' _ ’. VERY year the Geological Sur-

vey 'Division of the Department

of" Conservation receives many
reports and samples of "oil." '
sam‘plesjar‘e generally wet sand or
bad smelling water, black or reddish
mud, and often oil from some dis—
carded. 'bottle of chilblain or dan~

1 quiring .public is not always judi—-

cious or- particular in its choice of
containers for samples, but those re-
taining pleasant (1’) odors are in
favor. Prince Albert and Lucky

. Strike/are competitors for ﬁrst place.

The odor of petroleum is pro-

nounced and distinctive, but the

smell‘from some of the bottles puts
it beyond the powers of the human
nose. ’
Seepages of oil and gas are the
most common signs in Michigan.
They are very numerous in the
southeastern and northern parts of
the. Southern Peninsula, where the
surface deposits are directly under-

 , lain by the oil and ’gas rocks. Seep-

ages are most common around
T'sp'rings and in water wells. Gas has
been'struck in a large number of
wells in the region northwest of
Detroit and around- Portage Lake,
county. Many of the
farmers in the vicinity of Royal Oak
and Warren, Oakland and Macomb
counties, have used the gas for
heating and lighting their homes.
The-iwells are generally small, but
some of them last several years.
Others last only a few days or
Recently a
Warren drilling for water, struck
gas, which caught ﬁre and burned
up his.home. So much gas was
'struck near Portage Lake that it
blew nearly 200 feet of drill rods

out of the well'and scattered them ‘

around in. the trees.
Large gas springs occur near Kil-

'master, Alcona county, and near At- ,

lanta, Montmorency county. It is
Atlanta gas spring,
when lighted, would burn indeﬁni-
tely if it were .not blown out by
heavy winds. '
These are belts of leakage rather
than accumulation. Several wells
have been drilled on the basis of
these seepages but without success.
The ,little oil found in Michigan_,was

, in regions where signs were few or

absent. Had the promoters known
the facts they would not have been
so enthusiastic in spending their
money. ' ' _

"Marsh gas,” commonly observed
in wet, swampy places, is often mis—
taken for seepages of rock gas. Marsh

gas, is formed from the decay of‘

plant material in the swamp, con—
sequently it is of no significance.
Often ﬁlms showing rainbow colors
occur around springs and in wet or
swampy places. Generally these
are due to ironoxide and not oil.
Most of the samples of water sent

The --

farmer near ‘

to the Survey contain a sediment
chieﬂy of iron oxideand dark or-
ganic matter—teil-tale of iron bear:
ing Water and a spring. Such waters
are abundant in many parts of the
state, especially in Jackson and Cal—
houn counties where there is much
iron carbonate in the surface de-
pOsits and the underlying rock beds.

A simple test is to stir the water.
If the ﬁlm breaks up and collects

in irregular patches Which do not
spread again after the water is
quiet, it is probably iron oxide. If
the ﬁlm streams around on the wat-
er and shows a play of rainbow
colors it‘ is oil. '

Many “wild-catters” of little ex-
perience lay great stress on another
so-called indication—the “lay of the

land." ‘ In some states this may be

of some importance, but nearly
everywhere in Michigan the “lay of
the land" is about as useful as the
stars for locating Oil pools. Some of

"the old time Pennsylvania wild-cat-

ters set great store on the “Forty—
ﬁve.” In Pennsylvania the folds, and
likewise the pools, extend in a north-
esat-southwest direction, or at an
angle of 45 degrees from a north-
south direction. When these pros—
pectors come into Michigan they
look for a valley ridge or stream
northeast and southwest. The fold—
ing in the two states is entirely dif-
ferent, consequently the “Forty—ﬁve"
is of no value in Michigan.

There is, however, one sign of im—
portance. That. is a fold or anti-
cline in the rock beds. Nearly every-
where the rocks are hurried by sur—
face deposits, therefore folds are
rarely seen in Michigan. They are
more often'found by comparing re-
cords of deep wells.

Most of the pools of oil and gas
in this country are connected with
folds of “structures” in the rock
beds. This fact makes the discov:
cry of a fold of great importance
to an intelligent and experienced oil
man. Given a “structure” and a pose
sible oil bearing bed, an oil man
considers he has sufﬁcient grounds
for a. wild-cat test. Numerous wild-
cat wells have been drilled for oil
in Michigan during the past two
years. The newspaper accounts of
these have contained more or less
meaningless jargon about “surface,
signs,” “lay of the land,” “struc-
tures/i and “anticlines.” Even some
of the. standard oil journals have'
been guilty of repeating some of
the nonsense.

In summary, one may say that
aside from rock structures, surface
signs in Michigan appear to be of
little or no importance so far as in-
dicating the presence or absence of
oil at a given pace. The Geological
Survey Division of the Department
of Conservation has a large amount
of information’concerning surface
indications, deep borings, and geolo-
gical formations, oil structures and
possibilities, in the state. Informa-
tion on any particular locality will

CLUB \VORK TAKES ROOT IN
UPP‘ER PENINSULA

UCCESS attended the Farmer ’
Round-up which was held at
Chatham the middle part of

August, under the auspices of the M.
A. C. experiment station at that
point. Particular interest was shown
in the boys’ and girls’ club camp
which had double the enrollment of
any previous camp, and the judging
contests between the boys and girls.
Upper peninsula folks feel that the
work which is being done among the
farm boys and girls means a great
deal to the future of the peninsula’s
agriculture.

Another feature of the round—up
was the huge blasting demonstration
when two acres of stumps were shot
simultaneously, Pres. Friday of the
M. A. C. turning on the switch that
did the business. A number of other
demonstrations, all under the super-
vision of M. A. C. department heads,
made the ocassion one of consider-
able instruction as well as entertain-
ment to the more than 2,000 people
in attendance.

The M. A. C. as well as Mr. D. L.
McMillan, who has charge of the up-
per peninsula station are to be com-
plimented on what they are doing for
the farmers of that region. Agri—
culture pursuits have been neglected
across the straits because farmers
have not had a true appreciation of
the value of the section as a pro—
ducer of crops. But the agricultural
authorities of the state are demon-
strating that the upper peninsula is
an extremely valuable field for ag-
ricultural exploitation and we may
some day look for itpto rank among
the richest farming sections of the
state.

GRADES FOR GRAPES PROMUL-
GATED IN MICHIGAN
TATE grades for grapes have
S been promulgated by the Mich-
igan Department of Agricul-
ture, Lansing, Mich, under date of
September 13, 1922. The rules and
regulations governing the packing,
branding, and sale of grapes Were es-
tablished in order to encourage the
improvement in the quality‘of grapes

sent to market. The grades are
known as “Table Grapes,” “No. 1
Grapes,” and “Unclassified.” Table

Grapes shall be packed in closed con—
tainers of 16 pounds or more capaci-
ty. They shall be mature and of one
variety. The individual bunches
shall be compact, free from immature
berries and from damaged fruit. A
tolerance of five per cent by weight
is allowed in this grade.

No. 1 grapes shall conform to the
standard for Table grapes, except for
an allowance for less compact bunch—
es, and shall be packed in closed con-
tainers of 15 pounds or more. capac-
ity. A tolerance, other than comlpact-

ness of bunches, of ten per cent by

‘ Unclassified grapes are those pack-
ed in closed containers of ‘16 pounds
or larger, which do not comply with
either of the foregoing grades and
which consist of vineyard run; mark-
etable fruit. This grade allows a tol-
erance of twenty per cent by weight.
All grades must be marked and the
containers must also show the name
and address of the person or firm
under whose authority the grapes are
packed, sold, or offered for sale.

Inspectors will be placed at five
important shipping points in the
State, who, under the direct super—
vision of the inspector of fruit of the
Sl;ate_l%1n‘eau of Foods and Stand-
ards, will carefully inspect all ship-
ments of grapes. Through this
service the growers hope to improve
the quality of their pack, and also to
educate the buyers in the various
markets that Michigan grapes can be
depended upon as to quality.

One association of Michigan
grape growers is conducting an ex-
tensive consumer advertising cam—
paign. Daily papers and posters are
being used to educate the public to
ask for its brand of grapes.

FARMERS’ CLUBS GET BUSY
HE Board of Directors of the
State Association of Farmers’
Clubs met at the Hotel Went-
worth, Lansing, Monday, September
11.

The object of this meeting was to
outline a program for the regular
annual meeting whim will be held
In Lansing the first week of Decem-
ber.

Various Farmers’ Clubs in the
state all co—operate closely with the
forces generally for better country
life. They meet regularly to study
and improve local and general con-
ditions in Agriculture.

The Directors note that many clubs
still have not federated‘with the
State Association. Organization is
power.

They pro-pose a policy for the clubs
next year that should enlist every
progressixe club in the state.

The key to country life now rests
in organization and education. The
farmer is just the sort of collective
being that conditions of late have
make agriculture prosperous. A
best mind of our day.

The Clubs’ great opportunity is
an educational campaign for the bet-
ter things of country life—better
business, better homes, and better
communities. The farmer alone can
make Agriculture prosperous. A
fair share of the consumer’s dollar
is the first essential. With eﬂicient
production and other rural condi-
tions to match, agriculture becomes
the best business on earth. ‘

In general this is the type of pro-
gram outlined for the next year. In
it they have the co-operation of all
forces that stand for American de-

mocracy. May the program succeed
in this day of crisis agriculture.

A healthy litter of Silver Black Fox Pu!!!
plea on the Hendricks Fox Farm

HE Hendricks Silver Fox
' ' > Farm was started three years
1 ago in the fall of .1919 with
three pairs of the highest grade
Silver Black Foxes on a 210-acre
Farm near Flint, Michigan. The Fox
Farm was successfully operated as a
side line in connection with the
farm until this fall when we rent-
ed the farm to enable us to take
up the business in better shape.

We now have on our Ranch 74
beautiful black Foxes with a sprinkle

mand now-days, which it ﬁgured at
the same (price the original was
bought for, the ranch would be pay-
ing over 800 'per cent at the end of
the breeding season.
i Five animals have been added to
the ranch so as to imbreed and a
number of males have been ex-
changed with the ranchers. Out of
the 41 pups secured this spring we
have raised all but one. This pup
got through the fence when very
young.
' We have had no difficulty in,rais-
ing these animals. The young‘ if
properly cared for grow very rapidly.
We have puppies on our ranch less
than five months old that are now
larger than their mothers. They
usually have a litter when they are
a year old, the number ranging from
one to nine. Our litters this year
range from two to six with an aver—
age of four _or a little better.
i Mating season takes place in Feb-
‘ruary or March and the young are
born about 52 days later. Great
*' care must be taken at that time of
:the season not to get the mother fox
frightened as in this case they will
.often destroy their young by carry—
ing them around hours at a time,
and sometimes when they become
real nervous they bury them alive.
Ranches are generally closed from
Jan._ Ist. to July Ist. During this
time no visitors are alIOWed in the
iranch, and no one except the care-
taker is admitted, for they readily
look for him when feeding time
comes.

Their principal food for summer
is cereals of different kinds, bread
made of entire Wheat, dog biscuits,
milk and. in fact most anything that
a dog will eat. We also feed a small
amount of meat during the Sum-
mer months. Beef hearts make a
good Slimmer meat. These are
bought at wholesale prices at 5c a
pound. Owing to extreme high price

MONEY IN Farms

BOUT three years ago the Business Farmer received a letter from
Mr. Richard Hendricks of Flint, MLich., asking- for information
on the breeding and raising of silver black foxes. We sent Mr.

Hendricks a number of government bulletins containing complete in-
formation on the subject, and gave him the names of reliable breeders
from whom he could buy foundation stock. Mr. Hendricks started with
three pair of foxes on his 210-acre farm in the fall of 1919, carrying
on the business as a side line to his farming. He now has 74 foxes,
Worth upwards of $50,000, and has rented his farm to devote his entire
time to the far more profitable enterprise of fax farming. Mr. Hend-
ricks’ success with black foxes reads like a fairy tale but it is no dif-
ferent than the success which hundreds of others have attained in this
industry. Given a few thousand; dollars to start with, a suitable loca-
tion, an average knowledge of the habits of foxes *vvhich are very, sim-
ilar to those of well-bred dogs, and a little patience and perseverance
and an farmer can duplicate what Mr. Hendricks has done. His story,
told herewith for the benefit of Business Farmer readers is very inter-
esting. Read it, and learn how you may take up the profitable and
facinating side line of breeding fur bearing animals. If you haven’t
the money to start with foxes, try skunks. Thousandsof farmers and
farmer boys are making good money raising these much deSpised and
misunderstood little animals. Further information on the raising of

 

 

foxes and skunks cheerfully given on request.—Editor.

 

 

 

 

of the animal the small amount it
cost to feed them is hardly recog-
nized. In the winter time a large
portion of their diet is horse meat.
Old horses that are too old to work
bu otherwise sound and healthy are
properly slaughtered and fed during

the winter months with very good re- '

sults. Every farmer is glad to get
rid of them which makes fox farm-
ing still more profitable.

The demand for live foxes is grad-
ually increasing year after year and
there is a ready demand for good an-
imals.’ One can readily understand
with the few fur bearing animals

that are left in the wild state today it.

is plainly feasible to take this step
and those who will take it in time
will reap a large harvest.

I can remember the time when
muskrats were selling at 80. to 100,.
each. Two years ago when I attend—

ed the !St. Louis Auction Fur \Sales I
saw muskrat skins selling as ‘high as
$6. This, of course, was the highest
price on record paid for furs, when
all other things were up in propor-
tion and have since then taken quite
a drop with everything else. But
prices are gradually pressing back to
the higher .mark. '
Remember that once every lake
and pond was covered with Musk-
rat and our streams lined with mink,
otter and beaver, when one could
take out the old coon dogs and tree
from four to half a dozen before
midnight, when foxes were so thick
in the woods they would destroy our
lambs and pigs and about all the
chickens one could raise. . But they
are gone now, never to come back
unless they are raised on fur farms.
Our timber has been cut off, our
swamps have been dried up by ditch-

ing and dredging and their hiding
places have been destroyed. The

great Hudson Bay Fur Co. who used" ,

to shiLloads of furs to London are
out of existence and trappers are go-
ing out to the‘extr-eme northern sec-
tions and will soon be'to the end of
the rope. ‘

The United States government has h
"been urging the people of the United

States to engage in the new fur
farming industry'and I want to state
right here that the farmer is the man
who is adapted to the business as he
has had- all kinds of experi-enée rais-
ing live stock, and furthermore he is
situated where he can raise them.

It requires about an acre and a
half to ranch fifty pairs of foxes
thus allowing you to build the pens
about 25 ft. square which we ﬁnd in
our experience is plenty large
enough. Fifty pairs of foxes can
easily be handled by one caretaker
and with ordinary success should
produce 150 puppies annually, which
if sold as live stock at a very low_
ﬁgure would net $100,000 per year.
This may sound too good to be true,
never the less such a ranch could
be started with a few pairs as a side-
line on any farm.

You do not necessarily have to
have $1,500 per pair for Foxes which
is a very reasonable price, one could
raise them at $100 per pair and make
'money. I never expect to see the
time in my days when good silvers.
will not bring that price.

Every farmer knows that it takes
three years to raise a cow and if
at that age she is worth $100 'she
must be a good one and if her board
bill was taken out there would be a
very small fraction left for the
farmer.

The mother fox produces a litter
of four on an average every year
which are full matured at the age of
seven or eight months. She 'will
raise three litters up to maturity
while the cow grows up which at
the present price of foxes would be
worth from $8,000 to $12,000 we
can cut this figure in two and then
cut in two again and yet have a
handsome profit left.

Again, fox farming in a fine job
for a retired farmer who does not
care to move to town and wishes to
have something to drive at for ex-
ercise and at the same time lay‘ up
more cash than he had been able to
dig out of the farm by hard labor in
the past 40 years. Having been a
farmer myself for the last 30 years,
farmed in three different states, fed
all kinds of live stock, milked as
high as 25 cows, sold the milk at a
little less than it cost to produce it,
I think I am well able to make this
statement.

‘ Why Do Not Michigan Potato Growers Raise More to the Acre?

