“$W00 IS YALER OF 1922
~ MICHIGAN DAIRY
H. BROUGHTON, Director of.
the Bureau of Dairying of the
State Department of Agricult-
ure, has just completed compiling
ﬁgures on the milk produced in
mo in 1922.

lﬂo ﬁgures show that the total
hm produced in Michigan in 1922
no 3495, 627,169 pounds. or an
increase of 391, 929 679 pounds over
the 1921 production. Bio ﬁgures
show the amount 0! milk used for
each dairy purpose and indicates
that there was an increase in the
amount of milk consumed for every
purpose except for cheese manufact—
two.

There was a marked increase in
the quantity of creamery butter
manufactured from Michigan milk,
although the dairy but“: dropped
off. There was a marked reduction
in the manufacture of brick cream
cheese and farm made cheese al-
though an increase in the amount 01
cottage cheese was reported. An
increase of nearly 100 per cent in
the amount of milk evaporated in
the state is shown from 1921 to
1922. The amount of milk used for
direct consumption and that used on
farms for call and swine feeding was
also much larger in 1922 than 1921.

“Michigan is fortunate in being
able to obtain these ﬁgures so ac-
curately,” says Mr. Broughton, who
is authority for the statement that
Michigan is the only state which has
a system whereby they can check up
on the milk used for every purpose
by every creamery and milk peddler
in the state. This is made possible
through the state’s licensing system

Access Retailers of Mixing

,Previons to the meeting all the
large been shippers at New York
were determined that some action
must be taken to stop the practice

of unscrupulous importers and re-
' tailors of mixing inferior oriental
bean-s, imported from Japan, China
and Mongolia, with American—grown
beans of recognized quality. Ac-

cording to food experts, the import-

ed beans do not cook well and when
mixed with domestic beans it is prac-
tically impossible to obtain a satis-
factory dish. : These mixed beans
have been sold in many places as
domestic grown.

Under the plan of the association,
every bag of beans will be stamped
with an American label and. the
name of the state in which they were
produced. The association will
guarantee each bag so marked to
cook satisfactorily, a warranty which
. the importers of foreign beans have
constantly refused to make under
any circumstances, say the shippers.

O. L. Deming of the stall at the

President of Live

recent interviews to the Press,

Everett C. Brown, President of

the National Live Stock Ex-
chooxe, is quoted as saying that a
.large part of the blame for hogs be—
‘ing $1 90 under the cost of produc-
tion is due to “co-opera.tive selling
agencies.”

He further points out that while
hogs are losing money, cattle and
sheep are making money and that
hes prices are high in Canada. Since
the cooperative selling agencies
have handled relatively few cattle
and sheep as compared with hogs

and since there are no “co-ops" in
. Canado, he concludes they are the
‘ cause for the low price of hogs, and
urges them to return to the “old
lino" commission ﬁrms.

through advertising, to eat more raisins, walnuts,

and trebled their old time market.

New York Commercial, a trade jour-
ool which has fostered the idea of
averting the bean industry, was
present at the meeting and spoke
to the shippers on “The Value of
Advertising.” Benjamin Gerks, who
spoke recently before the Michigan
Bean Jobbeu’ Association meeting
in Flint, reviewed the work or that
meeting and told of the enthusiasm

of the California and Colorado job-
bers tor the advertising campaign.
Under the plan adopted, the ship-
pers pledged themselves to pay $300
each toward the campaign with the
understanding that the number of
bag beans, purchased ﬁrst hand from
growers and shipped, is to be record-
ed and that each man is to pay nine-
tenths of a cent towards advertising

 

 

MICHIGAN FIRST IN NAVY BEAN PRODUCTION!
HEbean growers of Michigan ought to be proud of the fact

that altho the various state and federal agencies have been
handing the palm of ﬁrst place in the production of navy

beans to other states these past two or three years, when it came
to passing the hat for contributions to the very commendable
fund for national advertising and it was apportioned on the basis
of 9-10 of one cent per hundred pounds, based on the 1921 crop
estimates, Michigan won ﬁrst place, tea-wit:

for each bag of beans he ships, which
he purchased directly from the grow-
er. At the end of six months the
shippers either pay the difference be—
tween half of the $300 subscribed
and the amount they owe on the
basis of number of bags shipped, or
if they have shipped less than the
quota, the association refunds them
the difference.

The known bean production of the
several states for 1921 was taken,
and the national quota worked out
on the basis of nine-tenths of a cent
per bag. The quota for each state
was established by the amount of
beans it produced during the same
year.

Spread News of Success

Word of the success of. the New
York program was wired to the
Michigan, California and Colorado
associations. The campaign, if und-
ertaken, will run for ten months
from October, 1923, to August, 1924
The advertising copy will emphasize
the value of the bean as a body and
tissue-building food. According to
statistics presented at the meeting,
the bean represents a 23 per cent
protein content, a ratio much higher
than in almost all foods. In this
connection, an effort will be made to
demonstrate the value of getting
beans of good quality.

Michigan Member Expelled

That the bean industry intends to '
bring about 111e1'cl1a11dising reforms
along with the advertisiig campaign
is indicated in the announcement of
the Michigan Bean Jobbers' Associa-
tion that Hart Brothers of Saginaw,
Mich., were expelled from the assoc—
iation on a charge of having shipped
a carload of beans to Ragon Bros,
Evansville, Ind., as Michigan grown
beans which contained beans foreign
to Michigan. The beans were per-
sonally inspected by the association’s
inspector, Burkhart, in the ware-
house of Ragon Brothers, Evansville,
and were found not to be Michigan
grown. Samples were submitted to
the arbitration committee, which has
sustained Inspector Burkhart.

Market statistics show that local
cattle receipts for the month of
June were the smallest since 1917.
Light receipts make for higher
prices..Likewise the receipt of sheep
for June were the lightest in more
than 30 years, so these good prices
were due to sensationally light runs
and not to the fact that the “co-ops”
have not yet invaded those depart-
ments of the market as fully as they
have the hog department.

The same market statistics show
that‘mere hogs were on the Chicago
market this June than ever before in
the history of June markets. A
similar condition occurred in 1911,
with similar edect, 'and that was

long before ecu—operative marketing '

was thought of. Too many begs

Between last November and the

Expenence of Grain Growers of Iowa Show That It 13 More Profitable to’ Stack Small Grains and
Thresh Later 1n Season Than to Haul Right to Machine From Field

13y WALTER J. HUNT

 

 

OUT in Iowa there were many farmers 'asking this
question whichis no doubt uppermost in'the minds .

of many of the farmers in our own state.

A canvass

was made of the veteran grain growers of Iowa to ﬁnd
out what their experiences had been and the lo'wa

Homestead published this article ”on the results.

The -

veteran grain growers of that state in the great wheat
belt have found that results are in favor of threshing
from the stack. Every reader who raises much small
grain should read this article with interest as the grain
growers state in detail why they ﬁnd it more proﬁtable

to stack their small grain.

We would like to hear

from any of our readers who have noted their exper-

ience over a period of years.

 

 

two extra handlings necessary in the
former method make it a more ex-
pensive proposition. However the lat-
ter requires about six or seven more

men with wagons and about that,

many more pitchers in the ﬁeld.
Often it is necessary to help around
the neighborhood for two weeks in
changing work with 'the chance also

farm I know. I use a fork and never
walk on the outside tier of bundles,
staying in the center and keeping the
middle full. Any loose grain picked
up can be cared for in the center.
About eight loads of bundles should
be set up in the form of a large
shock beginning at the middle of the
stack and setting them in regular

the ﬁrst row of bundles with the
butts ﬂush with the original ﬁrst
row or extend them a triﬂe and then
work toWard the center as before. ,

“Some people are of the opinion
that a ‘bulge’ in a stack is for good
looks, but its real purpose is for
capacity. Stacks should be built to
stand wind and rain and not made
for appearance ’8 sake. If the edges‘
are kept level there will be sufﬁcient
slant from the middle when the stack
settles to take care of water.

“The ‘bulge’ is started after four "

or ﬁve rows have been placed. One'
side of the butt end of most bundles
will be found to be longer than the
other, due to the way they sat in the
shocks. These can be put either up
or down to provide ‘bulge’ as well as

to permit them to overlap the others i

for the effect. From the bulge the

stack can be drawn in gradually to .

the top which will need to 'be well-
capped.”

In addition to being a farmer for
several years, Mr. Erickson owned
for a time a partnership in a thresh- '
ing machine. “We found oftentimes
that the bottom of stacks were very
damp and were threshed' with diffi-
culty. To get away from this it
would be well to plow the ground

on which they are build, build

 

    
     
     
     
   
     
    
    
   
   
   
   
   
 
 
 

  
  
 
  
   
 
  
 
  
 
 
  
 
 
  
 
  
  
 
  
 
 
 
 
  
 
  
  
 
    
 
 
  
  
  
 
   
   
 
   
  
    
 
 
  
  
   
  
  

comes in wet weather such as
we have seen recently. About
an average Iowa acreage of
grain is raised on the Soeth
farm—50 acres having been
seeded this year.

“When the grain is stacked
we go ahead on our place haul-
ing manure and getting the fall
plowing started early,” says Mr.
Soeth. “The straw turns out
better for feed and bedding
when the grain goes through the
~‘sweat’ in the stack and the
grade of the grain after it is
threshed is found to be improv-
fed. Provided the land is seeded
.to grass, the sooner the shocks
are removed the better are con-
ditions for the grass. .

“We have not noticed much
'diﬁerence in the cost of shock
and stack threshing, considering
: everything on our farm, and be-
‘-'lieve it" would be nearly the
same in both cases, with a
chance that stacked grain would

'bring a better price on the
market. But there is one thing
about stacking, which may

prove an eliminating factor for

Frank Erickson, a veteran farmer

is not desirable because

stacks prove rather

Erickson. “But for the

of delay from bad weather, yet two
or three farmers can go together and
stack and later thresh with less ex-
pense. I have found the expense
clear through with both ways to be
about the same.

“It is true,” asserts Mr. Erickson,
“that stacking is a lost art. But
there is no reason why the art should
be difﬁcult. Any farmer can learn
how to construct a stack which will
give ample protection against the
weather by following a few plain in~
structions.

“I like to do it and would rather
stack than do anything else on the

order until the conﬁnes of the stack
are reached. Beginning next at the
edge, lay a double tier of bundles
around the whole stack, the butts
of the ﬁrst row reaching the ground,
with the butts of the second row just
ﬂush with those of the ﬁrst row. A
single row with the butts reaching
just past the bands of the ﬁrst should
be placed next—continuing this
method row after row until the mid—
dle is reached. '
“The rows may be lapped a little
more toward the middle of the stack
in order to keep this part full, keep-
ing a slope toward the edge, and lay

them on old posts or a layer of
straw.

“It is advisable, it seems, to-
take a view toward locating
stacks with regard to the pre-
vailing winds. Some threshers
think they can do cleaner work
by quartering the winds instead
of setting the machine broadside
to them Or in their direct line.
The location for stacks should
be in a well drained area.”

The sides of|a ﬁnished stack
should be raked down with a
garden rake so that all, loose
material can be «saved. This is-
placed in the bottom of the next
stack to advantage. Fire and
tornado insurance 'on the lot
would be an expensive luxury.
A safety ring plowed around the
grain may prove valuable. Some
farmers like to have a lightning
rod on a tall pole near the
group.

Besides what the two farmers
have had to say about the ad-
vantages of shock and stack
threshing the farm crops depart-
ment of the Iowa State College
offers some worth-while sugges—
tions and considerations based
upon their years of experimenta-
tion.

The department contends that the
two additional handlings of grain
necessary to stack cost about 1 cent
per bushel more than the cost of
shocking. On the other hand, ad-
ditional labor to thresh from the
shock costs about 1 cent per bushel
more than that required to thresh
from stacks.

TESTING STRENGTH OF BOR-

Will you please tell me what acid
is used to test Bordeaux mixture to
determine if it is strong enough with
time to prevent the burning of tree
foliage?—G. C. K.,v Summit City,
Michigan.

