Around the World with ("IE (“LING
100,000 Miles Without Stopping for Oil

 , An inventor who could develop an automobile, a railroad car or any
~ j other conveyance on wheels which would perform such a feat would
be considered a wonder. But such is the record of regular
7 accomplishment by the Auto—oiled Aermotor durmg the past

3 eight years in pumping water. '

f ’ ‘ Did you ever stop to think how many revolutions the wheel
of a windmill makes? If the wheel of an Aermotor should roll along the surface

of the ground at the same speed that it makes when pumping water it would
encircle the world in 90 days, or would go four times. around in a car. It would
travel on an average 275 miles per day or about 30 miles per hour or9 hours each
day. An automobile which keeps up that pace day after day needs a thorough
oiling at least once a week. Isn't it marvelous, then, that a windmill. has been
made which will go 50 times as long as the best automobile With one ailing?

‘ i The Auto-oiled Aermotor after _8 full years of serv1ce inever
part of the world has proven its ability to run and give e most reliable serwce
with one oiling a year. The double gears, and all m vmg parts, are entirely

' enclosed and ﬂooded with oil all the time. It gives more service with less attention than
any other piece of machinery on the farm. To get everlasting Wind-mill satisfaction buy the
Auto-oiled Aermotor, the most eﬂ‘icient windmxll that has ever been made.

FRIDAY PREDICTS PROSPEROUS
- ,YEAR FOR FARMER
ONSIDERABLE- damage done to
fruit and truck by freezing dur-
ing month,” 9. statement from
the bureau of economics, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, concerning
the crop situation in the southern
states, bears out the prediction or
President David Friday, of M. A- 0.,
that Michigan is due for an unpre—
cedented period of agricultural pros-
perity.
“From a. purely selﬁsh stand-
point,” declared President 'Friday,
“the recent frosts in the southern

‘ states have done more to guarantee

good crop prices for Michigan pro-
ducers than any other factor."

He stated that Michigan Agricult-
ural College would not have to con—
duct an extensive research program
in agricultural marketing for the
next year, inasmuch as the farmers
could ﬁnd a ready market for their

products at prices far exceeding
those of any year since 1919.

“It will be a banner year for the
growers," he afﬁrmed, “and they can
thank the frost for it, almost en-
tirely.”

BIG REDUCTION IN POTATO

ACREAGE '
REPORT of special interest to
A commercial potato growers has
just been made by the statis-
ticians of the U. S. Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics in the leading.
potato states. By an exchange of
this information, L, Whitney Wat-
kins,’ Commissioner of Agriculture
and Verne H. Church, Agricultural
Statistician for Michigan, have been
able to make a report on the inten-
tions of potato growers with respect
to their operations in 1923, in Michi-

gan and competing potato states.

There is to be a decreased scre-
age in all principal potato states,

' but the market decrease will occur

in the western states where acute
car shortage prevented early moving,
of the crop, and where the low pre-
vailing prices and high freight rates
have made it unproﬁtable to market
at all in many sections. 'Colorado
expects to‘ reduce its acreage 20 per
cent; Idaho, 22 per cent; North
Dakota, 25 per cent; and South'Da-
kota, Nebraska and New Jersey, 15
per cent. These are the states that
showed the greatest increases in
acreage last year, and this report
shows the general tendency to re-
turn to normal.

Minnesota’s statistician estimates
a ten per cent decrease, Wisconsin
and New York will decrease their
plantings to the extent of six per
cent. Michigan eight per cent, Maine.
seven per cent and Virginia nine per
cent.

The eastern states were able to
clean up their last year’s crop fairly
well and if they can ﬁnance their
fertilizer purchases ' satisfactorily
will decrease their acr‘eages only a‘
few per cent. In the central states
like Michgian, the increased acreage
last year was principally in the
counties bordering on the main com-
mercial districts rather than on the
farmsgof large growers. The dis-
couraging prices at which many new
growers sold will cause some drop‘
out this year entirely or to reduce
their acreage.

The reductions indicated will
bring the acreage close to, or slight-
ly below that of two years ago. With
a normal yield, a crop sufficient for
the needs of the country should be
produced from that area. Such a
crop would not leave a large surplus
to force the price down below the
cost of production, as was the case
in 1922. With the tendency toward
the increased use of certiﬁed seed
and suitable commercial fertilizers,
better average yields per acre should
be obtained.

PLANT LESS ‘WHEAT THAN LAST ‘ i
‘ YE

AR

- SPECIAL inquiry was made this
year in ll states relative to
what farmers intended to plant.
This was in the nature of an ex-
periment to determine whether s‘uch
an inquiry would be for practical use-
each year in appraising farmers of,
the situation ln-other sections of the
country. The results exceeded ex—
pectations and the U. S. Bureau of
Agricultural Economics believes the

information will be helpful to farm- ,

ers' in planning their season’s work.
The following report was issued by
L. Whitney Watkins, State-Commis—
si'oner of Agriculture, and Verne H.

Church, U. S. Agricultural Statis- ,:

tician, on the subject.

For the United States, the acreage
of the principal crops" intended to be
planted, in percentage of last year’s
acreage grown for harvest is as fol-
lows: spring wheat, 94.5;‘ corn,
102.6; oats, 102.6; barley,
ﬂax, 189; potatoes, 90.9.

In Michigan, the tendency is for
an increase of principal crops except.
spring wheat ' and potatoes. The
spring wheat acreage, is a small fac—
tor and has decreased materially in ‘
late years, but a further decrease of
22 per cent is indicated by the re-
pors. The decrease in potatoes is
reported as eight per cent, or slight-
ly more than the increased plantings
made last year. An increase of one
per cent in corn, seven per cent in.
cats and .22 per cent in barley is re-
ported, but the backward spring and
shortage of labor will probably pre-
vent much of thi intended increase.
There is much interest in beans, and
reporters estimated an increase of
17 per cent over the large acreage
of last year. The marked increase
in the price offered for sugar beets
has stimulated interest in that crop
and a gain of 56 per cent over last
year is anticipated, last season’s
acre-age being far below normal.

 What ' the Present Legislature Has AccOmplished

'- 0f the Many Bills Proposed of Interest to Michigan Agriculture, Some Have Passed, Some Have
‘ Been Vetoed and Some are Marking Time Awaiting Support, from Home
By STANLEY M. POWELL

HILE the present session of the
Michigan State Legislature is
being accused. by the press and

public of enacting the least construc-
tive legislature of any session in
history, itxis refreshing to review its
accomplishments and to note the
friendly attitude shown toward
' Michigan agriculture. Perhaps this
is due to the fact that ’many of the
Senators and Representatives are
farmers themselves, perhaps it is
deem the fact that Michigan farm-
, are are today better organized than
ever before and their organizations
are co-operating in a, splendid way,
and perhaps it may be due to the
~fact that the public is realizing that
there can beno stable social condi-
tions or real prosperity until agri-
culture is placed on a sound ﬁnanc-
ial basis:

The law-makers seem to be re-
sponsive to the general public de—
mand for strict governmental econ-
omy and the adoption of a pay—as-
you-go policy. Appropriation requests
are being cut to the limit and no new
or radical expenditures have been
sanctioned. ,A bill has been passed
which will suspend for two years at
least the payment of state rewards
.on highways.

Corporation Tax Extended

It is generally agreed that there is
great injustice in the present dis-
tribution 'of the taxation burden in
Michigan and the Legislature has
.rbeen carefully considering various
proposals looking to a more equit-
able solution of this perplexing prob—
lem. One of the ﬁrst moves along
this line was an amendment to the
corporation tax law which will lower
the minimum from $50 to $10 and
considerably raise the maximum
above the present limit of $10,000.
The exact maximum is yet a subv
ject of disagreement between the
Senate and the House. The Senate
placed the ﬁgure at $50,000 while
the House wishes to assess the large
coroporations still more and would
place the maximum ﬁgure at $450,-
000. Both branches have agreed to
reduce the rate from 31/) mills to
2% mills on the capital stpck and
surplus of the coroporation.

The Byrum Income Tax

Perhaps the most far reaching of
all the proposed taxation changes
now being considered is Representa-
tive Byrum’s state income tax. This
measure would provide a straight 4
per cent tax on all personal incomes
in Michigan after exempting $1,000
for a single person, $2,000 for a
married and $400 for each child

under 18 years, or other dependent. .

This tax, which would yield' $16,-
000,000 or. $18,000,000 annually
would entirely replace the general
property tax for state purposes. It
would thus shift the burden of, state
support from real estate and person-
al property/which is already struggl-
ing under the heavy load of county,
township-city, village, school and
highway support and would, place it

upon those having comfortable in- '

comes many" of whom are not now
paying any taxes, except perhaps the
federal income taxes.

During the past week this state in-
come tax measure has been passed
by the House of Representatives and
is now being considered in the Sen-
ate. Enemies of the income tax are,
of course, extremely active and if

the memo is to receive support in-

the'Senute the members of that body
. must be assured that here is a strong
. demand,  it in their local commun-
H. «ﬁn-s  1 that

 

 

.tion.

‘ this bill was up in the _

ELEVATOR EXCHANGE BACKS CASE BILL

ENATE BILL No. 308 introduced by Senator Bernie L. Case,

ordered printed, and referred to the Committee on Agriculture.

To prevent unlawful discrimination in the purchase of potatoes
and to. provide punishment for the same.

The People of the State of Michigan enact.

Any per-

son, ﬁrm, co-partnership, corporation or association en—
gaged in the business of buying potatoes for the purpose
of resale, who shall, with the intention of creating a
monopoly or destroying the business of a competitor,
discriminate between different sections, localities, com-

munities or cities of this State,

by purchasing such

potatoes at a higher rate or price in one locality than is
paid for potatoes of like grade and quality by said per—

son, ﬁrm,

co-partnership or corporation

in any other

locality, after making due allowance for the difference,

if any, in the actual cost of transportation,

shall be

deemed guilty of unfair discrimination and upon convic—
tion thereof shall be’punished by a ﬁne not to exceed

ﬁve hundred dollars or by imprisonment

in the county

jail not to exceed six months. '

WHEREAS, the farmers’ co-operative marketing movement is

of the utmost importance to the greatest number of the people
I in Michigan including both farmers and consumers, and

WHEREAS, unjust discrimination on the part of competitors

purchasing agricultural products at several different points in

the state constitutes one of the most serious handicaps to the

farmers’ co-operative marketing

movement.

BE IT RESOLVED, that the board of directors of the Michigan
Elevator Exchange, representing one hundred and seven local co-
operative elevators and associations serving 2,500 farmers, hereby
requests, the members of the legislature to give the Senate Bill
N o. 308 introduced by Bernie L. Case, their support. -

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the agricultural committees
of both houses be requested to report the bill out as promptly as

' possible.

The secretary of the Michigan Elevator Exchange is hereby
instructed to forward copies of this resolution to the members of

of the said commitees.

enactment into the laws of Michigan
would 'be a. credit to the state.
Debate over this bill chiefly cent-
ered around Rep. Geo. Watson’s pro-
posal to attach a referendum clause
to the bill which would require its
submission to the voters before be-
coming eﬁective. This motion was
ﬁnally defeated and probably this
fact lost many votes for the bill, but
it was ﬁnally passed with votes to
spare.
_ Many representatives who were
personally strongly in favor of a
state income tax voted against the
Byrum bill because the voters in
their home districts had voted down
the state income tax constitutional
amendment at the last general elec—
Many of these representa-
tives admitted that the voters in
their districts were mislead as to
just how the income tax would ef-
fect them, and so voted against it
when in reality they would have
been greatly beneﬁted by its pasaage.
However they did not care to place
themselves in a position of peeming
to know more about what was good
for the voters than the voters them-
selves knew. ,
Rep. Nevins pointed out that there
were two or three voters to each tax
payer in Michigan and so it would
be hard to get the salaried men and
those securing their income from in-
vestments in tangible property to
vote an, income taxiuponthemselves.
He felt that it was up to the legis-
lature todecide this matter directly.
Rep. John Espie of Clinton county
called attention to thelarge propor-
tion of the wealth and earning pow-
er of the state which is not contrib-
uting to its support, and declared,

can lie _ c”

"this, state, cannot exist half taxed

Rep. Byrum, father of the bill, in
a masterly address urging the pas-
sage of his measure, called attention
to the general sentiment which has
developed throughout the State call-
ing for a reduction of the levy on
general property and a redistribution
of the burden of governmental sup-
port. He quoted ofﬁcial ﬁgures show-
ing the increase in taxes during the
last two decades and pointed out
that an ever increasing proportion
of the property of the State is unable
to pay these taxes. He declared that
this proposed income tax would not
be burdensome on any individual,
but would tax all in proportion to
their ability to pay and that it would
produce about $18,000,000 annually,
which would be sufﬁcient to ﬁnance
the State without any general prop-
erty tax for this purpose.

He pointed out that by making
the general property tax a purely
local matter it would encourage local
economy, because high property
taxes could not then be blamed on
the action of the Legislature. Local
economy is after all of ﬁrst import-
ance because 87 percent of all taxes
are local and only 13 per cent go to
the state. '

Highway Funds Biggest Problem

Early in the present session it
was realized that one of the biggest
taxatiOn problems of the state was
the matter of raising funds for high-
way purposes. Not only did this
.requ-ire larger amounts for construc-
tion of new roads and the mainten-
ance of roads already built, but
there was also the matter of the in-
terest “ind principal of the $32,000,-
000 of state highway bonds which
had b an issued and for which no ar-
rangements had. been made regard-
ing ﬁnal payment._ ,

After thorough analysis of'this
situation it was decided by many of
the leading law makers that a two
cent gasoline tax would be the most
workable and most equitable solu-
tion of this perplexing problem. In
accordance with this decision the
Warner two cent gasoline tax was
passed through both the House and
the Senate by substantial majorities.
HoWever, the Governor vetoed this
bill-and so the ﬁght was lost for this
session at least. The Senate now
appears willing to submit to the
Governor’s desire for a weight tax
on automobiles to bring in the need-
ed in-crease in revenue. .

Farmers \Vant Tax Commission

There is every indication that the
Legislature will yield to the desires
of the farmers’ organizations of the
state to retain the present state tax—
ation commission. It was proposed
to abolish this commission and cre-
ate a state department of taxation to
be controlled by one commissioner
to be appointed by the governor at
an annual salary of $6,000. It was
openly rumored that it was the plan
to ﬁll this position with a Detroit
man. In view of the great power
which he would have over the assess-
ment and equalization throughout
the state it would certainly not be
advantageous to the rural districts

'to centralize so much authority in

regard to taxation in the hands of 3.
Wayne County sympathizer. The

, bill never got out of the committee

aud'we trust that it never will.

Covert Act May be Amended

Abuses of the Covert highway law
led to a strong feeling among many
people and some of the representa-
tives that this law should be repeal—
ed. This moverment went so far
that Rep. Peter Lennon of Genessee
introduced a bill calling for the re-
peal of this measure. However, aft-
er thorough study of the situation it
has been decided that the objection-
able features of the law may be re-
moved while some of its advantages
may be retained. Consequently sev—
eral amendments to safeguard the
Covert act are now receiving consid-
eration and will no doubt become
law.

The Meggison Primary Bill

An equalization of the opportunity
for securing a primary school educa-
tion in all parts of the state is being
sought through the passage of the
Meggison bill providing for a new
method of distributing the primary
school interest fund. Under the
present law this valuable state aid
is apportioned directly in accordance
with the school census of the several
districts with no regard to the numb-
er of students attending school or to
the ability of the district to support
schools.

The Meggison bill which has al-
ready passed the House by a vote of
72 to 22 provides that the fund shall
be distributed directly in proportion
to the school census of the district,
directly in proportion to the school
attendance of children from that
district and inversely in proportion
to the equalized assessed valuation
of the district. The enactment of
this law will give the aid in propor-
tion as it is needed and will be a
greatboon to the proper and more
sparsely populated districts of the ‘
state where the valuation per school
child is very low and where the rate ,
for school purposes is consequently 
high at present. If this bill passes
the Senate it will be, no doubt, the -
greatest advance in educational pro-
gress which has ever been made pos—
sible by action of the Michigan State. , -
Legislature. .. " ' .

habit for New Yorkers to spend
much of their time reading advertis—

Took Cow to Start Campaign

The first inkling that New York)
had that the dairy farmers of the
League had something up their
sleeves was when the association
presented a ﬁne Holstein cow to the
Central Park animal farm. In his
presentation speech, President G. W.’
Slocum‘of the League said that the

association was giving this cow to

the city because there was so many
little boys and girls learning to
“‘dﬁnk good pure milk who did not

Sufﬁce to say that “Dairylea” has
proved herself to be one of the best
mixers in the park zoo and is rapid-

that the entire operation from the
time the milk leaves the udder of
the cow until it reaches the retailer’s
counter is in the control of the farm—
ers association. Their dairies pro-

duce it. Their plants‘ manufacture
it. It leaves them for a time while
it is being transported by railroad
to New York but there the League’s
own trucks pick it up again and
eventually deliver it at the door of
the retailer. In other words, 'the

New York is concerned, have con—

ated milk the full advertised price
without any deduction for middle—
men’s services.

This advertising and selling cam-
paign will gradually be extended to
other large centers and over the en—
tire eastern half of the United
States. Nothing like it has ever
been attempted by dairymen any—
where in the world. It is doubtful
if any more businesslike merchan—
dising campaign has ever been put.
on by any group of farmers any-x
where.

It is evident that the League

big on a big scale and effective when
they hired as sales and advertising

is anticipating great increases in its

CRUISER “DETROIT”
NEW SPEED QUEEN F’
UNITED STATES NAVY.
---Michigan's metropolis and
America’s fourth city has
been signally honored by
having the speed‘est boat
in the navy named after
her. Reports say that her
maiden trial trip which was
showed her to have a speed
of 30 knots per hour, the
fastest ship of her size in
the world. The new
“Detroit” represents a class
of speed cruisers developed
from the experience in the
late war. when it was
proven that the heavier
and slower boats were too
vulnerable to the aerial at-
tacks of bomb carrying
aeroplanes. The new type
of tripod mast, super-
seding the basket con-
struction is shown on this
new ship and her long
lines suggest more of the
torpedo-boatdestroyer.
than the heavier cruiser.
She will carry a crew of
over 1,000 men. The city
of Detroit presented the
ship w.th a beautiful ships
clock, suitably engraved
and of the ﬁnest workman—
ship. Perhaps with the
“lakes to ocean" canal
opened up, the cruiser
“Detroit.” may sometimes
visit the proud city whose
name she so ﬁttingly bears-
It has been suggested that
the “Detroit” be manned
with men whose homes
are in Michigan.

Contamination

 

 

HE water supply for the average
T country or farm home comes
from 9. Well or a spring. Wells
and springs may furnish ﬁne water,
or they may furnish water so unﬁt
for drinking as to cause disease or
death. In a limestone section there
are usually many ﬁne springs. Un-
fortunately, a good proportion of
these are so contaminated that the
water is unﬁt to drink. Many wells
are in the same bad condition. Most
of this contamination, however, is
due to causes which the farmer can
remedy easily at small cost.

Springs—While springs are some-
times contaminated from sources of
pollution a long distance aWay, most
of the trouble comes from nearby
places, such as an open privy, sur-
face drainage from the barn yard or
road, and similar easily preventable
causes. To eliminate these, a sani-
tary privy should be built, and sur—
face drainage diverted from the
spring.

The best way to prevent surface
drainage from entering and contam-
inating the water is to dig out the
spring carefully, going down into the
ground 18 to 24 inches, and then
walling up around the spring with a
tight wall and covering with a tight
cover, so that surface and rain wat-
er, animals and dirt cannot get in.
A concrete mortar does very well.

U. S. Weather Bureau Explodes Theory that Man Can Cause Rainfall~

AIN—MAKING is a futile under-
Rtaking, according to the Weather
.Bureau, United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. To produce
one inch of rainfall over an area of
an acre, approximately 113 tons of
moisture would have to be drawn up
into the air and then precipitated.
There are 640 acres in a square
mile, for which 72,320 tons of mois-
ture would be required. A square
mile, however, would be scarcely a
dot in the center of any section
where drought prevails, as in Ari—
zona or parts of Texas. It would
be less than one—seventh of the area
of the District of Columbia.
'Enormous forces are required in
nature to elevate moisture above the
earth before it can be precipitated.
Billions of horsepower are repre-
sented in the cloud that separate
over the house—tops; and even if
some artiﬁcial means werefound to
cause the aggregation and fall as
rain of the infinitesimal drops of
which it is made up, calculation
shows that only a triﬂing amount
of precipitation would result. There
must be some Way by which the
moisture laden atmosphere can be
lifted to a considerably higher alti-
tude, to lower its temperature and
thus precipitate a considerable part
of’its moisture content.
It is quite true that in the labor-
atory a. small amount of moisture
can be precipitated by the use of
special equipment. Meteorolig—ists of
- the Weather Bureau of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture say, that
 they do not know of any satanic for

The main object is to keep contami-
nation out of the spring. A pipe in
the wall makes a good outlet for the
water and prevents contamination by
dipping into the spring. .

Wells.-—There are various kinds
of wells, as shallow and deep; dug,
driven, or bored. The shallow dug
well, especially when it has an open
top, with a bucket to be let down in-
to the well, is nearly always contam—
inated in some way, though not al-
ways, of course, so as to produce
sickness or death.