HE farmers of Aroostook Coun-

ty raised an average of 252.1

bushels of potatoes to the acre

in 1919. Their total production was

21,331,934 bushels, in a single coun—

ty. That’s considerably over one—

half as many potatoes as all the

farmers of Michigan raise in a
normal year. '

In the same year the farmers of
Montcalm county, which is the lead-
ing potato county of Michigan and
granks ninth among all the United
States in the number of acres plant-
ed to potatoes, produced an average
of only 92.8 bushels to the acre, or
a total of 1,745,998 bushels.

r In the same year the farmers of
‘Kent county which ranks second in
gMichigan in point of acreage, pro-
lducedan average yield of 80.7. (or
less than a third of the Aroostook
.-‘yie1d), and a total of 944,683 bu-
‘shel‘s from a total acreage of 11,712.
.3 Oakland farmers in the same year
'{pro‘duced 1,037,021 bushels from
only 11,144 acres.

But Osceola county farmers had an .
average yield in 1919 of 120.4 bush-

 

 

 

HO‘V DID YOU DO IT?

S mentioned in the accompanying article, the average yield per
acre of potatoes in certain Michigan counties is less than 100
bushels, while inoAroostook county, Maine, it is 252 bushels. Of

course, we know there are lots of farmers in Michigan who are raising
more than 100 bushels of potatoes to the acre. But we don’t know who
they are or where they live. But we would like to know. If you or
your neighbor secures an extra big yield of spuds this year we’d like
to have you tell us about it, and we’ll gladly publish the story, together
with a picture of the grower and his potatoes. Help us to ﬁnd the
man who grew the largest number of bushels from a single acre.
“’e’ll allbe mightily interested in knowing how he did it.—Editor.

   
  

 

 

 

 

 

 

ewls to the acre and grew 1,002,240
bushels from 8,321 acres.‘

Why the Difference?

Why all this discrepency?
can the farmers of Aroostook, Maine,
in the Same year and under practic-
ally the same conditions, produce
over three times as many potatoes
to the acre as the farmers ‘of Kent
county, Michigan. '

Again, why can the farmers of
Oakland county, also in the same

Why ..

. and Oakland fanmers but .93 and

year and under the same conditions,
produce 90,000 MORE potatoes from
600 LESS acres than the farmers of
Kent county, a hundred miles away.

Still again, why can the farmers
of Osceola county raise nearly 100.—
000 MORE potatoes fram"3,000 LESS
acres than the farmers of Kent who
are just aetone’s throw away?

And why, instead ~0f Kent farmers
producing but 80 bushels to the acre,

 

   

Montcalm farmers but 92 and Grand
Traverse farmers but 101, aren't
they all growing twice as many to
the acre? ‘

One more question, “how can the
farmers of Michigan, with an aver-
age yield of less than 100 bushels
to the acre, compete with the farmers
of Maine with an average of nearly

200 bushels, when the total crop is ‘

big and prices are low like they are
this year?” ..
A, Maine’s Huge Advantage

The average value per acre of the
Aroostook county crop in' 1919 was
$517; the average of the Montcalm
county crop was $190; 'of the Grand

Traverse, $209 and of the Osceola,»

$247.

It is to be presumed that it cost
the Maine farmer a. little more to
raise $517 worth of potatoes than'it
did the Montcalm farmer to raise
$190 worth. But could the extra
cost have possibly amounted to the
difference between the two or $327
to the acre, or to even one-half the
difference between the two?

Let us assume that is costs , the; g

Before they had recovered from
their astonishment he was gone. ~

He did not follow the road along

before, but turned again into the
winding trail that led riverward
through the poplars. Where beforé
he had been a little amused at him.
self, he was now more seriously dis-
gusted. He was not afraid of Quade,
who was perhaps the most dangerous
man along the line of trail. Neither
was he afraid of the lawless men
who worked his ends. But he knew
that he had made powerful ene-
mies, and all because of an unknown
Woman whom he had never seen un—
til half an hour before. It was this
that disturbed his equanimity—the
woman (if it, and the knowledge that
his interference had been unsolicited
and probably unnnecessary. And now
that he had gone this far he found
it not easy to recover his balance.
Who Was this Joanne Gray? he asked
himself. She was not ordinary -——
like the hundred other women who
had gone on ahead of her to Tete
Jaune Cache. If she had been that,
he would soon have been in his little
shack on the shore of the river, hard
at work. He had planned work for
himself that afternoon, and he was
nettled to discover that his enthusi-
asm for the grand ﬁnale of a cer-
tain situation in his novel was gone.
Yet for this he did not blame her.
He was the fool. Quade and his
friends would make him feel that
sooner or later.

His trail led him to a partly dry
muskeg bottom. Beyond this was a
thicker growth of timber, mostly
spruce and cedar, from behind which
came the rushing sound of water. A
few moments more and he stood with
the wide tumult of the Athabasca
at his feet. He had chosen this spot
for his little cabin because the river
ran wild here among the rocks. and
because pack—outﬁts going into the
southward mountains could not dis—
turb him by fording at this point.
Across the river rose the steep em-
bankments that shut in Buffalo
Prairie, and still beyond that the
mountains, thick with timber rising
billow on billow until trees looked
like twigs, with gray rock and glist-
ening snow shouldering the clouds
above the last purple line. The cabin

in which he had lived and worked ,

for many Weeks faced the river and
the distant Saw Tooth Range, and
was partly hidden in a clump of jack-
pines. He opened the door and ent-
ered. Though the window to the
south and west he could see the
white face of Mount Geikie. and forty
miles away in that wilderness of
peaks, the sombre frown of Hard-
esty; through it the sun came now,
ﬂooding his work as he had left it.
The last page of manuscript on
which he'had been working was in
his typewriter. He sat down to be—
gin where he had left off in that pi-
votal situation in his masterpiece.
He read and re—read the last two
or three pages of the manuscript,
struggling to pick up the threads
where he had dropped them. With
each reading he became more con-
vinced that his work for that after-
noon was spoiled. And by whom?
By what? A little ﬁercely he packed

his pipe with fresh tobacco. Then
he leaned back,' lighted it, and
laughed. More and more as the

minutes passed he permitted himself
to think of the strange young wo-
man whose beauty and personality
had literally projected themselves in-
to his workshop. He marvelled at
the crudity of the questions which
he asked himself, and yet he per-
sisted in asking them. Who was
she? that could be hermission at
Tete Jaune Cache? She had repeated
to him what she had said to the girl

For eighteen hours she has been riding steadily bound,
for Tete Jaune Cache, the land of “The Horde,”
The train stops at a  composed of

both she asks where she can secure them and is directed to “Bill’s

Desiring food and ‘3
Shock”.

Bill’s Shock is owned and operated by Bill Quade, leader of theiswless band
of the town. When she steps inside the doorway she recognizes him as a
brute but as she has entered and is very hungry and dustyvsh'o decides to go
through with her plan. Quade says he has a room she can rent and asks her
to follow him. As they pass out of the room there appears a newcomer in

the doorway opening off the street.

The newcomer is not of the kind of men

lounging about the room but shows in face and in actions that he is'of the
wholesome living type. He has seen the girl enter this place and believes she
has made a mistake and as he stands in the doorway his eyes rest upon the

curtain-covered doorway through which the girl and Quade

as Just passed.

In but a. moment the girl steps oht, her facc'flaming like fl e and eyes filled

with the flash of lightning.

Quade follows her apologetically.

He starts to

offer the girl a. roll of money but before he can do so the newcomer steps to

the girl’s side and strikes Quade'with terrific force.

The Brute goes down in

a heap and the newcomer hurries the girl outside and away from the scene.
The newcomer, who is John Aldous a. novelist and known as a woman hater,
learns from the girl that her name is Joanne Gray. , He takes her tothe home of
a friend and returns to Bill’s Shack warning Quade. to leave—the girl alone. That

brings the story up to our present installment.

\

 

her name, she had offered no en-

lightenment.
In the brief space that he had

been with her he had mentally tabu--

lated her- age as twenty—eight—no
older. Her beauty alone, the purity
of her eyes, the freshness of her lips,
and the slender girlishness of her
ﬁgure, might have made him say
twenty, but with those things he
had found the maturer poise of the
Woman. It had been a flashlight
picture, but one that he was sure of.

Several times during the next hour
he turned to his work, and at last
gave up his efforts entirely. From a
peg in the wall he took down a little
riﬂe. He had found it convenientto
do much of his own cooking, and he
had broken a fewlaws The part—
ridges were out of season, but temp-
tingly fat and tender. With a brace
of young broilers in mind for sup—
per, he left the cabin and followed
the narrow foot—trail up the river.
He hunted for half an hour before
he stirred a covey of birds. Two
of these he shot. Concealing his
meat and his gun near the trail he
continued toward. the ford half a
mile farther up, Wondering if Stev-
ens, Who was due to cross that day,
had got his outﬁt over. Not until
then did he look at his watch. He
was surprised to ﬁnd that the Tete
Jaune train had been gone three-
quarters of an hour. For some unac-
countable_ reason he felt easier. He
went on, whistling.

'At the ford he found Stevens
standing close to the river’s edge,
twisting one of his long red mous-
taches in doubt and vexation.

“Damn this river,” he growled, as
Aldous came up. “You never can tell
what it’s going to do overnight. Look
there! Would you try to cross?”

“I wouldn’t,” replied Aldous. “It’s
a foot higher than yesterday. I
wouldn’t take the chance."

“Not with two guides, a cook, and
a horse—wrangler on your pay-roll—
and a hospital bill as big as Geikie
staring you in the face?” argued
Stevens, who had been sick for three
months. “I guess you’d pretty near
take a chance. I’ve a notion to.”

“I wouldn’t.” repeated Aldous.

“But I’ve lost two days already,
and I’m taking that bunch of sight—

_seers out for a lump sum, guaran-

teeing ’em So many days on the trail.
This ain’t what‘yeu might call on
the trail. They don’t expect to pay
for this delay, and that outﬁt back
in the bush is costing me thirty dol-
lars a day. We can get the dunnage
and ourselves over in the ﬂat—boat.
It’ll make our arms crack—but we
can do it. I’ve got twenty—seven
horses. I’ve a notion to chase ’em
in. The river won’t be any lower
tomorrow.”

“But you may be a. few horses
aheadl’

Stevens bit *off a chunk of tobacco
and sat down. For a few moments
he looked at the muddy ﬂood with
an ugly eye. Then he chuckled and
grinned.

"Came through the camp half an
hour ago,”»he said. “Heard you
cleaned up on Bill Quade." - »

   

“fA bit,” said Aldous. .. 

Stevens rolled his quid and spat
into the water Blushing at his feet.

Guess I saw the woman when she
got off the train,” he went on. “She
dropped something. I picked it up,
but she .was so darned pretty as
she stood there looking about I
didn’t dare go up an’ give it tO‘ her.
If it had been worth anything I’d
screwed up my courage. But it
wasn’t—so I just gawped like the
others. It was a piece of paper.
Mebby you’d like it as 'a souvenir,
seein’ as you laid out. Quade for
her." , "

As he spoke, Stevens fished a

crumpled bit of paper from his
smoothed the page out on his knee.

, There was no writing on it, but it

was crowded thick wth figures, as if
the maker of the numereals ‘had
been doing some problem in math-
ematics. The chief thing that in;
terested him was that wherever
monetary symbols were used it was
the “’pound” and not the “dollar”
sign.” The totals of certain columns
were rather startling.

“Guess She’s a millionaire if that’s
her own money she’s been figger-
ing,” said Stevens. “Notice that fig’.
ger there!" He pointed with a stub-
by forefinger. :Pretty near a bil-
lion, ain’t it?”

“Seen hundred and fifty thou-
sand,” said Aldous.

He was thinking of the “pound”
sign. .She had not looked like the
folded the slip of paper and put it
in his pocket. 4

Stevens eyed him seriously.

"I was coming over to give you
a bit of advice before I left for the
Mﬂgne Lake country," he said.
“You’d better move. Quade won’t
want you around after this Be-
sides ” ‘ '

i “What?”

“My kid heard something,” con-
tinuedthe packer, edging nearer.
“You was mighty good to the kid
when I was down an’ out, Aldous.
I ought to tell you. It wasn’t an
hour ago the kid was behind the
tent an' he heard Quade and Slim
Barker talking. .So far as I can find
from the kid, Quade has gone nutty
over her. He’s ravin’.- He told Slim
that he’d give ten thousand dollars
to get her in his hands. What sent
the boy down to me was Quade tell-
in’ Slim that he’d get you first. He
told Slim to go on to Tete Jaune—-
follow the girl!"

 

“The deuce you say!” cried Al-

dous, clutching the other’s arm sud-
denly. “He’s done that?"

“That’s what the kid says."

Aldous rose to his feet slowly.
The careless smile was playing about
his mouth again. . A few men had
learned that in those moments John
Aldous was dangerous.

“The kid is undoubtedw right,”
he said, locking down at Stevens.

' "But I am quite sure the young wo-

man is capable of taking care of her-
self. Quade has a tremendous
amount of nerve, setting sun to fol-
low her, hasn’t he? Slim may run
up against a husband or a brother."

work was done so cleverly that the
police had been unable to call him to
account. . ,.

Quade’s status had interested Al-
dous from the beginning. He had
discovered that Quade and Culver
Rann, his patner at Tete J‘aune, were
forces to be reckoned with even by

the “powers” along the line of rail-

They were the two_chiefs of the “un-
derground”, the men who controlled
the most dangerous element from
Miette to Fort George. He had once

seen Culver Rann, a quiet, keen—eyed '

emmaclately groomed man of forty-=—
the cleverest scoundrel that had ever
drifted‘into the Canadian west. He
had been told that Rann was deally
the brain of the combination, 'and
that the two picked up a quarter of
a million in various ways. But it
was Quade with whom he had to deal
now, and he began to thank Stevens

for his warning. He was ﬁlled with..- r  

a sense of relief when he reached his
cabin and found it as he had left it.
He always made a carbon of his
work. This copy he now put into a
waterproof tin box, and the box he

He saw the tragedy almost before

was the ' gravelly bar which they
must reach on the opposite side. He
noted _the grayish strip of smooth
water that marked the end of the
dead-line. Three or four of the
stronger animals were forging stead-
ily toward this. The others grouped
close together, almost motionless in
their last tremendous fight, were
left farther and farther behind. Then
came the break. A mare and her
yearling colt had gone in with the
bunch. Aldous saw the colt, with}
its small head and shoulders high

terrible cries of the perishing an-

flood split itself with the force of

turned his eyes upstream and
close in to shore. There‘ flowed a
steady current free of rock and
down this—head and shoulders

still high out of the water—came
the colt! What smiracle had
thus far
Aldous did not stop to ask. Fifty
yards below it would meet the fate
of the others. Half that distance
in the direction of the maelstrom
below was the dead trunk of a fallen
spruce overhanging the water for
fifteen or twenty feet. In a flash
Aldous was racing toward it. He
climbed out on it, leaned far over,
and reached down. His hand
touched the water. In the grim ex—
citement of rescue he forgot his own

' peril. There 'was one chance in twent-
'ty that the colt would come within

his reach, and it did. He made a
single lunge and caught it by the
ear. For a moment after that his
heart turned sick. Under the added
strain th- dead spruee sagged down
with a warning crack. But it held,
and Aldous hung to his grip on the
ear. Foot by foot he wormed his
way back, until at last he had
dragged the little animal ashore.

And then a voice spo'ke behind
him, a voice that he would have rec-

ognized among ten thousand, low,
sweet, thrilling.
“That was splendid, John

Aldous!” it said. “If I were a man
I would like to be a man like you!”
He turned. A few steps from him
stood Joanne Gray. Her face was as
white as the bit Of lace at her
throat. Her lips were colourless,
and her bosom rose and fell swiftly.
He knew that she, too, had witnessed
the tragedy. And the eyes that
looked at him were glorious.

CHAPTER IV

JOHN ALDOUS Joanne’s ap-
pearance at ,this moment was
,_ like an anti—climax. It plunged
him headlong for a single moment
into what he believed to be the ab-
surdity of a situation. He had a quick
mental picture of himself out on the
dead spruce, performing a bit of
mockiheriosm by dragging in a half-
drowned colt by one car. In an-
other instant this h~ad passed, and he
was wondering why Joanne was not
on her way to Tete Jaune.

“It was splendid!" she was saying
again, .her eyes glowing at him. “I
know men who would not have risk-
ed that for a human!”

