THE STORY OF A SUCCESSFUL
COW-TESTING ASSOCIATION

    

in the United States was organ-
ized at Fremont, Michigan, in
1906. The association engaged in
active testing for a period of 12
consecutive years or until 1918 when
it was temporarily disbanded. It
was reorganized January 13:,1922.
with eighteen members which later
increased to twenty-six. An average
j at 266 cows have been tested "each
‘ month since the reorganization.
Hoyt D. Shisler, well known
Oceana county farmer, is the ofﬁcial
tester of the association, qualifying
for the position after a short course
at the M. A. C. Clair Taylor, county
agricultural agent, has played an im-
portant part in bringing about the
reorganization of the association and
is now wor -‘ on plans for a second
association. emajority of dairy-
men belonging to the association ex-
press themselves as highly pleased
with the result and will undoubt-
edly continue the work for another
year.

Concrete evidence of ”the value of
_ cow-testing was shown at a recent
‘ horticultural exhibit at
when Mr. Shisler put on an exhibit
illustrative of cow-testing results.

One of the exhibits showed 581
,, pounds of butter produced by a
‘3 Guernsey from the herd of Herman

Zerlaut, which showed a proﬁt of
$107. 33 above the feed cost of $71-
..63 Another display was of 172
pounds of butter produced by a
grade Holstein at a loss of $22. 96.
Both cows from Zerlaut's herd.

Exhibits of different kinds of feed
showed the differences between bal-
anced and unbalanced rations, the
latter costing almost as much as
, the former.

Photos were exhibited of two cows,
showing where the poorest cow in
the herd, but not the most unproﬁt-
able, was the mother of the best

 

' cow and also the

take the side—rods down on the 5342
and get her in shape to be towed
back to the shops.” 3

An hour later a light engine came
up behindWhe standing train and
slowly shoved it to the next siding.
Two mechanics and the roundhouse
foreman were on the engine besides
the engineer and ﬁreman who
brought the engine out. The engine
crews changed places on the engines,
the disabled engine was uncoupled
from the train and the relief engine
coupled on and the train proceeded
one hour and thirty minutes late.

The two mechanics and the round-
house foreman examined the dis-
abled engine and announced that they
would take doyn the broken side-
rod; make temporary repairs on the
broken spring-hanger and would be
ready to leave with it in tow of some
other engine within anhour and a.
half. When they imparted this in-
formation to the train dispatcher he
informed them that an extra would
be along Within an hour and if” the
5342 was ready to move when it
came the engine would be moved.
Otherwise they would have to stay
with the'engine‘ until the next extra
came along as the ﬁrst extra would
not be held a half an hour for the
purpose of.‘ towing the disabled 5342
in to the shops.

The roundhouse foreman and his

two mechanics worked as rapidly as
possible but before they could ﬁnish
the job the freight which might'have
towed the disabled engine to the di-
vision terminal had passed.

Now note what happened: The
engineer and ﬁreman, the. two
mechanics and the roundhouse fore-
man waited from 9:30 a. m., until
7:30 p. m., for a train to pick them
up with the engine and take them
to the terminal. Even ..
were picked up but wer not re
until nearly midnight an all of them
except the roundhouse for man drew
pay with time and one-half for all
hours after the ﬁrst eightwuntil
they were back to the“ terminal.

In-.other words the ofﬁcials of the
road would not hold 'the ﬁrst extra
train half an hour 'so that it could
pick up the disabled engine and the
ﬁve employees, the company paid out
approximately 14 or 18 hours extra
time to each mechanic and engine—
man—a 'total of at least 68 hours.
’ At this time the mechanics rates
Were 77 cents per hour. The en-
ginemen’s rate was ﬁgured in mile—
age and was ever higher.

Which brings us to the quest‘ionﬂ

Are the railroads managed in an’ex-
travagant manner?

During one of the hearings in Chi-
cago before the Labor Wage Board

“The statistical work, the backbone
of a good knowledge of conditions
throughout the country and the
world, has been materially strength-
ened. Seventy thousand dollars are
being added to the livestock work
this year alone, in order that the

~Department may be able to tell the

number of livestock on the farms
twice a year.”

“More is being done to keep
track of what other countries are
going to do so far as planting crops
and how the crops are to be sold.
Fereign demand and how much of a
salable surplus of American pro-
ducts the other countries will need

“The Department of Agriculture

retary Wallace. “Colleges must

present scope were named as two of
the most important measures enact—
ed to put agriculture back on its
feet. In speaking of the War Fi-
nance Corporation Act, Secretary
Wallace said that “it was recogniz-
ed by aall as a Wise piece of emerg—
ency legislation.”

Doubling the capital of the farm
land banks, which “were not func—
tioning properly before,” until to—
day a million dollars a day isloaned
through these banks, was the third
piece of legislation put into effect
to aid the former. Allowing joint
stock land banks to increase the
rate of interest on bonds but not
on loans came in for its share of
praise. \

In speaking of these four acts, Mr.
.Wallace, stated “these are the four
most powerful forces which ﬁnally
stopped the downward trend in
prices and started them on an up-
ward movement.”

New acts of a constructive char-
acter are those regulating the pack
ers and stock yards and those regu—
lating the grain exchanges. The
Secretary is given full power to
make a complete investigation of
each of these ‘ and make. such
“This, "
:declared secretary Wallace is the

. greatest .Vz‘mthority~ given any govern-

forth possible economies in railroad.
management. The railroads replied ~
that while the economies were pos—

.sible it would cost so much to put

them into effect that they could not
afford them. In other words, they
were too poor to be economical in
the way the unions suggested. But
in the instance just related there
was no necessity of any expenditure
of capital to save the cost of 68
hours of labor. And this only one
of innumerable instances where
money has needlessly been expended
in operation.

In the maintenance departments
of the railroads much the same con-
dition prevails. ,Take the matter of
fencing. Along one stretch of ten
miles of trackthe right of way fences
are so poorly maintained that Within
the past four days over a dozen valu—
able farm animals have been killed
by trains after straying on the tracks
through the railroad company’s
fences. The toll included over six
horses, a calf, a dog, and a pure-bred
bull which was said to be worth
nearly one t h o u s a n d dollars.
In some instances law suits resulted
because of differences in the valua—
ion placed on the animals by the
farmers and the railroad company.

“What is the company’s policy
regarding fencing?" was asked the
roadmaster one day after a 200
pound hog had been killed by a train.

“They have no policy,” he replied
somewhat disgustedly.

“But their trains are killing farm
animals every month,” it was pointed
out. “It is costing them more to
pay for cattle and horses than new
fencing would times
over

“I konw it,” he answered ”But
they won’t give me the fence so I
can do nothing about it.”

What the roadmaster said' con—
cerning fencing is illuminating. In
very many instances subordinate of-
ﬁcers recognize defects in the pol-
icies of the management but because
their superiors will not or possibly
cannot give them assistance in cor—

ment agency except in times or
war ”

The act placing a farmer on the
Federal Reserve Board was mention-
ed by Mr. Wallace as a forward
step.

