SCOTLAND HONORS M. A. C.‘ -. ’

I'm teaching stat! of chhigan
Agricultural College received its
.wcond signal recognition of out-

standing merit of the year recently

when word was given out that Prof.

J. 0. Veach ot the department of

soil survey had been selected by the

United States Department of Agri—

culture at the request of the agn-

cultural interests of Scotland, to in—
troduce soil survey methods in that
country.

. The ﬁrst recognition of the su—
perior merit of the state college‘s
staff came early this spring when

Dr. Staﬁseth of the veterinary di—

vision was invited to visit Budapest

as exchange professor.

Selection of Mr. Veach from an
army of available specialists all over.
the country is considered as prac-
tically according him the ﬁrst place
among soil survey experts at the en’-
ire country and is, according to
Prof. M. M. McCoo‘l of the soil de—
partment, a great tribute to the work
carried on at M. A. C. The soil sur—
vey department has only been a part
of the extension service since 1919.
but since that time, Mr. McCool de—
clares, it has been generally recog-
nized as the most progressive of any
institution in the United States. 4

Mr. Veach will leave on May 1,
and his visit is expected to cover a.
period of about six months.

TRANSPORTATION 0081' T00
HIGH, SAYS HORNER

IGH transportation charges con—

' stltute the largest bugaboo fac—
ing the Michigan farmers and

the only way this possibly can be
overcome is by increasing the volume
of the tarm products shipped and
thus bring the percentage of cost of
transportation to a minimum. Prof.
J. T. Horner, chief of the economics
department of M. A. 0., told the
Michigan Potato Producers associa—
tion at the opening of its annual
meeting at Traverse City, April 16.

m ‘AND CREAM CONSUMP-

' TION SHOW INCREASE

ONSUMPTION of milk and
cream has been steadily in-
creasing in the United States

tor a number of years, reports the
aDepartment of , Agriculture. which
estimates consumption at 52,772,—
000.000 pounds in 1924 compared
with 50.440.000.000 pounds in 1323.

The larger part of the increase
was, in consumption of cream, ”and
all of the increase was in, cities in—
”much as» consumpticn on the
fame was assumed to be the same
as in 1923. .,

The increase. says the depart—
ment. is due to improvement in
quality of product, delivery in san-
itary containers, and a general in—
crease in knowledge of the value of
milk in the diet. the result or milk
campaigns and special advertising.

The'ayerage per capita consump-
tion for the country as a whole last
year was 54.75 gallons compared
with 53 gallons in 1923. Daily av—

ing exerted upon them by the chain-
pions of reapportionment. .Bvery
tactic resorted to in 1923 to kill
the gas tax and to attempt to se-
cure the passage of a weight tax has
been used to bring the members
into line behind the Howarth redir-
tricting bill.

The Senate realizes that many up—
state Representatives are anxious
to have the Senate approve the Bry~
ant bill providing for the establish-
ment of a ﬁfth state normal school
in the upper part of the state. Gon-
sequently, the Senate is holding up
House of Representatives to force
the Bryant bill as a club over the
many of the up—state Representa-
tives into line on the Howarth re-
apportionment bill. This and many
other similar tactics are reported to
be winning votes for reapportion-
ment each day.

The Senate has unanimously pass—
ed Senator Young's bill to place
dealers in livestock remedies under

strict regulation and a stringent li— ..

cense system. This measure is in-
tended to prevent fraud and decep-
tion in the sale of so-called tonics,
condition powders, etc. which are
actually only compounds or common
and cheap ingredients, which have
little medicinal value and are ac-
tually worth but a small fraction of
the price asked.
Consider Human T-B

No doubt many readers oi? Tn:
BUSINESS FARMER will be glad to
learn that the House passed 80 to
7 Senator Greene’s bill allowing the
construction of county tuberculosis
sanitariums and providing $1.00 a.
day state aid for patients conﬁned
therein. This was the bill com-
mented on favorably in an editorial
printed in the last issue of this pa-
per.

Another important bill regarding
human tuberculosis is Senator Brow-
er’s proposal for the appropriation
of $500,000 for an entirely new
state tuberculosis sanitarium. It is
pointed out that the present insti-
tution at Howell is rather antiquat—
ed and is altogether inadequate for
supplying enough hospital facilities
for the many tubercular patients
clamoring for admission. In fact.
it is said that it would take four
new institutions each as lagre as
the one at Howell to completely ac-
comodate all of. those who should
be receiving treatment. This mease
ure has already approved by the
Senate and has been reported favor-
ably by the Public Health Commit-
tee of the House. It is said at have
the backing of the State Adminis-
tration.

The Richardson bill intended to
prevent grade crossing accidents in
Michigan was materially amended by
the Senate by taking away from the
Public Utilities Commission and
transferring to the State Adminis-
trative Board the power to determine
which railroad crossings were most
dangerous and as such should be
protected by signs requiring the stop-
ping of all automobiles before cross-

ing such tracks. The provisions of

this bill have been discussed in pre-

vious articles and in editorials
pearing in this publication.
Another bill which may have a
tendency to reduce automobile acci-
dents has also been passed by both
the Senate and the House. This in
Senator YOung’s bill imposing heavy

ap-

‘penalties upon persons convicted 0!
driving motor vehicles while inm~ ,
rented. A ﬁrst offense under ﬁlm
measure would be a wisdom“-

punishable by a ninety-day jail I.—
tence, while a second alone would
be felony. ‘

INCE January ist 1925, the Eu-
ropean corn borer has increased
, . the area of invasion in Michigan
by about 300 per cent. Previous to
that time Michigan was invaded
,‘only in Monroe and Wayne counties.
day, Sanilac, Lapeer, St. Clair,
.acomb, Oakland, Huron, Washten—
air and Lenawee counties have been
‘= ,invaded.
,. There has been no reduction of
"- Taxes. invaded nor do we expect or
‘h’ope that such a reduction will ever
' e‘ accomplished.
The spread into new territory has
Occurred all along the south shore
of Lake Erie“ in the states of New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio and
the outlook points to a further
spread until ﬁnally most of the
*nited States and Canada will be cc-
cupied.
.gFortunately the presence of the
corn borer does not seem to mean
the abandonment of corn as a staple
crop. We can still grow corn in
invaded areas, but we must grow
it under difﬁculty. The cost of pro-
duction will, of course, be meas--
ured by the amount of effort re-
quired to produce the crop, which
effort will be increased very mater-
ially. Possibly this effort will be
about doubled and it, therefore, be-
hooves us to slow up the spread of
the creature and to exert ourselves
to the utmost to hold it back just
as long as possible. There is the
hope, of course, that eventually
natural enemies will be introduced,
[which enemies may keep the borer

With many of our native pests.
However, in order to actually ﬁnd

Infested Area in Michigan Has ‘1‘ Increased

a
Q

By R. H. PETTIT

Professor of Entomology, Michigan Agricultural College

pean. corn borer prefers corn and
its allies, including broom-corn and
all that class of plants, still it does
not conﬁne itself to corn by any
means. It will work in any ﬂeshy
plant having a stalk or leaf petiole
of a pithy nature, and ,it ﬁnds
weeds, such as smart-weed,
good food indeed.

At the present moment, it is ﬁt-
ting to pass on to the farmer the
best advice that can be given with
our present knowledge of the pest.
First of all, be a booster of the
quarantine movement. Help to
mold public opinion in favor of
slowing up the spread of the pest
just as long as possible, possibly
long enough so that natural enemies

very ,

may be discovered and estabished
here. .

Destroy all remnants of corn-
stalks, .cobs and everything else in
the quarantined area' before the
15th of May, in order to kill the im-
mature forms before they have Ia
chance to change to perfect moths
and to still further spread the difﬁ-
culty. All corn in the quarantined
area and adjacent territory should
be cut. low, within an inch of the

_ ground if possible, or. as near that
Cut early because .

point as feasible.

wards the roots farther and farther

Perhaps one has been lost. They tell
the story of: the train, which, after
crossing the frontier, kicked up its
heels and ran amuck into the sur~~
rounding country, letting off steam
as it went, and carrying in its bosom
a load of outraged Teutonicity. Some
day, some day, Teutonic oiﬁcialdom
will ﬁnd that it is possible for a
country to “regulate an earthly para-
dise to the fraction of an inch
through that order which is supposed
to be heaven’s ﬁrst law—and lose
its soul in the regulation.”

The allied soldiers naturally en-
countered difﬁculty, and many dis—
agreeable complications in crossing
the German border during the war,
but even ﬁve years after the war was
all over, the traveller still had difﬁ—
culty in getting into Germany,-—-or
out. We in America would soon be—
come thoroughly tired of turning
over out pedigree and our baggage
every time we cross from Iowa into
Nebraska, Illinois or Minnesota," and
yet,‘at any of the boundary lines in
Europe, one is challenged- by the

customs ofﬁcials who go throught the
traveller's suitcase and sometimes
his pockets and always through cer-

tain details of his business, his des-
tination and his reason for traveling
—-——if any.

It is on this account that the trav-
eller must provide himself with a
passport before leaving the United
States, at a cost of $10 and a lot of
trouble, and then have it viseed be-
forehand by the consuls of each
country which he visits at an addi-
tional cost of $10 per vise. Ifqone
visits every country in Europe». it
counts up like their war debt. These
countries charge the citizens of other
countries much less than $10, but
when it comes to the “millionaire
Americans” the $10 fee is charged.
In most cases thisis not any unfair
discrimination, and is only done be-
cause the United States started the
$10 charge for admission into Our
country, and the European countries
are no doubt justiﬁed in charging
an equal amount. The difference lies

' in the 'fact that $10 allows ~a Europe<
«an to visit any and all of our 48

states, while we have to pay another
$10 for every one of the European
countries we Wish to visit.

Germany seems to be one of the
countries that is most particular

fermentation in the silo kills all of
the borers. It is worth while, also,
to fall-Jplow whenever this can be
made. to ﬁt, into the agricultural
program, plow after November 15.
The reason for this is that “worms"
that are turned under late .in the
seastm do not come up and re-estab-

' lish'themselves in loose stuff on the

surface, while the same _“Worms”,
if-buried early would crawl up and

- hide away until spring. ,

It is, iof course, apparent to every
one that in some seasons November

- 15 would be too‘ late to plow at all

and the answer to this comment is
that plowing very muchbefore. this
time is of doubtful value, at best,
in this particular connection.