——-I do not know of any acid which is
used to test bordeaux mixture to de—
termine if enough lime is present.
Potassium ferrocyanide is used for
this purpose. After the lime and
copper sulphate are combined a few
drops of this solution are dropped
into the bordeaux and if a brown
precipitate is formed, lime should be
added to prevent the formation of
the brown precipitate. I do not
know What this bordeaux ‘is to be
used for but if it is for fruit trees the
general practice now is to use a mix-
ture containing considerable excess
of lime so that there will be no need
of testing for acidity. —N. C. Dutton,

—-—The wife would have to sign the

homestead and dower rights. The

sequent deed in which the wife joins
the husband, or a subsequent deed
executed by the wife alone, in which
she should express her intent to bar

cash, including what A may see ﬁt to

which was done, all but one cow,
which C bought for $51.00. C, think-
ing he gave too much for his cow got
A to write B that he, A, would take
$40, cash, for the cow. As all notes
were made to B, C gave B his note
and kept the cow. The last A heard
from the cow or $40 was a letter
from B dated May 31st that led A
to think that his monemwould soon
be forthcoming. .

THE PERFECT MOTOR OIL

Made in Five Grades

One of these grades —- the one speciﬁed in the chart—is exactly right for
your tractor. Experiment means risk. Don’t tamper with the delicate lubri-
cation system of your machine. Use Polarine and make sure of maximum
service and truest economy by changing your motor oil frequently.

You will be delighted to ﬁnd that Polarine lessens carbon deposit—lessens
power waste—cuts cost of cleaning v: ves and spark-plugs—saves cylinders
to longer life.

' Trained chemists have co-operated with trained Lubricating Engineers to
ﬁnd just the grade of Polarine your tractor should have. That is why Polarine
lubricates correctly every frictional surface under all mechanical and thermal
conditions. Polarine is made from crude oils selected exclusively for their
high lubricating values.

Demand for Polarin'e is increasing steadily and constantly. Farmers are
ﬁnding that Polarine is the indispensable oil. Over 25, 000, 000 gallons of
Polarine were sold in 10 Middle Western States in 1922.

mom and Fireside which ac-

curstely describes the liquor or ,,

booze situation in my section of
Michigan and I will gamble that the
situation is as bad everywhere in
the United States as it is- here, or
perhaps worse. Prohibition just
simply does not prohibit. I have

been practically a teetotsler all my

life and my Vote helped to make it
dry, but in voting to make it dry
I made a terrible mistake, so did
every one else who voted tonnkeit
dry. What has prohibition done for
us? It has deprived us of a market
for our rye and barley. I: has de-
prived our government of the liquor
tax which was an immense sum
which went to help pay the cost of
government“ ~.

Has prohibition done any ood?
No. It has done‘grenx harm. here
is more booze in 'my territory and
I believe everywhere else than there
ever was under the open,saloon. I
think I am well within the truth in
saying there are from two to four
moonshine stills on every square
mile in the country districts and
there are barrels and barrels of
moonshine being made in our cities,
towns and villages, and it never can
be stopped. The prOﬁts in making
moonshine and bootlegging are so
enormous there is a large class of
our citizens who have and always
will take a chance of making and
selling it. Where one man gets
pinched and imprisoned there are a.
dozen more ready to take his place.

Has prohibition removed the temp—
tation to drink booze by our young
men? No. It is worse than ever
before. Let anyone who does not

sorts where they run dancing pavil- _

ions all night, and stay around a
while and keep their eyes open and
they will soon be convinced.

There are more people being
killed and others being made phys-
ical wrecks from drinking booze at
the present time than there ever
was under the open saloon. The
open saloons were all wrong. Had
the prohibitionlsts closed the saloons
and then quit, the booze situation
would have been a_ million times
better than it is today. Had we,
today, the army we sent to France
and commissioned it to make this
country dry it (the army) couldn’t
do it. Every farmer who has kept
his eyes open Will say the same thing
———'A. A. Lambertson, Kent County.

WHAT ABOUT MARKETING YOUR
, CROP? .

HE old marketing routine is
something like this: Sell the
crop to a local buyer or, to the

casual visiting buyer. If neither of
these provide a market then trust
that the Lord will take care of “nit
wits” and fruit growers by dumping
the crop when'harvested into the
nearest central market.

A fruit grower who consign's his
crop in an indiscriminate way has
himself trained to feast on air, water
and landscape and will be fortunate
it he gets more.

Now I fancy some of my grower
friends are saying, “Don't worry
yourself Mr. Townsend, we were
“soaked” last year and the year be-

* fore but we will not consign any

more to the same people." Re—
minds me of two young farmers in
Sauk county who had lost their fath-
er and were bewailing their misfor:
tunes, recounting them to a visiting
uncle.

“I tell you, Uncle John, it is some-
thing worse every year. "

“That’ 3 too bad, ” says uncle John. _

"What all has hapened?”

“Well, four years ago the chickens
all died, and I tellyou Uncle John it
is something worse every year. "

“What happened worse the next
year 9”

“Three yam ago the hogs all died
of the hog. cholera. It’s something
worse every year!”

“That's dreadful. ,
ity happened next. "

“So worse eVery your

are honest. Always were honest and
always will lie honest, , though my
neighbor says there are We excep-
tions: they are all honest except

. week days and Sundays. ,
Of course consigneee are efﬁcient .

but if a buyer visits you from the

cents-oi markets for goodness sakes,

don’t give him any pro-Voleteadcld
er. I: you do he will possibly tell
you how much better it is to sell
out right to him, than consign be-
cause it there is a lot or stock in the
market ”they just slaughter things. "
Now we are all convinced that con-'
slgnoee are bones: and eﬂctent.
What next?

The citrus growers were a plucky
lot. They were more than that-
They were both plucky and plucked

' and that too in a near innocent sort

of a way. They shipped to Straus-
heime'r on East River Street and
Panatelll on West River Street. They
were hustlers/and had a variety of
things to sell. Naturally they want-
ed to keep the retailers coming.

Mr. Retailer runs his truck down
to Strausheimers to buy supplies but
is looking for an “inducement.” Now
cutting prices on goods that are own—
ed or handled at a ﬁxed price is a.
sacriﬁce of proﬁts but there is a way.
You want some oranges and lemons.
We can Shade the list on those. The
dealer who bought lemons at a shad-
ed pri-ce on Tuesday visits Panatelli
Wednesday and tells about the cut
in price. Panatelli “sees” Straus-
heimers cut and goes him one better
and so each consignee in the struggle
to get business keeps cutting the
price to meet some other distributor
until the price scarcely pays the
freight. If there is stock in compe-
tition consigninvg means price cutting
at consignors expense and expense to
all other growers—loss to all be-
cause of ﬂat markets.

Produce and fruit merchants often
have retail stores or are directly in-
terested in such stores but of course
they would never, never buy consign-
ed goods for their own stores. If
they bought of themselves they
might cheat themselves and soon go
broke but if there were no other
stock quite as available it would
really be an honor to the shopper to
supply stock good enough for the
jobbers own retail store.

Some jobbers as consignees might
feel that if they paid eighty per cent
of the value of a consignment and al—
IOWed themselves twenty per cent
for the honor done the consignee by
retailing his stock, that they had
done quite well by the shipper.

A dealer must keep stock or go
out of business. If the consigned
supply is insuﬂicient he~muSt go out
and buy stock to keep trade going.
Suppose you consign a big lot just
after the dealer has bought a, large
supply. .Of course he will let his
owu stock rot, rot, rot, and hustle

,out and sell the consigned goods.

There is a chance though, that you
might consign to someone whose
ethical sense had been paralyzed by
spinal menigitis or something not
quite so bad. In such cases the con—
signed stock would take second place
in selling and may all spoil before
the consignee can sell it.

Visible supply greatly affects mar—
If a large number of cars are
in the central markets at the some
time buyers are apt to conclude that
there will be lower prices and buy
little and this furthur disturbs the
market. If a considerable part of
the crop was distributed to outlying
markets the central markets would
not be over stocked and the market
would be stable.

Anyone who will allow his brain to
function a little bit will see that com-
mission merchants are probably as
honorable as other business men but
that no matter how honest the sys-
tem is interwoven—fabricated-

with vicious competition, irregular ’

and often excessive supply. plus a
number of other features that make

. it a ruinous marketing system.

paid in goods or agricultural prod-

ucts and made a market to that ex-.

tent in excess of the regular ex-
change of goods. Now the position
is reversed. Europe has borrowed
from private sources in this country

sums estimated from ﬁve billion to.

seven billion dollars with an inter—
est charge of from two hundred and
ﬁfty to three hundred and ﬁfty mil-
lion dollars. This will be paid by

imports in excess of the regular ex- ,

change of products.

Already, in March and April, im-
ports in this country have exceeded
exports. Aside from this, European
countries owe this country eleven or
twelve million dollars which we are
pressing them for payment. One of
our great u'nappreciated blessings is
that Europe can’t pay us either in
goods or gold this vast sum. To do
so would so disarrange our econom~
ical situation as to be disastrous.

As Europe gets back to normalcy
she will require gold to back up her
ﬁnancial system. We have the gold
and she will draw on us for gold in
exchange for goods, enhancing the
value of gold and lowering the price
of goods. In all this I see little
chance of any considerable or perm-
anent rise in the price of agricultur-
al products. '

If this is so farmers are wasting
time and energy in promoting legis—
lotion for the purpose of raising the
price of agricultural products, as
economic laws are much more pow-
erful than legislative enactments.

summer in not getting solidly behind

It was supposed that as soon as
railroad earnings permitted there
would be a reduction in freight ‘
rates. Instead the railroads are
now increasing the wages of the rail-
road men. This is natural as rail-
road workers are well organized and
can make the railroads trouble,
while the farmers are divided and a.
good share of them are backing rail:
road workers in their demands. Of
course this will further postpone
rate reduction. _

As long as a considerable portion
of farmers follow such leaders as La-
Follette, Frazier, Brookhart, and our
own Herbert Baker, they will play
into the hands of those who are1 try-
ing to prevent after-war readjust-
ments. —K. S. W., Boyne City, Mich.

man of the froward tongue, “That

. 1 again, "There is that speaketh rash-
‘ l-y'";like the piercings of asword.”

. _,Words have to do with the cur-
'- rent of others’ lives as well as our
own. We have learned that on the
"mic of the tongue,'many times, do-
pendwlarge issues in individual and
community life. “The mouth of the
’fool is present destruction to the in-
dividual,”_but according to James,
itals‘o sets on ﬁre the whole round of
nature. Let us notice the effect of
the disobedient tongue under three
heads: ﬁrst, free and idle criti-
cisms; secondly, gossiping; and
again, grudges.

Sometime ago, I approached an
oﬂice door in one of our cities which
had on it these words, "Come in
- without knocking and leave without
knocking." Yet, coming or going, we
“have the chronic “knockers". In
most communities there are habitual
critics; “Honest criticism always
beneﬁts”. But I am referring to
those who indulge in free and idle
criticism. To them, human frailty
‘ in others is an invitation" to point out
and emphasize the defects. And. the
temptation is so alluring that they
continue until their own vision is so
blurred they, can scarcely see any-
,thing good. They become alert and

sensitive and go after their victim'

. like ‘a cat leaps after its prey.
. Now, anyone who does this is do-
ing profound harm to-himself. Re—

action is heaviestupon him-and “his

religion is vain”. The one criticised
may be suppressed in the enthusi-
asms of life, but only temporarily.
‘ The springs of his life will come back
to' glorify virtue and truth. And
. yet the rippling criticism spreads and
spreads until the whole neighborhood
is affected. What parasitical tongues
But I insist that the one
' "who delights in ﬁnding ﬂaws in
others, who feels a sense of elation
in dealing in Jason criticisms of
'dthers, has taken a deadly poison
" . that has no known antidote save the
spirit of Jesus Christ. The apostle
says that'no mereman can tame such
tongue. .

In the home the man is usually
the, critic. He prides himself in it.
-. I suppose his coming by a kind of

*self—righeousness qualiﬁes him for
this lordly thing. His wife, fearing
criticism, doesn't come to him with

'ypnsﬁ-me is cultivating a spirit of
“mind‘nnd heart that makes it quite

“The words of a whisperer are as
dainty mersels which go down into
the chamber ‘of the belly”. But,

' socially, this -keeping rumors playing

on the tomeis a deep—dyed iniquity.
“Rumor hank—and Chance, and Tu-
mult, and Confusion, all embroiled",
says Milton. It pollutes the com-
‘munity, kindles passion, and drives
out love. The Pentecostal ﬁre can
not settle dOWn when and where a
church and a community are set on
ﬁre by the‘tongue. ‘

“There is so much good in the worst
of us, '
And so much bad in the best of us,
That it hardly behooves any of us
To talk about the rest of us”.

