WHERE THE AUTHOR OF “PIONEERING IN MICHIGAN” LIVES

HIS is “Allendale,” the ﬁne farm home of Mr. Ed. C. Allen, the author of our new story “Pioneering in Miche
igan,” who lives near LeRoy, in Osceola county. In the year of 1867, when the author was only six years
old, the Allen family came to this state but it was two years later before they located on this farm in the “wilder-
ness of Northern Michigan.” Mr. Allen has been interested in many different lines of business, along with his
' farming, but he closed out his other interests several years ago and since then has devoted his entire time to
farming and improving the place. The above picture will testify that a certain metropolitan daily did not exag—
gerate when it called the yard at Allendale, “the most beautiful farmyard in Western Michigan.” The small
building in the foreground was originally a playhouse for‘the children, but after a concrete swimming pool was
constructed around it in 1916, leaving it on an island, it was made a dressing-room or bath house, and a bridge
built to cross over to it. This is a frontview of the yard and a picture taken from the back reveals equally
beautiful grounds. The home is strictly modern in every way so Mr. and Mrs. Allen, with one daughter, have all
the comforts of a city home besides being Where they can enjoy the fresh air and nature, and be close to God,
It is here that Mr. Allen wrote our new story which begins in this issue.

BEAN GROWERS TOLD TO

HE bean association of the
Thumb district held a dinner
meeting at the Hotel Hannah,
Sebewaing, Friday evening, April 9,
with forty—one in attendance. J. E.
Warm, president of the Sebewaing
chamber of commerce, welcomed the
visitors. The bean market was dis-
cussed and it was the decided opin-
ion that the present draggy bean
market possibly is due to the fact

; that some farmers store their beams
in elevators instead of in their gran-

arles on the farm. It was argued
that if the farmers will discontinue
asking the elevator man to store
their beans the market might be
better another season. President Ay—
mer appointed a committee to look
into this matter fully and try and
devise some way of bringing about
better conditions for another “season.
The members of the committee are
Mr. Henne of Bay. Port, Mr. Atwell
of Cass City, Mr. Riedel of Saginaw,
Mr. Horton of Kinde and Mr. Ma-
rotzke of Sebewaing.

Farmers Find Wool Pooling Very Profitable

Many Report Proﬁts Through 1925 Pool At F tom Two to Ten Cents Above Price Paid Locally
By STANLEY M. POWELL

Lansing Correspondent of THE BUSINESS FAmnn.

HERE is an old legend of the ad-
ventures which befell a man by
the name of Jason who went

forth in search of the golden ﬂeece,
but, probably just at this season of
the year Michigan farmers would be
more interested in how to obtain
more gold for the ﬂeeces which re
present the 192.6 clip of their breed-
ing and feeding ﬂocks.

Two vital facts are standing out
ever more clearly in connection with
the marketing of all farm commodi-
ties. In the ﬁrst place, production
and marketing are not separate and
distinct problems, but go hand in
hand and are so closely inter-relat—
ed that they are virtually only dif-
ferent phases of the same essential
process of satisfying some human
need.
the production of good wool with
strong, uniform, dense staple, the
right breeding and care of the
sheep and the proper preparation of
the ﬂeece for market are the ﬁrst es—
sentials to be observed in seeking
the largest returns out of the wool
clip.

The second fact which we must
remember is that while the retail
price of any commodity is always
higher than the wholesale, still by
cutting down the cost of distribution
or merchandizing we can increase
the returns from our products with-
out increasing the price paid by the
ﬁnal consumer. Widespread experi-
ence with the marketing of all our
more important farm products is
demonstrating the savings which are
effected through the application of
the co-operative principle.

Wool Pooling in a Nut Shell

The commonest type of the co-op-
erative marketing of wool is
through annual pools. The wool is
assembled from the growers, graded
and sold in large lots to the mills
and other principal wool users. The
ﬁnal receipts, less the actual mar-
keting costs, are distributed to the
growers on the basis of the amount
of the various grades of wool pooled.

The ﬁrst wool pools in Michigan

were started at an unfortunate
time. The bottom dropped out of
the wool market. Growers who

couldn’t sell to advantage suddenly
decided to try the co—operative pan-
acea. When the ﬁnal results were
not totally satisfactory, they cursed

the pool idea and it appeared as if -

co—operative marketing of wool in

It is evident, therefore, that .

Michigan would not ﬂourish much
during the next few years.

But: conditions tend to right them-
selves. The management of the
Michigan pool was put on a differ-
ent basis and sales service was ar-
ranged for through the Ohio Wool
Growers’ Co-operative Association,
which is the largest and most suc-
cessful pool in this country. The
1924 and 1925 pools carried on un~
der this arrangement have been suc-
cessful and satisfactory to the
growers. Most of the poolers re-
ported that their clips netted them
considerably more than the oﬁers
of their local dealers. Careful grad—
ing and early, business-like settle-
ments won warm friends for the
pool Because of this satisfaction,
the 1925 pool was ﬁfty per cent

creased returns on his last year's
clip. Jacob Hemmes of Falmouth,
Missaukee county, remarks that
while he got 42 cents per pound
through the pool, his neighbor sold
wool of the same quality for 32
cents to a local buyer.

Fred Haight of Lake Odessa, Ion~
ia county, reports that pooling
meant $11.00 extra proﬁt on 275
pounds last season. Frank Tyrell
of Bancroft, Shiawasee county, re-
ports that when he pooled his wool
last year the local buyers offered
but 35 cents a pound. He pooled
and got 45 cents.

On the wool from our own home
farm, in Ionia county, father and I
made $12.90 extra by pooling, in—
stead of selling to the local buyer.
So the story goes. John Hoey of

larger than that of the previous
year. There is every prospect that
this year’s pool will be even larger.
Prices Mean Proﬁts

In writing to the Farm Bureau
regarding their wool p001 returns
many growers report proﬁts amount-
ing from 2 to 10 cents per pound
over local buyers’ oﬁers. For in-
stance, in 1924 Terry Barber of
Boyne City, Charlevoix county, re-
ported a net gain of $32.42 on 30
ﬂeeces sold through the pool. Then
in 1925 he reported a net gain of
$23.10 on 25 ﬂeeces. Such savings
are worth looking out for.

H. Gardner of Bradley, Allegan
county, reported that pooling his
1, 200 pounds resulted in $48. 00 in-

Dexter, Washtenaw county, credited

the pool with $85.00 extra on 1,024
pounds pooled in 1924. Thomas
Hutchins of Mt. Pleasant, Isabella

county, declared that he get nearly
$1.00 more a ﬂeece on his clip from
38‘ sheep. Geo. W. Mann of Romeo,
Macomb county, says that his 1924
wool netted him ten cents a pound
more than the prevailing local deal-
ers’ prices. The savings to the 1925
poolers were about the same.
Besides this direct saving, Michi-
gan wool growers now generally re—
alize that a vigorous and successful
wool pool is the best insurance of
fair prices from the entire wool
trade. This fact was demonstrated
repeatedly last season. It was a

common occurrence for local deal-
ers to advance their bids 5c per
pound over night when a Farm
Bureau wool marketing meeting
would be held in their locality. Thus
the beneﬁts of the wool pool were
both direct and indirect and the ef-
fort put forth in this co—operative
marketing endeavor would have
been justiﬁed from the standpoint
of price insurance, if for no other

reason.
Many careful sheep raisers espe-
cially appreciate the cooperative

system of marketing their wool, as
it allows them to sell on a graded
basis, getting the beneﬁt of the su—
perior quality product, and also se—
curing everythiug coming to .Lhem
on each grade. The old system of
selling on a ﬂat price basis placed
penalty on the producer of the bet-
ter grades of wool and subsidized
the man who kept poor wool produc-
ing sheep and was careless in han-
dling them and caring for 'his wool.
In the pool, each ﬂeece is sold on
its merits and the man with good
sheep who takes care of his wool
gets the premium, which is both rea-
sonable and just.
Freeman Endorses Pool

Touching on this phase of the
situation, Verne A. Freeman, ex-
, tension specialist in animal hus-

bandry of the Michigan State Col-
lege, one of the Very best authorities
in the state on wool marketing, de-
clares, “One of the biggest reasons
why I feel like encouraging the wool
pool is because it furnishes a real in-
centive to the grower to improve his
wool. Very few of our local dealers
understand wool well enough and
care to buy on grade so that each
grower is paid for the value of the

wool he has produced. If you are
producing good wool it certainly
pays you to ﬁnd a dealer who Will

pay in proportion to its value or else
patronize the pool. The best way to
sell the wool will depend upon local
conditions. but in general it pays to
pool the best wool or sell it to a
dealer who is interested in buying
on grade. If you have a lot of poor
wool and can ﬁnd a local dealer who
will buy it at the ﬂat rate, undoubt-
edly that is the best system of mar—
keting it. But there is at present
machinery in operation that should
encourage every wool grower in
Michigan to improve the market val-
ue of his wool.”

Should We Reduce Number of Counties to Cut Governmental Costs?

By “A MEMBER OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE”

N the average, the Michigan
taxpayer contributes seven dol-
lars for county and other local

taxes. to one dollar which goes into
the state treasury. Therefore his
interest should begsevenfold greater

in. local government costs than in

those of the state.

In fact, the rate of local taxa-
tion to state taxation is much great-
er in some counties than in others
and these are the ones in which the
burden of. taxes bears most gravi-
onsly upon the ordinary man and
woman. It is the small counties, in
which the return from the state pri-
mary school fund and other state
disbursements is much greater than
the county’s taxpayers contribute
to the state levy, in which the pinch
is felt the hardest. g

Quite apparently, then, the direc-
tion in which the people or these I-o-
calities must look for'reldef is in
their own immediate neighborhom.
All». these are the ares

'N our last issue we published the ﬁrst of a series of short articles
on taxation written by “A Member of the State Legbslature" and

rt this tune we are printing the second article.

In this article

he takes up the matter of county taxes making some suggestions on
reducing them and we will be interested in comments from our

readers.

 

 

found that they had to bring togeth-
er small companies into mergers and
form larger companies in order to
secure economy. This is the modern
way. We can lower local government
costs in the same mannér that busi-
ness men out down production costs.
The system of local government
we have is largely a heritage from a
time when life was lived within nar-
rower limits. People had to have
governmental agencies which were
very elbse at hand. The opening up
of the country ,by the automobile
and good roads has. changed this but
the change has not, as yet, been re-

ducted in our government.

The fact is evident to one who
studies the question that we have
too many counties in Michigan today
and too much county government,
with attendant cost. We have also
too much township and district gov-
ernment. To reduce taxes, the ad-
visable course is to increase the size
of the units of government and thus
cut overhead costs.

North of the lower tiers of coun-
ties, Michigan has a large number
of counties which have lost a. consi-
derable portion of their natural re-
sources and their former population.
They have less taxable property
than they had and yet they are sad—

dled with the cost of full county
government. Because they are un~
able to pay adequate salaries, they
get only fair to middling service and
yet it is expensive to them. Their
county government costs are swell‘
ing their tax bills every year.

The logical remedy for this state
of affairs is the union of smaller
counties into larger ones. Modern
The
ordinary man. does not have business
at the county seat more than a few
times a year. He can travel four or
ﬁve times as far in an hour in his
motor car as he could a few years
ago in a buggy. There would be
very little inconvenience to the great
body of citizens through merging of
counties.

True, such a change would dis-
place many persons who are now
holding ofﬁce, but they would get
other employment and, because of
the low wages they now get, would
eventually be better off than at pres,~
ant.

A glance at the map will suggest
many such possible combinations of

SUPPLY AND DEMAND
EAR EDITOR: It is so generally
talked that “Supply and De-
mand” should govern prices
that we do not give it enough seri-
ous thought, as if there is no limit
to it for low or high prices. Our de—
mand is surely the same when there
is plenty as it is when scarce. We
eat three times a day, buy, clothing,
medicine, etc, each year alike if we
get what we actually need, so our
demand does not change.

