The powerful hold of the
Hupmobile upon the
American public- is not
due to any one or two
outstanding features.

TheHupmobileis unique ,

today in that it combines
within itself, in balanced'
measure, all the advan-
tages which are worth
while in a motor car,
and which every motor
car buyer always hopes
to get when he buys.

In the Hupmobile you
obtain, in major degree,

dashing appearance.
brilliant performance.
pewer, strength and stur-
diness, extreme endur-
ance, very low operating
cost and long life,

The Hupmobile is un-
common, furthermore,
because it can be pur-
chased at a compara-
tively low price, and
re-sold again—when
the time for a new Hup-
mobile ﬁnally does ar-
rive—at a comparatively
high price.

MASON DAIRYMEN START
G

TESTIN

ASON dairymen organized the
third Ingham County Cow
Testing Association, at a meet-
ing held in Mason week before last.
Twenty-six of the leading dalrymen
of the Mason vicinity joined in the

association.

A tester is to be employed who
will spend one day a month on one
farm of each member, obtalnlng
milk weights, feed: weights, and u
butter tut test on each individual
It is expected that these ree-
ords will form a. basis or judgment
as to the producing quality of the
cow, and" that the undesirable and
unproﬁtable cow may be eliminated
from the herds. Better feeding
methods will be pructiceds it is
claimed, through the efforts of the
association.

Mason-Ingham Cow Testing Asso-
ciation is the tortieth association to
be organized in the state. Ten new
organizations are expected to organ-
136 in the near future which will
bring the Michigan total to ﬁfty.

PLAN DRIVE ON MILK DEALERS
NOT LICENSED
ROSECUTION of all milk dealers
in Michigan who have not. pro-
cured their state license is on
the program of the dairy department
of the state department of agricul-
ture, according an announcement of
T. H. Broughton, head of the dairy
It is the hope of the de-
partment that all 2,700 dealers will
be reached before the end of the
ﬁscal year June 30.

Most of the large dealers in the
state have obtained the licenses nec—
essary, according to Mr. Broughton,
but there are a number of one-man
wagons for which licenses have not
been issued, and it is to these that
the department is turning its atten—
tion. The erring dairymen ﬁrst
is given an opportunity to comply
with the law, and prosecution is the
last resort. Seventeen prosecutions
were started during April, according
to the records turned into the allies
here; In the same time but two
prosecutions were started for water-

' lng milk.

The state also-revoked the license
of one tester, who was detected giv-

emu buying stations.

HE settlement of _many issues
during the closing hours of the
session brought .a ﬁtting «slim
to” what one salon termed “the
most nerve—racking legislative ses-
sion” in his mom. The Gover-
rsnur’s minis weight tax. the im-
mune tax, and the proposed new

method of distributing the primary ~-

‘schuol imprest fund were leading
measures the fate of which was not
until nearly the ﬁnal
hour of radiournment.

Much of the jam in the legislative
machinery was caused by failure oi!
the Senate and the House to reach

‘ an agreement over the various items

in the more important appropriation
bills. «As a. rule the Sen-ate was
more liberal than the House, and de-
sired 'la‘rger appropriations for the

1 Unlvrerstty of Michigan, the Michigan
_ Agricultural College and the general
, bundling program tor the other state

utilOns.
As in the closing hours of the

‘ many previous sessions, it was a. re-
“'gretable tact that many of the most ‘

in
tire

taut issues were not settled tan--
upon their merits, log-rolling

' and. ”vote-«swapping seemed to deter-

mine We fate of most of the big bills

f ‘ that came up in the clo’Sing :h.ours

Reforestation Promoted

'Measures to promote the orderly
development of the northern part of
the state have received ﬁnal legisla-
tive approval. The Senate concurred
unarimously in the action of the
House in the passing of the Meggi—
somSargant bill to provide a defer-
red tax on forest growth.

Under the terms of this bill, the

owner of any timber lands, or lands
chieﬂy valuable for the growth of
'timber within this state, may apply

to the Commissioner of Agriculture

2 _.to have such property set apart for
the growth of timber. If, after inves-

Ligation, the'application is approved

.by the Commissmner of Agriculture,

the land shall thereafter be taxed at
the rate of 5 cents per acre annually.

After a. 25 year period the timber
would be subject to cutting. under
general control of the Commissioner
who would guard
At this
time the owner or the «timber would

. be assessed sis-tax equal to 2.5 per cent

Thene is a provision in the bill
which would prevent it from work-

; in: a hardship on any local taxing
», unit. Section 6 .of the bill provides
' that “The State administrative board
{ may, in its discretion, advance to the
townships in which any forest re-

move lands lie, such sums each year

. "out of the general fund of the state
= as will compensate them for the

amount of taxes which would be col-

'loctiblo~ from such forest reserve

lands. had they not been registered."

There was a general feeling that
the annual general property tax was
not adopted for the production of
longvtime crops, such as forest pro—
ducts, and that the passage of this
bill would go a long war toward the
most economical "utilization of _ large
areas of northern Michigan, and
would do more tovpromote forest de.

in paternalistic tree planting by the

BITTERNESS BLASTS HOPES FOR CONSTRUCTIVE
\ LEGISLATION
HEN the smoke of battle has cleared away from the 52nd

session of the Mlchigmi State Legislature, legislative ob-
servers will probably agree that if it really has been a “do

nothing” Legislature, as has been so frequently charged,

it is

not because the members. did not come there with constructive
ideas, but because the bitterness which developed over the gas
tax, weight tax and the proposed reapportziomnent of the repre-
sentative and senatorial districts made constructive cooperation

utterly impossible.

There seems to be a general sentiment that,

if the Governor had adopted a little different attitude in his deal-

ings. with. the Legislature,

all this unpleasantness and failure of

constructive accomplishment, might have been averted.
In somefar off Utopia there may some time .come such a pure
form of representative government that issues will be decided

3nd settled solely on their merits, but that day is not yet.

Under

present condisions every action seems to be a compromise and
especially during the closing days of the session vote swapping
and log rolling seems to settle the fate of most of the bills of

ma ior importance.

The squabble over the :gas tax and the weight tax is a case

in point.

After the House had attempted to pass the gas tax

over like Goueramr’s veto and had displayed a rather cool atti-

tude towards the proposed weight tax for motor vehicles,

as ~

favored by Governor Grocsbeck, the Senate began to hold up all

important House bills.

-When the House refused to be brow-

beaten and by a vote of 56 to 41 defeated the weight tax, all hope
that the Senate would pass the major House measures was gone.
Big bills which were the victims of this unfortunate condition
included the. Byrum state income tax and the Moggison bill to
provide .a more. just and desirable system of distributing the

primary school interest fund.

hear] y all

of the tu-x 191011111

,measurcs passed by the House were put to sleep in the Senate
as a rcbukc to the House 1'01 not falling in line behind the \\ eight

tax.

111 view of this situation the question manually .11 uses

“\Vhy

should the House pay such a high price to kill the m ight tax?"
The answer is rather complicated, but one need not look far to -

ﬁnd at least some of the 1mtsons.
ﬁnal debate in speaking in opposition to the bill said.

Rep. Charles 13111111: in the
“This 11 1s

pu-vail in Michigan. ”

-' a question of whether or not rcprcscntathc gmmnmcnt shall

The representatives felt that the weight tax was *lwing forced
on them by the Governor after he had arbitrarily vetoed the gas

tax which the people seemed to favor strongly.

They also objected

to the provisions of the bill which placed the administration of
the funds under the control of the State Administrative Board.
This they regarded as being another effort to build up a strong
political machine for the present Ministration.

 

 

Development Bureau of the State
Department of Agriculture.

The provisions of this measure are
entirely optional and no one need
have his land certiﬁed unless he de-
sires. The owners of worthless land
will probably not care to have their
holdings subjected to inspection and
certiﬁcation by the State Commis-
sioner of Agriculture. The evident
purpose of the bill is to protect those
desiring to purchase Michigan land
from deceptive practices of unscrup-
ulous land sharks.

M. A. C. Gets Stadium
gThe proposal to loan money from
the general fund of the state to ﬁn-
‘ance the building of.a stadium at the
Michigan Agricultural College, as
favored by Gov Groesbemck has pass.-
ed both branches of the legislature.

The bill provides for the loan of
$160,000 from the_State to the Col-
lege for the construction of the init~
ial'unit' of an athletic stadium. This
loan must be repaid in ten equal an-
nual installments beginning in 1924.
As far as possible this refund is to be
made out of receipts of athletic c011-
tests to be held in the proposed stad-

. 111m.

. Defocﬂves to be Sterilized
One 05 the most sensational der
bates of the closing hours of the Ses-
sion . ntened around ﬁnal pasSage
throu the House of Senator Sligh‘s

  

  
    

to authorize the sterilization of
tall t1

ment for many cases and that it in-
creased both the physical and mental
welfare of the individual to “make
good” in his local community with
the minimum amount of supervision.
Rep. Baxter of Grand Rapids, who
led the ﬁght for this measure in the
House, declared that the enactment
of this bill would allow the state of-
ﬁcials to release at least one hund—
red inmates from the institutions fer
the feeble minded at Lapeer and that
10 percent of thOSe now coming to
this institution could be left at large
in their home communities if this
bill were passed. The great ﬁnanci-
al saving to the state which would
result from the adoption of such a
policy was also pointed out by Rep.
Baxter. .
Discrimination Bill Passes

Senator Bernie L.
prevent unlawful discrimination in
the purchase of potatoes was amend—
ed by the House to include grain and
beans and was passed by them 85 to
3. This bill is intended to protect
small local private and co-operative
elemtors and marketing associations
from the unfair competition practic—
ed by some old~line dealers. It has
been a common practice for a» few
unscrupulous dealers to temporarily
pay more than the market price in

towns where a-small elevator is try- .

ing to get a start in order to freeze
out competition. These dealers have

been able to pay this higher price
,_ or, 11. short vlnie in a teilm localities
not: asst the av aid 11 ch 3 ‘

Case’s bill to .

’erty for local purposes was postpoxi

  

less than the market price in local!-
ties where they had no competition.
Senator Case's bill was drafted by
the Michigan State Farm Bureau
and had the active support not only
of that organization, but also of the
Michigan Elevator Exchange and the
Michigan Potato Growers Exchange.
Drain Laws Codiﬁed

One of the constructive measures
enacted during the closing hours‘of
the session was a revisiOn and codi-
ﬁcation of all the drain laws of the
.state. This bill repeals a multiplic-
ity of separate and somewhat discon-
nected acts and provides a simple
and workable general drain law for
Michigan. There had been no codi-
ﬁcation of the drain laws for 26
years and conditions were such that
a Philadelphia lawyer was required
to look up the law regarding any
drainage project. '

After being involved in one of the
most knotty parlimentary tangles
which has occurred this session, the
general game law, the most interest-
ing feature of which is the protec-
tion afforded to quail until 1930, was
passed without opposition by a vote"
of 94 to 0. Rep. Rowe who spon-
sored this bill has fought hard for
its passage for several months, but
because of some of the other feat-
ures of the bill it has had a very
stormy time in getting through and
was nearly strangled to death by a
parliamentary tangle of red tape.

Tax Exmnption Banned

Aftm prolonged debate the House
passed by a vote of 75 to 16 Senator
Slighs bill to 10110111 act N0. 88, of
the public acts of 1909. which ex-.
cmpts from taxation bonds issued by
any county, township, (-ity, village or
school district. The House has al—

ready passed the bill which provide

an annual specific tax of 3 mills 011
such securities, but unless the Sen-
ate also passes this measure, muni—
cipal securities will be taxed on the
ad valorem basis. If the Senate does
not pass the three mill tax, probably
the Governor will veto the Sligh bill.

Senator Co'ndon’s bill to control
the possession and sale and ‘use of
pistols, revolvers, and guns and to
place their sale under strict govern—

‘mental regulation was killed by the

House committee of the whole with-
out a record vote.
Senate Dodges Tax Issues

The Senate has displayed a dispOs- ;

ition not to pass any of the import-w

ant tax revision schemes which have
been proposed and sanctioned by the
House. Rep. Byrum’s state income
tax bill has never emerged from the
Senate Taxation committee. Geo. C.

VVatson’s bill to limit the tax on real in

and personal property for state pur— ‘

poses to an increase of not more
than 2 per cent a year was defeated
in the Senate by a vote of 12 to 17.
This measure appeared

speech in favor of the bill he said

that real estate in Michigan is now

bearing practically 80 per cent of the .

tax burden although it represents; V

   

but 33 per cent of the total wealth o

SENATOR JAMES oouzaus

OSSIBILITIES for re—foresting
the cutover Michigan pine lands
will be investigated this sum-

mer by the Special committee of the
Senate which is considering a
national reforestation policy, Sena—
tor ’James Couzens announces.

Mr. Couzens, a member, of this
committee, has returned from a two
weeks’ trip through lumber regions
adjacent to the Cult of Mexico.
where the situation is similar to that
in Michigan. He is enthusiastic
about the advantages, both industri—
ally and in tax revenue, which ef—
fective re-forestation would produce.
.' Mr. Couzens suggests that the
Michigan Legislature should consid-

areas being reforested.
,How They Do It
The fundamental of the Louisiana
"law is the reducing of taxes on lands
"during the unproductive period of
re-forestation, the revenue being re-
imbursed to the state later by a tax
'of 10 per cent or more on the ulti—
,,mate lumber yield. In return afor
this concession, land owners bind
themselves not to cut any growing
timber until the trees have reached
a speciﬁed size, and then to limit
their cut so that' the re—forestation
process will be continued perman—
ently. '

Originally these Louisiana re—for—
estation areas Were valued for taxa-
. tion at $1 per acre, but this valua—
tion now has been increased to $3.
That is to say, if the state tax rate
is three mills to the dollar, the an-
nual tax on the land is 9 cents per
acre.

The one serious weakness of
Louisiana law, as developed in the
Senate committee hearings, is its
failure to‘ provide for dividing the
tax revenue between the state and
the counties. The law speciﬁes that
the contracts between the , land
owners and the state must be ap-
proved by the county boards of
supervisors, but fails to allow the
counties any part of the revenue.

The counties, in effect, are asked
'to strike the re~forestation lands
from their tax rolls, without any
compensatory return. The natural
result has been that the country
authorities have been slow to ap—
prove re—forestation contracts.

Mr.,Couzens believes the tax re—
turn to the state during the re—
forestation process should be limited
to a sufﬁcient fund to maintain an
adequate conservation system, to
provide ﬁre protection and such
supervision as is necessary to insure
5-:compliance with the contract. The
V'remaintfer of the current revenue he
Would turn over to the counties, the
state, however, to receive a liberal
division of the tax yield when» the

Cites Beneﬁts

The- beneﬁts from refor-
‘estation in a state‘like Mich—
igan, which now is a large
importer of lumber, are
easy to estimate, Mr. Couz-
ens declared.

“Southern producers told
me privately that they start
out by placing a value of
their timber at $10 per 1000
feet, based on their advant—
age in shipping cost, as
against the Paciﬁc Coast re—

gion, which now has the
larger part of the virgln
forests in the U n i t e (1

States,” he said. “That is to
say, the lumber growers of Louisi-
ana, Florida, and Mississippi can sell
their lumber in the North and East
on an. equality of price with the
Westerners, and take an extra proﬁt
of $10 per thousand, due to differ-
ence in freight rates.