“Perhaps they would have been
showing good judgment,” replied
Aldous.

He noticed now that she was hold-
ing with one hand the end of a long
slender sapling which a week or two
before hehad cut and trimmed for
a ﬁsh -pole. He nodded toward it,
a half-cynical smile on his lips.

“Were you going to ﬁsh me out—
or the colt?” he asked.

“You,” she replied. “I thought
you were in danger.” And then'she
added, “I suppose you are deeply
grateful that fate did not compel you
to be saved by a woman.”

“Not at all. If the spruce had

' snapped, I would have caught at the

end of your sapling like any drown-
ing rat—or man. Allow me to
thank you.”

its gears enclosed and run in oil. Dry gears, exposed todust. wear rapidly. ~.~

BED AND ALSIKE CLOVER SEED
CROPS LARGER THAN LAST YEAR

HE 1922 crop of red clover seed
is estimated to be about one-
third larger and the ,alsike

clover seed crop one-sixth larger than
last year, according to data obtained
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. The increased produc-
tion is due both to a larger acreage
and better yield per acre in most of
the heavy-producing sections. The
weather prior to and at harvest time
was generally favorable, but in some
regions recent hot, dry Weather, sim?
ilar to that of last year, has reduced
yields considerably.

Prices offered to growers on
August 28 for red and alsike clover
were $2.80 and $1.65 per 100
pounds, respectiv¢ly,than “on the
same date last year and about one-
half as much as were paid two years
ago.

Almost every important producing
section, except southern, Wisconsin
and southern Minnesota, indicate an
increased acreage of red clover rang-
ing from 9 per cent to 61 per cent
and almost all sections indicated
larger yields per acre. In most Sec-
tions the spring rains gave the hay
crop an excellent start and it was
cut early. Rains continued long
enough after the hay crop had been

’“removed to give the seed crop a good

start. Dry weather at‘the time the
seed was getting further aided in in—
creasing the yield over that of last
year. Very little Winterkilling was
reported except in southeastern Wis-
consin, where it wasiairly serious,
while last year a numbenof import-
ant sections reported varying degrees
of damage from that cause.
Harvesting of the crop began in-
Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois (second
crop) about‘August 20—30. and in
Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin,
August 25, September 5. Threshing
began in scattered localities in each
of the sections a week or 10 days
after harvest, but the bulk of the
crop probably will not be threshed
before October 15 or later, depending
largely upon the activity of buyers.
Prices paid to growers for country-
run seed on August 28, in the most
important sections, ranged from
$10.25 per 100 pounds in north-
eastern Missouri to $13.25 in south—
ern Wisconsin and averaged for all
sections about $12.20, 7 compared
with $15 11 the same date last year
and $23.65, two years ago. Prices
for reclaimed seed, or “basis clean
seed,” averaged about $1 per 100
pounds more than for country-run
seed. ‘ _ ,
The acreage and yield per acre
of alsike clover seed 'in most sections
were larger than last year, but the
increases were not so large as in the
case of red clover. Increases in acre-
age over that of last year range from
2 per cent in northern Indiana. to
27 per cent in. central Illinois: in-
creases in yield peraerelrenge from

   
   

and the crop in most seetions made
better growth than last ’year,.wh ,.
drought and hot. weather reduced‘th“ ’
yield considerably. 4 

The harvesting of the alsikoerop,
was later in most sections 1118!! last-
year. In Illinois, _ __ ,
Ohio, harvesting "began July .1713"
and followed shortly afterwardsljiiu‘r

run. alsike seed on‘ August 28 ranged
from $10.75 per‘
northeast Wisconsin to $ .50, in,
northern Indiana and averaged about

$11.40, compared with $13, last'year,“ -

and $24, twoyears ago. Prices for
reclened seed averaged about $1.40
per 100 pounds more than~for coun-
try—run seed.

FRUIT and ORCHARle

 

DEVELOPMENT OF THE STRAW-
BERRY -

T is safe to say that no fruit has

I; been developed during the past

25 years as much as the straw-

berry. At the beginning of the cen-

tury the overbearing strawberry was i,

looked upon as a curiosity, or a
freak. That it could‘ be made of com-
mercial importance was scar-oily
thought possible. Now it has 8 rec-
ognized place in the fruit market and
its importance is increasing.

The ﬁrst varieties introduced were
shy bearers and made few plants.
While the quality of the fruit was in—
ferior, but these defects seem to have
been changed for the better. some
of the kinds now grown bear abund-
antly. make manv plants and have
a sprightliness that matches that of
the spring fruit. . .

One of the latest varieties has
come from a cross with a wild berry
as one of the parents. The result is
a berry with the much desired

' ‘wlld'- ﬂavor, the absence of which in

cultivated strawberries is so often
deplored.
larger than the well-known Pro-
gressive, making it a heavy cropper.
The plant is vigorous and thrOws out
a plantiful supply of runners. To

make it still more attractive, it bears y

in both spring and fall.

The variety is not yet being dis-
fy-gmuna and may not be Within reach
of planters for a season or two more.
bu.. when it becomes available It
promises to surprise berry growers,

unless it develop some weakness not .

in evidence. Anyhow, if this variety
should fail In the" final test, which.
seems improbable, it is a prediction
of what may be expected withinthe
near future. ‘

 

NOTES

Give grape vines, room. Plant them In"
rows eight or ten feet apart. Set them
ten or twelve feet apart in the row. '
_Japanese walnuts are not uncommon
and are listed by many nurserymen. The
rree is a wonderfully rapid growers; and
early and abundant bearer. when plant-
ed in a moist place. But the nut is in-
ferior to the common black walnut, both .
in size and quality. In sha e it is mid--
way between the black wa nut and the
butternut, while the tre e looks some-_
what like the latter. Some of the claims
for it have been rather extravagant, as
is always to be expected with anything
new. However. It is a valuable tree .for
those who want something that will be-
gin bearing by the time American wal-
nuts have nicely started at growing.

“3'Would like to know if any but tax—
“T.pa.yers can vote lawfully, for a road-
.‘master. We» have a. farmer in our dist-
 .riot who gets into that office by bring-

'1 Rapids, Mich. >
- Concerning the election of
 “road master,” which I presume is
meant for an Overseer, I would call
' Your attention to Sec. 6, Chapter 13
ofthe General Highway Law, which
provides that any resident of the
district, who is an elector or any
elector of the township having tax-
able property in the district (but
who is not a resident of the dis-
trict), may vote for such overseer.
If the township in question is op-
erated under the provisions of
Chapter 25, of the General High-
way Law, the same provisions ap-
ply, i. e;, any elector may vote for
an overseer in his district.—I—Iarry

{Highway Department.

THAT ETERNAL LINE FENCE
QUESTION '

A and B have a dispute over a line
between farms. A certain maple tree.
the center of which the line was sup-
posed to be by both parties until A
claimed the line was over on B, thirty
feet south of the maple tree. B sug-
gested they employ a surveyor, which A

agreed to; each to pay half of same. .

When the surveyor arrived, A refused
to pay a rent, but agreed before three
witnesses if B paid surveying charges,
he would accept the established line.
One survey was made, the surveyor was
unable to set the corner on the east end,
on account of lack of time that day, but
returned in a few weeks, with new evid-
ence, surveyed same again and estab-
lished a corner about 18 feet north of
said maple. During B’s absence A erects
a woven wire fence, supposing he has
run same on the line B once had a fence,
but which B built with his own material
and labor for his own benefit, but set-
ting same over on B‘s own side, also on
south side of maple, making A’s fence at
present about two or three feet 0n B’s
side. There never has 'been any fence
on this land before only what B con-
structed for his own use, but not build—
ing same for a line fence or claiming
any as sucn.

Can B have sufficient evidence to
warrant action in the courts to comin
Ato remove his fence, A claimed before
two or three people the line was 30 fcgt
on B. The surveyor located the witness
trees by his field notes to a dot?

Please advise regarding procdure of
same and all information you may be
able to get on same. Also can B com-
pel A to keep his chickens from trespas-

. sing on B’s land? 7

The controversy started in this case
was by A wanting to cut the maple tree
which was until then supposed to be the
Illne.—-S. R., Three Rivers, Mich.

Under the statement I would be of
the opinion that B could maintain
a right to the land established by the
surVeyor as the proper line between
the two properties. Old fences are
good evidence of where the true line
is. A very old fence undisputed may
be the best evidence of where a true
line is but if a fence has not been
there in such a way as to establish
by agreement where the true line
is then I would be of the opinion that
the survey‘would control as to the
place the true line should be located.

A verbal contract as to some sub-
jects may be as good as a written one
and it may be void and no good as to
other subjects—Legal Editor.

THE DIFFICULTIES OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT

Would you please tell me the law in
regard to arrests for ’ stilling moon-
shine. Two men went to a . place
where thy found two other men 1 a
house with a still. They went and
tried to get the prosecutor and shenff
but the phone lines were not in order so
they then went to a justice of the’
peace and asked for a. search warrant
to be served by the deputy sheriff. The
justice said he wOuld not have any
authority in that case. It had to be

, _done by the sheriff and prosecutors but

the deputy sh riff proposed to go any-'
way, so the t ree then went. They
found one man on guard outside and he
got away but there was one man in the
” house. The still was on the stove, a
good hot fire and a can set to catch the
liquor. pliers was about a gallon and
three barrels of mash. ' They took the
still and man before the p osecutor and

I. 1' he let him go because the eputy had no

Search Warrant. How with all of this
evidence can’t there be anything done,
1 ,or.,has this got to be let go in this man—
i'ner because people will not act who
1 have the authority—L. F., Clare Coun-

difficulties which followed

  og-"fmts presented in
'3' hm mien

in the error committed by the Just-
ice in» declining to issue a search
warrant when asked for by the De-
puty Sheriff. The Deputy Sheriff
should have secured a search war-
ranteither from this Justice or
some other Justice, 01" upon order
from the Prosecutor, as he certain-
ly under this state of facts was en—
titled to a search warrant. How-
ever, failing to secure a. search
warrant for the reasons assigned by
him did not justify him in making
an entry of the premises and a
search and seizure of the incrimin-
ating evidence. We do not think
that the evidence taken under these
circumstances could be used in a.
prosecution». However, we do not
see that this would necessarily pre-
vent a prosecution for the manu-
facture of liquor, for, if the officer,
and others, were in the home and
saw the still in actual operation
and could tell from the odor, or
otherwise, that the product was 1i-

quor, a prosecution could be sus-.

tained upon this evidence without

\ the necessity of using the still or

the liquor itself, and we would re—
commend that the case be presented
to the Prosecuting Attorney from
that viewpoint.—A. Daugherty,
Deputy Attorney General.

ANIMAL MISREPRESENTED
I purchased what was supposed to be
a three—year old gelding. He proved to
be an original as soon as I got him
home. I complained to original owners
and they said that they knew nothing of
it. I can furnish proof that they did
know‘ it. Are they liable for return of
purchase prioe?——O. F., Pavilion. Mich.
The return of the animal or dam—
ages in the sale will depend upon the
warranty made at the sale. If no
warranty or representations were
made at the sale you will be without
‘ any right of action for damages. The
seller is only liable for some kind of
a warranty or the failure to make
some disclosure that he was in duty

bound to disclose—Legal Editor.

SEEDING ROLLING LAWN

We have a rolling lawn and it is san—
dy soil. What kind of grass would you
seed it down with?——Mrs. J. D. L., Pent-
water, Mich.

We would recommend a mixture
of the following grasses: Chewing’s
Red Fescue Rhode Island Bent grass
and Red Top, mixed in about equal
proportions.-——C. P. Halligan, M. A.
C. .

SCHOOL BOARD CANNOT SELL
FURNACE

I would like to know if a school
board has any right to dispose of a fur—
nace that had been in use two years be—
cause one member of the board did not
want it and then buy a stove and use it
one winter and then it got newsed
around that the furnace was gone and up
comes a man with a big stick in his
hand and says “put back that furnace,"
and so they did, so the shift has cost
the district about 150.00. Can the school
board he made to refund this monwy'?
The director of the same board could
have hired a teacher for $70.00 per
month but the teacher would not board
With the director so they went and paid
$80.00 in order to get the teacher to
board there.———H. H., Davison, Mich.

School officers cannot dispose of
any school property without a vote
of the people.

In regard to buying a stove and
using it one winter, we would say
that no heating plant can be in—
stalled in any school building with-
out the approval of the Superin—
tendent of Public Instructian and a
stove Without a ventilating system
in connection would not be approv-

Ired by the Department.

I do not’understand your refer-
ence to a “big stick” nor to the
board putting back that furnace,
“that furnace” probably being the
one referred to above as disposed of
by the board, but in answer to your
question as to whether the board
can install a furnace will say as
above, that if the furnace meets the
approval of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction the board‘has a

right to put it in and spend what-

ever money is necessary for it.
You ask if the board can be'

made to refund this'money. I would.

say yes.

Rheumatism

A Remarkable Home Treatment
Given by One Who Had It

In the year 1803 I was attacked by Mus—
cular and Sub~Acute Rheumatism. I suffered as
only those who are thus afflicted know for over
three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but
such relief as I obtained was only temporary.
, I found a treatment that cured me
' ‘ con 'tion has
never returned. I have given it to umber who
were terribly afﬂicted, even bedi’idnen, some of
them seventy to eighty years old, and the
results were the same as in my own case.

I want every sufferer from any form of nius-
oulor and subacute (swelling at the joints)

EAR Nieces and Nephews: In
my letter in the last issue
Where I announced the new

contest regarding birds I neglected
to mention two important things.
They were: first, your list of names
should contain only the names of
Michigan birds and second, you must
compose this list without the assist-
ance of any book. Just notice on
your way to and from school how
many: different birds you see and
write the names of them down and
then in the evening sit down with
your notes and write your letter to

me.

Because of my error I will not
close the contest until midnight, Oc—
tober 7th, so all of you have plenty
of time to write if you have not al-
ready done so, and if you have you
may send another letter and I will
count that instead of your ﬁrst one.

Look on the next page and read
about the great contest the Business
Farmer is starting. The ﬁrst prize
is $500.00 and you can win it and
stand just as good a chance of win-
ning it as anyone. One of the win-
ners in the picture puzzle contest
put on by M. B. F. last year was
only eleven years old, so you see
age doesn’t count. Just think what
you could do with that much mon-
ey. And the‘best part of it all is
that it does not cost one cent for
you to try. If you do not win ﬁrst
prize remember there are 14 oth—
ers and M. B. F. is going to give
them all away to its friends, and
you could use some of the money I
know.

Last year you had to ﬁnd the
words beginning with the letter
“S” while this time it is the words
that begin with “B.” But before
you start at work be sure to read
the directions over carefully and if

there is anything you do not under-'

stand ask your mothers or fathers
to explain it to you. Or you can
write direct to the Contest Manager.
He will be pleased to answer your
questions. Now one thing more; be
sure to clip the puzzle picture and
Send it to the Contest Manager
when you send your list of words to
him. How many of my nieces and
nephews are going to win some of
this money, or how many are. at
lcnst going to try to win some of
it? -—— UNCLE NED.

 

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle Nod —— Here are the
following birds that I know:

Sparrow, robin, bluebird, black-
bird, kingﬁsher, condor, catbird,
thrush, wren, quail, bobolink, blue-
jay, meadowlark, swallows, parrots,
Chickadee, stork, hummingbird,
canary, snow bird. killdeer, nbcnbn,
doves, pigeon, hawk, crow, owl, yel-
lowbird, kingbird, crane, ground
bird, graybird, brown thresher, mud-
hen, aimless robin, skunk bird,
chippy bird. ostrich, woodpeckm‘,
vultures, bittern, high holder,
mourning dove, nightingale, whip-
poor—will, snipe, bat.

The bird that T like best is the
robin. It has a red breast and its
back is a dark brown. It is about
three inches high and about 4 1-2
inches long. It will'come early in
the spring and build its nest, in a
barn or apple tree. When it has
its nest built it will lay three or
four eggs of a pale blue color. Then
it will set until their eggs are
hatched. We should never harm
the robin or any other birds.
Miss Carmen Shook, Reese, Mich.,
age 12.

