Legislature Delays Vote (lo M. A. C. Name

Both Senate and House Pass Bill Turning Over Construcion and Maintenance of State
Trunk Line Roads to State Authorities

By STANLEY M. POWELL

(Lansing Correspondent of The Business Farmer.)

former members compris—
ing the. most numerous occu-
pational group among the 1925
legislators, it is no wonder that they
are getting down to business now
that there are signs that an early
spring will soon be upon us. Com-
mittees'have been increasingly active
and the session has now reached the
stage where important bills are meet-
ing their fate on the floor of the
House and Senate each day.
Prospects are bright that this ses-
sion Will see the enactment of some
real worth while tax reform mea-
sures which will lessen the burden
upon the general property of the
state. Realizing the menace of tax
exempt securities and the unjust bur—
den which their issuance imposes up—
on real estate, the Senate is consider—
ing favorably the companion bills
placing the annual speciﬁc taxes up-
on foreign and domestic securities.
Attacking the problem of the
growing tendency of Michigan muni—
cipalities to plunge headlong into
bonded indebtedness, Senator How-
ard F. Baxter of Grand Rapids has
introduced a bill providing that only
serial bonds be issued, except in cases
where a sinking fund is established
into which annual payments are
made amounting to as much as would
have been paid if serial bonds had
been issued. The bill provides for
limiting to six mills the amount to
be raised to retire bonds and setting
30 years as the limit they may run.

Income Tax Proposed 0

An amendment to the state consti—
tution to provide for a personal in-
come tax has been proposed by Rep.
Wilbur B. Snow of Comstock. The
resolution further provides for the
abolishing of the primary school in-
terest fund and the placing of the
property of public utilities on the
general tax roll.

The blll sponsored by Rep. Charles
Evans of Tipton, which would give
the State Tax Commission authority
to pass upon the tax exemptions re-
quested by the charitable homes of
fraternal societies passed the House
86 to 2. Rep. Evans believes that
this bill will add about $50,000,000

_to the. tax rolls of the state. 7
Early in the session it was rumor-

ed that a bill would be introduced
abolishing the present three-man
State Tax Commission and substitut-
ing a one-man commission. How-
ever, this proposal aroused very

strong opposition among the rural
members. They pointed out that it
was probable we would have a De-
troit governor most of the time and
with a one-man tax commission also
from Detroit it would be too much
centralization of authority regarding
tax matters in the hands of the‘
Wayne County interests. In view of
this sentiment among the members,
the‘ plan for a. one—man tax commis-
sion has been abandoned and now
Rep. Charles Evans of Tipton has in-
troduced a bill providing for a State
Department of Taxation with a board
of three members,-one to be a full
time man and the other two members
to devote part time to the work.
Such an arrangement will give some
measure of protection to the rural

~districts of Michigan.

Pass Highway Bills

Real progress is being made with
the program of highway legislation
agreed upon by Senate and House
leaders. The Atwood bill authoriz-
ing the State Highway Department
and the State Administrative Board
to lay out and construct 500 miles of
new trunk line mileage was passed
unanimously by the Senate, while
the House approved by a vote of 71
to 14 Rep. Ming’s bill which turns
over the construction and mainten-
ance of the state trunk line system to
the statevauthorities and will by
January 1, 1926 entirely relieve the
various counties of any responsibil—
ity, ﬁnancial or otherwise, in con«
nection with the state’s trunk line
highway system.

Senator George C. Hunter of St.
Johns has introduced a bill which
would give the State Public Utilities
Commision authority to order rail-
roads to install wig—wags,

at any crossings designated by the
Commision. The Commission is ex-
ercising such authority at present
but does not have full legal author-
ity to. do so.

The alarming increase in crime in
Michigan is stirring the solons to the
point where they appear to be ready
to take extreme action. The House
of Representatives, which during
past sessions has repeatedly killed.
capital punishment bills, now seems

electric.
'blinkers and other warning signals

in a mood to pass the McEachron bill,
which is the death penalty proposi-
tion before the 1925 legislature.
This bill slid through general orders
with apparently strong support and
has been made a special order of
business for Thursday afternoon,
March 12.

Would Revive Whipping Post

Another severe measure intended
as a crime deterant has been pro—
posed by Rep. Charles Culver of De-
troit. His bill provides that for any
crime punishable by life imprison-
ment the trial judge might impose
the further sentence of “ten to twen-
ty strokes of the lash on the bare
back, well laid on at the end of each
six months of imprisonment.” The
bill provides that the ﬂogging would
be done by the warden of the prison
or his aid under his direction. The
total number of lashes could not ex—
ceed 300 strokes.

Despite the frantic efforts of some
of the Wayne county delegation, the
measures to increase the Wayne
county representation in the Senate
and the House are still retained in
the committees to which they were
referred. It is not certain whether
they will be reported out or not.
Some signiﬁcance is attached to the
fact that the House has passed un-
animously the Dykstra resolution
providing for submitting to the peo-
ple the question of whether there
shall be a general revision of the
state constitution in 1927. Some peo—
ple feel that with this constitutional
convention looming up in the near
future the whole matter of re—appor-
tionment should be left for settle-
ment at that time.

Members of the legislature who
take seriously their duty in connec-
tion with appropriation bills are con-
siderably concerned over the fact
that, after all, no matter how care-
fully they may do their work it does
not matter much anyway, as the
State Administrative Board spends
money as it sees ﬁt, with or without
legislative authorization. Senator
Harry H. Waitley brought these facts
to light when he submitted a state—
ment of information which he had
secured from the State Administra-
tive Board showing that since the

Agricultural Products Now On Level With Other

. By DAVID FRIDAY

Former President of the Michigan Agricultural College

0 many people have been busy of
late telling us of the need for a
balanced agriculture that no one

has had time to call our attentmn
to the fact that the most serious
18-ch of balance has disappeared.
When the Bureau of Labor Statistics
brought out its index number of
wholesale prices for December, 1924,

'all commodities stood at 157 as

against 100 in 1913. This was a sur-
prising advance from the previous
month and from the low prices of
last June. But the biggest surprise of
all was that farm products also stood
at 157, or exactly on a level with an
other commodities. Thus the bal-
ance between the prices of agricul-
tural and other commodities has
been restored. Now the same index
number for January stands at 160
for all commodities, while farm pro-
ducts are at 163, which is well
above the general level.

The lack of balance between these
prices, eras it was commonlycalled.

serious grievance. In January, 1922,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics index
number touched the lowest point to
which it fell in the post-war depres
sion. At that time all commodities
stood at 138, farm products at 122,
and non-agricultural commodities at
150. Surely this spelled hardship
for the farmer. I

It was in that month that Presi-
dent Harding assembled the agri-
cultural conference in Washington.
By April, 1923, 15 months after this
conference, the index number of all
commodities had been carried up to
159 by the business revival. This
was the highest point it reached.
But farm products stood at only 141
while non-agricultural commodities
brought 176,. -'

. Prices Decline

Prices began to fall that spring,
and’by»..lnne, 1924.81! commodities
had got down to 146. ‘ Farm ro-
duets stoodat 134 and 

It

 

out

this depression of the prices of farm
products as against the things which
the farmer bought which gave rise
to his discontent. If it could be rem-
edied, the farmer’s worst troubles
would be solved.

The late Secretary Wallace, in dis-
cussing the situation in the spring of
1922, said:

“If it were possible to bring up‘

prices of everything to about 60 per
cent above the pre-war level, that
would beneﬁt most of our people
and the nation at large.“

The Bureau of Labor Statistics
index number of wholesale prices for
January reached the mark set; and
farm products were actually above
other prices. The indications now
are that the index number for farm
products will stand above the non‘
agricultural groupior some months
to come. In short, the balance bo-
tween farm products and other com-
modities his been W mt
which has been overlooked in the

       

    
 

legislature last adjourned the State

Administrative Board had expended 2

$1,600,000, without any authoriza-
tion from the legislature.

A realization on the part of the ~
House members that when the 803- ,

sion was over they would have a
rather vague idea as to how much

money they had appropriated and for ‘

what purposes, led them to adopt,
with a roar of approval, Rep. Miles

S. Curtis’ resolution providing that '

within 30 days after the adjourn-
ment of the legislature each member

should be furnished with a statement ;
from the Auditor General as to all .,
of the appropriation bills which had '

been passed.
Delay M. A. (‘. Name Change

Since the last issue of THE BUS- ,

muss FARMER, the proposition to,
change the name of: the Michigan ;
Agricultural College has received -
little favor. When it became evi- :

dent that the proposal to change the :
name of the East Lansing Institution v

to the Michigan State College would
be defeated if it came to a vote in

the House, the bill was re-referred ‘

to the House Committee on the Mich»
igan Agricultural College. Chair—
man Strauch of that committee has
advised your Lansing correspondent
that he sees little usc of reporting
out such a bill as long as the House
members continue in their present
mood. lle declares that the propos-
ition might make progress if it were
introduced in the Senate and such
action may be taken. .

Rep. Chester Howell’s bill permit-
ting Boards of Supervisors to issue
bonds not to exceed $75,000 for
erecting or purchasing buildings for
agricultural fairs passed the House
89 to 3.

From a strictly agricultural point.
of view, perhaps the most important
bills now pending are those relating
to the eradication of bovine tuber-
culosis and for making the Federal
potato grades compulsory in Michi—
gan. This latter bill has been the
subject of several conferences and
hearings and will probably be re-
ported favorably by the Senate Com-
mittee on Agriculture in the near
future. This committee has reported
out the appropriation for paying the
indemnity on tubercular cattle, but
has cut the appropriation from $500,-
000 for each of the next two years
down to $250,000. The bill is being
considered by the Senate Committee
on Finance and Appropriations.

current discussion of the agricultural
situation.
Error in Analysis

Those who insist that the balance,

is not yet restored, and who base
their objections on the fact that some
farm products are not yet 60 per
cent above the level of 1913, make
two errors in their analysis. In the
ﬁrst place they fail to distinguish be-
tween the prices 01’ all farm products
alnd of certain speciﬁc ones like cat—
t e.

The other factor which is over-
looked is that some of these farm
prices do not stand very much above
1913 because that happened to be a
a year of high prices for the pro—
duct in question. Live stock. for
example is not much above 1913 in
price at this time. But good to
choice steers were bringing a far
higher price in 1912 and 1913 than
they had ever brought before. In
1910 they had averaged $7.02 per
hundred, which was the best ﬁgure
up to that time. The average tor
this grade of steers for the 12 years.
1900 to 1911, inclusive, was $5.87.

 
    

 
 
  
 
  
  
   
 
 
 
  
 
  
  
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
 
   
 
  
  
 
  
  
   
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
  
  
  
 
  
   
  
   
 
  
  
    
   
  
  
   
 
 
 
  
  
  
 
  
  
  
 
 
 
  
  
 
   
    
   
     

 


 
 
  
  
   
   
  
  
  
  
   
   
 
 
  
   
  
  
  
    
 
  
   
  
  
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
  
   
  
   
  
 
   
  
  
 
 
 
  
 
 
  
  
 
 
  
   
   
  
  
 
  
  
 
 
  
   
 
 
 
 
 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
 
   
  
  
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
 
  
   
     
   
    
   

3 would seem that so many articles
have been written and so much
has been said that every farmer
_aising beans would have Robusts.
But they don’t. In‘ Tuscola county
Where some men have been growing
,obust beans for years. there are
{still many men who think that the
Robusts won’t give the yield they get
rom their early wonders or 1200-1
ﬂr'some other variety.
,. Mr. Sims. County Agricultural
,Agent in Tuscola County,, thought
that it would be an excellent plan to
have some bean variety tests in the
oeunty. He would have some of his
farmers plant a row of several vari—
eties side—by—side in their bean ﬁelds.
These could later be harvested,
«threshed and then compare the
yields. That ought to indicate which
group of his farmers were on the
right track, the ones growing the R0—
busts or those sticking to the old
‘faithfuls. .
What he planned, Mr. Sims car-
ried through. He arranged with the
Farm Crops Department, M. A. C. to
supervise and lay out the work, fur—
nish some of the seed, thresh the
beans, and compute the yields. He

“Emma” was a champion Holstein
cow that was proudly exhibited for
our approval in the Zuider Zee
country in Holland. She had :1 rec-
ord of 53,000 pounds of milk in three
successive years and was an excep-
. . ional cow in every respect. Every

at least two pictures of this great,
cow, as she was pointed out to rep—

which the Dutch breeders were work-

It was a bit awkward for a mo—
ment. but the good old doctor rose
nobly to the occasion. “Emma was
a cow, you see, Mrs. Shoup, a cham—
pion Holstein down in Holland. She
was a record holder and a really good
cow.” The doctor raved on.

The mischievous colonel then sly—
ly complimented the doctor on his
presence of mind in saying that Em-
ma was a cow——-slyly,lbut loudly
enough for Mrs. Shoup to hear. This
only operated to conﬁrm any sus-
picions that. the lady might already
have had concerning the nature of
“Emma" and it horriﬁed the doctor
to think that he was being made to
appear as an ally in double dealing,
to protect an erring husband.

The truth was that Mrs. Shoup
cared nothing about Dutch “Emmas”
and much less about Holstein cows.
She had heard all about Emma be—
fore anywaymbut she didn’t see any
use in furnishing good music when
her farmer guests insisted on talking
about old rows.

Most of the cows in Holland are

the Holstein and Dutch Belted. We
visited the farm of (J. Neefje near
the Haarlem Lake Area which was

supposed to be typical of 3 Holland
dairy farm. The cows are kept on
pasture during the summer months
and never go inside the stable. There
were rugs on the barn ﬂoor. lace cur—
tains at the windows, and valuable
old Delft plates placed around the
stalls for ornament. The servants

the stalls.
fully clean.

Everything was pain—

little alcoves opening onto.

In the Holland cities we had ob—
served that everything is scrubbed,
except the people, but it seemed that
in the country even the people were
scrubbed. The house and cheese
factory and barn were all together
and each part was as clean as the
rest. ‘

At the time of our visit Mr. Neefje
was milking 17 Holstein cows on
his farm. These cows averaged
about 7,000 pounds of milk each and
it was practically all made into
Gouda cheese, for this 'was in the
Gouda district. In this district about
90 per cent of all the milk is made
into this particular variety of cheese
under government supervision and
regular inspection, although each
maker also stamps on the cheeses
his owu individual label and number.

During the summer Mr. Neefje was
making four of these huge Gouda
cheeses per day, each one weighing
about 80 pounds. They are cured in
the stable for four weeks, the curing
process including frequent rinsing
in salt water. A good Gouda cheese
must cure for at least six more Weeks
in cool storage before it is consider-
ed fit for consumption.

Before leaving Gouda and Haar-
lem Lake Area, we visited the fam—
ous bulb districts of Holland, espec—
ially those at Lisse where the state
maintains phytopathological labora-
tories \for the purpose of preventing
spread of disease among bulbs for
export from Holland. Our guides
Were particularly desirous that we
visit these great laboratories and
they left nothing undone to impress
us with the fact that the bulb grow—
ers of Holland use every caution that

believe that if you will recollect you
will agree that the. best variety of
wheat you ever had was occasionally
beaten, the same could be said of any
other grain. When the boys start a
rasslin’ match round the threshing
machine, which-one doyou bet on?
The best of them gets thrown once in
a while but-if he usually lands on top
he is the best. And anyway it takes
two falls out of three to win.
Well,,the same thing can be said
of the Robust, it usually landsson top
too. That’s what counts. You

noticed that the 1200—1 beat it on

Mr. Van Allen’s farm,.but the Robust
was high on the other two farms and
the average was over four bushels
per acre in its favor.

