WHERE THE TWENTIETH ANNUAL NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW FOR 1926 WILL BPS HELD

Michigan has a right to be proud of the gigantic Coliseum, erected on the Michigan State Fair grounds, in

Detroit, America’s fourth city. This building was erected in 1924 with the hope on the part of its promotors that it.

might sometime house the greatest dairy event in the world. It contains more than 100,000 square feet of exhibition

and show space and seats more than 10,000 persons comfortably. It is equipped with the most modern lighting,
heating and ventilating devices, and with its perfect show-ring stands unmatched anywhere.

farm incoines may be increased
through the use of proﬁtable cows,
and how farm homes may be mod—
ernizcd by the purchase of modern
appliances and. conveniences made
possible from the‘ increased income.

’ More proﬁt ,with less labor is the

slogan.

For this reason, a Farm Wamen’s
Division has been established, which
will be in charge of Mrs. Edith M.
Wagar, Carleton, Mich. The divi-
sion is fostered by the American
Farm Bureau Federation. Mrs.
Wag‘ar is well known for her work
in Michigan.

The average farm home, says Mrs.
Wager, can and should have as many
conveniences as the average town
or city home. The proﬁtable dairy
cow is the means through which the
ﬁner things of life may be obtained.
The increased income from superior
cows, such as will be at the show,
will make possible light and water
system on every farm, washing ma-
chines, modern utensils, refrigera-
tion, radios, and up-to-date cooking
devices. The acquisition of these
things will promote a better home
life, and result in greater happiness
on American farms.

, U. s. n. A. Exhibit

Besides the educatlonal- exhibits
and displays from many states the
United States Department of Agri-
culture will have. a special exhibit
in the agricultural building.

The Department’s exhibit this year
will not contain the usual chart and
picture type of exhibit, but instead,
many real and life‘slzed modelswill
be used. '

Two general types of exhibits will
be displayed. One shows the recent
discoveries of investigations] work
done by the Department and is of
special interest to breeders and tech"r
nice] people. The other is mere
practical in nature.

The effect of feeding well cured
and poorly cured alfalfa hay is
brought out by a life—sized model of
a cow showing organs and skeleton.
By means of machinery the fact is
shown that when well cured legume
hay is fed the calcium in the milk
and for reproduction comes from the
feed, but when poorly cured hay is
fed the calcium is taken from the
bones.

The problem of cow production is
brought out by a comparison of two
herds in the same cow-testing as-
sociation, the income from one herd
being $87 per cow, and $25 from the
other. The exhibit shows that the
Babcock test and milk scales pro-
vide a sure trap for the low pro-
ducer.

A part of the exhibit shows that
about one—half of the pure bred
dairy bulls are slaughtered every
year, many of them before their
daughters have made records.

One scenic display pictures the
waste of skimmilk each year. Ther
are two exhibits on market milk.
One shows how to sterilize utensils,
and the other deals with milk plant
management. Other exhibits will
show the world supply and demand
for dairy products, the sources of
dairy supplies for principal markets,
the story of the market news service.
and how standardization is increas-
ing dairymen’s proﬁts.

The Department is working on the
theory that it should produce an ex-
hibit from which each visitor will
obtain at least one suggestion that
will help him to make money. ‘

National Dairy Week

The week of September 13 to 18
was observed as National Dairy
Show Week in every county of Mich-
igan. It was a successful, concerted
effort to put the National Dairy Ex-
position before the public. As a re-
sult, delegations have been organiz-
ed in every county of the state to at-'
tend the Exposition.

E. G. Amos, county agent leader
for the Upper Peninsula reports that
the Upper Peninsular groups will all
meet at St. Ignace, andi descend up—
on Detroit in a huge auto caravan.

Michigan farmers, and the dairy
industry as a whole, take genuine
pride mt.er fact that the Exposition

upon as a recognition of what has
been accomplished in dairy agricult-
in. Its pronence is a reWard ~ for
those agricultural and civic leaders
Who have had the vision to see that
the milk cow is the~right arm of
mlchigan’s agriculture. The Expo-
sition is an added impetus to their
ecorts. ‘ . .

The NatiOnal Dairy Exposition is

ducer.

A part of the exhibit shows that
about one—half of the pure bred
dairy bulls are slaughtered every
year. many of them before their
daughters have made records.