And grudges andloffenses? Blight-
ing as they are, they must needs
come says the Book; but woe unto
the one by whom they come. “It is
proﬁtable for him that a great mill
stone be hanged about his neck and
that he should be sunk in the depths
of the sea”. At least this is better

than the ﬁnal retribution that awaits

this moral tripping-up of others.
But where did this enmity start?
You will remember you observed
some passing attitude or remark you
did not like. You criticised it and—
ibly. It sounded so good to your
titillating ears that you encored
yourself. Then you found yourself
really liking it and you harbored it
so long that it hatched out in genuine
grudge. And did you say that it
was your nature to hold grudges?
But the teaching from Above is, that
if anyone be a Christian he has a
new nature. And now, in our bet-
ter moments, when we are looking
in the right direction, we discover

it would have been much better to ‘

have passed unnoticed the careless
word or even the meant offense.

Surely, this occasions much stum—
bling. And the gravity of this sin
but emphasizes the virtue of self—
denial. After all, doesn’t life every-
where need to enter into a new era
of self-denial? And until it comes
Jesus Christ will be pained and
heart-broken.‘ Not the conquering
of-the other fellow, but of yourself,
makes you a militant victor in, your
moral Life. And regarding all this,
Christian teaching stays the foot as
it stumbles over the occasion, the
hand as it grasps it, the eye as‘it
gloats over it,—all these are the
agents of the inner life, and disclose
its impure loves, and pleasures,'and
desires; and must be cut ed? that
evil may not work through them;
So, must we apply this rule to our
tongue. This is rigorous means but
the demand is stringent. Only this
can bring about love and good-will
in our community.

How happy we wouldbe it we
were not so sensitive and blundering;
if we were able to see the good in
others and love and forgive much!
But our Savior did. And to let his
love and mercy steal our hearts in
all its largeness, is to make the

slights and aifronts of others seem ' ,

small indeed. Friends, we shall ﬁnd
that grudging and hating are deep-
seated in defective thinking about

' God and in a. starved experience of

his love. The Apostle says that with
the same tongue we cannot bless the
“Lord and Father” and curse men
“who are made after the likeness of
God". ~

The Chinese have a saying, “that
an unlucky word dropped from the
tongue cannot be brought back again
by a coach’ and six horses". And
now we are ready to accept the
charge to bridle the tongue. When
the baptism of ﬁre sets upon it then

. it vwill'be chastened and puriﬁed for

the Master’s use. This is well, for
the purity of the home and the.in~
tegrity of the community need guard-
ing. And we need a host 'of folks
'who are set on disarming offenses
and, making peace. “It , wisdom’s

4 TIMES Around the World with ENE OlLlNG

100,000 Miles Without Stopping for 011
.. An inventor who could develop an automobile, a railroad car or any
other conveyance on wheels which would perform such a feat would
“V... be considered a wonder. But such is the record of regular
9% accomplishment by the Auto-oiled 'Aermotor during the past
yﬂ eight years in pumping water.
K. Did you ever stop to think how many revolutions the wheel
of a windmill makes? If the wheel of an Aermotor should roll along the surface
of the ground at the same speed that it makes .when pumping water it would
encircle the world in 90 days, or would go four times around in a year. It would
travel on an average 275 miles per day or about 30 miles per hourfor9 hours each
da . An automobile which keeps-up that pace day after day needs a thorough

oiling at least once a week. Isn’t it marvelous, then, that a windmill. has

made which will go 50 times as long as the best automobile with one oxling?

The Auto-oiled Aermotor after 8 full years of service in every
part of the world has proven its ability to run and give the most reliable service
with one oiling a year. The double gears, and all moving parts, are entirely
enclosed and ﬂooded with oil all the time. It gives more service with less attention than
any other piece of machinery on 'the farm. To get everlasting wind-mill satisfaction buy the
Auto-Oiled Aermotor. the most eﬂicient Windmill that has ever been made.

This title, and he had noted. how care-
” fully he had looked at the breech of
that rifle. Without questioning, he
ﬁhad followed the mountaineer's ex—
ample. There were ﬁfty spare cart-
» ridges in his own pockets. His .303
Twas freshly cleaned and oiled. He
"had tested the mechanism of his
automatic. MacDonald had watch-
.ed him, and both understood what
such preparations meant as they set
out on this last day's journey into
» the North. They had not kept from
f Joanne the fact that they would

reach the end before night, and as
.‘ they rode the prescribed distance be-
hind the old hunter Aldous wonder-
.ed how much she kne ' They had
, given her to understand that they

were beating out the rival party, but
he believed that in spite of all their
efforts there was in Joanne’s mind a
comprehension which she did not re—
veal in voice or look. Today she
was no different than yesterday, or
the day before, except that her
cheeks were not so deeply ﬂushed,
and there was an uneasy questing in
her eyes. He believed that she had
sensed the nearness of tragedy, that
she was conscious of what they were
now trying to hide from her, and
that she did not speak because she
knew that he and MacDonald did not
'want her to know. His heart throb—
bed with pride. Her courage inspir—
ed him. And he noticed that she
rode closed to him—always at his
side through the day.

Early in the afternoon MacDonald
stopped 011 the crest of a swell in the
valley and waited for them. When
they came up he was facing the
north. He did not look at them. For
a. few moments he did not speak.
His hat was pulled low, and his
beard was twitching.

They looked ahead. At their feet
the valley broadened until it was
a mile in Width. Half a mile away a
band of caribou were running for the
cover of a parklike clump of timber.
MacDonald did not seem to notice
them. He was still looking steadily
and he was gazing at a mountain. It
was a tremendous mountainfperhaps
Aldous had nev—
er seen another like it. Its huge
shoulders were of almost ebon black-
ness, and glistened in the sunlight as
if smeared with oil. Between those
two shoulders rose a cathedral- like
spire of rock and snow that seemed
to tip the white ﬂeece of the clouds.

MacDonald did not turn when he
:spoke. His voice was deep and vi—
brant with an intense emotion. Yet
he was not excited.

“I’ ve been hunting for that moun—
t’ in fer forty years Johnny!”

I‘M-aclzuﬁi ’-

Aldous leaned over and laid a
hand on the old mountaineer’s
shoulder. Still MacDonalddid not
look at him.

“Forty years, ” he repeated, as if
speaking to himself. “I see how I
missed it now, just as DeBar said. I

He turned now, and what Joanne
and. Aldous saw in his face
was not grief; it was not the
sorrow of one drawing near to
his beloved dead, but a joy that had
transﬁgured him. The ﬁre and
strength of the youth in which he
had ﬁrst looked upon this valley
with Jane at his side burned again
in the sunken eyes of Donald Mac-
Donald. After forty years he had
come into his own. . Somewhere
very near was the cavern with the
soft white ﬂoor of sand, and for a
moment Aldous fancied that he .
could hear the beating of MacDon-.
ald’s heart, while from Joanne’s
tender bosom there rose a deep, sob-
bing breath of understanding.

And MacDonald, facing the moun-
tain again, pointed with a long,
gaunt arm, said:

“We're almost there, Johnny. God
ha’ mercy on them if they’ve beat us
out!” .
. CHAPTER XXVI

HEY rode on into the Valley of

Gold. Again MacDonald took

the lead, and he rode straight
into the face of the black mountain.
Aldous no longer made an eﬁort to
keep Joanne in ignorance of what
might be ahead of them. He put a
sixth cartridge into the chamber of
his riﬂe, and carried the weapon
across the pommel of his saddle. He
explained to her now why they were
riding behind—that if their enemies
were laying in wait for them, Mac-
Donald, alone, could make a swift
retreat. Joanne asked no questions.
Her lips were set tight. She was
pale.

At the end of three quarters of an
hour-it seemed to them that Mac—
Donald was riding directly into the
face of a wall of rock. Then he
swung sharply to the left, and disap-
peared. When they came to the
point where he had turned they
found that he had entered a conceal-
ed break in the mountain—a chasm
with walls that rose almost perpen—
dicular for a thousand feet above
their heads. A, dark and solemn
gloom pervaded‘this chasm, and Ald-
ous drew nearer to MacDonald, his
riﬂe held in readiness, and his bridle
rein fastened to his saddle-horn.
The chasm was short. Sunlight
burst upon them suddenly, and a few
minutes after MacDonald waited for
them again.

Even Aldous could not restrain an
exclamation of surprise When he
rode up with Joanne. Under them
was another valley, a wide—sweeping
Valley between two rugged ranges

that ran to the southwest. Up
out of it there came to their
ears a steady, rumbling roar;

the air was ﬁlled with that roar; the
earth seemed to tremble with it und—
er their feet—and yet it was not
loud. It came sullenly, as if from a
great distance.

And then they saw that Mac-
Donald was not looking out over the
sweep of the valley, but down. Half
a mile under them there was a dip
-—-—a valley within a valley—and
through it ran the silver sheen of a
stream. MacDonald spoke no word

‘now. He dismounted and levelled
his long telescope at the little valley.
Aldous helped Joanne from her
horse, and they waited. A great

‘breath came' at last from the old

hunter. Slowly he turned. He did
not_give the telescope to Aldous, but
to Joanne. She looked. .For a full
minute she seemed scarcely to
breathe. Her hands trembled when
she turned to, give the glass to Ald—
ous. ‘ ,

“I see—log cabins!” she whisper-
ed. -

MacDonald placed a~ detaining

‘ hand on her arm.

“Look ag’in—Joanne,” he said in

a low voice that had in it a curious-

quiver.

Again she raised the telescope to
her eyes. ,

“You see the little cabin—nearest

, the river?” whispered lD.onald

“Yes, I See it. ”

“That was our cabin—Jane’s an’
mine—forty years ago,” he said, and
now his voice was husky.

Joanne’s breath broke sobbingly
as she gave Aldous the glass. Some-
thing seemed to choke him as he
looked down upon the scene of the
grim tragedy in which Donald Mac-
Donald and Jane had played their
fatal part. He saw the cabins as
they had stood for nearly half a
century. There were four. Three
of them were small, and the fourth
was large. They might have been
built yesterday, for all that he could
see of ruin or decay. The doors and
windows of the larger cabin and two
of the smaller ones were closed. The
roofs were unbroken. The walls ap—
peared solid. Twice he looked at
the fourth cabin, with its wide-open
door and window, and twice he look-
ed at the cabin nearest the stream,
where had lived Donald MacDonald
and Jane.

Donald had moved, and Joanne
was watching him tensely, when he
took the glass from his eyes. Mutely
the old mountaineer held out a hand,
and Aldous gave him the telescope.
Crouching behind a rock he slowly
swept the valley. For half an hour

he looked through the glass, and in‘

that time scarce a word was spoken.
During the last ﬁve minutes of that
half-hour both Joanne and Aldous
knew that MacDonald was looking at
the little cabin nearest the stream,
and with hands clasped tightly they
waitedin silence.

At last old Donald
face and voice were
wonderful calm.

“There ain’t been no change," he
said softly. “I can see the log in
front 0’ the door that I used to cut
kindling on. It was too tough for
them to split an’ burn after we left.
An’ I can see the tub I made out o'
spruce for Jane. It’s leaning next
the door, where I put it the day be-
fore we went away. Forty years
ain’t very long, Johnny!
very long!”

Joanne had turned from them,
and Aldous knew that she was cry-
111g.

“An’ we’ve beat ’em to it, Johnny
—we've beat ’em to it!” exulted
MacDonald. “There ain’t a sign of
life in the valley, and we sure could

“You must not betra tears J or?

ent. “Joanne—sweetheart—-—it is a ‘

wonderful thing that is happening

thought that it would be terrible to

witness the grief of a man with a.
heart like. Donald’s. But he is not
ﬁlled with grief, Joanne. It is joy,
a great happiness that perhaps, neith-
er you nor I can understand—h—that

understand? He has found her- He
has found their old home. To-day
is the culmination of forty years of
hope, and faith, and prayer. And it
does not bring him sorrow, but glad-
ness. We must rejoice with him.
We must be happy with him. I love
you above all else on earth or in
heaven. Without you I would not
want to- live. -And yet, Joanne, I
believe that I am no happier today
than is Donald MacDonald!”