When one particular crop can be
sold at a high price farmers are
quite apt to plant more of it than is
needed and less of other crops,
which, of course, will make the
supply too much on one crop and
not enough on the other. Then if
there is a good crop,’the “Food Spec-
ulator” puts the price way down so
he can buy a lot of it, hoard it up
to sell the next year for a big price.
Next year the farmer will plant but
little of that crop and then comes
the cry of scarcity of this crop, with
a lot stored away for big prices.
The farmer next year buys at a big
price some of the same things he
sold the year before at a shamefully
10w price,'so the poor farmer who
must sell in the fall, gets a low
price, While others the next spring
have to pay unreasonable prices.
That same trick has been played for
years and works continually as good
as ever.

Crops do not yield the same each
year. Some years certain crops are
very poor, yielding less than half
the ordinary yield while other crops
are twice as good as the year be-
fore, mainly,because of the season,
so there is no way of keeping the
supply the same each year. We can
only raise crops in the summer, so
in the fall the supply is great. Then
down goes the price. Is this right?
The storage man makes the low
price when buying much and selling
but little; also makes the price
when not much to buy and thus sell-
ing of what he had stored. away then
he puts the price high when a thing
is scarce. He is taking it from the
poor and letting it go to the rich.

Let the price be made by a commit—
tee that doesn’t proﬁt by it. Food
Speculators will ﬁght against any
system of ﬁxed prices. Farmers will
come back to their farms, hire help
at a fair price if guaranteed a regu-
lation in prices. When a farmer is
sure to get a low price for a good
crop he never can prosper. He has
no protection or encouragement to
go back to his farm—A. McG., Fre-
mont, Mich.

A SPRING TONIC

, EAR EDITOR: Many years ago,

while working about the coun-

try, I read an article that pur—
ported to be part of the Congression-
ail record. My remembrance is that
during a stormy session a western
member sought an appropriation for
a territory used largely for grazing.
His Colleage, also from a Western

 

state taunted the sponsor of the bill ,

with the remark that “the territory"
was good for nothing but to grow a
little grass anyway. Which called
on speaker number one to get to the
ﬂoor in defence of the measure and
also to leave us one of the “gems of
oratory” which I will try and give in
substance. “What statesman, espec-
ially a representative from a west—
ern state, would try and defeat a.
meritorious measure on the grounds
that the territory to ‘be beneﬁted
was good for nothing but to grow
grass? No statesman! For lying
in the sunshine among the dande-
lions and the buttercups of May
with an intelligence scarcely great-
er than the tenants of that mimic

’wilderness, our earliest recollections

are of grass. Sown by the winds.
by the wandering birds, propagated
by those subtile agencies of agricul-
ture which are its ministers and ser-

Thorough cultivation and good
seed contribute largely to the rais-
ing of any crop.

But no matter how well the soil is
prepared or how strong and vigor-
ous the seed, the best yields can-
not. be produced unless the seed is
put in the ground properly.

It should be deposited in the ground
and covered at an even depth in
order that it will grow and ripen
evenly, producing a uniform
quality of grain.

Making Garden _
BOUT the 15th of March we
A plowed part of our graden and
on the 19th sowed several rows -
of peas and also planted lettuce,
onions, etc. It is seldom the early
« plantings of
, these vegetables
[prove a \tailur‘e
and we are al-
ways anxious to
get "something
planted." It was
a little cold for
planting e a r l y
potatoes so these
were not planted
until the ﬁrst of
A p r i l. 'M a n y
4‘ ﬁelds of oats and
L. w. MEEKS barley were sown
about April lst
and our roads were as dry and nice
as they ever are in midsummer. In
fact the dust was quite bad. Pas-
ture ﬁelds began to show green, and
summer time seemed well started.
It may be easier to believe the above

 

statements as referring to the
spring of 1925, and that, in fact,
was the season referred to. A state-

ment of conditions for the same
period of this gladsome year of 1926
would be something like the follow-
ing—Ground frozen three feet deep,
snow drifted in many places and
some roads being shoveled out; traf—
ﬁc, even on improved roads almost
impossible; inland lakes frozen over
solid; not a sign of green thing
anywhere—no prospect of summer
in sight.

All this variation in seasons is a.
part of the handicap a farmer has
to expect. It seems he can have no
hard and fast rule for his business
like nearly all other industries have.
I imagine the great factories at
River Rouge are turning out as
many cars and tractors today, with
this weather of mud slush and ice,
as they would if the weather was
seasonable and bright. One good
thing about this cold weather, it
keeps the ﬂy time from approaching
at normal speed, and no swallows
are nesting in chimneys just yet!

A little farther south the weath—
er has been some diﬂerent, but not
normal. The fore part of March
found many, who had orders for
seed potatoes on our books, writing

for immediate shipment. These or-
ders, of course, were shipped at
once, at their risk. Now comes

word from them something like this,
“Potatoes arrived, they are nice po-
tatoes, but at least one third of them
were frozen.” This brings back the
practicability of these southern
planters securing their early seed
potatoes in the fall. If they would
purchase in the fall, and have ship—
ment made at that time, they would
be ready for early spring planting
when their season came, and not
dependent on shipping conditions
here in Michigan. But it seems quite
impossible to get them to anticipate

week after this, the branch. house
with whom he was dealing, wrote
him that a train load had been mis-
placed somewhere, and shipment
could not be made at once. It was
about four weeks before we received
our harvester, and after waiting and
waiting, we pulled the beans by
hand“ We did use the puller‘ for
about twenty minutes to ﬁnish one
piece. Why didn’t we order it ear-
lier? That’s the question, and its
answer is found in the fact that we
depended too much on everything
working and being normal. If there
had been bean pullers in stock at
the branch houSe as there generally
are, and everything else had been
timely in making shipment and
transportation, we should have had
plenty of time; however there are so
many things that may delay an or-

enough to order accordingly. But
will we?

Grain on Shares

Here is a question concerning put-
ting grain in by ﬁelds on shares.
This man has a chance to sow some
oats on a neighboring farm, and the
question is, Should be entitled to
one half the straW?IZI{-'7

In the ﬁnal anal sis, he should
have the straw or leave it according
to his agreement, but what the
agreement should be is the question.
To the writer it has always‘seemed
the straw was a part of the crop
just as much as stalks are part of
the corn crop. Some land owners
contend they can’t keep up their
farms and let half the straw be
drawn away. I’ll go, on record as
saying it will take more than the
straw a farm produces to keep up'
the fertility of that farm!

I once knew a farmer who let his
ﬁelds and would not let the tenant
take any straw away. This farmer
let the straw stacks stand; and rot
down here and there in ﬁeld corners
nearly all over the farm. I don’t
know that any were ever drawn out
and plowed under. He sowed tim~
othy alone for a hay crop and then
let the crop be cut on shares—half
of' it being removed from the farm.
It seems he had rather a vague idea
of maintaining the fertility of his
farm.

For several years I worked some
ﬁelds for a man who would not al-
low any straw removed from the
place. He, however made excellent
use of the straw, and always sowed
clover to plow under. His land was
eagerly sought by those who wanted

TEXT: “Be subject therefore unto
God; but resist the devil and he will
flee from you. Draw nigh to God and
he will draw nigh to you.”

HE special call to puriﬁcation
survives the Lenten season.
Standing in awe of one’s sin is

always the high call of the Spirit.
There are awful potentialities in
one’s naked self; but there are also
high possibilities. Jesus would fan
the good into a holy ﬂame; but the
evil one would fan the bad into a
hell of ﬁre. Be afraid to cherish
and induge the smallest act of sin
lest the whole life become incurably
set against the royal law of God.
The exhortation of our text will help

“Be subject therefore unto God."
The trained tendency of the Jewish
mind to a blind trust in the sup-
posed magic of keeplng the “whole
law” gave him ﬁckle power against
the temptations of the world. James
would correct this disposition by
substituting Christ for law. This
makes for a perfect faith—resistance
against evil. And surely, rules and
laws cannot make one vital and obe—
dient in nature. Churches have
foolishly sought to Keep their mem-
bers Within the bounds of Christian
propriety much thru the appeal to
law. This virtue carried to extreme
is a weakness. It is suitable here to
recall that Abraham Lincoln refused
membership in the churches because
of this overemphasis of creed and
law. Here are his signiﬁcant words:
“I have never united myself to any
church, because I have found diffi-
culty in giving my assent, without
reservation, to the long complicated
statements of Christian doctrine
which characterize their Articles of
Belief and Confessions of Faith.
When any church will inscribe over
its altar as its sole qualiﬁcation for
membership, the Savior’s condensed
statement of the substance of both
.Law and Gospel, ‘Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all
thy mind, and thy neighbor as thy-
self’ that“ church will I join with all
my heart and with all my soul.” All
this is a great faith in a. great man.
Most of us believe that Lincoln’s
character and distinction were due
to a bowed submission to his God.
And this, for every soul is the Alpha
and Omega of right living.

America’s law books cannot make
her righteous. But, the Christ of
God’s book can. The writer is little
concerned about a federal law or
amendment that announces Jesus

Christ as the head of our nation:
but he knows that Christ must be
written in the conscience of this
country to save her. Perhaps we
have no greater imperfection now
than the belief that more laws on
the statute books will make the peo—
ple good. Legislation has in it no
creative goodness. It lacks the bas-
ic urge that motivates conduct. The
Jewish nation had much reverence
for law, but it lacked reverence for
God. Her Messiah would help her
out of her racial and national pride,
but she would not. She held fast to
law and rejected her King. She was
sentenced by her own captivity. And
America? Well, if she wOuld take
her lace among the kingdoms of
our rd and his Christ, she must
have not only respect for *Caesar,
but uppermost a desire to keep her
heart close to God.

back was not easy but the home
welcomewas complete. The turn-
ing point in the career of men and
nations is reached when they are
willing to become subjects of God
and enjoy the high privileges. of
servanthood.

It is then we can “resist the devil
and he will ﬂee from us.” But our
wills are strengthened in God not in
a day. It is tedious, self-denying,
and painful effort. It takes the ri-
gor and earnestness that cuts off the
hand or plucks out the eye that the
personality might be saved. But
many humor themselves away from
such a strenuous life. These are too
good to themselves. They are hired
servants of sin. They lean toward
that which may be desirable rather
than toward that which they know
to be right. They have done this so
long that their wills have become
prodigal. Anyway, they say it does-
n’t matter much for they expect to
be saved thru the merit of Christ.
the merit of Christ does not obtain
for such white-livered religionists.

The apostle James makes earnest
protest against such a craven life.
He calls such “adulteresses” and
“double-minded.” He makes clear
the truth that every one who wills
it so has power to drive off the devil.
If it was not so Satan would be the
tyrant of our souls and God would
be defeated in his own body. But

What fallacy and superstition yet ‘
abides in much of our faith.

“Draw nigh to God and he will
draw nigh to you.” Of course,
drawing nigh to God is to withdraw
from evil. But this requires the
consent and cooperation of the will.
Our own salvation, therefore, de-
pends upon voluntary choice and
steadfastness, and not upona turn
of fate or presuming on imputed
righteousness. God strives and co-
operates with us when he can. But
when he can’t, it is to allow evil to
take its course in the hardening of
life.

The apostle calls us to self-exam-
ination; to draw nigh to God’s mir-
ror, Jesus Christ, to see what kind
we are. Then, the way we live after-
wards determines what class to
which we belong. Christ is here to
save the lost. When is one last?
Not as when one is in a deep forest
and does not know the way to go.
We know. Let ‘us examine our-
selves. One is lost when he fails to
use his body, knowledge, and money
to spiritualize himself and his en-
vironment. Who knows to What
heights of power and blessing one
would be lifted if one would but
listen to the whisperings of Christ
within? Jesus Christ lived to spir-
itualize all life, and thus he became
a perfect expression of God. But he
must have his chance to do this thru
your life and mine. This is to be
saved.

