on the market. Having sent
both the dollar and the manuscript
he awaited results. They didn’t
come. He wrote the ﬁrm... His letter
came back marked “no ﬁrm of this
name known." He appealed to the
Collection Box.‘ But after having
our letter to the firm meet the same
fate as his and learning direct from

I the Kansas City postmaster that the

ﬁrm had actually “ﬂew the coop”
leaving no tail feathers to mark the
trail, we closed the ﬁles on the case,
regretting, of course, that Mr. A. is
to lose his dollar and his manuscript,
both of which have probably caused
him many hours of labor.

Beware of the glib circular letter
that promises to ﬁnd a market for

TO SPRAY PLUM TREES
N your issue of May 27 you tell
the disease to plums but don't
tell what to do—except to spray.
Good—but with what? I had it in
my grove and sprayed with Bor-
deaux. Dried up the bladders and
saved the plums, and never had more

of it. That'is only the experience of
one fellow. May be it won’t work
for others. If you try it, do the job

yourself and do it thoroughly—4 to
6-times at least. Don't give the trees
just one shot, and because it don’t
work for you, say it’s no good. But
gonfor ’em and go frequently—all
season through, Remember the
Bible says: “If you try anything—-
try it~fu11y before you condemn.”
Now you plum fellows—-—cut -this
out—make a copy for every plum
tree and paste on every tree—so

obvious. Keep bees. There is no
prospect of any new tangled method
to take the place of bees.

NOTES AND COMMENTS
WIG-BLIGHT on apple trees has
been the cause of considerable.
injury in recent years; Cut
back six inches or a foot beyond the
affected part, then sterilizethe knife
before using again. -A weak solu-
tion of lime-sulphur or copper sul-
phate will do. Either of these is
strong enough to kill germs when
only a small quantity is used in
water. The former is strong enough
at 1.35, the latter at-_the rate of a
pound to 50 gallons of water. ‘An
ounce would be enough to Sterilize
the knife and saws for a small army
of pruners. It is also well to brush

the wound on the branch with the ,

liquid.

 

If an orchard is to planted next
year and the ground is in sod it
should be plowed this summer or
early fall. Especially is this true
of an old or heavy sod. The sooner
it is turned under the better. A new-
ly plowed sod is a poor place for
an orchard, yet just" such ground is
often used. No wonder there is
such a less of trees the ﬁrst year.
Then the n rseryman is blamed for
sending ou worthless stock. The
poor fellow is guilty of enough at
best, he should not be blamed for
the shortcomings of others.

 

There is usually a demand for
green apples, even though berries
are plentiful nothing quite takes
the place of apple pie, even though
the “makings” are not half-grown.
Then is the time the enterprising
. orchardist markets his surplus, thus
getting enough to pay for the cost
of thinning the ,fruit. When there
are clusters of three, four or more
apples reduce the number to a pair.
The beneﬁt does not stop with the
present. Buds for next year’s blos—
soms are formed in mid—summer.
Thinning fruit aids in this. A half—
grown apple re oved may result in
one, perhaps t o, for next year.

In thinning apples there is danger
of pulling off too many in trying
to remove one. A pair of grape

shears for clipping the stems Will'

be found useful. A little practice
will enable an operator to use the
shears rapidly. Some men are good
at the work, but women are better
trained in the use of such instru-
ments, girls are usually handy with
tililem, boys mostly worth the least of
a . ’ '

Many unkind things have been
said about the Gideon apple, so

much so that it may be considered
as a rival of the Ben Davis in un-
popularity. ‘To be sure it is’a poor
keeper and} is of not much account
as a dessert fruit" But it has sev-
eral points in its favor. The tree
is hardy and a wonderfully vigorous
grower. It bears early, 'often and
much. By the last of July the crop
may be thinned by the removal of
the largest apples. Later the thin-
ning may be repeated and so on till
the fruit is all gone. As a green
< fruit the Gideon is hard to beat, and
some markets seem never to get
enough. Growers have found it

proﬁtable for this purpose. Some say

fitable tree in the orChard,

v ,» ENERAL business conditions
 which looked so promising a
» .few weeks ago have taken a de-
~5Lcided turn for the worse, and unless
the strikes .are settled shortly we
, may look for an extended period of
' unemployment and depression. The
- coal strike which. should have "been
and could have been settled months
ago by proper governmentalaction,
is still paralyzing the production of
"coal and the entire country has at
last been aroused to the dangers of
' a probable shortage. Industries
which have been running full blast
are slowing up becauseof lack of
fuel and it is but a matter of a few
weeks at the outside before all manu-
Iwcturles depending upon coal for
their motive power will have to shut
down completely.
_ Fully as menacing to the nation’s
s well-being is the rail strike which
has reached such proportions .that
train service has been badly crip-
pled and hundreds of trains have
been taken off. We do not like to
he pessimistic, but present condi-
tions cannot continue much longer
. without costing everyone heavily in
. money and inconvenience. The ad-
‘, ministration has made a mess of
the Whole industrial situation, and
the people are suffering the conse-
quences. -

Prices of the things the farmers
buy are again tending upward while
the prices on all farm commodities
have a downward. trend. Apparently
the agricultural “deﬂation” has not
yet run its course. Those who swore
they Would have Wheat back to the
dollar mark by the ﬁrst of September
appear to be making good on their
threat. Wheat prices have tumbled
rapidly this last two weeks and
further price declines are in sight.
Other grains are in sympathy, and
the general tone of all farm commo-

» dities is weak and uncertain. It
may yet be necessary to adopt dras—

‘tic legislation to save agriculture
from disaster. Certainly prices can-
not go much lower without causing
farmers great ﬁnancial loss.

Crops in general are very good,
the July estimate showing a consid-
erable improvement over June in
many states. Several bumper crops
are in prospect. Under other cir—
cumstances we would welcome them,
but in view of Europe’s low buying
power, they are likely to prove a
curse instead of a blessing.

  

    
 

  

 

WIIEAT

We are frank to confess that we
don’t know What is the matter with
the wheat market. Mr. Foster, our
,;,i,;lweather forecaster, charges that the
grain gamblers have conspired to
Y'force grain prices down and lay the
cause at the door of the legislation
, ,which has been adopted and is pend-

ing to regulate and restrict the grain
exchanges. Foreign demand is fair,
,the strike situation would naturally
have a bullish effect, and everyone
' knows perfectly well that the rest
of the world is short on wheat. But

«despite these bull factors the price

keeps going down. It is now the
“ lowest in several .years,'and $1 wheat
_' on the Chicago market is in eight.
. The price decline has caused farm-

" are much uneasiness and frightened
1 many of them into sellingtheir grain.
‘Others have been obliged to sell to
Hmeet obligations. Few people be-
lieve, however, that wheat prices will
tremain long at their present level.
The general belief is that artiﬁcial ef-
forts to depress the price must soon
“give way to natural factors having
an upward inﬂuence. We do not
.believe farmers should sell at the
spresent level of prices.

business was fair the fore part of

POTATOES

There is nothing new to say about
this market. [All the dire predic—
tions that have been made as to the "
trend of the market are gradually
being fulﬁlled. The trend is down-
ward. Prices on early stock are the
lowest for some years and unless a
general holding movement is inaugu-
rated all over the country there is
bound to be a rush of spuds to the
market in early October which will
allrbut destroy, it. It seems as-if
there should be far~visioned -men in
the potato organizations who can
bring forward a plan to prevent or
at least defer the calamity of low
prices which, barring the unfore-
seen, is sure to-overtake the potato
farmer. _ A