One scenic display pictures the
waste of skimmilk each year. Thcrél
are two exhibits on market milk.
One shows how to sterilize utensils,
and the other deals with milk plant
management. Other exhibits will
show the world supply and demand
for dairy products, the sources of
dairy supplies for principal markets,
the story of the market news service.
and how standardization is increas-
ing dairymen’s proﬁts.

The Department is working on the
theory that it should produce an ex-
hibit from which each visitor will
obtain at least one suggestion that
will help him to make money. ‘

National Dairy Week

The week of September 13 to 18
was observed as National Dairy
Show Week in every county of Mich-
igan. It was a successful, concerted
effort to put the National Dairy Ex-
position before the public. As a re-
sult, delegations have been organiz-
ed in every county of the state to at-'
tend the Exposition.

E. G. Amos, county agent leader
for the Upper Peninsula reports that
the Upper Peninsular groups will all
meet at St. Ignace, and descend up
on Detroit in a huge auto caravan.

Delegations have been formed in
Georgia, Louisiana, and North Caro-
lina- The Holstein breeders’ club
of Oxford county, Ontario. will come

in a body. ..

dicated that agriculture has
 iagain taken its proper position
his exposition. The huge, new
ilding, just across the street from
Coliseum, and said to be the
est 'in the world devoted ex—
‘sively to agriculture, was the ﬁrst
ng that. caused the visitor this
to get that impression. Then
trip through the building proved
ﬁnal argument. ,
This building, which was con-
ucted by the state’s own building
artment in 60 days, has a ﬂoor
ce of 240 feet by 160 feet, and it
8 ﬁlled with exhibits having to
_ with Michigan agriculture. The
ate Department of Agriculture was
re with a most extensive exhibit
the work'being done by them.
9 Michigan State College also had
isplay on what they are doing in
,,mal husbandry, marketing ento-
ology, dairy husbandry, horticult—
e. poultry and home economics.
en the farm organizations were
presented by the Grange, Farm Bu-
 and Gleaners. The Michigan
p Improvement Association had
ﬁne display, as did also the De-
it Market Growers’ Association.
arge amount of space was given
if er to the Upper Peninsula exhibit,
'f th 3. banner across the top of it
",oclaiming to the visitor that the
t of Michigan located across the
,_aits was “God’s Country”. This
ibit, covering mining, recreation,
:dustry and agriculture, opened the
s of many to the great opportuni—
,in that part of our state. The
In press ,of Michigan also was rep-
ented. All of these were along
 four walls, while in the center
 the horticultural and farm crops
" limits, and a large ﬂoral display,
h an Orchestra entertained with
ular music in the center of the
31 exhibit. ‘
yﬂnFarmers’ Day, Thursday, Sept-
bier 9th, a committee headed by
Whitney Watkins, State Commis-
ner of Agriculture, dedicated the
lding to Michigan agriculture.
" orig the -peakers were Pres. Ken—

a Stockman of the State Grange,
'Mr. I. A. Butterﬁeld, father of
s. Butterﬁeld and a man who has
ofﬁcially connected with the
higan State Fair longer than any
' living person.
Farmers Attend

 setting any attendence records,
.being rainy or cool most of the
9, but good crowds were there in
e of the weather.

ories and places of business remain
closed and paid admissions reach the
high point of the week on that day.
This year the attendance amounted to
around 100,000 according to reports,
which sets a newyrecord, and the
surprising part of it was the large
number of farmers there. Thursday
was ofﬁcial Farmers’ Day but many
declared there were as many on the
grounds Monday as there were
'Thursday. Perhaps this was due
mostly to the fact that the rains on
‘Sunday held up farm work. ‘

Tuesday was Children’s Day, all
children being admitted free, and
Wednesday was Fraternal Day.
Crowds were small on both of these
days. The crowd was small Friday,
Detroit Day, also, but Saturday,
Automobile ‘Day, the gate receipts
were again large as the weather was
perfect for the ﬁrst time during the
entire week.

Many Entries

Entries in all lines of live stock
passed previous high records by con-
siderable. There were approximate-
ly 1,100 sheep and 675 dairy cattle,
while there were so many horses
that after ﬁlling every stall in the
horse barn it was necessary to ﬁx a
place in one end of the Coliseum to
house the rest. The beef cattle barn
was also full to overﬂowing, and
there were so many poultry exhibits
that the ofﬁcials in charge had to put
up a tent for part of them. Rabbits
and pigeons were there also, while
the swine exhibit was the best ever.