 

Dear Uncle cht—Herc are the
names of birds and the description
of the ones I like the best:

Brown thresher,» mockingbird,
tufted titmouse, golden—crown king-
1et, bluejay, blue grosbeak, catbird,
snowbird, ruby-throated humming-
bird, loggerhead Shrike, sparrow,
woodpecker, kingfisher, canary, red-
winged blackbird, crow, owl, crane,
wren, m'eadowlark, killdeer, eagle,
parrot, bluebird, blackbird, condor,
oriole, snow bunting, vermillion fly-
catcher, g‘olden-winged warbler, bul-
locks oriole, blackburian warbler,
myrtle warbler, horned lark, yellow-
throated vireo, American, ,crossbill,

.. oriole, partridge,

   

cedar waxwing, yellow-breasted chat,
yellow-bellied sapsucker, redpoll,
purple finch, robin. -

I like the canary the best because
you can have it for a pet and it has
a, sweet voice. And its sweet
voice may make happy hours out of
lonely ones. The canary I had was
yellow on the back and breast and
the head. The wings have a little
black on them. Its legs are yellow.
The canary will take a bath and it

cuts seed—Marian Wyckoff,. Sher-
idan, Mich., R. No. I, Box 13.
Dear Uncle Ned:—-I am only 9

years of age and in the sixth grade
but I thought I would try to get the
pl‘lZJ anyway.

Robin, bluebird, hummingbird,
killdeer, pheobe, pigeon, dove, blue
heron, kingfisher, blackbird, canary,
woodpecker, quail, wren, green her—
on, crow, hawk, eagle, catbird,
mourning dove, owl, sparrow, swal—
low, lark, parrot, redbird, bluejay,
peacock, baring
gull, sea gull, magpie, thrush, whip—
poor—will, stork, marsh hen, cowbird.

The quail is not a. very handsome
or attractive bird but to me it is a
very nice bird. I do not live in the
city so I can hear the quails sing.
Almost every day I can hear their
shrill voices calling out, “Bob white,
bob white.” I have become so at-
tached to their pretty songs. They
build their nests of fine things, such
as horse hairs. They build them on
the ground. The bird is a brownish
color. Their eggs are pure white.
They are quite large for a bird’s egg.
The young quails run around soon
after they are hatched—Lois Rens-
berry, Fenton, Mich., R. F. D. No. 2.

Dear Uncle Ned——I am a girl 10
years old and in the 4th grade. My
father takes the M. B. F. and I read
the Children’s Hour. We live on a
160-acre farm and I like the farm
better than the city. We have a dog,
four old cats and three little kittens.
We have about 100 chickens, 9 pigs,
12 cows 22 young cattle and 6
liors‘ts. i will tell you about my trip
to Chicago.

We went on a boat named “Ala-
bama” and it was rough the entire
trip. We started

and I. There were many animals
on board the boat and there was a
hospital on the boat for them. There
is so much to tell about about Chica-
go that I cannot tell it all. Write to
me—Ruth C. Nelson, R. 2, Grant,
Mich.

 

 

iwur Uncle Ned Here is a poem I

composed:
The Three Happy Maids
I’ll tell you a story that I’m sure
You'll like quite Well,
It’s about three maids
Whose names I will not tell.

Thcir home is the prettiest ever seen,
With a. back—ground, oh! so lovely and
green,
The porch is covered with roses so bright
It is just a beautiful sight.

The words break forth
From their lips so soft,

And the wonderful voices
Are heard far off.

Early in the morning
They‘re often seen
Strolling along
The meadows so green.

They’ve nothing to do
But work and play,

This is the reason
They're happy and gay.

Their love for each other
Can never be told,

It's always increasing
Though they’re getting old.

The moon shines down
On the maids so fair,

While their voices softly ﬂoat
On the evening air.

80 now you see
My story’s told
And hope you’ll like it

As good as gold. I
-—Iris Arnold, Mt. Clemens. Mich., R4.

 

“WHAT I THINK OF CALF CLUB
WOR ”

RECEIVED my inspiration in

a mass meeting conducted at the

Rogers School, by Mr. George '13;

Bishop, now Secretary of the. Upper.

 

 

from Muskegon,_
my grandpa, mother, sister, brother

. State .Ch

  

Peninsula Development

ty Club Agent.
purebred stock
club.

so I joined
On April 28th, 1921 we held

Bureau, ;-, a
and Miss Mary'V. Hall, Iron Conn-i};
I was inte’restervm» ‘
the *

a meeting and organized the Clov-'

erland Calf club. We have had'
about ten regular meetings and six
meetings for preliminary judging,
all of which I attended and enjoyed,

and can say that there was not a -

meeting held but that I learned
something new. At these meetings
we had speakers who taught us how
to judge, and how to carry on our
club work successfully. Mr. George

E. Bishop soon after organization, "

left for Wisconsin to purchase the
pure bred ,calves for the members
of the club. I had chosen the Guern-
sey type because of the permanent
yellow color of its cream, which

brings a high market price and be-‘

cause of its hardiness and gentle-
ness and its remarkable dairy qual-
ities. The follOwing week I receive
ed word that the calves were to ar-
rive on the 4th day of May. I went
to the station to get the calf. Ding!
Dong! The train was coming. The
train came into the station and
switched the stock car to a side-
track to be unloaded. The calves

were carried onto the platform in»

their crates and were distributed to
club members by lot. They were
all Gucrnseys but two. which were
Holsteins. My calf was small, in
fact, one of the smallest of ,the
group, but now she compares fav-
orably with some of those that at
ﬁrst were larger and is gaining in
weight Wonderfully.

I have fed mv calf milk since the
day I bought her, and have also
fed her grain. She does not care for
oil meal alone, but when mixed
with ground feed she eats it readily.
My calf has not had any sickness,
and is strong and healthy. It fol-
lows me around and comes readily
when called. One day I went across
the road to a neighbor and the calf
followed me as far as the gate and
waited until I came back and then
followed me to the house. Every
month I lead her one mile to be
weighed, and I also led her three
miles to the fair at Iron River with-
out much trouble. I am more pleas:
ed with my calf now than the day
she arrived. My grandfather did

not think much of it either at ﬁrst, ‘

but he also has changed his mind.

I am taking as good care of my
calf as I know how, brushing and
cleaning it every night and when I
exhibited her at the county fair as
did other members of the club I
thought she must be the best calf
of the group. The judge, however,
decided differently, explaining to
us in what respects other calves
were superior, and awarded my calf
second. place out of fifteen exhibited
that day, much to my satisfaction.
Most of the calves exhibited be-
longed to club members and I learn-
ed that some of the members did
not take care of their calf as well
as others. We also judged stock
that day and three of our members
took prizes winning trips to
the Livestock Exposition at Chicago.
I am planning to take up this work
again next year, and am aiming to
win first place at the fair this fall
instead of second.

More than half of the members

of the Cloverland Club attended the
Upper Peninsula Club at Chatham
and in the stock judging we carried
off several prizes. Russell Hartley.
Iver Peterson and I won free trips
to the State Fair at Detroit while
Russell Hartley won in addition a
pure bred Holstein calf, and Iver
Peterson a pure bred Duroc-Jersey
hog.

I believe that the Cloverland
Calf Club has made a very creditable
record and I hope that more such
clubs may be organized. This kind
of Work should be carried on. The
club work has been of* great value
to me. The project work has given
me experience in making records in
a business—like way; has taught me
to judge with a_ fair degree of accur-

.acy-the various 'types of cows, sheep

and hogs, and has enabled me to

learn by practical experience the,

proper care of calves. But its great-.
est value probably lles in the fact
that it is interesting many boys in
agriculture from which will come‘
our future farmers. club leaders or‘

The Farmers Right’To Strike \

ECONOMISTS hold up their hands in hor-
ror at the very idea of the coming to pass
by some miracle a “farmers’ strike.” No one
has yet prophesied how it could be brought
about, but Secretary Wallace, in his very able
talk before the Farm Bureau at Leesburg, Va.,
Vnought out the facts comparing farm and la-
bor wages, which are timely in View of the re-
cent upheavals He said in. part:

“Take the average wage received by the coal
miner for mining a ton of coal. In 1913 the
wage per ton would buy 1.1 bushels of corn in
Iowa; in 1921 it would buy 2.5 bushels of corn
in Iowa. In 1913 the ton wage would buy .7 of a
bushel of wheat in North Dakota; in 1921, .9
of a bushel. In 1913 it would buy 4.7 lbs of
cotton in Texas; in 1921, 8.5 lbs. In 1913, 7 lbs.
of hogs in Nebraska; in 1921, 14 lbs. In 1913,
.8 of a bushel of potatoes in New York; in 1921,
1.2 bushels. In 1913, 11 lbs. of sheep in Wyom—
ing; in 1921, 18 lbs. In 1913, 1.6 bushels of oats
in Illinois; in 1921, 3.1 bushels. In 1913, 2.4
lbs. of butter in Missouri; in 1921, 3.2 lbs.

“Taking the average yearly earnings of rail-
road employes, we ﬁnd that in 1913 the yearly
wage would buy 1,492 bushels of corn in Iowa,
and in 1921, 4,112 bushels. It would buy 1,028
bushels of wheat in North Dakota in 1913; in
1921, 1,466 bushels. In 1913 it would buy 6,4‘49
lbs. of cotton in Texas, and in 1921, 13,934 lbs.
It would buy in 1913, 102 cwt. of hogs in No-
braska, and in 1921, 237 cwt. It would buy 148
cwt. of sheep in Wyoming in 1913, and in 1921,
296 cwt. In 1913 it would buy 1,087 bushels of
potatoes in New York; in 1921, 1,916 bushels. In
1913, 2,174 bushels of oats in Illinois; in 1921,
5,109 bushels. In 1913, 3,309 lbs. of butter in
Missouri, in 1921, 5,285 lbs.

“The purchasing power of the wages of the
railway employe in 1921 was 51 per cent greater
than in 1913. The purchasing powor of the wages
of the coal miner in 1921 was 30 per cent greater
than in 1913. The purchasing power of the farm
band who works for wages in 1921 was 4 per
cent less than 1913, while the purchasing power
of the farmer himself was, on an average, from
25 to 45 per cent less than in 1913.

“In short, the farmers of the country, number-
ing almost one—third of our entire population,
have borne altogether the heaviest burden of de-
ﬂation. They have endeavored to get relief by

all lawful means. They have apealed to the Ad- '

ministration, to Congress and to every other
agency which they thought might be able to
help them, but while making these eﬁorts to avoid
their heavy losses they have not struck. They
have not created disorders. They have kept on
producing and in the face of extraordinarily low
prices have this year grown one of the largest
crops in our entire history. The farmer believes
in law and order. He believes in government.
He believes in fairness in working hard and pro-
ducing efﬁciently.”

it is strange that labor-leaders cannot see
what is plain to all men, that wages cannot
rise, while the greater producers of America,
the farmers, are forced to accept lowered
“wages” in the price paid for the products of
their toil. Practically, the farmers of Amer-

ica. cannot strike, but it is highly doubtful, 

though  way were. opened.

The State Fair MidWay '
HEN Commissioner of Agriculture Doelle
sent Ezra Levin, an employee of his

own department, to investigate the Michigan
State Fair and report personally his; own opin-
ion of it, we doubt if Mr. Doelle had in mind
that the reportwould be so pointedly critical
or that it would so quickly find first page po-
sition in the daily press as an “attack on the
fair management”. ‘

We cannot view it as such, because Mr.
Levins report was really an attack on the
“midway”, which has always, and will always,
be. a source of lively discussion, just as placing

bets on the horse-races was, until it was per--

manently abolished from the fair grounds.

In defense of Mr. Dickinson’s able manage-
ment of the fair, it is readily apparent that
[he “midway” is a source of revenue of first
importance. Particularly is this true of the
Michigan fair. because of its proximity to De-
troit, the fourth largest city in America. No
other state fair in the United States is situated
so near a city of half Detroit’s population. City
folks are accustomed to spending their money
on “shows”, so the question of how greatly the
abolition of the “midway” Would effect the
gate receipts of the fair is one that the fair
management will ﬁnd hard to answer.

If the. midway with all its freaks, cheap-
‘shows and games of chance, has been the con-
tributing factor to provide in a large measure,
the profit at the close of each fair which has
made possible the new Coliseum, the' concrete
barns and the hundred and one educational
improvements Which are each year added to
the fair, then here indeed is a problem of mor-
ality versus finances.

This criticism of the midway and the kin-
dred concessions on the Michigan State Fair
grounds is not original with Mr. Levin, we
have heard it from visitors often, usually qual-
ified however by some remark regarding the
“suckers who wouldn’t be satisfied unless they
squandered some money at the fair.” But
there are we believe several successful state
fairs in this country where no midway is toler-
ated, it ought to be easy for Mr. Dickinson to
get the facts regarding their experience.

\Ve want to see the Michigan State Fair live
up to its opportunities, we want to see it con—
tinue under the management of Mr. Dickinson
and we cannot believe but. what the airing of
this midway matter, with the hope of bringing
fourth the fac ts even though they establish its
necessity as a profit~producer, will be Of gen.-
uinc benefit.

Alcohol from Potatoes

HE Washtenaw Post says the Business

Farmer is mistaken when it claims there
are too many potatoes. The problem is not one
of regulation, but of utilization, says our critic.
“The real fact is,” claims the Post writer,
“there hasn’t been a single potato mare raised
than could be proﬁtably used if the farmers
knew their business, which consists not only in
producing potatoes, but in selling them. Not
selling them in the form of potatoes, but in the
form of alcohol. * * * No, there are not too
many potatoes; there is only an absence of

commonsense on the. part of the farmers, in

dealing with the problem of an over—supply but
which really does not exist.” -

This editorhas suggested nothing new. As
a matter of fact the United States government
and many individuals—including Henry Ford,

It is entirely possible that the United States
may some day consume in one form or another
all the potatoes which the farmers can raise but
that time is not yet. If the farmers are due
for any criticism it is because they were so.
short sighted as to plant so many potatoes and-
not because they do not know how to market
the crop at a proﬁt.

progressive members of, that party who might
have hailed it a few years ago as a “bulwork af
protection for our infant industries.” But- in
the year' of Our Lord nineteen hundred and
twenty—tWo it praises have a hollow sound.
The infant industries of a few years back are
some of the mightiest trusts of the present
day. They need the protection of the govern-
ment about as badly as a pugilist needs a burs-
ing bottle. Anyway, the Fordney-McCumber
bill adds a few more tiers to the wall of pro-
tection around them to make sure that no com-
peting Europeean product may ever clmb over
to the American consumer. ‘
Much has been said of \the. “recognition”
which the bill gives toagriculture but as was
pointed out in these columns when the bill was
first under discussion, this recognition is more!
apparent than real. During the few months
that have elapsed since the introduction of the,
bill the thinking men in the agricultural field
have come to realize that except in a very few
cases the tariff on agricultural productswill
prove of no value whatever to the farmer. No

. WALL STREET AND The FARMER
/' N an article recently. published in‘
«the Dearb'orn Independent, a

writer says: “The business farmer is.

the backbone of civilization."

Gideon was thrashing near the
wine press in the vineyard to keep
the grain hid from the Midenites
Who lay in the valley to pounce
upon any grain harvested by the
Isrealltes.

The present day farmer has no
hiding place. He threshes his grain.

The stock exchange ﬁxes the price ‘

and it is "take or leave it,” and in
too many instances he has to "take
it” for he has immediate obligations
to meet.

There is a bird known as the
“Boob” that is an industrious ﬁsher,
there is another bird, the frigate,
that is a pirate, who never ﬁshes,
but when the “boob” comes in with
his pouch loaded with ﬁsh the frig-
ate bird pounces upon him and
makes him disgorge and he returns
home as empty as he went out.

Likewise, the farmer produces his
grain and the pirates in Wall Street
and elsewhere pounce upon him and
“eat 'em up" and he frequently
comes out at the end of the horn as
empty as when he started out at the
ﬁrst of the season.

What’s the remedy! Destroy the
power of the pirate by letting the
government own. and control the
currency. By some people it may be
denied that we have a private owned
and controlled currency but the fact
remains.

There are some signs of a break-
ing up along political lines. The
nominations that; have been made to
date. The fusion of parties in New
York and other surface indications.
Labor is a sleeping giant that may
roll over, rub its eyes, shake itself
and set up and take notice or cause
the candidates to take notice.