With a sudden cry, Joanne ﬂung
her arms about his neck. .

“John, is it that?” she cried, and
joy shone through her tears. “Yes,
yes, I understand now! His heart is
not breaking. It is life returning
into a heart that was empty. I und-
erstand—oh, I understand now! And
we must be happy with him. We
must be happy when we ﬁnd the cav-
ern——and Jane!” .

“And when we go down there to
the little cabin that was their home."

“Yes—yes! ”

They followed behind MacDonald.
After a little a spur of the mountain
side shut out the little valley from
them, and when they rounded this
they found themselves very near to
the cabins. They rode down a beau-
tiful slope into the basin, and when
he reached the log buildings. old
Donald stopped and dismounted.
Again Aldous helped Joanne from
her horse. Ahead of them MacDon-
ald went to the cabin nearest the
stream. At the door he paused and
waited for them.

“Forty years!” he said, facing
them. “An’ there ain't been so very
much change as I can see!”

Years had dropped from his
shoulders in these last few minutes,
and even Aldous could not keep
quite out of his face his amazement
and wonder. Very gently Donald
put his hand to the latch, as though .
fearing to awaken some one within;
and very gently he pressed down on
it, and put a bit of his strength
against the door. It moved inward,
and when it had opened sufﬁciently
he leaned forward so that his head
and a half of his shoulders were in-
side; and he looked—a long time he
looked, without a movement of his
body or a breath that they could see".

And then he turned to them again,
and his eyes were shining as they
had never seen them shine before.

“I’ll open the window,” he said.
“It’s dark—dark inside.”

He went to the window, which was
closed with a sapling barricade that
and when he

swung it back the rusted hinges gave
way, and the thing crashed down at
through

his feet. And now the

Dﬂiers was._,not much in theicabin,
" ‘ What it hold was earth, heaven,

strange, glad cry surged. from his
’ chest as he looked about him, and
now Joanne saw and understood
what John Aldous” had told her—for
Donald MacDonald, after forty
years, had come back to his home!
“011, my Gawd, Johnny, they did-
n’t touch anything! They didn't
touch , anything!” he breathed in
ecstasy. “I thought after we ran
away they’d come in "
He broke off, and his hat dropped

Splash, and Joanne’s hand-gripped
John’s, and held to it tightly.
Against the wall, hanging as they
i had hung for _forty years, were a
‘7 woman’s garments; a hood, a shawl,
a dress, and an apron that was half
.~ in tatters; and on the ﬂoor under
these .things were a pair of. shoes.
. And as Donald MacDonald went to
them, his arms reaching out, his lips
moving, forgetful of all things but
that he had come home, and Jane
was here, Joanne drew Aldous softly
. to the door, and they went out into
; the day. .

Joanne did not speak, and Aldous
did not urge her. He saw her white
throat throbbing as if there were a
little heart beating there, and her
eyes Were big and dark and velvety,
like the eyes of a fawn that had been
frightened. There was a thickness
in his own throat, and he found that
it was diﬂicult for him to see far out
over the plain. They waited near
the horses. Fifty yards from them
ran the stream; a clear, beautiful
stream which ﬂowed in the direction
from which the mysterious rumble of
thunder seemed to come. This, Ald—
ous knew, was the stream of gold. In
the sand he saw wreckage which he
knew were the ancient rockers; a
shovel, thrust shaft-deep, still re-
, mained in the cabin. _Then he came
, out. Very carefully he closed the
door. His' shoulders were thrown
back. His head was held high. He
looked like a monarch.

And his voice was calm.

“Everything is there, Johnny——
everything but the gold,” he said.
“They took that.” '

Now he spoke to Joanne.

“You better not go with us into
the other cabins,” he said.

“Why?” she asked softly.

“Because—there’s death in them
all.” - ,

“I am going,” she said.

From the window of the largest
cabin MacDonald pulled the sapling
shutter, and, like the other it fell to
his feet. Then they opened the
door, and entered; and here the sun-
light revealed the- cabin’s ghastly
tragedy. The :ﬁrst thing that they
saw, because it was most terrible,
was a rough table, half over which
lay the shrunken thing that had once
been a man. A part of its clothes

._.. -._._..... _ .,_..__. ._ _.,,. .. _‘ ..._._..._.. h ,. <+,

still remained, but the head hadT

broken from its column, and the
, white and ﬂeshless skull lay facing
them. Out of tattered and dust-
crumbing sleeves reached the naked
bones of hands and arms. And on
the ﬂoor lay another of these things,
in a crumpled and huddled heap,
only the back of the skull showing,
like the polished pate of a bald man.
These things they saw ﬁrst, and then
two others; on the table were a heap
of age-blackened and dusty sacks,
and out of the back of the crumbling
thing that guarded them stuck the
long buckhOrn hilt of a knife.

“They must ha’ died ﬁghting,"
Said MactDon-ald. “An’ there, Johnny,
is their gold!” . .

White as death Joanne stood in
the door and watched them. Mac-
Donald and Aldous went to the
sacks.’ They were of buckskin. The
years had not aged them. When
Aldous took one in his hands‘he
found it was heavier than lead. With
his knife MacDonald out a slit in one
of them, and the sun that came
through the window ﬂashed in a
little golden stream that ran from
the bag. . - V ‘

“I’m going," she whisbered again.
"‘It was their cabin—the man an’
his wife,” persisted old Donald. "An’
the men was beasts, Joanne! I don’t
know what happened in there—but
I guess.” ’ > -
”I’m going,” she said again.. .
MacDonald pulled down the barri—
cade from the window—a window
that also faced the south and west,
and this time he had to 'thrust‘
against the door with his shoulder.
They entered, and a low cry came

from Joanne’s lips—a cry that had-

in it horror, disbelief, a woman's
wrath. Against the wall was a pile
of something, and on that pile was
the searching ﬁrst light of day that
had fallen upon it for nearly half a
century. The pile was a man
crumpled down; across it, her skele-
ton arms thrown about it protecting-
ly was a woman. This time Aldous
did not go forward. MacDonald
was alone, and Aldous took Joanne
from the cabin, and held her while
she swayed in his arms. Donald
came out a little later, and there was
a curious look’ of exultation and
triumph in his face. _

He paused, and he drew a great
breath. .

He was looking to the west, where
the sun was beginning to sink be-
hindthe mountains.

‘ “An’ now, Johnny, if you’re ready,

CHAPTER XXVII

S THEY went up out of the basin
into the broad meadows of the
larger valley, MacDonald rode

between Aldous and Joanne, and the

pack-horses, led by Pinto, trailed
behind.

Again old Donald said, as he
searched the valley:

“We’ve beat ’em, Johnny. Quade

an’ Rann are‘coming up on the other
side of the range, and I ﬁgger they’re
just about a day behind—mebby

the point of asking old Donald

and searchingly swept over the va w

"The Farm Paper of Service"

WHAT THE FARMER WANTS

HE July issue of the Locomotive Engineers
Journal is devoted entirely to “What the
Farmer Wants", and comes from the head—

quarters ,. of one of the greateSt labor unions in
America. It covers every point of the “Farmers
Revolt” excepting that it fails to mention that the
one thing the farmer wants more than anything
else is lower freight rates. It is a. little hard for
a farmer to hold the plow handles straight in a
rocky ﬁeld with the sun broiling down on the back
of his neck, wondering whether or not the crop
he is planting will come safely through and net
him a few dollars proﬁt, or whether possibly it
will be a total loss, when he looks across the
ﬁeld at the locomotive engineer, in his uphol-
stered cab, and realizes that the eigineer with
no investment of capital draws about $1.00 an
hour for his time, with time and a half for over-
time and double time for holiday work!

It is rather interesting to see so powerful a
labor union taking so considerate a view of the
greatest industry in America. The farmer, how-
ever, is not one who forgets so easily the laws
that were hurried through Washington during
the very critical days of the war to satisfy the
demands of the railway labor unions. The
farmer does not forget that during the past two

 

 

 

years when his crops have been selling at prices '

which did not pay'for the actual cost of pro-
duction, the labor unions have demanded the
“last pound cf ﬂesh.”

If the locomotive engineers want to know,

“what the farmer wants” and they will go to
the actual working farmers in the ﬁelds and not
the political leaders who claim to champion the
farmer’s cause but serve only to betog his issues,
they will ﬁnd that what the farmer wants most,
is to know how they f‘put—it—over.” So far the
farmer seems to be a. dismal failure in getting
what he needs through organization. He gets“
what he “wants”, or what the politicians think
he wants, but far from what he needs, which.
is, as we see it, a guaranteed return on his in—
vestment like Capital gets and a guaranteed
wage for his time like Labor gets.

GOOD-BYE FOREVER

ERE will be no wheels-of—chanco on the
Michigan State Fair Grounds this year.
This announcement just made by George W.
Dickinson, Secretary ‘and Manager, will send a.
chill up the backs of thousands of city men and
women who have apparently, heretofore, de-
pended on “Lady Luck” for their food and rai-'
ment. We wonder how they will get along!
At former fairs it has been possible to take
a chance on the wheel and win anything from a.

poor, little, wild yellow bird in a reed cage, to,

a basket of sawdust carefully camouﬂaged over.
the top with a layer of fruit. When you consider
that there were from one to two hundred chances
on the spin of a. wheel, that each chance was
sold for ten cents, and 'that the value of the.
prize was seldom more than a. dollar, you can
appreciate why there were nearly two city blocks
of these stalls at the last State Fair, and why
the space at $60 per foot for the ten days fair
was sold immediately and at a proﬁt to the fair-
which we understood to have been $29, 000: ‘

, The passing of the wheel-of~chance marks one

;_ of the last steps in cleaning up the State Fair.

BETI‘ER POTATO PRICES

THERE is a ray of hope, at least, for the
potato growers of Michigan who have garn-
bled again against the elements and the
even worse effect that'comes from a glutted mar-
ket, in the statement just issued by the Michigan
Potato Growers Exchange, which predicts a
higher price for this years’ potato crop.
Only three states, they point out; Maine, Ohio
andNebraska, have larger crops than last year,

and only Maine is an important contender with.

Michigan in the production of this staple. All
other states show a decrease in predicted pro-
duction, and there is a shortage of over 47,000,—
000 bushels from. the estimate of 1922 taken at
this time. ,

It is not yet safe to predict but that conditions
may change and produce an even greater short-
age. We hope so for the sake of the potato
growers of Michigan who have had the courage
to gamble on this precarious crop.

The potato market suffers more from over
production than it does from bugs and blight.
The Agricultural - College and other specialists
ought for this reason to give potato marketing
a. greater share of their attention.

FEDERAL All) FOR STATE ROADS

NNOUNCEMENT has just been made in

Washington of the mileage of good roads
which will be giVen federal aid under the
existing bills for that purpose.

Michigan, with 4, 582 miles leads her neighbor-
ing states in the mileage of good roads which
we have available for federal aid. Ohio having
4,606 . miles and . Indiana, only 3,957' miles.
This would indicate that Michigan has in reality
made some progress in good roads since the
ﬁfty million dollar plan was undertaken.

The total mileage. of good roads in the United
States receiving federal aid, will approximate
187, 406 miles, and will connect nearly every

city in the country having a population of over ~

ﬁve thousand. It has been stated that these
roads comprise a network which will bring good
roads within ten miles of 90% of the entire pop-
ulation of the country.

Good roads are expensive, but America with
good roads is prosperous, while China which has
no roads whatever, is a. pauper country, with
millions of people living shoulder to shoulder
in closely congested cities, while millions of acres
stretch toward the Great Wall, uncultivated and
uninhabited.

If the difference between America and China
is good rdads, then the price we pay is of little
consequence.

investigation of this growing and proﬁtable busi-
ness points out two or three facts which should
be brought to the attention of farmers who are
thus fortunately located.