Most of this contamination, except
in wells less than 8 or 10 feet deep,
enters from the top. In other words,
the ground water, especially when it

is 8 or 10 feet dowu is usually fairly
pure. But ﬁlth from the shoes of
persons using the well, from pigs and
dogs, and from the feet of chickens
which may have been scratching
around an open privy, enter through
or around the cover and polutes the
water, frequently causing disease.
Dug wells are usually 3 or 4 feet
in diameter and loosely walled with
stone, or occasionally with brick, but
the walls are seldom water tight.
ContaminatiOn from the ground sur-
face easily passes down and around
the cover, which is often nothing
more than rotting boards, and
through the loose wall into the wat-
er. Usually it is also easy for pol-

Is Organization Helping the Potato Men?

By KRIS P. BEliﬂS, Mason County Agricultural Agent

AT is organization doing for

the potato grower? That ques—

tion confronts potato growers
as they look back upon the past sea—
son, with its over-production in the
Northwestern States, due to plung—
ing in potatoes by owners of sow-
thistle infested Wheat land.

The Michigan Potato Growers Ex-
_change at Cadillac, now afﬁliated

havior. 'Widespread drought is due
to lack of sufﬁcient moisture in the
atmosphere and the absence of other

conditions essential to the formation '

of rain. If there is little moisture
to bring down, obviously no device
for causing rain artiﬁcially has any
value, because of the absurdity of
supposing that human agencies can
supply adequate amounts of water
for extended areas when the atmos-
phere itself is practically dry.
In spite of these facts, statements
appear at intervals in“the press her-
alding new ways of making rain,
preventing rain or fog, or forestal—
ling the disastrous effects of storms.
These ideas are not new. Ten years
or more ago certain countries in
Europe were thrown into excite-
ment, reﬂected in the newspapers,
over the possibility of a scheme
called “hail—shooting.” It was be
lieved that by shooting bombs into
the air before an oncoming storm it
thus averting
consequent destruction to crops
from rain or hail. Contrary to the
opinions of the best "meteorologists
a good deal of money was spent in
experimenting with “hail-shooting,"
but little is ever heard of it now.
More recently, in our own coun-
try, a man achieved prominence by
advertising a Icontrivance, which he
proposed to build at various points
where more rain would be welcome.
This scheme was entirely from pro-
posals to shoot bombs. sprinkle hy-

with the Farm Bureau, offers the
only grower—controlled agency for
selling potatoes in Michigan. It
sells for co-operative farmers’ asso-
ciations only, and is runfrom the
bottom up. It is out to get every
cent it can for the grower.

Most of you will remember that
back in March, in that period of

which occur in storms and cyclones
when rain is' produced. This plan
is futile and economically impos—
sible. _

The case of the man who con-
tracted with farmers in drought-
stricken regions to produce an inch
or more of rainfall within a period
of two or three months for a con-

sideration of $1,000 'per inch is well

known. This man, claimed to be
able to cause rain by a secret pro—
cess with the use of chemicals. If
the rain came and the man collected
his fees; if the rain failed he lost
nothing. Now the average amount
of rain for each region is accurately
recorded, and under a long drought
and within the limits of the record
aLshrewd operator is quite safe in
promising precipitation and collect-
ing, $1,000 per inch from desperate
farmers. \

A recent proposal is to cause pre-
cipitation sprinkling dust part—
icles in the air by means of appar-
atus carried on airplanes, on the
theory that these will aid condensa-
tion. Cloudiness due to dust part-
icles, however, takes place long be-
fore precipitation occurs, and fre-
quently continues after the rain is
over, indicating that the motes and
dust particles do not necessarily
cause precipitation. If clear weather
follows rainfall, it may be because
new dry air has moved in from other
localities. ”

Presence or absence of dust part-
icles in the atmosphere does not... in
the opinion of meteorologists. have
any thing to do with the distribution
of rainfall. As a rule, more

 

  
  
 
 

     

 

lution to soak directly thr‘ough the
board cover into the well. Even a
stone cover allows plenty of chance
for the entrance of ﬁlth and contam-
ination.

The driven Well is better, for the
iron pipe is tight all the way to the
ground water, but there should be
protection around the top to prevent
the passage of surface wash down
along the pipe to the ground water.

Open top wells with buckets are
most dangerous, for they allow dirt
and animals to enter; while the
bucket, handled by every user, is us-
ually soiled with many kinds of dirt
and ﬁlth. The bucket ought to be
replaced with a pump, and the well
protected with a tight top and cas-
ng.

Of equal importance is a tight top.
This should be made of concrete, as
shown. Dig out around the well to
a depth of 6 inches for 2 or 3 feet
back from the well hole. Lay tim=
bers across to hold the concrete,
while setting, and pour the cover,
placing the pump so there will be no
leakage around it; or the cover may
be poured in another place and. mov-
ed over the well. In either case, re—
inforcing is desirable, if the well is
more that 30 inches in diameter.
Wagon axles, iron rods, iron pipe,
etc., make good reinforcing.—-—The

precipitation. On the other hand,
enormous quantities of rainfall oc-
cur over the ocean where there is
least dust. Some places in the Ha-
waiian Islands have an annual rain—
fall exceeding 500 inches, and yet
the air is nearly dust free.
most dust in the atmosphere, except
near industrial cities, occurs over
dry and semi—arid regions.

The suggestion has also been
made that powdered quicklime be
employed to precipitate ’moisture.
On this point the Weather Bureau
says that dry, powdered quicklime,
exposed to the atmosphere absorbs
a certain quantity of moisture—that
is, it dries the air. Dry quicklime

It outstrips any lubricant on the market in maintaining its body through
any extreme of temperature. Its elasticity and adhesiveness cause a per-

Don’t fool yourself into fancied security, by thinking, “Oh, the oil I'm
using works all right—why bother to change? It’s just as good!” There
is no “just as good,” or even “second best” lubrication. There is one right
lubricant for your tractor. It is speciﬁed in the Chart. When you do
not use this lubricant, you fail to get the maximum of economy, eﬂiciency
and saving of wear on your engine. Change your motor oil very fre-

HAVE MORTGAGE RENEWED
A loaned B a certain amount of

,money and took a mortgage on P-‘s
farm.

The mortgage was to run for‘
three years and will expire the 17th
of this month. The interest is 7%.

‘ the amount A loaned was $1700, and
'all that B has paid in the last three

years is $100. Now A doesn’t xvant
the principal or the farm, either.
All he wants is the interest! What
A wishes to know is this: What is
to be done at the expiration of the
mortgage to compel B to may the in-
terest? Or if A is compelled to

foreclose, what proceedings must he'

go to?—A. R. H., Elmira, Mich.
——If' A is willing to forego his right
of forclosure, it seems that B ought

to be willing to pay the interest on"

the loan without coercion. If he is
not willing to do this, suit may be
brought to recover the interest
alone, without foreclosing the mort-
gage. A should, upon the termina-
tion of the mortgage, have it re-
newed or take other steps to pro-
vide for the security of hisﬁoanr—
Assistant Legal Editor.

CHANGING SCHOOL DISTICTS

About three years ago I purchased
a farm at Lowell, Mich., I did not
know at the time that, by request of
the owner who had children to edu-
cate, it had been set over into the
school district of the town of Lowell.
Now, I beg that, I may be informed
as to what proceedure to take to
have it set back into the rural school
district where it territorially and
naturally belongs? Can my right to
be set back into the district where
this farm formerly was, be ques-
tioned? In other words, is there‘
any condition under which I could
be compelled to remain in the town
district?—D. W., Pennsylvania.

-——It would be necessary ﬁrst that
you get the written permission of
the board of education of Lowell to
have,this farm transferred to an-
other district. This permission will
have to be granted at a meeting of
the school board of Lowell, and a
copy of the resolutions granting the
permission ﬁled with the township
board where this territory is located.
The township board may set the ter-
ritory out into the other district.

The law governing this proceedure
is found under Sections 5655—56 of
the Compiled Laws of 1915, pages
21-22 of the 1921 school laws, and
Section 5737 of the Compiled Laws
of 1915, page 68 of the 1921 school
laws—W. L. Coffey, Dept. of Public
Instruction.

DEFAULTS IN PAYMENTS

A and B bought 80 acres of land
on a contract. They agree to pay
$100 per payment. Contract reads
$100 or more on January 30th of
each year until full amount is paid.
A and B are to each pay half and
each own a forty. Now B made a
payment then sold his contract to C
(contract being transferred was
again signed by all parties) C soul
to D and took a mortgage of $250
and tax said mortgage to X for
cash. Now D’s payment is due
January 30th and he cannot meet it.
A had to pay it in order to get hold
his forty. The contract being for
80 acres. Agreement for each a
forty. What I want to know is:
How long must A give D to pay the
payment back? If A keeps pay-
ments etc., up can he get a deed for
the eighty without any trouble?
Can X collect that mortgage of $250
which was given unknown to owner
and A? The contract was not sign-

ed when transferred last time. A’s
contract has never been changed in
any shape or form since ﬁrst written
in 1917. The party holding the
mortgage has the other contract, a
copy of A’s, but mortgage is only
pinned on. Is it lawful to pin a
mortgage to a contract?——P. E. A.,
Aloha, Michigan.‘

——VVhen one of two or more joint
purchasers in a land contract pays
more than his share of the purchase
price, he has a right of contribution
from the others for their share.
C’s transfer to D would give D the
same rights and liabilities in the
contract that C had. If D defaulted
in his payments, and A, in order to
prevent forfeiture, keeps up D’s pay-
ments, then as soon as A had paid
the entire purchase price, he
could proceed against D for contri-
bution of his share.

The mortgage of the vendee in a
land contract takes no greater rights
than the vendee had; he simply ac—
quires the right to purchase the
property for the consideration stipu—
lated in the contract of purchase,
and a right to require a conveyance
from the vendor according to the
terms of the contract. Consequent—
ly C here is liable to A for contri-
bution of D’s share of the contract
price which A paid, and before C
can satisfy his $250 debt out of
the mortgaged property, he must
make contribution to A for the delin-
quent payments of D. X, as C’s
purchaser, or assignee, would be
subject to the same liability to A.

If the contract is made to several
purchasers jointly, one could not
arbitrarily take the title in his own
name—Assistant Legal Editor.

SA‘VING LUMBER FOR MARKET

Would you please advise me how
to cut and saw the following logs?
Red oak, maple, elm, ash, white oak
and hickory to the best advantage
of the manufacturuer? Also how
small may I take the trees if they
are clear?——-C. F. E., St. Clair, Mich.

—I would not advise cutting or
sawing until you had taken the mat-
ter up directly with the purchaser
and obtained the speciﬁcations want-
ed. It usually pays the owner of
woodlot timber better to sell his
product in logs rather than in lumb—
er. Lumber cut on a portable mill
in a farm woodlot is usually either
too thick or too thin, does not make
the best use of the grades and the
purchaser of the lumber, if it goes
to a lumber yard or manufacturing
establishment, is put to considerable
expense and bother in having it gone
over by a grade inspector before be—
ing a’ccepted. ' The woodlot operat-
or usually fails to see the justice of
the grading and is therefore unsatis—
ﬁed with his returns.

The minimum diameter to which

trees may be cut Would depend
largely on the use to which the
timber was to be put. Bolts for

hickory handles must be at least 4
feet long by 6 inches in diameter at
the small end. Timber for vehicles
and vehicle parts usually requires at
least 16 foot logs with a 7 inch di-
ameter at the top. White oak for,
tight cooperage should be at least
18 inches in diameter and veneer
stock the same. The timber usual-

lumber until it gets to be about 14

The most valuable growth comes
from 14 inches D. B. H. to 18 or 20,

slows up and decay may set in al—

sor, Dept. of Forestry, M. A. C.

 

ALLOWED 30 DAYS TO REDEEM
I have been a subscriber for your

paper‘for the past few months and»

note you always help a fellow when
he is down. I would like informa-
tion in regard to a farm contract.
We have a payment due soon,
owing to the exceptionally poor
ﬁnancial year we will not be able
to meet the principal. The contract
is the usual legal form. If the party
holding same insists on payment of
principal and refuse to continue
same. how long could we hold the
farm?—Reader, Traverse City, Mich.
——Compiled Laws of 1915, Secs. 13-
240—13257 providing for foreclosure
of land contracts, provides that the
vendee shall be allowed 30 days in
which to redeem the premises after
judgment is rendered against him in
the forclosure proceedings—Asst.
Legal Editor.
KEEPING CHILI) AFTER SCHOOL
Would a teacher have the right to
make a pupil stay after school each

night if he could not pass the
monthly tests?—-K. Y., Jamestown,
- Mich.

——The statutes remain silent with
reference to the type of punishment
that may be administered by the
teacher. The Supreme Court has
rendered a decision that the teacher
has delegated parental control over
the children while under her juris-
diction and that she has authority to
administer any reasonable punish-
ment. Conditions might arise where
in the teacher's judgement the ap-
propriate type of punishment would
be to require a child to remain after
school.

If in the case in question the pup-
il’s failure was due to wilful neglect
or carelessness on his part the teach—
er might deem it advisable to re-
quire him to devote a little extra
time to study and special prepara-
tion after school.—B. J. Ford, Div-
ision of Rural Education, Dept. of
Public Instruction.

NO SATISFACTORY METHOD TO
CONTROL SPARROWS

What can I do to kill the English

sparrows round my barn, something

that will not harm chickens, cats or

my dog if they Should eat it or eat

the sparrows?—O. R. D., Manoe—
lona, Mich.
——~There is no satisfactory method

yet envolved for the control of the
English Sparrow. In spite of all
the control measures used thus far,
the bird maintains its numbers and
only by concerted ‘ fforts and persist-
,ent measures can any relief be as—
sured from the pest. The Govern-
ment Sparrow Trap, made according
to the directions which were issued
by the Biological Survey Department
of Agricultural, Washington, D. C.,
is sometimes successful in reducing

the number or Sparrows. , Persist-i“
ent destruction of the nests about
barns and out-buildings on the farm
is also effective. The use. of poison
has several bad features. Contrary
to general belief, there is no poison

_ known which will kill Sparrows and

at the same time be harmless to oth-
er birds and animals. During the
winter season, when snow covers
much of the available food and our
native birds are in the south, it is
possible .to use poison with a fair
degree of success. At the present
time‘(April) it is not so effective a
control measure. The poison‘ us-
ually used is strychnia sulphate.
Dissolve one-eighth ounce of strych-
nine crystals in two quarts of water,
then soak four quarts of Wheat in
this solution for forty-eight hours,
and spread out in a safe place to dry.
Bait the Sparrows to a selected feed-
ing place inaccessible to birds, doves
or poultry and when they are accust-
omed to coming there to feed, spread
out poisoned grain. Pick up the
bodies of dead birds, sweep up pois-
oned grain not eaten, and. burn both.
Since this poison is dangerous to all
animals and birds, handle it “with
extreme care—Allen C. Conger, As-
sociate Prof. of Zoology, M. A. C.

BELIEVES HE IS OVERTAXED

1 am writing in regard to our
taxes on 8 acres of land. The valu-
ation is $1,180 and the taxes for this
year $70.12. There is no personal
property on the place. If the taxes
were $70.80 that makes 6 cents on

the dollar. Is it lawful for that
town to tax it that high? If so,
what are the limitations? How

much can they lawfully assess on a
dollar?-—O. L., Ellsworth, Michigan.

—-—The amount of money a township
may raise by taxation for ordinary
expenses is limited by law, the max-
imum amount depending upon the
population of the township. This
does not apply to levies for speciﬁc
purposes, however, and in order to
determine whether you are over-tax-
ed it would be necessary to investi-
gate the tax rolls and ascertain for
what purposes the taxes are levied,
and whether the limit is exceeded
for any of those items—Asst. Legal
Editor.

HORSEHIDE ROBE
I would like to know how to soft-
en a spot about a foot square, in a
horsehide robe, which was caused
by placing it over a frozen radiator
while thawing it out. (The radiator
contained a solution of about 50 per
cent alcohol.) The steam of the
solution caused the robe to harden.

, B. D. R., Holland, Mich.

———Try applying butter (not salted)
lard or most animal fat. If this has
no effect, try using warm water to
first soften and them apply the fat
or.-most animal oil. The work should
be done in a warm room and the
hide rubbed and worked for an hour
or more, giving~several applications
of the butter, lard or whatever you
are using—Fur Editor.

 

SIGNS OF OIL

We have an open well about 7 feet
deep where we water our cattle and
horses in the winter, and there is al-
ways oil on top. Some days so
much that we have to dip of! the top
or the horses will not drink it at all.
It has been like that for years. Do
you think it might be an oil well'f

phenomenon.

 

southeastern; Michigan, such signs;

 'appeanito..have>.no signiﬁcance other
than indicating that oil formations

are present. There is a belt extend-
ing through southeastern Michigan
in which seegages of oil and gas are
very common about ponds, around
springs, and in wells. In fact in
many .places the seepages are sufﬁc-
ient to make the water unﬁt for
stock use even, except in the manner
described. Some of the farmers in
the vicinity of Royal Oak and War-
ren, orthwest of Detroit, ﬁnd so
much gas in their water wells

Abbas- hey separate the water and use

the ga or heating and lighting pur-
poses. S e of these wells last sev-
eral years.) There are large gas
springs th ughout the belt extend-
ing from,Alcona county northward,
in an are around to Manistee where
geolo'ical conditions are similar to
thos in southeastern Michigan.

T e reason for these signs appears
to ~ ie in the fact that the above des-
belts lie directly over the
of formations Which are
nown to contain oil and gas. These
substances are constantly escaping
from the edges of these formations
upward into the sands and gravels in
the surface deposits which cover
the underlaying bed rocks. The
surface seepages may be some miles
away from the pools if they exist.
There is little to indicate just where
the most favorable places are for the
occurrence of pools. There are de—
ﬁnite possibilities for oil through—
out the belt extending from north of
Port Huron southeastward into
Ohio. Many small oil and gas wells
have been drilled in and about Port
Huron. The Mt. Clemens mineral
wells yield very considerable quanti-
ties of gas and some of them have
yielded oil. At least one of the
bath houses uses gas from its wells
to aid in ﬁring its boilers. \

Judging from your address your
farm lies in the northern belt of
seepages. Anywhere in the belt
northeastward around to Al'cona
County would be favorable for such
The largest surface
gas well ever struck in Michigan was
on Portage Lake, just north of Man-
istee. The oil formations lie direct—
ly beneath conway and seepages in
that region are to be expected.

As to analysis of the sample, I
would advise that if you send us a
sample of 'the oil as skimmed from
the water we would be very pleased
to make a qualitative chemical ex—
amination, free of charge. We
would like, however, an exact des—
cription of the occurance, the precise
location, and any other information
which might have any bearing on
the explanatic‘i of the local causes.

CAN RECOVE‘E FROIVI COMPANY

Last November I sold my white"~

pea beans at the elevator and I ask—
ed them to screen three bushels of
them and save them for me, which
they said they would and so I paid
them for screening them. The ele-
vator at that time wasn’t in working
condition, therefore they couldn't
screen them that day. When I
went to get the beans they said they
had forgotten to save out the beans
but admitted they remembered my
telling them to save and screen three
bushels. They wanted me to take
three bushels of beans which they
had gotten in afterward but wanted
me to pay the difference in price;
in the meantime beans had raised in
price. I have called them up a num-
ber of times and they keep putting
me off. I understand they have
quit buying .produce now and the
building is up for sale. How can I
get my seed beans? I am not in a
ﬁnancial condition that I can stand
to lose these beans—N. R., Sand
Lake, Mich.

-If you left the beans withlthe ele-
vator company with instructions to
screen and save them for you, and
they failed to save them, I am of the
opinion you could recover from the
company whateVer amount would be
sufﬁcient to purchase the same
amount of beans, of like quality, at

GROWTH OF SWEET CLOVER

FIRST SEASON
ask you'a question

‘ If it Was sowed

' ts couldvlrout hay
u an

 

 

it equal to alfalfa?—R. 8., Harrison,
Mich. ’ ’
—The growth made by sweet clover
the ﬁrst season will depend very
largely upon soil and seasonal con-
ditions. When the soil is well sup-
plied with lime, of fair fertility, and
there is plenty of. rainfall, sweet
clover usually produces a crop of
hay the same season as sown. How-
ever, if the soil is inclined to be
somewhat acid, or the season a little
too dry, sweet clover will not make
much of a growth. It should be cut
early enough so that the plants will
make ﬁve or six inches of top growth
to prevent winterkilling. Sweet
clover is a leguminous crop and the
hay is quite high in feeding value,
but hardly equal. to alfalfa hay.—
C. R. Megee, Farm Crops Dept.,
Mich. Agricultural College.

collecting the taxes than such. A
again makes inquiry for the year

Bovine 'l‘iiboncnlooie medication

Farm organizations and pure—bred
live stock associations have united
behind an adequate ﬁve-year pro-
gram for the eradication of bovine
tuberculosis in Michigan. A bill
has already passed both branches of
the legislature \which paves the way
for county co-operation in carrying
out this work and an adequate ap-
propriation bill to ﬁnance-the indem-
nities on condemned cattle during
the next two years is receiving fav-
orable consideration in the Senate.
If this disease can -be checked and
stamped, out in Michigan it will be 0f
great direct ﬁnancial beneﬁt to Mich-
igan farmers and dairymen and will
promote .the health of Michigan citi-
zens.