Ford has opened the eyes of the
lindustrial and railroad world and
demonstrated that labor can be paid
living wages. '

The chief trouble with corpora-
tions is that the “overhead” absorbs
the earnings and if there is any-
thing left labor can have it.——T. E. T.,
Oakland County, Mich.

 

STRIKES AS THE FARMER
STRIKES THEM
HE farmer is more of a laborer
T than a capitalist, so he does
not look at strikes with the eye
He believes in the
organization ‘of the laborers in a
common cause. He has some organ-
izations himself and is nowtrying to
perfect others. He believes that an
important effort of class organiza:
tion should be” to get fair pay for the
labor of its members, but he does
not believe that should be the only
effort. An organization in the eyes
of the farmer is not a success unless
it makes of its members better work-
ers and better citizens, as well as
gets more money for them. The can-
ning'club emblem suits him and his
organizations. He would have his
farmers’ club, Farm Bureau or other
farm’organization train the head, the
heart and the hand. He would or-
ganize to eliminate waste and in that
way would help the consumer as
well as himself.

When it comes to the walk-out the
farmers emphatically does not be—
lieve in that. He believes in planting
the crop to fit the market, but not
in starving a world to get exorbitant
prices. He accents his task as the
producer of food and would not or-
ganize to stop production to force his
point on the rest of the country. He
will try the best he can to sell what
he" grows at a profit, but he who has
not «"the heart to let the old'cast-off
horse starve or to shoot him and end
the feed bill will not use the. throttle
He will not
try to get what he thinks he ought
to have from the consumer by stop-
ping productiOn and causing misery
and starvation ahenong women and

it at too great a sacrifice to himself
and family, but he will not walk out
n0r make threats to gain his point.
Education and the elimination of un-
necessary cost of delivering farm
‘ products to consumers are the main
lines of action. Of course, planning
the crop of the country to fit the
probable demand and systematic
marketing will enter in, but this will
hurt the food speculator and not the
consumer.

He does not intend to strike and
believes that no body of workers.

bring suffering on a whole people.
He has no thought of affiliating with
the labor organizations and recent
actions of some of the unions force
the conviction that his ideals and the
ideals o". the members and leaders of
those unions are very far apart.———L.
R. Neel, Tennesee.

DOES TARIFF INCREASE
CLOTHING COST?
DITORz—Well, the tariff has
E been passed, signed and now
the great American people can
shoulder their load. Did you read
what the head of the wool growers
said? Listen:—~

“The charge that the proposed
duty will add $5 to the retail cost of
a suit of clothes is absurd. In the
first place, the duty will apply to
considerably less than half of the
domestic consumption of clothing
wools, for in 1921, 262,000,000
pounds were imported as compared
with a domestic production of 302,-
000,000 pounds. Furthermore, in
practice the price of domestic wool is
never equal to the price of the
foreign wools plus the fundamental
duty.

Secondly, the average amount of
grease wool in a suit of clothes is
only 8 pounds. Taking an average
and fair general estimate of a 50 per
cent shrinkage of the wool, the aver-
age suit of clothes contains only
about four pounds of wool, which at
the duty of 33 cents, would add an
outside maximum of $1.33 to the suit
of clothes. The fairer figure which
we are willing to admit would be pos-
sibly as much as $1 a suit that might
be added to the retail cost of a suit
of clothes by the wool tariff.”

Now, watch carefully and you will
see the clothing merchants start pull-
ing the $5 out of the “dere publik”
all right. How much advantage will
the wool growers of Michigan actual—
ly get. We shall see what we shall»
see—E. B. K., Montcalm County.

 

SHOULD MAKE IT UP TO
SOLDIERS

All our soldiers should have full
compensation for their time and risk
in the World War. Those who were
disabled should have a substantial
pensidn for life. Thousands of the
boys came home believing their jobs
were waiting for them as had been
promised. Only a very few found it
so.

Why don’t America citizens stand
together for the betterment of home
and nation and quit whining about
the- folks across the pond.—-W. C.
Anderson, Green Forest.

WHEAT PRICES AND MILL
PRODUCTS

Who gets the cream? I sold my
wheat for $1.03 a bushel I am pay-
ing $2 a hundred pounds for shorts,
$1.85 a hundred pounds for bran and
$1.10 for 24 pounds ‘of flour, grown
and milled right here. Is that not as
much of a crime as bootlegging?

We are paying our attorneysibig
salaries. They run their legs off
after bootleggers, yet leave the big
corporations unmolested.— H. G.
Myers, Morehouse, Mich.

a terrible affliction of a person

SELF-MASTER"!

ELF Mastery, thus autwsugges-
S tion, by Emile Cone, it tells
‘how to cure yourself by calling
in the sub—conscious mind as the
doctor. The cure—all is very simple,
it is just this formula, repeated
twenty times each night, aloud as
you are drifting off to sleep. "Every
day in every way, I am getting bet-
ter and better,” or “Every day in ev-
ery way, thru God’s help, I am get-
ting better.” 

, It is his theory that the sub-con—
scious mind which governs all our
organs, processes of digestion, res-
piration and circulationpwhich go
on while we sleep, can cure us of al-
most any ill if we direct it to do so.

We have to admit that our other
self manages us in many ways and so
relieves our conscious self from much’
detail, for we say, “I will wake up
at a quarter to six to-morrow morn—
ing,” and at that time we wake’from
a sound slumber, look at the time, it
is a quarter to six. Our sub-con-
scious mind has taken care of the
matter for us and is apt to be very
accurate. This happened to me just
last week. I made up my mind to
waken at just seven o’clock on the
following morning, when I wakened
I looked at my watch and it read,
7:15! "What, now I said you have
played me false”! Just then the
seven o’clock whistle blew and I
found my watch was fifteen minutes
fast but my sub-conscious mind reg~
istered central standard exactly. In
our waking hours our conscious con—
trols our conscious acts but during
sleep control is given over to the sub-
conscious. On this principle Dr.
Cone’s plan works, he puts the sub—
conscious mind at the business of re-
pair not only of our physical selves
but mental and moral as well.

Dr. Cone is a Frenchman and
holds his clinics at Nancy, France,
where its is said he makes some won-
derful cures. This is somewhat
along the line of Christian Science
and New Thought and is interesting
at least. The air is full today of
the general principle that we have
powers Within ourselves that we lit-
tle dream of. It is well to keep an
open mind. You remember we
have many miracles before us con-
tinually. Radio is just one of a dozen
things we would have called impos—
sible a few years ago. I am often
reminded of this saying by Charles
Austin Bates—“It is generally the
man who doesn’t know better who
does the things that can’t be done.
The fool doesn’t know that it can't
hendone, so he goes ahead and does

If that is so any one of us may be
glad to be in the fool class.

\VHO NEXT?
. "If a woman will. she will
You may depend on‘i.
If she won't. she won't
And there's an end on’t,

I am another farm woman that
W111 not wear long skirts again and
several of my friends say the same.
I am going to make mine either six,
seven or eight inches from the floor,
it depends upon the kind of dress.

A PATRIOTIC DUTY

F we do not take the time to get

out to the poles and vote at the

November elections then we

are neglecting to perform a very

reasonable duty to our Common-

Wealth and have no right to complain

when public matters are not man-
aged to our liking.

Unless you believe (which you
will never admit) that you have not
good judgement, then go to the polls
and use ‘your vote for the best in-
terests of your country which in the
end is nothing more nor less than
your own selfish interest. Do not
think that how you vote does not
matter. It does matter, your vote
counts just as much as that of the
President himself.

“The man or woman who fails to
vote this autumn ought to have a
white feather pinned on,” says Mrs.
Maud Wood Park, president of‘ the
National League of Women Voters.
“Such a man, such a woman, is a
slacker. In time of war there are
several ways of betraying the coun-
try; in time of peace there is one—-
failure to cast a conscientious vote.
Men and women who will not vote
are doing all they can do to destroy

elections are decided by the votes of
the minority, no country with a great
body of voters too lazy of mind to
take part in elections, is anything but
a despotism, the rule of the indif-
ferent many by the selfish few.

CARE FOR THE EARS
T is extremely dangerous for a
mother to use any hard object
‘“ with which to clean children’s
ears, such as a tooth—pick or hair-
pin. To remove wax use a little
warm water and wash the ears very
gently. It may not be generally
known that any heavy oil as hen’s or
goose oil is not safe, for it mats the
fine hairs which are in the ears for
a good purpose and makes them in-
effective. A little glycerine may be

very thankful to any one, that has
made them with success, if she would

any other kind for pin money? If
answer through the paper or write

' me.

In the summer time I raise chick-
ens and garden for pin money, but
in the winter time, when one has the
most time, I’m undecided what to
start at. Some of the readers must
have some good pin money ideas
for winter, and here’s hopeing I hear
from some of you please—Mrs. M.
Edict, Norway, Mich.

I am a reader of M. B. F. and like
it fine. I have never yet asked the
readers for any help, but am. now
about to do so. Have any of you ev-

CANNING TOMATOES

Since I am a farmer’s wife and
enjoy the farm paper, I will send in
a recipe for canning tomatoes when
ripe.

As a rule they are hard to keep
for usually they turn, sour even if
they do not work. Canned in my
way they will be as nice as if they
have been scalded, peeled and cut in

DUTCH CAKE
When Mrs. K. B. asked for a re--

cipe for Dutch Cake (Apfel Kuch— .

en), I thought I would send my re-
cipe at once but I neglected to do so,
until now. I see three sisters have
contributed, but I believe they will
relish the flavor of the apples. If
I am not too late, enclosed you will
ﬁnd the recipe as follows:

Take 1 pint of bread sponge, add
a quarter of a teaspoon of salt, Have
1—4 cup butter and 1-2 cup sugar
creamed, add to sponge. Then add
1 well beaten egg, flour, to make
soft dough. Knead lightly, let rise.
When light roll 1-2 inch thick and
place in two well greased shallow
pans. Brush with butter, sprinkle
with sugar. Pare apples and cut
into eighths (if apples are too large,
cut smaller) and press into the
sprinkle with cinnamon.
Cover and let rise about 1-2 hour.
Bake 20 minutes. Keep covered
with pan ﬁrst 10 or 15 minutes, in
order that the apples may be thor-
oughly cooked.

I prefer the Northern Spy apple,
but any tart apple Will

, JELLEY-ROLLS

‘I am a 'reader of the Michigan
Business Farmer and like it very
well, I also like the Women‘s Page.
I noticed that one of the readers
wanted a recipe for a jelly-roll, so
I will send mine.

3 eggs, 1 cup sugar, 1thls. water;
1 rounding tps. baking powder, 1
this. melted butter, 1 pinch salt.
Separate eggs. beat whites until
stiff. Add the sugar to the yolks and
butter and beat light then add the
hot water and one full cup of flour
add whites last, spread a cloth with
powdered sugar an" salt.

Filling

One cup of raisins ground. Boil
one cup of sugar with a little water
to make a syrup, add raisins and
beat in white of one egg, add pinch
of salt.

When cold potatoes boiled with

‘jackets on are hard, to peel add

boiling water to them.

Vaseline applied every night to
corns will cure them.— P. Y. K.,
Harbor Beach, Mich.

 

HOME-SPUN

A little turpentine added to starch
will prevent the iron from sticking
to the clothes.

Scorched spots on clothing may be
removed by ap lying a thick paste
made of ordin ry starch. Let the
paste dry on. More thanl? one ap-
lication may be necessary.

Turpentine will- remove paint
stains. '

Cold water removes tea—stains but
use boiling water for coffee stains.

Rust stains may be removed by
soaking in boiling rhubard juice.

For iron rust: Apply salt and
lemon juice to the spots and leave
in the sunshine until the rust disap-
pears. In obstinate cases two or
three such treatments are necessary.

Peach stains: Rub glycerine over
the spots two or three days before

laundering and they will disappear _

Fleas:

should be taken out of doors,
cleaned, and sprayed with benzine or
gasoline. The ﬂoor should be wash-
ed with soapsuds, secial attention

* being given to cracks between boards
and along baseboards, and rubbed or
sprayed with gasOline, benzine, or
kerosene.

Ink sots: Remove
goods by immersing in eroxide, then
rinsing three or more times in clear

. water before drying. The chemical
action of soap on the peroxide will
eatholes through the fabric.

These spots on colored goods will

yield to an application. of equal
parts of citric acid and cream of
tartar melted ’on a plate. Mix well,
rub over the spots and wash the

goods thoroughly after they disap-
pear.

Mildew: Rub common soap on the
spots, then work in all the starch the
soap will absorb.

Blood stains: Soap at once in cold
water; the stains will come out in
the washing and drying in the sun-
shine. / 

Grass stains: Touch the spots
with alcohol before washing.

Pitch stains: Grease with lard

' then use soap and cold water. Turp-

entine is also good for these.

Wagon or automobile grease
stains: Wash the spots well with
kerosene before laundering, the

sooner this is applied to fresh spots
the quicker it works.

Cocoa tains: Wash in cold water
ﬁrst, then pour boiling water through
the spots.

HOW TO CURE YOURSELF
BY

DR. T. N. ROGERS

 

HAIR UNDER ARMS
What Will remove hair from the arms?
-—Reader. Merrill, Mich.

Is this a general covering of hair
all over the arms or the apilla? Per-
oxide applied freely is a safe appl-
cation. It bleaches the hair and in
time destroys the roots.

BED WETTING

Please give remedy to cure a. child of
bed wetting—“Mother”

Pin worms often causes it. Treat-
ment: Give very little if anything
to drink in the evening. Elevate
the foot of the bed after the children
go to sleep. Putting it on a chair
will do. Give one teaspoonful of the
following mixture. Get from your
druggist Tinct. Belladonna,, one
teaspoonful; Tinct. Rhus. Tox., one
teaspoonful; Listria Hydrangae, four
ounces. Impress upon the child this
will cure and that they will not wet
the bet but will wake up. Sugges-
41’0n counts.

 

WORMS
What will cure a. "child of worms?
—Su’bscriber. .
Pin worms look like small pieces
of white thread and some times are
very troublesome. Give turpentine

' as forfrou'nd worms and inject into

the howsls soapsuds with turpentine,

If a room becomes infest-7
ed with fleas, the carpet or rugs-

inject about 3 teaspoonfuls and have
'it-~retained for half an hour 3 times

answer the same purpose.

Uncle Rube Spinach Says

THANKS RHODA

Y dear Rhoda:——Your recent let-

ter in M. B. T. was sure a rip-

snorter an’ I want to thank you
for the suggestions—No I ain’t read
“Behind the Mirror”-—in fact I’ve
never read much of any thing, you
see I’ve been pretty busy most of
the time an’ most of my knowledge
I’ve got in barber shops, p001 rooms
an’ blind pigs. Wuz you ever in a
blind pig or a barber shop Rhoda?
You know the knowledge dispensed
there is just wonderful! ’Course I’ve
read some books an’ the works of
great writers—for instance Host-
tetters almanac an’ Lydia E. Pink—
ham’s complete works an’ so you see
my dear Rhoda I know there’s some—
thin’ wrong with our government
but I cant b’lieve its our pres'dent——-
my shucks isn't he doin’ ‘bout all
any man can do? Gawf is the great
National game an’ ain't he doin’
his best? An’ jest think how many
times our pres’dent has to. change his
pants 80’s to have ‘em white an’ nice
for the next pic’tur, an’ then there’s
Laddie Boy~—don’t you see Rhoda
how he must be looked after ’cause
his own pict’ur has to be took every
few days so’s the papers can let the
dear people know how President
Harding an’ Laddie Boy looks like.
Mr. Pres’dent Harding would like
more power—really an’ truly he
needs it Rhoda. You see the May-
flowers or whatever his yachts
name is don’t go fast enough to
take him as far away from his job
as he wants to go so he’s goin’ to
ask for more power so’s he can get
away from all the trouble an' tur-
moil of his terrible position.

There’s lots of things Rhoda in
our political atmosphere that any
pres’dent wants to get away from.
’Course Pres’dent Harding could
prob’ly have settled things up long
ago but What wuz the hurry? It
wuz warm an' comfortable when the
miners wuz out—nobody really
needed coal there an’ the gawfin wuz
real good an’ out on the gawf
grounds a president’s picture looks
purty scrumptious an’ so he let the
strike an’ the strikers bother him
not at all. Hostetters wonderful
book of knowledge s‘ez—least I've
seen an’ heard it some where—
“work for the man that gives you a
job.” My dear Rhoda, if, as it has
been openly intimated, Wall street
gave Warren Gamalier Harding his
job why shouldn’t the said W. G. H.
work for Wall street.