Shredding of corn-stalks mechan—
ically kills a good liberal proportion,
of the larvae. The practice is,
therefore, to be encouraged.

‘Rapidly Spreading

In conclusion we are forced to
believe that the Creature is rapidly
extending its operations, both in
the area covered; and in the amount
of damage it can do. Furthermore,
the actual loss to the crop does not
make itself felt fully until the
creature has been established in a
region for several years.

We may look for a gradual in—
crease, or a spread of the pest, and
thus far, it would seem that nothing
man has hen able to do has accom—
plished more than to slow up this
spread. ‘We should so change our
agricultural practice has to bring
about the most unfavorable condi—
tions possible for the borer in order
that its numbers may be kept down
to a reasonable quota and that thus
we may still be able to raise corn
at a proﬁt in the future.

To recapitulate: Cut early. Cut
low. Destroy all stalks not used
up before the 15th of May in the
infested regions, and where possible
plow after the 15th of November.

Use, as much. corn as you can in
the silo and never allow corn to
stand in the ﬁeld over winter.

There Is Nothing Rottenin Denmark, According to American Farm Boy

about investigating those who cross
her borders. Oﬂicious policemen,
soldiers and customs inspectors come
through the trains at the border,
stamping pass-ports, examining rail—
road tickets, and checking up on the
traveller's supply of money. One
cannot leave Germany with too much
money, nor bring too much of foreign
money iri.‘ None of the members of
our party were bothered on that ac-
count in the least.

We always carried our baggage

. ourselves, and generally had it piled

three high on the luggage carriers

,in our compartment on the trains

or stowed away under the seats. It
seems to be a'rule of these inspec—
tohs that they must pick out for ex—
amination the piece that is hardest
to getrat, and they. generally take
mest-‘of the contents out of the par—
ticular suitcase that was the. fullest
and had been the hardest to pack
that morning.

Our train reached the German bor—
der about midnight, just after some
of us had ﬁnally succeeded in tuck—
ing each other away into the com—

TAKE HUBBAND’S SHARE ONLY

I would like to get your legal ad-
vice on land contract. A bought
some land from B on contract. B’s
wife did not sign, the contract. If
B’s wife refused to sign a deed, as
I understand it or the law, B could
not give a good and sufﬁcient con-
veyance in fee simple on account of
B’s wife . not signing contract.
Would the contract be void? , If
.so could B collect from A?——M. C.
D., Harrisville, Mich.

SYRUP DARK

Have made some maple syrup this
spring, ﬁnd it does not settle and
is very dark in color. I used a gal-
vanized tank to boil it in and used
this tank some three years ago and
syrup was ﬁne. Can you please tell
me of something that will settle this
syrup as I have several orders for
it but people do not want it so dark.

——C. P., Mackinaw City, Mich.
HE secret of making a light col-
. ored syrup lies in evaporating
the sap as soon as possible
after it is obtained from the tree.
It should be evaporated as rapidly
as possible in a shallow evaporator
rather than a tank a foot or more in
depth. Also a darker colored syrup
is caused by a rapid bacterial growth
during warm days or by a slight
scorching in the process of evapora-
tion. If the sap becomes soured
quickly all spiles, buckets and other
utensils should be sterilized in boll-
ing water. Settling the syrup will
not lighten the color appreciably.
The best method of clarifying is
through straining. Some producers
use the white of an egg to settle or
clarify but most of them make a
good product by following the sug-
gestions given above—R. F. Krood-
sma, Extension Specialist in Fores-
try, Michigan Agricultural College.

NO LAW REQUIRING RECORDING

Is there any law requiring that a
contract or mortgage held by a per-
son must be recorded? If so what
a person had either recorded which
would be the penalty, if any, when
had been held for two years or more?
—F. A., Coleman, Mich.

HERE is no law. requiring mort—
gages and land contracts to be
recorded. However, they should

be recorded as a matter of protec—
tion to the holder, giving notice to
the world of his interest.———Legal Ed~

DIVIDING WOOL

I have rented my farm for one-
third of the crops raised and one-
third of stock, also one-third of
milk checks. Now the question aris-
es as to the wool. Tenant started
work Monday, March 23. Is he en-
titled to one-third of the wool?
Room and board are included in the
contract—N. R., Perry, Mich.

E‘R the one—third rental sys-
tem the tenant furnishes all the
labor and bears one-third of

such expenses as thresh bill, seed.
twine, purchased feed, and fertilizer.
In many cases the tenant furnishes
the work horses. The landlord fur-
nishes land. stock and equipment
and bears two-thirds of above men-
tioned expense. The tenant receives
one-third of the income forth labor
and the landlord two-thirds for his

Durand in the March 28th issue

of M. B. F. under the heading “Some
Questions About Sugar Beet Con—
tract." I’ll give anyone a pound of
the best candy that money can buy
if they will answer these questions,
completely, accurately and honestly.
and get the answers published in a
widely read Michigan farm paper.

I would like to see all of the farm-
ers “get next" to all those points
of which they are now grossly ig-
norant—~Carl C. DeWitt,_ Gratiot
County.

IS FARMING ,DYING INDUSTRY?

' looks as though farming is a

dying industry. According to

history, spinning and weaving
and clothes—making was done in the
homes on the farm. The farm imp-
lements as shown in histories were
very crude also. The farmer in the
timbered part of the country built
his own fence from the woods, they
hauled their saw logs to the mill and
got .them sawed into lumber and
built their own dwellings, they used
wood for fuel. Now the timber is
gone .and this has changed so that
the farmer has to buy his fuel. The
soil is fast being worn out and there
are still more articles for the farmer
to buy and with a much less income.
Special farming is claimed to be a
failure and general farming is advo=
cated.

Special farming requires less farm
machinery while general farming re-
quires a full line of machinery which
is an extra expense.

Now they are trying to beat the
hen out of her job by substituting
for eggs and the old cow they are
also trying to beat out of her job
as there are substitutes for butter
and milk. Home—made or dairy but-
ter we cannot sell to the stores as
they will not buy it so we have to
sell direct to the customer or to the
creamery.

Another article the farmer is los~
ing is the horse. According to re-
cent reports the number of horses on
farms in the United States in 1918
were 21,565,000 and around the ﬁrst
of 1924 this number had decreased
to 18,263,000 or a decrease of 3,-
292,000 in six years. This is saying
nothing about the decrease of horses
in the cities. Losing the horse is
another kick at the farmer. The
grain farmer loses a market for the
grain through it also, hay and the
raising of horses to sell. It is chang-
ing all over to the oil industry and
the great shops of the city. The

tractor and auto have taken that,

part of the farm industry and as it
looks now we have too many farm-
ere-—more of them will have to move
to the city following the industry.
The tractor has kept pace with the
increasing population. Now under
this condition they ask the farmer
to scenomize, lots of them havevuatil
as! have nothing.

They want 'us _
r and more. As ,.

   

to eat I do not see” the use of pro-
ducing more as there would be no
demand for more. .

You can this see the change farm-
ing is going through. It is only a
matter of time as Edison says until
we will live from the air. Also a
professor from Germany and one
from Italy say the same—Chas. Kel-
ler, Muskegon County.

THE POWER on PUBLIC
smmmm‘

EAR Editor:—-“Public Senti-

‘ment" may be deﬁned as the

general approval of that which
a community regards with favor or
the disapproval of that which it re-
gards with disfavor, being the gen-
eral trend of the people‘s desires or
briefly the 1pinion in regardeto a
moral question—A ruling principle
in a community.

The power of the press to create
and uphold a worthy public senti-
ment is very great and this powerful
agency for good will not fail, it is
hoped, in discharging its positive
duty in this matter.

Without the dynamic of Public
Sentimental] law is forceless and
this fact is perhaps not fully recog-
nized becauSe of not having given the
subject that careful consideration
which its importance demands of
every worthy citizen.

It cannot be doubted that the one
greatestagency for the creating and
upholding'of a worthy Public Senti-
ment is the Christian Religion and
which truth is forcefully stated by
James Russell Lowell who has well
said, “But so long as skeptics are de-
pendent upon the religion which they
discard for every privilege which
his hope and humanity of its faith
they enjoy they may well hesitate be-
fore seeking to rob the Christian of
in that Saviour who has given to man
that hope of Eternal life which robs
death of its torture and the grave of
its gloom."

In this connection the folowing
words of the lamented President
Theodore Roosevelt may be consid-
ered with proﬁt. "It is righteous-
ness and not peace which should bind
the conscience. A man or a nation
is disgraced if the Obligation to up-
hold the right is shirked."

And now in this important duty
of helping to create and uphold a
worhty Public Sentiment, let us not
fail in doing our duty.——J. T. Dan-
iells, Clinton County.

RADIO DEPARTMENT .

REGENERATI V E SETS

I have got a three tube radio
which is a regenerative set. What
is the difference betwen a regen—
erative and non-regenerative set?
I have been told in a short time it
wil be against the law to opera'te‘a
regenerative set. Is there any
truth in this? I have been a reader
of your paper for several years and
think it is all right—J. 3., North
Bradley. ,Mich.

HE difference between a regener-
ative set and one that is not
that way is that the regenera-

tive set uses a principle in its hook—
up that enables the detector tube to
strength, by repeating action which
gives as much distance and volume
as two tubes will give if no regen—
eration is used.

A regenerative set, if allowed to
oscillate, acts ‘as a sending set. and
it is against the law to operate a
sending set without a government
license and a licensed operator.
There are a good many regenerative
sets now being used, numbering In .

. thorities deep—rooted but no doubt
corn sends its roots down twice as

far as beets. etc. ‘ -

The garden I mentioned in a for—
mer article which was not plowed
and only cultivated up with a live-
tooth cultivator produced some ex—
cellent beets, carrots and parsnips.
Many of these were twelve or tour-
toen inches long and over three
inches in diameter. The owner of
this garden told me the other day
he would use the ﬁve-tooth culti-
vator again this year in place of
the plow. - '

We plow about six inches deep, in
most places, lor potatoes. Sam
times a little deeper. I have just
been reading about a nine hundred
sixty acre tam in lllnois, supposed
to be the best farm in that state.
The manager of this farm says he
does not believe in deep plowing
and they never plow more than all
inches deep, and he says he knows
one very successful farmer who
never plows more than ﬁve inches

. «deep.