The Department of Conservation
exhibit in the poultry building at—
tracted widespread attention and
there was always a crowd in that
end of the building. Leading va-
rieties of ﬁsh in Michigan waters
were a part of the exhibit of this
department.

The Better Baby Show was held in
the women’s building, formerly the
administration building, and during
the week two 100 per cent perfect
babies were found by the doctors

Fancy work was also on display in’

this building.

In years past the Boys’ and Girls’
Club members did not receive very
much attention but this year they’
had the building formerly occupied
by the women and the second story
was given over to living quarters for
the members, with exhibits on the
ﬁrst ﬂoor.

All kinds of' machinery to make
the house work less of a drudgery,
musical instruments, wearing appar—
el, furnaces and plumbing ﬁxtures
took up most of the space in three
huge buildings. One exhibit which
got a large amount of attention was
put on by Los Angeles county, Cali-'
fornia. It showed the different
lines of agriculture and horticulture
farmers engage in, in that county.

Automobile Exhibits

Three prominent automobile {nan-
ufacturing companies had displays
at the Fair and two of them had
their own bands too furnish enter-
tainment for the visitors.

The Ford display of wagons, bug-
gies, bicycles and automobiles, show-
ing transportation methods from the
early days through’ the different
changes up to date, was very inter-
esting. Also the two airplanes, one
a giant, three—motor monoplane and
the other the recently announced
air-ﬁivver,—both built by the Ford
Company interested the large
crowd ever present at the Ford ex—
hibit. A wood~burning locomotive
built in 1860 was part of the display.

Farm machinery occupied: much
more space this year than during
the past two or three years, and
among the display Were two recently
perfected machines to get Mr. Corn
Borer. One was a corn binder that
out the stalks close to the ground
and the other was a stubble pulver-
izer.

For entertainment there was the
midway which appeared to be of a
high class. There seemed to be no

 

.questionable shows, all of them be-

ing of the amusing and entertaining
type. Games of all kinds were plent—
iful, and all of them apparently con-
ducted in a‘ clean way.

Good horse races played, an im-
portant part in the entertainment

feature of the State Fair this year,.

and beginning Monday some of the
best horses in this country perform~
ed daily except Thursday and Satur-
day, before the grandstand. It, was
intended to have horse races Thurs—
day but rains left the track in such
muddy condition that they were call-
ed oﬁ. Saturday was given. over-to
automobile races; a 100-mile race
and three races of ﬁve miles each
with the best drivers of the United

' States entered.

Between races the crowds were
entertained by high class vaudeville
acts staged in front of the grand—
stand. The acts were ‘repeated in the
evening and followed by ﬁreworks.

Live stock judging took place\in
the Coliseum as did alsovthe milk-
ing contests.

Mathilda Rinke, of Warren, Ma~
comb county, won the girls’ milking
contest, retaining the championship
which has been in the Rinke family
for the last three or four years. In
the ﬁnal contest to ﬁnd the best

milkers, boys .or girls, Miss Rinke
lost out. Hugh Austin, 20 years old,
of Saline, who came to the Fair

with some of his father’s cattle and
some of his own sheep to exhibit,
carried off the, Grand Milking Cham-
pionship by producing 17.5 pounds

of milk in 4 minutes and 50 seconds, ,

which is a new record. Harold 'Mc-
Grath of Cass City won second, Curt-
in Smith of Adrian was third, and
Clara Lockwood of Reading fourth,
Miss Lockwood is only 13 years old.

Monday to Friday, inclusive, a
horse show was put on in the Colise-
um in the evening. A cat show was
also staged in this building during
the 'week.

Wins Approval

.Even though the weather was. un-
favorable most of the time paid ad—
missions totaled over 150,000 for
the seven days, compared with near-
ly 125,000 for ten days last year.

We spent consulerable time going
about the grounds and in the various
buildings and wherever we went we
found the people we talked with well
pleased with the State Fair this
year. The fear was expressed by
many at the time it was announced
that agriculture was to play a big
part in future fairs that the city
people would not attend, but this
Fair proved their fears groundless.
Not only were the city people there
but farm folks turned out in greater
numbers.
’ Farm leaders, actively connected
with the Fair for .the ﬁrst time in
many years, expressed themselves as
very hopeful of the future of the
Michigan State Fair.

SELLING TREES AND PLANTS

 plants on my farm to sell do I have '

to have a license? If so, what are
the charges? Do they have to be
inspected? If so, what charges?—
F. S. A., Farmington, Michigan.