In the ﬁrst place, our farmers. must build for ‘ l
themselves a reputation for fair and square deal-
ing. It is obvious that the farmer can mate i
much more for himself and yet sell at a price L‘ " ‘
slightly under the retailer in the city. For the
farmer, therefore, to charge the same or a higher
price is only defeating his,own best interests. If
the city custdmer buys'strawberries at ,25 cents ‘

a hex from the farmer and ﬁnds they are selling
for 20 cents at his corner grocery store he ishot
going back to the country. On the other hand,

if the conditions are reversed, that farmer has
secured for himself a steady cash customer who
comes out to the farm and buys his products,
not only for the slight saving that is made, but ,
because the products purchased, direct from the -
farm are fresh, and therefore. more desirable. ,

Another weakness is the attempt on the part
of some to combine with their sales of farm
products the sale of “pop”, candy, tobacco and
“hot dogs. ” It is obvious that this small store-
keeping is seldom done by legitimate farmers, i
and is usually attempted because a request is i
had once in a While for these articles. Our in-
vestigations show_ that this is seldom proﬁtable
to the farmer because his family uses up more
of the kniCk-knacks which he buys for resale
than he actually sells at a proﬁt. While the i-
‘better class of his legitimate customers for farm
products pass his place by because it does not E
look like a. real farm and they are not interested ,c
in trading at an imitation corner store. ' ‘

We know of many farmers who are selling V 4
all of the green vegetables they can convenitnely t'
raise direct from the roadside. The children, like "
to do this and it givesthem a good business
training. It brings in ready cash for the himse-
‘hold expenses and usually more than just "pin .
money ” The automobile has made this new
roadside market possible, and if our farmers will 4
protect their own interests by fair and square A
dealing, offering the best they have at! a tell? -
price and keeping their premises clean and im ,
writing, this business can be doubled with each
passing year. 5’

is IT WRONG TO HAVE BOBBED
HAIR?

   

GREAT deal has been said for
and against bobbing the head of
our girls. I have listened to so
any of my younger girl friends
pleading with their parents to con-
sent to this cutting that I am wond-
ering if the same problem has reach-
.ed the girls on the farm. Is it
a wrong for them to have their hair
f cut? What have the morals or vir-
iitues of our girls got to do with bob-
bing? I have noticed that some of
‘l .the girls say they Will never go back
‘ to long unsanitary hair again. It is
.‘so comfortable that the freedom
‘- from doing up long hair is a thing of
', the past with the coming generation.
i Again I notice where one girl has the
I; Courage to bob she brings into the
circle of bobbed heads all her
:friends and each one has a number
of. other girls that bob their heads
'andvso all these families are upset
until they get used to seeing their
daughter and sister with her hair
cut.

,I can remember when I ﬁrst want-
ed to wear a corset and my-mother
gheld up her hands in horror at the
grown up idea I had on my mind.
And oh how glad I was with that
ﬁrst pair. I got them on upside

down and did not know it until my
older sister laughed and told me. ' I
am wondering if the same feelings
cbme to the bobbed-haired girl. Does
it make her move ﬂippant and saucy
«or is it just an expression of free-
' dom, no more corsets, no more hair.
In the olden days we wore wigs and
rumes, silk stockings, garters, rib-
bons and laces. They have gradual-
1y brought their dressing down to a.
very simple and plain outﬁt that can
be gotten into quickly. Are the
girls of to-day trying for the same
, goal? I would like very much to
get a few opinions about the bobbed
head girl and see if our mothers on
the farm feel as the city and town
_m0thers do.

  
  
  
  
  
 
   
   
 
  
 
   
   
  
  
    
  
 
  
   
  
   
 
 
 
  
   
  
  
  
  
   
  
   
 
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
    
  
  
   
 
  
   
 
  
  
 
   
  
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
  

 

CLOTHES PIN APRON

two or three times a minute to

If they only knew what a help a

,The pocket is practically all there

is twelve inches deep, and comes to

In this way I don’ t have to stoop to
reach into the bottom of it.

for years. However, I usually use

FLOWERS IN OUR HOMES
RY putting'a piece of blotting

setting vase of ﬂowers upon it
and you willﬁnd it can be put upon
the choicest polished piece of furni-
ture.

Keep the home supplied if possible
with a vase or two of flowers. It
makes a room look so cheerful with
the bright colors. ,

HINTS FOR OUR FLOWER
GARDEN
ET no seeds form and mature on
sweet peas and nasturtiums.
Pick at least every other day.
The Petunia is a most pleasing an-
nual and gives so freely of blossoms
until late fall. Keep the dead blos—
soms snipped off. I have my wind-
ow boxes ﬁlled with pink and purple
petunias with sweet Elysium be—
tween the plants and it makes a
beautiful sight from the room inside
and is beautiful from the lawn.

SERVING HOT WEATHER MEALS
NICELY

URING these warm“ days a good
plan is to give the family all the
vegetables growing but serve
them attractively so they will be in-
viting to eat.

Beets can be cut in nice slices
and served with butter, pepper and

salt, or with vinegar, pepper and
salt. To serve hot make a sour
sauce. ,

Melt two tablespoons-butter, add
two tablespoons ﬂour and pour on
the beet juice that has formed from
the beets having been cut‘ in cubes.
Add one-fourth cup, each, vinegar
and cream, one teaspoon sugar, one-
half teaspoon salt and a few grains
pepper. Serve in a vegetable dish
any of these ways of ﬁxing beets and
with a large serving spoon one can
have them upon their dinner plates
and save dishes.

Peas can be served hot with just
butter, pepper and salt. If you wish
to cream them, add enough cream to
suit taste and thicken with just a
little ﬂour. This should be served
in small vegetable dishes.

FRUIT JUICES FOR WINTER USE
ITH sugar high {in price, why
not put away some fruit juices
for winter use? Juices from
the raspberry, blackberry and grape
may easily be canned when the fruit
is in season and stored for winter
use. If preferred, the boiled juices
may be made when required. The
way to do this to to wash and stem
the berries or grapes and place in a
preserving kettle. Crush lightly
with‘a wooden spoon, cover with
water and cook very slowly for 30
minutes, stirring frequently. Re-
move from the ﬁre and pour the
juice through a moistened cloth
(preserve the pulp for a butter or
marmalade mixture).
Pour the strained juice into a
clean kettle, boil for ﬁve minutes
and skim. If the fruit juice is being

FRUIT BUTTERS

Fruit butters are made from‘fruit s ‘
cooked to a smooth consistency. It“

, is frequently found to be cheaper to '

make fruit butters from fruit pulp,
left after the ﬁrst extraction of the;
pectin in jelly-making.

General rules for butterszl . ., -
1. Put the pulp of the cooked
fruit through a sieve; remove seeds
and skins. -
2. Use half as much sugar as

When Baby is allowed

the older children express the wish
that a baby 'had never come to their

Sometimes, ofcourse, a baby will

older children learn a hardlesson.
They must learn to forgive the little

must calm them, and guide them
along the paths of patience and for-

“Give it to Baby;" “Let Baby hav

mands heard all too frequentlyin
many families. Baby soon learns if
he can order the household around ;
it he finds he can, he proceeds to run
things with a high hand. .
' .Be careful in issuing such com-
mands as the above. Consider the
baby’s welfare and consider the old-
or children’s rights. A child does
not/ have-to be very old to have a
sense of injustice".

TEACH HUMANENESS TO YOUR
CHILDREN
ONTRARY to an altogether too
commonly accepted idea, just
because a child is a boy is no ex-
cuse or reason for him being cruel.
Cruelty has no place in God’s scheme
of things. Though Man has been
given dominion over the birds of the
air and the beasts of'the ﬁeld, he has
not been given license to practice
cruelties upon them.

Boy nature and girl nature are
two distinct types. A little girl is
the embryo mother. Her mission in
life is to give life, not to take life:
therefore, if she be a normal little
girl, she shrinks from doing any—
kills. Little
boys, on the other hand, are incipi—
ent husbands and fathers—provid—
ers, in other words—and in their
blood there runs a trace of the blood
of their ancesters who, to provide

food for their family, must ﬁrst go

forth and kill it. Taking life to
them has no horrors. And, since
they can contemplate killing without
a-qualm, it is only to be expected
that they lack the ﬁner sensibilities
of their sisters when it: comes to
hurting dumb creatures.

The trouble is, when a boy prac—
tices cruelty on birds or animals,
that he has never been taught to feel
for them. A little girl seldom needs
training along that line; a little boy
practically always does.

A boy's training in humaneness

should begin as soon as he is able to .

creep. A love for all living creatures
must be taught, an interest in their
life and habits must be aroused and
'in their hearts must be instilled the
knowledge that all living creatures
suffer pain just as we humans do.

Until children 'have reached an'
age of understanding, keep them
away from the. slaughter—pen. The
early years of life are highly impres-
sionable; let not the'sight of beasts
suffering 'make its mark on the
child-mind. It is not effeminate for
a boy to be humane, unwilling to in-
ﬂict needless suffering; it is an ideal
manliness. If your boy is cruel,
there is someone to blame. Is that
someone you? ‘

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

. Dear Uncle Ned: -I have been reading
‘, the Children’s Hour in the Michigan
‘ Business Farmer so I decided to write
a letter. I am a farmer girl between
. the ages of 11 and 17. Whoever guesses
, my age right will receive a letter or card
" from me. I have brown hair, gray eyes,
and I am about ﬁve feet and one and
one-half inches high. I am light oom~
plexioned. I passed the eighth grade
this year. I was sick with scarlet fever
last year, and couldn’t take the eighth
grade examinations. I have ﬁve brothers
"and two sisters, and my mother and
father are both living. My brother and
I have been having the measles. The
baby is sick and I think that she is
coming down with them. I can int,
crochet, knit, embroider and sew. 1 wish
some of the cousins that 'can crochet,
would send me some new patterns. If
they would I would send them some.
We have a Ford car that I can drive
and I like to drive very much. 'We have
a lot of cattle, a truck, tractor, Overland
touring car, and a lot of other things
that I will not name. As I have written
- quite a. lot I will close. I would like
. to correspond with some of the cousins.
. Someone put this riddle in the. paper.
What walks like a cat, looks like a cat,
and acts like a cat? I think that the
1 answer is a cat. She said that she would
write aIletter to the ones that guessed
it right, so I will hope that I get it
right, as I like to get letters. Your
I niece—Evelyn Soper, R. F. I". No; l,
‘ Gregory, Michigan.
-—I am sure many of the girls will be
glad to exchange patterns with you as
. many of them are real experts at crochet—
‘ ing and have a great variety of patterns
or designs.

Dear Uncle Ned:—I don’t suppose there
is much use in writing because just as
sure as you or I are living it will land

1 in the waste paper basket. But what’s
the difference? I can say I have written
‘ to you again any way. I wrote to you
some time ago and believe me I was
surprised to see my letter printed. I
received a. lot of letters, from cousins
too, they just poured in. I had almost
fforty correspondents in all during the
ﬁrst Week. Then some stopped writing
for unknown reasons so that at the pres—
l out time I only have seven correspond—
‘. ents. I love to write letters don’t you,
‘ Uncle Ned? I like to receive them, too.
: You must receive a lot in one day. I
. wisri I might help you read them. Some
3 of the other cousins are ”cordially in-
vited” to write to me. It’s quite lone-
some in the summer time and you have’nt
anything to do. In the winter time there
- is a. lot to do, for instance school work.
;Your niece, Halcetia Currier, Algonac,
. Michigan.
; -—-This is the time you got fooled; your
'. letter is pﬁnted after all. Well, I like
. to write letters but like better to receive
if them”. Yes, I receive a great many let—
‘ ters every day and every one is welcome.
.‘ I read them all with a great deal of
,- interest and hope some day that we can
spare space enough to print them all.