WILL try to give the true story of our coming to Michigan and settling
I on our place in 1869, as well as the events leading up to that time,
also those following. Many of the ﬁrst settlers had similar experiences,
some much worse. -

I might state right here that in October, 1869, I was but little more
than eight years old and cannot claim any credit for being one of the
ﬁrst pioneers except as a noted doctor has said, “If you wish success in
any line you must select the right parents,” and I could have made no
better selection, as my experience and recollections of the two years pre-
ceding our settling on this farm, and the several years following, although.
deprived of school, I would not exchange for an equal time in any school
I know of.

So with my father, Capt. Stephen H. Allen, as the real hero, I must
start my story back in 1833 when he, as a boy of little more than ﬁfteen
years old, left his home near Dover, England, after having his adventurous
spirit awakened by reading Robinson Crusoe. He sailed for Rio de Janeiro,
South America, soon after arriving there he joined another ship'for a long
voyage, stopping at the Falkland Islands, then uninhabited, where a few
of the ships crew were left to start a colony. The vessel (Actean) then
continued on her way rounding Cape Horn and stopping at the principal
Paciﬁc ports, but best of all at the Island of Juan Fernandez, for water,
where the crew visited the place where Alexander Selkirk was marooned and
lived from October, 1705 to January 31. 1709, when rescued by Capt.
Woods Rogers. and from whose experiences the story of Robinson Crusoe
was written.

After many long days of sailing the ship reached San Francisco, from
there father sailed to China. then to the Philippines, India, Australia and
Africa, rounding _:lie Cape of Good

could with the family, father and mother and four boys, the oldest boy only
fourteen and the youngest four, we left for the “Wilds of Michigan” taking
the overland route, there being no railroads or other means, of transporta-
tion. My recollection of the journey is very clear. We passed through
South Bend, Niles and Dowagiac. A short distance beyond the latter place
we met another “Prairie Schooner” returning from the north, and the
driver advised my father to turn back, as it would not be safe to go into

the north woods at that time with nothing to do that would bring returns

in less than a year, and no means to supply the family or team with food.
So it was decided to push on to Kalamazoo, where we learned what the
driver of the prairie schooner had told us was true, and father decided to
rent a farm a few miles north of the city, where the town of Cooper now
stands. The old log house was on the railroad right-of—way, so when the
grade was started the next year it went close to our door.

Father got a job with his team that winter hauling 4-foot cordwood to
Kalamazoo, and the next year in August, 1868, father, in company with a.
friend, Henry Cummings, started out on foot to ﬁnd homesteads in the
north woods. They wanted rolling, hardwood land, clear from any swamps
or pine woods, the latter being looked upon as being poor soil for farming.

They walked to Ionia where the state land oﬂfice was located, secured
plats and some information regarding the quality of the soil and its loca-
tion. They decided on northern Osceola county.

Not being expert cruisers they failed to take a gun and belt-ax, or pack
with food, depending on purchasing as they went, but as they got farther
north and settlers were few and far between, they had to stock up with a
pack of food. Then came miles of unbroken forest, and after days of weary
travel they found they had reached Township 19-(N-8-W at the N-VV corner

ing an Irishman, decided not to
sleep any more that night but kept
the ﬁre blazing until morning, when
they resumed their journey.

Father, instead of going into the

Arctic regions, joined another ves-

sel of the Navy ﬁtting out for the coast of Africa, where he spent several
years capluriig slave vessels, as the British Government was engaged in
stopping the slave traffic, and his experience in this would make a very
interesting book. He was in the Kafﬁr war in South Africa where he re—
ceived a saber wound. and in 1847 was sent to Vera Cruz, assisted in the
landing of Old Santa Ana, and in maintaining England’s neutrality during
the Mexican War. ‘ _

In 1850 he was sailing on a passenger line between Liverpool and
New York City when he met Miss Eliza Conway, then only nineteen years
old, on her way to New York City; they became acquainted on this voyage,
which took nine weeks and ﬁve days and on March 7th. 1852, were married
in New York City by the Rev. Dr. Burdell, in whose honor this township
in Osceola county was named. After this event his sailing was conﬁned to
the coast trade between New York City, Savannah, New Orleans and West
Indian points.

In 1857 he decided to ﬁnd a home in the west and came to Chicago,
where he soon again was sailing, but now on the Great Lakes. While mate
of a lumber vessel plying between Chicago, Michigan and Wisconsin ports.
he looked over some lands in Michigan along the shore of Lake Michigan,
which do not give one a favorable impression of our state for farming. so
in 1860 he tried farming on the Illinois prairie lands near DeKalb. which
he followed for a year, but owing to the strong winds and lack of timber
for fuel or building. and wheat only bringing 30c per bushel at that time
and having to be hauled nine miles to market, he moved back to Chicago
in, August 1861. about a month before my birth.

at Plymouth, Indiana. where he also rented a farm only a mile from town

» upon a small log cabin in the dense
forest and hills near Section 14-T‘-20-N—9-W. This was a welcome sight.
Not only was it the ﬁrst settler they had seen for many miles, but their
food was exhausted and they hoped to get a new supply. They found the
cabin contained an old man, his wife and three children, tw0 girls and a.
boy, ranging in ages from eight to ﬁfteen. The old man on being told of
their need of food said it would please him to supply their wants if it were
possible, but that he and his family were near the end of their supply. He
then showed them a small sack of about 10 pounds of corn meal, which he
told them must last his family until the return of his oldest son who had
gone “outside” to ﬁnd work and earn enough to bring in a fresh supply.
This seemed a sad case but it was not the only one in the north woods at
that time.

Spinks’ Cabin

They learned from the old gentleman that some one had settled on Sec-
tion 29 and they might ﬁnd him by ﬁnding the blazed trail. This they
tried to do and. when nearly discouraged they saw a marked tree on
which was written “One mile to Spinks' Cabin." This gave them new hope
and they hurried on, but on reaching the cabin they were disappointed to
ﬁnd it deserted. However, before leaving in the spring Mr. Spinks had
planted a garden, and beans, peas, cucumbers, etc., were growing very pro-
liﬁc, which not only helped to satisfy their hunger but gave them faith in
the soil for growing crops.

It being new near night they planned to sleep in the cabin. At dawn
the next morning they started, watching the blazed trail, but had not
gone far when a shout of joy went up, on one of the marked trees was
written “One Mile to Newberry Settlement.” They made haste to reach
this settlement, as they had been on short rations for a couple of days and
were starting out without breakfast. However, on reaching the “Settle-
ment” they felt disappointed in ﬁnd—
ing only one small cabin about 12x

OUTWORM TIME
PRINGTIME is the poetic time of
singing birds and bursting buds
but, alas, it is also cutworm
time. These busy night raiders at-
tack a large variety of crops and are
particularly de-

sandy soil. New-
ly set g a r d e n
plants and seed-
lings, tomatoes,
melons, etc., are
t h e i r specialty.
Sometimes d e'w-
berries and rasp-
berries are se-
rverely attacked
and one season
we e v e n s a w
-». them out OK po-
Herbert Naleger tato Sprouts as
fast as these ap—
peared above ground. These crops
can be successfully protected by the
use of poisoned bait. A little of the
bait is placed around the base of.
each plant late in the day, or, if ne-
cessary it can also be lightly broad—
cast. The poison bait formula re-
commended by M. S. C. is 20 pounds
of wheat bran, 1 pound arsenate of
soda, 1/2 gallon molasses, 2 ounces
banana oil, and enough water to
moisten the mixture.

The climing cutworms which climb
fruit trees and grape vines early in
the spring and eat off the tender
buds are the ones in which fruit
growers are especially interested.
These pests are particularly bad on
certain farms and often on certain
parts of a farm, but if the land is
sandy they are apt to spread over a
whole neighborhood in a few years.

In our own case they ﬁrst ap—
peared in destructive numbers on a
neighboring farm and for several
years we smiled at our good fortune
in being exempt, while our neighbor
moaned and groaned, and plastered
his peach trees with tanglefoot. He
told of picking hundreds off of one
tree by lantern light and in bad sea-
sons I have seen themso numerous
that unprotected trees would be lit-
erally alive and quivering with them
and grape trellises ‘would look like
a parade of tight rope walkers. With
daylight they will all disappear into
the ground or crawl under bits of
rough bark, only to sally forth again
at night like robbers from their
dens.

Our exemption from climbing cut-
worm raids did not last many years,
and one season a corner of a peach
orchard and an acre of early grapes
were completely stripped of buds
and the crop destroyed. That was
our warning that the cutworms had
crossed the line and Were advancing,
so now ﬁghting cutworms is one of
the regular spring jobs on all of the
sandy portions of our place. We
have tried out various ways of con-
trolling climbing cutworms on fruit
trees and grape vines and have ﬁn~
ally learned to depend entirely on
tanglefoot. Poisoned bait was found
to be almost useless. It killed many
worms ’tis true, but many more
passed it up and feasted on the
fruit buds. Cotton or wool bands
we found were not satisfactory when
hundreds of trees and vines had to
be treated but on a limited planta-
tion they are very good. Cut thin
strips of batting about four inches
wide. Wrap a strip 114 times around
the trunk of a tree or vine and tie
it on with a string. Make the tie at
the bottom of the strip and then roll
the top part down over the string.
This makes a cup-shaped barrier
which is pretty sure to stop Mr. Cut-
worm.

On a fruit farm of any size tan-
glefoot is the best bet as a. cutworm
stopper. The general directions on
the can recommend a band 3 to,5
inches Wide and 1/16 'of an inch
thick torbe applied on the trunk.
This amount is unnecessary for cut-
worms. A narrow band, just enough‘
to encircle the trunk without leaving
any bare spots. in the .eircle will
stop the" worms. It is best to apply
the tanglefoot as late as possible be-
fore the buds._Swell'- because’dirt and

It would almost seem that this beauti-
ful,capable Oakland Six was expressly
designed for country use. Its rugged
construction and powerful six-cylin-

bad roads and hard work. Advanced
engineering features contribute still
further to the car’s capacity to serve
strenuously and live long. Air Cleaner
excludes dust and dirt; Oil F ilterkeeps
lubricant clean and pure; Full

Pressure Oiling insures a constant
ﬂow of oil to all working parts; The
Harmonic Balancer prevents vibra-
tion and reduces wear. You desire
all of these features in your next car
—.you demand the very utmost in
reliability and economy—and only
Oakland offers this combination
at prices so unexpectedly low.

WILL YOU HELP US HELP YOU?

VERYONE likes to know how the other fel-
low is getting along. You like to know if
his crops are coming along better than

yours, and you are interested in the progress he
is making with his work. You like to know
when he begins harvesting the various crops,
and when he begins to take them to market.
We want to publish this information in each issue
of THE BUSINESS FABMER, keeping all of you
posted on agricultural conditions in general
throughout the state, and if you will help us
we can do this in a big way. Will you help?

We would like to have at least tw0 subscribers
in each county in the state to act as ofﬁcial crop
reporters of their territory, and then at least
once a month, and twice if possible, they would
send to us for publication brief reports of farm—
ing operations and crop conditions in their vicin—
ity. The reports from the different counties
would be published and thus give our subscrib—
ers a word picture of how farming operations
were coming along, and if there was going to be
a shortage of a certain crop in one locality and
an abundance in another, and so forth.

How many will volunteer to do this work?
Don’t hold back thinking someone else will step
forward, because you might be the only one from
your section who could see their way clear to take
a few moments once every two weeks to write
up a. brief report. There will be no expense to
you in any way, just a fw moments of your time.
We will furnish everything, which includes post-
age. This is a real opportunity to help your
fellow farmer and yourself at the same time.
Drop us a line right away, please.