A Foresting' Measure

From the standpoint of the north-
ern part of the state perhaps one of
the most important bills is Rep. Meg-
gison’s' measure, Which is intended
to promote useful forest growth in
the state. One of its chief provis-
ions allows land carrying a satisfac-
tory timber stand to be taxed an-
nually on its bare—land value with-
out regard to the value of fhe tim-
ber which is accumulating. Then at
the time when the timber is matur-
ed and ready for market a. harvest

p tax would be assessed.

Friends of the bill point out that
an annual tax on the accumulated
value of all of the stand of timber is
not adapted to such a long—time crop
and that in actual operation-it re—
sults in the timber being harvested
long before it is mature. It is
thought that this bill would result
in more forests in'Michigan and in
their more efﬁcient handling.

To Curb the “Land-Sharks"

Another measure which has for its
purpose the orderly settlement and
development of the northern portion
of the State is also being sponsored
by Rep. Meggison. This bill was
drafted by the Development Bureau
of the State Department of Agri~
culture and is the so—called “Land
Certiﬁcation” bill. This bill has
been considered for several weeks by
the House Judiciary Committee and
has ﬁnally been so amended that is
satisfactory to them and it will, no
doubt, pass the House at an early
date. It is the purpose of this bill
to prevent the land sharks from
dumping worthless land on prospec-
tive Michigan settlers and thus giv—
ing Michigan real estate a. black eye.

Farmers Defeat Full-Crew Bill

Farm organizations were, no
doubt, largely responsible for the de-
feat in the Senate of th proposed
full crew railway bill. Thi' measure
would require an additional ﬂag man
on certain speciﬁed trains and would
set a visious precendent whereby
labor could dictate to the railroads
in regard to their operating condi-
tions. As long as we continue to
make it harder for the railroads and
increase their operating cost we can-
not logically ask them for lower
rates on farm products which we buy
and sell.

For Cheaper Steel

At the request-of the Michigan
State Farm Bureau a resolution was
passed by both Houses of the Legis-
lature urging Congress and the Int—
terstate Commerce Commission to
take immediate steps to abolish the

Pittsburgh Plus basis. Pittsburgh
Plus it is explained is a shrewd prac-
tice of those engaged in steel manu-
facture of selling'all rolled steel on
the Pittsburgh price, plus the freight
from Pittsburgh to point of delivery.
Michigan steel, it must be remember-
ed, comes largely from- Gary and
South Chicago where it can be manu-
factured much more cheaply than at
Pittsburgh.» Despite this fact we
must pay the higher Pittsburgh price
and the phantom freight all the way
from Pittsburgh.
Filled. Milk Bill a Law

Another bill which was also pre
pared and sponsored by the State
Farm Bureau would prevent the
manufacturer and sale within the
state of “ﬁlled milk,” milk from
which the butter fat has been wholly
orpsrtily removed and replaced With
a vegetable oil. This bill has ah

   
 

 

 

practice of selling all steel on the.

« western G

Enactment of this measure stunts

time is regarded as most timely live-A '

cause Michigan Farm Bureau aﬁci-
als discovered that ﬁlled milk menu-

fscturing companies which had been 

.‘outlawed in other states were plan-
ning to move their machinery and
equipment to Michigan. ‘
i not a. healthful product and does
not contain. the necessary vitamines
to make a good food for children so
the passage of this law not only ben-
eﬁts farmers and dairymen but city
dwellers as well.

Eastern Time Detected

After considerable debate the
House of Representatives defeated
the bill which would make eastern
time the standard time for Michkan.
This proposal had quite general op~

position among the‘rural districts

who feel that they get up early
enough as it is without turning
the clock ahead. Fruit and produce
growers and dairymen have especial—
ly hostile to the faster time. If the
city people want to go to work a.
little earlier in the morning the
farmers will be perfectly willing.

Standardization Bills Pending

In an eﬂort to standardize Michi-
gan farm products and increase their
demand on the big markets, several
bills have been passed setting up
deﬁnite state standards and grades
and requiring honest labeling, in or-
der that the consumer may know
what he is purchasing.

A bill has already been passed and
become a law which sets up fat
and moisture content standards for
cheese and requires honest labeling.
perhaps with this law we may win
back some of the trade which W'is-
consin, with its standardized and
guaranteed cheese has won from us
during the past few years.

At the request of the grape grow-
ers, a bill has been passed setting
up three standard grades of grapes
sold in closed packages within the
state. An amendment to the apple
standards bill is now being consid—
ered.

There is some prospect that Mich-
igan may take the lead in the adop-

Filled mun"

tion of a state truth-in-fabric his" ‘

Wyoming passed such an not two
years ago and has found it very
successful. State legislatures in sev-
eral other states now have similar
measures under consideration.

Even the friends of this proposal
are agreed that a federal law would
be preferable to a state act, but they
point out that Michigan had a-state
pure food law 15 years before the
federal enactment was secured. Rep.
Sanson of Caro has a. very conserva—
tive and workdblelstate truth-in-fab~
ric bill which he has succestully
piloted through the House commit-
tee of the whole. His bill is now up
for ﬁnal passage on third reading
by that body.

Through fair and unprejudiced leg—
islative news sent out by Michigan
State Farm Bureau to all of the
weekly papers of the state the resi-
dents of rural districts have been
kept better informed .on legislative
issues than ever before. Perhaps
this knowledge on the part of the

folks back home regarding just what ,

sort of representation they were get-

ting and what important issues af— 

fecting agriculture were pending has
had something to do with the en-
actment of this beneﬁcial agricultur-
al legislation.

Many important bills effecting the
farmer still await ﬁnal passage and
it would be well worth the time of
any rural citizen to watch closely.
what takes place during the next
two weeks. Let your Senator and
Representative know what you think
about these issues. He is there to
carry out your wishes. That's what
you sent him there for.

' “01‘ things are passed away,” be- .

A- Sweeping, revolutionary state-
ment. But it is. It carries
with it a revolutionary spirit and
law. It gets clear entirely of
Paul poses as an.-
reiormer who is crying,
It sounds
like the cry _of the Bolsheviki.
It seems to say there is'nothing good
in old beliefs and ways; we must
strike out entirely on new paths. ‘
, because of this new temper

ardent

.in Christ’s teaching, Christianity was-

looked upon as a class movement by
some. Why? Because of the prom-

release. It piqued the. church lead—
ers because of its seeming favoritism
and its: breaking down of a conven-
tional and unsocial religion: and
rulers tried to crush it, because, they

said, it subverted all good. govern.

ment. -
But did Paul have reierence to
sudden revolution in. church and
state? No. Discerning readers of
the apostle know that he refers to a.
spiritual revolution in the individu—
al; and thru this individual, to a
new and reconciled society. He is

summoning an inner and. true esti-‘

mate of things and values. He is
saying we need a new look upon life,
and not according to worldly esti-
mates. According to Moﬂat, he is
emphasising, not “externals,” but
“inward reality.” Said Livingston,
“I will place no value on anything I
have or may possess except in rela-
tion to the Kingdom of God.” Liv-
ingston demonstrated the reality of
this Pauline doctrine. Have you?

The annauls of history are ﬁlled with .

the names of those who caught this
new thing; this new way of life. “Is
your name written there?” And
many, to have their old life merge in-
to the now, must pay the martyr’s
price. How much are you paying?

From now on, says Paul, I know

’Christ .no longer after the ﬂesh, after

externals; but in inner conscious-
ness. The historical Christ had be-

come the spiritual,_ abiding Christ.

“It is no longer I that live,‘ but
Christ that liveth in me.” This
Pharisee, “as touching the law," be-

' came a mystic, as touching the spirit,

Life no longer consisted in forms, rit-
uals, ordinances, and sense matters.
The apostle demonstrated in his own
life the truth that, “If any man be in
Christ” he has passed out of these
into the new, creative things of the
spirit. And it ought to be said
here, that nothing in the church to-
day, so hurts its progress as the me-
chanical theory of salvation and ar-
bitrariness as to its ordinance life.
It cuts the nerve of stewardship and
is blighting to the spirit of unity.
Here is where we may well pray that
this old, unreasoning, uncharitable,
spirit may pass away. Yet, for most
of us, there is something fine and
beautiful and necessary in symbol
worship. Only, let us be charitable
about external-s.

Old things have been made into
new. This is the divine way. It is
the law of transformation, not des-
truction. We ﬁnd it illustrated in
Creation; in the scientiﬁc law of mat-
ter and energy; in the vegetable
kingdom where the old seed becomes
the new grain; and in the la-wa the
resurrection which give us a new
body out of the old.

And so, there shall be "a new
heaven and a new earth." Not thru
destruction or annihilation, but thru
transformation. .This new earth ‘is
to be ﬁlled with transformed individ-
uals. ,Faith will have the world
getting continually newer and freer.
Life is full of promise and good in
proportion as we accept the spiritual
companionship of Christ; the saving
mission of the church; and the new,
moral push in the doings of men.
Said a friend and bank president to

me, “There is a place for everyone

to grab hold.” This is , true since
new and brotherly plans are engag-
ing the thoughts of men. A great
moral revolution is on and I am. sure
it is. the spirit of the lowly Nazarene

to maintain 0M, wot-moat opinions

and allegiances and try to galvanize
them into new life. But would adapt
the principle in new methods and
loyalties, to ‘meet changes and cust-
oms in human lite. Just this is the
Secret of growth in a religion that

was dedicated by Christ to the uni- .
Andat this writing .we :

have; no better 'evidence of this in the

church realm, than a change of front ’

on the part of foreign missionaries,

relative to the demands of a western ‘

denominationalism of the natives of
the Orient. Good, virtue, love, light,
faith—these do not change but they
take new forms. ‘

And this is the testimony of his-
tory. The Jewish nation 'passed‘
away, but not her witness to the true
God. Imperial Rome tell, but not
her witness to the necessity of law
and order. Similarly, we are be-
holading world changes in our day.
f‘ wermnents are being made over in-
to new forms. God is working thru
it all that the old may become new.

And who cannot trace the opera-
tion of this law in science and inven-
tion. What startling achievement
by man in our owu day thru a co-
working with God’s laws. “For thou
hast made him (man) but little low—
or than God, and crownest him with
glory and honor.” All hail THE
MAN! And may his transﬁgured
fOIIOWers soon come into their prom—
ised dominion. Even now, “The
meek shall inherit thenearth." They
may pass from the old to the new.

But again, we have the witness of
the church to this new creation. For
the sin of Adam, God did not destroy
the race. But out of a fallen, per—
verted, human nature he provided
for a converted nature. He took a
man of flesh (Jesus) and made him
the groundwork of a new man. Man,
which fell in the ﬁrst Adam was
made new in the second Adam. God
came to our earth in man, and not to
destroy, but to fulﬁl; to perfect and
make complete. The Jewish temple,
rites and practices were established
by God only as parenthetical provis—
ions in the process of developing this
new creature. Their meaning is per—
Hence
we are not come unto the old Sinai
but unto ‘the new Sinai; “unt
Mount Zion, and unto the city of the
living God, * * * * to the spirits of
just men made perfect" and to Jesus,
the mediator of a new covenant.“

The old perishing world is passing,
friend. And Where do you stand? A
recent magazine says, “We are on
the very threshold of a new age. The
dates are unimportant, for in the ad—
vance of the plan of the ages it is
not the sharp-cut dates, but periods
of time, that are important. 01d
things pass away in a fading out pro—
cess; new things gradually dawn.
Only on looking backward do the
people usually realize that “a great
thing took place back there. Sur—
prisingly few of the real turning
points of the world come amid signs
and wonders and people standing in
awe if what is passing. In the
minds of most, the War was THE
cataclysm, because it was noisy; but
something greater than the War, tho
much less clamorous, is in passage
now.”

Jenny Lind, after discovering her
power as a singer, was given a new
outlook on life. She said, “I got up
that morning one creature and went
to bed another.” A good, Christian
woman said to me “I have passed
out of bondage into liberty." These
are free testimonies to a. new crea-
tion. Verily, we are given a new
My Father is
near when I know the love and sym-
pathy and attention he bestows upon
Christ he bestows upon me. Judg-
ment is gone. Gloom, suspicion, and
doubt are passed away. And when,
men, everywhere, will give “con—
scious allegiance” to the new, crea-
tive power of Christ; when they are
ready to line up with Christian duty
and “brotherhood obligations; then,
“old things are passed away; behold
they are become new.” Then will
have come to pass the Patmos dream,

“‘I saw a new heaven and a new

earth, for the ﬁrst heaven and the
ﬁrst earth are: passed away.”

“Joanne!
.. :Joanne!" ,
She swayed as he sprang ‘to her,
but she was smiling——smiling in that
new and wonderful way as her arms
reached out to him, and the words he
heard her say came low and sobbing:

“John—John, if you want to, now
-—-—you can tell me that my hair is
beautiful!” ' .,

And she was in his arms, her
warm, sweet body crushed close to
him, her face lifted to him, her soft

.hands stroking his face, and over
and over again she was speaking his
name while from out of his soul
' there rushed forth the mighty ﬂood
of his great love; and he held her
there, forgetful of time now, forget-
ful of death itself; and he kissed her
tender lips, her hair, her eyes—con-
sCious only that in the hour of death
he had found life, that her hands
were,stroking his face, and caressing
his hair, and that over and over
again she was whispering sobbingly
his name, and that she loved him.
The pressure of her hands against
his breast at last made him free her.
And now, truly, she was glorious.
For the triumph of love had over-
:ridden the despair of death, and her
,face was ﬂooded with its colour and
in her eyes was its glory.

And then, as they stood there a
step between them, there came—al-
lmost like the benediction of a cat11-
fedral bell—the soft, low tinkling
,chime of the half—hour bell in Al—
ldous’ watch!

{ It struck him like a blow. Every
.muscle in him became like rigid
'iron, and his torn hands clenched
tightly at his sides.

! “Joanne—Joanne, it is impos-
sible!" he cried huskily, and he had
’her close in his arms again, even as
%her face was whitening in the lant—
ern-glow. “I have lived for you, I
,have waited for you—all these years
[you have been coming, coming, com-
;ing to mc—and now -that -you are
mine—mine—it is impossible! It
cannot happen
' He freed her again, and caught up
a lantern. Foot by foot he examin—
ed the packed tunnel. It was solid
-—-not a crevice or a break through
might have traveled the sound of a
'voice or the explosion of a gun. He
did not shout. He knew that it
,Would be hopeless, and that his
voice would be terrifying in that
sepulchral tomb. Was it possible
that here might be some other open-
ing—a. possible exit—in that moun-
tain wall? With the lantern in his
hand he searched. There was no
break. He came back to Joanne.
She was standing where he had left
her. And suddenly, as he looked at
her, all fear went out of him, and he
put down the lantern and went to
her.

“Joanne,” he whispered, holding
her two hands against his breast,
"‘you are not afraid?”

“And you know

“Yes, I know,” and she leaned for-
ward so that her head lay partly
upon his breast.

“And you love me, Joanne?"

"As I never dreamed that I should
love a man, John Aldous," she
whispered. -

“And yet it has been but two days

I!

“And I have lived an eternity," he
heard her lips speak softly.

“You would be my wife?"

“Yes.”

“Tomorrow?”

“If you wanted me then, John.”

“I thank God," he breathed in her
hair. “And you would come to me
without reservation, Joanne, trust-
ing me, believing in me——you would
come to me body, and heart, and
soul?”

“In all those ways—~yes.”

“I thank God,” he breathed again.

He raised her face. He looked
deep into her eyes, and the glory of
her love grew in them, and her lips
trembled as she lifted them ever so
little for him to kiss.

“‘Oh, I was happy—so happy,” she
Whispered, putting her hands to his
face. “John, I knew that you loved
me, and oh! I was ﬁghting so hard
to "keep myself from letting you
know how happy it made me. And

hip; and with her hands she swept
and piled the lustrous masses of it

over him until his face, and head,-

and shoulders were buried in the
ﬂaming sheen and sweet perfume of
it. ' '

He strai ed her closer. Through
the warm r chness of her tresses his
lips pressed her lips, and they ceased
to breathe. And up to their ears,
pounding through that‘ enveloping
shroud of her hair came the tick-
tick—tick of the watch in his pocket.

_“Joanne,” he whispered.

“Yes, John.”

“You are not afraid of—death?"

“No, not when you are holding me
like this. John."

He still clasped her hands, and a
sweet smile crept over her lips.

“Even now you are splendid," she
said. “Oh, I would have you that
way, my John!"

Again they stood up in the un-
steady glow of the lanterns.

“What time is it?” she asked.

He drew out his watch, and as
they both looked his blood ran cold.

“Twelve minutes,” she murmured,
and there was not a quiver in her
voice. “Let us sit down, John—you
on this box. and I on the ﬂoor, at
your feet—like this.”

He seated himself on the box, and
Joanne nestled herself at his knees,
her hands clasped in his.

“I think, John,” she said softly,
“that very. very often we would have
visited like this—you and I—in the
evening.”

A lump choked him, and he could
not answer.

“I would very often have perched
myself at your feet like this."

“Yes, yes, my beloved."

“And you would always have told
me how beautiful my hair was al—
ways. You would not have forgot.-
ten that, John—or have grown tir-
ed?"

“No, no—never!"

His arms were about her.
drawing her closer.

“And we would have had beautiful
times together, John—~writing, and
going adventuring, and—and ”

He felt her trembling. throbbing,
and her arms tightened about him.

And now, again up through the
smother of her hair. came the tick—
tick-tick of his watch.

He felt,.h_er fumbling at his watch
pocket, and in a moment she was
holding the timepiece between them,
so that the light of the lantern fell
on the face of it.

“It is three
John!’

The watch slipped from her ﬁng—
ers, and now she drew herself up so
that her arms were about his neck,
and their faces touched.

“Dear John, you love me?”

“So much that even now, in the
face of death, I am happy,” he whisp-
ered. “Joanne, sweetheart, we are
not'going to be separated. We are
going—together. Through all etern-
ity it must be like this—you and I,
together. Little girl, wind your
hair about me—tight!”

“There—and 'there—and there,
John! I have tied you to me, and
you are buried in it! Kiss me
John ”

And then the wild terrible fear of

 

He‘ was

ed ‘ a

 
      

  

a great loneliness swept through
him. For Joanne's voice had died
away in a whispering breath, and

,the lips he kissed did not kiss him

back, and her body lay heavy, heavy,
heavy in his arms. Yet in his lone—
liness he thanked God for bringing
her oblivion in these last moments,
and with his face crushed to hers he
waited. For he knew that it was no
longer a matter of minutes, but of
seconds, and in those seconds he
prayed, until up through the warm
smother ofiher hair—with the clear-
ness of a telling bell—came the
sound of the little gong in his watch
striking the Hour of Four!

In space other worlds might have
crumbled into ruin; on earth the
stories of empires might have been
written and the lives of men grown
old in those ﬁrst century-long sec-
onds in which John Aldous held his
breath and waited after the chiming
of the hour-bell in the watch on the
cavern ﬁoor. How long he waited
he did not know; how closely he was

crushing Joanne to his breast he did ,

not realize. Seconds, minutes, and
other minutes—and his brain ran
red in dumb, silent madness. And
the watch! It ticked, ticked, tick-
ed! It was like a hammer.

He had heard the sound of it ﬁrst
coming up through'her hair. But it
was not in her hair now. It was

over him, about him—it was no
longer a ticking, but a throb, a
steady, jarring, beating throb. It

grew louder, and the air stirred with
it. He lifted his head. With the
eyes of a madman he stared—and
listened. His arms relaxed from
about Joanne, and she slopped
crumpled and lifeless to the ﬂoor.
He stared—and that steady beat-
be’at-beat—a hundred times louder
than the ticking of a watch—pound-
ed in his brain. Was he mad? He
staggered to the choked mouth of
the tunnel, and then there fell shout
upon shout, and shriek upon shriek
from his lips, and twice', like a mad-
man now, he ran back to Joanne and

caught her up in his arms, calling
and sobbing her name, and then
shouting—and calling her name

again. She moved; her eyes opened,
and like one gazing upon the spirit
of the dead she looked into the face
of John Aldous, a madman’s face in
the lantern—glow.

“John—~John ”

She put up her hands, and with a
cry he ran with her in his arms to
the choked tunnel.

“Listen! Listen!” he cried wildly.
“Dear God in Heaven, Joanne—can
you hear them? It’s Blackton—
and his men! Hear———hear the rock-
hammers smashing! Joanne——
Joanne—we are saved!"

She did not sense him. She sway-
ed, half on her feet, half in his arms,
as consciousness and reason returned
to her. Dazedly her hands went to
his face in their old, sweet way.
Aldous saw her struggling to under-
stand—to comprehend; and he kiss-
ed her soft upturned lips, ﬁghting
back the excitement that made him
want to raise his voice again in wild
and joyous shouting.

*“It is Blackton!” he said over and
over again. “It is Blackton and his
men! Listenl—you can hear their

 

 

 

THE LATE SPRING

Oh, day in month of April,

Like the month of March much more,
For so cold the wind is blowing

It prevents the open door.