Dear Uncle Ned:-——Oh my, the weather
is warm. We certainly would webome
.a min at the present. The crops. are
~f sorely in need of rain too. I live in a
i small town, or rather a. railroad junction
‘ and the population is about three hun-
dred. The South Shore and St. Paul

work going on in the summer is the work
on the section; but in the winter there
. is plenty in the camps around here. We
1 have some very beautiful lakes around
, here. South of Sidnaw is a lake called
‘ Norway. It certainly is a pretty lake.
It is in the midst of Norway pines. You
can imagine how nice it is to sit around
a camp ﬁre and listen to the
among the pines.

week. [put in smneriddlesrorthe boys
and girls to answer and I received 27
letters and one card and I am so ‘lmsy
on the farm that I can’t write to them
all so I will thank them all for trying
to answer the riddles. Out of the 27
letters there was only one that got them
right and that was Ruby E. Fletcher,
R. 1, Pellston, Michigan. I will give the
address so if any one wants to know
what she received they may write and
ask her. Our crops are coming dandy.
My brother is cutting hay. A friend of
mine wants some girls to write to him,
and also some boys. His addrea \‘is
William Grant, R. F D. No. 3, Tawas

for trying to answer the riddles. Say

Dear chle Ned:-——May I ,join your
merry circle. I have been a. reader of
the Children’s Hour tier Marty a year.
When we ﬁrst book the M. B. F. we
lived at Oxford, Midligan, but We moved
a year ago last my. Some move! "We
live about a half mile from Saginaw
Bay. The water is ﬁne. I was 15 years
of age the 29th of last January. Have
I a twin? Will the girls and boys write
to me? I will gladly answer all letters.
I am 5 feet and 1%, inch tall, have med-
ium brown bobbed hair and brown eyes.
Your niece—Gladys Classman, R. 1,

Dear Uncle Ned:———I have never "Writ-

a consolidated school. I have three miles
to ride. We have a nice bus to ride in
I am the youngest of the family. I have
blue eyes and brown hair. I live on a.
forty acre farm. 1- am glad we did not
put in any pickles this year as I don’t
like to pick them and I never did. The

to raise pickles this summer, and We are
to receive two-thirds of the crop. Say,
would not some of your cousins enm
helping pick them?. I think I have writ-
ten quite enough for the ﬁrst time, so
I will close with a riddle, and whoever
guesses the answer will receive a can!
or letter from me. A duck. a frog and a
skunk went to the fair. The duck and
frog got in but the skunk did not. ‘Why

he could not pay his admission. .Am I

Dear Uncle Neely-«How are you these

It is raining here today so it is pretty

getting ripe down here. Do you like
cherries? Come down here and you can
get all you want. There are acres and
acres of cherry orchards/around here.
There is also a canning factory near
Northpert where the cherries are canned,
and shipped to other places. It is inter-

this summer. I will describe mymlf. I
have brown, bobbed hair, blue eyes and
weigh about eighty-ﬁve pounds. I am
eleven years old. My birthday is on

have, write to me, and I will answer.

THE “GLORIOUS EOURTE”

N’ TODAY is the Fourth of July!
Everybody seems to be havin’ a
high 01’ time, noise is every—

where an’ ﬁrecrackers an’ such is
more so. An’ what is it all about?
How many of our folks know why
we celebrate this one day more’n
any other day?

"Well, there’s a whole lot’a folks,
mebbe they don‘t know why we cele—
brate but they know we do an’ they
are the ones what sell ﬁreworks.
0!: no, they aint the only ones either.
Our big politicians know its a great
day with our folks an’ they scramble
out 1111’ make a few speeches, many
speeches if I may be allowed to say
so, an’ they try to tell us why we

have saved the country, by jest put-I

tin” them in omce.

An’ now comes Mr. Couzens, our
latest senator, or one of the latest,
appointed to ﬁll the vacancy «of a.
man elected—well mebbe without
without qualiﬁcations ’ceptin’ money
Anyway Senator Couzens sez r"The
Votstead Act is ridiculous an' the
folks that passed that law are back
numbers,” or words to that eﬂect.

Well now we've always kinder
admired Mr. Couzens. As manager
of the Ford business, mayor of De-
u'oit *an’ a few little things like that,
Mr. Couzens was quite :a teller.
Mebbe he did as well at that as any-
body could do. But when our Sena.
tor Couzens sez ’at 5 per cent beer
amt an inboxicatin’ drink, when is:
see any drink containin 5 per cent
alcohol ain't into'xicatin’, then it goes:
to show at our new senator lint

never had much experience with:

per cent beer or else he’ s trytn'la
hooteink somebody. Mel-lie m is

beer interests have whispered to our
new senator, mebbe he likes 5 per
cent beer. No matter which way
he thinks, no matter what he does
or is, good friends, any law that per-
:mits 5 per cent beer, light wines or
any other 5 per cent stugff is jost an
openin’ wedge for all the drinks ’et
we ’ve ever had.

Mr. Volstead might‘a been out of
this head a little when he got the
law passed shuttin’ out all the stuff
men 311’ women had been 11111.ne—
mebbe he wuz a. little wild alt that
ltime, but good folks, there aint
hardly a m, woman or child today
but’li say its a good law. 011, ex-
cuse me, there are a lot of 'em 'at
sea it ain‘t, but what an who are
they? Lickker sellerehwell they
don’t like the law so much—drunk-
ards, old hard shells ‘at thought ‘at
they had to have it~—-aoh my sakes
they like the law alright; most of
"em are now workin’ an’ savin”
money. Who then'aside from the
new senator wants '5 per cent beer
an’ any other 5 per cent stuff? 011
lhol’ on a minute an’ I’ll tell you.

.The big beer Interests, 1111’ that in-

cludes all likker interests; the casual
drinkers, an' that includes many of
our best church‘ members; the ‘bum
who doesn’t care what happens if he
cangethishootzcb; an’ thaws/tho
would lake the privilege of sellin’ all
these 5 per cent drinks, he could add
a little 40, 60 or 90 per cent stun?
an” nobody would be any the wiser.

THE HUNTED WOMAN
(Continued from Page 11)

”I’ve often wondered why you ran
away with Jane,” he said. “I know
what threatened her—a thing worse
than ueath. But why did you run?
Why didn’t you stay and ﬁght?”

5 A low'growl rumbled in MacDon—
ald’s beard.

“Johnny, Johnny, if I only 1111’
could!” he groaned. “There was
ﬁve of them left when I ran into the
cabin an’ barricaded myself there
with Jane. I stuck my gun out of
the window 311’ they was afraid to
rush the cabin. They was afraid,
Johnny, all that afternoon—an’ I
didn’t have‘a cartridge left to tire!
That’s why we went just as soon as
we could crawl out in the dark. I
knew they'd come that night. I
might ha’ killed one or two hand to
hand, for I was big an’ strong in
them days, Johnny, but I knew I
couldn’t beat ’em all. So we went."

“After all, death isn’t so very
terrible,” said. Joanne softly, and
she was riding so close that for a
moment she laid one of her warm
hands on Donald MacDonald's.

“No, it’s sometimes—wunnerful—
an’ beautiful,” replied Donald, a
little brokenly, and with that he
rode ahead, and Joanne and Aldous
waited until the pack—horses had
passedgthem.

“He’s going to see that all is clear
at the summit,” explained Aldous.

They Seemed to be riding now
right into the face of that mysterious
rumble and roar‘of the mountains.
It was an hour before they all stood
together at the top of the break, and
here MacDonald swung sharply to
the right, and come soon to the rock-
strewn bed of a dried-up stream that
in ages past had been a wide and
rushing torrent.’ Steadily, as they
progressed down this, the rumble
and rear grew nearer. It_seemed
that it was almost under their feet,
when again MacDonald turned, and
a quarter of an hour later they found
themselves at the edge of a. small
plain and now all about them were
cold and towering 'mountains that
shut out the sun; a hundred yards to
their right was a great dark cleft in
the ﬂoor of the plain, and up out of
this came the rumble and roar that
was. like the sullen anger of monster
beasts imprisoned deep down in the
launch of the earth. \

“Baum got at! his horse, and
Ali-In and Joanne rode up to him.

DAIRY mommy SHOWS - RAPID

. ~GROWTH
‘ 5 ROM the time the ﬁrst cows were

brought to this "country by the‘

early settlers, there has been a.

steady , and at times a rapid, in- .

Crease in the dairy business, until
there are now more than 30,000,000
dairy cattle in the United States,
producing indispensable ”nod pro-
ducts which form a'large and im-
portant part of the diet of‘ our en-
tire population and for which con-
sumers pay more than $5,000,000,-
000,000 a year, or about $30 per
person. The vital importance of the
dairy industry and its relation .to
the prosperity and health of the
American people have been reviewed
by the United States Department of
Agriculture in the 1922 Yearbook.

While there were more beef cattle
in the United States in 1920 than
dairy cattle, the latter led in value
all classes of livestock; and the farm
value of dairy products in I921 rep-
resented 45.1 per cent of the total
value of all animal products.
production is important for a number
of reasons, but chiefly because of its
favorable relation to the production
of crops, the maintenance of soil for-
tility, and the seasonal distribution
of labor; because of its large total
income from the sale of products:
because of its stabilizing effect on
agriculture in general; because of
the large part of our meat, that is
supplied as a by-product of dairying;
and because milk and its products
are so important in the proper nour-
ishment of our people.

Dairy products form an important
part of the diet of, the American
people, and records show a notice--
able increase in consumption during
recent years. The per capita. con—
sumption of milk alone in the United
States has increased from 42 gallons
in 1914 to 49 gallons in 1921. ,Diet-
ary studies made by the department
show that of the total amount of
money paid for food, a little more
than one-ﬁfth—or, to be exact, 20.7
per cent—was spent for dairy pro-
ducts. Of this nearly one-third was
for butter, and the remainder prin—
cipally for .milk, with a little for
cream and cheese. ’

The‘ consumption of butter has
been increasing. For the your 1921
the consumption was 16.1 pounds
per capita, which is a 10 per cent
increase over the previous year.

Compared with Europeans, the
American people are small consum-
ers of cheese, the amount used per
person being approximately 3.8
pounds, while in some European
countries the consumption is 4 or 5
times this amount. Increasing the
consumption of cheese offers large
opportunities, for development of the
dairy industry. If the people of this
country would consume as much
cheese per capita. as the Dane, the
Englishman, the Hollander, the Ger-
man, or the Frenchman, 0‘: half as
much as the Swiss, it would create
a. market for 9,000,000,000 pounds
of milk more than is required at the
present time.

In discussing the development of
the dairy industry in the United
States it is shown that there has
been a steady increase in the total
production and value of dairy pro-
ducts, the number of dairy cows has
not kept pace with the growth in
population. In 1850, there were 275
cows per 1,000 population, while in
1920 there wereonly 215 per 1,000
persons. '

The period of 20 years from 1870
to 1890, however, was one of. rapid
development in the dairy industry in
the United States. Scientiﬁc methods
were applied to all branches of dairy-
ing. The use of the thermometer
became general. The centrifugal
separator was invented in Sweden
and brought to the United States in
1882. Large numbers of dairy or—
ganizations were started. The Bob-
cock test for measuring the quantity
'of fat in milk was given to the world
in 1890. Silos were ﬁrst constructed
in 1873 in the United States, and re-
frigerator cars were ﬁrst used in

.1875. , .

The average number of dairy cows
per farm varies greatly. Wisconsin
has 13.6 per farm, Vermont 11.3 per
farm, followed by ew York with
8.9, Minnesota. 8.3, California and
South " Dakota each with]? ‘

’-The eﬂ‘lcient dairy ‘herd mustbe

, A’study of yearlyvbutterfat and ill-7 ‘

come records of 18,014 cow-testing ;

association coWsshowed lupin~ and... L:

almost uniform increase in .incom-e‘

over cost of feed as production 111-, f7 "

creased. These records showed that

the cows giving 100, pounds of but-i

terfat a year produced an average '
income for the farmers above feed

cost of about $10; at 200 pounds of »
butterfat a year the income above,
feed cost averaged about $42; at

300 pounds a. year the'income aver-'

aged about $72; and at 400 pounds ,
of butterfat the average income over '

cost of feed was about $106 a year;
per cow. - ‘ , ‘

From these records and others the
conclusion drawn is that in the econ-
omical production of milk and but-
terfat, the largest gains are to be
obtained through the culling out', of
those cows that produce less than
4,000 pounds of milk containing 1983
than 160 pounds of butterfat. This
ﬁgure has been estimated as' the
yearly production of the average
dairy cow in this country. Selection,
feeding, and breeding could double,
this low average. With double the :
present average production, fewer
cows would furnish the present. sup-
ply .of dairy products at much less
cost. " '

In spite of the general recbgnition
of the value of purebred dairy cattle
and their efﬁciency in breeding up a‘.
herd for greater production, they
constitute only 2.92 per cent of the
dairy cattle reported on farms in
1920. These purebred cattle are
widely distributed over the United
States, there being very few states
that do not have representatives of
all ﬁve of. the breeds. There would
be a. tremendous economic gain to
the dairy industry if more of our
grade cattle could be replaced by
purebreds. The scrub and grade
cattle are, however, being gradually
though slowly improved by the use
of purebred bulls.