It is quite possible some soils
need to be plowed eight or nine
inches deep once every few years

i and this deep tillage should be fall

plowing or summer tallowing. I
would suggest Mr. J. C. do some ex-
perimenting as to how deep to
plow, work up a small portion of
the potato ground with a disc har-
row. Generally a good growth of
clover or some manure is plowed
un'der for potatoes, why plow it out
on top for the next crop if to be
a cultivated one? We would be
glad to have Mr. ,J. C. write us next
fall and tell how he plowed or ﬁtted
the ground and give his results. I
like to read of Experimental Sta.-
tion trials and methods, but what
is more interestingthan to read of
some farmer’s. way of handling his
crop related in his own way?

Twenty Dollars Well Invested

We have always had our garden
fenced from the poultry, but all
our yards around the house and tool
shed Were their favorite haunt. It
was impossible to keep them from
entering the shed and shop as some—
times dom‘s must be left open. We
could not have clean walks or drive--
ways, there was no use in trying
to smooth up the yard and seed it,
no ﬂowers were possible unless they
were covered with . netting and

ﬂowers in such cages never. found ~

much favor with us. Now that the
poultry house has been moved farm
ther back and the yards changed
somewhat we have erected twenty
rod of sixty inch poultry teneevwlth
poultry netting twenty-four inches
wide placed on top of. the fence
making it seven feet high. This
fence gives the chickens the run
of. the barn yards and all the farm
ﬁelds. We can clean up the door

i t t I,
A Busy ”Week

it has been a busy week [or us.
We have never loaded an entire
ear-load of certiﬁed potatoes before.
We have always shipped in local
shipments until this spring. Last
{all we booked an order ' {or a. car-
load of seed with a farm bureau
service in/ central Ohio, and those
few days have found us every bit
as busy as the men on “Production"
up at Highland Park. Certiﬁed food
soils {or more than common seed
and both kind are selling for no
more than it costs to produce
them. There is no proﬁt in grow—
ing certiﬁed seed or table stock at
present prices. Potato growing is
a little diaerent than any other
crap we raise.- One can not well
stop growing them for one year.
The seed requirements are so large
in planting twelve or ﬁtteeuaacres
one is almost forced to stay in the
game steadily. We would one
about 2:90 bushels of seed on ﬁfteen
acres of potatoes and only little
more than one bushel or seed corn
would plant ﬁfteen acres. 8983.18 “
would only require seven or eight
bushel. Some difference in these
and ' the two hundred required on
spuds! Then again potatoes re-
quire a lot of special machinery
which is worthless it potatoes are
not grown. .' -

One producing table stock only
might possibly cease production [or
a your or so and only grow enough
to keep his need supply good. I
ﬁnd the seed growing is a little
different. 'We, have many patrons
who depend on us for .seed every
spring and it we should disappoint
them many times they would pass
us up altogether. One growling

_ table stock does not have the need

for continuous supply as the seed
fellow does.

The Home Question

We have never maintained more
than four horses on our farm. When
a big rush of work was on we have
hired a man and team or a man
with a tractor-once or twice. This
year, however, as James, our son is
at home we needed another hortse.
One cannot deny the fact the trac—
tor has some advantages over. a
horse and equally true is it that the
horse has some advantages over
the tractor. We studied some time
and ﬁnally concluded another horse
would be the best investment for
us. And in looking about the sur—
rounding vicinity for another horse
we came to the’ conclusion: that
there are very few young horses in
the country and practically no
young horses are for sale.

“The question naturally comes .up
“Where will we get our horses in’
six or eight years from now it ,we
do not get busy and raise some
colts?” ,

After we had submitted once more

That was the stormiest water voyage

nearly threw up the claim- Even the

Ten thousand Swedes
Ran through the weeds
At the battle of Copenhagen.
The dust from the weeds
Made snuff for the sweedes,
And they called it Copenhagen.

The democracy of Denmark ﬁrst
showed itself to us in the courteous
lifting of the hat when the porters
met our train in Copenhagen. It was
not with the natural and almost cul-
tured grace with which the colored
porters of our own South recognize
their position; it was not with the
cart sophistication by which the
white porters in New York‘ acknow-
ledge their superiority over you as
they take your” baggage; it was not
with the menial bowing and scrap-
ings of the London porters by which
they acknowledge their inferiority,
which is just as distasteful; but it
was with the man to man friendliness
of one neighbor helping another that
the Danish porters, sober, respon-

their hat, and when we signiﬁed in
the universal sign language that we
would carry our own—which we al.
ways did—they as politely smiled

and let it go at that.

The Danish men always lift their
hats to each other when meeting on
the street or "when saying goodbye.
We found ourselves gradually tall-
ing into this habit, for we we s al-
ways meeting and leaving people,
which is never done without this lift~
ing of the hat and a dignified bowing
of the head.

Everyone in Copenhagen seems to
be on \a satisfying par. And since
the 600:000 people in the capital city
make up a rather large percentage of
the three million people that are, in
the Whole of Denmark, it can be
supposed that the Danes are nearly
all disciples of social and economic
equality.

We had heard that there are no
poor people in the whole of this great
city! We had already seen so much '
of pitiful poverty in Europe and we
were yet to see so much more—that
it seemed to be an idle boost for any-
one to say that there are so poor

“ DON’T understand, Henry."

‘ I’ve had to think of Conrad this
morning in the same way I've had to
think of Ben Corvet of recent years—as
a threat against the interests of. those
people.” '
Her color rose, and her pulse quickened.
Henry neVer talked to her, exceptin the
merest commonplaces, about his relations
with Uncle Benny; it was a matter in
which, she had recognized, they had been
opposed; and since the quarrels between
the old friend whom she had loved from
childhood and him, who wished to become
now more than a mere friend to her, had
grown more violent, she had purposely
avoided mentioning Uncle Benny to
Henry, and he quite as consciously, had
avoided mentioning Mr. Corvet to her.
“I’ve known for a good many years.”
Spearman said reluctantly, “that Ben
Corvet’s brain was seriously affected.
He recognized that himself even earlier,
and admitted it to himself‘when he took
me off my ship to take charge of the
company. I might have gone with other
people then, or it wouldn’t have been very
long before I could have started in as
a ship owner myself; but, in view of his
condition, Ben made me promises that
offered me most. Afterwards his malady
progressed so that he couldn’t know him-
self to be trustworthy; his judgment was
impaired, and he planned and would have
tried to carry out many things which
have been disastrous for the company.
I had to ﬁght him—for the company’s
sake and for my own sake and that of
others, whose interests were at stake.
Your father came to see that what I was
doing was for the company’s good and
has learned to trust me. But you—you
couldn't see that quite so directly, of
course, and you thought I didn’t—like
Ben, that there was some lack in me
which made me fall to appreciate him."

"No; not that,” Constance denied
quickly. “Not that, Henry.”

“What was it then, Connie? You
thought me ungrateful to him? I real-
ized that I owed a great deal to him;
but the only way I could pay that debt
was to do exactly what I did—oppose
him and seem to push into his place and
be an ingrate; for, because I did that,
Ben’s been a. respected and honored man
in this town all these last years, which
he couldn't have remained if I’d let him
have his way, or if I told others why I
had to do what I did. I didn’t care what
others thought me; but I did care what
you thought; yet if you couldn’t see what
I was up against because of your affec-
tion for him, Why—that was all right
too.”

“No, it wasn’t all right," ‘she denied
almost fiercely, the ﬂush ﬂooding her
cheeks; a throbbing was in her throat
which for an instant, stopped her. “You
should have told me, Henry; or—I should
have been able to see.”

“I couldn't tell you—dear,” he said
the last word very distinctly, but so low
that she could scarcely hear. “I couldn’t
tell you now—if Ben hadn’t gone away
as he has and this other fellow come.
I couldn't tell you when you wanted to
keep caring so much for your Uncle
Benny, and he was trying to hurt me with
you."

She bent toward him, her lips parted;
but now she did not speak. She never
had really known Henry until this mo—
ment, she felt; she had thought of him
always as strong, almost brutal, ﬁghting
down ﬁercely, mercilessly, his opponents
and welcoming contest for the joy of
overmhelming others by his own decisive
strength and power. And she had been
almost ready to marry that man for his
strength and dominance from those quali-
ties; and now she knew that he was
merciful too—indeed, more than merciful.
In the very‘ contest where she had
thought of him as most selfish and re-
gardless of another, she had most com-
pletely misapprehended.

“I ought to have seen!” she rebuked
herself to him. “Surely, I should have
seen that was it !" Her hand, in the re-
proach of her feeling, reached toward
him across the table; he caught it and
held it in his large, strong hand which
in its'touch, was very tender too. .She
had never allowed any such demonstra-
tions as this before; but now she let her
hand remain in his.

“How could you see?” he defended her.
“He neVer showed to you the side he
showed to me and— in these last years,
anyway—never to me the side he. showed
to you. But after what has happened
this week, you can understand now; and
you can see why I have to distrust the
young fellow who’s come to claim Ben
Corvet’s place.”

"‘Claim !” Constance repeated; she drew
her hand quietly away from his now.
“Why, Henry, I did not know he claimed
anything; he didn’t even know when he
came here—”

"He seems, like Ben Corvet,” Henry
said slowly, j“to have the, characteristic
of showing‘one» side to you, another to
me, Connie. With you, of course, he
claimed nothing;

had—his other properties and his inter-
est in Corvet, Sherrill, and Spear-man.
I very naturally objected to the execution
of . those transfers, without considerable
examination. in view of Corvet’s mental
condition and of the fact that they put
the controlling stock of Corvet, Sherrill,
and Spearman in the hands of a youth
no one ever heard of—and one who,. by
his own story, never had seen a. ship
until yesterday. And when I didn’t dis-
miss my business with a dozen men this
morning to take him into the company,
he claimed occasion to see me alone to
threaten me." "

“Threaten you,
what?”

