Rural EduCati0n, safety and Health Promoted

Legislature Passed Bills to Aid Poor School Districts and Prevent Crossing Accidents

HAVE always admired the senti-
ment of that grand old farmers’

- organization, the Grange, which
led it to adopt the slogan, ”The
farmer is of more importantce than
the farm and should be ﬁrst improv-
ed.” And so in this second install-
ment of the summary of the -more
important legislation enacted at the
1925 session, I feel that it is alto-

gether ﬁtting and proper to defer
‘consideration of bills regarding rou-

tine appropriations, conservation of
wild life, taxation, agricultural bills
and other general and miscellaneous
matters, and to focus our attention
upon the legislation enacted which
directly relates to the public health
and welfare. And since the readers
of T1111: BUSINESS Farm are mostly
interested in rural life, I have se-
lected only those public welfare bills
which will be of the greatest concern
to farm people.“

It is a quite generally accepted
fact that the foundation of all hu~
man welfare and happiness is the
popular education of the youth of
the land. Our nation was establish-
ed and has been maintained on the
principle that all men were created
equal and have the same inalien-
able rights to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.

Educational Injustice

This statement implies that all
children should have an equality of
educational opportunity if they are
to have the same chance, in the
world, but” any well informed in-
dividual realizes that such ideal con-
ditions have not prevailed in Michi-
gan. Cities and populous centers
have had their expensive schools,
schools, well equipped and provided
with the best of teachers. More—
over the wealth of these communi-
ties has' been such that all of

‘ these advantages could be supplied

without any excessively high school
tax rate. However, the more sparse-

; 1y settled districts have presented

A feeders attended the annual
live stock feeders day held at

the Michigan State College at East

Saturday, May 23.

At 10:30 the visitors started on a

; tour of the College Farm, stopping

ﬁrst at the College Piggery» where
the eXperiments under way at pres-
ent were discussed. Five lots of

. pigs are being used to determine the

1value of cooked cull beans as a

protein supplement to corn as com-
pared with tankage and also the
extent to which cull beans may be
used when low in price as they have
been this year. Results to date
show that as much as one-half cook-
ed beans may be fed in connection
with shelled corn with good results.
Another ﬁve lots are being fed on
various combinations of rye and
oats. The gains of pigs fed on rye
have been rather slow; especially

when fed to pigs weighing under -

100 pounds. Pigs above this weight
seem to eat more heartily you the
rye rations and make very good
gains. From the piggery a trip was
made to the pastures, much interest

being taken in, the ten yearling Bel-
glan and Percheron colts on pasture .

and also the twelve brood mares

with spring coltsat their side. .

and antiquated school buildings
have been used, the equipment has
been meagre and the teachers often
the most inexperienced. Despite
all of these conditions and the fact
that the rural school session was in
many cases shorter than that in the
cities, the assessed valuation of the
property supporting the school was
often so low that excessively high
tax rates resulted.

Because of these conditions an
effort has been made for some time
past to secure a readjustment of
the manner of distributing the prim—
ary school interest fund. The large
state aid educational fund is derived
from the tax on public utilities, in—
surance companies and inheritances.
It has grown steadily year by year
until it now amounts to about $14
per school census population. How-
ever, it has been distributed among
the several schol districts entirely
upon the basis of the number of
children between ﬁve and twenﬂy
years of age, irrespective of the
valuation of the school district or
its need for such state aid.

In ther1923 session, the Meggison
or Escanaba plan of distributing the
primary school fund was defeated
in the Senate. However, the justice
of the contentions of t advocates
of this legislation was appreciated
by a large number of citizens. The
basic idea. was endorsed by both the
Michigan State Grange and the
Michigan State Farm Bureau.

To Aid Poorer Districts

In the 1925 session, Senator Bohn
introduced a considerably modiﬁed
bill on this subject. The measure
received strong support and passed
by a big majority. It provides that

,95 per cent of the fund shall be dis-

tributed as in the past, on the basis
of the school census population.
The remaining 5 per cent will be ap-

lngfarm work horses has been com-
pleted, one horse in each of nine
beams being fed corn, oats, and tim-
othy, and the other corn and a1-
falfa. The alfalfa fed horses made
an average of 21 pounds each dur-
ing the year, while the timothy fed
horses lost an average of 17 pounds
per head. The alfalfa fed horses
consumed an average of 12.23
pounds of corn and 17.91 pounds of
alfalfa while the timothy horses cou-
sumed more grain and hay, eating
8.02 pounds of corn and 6.23 pounds
of oats with 19.59 pounds of timo~
thy ~on the average per day. It
cost 310 per day for feed or 6c for
one hour of 'work with the alfalfa
horses, and 37c for feed or 7c for
an hour of work with the timothy
fed horses.

The results clearly indicate that
horses may be fed corn and alfalfa
during the hot summer months
when they are cultivating corn, har—
vesting hay and grain crops, and
that they will do their work as ef—
ﬁciently and maintain thei‘lz health
and vigor as .well as when fed a
more costly ration of corn, oats,
and timothy. During the entire
year only two horses were sick, one
in each lot.“ and in neither case did

. the type of ration seem to be the
eating or the attack of colic in one
case. or. impaction in the other.

 

. considerably

portioned among all school districts
which have an average school mem-
bership in excess of the average for
the whole state for each $100,000
of equalized valuation. The law
provides that this distribution shall
be made in such a. manner that the
amount apportioned to each such
school district for each school cen—
sus child shall be in direct propor—
tion to the number by which the
average school membership of the
district exceeds the average of the
whole state for each $100,000 of
equalized valuation. This bill is
safe-guarded by a provision which
states that no school district re-
ceiving an apportionment of this 5
per cent shall receive an amount
larger than that required to pay the
total cost of teachers’ wages plus
tuition paid to other school districts
within the state.
Seek to Curb Grade Tragedies

In complex modern society, sec-
ond only to the matter of education
come measures for protecting the
health and safety of the people.
In previous issues of THE Bosmnss
FARMER considerable space was giv-
en both in the news columns and
in editorials to the discussion of- the
Richardson bill which is aimed to
prevent automobile accidents at
grade crossings. In its ﬁnal form
this bill provides that the State
Administrative Board may deter-
mine What crossings are especially
dangerous and may designate them
as “stop” crossings. Section 4 of
this bill provides as follows:

“Every person driving, operating
or in control of any vehicle whether
motor, horse—drawn, or otherwise,
upon aproaching and immediately
before passing over the railroad, in-
terurban or suburban railway track
at that crossing that has been des—
ignated and posted or marked by

and a fourth lot on corn and alfalfa.

The three lots of ﬁnished baby
beef calves were next visited, and
the complete ﬁgures on each lot
presented. Ten heifer calves in
each lot were fed the same rations
as a similar lot of steer calves was
fed last year. Last year a greater
proﬁt was shown in the self-fed
grain .lot and the home grown ra—
tion lot than in lot two, which re-
ceived a limited ration of grain, as
compared with the self—fed lot, and
which received oilmeal in addition
to the home—grown rations of corn
silage, and alfalfa in lot three. The
calves in lots two and three were
valued 30c lower than the self‘fcd
lot last year, while this year the ﬁrst
two lots were valued the same, and
the third lct 50c lower. Last year
the cheaper corn and the higher
roughage was to the advantage of
the self—fed lot, While this year the
high corn and cheaper roughage
was to theil disadvantage. An aver-
age of the two years results shows
the rations in lot 2, of a medium
heavy feed of corn, linseed oilmeal,
corn, silage, and alfalfa to have
given the best results by producing
cheaper gains than
the self-fed lot and only slightly
more expensive than those in the
third lot, and selling for only“, 26c
per cwt. below lot 1, and 25 cents
higher than let 3.

the State Administrative Board as
a “stop” crossing, shall bring such
vehicle to a full stop and shall lis-
ten and look in both directions for
approaching locomotives, cars or
trains.”

Any violation of this law will be
a misdemeanor punishable by a ﬁne
of from $10 to $100 or imprison-
ment in the discretion of the court.
It is understood that the State Ad—
ministrative Board has determined
that for the present they will make
this law applicable only to state
trunk line grade crossings.

Not only did the legislature seek 1

to decrease the number of railway
crossing accidents, but it also
sought to prevent the large number
of equally sad tragedies which oc-
cur to men and women who embark
on the matrmonial venture together.
There seemed to be a wide-spread
belief among the lawmakers that a
large proportion of the alarming in-
crease in divorces was caused from
hastily considered and ill—advised
marriages, especially of people of
tender years and those taking this
important step in a spirit of adven-
ture.
Cradle Bobbing Hampered

Of the many bills presented, two
were ﬁnally enacted. Senator Con~
don's bill was aimed particularly at
the marriage of minors. It provides
in part, that “Whenever it shall ap-
pear to the county clerk that either
or both of the contracting parties
desiring such marriage license are
not at least 18 years of age, he shall
before the issuance of such license
obtain from the applicant a duly
certiﬁed birth certiﬁcate of the party
or parties setting forth the date of
birth of such party or parties, or in
lieu thereof, a duly authenticated
afﬁdavit of the father, mother, legal
guardian or person in loco parentis
of the party or parties, setting forth
the age of the party or parties. It

1 Farmers Study Results of FeedingExperiments At MiChigan State College

Experiment .Station, gave an inter-.

esting summary of the one hundred
and eighty Exepriment Station pro—
jects which are under way at the
present time. These experiments
cover all phases of agriculture. In
the near future several problems
having for their object the better—
ment of rural social conditions will
be undertaken. Dean Shaw stated
that the problem of abortion in farm
livestock would be solved by experi—
ment station workers who are mak-
ing rapid progress on this problem.

Professor J. T. Horner discussed
the ways in which the farmer can
study market statistics and their re—
lation to price ﬂuctuations. In mak—
ing an analysis of any business of
production for any market there are
two problems found, one of produc—
tion and one of marketing. Very
often one of the important ques-
tions pertaining to marketing,
namely, that of. obtaining the top
price, reverts back to the question
of production or in other words
producing an article that is in de-
mand on the market.

The discussion among the feeders
present was very lively and indicat-
ed an increasing interest in live
stock feeding in the state. The
majority of those present seemed
especially interested in the feeding
of young cattle and baby beef pro-
A very optimistic attitude
was shown by those present. A
great majority of them having faith
in the future of livestock feeding
and were hopeful of better prices.

great majority of those engag-
\ ed in the bean trade is unques-
gltioned. The proof of this is not
- 'only a knowledge of the character
, . of these men but the. incidental facts
. are that the cooperative elevators
and agencies of selling owned and
operated by the farmers themselves
have followed the same general laws
'of handling beans as those private-
ly owned. The average elevator-
operator would like to see a higher
vzprice level and stabilized prices.
There‘is a minimum of speculative
bean handling as compared to ten
or ﬁfteen years ago. “The tendency
is towards “merchandising” as the
term is used to describe the quick
overturns or ﬁlling orders. A car
of beans run into a considerable
5 sum of money and a few ears in
process of preparation for the mar-
ket soon reaches the limit of cap-
ital and credit of the smaller con-
cerns and almost feverish haste is
necessary to get a bill of lading for
the sight draft to be ready to meet
the bank credit required for the
next day’s needs. Many elevators
have worked nights to have a car
’for the bill of lading the ﬁrst thing
‘in the morning. Beans are not a
quick asset like wheat for example,
as the period of preparation is in a
sense a manufacturing one that does
not attach to wheat which can be
spouted into the car at once.
One weakness of the coopera-
'?tive elevator is on the side of limited
capital for operating and the mana—
ger’s position does not permit of us—
ing [private credit as is possible
‘with the old line elevator owner.
The whole trend of the bean handl-
2ing business has been toward “mer-
chandising” and little of no provis—
' fion made for storage or'reservoiring
the crop. The reasons given for
jthiB condition are ascribed to the
Molt occasioned by the drop in prices.
‘ after the war, and the limited cap-
» 'ital of cooperative concerns which
l-fcompels immediate sales. When the
'bean threshing becomes general,
and this varies with the season and
ithe weather, the elevators are ﬁlled
:at a rapid rate. Trucks carry beans
from the machine to the elevator
”and often follow the thresher from
:farm to farm, so that there is a
stream of beans pouring in to the
elevators
pacity to prepare for market. Beans
are offered to the wholesale trade
‘.from many diﬁerent sources all
anxious to sell and prices break.

the market at a later period and‘be-'
came a buyer rather than a seller.