For the nice things you said
about me Rhoda I thank you. I
am glad there is someone that seems
willin’ to set me right any 01’ time.
I ain’t goin’ to freeze ’cause I ain’t
a married man any more an’ I don’t
have to buy coal nor worry’, bout it
———I’m free from that kind of wor-
ry an’ that’s why I talk about our
national gawf player. Nero, we’re
told, fiddled while Rosme burned,
well our pres’dent. with a freshly

laundered conscience, plays gan
While the proﬁteers, operators an'
labor combinations fight about——

well nobody seems to know what.
Any way, my dear Rhoda you must
admit that President Harding plays a
nice game of gawf an’ this bein’ true
what else matters? Cordially Yours,
—-UNCLE RUBE.

 

OUR NEXT SENATOR’S AGE
Will you please tell me the differ-
ence in ages between Mr. Townsend
and Mr. Ferris? I have heard it
argued that Woodbridge N. Ferris is
too old to serve out his term as Sen-
ator, if elected—J. U. H., Huron Co.‘

Senator Charles E. Townsend was
born August, 15, 1856 and would
therefore be 66 years old. Ex-Gov-
ernor Woodbridge N. Ferris was born
January 6, 1853 and is therefore 69
years old. Neither of these gentle-
men are too old to serve their state
actively until the end of their six
year term as there are several mem—
bers of the senate near or past eighty
years of age, some of whom, are run-
ning for re-election on both party

GETTING RID OF THE PINE
STUMPS

The appeal from Mr. B. 0., of
Kingsley, published in a recent issue,
for information on the ‘best and
cheapest ways of getting rid of pine
stumps on cut-over land had brought
forth several interesting replies.
Let’s have some more of them for
our Experience POOL—Editor.

TO FRIEND B. 0. C.

HAVE rid some 40 a. g. pine
I stumps with dynamite but
think that where the stumps

are thick the Stilyard stump puller
is a cheaper way unless you can pur-
chase T. N. T. cheaper than 25c lb.
I had good results on clay soil with
dynamite but not on send as it takes
nearly twice as much and some times
a piece of stump did not come out.
Any questions answered
-—Jas. Dexton, Isabella county.

ANSWERING THE MAIL OF THE
STUMP FARMER
HAVE just been reading in the M.
I B. F. the wail of the “Stump”
farmer and I think he will
realize it is some job on 480 acres of
land,‘ if they are thick on the land at
Still if he goes at it right it's
not so bad as some jobs after all.,

In 1908 I removed on to 80 acres
of wild land, nota brush cut on it.
I bought one of the best cable stump
machines on the market and with the
help of one man went to work to
clearing the land.

It was in the month of June, We
moved on and we did not get any
crop in that year, but did raise our
potatoes and some corn the second
year. It was pretty slow business for
a few years trying to stump the land
and putting up all buildings one has
to have on a farm. "

I also worked for neighbors with
my stump machine and would get
helpback sometimes money which all
helped. Now I have my farm all or
nearly all stumped. There are not
many farmers in this section of the
country that are stumped. Have a
good 8 room house, barn and feed
mill, do custom grinding, sheds and
necessary out buildings. If B. O. C.,
Kingsley, Mich., will write to me I
will give him more information.—
Frank Seldon.

 

How I RID MY FARM OF STUMPS

I have just read in the M. B. F.
what B. O. C. Kingsley, Mich. writes
about his troubles with the big pine
stumps in his land. Now I have used
one of the one-man stump pullers for
two years pulling pine and other
stumps for other farmers for day
wages. I had the K hand power
stump puller, manufactured in San
Francisco, Cal. I will mention a
few advantages of the hand .puller,
ad if Mr. B. O. ,C. will send me his
full name and a 2 cent stamp I will
answer any question he‘may ask.

The hand power Stump puller can
be placed where no horse puller can
be worked, because it requiresl but
very little room and it can be worked
in wet ground where no horses could
work. and can be worked in any posi-
tion upright, and side ways and even
upside down where the cable spans
over a. Slow. I and my boy 16 years
of age have pulled pine
measuring 3 ft. across the top, the

machine has power enough to break,

a 7-8 inch steel cable, but I think
it is best to use some dynamite to
split the big stumps and then pull

the piecesforit is very. hard ,to,

WHY NOT GROW MORE PMA-
TOES TO THE ‘ACRE?—'\.
(Continued from page 4)

Maine grower twice as much to grow ‘   as

potatoes as it does the Michigan
grower, although. we all know that it
doesn’t. Let us assume that it cost
the Montcalm county grower $46
per acre to raise 92 bushels of pota-
toes.
bushel he breaks even. But if it
costs the Aroostook grower thrice as
much or $92 to grow an acre of po-
tatoes and he raises 252 bushels at
50 cents a bushel he .receives 34
cents a bushel more than it cost him
to grow them. Therefore, he is
making money and as long as he can
raise 252 bushels to the acre he will
continue to make money with pota‘
toes at 550 cents a bushel, and the
Montcalm grower will have to in-
crease his acre-yield or turn'to other
crops. .

There is not a single good reason
why the farmers of any of the Mich-
igan counties mentioned or ofvmosi.
of the other counties cannot increase
their acre—yield. As a matter of hard
fact, they must increase it or go Out
of the potato game. All indications
point to a long era of low potato
prices and farmers who cannot raise
more than 90 bushels to the acre will
have to quit.

At one time the farmers .of Mont-
calm and of Kent counties raised as
many bushels to the acre as the

farmers of Osecola and Grand Trav-

erse. But that was when their land
was newer. The day is coming, un-
less more scientific methods are
adopted, when the farmers of Os-
ceola, Grand Traverse and others of
the more northerly counties will drop
back into the Montcalm and Kent
class and the farmers of these coun-
ties will be producing even less than
they'are today.

Many years ago the farmers of
Maine learned the lesson which the
farmers of Michigan must some day
learn. They exhausted the fertility
of the soil just as our farmers in
Michigan are doing, and grim neces-
sity forced them to replace some of
the fertility which they had taken
from the soil. And today, by follow-
ing scientific methods of conserving
and rstoring fertility to the soil, they
are prducing far more potatoes to the
acre than when their land was virgin.

 “ M. s. F. B. BUYS FEED

 retro and which is
v v through ,local co-operative associa-

FOR MEMBERS

' I I ICHIGAN State Farm ,Bureau

members are buying their
winter supply of dairy rations

' through a Co—oeperative Feed Buying

Service organized by the Farm Bu-
taking orders

'tions from September 5 to October

20.. The Bureau is purchasing feed-

k-stui‘fs at favorable prices and will

deliver them ready mixed in equal
monthly Shipments during the wint—
er. Members contracting .feedmare
not investing any cash, according to
local co—operative associations, but
will pay for the feed as it is deliv-

., ered.

The Farm Bureau Service is on a
25% protein public formula dairy

ration developed by the Farm Bu-

reau and called Michigan Farm Bu—
reau Milkmaker. The ration is made
up entirely from the milk producers’
'viewpoint—to get the most money
for the least investment in feed. The
ration has the approval of the Mich—
igan Agricultural~College Dairy De-

' pertinent. '

The Farm Bureau's public formu-
la is a new idea in feed marketing.
Every bag of the Farm Bureau’s feed
carries on the regular analysis tag

'the exact number of pounds of the

'milk producing ingredients in the
feed and shows that the ration car-
ries no filler. This enables the dairy-
man to tell exactly what he is pay-
ing for, says the Farm Bureau. 0
' The Farm Bureau is buying M. F.
B. Milkmaker ingredients in quantity
at times of low seasonal prices as
determined by records of previous
years and when in the opinion of the
best postetd experts the” markets
look right.

The State Farm Bureau is offering
feed buying service to members on
the basis that farmers and their co-
operative associations will form local
Feed Buying Service Units on their
winter dairy .feed .needs and will
sign contracts to buy definite quant-
ities of the Farm Bureeau feed for
monthly shipment from October 20
to the following March 20.

Headquarters of Feed Buying Ser-
vice are at the State Farm Bureau
at Lansing. The local Feed Buying
service campaign opened Septem-
ber-5 and closes October 20. ‘

SPUD GROWERS WANT LOWER
CATTLE FREIGHT RATES
ONTINUA'I‘ION of efforts to ob-

tain lower freight rates on po-
tatoes to Cincinnati and other

A points in that territory was discussed

at the annual meeting of “the Mich-
igan Potato Shippers“ association,
Sept. 23rd.

'Accordng to shippers, Wisconsin
has an advantage of five cents in
freight rates for a longer haul and
this results in keepingIMichigan po-
tatoes out of those markets in a
considerable degree. \ .

The new tariff, it was stated, adds
one cent per 100'yards to cost of
sacking material, which ultimately

\Jvill be absorbed by the farmer.-The

matter of the freight rates was heard
at an interstate Commerce Commis-

sion hearing here last February but

potato shippers said that while a de-
cision favorable to Michigan was in-
timated, no action has yet been taken
to their knogledge.

NORWEGIAN CO-OPERATORS RE-
PORT REMARKABLE
~ PROGRESS
DESPITE the severe industrial de-
pressions in Northern Europe,
the achievements of the Nor-
wegian Cooperative movement dur-
ing..the past year, reported at its re-‘
cent National Cooperative Congress,
indicate a remarkable expansion both
of cooperative banking and consum-'
ers’, cooperative sto_res.
'_ The two national cooperative bod-
ies in Norway, the Samvirkecentral-
en, composed of agricultural cooper-

,atives, and the Norges Kooperative

Landsforening, founded by the city

Uworkers‘ and consumers, new cover
' over 3,000 'localcooperatives,with a

gmhership in excess of 130.000
"reaching nearly

, in excess of

 

wegian Cooperative Union’s Whole-
sale Society shows annual business
21,000,000 crowns,
backed by a reserve fund of half. a
million crowns and a banking de-
pprtment with deposits in excess of
3,000,000 crowns. _

In addition to this large wholesale

.business, the Norwegian cooperators’

retail societies report an annual
turnover of 110,000,000 crowns, on
which a saving of 12,000,000 crowns,
or 11.37 per cent was made for the
cooperators. ,.
In addition to their stores and
banks, the Norsk cooperators conduct
a thriving insurance company, Sam-
virke, founded in January, 1922. It
writes fire, marineﬂ burglary and
liability insurance, and has opened
agencies in connection with the co-
operative banks throughout Norway.
The cooperators also own 71 factor-
ies, making their own boots and
shoes, meat products, flour, butter,
clothing, and knit goods.
Cooperation is a business proposi-
tion, but it is something more,—-—it
is a moral ideal asserting the broth-
er hood of man and daring to make a
practical application of this ideal in
the business world.

 

CREAMERY MANAGERS ARREST-
ED FOR LAW VIOLATIONS
E wonder how many farmers
know that there is a law on
the Michigan statute books
which requires all creameries to
pasturize all the skim milk and other
milk products sent back to the farm-

ers to be fed to stock. Well, there -

is. And recently the managers of
three Ottawa county creameries were
hauled into court for failing to con-
form to the statute. All three ad-
mitted the offense and two of them
paid fines and costs, but the third
appealed. He based his appeal on the
argument that the law is a discrima-
nation between-the creameries that
fail to paseutrize their milk and the
indvidual who separates his own
milk and feeds it to his own cattle.
The latter is not required to pasteur-
ize the skim milk and the creamery
manager thinks that is discrimina-
tion and will test out the law. The
creamery manager furthemore claims
that pasteurized skim milk rots and
that it poisons the cattle.

The purpose of the law? Pre-
sumably to help curb the spread of
tuberculosis among Michigan cattle.
If you have a grievance against your,
local creamery manager and he’s sell-
ing skim milk without being pas—
teurized, here’s a way to 'get even.
Have him arrested.

 

SUPPLY FOR THE
KITCHEN
T a cost of a very few dollars

an ingenious arrangement for

furnishing running water to
the kitchen of the most humble
home, may be provided. Three feet
above the floor, on the outside of
the building, erect a platform
against the wall, and on this set a
large barrel. It is best to place the
barrel where rin water from the
down spout can be turned into it.
In addition to this supply, provision
should be made for ﬁlling the bar-
rel by means of a hose attached to
the pump spout, if the well is near
the house. To insure a plentiful
supply it will be found desirable to
have two or more barrels, connect—
ed by short pieces of pipe near the
bottom. These mav be set on one
long scaffold extending along the
outside of the house. It will be nec-
essary to provide the inlet and out-
let for only one of the barrels.
Pumping the barrel full at one time
instead of going to the well for wa-
ter as it is needed, will‘usually be
found to be a saving of time. The
barrels should be kept covered to
keep out dust and trash. A short
piece of pipe with faucet at the end
extﬁnds through the wall above the

THE GREAT BELL OF ATRI

HE village of Atri had a. great hell that was run: only in time of need.
For years it had been unused. for Atri was pronpn-oud and content. Its
rope, covered with green vines. trailed to the ground. One day a starving ..
horse turned out to shift for himself seized the green tendrils in his teeth. "~

The bell above him began to ring, attention was called to the predicament of the
poor beast. and he became a well—fed ward of the town.

WILD CARROTS NOT POISONOUS
Will you please inform me if wild
carrots will hurt cows or sheep in hay
after it is cured? I have heard say they
will while green. — Reader, Petoskey.
Mich. .
Wild corrots in hay are not poi-
sonous to either cattle or sheep.
There are same plants closely re-
sembling the wild carrot which will
prOVe poisonous. If you have much
of this material in your hay and are
not absolutely sure that it is the
wild carrot it would be best for
you to send a few samples of the
material to Dr. E. A. Bessey of the
Botanical Department, Michigan Ag-
ricultural College, who will identi-
fy the weed present and inform you
as to whether or not they are dan-
gerous—Geo. A. Brown, Prof. of
Animal Husbandry, M. A. C...

"‘ CARROTS IN SILO
Is it advisable for me to put carrots
with my corn fodder in silo, the corn
having two ears on a stalk. Would
rather put the carrots in the silo than
pit them as I am short of cellar room.—G.

B., Luzerne. Mich. .
Carrots could be preserved by
adding them to the corn silage As

it is run into the silo only a small
proportion should be used, however,
as they contain too much moisture
to make a good quality of silage. It
would also be necessary to exercise
considerable care in cleaning the
carrots so that there would not be
too much dirt get into the silage
along with corn, you should have at
least three times as much corn, as
you have carrots and the carrots
should be Well distributed through
the corn silage. It would not be
well to runin alternatingjoads as
in this way the carrots and corn
would not be well mixed—Geo. A.

GRADE COWS TO BE SHOWN’ 111‘
NATIONAL EXPOSITION

VIDENCE in the flesh that good
E cows pay will be the keynote
of the National Dairy Expos-
ition to be held at the Twin Cities,
October 7-14. Proving the slogan,
“Prosperity Follows The Dairy
Cow,” a score of cow testing as-
sociations and scores of individual
farmers wll exhibit at the Ex-
position grade cows with established
production records.

For the ﬁrst time in the history of
the National Dairy Exposition, the
bars have been let down and grades,
if sired by thoroughbred animals will
be admitted to the exhibit and the
prizes oﬁered will be similar, class
by class, to thosevoffered for pure-

breds. Several of the exhibits will
be sold at auction after they are
judged.

This innovation, it is pointed out
by Col. W. E. Skinner, Secretary and
general Manager of the Exposition,
“is fundamentally in accord with the
high purpose of the Dairy Expos-
ition in attempting to show that
profits increase in proportion to the
breeding.