“I couldn’t quite make out myself, but
that was his tone; he demanded an “ex-
planation' of exactly what, he didn't
make clear. He has been given by Ben,
apparently, the technical control of Cor-
vet, Sherrill, and Spearman. His idea, if
I oppose him, evidently is to turn me
out and take the management himself."

Henry? How? With

Constance leaned back, confused. “He
Alan Conrad ?” she questioned. “He
can't have done that, Henry! Oh,- he

can't have meant that!"

“Maybe he didn’t; I said I couldn’t
make out what he. did mean," Spearman
said. “Things have come upon him with
rather a rush, of course; and you couldn’t
expect a. country boy to get so many
things straight. He’s acting, I suppose,
only in the way one might expect a. boy
to act who had been brought up in pov-
erty on a Kansas prairie and was sud-
denly handed the possible possession of a.
good many millions of dollars. It’s bet-
ter to believe that he’s only lost his head.
I haven't had opportunity to tell your
father these things yet; but I wanted
you to‘ understand why Conrad will
hardly consider me a friend.”

“I’ll understand you now, Henry," she
promised.

He gazed at her and started to speak;
then, as though postponing it on account
of the place, he glanced around and took
out his watch.

“You must go back?” she asked.

“No; I'm not going back to the ofﬁce
this afternoon, Connie; but I must call
up your father."

He excused himself and went into the
nearest telephone booth.

CHAPTER IX
Violence

At half-past three, Alan left the ofﬁce.
Sherrill had told him ,an hour earlier
that Spearman had telephoned he would
not be able to get back for a conference
that afternoon; and Alan was certain
now that in Spearman’s absence Sherrill
would do nothing further with respect to
his affairs. '

He halted on the ground ﬂoor of the
ofﬁce building and bought copies of each
of the afternoon papers. A~ line com-
pletely across the pink page of onevan-
nounced “Millionaire Ship Owner Miss-
ing!” The other three papers, printed
at the same hour, did not display the
story prominently; and even the one which
did failed to make it the most conspic-
uous sensation. A line of larger and

. blacker type told of a change in the
battle line on the west front and, where
-the margin might have been. was the
bulletin of some sensation in a local di-
vorce suit. Alan was some time in find-
ing the small print which went with the
millionaire ship owner heading; and when
he found it, he discovered that most of
the space was devoted to the description
of Corvet’s share in the development of
shipping on the lakes and the peculiarity
of his past life instead of any definite
announcement concerning his fate.

The other papers printed almost ident-
ical items under small head-type at the
bot-tom of their ﬁrst pages; these items
stated that Benjamin Corvet, the senior
but inactive partner of the great ship-
ping ﬂrm of Corvet, Sherrill, and Spear—
man, whose “disappearance” had been
made the subject of sensational rumor,
“is believed by his partner, Mr. Henry

Spearman, to have simply gone away for

a rest," and that no anxiety ~was felt con-
cerning him. Alan found .no mention of
himself nor any of the circumstances con-

m... "

    
  

. . ,_, ut‘tliat neighborhoo f. chi
Where the Shawn‘s—end now. Alan him
self—flirted was less thans "half hour’s
walk from the dorm-town district and, iii
the present turmoil of his thoughts, he
wanted to be moving. ' -’ -
Spearman, he reflected as. he walked
north along the avenue, plainly had die-
tated the paragraphs he just. had read
in the papers. Sherrill, Alan .knew, had

    
 

, desired to keep the circumstances regard-

ing CorVet from becoming public; and
without Sherrill’s agreement concealment-
would have been impossible, but it was
Spearman who had checked the suspic-
ions of' outsiders and determined what
they must believe; and, by so doing, he
made it impossible for Alan to enroll aid
from the newspapers or the police. Alan
did not. know whether he might have
found it expedient to seek publicity; but
now he, had not a single proof of any-
thing he oould tell. For Sherrill, natural-
ly, had retained the papers Corvet had
left. Alan could not hope to abtain cre-
dence from Sherrill and, without Sherrill's
aid, he could not obtain credence from
any one else.

Was there, then, no one whom Alan
could tell of his encounter with Spearman
in Corvet’s house, with probability of re—
ceiving belief? Alan had not been think-
ing directly of Constance Sherrill, as he
walked swiftly north to the Drive; but
she was, in a way, present in all his
thoughts. She had shown interest in him,
or at least in the position he was in, and
sympathy: he had 'even begun to tell her
about these things when he had spoken
to her of some event in “’Corvet’s house
which had given him the name “Miwaka,”
and he had asked her if it was a ship.
And there could be no possible consequent
peril to her in telling her; the peril, if
therewas any, would be only to himself.

His step quickened. As he approached
the Sherrill house, he saw standing at the
curb an open roadster with a. liveried
chauffeur: he had seen that roadster, he
recognized with a little start, in front of
the office building that morning when
Constance had taken him down-town. He
turned into the walk and rang the bell.

The servant who opened the door knew
him and seemed to accept his right of
entry to the house, for he drew back for
Alan to enter. Alan. went into the hall
and waited for the servant to follow.
“Is Miss Sherrill in?" he asked.

“I’ll see, sir." The man disappeared.
Alan, waiting, did not hear Constance’s
voice in reply to .the announcement of
the servant, but Spearman’s vigorous
tones. The servant returned. “Miss Sher-
rill will see you in a minute, sir.”

Through the wide doorway to the draw~
ing-room, Alan could see the smaller,
portiered entrance to the room beyond-—
Sherrill's study. The curtains. parted,
and Constance and Spearman came into
this inner. doorway; they stood an instant ’
there in talk. As Constance started away.
Spearman suddenly drew her back to him
and Vikissed ther. Alan’s shoulders .spon-
taneously jerked back, and his hands
clenched: he did not k away and, as
she approached, she became aware that
he had seen. '

She came to him, very quiet and very
ﬂushed; then. she was quite pale as she
asked him, “You wanted me?”

He was white as she, and could not
speak at once: “You told me last night,
Miss Sherrill,” he said, “that the last
thing that Mr. Corvet did—the last that
you know of—was to warn you against
one of your friends. Who was that?”

She flushed uneasily. “You mustn’t at-
tach any importance to that; I didn't
mean you to. There was no reason for
what Mr. Corvet said, except in Mr. Cor—
vet’s own mind. He had a quite unrea-
sonalble animosity—”

“Against Mr. Spearman, you mean."

She did not answer.

“His animosity. was against Mr. Spear-
man, Miss Sherrill, wasn’t it? That is
the only animosity of Mr. Corvet’s that
any one has told me about.”

“It was against Mr. Speanman that he
warned you. then?" ‘

“Thank you.” He turned and, not
waiting for the man, let himself out. He
should have known it when he had seen
that Spear-man, after announcing himself
as unable to get back to the office, was
with Constance.

costly tombstones? But some day,
our children through the spirit of
a sacriﬁcial service to” the living, will
set up an aristocracy of brains as
over against that of money, and a
fellowship of the heart as over
against that of affectation. He who
pleaded so pathetically, “O Jerusa-

lem, Jerusalem, how often would I -

have gathered thy children together,
even as a hen gathereth her chiCk-

Our text expresses the true end

“Men do not gather grapes of thorns

Yesterday I stood by the grave of

will you have left to your community ‘

the fragrance of‘a fruitful life or
of a ﬂewer-bedecked carcass? Press

this matter to your heart.

' Andnow mark, the graces of our
text are growu in life and not mis-
appropriated at the end. They are
fruits and not the decorations of
man'. The spirit of Christ Within is
the'abundant source of this produc-
tive energy. If you will let Christ:
become a guest in your heart he will
provide the conditions to the growth
of a fruitful life.

Now, we are considering a bas-
ket of nine fruits. They‘ have been
classiﬁed as lying in groups of three.
Those virtues that relate to God,
such .as“love, joy, peace;” to our
fellow man, as “longsuffering, kind-
ness, goodness;” and those to our-
selves, as‘.“faithfulness,’ meekness,
self-control.”

“The fruit of the Spirit is love."
This queen of graces has a right to
be at the head. She is not only
ﬁrst, but ﬁtlieSt and greatest. We
love Him because he ﬁrst loved us.

That is, faith in Christ unveils his

loveliness to us and we are taken
captive. This is the very essence of
the Gospel. It is the fulﬁlling of
the law. My profession may be loud
and my reputation for good works
laudable, but ’without this divine
affection I have no moral fruit. “I
am nothing” without love. Ortho-
doxy alone will not do. There must
be a fountain of love in the heart
that ﬂows out in mercy and good-
ness.

You don’t understand? Well, you
can’t understand. I don’t under-
stand wireless. I can’t reason out
how I could hear that Golden Wed—
ding program the other night. But
I could admire if I took the time to
listen. 'I don’t understand the deli—
cate and varrigated colors in the
ﬂowers on my desk, but I can ad-
mire if I take time to look. My
head does not help me to see why
a group of American missionairies
refused a military force to protect
them from Chinese banditry. But

my heart helps me out. Now, stop

reasoning about Christ and take
time to look at him through the

‘ eyes of the heart. Take plenty of

time. Don’t hurry. Look at Him
through the perspective of the Cross.

, Meditate and admire. Your charac-

ter is at stake. Get close to Christ.
You cannot see afar off. Throw
overboard your loveless knowledge.
“Hath not God made foolish the
wisdom of this world?" Now, you
feel your heart throb in sympathy
and love. This is the ﬁrst fruits
of the Spirit.

“Joy.” Joy is always at home
when love is around. “For the joy
that was set before Him he endured
the Cross.” It was the last night.
They were at the table. The shad-
ow of the Cross was upon Jesus.
But “joy" was much in the con-
versation. “These things have I
spoken of that my joy may be in you
and that your joy may be made
full.” This is the joy that the sel-
ﬁsh heart cannot know; that world-
ly gratiﬁcation cannot bring; that
suffers gladly in life; and that tri-
umphs at death.

“Peace.” What peace? “My
peace/f says. Jesus. This is the
“peace that passeth all understand-

ing." Natural peace is ﬁtful and
outward. Prospects are ﬁne and
plans work out. Then there is

peace. That, we can understand.
But when things are dead against
you; what then? Verily, genuine
peace is inward. No, We cannot un-
derstand. It is the fruit of the
Spirit.