These tests apply all right not only
to .Tuscola county but. to others as
well. The Farm Crops Department;
M. A. C. has been conducting such

'tests as these for several years in dif—

ferent parts of the state as well as
at East Lansing. If you want to
know what Robust beans have done
in your part of the state, write the
Farm Crops Department.

Buy some certiﬁed Robust beans
this spring and give them a trial.
Your county agent can give you the
names of growers who have some
seed inspected by the Michigan Crop
Improvement Association.

can be taken to be sure that no plant
disease shall invade the bulb dis—
tricts. ‘

Ten million dollars worth of
bulbs are exported from Holland
every year and half of these come to
the United States. Our own country,
then, is the best customer of the bulb
districts of Holland which support
these thousands of thrifty Dutch peo—
ple. But on January 1, 1926, daffo—
dils are to be cut. off the list of im-
portations into the United States,
and there are other restrictions and
limitations placed by our government
upon the shipment of bulbs from
Holland into the United States. The
people of Holland resent every one
of the measures. Some of them may
be unjust, and may be prompted
more by the danger of business com~
petition than by any plant disease
the bulbs may carry into the United
States, and it is the purpose of the
remove as many of
these restrictions as they can. Here
was an opportunity.

Except on Long Island and in
parts of Florida. Michigan and Cali—
fornia and only in small areas of
these places, ~can good bulbs be
grown in our own country, and on
account of the great difference in
the cost of labor and the natural
efﬁciency of the extreme intensiﬁed
farming methods of the trifty Dutch,
it is difﬁcult for us to compete with
the Holland bulb growers.

The climate in this narrow strip
of land that is called the bulb dis—
trict of Holland, is nearly ideal for
bulb culture. The land is level, with
the same depth of water table so
that all the bulbs get the same
amount of water. The winters in
this small bulb district of. Holland
are not too long, nor too cold; they
do not have a hot spring to push the
bulbs too fast and too early. They
get cheap, but highly skilled.labor,
the people who have worked in bulbs
for generation after generation. One
enterprising bulb salesman was on
the same boat with me when I re-
turned. He was coming to the Uni-
ted States to sell bulbs and he said
he had always worked with bulbs on

‘the same farm where, his father, his

grandfather, and his “lover-grand
father” had always worked in bulbs.

SPECIAL meeting next Thursday

night,” phoned Tim Holly, Sec-
rotary of the Society.

“How’s that,” says I, “don’t the
president generally call such meet-
ings. Who authorized you to talk
for me?", and I was kind of warm
under the collar.

Tim was a good boy, and didn’t
mean anything, he says, and told me
he didn’t say that. A bunch of the
boys wants a special, he explained.

“Oh, that’s different. Well, if they
want it I guess we can have 'it, only
we ain’t got no speaker, Tim. Maybe
we can get the County Agent to talk
on something. He’s pretty good at
that, oh?"

“Don’t need a. speaker if what I
hear is true,” shoots back Tim.
“There seems to be something in the
wind that needs looking after.”

So we arranged the meeting and
Maria‘was as curious as a. high school
girl. All day Thursday she kept put—
ting questions to me and when I
couldn’t answer she got kinda huffy.

“Well, I hope it’s that Ladies'
Night you fellows have been planning
for the past six months. I’m getting
tired of waiting. All you fellows do
is talk and no action.”

Eight o’clock found us, the Smith
boys and me, at the Odd Fellows
Hall where we met. Because it was
a special meeting most of the boys
was there, and already Tim was
spending most of his time in the
kitchen ﬁxing up the refreshments.
We always had something to eat as
our meetings ran till late. Once
when we was organizing the elevator
association it was one thirty before
we quit and Maria was sure mad
when I got home.

Just then Fred Kelley came‘in
with a stranger and brought the fel—
low over to see me. Kelley runs the
oil station on the court house square.
He is the son of Michael Kelley who
was one of the pioneers that settled
Jackson City. Mike had been dead
for several years but I remember
his telling how he drove oxen out
from Cleveland back in ’52.
lot of money, too.

Fred’s friend, Henry Dike, was a
middle aged fellow who looked like
a preacher. He was, we found out
later. but was not working at it now.

I along,

Left a.

Dike carried a little case and was a
pretty good sort of chap.

Fred said Dike had something he
wanted to talk on and explained to
me and while I was" suspicious, I
agreed. You see Dike had been'in
town for several days and had been
talking to the boys. We had been
sawing wood and that was the reason
I missed out. '

Well, the meeting was called to or-
der in regular form, me presiding.
and Kelley was introduced.

"Friends," says Kelley, “I come
before yen tonight as I believe we
have something unusual for your
eyes. vOur good friend, Dike. who by
the way was a friend of my father’s
and who has been known to Ma and
us youngsters for a long time, has
been out west. While I am no pro-
phet. yet I have been talking to Mr.
Dike. for several days and am sure
that he has a real message for us."

With that Dike got up, carefully
adjusted his coat. wiped off his head,
and opened up his case and set a
contraption on the table before him.
It looked like a. little engine. Out of
the bottom of the case he took a
bunch of photographs and set one.
a picture of an elderly man, up in
front of the engine. Again be clear-
ed his throat and began to talk.

Most of his ﬁrst ten minute talk
was devoted to praising Mike Kel-
ley, telling what a ﬁne man he was,
which was true, and then he began
talking about a‘fellow by the name
of Rowell. It seems that he and
Roweii had been to preachers’ college
together, but Rowell, that was the
fellow who’s picture he had. was of
a mechanical turn of mind. For years
he worked on engines and starved
sometimes having not more
than a-few dollars to live on for
weeks at a time. But he always kept
working on his one idea, and told
about an engine that would revoluo
tionize the ordinary gasoline type.
“And”. says Dike, picking up the
model in his right hand and the pic-
ture of Rowell in the other, “let me
introduce to you the man who has
made the discovery of the century.
Folks, meet. Mr Roweil, and meet
his engine.” '

It sure was a great talk. Dike
showed how the engine worked. He

The Lesson of Lean Years

Lean years—such as those passing—often lead to long proﬁts
because of the lessons learned in cutting the cost corners.

   
 
 
 
 
    
 
   

Progressive farmers have found that good farm machinery,
particularly the tractor, does more to reduce costs and increase
yield than any other one thing.

With the Fordson they have found that they can not only do

general tillage operations faster and better, but can use it for

belt jobs and routine work of all kinds at a big saving in both
time and effort.

So it is no wonder that farmers generally are facing an era of
better prices With every conﬁdence that the things they have
learned in the lean years are going to lead to better proﬁts in
the better ones ahead of them.

CAN SUE FOR BREACH OF
CONTRACT

I started: to take acorrespondence
course with an engineering school
an electrical, course, and was to pay
ﬁve dollars a month until completed
but in the meantime I decided it was
too hard and so much work so I
thOught I would discontinue it. They
are now trying to make me pay for
the whole course Whether I go any
further or not.—B. M., Capac, Mich.

U the contract, the company could
sue you for breach of contract
and recover damages. This would
cover such items as the value of the
books furnished you and possibly the
commission of the agent who sold
you, etc.7‘but they could not recover
for the full value of the course if you
did not take it.—Legal Editor.

PEDDLING ARTICLES

Does a person have to have a li—
cense to go through the country sell-
ing articles that he has manufac-
tured himself, such as brooms or
things like that? Does he have a
right to go out and sell books and
make immediate delivery, or must he
_take orders and deliver at some fu-
ture time?—~S. L. K., Carson City,

0U would be required to apply to

the State Treasurer for a license

to sell your goods. The cost
would depend upon the manner in
which you intend to travel, whether
by foot or by vehicle. You could
make immediate delivery of the
books you sell if you so desire.—
Legal Editor.

TAKE ACTION AGAINST SELLER

I bought a cow and he said she
would be due in March and I do not
think she will be fresh at all. Can I
do anything about it? I bought a
farm on contract and was to pay a.
payment of a certain amount and the
interest and taxes each year, if I
paid the taxes and interest could he
put me off? I have paid it all before
and do they have to foreclose on a
contract the same as on a mortgage?

be an action against the seller

representation or for breach of war—

MEASURING THAY

I would like to ask if there is a
rule for measuring alfalfa hay in the
barn, in as much as it is heavier than
other hay? It seems there' ought to
be a rule to work it out so that both
parties Would be satisfied—F. F.,
Perry, Mich.

OUR hundred cubic feet of alfalfa
hay is a conservative estimate
for a ton. If the hay was allow-

ed to become over-ripe before being
cut, or if it was coarse it might re-
quire 450 or 500 cubic feet to make a
ton—F. E. Fogle,-Assistant Profes-
sor AgriculturalEngineering, Michi-
gan Agricultural College.

CREOSOTE RUNS DOWN CHIMNEY

What can I do to prevent creosote
from running down my chimney?
Am burning partly dry, some partly
green wood.——V. P. S., Alamo, Mich.

REOSOTE is formed when wood
is burned without having sufﬁc-
ient oxygen to burn freely. More

creosote is formed from green wood
than from dry wood, and more is
formed from some kinds of wood
than others. Beech, I believe, is one
of the woods giving off most creo—
sote. It is sometimes impossible to
prevent creosote from forming in
pipes and chimneys. There are, how—
ever, some precautions which may be
taken to lessen the trouble.

If some dry Wood can be burned
with the green wood the difﬁculty
will be lessened. If small quantities
of wood can be put on the ﬁre so
that it is not necessary to completely
close the draft less creosote will be
formed. So far as I know, there is
nothing that can be added to the ﬁre
that will stop the formation of creo-
sote. Since creosote is formed from
condensation, the better draft that
can be had through the stove pipe
or chimney, the less will be the con—
densation, also one would expect to
have less creosote forming in a. brick
chimney than in a stove pipe of a.
metal chimney.——F. E. Fogle, Assist-
ant Professor of Agricultural Engi-
neering, M. A. C.

CHANGE THE DATE

EAR Editorz—Referring to the
heading “What the Neighbors
Say” in regard to Mr. P. G. C.’s

letter of January 17th, it may be all
right in Gladwin «county to leave the
date as it is but up here in Antrim
county where the snow is from two
to six feet deep in some cut down
hills, it is almost impossible, when
you have to go about eight miles, to
get to the polls. I think it would be
a good idea to have the date changed
to the ﬁrst Monday in May. As for
the time, any man ought to be able
to take a day off for a real business
meet. We all like to go. “Love thy
neighbor as thyself.”——E. B., Antrim
County.

CHANGE NAME OF DHCHIGAN
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

EAR EDITOR: From time to

time there appear articles ob-

jecting to changing the name of,
the Michigan Agricultural College
and it seems desirable to bring out
certain facts that are not apparent to
the casual observer. The writer be-
lieves that he appreciates to a large
degree 'the ﬁne spirit that prompts
some folks to revere the name of M.
A. 0., her traditions and her splen-
did'"achi‘evemen‘t and he nopes that
nothing Said here may mar that
spirit of loyalty. May that spirit be
broadened and extended until it in-

For some years it has been aparent
that graduates of certain courses
have been handicapped by the word
“Agricultural”. Engineering gradu—
ates of M. A. C. go to every part of
the United States and employers of
technical men frequently do not rc~
alize that a good Agricultural Col-
lege presents good work in engineer—
ing and react unfavorany to the
word “Agricultural”. A number of
engineering alumni have suffered un—
justly on account of this unfavorable
reaction and in the spirt of fairness
this handicap should be removed.

The College catalog for the year
’23—’24, page 293, shows a Winter en-
rolment as follows:

 

 

Agriculture .................. ..466 27.56%

Please note that Home Economics
and Engineering rival in numbers
the Agricultural Division and that on
the basis of attendance the name
“Agricultural” is not justiﬁed. The
Institution is really a. University in
that it gives instruction, conducts
research, and confers degrees, and it
should be given a name which more
truly‘indicates its, nature, j-S-I‘he name
“Michigan State College” will do this
and it carries with it a dignity and a

Some Folks just naturally seem
to step out ahead with their '

acre. Their corn grows greener during the sum-
mer and hardens early with a big yield. They get their truck crops to

their community. They are people who know how to make money farmingr
They know good fertilizer and where to buy it. Thousands of them have

' Can You Tell the Diiiereneo?

It Was a. no big ﬁeld, well. drained
and in ﬁrst-class shape. He bought
a bag of seed like No. 1, but before
he ﬁnished seeding he had to go back
to town for another peck to ﬁnish
out with. As his dealer had no more
of the same brand, he gave John
another kind, which was just as high
test and looked fully as good.

 

 

The next spring anybody could tell, by the
looks of the Alfalfa, just where John left
off with the ﬁrst seed and started with the
second. The ﬁrst gave a good stand, while
the second came up patchy and poor.

 

 

According to the tags, Brand No. 1 con—

Too Muph of a GM Thing

I am reminded I promised in my
last article to tell in this one about
some garden failures as I have
known them. «Several years ago we
had a neighbor farmer who took
great interest in his garden. He had
help on the farm so he could take
care of his garden in nice shape and
he did have a line garden for three
or four years after he bought the
farm, but year by year his garden
seemed to‘ fall in "production and
quality of product (if much 9f its
contents. This despite his increased
effort to make it a success. '

One day in early spring, while
visiting him, he said it was nearly
time to plo'w his garden, but he had

How One Garden Came Back

Have in mind 'a city friend’s gar-
den. This friend, like the farmer
mentioned above, always took the

- best care of his garden, and for years

had one to be proud of. The soil was

quite black, low ground loam. Rath- '

or hard to plow if at all wet. This
man kept a\ horse, and his garden
like the farmer’s, received too liberal
quantities of stable manure every
spring. His potatoes, etc., began to
fail “year by year, and when at his
request, I suggested a cause, and told
him too much manure, he, like the
farmer, did not think that could pos-
sibly be it, and insisted on keeping
up with the annual application. I
told him well and good—if he was
determined to continue the stable
manure on that low black soil, he
should buy some potash and sew it
liberally. This did not interest him,

-and he said he thought maybe the

seasons were changing!

'A year or two after this, the horse
was sold. There was no manure to
put on his garden, but three or four
loads of good ashes were procurable
that spring and these he hired haul-
ed and spread on his garden. The
result was far beybnd the owner’s ex-
peetation. And each year since, this
garden has given a good account of
itself.

Another City Garden Fails

This friend had quite a large gar-
den, and took great delight in mak-
ing weeds scarce and the ground mel-
low. He had little, if any, manure to
use on it and gradually his crops be-
came poorer. The soil was ﬁrm and
solid. In sort of desperation he
bought some manure and had the
garden cayered during the early win-
ter. The next spring he had it plow-
ed a‘nd seeded to oats and alfalfa.
The oats were cut by. a neighbor for
hay and the. alfalfa, which seemed
rather small at the time, came on
and grew ﬁne. It was cut twice the
next year for hay and the following
spring the garden was plowed again
and a real old time garden bloomed
forth, such as the owner had never
dreamed of nor expected.

