Michigan bull altho consigned by
Wisconsin, because he has been used
during the last two years in this
state by ‘Dr. Consaul oi Mt.‘Pleasant.
He sold for $91,100.00.

Another point regarding the sale
to exult over is that Michigan not
only sold its cattle to the best ad-
vantage, but Michigan breeders also
headed the list as buyers. ’

Out of 111 head sold in the sale
for $69,375.00, an average per head
of $625.00, Michigan bought '41 head

for $30,795.00, an average per head
of “$751.00.

Next to our state as a buying state
came Pennsylvania, taking 32 head
at an average price paid of $612.34,
then Ohio buying '16 head at an av-
erage of $461.25, Missouri took 6
head at an average of $390.00, and
New Jersey '6 head at an average of
$544.00.

The Michigan buyers were: De-
troit Creamery 00., Mt. Clemens, 10

heimer, Homer, 13 head, average
$613.07; J. B. Jones, Detroit, 4 head,

mand some (painstaking work, which
the committee upon type has so well
performed. I recommend, therefore,
that a committee be authorized to
undertake this work.

The subject which has received

the most consideration during the
past year has been extension work.
Little had been done during the [pre-
ceeding year because of lack of
funds. The increase in the transfer
fee, however, authorized at the an-
nual convention in Kansas City last
year made possible the taking up of
this work in a broad and compre-
hensive way. Cali club work has

interest of calf club work. In order-
to avoid duplication, we are co-op-
crating closely, with the college of
agriculture and with the local farm
bureaus. We have proceeded on the
theory that a county agent should
be the actual head of all farm activ—

clearly that the calf club can be

We, oi! course, believe in pressing

John G. Krauth, A Pioneer

ITH a frontier residence in
northeastern Mic h i g a n of
twenty-three y e a r s, coming
here from Minnesota with a band of
sheep, a ﬁrst-hand experience with a
'settler’s problem, in all its phases,
leaving a lasting conviction on my
mind as to the one course I should
follow, and which I ﬁnally followed,
in placing settlers upon cut—over
land, well recognized for its fertility
and diversity of crqps, there were
many points in my favor as a starter.
‘ To start with, the fact must be
' recognized that stump land seldom
‘attracts home seekers with swollen
wallets or near swollen wallets, not
when‘they can so readily ﬁnance
the purchase of improved land.
Stump land is the last hope of a
lean pursed Settler urged by a con—
suming desire to possess his own
ﬁreside,——just as the lean in purse
is the ﬁrst and last hope of the
possessor of stump land, and by the

x

a jungle, a fact lost sight of by many
owners of .wild land whose terms call
fora stiff down payment, and prompt
yearly payments, regardless of cir-
cumstances. Unless unimproved land
owners display a real cooperative
spirit with the home seeker, their
land will not interest him.

It is not helping the new settler
by simply permitting his payments
and interest to lapse. Unless he
receives an occasional lift, with no
Shylock’s toll attached, and in/‘Which

or by added improvements,,in most
cases of a permanent nature, the
land owner ,has killed hope in the

this. short’ sighted policy discour—
aged other buyers, thereby injuring
the whole community.

There is nothing so depressing, so
'discouraging, so destructive to one’s
leﬂiciency as a maturing debt on the

v roof that shelters, with no prospect
in sight for meeting it promptly, or
even reasonably promptly, thereby
jeopardizing all at the mercy of a
creditor, who is likely to develop
_ shark traits, or who perhaps habit—
ually banks on misfortune for his
harvest.

In my early experience, I too,
waited and watched for cash, or near
cash buyers only, to storm the front
door of my log shack in the brush,
, but the rush failed to materialize.

'Day by day, I was absorbing the
bitter lesson that you can’t connect
'a fat her near fat wallet with wild

a ﬁner building will take its place,
but it will not be more comfortable.

There are no quick returns in the
colonization or placing settlers upon
stump land. It is a waiting game at
best, but if properly managed and
the agricultural conditions are favor”—
able, which of course is understood,
the returns are as sure as death and-
taxes; furthermore, it is not a busi—
ness to be directed from a swivel
chair in some distant oﬂice. The
“head beetle” should be on the
ground, or in'his place, a representa-
tive with power to say yes or no,

‘very little encouragement from me
as our quota of square pegs is ﬁlled,

not happened in my time we do not
look for it. to happen. “We” bank
on the seed returns to dent the mort-

that of the settlers. I never lose
sight of the fact that the settler is
.more important to my success than
I am to his; but with him it is just
the other way around, so naturally
we lean on each other. Just as it
should be.

Tests Prove Normal Silage Superior to Slover Silage

HE Michigan Agricultural College,
through steer feeding. experi-
ments conducted during the

past winter and forepart of this
spring, again proves the superiority
of good corn ensilage, containing
a large amount of corn, over
stover ensilage. The daily gain
per steer of 2.77 pounds for the
steers fed on normal silage, 1.99
pounds for the steers fed on stover
steers silage, with some corn re—
turned to it show without question
the difference in the feeding value.
The experiments conducted by the
Department of Animal Husbandry of
the College began December 22,
1922, and ended May 15 of this year.
Twenty—seven steers were used in the
feeding experiments, being divided
into three lots of 9 each. The cattle
fed were the second prize lot of feed—
ers purchased at the time of the In-
ternational Live Stock show last fall,
the prize—winning carload of twenty
costing $9.00 per hundredweight and
seven other steers which had. been
sorted from this carload previous to

the show were bought at 8c, making ,

the cost of the carload about $8.60
in Chicago. Weighted into the feed
lot at the College the cost was $9.36
per hundredweight.

To produce one pound of grain it
was necessary to feed lot 1: normal
corn silage, 13.896 pounds; linseed
meal, .759 pounds; clover hay .9270
pounds; shelled corn, 2.159 pounds.
Lot 2 was fed the following tovmake
a pound gain: 18.449 pounds of
co‘i'n stover silage; 1. 55 pounds of
linseed meal; 3.225 pounds of
shelled corn; and 1.689 pounds of
clover hay. Lots 1 and 2 received

of the experiment. Lot 3 received
the following amounts to produce
one pound gain: 16.453 pounds of
corn stover silage; linseed meal, .983
pounds; shelled corn, 4.439 pounds;
clover hay, 1.573 pounds. The total
amount of feed required to produce
a pound of gain was smaller in all

.three lots than last year.,

The total amount of feed con-

»qumed in the 144 days by the three

ltsawere: Let 1, 49915 pounds of.

ignite, e g; silage. 27.28. pounds

linseed meal, 7758 pounds of shelled
corn, and 3330 pounds of clever hay;
cost $295.29. Lot 2, 47673 pounds
of corn stover silage, 2728 pounds
of linseed meal, 8334 pounds of
shelled corn, 4365 pounds of clever
hay; cost $245.98. Lot 3, 45643
pounds of stover .corn silage, 2728
pounds of linseed meal. 12316
pounds" of shelled corn, and 4365
pounds of clever hay; cost
$294.12. Lot 3 received an amount
of shelled corn approximately equal
to that removed from the stover
silage they were consuming for the
ﬁrst 42 days and in addition to this
the same amount as lots 1 and 2
for the last 102 days.