HE Orchard and Nursery Law
has several exemption, one of
them being if a farmer wishes

to sell a few shade trees from his
woodlot, he need not comply with
the law. In this connection will say
that we have ruled that hardwood
trees are shade trees. Evergreens
are ornamentals and are not cover-
ed by the provisions of this exemp-
tion. We have also ruled that this
applies to a farmer who sells a few
trees to his neighbor or to a person
in town, but if he evidently makes a
business of selling to a dealer or a
nurseryman, who in turn sells to
the consumer, he must meet the re-
quirements of the law. If a Michi—
gan farmer grows strawberries and
wishes to sell a few surplus plants
to his neighbor, he may do so with-
out inspection.

Raspberry growers of Michigan

quire ’that all raspberries offered for
sale or shipment in Michigan must
have two inspections between J une
16th and September 15th.

To deal in nursery stocks and
small fruit plants, one must take out
a license yearly, the fee being $6.00,
and file with the Department of Ag-
riculture a bond for $1,000, which
can be readily executed by taking
two Michigan property owners be-
fore a notary public as sureties.

In connection wth nursery stocks
the minimum fee is $2.00 and high-
er for inspection, depending on the
acreage. The fee for strawberry in-
spection alone where plants are of-
fered to nursery-men is usually about
$1.00 or occasionally higher. In
connection with the double inspec-
tion of raspberries, the minimum fee
is $1.00, and the scale runs up de-
pending on the acreage.——-E. C.

SEVERAL QUESTIONS
’ Can you force unwone to pay rent

can one garnishee or sue for rent
past due? This particular house
rented for twice as much as it was

 

'worth. Would that. make any dif-

ference? Also where can one get a

What does it cost? Or is it all right
to use an assumed given name in
legal matters such as land contracts,
etc. Reader.

TENANT can be compelled to

PUTTING FERTILIZER IN AFTER
CROP IS PLANTED
Would it be advisable to sow
acid fertilizer on last year’s seed-
ing of. alfalfa and clover?—-D. 13.,
Fremont, Mich.

is a question of whether you
would see very much results
from its use in this manner, but
it would be a good scheme to try a
trial strip as your soil might be the
type that would be beneﬁted by it,
but it is always better to’use any
fertilizer previous to or with the
crop and have it well harrowed in.

SWEET OIDVER IN WHEAT

Please tell me how to sow sweet
clover in wheat in the spring to get
a good crop. Should it be sown
like common clever, or do you drag
the ground enough to cover the
seedT—D. H. Woodland, Mich.

HERE are two general methods
of seeding sweet clover in the
spring on fall sown wheat. The

ﬁrst method is to sow during the
winter or early spring, when the
ground is freezing or thawing, al-
lowing the sweet clover seed to be
covered by the freezing or thawing
process. This method is usually
successful when conditions are quite
favorable for sweet clover. On
very sandy soil or soils quite de~
ficient in organic matter, the freez~
ing and thawing process quite fre-
quently does not cover the seed.
The other method and the one
which has been found more depend—
able is that Of soiwng the seed
broadcast and covering with a spike
tooth barrow. In case grass and
clover seed drill is available, it may
be used quite successfully.-———C. R.
'Megee, Associate Professor of Farm
Crops, M. S. C. I

HE yellow eye bean will grow
and do very well here in the
state of Michigan. I have rais-

ed them in my test plats here at the
college for two years new and ﬁnd
they yield about the same as do the
red kidney, in some instances a little
more to the acre.

I would imagine that about 50 to
60 pounds to the acre would be
about the right amount of seed to
sow. They mature in about the
same amount of time as do the kid-
ney beans, possibly taking just a
little longer.—I-I. R. Pettigrove, As—
sistant Professor of Farm crops,
Michigan State College.

GROWING BEANS ON BEE'T
FIELD

Please tell me if a good beet crop
turned under will produce a good
crop of red beans. Our beets froze
in so I though I would turn them
under and plant to red beans.—
Reader.

GOOD crop of beets turned un-

der should add a great amount

of humus to your soil and thus
give it a greater "water holding ca—
pacity, with the nitrogen in the
beets becoming readily available.
The one suggestion which might be
made is to prepare your seed. bed
early so as to work it down thoroly,
using the diks, spring tooth barrow
and cultipacker, especially the culti-

‘packer to get a good ﬁrm seed bed.