“Ye shall receive power when the
Holy Spirit is upon you.” Quiet
and invisible power. I entered the

Zinc Insulated American Fence with
its heavy uniform zinc insulation against
rust is as different from ordinary fence as
Banner Posts with their railroad rail con.-
struction and slit wing anchor plate are
different from ordinary T-Steel Posts.

Banner Steel Posts with their railroad

fence securely in line, plus the solidity to
Withstand the strain of installation and

many years of hard service.

Easy to Attach

Continuous rows of notches close to-

Wires easily fastened with Zinc Insu-
Iated “Hump” Fastener, which snaps on
both sides of the post and holds wires
securely.

Also note how the notches extend out
and away from the body of the fence so

that snow, moisture, etc., cannot
lodge, and start rust. ‘

“The Farm Paper of Service"

 

“THE KING IS DEAD. LONG LIVE THE KING!

" 0U made me what I am today,
eru’re satisﬁed!” runs one of the 'more or

less modern songs and it seems to ﬁt
the picture now presented at East Lansing quite
aptly.

At this writing the bill changing the name
of the Michigan Agricultural College to “The
Michigan State College” awaits only the signa-
ture of the governor to make it a law. The
proud name which has cost eighty years of
labor and millions of dollars to the tax-payers
of Michigan to give it the world-wide signiﬁ-
cance which it today bears, has by a single im-
prudent act been swept into the discard.

THE BUSINESS FARMEB lead a single—handed
light to prevent the destruction of so rich a
heritage, but the halls of the legislature are too
close to the war-whoops and the snake-dances
of the college boys at East Lansing~we lost,
but when we lost, Michigan agriculture lost
title to an asset the value of which will become
more apparent to the farm organization leaders
and the farm press whose lethargy is alone res-
ponsible for its betrayal.

“A rose by any other name would smell as
sweet!” says the poet, but to us it would not
hold the cherished memories with which each
flower eventually associated itself in our minds.
So too, the Michigan State College may carry
forward the banner of old M. A. C., but it will
have lost that subtle charm and association
which only age can give and which is. when all
is said and done, the richest heritage we leave
to posterity.

“The king is dead, long live the king! " Old
M. A. C. is gone forever! We salute the new
State College and fondly pray that when eighty
more years of accomplishment have passed, it
wil not have to suffer the present ignominy of
its worthy predecmor.

Oneeot the bills, introduced
by Senator Vincent Martin, of Fruitport, would
remove all tn: exempt bonds and place a tax, 'of
two milk on Comedic bonds. The other bill
would place a ten of three milk on all foreign
bonds, and was introduced by Senator Walter
Truettner, of Bessemer. Lobbying by the. bond
men caused the bills to‘be shelved.

Recent estimates gave the wealth of the United
States as $320,960,000,000, and one—tenth of this
amount is ,tax exempt securities. The untaxable
public and semi-public property and untaxabie

bonds in this country total nearly one-sixth of the ‘

wealth of the country.

Just taxation cannot exist under such condi—
tions, and we believe that Congness will be forced
to act on this question soon.

THE (:an NEED non coo BEDS

UR recent editorial on “Farmers' and the

White Pleague" has attracted wide atten-

tion and been much discussed, especially in
the legislature at Lansing, where both the Greene
bill to allow state aid for tuberculosis patients
conﬁned in county sanltorlums and the Brewer
hill to make an appropriation for the construc-
tion of a new state sanitorium have been re—
ceiving considerable attention.

Our previous editorial pointed out the serioue—
ness of the situation and showed its direct re-
lation to Michigan farmers and their families.
These facts need not be repeated here, but per—
haps they are of sufficient interest and import—
ance to be supplemented a little.

In a recent hearing before a committee of the
State Senate. of Michigan, Senator W. J. Pearson
said, “I spent $10,500 to win back the health
of my daughter from tuberculosis. To-day she
is well and happy. But if I had not been able
to get the necessary money she would now be
in her grave.”

In the interest of all those fathers and mothers
of Michigan who must rely on facilities in our
own state, whose private fortunes will not per-
mit them to seek elsewhere advantages which
Michigan does not yet provide for her own people
we would again emphasize the need for approp-
riations for a new state tuberculosis sanitorium.
Michigan is nearly 900 tuberculosis sanitorium
beds short of its needs. Patients now on the
Howell sanitorium waiting list and others not
now in a sanitorium who need sanitorium care
would ﬁll four more institutions of the capacity
of the sanitorium at Howell. There are be-
tween 30,000 and 40,000 living consumptives in
Michigan.

While Floyd Collins was dying in that Ken—
tucky cavern, while governors, soldiers, surgeons,
engineers, miners and men and women of this
country worked and waited over the life of one
obscure man, nearly 5,000 American men, women
and children died miserably of tuberculosis, a
preventable «Macaw—144 in Michigan.

Your own family, let us hope, is at present
free from tuberculosis; but it is only too true
that "No home is safe from tuberculosis until
all homes are safe."

Surname occur ms tr-B cows

HILE our legislature is struggling to, do-
termlne just how much stateﬂunde should
be set aside for paying state rewards on

condemned and slaughtered tuberculin!" cattle, a
high Judicial authority deals another death blow
at the diseased milch cow. Thus day by day
it is becoming increasingly evident that in the
near future mill: from untested cows should not
be used for drinking Surpass: for either adults
or children.

The new nail driven in. the audio of the un-
tested cow is contained in a decision recently
handed down by the Minnesota Supreme Court
in a case regarding the enforcement of _ quaran-
tine provisions of the bovine tuberculosis law.

Among other things the decision states "that
tuberculosis is a dangerous, contagious, infectious
disease, which attacks both human beings and
domestic animals; that it is prevalent through-

‘out the state both inhuman beings and animals:

and that it is communicated to human beings,
especially to children, by milk and other food
products from infected animals, stands undis—
puted. The object of the, statute is to promote
and preserve the public health by providing a
means for the control and suppression of this
disease among cattle. That it is for a public
purpose is beyond question.”

TO FIGHT THE CORN BORER

N an article on page four of this issue Prof.
R. H. Pettlt of the M. A. C. tells us that the
European corn borer is spreading rapidly in

Michigan. On January .. lot of this year it was
conﬁned to two counties but'since that date it
has spread into eight counties. There is no
hope, at .present, of reducing the infested area
but everything possible to prevent further spread
must be done and the Agriculture Comriii es of
the Senate should be commended for their action
on the Warner Corn Borer Bill. The bill as
introduced into the House by Rep. Warner, of
Ypsilanti, called for $25,000 a year to ﬁght this
post, but the Ways and Means Committee of the
House cut it 'to $12,000 and that is the way it
went to the Senate. The Agriculture Committee
of the Senate saw the need of Michigan having
adequate funds for its share of the combined
state and federal campaign against the spread
of the borer and restored the amount to $25,009.

HOW TO PRESS CLOTHING
LOTHING will remain new look—
ing much longerif it is pressed
often and properly,
quent pressing that is not done in
the right way will soon ruin any
garment, declared a writer in a re-
, cent issue of the Christian Science
Monitor. '
Never press with the iron directly
on the cloth, not even on the wrong
side, for the dry heat from the iron

eventually will kill the life of
the fabric. Always use a rather
thick damp cloth between. If the

material is shiny, as serge that has
seen long service is likely to be, this
shine will disappear and the gar—
ment look almost like new if you
simple make the intervening cloth
pretty damp, almost wet. It is the
steam that removes shine, restores
color, and gives the appearance of
newness to the texture of the cloth.

When pressing, do not run the
iron about on the material as in
ironing. The use of the iron in
pressing is entirely different. Set
the iron down, then lift it off the
goods, set it down and lift it, in one

place, then in another place, then
back to the ﬁrst place again. Don’t
allow the iron to remain in one

place long enough to dry it much,
but just enough to heat the damp
cloth and produce steam. Change
the iron to a new position every few
minutes. Thus the cloth will be
dried gradually and uniformly and
without showing marks from the
iron.

Get the garment as dry as you
can before removing it from your
ironing board, but even then some
dampness may remain in it. There-
fore hang it up at once on a proper
hanger to ﬁnish drying. If it is a.
dress skirt put two or three safety
pins through the’doubled belt, and
hang these safety pins on nails far
enough apart to hold the skirt in its
proper shape. Many a garment that
has been pressed properly has been
found full of creases and “mussy”
looking later, through failure to let
the garment become perfectly dry.

PIES FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY

' EW ENGLAND‘claims to be the
" originator of the pumpkin pie.

v The custom of eating this type
of pie came from the British Isles
where over three hundred years ago
the housewife cut a hole in the side
ofvthe pumpkin, took out the seeds,
ﬁlled the cavity

such an ancient dish has come our

pies with crusts to delight the en-,

tire family.

The housewife is happy when the
pie ﬁlling holds its shape and cuts
smoothly. The following recipes,

of this solution with 18 quarts of
boiled water. A stone jar is best
to preserve eggs in water glass.
Two six-gallon or three four—gallon
jars are sufﬁcient for thirty dozen
eggs, using the amount of solution
prescribed. After thoroughly clean-
ing the jars, place the eggs in them
and pour in the water glass solu—
tion. The eggs at the top should
be covered by at least two inches of
the liquid. Cover the jars to pre-
vent evaporati-on, and put them in
a cool place where they will be un—
disturbed during the year. If the
solution evaporates, or becomes
thick and jelly-like, add water.

CHILD DISCIPLINE

E secret of all discipline with

children is to make the child

like to do what you want him
to do. There are several Ways of
doing this. First, the attitude of
the parent is important; the tone
of the voice and the facial expres-
sion. Second, do with the child the
thing you wish done until he gets
started. He will do almost anything
if you will do it with him. Third,
make everything a game, a race or
a test of endurance and he Will
love doing it. Be sure the child
understands the commands you give
him; they should be few and simple.
See that there are no unreasonable
demands and be consistent, not al—
lowing the thing one day and for—
bidding it the next. Always be care-
ful to distinguish between what he
“may” and what he “must”. There
should not be too many “musts”.
Absolute regularity in proper health
habits feeding and sleeping de-
mands p o‘per obedience, and the
habit of obedience should be ﬁrmly
established in three years of the
child’s life. After the sixth year the
child gets the idea of the deﬁnite
social demand on him if people are
to like him he must do certain
things.