~To arrive at the cost of feeds the
following prices were used; normal
corn silage, $4 per ton; corn stover
silage, $1.60 per ton; shelled corn,
70c per bushel; linseed meal, $60
per ton; clover hay, $10 per ton.

 

And in spite of the fact that there
was such a wide difference in the
cost of normal corn silage and corn
stover silage the steers fed on nor-
mah silage returned a. proﬁt of $5.30
per head, while both of’the other
lots showed a marked loss, namely
$5.35 per head for lots 2 and $9.02
per head for lot 3. \ ‘

The ﬁnancial statement covering
the experiments recently issued by
the College does not include labor
costs or interest 'and gives the total

costs of the three lots as: Lot 1,
$912.58; lot 2, $860.37; lot 3,
$919.74. Hogs were run with the

steers and were fed tankage worth
$70 per ton in addition to what they
were able to pick up. It cost $8.22
to produce a hundred pounds gain,

not crediting pork produced, in lot 1,

$9.52 in let 2 and $10.60 in let 3.

more hours a day you work it—the more you need Polarine. The
shorter the planting season—the more essential that you use Polarine.

WHY ? Because a tractor, being run for proﬁt, undergoing hard use, simply
cannot aﬂ‘ord the piling up of damage and the waste incidental to wrong
‘lubrication. Polarine reaches and protects every friction point. The grade
of Polarine indicated in the Chart as the correct lubricant for your machine
has been determined scientiﬁcally after study of the oiling system in your
particular make of tractor.
bearings—piston clearance—all these factors have been considered.

9-89 Oolarine

THE] PERFECT MOTOR, OlL

Ma in Five Grades

Polarine does not. break down. It maintains at working temperatures a com-
plete oil ﬁlm between piston and cylinder walls, avoiding “scored” cylinders
and assuring perfect compression. Change your motor oil very frequently
for greatest economy. ‘ ‘

Because Polarine is perfect in body it maintains the piston seal perfectly.
ThismeansthatthegradeofPolarinewhichour  staﬁ’ has re-
commended for your tractor will correctly lubricate your machine, insure
its satisfactory performance under all working conditions, prevent overheating
of cylinders with the resulting radiator troubles. It is heavy enough to
 ﬂuid friction.

Polarine is a primary product or the Standard on Company (Indiana). It is
manufactured by trained men in the ﬁnest reﬁneries in the world. The
high quality of Polarine is invariable and always maintained.

POLARINE is made for you. The harder you use your tractor, the

Though some men‘gre fondly say— 1

“Sin is a reproach to any people."

But the Jewish nation stubbornly
plunged into captivity. Most of us
have enough purity in our hearts
and honesty in our purposes to sense
the great Sins of our day. But we
differ on how to cure them. Our
fathers, intoxicated in the atmos-
phere of their sew—tound freedom,
dimmed on how to maintain seciel
freedom. This was evidenced by the
rules of restraint that obtained in
some places as over against liberty
of conscience in others. Brieﬂy.

which individualism ﬂourished;

brought about our national evils.
And this is our national reproach.

Bit back of nil these calls the

Why? Because treating the symp-

We have been putting our trust in

"And this is the judg-

plained. “An’ I reckon Joanno- ~

some mutton if there’s any to be. got,
an' I probably won’t be back until\
after dark." '

Aldousknew that he had more, to
say, and he went with him a few
steps beyond the camp. ,

And MacDonald continued in II
low, troubled voice:

"Be careful, Johnny. Watch yo’r-
self. I’m going to take a look over
into the next valley, an’ _I won’t be,
back until late. It wEsn’t a goat,
an’ it wasn’t a sheep, an' it wasn't

watch this trail, or Jay name ain't
Donald MacDonald. Mebbyhe came
ahead of us last night, an' mebby he
was here before that happened. Any-
way. be on your guard while I look
over into the next range.”

With that he struck at in the di-
rection of the snow-ridge, and for a

few moments Aldous steed looking ‘

after the tall picturesque ﬁgure until
it disappeared behind a clump of
spruce. he was telling him-
self that it was not the hunting sea-
son, and that it was not a prospector
whom they had seen on the snow-
ridge. As a matter of caution, there
could be but one conclusion to draw.
The man had been stationed there
either by Quads or FitzHugh, or
both, and had unwittingly revealed
himself.

He turned toward Joanne, who
had already begun to gather up the
supper things. He could hear her
singing happily, and as he looked
she pressed a ﬁnger to her lips and
threw a kiss to him. His heart smote
him even as he smiled and waved a
hand in response. Then he went to
her. How slim and wonderful she

looked in that glow of the setting—

sun, he thought. ‘ How white and
soft were her hands, how tender and
fraglo her lovely neck! And how
aelpless—how utterly helpless she

ould be if anything happened to
him and MacDonald! VVlth an of-
fort he ﬂung the thought from him.
On his knees he wiped the dishes and
pots and pans for Joanne. When
this was done, he seized an aim and
showed her how to gather a bed.
This was a new and delightful exper-
ience for Joanne.

“You always want to cut balsam
boughs when you can get them," he
explained, pausing before two small
trees. “Now, this is cedar, had this
is a balsam. Notice how prickly
and needlelike on all sides these
cedar branches are. And now look
at the balsam. The needles lay ﬂat
and soft. Balsam makes the best
bed you can get in the North, except
moss, and you've got to dry the
moss.”

For ﬁfteen minutes he clipped oi!
the soft ends of the balsam limbs
and Joanne gathered them in her
arms and carried them into the
tepee. Then he went in with .hor,
and showed her how to make the
bed. -He made it a narrow bed, and
a deep bed, and he knew that Joanne

in his face when .he had ﬁnished
tucking in the end of the last blank-
et.

“ “You will be as cozy as can be in
that,” he said.