With the crop of beets turned un-
der it probably would be advisable
to use 200 to 250 pounds of acid
phosphate to the acre to assure you
that your beans "will ripen uni-
formly and at about the proper time
in the fall. Turning under such a

large quantity of hosts might tend ‘

wondering if,your lease says you are
to replace any stock sold or that has
died during the period of the leash.
This is not just or reasonable. You
should however, replace the original
number of stock ,the landlord fur-
nished at the outset at the termin-
ation of lease. It should-be up to
the landlord to replace any of his
original number during the period
of the lease. If he sells one of the
original animals he furnished, the
proceeds are his, but he should re-
place /the animal at once. ,

The tenant, no doubt, has a claim
against the landlord for feeding
over a portion of this period the
heifer in question, for he has lost
such income as a share in the calf
and milk products. A more satis-
factory way is to own the‘ young

. stock in common from the outset.—

S to whether a board has the
right to select a site would de-
pend upon the provisions of

the act under which a school district
is operating. Boards of education
in many of the cities of Michigan do
have that right because the acts und-
er which they are operating give
the authority of the selection of the

Two‘Weeks
S I write this it comes to my

mind the the last time I talked'

with you I excused myself to go set
out the oats for the sixth time, as a
telephone message had just announc-
ed the arrival of threshermen next
day. The oats
were set out, and
the next day ar-
rived on sched-
ule time, but the
thresherman did
u o t ! N 9 , h e
c h a n g e d his
mind, as thresh-
ers are wont to
do, and went
east from our
c o r n e r , and
t h r e s h e d for
everybody along
the line, and was
to clean up the
jobs on our road on thereturn cir-
cuit. But, alas, the circuit is not
completed yet! This was two weeks
ago, and according to a quite accur-
ate prediction, it will be‘ another
week before he gets here. He has
been at one place now, for a week.
Engine trouble and rain are not con—
ducive to fast threshing. Our oats,
however, were in fair condition to
stack “the next day”, and that is
where they went. Did the thresher
disappoint us? No, not in the least.
When I was young in the farming
game, it did disappoint me when
the threshers failed to arrive as they
planned, but now, with the passing
years, I have grown wiser and never

 

L. W. MEERS

really expect to thresh until I see

the rig turn in our driveway!
Threshers are very much like an ac-
comodation train that used to run
through our town. If it was on
time it was a mistake, and if it was
late it was really on time at that.
But, somehow, some one must thresh
last, and possibly he will be some-
what put out in one way or another
——but no doubt next year the tables
will turn, and he will be one of the
favored ones. “The last shall be
ﬁrst, and the ﬁrst shall be last”, was-
n’t meant for threshing rule, but it
generally works out that way.
)l‘ 3k *

What Did I Say? .
Yes, what did I say in the last
talk about leaving alfalfa in bunches
long enough to kill out the plants
beneath? We cut alfalfa, and never
We had it
nearly all in bunches the second
day, and ﬁt to haul. But the weather
was good, so we helped a neighbor
thresh, intending to draw the alfalfa
the next day. Before the next day
arrived, came the hardest rain in
years. Five inches fell in about ﬁve
'hours, and at regular intervals ever
since we get from one half to one
inch of wet, to keep the alfalfa soak—
ed. So there seems no possibility of
its making hay, and we shall draw
it as soon as possible, wet or no wet,
and at least get it off the ﬁeld onto
one we shall plow next year. It
ought to make humus, when plowed

under. 1

Potatoes ,

Never have we had such a wonder—
ful growth of potato tops. It is a
task to walk through the ﬁelds. If
the tuber crop is in proportion to
the tops, we will need another stor-
age house. But we haven’t planned
it yet! Great thrifty tops do not al-
ways denote a bumper crop, and I
am inclined to think the tops have
overdone a good thing this year.
It is surprising how the Bordeaux
mixture adheres to the plants thru
all these rains. It has rain d so

. ' ' Guinea Hens

In a recent article mention was
made of the havoc done by rats in
our corn crib, and the statement
was made that we intended to build
a new crib in such a manner rats
could not enter. .