With all of our advantages of pro-
ducing two thirds of‘the white pea.
bean crop of the U. S. in a compact
territory of from twenty to twenty—
ﬁve counties and the crop being rea—
sonably normal in acreage and susé
ceptible of cheap storage there has
been small improvement in market-
ing conditions within the last dec-
ade, but rather the reverse owing to
the change from a speculative to
merchandising market. I know
quite well the odium that attaches
to the word speculator and in using
this term want to point'out that the
various selling agencies of Michigan
beans relinquished a power in price
making that should be restored, not
to them alone, but should be shared
with the bean grower. Every seller
competes one against the other to
get beans off his hands almost re-
gardless of price and the loss is
borne by the grower. Each item
that enter into bean marketing is
cumulative against an adequate
price. There is no agency to sus~
tain against every factor working to
lower the price. Can such an
agency be constructed or built up
is a question well worthy of thought.

There is a legal maxim which
should be carried over into the
business world, viz: There is
no wrong .but what a legal remedy
can be found. The following pro-
posal, tentative and subject to the
suggestions and changes which ex-
perienced minds may add is in out-
line as follows:

1. A single Michigan Bean Grow-
ers’ Association with a , director
from major bean growing county,
with a smaller executive committee,
selected from this body. “

2. That selling agencies now han—
dling the bean trade in this state
select from their membership a sim-
ilar committee to work jointly on a
program substantially as follows:

(A) This joint committee to meet
at a time the crop conditions are
reasonably well known and arrive
at an ofﬁcial estimate of the crop in
prospect.

(B) Call in to advise some of the
public spirited men of the state to
sit in and discuss general price lev-

their recent enemies—and conquer-
ors. .
In England, there was no hostil-
ity or actual unfriendlinessi'toward
us of course, but there was no ad—
miration for us either. For in-
stance, they couldn’t admire the way

 

'els, supply and demand, and reach
an agreement on the opening price.

Previous to this meeting W'ashing-.

ton and East Lansing should con-
duct a cost of production inquiry.

(C) Establish the morale of sup—
port among elveators and growers
that this opening price together
withadvancing prices if warranted
be maintained in somewhat the fol-
lowing manner. ‘The joint commit-
tee to , establish’ratios of storage
from time to time as the market re-
quired, say from 10 to 20 per cent.
For example, for every hundred»
pounds of clean beans, 10 or 20
pounds be stored and certiﬁcates
issued to the owner with the title
and control vested in the joint com-
mittee. These storage certiﬁcates
might be made negotiable. When
prices started to sag from over-of-
ferings, increase the storage per-
centage with. a view to retard the
storage stock (from time to time as
the market would- warrant. Or if
the crop was excessive, carry over
and advise acreage reduction for the
following season. 7 This leads up to
some possibility of- crop control
through price control.

(D) At the end of certain periods
disburse the storage fund sale in
the usual pooling manner to cer-
tiﬁcate holders. In this very brief
outline details are omitted as these
naturally develop - themselves in
practice.

Advance Marketing Control

Market experts in discussing this
plan agree that the Michigan bean
situation offers almost ideal condi-
tions of advanced marketing con-
trol.

There is always the question
of acquiescence of those interested.
Would the elevators enforce the stor-
age ratio or seek an advantage over
a competitor by paying for the'full
100 per centtoffered for sale? Would
the individual seller want to close
up his transaction and avoid his
participation in price maintenance?

The logic back of elevator’s aid is
business ‘solidarity and in addition
a. condition of marketing closely al—
lied to the “Hedge” in grain handl—
ing. The storage fund which might
amount to a million dollars or more
at one time might be used to

strengthen the market at weak
paints. On the part of the farmer it

looks possible to add one cent a

pound at least to his bean crop. The
relation between grower and deal-er
would " become closer and cordial.
eaCh interested in ~ price mainten-
ance. The objections .of a legal na-
ture have all‘b'een assumed in Judge
White's decision in the U. S. Su-
preme Court applying the “rule of
reason". .

Would a compensatory price for
beans, based on the public ﬁndings
of production cost be an attempt
to monopolize and viciously ad-
vance prices or merely self-pro—
tection to the bean industry, would
be the question. In the Detroit
milk cases almost a similar situation
was decided by the U. S. Supreme
Court in’ favor of the milk produc-
ers and handlers who engaged for-
mer Judge Chas. E. Hughes as
c0unsel.y ,

- The writer of these suggestions
for bean marketing originally sub-
mitted the framework of the pres—
ent Milk Producers' Organization.
These were largely derived at
that. time from the advices of the
then Food Controller Herbert S.
Hoover. The ideas of Mr. Hoover

,were, ﬁnd the aproximate costs and

deal fairly with yourself .and the
consumer. When as State Market
Director, these plans were proposed
and features from other minds add-
ed a workable plan for handling
milk resulted. Today the Michigan
Milk Producers' Assn. is the out-
standing organization of this state
in aiding dairymen to secure com-
pensatory prices. While bean mar-'
keting is in some ways not compar—
able to milk, I think there is less
of hazzard in the plan proposed and
less objections than were urged at
tlae time the milk plan was advanc-
e .

In conclusion it may be said it
is generally admitted that the bean
marketing is not satisfactory. The

physical equipment is well adapted '

to handle the crop and would all

be used. No one is to be industri-
ally disturbed. There are no legal
difﬁculties in the way. There is

genius and capacity among produc-
ers and dealers to work out a satis—
factory program. There are ample
bonded Warehouses and the U. S.
credit banks will ﬁnance storage
stocks. The milk producers had
no precedents to follow . The Mich-
igan bean growers have an object
lesson among the Michigan dairy—
men of how to get together and
maintain fair prices for their pro.
duct. The gain to the grower looks
like around four million dollars an—
nually and is worth trying for.

HAS THE FARM BOY A CHANGE
IN OTHER. OCCUPATIONS? \
EAR EDITOR: From my own

experience, I might say that in

most instances the farm boy’s
chance in some other vocation is
very slim owing to the tailure on
his father’s part in perceiving of
what his boy is ﬁtted for by nature
and talent in some other occupation
than that of farming.

Perhaps these _ words are rather
plain, but it is from the bitter ex-
perience of my own heart for be-
ing denied, that I speak thus. Nor
am I alone in these assertions. as
more than once I have read of
just such instances as these. Many
farmer fathers have an idea that
the farm is the place for the boy.

old chioks and that we were to op-
crate a hard coal brooder for the
ﬁrst time. We
went to the

the broader, and
of course had to
install it our-
selves. For some
r e a s o 11 there
were no, direc—
tions with it, but
we set it up and

tour or ﬁve days
before the chicks
arrived, and
what” a~time we
had! We had never seen a hard
coal brooder in use, and while we
did the best we knew (which isn’t
saying‘ much) we could not make
the stove hold ﬁre over night. A
telephone call to the hatchery soon
brought an experienced man to our
rescue. His ﬁrst question was,
“How full do you ﬁll the stove for
the night?” When told we ﬁlled it
about half full, he said that was the
cause of the ﬁre going out, and that
the stove should be entirely ﬁlled
with coal after the ashes had been
shaken down at six o’clock morning
and evening. And he was right.
He brought the chicks the second
day after he was here and they are
new nearly six weeks old, and the
ﬁre has not gone out during that
time.‘ We have strictly followed a
schedule of feeding and care for the
chicks and have lost only two per
cent thus far. These losses were
from accident and not of disease.
Thus far our brooder stove experi—
ence is most satisfactory. We are
not beginners in the poultry busi-
ness, but have always done the
brooding with hens.

Today we stole an hour from the
plowing and made a place to con—
ﬁne broody hens. We had a hog
cote eight by ten feet in size, four
feet high in rear, and ﬁve in front.
In the front is a long door which,
when open, leaves the entire top
half of the front of the cote open.
We took some pickets and made a.
slatted ﬂoor (in sections) which we
placed in the cote about even with
the lower edge of this front door.
A slatted door was then made to
1ep1ace the regular one, and it sure
will be a very airy place for those
broody hens. .

Trace Springs ,
Several years ago, while in a: city
I visited one of the ﬁre departments.
This was before the horses had been
displaced with motors and I noticed
a coil spring was attached to the

started the lire,'

shoulders when the engines or
trucks went over cross walks, track‘s,
etc.

By what he said I concluded these
springs would be a good thing on a
farm harness. We only had two
horses at that time and we secured
four springs, two sets, at once. and
so well pleased have we been with
them that every time a horse has
been added to our farm we get a
set of springs at once. This year,
we added the ﬁfth horse and the
ﬁfth set of springs. We are positive
these springs give a great cushion to
all jars and abrupt stops, as well as
easing the starting of a heavy load.

I might add, we .have never had
a sore on 11 horses' shoulder since
we have used these ,springs. Of
course we are very particular about
collars ﬁtting the horses properly.
If one had a stony farm, these trace
springs would be a great blessing
to the horses 'and would prolong the
life of harness and tools. These
springs are used on all our imple-
ments, even the one horse cultiva-
tors. When in draft one can notice
a slight working of their give and

Ohio Truckers

A potato buyer from Ohio with
a couple large six or seven ton motor
trucks, has been in this section the
past day or two, picking up the last
of the famous 1924 potato crop.
There was no great quantity in any
one place, but those who did have
any were quite ready to sell at twen-
tyuﬁve cents per bushel. One man
who sold a truck load at twenty-ﬁve
cents per bushel. remarked, “Itwas
a cross betwen giving them away
and selling them.”

There does not seem to be many

farmers in this section who have

started to raise potatoes as a special
crop in the last ten years. Not
more than one or two, I think. But
so many farmers are planting from
one to four acres, just as a side
line, and their total yield is Quite.
astonishing. What is true in this
vicinity is no doubt true in many
other places. This may be one
cause of the great overproduction in
spuds these last three or four years.
Some say they expect to reduce their
acreage this year, but many of these
will no doubt change their minds,
and plant as many as usual.

In this section the early crop will
be late this year. We are having
very cold, dry weather, and if it
continues much longer old potatoes
may yet be worth more than a quar~
ter. Of course many new potatoes
are being shipped in now, and the

But in the early farmed sections

I of the New England states, specially

on the lighter soils, there has been
a gradual dropping off in growth,.

. until it has practically become a
Vrecollection in some sections. ’In

the last 30 years, there has been a
dropping on” of the clover acreage
all through the United States until
it has become a nightmare to agrie
culture.

Where normally theratio of clo-
ver to farmed land should be 1 to
4 it has dropped to as low a'ratio
as 1 acre of clover to 20 to 30 of
farmed land and this is the big
reason" for so much abandoned
farm land throughout these sections,
of U. S. This condition is a very bad
one and no steps have been taken
to remedy this until about 10 or 15
years ago. when men than knew
viewed with alarm this serious situ-
ation and began to preach-soil con—
servation and looked for means to
correct the situation. In a large
measure they have been successful,

“‘ but it'costs something in thought,

time, and money to do it, and a
very bad angle of it is that a’farmer
usually must get down and out,
ﬁrst, and lose clover crop after clo—
ver crop before he will do anything.
By this time he is low on funds,
lost his pep, and thoroughly dis-
heartened, so is in a poor state of
affairs to begin doing anything.
But we ﬁnd these are the fellows
that have done the real job of get-
ting— clover to grow again. But
they didn’t ride in Cadillacs or

but were going, through the acid
test of a real farmer.

course, and learn by necessity that
something must be done, but as us-
ual puts it off with the same old
stock of reasons as are prevalent in
all sections, such as he did not
sow the seed in the Crab or some
other sign or else he sowed it
when the horns of the moon turned
up and it never got in the ground
or that if he would have dragged
it in with a water-beech tree, or

the see was cut when the moon was T

dry, or many other good and sufﬁ-
cient reasons. So he goes on, sea—
son after season, kidding himself
and getting further away from the
road to growing clover and as
usual he is going to show the cock—
eyed World that next year folks are
going to laugh up, their sleeves
when they see his barn full of hay,
but as a rule he never hears them
laugh. -
The fact of the ‘matter is that
the things that clover needs to grow
upon have been sold off the land
in crops, and there being just so

much in the land to begin with, .1-

there is less and less left in the soil
after each crop is taken off and the
farm at the present resembles a fair
sized bank acount, that has been
drawn upon regularly and at no
time has there been any deposits
made, until at the present time it
does not produce enough revenue
to meet the demand. Why did clo-
ver fail on so large an" area in the
U. S., and in such a short period of
time? Probably the ﬁrst vital fac—
their efforts to farm used up the
humus and failed to putback as
much as \they took out. Second,
the lime element has vanished 'in
nearly all the clover-sick soil.
Third, the phosphorus that was in
has been cropped, out."
This is the limiting factor in some

\ cases. And fourth, lack of nitro- 3

In years gone by clover could be
sown with-wheat, oats, or barley in
the spring—at nearly anytime in
the spring—and in corn and even
wheat in the fall, and nearly every
time a. good catch resulted, but in
recent years about the only method
on some soil a catch can not be ob-

times this way fails also.