 

OUR NEW STORY

UR new story, “Pioneering in Michigan", by
Mr. Ed. C. Allen, which begins on page 10
of this issue, will be the most popular of

any serial we have published to date, we believe.
Being a true story of the trials and tribulations
of an early settler in this state it will hold your
interest throughout, and “old timers” will recall
some of the instances mentioned, or similar ones
will be remembered.

The author takes us back to the days when
anything north of Kalamazoo was in the “Michi-
gan wild", when he was but a small lad, and
tells of the early struggles of the Allen family
to hew a farm out of the forest. Mr. Allen,
who lives near LeRoy, Osceola county, is a
farmer, not a professional writer, and tells for
the ﬁrst time his story to be published in our
columns. Do not miss this ﬁrst installment.

After reading “Pioneering in Michigan” per—
haps many old settlers may be interested in tell—
ing the story of their early struggles in this
state. We will be glad to hear from them.

 

FIRE PROOF ROOFING

URING 1925 ﬁre losses in Michigan amounted
to $19,664,324, we learn from the report
of Frank D. Lane, state ﬁre marshal, with
defective chimneys, heating apparatus, stove
pipes, etc., the greatest known cause. The larg-
est number of ﬁres was caused by sparks alight—
ing on shingle roots and the loss amounted to
well over two millions of dollars. If we had

the country often the house is beyond saving
before the ﬁre is discovered, and even though
warning is sounded shortly after it starts most
farm houses are doomed because of little, if any,
ﬁre ﬁghting equipment. Fire proof rooﬁng
would save thousands ‘upon thousands of dollars
worth of farm property every year if all build-
ings were roofed with it, a fact that farmers
are fast realizing.

One of the largest mutual ﬁre insurance com-
panies in the state recently became bold enough
to give a special rating to policy holders with
ﬁre proof rooﬁng on their buildings. This was
a most forward move and without a doubt other
companies will follow the example set. Also it
is rumored that the next legislature will be asked
to act on a bill to prevent the use of wood
shingles except under certain conditions.

The next rooﬁng job you do onyour buildings
see to it that it is ﬁre proof and you will elimim
ate a great ﬁre hazard.

POOLING lVIICHIGAN WOOL

HE Michigan wool pool for 1925 left a dif-
ferent taste in the mouths of the sheep
raisers of the state than it did the ﬁrst year

of its organization. Due to many causes, some
beyond the control of any human agency, the
early life of the pool was a hectic one. The
bottom was out of the market and opposition
from some independent dealers was strong be-
cause it practically spelled the death of their
business if the pool was a great success. It was
a failure and short-sighted farmers condemned
the idea, but a few knew it could be made a
success under right conditions and reorganized
under a different plan. The 1925 pool is evi-
dence that their faith is being rewarded and in—
dications are that this Year’s pool will be much
larger.

A complete story of the 1925 wool pool appears

on page three of this issue.

NO ANNUAL LICENSE FEE

T is interesting to note that the joint legisla-
tive highway committee of Ohio, after a
thorough study of highway ﬁnancing and

automobile taxes, has stated its intentions to
recommend to the 1927 General Assembly of
that state that the annual license fee be elimin—
ated and a permanent registration fee of $1 be
substituted, also the gasoline tax increased from
2 to 3 cents on a gallon. Those of you who have
followed our editorials for the past several
months will recall that this is the same plan
that has been advocated and recommended by us
at various times for Michigan.

In our estimation there is no way of paying,
for the highways that would be more popular
with the public than this. The elimination of
the annual fee would meet with the most hearty
approval of all. The gasoline tax has always
had its oppondnts, and always will have, but the
general public will admit that it is a fair way

When a gas tax was ﬁrst discussed for Michi-
gan some declared it would hurt the tourist bus-

  

   

iness, also home folks would not use their cars,

as much as usual, and as a result the tax would
be a failure. But was it? Well, hardly. The
total amount collected passed by far the largest
estimate of ‘the warmest friends of the tax.
Tourists paid without a murmur because they
were used to paying it in other states, and home
folks found it was not as bad as they thought.

We hope that before another session of our
state legislature our lawmakers will give much
serious thought to this matter and be prepared
to work for a law to do away with the annual
license fee and in its place let us have a perman-
ent registration fee, and then increase the gas-
oline tax sdﬂlcient to take care of the building
and maintaining of our highways. Voters should
tell their representatives at Lansing their desires
and urge that they do some active work team
such a change made.

POISONOUS PROPAGANDA

XPORTATION of American apples to for-
E eign countries has grown to-large propor-

tions and is every important factor in re-
lieving the pressule on our home markets in
years of heavy production.

American growers therefore have been much
concerned over a recent campaign of “poison"
propaganda ,carried on in England against the
American fruit. The propagandists claim that
poisoning cases and even deaths have been caused
by eating American apples which have been
sprayed with lead arsenate. The matter has
been vigorously pushed by the English author-

ities, retailers have been arrested for selling

“poisoned fruit”, their newspapers made a great
to-do about it, and consumers over there are
terribly wrought over it all. The whole thing
would be a comedy of errors were it not for the
present and future damage to our apple trade in
England.

Spray residues are said to be greater on apples
grown in the arid western regions than on those
grown in Michigan but nevertheless the amount
of poison adhering to the apples after they are
packed is so small as to be practically nothing.
Experts say that an enormous number of heavily
sprayed apples would have to be consumed at
one sitting by one person to obtain even a- medic-
inal dose such as a physician would prescribe.
As for sickness or death resulting from this
source is concerned; the very idea is ridiculous.

What then is behind all this poison rumpus?
Some say it is a .move to discredit American

fruit to the advantage of the foreign grown. -‘

Others advance the idea that it is a manner of
hitting back at America because this country has,
for sanitary reasons, put a. quarantine on various
foreign fruits, bulbs, shrubs, etc. At any rate
it is hard to understand why the English folks

should suddenly become so susceptible to “1301- .

soning” after years of eating millions of
barrels of sprayed apples each year with no re-
sults other than good health to all.

An apple a day still keeps the doctor away and
3 or 4 a day are better than one.

REAL LOADS OF POTATOES

ECENTLY an Isabella county farmer, Ike
Denslow, delivered a 226—bushel load of
potatoes in Remus, and believed that he had
established a state record for the number of
bushels in any one load delivered at any point.
That did .' ,m like a pretty good record until
Walter Collard, a Montcalm county farmer, de-
livered a load of potatoes in Lakeview that
weighed 30,450 pounds, or 507179 bushels. The
potatoes were put up in 203 sacks of 150 pounds
each and delivered on a large logging sleigh
hauled by a four—horse team. There was over
$1,000 worth of spuds in the one load. Some dif-
ference from what they were worth "10 or 20
years ago.
We haven't heard any Michigan potato grow-
ers recently refer tr old times as “those were
the days.”

LUTHER BURBANKS

N the passing of Luther Burbanks this country
lost one of the greatest plant 'wizards it has
ever known. He died at the age of 77 at

his home at Santa Rosa, California, surrounded

ENLARGED PICTURES

About ﬁve years ago a solicitor
for the Chicago Portrait Company
canvassed this locality with a sort
of chance draw if you got a lucky
number you had a chance of having
two pictures enlarged at what he
called a special price, $15 for the
two. Some time afterward two
other agents made the delivery of
the pictures. Of course the ﬁrst
fellow had it arranged so everyone
who would bite at all, drew a lucky
number. I signed an order to have
two pictures enlarged, which I ex—
pected to get with frames for $15.
They claimed this special price was
made for an advertisement. When
the delivery was made the two pic—
tures I had ordered were all in
frames, and they asked me if I want-
ed to pay in currency or by check
and I handed him $15 in currency.
After he got his hands on my money
he told me I must pay $30 more-
and when I objected to this he was
going to take the pictures away with
him. I signed a note for the $30
in order to save the $15 he already
had. When he left, he left three
other pictures which I had never
ordered and did not want. Now they
propose to sue me for the amount of
the note. Can they get a judg-
ment, as this was one of the rotten-
est skin games that ever came thru
this locality. ——C. M., Cheboygan
County.

E advised our subscriber to let
Wthem sue if they felt inclined
because we did not believe. he
would have to pay the note for $30
for the pictures, but would have a
good defense in a suit against him
to collect. The company knows this
too well and we doubt if they do
more than send threatening letters.
If an enlarged picture agent calls
on you do not waste words with him
but give him a good start down the
road by applyingyour foot vigorous-
ly to the most likely spot on his an-
atomy—and then sic the dog onto
him.

EVER HEAR OF THIS SCHEME?
E are in receipt of a letter
from an Ogemaw county sub-
scriber and he wants informa-

tion regarding a. letter he received

fro ma B. H. McHarg, of Medicine

Mound, Texas. The letter reads as

follows:

“Dear Customer: Your order for
one ring, with remittance of $8.00,
has been received.

“We beg to advise you that the
price of this ring has been advanced
to $9.98. Upon receipt of the en-
closed Credit Voucher, with an addi-
tional $1.98, we will mail you the
ring.

“We suggest that you mail your
letter at once, as we have only a
limited number of these rings in
stock.

“Thanking you for your patronage,
to remain, Yours very truly, B. H.
McHarg."

There were several reasons for
making us suspicious of this man
and his ring proposition. First, our
subscrber wrote that he never sent
any money to this man, in fact he
ever heard of him bfore receiving
this letter. Second, the letter was

not typewritten, but printed on a
press, which indicates that this same
letter

went to hundreds, maybe

SAIER. SM

N this page in our February
27th issue we published the de-
tails regarding a deal one of

our Leelanau subscribers had with
the Saier Poultry Company, of Lan—
sing. You will recall that she sent
$12 to this company for 100 chicks
and then was not able to get the
chicks or a refund of her money,
and even our letters failed to get
any results. Naturally we concluded
if nothing was going to be done to
right this wrong we should warn
other readers and so we published
the matter. Shortly after one of our
representatives was in Lansing and
paid a personal Visit to Mr. Saiers
and convinced him he should settle
this debt. Shortly after, we were in-
formed by this man that the matter
was adjusted. We wrote our sub—
scriber who advised that her money
had been refunded.

ATLAS CODIPANY MOVES

About Nov. 30, I sent an order for
home sewing and embroidery, en-
closing a check for $5 for material,
to the Atlas Mfg. Co., 139 North
Clark Street, Chicago, ill. 1 never
received either the sewing or any
letter or word of any kind from the
company. I waited nearly two
months and then wrote them a let-
ter asking foir either the money
back or the material I had ordered.
This letter was returned to me
marked “Moved—left no address."
They cashed my check alright. Kind-
ly see what can be done as I cannot
aﬂord to lose the money.———Mrs. B.,
Evart, Mich.

UR subscriber will have to "at—

ford" to lose the money be-

cause if the company has mov-
ed and left no address it is impossi—
ble for us to locate them. Like many
of the so-called ”work—at-home”
schemes they were a fraud. Many
of these schemes should be called
“working the folks in the home” in-
stead of “work-at-home."

 

TRADERS BROKERAGE COMPANY
HE Traders Brokerage Company,

of Kansas City, Mo.,, operated

by J. L. Hurst, who took over

the defunct business of H. C. Schau—
ble, publisher of the Investor’ s Daily
Guide, has been closed up by a fraud
order. The scheme was to obtain
money from would-be “traders” in

company would act as broker for
them, when in fact no actual trades
were conducted. Bucketing prac—

tice, in brief, was applied to grain
futures. Classiﬁed newspaper ad-
vertisements and mailing pieces

Were used to obtain customers.

 

CHARGED WITH FRAUD

ANY so«called literary bureaus

and song writing companies

Uncle Sam recently. Among the
many to have fraud orders issued
against them are: Knickerbocker
Harmony Studios, 1110., Authors and
Composers Institute of America,
Music Publishers Press, and Equita-
ble Music Corporation, all of New
York City, and operated by one
Harold B. Kohler. Amounts from
$10 to $50 were obtained from many
youthful aspirants.