“We have been encouraged to do
grade cattle among the farmers of
the Northwest, following the Nation-
al Dairy Exposition of 1921, held at
St. Paul and Minneapolis. Anticipat-
ing an even livelier demand follow-
ing the 1922 shows some provision
must be made so that Show visitors
are enabled to see for themselves
some of the resultsvobtained from
grade cows and thereby be able to

,judge what they are getting when.

they buy animals ~for their own
farms.”- . . .
.Wisconsin Iowa, Minnesota,

Michigan and North Dakota already
are represented in the exhibitors of
grade cattle. The new classification
of the Dairy Association provides
that all such cows must have cow
testing association records and must
be sired by pure bred bulls. In the
ﬁrst class will be cows having pro-
duction records of 500 pounds or
more of butter fat 8. year the second
class taking in cows whbse records
are 350 to 500 pounds. -

The third class comprises groups
of ﬁve cows each, the quintette com-
Ing from a single testing associa-
tion; the fourth includes groups of
four cows sired by one registered

 

     

bull and the award in the ﬁfth class ‘
will be made to. the champion ‘pro'-"

ducing grade cow sired by a thor-
oughbred and an association
record. Among the Association ex-
hibits sent by the various states Will
be one consisting of ﬁfty grade
cows from Wisconsin demonstrating
how the production of daughters
over dams have been increasediby
purebred sires. The Wisconsin ex-
hibit is being arranged by Prof. 
L. Hatch of the University'of Wis-
consin and will be limited to cows
with records of 360 pounds of but-
terfat produced in one year.
Exhibits from-“Minnesota will in-
clude a dozen grade cows sired by
purebred Jerseys, built up on a
foundation of ordinary scrub cows
by George Christianson of Plain-
view. The exhibit represents sev—
eral generations and as
has been part of the Plainview El-
gin Cow Testing Association for
some years, it is accompanied by

definite ﬁgures on what various an- "

imals have earned, together with
the cost of production.

This is all in keeping with the
efforts now being made by _the
Northwest to establish itself on a
permanent, sound agricultural basis
with the dairy cow as the basic
unit. Last year, the National Dairy
Exposition was taken to the North-
west at the solicitation of agricul-
tural leaders, farmers and business
men who believed that it could be
made the symbol of renaissance of
agriculture in that section of the
country. According to members of
the various committee on promo-

“tion, with headquarters in the Twin

the recognition of the part
the grade cow must play in the
movement will mean new inspira-V
tion to the farmers of the whole

Cities,

, territory.

SILO ON THE LIST

ROGRESSIVE farmers who are

planning improvements for the

coming year will have a silo on
the list. We are much behind in
our building program both in the
city and on the farm, and equip-
ment of all kinds is greatly needed
to facilitate proper and economic
production. .

The stock-keeper, especially the
dairyman, has proven again that his
business is economic and sure of a
proﬁt. He has demonstrated repeat-
edly that to market grain and forage
thru the cow is not only a saving
but gives the largest returns 'for his
acres. This has stimulated the stud:
business, and alt supplies for the in-
dustry will be in good demand.

In a recent investigation by the
Department of Agriculture it was
found that the prosperity of a com-
munity could largely be determined
by the number of cows that they
kept. Comparing crop farming
sections with dairy communities it
was found the ’bank deposits per
capita of the dairy section were
nearly twice those of the crop grow-
ing. In communities where dairy
farming is the leading industry there
is little concern over the hard times.
People generally have good bank ac-
counts, there is plenty of money for
those who wish to borrow, and as
the result of a cash paying plan a
prosperous condition prevails.

The silo is going to be one of the
ﬁrst buildings considered, for it no
longer is an experiment, but has
been paying big dividends these
many years. The silo comes nearer
paying 100 per cent than any other
structure on the farm; Many reli-
able ﬁgures are shown where it has
paid for itself in a single season,
and ‘the experienced feeder would
count it a calamity to give up his
silo.

So many experiments have been
conducted by our stations and col-
l‘e-ges that it seems almost useless
to quote them, for practically all of
them have demonstrated the econ-
omy of the silo in all sections of the
country. Summing up these experi-
ments, concusions point to the fact

that a. silo will save a dairy farmer 1

ten cents or more on every pound
of butterfat produced and forty
cents on one hundred pounds of
milk, one dollar / on a’ hundred
pounds of beef. and one dollar and

that if possible you consult your

NOT OBLTGED TO BUILD BRIDGE

drain commissioner? A ditch running

drain commissioner made deeper and
Wider to the extent of 2 feet Wide about
18 to 20 feet deep Is the commissioner
not supposed to give me a bridge?
About 120 rods of fence was taken down,

which provides for the construction
of a bridge across a drain unless the

HEREFORDS AVERAGE NEARLY

$200 PER HEAD

The Hereford auction held on Sep-
tember 1st at the fair grounds, Bad
Axe, Michigan, under the auspices of
T. F.1B. Sotham & Sons proved to be
very‘ successful in spite of the fact
that it began to rain early in the
morning and continued throughout
the sale. The crowd was large and
apparently most of those to attend
were there to buy as the bidding
was lively and animals were quicklv
The average made on the
females was nearly $200 with the top
sale at $250. Mr. Lee Soper of Bad
Axe purchased Berna Fairfax, No.
739798BC, for $250 and later paid
the same amount for Star Beauty,
No. 643,524HC. The bulls sold for
from $105 to $155. i

POULTRY TOUR CONDUCTED
THIS WEEK

ITH “Buy Michigan Chicks” as

their slogan the. Michigan

1 Chick Hatcher’s Association

puts on its ﬁrst annual tour of south-

western Michigan starting September

27th ﬂnishing up on September
29th. The tour starts from the
Michigan Agricultural College at
East Lansing at noon Wednesday,

September 27 and ends at Lakewood
Farm, Ottawa County, where the
Association holds a meeting and en-
tertainment. The party will visit
the largest and best poultry farms
and hatcheires in that section. :

The members assemble at the Col—
lege Wednesday at 10:30 where
short talks are given by Pres. Friday,
Dean Shaw and R. J. Baldwin after
which they immediately leave for
Charlotte, Battle Creek and Kalama-
zoo. Three stops are made between
East Lansing and Kalamazoo and it
is at the later place where the tour—
ists spend the night. They leave
Kalamazoo at 7:00 in the morning
going to Bangor and after several
stops enroute to visit farms they ar-
rive at there in time for dinner.
From there they go to South Haven
where they spend Thursday night.
Friday morning the party starts at
7:00 a. m. on the last, day of their
tour. On this day their visits cover
farms and hatcheries around James-
town, Zeeland and Holland. As a
special feature for those who desire
to attend on Saturday morning, Sep-
tember 23, at 9 o’clock Prof. Fore-
man of the M. A. C. will conduct a
poultry culling school at the city hall
in Zeeland. This will be done so that
each hatchery man can get points on
culling so that each can go out and
cull the flocks from which eggs are
bought. Mr. C. J. DeKoster of Zee-
land who is secretary of the Ass’n
expects the tour to be a, big success
in every way. And Mr. DeKoster be-
ing the proprietor of one of the larg-
est, poultry farms and hatchcries in
this state is in a position to know.
A complete repmt cf the tour will be
given in our next issue.

DO NOT GRIND WHEAT HALF
CHAFF

I have a chance to buy wheat that is
half chest. Is there any food value in
it if ground for poultry? —J.B. L., Dav—
ison, Mich.

We would not advise the grinding
of wheat that is carrying 50 per
cent chaff. While it will have con-
siderable feeding value the high
percentage of indigestiblc ﬁbre
Would greatly lower the feeding val—
ue, decrease the palatability and
cause too much bulkiness. If this
subscriber desires to use the Wheat
and chaff as an ingredient in the
dry mash I would suggest reducing
the bran content and also the
ground oats because otherwise the
poultry would not relish the mash
that is so fibrous. In adding the
ground wheat and chaff it would be
advisable to mix with corn meal,
middlings and meat scraps, equal
parts by weight. Grain, however,
is so reasonable now that it would
be a wiser method to have this
wheat sifted—E. C. Foreman, As-
sociate Professor of Poultry 'Hus—
bandry. M. A. C.

INCREASING EGG PRODUCTION
IN GENERAL-PURPOSE BREEDS
HE best mash for stimulating
T egg production in hens of gen-
eral-purpose breeds, such as the
Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes,
according to experiments carried on
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, is one that is not so
rich in corn meal and meat scrap as
those frequently fed to Leghorns.
On the department’s poultry farm
at Beltsville, Md., the best results
with general—purpose hens were ob—
tained with a mash containing only
18 per cent of meat scrap with con-
siderable ground oats and wheat
bran. The entire mixture is made

up in the proportion of 3 parts of

corn meal, 1 part of bran, 1 1-2

.6 per cent of linseed meal.

‘ing the best results with the

parts of meat scrap, 1 part of.mid--
dlings, 2 parts ofground oats, and,

  

“test on page 11.

As Ia.
result of using this feed the hens
produced a good yield of, eggs, but
did not become overfat and were in
good breeding condition.

Leghorns and other breeds of the

samé type can use a heavier and
more stimulating ration without
endangering their physical condi-

tion and the hatching quality of the
eggs. The mash that has been giv-
de—
partment’s Leghorn flock is made
up of 4 parts bran, 4 parts midd-
lings, 66 parts corn meal, and 26
parts of meat scrap. Barred Ply-
mouth Rock pullets fed on this
heavy mash laid a few more eggs
than pullets of the same breed fed
on the ﬁrst mash, but they suffered
in health and their eggs were low—
er in fertility. -

Among the vegetable proteins fed
to poultry the department has found
that gluten meal seems to be the
best, although cotton seed and pea-
nut meal are very satisfactory if
supplemented with animal protein
in the form of meat scrap, tank-
age, ﬁsh meal, or milk, and with
mineral salts. For good results
the vegetable proteins should not
exceed 10 per cent of the total mash
Tests have sh'own that a good
grade of ﬁsh meal is practically as
good as meat scrap or high-grade
tankage.

 

TURKEY BREEDS

HIRTY—fl‘WO years after Colum—
T bus discovered America our na-

tive wild turkey was imported
into Europe. There it was domesti-
cated, and thence has come our d0—
mestic turkey. Wild turkeys are
still found in our southern swamps
and in Mexico. They are still crossed
with domestic stock to restore vigor
to the later.

The Bronze turkey is the largest,
as well as .the most popular, of all
breds,, and most nearly resembles
the wild turkey. The standard adult
cock weighs 36 pounds; the young
cockerel, 25; the hen, 20; the pullet,
16. Showier specimens far exceed
these weights.

The male of this breed should be
richly, brilliant, golden bronze as to
neck, back, breast and wing surfaces.
Wing flights when spread are black,
with White barring across each feath-
er, most regular in the better birds.
The tail is black, with parallel brown
transversing lines, each feathered
with white, not with red or rusty tips
in the better birds. The hen is like
the male in color except for white
or gray edging on each feather of the
breast, body, wings and back.

The White Holland turkey is a
“sport” from the bronze. The cock
of standard size Weighs 28 pounds;
the cockerel, 20; the hen, 18; the
pullet, 14. They are reputed the best
layers among turkeys, the most do-
cile, and less roving than the bronze,
better suited to limited range than
that variety. All their plumage is
White except the black beard of the
male.

Bourbon Reds are a breed of

turkeys first noted as wild birds,

They are dark red
parts, bordering on brown, with
white wings and tails; their under
parts are of buff, running out to
nearly white. The feathers have a
blue sheen when shifted in the sun-
light. The standard cock weighs
30 pounds; the cockerel, 22; the
hen, 18; the pullet, 14. They are
said to be a very hardy breed.

Female turkeys reach full growth
at 2 years of age; males at 3. Hens
from 2 to 5 years old should be bred
to toms from 2 to 3 years of age.
Never breed related birds, for the
death rate among the pullets will be
high. For market birds breed from
medium-sized birds, plump but not
fat, ﬁne in bone, active, vigorous. For
exhibition stock breed from the birds
of largest frame. From 10 to 15
hens may be mated to a male.—

THE HUNTED WOMAN '

1 (Continued from page 7)

_, up suddenly and caught his eyes up—
on her. .

“I came quite by accident,” she
- explained quickly. “I wanted 'to be
alone, and Mrs. Otto said this path
would lead to the river. When I
say? You I was abou' to turn back.
And then I saw the otlIer——the horses
coming down the stream It was
'terrible. Are they all drowned?"

“All that you saw it wasn't a
pretty sight, was it? ' There was a
suggestive inquiry in his voice as he
added, “If you had gon- io Tete
Jaune you would have missed the un-
pleasantness of the spectacle.“

“I would have gone. l)'l‘2 something
happened. They say it was a cave—in,
a slide—something like that The
train cannot go on until to-morrow.”

“And you are to stay with the Ot—
tos?’

She nodded.
Quick as a flash she had seemed
to read his thoughts. I

“I am sorry,” she added, before he
couldspeak. “I can see that I have
annoyed you. I have literally pro—
jected myself into your work, and I
am afraid that I have caused you
trouble. Mrs. Otto has told me of
this man they call Quade. She says
he is dangerous. And I have made
him your enemy.”

“I am not afraid of Quade. The
incident was nothing more than an
agreeable interruption to what was
becoming a rather monotonous ex—
istence up here. I have always be—
lieved, you know, that a certain
amount of physical excitement is
good oil for our mental machinery.
That, perhaps, was why you caught
me hauling at His Soltship’s car."

He had spoken stiffly. There was
a hard ote in his voice a suggestion
of something that was displeasing
in his forced laugh. He knew that
in these moments he was fighting
against his inner self—against his
desire to tell her how glad he was
that something had held back the
Tete Jaune train_ and how wonderful
her hair looked in the afternoon
sun. He was struggling to keep
himself behind the barriers he had
built up and so long maintained in
his writings. And yet, as he looked,
he felt something crumbling into
ruins. He knew that he had hurt
her. The hardness of his words, the
cold‘hess of his smile, his apparently
utter indifference to her had sent
something that was almost like a
quick, physical pain into her ey'es.
He drew a step nearer, so that he
caught the soft contour of her
cheek. Joanne Gray heard him, and
lowered her head slightly, so that he
could not see. She was a moment
too late. On her check Aldous saw
a; single creeping drop—a tear.

In an instant he was at her side.
with a quick movement she brushed
the tear away before she faced him.

“I’ve hurt you, and God knows I’m
a brute for doing it. I’ve treated you
as badly as Quade—only in a differ-
ent way. I know how I’ve made you
feel—that you’ve been a nuisance,
and have got me into trouble, and
that I don’t want to have anything
more to do with you. Have I made
you feel that?”

“I aim afraid—you. have.”

He reached out a hand, and almost
involuntarily her own came to it. She
saw the change in his face, regret,
pain, and then that slow—coming,
wonderful laughter in his eyes.

“That’s just how I set out to make
you feel," he confessed, the warmth
of her hand sending a thrill through
him. “I might as well be frank,
don’t you think? Until you come I
had but one desire, and that was to
finish my book. I had planned great
work for to-day. And you spoiled
it. I couldn’t get you out of my
mind. And it made me—ugly.”

“And that was—all?” she whisper-
ed, a tense waiting in her eyes. “You
didn’t think———”

“What Quade thought,” he hit in
sharply. The grip of his fingers
hurt her hand. “No, not that. My
God, I didn’t make you think that?”

“I’m a stranger——and they say
women,don’t go to Tete Jaune
alone,” she answered doubtfully.

I “That’s true, they don’t—~not as
'a general rule. Especially women

you had had a husband, a brother or

haven’t. You have made me change
my mind about my book. You are
of more interest to me just now than
that. Will you believe me‘?’ Will
you let me be a friend, if you need a
friend?”

To Aldous it seemed that she drew
herself up a little proudly. For a
moment she seemed taller. A rose—
ﬂush of colour spread over her
cheeks. She drew her hand from
him. And yet, as she looked at him,
he could see that she was glad.

“Yes, I belieVe you,” she said.
“But I must not accept your oﬁer
of friendship. You have done more
for me now than I can ever repay.
Friendship means service, and to
serve me would spoil your plans, for
you are in great haste to complete
your book.” -

“If you mean that you need my as—
sistance, the book can wait.”

“I shouldn’t have said,” she cut
in quickly, her lips tightening slight—
ly. “It was utterly absurd of me to
hint that I might require assistance
+~that I cannot take care of myself.
But I shall be proud of the friend-
ship of John Aldhous.”

“Yes, you can take care of your-
self. Ladygray," said Aldous softly,
looking into her eyes and yet speak-
ing as if to himself. “That is why
you have broken so curiously into
my life. If that—and not your beau-
ty. I have known beautiful women
before. But they were—just women,
frail things that might snap under
stress. I have always thought there
is only one woman in ten thousand
who believe you are that one in ten
thousand. You can go on to Tete
.Iaune alone. You can go auvwhere
alone—and care for yourself.”