How to Ask for a. Dance.—Peinaps, if
good manners approved of girls asking
men to dance, there woud be fewer “wall--
ﬂowers." But they do not, and the man
at a dance is the only, one supposed to
do the asking. Asking a. girl for a dance
or being presentedto her is simple pro-
cess. You say: “Do you care to dance
this?” or merely ”May I . . . .?” If the'
‘music has begun, and at once swing into
step 0n the girl’s nod or word of con-
sen . ‘ ' ' ‘

 

 

The Runner’s Bible

 

Be still and know that I am God. Is.
46:10.

Never make plans while you are dis-
turbed or troubled. (Ps. 62:5). First
“be still,” then know that nothing can
separate you from the love of God, and
know, too, that harmonious conditions—-
always surrounding you—have not been
manifesting themselves because of your '
state of mind. When there is truly in-
ward peace, guidance will come. 0 Lord,
I know that the way of man is not in
himself; it is not in man that walketh to
direct his steps. (Jer. 10:23). .‘

 

 

Recipes

 

 

Gold Layer CakcL—One cupful of but-
ter, two and a half cupfuls of sugar, and
the yolks of ten eggs well beaten to—
gether; four and a half cupfuls of ﬂour,
one cupful of cream, one teaspoonful of
baking powder. Flavor with lemon.
Bake in layers. Put the folowing icing
between: Three cupfuls sugar, the whites
of three eggs, one cupful of water; let '
it boil twenty minutes, and pour over the
.whites beaten to a stiff froth; beat con-'
stantly with .an egg-beater until cool.‘
Flavor with vanilla.

e

 

Barbecued Lamb.—-Scrub the‘ou’tside of a
forequarter'of lamb, removing all skin.
and fat. Cut it into several pieces so
that it can be handled readily. Put the
pieces into boiling water and simmer until
tender. Salt when nearly done."

When cooked, place the meat in a bak-
ing-pan or the bottom of a roaster.
Sprinkle well with ﬂour and toss over
the meat several cups of the water in
which it was boiled. Season with 'dry or
prepared mustard, plenty of Worcester—
shire sauce, tomato catsup, onion and
about one-half cup of good apple vinegar.
Brown' under the blaze if a. gas stove is
used, or in a hot oven with other stoves.
Turn and brown all sides of the meat,
basting often with the sauce, adding more
of the water if necessary. -

Remove some of the grease from the
water that was used for boiling the lamb
and add to this peeled diced‘carrots”
chopped onions and green peppers; boil
tender. When nearly done, add 'white
potatoes. _ ‘

When the meat is removed from the
pan, season the sauce and add a bit of
thickening. ’ .

Place the lamb in the center of the
platter and pile vegetafbles around, pour-
ing sauce over all. , ‘ .

This is for home preparation and con-.
sumption and is, of course, not the same
method used when meat is barbecued over
pits in the ground. It has the ﬂavor,
though, and is delicious as well as in-
expensive. ,

Mayonnaise Salad Dressing—1 teaspoon
mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pow-
dered sugar, few grains cayanne, yolks
of 2 eggs, 2 talblespoons lemon juice, 2
tablespoons vinegar, 11/2 cups oilve oil.

Mix dry ingredients, add egg' yolks
and when well mixed add one—half tea-
spoon of vinegar. Add oil gradually, at
ﬁrst drop by drop and stir constantly.
As mixture thickens, thin with vinegar
or lemon juice. Add oil and vinegar, or
lemon juice alternately until all is used,
stirring or beating constantly. If oil is
added too rapidly, dressing will have a
curdled appearance. A smooth consistency
may be restored by taking yolk of an-
other egg,‘ and adding cur'dle‘d 'mixture
slowly to it. It is desirable to have a
bowl containing ’mixture. iplacedt~ in a
large bowl - of crushed icegi to 3which a.
small .quantity ofgwuer has been added.

Wheres boys and girls quite often luck;

You oﬂten see boys. ﬂying kites,

The farmers coming from the ﬁelds.

Dear Uncle chp—I thought I would
write to you this nice; mix: day. How
are you? 1' am feeling. ﬁne I think I
will go horsebback riding this P. M. as
I haven’t for quite, a while, and: it, bubs.
my favorite sport I think I’d ought to.
go horse-aback riding more often; than: I
do. Butwhen I go to Wham] in the
winter I have to stay in town, I do not
get. a: chance tot.

Aren't you glad, Uncle Ned, dealt SM
is here' again? I am for I like spring
best of all seasons I think. The birds
coming back from the south, the: m
springing up after a. thunder slim in
the night. and going to the woods for
ﬂowers and they the pussy willows about
the ﬁrst signs oil spring. And then; maple
sugar ;, I think we all: like that.

I think that the» Club's: motto and colors
are good and. it the when m1 Dy
it, it will be a success.

In my other letter I let you guess my
age and birthday but there was not any
that guessed both correctly and int a.
few that guessed either my age: our my
birthday correct so I will tell you. I am
ll years old and my birthday is July
8th. Have I a twin if so I would Ike
to hear from: him: or her. I also went!
like. to linear tram sum of the boys and
Surpuodsenoo um 1 '93s Km prime W
with. several new and endoy rest-ding as:
well aBi the letters“ to them.

Well Uncle Ned I must close for this
time as the waste-basket I am: sure- will
have a good interview with this and if
this: should“ escape It I don’t want to
crowd‘ out some letters that. probably
would be more interesting than this so
will! close. my everlasting chatter. Your
loving Nectar—Ruth L. Brown, R. F1 13.,

Dear Uncle Ned:———I think. It would. be
nice to have con-tenth every month: and
givg prizes to the best. ten. You could”
send out pins the ﬁre this anyone got
a consent right and send prl'we's' setter
that. I think. it would be nice to have
some two colors on the pins and have
enaclb color stand; for some certain thing.
I also think it would be nice to suit a.
fund. With it. we could help some crip-
pled children. or something. I am- a boy
ten» years old, about; four and one but

Story of My Year’s Worb in Garden Club
By SYLVIA KILPONEN, W Go. .
(1924 State Club Champion),

HAVE had so many good times
since I? joined- the garden club.
I always waited for the club
meetings and wanted to learn so
many new things about gardening.
My garden. is 1404 square feet. I
took the best of care and tried to
weed it as often as it really needed
I planted the following
9 vegetables: corn, elemental-15‘
pumpkins, beets, carrots, peas.
beans, potatoes and onions. I liked
to work in the garden very well and
hardly did a day pass that ‘I .‘didn’t
remember? to visit my garden, weed
lit and cultivate: it. Then it looked
so nice several times I had to water
the Vegetables because the ram '11
wasn’t enough. .

days to come. I had planned to

the fair. The day soon- came and
sure- enough, I was there with my
Work tom To my joy I received
some prizes, and I made up my mind
than that: I would surely join the‘
dub again next year.

I heel a: Very nice time- at the fair
and enjoyed every day. I saw so
m nice things. there and" was
very glad to think that some 0% niy
things were among them too.

The frost had got my pumpkins,
corn and cucumbers badly and: I
couldn’t bring them to the: fair.
Next year I hope that _I may have a

' Is "alfalfa hay ‘érn'i’ful to Home
‘so, if fed to mare in foal?
feeding it regularly to one in foal.
Should I feed other hay or: straw
part of' the time?———H. S. Wellston,
Mich.

FTER a. year of experimental
A, feeding of alfalfa hay to horses,

as an exclusive roughage, we
feel certain that we can recommend
its use. We feedit three times daily
to one horse in each of our teams
and in practically every case the
horse receiving alfalfa kept in jugt
as good health, maintaining his
weight and did his work as efﬁcient—
ly as the horse receiving timothy hay
and oats. We fed the alfalfa with
ear corn as the grain ration. Our
brood mares are kept almost en-
tirely on alfalfa hay. We consider
it one of the most valuable feeds we
we can get hold of. However, many
horses relish a change and variety
in food and your horses will proba-
bly do as well if you give them tim-
othy hay or cats straw as a part
of the ration.—R. 'S. Hudsoﬁ, Farm
Superintendent, Michigan Agricul-
tural College.

 

PEA SILAGE FOR DAIRY COWS

Will you please give value of pea
silage for dairy cows and other
stock? What other feed would be
good to balance the ration?-—J. L.,
Caro, Mich.

EA silage contains 1.6 per cent
digestible protein and 15 per
cent total digestible nutrients.

Corn silage contains 1.1 per cent dig
gestible protein and 17.7 'per cent
total digestible nutrients. I would
consider a good pea vine silage
about equal to corn silage in feeding
value as it is a little higher in pro-
tein and a little lower in total diges-
tible nutrients. I assume you are
ﬁguring on refuse from pea canner—
ies as this is what mo’st pea vine sil-
age is made from. As to other feeds
that would be proper to feed with a
pea silage I would say that any ra-
tion that was fed with corn silage
would probably be fed with pea
vine silage—J. E. Burnett, Asso-
ciate Professor of Dairy Husbandry,

HARD TO llIILK

I have a cow that is hard to milk
in one teat only. The other three
are easy. This one is larger than
the rest but there is nothing wrong
with it only that it milks so hard.
I got a teat dilator but have never
used one before. I ﬁnd by insert-
ing the dilator that the opening
into the teat is very small and so
far have .been unable to use the
teat dilator the full length. It
hurts the cow and she starts to kick.
I have inserted it far enough so
the teat started to bleed a. little.
Then by the next time to milk came
a. little scab was formed over the
hole closing it up entirely. Is it
advisable'to use this dilator? In-
serting it the full length which is
about one inch? Should I leave it
in the teat from one milking to an-
other until the teat is dilated
enough to stay, and will not bleed
any more, and is healed up from
forcing the dilator in. The hole
seems to be very small and also
forms a spray when milking—A. J.,
Burr Oak, Mich.