In 1921 there were less than 80,-
000 purebred bull calves registered
by the breed associations. But there
were probably as many more born
that were not registered for various
reasons,.many of which were slaught-
ered because their breeders were not
able to market them proﬁtably. This
is because the average farmer is not
yet convinced of the advantages to
be derived from the use of purebred
sires. If every purebred bull C’ilf
born in this country were raised, it
would take a three or four years’
crop of calves to replace the 600,000
scrub and grade bulls now being
used in dairy herds.

HOLSTEIN TOURS ROUNDING
INTO SHAPE
OUNTY Agents in the twenty-
ﬁVe Holstein Counties in which
the tours are to be staged, as
mentioned in a recent issue, are ar-
ranging for the line of march and
for the noon meetings. .
Roy W. Weinberg, County Agent
of Hillsdale, was the ﬁrst man to
send in his schedule. He writes:
“For the combined Holstein
Breeders and Calf Club Tour to be
held July 3lst, Mr. Matthias and I
have decided on ﬁve places to call, as
follows:

Eaton County, R. W. Tenny, 00.

for his day—July 30th. Tenny
writes as folldws: “The plan, tent-

N increase ol.’ nine tenths of one
per cent in number of pigs sav—
ed from farrowinge in the slx

‘months ended June 1, 1923. as com-
pared with the number saved during

' ' ‘the same period last year, is indicat-

ed in reports gathered by rural mail
carriers of the Post Chloe Depart-
_ ment for the United States Depart—
‘ment of Agriculture, from 140,000
, hog raisers in all parts of the
country. ‘
For fall pigs, hog ralsers have ex-
“ préissed an intention to breed 28.3
per cent more soWs than tarrowed
last tall. For the corn belt states
the increase is indicated as 25.5 per
cent. The Department points out,
‘ however, that last year the actual
farrowings ran less than the inten—
tions to breed. Producers in the
corn belt states last June (1922) ex-
pressed an intention to increase fall
breeding 49.3 per cent, but the actu—
al increase intarrowlngs was 27.8
per cent. In December, they express-
ed an intention to breed 15.6 per
cent more sows for spring pigs, but
the actual increase in sows farrow-
ing’in the spring was 8 per cent. For
the United States the December in—
tention was 13.1 percent, but the
actual tarrowings were 3.9 per cent
' greater. »
.The’presen-t survey shows a prob-
able continuance this year of the
tendency to increase fall breeding
proportionately more than spring
breeding. This tendency has been
evidenced both by the market re-
ceipts and farm reports for the past
two yen-s, especially in the corn
belt. and is making for a more uni-
form monthly distribution of market
receipts throughout the year.

NATIONAL MILK WEEK OB
DAIRY WEEK
HY not a National Milk Week
or Dairy Week? It's not a
new idea by any means and
enough has been done in some local-
ities to show that it is possible to in—
terest the public generally in dairy
products. ‘In St. ,Paul the fourth
Thursday ot'every month is that
city's ofﬁcial Dairy Day, and al—
though it is as yet a new venture, it
has been pronounced a success. The
St. Paul newspapers carry front
page material featuring the food

value of dairy products and; boost»

‘ ing dalrylng generally. One paper
conducts a. recipe contest. The
hotels and restaurants draw attrac-
tion to the signiﬁcance of the day on

_ _ their menu cards and serve special
, dairy dishes. The large depart-
ment stores cooperate by carrying a
reference to Dairy Day in their ad-
vertisements. One of their window

gadalry dishes. The crowd that gath-

months with their ﬁrst calf and then'
breed them so that they will calve
about 15 months from the date they
freshened the last time. If they
have just freshened, this would
mean that they be bred so as to have.
their calves a year from this fall. In
this way they will have an opportun-

- THE ‘ CONDITION ‘I' on: conﬁdant

NEIGHBORLINESS
UT is it so? ' ‘We hear this‘. as-
. sertion wherever We go—

“Neighbors are not what they
used to be." In o-ldentimes—not' so
very old, either—neighbors were
neighbors. They rejoiced with one
.another in prosperity, and gave sym-
pathy and support to one another in
misfortune. There was alWays time
for a , pleasant social evening togeth-
er. 'E'very farmer "‘changed work”
with his neighbor. -

the barnraisings—the cornhuskings

-—the old-time country-fair. Ah!-
those were the happy days. ,
Yes, those were happy days. But

what of ours today?

There is one great fundamental
.difference between olden times and
1923 times. That is transportation.
First, it was the steam-locomotive.
Now, it is the automobile. ,

When transportation facilities were
much less favorable than they are
new, communities were thrown to-

gether within themselves much
more. Each neighborhood was a
world unto itself. There was no es-
cape. Contact was close by com-

pulsion —— whether one liked the
contact or not. And since human
nature" Was human nature, then as
now, occasionally, one can’t help but
surmise, this contact was not wholly
pleasant or desirable in its conse-
quences. Farm feuds such as were
common in the old days are far less
common today.

“The way to have good neighbors
is to be one.” There is no place any-
where which less forgets or better
. remembers that great truism than
- the country.

Contact in the country is still close
enough to lend itself to the develop-
ment of real neighborliness. And
yet there is always, today, some es-
cape from the little world. The
married daughter upstate is seen
several times a year; in olden times
she might have been seen only once
in several years. The stimulating,
rejuvenating inﬂuence of contact
with new people, new scenes, is
easily obtained.

Coming back from an auto trip
away, who says it isn’t easier rather
than harder to be a good neighbor?

 

SPENDING MONEY TO MAKE
MONEY -
E can see old Grandmother
now, thrifty, shrewd 85-year—
old, as she claimed, “I knew
it!- I knew Ham Brown would end
in debt and failure.” And the rest
of us didn't press her for her ex-
planation. We knew what it was.
Hem Brown had adopted progressive
modern dair‘ying practices. He was
the ﬁrst in the township to “grain.”
As events worked out, poor manage-
ment in other things had put Ham

down and out.

‘ Grandmother didn’t. believe in
graining. She was a type, some of
whom, among the very old, are still
found in farming communities.
Plenty of good well-cured hay and
fodder—~yes. Grain? Only when
you are fattening for slaughter.

It is hard for the present genera-
tion to realize the'widespread farm
prejudice against “graining” for
milk which existed for years after
that practice was ﬁrst introduced.
Many of the thrfftiest and the
shrewdest held out against it. And
there was a reason for it——ea1i in-
ground farm trait which today still
holds a great many farmers back.

Feeding grain to cattle for milk
was a form of spending money to
make money. That was why it
came hard—-it was spending. The
race of farmers had. learned this
secret of accumulation: Do without.
Spend as little as possible." Save as
much as you can. ‘

To'open up and spend freely seem-
ed in conﬂict with a fundamental law
of thrift. True, there was a, chance
of greater proﬁt, but why abandon a
sure thing for-a chance? . -

Economic conditions in recent
years have changed. The man who
has made the most money is the man
who . has spent money to make
careful, ,lcautious, 11151118.," spending.

SLIM'E IN SEPARATOR

. N THE issue of June 23rd, W. 8.,

Of Morley, Mich., asksthe cause
of slime in the cream separator.
Will you please pardon me if 'I answ-
er that question for them as Profes-
sor Lucas did not answer just. to my
satisfaction. If W. S. is very care-
ful to thoroughly rinse each part of
the separator in plenty of warm (not

hot) water before .putting it in the ‘

water centaining any soap or soap
powder then wash and scald as us-

ual, I know they will have no further ,

trouble. I know from experience.
The milk and the cows are perfectly
all right as far as, the slime is con-
cerned. The trouble lies in the
method of washing separator.——Mrs.

MUSIIGS OF A PLAIN FABMER‘

 

. HERE was only two families re-
mained home June 21st in San-
ilac county. The whole popu-

lation turned out to the annual farm

bureau picnic at Sanilac Park on the
shores of Lake Huron.

I understand the
“these two unfortunate households
were quarantined or they too would
have been present. ‘

Someone said there was eight
t—housand people there but I hap-
pen to know they were wrong be-
cause .I counted ten thousand cars
and surely every car would have to
have a driver.

But anyway we all set the table
under the trees and satisﬁed the in-
ner man.

I drank 2 quarts of cold tea ﬂavor-
ed with lemon and ate 17$ pound of
picnic ham besides a liberal” helping
of salad, pie, cake, etc. I was short
of breath all, the afternoon. '

Crowding, I believe the doctors
call it. ‘

The. band played “Hail! Hail! The
gang’s all here!” And we gathered
around' the platform.

“Honest” Dare Knight made the
address of welcome, and introduced
the speakers. _ .

‘ County Agent J. D. Martin outlin-

ed the progress the bureau has made

and said he was tickled» to see us.

Then came Mr. Quame of the Fed-
eral Farm Loan Board of St. Paul.
Mr. Quame gave a splendid talk and
farmers should not miss an oppor-
tunity to hear him.

-‘He was followed by our state rep-

resentative, Philip O’Connell, who‘

gave an instructive talk on— taxatiOn
problems.

Then came our old standby, Dr.
,Mumford. The mosquitos swarmed
on my back in mass formation, but I
stayed and heard Do- out. I lost
some blood but was well paid for it.

The picnic was a gala affair all
through. Good speaking, lots of'
water, ; plenty of heat and every-
thing. .

I 'would write more about it but

ing the wire squeak. The other six- "

MANY DISEASES IN FLOCK

I wish toask a little advice about
my hens. There are so many of
them that the feathers come out or
break .off "their backs. ' (They are
‘Rhode Island Reds.) They seem to
be healthy. A while ago two hens
started dumping and they had diar-
rhea and their combs turned purple,
and they died—one did and I killed
the Other one. Now there are sev-
eral seem to be all right, combs red,
but they get big bunches on their
feet between their toes‘ and they
break ’and matter comes out, one is
a little lame but the rest are not.
I feed good corn and oats,
fresh water and they run out and
get all the green stuff and gravel
they want—H. S., Caro, Mich.
——Evidently you have a number of
unrelated symptoms in your poultry
ﬂock that are causing these various
troubles. The loss of feathers over
the back is a ‘common occurrance in
the breeding pen and may be due,
either to the presence of male birds
in the ﬂock during the breeding sea-
son or to wearing out the feathers in
gaining entrance to the nests. The
former. trouble, however, is very
common. There is no cure for this
complaint- The birds will usually
moult and lose their feathers during
the regular moulting period. The
two birds that were lost undoubtedly
died of apoplexy. This is .a common
trouble during the spring and sum—
mer, especially among large fat
hens. The fact that the combs turn-
ed purple indicates a congested cir-
culation, possibly due to the accum—
ulation of internal fat. Severe cull-
ing and proper feeding is the only
method to eliminate losses among
this particular type of fowl. The
appearance of so-called bunches on
the feet and between the toes of the
fowl is known as bumble foot. This
is supposed to be due to hens ﬂying
from high roosts or in case of shal-
low coops, the hens jumping directly
to the ﬂoor. Some» hens are more
sensitive in this respect and develop
bumble foot very readily. These
bunches should be lanced, releasing

lots of .

the pus after which any good dis-
infectant could be used. The trouble
is not considered very serious and it
will affect only one- or two individ-
uals—E. C. Foreman, Associate
Professor of Poultry Husbandry,
M. A. C.

BABY CHICK MEN TO HOLD AN-
N UAL MEET IN WASHINGTON
HE eighth annual convention of
the International Baby Chick
Association. will be held in
Washington, D. 0., Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday, August 8th,
9th, and 10th. The following is the
tentative program as arranged. You
will note especially that the dates
have been changed from the 1st, 2d,
and 3rd to the 8th, 9th, and 10th, in
order to bring the International
Baby Chick Association and the
American Poultry Association con-
ventions on adjoining weeks and
thus facilitate the joint attendance
of persons at both conventions.