To get clover to grow again on

CHAPTER X
A _Walk Beside the Lake

"THE name seems .like Sherrill,” the

when we had him on the table up-
stairs; and he has said it now,twice dis-
tinctly—Sherrill.”

“His name, do you think?” '

“I shouldn't say so; he seems trying
to speak to some one named Sherrill."

The nurse waiteda few minutes. .“Yes;
that’s how it seems to me, sir. He said
something that sounded like ‘Connie‘ a
while ago, and once he said ‘Jim.’ There
are only four Sherrill’s in the telephone
book, two of them in Evanston and one
way out in Minoota."

“The other?"

“They’re, only about six blocks from
where he was picked up; but they're on
the Drive—the Lawrence Sherrills."

The interne whistled softly and looked
more interestedly at his patient’s features.
He glanced at his watch, which showed
the hour' of the morning to be half-past
four. “You’d better make a note of it."
he said, “He’s not a Chicagoan: his
clothes were made somewhere in Kansas.
He'll be conscious some me during the
day; there’s only a sligh fracture, and——
Perhaps you'd better call the Sherrill
house, anyway. If he‘s not known there,
no harm done; and he‘s one of their
friends and he should . . ."

The nurse nodded and moved off. ‘

Thus it was that at a quarter to ﬁve
Constance Sherrill was awakened by the
knocking of one of the servants at her
father‘s door. Her father went down-
stairs to the telephone instrument where
he might reply without disturbing Mrs.
Sherrill. Constance, kimona over her
shoulders, stood at the top of the stairs
and waited. It became plain to her at
once that whatever had happened had
been to Alan Conrad.

“ch. . Yes. . . . You are giving
him every possible care? . . . At once.”

She ran part way down stairs and met
her father as he came up. He told her of
the situation briefly.

“He was attacked on the street late
last night; he was unconscious when they
found him and took him to the hospital,
and has been unconscious ever since.
They say it was an ordinary street attack
for roblbery. I shall go at once, of
course; but you can do nothing. He
would not know you if you came; and of
course he is in competent hands. No; no
one can say how seriously he is injured.”

She waited in the hall while her father
dressed, after calling the garage on the
house telephone for him and ordering the
motor. When he had gone, she returned
anxiously to her own rooms; he had prom-
ised to call her after reaching the hospital
and as soon as he had learned the par~
ticulars, of Alan’s condition. It was ridic-
ulous, of course, to attach any responsi-
bility to her father or herself for what
had happened to Alan—a street attack
such as might happen to any one—yet
she felt that they were in part responsible.
Alan Conrad had come to Chicago, not
by their direction, but by Benjamin Cor-
vet’s; but Uncle Benny being gone, they
had been the ones who met him, they had
received him into their own house; but
they had not thought to warn him of the
dangers of the city and, afterward, they
had let him go to live alone in the house
in Astor Street with no better adviser
than Wassaquam. Now, and perhaps be—
cause they had not warned him, he had
met injury and, it might be, more than
mere injury; he might be dying.

She walked anxiously up and down her
room, clutching hcr kimona about her; it
would be some time yet before she could
hear from' her father. She went to the
telephone on the stand beside her bed and
called Henry Spearman at his apartment.
His servant answered; and, after an in-
terval, Henry’s voice came to her. She
told him all that she knew of what had
occurred.

“Do you want me to go over to the
hospital 7" he asked at once.

“No; father has gone. There is noth—
ing anyone can do. I‘ll call you again
as soon as I hear from father.”

He seemed to appreciate from her tone
the anxiety she felt; for he set himself to
soothe and encourage her. She listened,
answered, and then hung up the receiver,
anxious not to interfere with the expected
call from her father. She moved about
the room again oppressed by the long
wait, until the ’phone rang, and she
sprang to it; it was her father calling
from the hospital. Alan had had a few
minutes’ consciousness, but Sherrill had
not been allowed to see him; now, by the
report of the nurse, Alan was sleeping,
and both nurse and internes . assured
Sherrill that, this being the case, there
was no reason for anxiety concerning
him;.but Sherrill would wait at the hos-
pital a~little longer to make sure, Cdn-

“All right," he said, when she had fin-
ished. ”I’m coming over, Connie.”

“Now?" .

“Yes; right away.”

“You must give me time to dress!"
His assumption of right to come to her
at this'early hour recalled to her forcibly
the closer relations which Henry now as-
sumed as existing “between them; indeed,
as more than existing, as progressing.
And had not she admitted that relation
by telephoning to him during her anxiety?
She_had not thought how that must ap-
pear to him; she had not thought about
it at all; she had just done it.

She had been one of those who think
of betrothal in terms of questions and
answers, of a moment when decision is
formulated and spoken; she had supposed
that by withholding reply to Henry's
question put even (before Uncle Benny
went away, she was thereby maintaining
the same relation between Henry and her-
self. .But now she was discovering that
this was not so; she was realizing that
Henry had not required formal answer to
him because he considered that such an-
swer had become superfluous; her yes, if
she accepted him now, would not establish
a new bond. it would »merely acknowledge
what was/really understood. She had ac-
cepted that—had she not——when. in the
rush of her feeling., she had thrust her
hand into his the day ..before; she had
accepted it, even more undeniably, when
he had siezed her and kissed her.

Not that she had sought or even con-
sciously permitted, that; it had, indeed,
surprised her. While they were alone to-
gether, and he was telling her things
about himself, somewhat as he had at the
table at Field’s, Alan Conrad was an-
nounced, and she had risen to go. Henry
had tried to detain her; then, as he
looked down at her, hot impulse had
seemed to conquer him; he caught her,
irresistably; amazed, bewildered, she look-

ed up at him. and he bent and kissed her. -

The power of his arms about her—she
could feel them yet, sometimes~haif
frightened, half enthralled her. But his
lips against her cheek—she had turned
her lips away so 'that his pressed her
cheek! She had been quite unable to
know how she felt then, because at that
instant she had realized! that she was
seen. So she had disengaged herself as
quickly as possible and, after Alan was
gone, she had ﬂed to her room without
going back to Henry at all.

How could she have expected Henry to
have interpreted that ﬂight from him as
disapproval when she had not meant it
as that; when, indeed, she did not know
herself what was stirring in her that in-
stinct to go away alone? She had not
by that disowned the new relation which
he had accepted as established between
them. And did she wish to disown it
now? What had happened had come
sooner and with less of her will active
in it than she had expected; but she knew
it was only what she had expected to
come. The pride she had felt in being
with him was, she realized, only anticipa—
tory of the pride she would experience as
his wife. When she considered the feel—
ing of her family and her friends, she
knew that, though some would go through
the formal deploring that Henry had not
better birth, all would be satisﬁed and
more than satisﬁed; they would even
boast about Henry a little, and entertain
him in her honor,‘ and show him off.
There was no one—«now that poor Uncle
Benny was gone—who would seriously
deplore it at all,

Constance had recognized no relic of
uneasiness from Uncle Benny’s last ap-
peal to her; she understood that thor-
oughly. ' Or, at least, she had understood
that; now was there a change in the cir—
cumstances of that understanding, because
ofth had happened to Alan, that she
found herself re-defining to herself her
relation with Henry? No; it had noth-
ing to do with Henry, of course; It refer-
red only to Benjamin Corvet. Uncle Ben-
ny had “gone away” from his house on
Astor Street, leaving his place there to
his son, Alan Conrad. Something which
had disturbed and excited Alan had hap-
pened to him on the ﬁrst night he had

passed in that house; and now, it appear- ,

ed, he had‘been prevented from passing
a second night there. What had prevent-
ed him had been an attempted robbery
upon the street, herlfather had said. But
suppose it had been something else than

. robbery. _

She could not formulate more deﬁnitely
this thought, but it persisted; she could
not deny it entirely and shake it off.

To Alan Conrad, in the late afternoon
of that day, this same thought was com-
ing far more deﬁnitely and far more
persistently. He had been awake and
sane since shortly after noonday. The
pain of a head which ached throbbingly
andlof a body bruised and sore .was be-
ginning to give place to a feeling merely
of lassitude—a laugour which revisited
incoherence upon him when he tried [to

.‘think. He- shifted himself upon his 'bed

TEXT: “But see that the exercise of
your y/right does not prove any stumbling-
block to the weak.” 1 Cor. 8:9 (Moffat).

, H13} conversation was heard in a
railroad station just the other
day. It was animated, but

thoughtful and interesting. Certain

church practices were up for dis-
cussion. ,“If I were 8. «Gospel min-
ister I would not wear a clerical
garb unless my action offended
some one in the church said one
party. This man had free faith,

but he was willing to wrap up his

Christian freedom in a church gown
to meet a special case. Can this be
done? Ought it to be done? Why?
only a few years ago, Mr. Smith
purchased a new and expensive car.
He is a great church leader. But
his pastor is on a meager salary.
Some folks questioned his action.
Did he do right? Did he abuse his
liberty? A newspaper editor said
recently, “If we are to judge by
present day conditions, there are a
-lot of people who think more of
their automobile than they do of
their chulrch”. IBut What of it?
Don’t I have a right to, do what I

Now the context out of which my,
text is taken gives us another spe—'
cial case to look at. 01’. course, it
occurred in the long ago, but it re—
veals a life principle that will give
us guidance in modern times. The
case in point was the one of eating
certain meats. The meats in ques—
tion were, probably, those that had
been offered to idols. Some of the

early Christians thought it wrong
to eat them. Others were less
scrupulous. These said, “no idol

is anything in the world and there
is no God but one.” But St. Paul
said, “Howbeit that there is not
in all men that knowledge; and
their conscience being weak is de—
ﬁled.” The apostle takes the part
of the weaker brother, saying to
the stronger, “Knowledge puffeth
up, but love ediﬁeth. “Paul re—
stricts his oWn liberty in this par-

Dear Editor. I want you to tell
Rev. Warner how much I enjoy his

spiritual insight to write them and

ticular case thus: “Therefore, if
food is any hindrance to my broth-
er’s welfare, sooner than injure him
I will never eat ﬂesh as long as I
live, never!” (Moﬁat).

See that the exercise of thy right
hand does not leave any stumbling
block to the weak.” Is a Christian
blameless when he voluntarily lives
a life that imperils the faith of an
unenlightened brother? This is
a hard text for some of us. You are
saying now, “Must I be deprived of
some of my rights because of the
scruples of narrow Christians?” It
looks that way. “Well, isn’t that 'at—
taching too much importance to
narrowness?” Hardly, for it brings
us to terms with the law of love
toward all men. It makes Christ
ﬁrst) and supreme in the aﬁairs of
llfe. But suppose a bigoted church-
member says to me, “You cannot be
a Chnstian unless you believe as
I do?” Then I have reached my
limit of surrender to his scruples.
Paul reached his limit when he
would not yield, “no, not for an
hour”, to those Judaizers who would
spy out his liberty in Christ Jesus.
The apostle is reasonable when he
argues, “we have no lordship over
your faith but are helpers of your
joy.” He is not prescribing how
another’s faith should come'to ex-
nor is he counting. that
. expression as essential for him; but
.he is just conceding certain non-
essential things. (scruples about
. meats) for the joy of those ‘who be-'
lieve' ‘th’ern j to' be ”essential.

Why was Jesus so hard on the ec—
clesiastics of his,day? Because he
had pity on the poor widows whose
houses they were robbing. Why did
he pronounce judgment on the
priest and levite? Because he had
compassion on' the robbed and
wounded man. Why did he paint
Dives in hell? Because the rich
man did not pity the beggar even as
much as did the dogs in the street.
You see, Jesus would forfeit [person-
al rights for the sake of others. Paul
follows with, “Sinning against the
brethern, and wounding their con-
science when it is weak, ye sin
against Christ.” The core of our
lesson, therfore, is just this: if
Christ became a big brother to the
weak it is a little thing for us to
yield a few rights for their sake.