“And you, John?" she asked, her
face ﬂushing rosily. “I haven‘t
seen another tent for you and Don-
ald.” ,

“We don't sleep in a tent du
the summer,” he said. “Just our
blankets—out in the open.”_

“But—if it should rain?“

“We get under a balsam or o
spruce or a thick cedar."

A little later they stood beside the
fire. It was growing dusk. The
distant snow-ridge was swiftly fad-
ing into a pale and ghostly [sheet in
the gray gloom of the night. ,1”

Donald was toiling.

- fire,” he said.

’ “I didn’t‘let you come,” he laugh- ‘

ed softly, drawing her to him. “You
came!” _ .

“And are you sorry?”

“No.” ' _

It was deliciously sweet to have
her tilt up her head and put her soft
lips to his, and it was still sweeter
when her tender hands sin-oked his
cheeks, and eyes and lips smiled
their love and gladness. He stood
stroking her hair, with her face lay-
ing warm and close against him, and
over her head he stared into the
thickening darkness of the spruce
and cedar copsos.
had piled wood on the ﬁre, and in its
glow they were dangerously illum-
inated. \With one of her hands she
was still caressing his cheek.

“When will Donald return?” she
asked. V

“Probably not until late,” he re-
pliod, wondering what it was that

had set a stone rolling down the side

of the mountain nearest to them.
“He hunted until dark, and may
wait for the moon to come up before
he returns.” -

“John—-—-”

"Yes, dean—J And mentally he
measured the distance to the nearest
clump of timber between them and
the mountain.

"Let’s build a big fire, and sit
down on the pannier canvases." v

His eyes were still on the timber,
and he was wondering what a man
with a riﬂe, or even 'a pistol, might
do at that space. He made a good
target, and MacDonald was probably
several miles away. -

“I’ve been thinking about the
“We must put it out,
Joanne. There are reasons why we
should not let it burn. For one
thing, the smoke will drive away:
any game that we may hope to see in
the morning.’.’ ' _

Her hands lay still against his
cheek.

“I—understand, John,” she repli-
ed quickly, and there was the small-
est bit of a shudder in her voice. “I
had forgotten. We must put it out!"

Five minutes later only a few
glowing embers remained where the
ﬁre had been. He had spread out

the pannier canvases, and now he .

seated hunself with his back to a
tree. Joanne snuggled close to him.

“It is much nicer in the
she whispered, and her arms reach:
ed hp about him, and her lips press-
ed warm and soft against his hand.
“Are you just a little ashamed of
me, John?”

" "Ashamed? Good heaven "

“Because,” she interrupted him,
“we have knoWn each other such a
very short time, and I have allowed
myself to become so very, very well
acquainted with you. It has all
been so delightfully sudden, and
strange, and I am—just as happy as
I can be. You don't thing it is im-
modest for me to say these things to
my husband, John—even if I have
only known him three days?”

He answered by crushing her so
closely in his arms that for a few
moments afterward she lay helpless-
ly on his breast. gasping for breath.
his brain was stars with the joyous
madness of possession. Never had
woman come to man more sweetly

,than Joanne had come to him, and

as he felt her throbbing and trembl-
ing against him he was ready to rise
up and shout forth a challenge to a
hundred Queries and Culver Ranns
hiding in the darkness of the moun-
tains. For a long time he held her
nestled close in his arms, and at in-
tervals there were silences between
them, in which they listened to the
glad tumult of their own hearts, and
the strange silence- that came to
them fro out of the still night.

It their ﬁrst hour alone—of
utter Oblivion to all else but them-

selves; to Joanne the ﬁrst sacrament __

"*4 AND A LITI‘LE CHILD SHALL

LKS, I’ve, often wondered what
 p ' \a childless home was like. A
‘3’ a" ‘. home where little ones never
 creep over the carpets, never upset
" , ' things; where the laughter or the
; aria at a little one is never heard.
 I‘ve often wondered what a home
 could be like without the little ones

in it. 
An' yet I find that many of our
young friends are gittin' married
“with just one idea—“No babies for

' . . .' go where we please an’ come back

eyes from her as s o stood there like‘

a goddess, buried almost, to her
knees in that ,wonderous mantle. He
found himself whistling with a very
light heart as she braided her hair
and afterward plunged her face in a
bath of cold water he had brought
from the lake. From that bath she

emerged like a glowing Naiad. Her.

eyes sparkled. Her cheeks were pink
and her lips full and red. ~ Damp lit-
tle tendrils of hair clung adorably
about her face and neck. For an-
other full minute Aldous paused in
his labors, and he wondered if Mac-
Donald was watching them from the
clump of timber. The bacon was
sputtering when Joanne rah to it and
rescuedit from» burning.

Dawn followed quickly after that
iirst break of day in the east, but
not until one could see a full riﬂe-
shot away did MacDonald return to
camp. Breakfast was waiting, and
as seen as he had ﬁnished the old
hunter went. after the horses. It
was ﬂve‘o'clock. and’ bars of the sun
were shooting over the tops of the
mountains when once more they
were in the saddle and on their way.

exhausted, and MacDonald himself
showed signs of tremendous physical
effort. Aldous could not question
him before Joanne.
MacDonald was strangely silent.

The proof of MacDonald's predich
tion concerning Joanne was in evi-
dence this second night. Every
bone in her body ached. and she was
'so tired that she made no objection
to going to bed as soon as it was
dark.

“It always happens like this,"
consoled old Donald, as she bade
him good-night. “Tomorrow you’ll

begin to get broke in and the next
day you won’t have any lameness at
all.”

their anxiety to protect the life and limb of

men and boys on America's great holiday,

well-meaning, but ill-advised individuals have
tried to make of Independence Day a celebration
 is hardly in keeping with the ’spirit in
Will it was created.

A “sale and ease Fourth” is all right and we
heartily endorse At, but it should well be remem-
bered by some elders that this day of all the
national holidays is o day of celebration—a day
when we ought to be proud of the old ﬂag and all
that it stands for which is good. upright. and red-
blooded. There are enough days in the year
when we can curb the ybunger generation and tell
them to be quiet, but this is the one day when
they should be allowed to make all of the noise
they want to and have ell‘tho fun possible.

To deprive a boy or girl of o (mp-pistol, a peck-
sge of small ﬁrecrackers, and some torpedoes
with which to frighten Aunt Molly half out of her
skin, would be curbing something which we like
to point to in our men and women as distinctly
American.