Now comes a letter from a good
friend in Custer, Mich., in which he
says Guinea hens are almost certain
to drive rats away from a farm. He
has quite convincing proof of it, and
as it is a new method of rat exter—
mination to us, we are wondering

whether any one else among M. B. F-

readers have perhaps tried it. If so,

 

 

I have been a. subscriber to your
paper since your ﬁrst regular issue,
and have always enjoyed it very
much. Think the department that
gives me the most pleasure is “Broad—
scope Farm News", by Mr. Mocks.
I enjoy his very sgnsible and practical
articles very much. Wishing you
continued success, I remain.-—-0rla
M. Clark, Clinton County. ‘

 

I;

we should like to hear from them.
If it is a success it would be a very
economical way, for really Guinea
hens are quite a proﬁtable proposi—
tion on the farm anyway. Seems as
if there is no other poultry meat
quite as good as that of the Guinea
and if it were not for their i‘mita-
tion saxaphone playing they would
be found on many more farms than
they are at present.

Fall Seeding

It seems many farmers would like
to sow alfalfa when they sow their
wheat and mention of this practice
was made in the last issue, and noth~

ing more deﬁnite can be said. It‘

may possibly be successful, but the
chances are too great against it.
Some may wonder why, if August 15
is a good date to sow alfalfa, why
September 15 should be altogether
too late. 1 Four weeks growth on
young alfalfa means a great deal, and
if it were possible for it to attain
growth enough, when sown in wheat,
to winter successfully, it would
either crowd the wheat the next
spring, or the wheat would crowd it.
Surely two crops could not make nor-
mal growth and, if left to cut when
the wheat was harvested, the alfalfa
would be nearly worthless. _

When so 11 alone in August it
should be ready for the ﬁrst cutting
the next June. Many want to know
about sowing lime for alfalfa. Shall
it be sown when wheat is, or sown
on wheat in spring when _,the alfalfa
is seeded? By all means sow the
lime when ﬁtting the ground for
wheat. This advice will be almost
too late by the time this copy reaches
its readers, but it is the gist of some
letters which have been sent out this
past week, and may be of some value
to some one, even at this late, date.

cast-aluminum, it keeps the water hot for an entire washing.

It will not rust, split, shrink, swell nor corrode. It cleans itself in
30 seconds and empties itself. ‘ .

Because of the scientiﬁc shape of this Cast-Aluminum Tub, and

the marvelous Gyrafoam principle, the Maytag washes twice as

dither sensual-en is being made

 about; Miehgsanis treniendous,

, rotors tree tag trim crop. As
one gentleman said to another .

“Where do they get that stud?" The

omit} estimate for apples - is only
‘60 per cent or a rail crop and for
er es .70 per
.. con . Nothing so

-t‘remendous
about that, in
tact  believe
that even this
estimate is too
, high as far as

the grape crop is
concerned. Many
‘ growers are al-
ready complain-
: ing about the
shortness of the
crop. Michigan's
estimated peach
crop is also far
from being a record-breaker. having
been exceeded in size three times in
the last 11 years. Much has also
been heard about the great national
apple crop but examination of the
records shows that this crop has
also been exceeded many times in
the past.

Talking about a ﬂood of fruit may
furnish amusement for some one but
we cannot see that it will help the
grower very much.

PEACH YELLOWS AND LITTLE-
PEACH

EACH yellows and little-peach
P are staging a comeback in parts
of southern Michigan. Growers
are urged to be on the lookout and
to promptly destroy all deseased
trees. There is some danger in the
fact that many of the younger grow—
ers are more or less unfamiliar with
the symptoms of these diseases.

BPRAYING RASPBERRIES

I would like to know about the
spraying of raspberries) The young
canes have a blight, sort of blotches
mostly on the lower part. What
should I spray them with and when
and would a duster work as good.
as spraying?—,—'C. M., Breckenridge,
Michigan.

OUR raspberries are no doubt
suffering from anthracn‘ose. Re-
move the old canes immediately

after harvest and spray each, year as
follows: 1.—Just as‘the leaf buds
begin to burst in the spring use 5
gallons of lime-sulphur in 50 gallons
of water. 2.——Just before the bios-'
some open use bordeaux mixture, two
pounds copper sulphate, tour pounds
lime and ﬁfty gallons water. I know
of no growers who use dust on rasp-
berries.

OLD BLACKBERRY PATCH

On a farm we have recently pur-
chased there is a patch of black-
berries that have not been tended
for years. They are the Eldorado
variety, and have spread all over
but yield practically nothing. What

 

Herbert rather

 

 

' is the best way of bringing the patch

up to what it should be and the
quickest? If we plowed out the

sprouts back to the original rows
If we cut

would they .do anything?

-___._ -ww,_’_.._lv

‘to attact peach trees.