“Destroy not with thy meat him

word that Paul sends to_the Roman
church. “Thy meat.” Why insist
on so small a gratiﬁcation when it
might prove fatal to~ a brother for
whom Christ died? Charity is urg-

“The Farm Paper of Service"

 

WE HOPE YOU WILL USE IT!

HE road map on the front cover of this issue

contains the latest available corrections.

detours, roads under construction and paved
or improved highways. It was secured for the
readers of THE Busmsss FABMEB, through the co-
operation of Frank Rogers, Commissioner of the
State Highway Department, who had it especi-
ally corrected for our use.

We know you will want to keep this map for
your next automobile trip and the purpose of
our mentioning it on this page is to encourage
you to make use of it.

We who proudly call the state of Michigan
“our state", are sometimes prone to forget the
blessings in scenic grandeur and opportunities
for healthful recreation which an all-wise Na—
ture fairly heaped in the lap of our peninsulas.

Now with the automobile, one would have to
search far for a farm home which is more than
two hours from a glistening lake, where children
may splash along the shore, while dad and the
big brothers try their luck for the ﬁghting bass
or the trout whch lies only waiting, for the an-
gler.

“All work makes Jack a dull boy!" and never
was this old axiom truer than when applied to
the members of a farm family where the daily
struggle to “get ahead", precluded any ray of
hope held out for a holiday when the task was
completed. How the work seems to fly when
one is getting ready to “go somewhere"!

Mother and the girls dressed for fun—tell
them to take along their bathing suits—dad
hunting for more tackle while the boys are
down back of the barn transplanting the long,
juicy worms from the black soil under the old
manure pile to the empty tin can.

Now the ilivver is ﬂivving, miles stretch out
ahead like a ribbon and ﬂow back like a running
tape. Over the hills and far away! To some
shady nook beside the lake or stream. What
an appetite for lunch when the baskets are
ﬁnally opened! Good thing, mother thought
to bring along some fried chicken—if we had
depended on the ﬁsh dad was going to catch
we’d all be mighty hungry by now!

‘.

And then there is another kind of a trip for
which the map on the cover is just intended.
That's a vacation-for—mother-and-dad trip! We
hope this map’will suggest to a lot of boys and
girls, that mother and dad deserve a few days

of rest early this summer before the harvest

season comes round.
We would like to picture mother and dad
starting out some morning with just an auto-
mobile and this road map with no plan except
to go and go, following the paved roads as
shown, until they were in some distant part of
the state from where they live. We'd like to
think of them, listening that evening to the
splashing of waves on some far—away beach or
to a band concert in some far-away park. Hoth-
'er and dad deserve a few days away from home.

HE Michigan hatchery men want slants in-
spection and certiﬁcation of their hatch-
eries to give the buyer greater conﬁdence in

their product. They have formed the Michigan
State Poultry Association, the immediate ob-
ject of which is to enlist the cooperation of the
State Department of Agriculture in the certi-
ﬁcation work.‘ Other states have provided for
this work and while the quality of the stock
put out by the majority of the hatcheries in
Michigan is unquestioned, there is a feeling
among the hatchery men that they could com-
pete much better with ‘the hatcheries» in other
states if Michigan chicks were inspected by the
state.

The plan of the association calls for inspection
of every bird in their ﬂocks by a. representative
of the Department of Agriculture, he to mark
those deemed worthy with a sealed and number-
ed band. Fiocks which passed the requirements
would be certiﬁed and the hatcheries would be
required to maintain certain precautions with
respect to sanitation and live up to promises
made in their advertising. Also a blood test
would be made to detect signs of bacillary
white diarrhoea.

The ﬁnest baby chicks in the world are hatch-
ed in Michigan and the hatchery men of the
state have taken a very wise step in asking for
state inspection and certiﬁcation. It may not
be needed but it will do no harm and should
prove proﬁtable.

PLAN FOR MARKE'I‘ING BEANS

N an article in this issue J. N. McBride, of
Burton, suggests a plan for marketing ‘Mich-
igan beans. He believes that the grower and

jobber should get together, call in the business
man, and have a real meeting and agree on the
opening price of the crop. Then see that prices
are not allowed to ﬂuctuate every time the
wind changes. Outside jobbers and wholesale
grocers are usually careful about buying any
more Michigan beans than they can use at once
because they are afraid the bottom may drop
out of prices and they will be left holding the
bag. Of course, if the price went up they would
proﬁt, but the chances'are too great. Mr. MC:
Bride wants to stabilize prices and establish
conﬁdence in the Michigan market. His plan
is submitted only after careful thought and we
would like to know what you think of it. Do
you think it would work satisfactorily? Have
you any suggestions to improve the plan?

WE WANT SUGGmTIONS

VER 60,000 copies of each issue of THE BUSI-
ans Farms-a go into Michigan homes which
means that there are more than 200,000

people reading the paper. This paper, to all in-
tent and purposes, belongs to its readers and
we are anxious to publish the kind of matter
that is of most value and of most interest to the
greatest number of readers. We want you to
help us make the paper—to be a part of it.
Consider yourself an associate editor. We want
your suggestions on departments we are publish-
ing—whether you like them or not, and which
ones you like best. Tell us what particular sub-
jects you would like articles on. Your sugges-

sideration.

CONSUIII‘ YOUR BANKER

ECENTLY we went into a bank to talk over
R a business matter with the president. His

ofﬁce was just inside the_ door on the
right hand, separated from the lobby by only
a low railing, and we found him talking with
an elderly lady. As we stood at one side waiting
we observed that the lady was dressed in very
plain cloths. well worn, and her face indicated
that she had sutured. She was earnestly asking
the banker questions to which he replied after
careful thought. We did not intend to listen
but we were so interested in the appearance and
actions of the lady that- we dmmwout thinko

- ing, and from the few-words we heard we learn-i

ed she was getting information of a legal nature.

. WHEAT FLUCTUATIONS

WE have before us three explanations of
s

harp ﬂuctuations in the wheat, market.

One is that speculators misled the public
supply—that “amateur statisticians made ﬁgures
by misinformation regarding experts and world
to ﬁt imam‘nary facts"; another is that “the
rapid decline was largely caused by an’organized
and determined elfort on the part of big manipu—
lators to destroy the wheat pools of the Canadi-
an prairie“ provinces", and the third is that
“wheat prices collapsed because they had pre—
viously become dangerously inﬂated, just as
stock prices have collapsed for identically the
same reason.” These opinions are apparently

. from well-informed sources‘and furnish a strik-

ing illustration of the facility with which views
are colored to suit tastes. There is no indica-
tion of any endeavor to distort facts, but the
very human way in which desire may 'sway
judgment is apparent. The truth is a rare and
beautiful thing, hard to find and diﬂicult to rec-
ognize.

CORN BY-PRODUMS

Y-PRODUCTS of the corn plant have caught
the eye" of the scientist. A list of commodi-
ties made from corn, published by the

United States Department of Agriculture, num-
bers 146 and ranges from axle grease to face
powder—which may not be so far apart in the
scheme of things as we at ﬁrst imagine. Among
other items are shoe heels, shaving soap, var-
nish and gun powder. Corn hasracheived fame
as a food for man and boast, the corn crop
being the most valuable crop grown by the
American farmer. Three fourths of it is fed to
farm animals and about one-tenth goes into the
rations of the human race. We are glad to"see
corn used in making anything good for man,
and while, the use of the plant in making lux-
uries and trimmings of a complex civilization
odors interesting possibilities it will hardly sup-
plant the major function, that of making pork
and beef.

ANUI'HER ONE

,NOTHER “farm program" is being prepared
A for the consideration of Congress. It pro-
vides for the usual commission of well-paid
citizens who are given rather broad general
powers to represent agriculture and to advise
and assist cooperative, organizations. Under cer-
tain conditions the commission is to have power
to handle surplus products for export, though
not to ﬁx prices on the surplus. This program
will prove .m be worth just what others of the
kind have been—less than zero. There is no
need of an oﬁcial body to represent or misre-
present agriculture. There is no need of a gov-
ernment export agency. If other nations want
our products they know how to get them. If
they don’t want them a government agency has
no magic power to create a desire .for them.

FARM JOURNAL AGENTS
BUNK

AST year we had something to
L say about the method employed
by the agents of The Farm
Journal (Philadeplhia), in soliciting
subscriptions for that farm maga-
gine in the state of Michigan.

Now we ﬁnd that their men are
thicker than green-ﬂies around a
molasses barrel in all parts of Michi-
gan and we might as well give
them some gratuitous advertising.

From all reports the scheme
worked by the Farm Journal agents
in Michigan this year is the same as
that worked last year and the year
before, not only in Michigan but in
many parts of the United States.

The scheme itself is so old it
ought to be given a decent place in
some Old Man’s Home and at the
expense of The Farm Journal agents
too, because they have certainly
worked it to death.

Perhaps you have already had it
worked on you—4f not, you are
lucky, but if you have already “bit-
ten" our advice is to warn your ,»
friends and neighbors. You need
not even tell them you bit! Then
keep th old shot-gun loaded with
rock 5 which will properly per-
suade. the next agent who tries to
get you to sign a “petition” that
you are wise to him.

The “petition-scheme" for getting
subscriptions to a magazine is a
proﬁtable one for the agent. He
come to your door and presents a
“petition" on which you ﬁnd the
names of your friends or neighbors
.who have already “fallen".. It is
usually a petition to congress, the
kn klux klan or the pope, to “lower
taxes", “give the farmer more and
the middleman less", “down with
the rich, in with the poor" or some
sort of equally valuable twaddle,
which the agent explains to you is
“just about to be presented." It
you sign—and most of us would
sign anything that was a request for
more money and cost us nothing——
then the agent politely informs you
that the two dollars which he now
expects to collect from you will
bring the paper he represents for
ten full years! _ _

And there you are!

He got you to write your ow

name and address—he got your two,

WARREN McRAE. AGAIN!

“ AM sending you a letter I receiv-
ed from Warren McRae. They
say ‘a barking dog never bites'

but this-one hit me. He wrote me

several letters and I did not have
much faith in them, but he ﬁnally
told me in his last letter that he
would take $2.60 for his trouble
and if he failed to get me a buyer
he would give me my money back,
so I sent him the money. In his
letter he promised to return my
money in 90 days if he could not

sell my farm. As that was in 1922

and I have not heard from him

since then I believe that he uses a

different kind of calendar than I do.

Thank goodness it wasn’t $10."

”WENT RADIO SET

are in receipt of a letter from

an Oakland county subscriber

containing an advertisement
of a company in Detroit selling the
“Crystal Mystery" radio receiving
set. According to this company the
receiving range of this crystal set
is, loud speaker, 2 miles, and head-
phones, 500 miles, and it only costs
$10. Our subscriber wonders if he
should buy.

According to radio experts the re.-
ceiving range of the average crys-
talr-set is up to 25 miles and the
best will sometimes receive pro-
grams broadcast from high power
stations even 50 miles away. We
are referring to programs and not
code, because code has been receiv-
ed from sending stations over a
thousand miles away. We believe
our reader is interested in receiving
the programs and according to this
they are talking
about receiving programs only. Test
conducted by the manufacturers in-
dicate that programs put on the
air by stations over 800 miles away
were heard with headphones. We
do not doubt this but the company
fails to tell about the conditions
under which they were received.
They perhaps heard the programs
but they did not receive them from
the station from which they were
broadcast.

I once owned a crystal receiving
set and I heard programs from sta-
tions over 500 miles away but I did
not receive them direct. One of
my neighbors had a powerful vacu—
um tube receiving set of the regen-
erative type and he received the
stations and rebroadcast the pro-
grams so that my set picked them
up. A regenerative .set acts as a
transmitter Within a certain radius
and I could tune in those distant
stations only When he was listen-
ing to'theln. When he changed his
dials I could no longer hear the
stations.

Do not allow any highly colored
advertisement or talkative sales—
man inﬂuence you in buying a ra-
dio receiving set. Buy only one
that you can try out in your home
with the understanding that if it is
not satisfactory- you can‘ return it.

vestment when you get one that is

NEXT WINTER’S DECORATIONS
MAY SPARIUJE WITH VARIETY

HROU-GHOUT the summer the

ﬂowers come into the house in an
* endless variety to keep the ﬂower-
loving mistress busy with new ar-
rangements. What a joy it is to
have, against the more or less stable
background of walls and furniture
bought to endure, a varying fore-
ground of ﬂowers. When ﬁnally for
even the cleverest gardner, the win—
ter frosts have nipped the last ragged
sailor, brave calendula, delicate but
hardy stock and snap dragon, the
winter months face us with an out-
doors frozen for its winter rest.