There is a class of blue-nosed individuals in
America who would prohibit anything that
brought ten to the heart at a child or o smile to
theiaco of a grown-up. Unfortunater they are
the ones who are promoting the “Safe end Sm
Fourth." We are glad we had the comma
of setting off giant lire—crackers, lighting whistl-
ing sky' rockets and running like mad away from
the two anvils which announced the coming of the
fourth in our old county seat home up in hitch-
igan, before the kill-joys arrived on the scene.

 

AOOLDBEASON.

0M all appearances the month of June is

running s race with May to break all local
weather records in the matter of average cold
temperature.

Everything in Michigan and the nearby states
is from two to three weeks retarded in growth.
and not one—half of the corn planting was coin-
pleted immchigan within two weeks of the tine
the seed is usually in the ground. Reports come
from several sections where replanting was neo-
essery because of the continued cold, wet weather.

Wheat and rye are in only fair condition. Oats
are very backward; The growth is short and in
Michigan and Wisconsin the crop is poor.~- ﬂay
alone has shown a great improvement during the
post twonee-ks, and postures throughout Mich-
igan are in good shape. The, condition of the
fruitisslsoveryencomnglngosthiskiudofo
season does not mitigate “not the productivity
and quantity of orchards and vines.

Taken all in all there is nothing to be nos-tics-
larly discouraged about in the crop reports from
‘ Michigan and with higher prices which we fully
anticipate this fall, the farmers of Michigan
shouldgeceive a great many million dollars more
tor their products than they did last year, even

We have felt for some little time that the farm—
ers of America were waking up tovtho fact that
they have been misled and have followed blindly
directions which have not worked to their proﬁt
during the past two or three years.

’ Mr. Means in clo‘ng his stateroom conﬁrms
this in a pointed paragraph, “The political agita-
tion to provide more tau-m credit is absolutely
against sound principles of building citizenship.

parcel of every good larmer. There is no lack of

HANDS on mm moms?

memos is facing agricultural suicide as a re-
sult of the loss of man pew on our forms,
says Senator T. E. Caraway, Democrat, of
 end he points out that the large num-
b« of tens folks going to the city is bound to
bring o food shortage which will send the prices
of agricultural products sky high at the expense
of the public!

This isnotexaetlys newdiscovery. We have
been pointing out for upwards of a year that the
inevitable result ‘of the migration of country folks
to the city factories could result in only one con-
dition and that was a shOrtage of food products
and a consequent rise in prices, which we have
hoped would put the ta.er back on an equal
basis witkhiscityconsinin net mings.

Senator Caraway, like some other misguided
senators. would have the government step in at
this time and ﬁx farm prices so that the public
would be rotected. He claims that it would be
tethebenedtofthetarmerandyegltisourob—r
servation, that when the government steps in.
practical business proﬁts step out, and we believe
that the farmer is today suﬂering more from mis-

’ guided leadership and government interference
Elan he is from o lack of market for his product. '

There is a law which mates-with the some
precision and is as unvnrying as the: of gravita-
tion. That law is the low or supply and demand.

The farmers of America are about to step into
their own after two or three of the most depress-
ing yours in their history. They are going to
step ins thk period of prosperity if the govern-
ment and those who claim to represent the farm—
er will adopt the poliq oi “Hands Oil!”

We has. not noticed during the past two or
three yours that the government has been partic-
ularly active in keeping down the prices paid to
union labor, the brick-layer, plasterer, carpenter;
plumber. railwayman or factory worker?

Arkansas is an agricultural state, not of very
great importance, but still there mould be enough
farmsrodm there to ask Senator Caraway-to
leave thing: alone and let the farm work itself
out without political assistance. This same
advice might be passed along to the senators of
one or more states adjacent to, Arkansas.

YERY' girl is a potential home-
maker. As such she should
. hold as her ideal, perfection in
. every phase of home—making. Much
concerning the standards of the
. housekeeper is told by a peep into
'her canning and preserving cup-
 board, for well ﬁlled shelves indicate
not only a general pride in all phases
of household duties, but a regardfor
the health and consequent happiness
.of'the family. The canning club of-
fers to a girl the double opportunity
to learn this type of home work in a
pleasurable and scientiﬁc way, and
at the same time to relieve her moth-
er of some of the busy season’s du-
ties.

Canning, drying and brining are
the principal methods resorted to in
the preservation of food stuffs; of

' these, canning is the most desirable,

for it keeps the products in acondi-
tion more like that of food' freshly
cooked, and furthermore, ready to
be served on short notice.

The One-Period Cold—Pack method
of canning, which is considered the
'Abest and safest. for all meats, vege-
; V bios and fruits, is outlined in the

are listed as “protective” foods
necessary to health.

First, vegetables constitute our
main mineral supply for they contain
many mineral salts such as iron, cal-
cium and phosphorus, which' are
needed by the bones, muscles, nerves

. and blood.

Second, many of them contain
vitamins which promote growth, pro-
tect us against such diseases as
scurvy and some nerve disorders,

and which help to prevent general.

malnutrition.

Third, the cell walls of the vege-
table are bulky, and they increase
our bodily eﬁlciency by the laxative
action which they induce.

Spinach, turnip tops, young car-
rots and tomatoes rank high among
the vegetables, for canned as well as
dried fresh, they ﬁll some essential
diet requirements.

’THE USES OF FRUITS“ THE'
BET

AND in hand with vegetables in
H our'diet plans go fruits. They

yield mineral salts for proper-
functioning of the blood, and their
acids stimulate the digestion of the
rest of our food. Their color lends
attractiveness to the meal, and they
make ideal simple desserts.

Since vegetables and fruits are so
necessary to our diet needs, we
should so plan our meals that we
have at least some fruit and a gen-
erous serving .of vegetables other
than potatoes, at least once a day.
Furthermore since it is not econom-
ical to buy’lrenh products through-
out the year, we must try to can, dry
or otherwise preserve then preced-
ing the eight months during which
the high prices prevail.

GANNING EQUIPMENT

1. Hot Water-Bath Outﬁt: A
home-made outﬁt may be made by
using a washboilerp a new garbage
pail,alardpail,atlnpailoranyoth—
er receptacle with a tight ﬁtting cov-
er, deep enough to permit the water
to stand at least one inch oven the
top of the jars. A falsehottom or
rack should be made to ﬁt the can-
nor.
as to permit free circulation of water
beneath the jars. It should keep
the jars one inch from the bottom of
the canner. For a wash-boiler, the
simplest rack is made of strips of
lath with cleat nailed across the
under side of each end. Attaching a
small piece of iron will aid material-
ly in weighing down the wooden
frame. For round corners a false
bottom may be- made by punching
holes in an 0 tin kettle or
cake tin. ,

Avoid using straw or towels in the
bottom, which will notth water
to 'circulate under jars. In using
this type of canner the water should
be heated before theﬁlled jars are
put in place. If the cover for your
canner does not ﬁt tightly, place a
cloth over the cancer and press the
cover over this.