In concluding the Secretary said,
“If there is going to be a prosperous
nation there must be a symetrical
building up of all industries; the
nation must organize as a city ﬁre
department where all pull together.
The day of cheap land is past and
agriculture must be put on a sound
business basis year after year.”

Governor Alex J. Groesbeck laid
the ﬁrst corner stone of the New
Library Building, the ﬁrst of the
two stones to be put in place. The
college cadet corps escorted the
members of the State Board of Ag-
riculture, Secretary of Agriculture
H. C. Wallace and other dignitaries
of the day, to the site and assisted
in the ceremonies of the day. L.
Whitney Watkins, Chairman of the
State Board of Agriculture presided
at the Library corner stone laying,

‘while Mrs. Dora H. Stockman, the

woman member of the board, was
in charge when the stone was Set

Holstein in Northern Michigan is Second Highest Yearly Milk Producer'in Hie World

N the twenty-sixth of last month
a new honor came to Michigan,”
and particularly to Loeb Farms

This

the close of a 365 days' test for

ibiltter and milk production of the

. 'HOIBtein-Friesian cow, Kolrain Mar-
. ion Finderne, owned by Loeb Farms
and the establishing of a record ‘

showing this cow to be the highest
yearly milk cow east‘of the Rockies
and second highest in the world.
Her total production for the year was
35,339.? pounds of milk containing
1,278.58 pounds of butter. During
the 365 days there were 178 in
which Marion produced over 100
pounds of milk per day. During the
test no less than 15 state supervisors
oiilciated.

This great cow is a beauty, almost
all white in color and is royally bred,
being sired by Finderne Pride Payne,
dalm Kolrain Eleanor Pontiac Korn-
dyke. She weighs 1,680 pounds and
was seven years 01d on the 16th of
last September. This is her second
full year on test. She made on her
previous test as a “4% year old"
28,8518 pounds of milk containing
1,036.3 pounds of butter.

When their great Holstein cow,
Kolrain Marion Finderne, completed
her year’s production record October
26th at Charlevoix, Michigan, Mr.
and Mrs. A. H. Loeb, owners of Loeb
Farms, saw the beginning of the
realization of their plans for a model
farm in Northern Michigan.

Early in 1917 Mr. Loeb saw the
possibilities that Northern Michigan
oﬁered the dairy industry. On his
trips to Charlevoix he had become
familiar with stump land and vast
cut over tracts, but his forecasting
eye saw beyond these. A tract of
1,600 acres three miles South of
Charlevoix, picturesquely located on
the shore of Pine Lake, was pur-
chased. The idea was to build a
model farm, breeding cattle, Bel-
gian horses and Duroc-Jersey hogs.

More Money For Farmer Who Slaughters and Cures His Own Meat

NIMALS should be kept off feed

18 to 24 hours before slaughter-

ing, but should have plenty of
clean water to drink. There are
two reasons for this. One is‘ that
it empties the intestines, making it
easier to clean the carcass and pre—
pare casings for sausage. The other
is that if the animal is slaughtered
when gorged with feed, the small

" blood vessels will not drain readily

and the meat, consequently, will be
darker and more likely to spoil.
Keep feed away from your meat
animals 18 to 24 hours before kill—
ing—but don t forget the water.

When ready for the slaughtering,
handle the animals carefully. See
that they are not whipped, kicked,
chased or overheated. The carcass
of an animal killed when excited or
overheated is difﬁcult to cool and the
meat is inclined to sour or decay.
Bruise marks will show in the meat
and hasten spoiling. Do not over-
look the importance of cautious
handling it you wish to produce the
ﬁnest quality of meat.

Be prepared before you start kill-
ing. See that all necessary supplies
are at hand. Above all else, be cer-
tain that your killing methods are
quick and effective. Half measures
are dangerous to the slaughterer and
may result in a poor grade of meat.

. Take every possible precaution so

that ﬁrst shot or blow will make the
animal helpless and the bleeding can
be immediate and complete: If a
riﬂe is used, it should be handled by
a good marksman. If an ax or
sledge is used, care should be takﬁn

Pork and Pork Products

The hogs most suitable for meat
are those from 8 to 12 months old.
The meat of hogs less than three
months of age is likely to be some-

what watery 'and lacking in ﬂavor,
while that of old hogs, as a rule, is

tough.

In the latter case, the dim-

' culty 'can be overcome to some extent '
by fattening the animals heavily, '

preferably

on "COI‘Il,

slaughtering.
How fat should a. hog be when

just before '

slaughtered? On this point, experts
disagree. It's the old story of Jack
Spratt and his wife. Some persons
“can eat no fat; ” some can ’t get too
much of it. A certain amount of fat
is necessary to make meat juicy and
give it ﬂavor. An excess of it, how-
ever is not desirable. Thu pork in
favor is that well— marbled; fat and
lean being blended in “the happy

.medium' ’—plenty of each and not

too much of either. Such meat
when properly cured, commands the
highest price in any market and pays
the producer a maximum proﬁt.

The ideal meat hog is the smoo h-r
bodied, rather small-boned animal of
medium . condition but gaining
weight rapidly. Never kill a hog——
or any other animal—that is losing.
weight. This rule is observed strictly
by all. producers 'who cater to a select
market. '

Slaughtering

Be ready before you start, be-
cause speed is imp tant. Have all
necessary impleme ts at .,hand and
a plentiful supply- of hot water for
scalding. If possible there should
be a block and tackle or other device
for hoisting the animals so they will
bleed freely.

In general, it Will‘ be found more”
satisfactory to shoot er stun the ani~
mals before sticking. When this is
practicable, perform the sticking op-
eration as follOws, two ‘men being
required. ' :

The Dollar

The daily actions of most of us are inﬂuenced
by ~the messages received over the telephone,

and yet few of us stop to think of the men and'

women, and the mechanisms, which help to
make that daily service possible.

Maintenance, repairs, and the work of handling ‘

calls, must constantly be carried on in good times
or in bad, and they must be paid for, in order
that your telephone service may be continued.

The average dollar will buy to—day less than
two-thirds of what it would buy befbre the war.
This means that it costs, on the average, half as
much again to buy most of the things that are
necessary for keeping the country going; but‘the
advance in telephone rates is far less than this
average. ’ ~- "

In fact, gauged by the present purchasing
power of the dollar, telephone service in the
country as a whole is costing the subscriber less
than it did in l9l4.

meet higher commodity prices and, increased
wages by means of new economies in operation

The Best Truck ”for the Farm

. For general farm use, on hard) roads or in rough ﬁelds, the Model

‘K- 16 one ton GMC provides more pullingpower, more speed, and
more economy than othcrhtrucks of the same capacity.

Moreover, this “Jim-Dandy” truck is built from truck parts
exclusively—no passenger car parts used. Consequently it has
the sturdincssand enduring performance that is demanded for
hauling over all kinds of roads and in all kinds of weather.