I .4— s_._ _.._ »

or  an sprouts cit, would

they reduce a- erop or berries next

year at the new s routsrLA. w.—
13., East Jordan; Mic igan.

E would advise you to remove

-' the old canes from the rows

after harvest. Pruning or

plowing this late in the season would

notice advtsable as it may stimulate
a late ' rowth and cause winter k111-
fng. . ‘ext spring, early, plow the
patch back to the original Time and
keep}1 it dragged until picking time.
In t e early spring the ones in the
rows should be thinned about 8
inches apart, leaving the strongest
canes. The young sheets should be
pinched to a height of about 18 inch-
es during the summer. This makes
a stocky cane and encourages
branching. v

 

BROWN SPOT
What kind of spray is best to

control these brown spots on apples

and when to apply it?——H. C. K.,

Pompeii, Michigan.

IF the spots are sunken and the
skin unbroken then the trouble
may be due to early hail injury

or to stippen. The latter is a dis-
ease Which is thought to be caused
by extreme ﬂuctuations of water sup—
ply such as a drought immediately
Baldwin is
very susceptible and Spy and King
are also sometime troubled. The
brown spots are not conﬁned to the
skin but also extend through into
the ﬂesh of the apple. Johnathan-
spot is a similar disease which is
so serious on the Johnathan that the
culture of this variety is being given
up in some sections. Neither of
these diseases are curable and spray-
ing will do no good.

Scab spots can be controlled by
spraying with lime-sulphur solution.
These are graying’ in color and as a
rule, are not sunken. Spray just
before the blossoms are open, again
after the blossoms drop and again
two weeks later.

FIRE-BLIGHT

I have some apple trees that look
good and had taken good care of
them but once in a while I can ﬁnd
a limb where the leaves are curled
and dried up. I did cut the dry
leaves with limbs and all off but in‘
about a day or two there will be
some other limbs drying also. I
have the same trouble with the peach
trees; I must tell you that the trees
were sprayed when still dormant.—
J. P., Cedar, Michigan.

OUR apple trees are no doubt

suffering f r o m ﬁre-blight.

, Spraying will not control this
disease. The trees should be gone
over at frequent intervals and the
blighted limbs cut oil? well below the
diseased portion. Blighted spurs
should also be removed. The disease
may also rundown a limb and cause
a canker on the main branch. These
cankers should be cut out and the
wound disinfected with lysol or cor-
rosive sublimate solution.

We have never known ﬁre-blight
Your peach
trees are probably suffering from
some other trouble such as borers
or the effects of winter injury.

TEXT: “You are the light of the world.
Even so let your light so shine before
men; that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father who is in
heaven." Matt. 5:14a, 16. ‘

“ ET the lower lights be burning."
I hear you singing it now; and
you would mean it if you pond-

ered. It was a dark, wild, and star-
less night and a boat was plunging
in a heavy sea near Cleveland harb-
or. On seeing but one light in the
light—house, the captain asked, “Is
this Cleveland?” “This is,” said the
pilot. “But where are the lower
lights?” “They have gone out, sir."
“Do you think we can make the
harbor?” “We have no other choice.
We must try.” And the courageous
pilot did try, but only to send his
boat on the rocks. Lives were lost
because the lower lights on the harb—
or had gone out. It is related that
this incident prompted the writing
of our familiar hymn.

We are salt silently and incon-
spicously putting sweetening and
ﬂavor into the world to arrest its
decay. But, we are light sending
out conspicous and illuminating rays
to human crafts making for a safe
harbor thru the heavy seas of life.
Ye are “in the midst of a crooked
and perverse generation, among
whom,” says Paul, “ye are seen as
lights in the world, holding forth
the word of life.” “Ye are.” Grand
function! How thrilling to be parti-
cipants in such a royal work!

“Ye are the light of the world.”
How relatively eminent the Christ-
ian’s position is, may be seen in the
wordsof Christ, “I am the light of
the world; he that followeth me
shall not walk in darkness.” This be-
came apparent to the Revelator who
tells us, “there shall be no night
there.” A poetical conception is,

“This lamp from off the everlast-
ing throne,

Mercey took down and
night of time
Stood, casting on the dark her

gracious bow,
And evermore beseeching men
with- tears "
And earnest sighs, be-
lieve, and live.”

in the

to hear,

u

Verily, we are going on to that
time; yea, we are in that time in
proportion as we are light.