DARE WE FAIL? '

Our lives may.be good and useful
Tho ’will be of small avail.

Most our doings will be rueful,

If bur children we should fail.

  
   
 
 

We are what our training made us;
They will be as they are trained.

Lest in the future they upbraid us',
Be their playmates now and friends.

Time will come when they will harken
Back to days, when they were small,
Lat no bitter memories darken
Dreams of youth, nor ﬁll with gall.

Their recollections of their childhood,
Let them happy be and bright,

That, like a beacon, in a tideﬂood;
They will guide youth’s “Ship of Life.”

—By Mrs. R. E. Ryding, Tuscola County.

AN EXCELLENT LETTER
HAVE planned to write so many
times and put it off until now.
I am almost ashamed to write

but I do so want to air my views on
several subjects.

There was a splendid letter in a
recent issue about not trying to
keep the boys and girls on the farm.
I murmured an “Amen” when I ﬁn—
ished it. If the parents themselves
love the farm, are contented and
happy and proud of being farmers,
the children are quite apt to be also
unless especially talented for other
work. The farm is the best place
to bring up a family but when they
are grown up they should be free.
There isn’t anything that will drive
them away any quicker than to be
made to feel that they have got to
_stay.

Some time ago there was a splen-
did appeal made, please not to
name the baby boy after his father.
That letter should have been print—
ed in capital letters to ﬁll the whole
page. Give the boy a name of his
own. It’s not fair to the boy and
it's not fair to the father either.
Right in this neighborhood is an ex-
ample. The father is not over thir-
ty-ﬂve years old but is almost invar-
iably referred "to as “The Old Man”
to distinguish him from his four-
teen year old son.

We are often asked how did we
do it. Our children never tease or
whine, the boy never smokes, talks
backs or swears to show off and the
girls are not “ﬂappers.” The time
to train children is when they are
young. The ﬁrst time a child be-
gins to tease for something, say,
“No, not if you whine like that, ask
me as you should and then you
may.” A few times will cure them
and there’s nothing so disgusting as
to see a big ﬁfteen-year—old boy or
girl Whine and tease their parents
and no amount of scolding will cure
them at that age.

When the little girl wants to play
house and ”dress up” in old clothes
etc., let her take baby’s powder box
and daub herself up as much as she
pleases but let it be strictly under-
stood that she must change her
clothes and wash her dirty face be-
fore coming to dinner. Then when
she gets in high school and other
girls ask why she doesn’t use pow-
der she will say, “Oh, I’d feel as if
my face were dirty all the time if
I did."

Dont ever say to a boy “Now see
here young feller, don’t let me catch
you doing, etc.” for he will do it
then anyway just to show he can
and not let you catch him at it. It’s
not so much what we do and say, it’s
what we think and feel. These little
folks know if we have faith in
them and trust them, we don’t need
to tell them and they will live up to
just what we think of them if it’s
good or bad. So its up to us to
have faith in our children—A
’Farmer's Wife, Ypsilanti, Michigan.

 

YOUNG FOLKS ARE ALRIGHT

AM enclosing a little poem deal-
I ing with a subject much discuss—
ed these days. It is my opinion
the young folks are good, and get—
ting better, and if the real grown—
ups—~I’m not quite grown up yet
myself, being just a little over thir-
ty——but, anyhow, us grown-ups bet-
ter take care or we will have to
learn how to be good from our
youngsters, for they have good prin-
ciples, and there is a reaction com-
ing on among the younger set,
against the hootch problem. Soon
the hip ﬂask will be a nasty dream
of the past. We have only to have
a- young student or two for a con-
' ﬂdent for a short time and we will
soon learn that our future fathers

There has just came to my desk a little book en-
titled “Ten Lessons on Meat" that I believe you will all be in-
It was prepared for use in high schools by the
National Live Stock and Meat Board, of Chicago, and contains in-
formation of great value to every housewife on methods of preparing
both tender and tough cuts of meat, balanced meals and menus, on
carving, making soups, and meat and its value as food. The small sum
of 10 cents is charged for the book and I will be pleased to get copies
for any readers who are interested at cost plus 4 cents to pay postage,
or you can order direct if you prefer.

For the beneﬁt of those who enjoy and attend the movies once
in a while I am starting a new department to be known as “For the
Movie Fan" and under this heading in each issue I intend to discuss
at least one picture that I think is good and you would ﬁnd inter-
esting. Of course I Will not be able to discuss all of the plays con-
sidered good but will take up the outstanding ones and pass along to
you my opinions and the opinions of leading critics.

USING TOPS OF SOCKS

M sending a little scheme for

making mitten liners or mittens

for children. A good use for
heavy woolen socks. All women
know that the toe and heel of hub—
by’s socks wear out beyond repair
and the legs are still good. I cut
the top off just above the heel, trim
rounding size of mitten. Sew up, cut
hole for thumb the right distance
from sewed up end. Cut a thumb
out of top of the foot part, sew it
up and sew in the hole. Leave it
wrong side out. Slip leather mit-
ten over it, or any kind of a mitten
you have made or bought. Turn
the top of sock leg down on outside
even with top of outside mitten and
stitch down. These can be removed
and new ones put in again when
they wear out or you can out small-
er ones for the school children or
yourself for wearing around the
farm or doing chores. I ﬁnd these
make good liners or good outside

ones for light work. Hubby says
they are ﬁne, good warm ones.

Another scheme for tops of light
socks when they get beyond repair
is when hubby’s underwear sleeves
fray out at the edges. Cut them off.
Cut off the tops of socks, the ribbed
part. Sew the cut edge onto the
sleeves and they are as good as new.
Light colored wool sock tops for
woolen underwear, cotton sock tops
for cotton underwear. I have used
cotton tops for wool underwear
when I had nothing else.

I hope this will help somebody
else as it has helped me. I have
other ways of doing lots of things
which I will send from time to time
as they come to my mind—M. E. T.,
Temple, Michigan.

WHY SCRUB?

HE dreary scrubbing of the
kitchen ﬂoor is a thing of the
past when the ﬂoor is‘ covered

with linoleum properly laid and
treated. Plain, inlaid or battleship
linoleum, if covered with a pro-
tective coating of wax well rubbed
in, or printed linoleums which have
a thin coat of waterproof varnish

The American Farm Woman

OME one has said that “No other
woman in the nation is so
truly the product of our soil

and institutions, our ideals and as-
pirations as is the American Farm
woman. She is as typical as Lincoln
is of the true American spirit.” She
is the great back-bone of our coun-
try with her strong shoulders, her
happy uplifted face and her spirit of
service to the nation of tomorrow.

Dean Vivian says, “The most im-
portant spot in the world today is
the American farm home.” We
agree with him and add this—the
center about which revolves that
farm home is the farm wife and mo-
ther. She is as truly a pioneer to-
day, doing her bit, in this period of
re—adjustment as was her pioneer
grandmother. True the work is to—
tally different but just as vital.

In the days of our grandmothers
the door to the home was the gate-
way between the domain of man and
woman. He brought the raw ma-
terial to that gateway, she converted
it into the‘ﬁnished product. No dis-
content or unrest crept into her life,
she was fulﬁlling her mission, doing

her job to the best of her abiLityh

We will ﬁnd our lives full of con—
tentment and happiness today if we,
as she did, do the work lying at
hand for us to do.

Conditions have changed. Indus-
try has invaded the home. It is no
longernecessary for us to spin and
weave,
work of a different nature belongs
to our generation. . I shall speak
brieﬂy in this article of two phases
of this work. First in regard to our
citizenship. No farmer’s wife is a
100 per cent farmer’s wife who does
not stand at the elbow of her farmer
husband on election day and help

place men'in oﬁlce’ .who realizewhat‘

make carpets, candles, etc.,.

the conservation of agriculture is—
the greatest problem confronting us
today. She is not doing her hit un-
less she is familiar with pending
legislation. Sisters, do not vote
blindly, tamely, whimsically, un-
thinkingly, but vote with conviction
and purpose and an intelligent grasp
of the questions involved.

In the second place I mention wo—
man’s part in the farm organiza-
tion. We farmers have been the last
people to apply the law of associa-
tion to our business. Possibly the
woman on the farm has been lax in
this respect. The farmer, more of-
ten than not, is an individualist, but
the farmer’s wife never is. In the
past she has been responsible to a
great extent, for the scanty commun-
ity life in rural neighborhoods. Most
rural churches owe their very ex-
istence to her untiring efforts. These
same untiring hands bake countless
pies and cakes to be sold at socials
for the pastor’s upkeep. .-

Because “Mother” is a member of

the Grange, Grangers live where
many purely men’s organizations
have met death and burial. With

this record as a background let us
give farm organization a full meas-
ure of our study. Let us ask our-
selves Why we farmers continue to
try to solve our problems individual-
ly instead of collectively? Ask our
selves why we have been content to
“Let George solve our problems”?
The result has not always been sa-
tisfactory to us—but who is at
fault? The strongest weapon for
organization is in our hands——
teaching our boys and girls that
what has made of industry a success
if applied to agriculture will also
make of it a success. In the ﬁnal
count let us not be found wanting.—
Isabel Kinch. Huron County. , ,,

ish should be renewed when -‘it be-

heavy wear the ﬂoor will have to be
re-waxed only two or three times
a year. Varnished linoleums may
be kept clean with a damp'cloth or
when much dirt is tracked in, with
soap and water. For either ﬁnish a
mild soap is necessary. Using but
little water on the ﬂoor at one time
and wiping it dry will prevent any

Celebrate 25th Wedding Anniversary.
—Have taken TEE Buernss Fanning for
several years and surely read it with

great interest, especially the Home De-'

partment. I want to come to you and
ask you if you can help us. Wears
going to celebrate our 25th Wedding An-
niversary on Decoration Day. I wish to
ask you what would be nice to serve as
a lunch being it is going to be an even-
ing aﬂair and what should be the decor—
ations for the house and the table?—
Mrs. D., Antrim County.

—-—Your anniversary will no doubt be a
very pleasant occasion. Since it is the
silver wedding, green and white should
be the
as possible as white represents the silver.
At this time of year we should have
plen'; of spring ﬂowers and nothing is
lovelier to decorate with. With these
you can use the silver and tinsel ribbon
and string such as we use at Christmas
time.

If your rooms are large enough take
a gallon crock and ﬁll it with branches
of some ﬂowering shrub or tree and place
it in a corner on a stand of even on the
ﬂoor. ‘

At any book or paper store you can
get Dennison’s book on table decorations
which will be very helpful. The price
is 25c or 35c. If you did not care for
any of the ideas shown in this book you
may use a large vase or ﬂat bowl of
ﬂowers or a basket such as! the ﬂorists
use standing about two feet high with
green and white streamers of crepe paper
leading to the top of the handle to the
corners of the table and pinnedthere.

Following are two menus, either one
is good but if you prefer to serve the
chicken in sandwiches with a nice salad
of vegetables, cake, coffee, and ice cream
you will have a nice meal either way.

Giving the Bride Away.—The service
proper now begins. With bride and
bridegroom facing him, and the bride's
father (or whoever is to give her away)
standing a few feet behind his daughter,
at her left, the clergyman begins to read
the marriage service. At the moment he
utters the words which serve as the
father’s cue (“Who giveth this woman to
be married?") the latter comes forward.
Since he has been standing- behind his
daughter, at her left, as already 'men-
tioned, this will bring him to her side.
Turning to him the bride stretches out
her right hand. He takes it, places it in
that of the clergyman and as he does so
clearly and audibly utters the obligatory
“I do.” He then at once joins the bride’s
mother in her pew.