Your looks almost deceive me,
As sitting in this chair

The sun’s rays thru the window
Make you appear quite fair.

The ﬂeecy clouds‘of white

Sailing in a. lovely blue, .

\Vith the sunshine coming in be-
tween '

Speak very well of you.

But frost is in the ground
And how can asses grow
In places whic this morning

- Were‘cold with sullen snow.

The heavy wraps are with us yet,
And stoves and coal pails tell
That winter still is quite alive,
Tho we have sung his knell.

Where are the soft and balmy winds
To warm and cheer our soul,

And where the birds whose melodies
From out their throats should roll?

Did not we hear a robin
About a month ago,

Tell as spring was coming,
Why does it tarry so?

And yet, 0h day in April,
Tho cold and bleak you are,
We’re very thankful for you—-

.It could be worse, by far.

LCHAPTER Xx ., '
'1‘ LAST Joanne realized that the

explosion was not to come, that _

Blackton "and his men were
working to save them. And now, as
she listened with him, her breath
began to come in sobbing excitement
between her lips—for there was no
mistaking that,_sound, that steady

beat—beat-beat that came from. be--

yond the cavern wall and seemed to
set strange tremors stirring in the
air about their ears. For a few
moments they stood stunned and sil-
ent, as if not yet quite fully com-
prehending that they had‘come'from
.out of the pit of death, and that men
Were ﬁghting for their rescue. «They
asked themselves no questions—why
the f‘coyote" had not been ﬁred?
How those outside knew they were
in the cavern. And, as they listen-
ed, there came to them a voice. It
was faint, so faint that it seemed
to whisper to them through miles

and miles of space——yet they knew ,

that it was a voice!

“Some one is shouting," spoke
Aldous tensely. "Joanne, my darl-
ing, stand around the face of the
wall so ﬂying rock will not strike
yolu'and I will answer with my pis-
o . '

When he had placed her in safety
from split lead and rock chips, he
drew his automatic and ﬁred it close
up against the choked tunnel. He
ﬁred ﬁve times, steadily, counting
three between each shot, and then
he placed his ear to the mass of
stone and earth and listened. Joanne
sllpped to him like a shadow. Her
hand sought his, and they held their
breaths. They no longer heard
sounds——nothing but the crumbling
and falling of dust and pebbles
where the bullets had struck, and
the1r owu heart-beats. The picks
and rock-hammers had ceased.

Tighter and tighter grew the clasp
of Joanne’s ﬁngers, and a terrible
thought ﬂashed into John’s brain.
Perhaps a rock from the slide had
cut a wire, and they had found the
wireghad repaired it! Was that
thought in Joanne’s mind, too? Her
ﬁnger-nails pricked his ﬂesh. He
looked at her. Her eyes were clos-
ed, and her lips were tense and gray.
And then her eyes shot open—Wide
and staring. They heard, faintly
though it came to them——once, twice,
three times, four, ﬁve—the ﬁring of
a gun!

John Aldous straightened, and a
great breath fell from his lips.

“Five times!” he said. “It is an
answer. There is no longer doubt.”

He was holding out his arms to
her, and she came into them with a
choking" cry; and now she sobbed
like a little child with her head
against his breast, and for many
minutes he held her close kissing
her wet face, and her damp hair,
and her quivering lips, 'while the

.beat of the picks and the crash of
the rock-hammers came steadily
nearer.

Where those picks and rock-ham—
mers fell a score of men were work-
ing like ﬁends: 'Blackton his arms
stripped to the shoulders; Gregg,
sweating and urging the men; and
among them——lifting and tearing at
the rock like a madman—~old Don-
ald MacDonald, his shirt open, his
great hands bleeding,‘his hair and
board tossing about him in the wind.
Behind them, her hands clasped to
her breast—crying out to them to
hurry, hurry—stood Peggy Black-
ton. The strength of ﬁve men
was in every pair of arms. Huge
boulders were rolled back. Men
pawed earth and shale with their
naked hands. Rock-hammers fell
with blows that would have cracked
the heart of a granite obelisk. Half
an hour —— three quarters —— and
Blackton came back to where Peggy
was standing, his face black and
grimed, his arms red—scared where
the edges of the rocks had caught
them, his eyes shining.

“We’re almost there, Peggy," he

 

panted. * “Another ﬁve minutes
and " A I
A shout interrupted him. ‘ A

cloud of dust rolled out of the mouth
of the tunnel, and into that dust
rushed half a dozen men led by old
Donald. Before the dust had settl-
ed they began to reappear, and with
a shrill screan Peggy Blackton dart—

,ed forward and—ﬂung her arms about _ W

"Oh, Johnny, J ohnny—something
told me to foller ye—an' I was just
in time-—just in time to see you go
into the coyote!”

“God bless you, Mac!” said Ald-
ous, and then Paul Blackton was
wringing his hands, and one after
another the others shook his hand,
but Peggy Blackton was crying like
a baby as she hugged Joanne. in her
arms.

"MacDonald came just in time,"
explained? Black-ton a .moment later
and hetft'r-iedio speak "steadily,‘., and

tried to..smile. .‘-‘Ten minutes more, ,

and ”

He, was white. .

“Now that it has turned out like

this I thank God that it happened,"
said Aldous, for the engineer’s ears
alone. “We thought we were facing
death, and 805—1 told her. And in
there, on our knees, we pledged our-
selves man and wife. I want the
minister—as quick as you can get
him, Blackton. Don’t say anything
to Joanne, but bring him to the
house right away, will you?” _
1 “Within half an hour,” replied
“There comes Tony with
the buckboard. We’ll hustle up to
the house an I’ll have the preacher
there in a ji y.”

As they went to the wagon, Ald-
ous looked about for MacDonald. He
had disappeared. Requesting Gregg
to hunt him up and send him to the
bungalow, he climbed into the back
seat, with Joanne between him and
Peggy. Her little hand lay in his.
Her ﬁngers clung to him. But her
hair hid her face, and on the other
side of her Peggy Blackton was
laughing and talking and crying by
turns.

As they entered the bungalow,
Aldous whispered to Joanne:

“Will you please go right to your
room, dear? I want to say some-
thing to you—alone.”

When she went up the stair,
Peggy caught a signal from her hus-
band. Aldous remained with them.
In two minutes he told the bewilder-
ed and ﬁnally delighted Peggy what
was going to happen, and as Black~
ton hustled out for the minister’s
house he followed Joanne. She had
fastened her door behind her. He

 

 

stand. And, Joanne, Paul Blackton
will be back in ten minutes—with
the minister. Are you glad?”

She had opened the door wide,
and he was holding out his arms to
her again. For a moment she did
not move, but stood there trembling
a little, and deeper and sweeter grew
the colour in her face, and tenderer
the look in her eyes.

"I must brush my hair,” she answ-
ered, as though she could think of
no other words. “I—I must dress.”

Laughing joyously, he went to her
and gathered the soft masses of her
hair in his hands, and piled it up in
a glorious disarray about her face
and head, holding it there, and still
laughing into her eyes.

“Joanne, you are mine!”

“Unless I have been dreaming—I
am, John Aldous!”

"Forever and forever."

“Yes, forever—~and ever."

“And because I want the whole
world to know, we are going to be
married by a minister.”

She was silent.

“And as my wife to be,” he went
on, his voice trembling with his hap—
piness, “you must obey me!"

“I think that I shall, John.”

“Then you will not brush your
hair, and you will not change your
dress, and you will not wash the
dust from your face and that sweet
little beauty-spot from the tip. of
your nose,” he commanded, and now
he'drew her head close to him, so
that he whispered, half in her hair:
“Joanne, my darling, I want you

wholly as you came to me there, '

when we thought We were going to
die. It was there you promised to be-
come my wife, and I want you as you
were then—When the minister
comes." ’

“John, I think I hear some one
coming up the front steps!”

They listened. The door opened.
They heard voices—Blackton’s voice,
Peggy’s voice, and another voice—a
man’s voice. I . 7 1 _
jBlac'kton’s}l voice came up to them

i; 

 

     

 as: Bi: s 
“Shah-hm"; came Peggy; Black-
ton’s sibilant whisper.

.‘Jo'anne's hands had crept to

~John’s face.

"I think,” she said, “that it is the
minister, John."

Her warm lips were near, and he
kissed them. ~ '

“Come, Joanne. We will go
down."

Hand in hand they went down the
stair; and When the minister saw
Joanne, covered in the tangle and
glory of her hair; and when he saw
John- Aldous, with half-naket. arms
and’blackened face; and when, with
these things,, he saw the wonderful
joy shining in their eyes, he stood
like onestruck dumb at sight of a
miracle descending out of the skies.
For never had Joanne looked more
beautiful than in this hour, and nev-
er had man, looked more like enter-
ing into paradise than John Aldous.

Short and to the point was the
little 'mountain minister’s service, ,
and when he had done he shook
hands with them, and again he star-
ed at them as they went back up the
stair, still hand in hand. At her
door they stopped. There were no
words to speak now, as her heart
lay against his heart, and her lips
against his lips. And then, after
those moments, she drew a little
back, and there came suddenly that
sweet, quivering, joyous play of her
lips as she said:

“And now, my husband, may I
dress my hair?”

   

IS*s is A;r:1u E53.

“My hair,” he corrected, and let
her go from his arms.

.Her door closed behind her. A ’

little dizzily he turned to his room.
His hand was on the knob when he
heard her speak his name. She had
reopened her door, and stood with
something in her hand, which she
was holding toward him. He went
back, and she gave him a photo-
graph.

“John, you will destroy this,” she
whispered. “It is his photograph——
Mortimer FitzHugh’s. I brought it
to show people, that it migh help
isne in my search. Please—destroy
t!!!

He returned to. his room and plac-
ed the photograph on his table. It
was wrapped in thin paper, and sud-
denly there came upon him a most
compelling desire to see what Mort-
imer FitzHuLh had looked like in
life. Joanne would not care. Per-
haps it would be best for him to
know.

He tore off the paper. And as he
looked at the picture the hot blood
in his veins ran cold. He stared——
stared as if some wild and madden-
ing joke was being played upon his
faculties. A cry rose to his lips and
broke in gasping breath, and about
him the ﬂoor, the world itself, seem-
ed slipping away from under his
feet.

For the picture l_e held in his
hand was the picture of Culver
Rann!

" The Farm Paper of Service"

FRED M. \VAR-NER
THRICE governor of the state to which he had

come an immigrant boy from England, belov-.

ed by thousands of men and women who
knew him as “Fred” and went to him with their
troubles, as children go to their parents for con-
solation, Fred M. Warner, passed away last week
at the age of ﬁfty—eight.

Only a few months ago we watched him throw
every ounce of his energy into the campaign for
United States senator, when contrary to the ad-
vice of his friends, and at the risk of his position
as national committeeman, he backed a man who
had in former years befriended him.

Fred Warner never forgot a friend and he
made friends wherever his smile went. The
farmers of Michigan never had a better friend
, than this man, because he was never entirely out
of the farming business himself. He knew the
farmers problems, but only recently he was heard
to remark that things were not nearly so dark
for the farmer as they appeared on the surface.
He believed a better day for all farmers, and
particularly for the dairy farmer, was not far
distant and he repeated this optimism to many a
worried farmer who came to him for advice dur-
ing the past year or two. .

From his old-fashioned home under the elms
at Farmington, Fred M. Warner was taken to
the little cemetery, that from the crest of a hill
overlooks the town and the industries he helped
to build. No more representative throng ever
assembled in Michigan to pay its respects to a be-
loved and worthy citizen. Rich and famous men
who came in liveried equipage, mingled with
simple folk whose dusty footgear showed how
they had come. From the home to the cemetery,
the school—children of Farmlngton, joined hand
in hand on either side of the roadway formed a.
guard of honor.

A ﬁtting tribute to a noble man who served his
state so well!

TOO MUCH IS ENOUGH

NE of the formost agricultural journals in
0 this country denounced last week most sev-
erely the policy employed by Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace and his Department. It was
stated in this editorial that running down the
farmer’s business was not going to help him re-
establish himself. In other words, that the last
thing you would tell the banker of whom you
were trying to borrow money would be the dis-
couraging side of your business. " You would
want to paint an optimistic picture, which would
go to show that in the near future your business
would be on a sound foundation, and you would
be back in a position to repay the loan he was
making you. ,5
There can be no question but what the airing
of the farmer’s demoralized ﬁnancial condition
has reduced by a great many millions of dollars
the value of the,farms in this country. The price
N of any commodity is set by the demand for it, and
were are not going to clamor for a business
hich is reported to be in such bad shape as the
, mining business Is. . ,

ated that they were able to show a. proﬁt for the
year. We readily grant that these are exceptions
and that the average farmer in Michigan, as in
other states, did not secure a satisfactory return
from his material and his labor last year.

We do believe, however, that optimistic public-
ity given to the farming business at this time will
aid in res—establishing conditions, and we believe
that Secretary Wallace has in the Department of
Agriculture, the most potent force through which
this information may be broadcasted.

  

 

A DAIRYM’AN‘S QUESTIONS

" HY is it,” asks a Livingston county dairy-

man, “that the price of milk is cut during

the months of March and April, two of

the most expensive months in which to produce

milk, when it is sold to the consumer at the same
price as January milk?”

That sounds like a perfectly fair and reason-

. able question and one which we trust Dr. Friday

will include in his present study of the milk
marketing conditions in Michigan and particular-
ly in the Detroit area.

This same inquiring dairyman who is not
afraid to ask publicly some of the questions

'which come to him while he is feeding his cows,

wants to know why the price of milk is quoted at
the terminal and not ‘at the receiving station.
Here are two subjects worthy of investigation
and study. V

We hope to publish the answers from the milk
commission and Dr. Friday in our next issue and
in addition perhaps some of our readers can
throw further light on these or other dairymens
questions. Inasmuch as the lid is off the milk-
can, lets scrub-it, steam-it and thus steralize it
inside and out. The Business Farmer has no in-
tention of picking a ﬁght, but we certainly will
not stay out if we can help the milk producers
and we are pretty sure we can!

FARM BUREAU AND LABOR DON’T HITCH

LARK L. Brody, Secretary and Manager of the
Michigan StateFarm Bureau, had to lay
down the law last ‘week to the representa-

tives of the labor unions who were trying to se-
cure the passage of the Full-Crew bill, which he
characterized as unwarranted, “because it added
an unnecessary burden on the people of Michi-
gan.” It is said that the labor union representa-
tives had promised their support of the income
tax measure if the farm bureau would support
the union Full—Crew bill.

Union labor and farm organizations, although
theoretically similar, are in fact economically op-
posed to one another inasmuch as the farmer is
a capitalist, and also an employer of labor.

The farmer knows that while 211% has been put
through a period of deﬂation, the like of which
is unparalleled in the history of this country,
labor, thanks largely to their unions, has been
able to maintain a. standard of wages so much
higher than the price of farm products that there
is no camparison.

The farmer is interested in seeing labor well
.employed and efficient in its work, but when the
hours of labor are cut down to a point where the
mechanic is giving only a part of himself for'a
wage too high, then it is the former, as the larg-
est consumer of manufactured products, who
must pay'for this lack of efﬁciency and extrava-
gance. .

Theorists and hair-brained economists are al-
ways trying to weld a link between union labor
and farm organizations, but when it comes down
to a show—down and the.sctual' facts are weighed,
it usually works out shot as it did in the recent
demonstration“ our  «state capitol.

It is planned to operate a. national sales agency

of the present farm dilemma is the operation of
farmer-owned selling. agencies. It would seems
that the success met by the co-operetive market-

efﬁciency of this plan, and we know of no better ' '

THE ROAD BUILDING PROBE

HE gasoline tax measure which went down to '

T an inglorious defeat, thanks to. the veto of
Governor Groesbeck, focused the attention
to the State Highway Department, for which .the
extra funds were found to The necessary. ’

Remarks were passed in the legislature which
were not complimentary to the State Road Com-
missioner or to the work that has been accomp-
lished. In answer to these charges, Cornmission;
er, Frank Rogers invited the Senate to make a
thorough investigation of his department, all of
its activities, and where its money ,had been
spent, which was so commendable that his sug-
gestion was promptly accepted.

It seems to be a pretty well-accepted idea. not
only from the farmer but from the tax-paying
class in Michigan generally that some revision 'of
the road building program must be made which
will not call for an increase in taxes, except as
they come directly from those who use the roads,
which, luckily (?), today includes Ir st of us.

The Business Farmer will be glad to place be-
fore' the investigating committee any instances
of apparent misuse of road building funds or
any other conditions regarding the road building
program which should be brought to their atten-
tion. We agree not to divulge the name of the
sender, providing all of the facts as stated will
bear investigation by us.

 

A SPRING TONIC

HE two days last week when the summer i
came back to give us a prOmise of what we
might expect was a better “spring tonic"

than all of the patent potions which we might ac:
cumulate from the apothecary.

There is'one satisfaction which comes to us
who live so far north and that is the contrast
which comes in the spring of the year, after a.
stretch of winter which we some-times think will
never end. I

There is a. sensation which comes to the man
who follows the plow in new turned earth on a
day like this which cannot be compared with any
similar experience in this old world of ours.

The farmer’s wife and family too, can lift
their hands to high Heaven and give same thanks
when spring comes that they are not conﬁned
within the narrow walls and shut in by the clut-
ter of buildings on all sides, as are the millions
who live in cities. . 

Be glad you are alive this year, friends. Take
an inventory of the things you have to be thank-
ful for and it may go a long ways toward making
up for the things you wish you had. '

Try it, and you will have the best prescription
we know of for a “Spring Tonic."

 

NAMING THE FARM .

DID you ever stop to think as you drove along
_ a country road that every farm looks alike

except the one with a name on it. As a
recent writer pointed-out, there is exactly as
much reason. for naming your farm as naming
your horse, your dog, or your cat, and yet you
name them because you are fond of them and
want to distinguish them from others of their
kind.

A farm is just a‘ farm, after all, unless it is
named, and certainly it is not hard to select a.
name for something which is near and dear to
you for a reason.

That lone pine, the orchard, the twin silo, the

winding stream, the long view, the hillcrost, the . '

old homestead; look about you and you will and,

fWe have told readers of 'the

several inquiries regarding Jones, of

dinerent scheme, the eﬂiciency of

It is, we believe, Mr. Jones’ plan
to insert a description of your farm

and the cash payment which he asks

the seller promises to pay a com-
mission if the farm is sold through
the advertisEment thus inserted.

readers have had dealings with Mr.
Jones, satisfactory or otherwise, I

to be doing a considerable business
in the state of Michigan.

It has been some timenow since
we have heard from any readers do-

withdrawn from ,the state of Michi-
gan or Business Farmer readers are
suiiiciently warned so that we do not

SECOND-HAND AUTOMOBILES
Doping up old Lizzie

and addin’ a little paint,
Makes her run like sixty

and look like What she ain't!

Let me warn my readers that
prices on second-hand automobiles
were never lower than they are to-
day and I understand that Detroit
street corner dealers are planning
on driving into the country whole
ﬂeets of large and small used cars
which might better be headed for
the scrap—heap and foisting them off
on farmers and small—town folks.

The great big seven passenger
cars that weigh tons, and burn gaso—

* line like a bonﬁre are the real drug

on the market. The agent who of-
fers to sell you one of these ice-
wagons may in truth tell you it cost
$5,000 only three years ago and
still he offers it to you for $500!
He may not be lying, but the car
will probably be a liability and a big
one on your shoulders from the day
you buy it.

Undoubtedly there are good used
cars on the market, but if you in-
sist on buying one, be sure you get
it from a dealer you know and can
trust, for buying and trading bosses
in the old days was kindergarten

work compared to the. second-hand,

automobile business of today.

»BUYING NURSERY STOCK

Don't buy nursery stock from a
stranger! If you will paste that
bit of advice up somewhere in your
house you will save yourself some
of the worries which many of my

‘ correspondents have sent in to me.

An agent, who has found it more
proﬁtable to carry a nursery order
book and catalog, . than do plain
“tramping” can be sure of landing
one or two suckers a day, out of a
dozen calls. Usually he asks for
half—cash down, the balance to be
paid when trees are received. Some-
times however, when in a pinch,» he
will take 10% down or $1 on every
$10 represented in the order.

When the deluded purchaser
writes the “nursery company” he
gets either a curt letter telling him
they never heard of the agent in
'question or the letter is returned
by the post-oﬂice marked “not
known at this address".

If I were buying nursery stock I
world want to know exaCtly the
comman I was buying from, how
long hey had been in‘business and
then I would want to see the stock
and examine it before I paid for it.
The answer is in my opening sen—
tence:

Don’t buy nursery stock from a

MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE

Mutual insurance societies are
founded on a perfectly safe and
economical system which has been
in operation in all parts of the world
and on all possible risks for many,
many years. The success of a mu-
tual depends however so much on
the men in whose hands lie its destiny
that all too often we hear of one
leaving its members in the lurch
with nothing but some worthless of-
ﬁce ﬁxtures and a big assessment
to be paid.

Recently I have received more
than one inquiry regarding a state
mutual ﬁre insurance company,
which I have promptly turned over
to the state insurance commissioner,
thus through promptly bringing this
company to the attention of the pro-
per authorities, I may be abio to
savo the farmer—members what
might have otherwise been a most
serious/loss, not only to this, but
to other mutuals in Michigan.