MIARES THE LIQUID BOILS IN THE

ANTS

NTS are attracted by various
' foods substances, especially fats
' and sugars; 'therefore, these
foods should be kept in closed con-
tainers and crumbs or small amounts
spilled on shelves or tables cleaned
of! at once.

The most effective way of ridding
a house of ants is to ﬁnd and destroy
the nest by treating it with carbon
bisulphid, benzine, gasoline or kero—
sene, or, if the nest itself cannot be
found, often times the ants may be
traced to the opening or crack
through which they enter. Squirt-
ing kerosene into it or plugging it

-with cotton saturated with the oil

will in many cases drive them away.

A temporary expedient for con-
trolling ants is tor moisten small
sponges with sweatened water and
place themvwhere the ants are most
numerous. Attracted by the sugar
they will crawl into the sponge and
may be killed by dropping into boil-
ing water. The sponges should be
baited again with the sweetened wat—
er, and if necessary, set in different
places until the colony leaves the
house.

A move effective but also more
dangerous method is to moisten the
spongue with sirup made by dissolv-
ing \one pound of sugar in one quart
of hot water and adding 125 grains
(about 1,4 ounce) of arsenate of
soda. Some of these ants apparent-
ly carry this poisoned liquid back to
the nest and feed it to the others
there, as gradually killing the en—
tire col ny. This mixture must be
used with the greatest of care, as it
is, poisonous to both. human beings
and domestic animals. . .

The big feature of our May number is Prof.
Foreman’s “Vitamine” article, which announces the
wonderful eifect of Vitamine foods on Baby Chicks.
He gives actual facts and illustrations of results al-
most miraculous when Vitamines were supplied.
Luckily, these Vit‘amine foods are common to every
household, and Pref. Foreman explains which ones
to use.

, AN IDEAL CERTIFIED DAIRY
‘  FARM" - ‘ ‘ ’
RE“ is .a certiﬁed“ dairy farm
near Rochester, New _ York,
, which is uniquointhe degree to
which intensiﬁed dairy farming may
be successfully carried on. The 41

grade cows, giving on theaverage of
2% gallons per day, are kept in the

stabloAhroughout the season. The»
farm consists of 220 acres, of. which

45 acres are given over to silage
com, 50 acres towinter wheat, 35
acres to hay, and 15 acres to pota-
toes. ,. There _ are 40 acres of
woods, 5 of which are given
‘ovq- to pasture and there are 14
acresegiven over ’to rotated pasture.
Silage and hay furnish the roughage
during the summer, while grain is
fed throughout the season. With
the extreme intensity used it is not
economical to raise an. young stock.
for every cowin the barn must, be a
producer. Under these conditions,
grade cows are best adapted for as
soon as there is a decline in her milk
production the cow may be promptly
sold without great loss. The equiv-
alent of 3% men is required to oper-
ate this dairy. ‘ ‘

Dairy farmers who are. interested
in certiﬁed milk plants will find
much to study at the National Dairy
Exposition which takes place at
Syracuse, New York, October 5th to
13th inclusive. The exhibit of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture will occupy 7,500 sq. ft.
Factory and machinery exhibits will
be displayed on a ﬂoor space approx-
imately 65,000 sq. ft., while 25,000
sq. ft. of ﬂoor space will be occupied
by the exhibit of supplies and equip-
ment for the dairy and barn.

An added feature ofrinterest in
the Exposition this year is the
World’s Dairy Congress which holds
two days' sessions at Washington,
October 2nd and 3rd, followed by a
day at Philadelphia under the aus-
pices of the National Dairy Council,
then adjourning to Syracuse where

the remaining sessions of the Con?

gress will be held at the Exposition.
RAMSEY AND BAKER HEREFORD
SALES «

W0 most important Hereford
sales were held week before
last. One was held by Warner

Ramsey‘ of Atherton and the other
by Robert Baker of St. Clair, both

sales being conducted under the very ’

able direction of T. F. B. setham and
Sons. The Ramsey sale was held on
Thursday, June 7th, and the offer-
ing was composed of 35 head of high
quality Herefords. The high price
paid was $260 and the lowest $85
‘After the sale there was a wienie
roast and moving pictures at the
Ramsey farm cottages on Lake Hur-
on. Those who wished remained at
the Ramsey farm throughout the
night. Many did this and then
drove to the Baker sale on Friday.
There were 35 head sold at the Bak-
er sale, $277.50 being the top paid
and $60 the lowest. The attend-
ance was only fair at both auctions
but all were there to buy. At both
places before the sales interesting
and instructive talks were given by
'I‘. F. B. Sotham, Commissioner of
Agriculture L. Whitney Watkins,
Prof. George A. Brown head of the
Department of Animal Husbandry,
'M A. C., and Col. Fred Reppert,

who cried the sales. Lunches of

7 Eariiripe beef were served at both

places.

CREAM SHOULD TEST 85 PER
CENT OR MORE

Will you please tell me at what
testing point is there the most money
in Cream for the'farmer who does
sell" his cream to the creamery, and
why? Some say when cream tests
from 25 to 35 per cent there is the
most in‘ it for the farmer, others say
trom‘SE to 50 per cent. I am very
much interested and would like to
know at exactly what point—.W. H.
I... Balding, Mich.
-—From a general standpoint it is
decidedly in the farmer’s fa
separate (ream that tests (35 per cent
or above. The reasons are as fol-

‘ sum: IN CREAM SEPARATOB/

I have some cows that have been
fresh for some time. Milk seems all
right only when I wash the separator
it is so slimy can hardly get it out of
the dishcloth. It goes through a
strainer all right. What is the"
cause and is there a cure?—W. S.,
Morley, Mich. . . l .-

—We get the idea that the milk is I
not slimy when drawn and the Blithe

' is diﬁicult to remove from the 

ator. I know only a few things
that could cause such conditions.
First, that the separator bowl has
been standing in the sun and 'is hot
at the time the milk is run through
or that \the slime is allowed to dry on
the bowl. In the case the milk is.
slimy before drawn, the cow is evi-
dently suffering from some added in-
ﬂamation or the milk has become
contaminated with the ropy milk
organism. Be sure to scald the
separator bowl thoroughly after
washing and wash bowl after ,each
separation. All utensils should be
thoroughly scalded, especial care be-
ing given to the. seam8.——P. 8. Lucas, '