OME authorities recommend the
use of teat dilators for this
trouble. They are sterilized

thoroughly by boiling and inserted
into the teat and kept in place by
winding some adhesive tape over
the end of the teat. The dilator is
only removed at milking time. I
think a much better treatment is to
slit the sphincter muscle in the end
of the teat with a teat slitter.
This will cause the teat to immedi-
ately milk easy and no after treat-
ment is required. The operation
should be performed by a qualiﬁed
veterinarian as it is important to
out only the sphincter muscle. If
too large a slit is made in the'end
of the teat, it will very often cause
the teat to .leak. continuously.—

of Surgery. and Medicine, Michigan

more or less automatic and a lot
of other things get to going over
Anyway.

worked out while I was doing
something else.-~- And I suppose a
whole lot more than weren't so

- bright.

And I been thinking while the
horses lugged along, about how
queer politicians are. It was in
the papers about this here man War-
ren wich Pres. Coolige wanted to
be the head lawyer for the U. S.
g.ovt Of course, I hadn’t never
heard of him before and dont know
any about him exept what the pa—
pers printed, but the more I mulled
it over the funnier it got. Now if
I was hiring a lawyer to boss the
lawing for 110 million people I
would aim to get a real good lawyer,
and it looks as if Cal wanted to hire
that kind too. Now when a big cor—
poration hires a lawyer they don’t
pick out some dub that has been
petering along all his life threaten-
ing to sue somebody so they will
pay up a bill for 10 or $15. You
bet these coperations hire a smart
fellow, and the riskier the deals
they get into the smarter he has to
be, which maybe is why the sugar
trust had been hiring this man War-
ren. So when Cal picked out War~
ren it looked like he was ﬁguring on
ﬁghting the devil with ﬁre.

But the Senate wich is full of
politicians seemed to have a differ-
ent idea. I always had a. sneaking
notion that politicians were mostly
chaps not quite good enough to be
real successful at some regular job
And so they have what the high—
brow professors call an inferortp
complex. And when Pres. wanted
Mr. Warren they knew down in
there hearts where they wouldn’t
admit it that he was out of their
class. So they bucked like he was
a burr under the belly band. Any—
way they got there way and was
spared the humilatlon of having a.
real ﬁrst-class man in Wash. D. 0.

Of course there may have been
more to it than that, but that is
the way it looked from what the
papers told.‘ Anyway it spoke well
for Warren that the Pres. wanted
him, and the Mich. politicians did—
n’t want him, wich spoke better.

And then I got to wondering
whether us farmers aint something
like the senate. After a hard tussle

we ﬁnally got organized into a farm

burro or a grunge or something.
We get up against a real hard job
with a lot of ticklish work in it and
we ought to have the smartest man
we can find to do it. Then just
when we are ready to hire that
kind of. a fellow a lot of folks rear
up on their hind legs and say he
won’t do because he did some clever
work for somebody else before we
got after him. And they kick up
such a rumpus that it works like a
ﬁlly buster in the senate and the
smart man we needed goes on
working against us instead of for
us.

If we had the same crazy notions

about our every-day farming we

would be afraid to hire a man who
had done extra good work for a
neighbor last year for fear it he
come to work for us he might put
poisen in the swill or jab a pitch
fork into a horses eye. Wich re-
minds me of a. follow from down
east telling about the town council
where he lived. He said that in-
dividually they were fine fellows
but collectively they were a bunch
of darn fools.

o THIN 1 mos
DITOR: I noticed in a recent is;

one was having trouble because
of getting thin shelled eggs.

A thin 0r soft shelled egg in a'
nest is always liable to start hens‘

eating eggs and that is a habit that
is hard to break.

For a number of years I tried
different things with little success.

'About twenty years ago some One

told me to keep dry wheat bran be—
fore my hens and the thin shells
would disappear.

I tried it and a thin or soft shell
is very rare in my poultry house—-
hardly twenty thin shells in_twenty
years. It is a very simple remedy
and one who has never tried it will
be surprisedat the amount of bran
the hens will consume. Be sure

that they” don’t run out of bran'

and always feed it dry. Wet bran
will cause bowel troubleand dry
bran will go a long ways to‘ward
curing it. —C. H. Snedecor, Lena—
wee County. 4

CHICKS DYING
I got forty-two chicks out of my

 

incubator two weeks ago and

bought one hundred more at the"
hatchery. For a few days they got
along all right then they had the di-
arrhea, that is some of them, and

I lost about eighteen. They seem'

to get smaller and lighter and have
no strength, stand around, and get
sleepy. I feed them some stale
bread soaked in water and squeezed
out again. I have them in a shed
under the brooder and have the
ﬂoor covered with sand and hay
chaff. They have pletny of water.
First I feed some sour milk.—~A.
H., Ann Arbor, Mich.

HE description of the symptoms
would justify the following
suggestions. First, a few of

the chicks should be examined to
ﬁnd whether or not bacillary white
diarrhea is present. The symptoms
given are not entirely diagnostic,
and if the disease is not bacillary
white diarrhea, some change might
be made in the feed—H. J. Stafseth,
Associate Professor in Bacteriology,
Michigan Agricultural College.

PREVENTING DISEASE IN YOUNG
TURKEYS

1. Never feed on the ground where
food may be left to ferment, sour or
mold.

2. Never overfeed, especially of
egg mash.

3. After the poults are two weeks
old, in good weather let the hens take
them. They do not need coddling,
but they do need protection from
weather, beasts of prey, etc.

4. Keep the poults and their coops‘
free from lice. Use insect powder to
dust them .

5. For'a tendency to bowel trou-
ble, feed boiled rice. Bowel trouble
indicates improper feeding or expos-
ure to dampness, cold, or both.

6. Do not permit poults to run
over ground which chickens, pigs,
ducks, geese, etc., have made ﬁlthy.
Plow up the ground or keep the
poults yarded away from it.

7. When the poults have been
chilled or seem droopy and need a
tonic, make it as follows: Boil a
pint of milk containing a shake of
red pepper, add a tablespoonful of
alcohol, then beat up a raw egg and
add to the mixture. Use this to moist—
en the bran mash. A little ﬁnely
chopped lean" meat may be added.

8. Use plenty of ﬁne-cut green
food in all rations as an aid to diges—
tion.

9? Be especially watchful of the
poults at about six weeks of age
when they “shoot the red”, that is,
begin to grow the protuberances on
the head and neck. The1e is danger
of the blood ﬂowing back upon the
heart and becoming stagnant; the
intestines then become cloged and
inﬂammation and diarrhea follow.
The following treatment will prove
helpful: Mix one tablespoonful of
red pepper and two tablespoonfuls of
wheat middlings with water and
make into four pills. Bake hard.
Give one-pill three times a day to a
full—gr‘oivn turkey, or a smaller pill
in proportion to the size of the fowl.
Follow with a tablespoonful of castor
oil for the old turkey or a teaspoon-
ful for a young poult.

Remarkable Experience, of Mrs. H ‘ ‘ 1.?—
C. M. Bradshaw in Prevent- ; ' ‘ ‘ .6}
ing White , Diarrhea ' F

 

 

The following letter will no doubt
be of utmost interest to poultry rais-
ers who have had serious losses from
White Diarrhea. We will let Mrs. B!
Bradshaw tell of her experience in‘
her own words: ,

“Gentlemen: I see reports of so
many losing their little chicks With
White Diarrhea, so thought I would
tell my experience. I used to lose a
great many from this cause, tried
many remedies and was about dis—
couraged. As a last resort I sent to sue
the Walker Remedy '00., Dept 687,

Waterloo, Iowa, for their Walko
White Diarrhea remedy- I wed two
500 packages, raised 300 White Wy—
andottes and never lost one or had
one sick after giving the medicine
and my chickens are larger and *
healthier than ever before. I have Re

:found this company thoroughly reli-

able.and always get the remedy by .
return mail. —Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw. ""
Beaconsﬁeld, Iowa. " ' "

 

White Diarrhea is caused by the Bao-
illus Bacterium Pullorum. This germ is
transmitted to the baby chick through the
yolk of the newly hatched egg Readers
are warned to beware of White Diarrhea.
Don’ t wait until it kills half your chicks.
Take the "stitch in time that saves nine. "
Remember, there is scarcely a. hatch with—
out some infected chicks. Don’ t let these
few infect your entire ﬂock. Prevent it.
Give Walko in all drinking water for the:
ﬁrst two weeks and you won’t lose one
chick where you lost hundreds before.
These letters prove it:

Never Lost a Single Chick

Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek, Ind.,

 

writes: “I have lost my share of chicks -- on

from White Diarrhea. Finally I sent for we

two packages of Walko. I raised over P‘

500 chicks and I never lost a single chick 3",
from White Diarrhea. Walko not only

prevents White Diarrhea, but it gives the an“

chicks strength and vigor: they develop in

quicker and feather earlier. " a"

dozens with White Diarrhea. I tried dif— --
ferent remedies and was about discour—

aged with the chick business. Finally, I

sent to the Walker Remedy Co., Waterloo,

Iowa, for a, box of their Walko White

Diarrhea. Remedy. It’s just the only thing-1

for this terrible disease. ~We raised 700

thrifty, healthy chicks and never lost a

can make such a. statement about.
We were told that there were com-
paratively few wealthy people in
Denmark, but many told us emphat-
ically that there is positively no poor
man or woman in this city of 600,000
It is no wonder that Copen-
hagen is the mecca of all the Danes
as it is. The city of Copenhagen is
the tail that wags the dog-and the
dog seems perfectly willing to be
wagged by such a ﬁne city.

In the custody of some represent-
atives of the Danish Department of
Agriculture, we set out early on our
ﬁrst morning in Denmark to see'
something of the rural districts. The
thatch roofed cottages and efﬁcient
gardens scattered over the hills and
farms make the Island of ~See1and a
place of wondrous beauty; and mark
it at once as a land entirely capable
of justifying the world reputation of
Denmark as one of thevworld’s lead-
ers in agriculture.

The farm of Mr. Worm, near Co-
penhagen, is typical of the older and
better farms in that vicinity. It con—
tains about 260 acres and is worth
about $250 per acre. On that farm
alone sixteen men are kept busy the
year around. Wages for unmarried
men were about $1.00 a day plus the
use of a cottage and space for a small
garden. A number of farm appren—
tices were also kept on that farm of
Mr. Worm. These young men are
carefully supervised in their day by
day work in practical farming and
are paid only barely enough to live
on.