“On lumber grown in the Lower
Peninsula of Michigan, and consum—
ed in Detroit and other State cities;
of course the advantage in shipping
costs would be even greater. It does
not require an expert economist to
ﬁgure, on this basis, the great proﬁt
to be derived‘ from re—foresting the
barren sand wasts of Northern Mich~
igan, to producers, consuming indus-
tries and the Government treasuries
alike.

Revenue Divcrtcd

Louisiana, the lumbermen early pro—
posed what they termed a “severance
tax” of one-half of one per cent, on

all property removed from their cut-
over areas, including second growth --

timber, oil and ﬁsh. The speciﬁc
purpose of the tax was to provide a
conservation department to guard
against ﬁres, and to' foster the work.

“The tax, however, proved so pro—

ﬁtable that the State Legislature in-- '"'

creased it to 2 per cent, and diverted
the revenues thus derived to other
purposes. At the present time this
“severance tax” is providing approxi-
mately $2,500,000 annually, most of
which is being used for a state uni—
versity.

“This action obviously was unfair
to the lumberman, and illustrates
the great obstacle to re-forestation.

It is sufﬁciently difﬁcult, at best, t0x

induce men to invest their money in
an enterprise which will not show a
proﬁt for a period ranging from 20
to 70 years. When you add to this
uncertainty about exactions of the
state in taxation during this unpro-
ductive period, it is certain no. per—
son but a philanthropist would stake
his money on the proposition.

The First Essential

“The ﬁrst. essential in promoting
re—forestation by private enterprise,
obviously is to let the land owner
know exactly what the tax will be
during the entire period of re-forest—
ation. Lumbermen who appeared
before our committee stated that
they did not object to a yield tax of

10 per cent, or even higher, if they ”

were assured of nominal taxation
while .the timber is growing.

ern lumber producers are taking up

The Reforestation Possibilities ”in Michigan
' By SENATOR JAMES couzsns

(Written especially for The Business Farmer)

THE evidence secured by the Sen-are taking such of the land that had

ate Committee on Reforesta-
tion, which has recently return—

\ ed from a ten days’ trip in the Gulf

States, where they held numerous
hearings, indicates that the public
are generally alive to the necessity
‘of prompt action in promoting the
growth of trees. Public interest in
this is greater than 'most of us sup—
posed, and a much greater interest
is being manifested every day than
the average person believes, andthis
in itself is a most encouraging con—
‘dition. This does not mean, how-
ever, that there is not a great deal
more to be done in an educational
way to point out not only the neces:
sity' but the advantages to be gained
from reforesting our cut-over lands
not adaptable for agriculture, and
possibly for other lands best adapt-
ed for tree-growing.

The two outstanding things to be
done to encourage private reforest—-
ation are ﬁre protection and-stabill
ization of taxes. It has been quite
clearly developed that 75% of the
difﬁculties will be removed when
proper ﬁre protection is assured, and
then there will be nothing standing
in the way, when each state adopts
a taxation plan, that will enable the
owuers of timber lands to reforest.
Many states are giving earnest con-
sideration to these matters, and
some of them have adopted plans
which are most encouraging. and
from which all states can learn. The
Committee witnessed several activi-
ties based on the plan of perpetuat-
ing lumber operations. These were
based primarily in protecting the
cut-over lands, which were showing
re—growth, as .well as the virgin tim—

been denuded previously and plant-

ing pine trees. Lands that they are

cutting, they are limiting their cuts
to trees over 12 inches in diameter, '

and where. the stand is larger than-
this,’ they are leaving seed trees,
which automatically re-seed the cut-
over land, and where protected from
ﬁre shows remarkable results. They
are establishing large paper mills
so as to eliminate every waste pos—
sible. They are taking their tree-
tops and under—sized part‘ of the tree
and using it for pulp purposes. They
are conducting their turpentine op-’
e'rations on a scientiﬁc basis. One
large undertaking at Bogalusa, La...
is conducting an operation which is
planned for an operation in perpet-
uity, and they are satisﬁed that this
can be done. The State of Louisi—
ana is pioneering in assisting in the
protection and growth of timber by
making contracts with private own-
ers on a basis of stabilizing taxes in
the parishes or countries at three
dollars per acres, which with a thirty
mill tax Would be nine cents per acre
per year. The. taxes remain on this
basis for ten, ﬁfteen, or twenty years
and when the,timber is cut off
gross income tax or yield tax is paid
to the State government, which tax
is used in part for ﬁre protection.
Where the land, of course, is more
adaptable for agriculture, this is not
being done. Many farmers, with
large acreage, could, with proﬁt,
grow trees on the least valuable of
their agricultural land. The State
of Michigan, the evidence shows is
doing admirable work in the conser-
vation line, but they could do more
by' studying some of the: plans
adopted by other States. ' .

HOW SHALL FERTILIZER BE
APPLIED FOR POTATOES?
HE question of the- proper
method of applying fertilizer
for potatoes is one on which
there is a considerable difference of
'opinion among potato growers of
All agree that fertilizer
should not come in actual contact
with the seed pieces. Some growers
prefer to broadcast fertilizer before
planting, while others believe that
applicationin the row, either with
an attachment on the planter or by
means of separate machine, is the
proper method. .In the light of
present information, it is not pos-
sible to state deﬁnitely which is the
best method, but it is possible to
point ont the factors that favor one
‘method against another.
\Vhen to Broadcast
An occasional failure to secure re-
sults from fertilizer on potatoes is
an amount. 200 or 300 pounds ‘of
fertilizer per acre spread broad-cast
is a very light applicatiOn for an in-
tensive crop such as potatoes. The
full beneﬁt of the fertilizer is. not 1‘97
ceived until the root system of the
crop has covered the entire area be-
tween the rows. It. has been pretty
deﬁnitely established by experiments
that the fertilizing elements in the
‘soil solution move principally up-
ward and downward in the soil, and
that there is very little movement-
sideways. The young plants there-
fore .can feed only on the plant food
in'their immediate root zone, which
is limited. After the roots have pen-=
etrated the entire area of soil be—
tween the rows and the plants in the
row, all of the fertility in the soil
can be drawn upon. By this time,
however, the Crop has' been pretty _
well established, and the plant food
will not have the same eﬂ‘iciency in
making the crop as it would have,
had it been available to the young
plants in giving them'a quick vigor-
ous start.
ﬁt of the fertilizer is not likely to be'
received, particularly in the case of
the nitrogen or amonia. Practically
no phosphoric acid and potash are
lost from the soil, but nitrogen may
be lost very rapidly in leaching and
drainage. In the broadcast applica—
tion of fertilizer containing a small
amount of nitrogen the amount of
the nitrogen that is actually utilized
by a cultivated crop is open to ques-
tion. The broadcast method" of ap-
plying fertilizer.for potatoes, how-
ever,‘is entirely logical and sound
When fairly large amounts of‘phos-,
phatic or potash fertilizers are ap-
plied to build up the Soil supply.

AGREEMENT ISWBINDING

I am writing, for’ some advice.
Some time ago I enrolled ~with a
school of domestic arts and ”sciences
to learn dressmaking. The applicax
tion blank read as follows: ‘
’ "I send herewith $5 and agree to
pay $5 each and every month here—
after from date of this application
until thave aid $65.” I ﬁnd that
I am not able to make the payments
and I haven’t the time to study the
lessons. I have” written to the school

several times and explained it to;

them, but still they keep writing me
for payments. I have- aid $15 on
the course and have received ﬁve
lessons; Will you kindly advise me
if they can hold me to such an agree-
ment?——-Mrs. S. K., Bangor, Mich.

——-Such an agreement would be
valid, and binding upon both parties.

You could not avoid your liability,

under the contract on the ground

‘ that you haven’t time to study the

lessons.

When you entered into the con-
tract, you agreed to perform certain
acts, and in consideration thereof,
the company should refuse to send
the number of lassons agreed to
send, or should otherwise to perform

their part of the contract, you would'

feel that you had a right to hold
to their contract. Likewise, when
you fail to perform your part of the
contract, they should have a right
to hold you to your agreement; ,
The facts you have given me do
not indicate that there was any
fraud or mistake which would re-
lieve you of your duty to perform,
and if the company has done its part
under the contract, they could com-
pel you to do your part. or to pay
them damages for your failure to
do so. .
The proper time to consider the
nature of your obligation, and
whether or not you will be able to
perform, is before you attach your
signature to the contract. I would
admonish you at all times, to think
carefully before signing your name
to any paper.—Asst. Legal Editor.

NOT RIGHT TO SET TRAPS ON
YOUR LAND

I would like to know through the
columns of your valuable paper if a,
neighbor has a right to place a. dead

my farm, after I have forbidden
him to do so? He claims he can set
traps wherever he likes. Thanking

CHAPTER XXI

OR a minute, perhaps longer,
John Aldous stood staring at
the photograph which he held

in his hand. It was the picture of
Culver Rann—not once did he ques-
tion that fact, and not once did the
though ﬂash . upon him that this
might be only an unusual and start-
ling resemblance. It was assuredly
Culver Rann! The picture dropped
from his hand to the table, and he
went toward the door. His ﬁrst im-
pulse was to go to Joanne. But
when he reached the. door he‘locked’
it, and dropped into a chair, facing
the mirror in his dresser.

The reﬂection of his own face was

a shock to him. If he was pale, the
dust and grime of his ﬁght in the
cavern concealed his pallor. But the
face that stared at him from out"of
the glass was haggard, wildly and al-
most grotesquely haggard, and he
turned fromlit with a grim laugh,
and set'his jaws hard. He returned
to the table, and bit by bit tore the
photograph into thin shreds, and
then piled the shreds on his ash—tray

and his gaunt shoulders shook as" his
voice Came brokenly through his‘ -.
beard. '

“I did it, Johnny; I did it fer you: . ' '

au’ her! When 'I knew what it
would mean for her—I couldn’t,
Johnny, I couldn’t tell her, the truth,
’cause I knew she loved you, an’ you
loved her, an’ it would break her
heart. I though it would be best,
an’ you’d go away together, an’ no—
body would ever know, an’ you’d be

happy. I didn’t lie. I didn’t say
anything. But Johnny—Johnny,
there weren’t no bones in the
grave!” ‘

“My God!” breathed Aldous.

“There were just someclothes,"
went on MacDonald‘huskily, “an’
the watch an’ the ring were On- top.
Johnny, there weren’t nobody ever
buried there, (an’ I’m to blame—-
I’m to blame.” , .

“And you did that for us,” cried
Aldous, and suddenly he reached
over and gripped old Donald’s
hands. “It wasn’t a mistake, Mac.
I thank GOd you kept silent. If you
had told her that the' grave was
empty, that it was a fraud, I don’t
know. what would have happened.

I and burned them.

He opened 3.

And now~She is mine! If she had

window to let out the smoke and”
smell of charring paper, and- the
fresh, cool air of‘ early evening
struck his face. He could look off
through the fading sunshine of the
valley and see the mountain where
Coyote Number Twenty—eight was to
have done its work, and~as helook-
ed he gripped the window-sill so,
ﬁercely that the nails of his ﬁngers
were bent and broken against the
wood. And in his brain the same
words kept repeating themselves
over and over again. Mortimer Fitz
Hugh was not dead. He was alive.
He was Culver Rann. And Joanne
——Joanne was not his wife; she was
still the wife of Mortimer FitzHugll
-—of Culver Rann!
He turned again to the mirror and
there was another look in his face.
It was grim, terribly grim—and
smiling. There was no excitement,
nothing of the passion and half-
madness with which .he had faced
Quade and Rann the night before.
He laughed softly, and his nails dug
as harshly into the palms of his
hands as they had dug into the sills}
of the window.
“You poor, drivelling, cowardly
fool!” he said to his reﬂection:
“And you dare to say—you dare to
think she is not your wife?”
I As if in reply to his words there
came a knock at the door, and from
the hall Blackton called:
“Here’s MacDonald, Aldous.
wants to see you.”
Aldous opened the door and the
old hunter entered.
“If I ain’t ,interruptin’
Johnny ”'
“You’re the one man in the world
I want to see, Mac. No, I’ll take
that back; there’s one other I want-
to see worse than you—~Culven'
Rann.”
The strange look in his face made
old Donald stare.
“Sit down,” he said, drawing two
chairs close to the table. “There’s
something to talk about. It was a.
terribly close shave, wasn't it?”
“An awful close shave, Johnny.
As close a shave as ever was."
Still, as if not quite understand-
ing what‘he saw, old Donald was
staring into John’s face.
”I’m glad it happened,” said Ald-
ous, and his voice becamejsofter.
“She loves me, Mac. It all came out
when we were in there, and thought
we .were going to die. Not ten min-
utes ago the minister was here and
he maﬂeus man and wife."
Words of gladness that sprang to

“Johnny! John Aldous!"
7 Donald MacDonald’s voice came
now like the deep growling roar of a
she-bear, and as he cried the other's
name he sprang to his feet, and his
eyes gleamed in their deep sockets
like raging ﬁres.

“Johnny!”

Aldous rose, and he was smiling.
He nodded. _

“That’s it,” he said. “Mortimer
FitzHugh is Culver Ra'nn!"

“An’——-an’ you know this?”

“Absolutely. Joanne gave me
Mortimer FitzHugh’s photograph to
destroy. I am sorry that I burned
it before you saw it. But there is
no doubt. Mortimer FitzHugh and
Culver Rann are the same man.”

Slowly the old mountaineer turn-
ed to the door. Aldous was ahead
of him, and stood with his hand on
the knob.

“I don’t want you to go yet, Mac.”

 

“I——I’ll see you a little later,"

said Donald clumsily. -
“Donald!" /
“Johnny!”

For a full half minute they looked
steadily into each other’s eyes.
“Only a week, Johnny,” pleaded,
Donald. I’ll be back in a week."
“You mean that you will

“He’ll never come back.

As gently as he might have led

eer back to the chair.

,waas from vigorous

AST year over 1, 000 growers in
.Michigan planted Michigan Cer-

. tiﬁed Seed Potatoes in compari-

son with uncertiﬁed seed. A sum-
Vmary of the results reported by
these men showed that the average

B'increase in yield secured from the

certiﬁed seed was 45 bushels per
acre, and that the quality of the crop
grown from certiﬁed seed was far
superior to that from ordinary seed.

‘ [Many growers reported that approxi-

mately 90 per’cent of the potatoes
prOduced from cerfiﬁed seed Were
, marketable while only 60 per cent
'or so of the crop from uncertiﬁed
seed could be marketed. In all
cases the Certiﬁed seed was planted
under the same conditions and hand-

led in the same manner. as the un-\

certiﬁed seed. The reason for the
better yield of high quality potatoes
from the certiﬁed seed was that it
was free from serious diseases and
high yielding
strains, while the uncertiﬁed seed
was generally infested with disease
and was lacking in vigor.

If growers realized how diseases
such as mosiac, leaf roll, spindling
sprout, etc., reduce the yields and
lower the quality of potatoes, they
would make every effort to plant
nothing but disease free high quality
seed. All of the diseases here nam-
ed live over in the seed potatoes and
produce weak hills and plants of ab-
normal growth which have low
yields of poor quality tubers. It is
quite common for ﬁelds planted with
ordinary seed to show 25 per cent
or more of these diseases.

The planting of certiﬁed seed can
be considered a very good form of
potato crop insurance for this seed
when planted in good soil and grown
under good cultural conditions will
produce a satisfactory crop of good
, quality potatoes. Uncertiﬁed or or—
dinary seed potatoes contain a high
percentage of diseases and may pro—
duce a very poor yield even when»
grown under the best conditions.