The exclusive features of GMC construction, developed from more
than1en years of successful truck building, have provided this
truck with more continuous performance and lower operating
and maintenance costs. Due to\its advanced design there is not a
single wearing part in this truck that cannot be replaced. Such
reﬁnements as Removable Cylinder Walls, Removable Valve
Lifter Assemblies, Pressure Lubrication, and Instantaneous
Governor action all give to this truck the dependability that
is so vital in farm trucking. ,

In every detail of construction the Model K-16 has been built
according to the most approved and most advanced practices.

Magneto ignition, electric lights and starter with conduit wiring
entirely separate from the ignition wiring, radius reds, thermo-
syphon cooling, oversizcd brake drums, interchangeable brake
rods, complete instrument board, pressure chassis lubrication,
cord tires-

All these are universally accepted as the best for motor truck
use-all these are standard in this GMC.

Measured by any stande this one ton truck has no superiors—-
and its cost, considering its quality, is much lower.

He caught a last look in Joannes
eyes of anxiety and fear. Glancing
back out ofthe darkness that swal-
lowed him up, he saw her pause for
a moment in the lighted doorway,
and look in his direction. His heart
beat faster. Joyously he laughed
under his breath. It was strangely
new and pleasing to have some one
think of him in that way.

advancing t0 meet

He had not intended to go openly .

into the.lighted avenue, From the
moment he had plunged out into the
night after Quade, his ﬁghting blood
was roused. He had subdued it
while with Joanne, but his determin-
ation to ﬁnd Quade and have a set-
tlement with him had grown no less.
He told himself that he was one of
the few men along the line Whom
it would be difﬁcult for Quade to
harm in other than a physical way.
He had no business that could be
destroyed by other’s underground
methods, and he had no job to lose.
Until he had-seen Joanne enter the
scoundrel’s red-and-White- striped
tent he had never hated a man as he
now hated Quade: He had loathed
him before, and had evaded him be-
cause the sight of him was unpleas-
ant; now he wanted to grip his
ﬁngers around his thick red throat.
He had meant to come up behind
Quade’s tent, but changed his mind
and walked into the lighted trail be-
tween the two rows of tents and

shacks, his hands thrust carelessly.

into his trousers pockets. The night
carnival of the railroad builders was
on. Coarse laughter, snatches of
song, the click of pool balls and the
chink of glasses, mingled with the

\thrumming of three or four musical

instruments along the lighted way.
The phonograph in Quade’s place
was going incessantly. Half a doz-
en times Aldous paused to greet men
whomphe knew. He noted that there
was nothing diﬂerent in their man-
ner toward him. i If they had heard
of his trouble with Quade, he was
certain they would have spoken of
it, or at least would have betrayed
somesign. For several minutes he
stopped to talk with MacVeigh, a
young Scotch surveyor.. MacVeigh
hated Quade, but he .made no men-
tion of him- Purposely he passed
Quade’s tent and walked to the end

was Quade’s right-hand man at
,Miette, and there was a, glitter in
his rat-like eyes as Aldous leaned
over the glass case at the end of the
counter and asked for cigars. He
fumbled a bit as he picked out a
half dollar’s worth from the' box.
His eyes met Slim’s. ‘

“Where is Quade?” he asked cas-
ually. ’, .

Barker shrugged his shoulders.

“Busy to—night," he answered.
“Want to see him?”
“No, , not particularly. Only—I

don’t want him to hold a grudge.”

Barker rep-laced the box in the
case and turned away. After- light-
ing a cigar Aldous went out. He
was sure that Quade had not return-
ed from the river. Was he lying in
wait for him near the cabin? The
thought sent a sudden thrill through
him. In the same breath it was
gone. With a half dozen men ready
to do'his work, Aldous knew that
Quade would not reddeni his own
hands or place himself in any con-
spicuous risk. During the next hour
he visited the pla es where Quade
was most frequent y seen. ,He had
made up his mind to walk over to
the engineer’s camp, whenr'aesmall
ﬁgure darted after him "out "of" the
gloom of the trees. '

It was the Stevens’ boy.

“Dad wants to see you down at
,the camp," he whispered excitedly.
“He says right away—an’ for no one

one see me. I’ve been waiting for
you to come out in the dark." ,

“Skip, back“ and
come," replied Aldous quickly. “Be
sure you mind what he says—and
don’t let any one see you!"

The boy disappeared like a rabbit.
Aldous looked back,‘~and ahead, and
then dived into the darkness after
him.

A quarter of an hour he came out
on the river close to Stevens’ camp.
A little nearer he saw Stevens squat-
ted close to a smouldering ﬁre about
which he was drying, some clothes.
The boy was huddled in a discon~
solate heap near him. Aldous called
softly, and Stevens slowly rose and
stretched himself. The ipacker ad-
vanced to where he (1

breathing.

hard. ‘

“Thank you, old man,” he said.

“And he believes you will do it?”

“I told him I would—eday after to- j - .

“You’re \wrong—clean wrong,”
said Aldous quietly. ’“When‘I saw

rocks I had already made up my

again, and looked down into the

dark pit through which the river
~was rushing a hundred feet below

him. It tore in frothing maelstroms
through a thousand rocks, ﬁlling
the night with a low thunder. To
John Aldous the sound of it might
have been a thousand miles away.

in a casual way, he learned from
the little pink-faced Cockney Eng-

vyhight, that Stevens had been correct
in his

information. Quade had
gone‘to Tete Jaune. Although it
was eleven o ’clock, Aldousrproceedc,

restless. He did' not feel that he
could sleep that night. The en-
gineers’ camp he expected to ﬁndin
darkness, and he was ; surprised
when he saw a light burning bright-
ly in Keller’s cabin.

Keller was the assistantdivisional
engineer, and they had become
good friends. It was 'Keller who
had‘ set the ﬁrst surveyor’s line at
Tete Jau’ne, and it'was he who had
reported it as the strategic point
from which to push forward the
ﬁght against mountain and wilder-
ness, both by river and rail. He
was, in a way, accountable for tho’
exstence of Tete Jaune just where
it did exist, and he knew more about
it than any other man in the em-
ploy of the Grand Trunk Paciﬁc.
For this reason Aldous was glad
that Keller had not .gone to bed.
He knocked at the door and, entered
without waiting for an invitation.'

There fell a moment’s silence.
Aldous waited. Stevens spat again,
and ﬁnished in a whisper:

“Quade went to Tete Jaune to-

CHAPTER VIII

' John Aldous confessed to himself
that he did not quite understand,
in spite of the effort Stevens had
made to impress upon ,him the im-
portance of not going to Tete Jaune.
He was bewildered over a number of
things, and felt that he needed to
be alone for a time and clear his
mind. He left Stevens, promising to
return later to share a couple of
blankets and a part of his tepee, for
he was determined’ to keep his
promise to Joanne,-and not return
"to his own cabin, even though Quade

moonlit. trail along the river to an

ing that he would meet no one, 'and
that in this direction he would have

choatic tangle of events through
which he had passed that day.
Aldous had employed a certain
amount of caution, but until he'had
talked with Stevens he had not be-

For forty- ﬁve years dairymen have struggled with hard
turning cream separators. Excessive friction caused them
much trouble 1n the hand operation of the machines. Now
the cream separator engineers of the Harvester Company,
with this problem constantly in mind, and the satisfaction of
the Operator at stake, have designed and constructed a Ball-
Bearing Primrose Cream Separator which reduces the power

, required to operate by approximately 35 7.