How shall we replace the sum-
mer’s bounty in the winter, when

, the indoors is used much more than

ever? House plants often demand
more care than the .modern woman
feels she can give. Bulbs are not as
enthusiastic about steam-heated
apartments as they are about warm
spring sunshine, and cut ﬂowers are
often expensive and hard to get.

There are, however, many kinds
of ﬂowers that can be dried for win-
ter use and a variety of greens and
berries that can ﬁll in the times when
bulbs are in the leaf stage. and fa—
vorite cut ﬂowers too dear. The great
secret of winter bouquets, that is, if
the heart of the mistress of the house
longs for the spice of life, and grows
weary at the sight of the same ﬂow-
ers month after month, is to change
them. A large box for winter ﬂow-
ers and greens may hold the ones not
in use, then the bouquets may be
rearranged from time to time. There
are lovely things to last through the
winter months until the ﬁrst for-
sythia branches shall have been forc-
ed into house bloom, or an apple
branch coaxed into pale blossoms.
From then on, it is only a moment
before daffodils, hyacinths and the
whole summer array follow.

The house during the ﬂowerless
"season may be most appropriately
adorned with vases of laurel and
pine or cedar branches; if the
branches with tiny coens are avail-
able, so much the‘better. With these
greens can be mixed the barberry or
the black alder berries, brilliant,
even into the winter with branches
of tenacious plump red berries. To
dip the end of each branch in melted
parafﬁn, will preserve the moisture
better even than putting them in
water. Wall baskets may be charm-
ingly ﬁlled with laurel, since nothing
gives a more glossy rich green or
adds to the hospitable coziness of the
living-rooms. Low spreading bas-
kets on mantel, highboy, desk or
bookcase take on a real distinction
when ﬁlled with this green. Only a
little is needed, because it lasts a
long time and ﬁlls in quickly.

There is a variety of Chinese lily
that will produce an unusually deco-
rative fresh green spike of foliage

quets and if, after one arrangement
has been out for a week or two, it is
put away, a welcome will greet its
ultimate return to view.

Sprays of the dried gysophila,
baby’s—breath may be put in with
them if a more delicate effect isde-
sired. And the ﬂame—colored pop-
ular little Japanese lantern plant
needs the same rest as the straw
ﬂowers. If these two lovely bits are
not overworked they are a real ad-
dition to the house. Although these
are the most commonly known ﬂow-
ers for winter drying, there are other
varieties equally lovely, and well
worth buying from the ﬂorist or
raising in next summer’s garden.

The globe amaranth is a ﬂower
much like the red clover in shape.
Its colors ar purple, ﬂesh, or rose,
and an unusually striking orange-
buif, often tinged with bronze. This
dries most satisfactorily and is a
new addition to the catalog of cold
weather favorites. Honesty or lunaria
biennis has shiny silvery seed pods
that combine most effectively with
the other winter ﬂowers. The large
spreading heads of statice latifolia
or sea lavender are delft blue, lovely
in color, while its tiny cup-shaped
ﬂowers give a cloudlike appearance.
The rodanthe, also an everlasting,

has pretty pink ﬂowers on long
stems. Particularly desirable when
out and 'dried, are the xeranthemum
whose gracefully shaped ﬂower comes
in a variety of tints.

One woman, who was an enthusi-
astic gardener, bought last spring
from one of the better seed houses
a collection of seeds from which she
was to get 25 varieties of everlasting
ﬂowers. They grew in lavish abun-
dance and produced a richness in
variety that was an awakener to
those who had looked with more or
less of a bored resignation upon
dried ﬂowers. The boredom changed
to interest as she cut and arranged
the lovely delicate blossoms ' of
charming variety of color.

When winter's ﬂower famine came
she made for one of her best friends
a box of, 10 different bouquets, each
one wrapped separately with a date
for opening. Through the weeks of
January, February and March the
colorful everlasting ﬂowers lent a
gay touch to the living rooms and
awakened a response from the mem-
bers of the family because there was
a different bouquet before the ﬁrst
one grew boring.

A Handy Kitchen Sink For the Farm

EN we rebuilt our home my

ﬁrst thought was for the kitch—

en arrangement. I had a por-
celain sink placed under a large win-
dow. The plumber took measure-
ments in order to get the' sink just
the right height to be convenient for
me when washing dishes or prepar-
ing vegetables when seated on a
stool in front of the sink. The win-
dow above the sink was made large
enough ~to give plenty of light on
my work and low enough so that I
can see outside, both the sink and
window being placed on the side of
the kitchen commanding the best
view. This last detail "may seem a
triﬂing consideration to'some people
but I believe a good outlook from
one’s kitchen window has a wonder-
ful effect upon one’s frame of mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

l?"- v- H'mﬂm‘h" ‘W “1“ ‘5 "ﬁshed.

Perhaps I feel more keenly about
this than most women because in my
ﬁrst kitchen all I could see was the
barn and hog yard. Now I look
through trees, beautiful either in
summer or winter, and beyond the
trees over acres of splendid farm
land.

There is a drain board on either
side of the sink, with a drawer for
kitchen knives, spoons, and other
utensils directly below, and below
this are shelves with doors. On these
shelves I keep pans and kettles. I
like to have these things behind
doors out of the dust. On the wall
beyond on either side are more en-
closed cupboards. Light, height,

and cupboards mean comfort in a
farm woman’s kitchem— Mrs. E.
Bickel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

stantl‘y, in danger of being either
partially or totally ruined by clothes

One of the best preventative
measures, in. regard to clothes
moths, is to thoroughly brush on
both sides all susceptible materials,
then to sun them for two hours, be.
fore storing for the summer.

The method of storing unlnfested.
susceptible articles for the summer
is important. Boxes or bags lined
with fresh tar paper, or tight ﬁt-
ting wooden or1 cardboard boxes,
make safe storage places. Of all
the materials used to repell clothes

ymoths from goods in storage, nap-

thalene is undoubtelly the best and
cheapest, whether used in the form
or balls or as ﬂakes. Cedar chests
and cedar shavings are not wholly
effective against the pest.

Infested articles 'can be easily and
cheaply fumigated in boxes, trunks,
or chests. The procedure is as fol-
lows: pack the infested materials
loosely into a box or chest and upon
the top of them place a" shallow
dish containing about an ounce of
carbon bisuplhid. Inimediately
close the box 'or chest and .seal
tightly. The carbon‘ bisulphid pro-
duces a gas that settles down into
the clothing, killing all stages of
the clothes moth. No ﬁre should be
in the building in which the fumi-
gating takes place, as ,the gas pro-
duced is highly explosive. All fumi-
gating should be done in summer
time when the temperature is never
below 65 degrees.

Most of the so-called home rem-
edies for clothes moths are worth-
less. Among the ineffective ones

are dusts of alspice, angelica root,‘

black pepper, borax cayenne pepper,
eucalyptus leaves, hellebare, lime,
quassis chips, salt sodium bicarbon-
ate, sodium carbonate, sulphur, and
tobacco. Formaldehyde, as a spray
or fumigant, is also entirely unsat-
isfactory.

In building dwelling houses, if a
small window is put in each clothes
closet and storage space in the attic,
much of the moth trouble would be
over for moths do not work or breed
in the presence of light.

A Few Hints.—-Many housewives com-
plain about old potatoes being black and
soggy. The remedy is to peel them and
set them aside in cold water for an hour
or two before they are cooked.

Some think the only way they can
“put down” eggs is with water glass but
I have been very successful in keeping
eggs fresh packing them in a pail of oats
or bucket of salt.

If strawberries are washed before they
are hulled there will be no waste of juice.

Tumblers and glass dishes that have
held milk should always be rinsed well
with cold water before being washed as
usual. If this is not done they will soon
have a cloudy appearance. Come on,
housewives, send in your helpful hints
and help some other woman with her
work. ——Mrs Reader. .

Boone—Water sports. tennis, croquet,-
basket ball, etc, have nothing that‘might
be termed a ﬁxed code of etiquette. To
all of them, however, a few deﬁnite rules
of manners apply.

1. The rudest and most ill- bred thing
a fellow-player or spectator can do in any
game is to annoy his partners 01' oppon-
ents, or other pla ers in general by loud
conversation, 1a
culated to distract attention or annoy,
and thus adversely affect their play.

2. No player should criticize another
player who has taken part in the game
through courtesy only. \

3. No player should show himself
boastful in success or shamefaced in de-
li‘lft- Both extremes are unsportsman-

e.

4. Every player in any game should
show himself a ”good loser." He must
meet defeat with a smile and be rea‘dy to
congrattila-te the Winner.

6. No one should force himself on
others who are playing a game. The
players already playing, if the occasion
should arias; should be allowed to make
the advance was it is quite plain that .

vc or ﬁve years for two dollars—to, Michigan Business Farmer

we will give for a short time only an up to the minute Mich-
igan road map similar to the one illustrated on the front cover
of this issue.

These maps are lithographed in ﬁve colors and are Without doubt
the ﬁnest maps ever offered to the farmers of Michigan.

A set of maps, such as these, corrected right up to the minute
is one of the most valuable additions to any farm home, especially
where there are children in school. They ﬁnd it a constant source of
inspiration and information. Most school geographies, even school
maps, are now out of date. -

This set of maps contains, among other things usually found in
wall maps, the following exclusive features:

(1) Automobile Routes in Michigan and United States.

(2) Flags of every state and every nation, in colors._ .

(3) Lomtzion and Letters of all Broadcasting Radio Stations
in the United States.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

 

 

Dear Uncle Ned:-—~The old saying, “A
bad penny always returns” is surely true
in this arse. As always I am going to
chatter until someone gets tired of me.

Why don’t some of the cousins tell more
about trips they take? I love to hear
about travels, and am sort of a wanderer

Do any of you readers remember Ila-
Vendee Adolph of Union City? 1 used to
be in the same grade with her in School
down there. My mother returned from

Adolph’s beautiful home burning. You
have my sympathy, LaVendee.

As it seems to be customary for the
cousins to describe themselves I will give
you just a glimpse of me, but that Is
all for if I told more you might get
scared and run. I am just a plain farm-
er girl, with the “plain" most prominent.
Have brown hair and eyes, am 5 feet 4
inches tall and weigh about 124% pounds.
I will be 17 years old June 23, so you
can see what a “little—big” cousin is
unong you. Oh yes, I nearly forgot about
my freckles! Of course I could not get

myself, so come on, let’s hear about it.‘

there recently and gave an account of‘

 

  

em A

along without them as'they are my ”chief
('3) pride.’” 7 ' » 7 . . .
VVe’ll, Uncle Ned, if 1,-qult this time,-
will you please let me come again»? You
know I have quite a few bright red ’hairs
hidden among my-‘browu ones that en- ‘
titles me to a. snappy little temper, so for
your own beneﬁt. take my advise in time
and let me have‘rny way. And if I come
again will you jam that old waste basket
under the desk? -
Three cheers for the M. B. F.,.the Chil-
dren’s Hour and Uncle Ned—Elizabeth
Yoder, R. 1, Maple City, Mich.
—I am very sorry to learn about La—
Vendee Adolph's home burning. Would’nt
it be ﬁne for all the cousins to write
her letters extending their sympathy?
Let us do that. Why not send us a pic-
ture, Elizabeth, to prove your statement
about being "plain”? Yes I think you can
come again, but remember our motto and
“Do Your Best” to control that "snappy
little temper.” Will you?

 

Dear Uncle .Nedz—I received the but-
ton and think it is very pretty. I have
two other pins but none are as pretty
as this one. I hate to wear it as I am
afraid I might lose it. I like schobl and
am going, to try and go through high
schbol. I think nothing is better than a
good education. I am in the sixth grade
at~school and do not think my subjects
are very hard. I amsending a drawing
“The Old Oaken Bucket” and hope to see
it in print.

For pets I have a dog named “Joe"
and a pet hen that ‘has some little chicks.
My hobby is to ride horse-back. I have
no horse but I am always fussing around
the horses. V

I have a few ﬂowers.
lillies, bridlewreath, tacqueminot rose,
lilac, thousand leaf rose, and peonies,
red, pink and white. Then we have a
white lilly that has pink spots on it. If
it rains the“ pink spots run in together
with the whim And we have an old
fashioned rose, a very deep, dull red with
a lot of tiny petals on it.

Say Uncle Ned, can we send’in pictures

thatvare colored with crayons? Do you
print pictures made with pencil?
. Uncle Ned, if somebody just. began tak-
ing the paper and saw that we had pins
but were too late'for the contest, and
wanted a pin, how could they get one?