PIGS SEEM TO BE SUFFERING '-
FROM EOZEMA

 

 

 

I am seeking information in re-
gard to a litter» of ﬁve pigs just two
weeks old. They are growing nicely
and apparently doing well with the
exception of one thing. _ They seem,
to have a sort of eczema inside the
ﬂaps of their ears, this does not run
into the canal of the ear but seems to
seat in the inside of the ﬂaps of ears
and also slight signs of the malady
appear directly along the back bone
and around the roots of tail. It
looks very much like dirt and dirt
scabs and has a tendency to crack.
They are beded in oat straw and
have free run and are not in muddy
place. Sow shows no signs of this
disease and it is her ﬁrst litter and
she had 12 and raised 10 and is in
good condition—7F. D. .M., Cedar
Springs. '

—In all probability these page, are
suffering frOm a squamous eczema;
sometimes called “soot of young
pigs." This form of eczema is us-
ually seen in pigs which are kept in;
unsanitary quarters. I would sug—
gest the application of zinc oxide
ointments to the affected parts once
daily, usually two or three applica-
tions will suffice—John P. Hutton,

BILO FILLING NO LONGER A
DEW

ILO ﬁlling is generally conceded

the hardest and most disagree-
- able woman: the farm. At least
we have found it so on the Benoit
Creamery Company terms. where We
no 24 large- sﬂb'o to food 800‘ head
of dairy cattle;

Occasionally. some discouraged
tamer writes on article.r deplorin;
the fact that. silo ﬁlling is» a; '
breaking and usually a nasty wet
job. Orr this tam we no longer con--
sider silo ﬁlling s drudgery, as tor
the last three years we have used
the Running Ensilege Harvester,
manufactured by the Morgan Har-
vester 00.. of Minneapolis». Minn,
which takes out. the» disagreeable
part oi! putting. ’up eneilage. Not
only that, but iron: an economical
standpoin these harvesters consti-
tute a. so 3' that is well worth con—
sideration. The eian men we
had in the ﬁeld; pitching and load—
ing eornstalks, prior to the use of
these mechinesyhave: been. eliminated.
The saving at twine is also a big?
item. ‘

The harvester cuts the corn into-
silage in the ﬁeld and elevates it
into high board wagons and thus

entirely does away with all handling, '

oi the corn bundles. When one box
is ﬁlled, another wagon drives up.-
and the ﬁlled one Is hauled into the
silo, into which the silage is blown,

/ Another. advantage is that the com

in the term 01 silage is taken away
as it is harvested. which is far ahead
of the’ old method oi. having corn
bundles left in the ﬁeld to become
wet ,snd dirty. The corn does not

touch the ground. to mix with dirt; :
the sun has no chance to dry it otter :

it is cut; when operations cease for
thovnoon hour, or a shower of. raih,
the ﬁeld is clean.

W111 you please tell me what could

be/the’ trouble-“with our two neigh-
bors’ hens. They have moat scraps,‘

milk and dlierent grains tooat but
they eat ehc‘h other. sometimes they
begin in the thigh and around the
vent and pick so the intestines drag
on the ground. They 'are Rhoda '13-
land Roda—0. H. (3., Manton, Mich.

-—The form of Canaballsm-that is,

appearing among your neighbors
ﬂocks is not uncommon. The trouble
originates where individuals in the
ﬂock develop a condition known as
Inversion of the Uterus due to the

strain of production, or it may be

Inverslor of the Cloaca caused by in-
testinal parasites. This reddened
area attracks the birds and once the
hens get a taste of blood this trouble
may become quite prevalent.

It is usually a good practice-to
give the whole ﬂock Epsom salts at
the rate of one pound per hundred
hens. If the trouble is induced by
constipation, the salts will-usually
reduce the mortality and if there are
one‘ or more individuals in the ﬂock
that appear to be straining one of
these birds should be killed and dia-
gnosed for intestinal worms. The
worms will usually be found in the
Ceca or in the intestinal tract. Oil
of American worm seed and turpen-
tine using one teaspoonful of each to
every tweIVe birds, is recommended
for this latter trouble. ‘Epsom salts
should immediately follow this treat-
ment and lime should be liberally
'used on the dropping boards two or
three days following—E. C. Fore-
man, Associate Professor of Poultry
Husbandry, M. A. C.

FIRELESS BROODERS
HE flreless brooder is very useful
in its place. Chickens have
been rulned by it thru the lack
of thought of their owner, and chick—
ens have been saved by it. For ex-
ample, one over—anxious amateur
piled the blankets on top of her ﬁre-
less, and when a plaintive cheep dis-
terbed her rest at night, she found
the chicks wet with their own breath
under the weight and warmth of the
blankets. Another lady used felt to
cover the top of her brooder,. and
thus shut out ventilation. Fireless
breeders are meant for small groups
of chicks. They must not be over-
crowded. For the small brood they
have a place to ﬁll.

We like the round cheese box. It
will hold ﬁfteen chicks nicely, has no
corners and is easy to work with. If
a square box is used, the corners
should be rounded with heavy card-
board. (Some types of smooth roof-
ing, if it does not smell, are hseful.)
Tin may also be used, but the sharp
edges must be folded down if this is
used. A tomato tin with edges turn-
ed is about the rlgh size.

The idea of the ﬁreless brooder' is
to make a temporary mother. Chicks

like to feel the warmth and pressure '

on their backs of their mother’s
breast. The ﬂreless substitute is a
box with a. few holes cut for ventila-
tion just below the pad, and a sag-
ging cheese—cloth on top on which
are placed according to the weather,
pads of old wool blankets or light
comforters of cheese—cloth padded
loosely with cotton as a baby’s quilt
is made. ,This retains the chick’s
own body heat and gives ventilation.
The cheesecloth is shaped to .ﬁt the
box, and is preferably held In place
by a wire running around the out-
side of the box, with its ends looped
together. The principle is the same
as tying a cloth on a bottle, but the
cloth bags in the middle. Cleats on
the inside of the box are placed there
to hold the pad up. Some people
put a hem in the cheesecloth,” and
run the wire thru this like a draw-
string. Then the wire ls placed on
the cleats and fastened securely,

“making as.lt were a mattress resting

on.the cleats.