The initial cost of poor seed may
be very low but the rr-sult3 it gives
in poor yields and poor quality
makes it too costly for any potato
grower to plant. There is no reason
this year for planting poor seed
when high quality certiﬁed seed is
available -at very low cost.

. In 1922 Michigan growars bought
only 22 per cent of , the certiﬁed
seed that was oﬂered for sale in
\Michigan. Seventy- -eight per cent of
the seed was sold outside of the
state. Pennsylvania last year took
52 cars of Michigan Certiﬁed Seed.
This seed gave the Pennsylvania
‘planters 50 per cent greater yields
than’ did the.uncertiﬁed seed with
which it was tested. This season
Pennsylvania has already bought
over 150 cars of certiﬁed see-:1 from
Michigan.

Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland,
Virginia, Missouri, New Jersey, Con-
necticut and West Virginia are other
states that are buying considerable

  

quantities of Michigan seed potatoes.

‘t1f1ed-Séed for Better (Potato Crop

Growers Fail to Real( e Amount of Money They Lose Through
, ‘ Planting Diseased Seed Potatoes

" , . By H. C:_MOORE .
(Assistant Extension Specialist in Potatoes, M. A. 0.),

Certiﬁed potatoes are shipped‘in
bags containing 150 pounds. Each
bag is .sealed.with a lead and wire
seal to which is attached the oﬂicial
green tag of. the Michigan Potato
Producers’ Association. Upon re-
ceipt of the potatoes they should be
emptied from the sack and should
be put in a cool well ventilated place
where they will not be exposed to
ﬁnest.

During warm weather seed pota-
toes are often injured by "being left
in sacks for several days. If they
are spread out on the cellar or barn

g ﬂoor they will not become heated

and their sprouts will ‘not be in-
jured.

There has been noted a tendency
among growers to be too economical
with certiﬁed seed. Since‘ the cost
of the certiﬁed seed is a little great-
er than that of ordinary seed many

of them are apt to cut the seed so

that it will cover as large an acreage
as possible. Certiﬁed seed should
be cut so that each “set” weighs ap-
proximately 2 ounces. Each seed
piece should contain one or two
strong eyes. If the sets are cut
square or “blocky” they will handle
well in the planter and will not dry
out quickly in the soil. One should
ﬁgure on planting 15 bushels or
more of seed to the acre; I

During the past few months sev-
eral car loads of certiﬁed seed have
been, bought by Michigan farmers.
In some of the counties the farmers
have placed their orders for certi-
ﬁed seed with their County Farm
Bureau, Local Cooperative Associa—
tions of local dealers and have thus
been able to get the potatoes,on the
basis of car load rates and have
made considerable saving in freight
charges.

Those interested in securing certi-
ﬁed seed potatoes should write to

Producers’ Association, East Lan-

sing, Michigan.

or the Church. Christianity began
when John exclaimed “'Behold, the

slit of the" world.” But the church
' as spiritually organized and set
apart, began in the "upper room.” at
Pentecost.‘ Here the disciples wait—
ed, prayed, and expected until; they
wercvenduedwith a spiritual revela-
use»: the promised power.

This empowering was unite serv-'

ice; mo witnessing: “mud! they be-
gan to speak with other toughest”

Even so, our horizon is toﬁbeextend-

mica. folks are straddle”. if truth

Bud: when Christ said. “I m the-
Trutha,” He dsidhot refer, in the ﬁrst
intention, to what was written-«in
text books, taught in the schools, or
worked out in the labocatories. The
opinions of‘ men may and- do have
some: truth, but Christ meant origin--

mission; and destiny of men, about,
this little and the next; even. the truth
about God.

“Then we’ll leave at dawn. I’ll.

come to you to—night in the coulee,

and we’ll make our ﬁnal plans. My,

brain is a little muddled now, and
I’ve got to clear it, and make myself
presentable before supper. We must
not let ‘Joanne know. She must
suspect nothing—absolutely noth-
ing.” '

“Nothing,” repeated MacDonald
as he went to the door. .

There he paused and, hesitating
for a moment, leaned close t'o Aldous
and said in a low voice:

“Johnny, I’ve been— wondering
Why the grave were empty. I’ve
been wondering why. there weren’t
somebody’S'bones there just to give
it the look it should ’a' had, an’ Why
the clothes were laid out so nicely
with the watch an’ the ring on top!”

With that he was gone, and A1d~'

ous closed and relocked the door.
He was amazed at his own com-
posure as he washed himself and
proceeded to dress for supper. What
had happened had stunned him at
ﬁrst, had even terriﬁed him for a
few appalling moments. ,Now he
was superbly ' self-possessed. He
asked himself questions and answ-
ered them with a promptness which

left no room for doubt in his mind

as. to What his actions, should be.
One fact he accepted as absolute:
Joanne belonged to him. She was
his wife. He regarded her as that
even though Mortimer FitzHugh
was alive. In the eyes of both God
and man FitzHugh no longer had a
claim upon her. This man, who was
known as Culver Rann, was worse
than Quade, a scoundrel of the ﬁrst
water, a procurer, a blackmailer,
even a murderer—though he had
thus far succeeded in evading the

rather loose and poorly working ten-

tacles of mountain law.

Not for an instant did he think of
Joanne as Culver Rann's wife. She
was his wife. It was merely a tech-
nicality of the lay—a technicality
that Joanne might break with her
little ﬁngerhthat had risen now be-
tween them and happiness. And it
was this that he knew was the moun-
tain in his ,path, for he was certain
that Joanne would not break that
last link of bondage. She would
know, with Mortimer FitzHugh alive,
that the pledge between them in the
“coyote,” and the marriage cere-
mo’ny in the room below, meant
nothing. Legally, she was no more
to him now than she was yesterday,
or the day before. And she would
leave him, even if it destroyed her,
heart and soul. He was sure of
that. For years she had suffered
her heart to be ground out of her
because of the “bit of madness” that
wasin her, because of that earlier
tragedy in her life—and her promise,
her pledge to her father, her God,
and herself. Without arguing a
possible change in her because of her
love for him John Aldous accepted
these things. He believed that if he
{101d Joanne the truth he would lose

er.

His determination not to tell her,
to keep from her the secret of the
grave and the fact that Mortimer
FitzHugh was alive, grew eronger in
him with. each breath that ”he drew.
He believed that it Was the right
thing to do, that it was the honor-
able and the only‘thing to do. Now

  

that the ﬁrst shock ,was over, he did'

not feel that he had lost Joanne,

of a strange and delightful embar-
rassment, ﬂushing his face as the
door opened, she stood before him.
In her face, too, was a telltale riot,
of colour Which the deep tan partly
concealed in his own.

“1—1 am a little late, am I not,
Joanne?” he asked.

“You are, sir. If you have taken

“You mustn’t, John!” she expost-

“Only once,” he pleaded.

 

 

“If you will promise—just once ~

A moment later she gasped:
“Five times! John Aldous, I Will

never believe you again as long as'

I live!”

They went down to the Blackton’s‘,
and Peggy and Paul, who were busy'
over some grownig geraniums in the
dining—room window, faced about
with a forced and incongruous ap—
pearance of total oblivion to every-
thing that had happened. It lasted
less than ten seconds. Joanne’s
lips quivered. Aldous saw two little
dimples at the corners, of her mouth
ﬁghting to keep themselves o’ut‘of
sight—\and then he looked at Peggy.
Blackton could stand it no longer,
and grinned broa'dly. -

“For goodness sake go to it,

Peggy!” he laughed. “If you don’t‘
you’ll explode!”
‘ ‘ The next moment Peggy and

Joanne were in each other’s arms,
and the
hands.

“We know just how you feel,”
Blackton tried to explain. “We felt
just like you do, only We had to face
tw‘enty people instead of two. And
you’re not hungry. I’ll wager that.
I’ll bet you don’t feel like swallow-
ing a mouthful. It had that pecul-
iar effect on us, didn’t it, Peggy?” ’

“And I—I almost choked myself,”
gurgled Peggy as they took their
places at the table. “There really
did'seem to be something thick. in
my throat, Joanne, dear. I cough-
ed and coughed and coughed before
all those people until I wanted to die
right-there! And I’m wondering—-”

“If I’m going to choke, too?"
smiled Joanne. “Indeed not, Peggy.
“I’m as hungry as a bear!”

And now she did look glorious and
self-possessed to Aldous as she sat.
opposite him at that small round
table, which was just ﬁtted for four.
He told her so when the meal was
ﬁnished, and they were following
the Blacktonsinto the ’front room.
Blackton had evidently been care-

fully drilled along the li ie of a cer-

tain scheme which Peggy had form-
ed, for in spite of a negative nod
from her , which signiﬁed that he
was to wait a while, he pulled out
his watch, and said: , ,

“It isn’t at alltsurprising if you

A moment’. uneasiness came into
her eyes as she saw how seriously he
was speaking. ,

“You don’t mean, John—there’s
about Quade-——and Culver

“No, no—nothing like that,” he
laughed, as though amused at the
[absurdity of her question. “Old

1 *w. Joanne, I’ve given my word
to old Donald. He has lived in my
promise. I’ve got to keep that

promise—I must go into the North
with him. ”

She had draw one of his hands
into her lap and was fondling it with
her oWn soft palm and ﬁngers.

“Of course, you must, John. I
love old Donald.”

“And I must go—soon,” he added.

“It is only fair to him that you
should, ” she agreed.

“He—he is determined We shall
go in the morning,” he ﬁnished,
keeping his eyes from her.

For a moment Joanne did not
answer. Her ﬁngers interweaved
with his, her warm little palm strok-
ed the rough back of his hand. Then
she said, very softly:

“And why do you think that will
I will be
ready!" -

‘lYou!!’

Her eyes were on him, full, and
dark, and glowing, and in them were
both love and laughter.

“You dear silly John!” she laugh-
ed “Why don’ t you come right out
and tell me to stay at home, instead
of——of———‘ beating round the b11sh’——

-as Peggy Blackton says? Only you
,’don t know what a terrible little
person you v’e got, John. You real-

ly don’.t So you needn’t say any
more We’ll start in the morning—-
and I am going with you!”

In a ﬂash John Aldous saw his
whole scheme shaking on its found-
'ation.

“It’s impOssiblee—utterly impos-
sible!” he gasped. ,
' “And why utterly?” she asked,

‘- bending her head so that her soft
- hair touched his face and lips. “John

have you already forgotten what we

i» said in that terrible cavern—We told

ourselves we would have done if we
had lived? We were going adVent-
uring, weren’t we? And we are not
dead—but alive. And this\ will be
a glorious trip! Why, John, don’t
‘you see, don’ t you understand? It
will be out honeymoon trip!”

“It will be a long, rough journey,”
he argued. “It will be hard—hard
for a woman.”

With a little laugh, Joanne sprang

up and stood before him in a glow
of light, tall, and slim, and splendid,
and there was a sparkle of beautiful
deﬁance and a little of triumph in
her eyes. as she looked down on him.

“And it will be dangerous, too?
You are going to tell me that?”

She came to him and rumpled up
his hair, and turned his face up so
that she could look into his eyes.

“Is 'it worse than fever, and fam—
ine, and deep swamps, and crawling
jungles?” she asked. “Are you go—
ing to encounter worse things than
beasts, and poisonous serpents, and
murderous savages—even hunger
and thirst, John? For many years

. we dared those together—my fath-

er and I. Are these great, big,
\beautiful mountains more treacher-
. ous than those Ceylon jungles from
which you ran away—even you,
John? Are they more terrible to
live in than the Great African Des—
ert? Are your bears worse, than
tigers, your wolves more terrible
than lions? ’And if, through years
and years, I faced those things with
my father, do you suppose that I
. want to be left behind now, and by
my hquand?”

So sweet and wonderful was the ‘

sound of that name as it came softly
from her lips, that in his joy he for—
got the part he was playing, and

him—for he saved us from the

“I am going, Job 1.’

“If. we went alone we would be
able to return Very soon.’

”I am going.’

“And some of the mountains—it
is impossible for a woman to climb
them!”

“Then I will let you carry me up
them, John. You are so strong——"

He groaned hopelessly

“Joanne, won’t you stay with the

Blacktons, to please me?”

“No.1 don’t care to please you.

Her ﬁngers were stroking his
cheek. - -

“John?"

“Yes.”

“Father taught me to shoot, and
as we get better acquainted on our
honeymoon trip I’ll tell you about
some of my hunting adventures. I
don’t like to shoot wild things, be-
cause I love them too- well. But I
can shoot. And I want a gun!”

“Not a toy—but a real gun,” she
continued. “A gun like yours. And
then, if by any chance we should
have trouble—with Culver Rann—”

She felt him start, and her hands
pressed harder against his face.

“Now I know,” she whispered. “I

guessed it all along. You told me
that Culver Rann and the others
were after the gold. They’ve gone
——and their going isn’t quite ‘skip—
ping the country’ as you meant me to
understand it, John Aldous! So
please let’s not argue and more. If
we do we may quarrel, and that
would be terrible. I’m going. And
I will be ready in the morning. And
I want a gun. And I. want you to be
nice to me, and‘I want it to be our
honeymoon—even if it is going to be
exciting!”

And with that she put her lips to
his, and his last argument was gone.

Two hours later when he went to
the coulee, he was like one who had
come out of a strange and disturbing
and altogether glorious dream. He
had told Joanne and the Blacktons
that it was necessary for him to be
with MacDonald that night. Joanne’ s
good— night kiss was still warm on
his lips, the loving touch of her
hands still trembled on his face, and
the sweet perfume of her hair was
in his nostrils. He was drunk with
the immeasurable happiness that
had come to him, every ﬁbre in him
was aquiver with it—and yet, poss—
essed of his great joy, he was cons-
cious of a fear; a fear that was new

.and growing, and which made him

glad when he came at last to the
little ﬁre in the coulee.

He did not tell MacDonald the
cause of this fear at ﬁrst. He told
the story of Mortimer FitzHugh and
Joanne, leaving no part of it unbar-
ed, until he could see Donold Mac—
Donald’s gaunt hands clenching in
the ﬁrelight, and his cavernous eyes
ﬂaming darkly through the gloom.
Then he told - what had happened
when the Blacktons went to town,
and when he had ﬁnished, and rose
despairingly beside the ﬁre, Donald

'rose, too, and his voice boomed in a

sort of ecstasy.

“My Jane would ha’ done like—
wise,” he cried in triumph. “She
would that, Johnny-she would!”

“But this is different!” groaned
Aldous.
Mac? What can I do? Don’t you
see how impossible it is! Mac, Mac
——She isn’t my wife—not entirely,
not absolutely, not in the last and
vital sense of being a wife by law!
If she knew the truth, she wouldn’t
consider herself my wife; she would
leave me. For that reason I can’t
take her. I can’t. Think what it
would mean!”

Old Donald had come close to his
side, and at the look in the gray
mountaineer‘s face John Aldous
paused. Slowly Donald laid his
hands on his shoulders.

."Joh'nny," he said gently,

“Good heaven, Donald. You mean

AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK GOOD

VASHINGTON, May 5, 1923.—The gen-
eral agricultural outlook now is prob-
ably the best it has been 'in three years

says the United States Department of Agri-
culture in its regular monthly review issued
to-day. The domestic market for farm pro-
ducts is reported to have improved measur-
ably as a result of increased prosperity in
urban communities, but ‘that the. prospective
foreign demand for American farm products
is not as good this year as it was a year ago.

“When labor is fully employed and Wages
high,” the department says, “farm products
ﬁnd a rcadier sale and better prices. This
is what has helped to sustain the price of
hogs this spring" likewise lambs, cattle,
dairy products, eggs, and certain veget-
ables.”