Well, as it is 8:30 I will close. From
a cousin—Leona Stofflet, Scotts, Mich.‘
—I am sorry that I cannot print your
drawmg but you made it with blue ink,
and drawings made with blue ink will
not print. Nor will those made with
colored crayons. If pencil drawings are
good we can print them, but it is best ’
that you draw them with black ink.
Those who did not win buttons in our
contest will continually have opportuni-
ties to win them because we are going
to have many contests and buttons will
be awarded to the wihners providing they
do not already have one. In such cases
will give them another prize. Come
again, Leona—Uncle Ned.

MAMMA’S PET

A year ago last January my mother
had a baby lamb given her by a neigh-
bor, we had great fun in feeding and
caring for the lamb which we named
Molly. In the evenings she would try to
get in our laps, when some one would
take her up and she would sleep in our
arms like a baby. One day she disap-
peared and my mother hunted all over
for her, she had followed the dog away
and came down to the schoolhouse. Bob,
our dog, would come at recesses and
noons to play with us children so he
brought Molly with him that day. Molly
was satisﬁed when she found me in the
school house and was very quiet until
she heard my mother speak wnen she
ran for the door calling “maal maa!"
My, how the children did laugh. When
my father goes after the cows in the
mornings Molly and Bob always go with
him.—Nina Crawford, Elsie, Mich.

The second marriage bill, known
as the Quinlan—Darian Act, is much
shorter but no less important. Its
chief provision is that no license to
marry shall be delivered within a
period of ﬁve days following the
date of application therefor, except
upon a written order signed by the
Judge of Probate which would only
be given in genuine emergencies.
This bill is intended to prevent
“spite” marriages and those entered
into on the spur of the moment.

Rural Health Considered

Four bills having direct relation
to the health of rural communities
were enacted into law at the recent
session. One of these provides for
the acceptance on the part of Mich-
igan of the Federal Shepherd—Town~
er Act for the promotion of the wel-
fare and hygiene of maternity and
infancy. To meet the provisions of
this Federal aid, $30,000 is appro-
priated for each of the next two
years. The bill speciﬁcally states
that no oiiicial, agent or representa—
tive in carrying out the provisions of
this act shall enter any home or
take charge of any child over the
objection of either parent. .

The second public health bill de<
ﬁnitely , authorizes any county
through its board of supervisors to
employ public health nurses. Some
counties have employed such nurses
in the past, but when the legality of
this action was brought up, it was
found that there was no legal au-
thorization for their ~employment.
The bill goes into detail regarding
the qualiﬁcations, powers and duties
of such nurses and the manner of
their control and regulation.

The last two public health meas—
ures relate to the care of patients
suffering from tuberculosis. Both
have.been discussed in considerable
detail in past issues of THE Busnmss
FABMER and have been the topic of
strong editorials in this paper.

The ﬁrst of these measures allows
any county having a population of
more than 30,000 to establish and
maintain a. sanatorium for the treat-
ment of tuberculosis. It further
provides that any two or more coun—
ties may cooperate for a similar pur-
pose. In no case shall the tax for

. the original construction and equip-

ment‘exceed in any one year one
mill on each dollar of the assessed
valuation.
ed over a period of not to» exceed
three years. The state would pay $1
per day for each patient given free
care in any such institution.

The last of these bills appropri-
ates $500,000 for a. new state tuber—
culosis sanatorium to be erected on
a site selected by a committee con-
sisting of the Lieutenant-Governor,
Speaker of the House of Represent-
atives, two Senators and two Repre-
sentatives.

The urgent necessity for this in—
stitution is illustrated by the large

number of tuberculosis sufferers
always on the waiting list for ad-
mission to the sadly out-grown

state sanatorium at Howell. ' Au-
thorities in position to know state
that to completely’serve all tuber—
culosis patients requiring hospital
treatment'in Michigan, would neces—

in that connection a hazy idea or
a red brick building, housing a lot
of machines turned by cranks, with
a procession of fat hogs going into
the hopper on top and a slabs of
bacon already to slice coming out of
of another, with sausages, squeals,
and pork chops coming out of other
smaller spouts all along the way.
We visited the largest one in Den—
mark, the “Fredericks-sund. Andels

had been mistaken all these years.
A Danish bacon factory is simply a
hog slaughtering and bacon curing
plant. In Denmark the hog slaugh—
tering is not centralized at the
large markets as it is here. The
cooperative plants are scattered
through the kingdom, the average
membership, we were told, being
about 3, 600 hog producers. The re-
markable thing about it all is that
these enterprises are all controlled
by the producers themselves. The
hog producers in the vicinity ﬁ-
nance the building of the factory,
contract to deliver all their hogs
to the factory and pay a ﬁne of a
little over $2. 50 per hog if they vi-
olate it, and sell somewhere else.

The ﬁrst of these plants was es-
tablished in 1887 and so successful
has it been that there are now 46
cooperatives... acon factories, and 85
per cent of l the hogs slaughtered
in Denmark are killed in the coop-
erative plants.

The plant we visited had a mem-
bership of 4, 200 members which in-
cluded 99 per cent of all the hog
producers within the territory it
was built to serve, an area ten
miles wide and forty miles long.
The plant was built and originally
operated on borrowed money after
1,200 members had contracted to
deliver all their hogs to the factory
for the next twenty years. It takes
faith in one’s felIOWmen to sign a
contract like that. The property is
now owned mortgage free, and an
average of 2,000 hogs are slaughter—
ed every week. About 95 per cent
of these hogs are hauled direct to
the factory in wagons or trucks and
th farmer himself is paid from 25
cents to a dollar a head for the haul-
ing of his own hogs to his own fac-
tory.

The farmer is paid the same day
the delivery is made according to
the price that is set for the week
by a committee from all the bacon
factories. These hogs are marketed
at from 180 to 220 pounds and
dress from 135 to 165 pounds. Un-
iformity of the ﬁnished product is
so necessary that a deduction of
about a cent a pound is made if
the hog is above or below the re-
quired weight. The result is that
these hogs are all of the same type,
a Yorkshire cross with the native
Danish hogs, and the bacon sides
all look almost exactly alike when
they are ready to ship to England.
These sides are loaded into rail-

road cars (in the fourth or 111th day
and are sent by boat from Cb‘pen‘e
hagen hetero the. end of. the Fﬂrst,
~week. The Danish farmer dees not.

need to worry about the price ﬂuc—
tuations; when his hog is ready he
hauls him to the plant, gets his
money, and then at the end of the
year he gets his dividend according
to the weight of hogs delivered.

00 for Germany

But we' had Germany yet to visit
and practically as much of Europe
yet to conquer as Napoleon had at
the beginning of his career. .We

left, Copenhagen one beautiful
morning for Berlin, Germany,_ the
city of poverty and rags. We had

been promised that kind of a. city,
and it was certainly true.

Poverty and rags, amid marbled
splendor—and hunger in gilded
halls—that was the irony of Berlin.
It is a beautiful city physically, and
it must once have been magniﬁcent,
but beautiful buildings and broad
avenues do not make a city any
more than a diamond ring will ﬁll
a stomach. It seemed to us that the
city was most pitifully poor. '

There is the prosperous side of
that great and magniﬁcent city——
but the seamy side in the summer
of 1924 was ever so much more no-
ticeable, and the contrast was most
startling. There are splendidly ap-
pointed restaurants, heavily patron-
ized it is true, but just outside the
door and along the sidewalk lead-
ing up to the restaurant are doz-
ens of miserable beggars, under-
nourished and in rags. There is a.
wonderful opera, yes. It is admit-
ted to be the ﬁnest in the world
outside of New York and Paris, per-
haps. But there is no whistling
about the streets; there is no sing—
ing in the parks and I would judge
a country more by these things, the
spontaneous music of the four mil-
lion, rather than the quality of
the opera in the\ circles of the four
hundred.

There are magniﬁcent private au-
tomobiles, rolling along in state
with chauffeurs and even footmen
liveried in the height of that “uni—
formitis” with which all of Ger-
many_ seems to be afflicted. But
“the judgment of the ten million”
in Germany is most certainly not to
own their own, for in August, 1924,
one would not see as many privately
owned automobiles in Berlin in a.
day as he could see in any village
of 200 people in the United States.

There was the physical back-
ground, the actual territory, for
beautiful city parks in this great
European capital, but there was no
pleasure in strolling through these
parks for the benches were covered
with the poor and unemployed. the
paths lined with beggars and no
happy children, such as we look for
in America, were “playing about on
the grass—grass such as it was.

IONIA FARMER ADDS COSTLY
SIRE T0 HERD
OLLOWING the policy of “the
best is none to good” Thomas
Martin of Ionia recently pur-
chased a valuable sire to head his
herd of choice Shorthorns. He
purchased the bull, “Welfare’s Dia—
mond,” for four years at the head
of the herd of M. E. Miller, of
Greenville. The dam of Welfare’s
Diamond was Welfare 6th a cow
which gave 7,365 pounds of milk as
a three—year—old, while his sire was
Roan Cumberland, imported in dam
and bred by Thomas Lancaster,
Cumberland, England. His sire was
the ﬁrst prize bull at the Pentrith
Agricultural Show in England and
sold in Argentine for $6, 025. We
congratulate you, Mr. Miller.

STOP FEEDING ENSILAGE

I' have an eight year old mare
which has always been a good eater
and thrifty. This year the mare
has a variable appetite and this
morning she did not eat grain. Her
hair does ‘not shed as it‘should.
She had .. one-half bushel ,ensilage
per day during winter—no grain——
oat straw night and morning and
hay at noon during winter. What
should put this mare in good con-
dition?—E. B., Mullikon, Mich.

WOULD recommend that you
I stop feeding ensilage and give

the mare at least a pound of
oats for every hundred she Weighs
per day divided into three meals. To
the eveningfmeai add two or three
quarts of bran with the oats, mix
dry, then moisten and mix well be—
fore feeding. The addition of a
small handfull of ground ﬂaxseed
to the evening meal would be very
beneﬁcial. Feed clean bright clov-
er hay or clover and timothy mixed.
Alfalfa hay fed once daily would
be an excellent addition to the ra—
tion. It would also be very good to
groom the mare very ‘thoroughly
once or twice daily—John P. Hut-
ton, Assoc. Prof. of Surgery and
Medicine, Michigan State College.

LIUE

Please advise me what to do for
lice on cattle or horses. Your ad-
vice will be appreciated.———G. R.,
Olivet, Michigan.

EGARDIN'G a preparation to
R rub on cattle and horses to rid

them of lice, we would suggest
that you try the following:

To one pound of Larkspur seed
add one gallon of water, let simmer
on the stove for about an hour.
After cooling apply to the surface
of the skin with a sponge and rub
well in. This treatment can be re—
peated in two weeks if necessary.

Stables where the horses and cat—
tle are kept should be thoroughly

them with some efﬁcient disinfect-
ant prepara‘ion.——John P. Hutton,

cine, Michigan State College.

WORM FITS

I have a dog one and one—half
years old that has worm ﬁts, could
you tell me what to do for him?“-
H. M., Baryton, Mich.

would be necessary to ﬁrst
know what kind of worms your
dog is suifering from. Dogs com—
monly suﬁer from three kinds of
worms: roundworms, hookworms,
and tape worms. A speciﬁc treat-
ment is required for each variety or
worms, therefore, it becomes neces—

sary to ﬁrst make an examination of-

the dog’s feces to détermine what
kind of worms he is suffering from.
Many times it is necessary to ex—
amine the feces under the micro—
scope ,to ﬁnd the eggs.

I would recommend that you take
your dog to a qualiﬁed veterinarian
and have him make an examination
and determine ﬁrst the kind of
worms your dog is suffering from.

fected with TB have the TB germ
in them? Are such eggs ﬁt to eat.
Upon killing three roosters, which
were not so poor, the livers of the
ﬁrst two were of a natural size and
had several yellow spots on them",

.while the third one’s liver was twice

or three times as large and also had
the same kind of spots as the other
two. The hens keep dying and at
death- are very poor.—F. M., Oak

Grove, Mich.
WISH to say that tuberculosis
germs are not transmissible

through the egg. I don’t believe
there is any danger in eating them
although it might affect the appe-

tite if one knew the source of the

eggs. The description of symptoms
is very suggestive of tuberculosis—
H. F. Statseth, Associate Professor
of Bacteriology, Michigan Agricul-
tural College. "

FARM WOMAN IS STRONG FOR
’ HER‘ POULTRY RECORDS

N 1922 I decided I would like to
to change chickens. Having raised
Barred Rocks for a number of

years I ﬁnally decided on White Leg-
horns because I like a white chicken
best. Then, too, I knew Leghorns
were famous egg producers, having
raised Brown Leghorns for many
years when a child at home. In fact
my parents never raised‘ any other
breed of poultry. I also knew that it
didn’t take so much housing space
for Leghorns as it does for the larger
breeds of chickens.