This brooder is placed inside a box
enough larger to give the chicks
some runway in front. The twO are
kept in the house. When ready to
ﬂee, the ﬂoor of the brooder is cover-
ed for an inch or two with clover or
alfalfa chaff, hollowed out in the
center like a nest. A fringe of‘wool
or an! cloth that will not revel 
tacked across; a openl *

_FOR SEED PURPOSES
. 4A few, maybe fourdears ago, we
got some Seed potatoes, mostly small
cuttings and peelings of, Petoskey

' V .russets with a few white potato peel-

yin‘gs- mixed in. We experimented
with these and saved the seed until
ﬁve have raised several crops from it.
The ﬁrst cropdid not get ripe before
it was ' frost biten. Since then we
had several crops, sometimes fair,
sometimes not so good. Never on
thetbest of potato ground. Several
times they have been blight stricken.
Last year’s crop was hit by both
frost and blight. The potatoes are
it): very poonquality. They are small
,, size. From this description would-
you advise they could be planted
again and expect them to yield good
and be a better quality potato if giv-
en better soil and better care? What
Would the certiﬁed Petoskey russets
cost per bu.? Also state name, and
price on some earlier potato it you
cam—0. E. W., Wilmot, Michigan.

'—Under ﬁeld cbnditions it is never

satisfactory to use potato peelings
for seed purposes. It is true that
under ideal soil conditions such as
might be maintained in a well culti-
vated garden that fair yields can oft-
entimes be secured by planting ' e'
peelings to which are attached small
pieces of potato with eyes. It' is
recommended that under ﬁeld condi-
tions, seed pieces average at least
1% to 2 ounces in weight; and that
they be cut blocky or compact so
that they will not dry out quickly in
the soil. Every seed piece should
have at least one or two strong eyes.

I would recommend that you sve-
cure a new lot of seed this year, pre-
ferrahly seed that was certiﬁed in
1922. Such seed was grown under
very careful cultural conditions and
was inspected twice during the grow—
ing season by men trained in potato
diseases. It was also inspected in
the bin for uniformity of size, true-
ness to type, freedom from scab, etc.
The planting of certiﬁed seed is a
very good form of potato crop insur-
ance since it has been proven by
many demonstrations and tests in
Michigan as well as in other states
that certiﬁed seed outyields uncerti-
ﬁed stock by approximately 60 bush.
els per acre. Furthermore, the
quality of the product grown from
certiﬁed seed is ordinarily far super-
ior to that grown from common pota-

l toes.

I“ if? r  'v

 

    

  
  
  
   

/'

  

  
   

  
 
 

No doubt the poor yields that you
have been securing from your pota-
toes is due to the fact that your po-
tatoes are "infested" with diseases
known as mosaic, or leaf roll which
live over from year to year in the
seed and produCe inferior yields of
poor quality. ‘

Certiﬁed seed can be procured at
'a very reasonable price and this is an
unusually good opportunity to invest
in this high .class seed. It is doubt-
ful if the seed will be as low priced
another season. You can procure
certiﬁed seed of the Late Petoskey
’(Russet Rural.) variety from the
Seed Department of the Michigan

State Farm Bureau, Lansing, Michi-’

gan or from the Michigan Potato
Growers’ Exchange, Cadillac, Mich.
These two organizations are the 0111—
cial selling- agencies for Michigan
Certiﬁed Seed Potatoes; .
For an early potato I would re-
commend the Irish Cobbler variety.
Certiﬁed seed of this variety can be
secured from .the Michigan Potato
Growers’ Exchange, Cadillac. The
price of certiﬁed Cobblers is approx-
imately $1.75 per bushel f. o.‘ 1).,

' port’s insurer u:qu ~

BY W. W. FOOTE

' MERS who own their farms
clear from mortgages are much
more hopeful than a year ago,
but they realize that many things
can happen to the crops and unusual
interest is. felt in the corn crop of
the great corn belt. The most im~
portant recent event in Michigan is

' the permanent organization of the

Michigan Fruit Growers, Inc.,»a state
fruit exchange, with headquarters
to be opened at once. Delegates
from twenty-seven fruit shipping as-
sociations in western Michigan were
appointed to attend the meeting in
Benton Harbor. The boom in prices

' for Spring lambs aﬂects one of the

leading Michigan industries, as does
the animated demand for spring wool
clips. Wool is being contracted in
the west largely at 45 to 50 cents
a pound and northern California
wool is going on the market as high
as 55 cents. There is a lively call
in the range country for breeding
ewes, but most of them are held 0!
the market for future breeding. The
domestic trade of the country is ex-
tremely large, while the foreign
trade of the United States shows the
balance of trade? against us. Total
merchandise experts for the ﬁve
months ending with May were valued
at $1,628,175, 477, while the imports
Were valued at 1,765,757,586, show-
ing :a balance against us of $137,-
582,109. The total net imports of
gold and siIVer for the live months
amounted to $91,241,685. The 5total
meohandise and gold and silver bal-
ance against us Was $228,823,744.

‘ L‘Stockma‘n have good reason to seal
encouraged over recent sharp ad-
vances of prices tor cattle, hogs and
sheep, due to materially reduced re-
ceipts in the Chicago market. VVlth-
in a Week prime hogs advanced 50
cents, while prime spring lambs went
from $1d.85 to $16.35, and cattle
rose as much as 25 to 50 cents.

Wheat Trade Broadens

For several weeks the volume of
speculative business in wheat and
other grains on the Chicago Board of
Trade has shown a marked falling off,
but recently trade in wheat has
broadened out, and prices have been
sensitive to crop reports. The buy-
lug side .of wheat has been more fav-
ored much of the time, and fair ad—
vances have taken place on some
days, prices at last having risen
higher than a year ago. Corn, how-
ever, was in the strongest position
of all the cereals, 'due to the disap-
pearance of the greater part of the

. corn in sight and a good demand. A

Well—informed newspaper man with
agricultural experience who is back
from an automobile trip through the
com districts of :Illinois, Indiana. and
Iowa, says that do about every place
in these states farmers and grain
dealers reported no corn left for
:He added that ‘in many
places where at .this .time .of the
year about 10 per cent of the corn is
usually left, they are shipping it 'in
to asset the feeder demand. There
is a great deal of grinding going on
by owners of attrition mills, the us-
ual mixture :being about three parts
oats and one ,part «corn. The feed-
ers claim, however, that this does
not make a satistactory substitute
The ‘foreign de—
mand for American wheat and ﬂour
has been much greater than a year
ago, .while exports of corn are un-
usually small as are those of oats. A
short time ago the visible corn sup-
ply in this country was down to
around 4,000,000 bushels, compar-'

"ing with 30,313,000 bushels a year

ago. That o'f oats wa about 11,—
000,000 bushels, comparing with
47,272,000 bushels a year ago; and
that of rye 16,000,000 bushels. doom-