 

 

, V THE SllME OLD STORY .

. F course it had to happen! They had been

in session so long, and tried to do so much!

But Governor Groesbeck vetoed «the gasoline
tax bill, (which had passed both houses with
enough votes to prove that the legislature know
what they wanted? and of course, any measure
which he would sponsor must be assassinated

, and promptly buried by the “bitter—enders.”

And that was exactly what did happen in Lan-

sing last Saturday.

The House voted down the Smith Automobile

Weight Tax Bill by a vote of 56 to 41, and in
so doing they sacriﬁced their own two pct meas-
ures, the Byrum Income Tax and the Meggisozi
Primary School Fund Bill, because everyone
jknew that if the House voted down the Weight
Tax Bill, the Senate would get immediate rc-
wnge in refusing the passage of the two bills}
mentioned.

Now it appears that in order to complete, or
seven to keep abreast of the highway require-
52' meats of the state, it'will be necessary for the
L Governor to call an extra session, and .bcfore

long, because the people of Michigan will de-
mand that the expensive road system now com-
pleted be maintained, and that some of the un-
,msnpleted _u:nits in the state trunk lines be
' ﬁlled in. ..

The Business Farmer is still convinced that
the most proﬁtable of public improvements is
the building of good roads, and that the main—
tenance of these roads is important, but we are
equally convinced that some method of taxation
must be arrived at," which will make those who
use the roads pay the greater part oi? their op-
kcsp, whether this should .come from a gasoline

- link. .as it does in a great many states, or from ‘-
an increased weight tax,.‘is in our op ion of
' looser importance than that we tolerate no costly
ammunition in our good roads program. ,
’5‘ Whether we must have a gasoline tax or a
' ,‘Weight tax to.make‘ the automobile owner pay
no greater part of the good roads tax. the fact
mains that the people of Michigan will not

verifying what I have been predicting all along,-
_. that the balance will soon be restoredgbe‘tween

the cost of what alarmer has to buy and the
price he will mceive for his products. , And they
indicate, ‘also, that the earning season is to be
one of great prosperity for the young men who
are willing to remain on the [arm andycan pro--
duce within their own labor resources; granting,
of course, that they grow crops that are in de-
mand here in Michigan.” . , -
Probably no man in America enjoys a higher
reputation than Dr. Friday as an economist, and
after all, an economist is only a mph-ct of future
conditions, based on past experience. Michigan
is indeed fortunate to have such a man at the

- head of its agricultural college, and whether or

not the average farmer has in the past believed
" in watching foreign markets and crop conditions
throughout the World, he is doing so now after
the disastrou5\expericnce which pitched him
headlong into the basement of farm produce
prices the past two years. .
The encouraging sign is, that agricultural pro-

ducts are showing an increase in export, but

this does not mean that the farmer in Michigan
should grow any crop which depends onvthe ex-
port market for its sale. .

Michigan is rapidly developing as an industrial
state, as Dr. Friday pointed out in a recent
article which we reprinted completely in The
Business Farmer. There is no longer any need
for our farmers trying to compete as wheat
growers with Argentine and the Ukraine.

There is a market, in Detroit and other ‘in-
dustrial centers of Michigan which are growing
at an unprecedented rate, for a great proportion
of the agricultural products of the state. Al-
ready a milk shortage in the Detroit area is
promised should we have a dry summer.

The hopeful thing about all oi? this is, that
the farmers of no state in America, are in a
better position for making money out of their
farming operations in this year, 1923,. «than‘aro
the farmers of our own state}

necessary guarantees for the future prosper-

ity of the state of Michigan, can 'be secured
through reforestation.

Fortunately, the Michigan Legislature. 'just bo—
fore closing its hectic session, joined hands in
unanimously passing the Moggisonwﬁau'gant Bin,
which provides for a deferred tax on forest
growth . _

Under the terms of this. bill the owner of any
timber land, or lands chiefly valuable for the
growth of timber, within this state, may apply
to the Commissioner of Agriculture to have such
property set apart nor the growth of timber. If,
after investigation his application is approved
by the Commissioner of Agriculture the land
shall thereafter be taxed at the rate of 5 cents
per acre annually. .

After a twenty-«ﬁve year period, the timber
would be subject to cutting, under general con-
trol of the Commissioner of Agriculture, who
would guard against wasteful methods. .At this
time the owner of the timber would be assessed
a tax equal to 25% of the stumpage value of the
timber cut, to be paid into the state treasury.
There is a provision in the bill 'w‘hich would pre-
vent it from working a hardship on any local
unit, as it provides that “The State Administra-
tive Board may, in its discretion, advance to
the township in which any fm'est preserve ands
lie, a sum each year out or the generail fund of
the state, as will compensate them for the .m‘onnt
of taxes which would be collectible from any
such forest moses-vs lands had they not been
registered.”

"It— is seldom ﬁrst a. legislative body can be
made to Ecol: so no ahead as twenty-ﬁve, years, *
and Michigan -m taken a tor-ward step which
will place it among the leaders or conservation
in the United m - .

FAIR” CARNWALS ARE‘ EXPENSIYE ‘ .
UT in Oklahoma the Agricultural College“.
made a survey all that state which showed ’.
that 41 County fairs had carnivals as part7 ;
of their attractions last fall. V'I‘hese carnivals «'j
furnish the complete midway,'a whole street of, «
attractions on the Michigan Sate Fair midway .
pany and travelas a unit. These 41 carnivals-
took $114,800 out of the counties in which the
fairs were held. .- ' '
There are no available ﬁgures showing the
number of these amusements held in Michigan
or the amount which they take out of the coun- '
try, but we would venture the statement that
more than this amount was collected by the
attractions on the Michigan [State Fair Midway
alone last year. . '_ \
We do not hope to see the midway abandoned
on our state or county fair grounds for the very _ «~
obvious reason that they contribute largely to ; ,
the support of the fair, and it will take a. daring ‘
«fair management to eliminate this or any other _
proﬁt producing attraction. . . ‘ ’ ‘
The responsibility rests with the management ”
Every feature of every show or
attraction on the midway should be investigated ~\ "
prior-to and continually during the falls- lsya per—
sonal representative of the management. _ ' ‘ .- 3?

'Too often everything appears all right for the ‘
ﬁrst day or two, but if the crowds are not Come

been appeased, the barker passes along the word, '
“the sky is the limit” and soon the sign hangs

THEE SAVING IN STANDARDIZATION

HE automobile manufacturers of America '
have taught the industrial world a lesson
which is so far-reaching in its importance

to all users of machinery that it cannot‘easi'ly
be measured. . 4 -,
The automobile manufacturer proved that by
standardizing» every part down to the smallest
bolt 'or screen’ the machine could be manufactured
at half the cost when: slaudwrdizatim was not
practiced. The automobile today is an outstand-
ing example of what standardization has done.
Compare, if you please, what a thousand dollars
would buy ten years ago and you Will ﬁnd that
your dellar today, while it will purchase only a. ,z " 7;
fraction of what it would in .1913 in clothing, . ‘*
shoes, or whatnot, will buy much greater value .-
in an automobile or truck. ' . , §

just made the announcement «that for the past
two or three "years they have been diligently

semen TO PAY FOR: W?

Dear Mr. Slocum: Do you know
-- anything about —C.‘oal Mining
Company, at , Michigan? An
. agent. of theirs came here with one
of our friends who claimed he had
been to the mine and: that they were
allrfght, and wanted us to sign. a
note for stock in the company. The
' agent claimed we would never have
*to pay a. cent out as the company was
paying 2% a month dividends, so my
husband signed a note for 100
shares, $1,000, but I did not sign
the note. We. have 40 acres. We
‘ have a Ioint deed of the place, Now
they claim the agent was. a. fraud,

and that he should not have premier.

ed' the dividends. We have witnesses
that he said they were paying divi-
dends, also that we would not have
to pay any money out, that the divi-
dends would pay the note and inter-
est. That Was. the 19th of January.

-We have not; received any shares. ‘

Is there any, way of getting the notes
. back, as I think they are a fraud?
Will you please investigate? Please
let me know by private letter.—Mrs.
P. ~
—1' 11:11:37th my reader that she
had best place this claim in ' the
hands of a local attorney immediate-
ly, Manse it will ,bmmoney well in-
vested to havelegal protection from
. such sharks. What a pity it is that
people will swallow such exaggerat-
ed statements as the foregoing.
, Does ft not stand to reason that if
a coupon could pay .273, per month.
or even 1% per. month, that their
entire stock issue would be taken
up in a new minutes in any money
, mart?“
Many times a. legitimate manufac-
_ turing institution will have to secure
adﬂtional capital for its business
and because there 3 an element of
speculation invoked they must go to
the general public to raise the funds.
Many men have some savings which
they can word to speculate with,
: ,wisely-‘or unwisely, but the minute a

travagant claim, he ought to be
shown the door, and mighty quickly,

MUCH PESSIMISM—SOME TRU
AKING it easier to slide deeper
in debt is of gain to cure a
chronic disease gnawing at the
very vitals of our agriculture, the
cradle of a free people and the very
ﬁrst and last stand for hungry
bellies. No loan or increased acre-
age yield will right the situation.
What is needed is a cure not a dead-
ener.
With agriculture the real giant in
a business sense, and no voice in set-
ting the price upon its products, but

‘a never failing cost plus price upon

his every purchase; bled white by
marketing tolls is a real complicated
disease that will not yield to cocaine
treatment from Washington nor
even Mr. Coue’s suggestions.

With no voice in regulating the
price of their products; forced will-
nilly to supply their wants in a. home
market protected by the highest tar-
iff barriers in the world—thanks to
the farm block support for which the
farm world received a string of glass
beads. The farmers are skinned
from heel to head by the very system
they helped to create with their vote.

The selling price of our products,
in most cases produced by robbing
the soil, contending with frosts,
drowths, cyclones, ﬂoods and bugs is
governed in the main by the selling
price in the world’s competing mark-
et under normal conditions, While
our protected industries and trans-'-
portation interests depend mainly
upon the home market for its fat
picking.

The only hope for brief periods of .

prosperity for our farm world is in
foreign crop failures.

As our farm world must rely up-
on misfortune abroad for its occas—
ional silver lining, one need not
wonder why the farm game is losing
its lure. ‘

How a tree is to remain vigorous
and bear fruit annually while contin-
ually starving its roots is just a little
beyond my think tank.

Some how or another, the word
“square deal” should carry a real
meaning—and a jail sentence even
in legislative halls when using it for
bunk purposes.

Being half Irish, I ,am naturally
an optimist—but not on the land
question, unless I had reason to be-
lieve there was a little oil or mineral
below.

A FOOL TARIFF TO'FOOL
FARMERS
URSERYMAN Harry S. Cooper,
of Wisconsin, says in the last
issue of M. B. F. that practically
all we need is the scum of Europe to
work on our farms and we will all
sit in the shade as farmers and just
pick our teeth and count our money.
Now, let’s look at the actual re-
sults of the present fool tariff, for
and against the farmer. Hardly ten
days ago the experts. of the Farm
B u r e a u Investigation Committee
gave us in the Country Gentleman
the exact facts. .
On account of,the tariff it costs
the farmers of America a round
million dollars a day for excess cost
of manufactured goods, over a year
ago. That means the farmers are
“skinned” over two hundred million
dollars a year on this “hos-trade.”
Now I hear some protection tariff
farmer say, “Oh! that supports the
government,” when the fact is any
high school boy, even with Republi-
can parents, knows a prohibitive tar-
iff, (and our present one is the high-
est and most prohibitive every pass—
ed) never supports our. government
because nearly nothing moves our
way under a prohibitive tariff, which

 

I’M AGIN SIR WM. ORPEN’S
JUDGEMENT

HEN we Speak of woman’s
beauty there’s quite a consid-
erable to think about. Beauty
———real beauty is a thing ’at natur'
gives to a woman jest the same as
she gives to a ﬂower or a bird or

anything ’at’s as natur’ makes it.
Sir William Orpen, great portrait
painter of Paris, sez there’s no beau-
tiful women. “In my twenty—ﬁve
years of painting," he sez, “I've nev-
er seen a perfect model nor a really

‘ pretty woman.’

“Ten or ﬁfteen years ago artists
had but little trouble to select paint-
able arms an’ legs, but now they
have to search for weeks,” he sez.

Well now, I wonder if arms an'
legs is all there is pretty ’bout wo—
man? Why I 'can show 01’ Bill Orp-
en more beautiful women 'an he ever
dreamed of—not ‘only here in my
own little town but in other places
in our good 01’ state. Beauty does
not consist of arms an’ legs entirely
—it’s a thing that can exist without
'em.

I am aware ’at most all the beauty

contests, as shown in the papers dur— .

in' the past two or three years, has

consisted of arms an’ legs—that’s:

’bout all some young women care to
have pictured these days—but

friends the real beauty of women is p '

more 'an that.
When you see the lovelight iln

every time in the street. May-

be some 1 1‘ silvered with age,
some just 11thful glow, never-
theless, i. velight, the moth-

erhood, sh out they are beauti-
Maybe they have arms, maybe
legs, I never stop to think of it—it’s
that something that age can’t take
off nor paint put on ’at makes wo-
men altogether lovely. An’ .I know
so many ’at are jest that way——
Wonderful women an’ beautiful
’cause they live as God intended ’em
to live; living for the purpose they

Were created for an’ doin' the best,

they can at it.

Now maybe Bill Orpen knows a
lot ’bout beauty but in my foolish
judgement he don’t know much
’bout the beauty of women if he

'judges ’em only by their arms an’

legs. An’ yet I’m wonderin' if
some of our young women ain’t
kinder got some of his notions? The
way they’ve been displayin’ legs an'
arms for two or three years, I’m
most decided to think ’at’s ’bout all
they’ ve got. An’ yet I do see many
most beautiful an’ lovely girls, girls
’at dress nicely an’ becomin'ly an'
show the real beauty that lies with-
in. They know they have somethin'
besides arms an’ legs to recommend
'em an’ they really are beautiful in
every sense of the word.

en of Paris sez,. do we women

PRESENT CONDITIONS AND 'A

POSSIBLE (‘2) REMEDY
KNEW there was something that I
missed when I got home; It
comes to me now-,when Ireceiv-
ed your card that it was the M. B. F.
Sure thing, I must have it. Send it
along and send me the bill if I’m in
arrears, it will be paid.
It is a long time since I heard from

you or you from me, so I’ll send you '

a few thoughts on the signs and con-
ditions of the times and the future
outlook, for our people and the
country. We all know that we are in
a peculiar condition—ﬁnancially,
politically, and morally. We can not
all agree upon the different ques-
tions that arise from time to time,
we all know, we are in a precarious

condition and it doesn’t appear to be '

getting better fast, at least not for
the farmers and the producters.
There seem to, be a lot of would be
helpers—but when you come to an-
alize their mode we discover, it is.
only to get us in deeper. They prom-q
ise legislation to help the farmers.

You get that from all of the omce- .

‘ seekers, and the papers from all over

\

the country. But when you come to.
ﬁnd it out the farmers must pay the
bill, in the end, with interest.

The question is: ’What or where is
the trouble?

In the ﬁrst place interest on money q

is too high, and our circulating med-
ium is not'based on actual products
of labor and necessities of life,
which is the only actual basic wealth
of the country.

Lincoln said “this nation can not
exist one half slaves.” We are now
90 per cent or better slaves under the
bonding system, which not only en-
slaves us, but the coming generation,
for they will have to shoulder and to
pay our enormous bonded indebted-
ness. Now this does not only apply
to the farmers, it applies to all our
citizens excepting a few speculators,
ﬁnanciers nd grafters.