In order to get a start I bought
850 White Leghorn baby chicks from
a hatchery and raised 700 of them.
I used a hard coal hover in my brood—
er house and like it very much. I
sold the cockerels when they were
nine weeks old. The pullets began
laying in September. In November
the 300 pullets I had kept laid 147
dozen eggs. From November 1922
until November 1923 they laid 3908
dozen eggs.

I have never used lights on my
birds until this winter. I now use
gasoline lanterns and ﬁnd they are
very satisfactory and easy to take
care of. The chickens will come off
the roosts as soon as the lights are
taken into the house.

I feed a scratch feed early in the
morning, which is a mixture of oats
and wheat and at six o’clock at night
I give them corn. I feed a quart of
grain to every twelve hens. I keep
a mash before them at all times,
and plenty of clean water.

This time of the year when eggs
are soaring around 50c and 550 per
dozen, one is encouraged to look
after the ﬂock and give them :close
attention. Thus far, I have never
been bothered with any disease
among my poultry, but I take no
chances. When a bird gets droopy,
the axe is my remedy.

One culling a year does not answer
the purpose of keeping your ﬂock
healthy and most proﬁtable. One
must be on the job continually and
not be afraid to cull out the poor
doers. I am now having my ﬂock
blood tested for white diarrhea.

The big problem we farm women
have is to convince our husbands
that poultry given good care will ac-
tually pay. I ﬁnd that the best way
to convince them is to keep an ac-
curate account ot what you feed and
take in each day. The folowing ﬁg-
ures are taken from my May 1924

monthly record on 288 hens: Total
products sold, $128.69; Total feed
consumed, $11.40; total receipts,
expense other than feed, none; to—
tal receipts, $140.09; total expense,
$18.66; apparent labor income,
$121.43.———Mrs. E. B. \Shuert.

Oyster shell is good, but it won’t take
the place of grit for hens.

volume _will'~ increase from now on,
but their price will be necessarily
high, and many will prefer the old
stock‘ Many of the new ones com-
ing from the south are so immature
they are not very desirable. Old
potatoes can be much improved in
quality if they are pared and soaked
in cold water for several hours be-
fore cooking. They should be cov—
ered with boiling water when ready
for cooking and Should cook fast
until nearly done.

Old potatoes will keep mu-ch bet-
ter in a pile covered with old bags
or carpeton the cellar ﬂoor. We
often throw water over the piles to
keep them moist, and have no trou-
ble in keeping these potatoes ﬁrm
and in good shape until the middle
of August. \

Ill *
Corn Planting
» Our corn ground is ﬁtted, and it
could have been planted several
days ago, but from past experience
in planting corn, when the ground
is cold and the nights frosty, as

they have been until quite lately,‘

we have waited for the ground to
become warmer. Between the ﬁt-
ting of the corn ground, and the
planting of the crop, there were a.
few days in which we graded and
treated the seed potatoes, and now
with the corn in the ground we will
be planting them. I doubt if there
is another crop which has so many
question marks connected with it
as the potato crop.

THE INDIAN DRUNI
(Continued from page 10.)

He realized, as he again lay silent, that
he must put out of his head now all ex-
pectation of ever ﬁnding in Corvet's house
any such record as he had been looking
for. If there had been a. recmd. it 1111—
questionably would be gone ”before he
could get about again to seek it; and he
could not guard against its being taken
from the house; for, if he had been hope-
less of receiving credence for any accus-
ation he might make against Spearman
while he was in health how much more
hopeless was it now, when everything he
would say could be put to the credit of
his injury and to his delirium! He could
not even give orders for the safeguarding
of the house and its contents—~l1is own
property—with assurance that they would
be carried out.

(Continued in June 20 issue.)

WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS?
(Continued from Page 11)

lieve that the Sabbath is an institu-
tion to be kept for its own sake.
Happily, Jesus sets us right on this
when he says, “The sabbath was
made for man, and not man for the

sabbath.” Of course, the mom
good of mankind is meant. But this
is true, also of every day. The real

Christian believes this. And so, our
text enforces the lesson of that day
by day our life is to be so lived as
to promote the common good of. all.
The constant question is not only,
Is this particular habit or action do—
ing me any harm? but also Is it
doing others any harm? Is my lax-
ity becoming a stumbling block to
others? Is it leading others to in—
dulge in loose living to their own
destruction? That is the question.

You will recall Paul’s assertion of
his rights in this way: “Have we no
right to eat and to drink? Have
we no right to lead about a. wife?
Have we not a right to forbear
working?” Here is the answer:
“Nevertheless, we did not use this
right; but we bear all things that
we may cause no hindrance to the
gospel of Christ." The apostle
seems to say that there was but one
safe thing for him to do and that
was to cease living his personal
rights. This is keeping within the
realm of Christian ethics. It is the
clue to social welfare. It is appar—
ent that my personal rights end at

-the place where my brother’s Wel—

fare is menaced. And so, you are
asked to drive slowly in the school
zone on account of the kiddies. The
city fathers tell you to build your
factory where noise and smoke will
least' interfere with living condi-
tions. And'f'so' on. Now we are be-
ginning' to. see that one’s highest
moral freedom is reached when one
can easily take into account anoth-
er's conscience or rights.

steadily. Such ﬂocks can be raised only with chicks which have
known high record ancestry. This can be expected when you buy
ch1cks from Wyngarden’s with 19 years of. breeding for high ﬂock
averages. Read our catalog for full information.

fected with TB have the TB germ

Upon killing three roosters, which
were not so poor, the livers of the
ﬁrst two were of a natural size and

’had several yellow spots on them,
.while the third one’s liver was twice

or three times as large and also had
the same kind of spots as the other
two. The hens keep dying and at
death. are very poor.—-F. M., Oak

Grove, Mich.

there is any danger in eating them

H. F. Stafseth, Associate Professor

FARM WOMAN IS STRONG FOR
HER POULTRY RECORDS

N 1922 I decided I would like to

to change chickens. Having raised

Barred Rocks for a number of
years I ﬁnally decided on White Leg—
horns because I like a white chicken
best. Then, too, I knew Leghorns
were famous egg producers, having
raised Brown Leghorns for many
years when a child at home. In fact
my parents never raised, any other
breed of poultry. I also knew that it
didn’t take so much housing space
for Leghorns as it does for the larger
breeds of chickens.

In order to get a start I bought
850 White Leghorn baby chicks from
a hatchery and raised 700 of them.
I used a hard coal hover in my brood—
er house and like it very much. I
sold the cockerels when they were
nine weeks old. The pullets began
laying in September. In November
the 300 pullets I had kept laid 147
dozen eggs. From November 1922
until November 1923 they laid 3908
dozen eggs.

I have never used lights on my
birds until this winter. I now use
gasoline lanterns and ﬁnd they are
very satisfactory and easy to take
care of. The chickens will come off
the roosts as soon as the lights are
taken into the house.

I feed a scratch feed early in the
morning, which is a mixture of oats
and wheat and at six o’clock at night
I give them corn. I feed a quart of
grain to every twelve hens. I keep
a mash before them at all times,
and plenty of clean water.

This time of the year when eggs
are soaring around 50c and 55c per
dozen, one is encouraged to look
after the ﬂock and give them close
attention. Thus far, I have never
been bothered with any disease
among my poultry, but I take no
chances. When a bird gets droopy,
the axe is my remedy.

One culling a year does not answer
the purpose of keeping your ﬂock
healthy and most proﬁtable. One
must be on the job continually and
not be afraid to cull out the poor
doers. I am now having my ﬂock
blood tested for white diarrhea.

The big problem we farm women
have is to convince our husbands
that poultry given good care will ac-
tually pay. I ﬁnd that the best way
to convince them is to keep an ac-
curate account of what you feed and
take in each day. The folowing ﬁg-
ures are taken from my May 1924

monthly record on 288 hens: Total
products sold, $128.69; Total feed
consumed, $11.40; total receipts,
expense other than feed, none; to-
tal receipts, $140.09; total expense,
$18.66; apparent labor income,
$121.43.—Mrs. E. B. iShuert.

Oyster shell is good, but it won’t take
the place of grit for hens.

volume will increase from now on,
but their price will be necessarily
high, and many will prefer the old
stock‘ Many of the new ones com—
ing from the south are so immature
they are not very desirable. Old
potatoes can be muCh improved in
quality if they are pared and soaked
in cold water/for several hours be-
fore cooking. They should be cov-
ered with boiling water when ready
for cooking and ‘should cook fast
until nearly done,

Old potatoes will keep much bet-
ter in a pile covered with old bags

often throw water over the piles to
keep them moist, and have no trou-
ble in keeping these potatoes ﬁrm
and in good shape until the middle
of August. \

Corn Planting
» Our corn ground is ﬁtted, and it
could have been planted several
days ago, but from past experience
in planting corn, when the ground
is cold and the nights frosty, as
they have been
we have waited for the ground to
become warmer. Between the ﬁt-
ting of the corn ground and the
planting of the crop, there were a
few days in which we graded and
treated the seed potatoes, and now
with the corn in the ground we will
be planting them. I doubt if there
is another crop which has so many
question marks connected with it
as the potato crop.
THE INDIAN DRUM
(Continued from page 10.)

He realized, as he again lay silent, that
he must put out of his head now all ex-
pectation of ever ﬁnding in CorVet's house
any such record as he had been looking
for. If there had been a. recold, it 1111—
questionably would be gone before he
could get about again to seek it;:1nd he
could not guard against its being taken
from the house; for, if he had been hope-
less of receiving credence for any accus-
ation he might make against Spearman
while he was in health how much more
hopeless was it now, when everything he
would say could be put to the credit of
his injury and to his delirium! He could
not even give orders for the safeguarding
of the house and its contents—his own
property—with assurance that they would
be carried out.

(Continued in June 20 issue.)

WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS?
(Continued from Page 11)

lieve that the Sabbath is an institu-
tion to‘ be kept for its own sake.
Happily, Jesus sets us right on this
when he says, “The sabbath was
made for man, and not man for the

sabbath.” Of course, the m'6'fal
good of mankind is meant. But this
is true, also of every day. The real

Christian believes this. And so, our
text enforces the lesson of that day
by day our life is to be so lived as
to promote the common good of all.
The constant question is not only,
Is this particular habit or action do—
ing me any harm? but also, Is it
doing others any harm? Is my lax-
ity becoming a stumbling block to
others? Is it leading others to in—
dulge in loose living to their owu
destruction? That is the question.

You will recall Paul's assertion of
his rights in this way: “Have we no
right to eat and to drink? Have
we no right to lead about a wife?
Have we not a. right to forbear
working?” Here is the answer:
“Nevertheless, we did not use this
right; but we bear all things that
we may cause no hindrance to the
gospel of Christ.” The apostle
seems to say that there was but one
safe thing for him to do and that
was to cease living his personal
rights. This is keeping within the
realm of Christian ethics. It is the
clue to social welfare. It is appar-
ent that my personal rights end at

'the place where my brother’s Wel-

fare is menaccd. And so, you are
asked to drive slowly in the school
zone on account of the kiddies. The
city fathers tell you to build your
factory where noise and smoke will
least interfere 'with living condi-
tions. Antfso' on. Now we are be-
ginning to- see that one’s highest
moral freedom is reached when one

I. 'CDT' Average Demand For Beef Cattle lGoOd

All Grains in F oirly Steady Position
By W. W. FOUIE. Market Editor.

E most important recent event

in the farming world was the

sudden change from warm to
cold weather, causing serious injury
to grain and other crops and ruin-
ing the strawberries in various dis-
tricts of the middle west. As is apt
to be the case, some. of the damages
were overdrawn, but there is no
doubt that many farmers suffered
serious injuries. The next matter
of especial interest to farmers was
the movement of Secretary of Agri-
culture Jardine to launch a cam-
paign for restoring conﬁdence in the
world’s largest grain and live stock
markets by eliminating features he
regards as gambling and unfair
methods. He made his ﬁrst stop in
Chicago on a six months’ tour of
the country “to gather amunition.”
Concerning his relations with the
Chicago and other grain markets,
Mr. Jardine said, almost immediate—
ly after his arrival: “The Chicago
Board of Trade must put its house
in order. We are not opposed to
the legitimate functioning of the
Board of Trade, but we do oppose
gambling. People are beginning to
think it is a nuisance, because it
has been running wild.”