 

 

For the Movie Fan

Behind the Front.'—If you enjoy a good
laugh be sure to see this picture when
it comes to a theatre near you. It is
a comedy centered around two American
doughboys in the late World War. The
leading parts are taken by Wallace
Beery and Raymond Hatton, both very
capable comedians who keep the audience
in an uproar with their many esca‘bes.
Mr. Beery is apparently a natural born
comedian and is better suited for this
type of work than the villian roles as-
signed him by directors for some time
past. Of course Raymond Hatton can
always be depended upon to handle his
part very satisfactorily-g Th9 sir! in. 1110

Rheumatism

A Remarkable Home Treat--
ment Given by One “7110 Had It

In the year of 1893 I was attacked by
Muscular and Sub—Acute Rheumatism. l
mﬂered as only those who are thus af—
ﬂicted know for over three years. I tried
remedy after remedy, but such relief as
I obtained was only temporary. Finally.
[ found a treatment that cured me com—
pletely and such a pitiful condition has
never returned. I have given it to a
number who were terribly afflicted; even
bedridden. some of them seventy to eighty
years old, and the results were the same
as in my own use.

 

Flashes Shooting Through

I want every sufferer from any form of
muscular and sub-acute (swelling at the
joints) rheumatism, to try the great value
of my improved “Home Treatment” for
its remarkable healing power. Don’t send
a. cent; simply mail your name and ad-
dress. and I will send it free to try. After
you have used it, and it has proven itself
to be that long-looked for means of get.

. ting rid of such forms of rheumatism.

{EAR girls and boys: In our

January 16th issue I published

a letter from Marie Suderman,
of 00mins, and in this letter she
told us about Laura May Rodgers,
a little girl in the Mennonite Chil-
dren’s Home, at Millersy‘llle, Penn-
sylvania, urging that some of the
readers send her letters and pres-
ents. Many of you remember, I am
sure, because you sent Laura a let-
ter or gift. Yes, you did, and I have
a letter from her telling me you did.
Her letter, addressed to all of us,
reads:

“As I am pretty good just
now I will write a few lines.
Thanks very much to all of you
for the gifts and letters you
sent me. I don’t think I ever got
a letter from Michigan until
Marie Suderman wrote about
me.
”There are thirty some chil—
dren here at the home where
I am. Abo t fourteen go to
school. They have one and
one—half miles to go to school.
“Spring is here and I am very
glad. I can soon be out on the
porch again. I guess people
will soon start to dig their gar—
dens.

“I would like to hear from
someone who lives near Lake
Michigan. I would like to have
them write me all about it. ,

“I like to get letters from
different states, and I hope
to hear from some more girls
and boys in Michigan.”

I too want to thank you girls
and boys for responding to the ap-
peal made. It was very good of you

V to take the time from your work

and play to write to, or send gifts
to, a little girl who is a complete
stranger to you, one whom you pro-
bably will never see. It is just such
unselﬁsh deeds that put the silver
lining in the dark clouds and makes
this world a wonderful place to live.
And we get lots of fun out of pleas—
ing other folks, don't we?——UNCLE
NED.

 

 

Our Boys and Girls

 

 

Dear Uncle Nedz—I have written to
you before, but not seeing my letter in
print thought I would write again. Do
any of the cousins know the song “The
Gypsies Warning”? I have the ﬁrst two
parts, “The Gypsies Warning” and the
“Reply” but I haven’t the “Decision”.
If any of you know it will you kindly
send it to me? To the person sending it,
I will write a big long letter.

I will describe myself. I am a girl
ﬁfteen years of age weighing 117 pounds,
dark brown hair (bobbed) and dark eyes.
I am ﬁve feet. one inch tall. I Wish
some of the merry circlers would write
to me. From your niece.———The1ma
Crosby, Box 77, Edenville, Michigan.
——I am sure someone will come to your
assistance, Thelma.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I have never written
before so I think I will write you a good
letter. Well, I will have to describe my—
self. I have brown hair and blue eyes.
I am four feet eight inches tall, and am
ﬁfteen years old. I am in the eighth
grade at school. We have a very nice
teacher. I have two sisters and one
brother going to school. Altogether
there are nine in our family. We have a
lot of ice to slide on at school. We only
have to walk % of a mile to school. It
has been awful cold, hasn’t it, Uncle
Ned? I don’t think spring will ever come.
I have read all these books: “Little
Women", “Robinson Crusoe”, “Ander—
son’s Fairy Tales”, “Jungle Book”,
“Alice in Wonderland", “Treasure Is-
land", “Heidi", “Hans Brinker", "Tom
Sawyer", “Arabian Knights”, “Merry Ad—
ventures of Robinhood”, “Childs Garden
of Verse”, “Little Men”, “Huckleberry
Finn", "Boys Life of Abraham Lincoln’,
“The Little Lame Prince.” .

Well, 1 hope Mr. Waste Basket has
this ﬁll so it won’t eat this letter. Your
want-to-be niece—Albertina. Rud, RB,

Merrill, Michigan.
-———You are quite a reader Albertina, and
I hope you are keeping the list I pub-
lished and plan on reading the other
books mentioned.

 

Dear Uncle Nedz—I haven't written be-
fore so will describe myself. I am about.
ﬁve feet tall, have brown hair, bobbed
of course, my eyes are blue. I had a.
father
my other we“ ulster from

experience today, saving
m

We have a. good supply of water around
here. I am thirteen years old and in the
sixth grade. We walk about one and
one-fourth-mlles to school. I was look-
ing over the list of books in the last
paper and thought I would tell you how
many I had read. They are as follows:
“Robinson Crusoe”, _
land", “Adventures of Odysseus”, “Hans
Brinker", “Tom Sawyer", “Gulliver’s
Travels”, “Huckleberry Finn".

Well I guess this letter is long enough.
I hope the waste basket has had his
breakfast so will close With a riddle.
When is enough not enough? Hoping I
can join the Merry Circle. I arm-43ml-
stance Wiggins. R2, Balding, Michigan.
——Why not tell us all about your saving
your sister’s life. We would all like to
hear about it.

Dear Uncle Ned:—-—I received your let-
ter today and was very glad to get it.
I am going to tell you the trip I am plan.
ning. First, I am going to have my
aunt and musins come to visit us and
when they go back to Petoskey I will
go back with thme. It is about ﬁfty
miles up there. From there I will go to
my other aunt who lives about twenty
nine miles from there. Then I will come
back and I will come back just in time
to go to school. I hope I will pass the
sixth grade this year. I like my motto
and the colors. It is time to go to bed
so I will close—Jennie Allen. Alden,
Michigan.

Dear Uncle Nedz—Good morning! I
like those loving letters that the cousins
write, especially the ﬁrst letter in the
March 27th issue and I was sure inter-
ested. I wish I had some travels to
write about. I had one travel when I
was nine years old but that's two years
ago. Anyway I will tell all I can re-
member.

I stayed with my Aunt Sate for two
years and one morning, very, oh so very,
early I was called to get up. I believe
it was at three o’clock. Cousin John got
the car and we went to Otisville to get
Cousin Anna and Richard. We now
started out on our journey.

We went through many counties and
cities until we came to a little white
shed where there were boys and girls
playing ball. A‘few steps farther there
was four old men setting on the porch.
We asked which way to go and as far
as I can remember we went past a large

lake. Then all of a sudden we came to
the biggest bill. It must have been a
mile high. We thought sure we would

have a tipvover. We went over I don’t
know how many hills. When we came
to the very top of the hill we saw a car
at the foot. We thought that the car
would soon be to the top but it wasn’t,
so we thought it must have gone under
the hill. Just then Anna gave a shriek
for up came the car and the road was so
narrow, but we passed it easy enough.

After a while we followed one of the
most crooked roads I ever saw. When
we were going along the crooked road a
truck bumped into us. Soon we came
to a clearing where people were ﬁghting
ﬁre. I wished I could sleep because I
knew there wouldn’t be much to see. I
kept asking, “How many more miles will
it be yet?” until my aunt got so tired
of it she told me to keep quiet.

Soon I saw my cousin Noble’s home.
I knew ‘the place because there is no
other place like that. I will not say any
more but hope to see my letter in print.
——Ora M. Knapp, Route 2, Boyne City.
Michigan. ~

you, Ora?

However, I will wager you

COMMENTS

 

I always hear your station and it is
good—Linus GosSer, R1, Crestline, Ohio.

 

The markets are coming in ﬁne and I
think-your market pad for the report on
the radio is all that I lack. Would you
be so kind as to send me one?—-—W. E.
Oeschger, Huron County.

 

 

 

. We listen in on the radio every night
ii to the market report and enjoy it very
'3 much. Would like one of your market
l pads if it is not bothering you too much.
‘ ——~John Welsch, St. Clair County.

 

I hear your market and stock reports
between seven and seven-thirty o'clock
P. M.. They come in very ﬁne, also your
weather report and music—«Glenn H.
Snyder, R1, Box 73, Lindsey, Ontario,

- Canada.

 

We enjoy your programs very much
and always make it a point to tune in
, whenever you are on the air. Will be
very pleased to have you send me a pad
for keeping record of these reports.“
Frank Stilts, Lenawee County.

 

Received pad and many thanks. We
enjoy your market reports and they come
in ﬁne and just when the day’s work is
done. Seems as though no one writes
only from Michigan, so here we are away
down in Trifﬁn, Ohio—Mrs. M. C. Rems-

 

burg.
Please send me on of your market
pads. I have listened to the market re-

port given by THE BUSINESS FARMER
through WGHP. I think that it is the best
time to give the markets for us farmers
cannot be in the house in the afternoon
to hear them. In the summer time I
think that eight or eight—thiry will be
the best time to give them.—G. F. Tobias.

a ﬁeld or two to work. This man
always said the renter should get
half the straw, and that to pay him
for leaving the straw on the place
he, would furnish all the seed. And
this he did, and the seed was always
the best, and yields always satisfac-
tory. What did he do with the
straw stacks? He had them drawn
out and spread evenly all over the
ﬁeld. He did not wait for them to
rot down. They were drawn out
early in the spring, if not in the
fall and the clover and grass grew
up through it, and when plowed
under for/corn, oh, boy! what a crop
was in prospect. I don’t know that
he ever sowed any timothy, his hob—
by was clover. This man had sev-
eral parcels of land in various places
and no buildings on any of them,
and no stock was kept. Yet his land
was in excellent condition. I might

self. '- .

No, I really think one should have
half the straw, where he crops a

to partly repay him for leaving the

straw. ,,

Every Year

About as regularly as—the seasons,
(and perhaps more regularly than
some seasons .1 have in mind today)
comes the question; “What way. is
best to sow clover seed?” Again
we answer, it all depends upon con-
ditions. Some seasons one way is a
winner, and other seasons some
other method is more successful.
But, taking it one year with an—
other, we ﬁnd we have better suc-
cess with drilling. We use a disk
drill. Disks are seven inches apart.
The grass seed tube is placed so the
seed runs in the furrow the disk
opens. The disks are not allowed
to run more than one inch deep. A
few times the ground has been so
soft the disks would go too deep,
and then the seed tubes were taken
out of disks, and the seed scattered
broadcast on the‘disked ground. We
fasten a log chain so that it drags
about two feet back of the disks. It
is fastened to the frame on each end
of drill, and fastened to each disk
with the common drill drag chain
and a piece of wire. It smooths the
ground, and covers the seed very
nicely. '

CUTWORM TIME
(Continued from Page 11)

thus forming a convenient bridge
for the cutworm’s passage.

In applying tanglefoot we use a
thin, narrow paddle made .of a piece
of lath about 10 inches long. One
end of the lath is left untouched to
serve as a handle and the rest is
whittled to a width of hé inch and
thin on the edges. With this instru-
ment one can soon become as ex—

pert at “tanglefooting” as a plas—
terer is at throwing “mud.” The
tanglefoot is applied around the

trunks of the trees but if the trunks
are excessively rough and full of
cracks it can be applied to the
main branches. In treating grapes
the vine just under the lowest arm
a band is put around the trunk of
and the Wires are banded on each
side of the post. 'Tanglefoot should
not be applied directly on the bark
of one or two year old trees, as it
may prove injurious. On such, trees

else wrap strips of paper around the
trees and apply the tanglefoot on
the paper.