GETTING MONEY ON CHATTEL
< MORTGAGES

The Publisher is curious to learn
it farmers throughout Michigan are
unable to borrow money on chattel
mortgage. In response to readers in
the northern part of the state. an
investigation was made and the bank
frankly admitted that it was not in
a position to_accept chattel mort-
gage because it could not watch the
collateral.

Apparently this brings us back
exactly were we started in the

l matter 'of extending credit, if the

renting—farmer cannot secure a small

’loan- covering a period in which he

,1

is pressed for money, it leaves the
router and the tenant entirely at the
mercy of the money grabber, and
'makes it doubly hard for him under
present-day farming conditions.

PALS ON A 50-50 BASIS _
E are retired farmers now, but
we hold a hearty interest in the
farmers and we enjoy the M.
B. F. and feel that it is doing a great
service to all. Long may it live and
prosper. .
Some time ago on “What the
Neighbors Say” page, there was an
interesting article from Mrs. R. B.,
Ohio, on “Personal Freedom” of
which, it would seem, she is com-
pletely deprived of. I hoped some
capable writer would defend her,
for, unfortunately, there are many
wins 'who suffer practically the
humiliation and. in your issue of
March 17th comes a splendid article
of defence from “Molly Brown" I am
am just bubbling over to add a few
words of support.

If there were more women like.

Molly Brown there would be fewer
men like Mr. R. B. and the world
would be better for it.

Good for you Molly, you have loy-
ally championed a just cause. The
marriage license doesn’t rob either
party of their personal rights and
privileges and there should be
equality, co-operation and a kindly
unselﬁsh consideration, each for the
rights and comfortsof the other.

The average wife puts in as many
weary hours of toil as the husband
and she is justly entitled to a fair
share of the proﬁts. If not, why
not? The husband doesn’t oblige
his hired help to ask for their wages
Then why should the wife have to
ask for money? Doesn't she earn
it? If the head of the house thinks
she doesn’t, just let him hire some
one to ﬁll her place for a while and
it want take long to convince him
that he will pay far more for inferior
services. '

A generous husband, and there
are many of them, too, will give his
Wife an allowance according to his
means and spare her the humiliation
of having to ask for every dollar she
wants and then probably be expected
to tell what she wants it for. Ye
Gods! That is enough to ﬁll the
heart of a proud woman, with scorn
and contempt rather than love and
devotion. But it has been said that
a woman can dig her own grave and
step dowu into it behind the look
and the smile and the duty she gives
her husband and it may be years be—
fore he ﬁnds it out. However, I
question her wisdom or if he would
love her better for it. For with man
its the unatainable that is the most
desirable. Come on, Uncle Rube,
let us hear from you on this subject.
—Sincere Subscriber, Caro, Mich.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH
FARMING?

HERE is much uneasiness and
more or less dissatisfaction, be-
cause the farmers' products as

a whole have not advanced in price
as rapidly as other commodities. It
is a fact that cotton and wool have
advanced more rapidly than the av-
erage of the commodities, in which
advance the farmer should partici-
pate if he does his marketing wisely.
Not only the cotton growers and
wool growers, but the growers of
citrus fruits, vegetables, raisins and
apples and dairymen, etc., have very
greatly improved their margin of
proﬁts through marketing associa-
tions. What is known as the “dirt
farmer” or the raiser of potatoes,
corn, wheat, etc., are the ones who
are most badly hit and who are lack-
ing in marketing organizations. In
fact, they are the victims of organi-
zation on the part of others.

It is reasonable to say that the
export market for American grains
is cut of! and will be so for many
months, if not years, to come on
account of the inability of foreign
countries to pay the debts they have
already contracted, to say nothing
of their ability to pay for new com-
mitments. - -

It is acknowledged that we raise
more grain than our domestic mar-
ket will consume. It seems that
there is ’only one way to provide for
the consumption of the surplus, in-
asmuch as that surplus cannot be
sold abroad, and that way is to in-
crease the home market. Inasmuch
as we cannot send our surplus to
the" foreigner. ‘we‘ can bring the for-

   

 

 

population has required a very con-
siderable increase in the amount of
farm products. On account of the
immigration laws recently passed by
congress at the request and in the
interest of the labor unions, the ﬂow
of immigrants’to this country has
been cut down to the minimum. If
a considerably larger number of im-

migrants were admitted it would re-,

sult in the larger consumption of
farm products at home and would
also furnish larger supply of farm
labor.

The writer of this article is a
nursery man and ﬁnds it necessary
to pay sixty cents per hour for good
help in the nursery. He can secure
common labor for forty cents per
hour, but it is cheaper to pay sixty
cents for good eﬁicient help. The
difﬁculty in securing farm labor and
its extraordinary high cost together
with its average ineﬁ‘iciencyDiS due
to the scarcity of labor caused by
the law mentioned above. Farmers
are obliged to hire and put up with
the ineﬁicient labor that is discarded
by the manufacturers, who are ob-
liged to offer extraordinary induce-
ments in the way of wages to secure
help enough in a very much depleted
labor market. The manufacturers
can pay higher wages and get their
choice of labor, the ineﬁicient sur-
plus going to make up the supply of

farm labor with which the farmer.

must be content. There was a time
when high grade Irish, English, Ger-
man, Dutch, and other skilled‘farm—
ers immigrated to this country in
considerable numbers. They} are
prevented from coming at this time
on account of the law restricting
immigration and particularly on ac—
count of the “contract labor” law
both of which were enacted at the
request of the American Labor Un—
ions and are at the expense of the
American farmer. ‘

It does not take a farmer long to
ﬁgure out and appreciate that an in-
crease in the number of foreign im-
migrants would very quickly in—
crease the domestic demand for his
farm products and would furnish a
materially larger supply-of help, and
would result in a more efﬁcient
grade of farm laborers. Neither
would it take a farmer long to ﬁgure
out that if his home market was in-
creased and his cost of production
from the increase of farm labor were
reduced, that his margins of proﬁt
would at once be increased with the
result of materially changing status
of the farmers' bank account.

There is another angle that the
farmer should consider, namely, that
increased immigration would reduce
not only the'farmers’ cost of pro-
duction, but would reduce the cost

of producing the various products

that the farmer is obliged to buy.
The cost of these manufactured pro-
ducts is greatly increased by the re-

stricted labor supply as it exists un-‘

_der the present law. We would,
therefore, see this happy condition,
that the farmers' income and mar—
gin of net proﬁts would be material—
ly increased at the same time and
the cost of the farmers’ purchases
would likewise be materially de—
creased. This point could be elab-
orated, but it seems so clear to the
writer that it seems unnecessary to
dwell upon it further. There is,
however, another thought in connec-
tion with this, and that is that after
the farmer has produced his crops
at the minimum cost he has yet to
transport them to his market. The
American Federation of Labor has
seen -to it that the cost of moving
.the farmers’ crops should be at a
maximum rather than a minimum,
due to labor shortage and to increase
cf costs due to higher wages and
diminished eiﬁciency, all due to la-
bor union conditions.

It is not the intention of this art-
icle to take up matters in relation
to politics, but there is one point
in which the farmer is vitally in-
terested, and that is that he should
not allow himself to be made the
cat’s paw to rake chestnuts out of
the ﬁre for the labor unions. ’The
labor unions are directed and engin-

eered by very able and shrer men _

at the head of whom is Mr. Gompers,
and anyone who thinks Mr. Goinpers
is asleepgat the switch Jamie ken.

 ically, and. it: see

 
 

‘.

of labor with us farmers would be

' engineered largely through Federa-
" tion of Labor headquarters.

We
need mention only one instance and
that a very recent one as follows:

Last summer'there was a. strike
on the‘railroads to prevent the re
duction of wages and the consequent
reduction of freights. The result of
this strike was that rolling stock

including both cars and engines were “

largely relegated to the bad order
yards when the' labor unions ,had
gained their end of maintaining high
wages (and they are. the highest
paid of all labor).vThe rolling stock
was in bad order, and the farmers’
crops were ready to be moved to
market. What was the result? It
was impossible to move a large per
cent of the perishable crops,‘ includ-
ing fruits and vegetables with the
result that the farmer lost his crop
and his year’s work. In other
words, the farmer held the bag
while the labor union came through
with undiminished wages. The
writer may be a poor judge of con-
ditions, but it seems to him that in
nearly every‘case, the farmer foots
the bill and the labor union absorbs
the proﬁt.

Please excuse discretion, which
may seem to be a. political one and
let us return to the question of im-
migration. With the very restrict-
ed labor market, due to the law
afore-mentioned, it is the easiest
thing in the world through strikes,
for any union to force an increase
in wages. This statement hardly
needs to be elaborated. There is
only one thought in this connection
and that is that in England the farm
laborers have organized and there
is a farm laborer’s strike in progress
in that country. The question before
us farmers at this time_,is this:
With the very much decreased im-
migration and restricted labor, how
long will it take for us to get into
the same‘condition that they are
now in, in England and be up
against the farm hands’ union with
greatly increased wages?

The writer has only attempted
herein to make a few suggestions
which might be greatly simpliﬁed
and in that way clariﬁed and made
forcible. The writer has simply tried
to lay before other farmers what
seems to him to be the cause of our
trouble and to suggest that we can-
not too quickly ask for relief in the
shape of a repeal of the law which
creates for us unnecessary hardship
in view of the fact that the farmer
in the end has to carry the burden
of all increases in costs in all of
the industries. -

If farmers would promptly write
to their senator and representative
in congress and insists upon less re-
striction of immigration, I am sure‘
would greatly help the situation and
in the end would materially increase

the net proﬁts of their farming op- »-

erations. Let us take some action
along this line and do it promptly.—
Harry 8., Cooper, Wisconsin.

VOTERS DISFRANCHISED BY
SMOKE

T our April 2nd towu meeting'I
noticed several “prominent
townsmen" smoking—some al-

most continuously during meeting.
A certain man being remonstrated
with, said “any person that did not
like tobacco smoke should not come
to the town hall," he would smoke
anyway.

Not even the women voters pres—
ent were asked if they enjoyed ar ap-
preciated tobacco smoke second
handed. It appeared as if all those
citizens male or female, who had not
formed the habit of smoking were to
b8 smoked out and thus disfranchis-
e . -

Let us suppose a parallel case.
Some person builds a few small ﬁres
of old rags and chips in the hall.
Would these same gentlemen smok-~
ers stand for it? Not for a minute.

As I heard a lady say ‘fWhile so
much is being said about health
m‘easureHll people should by state
law be protected in their natural
rights to assemble in public halls,
with pure invigorating air free from '
smoke." . . ,, »  .

 arner’s Life an Inspiration
 *jfEredi M. Warner, Three Times Godemor of Michigan, Rose to

Prominence in Spite of Great Diﬂiculties
By JoHN FITZGIBBON

 

 

FRED M. WARNER
(Born 1865—Dled 1923)

 

 

 

HE son of an English immigrant
T who was so poor that, dying
when the boy was seven years
old, the mother gave him for adop—
tion to and Oakland County merch-
ant. Fred M. Warner, by his own
efforts, achieved large success in
business lines and was elected Gov-
ernor of Michigan before he was 40
years old. Prior to‘his election as
chief. executive of the State he‘had
been the youngest senator in two
Legislatures, as well as the youngest
man to be elected Secretary of State,
excepting Stevens T. Mason, the
ﬁrst governor of the state, he was
the youngest governor Michigan has
had, and the only governor that was
elected for three successive terms.

Born in Nottinghamshire. Eng-
land, July 21, 1865, Gov. Warner
was seven years old when he ﬁrst
saw the United States.

His parents located on a small
tract of wild woodland near Farm—
ington, Oakland County. Soon aft-
erwards his father died. P. Dean
Warner was then a citizen of import—
ance at Farmington, about 18 miles
out Grand River avenue from De-
troit City Hall. He was speaker of
theLegislature in 1867 and a state
- senator in 1869. Having no sons of
his own, Senator Warner adopted
the young English lad and gave him
his name. '

The boy went through all the
classes in the Farmington village
school and then entered the Michi—
gan Agricultural College. Student
life did not appeal to him and so at
the end of his ﬁrst year in college
he quit of his own accord and went
to work in the general store‘of his
foster—father. In addition to the
store the elder Warner conducted a
»bank.

It was here that the young man
learned his ﬁrst lessons in trading
and banking. He early showed a
strong _aptitude in both lines.

In Business at 20

He was barely 20 when he made
his ﬁrst venture in business. The
bicycle craze came on and the long
obsolete high wheel machine began
to appear in the early 80’s. The
craze caught the future Governor
and he invested $165 of his savings
in a wheel. For doing so his foster
father reproved him. “You’ll never
get ahead in the world if you squan—
der moneythatway,” was the paren-
ta’l admbnition. But he got back in
parental favor on the bicycle ques-
tion. Securing, the agency of several
makes he cleared $800 the ﬁrst sea-
son.

Incidentally,
handful of , medals,
the amateur champion of Michigan.

When he was twenty—one his-fost—
er-father turned the management of
the 'generalistore over to him. He
had been a voter but a year or so
he. was 616 ad ‘president or

he accumulated a

.Wﬁlfner. was elected43 , “can: __.
,tfuon niim  _ ” 1ll’ﬁan‘

then comprised Oakland and Ma-
comb counties, and he was re-elect—
ed two years later.

From a skeptic on the merits of
the primary system when he ter—
ed on his ﬁrst term, Gov. Warner be-
fore he ﬁnished his third term Was
an ardent advocate of the system.
In the face of bitter opposition by
machine legislators, he had enacted
the ﬁrst genuine State—wide primary
law, as well as a law for the selec—
tion at primaries of party candidates
for United States senator. This was
several years before the Federal
Consitution was amended so as to
provide for the election of senators
by direct vote. I

Gov. Warner got his second re—
nomination with opposition; and,
still having no enemies in his party,
he was re-elected in 1906 by a plu—
rality of 97,549.

Gov. Warner had about made up
his mind that, having had the cus-
tomary two terms, he would retire.
When the machine leaders began
talking of what they would do to
him if he ever again sought ofﬁce, he
accepted their deﬁ. He gave notice
that he was going to smash preced—
ents and be a candidate for a third

consecutive term. Twice he had
been nominated by State conven-
tions. Now he was going to seek

nomination from the electors at the
primaries. The machine picked a
popular state ofﬁcial for their candi—
date. The primary contest was ex—
Ceedingly warm.

Gov. Warner in a valedictory at
the close of his third term, mention-
ed that, as the State’s chief executive
he advocated and helped make into
law the Two-Cent Fare Act, the act
creating the State Railroad Commis-
sion and giving the commission large
powers to regulate rates, and ‘the
service of public utilities, and act
making stock watering illegal and
the act establishing a binder twine
plant at Jackson Prison. This lat—
ter was opposed viciously by a pow-
erful lobby of prison labor contract—
or, yet it has proven to be one of the
best investments the State govern—
ment ever made. In his valedictory
he said: “The people also will ben—
eﬁt by a score of other good laws ad-
vocated by me and passed during my
administration which those in con—
trol of the Republican Party in Mich—
igan at this time do not dare to re—
peal.”

Never Lost His Temper

Gov. Warner’s dominant charac—
teristics were never to lose his tem—
per in a controversy; never to use
heated language or epithets in re—
ferring to a political adversary, to
try to make friends instead of ene-
mies, yet not yield when he was sure
he was right, even if by such a
course he broke a friendship; to pro—
ceed cautiously before he arrived at
a conclusion, but when he arrived to
adhere to his conclusion; to remem—
ber his friends and also his enemies,
and to be naturally genial, but never
effusiver so. He had a smile that
was infectious, never was spoiled in
the least by business or political suc—
cesses. He had remained just “Fred”
even to the humblest of his acquain—
tances and had always led a temper—
ate life. '

When 23 years of age Mr. Warner
started a cheese factory at Farm-
ington. Twenty years later he had
2 cheese factories in several counties
and was making 1,500,000 annually.
At Farmington he acquired a farm
of 250 acres and another of 1,000
acres in Sanilac County. He became
chief owner and president of the
bank his foster father established,
now the Farmington EXChange Bank.
Hetwas one of the organizers of the
United Savings Bank, of Detroit, and
has been vice—president of it since
its organization. .

Shortly‘after he retired as Gov-
ernor in 1911, he began changing his
dairying business, marketing in De-
troit the milk from his herds, in ad-
dition to what he purchased from a
great many farmers, instead of turn-
ing it into cheese. '

' EAR aNieces and Nephews: All
‘ letters entered in our contest,
' .. including those published in
last issue, were put on file and at 12
o’clock, April, 14th, I began reading,
one at a time, to decide who wrote
the best letter. The ﬁrst one I read
seemed so very good and I laid it
one side for further consideration.
The second one seemed equally as
good and so did the third and fourth
and fifth and so on, and I continued
to lay each letter aside for further
consideration until when I ﬁnished
the last letter and turned to recon-
sider the ones I had laid aside for
that purpose I discovered I had not
thrown out a single one. I again
went through them all but results
were the same—they, all best—I was
no further ahead than I was when I
started. Then the ofﬁce force came
to my assistance by choosing a com-
mittee composed of several members
of the force and oiIering the service
of the committee to decide for me. I
turned the letters all over to them
and they ﬁnally declared that Katie
Prowant, Durand, Michigan, was the
winner. And the prize 18 a pair of
shears, small size, just right to use
when doing any sewing, making pat-
terns, etc.

Each and every department and
article was declared the best but the
one chose most was the article “The
Truth About Henry Ford.” Over
half of the writers stated they
thought all would be more interested
in that article than any other arti-
cle or department.

I hope you will not forget Moth-
ers' Day. Remember your mother
with a small token of appreciation
and continue to show your love for
her each day by helping her all you
can with her work. Sometimes it
will take you away from your play
and you will not feel like doing it
but remember that mother is always
ready to help you and wants to have
you enjoy yourself although many
times it causes her considerable ex-
tra work—UNCLE NED.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Hello Uncle Ned:———I am writing
to tell you Which department I like
best of the Business Farmer, and
why I think the readers will like it,
too. The “Farmers' Service Bur-
eau” is my choice. I think the
readers will like it best because it is
a clearing department for every
farmer’s everyday troubles, and if at
any time a question on any subject
comes up in their home that they
went answered and answered right,
all they need to do is to just let the
Farmers’ Service Bureau Department
know about it and they answer it by
return mail or through the next is-
sue of the Business Farmer—and
say, Uncle Ned, if you can’t decide
after April 14th, just ask the Farm-
ers' Bureau Service Department. I’m
sure it can help you. Ha! Ha! I
will close with best wishes. From
Katie Prowant, Durand, Mich.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I have been a
reader of the Business Farmer for
about two years and I thought I
would write to you and your merry
circle. I live on a farm of 400
acres. We raise nearly everything
that is to be raised in this county,
or is suitable for this climate. I

time trying to ﬁnd an article for this
contest. It seems as tho they are
all so helpful and such a service to

ment in this issue, but I found it at

Dear Uncle Nedz—I think your
idea about our letter to you tell—
ing you what article we like the best
in this magazine is a good one. I
also like mystry prizes.

I read the last issue carefully, in
fact, I read all of the issues. I liked
the article “The Truth About Henry
Ford,” by Sarah T. Bushnell, the
best, because I think Henry Ford is
one of our greatest living Americans.
You know, too, that Henry Ford
may run for president of the United
States, he may even be our president,
and we" should know more about
him. This article has been running .
in this magazine for quite a while.
I have read it every time. In the
last issue it told about his schools,
hospitals and other things. Don’t
you think the person who is bright
enought to invent a Ford deserves a
great deal of credit? I do. I will
close now so my cousins will have
room for their letters on our page.
With love, your niece—Beryl Brad-
ley, Dexter Mich. s

Dear Uncle Ned: I have read many
interesting letters from boys and
girls and liked them very much, and
thought I would write to you. I am
a boy 16 years old and live on a farm

‘ of 40 acres with my father and moth-

er. My birthday is the 17th of Oct-
ober and if I have any twin sisters or
brothers I would like t hear from
them. Well, I must close but maybe
I will write again sometime. Every-
body please write to me as I would
like to hear from you—Joseph
Forstner, Jr., Allegan, R. F. D. No. 1,
Mich.

Dear Uncle Ned:——As I was read-
ing the M. B. F., I saw you "would
like to have some help. I am will-
ing to help you decide the most in-
teresting department in the Business
Farmer.

I think the most interesting de-
partment is “Poultry for Proﬁt.” I
think it is interesting because some
people want to buy poultry and they
want to know what kind to buy for
they want profit off their chickens.
I also have another department I
think is quite interesting. That is
“Michigan Crops.” I think this is
quite interesting because some men
are thinking of what crops to put in,
where, and how much they might
earn and if they read it they know
better what to do.