Is it possible that the
these United States, the decendants
of those men that liberated this land.
from a foreign yoke, and wrote that
wonderful instrument of Independ-
ance and afterwards, defended that
act by driving from our shores the
oppressors who ”sought to enslave
them. Are we now willing to let a
group of unscrupulous grafters and

proﬁteers enslave us and our child- '

ren? Is it possible that we have so
degenerated that no one among us

dare to stand up for the right of the ,

people? Are there no Washingtons
or Lincolns or any of that liberty-
loving spirit left in the land.

Is it possible we are all willing to '

stand by and see the people robbed of
the fruits of their labors and prod—
ucts of this wonderful country by a
few speculators and ﬁnanciers, the
majority of whom, do not even spend
their time or money here at home?
As a rule they travel abroad, live
among royalty in foreign lands. They'
spend our money with lavish hand in
Paris, Rome, London and Monte
Carlo. Sure, they have their agents
and lobyists here. They keep well
posted and their business interests
are well looked after and protected.

We have been looking back at the
monarchial form 61 government and
congratulating ourselves on the fact

that we are ’living under a’ govern-

ment by the people and for the peo-

ple, when in reality we are at that --

~ 1 Now let us look, I’ll give you a few

not my thoughts along remedial lines

in it there maybe some repetitions,

- but some of it surely needs repeat-
' ing, so that our people may get post-
' - ed‘ on the actual existing conditions.
First, let us consider a few facts
, . ' relating to our commercial and ﬁnan-
' .cial business—of the nation.
,1ng my 50 years of business exper-
x~ience I found that interest on money

Dur-

was the slickest and easiest way of
getting it. All that is necessary is to

nget good security and then you can

sit right on you haunches and
make a ﬁne living and plenty of

’ money, Without producing a single

‘ are $1,017,500,‘000. .
different states, bonds, and indebted- .

thing, except some trouble for the
other fellow—for if you are a good
money lender and collector your
game is to get all you can, and if you
get the right fellows in the proper
shape it is your business to proﬁt by
their misfortunes. Now that doesn’t
only apply to the individual money
lender, that is the game of'all our
big ﬁnancial concerns. ‘ Our ﬁnanc-

ial resources are controled by so

very few, that it is entirely within
their power to withhold and depress
credit. In other words, to make

. money dear to the people that must

have it to do their business with.

. This brings me to a little investi-
gation as to the total, indebtedness of
this nation.

Our debt on July lst, 1921, was
$23,427,772,447, or a per capita of
$216.75. Now our interest bearing
debt on that date was $23,738,900,-
084. The annual interest charges
Next comes the

*ness which amounts to $1,167,204,—
.809. Now, these are ourstate and
national indebtedness and does not
include municipalities, such as
counties, townships, highways,
schools, cities, corporation 'bonds,
etc. Next take into consideration
the real estate mortgages, private
and individual obligations, which
will amount to many times the Na—
tional and state indebtedness above
referred to. Naturally, we might
commence to wonder where the
money is going to come from
to pay even the interest, let alone the
principle. It must all come out of
the producer, in some shape. Now,

as near as I have been able to ﬁnd'

out by investigations, we have in act-
ual money $1.78 for each $1,000 of
our actual debt.
surely the thing is commencing to
look like a crazy—quilt. If we were
forclosed and sold out, atour assess-
ed valuation and proceeds pro rated
among the creditors, that is to say,
if we took all the money in the land,
our creditors could only get $1.78
on every $1,000 that we owe. (That
is on a single standard measuring
our wealth by gold.) Now, with
such a small amount of actual money
to do such and enormous amount of
business, it has become an easy mat-
ter for a comparatively few to con-
trol the ﬁnances of this nation, and

practically speaking, the entire civil- _'

ized world has been enslaved through
that system. We have become in
bondage to such an extent that we
couldn't pay the interest with actual
cash (gold) for. three months, and
where has this tremendous debt fall-
en? What class of our people must
pay? The answer, of course, is the
producers, and actually we are not
paying it in money, it is on paper.
'It is not a matter of good headwork

L 'and ﬁne bookkeeping by the money

lenders.

' Now you can percieve, the produc-
ers havelgot some tall hustling to do.
I presume that everybody that has
studied upon this subject have seme
ideas of a remedy, I know I have and
of course it is a radical proposition,
but sooner or later some different
system will have to be adopted. We
are not going to get out of this mire
by getting deeper in debt. This

‘hollering about. giving the farmers

‘, more credit'r‘will onlybury him deep-

er. ~-Now, I’ll throw out one or two
suggestions, which in my humble
way of thinking might let us down
alittle easier and not‘break all “the
bones, in the carcass, by a sudden
drop like Germany got, which before

hthat time a few, year; ago was the
t and most prospefrous country.

1.. '

r diam" g’etfthe' chance to tell his

‘ .

could lick the wbrld, and I guess
Roosevelt did and he believed him,
and, of course, ”Down went Mc-
Ginty’ but going‘back to my remedy
for our ills—First, get the'law upon
our statute books, a law strong
enough to make it a criminal of-
fence equal to the crime of highway
robbery to hereafter charge over 3%
per annum on any kind of indebted—
'ness.. Have that law made broad
enough so that by no hook or crook
anyone could hereafter make con-
tracts in any way conﬂicting there-
with. '

Now,.that surely would be royalty
enough for them lord's who have not
produced even a fraction of their
own wealth. Now, you may say,
you wouldn’t get money enough to
do business with at that rate.‘ To
that I will say, establish warehouses
and elevators throughout the lenght
and breadth of this great country,
wherein to store our staple grains
and produce. Issue warehouse der-
tiﬁcates not only for the produce but
for the warehouse if necessary, and
make them a legal tender in the
realm and then let the speculators
play with the gold on the outside it
they want to. Now this is not a
new scheme at all, as a matter of
fact, it is as old as the Bible. In the

time of King Pharoah and Joseph, it

was tried out, and afterwards dur-
ing the time of King Frederick the

'7th of Denmark, along about the

year 1840. It was carried out in a

very successful manner along the
very li‘nes‘alon'e stated. It was the
beginning .of the prosperity of‘that
little country. Now the actual basic
wealth of a nation is its force of lab-

or, its raw material and its. ability to

produce the necessities of life.

Now, why should not our wealth
be based upon those things? But as
it looks to me, our house is built
upon the sand and if we do not look
after it and repair the foundation it
might be washed away.

Now, you think that I, myself, am
in some ﬁnancial difﬁculty, but that
is not the case at all. I have bene-
ﬁted to some extent ﬁnancially by
the existing conditions, but I did not
really understand what the ﬁnal re-
sults would be and from my point of
view it does not look bright. Think
this over and improve upon it and as
Crabtree says, “Let us help one an-
other.” Success to your valuable
paper.—Chas. Kerr.

. KILL GAME AND POULTRY-KILL-

ING BIRDS AND ANIMALS
HIS is the season of the year
when a few days spent in shoot-
. ing game and poultry—killing
birds and animals will repay the ef-
fort later on. If farmers, trappers
and sportsmen would concentrate on
a few bad species, the chief natural
enemies of useful and game birds,
and poultry, would receive such a
set—back that the annual saving
throughout the country would run
into millions of dollars.
Among predatory birds, the crow

(521)- 137“

occupies the worst place. The Board “H

of. Game Commissioners of Bennsyl- ,
vania say that .he “destroysindivid-y;
ual-ly more birds of all kinds, more
birds’ eggs and young poultry than
any other bird that ever ﬂapped a
wing”. The great horned owl is an-
other bird of ’prey, so voracious and
destructive to useful wild life that
he should be killed. This species
destroys annually large numbers of

partridges, pheasants, fur—bearing
animals, rabbits, other game and
poultry. It is especially an enemy of

the quail.

Noxious hawks are another species
which take a heavy toll from the
farms each year. Two of these,
Cooper’s hawk and the sharp-shin-
ned hawk, which might be called a
miniature of Cooper’s hawk, are
ferocious predatory birds of prey,
ranging nearly everywhere through-
out the country and the damage they
do is estimated, in the aggregate, to
exceed that done by nearly all other
birds of prey. Remains of wild birds
and poultry were found in nearly
every stomach of Cooper’s hawk, ex—
amined by the Biological Survey.
When the stomachs of them contain—
ed birds, ranging from quail, morn—

ing cloves and ﬂickers—which are as

large as the sharp-skinned hawk it-
self—down to birds as small as
warblers and chickadees.

During the next few months, game
birds and other beneﬁcial wild birds
will be hatching, and great numbers
of them can be saved if their natural ‘
enemies are checked now.

Ewan-a gloomy day in. February,
1832:, that Dr.ySa»inuel F.‘ Smith,

  
 
  
 
 
   

[sman’hook of songs, came across the
English air “God Save the King."
'He liked the tune.

.. Half an hour later he produced
the words'ef the national hymn of
the United States “America," or, as
some, called it, “My County The of
Thee,” which he ﬁtted to the mel-
ody of “God'pSave the King."

Dr. Smith was born in Boston,
1808, and was a theological student.
It was in his home town, in the old
Park Street Church, that his com-
a -’ position was sung in public for the.
' ﬁrst time. That mas on the Fourth
of July, 1832.

The words of the great song were.
written on a scrap of paper that the
composer picked up from the table

ﬁrst thought to write them. They
are substantially the same today as
when he ﬁrst jotted them down.

Never was “America” recognized
generally as a song that greatly in-
spired patriotism until the opening
of the Civil war. Since that time it
has been accepted by the world as
one of the greatest of national an-
thems.

Dr. Smith died in 1895 at the age
of 87 years.

, OUR GIRLS AND BOYS

Dear Uncle Ned—~Maybe you don't
think I was surprised last Friday
when I came home from school and
foundthe letter from you, saying I
had won the prize. I could hardly
believe it for I had always thought
it was hard to win a. prize. And,
say Uncle, you must have known
that I am taking lessons in dress-
making. I like the scissors ﬁne and
I am sure I will make good use of
them. I will close thanking you for
the scissors. So, good—bye, from your
neice, Katie Prowant, Durand, Mich.
———I am pleased to know that the
prize was appropriate. Must be some
lilttle bird told me what you wanted.

Dear Uncle Ned——-I am writing
this letter to let you know I would
like to join your merry circle, “The
Children’s Hour.” I just adore read-
ing the M. B. F. magazine after my
work is done. I am very interested
in the continued story, “The Hunted
Woman," and can hardly wait for
the next issue of the magazine to
come. I live 2 miles west from the
village of Temperance. Our house
stands on a hill. Near the house is
an old apple orchard. Across the
road is a forest. We gather pussy

.willows there. I live with my moth—
er andolder sister, Mary. I also
have two younger sisters. One is

named “Snowball.” Th 3re are ﬁve
of us children but one is married and
lives in Toledo, Ohio. We have two
horses, one is called Patty and the
r other Jim.‘We also have 3. cows and
‘ a heifer. Thb cows we named Bes-
sie, Jessie and Katie. The heifer’s
nhine is Peggy Jane. My mother
and my older sister and I do the
farm work during the winter and
‘ sum or while my dad works in
town. It is real hard to handle a.
team of horses and do the work a
man is supposed to do, but it is bet-
ter to be industrious and know how
to work than to be lazy. Don’t you
think so Uncle Ned? I will describe
. myself and end this letter to you for
it is getting too long. I am 16 years
old, I was born October 17, 1906, am

' ”The want ads are convenient and

are good ways and poor ways of
writing want ads. Only a few years
ago, it was a most uncommon thing
to ﬁnd a farm want ad'written with
real advertising skill. . The formula

 

- ‘was about like this: Write, “For
Bulls," and then what you offer, in
the briefest possible words. “For

HOW SHALL FERTILIZER BE
APPLIED FOR POTATOES?
(Continued from Page 4)

ways :of applying fertilizer for pota-
toes. ’The ﬁrst of these is by means
of a fertilizer attachment on the
planter. These attachments have
been carefully designed by most of
the manufacturers, and are the re-
sult of considerable study. Proper-
ly adjusted, they mix the fertilizer
with the soil so that it does not come
into contact with the seed pieces.
The fertilizer attachment is general-
ly placed ahead of the seed hopper

 

 

“in such a manner as to‘apply th
denim befm'e one seed is new .
Generally «adjustment cam be model
to either put the fertilizer below the
seed with '50111 between, or to punt,
the seed in the fertilizer-mixed soil.
The limited experiments that have -
been conducted on the exact method _ .
of placing fertilizer favor distribute
ing it below the seed. The second
method of applying fertilizer in the
row is by means of a separate fertil-
izer distributor before the crop is
planted. This method seems to be '
growing in favor, particularly where
large quantities of fertilizer an us-
ed. A two-row distributor open the
furrows for two rows, applies the ,
fertilizer in about any met-bod desir-‘
ed in the furrow, and mixes the soil
and fertilizer together. 'The rear
coverts leave a mark to follow, in
planting. From the standpoint of
thorough distribution this method
is excellent but it has the disadvant—
age of involving a separate opera-.
tion.

There is a common impression
that fertilizer in the row causes
bunching of the roots. Careful in-
vestigations carried on by both the
Wisconsin and Michigan Experiment
Stations on corn indicate that hill
application of fertilizer on corn does
not cause the bunching of the roots.
While the results of these investiga-
tions cannot be applied deﬁnitely to
potatoes, there is ground to believe
that the objection to row fertiliza-
tion is not so important as it once
seemed.

Cream Separators

RIMROSE Cream Separators have been making a

good name for themselves in all she dai-rying sections

of the country. Their good

granted, but if you will turn in wherever you see the sign
“Primrose Cream Separator Used on This Farm,” and
make inquiries, you will ﬁnd liberal praise for the Prim-
rose. Everywhere is proof of close skimming, long wear,
and easy operation. Read this evidence:

Mr. C. W. Coon, '

McCormick-Deming Dealer, Colesburg, Ia.

Dear Sin—You will no doubt be

the Primrose Cream Separator which you sold me 5 years ago
and is today giving such splendid satisfaction.

Ijust returned from the Colesburg creamery and was told that
my cream test Was the highest in a year’s average over the 300
other patrons bringing their cream to this station. The cream
test averaged 44% during the year 1922 which is 3% higher than

the next highest average test.

At the same time our skimmilk test was less than 1-100 of 1%,
so we were sure that the Primrose was getting all the cream.

The repair expense on this Primrose separator has been only
$1.50. Anybody looking for a close-skimming, economical cream
sepaxator ‘does well to buy a Primrow—ior it’s a machine that

can’t be beat. Yours very truly,

THE PRISONER AND THE
FLOWER

HERE is a beautiful story in
French of a prisoner who be-
came attached to a ﬂower. He
was put in prison by Napoleon be-
cause he was supposed to be an
enemy of the government. Walking
one day in the yard adjoining his
cell, he saw a plant pushing up be-
tween the stones. How it came
there he could not tell. Perhaps
someone carelessly dropped the seed
or perhaps it was blown over the
wall by the wind. Charney (for
that was his name) felt a great in-
terest in the little plant, and spent
much time looking at it. He‘soon
saw some buds. He watched them
as they grew larger and larger, and
longed to see them open. And when
the ﬂowers came at last, he was ﬁll-
ed with joy. They were beautiful

and with a delightful fragrance.