The picturesque cobbled courtyard
ﬂanked by ‘the thatch roofed barn,
with a stork’s nest adorning the
gable’s peak, the barns as clean as
a house itself and the whole scene
buzzing with activity demonstrated
that thing which is called the charm
of Denmark.

Something of Denmark’s agricul-
ture and especially her cooperation
in marketing will be discussed in the
next installment.

 

THE FRUITFUL LIFE

(Continued from Page 11)
we are made to feel a new power
and are conscious of new energies.
Then follow long suffering, kind~
ness, goodness” toward men. Do
we need such broad shoulders on
which to carry the burdens of
others? Love is to suffer long; is to
have the touch of kindness, and the
honest open face of goodness.

And now follow “faithfulness” to
the inner demands of the Spirit;
“meekness” in bearing the easy
yoke of Christ; and “self-control”
1n every relationship of life.

These, then, are the fruits that
are to grow on the tree of life.
“The wind bloweth where it listeth
and thou heareth the sound there-
of, but cannot tell whence it com-
eth or whither it goeth; so is every
one that is born of the Spirit.” We
do not understand the hidden sourCe
of the .Spirit’s productive energy.
But, “By their fruits ye shall know
them.” We can understand this.
And our text is addressed to our un—
derstaifding and faith. If you have
these fruits on your tree, you have
the glorious certainty of a life at-

 

tractive and abundant. “AgaiﬂSt
such there is no law.” '

she ll cover it with some kind of vegata-

Demand Oil As Hogs Touch High Pomt

Expert: Believes Cattle Prices HaoeReached Bottom and -
- Looks For Higher Prices in Near Future ‘
n, w. w. room. Market Editor. ‘

OR many weeks there has been
F large speculation. in grain,
led by wheat, on the Chicago
Beard of Trade, and ruling prices
covered and still cover an unusually
wide range. The early remarkable
boom sent the price or wheat up to
around $2.06 196? bushel, and the
talk was that it was going to sell
later at $2.50, but it did not do
that, as heavy selling and a. smaller
legitimate and speculative demand
intervened and sent the price down
to around $2.40. The moderate re-
actions tool: place which sent Hay
wheat up to $1.52, that price com-
paring very favorable with other
years, although owners were dis-
appointed. Just what the future
will bring forth is naturally a dis—
puted matter, but supply and de-
mand must settle the question, and
just now many bread-eaters in im-
porting countries are eating less
flour breads and substituting other
foods, Germans, for instance, sub-
stituting potatoes. All the cereals
have had great falls from the high
time of the season. May corn sells
around $1.06, May'oats at 41%
cents, and May rye at $1.10, with
oats lower than a year ago, owing
to the large visible supply. The
crop situation in wheat is certainly
bullish, the April g0vernment re-
port indicating a crop of only 474,—
000,000 bushels of winter wheat,
comparing with last year’s harvest
of about 590,000,000 bushels.
Farmers last fall put in 6.5 per cent
more wheat than in the autumn of.
1923, and much wheat was winter
killed, the latter result being that
large areas of land were turned
ever to oats. The Department of

"Agriculture reported the April con-

dition of wheat at 68.7, the lowest
for that month except in 1917. De-
ﬁciency of moisture was the cause
oi? the poor crop showing. Corn
and rye have shared in the wheat
rally. Plenty of grain is in sight.
and the oats visible is up to 58,—
107,000 bushels, comparing with
22,319,000 bushels a year ago.
Hogs Bring High Prices
Farmers bringing hogs to the Chi-
cago market have shown some dis—
appointment in a number of in—
stances recently because prices were
some lower than a week earlier, but
they stood far higher than in most
former years. The far greater part

. of the swine came to market un—

, $12.80,

usually early, owners being appre-
hensive of. much lower prices, and
this resulted in big tails in values.
Then things changed, and meager
market supplies brought arOund
greatly advanced prices. But in
the meanwhile all decriptions of
fresh and,cured hog products had
gone so high that their consumption
was curtailed and it is therefore
diﬂlcult to put hogs much higher.
Recently the top for hogs in the
Chicago market stood at $13.10,
while a year ago hogs sold at $6.60
and the best light bacon lots are
both market toppers. For the year
to late date combined receipts in
seven leading western packing
points amount to 9,439,000 hogs,
comparing with 10,949,000 a year
ago. In the Chicago market east—
ern packers buy a large share of
the best light hogs. Recent receipts
averaged in weight 230 pounds,
equaling the heaviest in ﬁve months,
but nine pounds below the ﬁve year
average. Notwithstanding tar smali~
er receipts of hogs last week than
one and two years ago, prices de~
clined and closed at $10.75 to
top being 45 cents lower
than a week earlier.
Fewer Cattle Feeding

The number of cattle on feed for
market April 1 in the corn belt
states was 88 per cent of the num-
ber on feed at the same date last
year, according to the estimate or
the United States department of as-
Monitor's. The." decrease from last
yeasts about the some for the two

 

groups 01- states, those east and west
of the Mississippi.

The estimate by states is as tol-
lows: Ohio, 80 .per cent; Indiana.
80; Illinois, 80; «Michigan. 95; Wis-
consin,_ 100; Minnesota, 85; it!»
souri, 80; Iowa, 85; south Dakota.
8-0; Nebraska, 80; Kansas, 100.

To the extent that marketing 01
all cattle indicate the number of
cattle grain ted tor market. the so-
timate of Dec. 1. 1924, of only as
per cent as many on tad as on
Dec. 1, 1928, seems to have been
to low. Harketings of all cattle
from the corn belt states from Dec.
1, 1924, to April 1, 1925, were
about 94 per cent of the number
tor the some period of the previous
year. The receipts oi well-ﬁnished
steers at Chicago during this period
ending April 1, 1925, were the larg—
est in five years and the average
weight was the highest.

This situation may be explained
as indicating an earlier. ﬁnishing
and marketing of cattle than are
usually marketed in May and June
and consequent smaller supplies lat-
er, or that many feeders, anticipat-
ing a. shortage of heavy cattle the
past winter because of the corn sit-
uation, planned their feeding oper—
ations to proﬁt irom this shortage.
which as a result, did not develop.

The shipments of stacker and
feeder cattle into the grain belt
states the ﬁrst three months of 1925
were only about '90 per cent of the
shipments for the same period in
1924 and 80 per cent of those in
1923.

The Cattle Outlook

Shrinkage of a million head of
cattle a year in America’s herds, as
disclosed by government figures, un—
derstates the actual drop in the sup-
ply, it is indicated by Commissioner
Robert A. Cooper, head oi? the fed-
eral iarm loan board, in an article
in the current American Bankers’
Association Journal. At the request
of President Coolidge, Commissioner
Cooper recently ade an extended
tour of inspection of the western
live stock states. He reports that
liquidation has run its full course in
this industry, which is now ﬁnanciall—
ly on the upgrade. declaring that
war-time overproduction has been
followed by decreased herds in every
state west of the Mississippi river.
"Cattle, undoubtedly, have struck

bottom: authentication has as its"

course," commissioner Cooper says.
“Constructive upward! tendencies are
much in evidence. The overproducs
tics, which was a war legacy, round
a counterpartin the past few years
in decreased herds in every state in
the cattle sections west of the Miss-
issippi river. ' ‘ ‘ '

There is a marked dinercnce, of
opinion regarding the country’s cat-
tie supply,’and it is claimed in some
quarters that there is no actual
shortage, nearly as many cattle hav-
ing been marketed this year to date
as a year ago. As has been the case

,with hogs and lambs, there have

been much wider ﬂuctuations than
usual in cattle prices, with killers
showing a. marked preference for
well ﬁnished yearlings and paying
a liberal premium to get them, the
heavy steers! going at quite a dis-
count. Cattle prices look high when
it is recalled that three years ago
beet steers were selling “$9.25 to
$9.25 for commOn to, prime olero
ings. Recent declines in prices for
stockers and feeders made country
buyers more ready to make purchas—
es, some rare bargains being secured
in the Chicago market. The demand
for milkers and springers shows de—
cided improvement, with the better
grades of forward springers getting
the most call. Some of the best
heavy Holstein springers brought
$90 to $100, but the bulk of the of-
ferings sold for $65 to $80 and cOm-
mon backward springers are salable
down to $50. Beet steers have been
selling at $8 to $9 for the cheaper
class of light weights, inferior little
steers having a limited sale at $6.50
to $7.95, while the choicer lots of
yearling steers brought $10.50 to
$11.75. The bulk of the steers sold
at $9.40 to $11.50, the best heavy
cattle going at $10.25 to $11.25, and
no good steers selling below $9.50.
Butcher cows and heifers sold for
$4.25. to $11.50, calmer and cutter
cows at $2.50 to $4.20, bulls at
$4 to $7.75, and calves at $5 to
$11.50. A year ago beet steers sold
at $7.25 to $12.60. Stockers and
feeders have a moderate sale at $5
to $8, a few going up to $8.60.

“’HEAT

To follow the Detroit wheat mar-
ket during the past fortnight made
one’s head whirl. When conditions
in thel'market favored higher prices
there would be a decline and when a
bearish feeling prevailed the price
went up. It is reported that a group
of eastern dealers are in favor of
lower prices and the rapid ﬂuctuation
was caused by their work in the mar-
ket. Foreigners are not taking

meter will be ialling low and storms
of rain, wind. hail and thunder
will be in action. About Tuesday
there is expected to be a, change .to f

during the early part of this week

in many sections of Michigan.

During the middle part of this"
week, however there will be an ab-

sence of general storminess and
there will follow several days of sun-
shine and pleasant weather.

Toward the end of the week, say
about Friday, storm clouds will
again appear on the horizon and
threatening weather will then rule
for the balance of the week.

May Temperatures to be Low

Farm Operations will be hinder-
ed more or loss during May as a re-
sult of- the low temperatures and
cloudy days that are expected to pre-
dominate. These conditions may be
more or less favorable to spring
growing crops but newly planted
seed will germinate very slowly.
While we are expecting the month
wil average cool it is our belief it
will average opal it is our belief it