 

CONFERENCE ON RURAL ELEC-
TRIC SERVICE AT M. A. C.

, N Friday, March 20, 1925, there
will be held at the Michigan Ag-
ricultural College, a conference

for the purpose of discussing the

problem of electric light and power
service for the farmers of Michigan.

Systematic study of this subject
has already been begun in Minnesota,

Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kansas,

and other states at the instance of

a national Committee on the Rela—

tion of Electricity to Agriculture.

The principal speaker at the con—

ference on March 20 will be Dr. E.

A. White, Director of the national

committee, who will outline the prob—

lem and make suggestions for study-
ing the/subject in Michigan. Oppor-
tunity for full discussion will be pro-
vided and it is hoped that a con-
structive program. for the work will
be one of the results of the Confer—
ence. In fact the College feels that
the subject of electric service in rural,
living is very important and is pre-
pared ,to, undertake a study of that
subject it Essured of the interest and
cooperation of the several interests

TEXT: “God, having of old time spoken
unto the fathers in the prophc'ts * * * *'
hath at the end of these days spoken
unto us in his son.” Hebrews 1:1, 21).»

“ HE Essential Gospel.” , This
is the title of a book or pam—
phlet now current. I have nev-

er seen it or read any review of, it.

But there is something thought-pro-

voking about those words. “Essen-

tial.” What does that mean? “In-
dispensany necessary”, says Web-
ster. And again, “The essence of.”

What is the essence of God’s revela—

tion to man? Is the “Sermon on the

Mount?” But see also Psalms 40:

1—10, Micah 6: 6-8, Jno. 14: 6, and.

Matt. 22: 34-40. But theclue to

God’s word for men lies in the small

compass in the words of our text.

“God having of old time spoken
unto the fathers in the prophets.”

“In the prophets.” There is some-

thing ,very personal and rewarding

about that conception of the pre-
sence of God. God is not sitting on
some faraway, imaginary throne and
has not left his created world to run
itself. But he is in men seeking and
working dominion over the earth.

When God is in the prophets we are

glad to listen to their essential mes-

sage. And that message is that the

Jehovah 'God is a God of character

and that men 'who are made to image

him must strive to become like him.

God is just and humble and loving,

and so must men become. This is

the gospel of righteousness that 'was
ringineg demanded by the prophets.

Of course, we have such a belief

hinted at outside the religion of Is-

rael; but for the most part, God was
recognized there as .being a power
and awe quite apart from personal
character. And because Israel fell
into this false notion and the pagan
belief that God is to be paciﬁed
through the observance of rites and
ceremonies, the prophets set them-
selves against it. Their insistent
word is, that God is moral in charac-
ter and v-tlierefore can be pleased
alone by moral responses in his chili
dren. '

But you say, “Why tell us this?

We know that true religion can not

be divorced from morality. “But

what is essential? What is religion
in highest terms? The idea is yet
too common and persistentthat re-
ligion consists in stated periods of
worship and ordinance keeping. As

I am writing these words, in a coun—

try church not many miles away, a

woman healer (‘?) has set up tem«

porary headquarters. People are
seeking her by the hundreds, I am
told. What idea of healing have
these folks? It is enough to say that
pagan tricks and quackery have no-
thing to do with the true and sound
healing art. It is colossal humbug-
gery. This is superstition in heal~
ing. And there is yet ,not a little
superstition in religion. Not a few
people believe that their salvation
lies in the observance of rites and
ceremonies some of which have
nothing to do with morality. And in
the prophets, God is condemning
ceremonies that are not moral and
social in purpose. Micah has it
this way, “What does Jehovah re-
quire of thee but to do justly, and to
love 'kindness, and to walk' humbly
with thy God?” And yet rites are
necessary to a functioning religion
when of such a nature as to stimu-
late mbral and social likeness to God.
Certainly, the essential gospel of the
prophets is that God is righteous and
delights in personal and social right-
eousness in his children. This ,is
emphasized in the Phalms which are
models of personal devotion, and in
the Wisdom literature which is so
highly ethical. , '
Then, after a long period of pro-
phetic silence, God in John the Bap-
tist speaks in anticipation of the
coming of Christ. The essential

.mesSage again centers around re-

pentance and the fruits of holiness.

It had to do, preeminently,”. with

character rather than ceremony. But

is well to remember that our ﬁnal.

and solemn transaction with God is
to be negotiated on the" basis 'of some
31-46.
Verily, religion is life outside the
church—house.

Now, our text says, “God hath at
the end of these days (days of the
prophets) spoken unto us in His
Son." And we hear the Son say, “I
am the life.” Jesus put reality‘into
the prophet’s message. Paul fol-
lows, “If any man be inputhis life he
is a new creature.” That is he is
renewed into the likeness of God. To
this end was the church founded and
Christian rites instituted. The es-
sential Gospel, then, is the good news
that mankind is to be redeemed.
personﬁly and socially, so that when
“He (God) shall be manifested we
shall be like him.” We can be sure

there is no magic pewer (however' ' '

mystical it is) that can win for us
our heaven.
moral likeness to God.

Again, God’s uSon says, “I am the
way.” And “The Way” must have
been the. identical words by which
the apostles referred to the early
church, because the enemies of ﬁrst
century Christianity designated the
movement-as “The Way.” There
arose no small stir concerening the
way.” And out of persecution and:
even violent deaths, early Christian-
ity was kept at high moral levels.
Compromsing was not in vogue. An~
anias and Saphira tried it but met
with disaster. The Narrow Way kept
to the highlands of moral purpose to
be separate from the world and to be
like Christ until the fourth century
when Christianity became the reli-
gion of the state: Then there was
swift descent to the lower levels of
compromise with the world. Pagan
elements entered the church, and-
soon the notion developed among the
masses that' rites and ceremonies
constitute orthodox religion. Folks
yet expect to get to heaven this way
and are not prayerfully in earnest
about following “The Way.”

.But you say, “I am faithful in
church attendance, and at prayers,
and have a good name in the com-
munity.” Well, this is at least re<
spectable, though it should amount
to more.
fharisees were models of such re-
spectability. And Jesus said to
them, “The publicans and harlots go
into heaven before you.” You see,
there is a pride and hypocrisy that

The essential thing is _.

as uncleanness and adultery. It is

way to redemption is to desire seri-
ously to be like God who made us
to be like him, and who showed us
how, in Jesus Christ, we might and
could be like him. This is the es-
sential Gospel.

And now, I believe that the thing j

about Christianity which is so dis-
pleasing to the masses today, is not
so much the church ritual, but the
exacting moral standard of Christ.
Prohibition and laws in favor of a
clean Sabbath are too exacting. And
many of these complaints are church
members in good standing. Others
oppose sexual standards which are
uncompromisingly Christian. Others
are engaged in selﬁsh oppression of

ter? Ah, a rejection, not of rites.
but of moralities. The life principles
of the Christ are being repudiated
by his,own professed followers. Yet.
there are notable examples in the
church that are honestly pleading
and practicing the way of Christ in
the various areas of living. Dr. Ken-

' TROUBLE WITH THE SHORT
\VAVE STATIONS

ITH the present arrangement of

broadcasting stations there are

a great many working on the
waves between 200 and 300 meters,
and you no doubt have noticed the
difﬁculty that you have in tuning in
these stations sharply.

There are several reasons for this.
amongst which are that your tuner
may not be selective enough and that
it’s tuning arrangement is such that
the tuning is very broad. The cause
of the trouble is likely to be that the

variocoupler or variometer has too-

many turns of. wire on it so than it
can not tune down low enough or
that the condenser (variable) is of
too great Q. value and a very little
change in it changes your receiver
from one wave to another.

One of the easiest ways of separa-
ting these low wave stations is to use
a condenser of lower value so that
you have to make quite a change in
dial setting to go from one station
to another.

If you are now using a condenser
of .001 mi. capacity (43 plate)
change to one of .0005 mi. capacity
(23 plate) this will mean that you
Will have to turn your dial nearly
twice as far to make the same change
in wave length that you did with the
01d condenser. In some instances
you will need to go down to even an
11 plate condenser to separate the
stations far enough to tune them in
sharply.

At this season of the year we are
apt to hear many of the very low
power stations that you cannot hear
in the very warm weather. A wave
trap will also help you to get rid of
some of the interference when listen-
ing to these stations that come in
so close together.

"The Farm Paper of Service”

 

M. A. C. WILL STICK I

HE. proposition which certain interests at-
tempted to crowd through the legislature to
change the name of the Michigan Agricul-

tural College to “Michigan State College” has
been referred to the House Committee and will
be given serious consideration and ample time
for discussion and investigation before it again
appears on the surface, which is improbable at
this session.

Our Lansing correspondent tells us that it was
quite interesting to stand “on the hill” the morn—
ing the last issue appeared and note the little
groups of representatives reading over their
copies of Tm: Busmnss FARMER and our editorial
comments therein.

We cannot believe that it was much of a sur—
prise to those representatives who come from
farming districts to understand why their con-
stituents would oppose giving up a name which
is so highly cherished by them.

Let us keep the Michigan Agricultural College
an institution for the promotion of those interests
for which it was founded in the State of Michigan,
even though it may not grow so large as to rival
our other institutions of learning, which must
be paid for out of the same tax—payer’s pockets.

The farm organizations, the farm leaders and
the farm press of the State of Michigan ought to
stand absolutely united and for all time, against

the possibility of another attempt under the cover ‘

of secrecy to oil‘ through the legislature any such
blunder.

We sincerely thank those readers who acted so
promptly in advising their representatives what
they thought of such a change. We feel that
they were the “Minute Men" who jumped to their
arms when we took the role of Paul Revere and
cried for their help.

With this kind of a solid front the farmers of
Michigan can maintain a proﬁtable and happy
agriculture in what we believe to be the greatest
state in America, for all time.

Thank you! \J-J

PROSPERITY SEEN BY MELLON

TEARS of “prosperous and healthy conditions
1 such as succeeded the election of 1896"

‘ were forecast for the United States by An-
drew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, in the
annual report of the Treasury sent to Congress.

The Secretary's views are based, he said, on
the repudiation of “various theories inconsistent
with economic laws" and the endorsement of a
program of constructive handling of Government
affairs given in the last election. He counseled
the Nation, however, to approach its problems
with intelligence that the progress made and the
groundwork laid in the last four years may not
come to naught. 4 I

The United States, he asserted, was the ﬁrst
world power to come through the post—war trans-
ition stage successfully and the ﬁrst to be able
to present “reasonable assurance" that “true
progress” will continue within its borders. Mr.
Mellon urged perpetuation of the program
adopted by “the great majority of our peeple in
the, last election" which be interpreted as one of
“hard work, and economy and sound policies."

In general economic conditions as well as in
the domainof federal fiscal operations, Mr. Mellon

recounted how complete the transition had been.

collapse of‘prices in 1920 and 1921 has been
rectiﬁed.

“While recovery of agriculture has been slow.
it has been substantial, and today, due largely
to changing conditions in world crops and world
markets, faces a new era. The maladjustment
between agriculture and other industries has been
removed, and the farmer is nearly restored to his
proper status in the economic system," he said.

NEGLECTED HORSES

NqEN who are in position to observe have re-
J_ cently stated that farm horses are being

neglected and are consequently neither so
good nor so efﬁcient as they used to be. The
carless hired man is blamed for a part of this
and the owner for tire rest. Since ﬁrst hearing
this statement we have made inquiries which seem
to confirm it in th‘ee states at less . W'e appear
to need a rekindling of the old—time pride in farm
work horses. This is not sentiment, it is bus-
iness, for the horses which the owner is proud
are" the most efﬁcient in doing his worlg, How
can this interest be revived and maintained?
One thing that might help is a class forfarm
teams at local shows and fairs. Another is a
parade of farm work horses in connection with
picnics or local farm products shows or other
events in which both country and town partici-
pate. Thc horse is going to remain useful as
farm powm: The better the horse the more ef-
fective the ])OW(‘1‘, and we are all concerned in

T who was going out to install seats in a

school house. He said he owned a good
farm in central Illinois a few years ago but it
had lost him $27,000 beSides in speculating in
wheat. “That deal put me into overalls” was
the way be summed it up. He wishes that he had
stayed in overalls on his own farm, attended to
his business of production and left speculation
to speculators. And he is not the only man
who feels that way.

THE MISBRANDING BILL

N reporting the misbranding bill to the House
I of Representatives the Committee on Inter—
state and Foreign Commerce submitted a
rather lengthy document giving reasons for re-
porting it rather than any of the many bills for
truth in fabrics or other commodities. We need
not discuss these reasons; rather let us look at
the misbranding bill itself. It prohibits the ship-
ment in interstate and foreign commerce of any
misbranded article. An article is misbranded if

‘ it or its container bears or is shipped, delivered

for shipment, sold or offered for sale under any
name, description or statement which misleads
or deceives or is likely to mislead or deceive.
The deception is made illegal if it relates'to the
identity of the producer or the nature of his bus-
iness; to the identity of the purchaser; to the
endorsements of any person or any-employee of
any government; to quantity or quality: to com—
ponent materials; to rights of privileges under

, patent or copyright; to advertise in any‘form.

Deception in any of these things is mlsbranding
and is illegal. Any ya , fabric or wearing ap-
parel is, misbranded i it ( 1) bears the term
“virgin wool”- ,and it contains any wool of the
sheep or lambor hair of the Angora or Cach-
mﬁ coat.

A RENTER’S PBOBLEDI 0

RENTER. who has his own livestock and

tools, has three “very steady, good boys" and

two girls, the oldest boy nineteen. This
rentermnts to own a small farm and his boys
want to help himﬁhut they think they can help
most by working at something else.
ily council has decided to seek a farm near a
town or city, so that the boys may drive to work
and live at home while they are helping to pay
for it.
and where a truck or dairy farm near a town or
city can be found. The plan is good. if it will
work, and that can be determined in only one
way, by experience. We do not know any town

or city where there is always “plenty of war " ,

as the enquirer expresses it. Sometimes there

is plenty of work and sometimes there isn‘t, but -

with a farm in reserve the worker need not be
idle even if"his pay check fails. Maybe some-7
body knows a. farm that would appeal to this
family, which wants to stick together and pay

for it. -_

A CHANCE TO LEARN

IAST week William Goldman, a New York
J manufacturer of clothing, repeated his state-

ment that wool shortage is a myth, that the
world has a two years supply, etc. Probably

Mr. Goldman believes his statement and his sta- "

tistics too, but apparently nobody else does. If
he wants a demonstration let him offer a large

level. He will ﬁnd plenty of takers, and later he
will learn something more.

HIGHER HCGS

AST week’s hog markets indicated that the
bulk of the crop has been cashed, this turn
coming about a month later than was gen-

erally expected. Hogs advanced
touching $13 at Eastern points, but the advances
did not bring out big supplies as heretofore.