He was looking at her so strangely
that she held her breath, her lips
parted, the ﬂush in her cheeks deep—
ening.

“And the strangest part of it all is
that I have always known you away
back in mv imagination,” he went
on. “You have lived there, and have
troubled me. I could not construct
you perfectly. It is almost incon-
ceivable that you should have borne
the same name—Joanne. Joanne, of
‘Fair Play.’ ” ‘

She gave a little gasp.

“Joanne was — terrible,” she
cried. “She was bad—bad to the
heart and soul of her!”

“She was splendid,” replied
Aldous, without a change in his quiet

TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW
HE early part of last week a
hundred thousand men, most of
them living in Michigan, were
facing the prospect of a winter with-
out a job. Henry Ford closed down
his gigantic enterprises and an-
nounced they would not run again
until coal became more plentiful and
prices became lower. The shuts
down of the Ford plant cast a gloom
over the country. It was felt that
Mr. Ford was setting a dangerous
precedent which other manufactur-
ers might follow in their “strikes”
against the profiteering coal mine
operators. A general shut—down of
manufactories would have been little
short of a calamity not only to the
workmen but also to the farmers.
But the Ford “strike” was short-
lived. Ford got his coal at 'the price
he thought he ought to pay and last
week Thursday the Wheels of his
great factories were again set in mo-
tion.
Although there is still some un-

employment and farmers’ prices are '

very much below the level of other
prices the country looks forward to
the coming winter with the least ap-
prehension of several years. Auto—
mobile manufact/urers are months be-
hind with their orders and with some
exceptions, they anticipate they will
be able to run at full capacity the
entire winter. Building has been ac-
tive all summer long and is still and
if the weather permits the building
projects the next few months are ex-
pected to exceed those of the last
three years for the same period.

The partial settlement of the
strikes, the President’s veto of the
soldier bonus bill, and the promise
of some slight reduction in state and
local taxes have all combined to
create a more confident feeling in
the future. "

The still discouraging feature of
the economic situation is the low
level of farm product prices, but
even these are showing surprising
tendencies to advance. We know
of nothing that could happen to add
more to the general prosperity and
contentment of the nation than a 25
to 50 per cent increase in farm com-
modity prices.

WHEAT

The wheat market had a merry
time of it last week due to a general
belief that war was imminent be-
tween Turkey and England. The
memory of what the last great war
did to the Wheat market is still fresh
in the minds of the traders who
cleaned up fortunes in that period
and the slightest hint of war between
European nations causes a consider-
able flurry in the wheat market. Al-
though as we go to press actual war-
fare still seems remote, the wheat
market is from five to seven cents
above the low of the previous week
in the primary markets, but there
has been little if any effect upon the
local markets.

Frankly, the immediate wheat out—
look does not look good to us. We
do not expect to see a long draan out
war between Turkey and Great
Britain, and while a few skirmishes
may send up the price of wheat for
the time being it will take more than
the exchange of a little fire to cause
any substantial and permanent
changes in the market. We believe
a good deal of the activity that took
place in wheat last week can be dis-
counted as speculative. Virtually no
other influence appeared to warrant
the advance in prices.

On the contrary nearly all the
news last week and this is of a bear-
ish nature. An English statistician
declares there are over a hundred
million more bushels of wheat in
sight than the world has- need of.
Even if the statement is true, which
we doubt, it offers no occasion for
. alarm.

The wheat grower must remember
that in normal times the various
countries of the world carry over
several hundred million bushels in
their granaries to provide against
crop failure. The carry—over was
sadly depleted by the war, and very
few reserves have’been laid up since.

Unless the threatened hostilities

MARKET SUMMARY

Wheat makes small gain. Corn steady. Oats unchanged. Rye
declines. Beans firm. Eggs higher and butter ﬁrm and higher.
Potatoes steady. Poultry inactive. No demand for dressed calves.
Receipts of fruit large and market easy. Cattle shows little activ-
ity but mostly dull. Hogs steady. Sheep unchanged.

was received AFTER the balance of the mar-
information up to within one-half hour of

 

 

between Britain and Turkey reach
proportions which we do not antici-
pate we look for an early drop in
wheat prices to be followed by an ex-
tended period of even prices. Wheat
may again drop to below a dollar a
bushel before the next crop, but we
doubt it. The rush of wheat to mar-
ket has been stemmed somewhat by
the rising trend of prices and with
fewer supplies the market should
show a better tone. Wheat prices
are considered too low by all con-
cerned and the violent fluctuations
of last week show that it doesn’t
take much to send prices up.

CORN

The corn market has enjoyed a
rather healthy, tone the past couple
of weeks and at the close of last
week prices on the Detroit market
were higher than they had been for
several weeks. Reports from Chi-
cago show a fair amount of corn
for exporting was taken from that
market last week, shipping sales for
the week, including domestic, aggre—
gating 2,500,000 bu. Receipts have
been liberal the past. fortnight but
the movement continued to be re-
stricted by the shortage of cars. De-
mand has been stimulated by the ac-
tion of wheat and the war-like news
coming from Europe but the talk of
peace reaching this country on the
opening of the current week caused
the market to weaken on the open-
ing day and prices turned lower. The
prices on the Detroit market were
1 1—2 cents lower at the close of the
day, while the decline at Chicago
amounted to only one—half cent.

Regarding “the future of corn a
market expert in Chicago says that
this grain is governed in the end al-
most entireiy by domestic conditions,
the amount going abroad being rela-
tively insignificant in comparison
with the crops. “We know that the
total supply of corn for the country\
is at least 300,000,000 bushels or
more less than last year. The govern-
ment September report showed 60,-
500,000 hogs on farms compared with
56,000,000 last year. Here is a fact-
or of greater importance as far as
the disappearance of corn is con-
cerned than the export sale of 10,—
000,000 bushels or more grain.” He
goes on to say, “A high price for
corn never hurt the consumer and
simply booms general business.”

Reports from cornbelt show the
crop in most cases out of danger of
frost.

OATS

For ‘the reasons which it is not
eaSy’ to understand cats have shown
some strength the past few weeks
and prices are somewhat higher than
we anticipated they would be at har-
vest/time. It is apparent that the
inﬂuence of the enormous crop of
1920 has about run its course and

RYE
Practically the same tone that has
prevailed in the wheat, corn and oat
markets during the past fortnight
also ruled the rye market. The de—
cline in prices on the opening day
of the current week took place in
rye as Well as other grains. The
Detroit market reported a decline
of 1c and the prices on the Chicago
market dropped from 1 1-2c to 2c.

BEANS

A most unusual thing has hap-
pened in the bean market. Prices
have advanced from 25 to 75 cents
per cwt, during the very height of
the marketing season, and in the
face of one of the biggest crops
which Michigan farmers have pro-
duced for a long time. The drastic
decline in bean prices which was
registered from about the ﬁrst of
August to the middle of September
was most discouraging to Michigan
bean growers who had begun to hope
that prices would remain at a fairly
high level and enable them to re-
cuperate their losses of the last few
years. The eﬁorts to bear down the
market was for a time successful,
but with every elevator and farm
bin empty and farmers not over anx—
ious to contract their new crop, the
bears were soon routed and the fact
that there was a substantial advance
in prices at a time when the change
is normally downward gives us good
reason to hope that prices on the en-
tire crop will be stabilized at not
less than $5 per cwt.

The more reputable jobbers ap—
pear to be anxious to do everything
they can to help the grower get a
good price this year, but of course
there are black sheep among the job-
bers just as there are among the
farmers who will take advantage of
a situation for their immediate gain,
without thought to the future. If
these fellows can be kept in leash,
and the farmers will use a little
judgement in selling their crop, they
will not, we feel, be disappointed in
the returns.

POTATOES

Wet weather and early frosts have
damaged the Michigan potato crop to
quite an extent, and we would not be
surprised to see the October estimate
for Michigan take a drop of several
million bushels. The ' September
estimate indicated a crop for Michi-
gan of over 36 million bushels but

we hardly think that, actual digging r ‘

will produce that many potatoes.

suﬂidiently large to w

 j CHICAGO BUTTER MARKET
The butter market ruled ﬁrm
Monday, Sept. 25. Quality of cur-
‘rent receipts was better but the de-
mand for ﬁne butter-was sufﬁcient
to clean up the supply, and some
of the more critical buyers were forc-
ed to pay a slight premium} for
' goods to suit their needs. Medium
grades were a trifle slow and deal—
ers were rather anxious to move
these grades, but the supply was not
burdensome. Undergrades were
scarce and in good demand. Cen-
tralized were slow and. irregular.

 

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK MARKET
Widening of the price range feat-
-‘ured, the beef ,steer market during
’iast‘ week. Choice and prime steers
were scarce as compared with the
urgent demand,vand values climbed
daily until the peak was reached
,. on Friday, when practically all steer

_ , before last. There was 'a certain
' - 2 ' ' class of steers selling around $10.50,
- ' ' slightly below and sight‘ly above that
ﬁgure, which was considered about
,_ steady with a week previous, but
J , 1 these selling downward from $10.00
‘ showed uneven declines amounting
to 25c to 50c generally, cases of 50c
or more representing extreme low
spots measured with last week’s best
selling. The best steers were in
b strOng hands and at no time looked
Weak, except perhaps on Friday.

when demand was rathnr indifferent.
Lower grades of natives were ad-
versely inﬂuenced by the profusion
of western range cattle Which came
u directly in competition with them

 

andafter the initial session values-

, slumped almost daily. On the other
hand, new higher tops were break-
ing out every day and prime weighty
steers were ﬂirting with the $12
mark after midweek, only to get
within 50 of that ﬁgure before the
week—end.

' Chicago’s receipts for the week at

and 14 lbs. comparing ~with eleven

sta/nds third heaviest in over eleven
years comparing with- corresponding
periods.

Agood demand together with a
scarcity of desirable light hogs, re-
sulted in sharp advances on the lat-
ter class after midweek,.with top
reaching the highest point since ear
ly last month. Last Week’s extreme
top at $10.55 paid late in the
week shows a 55c gain over previ-
ous week's top being $1.80 above
corresponding week a year ago,
$7.70 below two years ago and
Within $2.25 of the eleven year av-

Active outside competition on
best grades in practically all class-

advancing the general average cost
during the 'week to $9.00, being
$1.50 above a year ago, and $7.70
lower than two years ago and $2.70
below the eleven year average. Last
week’s average stands highest since
ﬁrst week of August.

Offerings of sheep last week total—
ing among the largest of the _ year
at approximately 85,000, are com—
paratively small for this part of the
season, being below any correspond-
ing period in several previous years.
Practically half of the receipts ar-
rived from the range, although sup—
ply included just a sprinkling of
aged stock and only one large ship-
ment of yearlings.

Handy aged sheep met an active
demand from country and local buy-

ers, with valueslargel‘y 25c above
previous week's close, best light
ewes quoted slightly above $7.00.
However, cull and weighty sheep

were neglected after midweek and
prices fluctuated at‘the recent gains
closing largely on ,a level within a
week previous.

Lack of aged sheep quality ac-
counted‘ for the 10c drop in the av-

Combined offerings at the seven

WOOL

Actual signing of the tariff law
immediately lent a feeling of
strength and security to the wool
trade, and prices are well maintain-
ed, with a good active business.
Though price levels remain un-
changed, the tone throughout is
ﬁrm and the volume of wool mov-
ing is slightly larger than recently.
All grades are sharing in the activ—

‘ity and dealers in the midwest are

almost uniformly in a rather opti-
mistic mood.

Quotations on mid—western or
so-called “native” Week; in large
lots —~ such prices as are obtained
by the farmers pools —— are as fol—
lows: Fine and medium staple. '47

Washington, Sept. 29, 1922.—-I advise not to sow winter grain on
dry soil. There are many risks before those who are interested in
planting and sowing for the crops of 1923 and 1924. With confidence
I can say to Mexico a great winter drouth, including four or ﬁve
months, covering the whole of that country, will begin in October,
1923, and ruin a large part of winter farming products and winter
grain. But the drouths-that will come to America, Canada and Alas—
ka within those two years will be local, cannot be explained in a gen-
eral] weather bulletin, and therefore must be dealt with privately.
Australia and New Zealand have short crOps on account of the long
foretold shortage of rain—not a drouth—but the great drouth, begin-
ning in October, 1922, will ruin their crops and they should prepare
for ‘a famine that will hit them about May, .1923. I am not expecting
a drouth in North America this year but—after the general] of heavy
rains of October—a rapid decrease of rain may be expected where
excessive rains have fallen for several months. I will again warn you
of great extremes of temperatures in,-0ctober averaging colder than
usual east of the. Rockies ; better weather west of the Rockies.

Michigan: Highest temperatures 1, 9 and 18; lowest 5 and 12;
average much colder than usual; Severe storms and most rain during
weeks centering on Oct. 6 and 14; cold waves and threatening frosts
following 1 and 9.

The c’ausecf the motion and force is the all important question in
all the sciences. Further weather cannot be known without under-
standing that cause. I know that the forces of the solar system are
moving inward toward the sun; all other scientists say they are mov-
ing outwardfrom the sun. There are three causes of motion that
drive the forces toward the sun—pressure from outer ether, condens-
ation of inward moving matter at the sun, the pull of the sun’s electro-
magnetic force. See my explanation of that electro magnetic form
and, force. Besides these three causes we all know of the incidental
energy that comes from compressed matter, not chemically combined,

1922 LAMB CROP SHORT

Realization of how short the 1922
l.mb crop was is now dawning on
the trade. Those who knew this
early in the season and made lamb
contracts at early prices have been
substantially rewarded. The highest
prices of the season have been re-
corded recently and still further ap-
preciation is possible, although lamb
is always in competition with pork
which is actually much cheaper.
However, there is an element among
consumers that will eat lamb regard-
less of cost and just as long as that
market is not saturated, stability is
assured. Native lambs have never
been marketed as early as this year,
and, except for feeder grades, the
end of the Western movement is al-
ready in sight. As recuperation of
breding flocks will require several
Seasons, a good market, both for the
1923 lamb crop and wool clip ap-
pears assured.—Round—up.

STOCK 0F WOOL IN U. S.
479,151,184 POUNDS

Stocks of wool in and afloat to the
United States on June 30, 1922,
totaled 479,151,184 pounds, grease
equivalent. according to the Quarter-
1y Joint Wool Stock Report just re-
leased by the Bureau of the Census,
United States Department of Com-
merce, and the Bureau of Agricult-
ure Economics, United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. This is the ﬁrst-
report issued under a joint arrange—
ment between the two Government
departments.

Stocks by condition consisted of
322,332,921 pounds of grease wool,
35,648,032 pounds of scoured wool,
16,629,680 pounds of pulled wool,
23,346,363 pounds of tops, and 8.—
328,283 pounds of oils. Dealers held
176,857,999 pounds and manfactur-
ers 197,652,634 pounds. Of the
total quantity reported, 54.8 per cent
was foreign wool, and 45.2 per cent
was of domestic production. The
supply of 1—2 blood and fine wool is
said to compare favorably with that
of ,1—4 and 3-8 blood.

The distribution by sections of
stocks by manufacturers was: New
England 116,664,403 pounds,.Middle
Atlantic 87,099,512 pounds. Pacific
'Coast 2,773,443 pounds, all other

MAINE POTATO GROWERS HOLD-
’ ING ('ROP

Aroostook county farmers are un-
willing to sell their potato crop at
present prices’ as they expect better
conditions later in season. Growers
are selling just enough potatoes at
present to get money enough to pay
help for digging. As the crop will
average only 60 to 65 barrels per
acre, the present price of 90c@ $1 per
barrel is not sufﬁcient to pay the fer-
tilizer bill and digging expenses.

Digging is nearly half over and
there is no doubt that Aroostook
county wil harvest a good crop. This
fact, together with reports that late
blight and rot will reduce the yield
in/some of the other states which
compete with Maine, is the basis for
a general feeling that prices will rule
better as soon. as Long Isand and
Jersey commence to sacken up a bit
on their present heavy shipments.
Shipments from Maine at present are
not heavy for the time of the year,
averaging only about 50 cars per day.
Early Cobblers are all pretty well
shipped out. Mountain varieties are
now being loaded and the 'quality of
thevlatter is excellent. The tubers
run even? size, ‘ bright, smooth and
sound. . ‘ »