The only objection to tanglefoot
is its rather high cost. We have
tried several substitutes without any
real success. At one time I wrote
to Professor Pettit at M. S. C. ask-
ing him to suggest a cheap substi—
tute but he could name none which
would do the work as well. He said
“You had better stick to tanglefoot,
as you will probably do anyway if
you lean against it!” So, in our
ﬁghts against the climbing cut—
worms we continued to lean on tan—
glefoot for support and have stuck
to it ever since.

MEET PROF. J. T. HORNER, OF M. S. C., FOLKS

0ST of our readers are familiar with the
writings of Prof. J. T. Horner, head of the
Economics Work in Agriculture at the
Michigan State College, and many have met him
or seen pictures of him, but few know the history
of his life to date.

Prof. Horner was born in the state of Kansas
but grew up in Oklahoma and graduated from the
University of Oklahoma in 1909, following which
he. was in various lines of business activity—prin-
cipally auditing and accounting. In the fall of
1915 he went to the Oklahoma. Agricultural Col-
lege and graduated from there in their marketing
course. Following this he taught in this college
in the economics department for two years. From there he went to
the State Market Commission. In the fall of 1919 he went to Colum-
bia University to_ do graduate work in economics, and assisted in
teaching economics and accounting. Also he was a ﬁeld agent for
the U. S. Department of Agriculture. He came to the M. S. C. in the
fall of 1921. Prof. Homer .has made a Special study on the mar-
keting of milk and potatoes in Michigan and is preparing bulletins
m the line. of; his studies. He is also author of the book “Agr -

LE! HORSE OWN 8A1]!

_ TION

HE importance of a proper ra-

tion of salt in horse feeding,

little realized by most farmers,
which has been demonstrated by
careful experiments with Michigan
State College stock, is explained by
R. 8. Hudson, superintendent of the
farm and horse department.

Mr. Hudson disapproves of the
practice followed by some farmers
of scattering salt on the ground
where colts and other livestock may
lick it. Horses in stables get their
salt either in small quantities fed
with the grain each day, or in a
small box always within their reach.
There probably is no accurate con-
ception on the part of most farmers
as to the amount of salt required for
horses.

The college expert has prepared a
table showing the amount of salt
consumed by twelve draft horses,
ranging from 2 to 16 years, from
May to December. The quantity, he
shows, varies with the season, in-
creasing from May to September.
With cooler weather and less work,
salt consumption decreases.

Horses, he therefore concludes,
should have free access to salt at all
times.

 

FEEDING BEAN PODS

I want to know what there is in
bean pods as a feed for cows. I get
more cream from bean pods than
from any other roughage I ever fed,
including alfalfa—R. F., Pellston,
Mich.

EAN pods or bean straw, accord-
B ing to analyses given in Henry
and Morrison’s Feeds and Feed-
ing, contain 3.6 per cent digestible
crude protein and 47.6 per cent to-
tal digestible nutrients. Timothy
hay contains 3.0 per cent digestible
crude protein and 48.5 per cent to-
tal digestible nutrients. Alfalfa
contains 10.6 per cent digestible
crude protein and 61.6 per cent total
digestible nutrients.

I would consider that bean straw,
if palatable to the cows, would be
equal to timothy bay for feeding
purposes. I would not expect that
the-bean pods would be equal in
feeding value to alfalfa hay because
they would not contain suﬂlcient
amount of protein. Of course the
kind of grain fed with the roughage
would make a marked difference.

There is one other circumstance
that occurs to me that might have
given the apparent feeding value to
the bean pods noted in the inquiry.
That is, if the beans were poorly
thrashed so that there was not a
complete separation of the beans
from the pods they would increase
the feeding value of the bean pods
very markedly. In a feeding trial
conducted at this station by the
writer, ground cull beans were
shown to be worth about half as
much as cottonseed meal for dairy
cows, so that it would not take a
great many beans in the bean pods
to greatly inﬂuence the results of
feeding them.-——J. E. Burnett, As-
sociate Professor of Dairy Husband-
ry, Michigan State College.

CASEIN

I would like to know what can
cause a slimy matter in the separa-
tor after separating the milk. The
strainer, cloth and wash clothes are
so slippery when washing tlem, es-
pecially as soon as soap is applied.
The cows are well fed and cared for
and seem perfectly healthy. Last
fall this condition was quite bad,
then for a spell this winter it had
just about disappeared and now It is
worse than ever and has been for
some time.—Mrs. F. G., Bay City,
Michigan.

HE material is undoubtedly ca—
sein, a normal and valuable
constituent in milk. This oc-

curs in milk in suspension and when
the separator is run at excessive
speed a portion of it is thrown out of
suspension together with any parti-
cles of dirt that may be in the milk.
It is slimy In appearance and Is us-
ually referred to as separator slime.
When this casein curdles, when milk
sours, it is referred to as clabber or
curb. The condition you refer to
Is normal and in no way abnormal.

HEAVES
Is there such a thing as panting

HERE is no such thing as pant—
ing heaves; there is only one
form of heaves and every farm-

er has seen them; some animals
may be a little worse with them than
others. All you can do is to keep
the animals from eating too much:
then you may give a tablespoonful
of fowlers solution of arsenic night
and morning for three Weeks; 3101)

give again for three weeks; this will
help a little.

is poisonous and the animals must

WIASH the, affected parts with

the scabs as possible; then apply

sulphur ointment rubbing it in well.

Apply night and morning. This

should bring about recovery. Be

sure to clean and disinfect the har-
ness where they came in contact with
the horse. Also any places where
he may have rubbed in the stall; if

.you do not do this you will likely
- have another seige of it soon.

Use
a good dip for washing these to dis—
infect them.

Melotte Bowl Has Ever Been _
Out 9! Balance

And not one will be out of balance in another 30
years. That’ s because the v design and con-
struction of the Melotte Bowl ma es 1t impossible for
wear or usage to throw it out of balance. At a con-
servative estimate, out- of- balance bowls are costing
the American farmer in wasted cream, millions
dollars a year—probably double the cost of allth
thousands of Melotte Separators 1n use in America.

Imported from Belgium

The Melotte Bowl hangs from one frictionless
ball bearm and spins like a top. It is self bat.
ancmg, an without any rebalancing it skims as
perfectly after three, ﬁve or even twenty years of
service as when new. Neither wear nor usage can
ever throw the Melotte Bowl out of balance—cannot
vibrate and thus cause cross currents which waste
cream by remixing with milk. Turns so easily that bowl
spine 25 minutes after you stop cranking unless brake is
applied. No other separator has or needs a brake.

just as if it were your own machine. t it to every possible test. Compare it with any or

BACILLARY white diarrhoea is a.
much used term, that is great-
ly misused. Bacillary white
diarrhoea is an infectious, and seri-
ous disease of baby chicks. It is not
necessarily a bowel trouble. True
bacillary white diarrhoea may be in-
herited from parent stock through
the egg. In the baby chicks it shows
up usually between the time of
hatching and the fourteenth day of
the Chick's life. Chicks that are ef-
fected appear droopy, trail their
wings, spend the greater part of
their time under the hover, and ap-
parently gasp for breath and have
difﬁculty in breathing, dying within
a short time. Sometimes these
symptoms are accompanied with a
bowel discharge that is white and
pasty, but in numbers of cases no
bowel trouble is evident. Upon ex-
amination, it is usually noted that
there is a small amount of food in
the crop of the chick, but the chick
appears light in weight and wasted
in appearance, the shanks usually
being wrinkled and withered, and
the abdomen seems to be inﬂated or
bloated, feeling puffy to the touch.
Upon opening the chick, the liver
will be found to be very light col-
ored, yellow instead of red, and the
egg yolk will be found to be still
present, often times partly decom-
posed. In a healthy normal chick
the egg yolk should be completely
absorbed at the end of 100 hours.
In diseased chicks, yolks may be
found during the second and third
weeks of the chick’s life. This dis-
ease is very readily transmitted
from chick to chick by contamina-
tion of the food and water with the
dropping of diseased chicks.

There is no cure for the disease
and chicks affected had best be
killed and buried deeply or burned
and the house thoroughly disinfect-
ed, preferably with chlorinated lime
solution after the house has been
thoroughly cleaned. Chlorinated
lime for disinfectant purposes should
be used at the rate of one pound of
dry chlorinated lime powder .to
eight gallons of water. The danger
in this disease lies not only in the
heavy mortality of the chicks but
in the fact that the birds once affect-
ed rarely if ever, recover.

The disease affects the ovaries of
the adult bird and the disease or-
ganisms pass with the egg yolk into
the egg before it is laid accounting
for the disease in newly hatched
baby chicks.

There is a test for this disease
known as the aglutination test that
can be given a ﬂock by drawing
blood samples from each bird indi—
vidually, sending these samples to a
laboratory and removing the reac—
tors. Further information regard-
ing this test can be obtained by writ-
ing direct to the Bacteriology De-
partment, East Lansing.

There are many other forms of
bowel trouble in baby chicks, caused
by chilling, overheating or improper
feeding that are not contagious nor
are they caused by any disease or-
ganisms, and great care should be
taken to distinguish between the
bowel trouble caused by chilling and
overheating and the bowel trouble
caused by Bacillaryc White Diar—
rhoea, before the parent stock is
condemned as carriers of the dis-
ease.

Disinfection of incubators, main-
taining proper heat for the brooders,
proper feeding, and good care will
prevent many cases of so-called
white diarrhoea that are caused by
other things than bacterial infection.
The feeding of sour milk early in
the chick’s life tends to prevent bow—
el trouble not bacillary in nature.—
Prof. J. A. Hannah, Dept. of Poultry
Husbandry, M. S. C.

of oyster shells and grit but have
lots of soft shell eggs. What can
I do?——-Mrs. C. J., Armada, Michi-
gan.

WOUDD suggest that in addition

to oyster shell being kept- before

the birds at all times, that one
give calcium carbonate either in the
form of ground limestone or marl.
We have always recognized that oy-
ster shell contained considerable
lime content, but have found with a
heavy ﬂock that the lime content
available is not sufﬁcient to supply
all the lime necessary for good shell
texture.

Cod liver oil seems also to be im-
proving the shell texture of the egg.
—C. G Card, Professor of Poultry
Husbandry, M. S. C.

NUTRITIONAL. DISEASE
Would like to know what ails my

 

hens. They have a large rim swol-
len entirely around the eyes. Some«
times the eyes are swollen shut.

Sometimes not, but in either case
they are stone blind. Eyes always
watery, some have eyes swollen but
now shut seeming as thought the
sight was good yet they cannot see.
——H. W., Brooklyn, Michigan.

HIS condition affecting your
ﬂock is known as nutritional
disease; your birds do not get

feeds that are rich enough in some
of the_ elements they need to keep
them in good health. If you will
feed plenty of milk and bone meal
to your poultry, adding about 5 lbs.
of bone meal to each 100 lbs. of
mash and feed them corn meal made
from yellow corn also alfalfa or
clover hay you will not likely have

       

 

much if any of this trouble G.
H. Conn.
TUBERCULOSIS
My chickens are large, healthy

hens and they limp. I killed one
the other day and found its liver en—
larged and coated with light grey
spots. I feed them corn, wheat and
ground feed and they have butter
milk before them all the time.—
Mrs. W. F., Owosso, Mich.