In this latest Primrose, the ball bearings are located at
points where the resistance is greatest in the opera-
tion of all makes of cream separators.

The Ball- Bearing Primrose is in no sense an
experiment. It has been tested and proved a re-.
markable improvement in the hands of thousands
of farmers and dairymen 1n New York, Wisconsin,
California, Minnesota, and other dairy sections of
the United States. The unanimous decision of all
users is that it represents a development which has
long been needed, especially in territory where
large machines are in use, and where more would
be proﬁta 1y used were it not for the hard turning

;~ of the plain-bearing machines.

The International Harvester Company’s broad
and liberal guarantee stands solidly behind this
product. Primrose deserves its high reputation, not
only for its recovery of the greatest amount of but-
ter fat when operated as instructed, but for its
ability. to do so with less labor.

' The Ball-Bearing Primrose is one of the products

‘ in the McCormick- Deering line of farm operating
equipment. It may be seen and studied at the
store of your McCormick- Deering dealer. Write

us for catalog if you prefer.

HENRY FORD SAYS:

HE chief injustice sustained by the

farmer today is that, being the greatest

producer he is prevented from being al.-
so the greatest merchandiser, because he Is
compelled to sell to those who put his pro-
ducts into merchantable form. If he could
change his grain into ﬂour, his éattlo into
beef and his hogs into hams and bacon, not
only would he receive the fuller proﬁt of
his product, but he would render his nearby
communities 'more independent of railway
exigencies, and thereby improve the trans-
portation system by relieving it of the bard-

THE FIFTY -F"IFTY PLAN

INCE the publication of Dr. Wendt’s experi-

S ence with the 50-50 partnership, we have

had a large number of requests for copies

of the contract blanks, and many inquiries con-

cerning the operation of this plan of co-opera—
tion between land owner and farm worker.

The following from one of our subscrib-
ers is a typical case: “Am writing you in
regard to what would be right in a partner-
ship deal. We rented here last spring. The
landlord said, ‘As you haven’t anything, I’
will furnish feed, seed and everything. You
take oneathird of the increase on everything
except the chickens and cream. ‘I’ll give‘
you half on that.’ We agreed to that, but
after harvest the landlord insisted that we
pay our share of the threshing and twine
bills. That was the ﬁrst he had even men-
tioned threshing or twine. He also furnish-
ed an incubator and some insect powder,
and some feed of coarse, and now he wants
to charge that up to the chickens and then
take half. Our hogs needed a. little atten-
tion by a veterinarian, and now the land-
lord is’charging that up against the hogs
with the ﬁrst cost. We have no written con—
tract, just verbal, but we have proof of it.
Now if you will send us an answer and tell
us what is right in that kind of a deal, we
will appreciate it very much. ”

The fundamental trouble here is the lack of a
written.agreement. A verbal contract is not
sufﬁcient in real estate deals. The important
thing is for owner and worker to get together

in the beginning with a perfect understanding of,

every detail concerning each other’s rights and
obligations.
sign up,” is our advice in most cases of this
kind. If you will do that you won’t need to
have any misunderstandings after you have
begun operations.

In this particular case we feel that where
the worker gets one-third of the crop or in-r
come, all the expenses should be paid by tho
landlord. One4third is ’slmply wages for the
laborer.

ITEE “LIVING WAGE"

“The Workman’s lowest‘szags must be
enough for comfort, enough to make his
house a home,enoug!1 to insure that the 1
\struggie for existence shall not crowd out
the things worth existing for. ”

PRESIDENT Harding said this to a group pr,

organized labor leaders recently in .Wasn-
‘ ington. They had come-to complain of the
proposed lowering of their wages. Most of
them were representatives of the powerful rail-
road labor unions.' They represent a class Who
have no money invested, work shorter hours
and earn more money than the tarm owners of

. any state through which their trains move.

unions can hear him, plainly and positively:

"The lowest prices paid the tamer for
his products, must be the cost of production
plus enough for comfort, enough to make,
his house a home, enough to. insure that the
struggle for Existence shall act crowd out
the the things worth existing on an isOlated
farm for!"

And this message must be. born home to the
congressmen who are blunder-busing with so-
called Farm Blues, which seem only to arouse
the antagonism of the non- farming classes, _ (be—
cause class-legislation is not and never can be
American) and therefore actually do “blcck”
the urgent. relief needed.

The farmers of America do not expect pamper-
ing, they are not looking for a soft place to lay
their heads, but they do feel that they have
waited aboutdong‘ enough for a re-adl‘ustment oi

manded by labor.

farming business)“ back to normal, but Labor
Leaders have become so enamoured with “44

they have failed to notice that eats are now worth
400 and wheat $1.10 per bushel on the farm.

ers of the present system of
undress, instead of presenting
its good (‘2) qualities, always hark‘
back. to high collars—chin rests

which are sometimes useful—wasp-

waists and trailing skirts. And our
editor raises another relic of the
past—those nice long nether gar—
ments called pantalettes.
We advocated none of these ridic-
ulous fashions. We drew no com-
parisons. We said nothing about
spit curls, bangs or bobbed hair,
knock knees, bow legs. or big feet,
bony arms, or scrawny necks but
since Aunt Betsey mentions those
necessary appendages called legs we
must say we’ve always wondered why
so many of the fair sex had such a
peculiar gait and We were enlight—
ened when" short skirts arrived. We
have seen more bow-legs the past
season than we ever dreamed existed.
If some of these dear- deluded
would take an inventory of their
“stock in beauty they would surely
require more dry goods. ..
However, we are not caring abou
that. If we were to advocate any
costume to meet the requirements of
modesty and comfort, it would be
’ knickers and blouse, a,coat if. need-
ed, such as many tourists now wear.

{Nothing doing. The long skirt
looms close on the horizon and soon a
Eve's descendants will swish around
as 'did others in days gone by, re-
gardless of health, comfort, or free—

PROGRESS

The world progresses, and~meth-
Ode of safe investment also have
progressed. Safer, more gatisfact-
ory investments can now be made
than one of years ago and people
w o ave progressed with the
times prefer them to the others.

A good farm mortgage was and
is a good investment, but should
it have to be foreclosed the mort-
gagee may have to turn a friend
and neighbor from his
home and take over a
property which he cannot
operate successfully.

A First Mortgage Bond
has no such drawbacks.

facilities for keeping clean, for the

“farmer has not been slow to learn -

the fact that rural sanitation applies
to the’ home as well as to the barn,

ethat fresh air is as necessary to the -
. health of his family as it is to the
health of his chickens and his milch

cows, and that supplying the human
engine with plenty of fresh air
means both a happier worker and a
better one. .