Choice Cattle Sell High

The general employment of labor
at the highest wages ever known
tends to increase the demand for the
choicer cuts of beef, and the better
offerings of beef «cattle have been
selling extremely high at times when
the numerous lots of light weight

grassy cattle were slow at weak

prices. Last week’s Chicago re—
ceipts of cattle fell much short of
those for the preceding week and for
the corresponding week last year,
and a. normal local and shipping de-
mand brought abOut advances .in the.
greater part or the consignments, al-
though the best beevos tailed this
time to show the rise that took place
in the principal part of the steers.
Prime heavy steers sold at $11 to
$11.25, and choice yearlings brought
$10.50 to $11.25. A liberal share
of-the steers found buyers at $9 to
811, good lots going at $10 and up-
ward, medium 'to good- steers at
$8.75 to $9.05 and common to lair
steers at $8 to $8.70, while inferior
little steers sold for $5 to $7.90.
Butcher com and heiiers sold re-
spectively at $4 to $8.130 for the
former and $6 to $10 for .the latter,
while canner and cutter cows «went
at $2 to $3.95 and bulls at $3.50 to
$8.50. Calves found an outlet at $5

‘ to $11, and there was a limited call

for inferior to choice stockers and
feeders at $5.50 to $8.75, largely at
$6.25 to $7.75. The best feeders
were hard to ﬁnd and were held at
higher ﬁgures. Looking backward,
it is recalled that a year ago the
best beef steers sold at $0.75, two
years ago at $9.15 and ﬁve years
ago at $18. ,
Rally in ﬂog {Prices

Following the recent numerous
declines in prices brought about by
the largest markstings ever seen in
corresponding weeks in past years,
the receipts fell off to such an extent
that sellers were able to obtain sev-
eral advances, the demand being bet-
ter. As usual, Monday is the day of
much the largest supplies in the
market, and the opening d! the week
is almost certain of lower prices.
There is little that .is new .in the .hog
industry, and everybody knows that
early estimates of the supply in hog
growing districts were far :too rlow.
It is possible, .of nouns, that market-
ings will doll so! so snob an m
as to bring about a higher scale at
prices, but such large supplies as
have been offered in recent weeks
can hardlydail 'to lower salues. There
has been a marked narrowing of
prices of late, and both :prime light
and the best heavy butcher hose sold
at top prices. More hogs than us—
ual have been received in eashern
packing points of late, and this ex-
plains the smaller purchases made
in the Chicago market .by eastern
shippers. A great many hogs ’
light weight are going to market be-
cause owners fear further reductions
in prices, and most stock feeders are

.not disposed to hold their bags. alter

they weigh 200 pounds. Relatively
low prices favor consumption of hog
pro-ducts, fresh and cured, and 'ex-
ports of lard and cured hog meats
continue for heavier than a year ago.
The stocks of meats in cold storage
are far heavier than 'a month ago or
a year ago. but the lard supply is far
smaller.  ribs are "selling
greatly below prices of a year ago.

Mtg of lambs

Recent meipts or spring lambs in
Chicago Were extremer meager, be:-
ing the smallest over soon in June,
and sharp advances in prices .took
place. Far too few lambs are mark-
eted to meet trade requirements, and
at times prices have advanced to a
point that checked sales in the re-
tail meat markets of the country.
The ﬁrst shipment. of Idaho spring
lambs of the year arrived ‘orr the
Chicago Market recently and sold
for $16.25 per 100 pounds,‘ their
average weight being 66 pounds.
Idaho ﬂock masters are in the habit
of marketing high-grade lambs, and
they are sure of meeting with a good
demand. Native lambs have been

selling at $11 to $146.25, according to

quality, nd prime western ran 8
lambs sol up to $145.35, whereasga
year ago prime lambs soloist $12.50.
Following the yearly custom, the
preﬁx “spring” is new omitted in
speaking of this year’s lambs, while
‘last year’s lambs are termed yearl-
ings. Sheep are scarce, and ewes
.sell at "$3.25 to $ﬁ.10,:'breeding ewes
being in demand at $5.50 to $6.50.
Yearling wethers sell at $11.25 to
$14.75. There is a growing demand
for good breeders, with «not many on
sa 9.

W‘KEAlI‘ .

Wheat continued week during the
‘founight closing June 16th, and
prices are lower, although several
advances were made during the
period. There is a dull tone in all
markets but it seems to be more

. pronounced at Detroit and advances

when they did come were not as
great as the upturns :in other mar-
kets. A decrease in the milling de-
mand is blamed for the dullness at
Detroit. . The ﬂour mark-ct at this
point has been dull fordlhe pas-t oer-
eral weeks and milleos are buying
«only enough grain to take care of
immediate needs. The Detroit mar-
ket  had a .good demand from
the east and south for wheat dor
milling but there has been to. serious
falling DE in this demand during the
past .iew weeks. This added to the

. decrease in local cash demand has

given the market quite a satdxaok.
Dealers found they could not follow
the advances made in Chicago and

cash demand everything :in the mar-

INSURE AGAINST IT NOW!

HE Citizens’ Mutual Automobile Insurance Comp any of Howell, is continuing its remarkable record
I - Thecompany is now starting its ninth seaSon and has met all of its claims promptly having paid
over 12,600. It 1s a Mlchlgan' company and has carried insurance for such men as e'x-Gover’nor Rich the
late Governor Warner, ex-Governor Sleeper, and many of the leading bankers, lawyers county oﬂ’ib'ers
busmess men and farmers. It has saved its polity holders, in comparison with stock i'ates many mil-,-
hon dollars since its organization. ' ’

Mutual insurance has proven a success in America. The ﬁrst American ﬁre in
was a mutual company organized by Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia in 1752. Itslilainhieﬁogblﬁtih}:
uous 1n operation and highly successful and now has net assets of .more than a million dollars. Profes-
sor John A. Gilmore of Virginia, after careful study, announces that there were about 1550 stock ﬁre in-
surance companies started business in the United States and 1300, or 84 per cent, have either failed re-
tired or reinsured. He announces further that there has been about 2900 mutual ﬁre insurance c,om-
panles organized and 700 of these have failed, retired or reinsured, leaving about 2200 still
1n existance and doing business today. 84 per cent of the stock companies have failed or retired and
only 24 per cent of the mutuals, a splendid showing for the mutu'als. An authority on insurance has
said that no mutual company that accumulated gross assets of $200,000 or a cash surplus of $100,000

has ever failed in the history of the country. I