HIS sounds very much like tu—
berculosis and I would recom-
mend that you have a local

veterinarian examine one of them
that is affected with this trouble
and have your county agent send
one or two to the state agricultural»
college for examination. Then you
could be sure of what you had. It
would be the safest way to handle

it.-—Dr. G. H. Conn.
BOWEL TROUBLE
I have a gander which shows
signs of bowel trouble. The drop-

pings are pea green and white. the
latter clinging to the feathers al-
though he doesn’t act droopy and

e O . Wheat in Stronger Position Than Other Grains

Cattle Receipts Large While Movement of Hogs Declines. ‘
By W. W. FOQTE. Market Editor.

is startling to learn that the.
Department of Agriculture ﬁnds
that there were 479,000 fewer
peoples living on farms in the Unit-
ed States on January 1 than a year
age». while the ﬁgures for 1924 show
a. net. loss in. farm population of
182,000 persons. The movement ex—
tends to all parts of the country, and
it has. been going on for a. number
at years. The: tendency is for farm—
ers to cultivate Larger tracts of land
and to replace hired helpers with all
kinds of. the best of farm machinery,
most farmers ﬁnding it well nigh
impossible to pay the high wages
demanded. Probably tax-m produc-
tion. will. increase as the population
of the country grows, and small
farms may be expected to be de-
voted to diversiﬁed farming, while
large farms will be largely used for
growing. rain. Modern machinery
works wonders, and one man accom-
plishes far more than was possible
under tormer conditions. During re-
cent weeks there has" been an un—
commonly lively time in the Chicago
market for high-class dairy cows,
the condemnation of tubercular cat—
tle causing their owners to replace
them with healthy Holstein spring-
ers selling at $75 to $100. The av-
erage price is $90. The beef cattle
trade moves along most of the time
with no marked new developments,
the greater part of the marketings
comprising medium to pretty good
steers and heifers ,and while fatten-
ing well—bred cattle is still a proﬁt-
able industry, there is an unwilling—
ness to make high—grade beef. steers.
Hogs are not selling as high as they
did several months ago, but they
continue to bring far higher prices
than in most past year, and owners
Who have plenty of. corn ﬁnd the

and lard very proﬁtable. here is a
gradual development. of he sheep
industry, and the big Col rado and
other large range sheepn \n have
rushed their lambs to market much
of the time in such excessive num-
bers as to unduly depress prices.
fed lambs selling far lower than one
and two years ago.
Better Market for Wheat
Wheat all the time is in a much
stronger position than the other ce—
reals, due largely to the depleted
stocks, the visible wheat supply in
this country a short time ago being
down to 31,000,000 bushels, compar—
ing with 55,000,000 buhsels a year
ago. A short time ago sales were
made of wheat for July delivery on
the Chicago Board of Trade at $1.42

comparing with $1.38 a year ago,.
while a little more than two years‘

ago it sold below $1.03. At times
recently the foreign demand was im-
proved, and this started up specula-
tive trading. The season in the
northwest is late for seeding spring
wheat, but the winter Wheat crop
promises to reach the average yield
of 685,000,000 bushels. The Cana-
dian crop report shows from 15,000,~
000 to 18,000,000 bushels of wheat
in farmers hands after deducting
seed requirements. A highly import-
ant piece of news was the ofﬁcial
conﬁrmation of damage to the Ar-
gentina wheat crop, with an esti-
mated exportable surplus of only
81,000,000 bushels, while the previ-
ous expected surplus was as much
as 138,000,000 bushels. This will
be calculated to cause European im-
porting countries look to the United
States and Canada as the main val-
uable surplus outside of Argentina
and Australia. Corn was sold at the
lowest prices of the season, with
May corn at 75 cents later, compar-
ing with $1.02 a year ago. There is
renewed talk of inferior seed corn,
and farmers cannot be too particular
in this matter. Oat seeding is mak-
ing rapid progress. Late sales were
made of May oats at 42 cents, com-
paring with 40 cents a year ago.
May rye sells at 92 cents, against
$71.03 last year.

A winter wheat crop of 530,000,-

000 bushels and 44,195,000 bushels

oi? rye is suggested for the United
States by estimates of condition giv-
en in the government’s April report.
A year ago wheat estimates were
474,000,000 bushels, and the ﬁnal
harvest 398,000,000 bushels, while
the ﬁve-year average is 585,000,000-
bushels.

The rye crop last year was 48,-
696,000 bushels, the smallest. in re.-
cent years, yet enough ’for all domes»-
tic and export, demands- "

Cattle are Biennial

According to the recent govern».-
ment oﬂ‘icial report: the number 0‘
cattle in feeding districts is about
the same as a year ago... and: they are
being shipped to market in the us-
ual numbers, the combined receipts
in seven. western packing points for
the year to late date being about the
same in number as a. year ago.
They are having a good demand in
the Chicago market, with sales of
beef steers recently at an extreme

The enormous falling off in the
movement of hogs to western mar-
kets explains why there is such a
boom in prices, the combind receipts
in the seven leading Western pack—
ing points for the year to late date
amounting to 7,407,000: hogs, comb
paring-with 9,442,000 a year ago-
and‘ 10,949,000 two years ago. There
is an extremely wide sprad in prices,
and the few prime lots of light
weight hogs heavier than usual, corn-
being plentiful and cheap, and re-
cent Chicago receipts averaged 250‘
pounds in weight, the heaviest aver-
age since last September. This com-
pares with 233 and 234 pounds one
and two years ago and a ﬁve- year
average. of: 237 pounds. One year
ago hogs sold at $111.15 to $13.10
and two years ago at $6.80 to $7.55,
while recent sales took place at
$103.40 to $13.90, ﬂew going above
$13.50:

range of $7.50 to $10.85, comparing
with $7.85 to $12.50 one year ago
and $7.60 to $9.90 ten years ago.
The bulk of the steers sell at $8.50
to $10.25, and prime cattle selling
at $10.30 and upward are in much
smaller supply than one and two
years ago. The cheaper light weight
steers with a little ﬂesh are kept
from going lower by the demand
from country buyers, stockers and
feeders selling for $6.25 to $8.65,
largely at $7.25 to $8. Good fat

Bad Spring for Pigs

The cold and rainy weather dur-
ing March was very hard on pigs
and many ﬁelds were ﬂooded, while
in numerous districts losses of pigs
were reported as high as 50 per cent.
To a large extent farmers are coop-
erating with the farm bureaus in
putting in systems of sanitation.

Corn for Tractors

There was a parade of farmers in
Bloomington, Illinois, recently, in
celebration of the new way of selling
tractors. There were thirty-two trac-
tors, each being driven by the owner
who exchanged corn for them at the
rate of $1 per bushel.

17 and? the market continued strong
in tone. There has been quite a
strong tone to. this market for some
time new but price, changeshave not
been very pronounced up to the be-
ginning of this report.

BEANS

There has been so much talk of
wet beans in Michigan that the trade
apparently has, begun to think that
all of the 1925 crop contains a large
amount of moisture and they will
not buy only just what they must
to keep going. Canners have been
doing most of their buying on the
breaks. One large organization re-
ports bids as “scarce as hen’s teeth.”

 

POTATOES

The price of old potatoes contin-
ues skyward with receipts small.
Buyers estimate there are around a
thousand carloads of potatoes left
in Michigan and about 100 of them
are in the Grand Traverse region.
The new potatoes coming to market
are of an inferior quality and sell at
prohibitive prices, so the demand
for old stock is unusually heavy for
this time of year. .

“Alfalfa heads the list as the most
dependable crop to be gnown in Mich-
Mn,” Professor Cox declared. “It
is exceedingly unlikely that surpluses

wt alfalfa hay will exist for the next

ten years. ' There are few cash crops
which will pay _as much as alfalfa,
but, of. course, most farmers can
make more out of feeding this cheap
supply of protein hay.

Beets Sure Crop-

“Sweet clover, and clover from
domestic grown red clover seed are
in the same class. With sweet clover
seed cheap and plentiful much is be-
ing planted in Michigan.

“Sugar beets are a certain crop
for Michigan farmers this year, since
the sugar factories are offering the
same contracts as prevailed last year,

 

 

 

Week of April 25
E. opening days of the week be-
ginning April 25th promises
some high gales over the Great
Lakes and strong winds inland.
With these activities will come
showers and some heavy rains local-

.ly. Temperatures will be the high—

est about Sunday and Monday but
by Monday or Tuesday will have fal-
len decidedly. With this fall in tem-
perature will come a couple of days
of fair weather in most parts of
Michigan, especially the northern
counties. Along about the middle
of the week temperatures will rise
again to moderate readings and
there may be a~ renewal of some
rains in sections of the state. These
conditions will soon pass, but the
change to pleasant weather will be
very short.

Closely following this storm will
be another with even more precipi-
tation than the last. The month
and week ends with thunder storms,
.gales and heavy rains.

Week of May 2

During ﬁrst few days of the week
of May 2nd in Michigan expect more
or less rain storms with high Winds,
all followed by a marked change to
cooler and clearing skies. We
should say that the weather will be
fairly nice about Monday or Tuesday
in most parts of the state except
that temperatures will be below the
normal for the season.

About the middle of the week
look for rising temperatures and
some unsettled weather with very

strong winds and driving rain
storms.
By Thursday or Friday these

storms will have passed over the
state inducing a change to much
colder weather with clear skies and
tr;1pid radiation during the night
me.

 

Cured His Rupture

I was badly ruptured while lifting a.
trunk several years ago. Doctors said my
only hope of cure was an operation.
Trusses did me no good. Finally I got
hold of something that quickly and com-
pletely cured me. Years have passed and

the rupture has never returned. although

I am doing hard work as a carpenter.
when was no operation, no lost time, no
trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will
are full information about how you may
d a complete cure without operation, if

SHOULD WE REDUCE NUMBER
OF' COUNTIES TO CUT COSTS

(Continued from page 3.)

counties and partitions of counties. I

For instance, Mackinac county could
be divided among three others bor-
dering it with an actual gain in con-
venience to most of its people. And
such counties as Keweenau and Lee—
lanau could very proﬁtably be an-
nexed to the adjoining counties. The
instances where two or more coun-
ties could be joined are as readily
to be seen.

In many counties the cutting of
the forests has left a vast area of
waste lands which earn nothing and
therefore can pay little, if any taxes.
This tends to put an added burden
on the owners of producing property
in those counties. Consolidation of
such counties would enable them to
get better service, to pay larger sal-
aries to fewer people and to reduce
taxation directly at its source.

There are now 83 counties in Mich-
igan. It would be a business-like
procedure for the Legislature to out
these down to not more than 70
counties. But the law-makers 'at
Lansing will not act until there is
a deﬁnite willingness on the part of
the people of the poorer counties to
give up a sentimental pride in their
local divisions and to replace it with
a genuine pride in stronger and
cheaper county government in large
units.

Beside these counties which lack
people and taxable property values
to adequately support a county
government, there are somewhat
larger counties in which economy
could be served by a business-like
rearrangement of county affairs so
that d'uties now divided between sev-
eral ofﬁces, and not affording satis—
factory employment or pay to any
of them could be united in one oiiice.
In division there is waste and ex-
pense.

The probability of a constitutional
convention in 1927 makes it proper
to think of this move. Certain
changes in the constitution would
have to be approved in order to
make county government cheaper in
this respect.

No one is going to rise up and do
these things for the people of his
own accord. There must be a public
demand for such a deﬁnite program
of economy through practical means
and it must be backed up by votes.

high, until Mr. .Newberry told them
it had all been taken. This was a
hard blow, but they decided to do
the best they could, and after two
days’ cruising, with Philo Newberry
as guide, they located two “eightys”
but they were very rough and
swampy and five miles apart. This
was not what they had hoped for.
but was the best they could do. .

There had just been a new trail
blazed on what is now M—12. This
made their return trip much short-
er, but as they passed the S. E. 94
of Section 36- 20- 10, where they
parted with Philo Newberry, they
expressed their regrets at being too
late to secure this beautiful place,
and were assured by Mr. Newberry
that if it had not been taken he and
his father would have chosen it in-
stead of what they got, and were
now separated over a mile on' in-
ferior land.