Country folks, like city ones, are
beginning to learn that health—:pub-
lic as. Well as individual-eds largely

. amatter, ﬁrst of education and then

‘of habit. They feel that they have

a very decided advantage from the
fact that the great essentials of
health—fresh air, sunshine, plain
nourishing food, and cleanliness—-
are so freely at their command.

The day ,of ignorance and care-
lessness is passing. It is growing
less and less common to see farm
houses banked up with manure and
the windows stuffed With paper or
cloth in the winter time, and with
it will go one of the favorite jokes
of a middle western state health
oﬁicer:

“No wonder there’s lots of fresh
air in the country; country folks use
so little of it.”

Health and Habit

For health is a habit. The Fund-
tions of the body, both mental and
physical, are rhythmic.“ Whatever
mode of action is accepted today
tends to be repeated tomorrow.
Right practices, oft repeated, in the
long run spell norma function.
Personal hygiene sufﬁciently extend-
ed becomes community health. By
the same token, rooms that are dark
and corners that are musty, personal
habits that will not bear repeating
and imitation are not mere matters
As a small
focus of. infection soon undermines
the whole physical economy, so will
an unthinking tolerance of insani-

tary domestic conditions breed a'

general indifference to community\
housekeeping.
When Health Suffers

In the fall of the year the human
machins achieves the peak of its ef-
ﬁciency. Not the rigors of winter
are its undoing, but indoor diseases,
close air, burdensome clothes, and
the eating of heavy foods, rich and
perhaps too greasy. You will re-
member the old say, “An apple a
day keeps the doctor away." You
can ish it yourself, (perhaps).

Thi also reminds me ofthe story
of the doctor who visited a Sunday
school and in his talk to the child-
ren said,.“Now children what do you
do to get to Heaven?” There was a
long silence and then the smart little
boy said, “Get sick and send for
you, doctor.”

REMOVING RED INK

As we are subscribers to the Busi-
ness Farmer and read so many help-
ful things;
one had a remedy for removing red
ink from silk. It is a new garment
that has” neverrbeen washed. Have
tried a great many things but no-
thing seems to remove it. It is a
white gown with dark brown and
gold stripes, also a tiny stripe of
lavender. ——Mrs. B. H. ’1'.
—-Milk will often remove ink. It
must be renewed from time to time
and the article must soak in it for
several days——Kerosene will remove
ink from wash materials. Salts of
lemon 1 fps to a quart of water.
This is very poisonous. Care must
be- taken. . .

She has a stack of music, I can’t tell just how high—

~~ I notice when pa looks at it. he always draws a sigh.

When breakfast time is over sis looks up with a smile '
“I’d love to help you motlier but I’ll practice for a while.”
Then goes to the piano and makes what noise she can,-
I would much rather listen to her drum upon a pan.

She plays a while on notes above and then on those below, '

Sometimes it’s going very fast and next it’s very slow.
She makes it tinkle tinkle and then go ping, ping, pang,
Now makes the whole house rumble and ends up with” a bang!
We could stand it all quite nicer and never want to jaw,
If shee’d play us “Yankee Doodle” or “Turkey in the Straw.”
' Someday she may be,« famous and ﬁll us with delight,
But I’d rather sing the good old song than practice day and night.

HOW TO CARE FOR LINOLEUM 9 .

_‘ FLOORS

ROPERLY treated, a linoleum
ﬂoor is more easily cleaned than
any other kind of ﬂoor. Lin-
oleum has a smooth, unbroken sur-
face, without cracks and crevices to

catch dirt and germs.
. When your new inlaid, jaspe, or
plain linoleum ﬂoor is ﬁrst laid, it

9

should be washed immediately with f

warm water and pure soap. Then
before it is “tracked up, " wax it with
a liquiid ﬂoor wax, rubbing the wax
in very thoroughly, and polishing
it with a weighted brush.

Wax Inlaid Ja‘spe, and‘Pain’
Linoleum

The daily care of a waxed linoleum
.ﬂoor is simple. Ordinarily, all you
need to do is go over it with a mop
slightly moistened in liquid wax.

tdgorways, and where the trafﬁc
is gre tést the wax coating will wear
away, and should be renewed as
often as appearance demands. With
this treatment it is necessary to
scrub linoleum ﬂoors at frequent.
intervals. In rainy weather muddy
footprints may be wiped up with a

‘ damp cloth. _ :
Any good liquid ﬂoor wax, such as

Johnson' s Liquid Floor Wax or Old
English Linoleum /Wax, is suitable

for linoleum. Most people prefer the .
liquid wax because it is easier to~ ,1;-
apply than paste ~wax, and permits ’

eveher distribution. Whether you
use liquid or paste wax, apply it very
sparingly and be sure to rub it in
thoroughly. Wax used too thickly
will not harden properly, and the ex-
cess wax will absorb dirt and darken

the linoleum. The ﬂoor will look‘

greasy and unsightly, and probably
will he slippery.

1‘ Varnish Printed Linoleum

Printed linoleumwusually wear bet- . ~

ter and holds its original freshness

of coloring longer if given an occa-

sional coating of varnish. It is most

economical to use only the best-grade '
water-proof varnish, as the cheaper

grades are likely to scratch and turn

white. Varnishes such as Valspar

are recommended. ,

For varnishing, linoleum must be. ‘

clean and dry. The varnish should
be applied as evenly as possible and
allowed to dry at least twenty-four

hours before the ﬂoor is used. Tm .

coats should be applied on' new lin-
oleum; thereafter the varnish need
be renewed but once 0r twice a year,
according to the Wear on the ﬂfeor.

Care should be taken in revarnishin‘g
to avoid streaked and sp-otty eifects.’

Washing Linoleum
In the kitchen, pantry, and bath—

recting the defects they are power-
less to act to stop the leaks.

A section foreman and his gang of
ﬁve men have been using a modern
gasoline—motor car for transporting
them over their eight miles of track.
These motor cars have been‘ in use
for a number of years and so it was
somewhat of an innovation to see
’ this fereman and his trackmen slow-

ly pumping an old- fashioned hand-
car over their sectit'm one morning.

. “What has become of your motor

car?" he asked.

“I had to lay it up for repairs,”
he replied. “I’ ve sent for them but
they haven’t come yet. "

Five weeks passed and again the
old-time hand-car passed over the
track, the men straining at the
handles to propel it.

“Isn’t that motor car repaired
yet?" he was asked by his astonished
acquaintance.

“No. Haven’t got the parts yet, "
the foreman answered. “You see
«its like this: The company has ﬁve
diiferent makes of motor cars in use
on-this division—and they can’t af-
ford to keep repair parts for all of
them, so they ﬁgure. And‘ so when
anything-goes wrong-with a car they

\have to send for parts to_the manu-

an expensive way to ' manage. It

the system of train inspection at ter-
minals is not rigid enough to detect

and repair these defects. before the‘

trains start on their journeys. And
after the trains are out in the coun-
try somewhere four men wait
while one man works repairing the
equipment. The net result is need-
less expense and unhecessary delay
to train movement. Of course some

journals are bound to run hot even

under the best inspection—-—but the
number can be greatly reduced if the
railroads Wish to reduce this defect.