Predictions of $15 hogs for April are made, but
that may depend on a factor that has retarded
the progress of other things 1ately~—the attitude
of consumers. They may “back up” on has

pleats just as they have done on other meats

when they considered prices too high. There is
no other source of cheap meats, however, and
the consumers must turn to something else
rather than to some other meat. With dearer
hog meats we should see a better demand for
beef than in the recent past.

MERE QU ESTIONS

IF farming does not pay now and never has paid,
as a. great manufacturer asserts, how did

farmers ever accumulate the vast amount of
wealth they now hold. Were these millions of
good farms, with their stock and equipment,
created out of losses? Were the millions in good
and bad securities held by farmers paid for with
deﬁcits? If farmers can pile up such wealth.
out of losses what could they do if agriculture
could be made to pay? ’

A CORN-BELT QUESTION

READER asks what we would do if we had

to plan for years to come the operation of a

corn-belt farm. Theﬁrst thing would be
to determine the kinds of livestock to be kept
or finished, for We assume that a corn-belt farm
should be a livestock farm. Next would be to
study the crops best adapted to the livestock to
be kept or fed. In a crop program we would
scheme to reduce the area of wheat and to in-
crease the production of corn. For wheat may
be produced economically in many lands and
through many parallels of latitude while corn
can be produced best and cheapest in the corn
belt. How to raise more com on the same farm
and maintain or improve the fertility of it is quite,

a problem, but its solution-131mm while, mt’s, j . _

that you get in touch with one

of the good real estate bond houses
in Detroit because this is about as
safe a place as you can ﬁnd for an
investment of a small sum of money.

I believe that most of them make

a practice of making the principal

this is not an obligation on their part

VIGILANCE COMZM‘T’I‘EE SCORES

'FRAUDULENT CHICK REMEDIES

OR the ﬁrst time, the United
States Post Ofﬁce Department

has issued a fraud order cover- L

ing alleged cures for poultry dis-
eases according to announcement by
the National Vigilance Committee oi
the Associated Advertising Clubs of
the World.

The order was issued against the
H. M. Spahr Breeding Estate 01?
Thurmont and Spahr, Maryland, for
representing its products as the most
scientiﬁc drugless cure that has ever
been discovered for the deadly roup,
colds. canker, diptheria and chicken

GREAT LAKE’ FINANCE
CORPORATION
“Will you be kind enough to ad-
vise us as to the stock of the Great
Lakes Financial Corporation, Chica-
go, Illinois?"

‘ WE understand there is a nominal
q

notation of Great Lakes Fi-

nance Corporation stock of
around 3 to 4. The market is weak
and there is far more stock for sale
than there are purchasers to buy it.
Last year we understand that the
stock sold up around 7 to 8 when
they were helping to ﬁnance a sub-
sidiary. This probably was a good
deal manipulation and not a real
market.

The history of this concern is com-
parable with most of the numerous
ﬁnance companies that have sprung
up around the country in the period
just following the war when exhorbi-
tant rates could be obtained for loan-
ing money for yeculative purposes.
Since this fever has subsided, and
they must accept ordinary rates or
jeopardize their investment, the im—
aginary large proﬁts have not been
forthcoming.

MAKING GLOVES .

“What do you think of the com-
pany sending the enclosed circulars?
They advertise for people to sew
gloves for them in their own home
and say that they will purchase all
a person can make."

do not think well of such
work-at-home schemes. There
are several throughout the
country who have a “Home Sewn”
glove scheme and in all of the cases
we have heard of the worker is oblig—
ed to make an initial deposit of $5.00
to $10.00 with the understanding
that she is to make gloves for the
company, receiving a certain sum per
dozen pairs for the sewing. Reports
are that most of there companies do
not buy the ﬁnished product back,
claiming that they are not sewed pro-
perly or using some other excuse. So
the indications are that these fellows
are out for the initial payment only.
not expecting the worker to continue
with them.

The Post Oince Department has ar-
rested the oﬂlcials of several of
these companies charging them with
using the mails to defraud. One of
these companies is Kenneth Hackiey
of Earl Park, Indiana, whose scheme
seems to be identical with the one
you sent in. ,

(Continued from February 28 Issue)
. HERRILL opened the long envelope
from which several thin, folded
papers fell. He picked up the larg-
est of these which consisted of several
sheets fastened together with a. clip, and
handed it to Alan without comment. Alan,
as he looked at it turned the pages, saw
that it contained two columns of type-
writing carried from page to page after
the manner of an account.

The column to the left was an inventory
of property and proﬁts and income by
months and years, and the one to the right
was a list of losses and expenditures. Be-
ginning at an indeﬁnite day or month in
the year 1895, there was set down in a
’lump sum what was indicated as the total
of Benjamin Corvet’s holdings at the
time. To this, in sometimes undated
items, the increase had been _ added.
In the opposite column, beginning ap-
in 1895
were the missing. man’s expenditures.
The painstaking exactness of these left

no doubt of their correctness, they in-
cluded items for natural depreciation
of perishable properties and, evident-

ly, had been worked over very recently.
Upon the last sheet, the second column
had been deducted from the ﬁrst, and an
apparently purely arbitrary sum of two
hundred thousand dollars had been taken
away. From the remainder there had
been taken away approximately one hun-
dred and ﬁfty thousand dollars more.

Alan having ascertained that the papers
contained only this account, looked up
questioningly to Sherrill; but Sherrill,
without speaking, merely handed him the
second of the papers. . . . Thisn Alan
saw, had evidently been folded to ﬁt a
smaller envelope. Alan unfolded it and
saw that it was a letter written in the
same hand which had written the sum-
mons he had received in Blue Rapids and
had made the entries in the little memo-
randum book of the remittances that
had 'been sent to John Welton.

It began simply:

Lawrence—

This will come to you in the event that
I am not able to carry out the plan upon
which I am now, at last determined. You
will ﬁnd with this a list of my posses-
sions which, except for two hundred thou-
sand dollars settled upon my wife which
was hers absolutely to dispose of as she
desired and a further sum of approxi—
mately one hundred and ﬁfty thousand
dollars presented in memory of her to
the Hospital Service in France, have been
transferred to you without legal reserva-
tion.

You will ﬁnd deeds for all real estate
executed and complete except for record-
ing of the transfer at the county ofﬁce;
bonds, certiﬁcates, and other documents
representing my ownership of properties,
together with signed forms for their legal
transfer to you, are in this box. These
properties, in their entirety, I give to you
in trust to hold for the young man now
known as Alan Conrad of Blue Rapids,
Kansas, to deliver any part or all over
to him or to continue to hold it all in
trust for him as you' shall consider to
be to his greatest advantage.

This for the reasons which I shall have
told to you or him—I cannot know which
one of you now, nor do I know how I
shall tell it. But when you learn, Law-
rence, think as well of me as you can
and help him to be charitable to me.

With the greatest affection,

Benjamin Corvet.

Alan, as he ﬁnished reading, looked up
to Mr. Sherrill, bewildered and dazed.

“What does it mean, Mr. Sherrill?—
Does it mean that he has gone away and
left everything he had—everything to
me?”

“The properties listed here,” Sherrill
touched the pages Alan had looked at,
“are in the box at the vault with the
executed forms of their transfer to me.
If Mr. Corvet does not return, and I do
not receive any other instructions, I shall
take over his estate as he has instructed
for your advantage.”

“And, Mr. Sherrill, he didn’t tell you
why?" This is all you know?”

“Yes; you have everything now. The
fact that he did not give his reasons for
this, either to you or me, made me think
at ﬁrst that he might have made his
plan known to ‘some one else, and that
he had been opposed—to the extent even
of violence done upon him—to prevent
his carrying it out. But the more I have
considered this, the less likely it has
seemed to me. Whatever had happened
to Corvet that had so much disturbed
and excited him lately, seems rather to
have precipitated his plan than deterred
him in it. ’He may have determined
after he had written this that his actions
and the plain indication of his relation-
ship to,you, gave all the explanation. he
wanted to make. All we, can. do, Alan,
,is to search for him in every way we
Cart. There will be others searching for
him too now; for information oil—his dis»-
appearance has got out. There have'been
reporters at the ofﬁce this In Ting molt.

unvelope. and ,the envelope back into the
drawer, which he relocked.

‘ “I went over all this with Mr. Spearv
man this morning," he said. “He is as
much at a loss to explain it as I'am."

He was silent for a. few moments.

“The transfer of Mr. Corvet's properties
to me for you," he said suddenly, “in-
cludes, as you have seen, Corvet’s interest
in the ﬁrm of ‘Corvet, Sherrill and
Spearman.’ I went carefully through the
deeds and transfers in the deposit box.
and it was plain that, while he had taken
great care vwith the forms of transfer
for all properties, he had taken particular
pains with whatever related to his hold-
ings in this company and to his shipping
interests. If I make over the properties
to you, Alan, I shall begin with those;
for it seems to me that your father was
particularly anxious that you should take
a personal as well as a ﬁnancial place
among the men who control the trafﬁc of
the lakes. I have told Spearman that
this is my intention. He has not been
able to see it my way as yet; but he
may change his views, I think, after
meeting you."

Sherrill got up. Alan arose a. little un-
steadily. The list of properties he had
read and the letter and Sherrill's state-
ment .portended so much that its mean-
ing could not all come to him at once.
He followed Sherrill through a short priv-
ate corridor, ﬂanked with ﬁles lettered
“Corvet, Sherrill, and Spearman," into
the large room he had seen when he came
in with Constance. They crossed this,
and Sherrill, without knocking, opened
the door of the ofﬁce market, Mr. Spear-
man.” Alan, looking on past Sherrill as
the door opened, saw that there were
some half dozen men in the room, smok-
ing and talking. They were big men
mostly, ruddy-skinned and weather-beaten
in look, and he judged from appearance,
and from the pile of their hats and coats
upon 'a. chair, that they were ofﬁcers of the
company's ships, i'dle while the ships
were laid up, but reporting now at the
offices and receiving instructions as the
time for ﬁtting out approached.

His gaze went swiftly on past these
men to the one who, half seated on the
top of the ﬂat desk, had been talking to
them;
heart with a shock; he started, choked
with astonishment, then swiftly forced
himself nder control. For this was the
man wit whom he had fought in Ben—
jamin Corvet's house the night before—
the big man surprised in his blasphemy
0f Corvet and of souls “in Hell" who, at
sight of an apparition with a bullet hole
above its eye, had cried out in his fright.
“You got Ben! But you won’t get me—
damn you! Damn you!”

Alan’s shoulders drew up slightly, and
the muscles of his hands tightened, as
Sherrill led him to this man. Sherrill
put his hand on the man‘s shoulder; his
other hand was still on Alan’s arm.

“Henry,” he said to the man, “this is
Alan Conrad. Alan,I want you to know
my partner, Mr. Spearman.”

Spearman nodded an acknowledgment,
but did not put out his hand; his eyes—-
steady, bold, watchful eyes—seemed mea5<
uring Alan attentively; and in return
Alan, with his gaze, was measuring him.

CHAPTER VIII
Dir. Corvet's Partner

The instant of meeting, when Alan
recognized in Sherrill’s partner the _man
with whom he had fought in Corvet’s
house, was one of swift readjustment of
all his thought—adjustment to a situa-
tion of which he could not even- have

dreamed, and which left him breathless. 

But for Spearman, obviously, it was not
that. Following his noncommital nod of
acknowledgment of Sherrill’s introduction
and his ﬁrst steady scrutiny of Alan, the
big, handsome man swung himself off
from the desk on which he sat and leaned
against it, facing them more directly.

.“Oh, yes—Conrad,” he said. His tone
was hearty; in it Alan could recognize
only so much of reserve as might be ex-
pected from Sherrill’s partner who had
taken an attitude of opposition. The ship-
masters, looking on, could see, no doubt.
not even that; except from the excite-
ment which Alan himself could not con-
ceal, it must appear to them only an or-
dinary introduction.

Alan fought sharply down the swift
rush of his blood and the tightening of
his muscles.

“1 can say truly that I’m glad to meet
you, Mr. Spearman," he managed.

There was no recognition of anything
beyond the mere surface meaning of the
words in Speanman’s slow smile of ac-
knowledgment, as he turned from Alan
to Sherrill. .

"I’m afraid you've taken rather a bad
time, Lawrence." "

“You’re busy. you mean. This can wait.
Henry, if what you’re doing is immediate."

"I want some of these men to be back
in .Mtchigan' tp-night. Can’t we get to-
gether later—this afternoon? You’ll be
here this afternoon?" His, manner- was

“Yes; you have everything now. The
fact that he did not give his reasons for
this, either to you or me, made me think
at ﬁrst that he might have made his
plan known to ‘some one else, and that
he had been opposed—to the extent even
of violence done upon him—to prevent
his carrying it out. But the more I have
considered this, the less likely it has
seemed to me. Whatever had happened
to Corvet that had so much disturbed
and excited him lately, seems rather to
have precipitated his plan than deterred
him in it. ’He may have determined
after he had written this that his actions
and the plain indication of his relation-
ship to,you, gave all the explanation. he
wanted to make. All we, can. do, Alan,
,is to search for him in every way we

unvelope. and ,the‘ envelope back into the
fdrawer, which he relocked.

‘ “I went over all this with Mr. Spearv
man this morning," he said. “He is as
much at a loss to explain it as I'am."

He was silent for a. few moments.

“The transfer of Mr. Corvet's properties
to me for you," he said suddenly, “in-
cludes, as you have seen, Corvet’s interest
in the ﬁrm of ‘Corvet, Sherrill and
Spearman.’ I went carefully through the
deeds and transfers in the deposit box.
and it was plain that, while he had taken
great care vwith the forms of transfer
for all properties, he had taken particular
pains with whatever related to his hold-
ings in this company and to his shipping
interests. If I make over the properties
to you, Alan, I shall begin with those;
for it seems to me that your father was
particularly anxious that you should take
a personal as well as a ﬁnancial place
among the men who control the trafﬁc of
the lakes. I have told Spearman that
this is my intention. He has not been
able to see it my way as yet; but he
may change his views, I think, after
meeting you."

Sherrill got up. Alan arose a. little un-
steadily. The list of properties he had
read and the letter and Sherrill's state-
ment .portended so much that its mean-
ing could not all come to him at once.
He followed Sherrill through a short priv-
ate corridor, ﬂanked with ﬁles lettered
“Corvet, Sherrill, and Spearman," into
the large room he had seen when he came
in with Constance. They crossed this,
and Sherrill, without knocking, opened
the door of the ofﬁce market, Mr. Spear-
man.” Alan, looking on past Sherrill as
the door opened, saw that there were
some half dozen men in the room, smok-
ing and talking. They were big men
mostly, ruddy-skinned and weather-beaten
in look, and he judged from appearance,
and from the pile of their hats and coats
upon 'a. chair, that they were ofﬁcers of the
company's ships, i'dle while the ships
were laid up, but reporting now at the
offices and receiving instructions as the
time for ﬁtting out approached.

His gaze went swiftly on past these
men to the one who, half seated on the
top of the ﬂat desk, had been talking to
them;
heart with a shock;
with astonishment,

he started, choked
then swiftly forced
himself nder control. For this was the
man wit whom he had fought in Ben—
jamin Corvet's house the night before—
the big man surprised in his blasphemy
0f Corvet and of souls “in Hell" who, at
sight of an apparition with a bullet hole
above its eye, had cried out in his fright.
“You got Ben! But you won’t get me—
damn you! Damn you!”