He guarded the plant with great
care from all harm, and one day

.shielded it from a hail—storm by
bending over it as long as the storm
lasted. It was something more than
a pleasure and comfort to him, for"
it taught him some things that he
had never learned before—although

.he was a very wise man. As he
watched the development of the
plant—it taught him more than he
had ever learned from the wise men

, of the earth, it taught him that there
was a God. He felt that no one but
God could make that ﬂower.

~The plant proved of great service
to him, for the Empress Josephine
hearing of his care and love for the
solitary little plant in the prison
yard, and being a great lover of ﬂow-
ers herself, interested herself in his
behalf and persuaded the Emperor
to grant him his freedom.

And when Charney left the prison
he took the plant with him, for he
was 10th to part with the little com-
panion of his prison life, that had
taught him such lessons of wisdom.

 

TIIE GARDEN LETTERS

First. Prize

.WANT to tell you something
about my plans for this season. '
I belong to that class that are
renters and it is necessary to move
now and then. Most landlords have
other things to think of besides set-
ting out shrubbery and building
fences to keep out the chickens, and
tenants often say, “Well, who knows
whether I will be' here another year
80 if the pigs rut up the front yard
and the horses and cows eat off the
shrubbery and ﬂowers, all well and
good.” -
I like pretty things and do enjoy
ﬂowers and it surely doesn’t cost a
penny to keep the pigs and the cows
and horses in the pasture. I want
ﬂowers for my tables and I want my
children to grow up to enjoy nature
and be happy and how else can this
be taught better than working with

clean surroundings. and ﬂowers.
Now for our campaign. we thor-
’ough1y clean the yard. We have so
much shade in front that our ﬂowers ,

are. in the back part of the yard.

Second Prize
OST everyone loves to see a
beautiful lawn in the summer,
and I know of no other place
which can show the more beautiful
and artistic landscape Work than in
the country.

The ﬁrst thing to do is to rake

your lawn thoroughly and free it of
the small branches and other things
which might have blown there dur-
ing the winter, and if you are a lever
of ﬂowers, the following suggestions
might add a wonderful appearance
to your home.

Make a round ﬂower bed in the
middle of the lawn of Canna ﬂowers
use as‘ a border, Forget—me-nots, or
middle sized stones. For a hand—
some and showy display they are un—
rivaled. And if you do not happen
to have permanent hedges, for a
border around your lawn, buy a
small package of Four—o’clocks, they
are a handsome plant, grew very
rapidly if properly taken care of. At
full growth they are about two feet
high, covered all summer with hund—
reds of bright colored, showy, sweet
scented ﬂowers. .

Or, if you do not care for these,
you might buya small package of
Kochra or Summer Cypress known
by either name. ~ This annual plant
grows rapidly, at full growth, two
feet high. The leaves, very slender,
of light pea green, until fall, and
then changing to blood red, either
plants are very beautiful for station-
ary borders.

And for a ﬂower bed in front of
the house, I suggest, sweet peas,
pansys, a ﬂower of the smaller type,
and if you have rose bushes, don’t
forget to trim them this spring, also
the shade trees if any and don’t ne-
glect to keep your lawn cut this sum-
mer.

The next thing is how we are go-
ing to improve our vegetable gard-
ens. Most every farm home should
have a small garden near the house
separately from the one. in the ﬁelds.
I suggest that you have a border of
astors around the garden. This
looks very beautiful, especially when
there is green onions, lettuce, beets,
carrots, etc., vegetables of the small-
er type, and don’t'forget to keep
those horid weeds out of sight. You
not only beautify your garden, but
also your home, having a vase of
astors on your parlor table. At the
most, these ﬂower seeds would not
cost over ﬁfty or sixty cents, and
with a little labor, your home can be

'wonderfully improved. -— Florence

VHOVV TO MAKE STAIR RUG

WILL tell how my sister made a

good stair carpet that has been in

daily use for about thirty years
and is not. worn out yet.

She cut burlap as wide as she
wanted the carpet to be, when it was
hemmed on the sides, then with a big
hook, pull rags through the meshes.
Cut the rags about two inches long
and one half‘inch wide. Pull one
end through half its length, then
miss tWo threads of burlap and pull
the other end of the rag through so
they will be of equal length on the
top side. Have the rags not over
one half inch" apart the closer to-
gether they are the better it will
.Wear. Do not trim the top. My
sister used sacks that had been cov-
ers, for sugar sacks. She used hit
or miss rags. If one wanted to
make it more fancy one could run a
white thread along the side about
three inches wide the length of the
carpet and use one color for that.
It takes a lot of rags to make it.—

Mothers Problems“ ' ’

 

 

- PERSISTENCY PAYS '
ERSISTENCY pays—in bringing
up children ‘as well as in any:
thing else. Many a mother has
started her baby out right in life by ‘
studying every available authority,
on baby care and doing nothing for
her child which would not come und-
er the head of “scientiﬁc care and'
feeding.” She has brought her

‘baby safely through those all im-

portant ﬁrst weeks of his life; she
has seen him safely through his ﬁrst
summer, and breathed a sigh of re-
lief when the ﬁrst set of teeth has
been entirely cut. And then——-oh,
how many times it happens!-—-’she
seems to think._'he has got past the
period when care must be taken with
him. She grows careless about the
food he eats, about the condition of
his stomach and bowels, about his
hours of sleep and the amount of ex-
citement to which he is “treated."
The child now, She thinks, is, in a‘
measure, big enough to take care of
himself!

But no child is big enough, either
at four or ﬁve or six, to take care
of himself, and decide what he
should eat, when he should go to
bed, and how many nights he shall
be up late. To .have as healthy
school—age children as you have fat
babies, there is but one rule to fol-
low, and that is, “keep everlastingly
at it!" Don’t grow lax in the"care
of the older ones! Train them in
right eating habits so that they may
not become one of that vast army of
undernourished children that ﬁll our
public schools! Insist upon the
early bedtime hour that nerves may
not be shattered .by too-little sleep.
Throw windows wide at Inight‘that.
lungs may be ﬁlled with health-giv-
ing, health-keeping oxygen while the
children sleep. ' »-

Even though your children rank
high in physical examinations, even

though you 'know they are exception-

ally well, don’t relax in your efforts

~to maintain that ﬁne standard of

health. Keep at it, at it, at it!

Personal Column

 

 

Little Girl In Trouble—Your case is truly a
sad one and I am afraid you will have to make

the best of it by smoothingout the road with »
' your own leving kindness.

The law is that you
are under ge until eighteen and if you went
away, your ather could bring you back or send
you to. some school for delinquent girls. The
old clothes do not mean much for unhappiness,
because we all have sometime or other had a
.dress made over from an ‘older sister or aunts,
so little reader do ,not feel badly about the made
over clothes. You really are young to go to
dances and -it is alright so long as your father
is with you. I would suggest your ﬁnding some
girls your own age and try associating with them.
Invite them to your home. What you need is
the help and companionship of some good neigh-
borly woman and I hope you will ﬁnd her. Write
again.

This is a lesson for the parent readers of M. B.
F. Don’t put too many burdens upon our young
folks and cheat them out of their childhood. It
is a big problem to know how and when to
scold a girl or boy of tender years, especially be-
tween the ages of twelve and eighteen. Their
1minds are developing fast and they need courage
and lots of attentions to guide them for their
future life. The girl of twelve or fourteen who
works too hard at home is spoiling her future
life as a mother and wife.

-——A letter asking for recipe for canned meats
came into our ofﬁce and the following is from
a subscriber. It sounds real good.

CANNED SAUSAGE MEAT

Here is a recipe a subscriber sent in and says
it has always proved successful. I have kept sau-
sage canned this way until Fall. Grind and
season meat to taste as soon as possible after
butchering so that it has no chance to taint.
Stuff in Links or make little pats not too thick,
and just large enough to go into a quart or
two quart can. 'For a small family one quart
cans are better as the meat soon taints after
it is opened. Fry sausage in frying pans on
the top of the stove. The sausage should be fat
enough to make half the grease required. If not,
melt lard. Watch carefully and ‘turn so that
it does not burn. Fry until done and not too
brown. It is then ready to put into cans that
are ready, of course. Cane should be packed
with sausage up to the shoulder. Pour the grease‘
from frying pan into a small granite pan which
should be kept hot on the stove. Then rinse
the frying pan with boiling water to get the
brown liquid. When this boils ﬁll the can half
full, then fill remainder of pan with hot grease
from the little pan and éover sausage with grease
as the grease must cover the sausage to keep.
If you have plenty of grease, all grease can be
used to ﬁll cans. It is then ready to seal.
' Heat oven as for baking and cover the bottom
of granite baking Dans with sausage and roast
in oven. Watch ‘carefully so that. they do not
burn, and take pans out once and turn so that
all sides are browned alike. Then put into cans
and dip the same as above recipe. The meat will
have a better ﬂavor by this recipe. Itwill keep
just 'as well. Have. tea kettle ﬁlled with boiling
’w‘ater while canning and can all sausage hot.
’ Sliced meat can be canned in the same way.

~Some time ago I noticed a request for a method
of removing rust stains. The lady was mm to
use lemon juice and salt and place in the sun.
I have found that it is much easier and quicker
to place the spot over the top of a steaming
teakettle after dipping in the solution of salt
and lemon juice. If very bad it may need a
second dip.
few moments. Ink spots may be treated the
same way and then washed' in the usual way to
remove the color in the ink. Or they may -be
washed first to remove the color, than the yellow
spot that is left removed with the salt and lemon.

Wlil some reader tell me how to mend broken
dishes so that they will stay mended even when
washed in warm water. I read a way to do it
once with alum or ashes or both but lost the
article. Also- wish to ask if any of the readers
have had experience in shipping rabbits or other
animals to the food and for companies in New
York City and Kansas City, Mo., who offer to
buy all you raise if you buy stOck of them.—-Mrs.
E. W. B.

—-Can any reader answer these questions?

 

The article written by Margaret Bartlett was
very interesting to me. Only one thing could
have made it more perfect; had the mother ex-
plained to the daughter, she was sorry she was
even momentarily angry, as the daughter was
suffering for a mothers mistake.

I have two daughters woman grown and we
are just pals together. There has been no mis-
understandings. If a diﬂerence of opinion arose,
it was easily explained, because of our great love
for each other. This is a secret, Love is the
connecting link (not disconnecting) every time.

,thre love is ﬁrst, there is no discord. One

daughter is an artist, the other a valuable cashier
for a large ﬁrm, and when .they return home
we trio are arm in" arm as heretofore, and often
they say to me, Mother, you are :11: young as we
are, thus we have happy times together.

So much happiness is in store lor us if we
are not oblivious of it.

You mothers that think your hemt is breaking,
yes and fathers too, go within yourselves and
ﬁnd that glorious calm, that serenity of peace
that is ever there, and see only the wonderful
beauty in your sons and daughters and rest as—
sured it will come forth and love you. This I
know from my own splendid daughters. Love
fulﬁlls everything—L. Baker.

 

 

RECIPES

CANNING SMALL FISH
“All ﬂsh must be absolutely frcsh for can-
ning. Do not attempt to can ﬁsh that has been
dead more than a few hours, for it deteriorates
very quickly.
. “To prepare ﬁsh,
ﬁns and entrails

scale or skin, remove head,
They will scale more easily if
dipped for a Jnoment into boiling water. If they
are large, remove back bone. Soak ﬁsh in brine
made of 2 tablespoons salt to 1 quart water,
from quarter of an hour to an hour, according
to the thickness of the pieces. This draws out
the blood. Drain, out into lengths or pieces
desirable for packing and serving. Pack into
jars, add hot brine made of 1% tablespoons of
salt to 1 quart of water. Partially seal, process
pint jars 60 to 90 minutes of 15 lbs. steam
pressure, seal. Canned fish may be served boiled,

'with sauce, rolled in meal or crumbs and fried,
' baked and basted with butter, deviled, scalloped,

crouquettes, ﬂsh cakes, salads and in many other
ways. The above directions may be used for all
varieties of ﬂsh.”—Mich. Agri. College.

RHUBARB CONSERVE
Many people have more rhubarb in their patch
than they can use up in sauce for immediate
consumption. Why not convert this into con-
serves? The following recipes are good:

Rhubarb and Prune Conserve

One quart rhubarb cut in small pieces.

One cup prune pulp.

Three cups sugar.

One lemon, juice and grated rind.

One— half cup English walnuts, chopped. Cook
the rhubarb. the piune pulp and the sugar until
the mixture is thick Add the lemon juice and
rind and the nuts. Cook slowly until the con—
serve has a rich, red color.

Note—One cup chopped raisins may be added.

Rhubarb and Pineapple Marmalade

Three pounds led rhubarb.

Two pounds sugar.

Two lemons, juice and rind grated.

One cup grated pineapple.

Cook the mixture slowly until’it is thick and
clear. Turn into glasses and seaL—Home Eco-
nomics, Colorado Agricultural College.

 

RHUBARB SHORTCAKE

Mix and sift together two cups of ﬂour, four
teaspoons of baking powder, one half teaspoon of
salt and two- tablespoons of sugar. Rub in one—
third cup of shortening and add one egg and
enough milk to make a very soft dough. Spread
the dough evenly in two small greased layer cake
pans and bake in a hot ove11——400 degrees—for
ten minutes. Remove from pans, cool slightly.
Spread stewed rhubarb very thick between and on
top of the layers and serve with “hard sauce, cus-
tard sauce or whipped cream:-

RHUBARB JELLY

Wash rhubarb and cut into small pieces. Mix
with just enough water to keep the rhubarb from
burning. To each pound of rhubarb add juice
of one orange and one lemon and the ﬁnely-
chopped rind and inside white peel. Cook slova
until tender and pour into a jelly bag to drip.
When all the juice has dripped through, measure
and allow one pound of sugar to each pint of
juice. Heat to boiling point and boil ﬁve minutes;

1 started may be safd'tm be well on
the. way formarket. After he is a
few weeks old and has succeseﬁuxlly
passed the warning” period" he is pret-
ty well able to take care of himself
if heisgiven messes-plenty otthe
right kinds offset}. Therefore, says
the Unft’edtStates’ Department of Ag-
riculture, we should take particular»
care at thistime- in order to make
the fob easier later in the season and
the proﬁts greater. A pig that grows
well from start to ﬁnish. is always
the desirable and most proﬁtable
one no matter whether the price of
hogs is high or low. ’ . _ .
It, should go without saying, al-
though, unfortunately, it still- needs
repetition, that ﬁrst of all the pig
in, order to be proﬁtable must be. well
bred- end .of good type. He ~must
have in his veins the blood of ani-
male that havehagl' thepcapaclty to

to a maximum quantity of meat. But
even a pig Istarting with these ad-
vantages mey be a poor piece of
property if he is: badly handled- or‘ if
fed improperly. He may get a bad
start in competition with- his litter
mates; he may be stunted at wean—
ing time; worms may sap his vital-
ity; the pasture provided may be in-
sumcient for his needs; or, if pre-
cautions have not been taken, chol-
era may whisk him to an untimely
and unproﬁtable end. But among
these possibilities there is none that
can not be guarded against.

The opinions of hog raisers vary
widely as to the age at. which pigs
should be weaned. Some of _them
take the youngstersaway fromtheir
mothers at 5 weeks, others ‘at. 12
weeks, while still others may make
them shift for themselves at any age
between these extremes. In .excep-
tional cases breeders will leave pigs
with the sows even when they are
more than 3 ‘months old. Unless
there is some special reason for so
doing, says the department, pigs
should not be weaned until they are
at least 10 weeks old, and a sow that
will not suckle her litter for this per-
iod is undesirable as a mother and
should be discarded from the herd.