On Tuesday, the day preceding the
convention, there will be a meeting
of the Welfare Committee and the
Board of Directors, Wednesday will
be devoted to the business of the
convention, reports of important
committees, Boards, and the Presi-
dent’s address, and, in the evening,
a most important address by Edward
Brown of England on the subject
“The Poultry Outlook in Europe.”
Thursday morning will be devoted
to a. discussion followed by addresses
covering some of the most important
problems which are facing the baby
chick producer today. The after-
noon will be given over to a business
session followed by a banquet with
informal discussion of the transpor-
tation problem at which repreSenta-
tives of the Post Ofﬁce Department
will be present. Friday afternoon
one of the features will be a sail on
the Potomac River and a trip to
Mount Vernon. 011 Saturday special
arrangements are being made with
the Bureau of Animal Industry for a
trip to the Government Poultry
Farms at Beltsville.

RUIT AND OR( HARD

Edited

THE BERRY MENACE

HIS is the time to look for rasp-
berry diseases. Afflicted plants
can usually be detected without

much diﬂiculty and should be remov—
ed at once.

Orange rust is frequently found
on wild raspberries and blackberries,
from which it is transmitted to culti-
vated plants. It is easily recognized
by the orange colored spores on the
leaves and young growth. Plants
thus affected are weakened and in a
year or two die. There is no cure.
The plants should be promptly dug

-out .

Mosaic and blue stem are appar-
ently the same. The disease is not
yet well understood, but it is evi-
dently something that should receive
prompt treatment. Affected plants
should be cut out at once as the dis—
ease spreads rapidly. If a cone has,
dark leaves with light green spots it
is to be looked upon with suspicion.
If the leaves,or some of them, curl
downward and are. undersized, while
the new cones are bluish near the
base, the whole plant having a sickly
look, it is best to dig it out.

Leaf curl is not conﬁned to red
raspberries, but is not frequent on
others. The foliage is dark and, as
may be inferred from the name,
curly. It is causing much damage
to Cuthberts and some other kinds,
while Kings are not often afflicted.
The fruit of diseased plants is small
and crumbly.

There is no remedy for either
the mosaic or the leaf-curl, but much
can be done, to prevent the spread of
the diseases by cutting out all weak
and sickly plants as soon as noticed.
Care should also be taken to secure
stock from healthy cones when sets
ting new ﬁelds.

ten years old that has never had a
blossom. Can you tell me what to
do, if anything?———N. B., Grandville.

Try girdling. Select a limb, if
you do not Wish to risk the Whole
tree, remove a narrow ring of bark
completely around it, as narrow as
you can, but be sure that you go en—
tirely through the bark, so as to sev-
er the connection between the bark
above and that below the ring. Do
this between the latter part of June
and the middle of July. The wound
will close up and next year there
should be fruit.

This treatment should induce
if anything will. Even a
Spy has been made to bear at seven

it does not produce fruit till ten or

IS is .what many wise farmers
g are going to do more than ever,
(it being. the port oi prudence at
a tune when some. ism grooms
make so much (letters-returns than
others. Some farmers say they in-
tent! to cease growing wheat, but
‘ this does not seem generally advis-
able, although lowering the - wheat
acreage might be a good thing. It
is true, wheat has sunk to an unre-
munentiye price, but perhaps next
year prices will go much higher be-
cause or! lowered acreage. Hogs
have had an enormous fall in prices,
and it does not pay out to feed the
present high-priced corn alter the
pigs reach a moderate size, but men
who have prospered for a long per-
iod of years by feeding hogs are not
going out of business, even if they
, diov breed fewer sows. A discourag-
ing feature of. the ﬁarming industry
. is found in the boom in wages paid!
to helpers, but this is met in part at
'leost by reducing the acreage to;
what one man can handle, harvest
time excepted, and then quite a.
number oi farmers are increasing
the yield per acre by using more
manure and other fertilizers. Many
men who paid extreme prices for
farms during the inﬂated war period
nosw regret doing so, and the farmer
who owns clear of mortgage a nice
‘ little farm and raises a. little of
everthimg is not going to fail. Most
Michigan farmers do not need to be
reminded that a. small took of sheep-
is a handy thing to own, the manure
alone being a valuable article, and
some cattle, with hog: following
them in the pasture, are well worth
owuing. 0i worse, a silo is indis-
pensible for stock feed, and the
farmer’s Wife can be trusted to see
that there are plenty of hens, while
a vegetable garden, orchards and
grape vines help out a lot. 1hr the
territory near Chicago more farmers
than ever before are keeping hives
of bees, and many of them cultivate
ﬂowers to encourage them to manu-
facture honey, while stands holding
‘hzoney are offered for sale to the
thousands of automobilists traveling
, through the farming districts.
Enlarged Corn Acreage
The Department of Agriculture in
its July crop report states that the
hay crop of the United States is only
94,000,000 tons, comparing with
113,000,000 tons raised last year.
The corn acreage is placed at 103,-
310,000 acres, comparing with. 102:,—
428,000 acres in 1922; and While it
is early to talk deﬁnitely about the
crop, it estimates the yield at 2,877,-
000,000 bushels, which compares
with 2,831,000,000 bushels harvest—
ed last year. A year ago the com-
ing corn crop was estimated at 2,-
860,000,000. bushels. Corn was
planted about two weeks later than
usual in a large part at the corn belt
but it has been shooting ahead rap-
idly under hot, forcing weather, with
fair rainfalls. The report indicates
a promise of plenty of all grain for
home consumption, as well as for ex—
port, there being a promise of
5,249,000,000 bushels, or 6,009,-
060 bushels over the ﬁnals returns
‘ in 1922-. The wheat crop is estimat-
. ed at
- 41,000,000 bushels less than the
ﬁnal returns last year. The spring
wheatcrop otthe four northwestern
states is placed at 167,000,000 bush—
els, comparing with 220,000,000
bushels harvested las year. The
oats crop is estimated at 1,284,000,-
000 bushels, or 83,000,000 bushels
more than that of 192.2. The rye
crop» is estimated at 69,000,000
bushels, being less than’lm year;

while the barley crop is estimated at.

198,000,000 bushels, or 12,000,009
bushels ahead 0! 1922. On; the
ﬁrst of July the farmers .of the Unit-
ed Slates held, it, wulesti-aed, 35,-
604,000 bushels of. wheat, compar-
ing with 32,359,000 bushels a year

wheat still lower, sales being made
below $1, and there was not much
conﬁdence on the part of holders,
with a much smaller export trade in
wheat and floor of late than a year
ago and no large buying of wheat by
American mill-ere. The United
States visahle‘ wheat supply exceeds
that of a year ago‘, but it is not ex-
tremely large, being 3) out 25,090,-
000 bushels. In striking contrast,
the visible corn stocks are down to
the insigniﬁcant amount of about
3,060,000 bushels, comparing with
28,779,000 bushels a year ago, and
so much corn has been converted in--
to lard and meats that there is going
to be a shortaee in all probability
before the growing crop can be har-
vested. .

Obviously, corn is in a strong poe—
ition, prices still tending upward
and ruling far higher than in recent
summers. Corn, as well as oats, is
in much smaller export demand than
a year ago, but considerable rye and
barley are being shipped to European
countries. The visable not supply
is down to about 7,000,060 bushel-s,
comparing with 42,400,000 bushels
a year earlier; while the visible rye
supply aggregates 15,450,000 bush-
els, comparing with only 1,195,000
bushels a year ago. Speculative in-
terest centers in wheat, and expan—
sion in the wheat area of the prim
cipal exporting countries and the de~
creased buying power of western
Europe have caused present low
Wheat prices, according to a report
by a committee of economists and
statisticians who had assembled at
the invitation of Secretary of Com-
merce Wilson. It was recommend-
ed that American wheat growers
take steps during the coming au-
lower the winter wheat
acreage, now about 14,000,000. acres,
above the pre—war average. It was
pointed out that a corn shortage may
devel‘ope by the summer of 1924, a
heavy hog production having wiped
out large corn surpluses. July
wheat sells in the Chicago market at
99% cents, comparing with 31-15%
a year ago; J’uy corn at 84 cents,
comparing with 62% cents last
year; July oats at 38% cents, com—
paring, with 34% cents last year;
and July rye at 63% cents, compar—
ing with 84% cents a year ago.

People Are Eating Beef

Much has been said of late about.
advocating eating more meats, but
it would appear that beet is already
a popular article. of. food, for large
marketing; of beef cattle are going
into consumption rapidly, and prices
for all good to prime beeves have
held. up surprisingly well, with re—
actions following weak spots when
supplies happen to be unusually lib-
eral. Cattle are selling at much
higher prices than (me and two years
ago, and good proﬁts are being re-
turned to men Who understand the
game. Prices are tar below the in-
ﬂated war ﬁgures, but all fat cattle
are selling far higher than in pre-
war times, and turning back to 1913,
it is recalled that common to prime
steers were selling at $3.60 to $7.85,
these prices comparing with $6.75
to $11.50 paid in the Chicago market
recently- The bulk. 01 the steers
have been selling at $9 to $11, with
good lots taken at $10.25 and up-
ward and choice hooves at $11 and
upward. Middling kinds sold at $9
and over, with sales down to “TI
to $8.75 for common to fair light
steers. The best yearling. were not
any too numerous and sold at $11. to
$11.25, with too large o-pcrcentuge
of poorly ﬁnished yearlings and
Limited new

graded well sold high, with not any
over large supplies, heifers that
graded well fetching $8.25 to $10.25,
but less attractive heifers brought
$5.50 to $7.50, while plenty of cows
sold at $3.35 to $5.25. Cancer and
cutter cows brought $3 to $3.50,
bulls $4 to $8 and calves $5 to
312,50, while there was a small
trade in smokers and feeders at $4
to $8.25, mainly at $5.25 to $7.25.
Last week’s Chicago cattle receipts
were much smaller than a year ago,
and prices were well maintained.
Large numbers of prime weighty
steers brought $11.50. A year ago
common to prime steers brought $0.-
80 to $10.60 and two years ago at
$5.50 to $9.50. '
Hogs Marked ed liberally

The logs are in the country, and
they are moving to market rapidly,
owners not caring to held after they
are in fair marketable condition. At
times, as happened in mm of July
week, supplies are held back, but

buyers of the better class or! hogs,
and their operations helped to
steady prices. Marry grassy sows
were marketed, and prices have wid-
ened! out materially, the bull: 0:! the
transactions covering a range of
over $1. Prime light hogs sell high-
est, with the best heavy butchers
about 20 cents below them. The
domestic consumption of fresh pork
products and cured meats and lard
continues extremely large, but lard
exports are running much short of
a year ago. According to the recent
government report, the spring pig
crop was as large as’last year in the
corn belt, when the number exceeded
all past records. Last week’s Chi-
cago hog receipts reached: unusually
large proportions, and at. the close
sales were made of common to prime
grades at $5.70 to $7.55, comparing
with $0.20 to $8.05 a week ago and
$8 to $115.05 a year ago». At this

for the year aggregate 23,164,060
hogs, comparing with 18,092,000 a
year ago and 38,718,000 two years
ago.
Larger Lamb Supplies

The Chicago- mrket has been re-
ceiving much larger supplies at
Ian-he, free shipments being mode
from. the ranges of Idaho and Wash-
ington, and much lower prices, were
paid than a short time ago or one
and two years ago. Prices are far
below war values, but they are far
above pee—war times, the best lambs
having brought $8.20 eight years
ago and $7.55 twelve years ago. An
active. demand exists for feeders and
breeding ewes, but very few are
oiered, and good lots sell high,
Within a week lambs have sold oil
as much as $1 per .100 pounds, buy-
ers paying $8.50 to $15.25, with.
feeder lambs at $12 to $13. Ewes
sold at. $71.50 to $7, wethers at $5! to
$8., bucks at $2.50 to $3 and breed.

DAIRY PRODUCTS—While butter
gained strength most of the week
and price advances occurred, the
tone at the close was barely steady
to weak, poor quality due to hot
Weather defects has had the eifect
of cutting down the percentage of
top grades, causing a scarcity of
these and some accumulation of und-
ergrades. _

markets fairly ﬁrm and active fol-
lowing advances of around 1c in
Wisconsin on Monday which placed
trading generally on a higher price
level. Considerable quantities have
been bought for storage. Rains and
cooler weather in some of the princ-

quality showing considerable im-
provement during the week. Cheese

BETTER BOOK-KEEPING
REQUIRED
In order to encourage greater at-
tention" to good book-keeping meth-
ods among the local marketing as-
sociations, the directors of the Mich—

recently ruled that no credit will be
extended and no loans made to locals
unless a monthly ﬁnancial statement
is made and ﬁled with the Enhance