Alan’s shoulders drew up slightly, and
the muscles of his hands tightened, as
Sherrill led him to this man. Sherrill
put his hand on the man‘s shoulder; his
other hand was still on Alan’s arm.

“Henry,” he said to the man, “this is
Alan Conrad. Alan,I want you to know
my partner, Mr. Spearman.”

Spearman nodded an acknowledgment,
but did not put out his hand; his eyes—-
steady, bold, watchful eyes—seemed meaS<
uring Alan attentively; and in return
Alan, with his gaze, was measuring him.

CHAPTER VIII
Dir. Corvet's Partner
The instant of meeting, when Alan
recognized in Sherrill’s partner the _man
with whom he had fought in Corvet’s
house, was one of swift readjustment of
all his thought—adjustment to a situa-
tion of which he could not even- have

dreamed, and which left him breathless.

But for Spearman, obviously, it was not
that. Following his noncommital nod of
acknowledgment of Sherrill’s introduction
and his ﬁrst steady scrutiny of Alan, the
big, handsome man swung himself off
from the desk on which he sat and leaned
against it, facing them more directly.

.“Oh, yes—Conrad,” he said. His tone
was hearty; in it Alan could recognize
only so much of reserve as might be ex-
pected from Sherrill’s partner who had
taken an attitude of opposition. The ship-
masters, looking on, could see, no doubt.
not even that; except from the excite-
ment which Alan himself could not con-
ceal, it must appear to them only an or-
dinary introduction.

Alan fought sharply down the swift
rush of his blood and the tightening of
his muscles.

“1 can say truly that I’m glad to meet
you, Mr. Spearman," he managed.

There was no recognition of anything
beyond the mere surface meaning of the
words in Spearman’s slow smile of ac-
knowledgment, as he turned from Alan
to Sherrill. .

"I’m afraid you've taken rather a bad
time, Lawrence." "

“You’re busy. you mean. This can wait.
Henry, if what you’re doing is immediate."

"I want some of these men to be back
in .Michigan' tp-night. Can’t we get to-
gether later—this afternoon? You’ll be
here this afternoon?" His, manner- was
not casualmAlan could not think of any,

explained how it was diﬂerent.
\ghowed ufs pictures and read about
the patent Mr. Rowell had.

"Now, friends, I am not a sales-
man, but I believe I have shown you
something of real value. Mr. Rowell
has organized a cempany' to make
these engines and tests are being
made at two big engineering colleges.
Here are letters showing these tests
are being run,”*and he passed them
over to me. ,

“I am not a salesman”, continued
Dike, f‘wha-t I want to do is to give
you an opportunity to get in on some-
thing that is bound to be worth while
in a short time. I do not know what
Mr. Rowell- has left in the line of in—
terests, but through your own boy.

.Mr. Kelley, you will be given a chance '

to invest if you care to. Now all I
want is the names of those inter—
ested.” 1

Well, every one signed up. We all
leoked at the'letters, the pictures,
and the model engine, ate some good
sandwiches, which I found out Dike
had paid for, and went home en—
thused. Here was a fellow who did-
n’t want :money on the spot. He was
willing to give us a chance to inves—
tigate, so we didn’t.

Then I heard one day that Kelley
had bought two shares. They were
$300 each. Kelley wouldn’t sell any,
but he told us Where we could send
for them. So I just decided here was
a real thing, ands-o long as Maria
had been so sure the last investment
was a good one, I decided it was a
good chance to get even and she
would be proud when she learned
how lucky I had been. I made my
check to Kelley, who sent it on.
Hank Peters, after asking me a lot
of questions, did the same. In fact.
fourteen of us, we found out after-
wards, took interests.

Of course 'we received shares and a
personal letter from' Mr. Rowell
thanking us. Maria got the mail
the day it came, but to my surprise,
didn’t have much to say.

“That much is worth experiment—
ing with,” she grunts. “You get that
much fun dreaming over the fortune
you are going to get." “I didn’t quite
understand that part but didn’t talk
about it as she was liable to change
her tack most anytime.

From then on Kelley’s oil station
replaced the post ofﬁce as a loaﬁng
place. Kelley had secured a set of
pictures like those Dike had and he
got letters from Dike which he let
us read. They sure was optimistic.

One day Kelley got a letter from
the Secretary of the company. A test
had been made in the east and a
newspaper had written it up. The
clippings were enclosed. Say, we
pretty near wore out those papers
reading about it. At the end of the
letter it was reported that most of
the shares were gone and it was ex—
pected that a raise was due any time.

The most of us who could had Kel—

ley send for more shares. I took
two more.
Then the storm broke. Our local

paper ran an article saying Rowell
was a faker and that the company
was in trouble for not complying
with a Blue «Sky Law in Wisconsin.
Considerable stock, the reports said,
just had been sold locally and it
was rumored an investigation was

on. .

Instead of the Agricultural Society
meeting which was scheduled that
night, most of us met at Kelley’s.
Kelley was game though. He came
out and offered to buy back any
shares any one wanted to sell at the
price they paid. No one sold either.
gut we did go and bawl out the ed-
1 or.

Well, the town was pretty hot for
a couple of weeks. Kelley was mad,
so was the editor, and then one day
when the Sun, our paper, come out,
here was the worst blow.

“Local Folks Trimmed” was the
heading. Maria was reading the pa-
per.

“Well, William, I see you have
been stung again. Your $10 has
given you a lot of fun, but this paper
says there is nothing to it and that
the company is “,merely a paper can-

_ cernf'an‘d has been for seven years.

Exceptional dependability has been a char—
acteristic of Dodge Brothers Motor Car-
since the day the ﬁrst of these sturdy cars
was marketed. ’

Not once in a decade has it failed to uphold
and enhance its reputation for faithful per-
formance.

The reason for its consistent goodness and
continued betterment points directly back to
the ideals of the founders.

Instead of ﬂuctuating between an endless
series of annual models, they determined to
concentrate on the perfection of a single
chassis.

Dodge Brothers Motor Car today is the
embodiment of that ideal—an ideal that
will endure as long as the institution itself.

Sugar Farming

on New'York Central Lines

HE American people are the greatest consumers of
“Sweets” in the world. Our sugar consumption in 1923
exceeded 5,000,000 tons, of which American farmers pro-

duced 1,250,000 tons.

A great sugar beet industry was started in 1897 in
. Michigan and Ohio, along the New York Central Lines. To-
- day seventeen factories employing more than ﬁve thou-
sand men are reﬁning the 1,400,000 tons of beets produced

annually by 20,000 farmers in these states.

There is large opportunity for greater and more proﬁt-
able development of this industry. Beet sugar production
ﬁts so well into any farm program that both the fertility of
the farm and the prosperity of the farmer are beneﬁted.

More farmers, each year, are realizing the many advan-

.. tages accruing from the cultivation of a portion of their acre-

‘75' . age in sugar beets, as part of their crop rotation program.

New York Central Lines not only provide large numbers

of gondola and box cars, and special switching and freight

movements for both beets and sugar, but also have

a corps of trained agricultural men assisting farm-
ers with production problems.

Cross-word puzzles came in style
Only a short while ago

But everybody’s working them

Any place we go. ~V

Some folks sit up till three o’clock
Lost in the cross-words gnarls,
It‘s nearly dawn, before you’ll hear
Their steps upon the stairs.

What’s another word for mother
And another word for go

I’ve racked my brain with this one.
And yet I do not know.

Cross-word puzzles we are told
Help to elevate the mind
They haven’t helped ours any
As far as we can ﬁnd.

» But of one thing we're quite certain

We’ll tell it here to you

Everyone it’s safe to say

OUR BOYS AND GIRIE

Dear Uncle Ned:~—I have never writ~
ten to you before but I have decided to
do so now. My father takes the M. 1". F.
and I like it best of all the magazines
we take. I always read the Children's
Hour but have never written before. I
guess I am too bashful. I wish some of
the boys and girls would write to me and
if they do I shall be pleased to answer
them back.

Well, you will be wanting to know
’what I look like. I have long brown
curly hair. brown eyes and freckles as
countless as the stars. Sometimes (when
my hair pulls) I say I will have it bob-r
bed and then when I get in good humor
I can’t part with it. I am ﬁve test tall
and‘my'birthdw la the third day aim

least and now we are living on a little
farm out at Nortlr Street. I have a cat
and a cow. My cat’s name is Snowball.
because she is as white as snow. My cow’s
name is Marie. . ’ ‘

I think it is a. splendid idea to have

a. club. I would like our pins to have on '-

them “Bound to Win" and our colors
Blue and Gold. 'I think the j‘Ch-ildren‘s

Hour is a. good name for our club when ,

it is for the children. I think a. good
motto is “Be Just to All”.

I will be glodwhen summer comes for ;
I have a friend who lives up to the benign .
y ,

and I go to visit her every gunmen
letter is getting rather long. so I Will
close with love to all the boys and girls
of the Children’s Hour. Your want-to-
be nieee.——Jooephine M. Cowles.’ North

Dear Uncle Nedz—We have taken the

M. B. F. only a. short time-but I am very
interested in it. and look forward until
the next» issue comes. I think the Chit.

dren's Hour is a. very interesting page. V

This is the first time I have written and
I would be glad to hear. from some of my
cousins. I will be glad to answer them
promptly. " I suppose I should describe
myself a little. I am fourteen years old
and in the eighth grade. I have dark

hair and eyes and a dork complexionw

—-Joe W. W'ilson, Mason Michigan.

 

Dear Uncle Ned:——As I have never
written to you since I became a. reader

of your page over three years ago. but .'

have became a reader again about three
months ago. I am sixteen years of age.
My name is Wm. M. Maine. I think the
following words would be good for our
motto. “'Work More Wish Less: I
think the name—Willing Workers, or

Helping Hand. .Wm. M. Maine, (age 1!).

Vernon, Michigan.

 

Dear Uncle Ned:-—~So many of the
cousins are entering the contest. on I
thought I wouldn’t be one of those not. to
enter. I think it is loads of fun to boin
contests. I have entered a. few contests
before but I never won. But the motto
is "if you don’t succeed the ﬁrst time,
try, try again," isn’t it Uncle?

You ask if we want motto and colors.
I am sure I do anyway. I agree with you
Uncle Ned to have our club called the
Children’s Hour. 1 am sure it ,would be a.
good name. Well for the motto which I
think is satisfactory is “Be merry and
gay and your work will grow lighter
every day." Colors——brown and white.
A picture of Uncle Ned is what I sug-
gest to be on the pin. I agree with Best
nald Hodges to
scramble. I think it would be so much
fun. I like to work on the cross-word
puzzles, they make you thing so hard.
Well I have no more to write. Hoping
I will not’bo disappointed, I arm—Anna.

Dear Uncle Ned:—-I would like to join
your Merry Circle but I just can’t seem

to get the answers to the puzzles in time. ,

I thought I would write any way but
suppose the waste basket is waiting for
this letter. Well, I never described my-
self. I am seventeen years old, have an-
burn hair and hazel eyes. I am ﬁve feet

it comes in handy sometimes. I weigh

TheOAgricultural Society met next
night. It was a wild session. No

at it.

But I got even, you bet. A few
days later a fellow camealong when
I was away from home and told.
Maria he was a government inspec-
tor and that he was checking up on
all poultry to see it they were dis-
ease free. So Maria and Mrs. Smith
let him look at the ﬂock and he said
it would be necessary to treat them.
He had the remedy and it was $6 a
box. He claimed’ he had to white-
wash poultry houses, too, and as he
started to work right. away the we-
men let him go ahead, and Maria
paid him the $3 when he ﬁnished.
But she didn’t buy any remedy. .He
was to come back the next day, as
Maria explained she didn’t have the
money. When I got home and she
told me'about it, I was all suspicion.
I called up the iCounty Agent and he
told me right away it was a take.
Next morning he called up again and
said he had a telegram from Wash-
ington to arrest the fellow. So I
got Hank Peters to issue the proper
papers and as the County Agent was
a deputy sheriff he came out and
when our man arrived, we pinched
him in a hurry. Claimed he was an
Omaha man, but before we let him
out of the county jail he paid back
all the folks their money and I al-
loWed him 500 for whitewashing the
hen house. For once Maria and me
worked together and took a lot of
glory in hearing people tell how we
saved the folks their money.

One thing about Maria, she just
can't let an agent pass without biting.
Course I get hooked a lot but I gen—
erally know it in time and besides,
most of my investments are the kind
that pay out, that is ’cept the one
where I bought the nitrates. I can
size up a situation and tell at once if
it’s wrong. Take the time the hog
remedy agent was trying to sell the
Smith boys 9. lot of stuff that was a
sure cure for cholera. I knew right
away it was a fake and when the
agent says, “Boys, try this on me and
it it don't work, no pay",_ I was
watching and when he hauls out an

 
 
   

 

order blank and wants them to sign. I
asks .0 read it and ﬁnds he was get-
ting them to sign a Check. Say, what

 

i told that fellow was a plenty. Why
way back in 1906 I bought me some
stuff and it never worked and it cost
me $39.50, besides three "of my best
shotes. Took it up with the com-
pany but they wouldn’t do a thing.
Claimed the best agent they had sold
me that and he never told a lie. I
wouldn't pay and blamed if they
didn’t go and get a judgment on me
and’l had to pay.

I have yet to see a hog remedy
agent that’s square or a company
that backs up and says the agent’s
wrong. They just want the cash;
I know.

M. A. C. To CELEBRATE
70TH BIRTHDAY '

LANS for a series of anniversary

conferences, commemorating the

70th anniversary of the found-
ing of the Michigan Agricultural Col-
lege, the oldest land grant school in
the country, have been approved by
the state board of agriculture.

The conferences are to be held
starting May 13. They will deal
with engineering education, includ-
ing the relation of the school to the
state’s industries, the education of
farm women with special reference
to the problems of farm women, and
rural community organizations. A
series of alumni conferences are also
planned for the same dates.

In addition to this year being the

LL men who have made good money at
farming have been very careful to keep
their soil fertile and rich. There are poor years.
and good years in farming but the man who
puts manure on‘his ﬁelds in the right way will
reap real proﬁts.

The McCormick-Deering Manure Spreader is
one of the most valuable machines on the farm.
It increases yields, pays for itself in a hurry and
goes on building bank accounts.

It spreads smoothly and evenly, putting on just
as light or as heavy a coat as you want. The
pitchfork method of spreading cannot equal the
yields that follow the McCormick-Deering. That
has been proved many times. Besides hand
spreading is hard work; the McCormick-Deering
saves many hours of time and much hard labor.
Its good strong beaters tear the manure rapidly
and spread it. well beyond the Wheels.

VVHEN'GRANDMA SETS THE
PANCAKES
By Anne Campbell

When supper was all over, ‘
And we’d swept the crumbs away.
We had a. game of Pedro,
Or the organ we would play.
\Ve knew when it was bedtime,
Though the word was ,never said!
V‘an Grandma set the pancakes,
It was time to go to bed!

\Ve laid, if we were sewing,

All our goods and thread aside.
it was no use to argue.