Many other instances of extrava-
gant management might be cited in
the operating and maintenance de-
partments of the railroads and, in
fact, most other departments. But
the foregoing incidents will be suf—
ﬁcient to indicate to some extent the
trouble in the present railroad man-
agements. There seems to be a. de-
cided lack of cooperation on the part
of the “higher- -up” ofﬁcials to adopt
suggestions from the minor ofﬁcers
who are nearest to the rank and ﬁle
of employees. A suggestion from an
ordinary employee is quite likely to
be disregarded entirely and possibly
the employee reprimanded as being
presumptive.

Another 'phase of management
wherein many unnecessary expendi-
tures are made is shown in the main-
tenance of city ticket ofﬁces with
high rentals and unnecessary 'em-
ployees; . by the employment of in-
nu erable “district freight and pass-

ger agents’ and other solicitors
due to competition between the dif-
ferent railroad companies And
again in the unnecessarily long hauls
made in an effort to keepirelght on
the rails of one linens long as pos.
sible. Another phase is the dup-
lication of passenger train service
between most of our larger cities.
Usually the number could be reduced
by one quarter or in some instances
even one half. without any inconven-
ience’to the public and still aﬁord
ample accomodation for the number
of passengers wishing to travel.

But perhaps you are wondering
What all this has to do with the
Why should he care if the
railroads wish to squander their
money? Simply because’ the farmer
must,- in the ﬁnal analysis, pay a
very big share of the mOney squan-
dered when he moves his products
and buys his supplies. Whether he
wishes to concern himself with the
management of the railroads or not
he is compelled to foot the bills——
and he ought to take a- very great
interest in the doings of the trans-
portation agents of his state. Re-
member this: When the railroads
wish an increase in freight rates
they show their net earnings to the
Interstate Commerce Commission——
and that \their net earnings depend
in a large measure upon their op-
erating, maintenance and other ex-
penses. If extravagant management
reduces their net earnings to a point
where the railroads feel justiﬁed in
asking for an increase in freight
rates remember that the farmer is

' going to pay a big share of any in-

crease in rates that may be granted.
And so every farmer may well ask
the question: “Are the railroads
managed economically?”. He is as
vitally concerned as any other citizen
-——and more than most citizens.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

_Dear Uncle Ned—~I do hope that
you believe in the old saying ”better
late than never” for I have never
told you how much I appreciated
my lovely needle case, though .I
think of it every time I use one
from it.

Just after I receiyed my package
of needles we started for Jonesboro,
Arkansas We started on Saturday

Tuesday afternoon. We had a ﬁne

’ time' While there.

We passed through Williamson
county, the heart of the coal strike.
One morning we started out very
early on what we thought was the
right road which seemed to lead
out past a coal mine, when we got
quite near the mine our road began
to turn back and we discovered we
were on a race track.

Before entering Missouri we were
warned by other tourists we met to
be careful about pigs and cattle in
the road. In Michigan we fence our
live stock in but in Missouri they
fence them out. You have/to dodge
pigs, chickens, cows an goats graz-
ing on the side of the main roads or
taking a nap in the center. We hit
one pig. It was a. common sight to
see pigs on the main streets and
sidewalks of good— —sized towns and
there was nothing to prevent them
entering stores. '

Just after we crossed the Mississ-
ippi River it started raining and
rained most of the way back. It
was raining when we entered Mich-
igan.

Are we going to write Thanksgiv-
ing stories? I hops so. The issues
between Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas, why could not those who wish
to have a contest send in the
best group, say, of ﬁve Christ-
mas presents that we could
minke? Illustrating them and giv-
ing a, yery short description of how
to make them. Let the plainnees,
slmpleness and cheapness count as
much as the beauty of the article.
I have several in mind, I am sure
‘Iany other members have also. In
this way we could get new and
clever ideas for Ehristmas gifts.

I have received several excellent,
letters from M. B. F. boys and girls
and hope to receive more.

I thank you again for the needle
ease. Your friend. —.-—Ls Vendee

looked up from the paper he

hour.

“Guess I know all about it, if
you will ki'ndly enlighten me as to
what you rotor," and Rob; his older
brother, smiled in the superior way

.that always vexed Don beyond en-

durance. ,
For a minute he did not answer,
than he wanted to beer whet Rob

“011, of course, you would say
that, for you are a regular molly,-
coddle, always afraid of hurting‘
something or somebody. I be-_’,
lieve in a boy being a regular fol-
low, I do " He straightened in
his chair, throwing out his chest.
as he was sure a regular fellow
would do. ,

“So do I belive in being a regular
fellow, but I belive a regular fellow
is a regular'gentleman, and a gent-
leman, you know, is just a gentle
man. See?” Den looked at him
wanting to say something, but just
then he lacked words. So Rob went
on:

“Yen wanted to know what his '
lack of your so-called fun had ,to
do with being President. Well, it
had just this much to do with it.
You remember the qu6tatldn, ‘T‘he
bgy is father to the man,’ and right
there lies the whole secret. A boy _/

does not change his nature Very

much when he becomes a man, for
usually as in the boy, so is the man,
and the boy who ﬁnds pleasure in -
hurting and torturting the helpless,
will carry that same spirit intoman- ‘
hood, and he will have the same
carelessness for others when he has
the greater power to hurt. And one
with a cruel, selﬁsh make-up would
be a pretty poor specimen to. be
placed where he is expected to work
for the good of others.” Rob was
very much in earnest, now, for he-
had 'begun to think of things that
concerned the welfare of ,, his
country, as all .boys do, sooner or
later. -
“You ﬂee, son, it is a. pretty small
mind that ﬁnds pleasure in things
that hurt, and men of such small
calibre usually stay down on their
own level. It takes somethink dif-
ferent fo‘r Presidents, you see. ‘So,
Irhav‘e no doubt whatever that Pres-J
ident Harding did not forget, the

7 least little bit, when he made that

statement. And no doubt President
Wilson could have made the same
answer, for one with the desire for ,
world happiness that he has, never»
could have attained that spirit if
he had been given to torturing
others. A man is just a boy
grown Jorge, you know.”

Don still had not found words for
argument, and Rob took advantage
01! his predictment.

“So, now, if you- expect to be

'President, and you may—4f I don’t

best you to it—-—j_ust change your

, ideas of fun, for there is no place

stock in small amounts in con-
nection with other feeds, sug-
gests the U. 8. Dept. of A
to farmers who are inter-es ed in
methods of utilizing cull po atoes.

2While they may be sliced and fed
raw with dry 'feeds, it is best to cook

them before feeding, as heavy feed-
ing of raw potatoes will cause scour-
ing. Under ordinary farm condi-
tions, boiling or steaming is the
mast economical method of cooking

the potatoes for livestock. Steaming ‘

increases their feeding value about
60 percent.