This is the first time I am writing
to you. I would like to join your
merry circle. I live one quarter of
a mile west of the school house. I
am in the sixth grade in school. The
one that guesses my age correctly
will receive a letter. My age" is from
10 to 16 years. I live on a ninety

Dear Uncle Nah—Oi the M. B. F.
I think the “Pictures from Far and

most pleasing to every one. The
Children’s Hour is very nice, too, but

the pictures are the best, because old .

people can enjoy them as well as the
young. From the pictures that we
see and read about, it teaches us
what there is on different lands and
places. It a person does not travel
or even go about a bit, they do not
know anything of the world. By
having pictures people can look at
them and read about them and al-
ways learn, because they are never
too old to learn. If the people can-
not read some one, could read for

them to help them. We can learn,

how the world is progressing from
pictures alone. Your niece, Rose

Dear Uncle Nedz—I am a girl of
eleven and live an a twenty acre
farm and like the Children’s Hour
very much. i

In the March 31st issue you asked

the best department in the paper. I. ‘

think “The Truth About Henry
Ford" is the very best. His success
rules are indeed true. The story is

interesting because he is a real man
It is wonderful; his and his wife’s
work of helping the poor and friend-
less as well as, his employees. My
father and mother think the story
very nice. They have always liked
Henry Ford.
friend, and a true American. His
factory, foundry and trade school
are certainly worth reading about. I
remain, your reader, Faith E. Har-
ris, Alpena, Mich.

Dear Uncle Ned :—I have never
written before but hope you will ac—
cept this letter from an old reader. I '
am a farm girl and live on a farm of
160 acres. I am 5 ft. tall and weigh
103,_pounds. My birthday is the
15th of April. Have I a twin? I
was 13 years old. I saw Bernice
Mauer’s riddle and think the answer
is “Each.” Am I right? ’I would
like to' earn the prize Uncle Ned is
giving, so here is my opinion of the
things in the paper for this week: ,

“Preventing the Potato Land-
slide" was good. “The Farmers’

Service Bureau” and also “What the .

Neighbors say” and "Fruit and
Orchard" are very good. “Poultry
for Profit” is also good. I know that
a great many people are interested
in “The Truth About Henry Ford”
It is very good. I think that every
Michigan farmer should have the
paper. It is very good. All the
way around it is hard to pick out
which is the best things in the paper.
There, Uncle Ned, is what I think.
No one helped me make it up. 'I
did it myself. - I have no father, but
have a step-father. I will go to
high school Harbor Springs next
year. How many of the cousins go
to Sunday School and church? I do
and love to. I have always gone
and“ always will. We have a v ﬁne
teacher. Goodbye 'with love to all
the cousins. Let’s boost our page.

Every evening a curtain goes up
on the “greatest show on earth”,
and yet it is spread right over your
farm home, no matter where you live.
That you may appreciate this show
we publish this chart of the May sky
and the comments of a tamous
authority. If enough of our readers
indicate their interest in this de-
partment, by telling us so, even on a
postal card, we will make this a reg-
ular monthly feature of The Business
Feynman—The Editor.

HE ﬁrst two weeks of May pres-
T cut a particularly ﬁne opportun—
ity for the observation of the
largest planet of the entire solar
system, the giant Jupiter. On May
5’ the planet will be in opposition to
the sun, which means to the astron-
omer that it will lie exactly opposite
the sun in the sky; it will rise at
sunset and set at sunrise, approxi-
mately.

Furthermore, the earth will be
nearer to the planet, and, therefore,
it will appear larger in the telesc0pe
and brighter to the naked eye. Its
stellar magnitude will be about
minus two; brighter than Sirius, the
brightest of the ﬁxed stars, whose
magnitude is minus one and six—ten-
ths. Sirius has already set at map
time and will not appear on the map
for many months.

Jupiter will be found in the-south-
eastern sky below Spica, the ﬁrst
magnitude star of the Constellation of
Virgo. No other very bright stars

- are near the planet and it is itself

very much brighter than Spica.
Fairly close to Spica is another
bright planet, Saturn, with its rings,
which can easily be distinguished
from the ﬁxed star by the absence of
twinkling. Saturn also is much
brighter than Spica, although not
nearly, so bright as Jupiter. Saturn’s
magnitude is about plus one-halt.
Spica’s about plus one and two-ten-
ths. It will be remembered that the
smaller the magnitude order the
greater the brilliancy and that minus
magnitudes are a continuation of
the series of magnitude numbers to-
ward the side of greater brightness.
If'one is so fortunate as to possess
a small telescope or a good ﬁeld
glass, observation of the satellites of
Jupiter and their movements will
well repay effort and time. The dis-
covery of these satellites by Galileo
was the ﬁrst discovery in the.heav—
ens made by means otan- optical in-

.strument, marking a most signiﬁcant

milestone in the progress of science.
Galileo discovered tour compan-
ions with the planet and satisﬁed
himself by a careful study of their
movements that they really were
satellites of the great planet, just as
the moon is a satellite of the earth.
He discovered only the tour larger
at the Jupiter family oi Moons, and
these are theonly ones visible in any
small moderate sized! telescope.
But ' e are, in reality, nine mem-
 sgtellite family, the re-
" V  “£59,th been discovered

   
 
 

    

    

minim”

' than either of these is that of the

roller. m and Soﬁa. all. I
  '    

long after the beginning of what we
may call modern astronomy, only
the four satellites discovered by Gal-

ileo in 1610, were known to the
scientiﬁc world. In that year Prof.
E. E. Barnard announced the

discovery of a ﬁfth satellite, lying
closer to the planet than any of
those already Known. Two more
were discovered photographically by
the American observer, Perrine, in
1905. Then an eighth was found by ,
Melotte oi! Greenwich, England, and
a ninth and last—at present—by S.
B. Nicholson of Lick Observatory in
California.

These latter two are very far from
the planet and have the peculiarity
of moving about clock-like direction
1. e., from east to west, instead of
the reverse direction, which is the
general direction of orbital move-
ment in the solar system. Whether
the reverse direction means a diﬁer- ‘
ence in origin or evolution/ from
these satellites having the normal
direction of movement is not at pres—
ent clear. I ’

The amateur astronomer, with a,
small telescope at his disposal, will
ﬁnd particularly interesting the plot-
ting ot the movements of the satel-
lites with respect to their great plan—
et and also the observation of satel-
lite eclipses which are very frequent.
Since the satellites revolve about
Jupiter, they will at times be hidden
from view by the bulk of the planet,
and this forms one kind or eclipse.
Again, the satellite may be in a pos-
ituation where it should be visible
from the earth, but is in the shadow
cast by the planet, and is thus de-
prived of the sunlight by means of
which it is made visible to us.

This is another kind of eclipse.
But more interesting a phenomenon

passage of a satellite in front of the
face of Jupiter itself. In that case
it will often throw a tiny shadow on
the planet’s brilliant orb, and this
tiny black speck can be seen to move
across the planetary disk. The sat-
ellite itself can also be seen, in a
large telescope particularly, when
crossing one of the dark cloud belts
seen on the planet. These remarks
refer, oi! course, to the Galilcan sat-
ellites only.

The winter constellations are now
disappearing from our map and the
evening heavens. The grand aggre—
gation of stars known as the con—
stellation of Orion, the Hunter, is .
below the horizon at map time, al-
though, it can still be observed low
down in the West at about the end
of thevtwilight. Sirius also is gone, ,
and Procon is about to follow.

are Capella In the tar Northwest.

OF GARDENS -

‘ ND because the breath of ﬂowers
is far sweeter in the air, where
it comes and goes, like the

warbling of music, than in the hand,

therefore nothing is more ﬁt for that
delight, than to know what be the
ﬂowers and plants that do best per-
fume the "air. That which
above all others yields the sweetest
smell in the air, is the violet; espec—
ially the white double violet, which
comes twice a year, about the mid—
dle of April, and about Bartholom—
ew-tide. Next to that is the musk
rose; then the strawberry leaves dy—
ing, with a most cordial smell; then
the ﬂower of the vines—it is a little
dust, like the dust of a bent, which
grows upon the cluster, in the
ﬁrst coming forth; then sweet-briar;
then wallﬂowers, which are very de—
lightful, to be set under a parlor, or
lOWer chamber window; then pinks
and gilliﬂowers, especially the mat—
ted pink and clove gilliﬂower; then
the honey-suckles, so they be some—

what afar off. Of bean—ﬂowers I

speak not, because they are ﬁeld—

ﬂowers; but those which perfume
the air most delightfully.
_Francis Bacon.

 

OUR FRIENDSHIP GARDEN
0 you know what a “Friendship
Garden" means? It is a beauti—
ful thing to have. It cherishes
so many loving thot’s and brings us
so much closer to our neighbors.

Just think, if you want to you can
start one this spring and have such
a variety of beautiful ﬂowers and
shrubs for little or no expense. A
“Friendship Garden” means the giv—
ing of a slip off some plant or if
you have a good supply of pansies or
baby breath, lily of the valley, pinks
or any ﬂower that multiplies fast
and you can spare some out of your
garden, give it to your friend and
neighbor and in exchange, she may
have some different kind that would
ﬁnd a lovely spot in your garden.

These exchanges may start with
just a root of some treasured plant
that would never be missed, and
what happiness~ it would bring to see
it-growing in your neighbors front—
yard. A slip off of the old vine that
would help cover up the bare places
around Mrs. Jone’s front porch.

Surely this would bring a great
deal of beauty to your neighborhood
and make the whole county known
for its beauty and thotful women—
folks. A forget~me—n0t bed can
give so_much of itself and still re-
main as tho untouched. The
marigold is always a thing of
beauty in a garden and grows
so rapidly and propagates so
fast.

There are so many species of
Perenniels that once you have
started them growing in your
yard you will enjoy untold hap—
piness from the wonderful ﬂow—
ers that come each year with so
little effort attached to them.

Let us all try this year to see
what we can do to make our
front—yard attractive.

Dill.-—-(Anethum graveolens). The
seeds of this annual have a peculiar
pungent taste and are used in many
ways as a condiment and as an addi-

the ﬂavor. The whole plant is
strongly aromatic. Grown from
seed sown where they are to grow.
Fennel. — (Feniculum vulgare).
An aromatic annual used for making

dried ﬂowers are
used for cushions
and stored with lin-

I Mothers Problems

k

Sometimes Delay Punishment
A MOTHER of my acquaintance
had purchased a beautiful din—.
ner-set, the ﬁrst real “set” she
had ever owned. Together she and
her daughter were washing it and
putting the glossy ﬂQWered dishes in
the china closet. The mother, on
her way to the dining-room with a
stack of bright dinner-plates, kick—
ed up the rag rug that lay a few
steps from the table. The daughter,
following directly after her failed to
notice the upturned rug, caught her
foot in the fold and -fell, her own
stack of dishes crashing to the ﬂoor
and breaking into hundreds of
pieces. '
.At the crash the mother turned
and glared angrily at the girl. She
placed her own dishes ’on the
table and started with hands
clenched toward her daughter.
Then, suddenly, she relaxed. She
hit her lips, then pointed toward
the hallway. “Eva,” she said,
“go up to your room at once.
Stay there till I tell you to come
down. Right now I am too
angry to think what I ought to
o.”' 3

By the time the mother had

iced the turned—up rug which
she then remembered having
kicked up, and calmed- down

somewhat, she was ashamed of
the feeling she had shown to~
ward the daughter who was not
to blame for the accident. As
soon as she could she went to~
the girl’s room, where she found
her sobbing on the bed, told her

e her ‘bw

ward therrdaughter; Then, sudden-
- 21y,; she .relaxed. She, bit her lips,

 “then pointed toward the hallwaY-

"'Eva,” she' said, “go up to your
room at once... Stay.their till I tell
you to come down. . Right now I am
too angry to think what I ought to
do.” .

By the time the mother had clear-
ed awaythe wreckage, noticed the
turnedvup rug which she then re—

membered having kicked up, and
calmed down somewhat, she was
ashamed of the feeling she had

shown toward the daughter who was
not to blame for the accident. Soon
as she could she went to the girl’s
room, where she found her sobbing
[on the bed, told her she realized it
.was an accident and asked her to
come down and help with the rest
of the dishes. '

A punishment for that accident
would have been unjust, and the
child would have known it was un-
just and been hurt, perhaps forever,
by it. Yet many, many unjust pun—
ishments are meted out to children
because the parents punish in the
heat 'of their anger without waiting
till they can judge calmly and cor-
rectly.

Remember this incident the next
time some accident or deed occurs
which rouses you to‘ sudden anger.
Rather than ever punish unjustly,
send the child responsible for your
feelings to his room and do not go to
him till you have weighed his offence
most"carefully. If you would not
later be ﬁlled with regret, it is some-
times best to delay punishment.—
Margaret Bartlett.

MOTHERS’ DAY
OTHERS’ Day—it means so
much! Mothers’ Day should

hold for her all the things that
are beautiful. How happy We
should be upon May 2nd, when we
can show our living mothers all the
tenderness and thotfulness that
only a child of hers can show. No
matter how trifling the deed mother
will think it the sweetest and noblest
because her boy or her girl was thot—
ful of her on this Day set aside to
commerate the ones that have passed
on and the day to show the living.
Let- us not be forgetful.

The Runner’s Bible

 

 

We must humble (Ps. 37: 11), willing to be
taught (Prov. 13: 18), to receive, nndthen when
joy has been let into the heart (Neh. 8: 10),
and gratitude is felt, we are in a condition to re-
ceive the blessing—to know the Truth. and we
can be assured that Love will guide us, that suc-

things work together for good.

We must also protect ourselves
from all that would bring us harm,
or even disturb us, by realizing that
we are enveloped in an impenetrable
armor of love and evil cannot reach
us.

’Pm MERIING' .
OHETIMES farmers who keep
cows as source of income rath-
er than c gratify a hobby, are
inclined to discount records made by
pure brads, claiming that big daily

three, or four times a day or by re-
sorting to other methods which are
artiﬁcial or unnatural. ,No doubt
the claim that the“ yield is the result
of extra labor and not due to the
natural producing ability ofKtbe cow
is true in "some cases, but not in all
herds, for example, that of W. J.
Gamble of Caro. ,

In this herd seven pure- bred Hol-
stein cows, freshentng since Christ-
mas, and milked but twice a day,
showed on the barn sheets so far in
April, an average production of
64.44 pounds each per day. Of
course part of such good production
is due to good care given these cows
by the manager, Thomas Kimmell,
but the. main credit must be given to
the cows themselves, that, standing
in stanchions, without any baby'lng,
can roll out practically 30 quarts of
milk each per day.

‘ And some farmers say that once
in a while a cow without any forc-
ing can give' a big ﬂow for short
time but she would have to be pam—
pered to stick to it throughout the
year. Such farmers may well pond-
er over the record made by a pure
bred Holstein in a. Cow Testing As-
sociation in Livingston County
where she was given ordinary care
I by an, ordinary farmer, fed ordinary
farm feeds and milked but twice a
day throughout the year. She yield-
ed 17,246 pounds of milk and fat
enought for 801 pounds of butter;
and incidentally showed a proﬁt ove
her feed costs of $187.00. ‘

There is‘ certainly something in
pure blood and breeding when cows
can show every day production such
as these cows did.

DOCK YOUR LAMBS
R. Louis F. Swift has a farm at
Everett, Illinois, thirty miles
from Chicago, and has had
more or less to do with raising sheep
and lambs. Mr. Swift says:

“In order to realize best returns
in the production of lambs, a. certain
rule must be followed. Much mon-
ey has been lost by people raising
lambs through failure to observe
this rule, prevalent in the western
states, which is as follows:

“ ‘All lambs must have their
tails cut off, and all the bucks
not needed for breeding pur-
poses must be made wethers
when about two weeks old.’
“Nothingis so discouraging and in-

excusable or ﬁnancially disastrous as
to see lambs in the fall or later, with

i long tails (which means negligence

on the part of the raiser), or buck
lambs sold at a big discount on ac-

:count of their coarse quality for
‘ mutton,

in the fall, which should
have been made wethers in the
spring and sold for a. premium as
wethers.”

CANNOT KILL TICKS BY FEED-
ING SULPHUR

Will you kindly inform me wheth-
er sulphur if fed to sheep will kill
the tic-ks on them? How should I
'feed sulphur to .sheep, in their salt
or grain, and how long and how
much would I give 50 sheep to rid.
them for ticks? ——L. K., North
Branch, Michigan.

——-The feeding of sulphur to sheep
will not destroy the ticks, nor cause
the ticks to leave the sheep. Sul-
phur is relished by sheep and they
use considerable sulphur in produc—
ing a good fleece of wool. We,
therefore, add some sulphur to the
salt which we give our sheep. Just
at present we are feeding our sheep
in place of

 

 

 

salt:

20‘ lbs. salt, 20 lbs. precipitated
bone' meal, 5. lbs. sulphur. There
should be no danger of the sheep
catching cold if they get wet While
taking this mixture—G. A. Brown,
Prof. of Animal Husbandry, M. A. C.

 

RAISING PIG 0N BOTTLE

Will you please tell me what to
feed a little pig when raising it on a
bottle?———-W. H. L., Beldiug, Mich.
——The feeding of orphan pigs is
rather a difficult matter and requires
very close attention to detail. As
a general rule it is not advisable to
endeavor to alter the composition of
cow’s milk any, but rather to start
the little pigs on whole milk, feeding
then from six to eight times per day

a. small allowance each time. To
start with, a. pint of whole milk per
day per pig is sufficient. This

shduld be gradually increased until
the pigs are receiving about one
quart of milk per day per pig, by
the time they are two weeks of age, n
at which time the number of feeds
may be reduced to three or four.

The pigs may be taught to drink
by placing the milk in a shallow pan
or dish and forcing the little plgs’
heads in until they get a taste of
milk two or three times and they
will soon learn to drink. Where the
bottle is resorted to, it means too
much work where one has a little of
eight or ten pigs. In addition~to
the milk, thepigs should be given
access to good em and also

severe blimrds, the market under-
went a marked raise, from 30c to a
dollar in a few days. What was the
situation of the organized farmer,
selling thru his co-op. and the man
who “lets Blinks have ’em because
I get the cash right 01!?"

C. C. Wells, Exchange Manager
at Cadillac, has recently made this
clear in a letter. He says, “During
the ﬁrst 16 days of March our aver—
age not returns to growers for pota—
ties were 52:: a hundred on plain
sacks and 60c a hundred on branded

sacks. This average is based on the

salesbt 151 cars.

“During the same period indepen-
dent buyers in western Michigan
paid an average of only 31.5 cents
per hundred. In very few cases did
dealers’ prices reach our lowest ﬁg-
ure, and at many small country
points they paid as low as 15 to 20c
a hundred.

“The jump in prices which occur-
red March 1st- gave our competitors
a chance to take unfair advantage
of the growers’ ignorance of market
conditions. The. advance was so
sudden that many farmers sold at
the old prices; and, even a week
later. some did not know the real
situation. Such persons are “easy
picking” for speculating buyers who
have an opportunity, under such
conditions, to regain some of the
money lost in bucking the Co-op.
heretofore.

“A farmer at Weidman made
$159.60 by refusing a dealers’ offer
of 25c and shipping through the
local association. Our pool price
netted him 63c. He advertised this
result in his neighborhood and, as a
result, the Weidman warehouse was
again plugged full of potatoes.

“Ivan M. Nielsen, Manager at
Gowen, wrote me—‘If your prices
continue to be as far above local
prices as they have been for the
past two weeks, we will ship for
many new members and will handle
more cars than ever before. ’ ”

California farmers have ,found
prosperity by merchandising their
products, not dumping them. The
story of the prune, orange, lemon,
raisin, and walnut growers is, or
should be, an old one to us in Michi—
gan. But “selling to Blinks because
I get the cash” is not merchandising.
To use plain terms, it is pin—healed
short sightedness. It is placing
enough or your product in competi-
tive hands to break your own mar-
ket and bear down your own price.
The reports of the Michigan Potato
Growers Exchange for the past win-
ters are in your Farm Bureau Oﬂice.
Run and see them. Learn of the
many times when independent deal—
ers in Southern Michigan undersold
your Exchange in Pittsburg, in
Cleveland, in ‘Chicago—undersold
them with the same potatoes you
“sold to Blinks for Cash”———and forc-
ed the Exchange prices down, thus
cutting 011' your own nose in return.

No, co—operative merchandising is
not going to beneﬁt you as long as
you let your neighbor do it, and you
“sell to Blinks for the cash.” Your
organization is now set up and work-
ing. Give it your support. If any
grower has to sell for cash, a method
can be found to deal with his own
organization that way. New credit
laws, passed through organized farm
bureau inﬂuence by the last Con—
gress, are providing a way to do this.
We have got to do it ourselves.

Co-operative marketing will at
best be but half—success, a milk and
water Michigan reﬂection of the 180—
proof California brand, till we see
into this thing far enough to stop
competing with ourselves in our own
market.