\Ve both knew it 'cause we‘d tried.
The day was nearly over, -

And the happy evening ﬂed.
\Vhen Grandma set the pancakes,

It was time to go to bed!

\Ve heard her as we whispered
While undreSSing in the gloom.
The sound of stirring batter
Drifted upward to our room.
\Ve visualized the picture
As we (lofted our flannels red.
When Grandma set the pancakes,
It was time to go to bed!

We saw her worn hands busy

In the humble room downstairs,
And scarcely paid attention

When our mother heard our prayers.
That breakfast in the morning

On the crimson cover spread!
\Vhen Grandma set the pancakes,

It was time to go to bed!

TRAINING CHILDREN FOR
.HOME LIFE '

F boys as well as girls are to be
I good homemakers they should
see home life at its best. Added
to their environment, the mother’s
training should give them an under—
standing of the conditions and prin-
ciples which govern the life of the
family. In school and home there
should be taught, both by precept
and practice, the best in the choice,
preparation, and use of foods and
textiles, the selection and care of
shelter, and details of the processes
involved in practical housewifery.
These four subjects make for the full
development of the physical life of
the family, and boys as well as girls
should have some {understanding of
most of the principles involved. The
ethics of personal, and family rela-
tionships, the details of public ques-
tions and their discussion, personal
ideals, and spiritual values, should
all be given sympathetic attention
at home. Application should be
made of the knowledge of these sub-
jects gained in School to the prob-
lems of home life, as far as possible.
Incidentally, the training of the chil-
dren may help broaden the intellec—
tual interests of the parents and the
whole home.

DRY CLEANING CURTAINS IS

BETTER THAN \VASHING

“ HERE are very few curtains that

. will not lock,- better dry..cleaned

' than vwashe'd,“ says Susan Z.

Wilder, home economics. extension

specialist at Southri'ak'o’ta. State ’00]-

. loge. . ,1! . youai‘e, ing'do'ubt as to the

outcome in washing curtains,=aiways

dry clean them. »  ’ ’

 
  

 

 
   

 

~last method

 

" “Washing curtains in.‘wate‘r‘.is,th'e_ ,E
'1’. hair} 6' " “ta?!

which can never be brought back,
and pull the curtains out of shape
so that they will not hang well. Any
housewife can dry clean her own cur—
tains but to getrtne best results it is
necessary to observe the following
simple rules:

Buy a high test gasoline.

Always use gasoline outdoors.

Work in the shade.

Do not rub the material too vigor-
ously in the hands.

Never use a board.

Never heat gasoline on the stove.
It may explode. Heat water hot, not
b0111ng‘, and carry it outside the
house. Remove the top from the
gasoline can and set the can into the
water to heat.

Do not press the curtains after
they are cleaned in gasoline until
thoroughly dry. '

Following is the procedure recom-
mended in dry cleaning curtains,
brush them well or hang them in the
wind so that all loose dirt is remov—
ed. Soak them in the gasoline a.
half hour. Stir them about and
squeeze the gasoline through them
but do not rub. Wring the curtains
dry and hang them in the sun.
Leave them outdoors from three to
twelve hours so that they will dry
thoroughly and lose most of the gas-
oline odor. If possible, leave the
curtains out over night then bring
them in, dampen and press with a
hot iron.

There are special soaps on the
market to use with gasoline for
cleaning purposes, according to Miss
Wilder. It is not necessary to buy
the soap unless the curtains are very
badly soiled. Even then it is not
necessary because the curtains may
be washed in one pan of gasoline and
rinsed in a second. The gas removes
all grease and the dirt will drop out.
Any spot that remains after clean—
‘mg with gasoline is probably some
substance that will not dissolve in
gasoline. A careful sponging in clear
soft water with a cloth of similar
color will clean up everything.

ﬂock of 100 hens per day? Are they in-.
jurious to the hen’s health?

Now for my helpful hints.

Use a. square or oblong square-cornered
cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Time is
saved in the cutting and the baking as
the corners ﬁt in {cgether and more can
be cut and baked at one time. I also
have a. large tin that nearly ﬁts 'the oven.

Here is a ‘new way to use up old shirt
bodies. When the sleeves wear out I
use the old shirt bodies to make new
sleeves. Stitch a straight piece in' the
underarm seam to prevent stretching and
breaking the threads. Hem back placket
hole on seam and sew on cuff. _,'e.V
wear a long time. This worka well With

I underwear too.

Sometimes families like gravies better
than meats and cannot make much from
a, small chicken or piece of meat and
have it taste rich enough. Try beating
an egg into your thickening for making
more chicken gravy. You will not need
quite so much thickening as the egg
thickens. This is also good to increase
bulk and ﬂavor in beef gravy, but not as

good as in ohidken gravy.

I hope these hintswill help someone
and think perhaps if the questions could
be answered in the paper they too would
be helpful to others—F. D., Portland,

The Ethics of the Introduction.-—When
introductions should be made and when
not; which are justiﬁed and which are
needless; to what degree they imply-ob-
ligation, and a number of other points
are not subject to hard ‘and fast rules.
Common sense, socialtact and presence
of mind must be relied upon to decide
what is best in many instances. In larger
urban centres introductions are usually

"taken lightly; in [smaller communities

more seriously. Convenience sanctions the
less ethical procedure in the ﬁrst instance
and custom rejects it in the second. In
the end the obligation—implied or actual
—of an introduction are either met or
denied in accordwith personal preference.
In.the caseof a lady the option rests
with her—a gentleman who has been in-
troduced must wait, when next he meets
her, for her to bow or offer her hand.
She may continue or end the acquaint-
ance as she sees ﬁt. In general:

1. BOW to all whom you may have
met at a meal.

2. Bow to all whom you have met at
a reception or with whom you have played
cards, golf or tennis.

3. The acknowledgement of incom-
plete introductions is optional. '

 

 

The Runner’s Bible

 

 

Then shalt thou call and the Lord shall
answer; thou shalt cry and He shall say:
Here I am. If thou take away from the
midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth
of the ﬁnger and speaking vanity—Isa.
58:9. -.

Nothing can yoke or burden one but
onc’s thoughts—thoughts of hate, of fear,
of lust, of greed, of evil intany form. It
is better, however, to liken evil thoughts
to veils which hide from one’s eyes the
Truth, the beauty of things which grow
in the sunshine of Love. These veils are
thick and of ugly color. They distort.
Many there are who‘grope about all 'their
lives because they wear such 'a'5n4umber;

’they run into danger, injure. themselves

and others and ﬁnally in seeming‘dar‘k-
ness they lose their way. The truth is
that they were all the time in the light,
but they knew it not, for they would wear
veils. God acts upon the assumption that
every‘One’Sees clearly, and who would sus-
pect His eyer present help when behind
sqmany thicknesses of evil?

THE WORLD'S GREATEST

BAKING POWDER

--the next time you bake
give it just one honest and fair
trial. One test in your own
kitchen will prove to you that
there is a big difference between
Calumet and any other brand,
that for uniform and whole-
some bakings it has no equal.

If there were a more dependable
Ieavener obtainable, millions of hOuse-
wives, leading domestic science teach-
ers, cooking experts, great railroads,
big hotels and good bakers would not

use Calumet in preference to the hundreds
of other makes that are on the market.

Avoid the disappointments~the un—
necessary expenses that come from using
unknown brands of baking powder. Use
Calumet and your pics, cakes, biscuits,
mufﬁns, everything you bake will be perv
fectly raised, easily digested and appetizing.

At your service

The courteous girl at the switchboard speaks the ﬁrst word

in more than two million conversations an hour.

Presid-

ing day and night at the busy intersections of speech, she is
always at the call of the nation’s homes, farms and ofﬁces.

Out of sight, and most of the time out of hearing of the
Subscribers, little is known of the switchboard girl—of
her training and supervision under careful teachers, and
of her swift and skilful work. Likewise, little is known
of the engineering problems necessary to bring the terminals
of sixteen million telephones within the reach of a girl’s
arm, or of the ceaseless work of maintenance which in both
fair weather and storm keeps the mechanism ﬁt and the

wires open.

America’s millions of people must have at their com~
mand means of direct and instant communication, and the
Bell System must ever be in tune with the demands of

national service.

These are the components of America's system of teleph-

ony :

The best of engineering, of manufacture, of facil-

ities—and a personnel trained and eager to serve.

M. A. C. “AIR” SCHOOL CONTIN-
UES THROUGH MARCH

ITHOUT stirring from their ﬁre-

sides farmers in Michigan and

‘the middle west are being given
the beneﬁts of instruction in farm
problems by the experts on the fac-
ulty of the Michigan Agricultural
College through courses being broad—
cast from the college radio station
WKAR.

The “air” school was started Mar.
2, when for two weeks lectures on
farm machinery and home conveni-
ences were broadcast. The courses
are to be continued until May 8, dit-
terent subjects being oﬁered each
two weeks.

Farmers who listen in on the lee-
tures are asked to enroll with the
director of short courses at the col-
lege" at East Lansing. Those who
enroll are sent briefs of the lectures
given the day after they are broad-
cast. In this way those who are.un-
able to tune in the college station
because 0! air conditions or other
reasons are able to keep up with
the classes. Those who enroll are
sent examinatibns at the end of the
course. After answering the ques-
tions asked they are mailed certiﬁ-r
cates to show that they have taken
and passed examination on the
course.

The courses yet to be offered and
the dates on which they will be given
follow: Farm crops and soils,
March 16 to 27; Poultry and live-
stock, March 30 to April 10; Home
gardens, April 13 to 24; home mak—
ers course, April 27 to May 8. The
lectures are broadcast from Monday
to Friday night inclusive each week
from I7:15 to 8 o’clock in the even—
ing, eastern standard time.“

The giving of the farm courses has
necessitated changes in the broad-
casting hours of the other programs
at the college. Now the regular"
educational program will be given
Monday evenings from 8 to‘ 9-o’elock;

Wonder tint-ii is diﬁeuit to s to

"- coinpetewith the Flying Dutchmen

iii-:zthe‘bulb business. , .
. In these post—helium days, pass-
. ”ports are one.,of the nuisances of
travel-in Europe, especially when
they have to be 'visaed at every little
national boundary—at $10.00 per
‘ivisa. '
Three days before we were to leave
~ for Denmark, via Germany, I hap—
pened to think that I had not secured
a German nor a Danish visa for my
passport, and I knew that without it
I would be put off the train at the
boundary and sent back after one.
Every other member of our party
“ ' had attended to this detail except me.
When I made this discovery we had
just left Amsterdam for a two-day
trip to the other side of the Zuider
Zee and we were on a train headed
north. We would be back in Amster-
dam the following attention—but
there is no German consulate in Am-
sterdam; I would have to go to
Rotterdam which was in exactly the
opposite direction from the way our
train was going.

Mr. Bertholt, our guide, advised
me to get oﬂ the train at Zwolle, the
next big town, catch the first train
back to Rotterdam, get my visas, and
then go to Amsterdam and wait for
my friends to come on the following
day. He taught me one word of the
Dutch language, which sounded like
“Doorhandt” and which means “di-
rect” or “without change”, and then

explained the kind of a railroad tick-

et that I held. '

We had bought “Vacantiekaart”
tickets, he explained to me, which
had cost us seven and a. half guilders
each, or about $2.75, which entitled
the holder to ride anywhere in Hol-
land just as long as he holds the
ticket and cares to ride. The tickets
are not taken up until one leaves the
depot and until it is taken up it is
good on any train, in any direction,
‘ anywhere in Holland. 1 could get of!
the train at Zwolle and if I did not
leave the depot in the meantime I
could ride right back to Amsterdam

* - from where I had just come or could
go to Rotterdam or any other place.
Holland is so small that one can’t
ride very far anyway.

Very well, I had my Vacantiekaart
and I knew my Dutch perfectly—my
one word of it—and armed with this
equipment I bade [my friends good-
bye at Zwolle to spend two days run-
ning all over Holland and hunting
up Danish and German consuls, With—

_out even the friendly doctor to lend
me moral support.

I stood around the station plat—
" » form and inquired “Rotterdam door—

handt?” as nonchalantly, but as in—
telligently as I could of every uni-
formed man, whenever a train pulled
into the depot—and there were
many. They invariably said some-
thing to inc—which I appreciated
even though I didn’t know what it
was. - -
Finally I boarded a. train and rode
grandly out of town until the con-
ductor came along and refused .to
honor my ticket. I couldn’t explain
it to him. A friendly 'Dutch sea

‘ captain who knew a few words of
English interceded in my behalf and
induced the conductor to compromise
and let me ride as far as Utrecht.
He put me off at Utrecht and the
station master there put me on an—
other tram- This was a real “door—
handter” and took me clear to Rot-
terdam.

With the aid of a few policemen
and a specially chartered messenger
boy I located the Danish consul and
paid him ten dollars to vise my pass-
port. Then I located the German
consulate and none of them could
speak English. Finally the tallest
one took my money and made a few
notations on my passport, and the
transaction seemed to satisfy us
both.

Two hours after I hit Rotterdam I

was back at the station saying, “Am- '

sterdam doo—r/handt?” to every one in’
uniform again. I got as far as The
Hague on my ﬁrst attempt, and even—
tually, the same evening, I reached
Amsterdam. During the day I had
covered all of that part oi Holland
and was right back where I started
from. And I’d done it on on one
worse. Dutch. ' ‘

“Safety Last”. Thus was another
word added to my vocabulary. “Va—
cantiekaart” meant a “vacation tick-

et” .and “Verboten” meant f‘forbid—

go’.’ and during the few days in Hol-
land we found that each of us kn'ew
quite a few words.-

* " But when we crossed theline into
Germany and later into Denmark and ‘

saw entirely different shaped words
on the sign boards, "none of which
looked as familiar as even the pic-
turesque Dutch words, the Colonel
sighed and said, “Well, boys, just as
soon as I learned ‘ausgang’ and ‘oin-
gang’~ and a few important words like
that we leave Holland. I’m sorry I
learned the language!”

German border and our triumphal
entry into Copenhagen, Denmark,

DOES THE TAIL \VAG THE DOG
AT M. A. C?

EAR EDITOR: Seeing as most
D everbody is writting you'about
changing the name of MAC to
somthing else I may as well horn in
to, specially as the prose and cons
wouldn’t be compleat unless I did. I
am again the purposed change for a
lot of good reasons. .
If it was to be called Mich: State
Colleg you couldnt call the foot bawl
teams Mich Aggies any more and
then maybe the other foot l)an
teams woudn’t be scared of them and
they might axidently get licked some
time. Besides that the fellows who
make the headlines for the sport
pages in the newspapers would have
a hard time to think of any thing
short and snappy like Mich Aggics
and so they wouldnt put the team in
the headlines and then nobody
wouldnt go to MAC never no more.
The way it is now when some ig-
norunt stranger says What is Mich
Ag. and what does MAC stand for any
how we can ex plain that Mich Ag
is short for Michigan Aggregation of
Cloverkickers and MAC is its ﬁrst
letters. And if he is a smart strain-
ger he will catch on that the Clover-
kickers is pretty good goal kickers
too.