Some farmers and breeders wean
the 'pigs at an earlier age‘in order to
get two litters ,a year. The depart-
ment considers it better practice to
give the pigs a stronger start and
raise only 3 litters in 2 years. It is
better to raise fewer pigs and have
them well grOWn than to raise a
larger number and have many of
them stunted.
When a litter" is to be weaned" at—
tention must be given to the sow’s
condition as well as to the pigs. To
bring about a favorable condition for
Weaning, the quality and quantity of
her feed should be reduced for 4 or
5 days before the pigs are to. be tak-
en away. This will result in a; re-
duced ﬂow of milk and tendE to pre-
vent udder troubles. The sow should
be removed from the pigs rather
than the pigs from the. sow; the
youhgsters being left in the quarters
to which they are accustomed and
having.access to a self feeder which
they should have learned to use sev-
eral weeks earlier.. In case a sow‘s
udder after she has been taken away
becomes so distended with milk that
it is painful she may me returned to

 

 

 

~

, her family for a short time for relief.

It will seldom be necessary to return
her more than once. .

When the pigs are weaned" do not
change the ration. Leave them on
good pasture, with access to the self

, feeder containing corn and shorts or
‘ middlings. If during the suckling
period or after skim to? or butter

milk is added to the r ion, com.
mence feeding it in small quantities,
gradually increasing it from day to
day. Sudden. changes areialways to
be avoided; ‘ - .

TWO NEW CHAMPIONS m
' AN

1 W0 Michigan Holsteins have out- p. " '
classed former records of pro-
duction for their age and length

of test making 'them ‘new state
champions, one. of them taking ﬁrst g
place in two divisions. .

canary Maid’ Prometheus Champ»
ion is' declared highest producer in,
Michigan as a. senior three-year-old
in both. the seven day and thirty day
division. , . ,

She is owned by the State Hospit-
al at Newberry. In seven days she
produced 674.5 pounds of fat. or
34.87 pounds of butter. Her thirty.
day record is 263:9;1i pounds of "milk
and 106.796 pOunds of fat or 133.?
495 pounds‘of butter.

Segis Cornucopia Pauline, owned
by W. C. Cornwell, Saginaw, Michi—
gan, is a third new state champion.
At full age in the ten.- months divis—'

ion she produced 22832.8 pounds of\' ' 7 ‘

milk and 766.71 poundsof fat equal
to. 958.38 pounds of butter. ~

PRIZE COW’ AT M. A. 0. SETS
' NEW MILK RECORD
AULINE Jane Pontiac, 3, pure
bred Holsteinr—F‘riestian cow
owned by M- A. Cs, has set'a
new high mark for seven-day milk
and butter fat production among all
the state agricultural college herds ’
in the United States: ' ‘
She- produced 731.1 pounds. of
milk, containing 36.58 pounds of 80
percent butter in: the seven days of
her ofﬁcial test. .
That Paulineis performance

 

is

.. merely the result of careful breeding

is pointed out by J. E. Burnett of
the M. A. 0‘. dairy department, who
supervised the testing; Pauline was
sired by Pauline, Sir Pontiac, one of

. the best- of the M. A. C. herd.

Another of his daughters, Pauline ‘-
Segis Fayne, produced more than
21,000 pounds of milk as a junior
two-year—old and still another-.Paiul—
inc Colantha' Fayne, produced 19',-
800 pounds of milk at the same age.

thatDelavaI Separators
Sh'm the Cleanest

Statements from over half the cow testers employed by cow test-
ing associations .1111 t the blurted States, reaching over 6000
farms, we additions proof of the superior skimming efficiency of
De Lava Separators. ' ‘ ‘ ~

Cow testers know‘best of all what cream separators are used most, .
wind) skim cleanest and last lmgest, because they regularly test‘ﬁm
skim-mill: from the separators owned by their members. They say:

—“I ﬁnd on an average Do Laval Separators skim cleaner—from a trace to .04 of
one per cent. Thirteen out of nineteen separators here are De Levels.“ (.01 of
one per cent equals one 1b. out of every 10,000.)

—“0ut of 48 separator users 29 use Do Levels. I’ve found them the best skimmer-s
lot the longest time."

-—“86 members have so arators, and as am D6 Levels. They give the best.
conduction after con daring all pomts."

-"'De Laval Separators have no equal for quality and
eﬁcienoy. 15 out of 20 are Do Lavals.“

—“90% of the separators used bymy members are Do
Levels. The majority skim closer than .02 of one
per cent.”

--“'I‘he De Laval is a very close skimmer under

. a and all conditions. 95% of the separators

here are Be Lavals.”*

—-“.I havezﬁmembers and 18 use Do Lavals. I have
not had one test below .05 of one per cent.“

« BOOSTINGBTHE FALL WHEAT
'OLLING the' fall wheat in the

spring, after. the ground has be-

conre suﬂiciently dry, has boost-
ed many an unfavorable ﬁeld of
wheat. Packers, 'that are now a
part of the equipment, on many
farms,_ are splendid for this work.
They pulverize the soil to a ﬁner
degree than an ordinary roller, and
leave the top of the ground in a
condition. that is less subject to a
crust. They break the crust that is
usually forming, fill the cracks, and
press the freshly pulverized earth
ﬁrmly against the roots of the plants.
This not only gives the wheat a start
but aids in preserving moisture that
is often needed later on.

Last year the writer had an op-
portunity to witness the beneﬁt that
‘resulted from harrowing a ﬁeld of
fall wheat.
sowed late in the fall, with very
little growing weather following.
In the spring it did not appear to be
worth leaving; but-_ when a little
crust began to ‘form on the top of
the “ground, and before it became
hard, the owner ran over the ﬁeld
with the spike tooth harrows. The
impression the harrowsmade upon
the ground did not appear to be suf—
ﬁcient to merit the time spent, the
wheat soon began'to show improve—
ment, and by harvest time had at—
tained a normal height. This ﬁeld
of wheat, that at one time appeared
to be a failure, returned a fair yield;
and it payed the owner well for the
little time spent in harrowing it.

‘ The reason that rolling or harrow-
ing the fall wheat is not practiced
on more farms is because it needs
to be done at that time of the year
when work is usually crowding the
farmer. But, when one can increase
the yield of the wheat crop from.
one to three bushels per acre with
‘so little effort it would be proﬁtable
to neglect less important work in
order to give the fall wheat a boost.

Running over the fall wheat with
the packer or spike—tooth harrows
this springmay be the making of
the crop—L. W. Silverthorn.

OAT SMUT IS PREVENTABLE

Would like to get some informa-
tion regarding treatment of cats and
barley smut. Has the State De-
partment of Agriculture a formula
fonthe treatment of oats and barley
smut? If they have a formula, will
they furnish the anti—smut cure?
What would be the cost?——J. A. B.,
Tawas City, Michigan.

sitic fungus—a small plant which
makes no food for itself but steals
its living from the' cat. The body
of the smut fungus is made up of
threads, microscopic in size, which
live inside the oat plant, growing up
with it, and ﬁnally producing its
own kind of fruit where the oat
kernel should be ‘produced. This
fruiting mass of the oat fungus is
the brown “smutty” powder. It is
made up of the countless thousands
of exceedingly minute balls. These
l.balls are the “seed” of the smut
fungus. They are called spores.
These seed-like bodies, the "spores,
are mature at threshing time. They
get into the crevices of the grain
and adhere to the surfaces: When
the grain'sprouts, the smut fungus
sprouts too, and bores into the
young seedling. This is the\ only
period when smut can infect the
cats. Once iinside, the smut grows
as the cat plant grows, keeping pace
with its progress. When the oat
matures, the smut maturesialso and
cempletely replaces the normal grain
with the “smutty” powder. The
seed for next year’s crop becomes.

\ 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
hatched egg. Readers are warned
to: beware of White Diarrhea. Don’t
wait until _it kills half ‘your chicks.
Take the “stitch in timethat save
nine.” Remember, there is scarcely
a hatch Without someinfected chicks.
Don't let these few infect your entire
flock. Prevent it. Give Walko in all
drinking 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. Fin-

ally I sent for two packages of Wal—
ko.- I raised over 500 chicks and I
never lost 'a single chick from White
Diarrhea.
White Diarrhea, but it gives the
; ‘chicks strength and vigor; they de-
, velop quicker and feather earlier.”

Never Lost One After First
Dose

Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shennandoah,
~ Iowa, writes: “My ﬁrst incubator
chicks, when but a few days old, be-
gan to die by the dozens with White
Diarrhea. , I tried different remedies
and was aboutdiscouraged with the
chicken business. Finally, I sent to
the Walker Remedy 00., Waterloo,
Iowa, for a box of their Walko White
Diarrhea Remedy. It’sjust the only
thing for this terrible disease. We
raised -7 00 thrifty, healthy chicks
and never lost a single chick after
the ﬁrst dose."

rhea Remedy entirely at our risk—

VERY SUCCESSFUL INCUBATION

"Can you give me cOmplete direc-
tions on,how to hatch chicks from in-
cubator without losing so many
large full grOWn chicks which die in
shell? I have trouble every time. I

How many geese can you breed with
Does it make differ-
ence in fertility of eggs if you use

Can you incubate turkey and geese
eggs?—Mrs. C._A. S., Onaway,’Mich.

——Statistics gathered from every
part. of the state this season indicate

that the average hatch has been.

about ﬁfty per. cent. I note you re—
ceived from 75 to 80 chicks from
135 eggs set and would consider this
very successful incubation especially

,during the‘ months of March and

early April. Later in the Season
when the birds are permitted free
range a few dead chicks will be
found in the Shell and the mortality
during the incubation period will' be
greatly lessened.

Low hatchability of the egg in-
The breeding
stock should of course be in the best
physical condition. Artiﬁcal illum-
ination, heavy protein feeding, and
over crowding in damp and poorly
ventilated buildings all have a tend-

' ency to decrease both fertility and

hatchability. Immature breeding
stock frequently produces a, high
percentage of weak germs. The fate
of the chick is more easily determin—
ed before it is produced and there-
fore the incubator should not be too
severely critized for the resultant

low hatches early in the season. Hot ‘

water machines are usually the most
satisfactory during the early months
because the air at that time is rela—
tively dry and the moisture mach—
on an average, will produce
more successful hatches. Later' in
the season, however, when the hu-
midity of the air increases the hot
air machines may excel the hot water
type.

It is unadvisable to inbreed with
either turkey or geese as the infertil-
ity usually runs much higher and
the offspring is often lacking in con-
stitutional-vigor. It is not ordinar-
ily advisable to use over three geese
Both turkey and
geese eggs have been successfully in;
cubated by artiﬁcial means although
it is generally advisable to set the
domestic hen early in the seaso’n
thereby inducing the goose and turk-
ey hen to produce as many eggs as
possible. The latter can be used for
incubation work later in the season.

——SOME OF MY RESUIII‘S'
HEN chicks are ﬁrst received
' from the company or hatched
by your own hens it is not
best to feed them until they are
thirty-six hours old, as the youk of
the egg provided them with nourish,
ment until they reach this age.
Feeding before this time causes
many deaths because the system is
not ready to receive the food and
bowel trouble results.

For their ﬁrst meal a good feed
would be a boiled egg, shell and all
chopped ﬁne mixed with three times
its amount in bread crumbs. After
a week or two a more sutlable food
for growing chicks would be rolled
oats or screenings. Chicks need
water constantly in summer and
winter. Green fed is used as an ap-
petizer.

After the chicks are a month old
they need heavier food to build up
their systems. Along with this
heavier feed a soft mash should be
fed. The ratio being one feed of
soft buttermilk mash to every two
feeds of grain.

Chicks must have animal feed,
when they are on free range they
can pick up bugs and worms them-
selves, but if they are conﬁned you
must give it to them in the form of
meat scrap. Another thing they
must be provided with, if conﬁned
it needs chick size grit because it is
important to help them digest their
food Fine scratch sand should be
provided tor thém if it is not possi-
ble to get grit. , - .

After the chicks have been reared
cracked corn and wheat give excel-
lent exercise, if fed in litters from
3 to 6 inches deep so they will have
to scratch for it. Hens cannot get
too much exercise for if they don't
have to work they get 1:00 fat and
can't lay.

By feeding my chicks in this way
I have raised them by having only
eight deaths out of eighty. My hens
have produced in the month of Jan-
uary, 214 eggs; February, 460 eggs;
and March, 1,002 eggs, making a
total of 1, 676 eggs. Of these I have
sold 128 dozens, besides using in
our home 11 2-- 3 dozens and selling
two settings at $1. 00 each. Selling
the 128 dozens at an average of 4°C.
I have received $55. 73 and $2. 00 for
setting making a. total of $57. 73.
The feed used amounted to $23. 45,
netting me $34. 28 .—Grant Gallup,

County, Mich. '

CULLING HENS ‘
many ﬂocks a large loss is main-.
tained every year through the
keeping of unproﬁtable hens and

it is important that culling be done
regularly, but to do it right is the
important thing. The two common
methods resorted to for culling hens
is to sell 0!! those that have the
rough, scaly legs whether or not
their age is known. Scaly legs in-
stead of indicating age, are caused
by a microscopic mite known as the
“scaly leg mite.” 7 This pest gets
under the scales of the shank and
toes and naturally the advance
stages are more marked on the older
chickens. This is not a reliable rule
to follow in selecting the old hens.
There are two methods for mark-
ing birds, which can be followed suc-
awfully. When the. chicks are
newly hatched,1t is an easy matter
to clip the rear toenail, Which if well
cupped will never grow out again.
This will not cause the chick any in-
convenience 11 serves as a means

pay for her keep aft-

ei- the second your or laying season
and unless’ she is o! exceptional 'va'l-

no as a breeder she should be dispos-
ed 01'. It is during the pullet year
that the majority of hens make the
best egg records and therefore it is
good practice to feed for egg produc-
tion the ﬁrst year The second year
the hens that were the best layers

. and of strong vitality should be used

for breeding. .The third year they

"should be disposed of.

Another reason for culling hens is
to keep, down disease. For example
one disease in particular is more evi-

dent in farm ﬂocks than is generally

thought ofand that is tuberculosis.
Where the disease is present in the
flock, the older fowls show the larger
percentage __of infection and 'are us-
ually in the advance stages of the
disease- So culling will be a great
help in doing away with this trouble.

We would not cull now if hens are

laying, but do so as soon as the lay-

ing period is over this spring.

«HOW TO PREVENT DISEASE
HERE is no doubt that fowls un-
der modern forced conditions
have more ills than fowls did
years ago when they roamed the
ﬁelds in an almost wild state. Forc-
ing’ and pampering and inbreeding
in various ways has caused it. But
who would be willing to give up the
various improvements and go back
to the woods’ fowls of various types
and colors andlaying about 59 eggs
3. year and that in the late spring-
time?