BLASTIN G DRAINAGE BITCHES
1 WITH DYNAMITE

ITH the possible exception of

clearing cut-over land in the

states of Wisconsin, Michigan
and Minnesota, more dynamite is
used for blasting drainage ditches
than for any other agricultural pur-
pose. What this means can perhaps
be realized by considering that one
single orchardist uses more than a
carload of dynamite every year for
planting fruit trees.
distinct methods of blasting ditches,
known respectively as the propaga-
tion method and the electrical meth-
od. These names are not entirely
satisfactory, for a propagation ditch
can be shot electrically, as will be
explained. Straight notroglycerin
dynamite of 50 per cent and 60
per cent strength has the pr‘perty of
transmitting the detonation impulse
from one cartridge to another, even
when these cartridges are buried in
the ground, with incredible speed.
In soft, mucky, swampy land, dyna-
mite of the type mentioned will
propagate an explosion when placed
in holes as far apart as twenty
inches and some-times farther. Eigh-
teen inches is the standard distance
between holes for ditches requiring
but one cartridge per hole. The
operation is as follows:

A line or string is stretched along
the course of the proposed ditch. At
every eighteen inches a hole is-mar‘a
in the ground, usually with a point-
ed crowbar, to the depth desired,
and a cartridge f 11/,” x 8” 50 per
cent straight dynamite is placed in
each hole not deeper than thirty
inches. It is necessary to prime, or
put a cap in, but one of these car-
tridges and that is the one nearest
the center of the line of charges.
Either an electrical blasting cap or
a blasting cap and a piece of fuse
may be used. We usually put an
extra dynamite cartridge in this
central hole to be sure that the init—
ial detonation is perfect. In ordin—
ary swamp land it is not necessary to
tamp the holes at all. The central
hole is exploded either by lighting
the fuse or by connecting the elec-
tric blasting cap wires to a blasting
machine by leading wire and oper-
ating the blasting machine. The
shock is communicated from the
center charge to the adjoining
charges which pass it on to those
next and so on at the rate of about
15,000 feet per second, so that as far
as the eye can see the whole line of
ditch explodes at ‘once and a regular
curtain of mud goes up several
hundred feet in the air. The result
is a perfectly straight and completed
ditch requiring no trimming and
leaving no spoil bank. This is the
quickest and most eﬁective method
of digging a ditch in wet soil.

It is not practical however in dry
sand, and care should be taken in
attempting such a ditch in wet sand
or gravel. In any case it is not wise
to attempt to blow the Whole ditch
at ﬁrst. Test shots of ﬁfteen or
twenty feet along the line of the pro—
posed ditch should be made with
different spacings and diﬁerent
charges until the operator is satis-
ﬁed that the charge and spacing is

There are two ‘

correct for his purpose. The prins
cipal error that beginners commit in
blasting a ditch is placing the
charges too deep. While the action
of explosives is in the line; of the
least resistance, they are so quick
that the ditch will be excravated
several inches below the bottom of
the charges. '

The propagation method is used
extensively to make ditches for
draining swamps, meadows and low
lands and can be used where any
other method would be out of the
question, as for instance through a
tangle of briars, underbrush and
other vegetation. Where stumps,
logs, boulders or other obstructions
are encountered in the line of the
proposed ditch, extra charges of
dynamite are placed under such ob—
structions so that they will be
blown out along with the ditch.

The electrical method has one ad-
vantage over the propagation meth-
od in that it can be used in any kind
of soil whatever, although in dry,
shifting sand it is not possible to
blast a ditch very economically.
Holes are mr"e in the ground .to the
desired depthas before, but are
spaced farther apart up to thirty-six
inches for ditches requiring only two
or three cartridges per hole. Each
hole is primed with an electric blast-
ing cap and these electric blasting
caps are connected in series, up to
the capacity of the blasting machine
available; that is, if you have a No.
3 blasting machine you can ﬁre only
thirty holes at a time; if you have
a No. 5 blasting machine you can
shoot one hundred. Another ad-
vantage of the electrical method is
that any kind of high explosive can
be used, although a 40 per cent Red
Cross Extra is the grade usually rec—
ommended. Where stumps or other
obstructions are encountered in the
line of the ditch and extra’charges
are necessary to blow them out, each
of these extra charges has to be
primed with an electric blasting cap.

While ditches blasted with dyna-
mite are perfectly satisfactory for
open drainage, the surrounding
material is so loosened and shaken
up by the explosion that they do not
serve well for placing tile drains.
Blasted ditches retain their 'shape
and slope as well as, or better than,
dug ditches. Of course, no ditch is
a permanent channel. Most ditches
will ﬁll up in time, but a blasted
ditch does not ﬁll up any sooner
than any other kind. -

Up to about the ﬁrst of January,
1923 the agricultural representa—
tives of one manufacturer of dyna-
mite had collectively blasted about
one hundred and twenty miles of
drainage ditches with dynamite,
nearly all of it by the propagation
method. How many hundred miles

of ditches have been blasted” by-

farmers, road engineers, health of—
ﬁcials, and for mosquisto and ma-
laria control is not known but is
doubtless an impressive mileage. Al-
most any kind, length, width or
depth of a ditch can be blasted by
dynamite if enough explosive is
used and necessary care and intelli-
gence are exercised—Arthur La.
Motte, E. I. du Pont de Nemours &
Company.

CHANGING TIMES

 

. By JOHN T. BARTLETT

ARM taxes have gone up rapidly.
Moreover, they are not likely to
come down, in most places.

That is not such unpleasant news as
it ﬁrst seems, if we look into the sit-
uation. ' '

The explanation of higher taxes is
partly a higher standard of commun-
ity living, and partly a higher level
of community ﬂiciency. Taxes in
the writer’s ne ghborhood, for ex-
ample, for 1923, are practically
double what they were in 1922. The
district has put inra new and costly

Now, this district could have got

So the district voted to have _the

SMALLER FARM FAMILIES
RECENT survey by, competent
A investigators showed that it
costs, under typical farm condi—-

tions, $3,000 to raise a child to the

age of 18 years.

The exact ﬁgure doesn't matter.
What is fundamentally signiﬁcant is
that it costs a great deal to raise a.
child properly on the farm, and
though this ﬁgure is unquestionably
much less than for the town child,
and the farm child in the way of lab-
or contributes considerable to his
maintenance, the cost is increasing
from decade to decade. Moreover,
it is increasing faster through the
current period than at‘any previous
time.

The average family is small, not
through fear of childbirthhor a

‘shirking of family responsibilities,

but a moving desire of parents to do
all for such children as are born as
they merit. Back before the Civil
war, before the age of machinery, a
growing child’s labor matched,
sometimes exceeded, his or her keep.
There was no economic obstacle to
doing for one’s children all thatcth-
ers did, and to having a large fam-
ily. Then there .were large families.

There began to be smaller families
as children began not to pay their
way—as machine methods came in
with which human labor could not
compete. As they paid their way
less on the avérage farm, the size of
families continuallydecreased. The
number of children kept consider-
ably higher than with town families

because it was far less expensive to_

raise a farm child than a city child.

The gulf between a farm» child’s
economic return and the expense he
entails steadily widens, and ,as it
widens the number of children de-
creases. ~

We can expect smaller and still
smaller farm families. One result
absolutely assured is that, simultan-
eously, more and more operations
on the farm will be performed by
machines. Tractor farming is an
eventual certainty. Investment in
farm equipment will constantly in-
crease. Farm population, in rela-
tion to city population, will grow
less—John T. Bartlett.

 

HORSESHOE PITOHIIIG

FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD BOY IS
WORLD’S CHAMPION

15-YEAR—OLD lad in knickers

bockers now holds the national

horseshoe pitching champion-
ship, Harold Falor, of Akron, Ohio,
having tucked away ﬁrst honors
under his belt at St. Petersburg,
Fla., where the mid-winter national
tournament was held.

In taking the championship young
Falor dethroned Lundin, of New
London, 1a., who ﬁnished second in
the tournament. Lundin won his:
taurels at Des Moines, 1a., last Sum-
mer. C. C. Davis, Columbus, Ohio,
carried off third prize and Frank
Jackmn, Kellerton, Iowa, who held
the championship for several years,
ﬁnished fourth. 'Michigan’s champ-
ion, L. M. Wilkes, of Battle Creek,
won seventh place. There were 30
men and 6 women entered in the-
tourney. ‘

Mrs. J. F. Francisco, of Muskegon,
Mich., now holds the women’s na-
tional championship, taking ﬁrst
place at the St.,Petersburg tourney.
Mrs. C. A. Lanham, of Bloomington,
Ill., forfeited her title, failing to
compete in the mid-winter event.

In addition to winning the nation-
alhonors, Falor was bestowed \with
a diamond studded gold. medal and

was handed a checktfor ,$500._,L,und-v .

were of constant assistance to the

, salesmen.
‘ ‘ This year many new dealers have

been taken on and the old dealers
haye all requested new contracts.
The ice cream activities of the
association had a wonderful effect
upon its farmer members every-
' They saw
signs and painted
walls offering to the public a pro—
duct of their own farms and fac-
tories. They couldn’t go- into town
but what they would see. in the
stores, their city friends enjoying
this delicious ice cream. Frequent-
ly alongthe state roads they met the
great yellow League trucks equipped
with every modern contrivance for
refrigeration and delivery. They
saw at the railroad stations groups
of the League ice cream freezers on
their way to and from the market.
What could make a stronger ,ap-
peal to their pride and interest?
What could better boost the moral
of the membership? Many farmers
offered space on their barns or silos
for the outdoor advertising bulletins
of the League ice cream. Not only
do the farmers of the association
read these advertising signs that are
so prominent a feature of the Em-
pire State landscape but they im-
press themselves upon the senses of
of the tourist from cities and from
other states. And there is another

‘thing that the tourist sees as he

rides over New York State highways.
At the front gate or conspicuously
posted on the front of the dairy barn
or house he will see the Dairymen’s
League membership sign setting
forth the fact that the owner of the
farm is a member of the Dairymen’s
League Cooperative Association, Inc.
and is proud of it. These signs are
ten by twenty-seven inches a
made of metal and painted n he

which are used in all of .
advertising.

any other similar product on the
market. This h had a tendency
to stimulate othe manufacturers to
raise the quality of their products
but the farmers are still one jump
ahead of them.

It is quality that these business
farmers are banking on. They be—
lieve in advertising and advertising
in a big way but more than this they
believe in making good on their ad-
vertising by delivering the quality.
This is beginning to bring results
with the consuming public wherever
the League products are sold.

The Plan of Operation

The association operates on what
is generally called the pobling plan.
No matter in what form the milk of
these farmers ﬁnally reaches the
market, so far as returns are con-
cerned, it is all blended in, one pool.
That is, the money received for all
this milk in one form or another is
blended into one amount, expenses
of administration and certiﬁcates of
indebtedness deducted, and an aver-
age or base price ascertained. The
price which each farmer receives
for his milk varies to the freight
zone and the butterfat of his milk
of like quality in like amounts is
always paid for at the same base
rate. ‘

The association, on April 1, was
operating one hundred and fourteen
plants, seventy of which it actually
.owned. These operations are - all
controlled from the central ofﬁce of
the association and’ require about
sixteen hundred employees.

These farmers now own one of the
biggest and best distributing plants
in New York City, formerly the Levy
Dairy Company plant. This plant
is, capable of handling six thousand
cans of milk per day and a large
pink is now being
distributed to wholesalers and re-

sl

from railroad stations to distributing
centers throughout the. city. This
plant was purchased by the associa-
tion because the farmers felt that
they needed to have their own outlet
for at least a part of their pooled
milk reaching the New York market.

At the preset]: time about four

hundred people are employed for the

clerical work in tin ofﬁces of the
association at Utica and New York
City. There are nine hundred and
ﬁfty—four membership units called
local associations, each one being in-
corporated under the laws of the
State. The League territory is di—
vided into twenty-four directors'
districts with a. director elected for
a term of three years from each dis—
trict. Each year eight directors ure
elected. The locals elect delegates
to attend what are called district
meetings where directors are nomin-
ated and elected. Elections are by
ballot and the result is announced
at the annual meeting of the asso-
ciation held on the third Thursday
in- June each year. Only actual
dairymen who are producing milk
for the market.may become mem-
bers of the association.

As organized atipresent the high-
est departmental executive of the us—
sociation is the sales and advertising
director. The recent growth in sales
and the increasing importance of
the marketing‘activities of the asso-
ciation have made it necessarv to
move the sales and_ advertising of—
.ﬁces from Utica to New York City.

During the cancellation period in
February last there were something
like ten thousand withdrawals. A
large proportion of these were with—
drawals that did not in any way ef—
fect the pooling operations of the 
sociation. During the year
nine thousand new contracts were
signed up which much more than
Offset any reductions brought up by
cancellations. In short, the past

TME T0 PLOW CLOVER UNDE

I would like to know when w . -
be the best time to plow sweet clover
down? I want to plow the ﬁrst crop
down, when would it do the most
good, when it is green or when dry?
———B. C., Traverse City, Michigan.

-—-The ﬁrst crop of sweet clover
should be plowed down during the
early fall after the plants have prac-
tically ﬁnished their growth for that
season. It is advisable to plow crop
under at the time it has reached its
maxunum growth 4nd before the
plant has lost too much of its moist-
ure. If it is 'still green it will stay
decaying much more readily and be—
come more thoroughly incorporated
into the soil.—-—C. R. Megee, Ass'o.

POULTRY DOES PAY
COMPARATIVELY small pro,-
portion of the people who keep

’ chickens have any deﬁnite ﬁg-

ures to know just exactly how proﬁt-
able their hens have been. There
is a general notion in the minds of
poultry keepers who are giving their
birds 3 fair chance by feeding them
properly and providing comfortable
houses that the time and attention
which the chickens require are well
paid by the returns. However, it is
very diﬂicult to secure ﬁgures which
can be used as a deﬁnite basis for
stating whether .or not~the poultry
enterprise, as commonly carried on
among farmers, is proﬁtable or
otherwise. Indeed, there are many
economists who assert that if the
poultry ﬂock were properly charged
with all the feed eaten and allow-
ance were made for the hours of
labor actually spent, it would be
found that poultry keeping was a.
poorly paid occupation. ' f

The numerous instances of spec-
ialty poultry keepers who are mak-
ing satiéfactory incomes from de—
voting their entire time to poultry
raising rather disprove the assertion
that intelligent a plication of time
and energy to th problems of poul-
try keeping cannot .be made to yield
a. satisfactory recompense. How-
ever, the fact that here and there a
farm, where exclusive attention is
given to poultry raising is succe‘sful
does not necessarily prove thats
poultry ﬂock as a side line on a gen-
eral farm which receives only such
care as can be furnished in the time
left after attending to the various
other farm duties is an enterprise

,4.

‘Vthat justiﬁes its existence by the
ﬁnancial rewards.

For the reason that such ﬁgures
are relatively scarce, the reports
from, the demonstration farm ﬂocks
in Indiana and Missouri ought to be
of particular interest to farm poultry
keepers in general. ' .

A poultry news letter from the
Division of Poultry Husbandry of
Purdue University, located at La-
fayette, Indiana, shows that the
demonstration ﬂocks scattered thru-
out Indiana managed by practical
farmers on their own farms returned
a. labor income for 1922 of $2.45

per hen. This report shows that the
average demonstration farm 234
hens. These hens layed an average

of 128 eggs each and these eggs
brought an average of 30 cents per
dozen. The records show that it
cost $1.53 to supply the feed for
each individual hen on these demon-
stration farms. This feed cost',>how-
ever, includes the feed fed to roost-
ers and growing stock and is some—
what higher‘than the amount re-
quired for feeding hens for egg pro-
duction where no young stock is be-
ing raised. However, since the typi-

cal farm poultry enterprise includes ~

the raising of chicks each year to re-
place the layers which may die or be
culled out, the feed cost per hen on
the basis of the total amount of feed

~ used by the ﬂock, ought to be of

practical value to poultry keepers.

Reports from the University of
Missouri, Agricultural Extension
Service, released a few weeks ago
show that the records from 289 dem-_
onstration ﬂocks, conducted by farm-
ers’scattered throughout the state of
Missouri, show an average of 154
hens kept on each farm which layed
128 eggs per hen during the year
ending November 1', 1922. The‘feed
cost for each hen on these farms
was 81.81 and the net labor income
over food cost was $2.51 per hen.
The average demonstration farm in
Indiana kept 23.4 hens, which pro-
duced a labor income per farm of
$572.81, while the Missouri demon-

stration ﬂock , averaged only 154

hens per farmand produced a labor
income of $385.24 per farm.

In either case the labor income'
»would go a. long way toward paying

Ordinary farm wages to one person.
and anyone familiar with poultry
feeding methods on the average

farm knows, that the average farm

the poultry. -‘ "

THE “CHICKEN FEVER"
HEN the chicken fever gets 'a
vcgood hold on anyone it seldom
or never lets go. Our‘ "Cullud,
'brudders” are attacked by it in early
life and there are" other night ma-
rauders which have an appetite for
a bit if chicken to the great vexatlon .
of the poultry raiser.

There are some who raise chick-
ens who term themselves fanciers
and they are; ,there are some who
wish to be fanciers and will become
so. There are others who fall to
class and they are apt to; join the
ranks of utility breeders. The man
who is breeding fancy poultry de-
pends upon sales of stock and hatch-
ing eggs for his income, the utility

 

' man from eggs alone.

To Keep Up Prices -

If he is a real fancier he never
sells a male bird for within around
him dollars of what such a one
would bring as market poultry,
which is right. No male should ever
go into a breeding pen that is not
worth $5, and $10 would be rather
more appropriate and the fanciers
from that price up—or as far as
one likes.

Sell the market poultry, keep up
prices and raise the standard of the
ﬂocks. The sale of ﬁve hens, win-
ners in a laying contest, is reported
at $400 each or 02,000 for the
quintette. For a. world’s record
Buff Orpington hen $5,000 is said to
have been reported. The $400 hens
were bought by a. commercial poult-
ryman, one who sells baby chicks
and is no novice at the game. ”

Fifty Dollar Pallets _

We never get quite that bad down
here in Maine, yet the fever has run
fairly high at times. Even at the
recent Maine State Poultrnyhow
$25 females were frequently quoted
and the author seemed toetake it
quite as a matter of course and the
writer heard of cockerels there
which had cost as high as $40 and
that would be rather low in real
high-class chicken society.

Prices depend much upon how
badly the owner wants the money
and how badly the other fellow
wants the bird. There is one Maine
man who frequently gets a chance to
ship choice pullets at $50 and per-
haps even more. Thera- are few
early layers among, the birds of the
ultra fancy. .A pullet doesn't lay
many eggs before she is "off bloom."

Time of Hatching

The commercial poultry foods
warranted to make hens lay, ﬁnd no
place in the pens of the fancier.
Foodstuffs are sought that discour-
age egg production and methods like
walking the’ pullets in the snow
have been employed for the same
purpose.

The object is to insure egg pro-
duction around March 15th to May
let. A lot of hatching is done be-
tween May lst and June lst but not
by them who are looking for pullets
commencing to lay by October 15th
and in a month from then they
should be going strong.

Hens or Pallets?

There are many who behave the
year-old hens are fully as proﬁtable
as pullets, even more so. It seems
probable some one will be hatching ‘
chickens in August for the next year
layers. Such chickens would get a
good start before winter and could
be held back a bit to begin laying in
September of. next year. The few
who have tried this speaks highly of
the laying qualities of the birds
hatched at that time. 

There is or lot of good money in
the poultry business. A couple of
ladies of our acquainch report
about $1.25 each above cost of feed.

dying would be indeed an.optimlst
[if-he did not deserve to be designat-

Led by seme harsher term. ‘ It is en-
 tirely in the nature of things that
some chicks out of every ﬂock will

be lost by secident, disease, or the
attacks of vermin and varmints. ,

Since the percentage of the chicks
,which die beforereaching market-
able age is a very important factor
in determining proﬁts, it should be

» of interest to every poultry keeper to

have somedeﬁnite ﬁgures on the
rate of mortality which may be rea-
sonably expected in trying to grow
chicks. In the hazards of life which
are coverable' by insurance, particu-
larly as applied to humans, the prob-
abilities of death for a given age has
been worked out to a mathematical
certainty which places the business
of life insurance on a scientiﬁc basis.

Possibly due to‘the fact/ that each
individual chick represents such a
small economic quantiy but few ﬁg-
ures are available to show the reas-
onable rate of motality in attempt-
ing to grow chickens out of baby
chicks. For the reason that such
ﬁgures are relatively scarce, reports
from a large number of demonstra-
tion farms in Indiana which show
that an average of only 63 chicks are
raised out of each 100 hatched,
ought to be of interest. These same
ﬁgures show that for each 100 eggs
set only 57 chicks were hatched and
since 37 percent of these chicks died
before reaching marketable age,
only 36 chicks were raised out of
each 100 eggs set. Since at least
half of these chicks are likely to be
roosters, approximately six eggs had
to be set on these Indiana farms for
each pullet raised.

Possible to Raise 75 Percent

While deﬁnite ﬁgures covering
any large number of poultry plants
are relatively scarce, showing the
percent of chickens raised, the Indi-
ana average is somewhat lower than
is generally-considered satisfactory.
On well—managed poultry plants
where the chicks are given the bene-
ﬁt of satisfactory brooding equip-
ment and scientiﬁc feeding methods,
it is usually possible to raise at least
75 chicks out of each 100 chicks
hatched and the commonly accepted
ﬁgure for a wellemanaged plant is
that one pullet may be expected to
reach maturity from each ﬁve eggs
set.

It has been frequently stated by
observers as well as by great num-
bers of poultry keepers that brood-
ing the chicks is the most diﬁicult
part of the poultry keeping project
on the farm. The Indiana report
laid much of the blame for low per-
centage of chicks raised there to
poor equipment for brooding, lack
of experience on the part of the
poultry keeper, and disease among
chicks. Probably the most import-
ant of these items is poor brooding
equipment ; For some reasons the
development of brooding devices did
not keep pace with the discoveries
and inventions in methods of hatch-
ing chicks, and it is only in recent
years that really satisfactory brood-
ing equipment has been devised for
the use of poultrymen who hatch
chicks by artiﬁcal heat or Who
handle them in large numbers.