While if it was changed to MSC it
would be Michigan Shame Colleg be-
cause the- folks there is ashamed of
the name the way it is now. But I
reckon it would be a better colleg if
the folks Wich is ashamed of it would
go some place else and leave more
room for real clover kickers and
hog callers and tit pullers, wich folks
are just as respectable, usually more
decent and certainly more necary
than them wich is ashamed of MAC.

I see in your paper some body call-
ed it a cow college, Wich I would say
is an undeserved complement wich
might apply to the Wis Colleg of Ag.
but MAC seems to be more of a bean
and grape colleg. Wich reminds me
of one Winter I lived in Urbanana Ill.
and they had a lot of College cows
at the Ill Colleg of Ag. and the Uni-
versity milk was so good that no
body could get it unless their name
was on the waiting list for a couple
of years and could give satis factry
reterences. We didnt never suck-
ceed in getting any of the milk but I
would go to" the dairy dept on the
camp us and get their butter wich
was called Corn Belt and it was just
about the best butter you .ever at.

This here business of wanting to
change the name because the other
depts has outgrowed the Ag makes it
look like the tail had out growed the
dog and now they want to call it a
tail insteamoi a dog. But it that is
it I would say call it allamb and dock
it. And probly it would be a. bigger
and better lamb for being docked.
And anyway when the leglesslature
makes a propriation for the lamb it
wouldnt mostly go to grow more tail,
wich seems to be the case now.

Over at Aims Iowa the colleg is
called the Iowa State Colleg of Agar-

' culture and Michanic Arts by the

0111ch title but it is called Aims by
everbody else, and it we quit calling

I dont want yous‘to “get-9 the;\ notion ‘ I

 

have any thing‘again michanics and
enginearin‘g' at an ‘ag celleg because
one of the biggest things a business
farmer needs is michanical gumption
so he can farm more with machinery

and'turn out sheaves and shotes like

Henry 'Ford spills out ﬂivers and
there should be agercultural engin?
ears toﬂﬁgur out how tile should be
layed so as to drain off the water
quickest and with least tile and to
calculate how the barn and silos and
grainery should be set and built and
eqi-pped so a felloe can do his chores
without wearing out so much sh-oe
leather and wasting a lot of time he
might be in the ﬁeld or listening to
the radeo.

I just bet you that if all the mi-
chanics -and enginearing and chemys-
tery at MAC was made to toe the
they would have plenty to do and it
would be a hole lot better for, the
farmers in Mich. Anyway if MAC
dont ﬁgur these things out for the
farmers there aint‘nobody else going
to bother with it and then how are
we going to keep up with the times
and how can we make any money in
our business unless we learn to do
it with modern inventions like they
do in other business.

And even if they change it to MSC
it had ought to mean Mich Sodbus-
ters ‘Colleg and the S stand for Sows,
Silage, Soils and Sharp Shares. And
yet I dont mean, Mr. Editor, that it
should be only a kind of farmers
trade school. It had ought to be also
a colleg in the" best and truest mean-
ing of the word, a place where farm
boys and girls can go and at the
same time they learn how to be ex-
pert farmers and farmwives they
would also be educated, Wich aint
the same thing at all. Education as
I see it is getting to be a bigger,
broader person, a better citizen, an
original thinker, and a more likeable
neighbor. We need all in one in-
stitution a place to teach farming
and to also educate farm folks, with
as I say is two different things.

Any way this is my idea of ager-
cultural education, wich may be all
wrong because I aint never had much
of it. Hoping this ﬁnds you the same
I am, Yours truely, HARRY VETCH.

SWEET CORN FOR LIVE STQCK

What is your opinion of planting
sweet corn to hog down in the early
fall? Do you think it is better than
ﬁeld corn? Also Canadian peas for
the same purpose. Do you think it
would be advisable to plant soy beans
in sweet corn for hogging down? My
object is to get my hogs off in August
if possible—H. M. M., Shepherd,
Michigan.

WEET corn lacks the factors for
converting sugar into starch,
but fairly good results have

been obtained by feeding sweet corn,
especially to cattle which would con~
sume the whole stalk.

I think you ought to get better re-
sults feeding hogs, to plant a medi-
um early variety of ﬂint corn since
the ﬂint would produce more pounds
of grain per acre than sweet corn.

Canadian peas Would make a good
supplementary pasture. You under-
stand the peas would have to be
sewn as early as you could get on
the ground in the spring, hence in a
separate ﬁeld or part of the ﬁeld

containing the corn. Canadian peas
if sown late will not do any good,
nor mature early enough to be of
much value.

Soy beans planted in with the corn
willalso make a good supplementary
feed.

-To insure the success of your pro-
ject to put hogs on the market before
the end of August at least two things
will be necessary, an early maturing
variety of ﬁeld corn and also an early
maturing variety of soy beans. Sow
both as early in May as you can. A
medium early maturing variety of
sweet corn would probably be about
right. Sweet corn is more sensitive
to frost. than ﬁeld corn, ‘hence, can
not be sown quite as early in the
spring as either dent or ﬂint corn.—

HE pulling of wool by breeding
ewes may be due to the fact
that they have been conﬁned

too closely and heavily fed, resulting
in irritating conditions of the skin,
or it may be due to ticks or lice. In
either case it would be advisable to
shear them before lambing. If it was
due to ticks or lice and theﬂsheep
were sheared real close by the shear-
ing machine the ticks would leave
before the lambs came, whereas if
they were sheared after lambing the
ticks would all go on to the lambs
and greatly retard their growth. It
would be best to shear these sheep
sometime between the ﬁrst and tenth
of 'March and as soon as the weather
is warm enough in the spring to
thoroughly dip both the ewes and the
lambs—Geo. A. Brown, Professor of
Animal Husbandry, Michigan Agri-
cutural College.

GARGE'I‘

We have a. cow whose age is nine
years this spring, that has never been
sick till about a week ago, when one
teat started to give garget but not
bloody milk. . The udder started to
swell and cake and was very feverish
and sore near the teat that gave gar—
get milk. In a few days the teat
went dry, also fever and cake left
that part of udder and the teat cor-
nerwise to it is just like it was and
now is nearly dry. This cow was al-
ways a heavy milker and was giving
a nice mess when she started to have
udder trouble, but is nearly dry now.
Never was known to go dry over a
month. She will not freshen till
May. \She doesn’t seem to be sick
and eats good. Have been feeding
her oats, hay and cornstalks. Any
information you can give me regard-
ing what to do for this udder trouble
and what was the cause of it will be
gratefully appreciated—H. M., Mid-
land, Mich.

HE cause of garget is usually in-
fection which gains entrance
through the teat openang or

through the blood, more often, I
think, the former. If the function
of the gland tissue in the affected
quarter has not been destroyed, the
cow may come to her milk again at
the next calving time.

Such cases are mm’e successfully
treated when taken early by bath—
ing the bag well with hot water and
stripping out the affected quarters
once every two hours if not too sore
and badly swollen and then apply
camphorated oil two or three times
daily, and rub well in. A good ca-
thartic is often indicated in the early
stages of the disease. The internal
administration of an internal anti-
septic often proves valuable. Milk—
ing of the affected quarters should
always be done into a pail of anti-
septic solution and the hands wash—
ed very thoroughly in the antiseptic
solution before milking another cow.
The cow should be kept in a. warm
place free from drafts and given a
laxative diet.——John P. Hutton, As-
sociate Professor of Surgery and
Medicine, Michigan Agrcultural Col-
lege.

 

 

 

 

WAR-TS

I have two cows that have little
spots on their teats, one is like a.
wart and the other one is nearly as,
big as a little marble. At times they
will bleed _ if you press on them.
which will happen once in a. while by
milking. It is not growing and does

not go away.——L. K.. Alma, Mich.
THINK the spots are warts. ‘They
I should be cut out when the cow
is dry. The skin should be thor-
oughly disinfected around the swell-
ing, and, then the wart removed with
a sharp knife or scissors after the
cow has been properly restrained.
The wounds should then be properly
covered with sterile surgical cotton
,or gauze and retained in place by ad-
hccive tape. The operation had best
be performed y a qualiﬁed veterin-

Amazing Resmmm In One Day
By Use of Virex Formerly Known
.As Rattle Snake Oil

 

Deafness and Head Noises need not be
dreaded any longer since the discovery of
a widely known physician. Now it' is pos-
slble for some of the most obstinate cases
of deafness to be relieved in a day's time
by the application of a. prescription for—
merly known as Rattle Snake 011. This
treatment is meeting with wide success
all over the country.

Mr. D. M. Lopes, a. Pennsylvania. man,
says: “I used the treatment at night be-
fore retiring. The following morning I
could hear the ticklngs of the alarm clock
that I was unable to hear before. Now
my hearing is restored perfectly after
many years of deafness "

Mr. Ben Jackson, who lives in Indiana
says, “Before I used Virex I could hear
nothing. Aftcr‘ten days I could hear my
watch tick. ”

Angeline Johnson. a Missisisippl resident
had been stone deaf for eighteen years
She says, "Virex has stopped. my head
noises and I can hear the train whistle
31/5 miles away."

Roy Fisher, Iowa. man, says. “I hadn’t
heard a. watch tick for eleven years—now
I can lay my watch on the table and
hear it plainly "

Mr. W. A. Lumpkin, of Oklahoma, says,
"After being deaf 38 years, I used your
treatment only a. few days and hear
fairly well.”

Mr. Anthony Chapman, of. Michigan,
says, “The terrible head noises have stop-
ped entirely and my hearing is practically
back to nOrmal.”

Deaf Baby Now Hears

Mrs. Ola Valentine, of Arkansas, says,
"My little boy, now 5 years old, had been
deaf since about 4 months of age. Now
he hears very well and is learning to
talk."

Mr. Mather Pelleys says, “My young
son, deaf for years, has used Viz-ex for
only three days and he hears almost as

well as ever before."

Such amazing reports come from all
over this octmtry and Canada The pre-
scription which is known as Virex. is
easily used at home and seems to work
like magic in its rapidity on people of
all ages. . ’

So conﬁdent are we that Vlrex W111 re-
store your hearing quickly, and to intro-
duce this remarkable treatment to 3 mil-
lion more sufferers. we will send a. large
$2. 00 treatment for only $1. 00 on ten days’

our. last article we discussed

natural incubation. With the ad-

vance of the science of poultry
keeping, the demands have grown
until the old hen has been superced-
ed by her artiﬁcial competitor the
incubator. The hen of today, how—
ever, was not the ﬁrst to feel the
competition 'of man made machines.
In ancient Egypt and in China, eggs
were incubated in incubators in pre-
historic times. This method was
crude. Large ovens or huts were
made of clay and heated by ﬁres.
The eggs were placed on straw on
the ﬂoors, and the temperature con—
trolled by the operator with no mod-
ern devices to assist him.

Hodern incubation depends on
more accurate apparatus. Much cred-
«it for our modern incubation must
be given to Charles Cyphers, who
did a great deal of experimental
work. and whose name is commonly
connected with our modern incuba—
tors.

Commercial Hatcheries

Owing to the fact that baby chicks
stand shipment well, we have in op-
eration many commercial hatcheries.
These poultrymen make a specialty
of producing baby chicks in quant1~
'ty. They have come to be a very im-
portant part of our poultry organi—‘
nation. It is estimated that they
hatch over ten. millions of youngsters
each year in Michigan. Some of the
concerns own all their breeding
stock, while others buy ‘eggs in the
community." The quality of commer-
cial hatched chicks depends on two
factors, lst, the quality of the parent
stock, and 2nd, the proper operation
of the hatching plant. "

The prospective buyer of chicks
must determine the quality of the
pa‘rent stock and if possible should
visit the hatchery and see the source
of the stock. Too often the buying
public are lured into the purchasing
of chicks by far fetched ads with big
headlines, written for the express
purpose of catching the uninitiated.
Fabulous. claims of three hundred
egg strains and sex guarantee should
be closely investigated. An occasion-
al three hundred egg hen may appear
in the remote ancestry of some few
individuals who are producing eggs
for commercial hatcheries, but a
strain of birds that consistently pro—
duces a predominance of such per-
formers has yet to be produced.

Many of our hatcherymen are do-
ing very constructive breeding, using
good common sense in the selection
of breeding stock, carefully culling
the ﬂocks and selecting the males.
These are the breeders-who can be
relied upon year in and year out to
supply you with quality chicks.

Blood Testing

Every year thousands of baby
chicks die from Bacillary White Di-
arrhea, a disease carried over in the
egg from the «parent stock. This
disease is being combatted by blood
testing the parents. Where possible
buy stock from blood tested hens.
While one test may not eliminate the
disease it at least indicates that the
hatchery is attemping to put clean
stock on the market. The agglutin-
ation test is one requiring consider-
able bacteriological technique, and
should be done by one who has been
trained along this line.

Private Hatching

Many farmers, poultrymen and
fanciers prefer to do their own
hatching. This means they require
a suitable basement or incubator
root- and suitable machines.

We have on the market several
reliable well built incubators and
many others built cheaply to sell. In
(3an a machine do not let your
better JIUdgment be overcome by an
attractive price. Buy only machines
that are standard and known to be of
good quality.

Incubation Houses or Cellars

To successfully operate the aver-
age incubator, it isnecessary that a
suitable room or cellar-be used. The ‘
basement of the house is usually
quite all right for the ordinary small
plant incubation. The requirements
for an incubation cellar are few and

simple, namely: 1, an even temper-_-.

store; 25 Good ventilation: 3, Plenty
of moisture.

provide the best conditions. 
Ventilation can be most easily sup-
plied by dropping the windows in
from-the top and allowing circula-
tion of air.

The cellar should be supplied with
an egg room which can be darkened
and used for candling and handling
the eggs. ‘

Incubator Operation
We have among the I. small ma-

chines, two common, types, namelyz.

hot air and hot water. The hot air
machines are more simple and have
less apparatus to'get out of order.
The hot water machines heat‘the egg
chamber by radiation from a coil in
which water is heated and circulated
by the heat of the lamp. This prin-
ciple is preferredlby some since it
gives a. slightly more uniform tem:
perature and is not as readily affect-
ed by outside changes as the hot air
type. .

Among our mammoth machine‘s
we have two common types in use.
The cabinet type in which the eggs
are placed in galleys or trays and
the air circulated by electric fans.
These machines occupy a small ﬂoor
space and are preferred by many
commercial hatcherymen where a.
steady electric current is available
to operate the fans.

The sectional type machine is built
on the same principle as the small
machine, the heat being supplied by
radiation from hot water pipes pass-
ing through the sections to a heat-
ing plant, usually a hard coal heater.

Care of Incubator

Before starting to hatch, thorough-
ly~overhaul the machine and make
sure the lamp, heating device, and
control are all in good working con-
dition. ,

Level the machine up carefully
and operate for a few days before
setting.

Read carefully the manufacturer’s
instructions until your are familiar
with the operation.

Trim and ﬁll the lamp regularly
every day. Do it after handling the
eggs. Oily ﬁngers may kill the de-
veloping chicks.

Keep the Wick turned to give an
even ﬂame.

Keep the burner clean to avoid
smoking and danger from ﬁre.

Note carefully the amount of ﬂame
required to maintain an even tem-
perature.

Set the thermostat to check the
heat and be sure it is working before
the eggs are put in.