The low protein content of pota-
toes makes it advisable to feed
them in connection with feeds that
are relatively high in protein con-
tent. Feeding investigations indi-
acte that when potatoes are fed with

other feeds to balance the protein .

requirements, from 350 to 450
pounds ‘of cookedppota‘toes have a.
feeding value equal to about 100
pounds of corn, while from 500 to

0 pounds of raw potatoes are re-
quired to equal 100 pounds of corn.

Horses—Potatoes are palatable

and well suited for use as a horse

feed. It is safe to feed as high as 15
pounds a day to work horses. They
are equivalent to about one—third
their weight in hay. When potaims
are fed, a legurme hay is a desirable
If a grass hay.‘ such
as timothy is fed, the ration ’should

contain feeds rich in protein, such‘

as concentrates, legume hay, etc. It
is advisable to chop the potatoes to
lessen danger of checking.

Cattle—~00 ed potatoes may be
fed to. cattle a. the rate of from 25
to 30 pounds a day. per 1,000 lbs.
liveweight. The allowance should
be‘lessened somewhat if they are fed
raw, on account of their tendency to
produce scouring. A heavy allow-
ance of potatoes, however, produces
milk and butter of” poor flavor.

SCUM FORMS, ON MILK

I have a Holsteincow and when
I milk her .and let the milk stand

a few minutes it forms a thick scum.-

at the bottom of pail and when the

milk sours it tastes salty. She seems ‘

well in other ways, is in good past-
me and gets plenty of water and
salt.——F. C., Cathro, Mich.

-'——We are at a. loss to ..know just
why the silk should thicken up at
the bottom of your pail, but as far
as the salty taste is. concerned, will
say that this is usually caused by

\the cow being in too good condition

and particularly when cows are fed
too heavily on grain. There is also
danger when one is keeping a: fami-
ly cow and trying to get all the
milk possible from her. If you have

been feeding the cow quite heavily, ‘

I would suggest that you “cut the
grain down and then drench the
cow with a pound of Epson salts,
wait three days and give her an-
other pound and repeat after an-
bther three days until three doses
of EIpson salts have been given and
then gradually brin 11; her feed back
to the amount she ought to get. A
pound of grain for each four pounds

of milk per day is sufﬁcient for a“

HE Howell Sales Company of;
Livingston county held their
ninth annual sale, Thursday,
October 19th, at Howell where mem—
bers of the company disposed of
over ninety head of choice Hol-
steins. Many of the animals wbre
not in perfect sale condition and it
appears that this was one of the
main factors that held the average
down to only $144. 67. The crowd
was there and bidding seemed to be

active but most of the bidders ap- '

parently were unfamiliar with the

history of the animals judging en-

tirely by appearances. Sixty-nine
cows were sold at an average 'of
3144 per head with the top at over:
$300. TWO cows sold for $130 each

stick a ﬁnger into the scalding water
three times in rapid succession. If
it burns, severely the third time,
the water is about right. ‘

'To each thirty gallons of water
add a teaspoonful of concentrated
lye, a quantity of soft soap or .a
small shovelful of wood ashes. This
' ~will aid" in removing the scurf.

A barrel inclined at an angle of 4:5 _

Very large hogs, however, may be

the hair is loosened. Uncover a
portion occasionally and test the
hair. If it does not come off easily,
more. water may be added, provided
care is taken not to “set” the hair
"by too much heat.
. When using a barrel or other ves-
sel for scalding, keep the carcass
moving in the water. To hold the
carcass while scalding the hind
‘ parts, thrust a hog hook through the
,lot'ver jaw. As soon as the hair slips
:‘easily, draw the carcass out to the
Cleaning platform and remove the
hair and scurf from the feet and legs
immediately by twisting the legs
with both hands. Also take off the

bell-shaped scraper is the best for
scraping the remainder of the hind
‘ parts,- but dull knives may be used.

' Make a deep cut entirely around the

be cut in halves by splittingpand

make any further cuts until the car-
cass is cool.

As a rule, the" carcass should be
allowed to cool several hours. A
good plan is to do the slaughtering

in the evening and let the carcass‘

hang all night in a cellar or cool
room, ﬂour in mind, however, that
the meat must not be frozen. Re-
member, too, that fresh meat ab—
sorbs odors readily and, on this ac-
count, should no_t be hung in a room
where there is paint, tar, kerosene,

BEAT THE HIGH PRICE OF
MACHINERY

V on have any machinery out
out in the weather?

Drop thework you had plan-

. ned for today and put it under cover.

This part of the equipment for farm—
ing costs more today than ever be-
fore in history. This makes neces-
sary greater care if we will avoid
excessive cost. The machines which
we buy today are much more intri—
cate and complicated and thus more
damaged by weathering than those
of previous years. Oneaeighth of
the total investment saved'each year
your machinery is properly cared
for, is a very conservative estimate.

The added satisfactibn and saving
in operating tight-fitting, smooth-
running machinery needs no argu-
ment for its proof. No machine can
stand out in the weather and then
operate efﬁciently the following sea-
son.

Figure up What a. machine shed
would be worth to you. Consult
your lumber dealer, county agent,

‘or agricultural college on the de-

sign and cost of a machine shed.
Do it today, and your machinery
costs will come back to normal.

Don’t

clean that mites ’cannot make a
home there. Whitewash the coop
in the spring and in the fall. 3,.O3n’ce
a month, during the spring and Sum
mer, paint the moosts, and nests with
kerosene or‘kerosene emulsion.

Kerosene, if applied 3 often
enough, Will keep mites from breed-
ing. Crude oil is better than kero—
sene because it lasts longer. Ker-
osene emulsion is more. trouble to
make, but it pays because an emula
sion stays on the job longer and
does the work better. 3

Kerosene emulsion is made as

laundry soap in a gallon of hot
water, and then add two gallons of
Stir this With a 'stick,
or .churn it with a hand spray until
the nude and kerosene are thor-
oughly mixed and look like thick
cream. To this~mixture add eight
gallons of water and stir well. Ap-
ply to the coop with a brush or a
common hand spray.

Various species of lice affect
poultry, but the only one is com-
mon. The common hen louse is pale
yellow
darker marks on each side of the
body. It is about one-twentieth of
an inch long and slightly more
slender than the chic‘ken mite.

Lice live and reproduce on the
body of the hen. They do not suck
blood, but live on the scurf of the
skin, and the fuff of the feathers.

«Spraying .Will not be
against lice, for any odor strong
enough to reach up through the
feathers and kill the lice Will be
strong enough to injure the hen;

Lice breathe through the pores of
the body. Any ﬁne powder or any
greasy substance. which will close
the pores Will kill them. .You
know how hens wallow in the dust.
They do this to rid themselves of
lice. Have, a box of ashes and road
in t in the chicken coop so that
hen can go to it at any time.

. Dust .insect powder on the hen.
No powder on the market is as
cheap and effective as one you can
make at home. Take three parts of
gasoline and one part strong carbol-
is acid. Mix these together 'and add
enough plaster paris to take up all
the moisture. This makes a dry
pinkish-brown powder. Dust this
on the. hen especially in the feath-
ers .under the Wing and in the ﬂuff
below the vent.