Not Ideal for Small Flocks

At the ‘present time the stove
brooder, operated in a movable col— .
ony house, provides almost the ideal
brooding conditions for the ﬂock
owner who can hatch his chicks in
units of from 2030 to 500, but not
many‘farms are supplied with this
kind of brooding equipment. Not
so much attention has been paid to
the development of breeders for
small ﬂocks and evéi today there is
no well - recognized, satisfactory
method of brooding chicks in ﬂocks

of 50 to 200. The__development in
electrical brooders offers ‘much
promise for poultry keepers who

have access to electric current as
relatively inexpensive electric hovers
canrbe constructed or purchased for
brooding the small ﬂocks of chicks.
However, the majority of- farm
ﬂocks do not and will not "have ac-

' cogs soon to‘electric current, sothe
_, development of .these. breeders are

dry interest to farm 'poultry

 

 

,Very satisfactory results have been

\.

the safest broader for small ﬂocks of
chicks. As many as 25 chicks can
be safely intrusted to one good-sized
‘hen providing she has a gOod, roomy
coop so she can handle h’er ﬂock. For
best results in using hen‘ brooders,
however, the hen should be conﬁned
and the coop be ,arranged so the

chicks can go in and out as desided'

during fair weather.

POULTRY as A SIDE LINE

HERE are few side lines open to
dairy or mixed farming that of-
fer the same certainty of satis-

factory proﬁt as does poultry. Small
ﬂocks of poultry are‘ almost an in-
tegral part of all farms. e refer
particularly to poultry as a worth-
while side line looked after with the
same intelligent interest that a good
dairy farmer bestows on his cows.
On many such farms in the Paciﬁc
northwest, ﬂocks of 100 and 200
hens are adding many dollars to the
incomes of their owners. The farm-
er who is acquainted with the best
and modern poultry knowledge re-
ceives satisfactory returns from his
poultry. The fundamentals of pro-
ﬁtable poultry keeping may be brief-
ly summarized as follows: A breed
to lay a strain of pullets hatched
out early in the spring and well
grown on free range; all culls re-,
moved from the ﬂock: liberal feed-
ing and correct housing. These are
requirements.that are simple and
easy to understand. Howe-'er, the
personal equation counts for much
as it does with high producing cows,
for poultry, to be successful,
mands regular attention.

 

FEATHER POLLING

We have a ﬂock of white Wyan-

dotte hens and they pull the feathers
out of one another” and eat the
feathers. Do you know anything
that will stop them? R. T. M.,
Ulby, Michigan.
—Feather pulling is a canabalistic
habit frequently caused by close con-
ﬁnement or faulty nutrition. Very
often one or two individuals in the
ﬂock are specializing in this prac-
tice although it may become quite
general if the ring leaders are not
segregated once this trouble is in
evidence.

This practice usually stops after
the birds are out-on free range and
therefore we would suggest inducing
as much out door exercise as pos-
sible. The ration should contain at
least ten per cent meat scrap or
tankage, or some other form of ani—
mal protein.
mon source of protein for laying
stock but frequently we ﬁnd it nec—
essary to supplement it with addi-
tional protein in the dry mash which
should be before the birds at all
times.

In. order to break the birds of this
habit I would suggest providing a
mash of 30 per cent bran, and 20
per cent middlings, corn meal, and'
ground oats, and 10 per cent meat
scrap plus about 1 per cent salt.

obtained by hanging a beef liver
suspended off the ﬂoor so that the
birds may all pick at it. Glandular
organs of this kind, usually contain
a dietary essential known as Fat
Soluble A that is frequently lacking
in the ration. In addition, the liver
is extremely palatable and should
cause the birds to forget the prac—
tice of feather pulling.-——~E. C. Fore-
man, Associate Professor of Poultry
Husbandry, M. A. C. ‘

RAISING GEESE
HOW should geese be mated?
Should goose eggs be treated differ-
ently than hen eggs? ‘What is a
good feed for goslings?————M. G. Ber—
rien County, Mich.

——-A gander may be mated with from
one.to four geese, but pair or trio
matings usually give the best results.
Wherever possible provide free
range, for the geese. Collect the
eggs daily and keep in a cool place.
It kept for some time they may be
stored in loose bran. Usually the
ﬁrst eggs are set under hens, while
the last ones that the. goose lays
may be hatched either under hens
or .under the goose if the latter be-
comes too broody. Removing the
eggs Iran: the nest from which the
goose. is laying is , advised. It not

Three gallons of skimmed milk or
buttermilk daily will take the place
of‘ meat scraps. For successful egg
production milk or some form of
lean meat should be supplied in
every ration. Barley or wheat may
be used instead of oats. Barley
meal or ground oats may be sub-

CAN HATCH EGGS IN INCUBATOR ,
Please tell me whether duck eggs
can be hatched in an incubator or
not? :Can you give me full informa-
tion how to do it and how to raise
young ducks? — H. S., Croswell,
Mich. -
—Duck eggs can be successfully
batched in incubators providing that
a high moisture content is supplied.
It is usually a good practice to take
a whick broom and a dish of warm
water each day after the fourteenth
day and spray a small quantity of
the water on the eggs. One of the
members of the Department is pre-
paring a bulletin on the subject of
duck raising and pending publica-
tion of this bulletin We would refer
you to the Department of Agricult-
ure, Washington, D. C., for their lit-
erature on this subject.—E. C. Fore—

MITE INFECTION UNDER SKIN

We killed a hen which We were
going to Cook. While cutting it up
we noticed little yellowish white
spots on the ﬂesh just under the
skin. When we scraped on the ﬂesh
the would come off. They only
seemed to be on the breast and und-
er the wings and neck. Do you
think this is the starting of lice?
This hen was fat and had been lay—
ing and she looked healthy enough.
—Mrs. R. W., Owosso, Mich.

_—The condition encOuntered is un-

doubtedly connective— tissues mite,

scientiﬁcally termed Laminosioptes .
cysti—cila. It is a mite infection oc—

curring on, in or under the skin and
is not injurious to health. Birds

which have the parasite on the skin

sometimes show scaly formations.

It may be possible that general

measures to prevent mites from bar-

b’oring in the coop would keep it

from spreading. Spraying the coops

with kerosene emulsion and treating

the birds with sulphur oint might

be a. means of preventation. The

condition, however, is not serious——

H. J. Stafseth, Res. Assoc. in Bacter—

iology, ‘M. A. ‘C.

 

TROUBLE NOT ENTIRELY DUE
«- TO LICE -

I have 100 baby chicks a week old,
Anconas. They seem to‘ have some-
thing pe‘culiar ailing them. Seven
have died, others ailing. Yester—
day I found one dumping, SO I pick-
ed up several and examined them
carefully for lice using a little mie-

roscope but could not ﬁnd any but
found one on my hand with the mic-
roscope that I couldn’t see at all
with my eyes. They get seemingly
almost raw around the head and
neck and across the back. The
feathers seem eaten right off and al-
so the skin. I put vaseline on but
they seem to go faster thez- ever aft:
,erwards. I have them with two old
hens, ﬁne mothers which we have
dusted about three times with lice.

-—It is very difﬁcult to diagnose the‘
trouble that you are having in your
ﬂock of 100 Anconas. If lice are
present they will usually be found
either below the wings or vent, or
near the top of the head.' The use
of sodium ﬂuoride‘is generally rec-
ommended and has giyen excellent .
results. It, can be purchaSed in
powdered form and requires only a

CHICK ACTS QUEER. '

We have a baby chick that was
hatched one night and taken away
from the hen the following noon
with nine other chicks. This pertic-
ular chick acted very queer when I
took it off. It would go through the,
funniest motions with its head and
whole body, then it would drop its
head and act lifeless. Then it
would rise up and go through the
same motions over and over. . What
causes this and what is a good rem—
edy?——L. R. V., Delton, Mich.

——This is usually classiﬁed by hatch-
ery men under the head of “Cripples
and Fools.” In incubation work a
large number of chicks are found
whose actions coincide exactly with
those described.
membrane became glued or attached
to the head during incubation and
with the result that the chick be-
came crippled and had an attack of
brain fever.—E. C. Foreman, Associ-
ate Professor» of Poultry Husbandry,
M. A. C.

PACKING DOWN EGGS

Will you advise the correct way

to pack down eggs using water
glass? I put some down according
to directions which were published
some time ago. I started packing
the fore part of August. How long
after eggs are placed in the solution
before it becomes solid?———A. E., Ap—
plegate.
——A certain amount of vaporation
will take place but water glass
should never become solid. It is us—
ually a good practice to keep the
surface of the liquid at least two
inches above the eggs at all times.
This is easily accomplished by ad-
ding water from time to time. Some-
times eggs are inclined to ﬂoat and
a rock or other Weight is used to
keep the eggs below the surface.—
George F. Davis, Instructor in Poult—
ry Husbandry, M. A. C.

THE VALUE OF OATS
OST people underestimate the
value of oats for poultry of all
ages as a valuable and all—
around feed. During the war we
found that it would largely take the
place of wheat in the ration if prop—
erly handled in relation to other in-
gredients. It is one of the best all-
around feeds for laying hens and it
is impossible to observe injurious ef—
fects from a, liberal use in the ration

at all.
In fact, we have found that it is

men who are loredlted- with .doing

it in large quantities, some keeping

.it before the hens all the time in

hoppers. Fed in sprouted form, it
unquestionably is an economical and

_ beneﬁcial feed, increasing the much—

desired bulky element in the ration,
supplying the necessary green food
elements, and cheapcning consider-
‘ably the cost of the ration as com—
pared against the more highly con-
centrated, and, therefore more ex-
pensive grains.

For growing chicks, from the baby
chick on up to the matured pullet it
is, with the single exception of wheat
and wheat derivatives, the most val-
uable grain we have. Rolled or
steel cut oats for baby chicks will
make them grow faster than any-
thing else. Of course something
else has to be fed in connection with
the oats, but where it is the' base of
the ration it will produce chicks su-
perior to any chicks ever raised'on
any other ration.

As soon as the chicks are two
months old, one can commence to
feed whole oats, provided they have
developed properly. Soak the oats
half a-day and feed at noon with the
water squeezed out, in pans, all the
chicks will eat in 10 minutes. Aft-
er the ﬁrst week of soaking, this pro-
cess can be discontinued and the
oats fed in dry form in hoppers, al-
lowing the growing chicks all they
will eat. You will be surprised and
gratiﬁed at the unusual growth they
make and 'at the real economy in
feed cost.

It is a mistake to make. corn or
corn meal the base of the growing
chick ration, as so many people do.
It is the cause of many of the evils
experienced in raising chicks. It
often is the direct cause of leg weak—
ness because it tends to fatten faster
than the muscles develop or are
strengthened by exercise, and it oft—
ten is the direct cause of digestive
troubles, apoplexy in chicks, and of
other troubles. Wet corn meal, such~
as so many people fed chicks, is an
abomination. The fact that you
have “gotten by” in the past on such
feeding is not becauseof feeding it
but in spite of it. The real compar-
ison will be to try oats as a base and
compare results with the former
method.

Oats is always considerably cheap—
er on the market than most other
grain feeds—certainly such grain
feeds as are susceptible of use in the
poultry ration. The element of cost
often half or more of the cost of
corn, and the superior results obtain-
ed from its use, should commend the
grain to every poultry feeder. 1f
oats will “make kids husky,” as one
manufacturer of rolled oats states,
and as many parents know to be true
isn’t it fair to say that they will also
make chicks husky? We know
they will.

 

TAKE ’EM FISHIN’ \

WENT visitin’ today, had a real

good time an’ we all talked of

sev’ral things—specially of the
number of young fellers ’at was
goin' to town to work in factories
Where wages seem high. Mebbe
they look high to some of the boys
——mebbe some of ’em’s never had
any wages——just had What, dad has
seen ﬁt to hand out to ’em. You
know there’s lots of dads in this
country ’at thinks ’bout all the boys
need is work shirts, shoes an’ a pair
of overalls. With this outﬁt the
boys are all set for work.

If they want a dollar or two dad
sez, "My gosh boy, I give you a. dol-
lar last month, what'd you do with
that?”

Well, now you know our boys are
kinder wakin' up if they don’t do it
naturally, why don’t you see there’s
always a little girl lookin’ ’round at
tells ’em to spruce up a little an’ be
somebody. An’ the boys are fallin’
for it an' they’re gettin’ tired of
workin’ for jest bread an' butter,
pants an' shirts an’ a. shoe or two
now an’ then, an’ they’re quittin'
the farm an’ the ol'.ma.n jest natch-

they wuz when we were boys. We
thought a few clothes an’ sim’lar
wuz more’n enough—it ain’t that
way now. Boys on the farm want
a chance, they want to git out an’
spread themselves an’ so they go to
the city where life looks altogether
lovely—’cause they learn their mis-
take eventually but for the time
be’n’ it looks ﬁne.

My little boy who happened to be
in the gatherin’ today, said, “Well
daddy, why don’t dads take their
boys ﬁshin’ once in a while?”

Well now do you know that kinda
set me thinkin’ an’ every since I’ve
been home I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout
it. Why don’t dad take ’em ﬁshin’
once in a while? Yes folks, farmer
friends why don’t you do that?
Don’t you know that the best way
to keep a boy on the farm is to make
that farm a lively place? Folks, if
our boys go to the city to work its
our fault—we haven’t given ’em ‘a
chance, have we?

We must get the habit. The boys
an’ girls must have a chance—mebbe
they were born an’ raised on a. farm,
had cows milk, hens eggs and real
bread an’ butter—mebbe solid fried
cakes an' coﬁee—no matter they all
want somethin’ different. My dear
farmer friends, just give the boys an'
girls an even share—they’ll stay by
if the chance is given ’em.——Cord-

Remarkable Experience of Mrs: N
C. M. Bradshaw in Prevent .
ing White Diarrhea

 

The following letter will no doubt
be of utmc st interest to poultry rais—
ers V'hO have had serious losses from
White Diarrhea. We will let Mrs.
Bradshaw tell of her experience in
her owu words:

“Gentlemen: I see reports of so
many losing their little chicks with
White Diarrhea, so thought I would
tell my experience. I used tolose a
great many from this cause, tried
many remedies and was about dis-
couraged. As a last resort I sent to
the Walker Remedy 00., Dept. 680.
Waterloo, Iowa, for their Walko
White Diarrhea Remedy. I used two
50c packages, raised 300 White
Wyandottes and never lost one or
had-one sick after giving the medi—
cine and my chickens are larger and
healthier than ever béfore. I have.
found this company thoroughly re-
liable and always get the remedy by
return mail—Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw,
Beaconsﬁeld, Iowa.”

Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by the
Bacillus Bacterium Pullorum. This
germ is transmitted to the baby chick
through the yolk of the newly hatch-
ed egg. Readers are warned to be-
ware of White Diarrhea. Don’t wait
until it kills half your chicks. Take
the “stitch in time that saves nine."
Remember, there is scarcely a hatch
Without some infected chicks. Don’t
let these few infect your entire ﬂock.
Prevent it. Give Walko ii all drink—
ing water for the ﬁrst two weeks and
you won’t lose one chick where you
lost hundreds before. These letters
prove it:

 

Never Lost a Single Chick
Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek.
Ind., writes: “I have lost my share of
chicks from White Diarrhea. Finally
I sent for two packages of Walko. I

raised over 500 chicks and I never
lost a single chick from White Diarrhea. Walko
not only prevents White Diarrhea, but it gives the
chicks strength and Vigor; they develop quicker
and feather earlier."

Never Lost One After First Dose

Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shcnnandoah,
Iowa, writes: “My ﬁrst incubator
a few days old, be—
gan to die by the dos us with White

Diarrhea. I tried different remedies
and was about discouraged with the chicken busi-

ness. Finally, I sent to the \Vzllkcr Remedy (‘o.,
\Vuterioo, Iowa. for a box of their \Vzilko \Vhite
Diarrhea Remedy. It's just the only thing for
this terrible disease. We raised 700 thrifty.

healthy chicks and never lost a. single chick after
the first dose."

You Run No Risk

We will send Walko White Diar-
rhea Remedy entirely at our risk—-
postage prepaid—so you can see for.
yourself what a wonder—working
remedy it is for White Diarrhea in
baby chicks. So you can prove—as
thousands have proven—that it will
stop your losses and double, treble,

even quadruple your proﬁts. Send
50c for a box of Walko, or $1.00 for extra
large box—give it in all drinking water for the
ﬁrst two weeks and watch results. You’ll ﬁnd
you won’t lose one. chick where you lost hundreds
before. It’s a postive fact. We guarantee it. The
Leavitt & Johnson National Bank, the oldest and
strongest bank in Waterloo, Iowa. stands back of
this guarantee. You run no risk. If you don't
ﬁnd it the greatest‘ little chick saver you ever
used, your money Will be instantly refunded.

WOOL .

The midwestern wool trade re-
mains on about a steady basis, with
trading rather light on account of.
smallness of stocks. Reports from
the east continue favorable and
western dispatches indicate that
while buying has been slowed up by
the fact that growers are determined
to get top or even higher prices, the
tone of trade there is still good, with
prospects that the growers may suc-
ceed, according to the Chicago Daily
Drovers’ Journal.

Some dealers are less optimistic
as to the future trend, but the mark-
et as a whole presents a ﬁrm ap-
pearance.‘

Quotations on midwestern or so-
called “native” wools in large lots—
such prices as are obtained by the
farmers’ pools—are as follows (1'. o.
b. Chicago): Fine and medium
staple, 53@54c; 1,4,, blood staple, 52-
@54c; 1,4, blood clothing, 49@50c;
% blood wools, 52@53c; 1,4 blood,
50@51c; low 1,4 blood, 40@42c;
braid, 30@32c. Western (“terri-
tory”) wools sell, Chicago basis, at
about these same prices for corres-
ponding grades.

ending April 20, 1923.

FEED: Mill feed markets dull
and declining. Demand slow with
buyers holding off for lower prices.
Withdrawal of recent low quotations
by shipping interest for a few im-
portant feeds and change to higher
basis also affected demand. Gluten
feed quoted $1 higher, oﬁerings
good, demand fair. Hominy feed
ﬁrm, offerings light, demand fair.
Demand for oil meals very light,
prices steady. Good inquiry for
transit feeds but deferre deliveries
quoted at sharp discounts. Receipts
and supplies generally ample. Quot-

Week of April 29
URING the early part of the
week beginning April 29th we
expect {Michigan temperatures

to average cool. About the ﬁrst of

May, however, temperatures will be

rising and will continue above nor-

mal for are balance of the week.
We are expecting the rainfall to
be plentiful during Tuesday and

Wednesday with high winds general

and gales on the Great Lakes.

-While there may be indications of
storminess or even a. storm itself
about Friday of this week we believe
the average conditions from the 2nd
to the 6th will be fair and cool.

No decided fall in the temperature

in Michigan is expected this week

but colder conditions will manifest
themselves next week.

Week of May 6

With the average weather condi-
tions for the week of May 6th prom-
ising to be cold and dry we believe
germination and growing vegetation
will be retarded. The week offers
splendid opportunities for the farm-
er.to rush his ﬁeld work such as
planting early potatoes and seeding
his barley and oats. The farmer of
the southern counties of Michigan
can get his corn ﬁelds in shape. If
the winds do not destroy the blos-
soms, pollination should be good
among cherry and plum trees since
the bees areexpected to be active
during this period.

 

Temperatures will be rising at be- ‘

ginning of the week with showers
and high winds during middle days.
Following the storm the winds will
shift to west and north and wax
strong at the same time inducing
fair weather for the last days of
the .week with cold temperatures.

MICHIGAN AYRSHIRE BREED-
ERS PLAN BIG PICNIC

MICHIGAN Ayrshire men are
planning the biggest meeting
in the breed’s history in the
state for May ﬁfth. On that date
they are the guests of Mr. William
H. Murphy at his farm‘at Birming-
ham. Features of the day’s pro-
gram are the inspection of Mr.
Murphy’s dairy buildings and his
prize winning herd of Red and
Whites and an address by Paul O.
Reymann of Wheeling, West Virgin—
ia, president of the National Ayr—
shire Breeders’ Association. Breed—
ers from all sections of Michigan
will attend and take part in the
plans being made for the Ayrshire’s
further advancement in the state.
President W. T. Shuttleworth, Ypsi—
lanti, and Secretary Edward C. W.
Roberts, of Fennville, ofﬁcers of the
Michigan Ayrshire Club will have
charge of the day’s program.
Ayrshires have. made notable pro—
gress in ichigan during the past
eighteen nths, particularly since
the organiza 'on of the State Asso-
ciation in January 1921. The rapid—
ly increasing ‘popularity of the
Scottish dairy brléed is resulting in
the founding of many new herds.
One of these is at the Michigan Agri-
cultural College. Professor 0. E.
Reed last summer selected ﬁve ani-
mals which average as high in
quality as any college herd in Amer-
ica. He bought these animals in
the rough at a moderate price and
hasdeveloped and ﬁtted them so that
their milk ﬂow is proving them‘ to.
be among the leading producers of
the breed. There are now one hund—
red Ayrshire men in the’ state. That
they are doing worth while things is
well shown by l the interest being
taken by the National Association
and, that, the president is coming
to take W3 in