Temperatures

The average temperature of eggs
under a hen is 103 degrees, but it
may vary from 101 to 104 degrees.
in cabinet machines, when the air is
forced to all parts of the egg the tem—

perature is kept somewhat lower. ' In v

sectional machines where the eggs
are on single trays, a difference of
two to three degrees may exist be-
tween the bottom and the top of the
egg.
Position of Thermometer

The common practice is to set the
thermometer on the eggs with the
bulb in contact with the eggs. Some
prefer to hang the bulb over the
eggs v about an inch above them.
This system has the advantage of
not having to remove the thermom-
eter when the eggs are taken out, but
it must be remembered that a tem-
pei‘ature of about 1 degree higher
should be recorded with the bulb in
this position. ' ' 3

During the ﬁrst week a tempera-
ture of 101 degrees and 103 degrees
should be maintained, allOwing it
to go to 103 degrees, but not over
104 degrees for the latter part of the
period. A temperature over 104 de;
grees is dangerous and thecheck—
iiig device should be Set to open. to
prevent the heat reaching this de—
gree. .
Turning and Cooling

The process of turning eggs during
incubation is necessary. If the eggs
are allowed to remain in one position
the yolk floats to the top of the egg.
The developing embryo then sticks to
the shell and. would develop abnor-
mally and in this abnormal position,
would not hatch. The embryo must
be supplied with oxygen which is
sup-plied through the albumen. More

air must be absorbed from the air,

cell and distributed‘throu‘gh the 3.1;

about in. the, tray. moving these in
the center to the outside.‘ This‘aids
in maintaining ,an' even temperature.
particularly if there is an uneveness
in temperature. a

Cooling naturally takes place dur-
ing turning unless the eggs are turn-
ed by a mechanical device. They

, should be turned and c'ooled twice a

day frOm the third day until the
eighteenth day when the chicks will
begin to chip the eggs. The cooling
operation gives the eggs a chance to
absorb more oxygen from the fresh
air. The time of cooling will vary
with room temperatures and other
such factors. It is safe to say that
during the ﬁrst week the eggs should
not be cooled longer than ﬁve min-
utes in a room at 60 degrees, but to-
ward the latter part of the hatch
15 or 20 minutes should be all right.
Ventilation and Moisture

_ The careful observation or the
evaporation of the egg will be the
best guide to ventilation and humid-
ity. An excess of moisture and lack
of ventilation will reduce evapora-
tion, consequently the air cell will re-
main smaller than it normally
should. When the egg is put in the
machine the air cell is small, not
over IA; of an inch deep. Under nor-
mal conditions the air cell will be
about 14 inch deep to 374 inch deep
on the eighth and % inch by the
ﬁfteenth day. By the nineteenth
day it will have grown to about 3%
inch. The eggs should be candied
frequently and the size of air cell ex-
amined. This inspection should
cover a number of eggs since a slight
variation will exist in individual eggs
due to shell texture.

If insufﬁcient moisture is being
supplied it may be added by wetting
down the ﬂoor and walls of the cel~
lar. It may be even necessary to
moisten the eggs. This is frequent-
ly done in case of duck eggs which
require greater humidity than hen
eggs.

Candllng

The eggs should be candied at
least once and better twice during
the hatch. The usual practice is to
candle on the seventh and fourteenth
days. The infertiles can all be taken
out on the seventh day, leaving more
room on the trais. 0n the four-
teenth day any germs which have
died can be taken out. This also
gives one an opportunity to study the
size of air cell. Infertile eggs re-
moved at the end of the ﬁrst Week
are quite all right for food or for
chick feeding purposes.

'During the hatching period leave
the eggs quite undisturbed and main-
tain an even temperature. When the
hatclris complete remove the shells
and eggs and allow the chicks to dry
off. The incubator door may be
opened to allow extra ventilation and
lower the temperature.

isscntials of Successful Hatches

1. Good eggs from good stock.

2. Fresh eggs hatch better than
those that have been held.

3. The best machines are cheaper
eventually.

4. Test the thermometer.

5. Be regular.

Our next article will deal with
pedigree hatching.

Farmer’s Buying Power Is Increasing
The Farmer Who Held His Hogs Makes Nice Profit
By W. W. FOOTE. Market Editor. '

ARMERS are getting nearer a
F square deal in what they buy
and sell than heretofore, and
they are spending more money.for
form equipment and other things
than in recent years. Chicago mail
order houses are making greatlynn—
creased sales, and one such big nrm
reports sales for the ﬁrst two months
this year aggregating $43,114,682,
showing an increase of nearly 16 per
cent over sales made in the same
time last year. Wonderful things
have taken place recently in the hog
market, and a boom of extraordinary
proportions has occurred, far ex-
ceeding anything anticipated by most
owners. Cattle, too have been sell-
ing extremely well at lately advanced
prices, while prime lambs sold a short
time ago for $18.25 per 100 pounds.
making handsome returns to OWners.
The grain markets too are in strong
position. with wheat reacting after
temporary breaks in prices, and sell~
ing for May delivery within a short:
time above $2 a bushel. That. ap—
pears to many people a fair price,
and thus far it has broken sharply
every time it has touched that ﬁgure.
Of course. it is impOssible to tell
how high it will go, and there is al-
ways the possibility of holding on too
According to most accounts,
there is the promise of a normal
acreage of the several grains, with
some pointers of an increased wheat
and corn acreage. ln parts of lowa
loan companies are lending $100 an
acre on good farm land and $125 an
acre on the best farms. As a general
rule, these companies do not. loan
more. than 40 per cent. on land valu-
ations; so it is inferred that the best.
farms are appraised at from $250 to
$300 an acre. The number of farm
foreclosures is fast decreasing, and
fewer farmers are borrowing money
to buy additional acres. In short,
farmers are becoming more conserva—
tive. and the “little farm well tilled”
is more popular than it was a~fcw
years ago. Silos. tractors and im—
proved farm machinery are the win—
ners these days. and every acre is
Worked by advanced farmers so as to
produce as much as possible.
Largo Trading in Grain
Much of the time there is lively
trading in grain on the (‘hicago
Board of Trade. mainly in wheat, as
has been the rule for many weeks,
and wheat prices are far higher than
a year ago, Whether the market is
advancing or declining. After wheat
approaches the $2 a bushel ﬁgure it
collapses on liquidation and short
selling, and late sales of May wheat
Were made around $1.80, that price
comparing with $1.11 a year ago.
Trade has gone over to the July fu-
ture largely, with late sales at $1.62.
Unquostionably the remarkable boom
in the different grains has checked
purchases. and a few days agoa
break in rye to $1.57 for May de—
livery brought in the ﬁrst export de—
mand of consequence in several, days,
sales at the seaboard being estimated
at 300,000 bushels. including a cargo
to Norway for May shipment. A year
ago May rye was selling at 71%;
cents. Oats for May delivery sell
around 54% cents, comparing With
47 cents a year ago; while May corn
cells at $1.31, comparing with 81
cents a year ago. Flour follows the
same course as wheat, and it dropped
30 cents the other day with the de-
cline in wheat. ‘ Crop expert Michaels
says: “The wheat trade has reached
a, stage where theories of scarcity are
not working out fast enough to suit
the average operator. Larger export
clearances, smaller receipts, and
heavy foreign buying are said to be
necesary to revive general interest on
there is a mixed situation in, corn and
the bullside. In the coarse grains
a very bearish feeling in oats. The

large supplies are a big factor in ln—‘v

ﬂuencing trade sentiment."
Wonderful Advance, in Hogs ..
Many times the Writer has advtsed

farmers to hold on to their boss and

mature them well. this  1'

 
 

based on the well authenticated fact
that the great bulk of the swine in
the corn belt states had been mostly
marketed much earlier than usual
with a view of saving the feeding of
high—priced corn. Many farmers were
afraid that hogs would not advance
much in prices, and so many were of
this belief that by shitting the mar-
ket with light weight hogs they
brought about the recent abnormal
conditions, prices on some days ad-
vancing as much as 50 cents per 100
pounds. It now looks like a hog
scarcity which will put prices for
fresh and cured hogs products to
such‘higlr levels as to curtail their
consumption. Already they have
had big advances, and more may be
expected to follow. The exports of
provisions have been for weeks run—
ning much smaller than a year ago.
Hogs marketed in Chicago recently
have averaged 225 pounds. being
four pounds lighter than a year ago
and seven pounds lighter than the
five year average for corresponding
weeks. The spread in prices has nar-
rowed materially. and the bulk of
the hogs sell Within a range of 45
cents, ‘with heavy butchers bringing
only 20 cents above the best light
bacon weights. It is startling to look
back and recall that a year ago hogs
were selling" at $6.25 to $7.55. Com—
bined receipts in twenty markets for
the year to late date amount to 8,—
777,000 hogs, comparing with 9,641,—
000 a year ago and 6,874,000 for the
corresponding time'in 1922. A short
time ago hogs sold at $12.90 to
$14.25, comparing with $10.90 to
$12.40 a week earlier. Only 132,466
hogs were received in Chicago last
week, comparing with 197.297 a
week earlier and 193,694 a year ago.
Eastern shippers took half of the
week’s receipts.
Fat (‘attlc Good Sellers

With smaller receipts of cattle in
Chicago recently, prices—\have had a
rise, so far as the medium to good
grades were concerned, the best lots
selling at no more than steady prices.

cents during the first week of March,
with the bulk of the steers going at
$8.75 to $11.25, common steers at
$7.65 to $8 and the best yearlings at
$11.25 to $12.25, while the best

‘ Poor Alfalfa Seed

Several states have met. with such-

serious losses from the use of poor
alfalfa seed that steps have been tak-
en to remedy thematter, and it has

been demonstrated beyond a doubt.

that the farmerwho considers price
alone in buying seed and gets the

cheapest seed offered gets a Small

chance of obtaining. good seed. Al—
falfa 'Seed can be had this year high
in quality at reasonable prices, but

it must be bought from ~dependable‘
sources, and farmers are cautioned to.

beware of price bargains and £111ch
advertising. To protect the grower
and to place the alfalfa crop on a
safe basis, farmers have formed a
cooperative organization, the Federr
ated Seed Service, and arrangements
have been made for the distribution

of alfalfa seeds of known origin, in-‘

cluding hardy varieties, that are cer-
tiﬁed as to source and quality. Ac-
cording to J. F. Cox, executive secre—
tary of the Federated Seed Service,
alfalfa growers have had nearly
1,000,000 acres of this crop die from
winter kill, causing a loss of more
than $10,000,000, all because they

 unwisely bought 15,000,000 pounds

of unadapted Argentine seed. Mr.
Cox says the failures of alfalfa where
severe winters occur are largely due
to the use of seed produced in mild
regions. He advises farmers to get
adapted seed of known origin as well
as high purity. Failures have been
so common that in the alfalfa grow-
ing regions there is onesfourth less
alfalfa grown in this country than
there was ten years ago, according to
Mr. Cox’s information. Failures
from unadapted seed became so com—
mon in Michigan that a law was pass—
ed establishing the right to’ have the
source of the seed known. As a re—
sult the acreage has been greatly in—
creased in that state. This informa-

tion has been obtained from an in-r

terview published in the Chicago Tri—
bune.

“'HEAT

In spite of the recent slumps the
wheat market is full of believers that
prices will again advance as high as
they have been at~any time during
the last few months, and there are
many who see prices at. new high
levels. During the fortnight ending
Saturday, March 7, prices advanced
to $2 a bushel but before the close
were down 18 cents. -

‘ Week of March 22

' If the cold weather of the past
storm period passes off normally and
does not hover over the Lake region,

temperatures will moderate rapidly

in Michian during the early part of
this week. Closely . following this
warm-wave will come generous ruins
changing later to sleet and finally to
snow as the center passes this state
and the temperatures fall. With this
storm will also come severe gales
and local wind storms that 'will have
its trail long after it passes. Follow-
fng the'middle part of this week the
skies will clear and temperatures
generally will drop to lower read-
ings. The barometer will remain
moderately high for the next few
days and little or no precipitation
may be..expected during last days of
this week and during early part of
next week.
' Spring Weathei'

The average weather conditions
for the months oi! April, May and
June will be very active in stormi-
ness, including rain, sleet, snow and
high winds. For the farm country
as a. whole there will be some occa-
sion for dissatisfaction and it is quite
probable that Congress will take an
unfavorable view towards a farmers’

sections this will amount to depres-

Save One-Half the Cost

WANT you to see for yourself how you can MAKE YOUR OWN

worm destroyer and conditioner—how you can make a BETTER
preparation than you can buy ready-mixed, and how you can SAVE
HALF the usual cost. All I.am going to ask you to do is to put 25c
(stamps or coin) in an envelope, ﬁll out the coupon below—mail it to
me and I will send you enough WORMIX——my new, concentrated rem-
edy, to make 5 lbs. of the best worm destroyer, tonic and conditioner
ever offered to live stock owners. This will last 10 hogs or 10 sheep,

Cleans \Vot'ms from Hogs
"After feeding erery remedy I ever heard of. I gave

my hogs “'ormix to clean out the worms. Have fed
it 3 years. As long us l mu» get \Vormix, I will use
nothing else. \Vormix destroys norms, helps to foster

gains and costs only half.”

Keep Sheep Thrifty

be without it. It is just tine for sheep.”
E. J. STEVENS, Hillsdnle, Mich.

\Vorms Gone—Condition Back

“1 have been feeding \Vormix to eight head of

or 2 horses or cows—for 30 days so you can PROVE for yourself that
WORMIX is all I say it is and that it SAVES HALF the usual cost.
Only after 30 years’ experience as a veterinary chemist was I able to
perfect this new WORM REMEDY, and I can say to you, positively, it
is the best, most effective ,and succesful worm destroyer, tonic. and
conditioner ever offered to livestock owners-—

I’ll-Prove It, or No Pay ‘ g .

I have compounded a great many different worm remedies—mar»
keted millions of pounds, but never in my 30 years of laboratory work
have I produced one so thoroughly effective, so economical in cost and
so satisfactory as WORMIX. First, it gives prompt results. Second, it
givespermanent results. Third, it savesHALF the cost of other worm
remedies. You do not have to dose each animal individually. YOur
stock “doctor themselves”. J

WORMIX not only rids your stock of stomach and intestinal
worms, but it KEEPS THEM FREE fromthese dangerous destructive
parasites—it PREVENTS reinfestation, and that is the only way you
can permanently rid your animals of these costly pests. Good alike for
Sheep, Hogs, Horses, Cattle and Goats.

You cannot afford to let this opportunity go by to PROVE to your—7
self that there is a POSITIVE, sure way to conquer worms in your live
stock, when all it costs is 25c. Read what those who have tried it say.

Your Animals Doctor Themselves
One of the big advantages of \VORMIX is in the fact that you do not have
to starve, drench or dose each animal. You simply put it where your
animals can have free access to it and they doctor themselves. 'Ihis not
only SAVES you a, dirty, disagreeable job, but it also INSURES permanent
results, because the only way you can permanently get rid of worms in live
stock is by using a remedy to which they can have constant free access, and
thus prevent the re-infestation which goes on daily until pastures, feed-lots,
etc., are free from worm infection. Wormix PREVENI‘S rein- -
testation. without starving, dosing or drenching.