Thousands of progressive and suc-
cessful poultrymen and up—to-date
farmers are faithfully striving to
banish the conditions which produce
disease; and are living examples of
how fowls should be kept for health.
F'owl’s kept in .close conﬁnement
with no possible chance to escape the
existing conditions very frequently
are subject to about as many ills as
their keepers, and that means legion,
it would seem. The great harvest
of death among the feathered tribes
due to the sins of commission and
omission is too great even to esti—
mate. As someone' has said, “stop
sinnlng and attend to business,” ap-
plies admirably in this case. '

The secret of sickness has been
discovered. Disease is due to germs
of a certain kind WLich devlop or
sprout if you please, when the con-
ditions are just right, when the tilth
-—-or rather the ﬁlth—~43 right. The
blood and tissues of the fowl are the
garden for the germs. The feed in
the digestive tract is very often the
seed-bed for these disease germs.
You may read of them as microbes,
basteria, ferments and the like. We
are told that there are germsrin a
healthy organism which devour or
destroy the enemy germs so that
they fall to get in- their work. They
are of various names and character
and so numerous that the average
man of practical ideas does not have
the time or the inclination to study
them individually enough to do him
any good in his life-work. .On the
other hand, it is very essential for
him to know that stagnant pools of
water with a green scum over it,
stale garbage heaps, impure air,

damp chilly houses and coops are-

all favorable breeding places for the
disease germs, and hostile to the
good health of poultry. . p

The question 'then resolves itself
into whether the poultry man shall

N look well to the sanitary conditions

with which he may-surround his

.poultry by careful work, or utterly
‘ignore all such things, allowing his
‘ {looks to drift into a state of disease

and trouble at almost any time, and
"depend upon doctoring to get results.

Preventative easures not only
consist in sanitalfl measures but in
stock, and if any
new fowls are purchased proceeding
'to- put'them through quarantine un—
til you .are satisﬁed that they have

, no diseases which may be transmit-
ted~to your own ﬂocks before putting

them with then. The same course

own. stock. If any should develop

Keep the houses and ~coops clean’
and free from- mites and lice, [both
of which are deadly enemies to
fowls. ‘ Do not wait for a sign of
mites to appear but'go right after

them if they are present.

The feeding should be carefully
guarded, and nothing but the ﬁnest
and soundest’ of grain and feedstuff.
used. MuSty‘grain will put a lot of
sfowls on the dumps about as quick
as anything we can think of. They
may not get sick unto death right 01!
but they will get mightly out of con-

GOOd‘fresh, cool water and shade are
real essentials.

A great preventative of disease is
~found in the use of ,Epsom salts giv-
en once in ‘two weeks during the hot
months, and once a month during
“the rest of the year. It should be
given at the rate of one-third tea-
spoon to the fowl, dissolved in water
and then used to wet a mash for
them; fed in the morning is prefera—
able._ This item is too important to
be neglected, so take notice.

A TEN DOLLAR START
HEN I came out here on my
little acre and a half, nine
years ago, I had only $10 left
on which to live until I could get a
start with poultry,” began Mrs. C.
Jewett of Auburn. “I“ came largely
for my health, since the doctors told
me I wouldn’t live. I had to do all
the work myself, but it was the mak-
,ing of me and I built up my little
home, which I would not trade for
the best property in Seattle.

“I began with what few ducks I
could buy and three duck eggs. A
friend of mine received a half dozen
eggs from England and she divided
with me. , All I got out of the set-
ting was a drake, but I have kept
him for breeding up the ﬂock. I
also secured some g00d African
“geese and I still have a gander,
which I call Jiggers, and ﬁve hens.

“A few years later I got started
with China pheasants by buying a
few eggs. I had to pay a license of
$10 to begin and $5 each year there-
after. I ﬁnd that they pay well,

young pheasants, but I prefer to sell
the eggs, since there is less labor in-
volved. This spring I took a con-
tract to hatch 200 pheasant eggs for
the county game v commission and
will use Japanese Silky hens, since
they can handle pheasant eggs better
than a larger hen. They also make
good ,mothers for the young birds
after they are hatched.”

Mrs. Jewett also has a pen of
Light Brahmas, which she is raising
for the production of capons. She
has found a good demand for well—
fatte'ned capons, and has a few
which have been fat'tened over wint-
er and weigh six pounds at the age
of 7 months, dressed and drawn.
This flock will be increased this year,
and a new cockeral secured with the
idea of producing as many capons‘as
possible during the next few years.

In another pen Mrs. Jewett keeps
a ﬂock of hens which are crossed be-
tween White Leghorns and Wyan-
dottes. ,While she does not recom—
mend this cross, she merely gives the
ﬁgures showing the egg production
for January to show what can be
done with a small ﬂock. The 50
hens produced a total of 84 dozen
eggs during the month, which were
sold at an average of 27 cents a doz-
en. This made a total of $22, $14
of which was clear proﬁt.above the
cost of feed.\ The birds got a bal-
anced ration of scratch feed and egg .
mash together with such green feeds

furnished from the home garden.
‘ This pen will be kept as a commerc-
ial ﬂock. ,

A" few. turkeys are kept merely to
supply the demand for turkey eggs,
and Only a few eggs are hatched
~under hens which are not sold im-.
mediatelynfor. setting.‘ A number of?

”bantams are also kept about the”.
place, partly for curiosities, and also

for to raise the ducklings‘under
home-made brooder‘ and set the hen
over again. ’ " ‘ r
“I have/always kept the ducks
geese in the same 'lot and find;
they do not interfere'with cache ,
er. A small pond or swiming tank,
is always kept full of runningwate ‘
and they are allowed access to ,iihi 4’
at all times. I have only 10 geese"
now, since Ijust sold off some of- the
best stock. There are two breeds,
the Toulouse and the African”. There
is a demandfor both the young stock:
and for the setting eggs, but I would
just as soon sell the eggs, as I can:
easily get 50 cents each. ‘/ ' " V

since they need very little grain dur-
ing the summer, but will get the\
biggest part of their living from
grass. and other green stuff that can
be spared from the garden. I have
asmall lot in which the geese and ;.
ducks are kept and I will have , it _,
plowed and seeded to rye. This will >
be fenced off and the birds turned in
hvihlin the grain is about six inches _
g .

“While both the ducks and- the

“Geese are very easy to mice,

gee e are very fond of water, it is,

not necessary that they have access
to a pond." The ducks are what are
called dry land ducks and will get
along with very little water.
are better contented, however, If
they can have a small pond to swim
in and it is not so hard to furnish
such in almost any‘lot. It is also, a.
good plan to furnish boxes or small
houses where the ducks can have'
their nests. Some of them will lay
on the ground, anyway, but it is well'
to encourage them to use the nests.

“I have a home garden in which’I

’ raise a large part of my table sup-T

ply,” explained Mrs. Jewett. “This
is good garden soil, and I keep it
well fertilized with hen manure and.
can grow almost. ‘anything‘. The
garden also furnishes a good source ?
of green feeds for the birds, and I

can keep practically all ofthe pens, .

supplied during the summer. While
I have a. large collection of ﬂowers
about the house. I do not'plan-‘on.
selling anything of this kind. They
are used more to add beauty to the
yard and to create a more home like
appearance. .
“It has been hard work, to build
up even as small a home as this, but‘

it has been well worth While. I have

’done practically all of the work my—

I:

They '

self up until last summer, am‘ 52

years old, and was never healthier in
my life. I attribute it all to the
abundance of outside air and exer-
cise which a person gets when doing
hard work of this kind. I have had
good ode-rs for my place, but have
refused them all because I much pre— ’
fer a home to the money it would
bring. I would be a long time build-
ing up another, and I would probab-
ly spend’the money before another
home was cOmpleted."—Washington

DISTINCT POULTRY BRANCHES
The poultry Business, east and
west, is going broken up into several
distinct branches—breeding, produc-
ing market eggs, producing market <~
fowls, hatching, selling day—old
chicks, etc., and Professor A. G.‘
Lunn of the Poultry Department of

the Oregon Agricultural college be- ' '

lieves that if the“ entire east develops
as a. market producing section the .,
demand for stock will ﬁnd its way to
the Paciﬁc coast. Then if the time
ever comes when the west can not
compete with the east in commercial
egg production our opportunity ,to
develop poultry farms will come 2 :
along the line of breeding. ‘ . '

' menu’s MARKET rim
By W. W. Foote

Good Agricultural Outlook
ABOR was never before so well
employed throughout the United
States, and wages are far the
highest ever paid,- with increasing
wages in quite a number of lines of
industry. The railroads are doing
the greatest business on record, and
people are spending more money
than ever before, a great deal being
expended for meats, ﬂour and other
farm products. Meanwhile, market-
ing of grain and. live stock helps
farmers to liquidate part of their
indebtedness, and there are fewer
applications received by country
bankers from farmers for loans. Our
exports to other countries are on a
large scale, especially of provisions,
these greatly, exceeding such exports
made a year ago. The government’s
forecast of planting, the ﬁrst ever
attempted, indicates an ._ increased
acreage of corn, oats, barley, ﬂax,
tobacco and cotton. In the southern
states planters are reported to be
lowering their corn acreage and ma-
terially increasing the cotton acre-
age. The past year was a very un-
favorable one for marketing both
Irish and sweet potatoes, because of
overproduction, and consequently
farmers are reported as lowering
their acreage for these important
vegetables. The spring was unusual-
ly late, and this means late seeding
of crops in some places lessened
planting. Naturally, there is wide-
spread interest shown in the reports
of large losses of pigs on account of
the late cold, wet spring, but it is
probable that these reports were
overdrawn in numerous instances
and losses will be .partly offset by
the much increased breeding in most
farm districts. The recent advance
in prices of lamb in Chicago and
other markets was due to a great
falling off in the receipts, the Colo-
rado fed lambs having been mostly
marketed, while the crop of southern
spring lamb furnished by Kentucky
and Tennessee will not. be ready to
market before June, owing to the
late spring. Great interest is man-
ifested in the sheep industry in the
middle west, and farmers ownlng
plenty of hardy breeding ewes may
'consider themselves in luck.
Curtailment of “fhcat Acreage
Fluctuations in wheat prices dur-
ing recent weeks were apt to be
greater than usual, changing crop
reports being the principal factor
in the market. Not long ago prices
‘ were much higher, but deliveries on
May contracts were about the largest
on record, causing a temporary large
reaction in quotations. At last the
weather turned warm, after the long
spell of unseasonably cold and wet
weather, and crop prospects are im—
proved. However, rains came too
late, it is claimed, to make good
crops in Nebraska and western Kans-
as, and a great many tracts of winter
Wheat ﬁelds of the southwest had
to be abondoned. In the northwest
many farmers have been insisting
upon getting higher prices for their
wheat, and it is-reported that for—
eigners have been buying wheatin
the Canadian northwest, oriental
business being especially heavy. Our
exports of wheat and ﬂour week after
week are running far ahead of last
year, while prices are much lower
than at that period. The visible
wheat supply in the United States
is not looked upon as unduly large,
although it is 44,521,000 bushels,
comparing with 31,281,000 bushels
a year ago. Rye, which is in large
demand for export, mainly to Ger-
many, is much below the prices paid
a year ago, with the visable supply
up ‘to 19,459,000 bushels, whereas a
year ago it was down to 8,163,000
bushels. Corn and oats exports are
much less in volume than a year ago,
while suppliesin night are much less
thn then, the cats visible. supply be-

The Cattle Outlook

While it is diﬁicnlt totell what
the future will bri ferth, from all‘
that can be learne it may be said
that better prices are expected with-
in the next two or three months-
More feeding was carried on in im-
portant cattle feeding districts last
wint and the mild weather greatly
favor (1 owners, as less corn than us-
ual was needed. Marketings of cat-
tle for the year so far show heavy
increases over corresponding periods
in recent years, and liberal supplies
are expected so long as the supply
holds out. But decidedly fewer
stock and feeder cattle have been.
shipped from the western market's
than a year ago, owing to the fact
that many farmers thought the
prices asked for 'wellobred stockers
and feeders were too high as com-
pared to prices prevailing for ﬁnish-
ed beef steers. The nearness of the
grazing season has started up some-
what larger buying for stock cattle,
but as yet shipments to country-
points havebeen only moderate in
numbers. However, some of the
veterans in stock feeding are going
to continue in the business the same
as ever, and James W._Wadsworth,
United States senator from western
New York, showed up in the Chicago
stock yards recently for thepurpose
of buying about twenty car loads of
thin cattle for feeding. He said
farmers in his part of the country
were inthe habit of grazing a great
many cattle for autumn marketing,
and they see no reason for abandon-
ing the custom now. Mr. Wads-
worth divided his purchases pretty
evenly between steers and .cows. The
cows average from 850' to 950
pdunds, and he estimated that they
would show average summer gains
of about 275 pounds. Recent sales
of ‘stockers and feeders in Chicago
have been largely at $7 to $8.25, a
few prime ﬂeshy lots of feeders sell-
ing up to $8.50 to $9. Beef steers
have been bringing $6.75 to $7.50
for the cheaper class of light weights
up to‘59 to $10 for the better class
of steers carrying good weight, with
a few, extra ﬁne lots going as high as
$10.25. The bulk of the steers go
at $8 to $10. Cows and heifers sell
mainly at $5.25 to $8, prime heifers
going as high as $9 to $9.25. Calves
sell mostly at $8.50 to $10 per 100
pounds. Milkers and springers are
wanted "at $60 tie-$95, prime H01?
stein cows going highest. ”

Abundance of Hogs

Farmers have been breeding swine
to a remarkably large extent for a.
year, and the result is vastly larger
marketings at packing points this
year than for. recent years.
pens that the consumption through-
out the country of lard, fresh and
cured meats has been almost phe-
nomenally large for many months,
and this has been an important fac-
tor in the -h=og.market, while exports
of, lard and cured meats'have kept
on running from week toweek‘ far
ahead of a year ago in volume. But
the marketing of hogs in Chicago
and Missouri River markets has" been,
much larger than in other years that ’
stocks of provisions are piling up,

and this is a bearish, factor that can..- »

not fail to make itself. felt in making
hog values. -. Hogs in Chicagomar:

High Prices tor Lambs

Most of the Colorado fed lambs
have been shipped to market, and, an
the spring lambs .of Kentucky and
Tennessee will not be ready for mar-
keting until June because of the cold,
wet spring, there has been a real
scarcityof fat lambs in the Chicago

market lately and the highest prices

of the year. The best wooled lambs
have sold up to 315.35 per 100 lbs.
but lambs are now mostly clipped
before marketing. Heavy clipped
lambs are wanted mute! the time
for export, and foreign buyers are
the only active ones for such ﬂocks.
Exports of such lambs from Chicago
for the year to recent date amount
to 7,500 ”head. During a recent
week exporters purchased about
600 shorn lambs which- averaged
around 105 pounds. The wool mar—
ket is extremely ﬁrm. Meager re-i
ceipts last week made higher prices,
Ellilzldeg lambs selling at $10.50 to
o. 0. '

WHEAT '
_"Wheat prices show decided ~de-
clincs for the past week and declines

‘were made in the face of unfavorable

news which appeared on the market
nearly every day of the week. Wea-
thcr that helped the winter wheat
outlook was mainly responsible for
the weakness in the market. There
was rain over a great deal of the dry
country and the crop gained in many
places although the rains came too
late to do much good in the worst
district of the southwest, where
abandoned acreage makes a large
total. The weather over the spring.
wheat‘states improved 3.180, and this
is too late to prevent the abandon—
ment of much land and the substi-
tution of other crops for wheat. The
seeding of spring wheat is about
three weeks late and not more than
half ﬁnished in some of the import-
ant states, giving the crop a very
doubtful promise. The unfavorable
conditions were all known a week
ago when prices were high and the
better weather of last week caused

much selling for the taking of proﬁts "

bringing a weak tone. There are
many bearish dealers in the market.
They believe the pressure of cash
wheat will force prices down in the
absence of an active foreign demand.
The export business improved during
the week, but the foreigners took
Canadian wheat in nearly all cases
and the supply in this countryseek-
ing a market is very large. Aus—
trailia reports an export surplus this
year otless than half the previous
year’s exports. _