This powder ~-is .1;an as the
Cornell Lice Powder. The formula
was worked out. by Mr. R. C Lawry,
of Paciﬁc, Missouri, When he was
a professor. in the Poultry Depart-
ment of Cornell University

Grease closes the pores as effect-

ively as/powder. Equal parts of
lard and kerosene can be used. Rub
well into the skin at the base of the
feathers under the Wing and below
the vent.
. The remedies mentioned will kill
all lice, but Will not kill the nits or
eggs. In a week or tWO you Will
need, to repeat the process in order
tow kill the lice which will, have
hatched in the meantime.

Blue ointment Will kill both nits
and lice. It is a poisonous salve
that can be purchased at any“drug
store for 30wr‘orx35 cents an-oun‘ce.‘
A small amount about -the size of a
pea should be rubbed into the skin
of the“: abdomen. just below the vent.

great numbers that the chickens
cannot breathe. They never kill
old- hens, but young chickens often
die from this cause. "

It is fairly easy to get rid of
gape Worm if you know their life
history. They live in the soil. Their
eggs are eaten by chickens or angle
worms. In either case the eggs
hatch and the young gape woms
Work their way into the trachea.

It is much easier to prevent gape
Worms than to get rid of .them

after the soil once becomes infest-‘

ed. Young chicks should never be
raised in the same place year after
year. Change location of their (mops
each spring. If you do this and use
lime and ashes on the ground Where
the chickens run, there will be little
danger of gape worms getting a
start.

If the land becomes badly infest-.

ed, itshould be plowed and put out
to crops fOr a year or two.

MEETING OF MICHIGAN BABE
CHICK ASSOCIATION '

LITTLE over a year ,ago the

leading hatcherymen of Michi-

gan joined together in an asso-
ciation to be known as the Michi—
gan Baby Chick Association. ’ The
purpose of the association is to
chicks and
to co—operate With each other. On
Sept. ”29th at Lakewood Farm, Hol—
land, Mich” they held a meeting.and
the work done in the past year was
gone over. All members were great-
ly surprised and highly pleased at
the rapid progress they had made
in twelve months.

At this meeting the members
adopted a new constitution and Code
of ethics. In article 5 of their new
constitution they have a code of
ethics. In this code they pledge
their earnest co-operation with and
protection of the public< through:
Honest, truthful advertising; hon-
est, upright business methods; and

_ honest production and sale of chicks

as represented. In taking such a
step the association has done much
to place the baby chick business in
this state on a higher plane and they
will proﬁt much by it.

In order to become 'a member of
the association 3. hatcheryman or
commercial egg man must cull the
ﬂocks he hatches his eggs from.
After this culling is done he notiﬁes
the association who has the Exten-
sion Department of the M. A. 0. ap-
prove and rate his ﬂocks. If the
M. A. 0'. man approve the ﬂock then
the association issues him a certiﬁ-
cate of certiﬁcation and by paying
the membership dues of $10 he-be-
comes a member of the association.
All interested should write Mr C.

~TRADE AND MARKET REVIETI
ENERAL business conditions
continue on the up-grade,
but ’coal and transportation
still present‘ some problems which
may very likely cause a set-back be-
fore very long. The most recent
cloud on the horizon is the threat-
ening car shortage which promises
to assume serious proportions.’ Or-
ders" have gone forth from Wash-
ington that] all box cars. in eastern
states belonging to western lines
must be shipped back at once to their
owners Without loading. Further-
more gondola cars must be immed-
iately dispatched to the coal ﬁelds.
Michigan is greatly concerned over
this order which if carried out to the
letter will mean a state-wide poverty
of cars to move the bumper potato
crop and'the sugar beet crop. Al-
ready potatoes are congesting the 10-
cal markets for lack of cars, and
state authorities are beseeching the
railroads to rescind or amend their
orders, so. that Michigan may have
enough left to move her crops. It
is said that Minnesota, also a large
potato state, has received three
times as many cars as Michigan,
which if true, gives this state real
grounds for complaint.

Prices on all important farm pro-
ducts have an upward trend, with
the exception of potatoes. lmpov—
erished as she is Europe continues
to buy freely of our grain and many
dealers look for sky—rocketing prices
before the next harvest.

\VHEAT

Wheat prices march steadily up--

ward with only an occasional break.
The market news is mostly of a bull-
ish nature.
thousand bushels of wheat and rye
every day. 1 The great western crop
is being held back because of the car
shortage and quite frequently a
scarcity of visible grain develops on
the eastern markets. Breaks in the
market are principally caused by
proﬁt-taking. Those who bought
wheat at around $1 a bushel see no
reason for waiting for higher prices
when they can make 15 or 20 per
cent on their investments. Few be-
lieve that the bull movement in
wheat has run its course, and it is
freely predicted now that $1.50
wheat is only a few weeks away.

As seems usually to be the case,
only a comparatively small percent-
age of the actual producers of wheat
will receive the beneﬁt of the higher
prices. The bear movement in late
July and August was well engineer—
ed and frightened a lot of farmers
into. disposing of their grain. It is
now estimated that over 50 per cent
of the 1922 crop has left the farm-
ers’ hands and a good deal of that
is in the hands of the speculators
who are in a position to make huge
proﬁts on their purchases.

CORN
Trade in this market has been dull
and there has not been much action
to the market the past week. There
has not been much desire to press
the selling side, while new buyers

were discouraged by the falling off

in the demand for cash corn. In
general buyers are conﬁning their
purchases to grain already on the
market and ready for instant deliv-
ery. Receipts have not been heavy
as country offerings continue to be
small due to the car shortage. The
quality of the new crop is reported
to be ﬁne, although the amount is
«much less than at the beginning of
the 1921 season.

OATS

The oat market has been very
quiet the last week or so. The tone
of the market is steady although
trading is limited. Receipts from
the country continue to be restricted
by shortage of cars, but in most
cases they are sufﬁcient to take care
of local demand. Domestic shipping
demand is lighter than one week ago.

RYE

Rye, like other grains, followed
the trend of wheat the past couple
of weeks and the market is steady
at present. The closing days of last
week saw the grain unchanged in
some cases but prices at the close of
the week were nearly four cents
higher at Detroit than the close of
the week previous. Demand is good

for this grain, especially from the ‘_

seaboard, and we look ‘for consid-
erable higher prices withih the next
ninety days.

_ POTATOES ~

The potato market is without
life. What few sales were made
last week by farmers in this state
were at 25 to 35 cents per bushel.
Selling by'farmers has come to a.
virtual stand-still, the majority of

those who are. obliged to sell as-

soon as potatoes are dug having al-
ready done so. Mild weather has
added to the bearishness or the big
crop. We do not see how potato
prices can go much lower, because
farmers will simply not sell at pre-
vailing prices. ‘We anticipate that
as men as cold weather sets in the
market will liven up‘ a bit. The
par shortage is a factor that must
be reckoned with. Should mid-