Shortly after his arrival in Chi-
cago Mr. Jardine, accompanied by
John Caine, in charge of administra—
tion of the stock yards, visited Pack-
ingtown. In his ﬁrst visit to give
and take a “once over” Mr. Jardine,
in referring to the administrator of
the stockyards and packers law,
said he put a man in with both
"horse sense and experience. He is
a westener who knows the language
of the cow men. He knows cows
and sheep, unless some one’s been
lying to me. When you have
trouble John T. Caine III will come
out and see you about it. He used
to work on this market and before
that he and I went to school to—
gether, though for many years I lost
track of him. I know that I can
leave the administration in his
hands." Mr. Caine said that he
wanted to give everyone :1 “square
deal.” He made an appeal for co—
operation between the live stock
and meat industries so that the men
on the farms and range will be giv-
en fair returns and unnecessary ex—
pense will not be tacked on to the
price the consumer has to pay.

Caution in Shipping Hogs

With the approach of warm
weather the transportation commit-
tee of the Chicago Live Stock EX—
change has called attention of the
railroad executives to the great
need at this time of a rigid inspec—
tion of all live stock cars and
equipment used in the transporta-
tion of hogs.

The fact has been pointed out to
them that their stock cars should
be carefully cleaned of all accumu-
lated manure and debris, and fur-
ther, that their drenching facili-
ties should be carefully overhauled
and tested so as to be in good
shape for use when needed. Also,
that the watering facilities at all
leading stations should be adequate
and in good condition.

Shippers can help immensely by
carefully preparing- their hogs for

shipment. Prepare the hogs so that
they will withstand a certain
amount of negligent handling in

transit. A happy hog during trans—
portation means more money to the
shipper, as the better chance he
has for a favorable sale by the com-
mission ﬁrm.

During 1922 there was one hog
dead out of every 450 unloaded at
Chicago. This was a mortalitwof
23-100ths of 1 per cent. During
1-923 there was one hog dead out
of every 538 into Chicago, or 19-
100ths of 1 per cent. During 1924
there was one hog dead out of ev-
ery 677 unloaded, .or 15-100ths of
1 per cent—a material reduction
each year. . >

Last year’s wheat situation may
be partly reversed this year accord-
ing to the-£39011: of the Department

 

 
  

of Agriculture for June 1. The re-
port says there is a poor crop in
sight, with likelihood of better crops
abroad. More than half the winter
wheat acreage was abandoned in ﬁve
states and nearly a quarter of the
acreage in the whole country. The
condition of the crop on May 1 was
poor, and the cold weather in May
was not reassuring. The spring
wheat crop is, of course, yet to be
made and may fare better. Canada
is said to have sown an acreage fully
as large as last year, with soil and
moisture conditions exoellent. Com—
menting on the hog situation, the-re-
port says the total supply of hogs
and pork in sight for this year is
much smaller than in any other year
since the close of the war. The re-
port says agriculture in general is
operating under more tolerable con—
ditions, according to reports, than
last year. Labor is to be had, though
at high prices. Tax delinquents are
fewer, and farm property is again
acquiring some selling value. The
better economic balance has made
itself felt in the country’s business.
Crop News Boosts Wheat

The spectacular sudden change in
the weather from warm to cold was
responsible for a quick boom in the
prices for several grains, especially
wheat, the late position of that grain
being decidedly bullish. All the in-
ﬂuences aﬁecting wheat are decidedly
bullish, including the freeze up, the
drought, and other things, and pros-
pects of a curtailed crop, but quick
sharp advances are apt to result in
large taking of proﬁts by holders.
The visible wheat supply in the Unit-
ed States was down to 37,173,000
bushels a short time ago, comparing
with 40,604,000 bushels a week
earlier and 44,066,000 bushels a year
ago, and far less wheat of last year
is expected to be carried into the
new crop year than usual. The in—
jury caused by the cold weather was
wide—sprcad and extend to early
planted corn, fruits, vegetables, etc.
But much of the corn was not plant—
ed, and the farmers in some localities
are lamenting that good seed corn
is scarce and sells up to $5 a bushel.
It is reported that many corn ﬁelds
will have to be replanted. The vis—
ible corn supply in this country is
reported at 17,303,000 bushels, com—
paring with 13,252,000 bushels a
year ago; that of cats at 37,349,000
bushels, comparing with only 7,300,-
000 bushels a year ago; and that of

’ rye. at 10,261,000 bushels, comparin

  

. J, , .

 

with 19,260,000 bushels a year agcﬁ

' Corn is in a ﬁrm position and closely

held.
.’Make Your Hogs Fat

We are liable to mistakes in pro-v.

paring hogsfor the market, as well
as in other branches of farming, but
the' safest course to pursue is to study
carefully general conditions and then
act accordingly. A Michigan farmer
writes, asking whether he shall hold
some hogs he is feeding up to the
latter of June. It looks like a
good proposition to follow this plan
if the farmer has the feed and the
hogs are doing well. Looking ahead,
the best information now obtainable
is that hogs are going to be good
property to have, but there are al-
ways extremists who exaggerate their
value, just as there are farmers who,
when hogs are declining in ‘prices,
believe they are going to sell at panic
ﬁgures.

Some surprises have taken place in
the hog trade recently, advances in
prices having spurred owners to rush
in extraordinarily liberal supplies.
For instance, 63,000 hogs were
dumped on the Chicago market on a
late Monday, causing a quick decline
of 50 cents per 100 pounds. It was
35,000 more hogs than arrived in the
market on the preceding Monday.
Recent receipts averaged well in
quality, the average weight being
238 pounds, the heaviest since last
October. Most of the time the re-
vceipts are within much more moder-
ate bounds, and eastern shippers pur-
chase a good share of the Chicago
receipts. For the year to late date
the combined receipts in seven lead-
ing western packing points aggre-
gate 12,204,000 hogs, comparing
with 9,882,000 for the corresponding
period three years ago. Prices for
hogs continue much higher than in
recent years. One year ago hogs
were selling at $6.25 to $7.45 and
two years ago at $5.85 to $7.35.
Increased Chicago receipts last week
were well taken at a decline of about
25 cents, orders being ﬁlled at the
close at $10.25 to $12.60.

, Good Demand for Cattle

The general average demand for
beef cattle from week to week in the
Chicago market is very good on the
whole, and so long as stockmen do
not ship excessive numbers prices are
well maintained, even the cheaper
kinds selling quite well. The bulk
of the beef steers offered on the Chi-
cago market recently brought $9 to
$11, with the choicest class of year-
ling steers purchased for $10.50 to
$11.60 and the best long fed heavy
steers at $10 to $11.25. Good steers
were salable at $9.50 and upward,

' WHEAT
Prices ﬂuctuated some during the
fortnight ending Saturday, May 30,
but the general trend was upward
with the market steady. The prices
at Detroit show a fair gain over
prices quoted in our last issue.
CORN
Corn has followed the trend of
wheat at Detroit and as a result
prices are slightly higher. The fu—
ture trend of prices depend on the
weather. Rain is needed badly and
if we do not get it com will be a
short crop.

OATS

What has been said for corn can
be repeated for oats, except that the
prices are not above those of. two
weeks ago.
' RYE

A fairly active demand for rye is
reported and the price at Detroit
has worked itself into a higher po-
sition. -

. BEANS
The growers are unloading their
beans too rapidly and the supply
now exceeds the demand. However,
any decided change in price is not
expected at this time.

POTATOES
The market for old stock is
steady with trading quiet. Prices
are higher on all of the large mar-
kets than they were two weeks ago.

' HAY
Hay is not very active but the
market is steady with moderate de-
mand. Receipts are small.

, Week of June 7
F the two weeks covered in this
issue of THE BUSINESS FARMER
the latter will be much the
more ideal for farm work. The
ﬁrst seven days promise more or
less storminess but the last seven
days, from the 14th to 20th inclu—
sive, there is expected to be a little
rainfall and much .w'arm, ~sunshiny
weather.
The week of June 7th begins

with temperatures much higher
than the seasonal normal. With
this condition will come strong

wind storms, amounting to toma-
does locally and heavy wind storms.
These storms will be most promin-
ent about Sunday and Monday and
again about Wednesday and Thurs-
day continuing through Friday and
Saturday.

This does not- mean that any one
section of Michigan will have these
storms all the. time during these
storm dates but it does mean that
storm conditions will be at their
height on these days and that a
great part of the state will be ef—
fected by one or another of the con—
ditions mentioned above.

About Tuesday there may be a
slight drop in temperature but the
week as a whole will produce tem-
peratures generally above the nor—
mal for June.

~ Week of June 14

This week begins with tempera-
ture slighty cooler than during the
previous days but will soon return
as storm conditions increase dur—
ing ﬁrst part of the week. About
Monday or Tuesday many parts of
the state will be visited by high
winds and g'ales on the Great Lakes
and widely scattered showers or
rains.

Temperatures will continue on
the upgrade during the week or
until about Friday when there will
be a decided drop.

During middle part of week there
will be threatening storms in the
air but aside from scattererd elec-
trical storms at this time we ex-
pect little or no precipitation. We
are looking for warm days and
nights with plenty of sunshine and
starlight.

9111 ,
TThere.will be games and a short.

North Oxford Farmers' Club Orches-
tra. It is expected that Vice-Pres.

, Kellog of the Michigan State Asso-

ciation of Farmers’ Clubs will be

lin-Almont Club will be general
chairman of the day

After the program, the Oakwood
Club will cross bats with the Oxford
Business Men's Club, the winners
to-play the Addison Club.

The whole program will be wound
up with a dance from eight to
twelve. On account of the limited
room this. will be for the members
of the different clubs and their fam-
ilies only. -

Dryden community park is a
beautiful woodedplace with a bub-
bling brook running the full length.
emptying into a small lake. There
are tennis courts, baseball grounds,
etc., with a large hall for meetings
and indoor gatherings. Major Gen-
eral Squires of Washington, D. C.
the owner, has dedicated this to the
use of the community at large, and
it is administered by a club compos-
ed of Dryden people—Lee Noble.

 

CUT WORMS THREATEN TREES

RUI’I‘ and shade trees in a con-
F siderable part of the state are
being threatened by climbing
cut worms, an extremely destructive
larvae, according to R. H. Pettit,
head of the department of entom—
ology at the Michigan State College.
The pest is unusually threatening
this year because of the prevailing
shortage of “tree tanglefoot", ac—
cording to the professor.

In the absence of the usual .tan-
glefoot Prof. Pettit advises the use
of cotton batting tied in a band
about the tree trunks. The cotton
if ﬂuﬁy will entangle the worms as
effectually as the glue substance.
However the disadvantage in its use
is that after a rain it usually be-
comes crusted and the,worms are
able to crawl over it.

Prof. Pettit also advises the use
of a bran bait at the base of trees
to be protected. His receipt for
.preparing the mixture follows;

20 pounds of wheat bran

1 pound of arsenate of soda or if
that is not obtainable, one pound of
white arsenic, (not arsenate of
lead).

MICHIGAN'

Time was, when the farmer used his automobile or truck mostly for
running into town or calling on nearby neighbors.

  

Today, good roads beckoning to every corner in Michigan, have
changed this and the farmer who 18 making full use of his automo-
bile thinks little of cranking-up for an over-Sunday trip to the far
corner of the state from where he lives. ,

And if he is making full use of that farm proﬁt-maker, the motor:truck,
he 13 taking his produce right to market where the big prices are
to be had. é, -'

But distance touring and long hauls have multiplied. the farmers’
chances of ﬁre, theft, liability and collision. '

Every automobile or truck owner is subjected to these risks and there
is only one way in which he can protect himself from them' and
_ that is safe insurance. '

Luckily the fOunders of this company recognized the need for this in-
surance before it was as readily apparent to all as it is today.

The farmers of Michigan are particularly fortunate in the fact that this
great insurance c0mpany, backed by years of successful operation
and economical and efﬁcient management, offers them insurance
at rates so low that no farmer or motor vehicle owner can afford
to be without this protection. -

If you knew of the risk you run, not another day would pass until you
were enrolled 1n , .