But again, “Whence this light?
Listen, “He was the true light that
lighteth every man that cometh in-
to the world.” The Jesus of our
fathers and of revelation has thrown
his long trail of light across the
centuries; and there Paul, Polycarp,
Huss, Luther, Wycliffe, Wesley,
Moody, Mott, Speer, Eddy, and oth-
ers have lit their torches to be light
in themselves.

It is well to keep in mind that
moral darkness and despair can
only be dispelled thru a constant
and vital touch with the Light-
Bringer. He has come to make us
light—holders.

“The spirit of man is the lamp of
Jehovah." We bow most humbly to
those who are lights in the ﬁelds of
science of invention, of literature,
and of industry. We are grateful for
those who labor there. In these
ﬁelds we all can not qualify as lights.
But all Christians are to be light—
holders of moral illumination, con-
viction, and certainty to e. perishing
world. -
V The other day I heard a speaker
who has a vivid and intense convic—
tion of the evils of intemperance.
I saw his face glow and felt his en-
thusiasm burn. Even so, light must
glow. That is its nature. Hear
Luther at Worms, surrounded by un-
relenting enemies ,pressed on every
hand to recent, and his life in peril!
Hear him say, “I cannot do other-
wise, so help me God." His verbal
lihtning and thunderbolts are still
reWerberatlng down the...centur-ies.

Evidently, he had caught hold of the ‘

robe of his Master‘and would not
let it go.

longing to spring your conviction
upon the world, it must be very fee-
ble indeed. The soap—box socialist.
soon lets you know what he has
found. And the world expects to
hear and learn from you. Light can
do nothing else but to shine. How
big a corner arevyou brightening?

Christ lit his disciples to shine.
They were sitting upon a mountain
communing. For across the valley
was a citadel perched upon the
rocks. Jesus said to them, “Do you
see that city? A city upon a hill
cannot be hid.” How simple—but
profound—the teachings! Christ-
ians are to be radiant and happy,
but not for themselves alone. Sup-
pose the Sun would say, “Now I am
going to keep all my light and
warmth for myself. I'll not risk
losing it thru shining into the dark
valleys, and forests of the earth.”
What would happen? All creation
would cry out against him. Will
your neighbors cry out against you
in the judgment? Some churches
act as if it were their chief business
to save religion rather than men.
So engrossed are they about “mint,
anise, and cummin” that they for-
get about men. It is generally sup-
posed by “the man in the street”
that the churches are to save men.
And doesn’t the church that is spend-
ing major strength and time to keep
creed and discipline intact, come
dangerously near cutting itself loose
from Christ? “Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
Because ye shut the kingdom of
heaven against men.”

“Let your light so shine before
men.” The lighthouse-keeper is in-
structed to care for the lights and
keep them burning. Why? So that
lake—burdened ships and wind-tossed
crafts might ﬁnd their way say thru
the darkness to the shore. But one
day he soliquizes, “I am instructed
to keep this light burning” and then
begins to throw the shutters over the
windows, saying, “I am not going to
let the wind blow it out.” Well, he
has light in his own little room, but
the sea is dark and the ships cannot
ﬁnd the harbor. He might as well
blow out his light for he has betray-
ed his trust. Let your light shine
before men. Said the men in the
barbershop, “Preachers are full of
platitudes about religion, but look at
their members.” How painfully, but
logically, true that the world judges
religion by the personal living of
professing Christians! “Ye, as liv-
ing epistles are read and known of
all men.”
most manifest explanation of the
Gospel. “Ye” not in the church pew
robed in saintly garments, but “ye”
in the home, on the street, in busi-
ness, and all life—expressions. Beech-
er said, “Give me one hundred men
of God and I will defy the inﬁdel
world.” 'But it took but one Luther
to stir a decaying order to its dregs.
The heat of his soul has burned the
dross out of thousands of inﬁdels.
So, we need men that glow, not
only when they sing; and that look
saintly not only when they pray. An
ill-smelling Christian creates an aw-
ful odor in the, community. But a
handful of folks who are Willing to

. be bruised so that the fragrance of

Christianity might be released, can
transform a community in a‘short
time.

“Let your light so shine”-—let it
shine “before men"——let it shine,
“that they may see," not you, but
“your good works"-——"and glorify,”
not you, but “your Father who is in
heaven.”

MEANING OF RADIO TERMS

Power ampliﬁer—An audio-frequency
ampliﬁer designed to deliver sufﬁcient
electrical energy to a sound reproducer
to make the signal audible in a large
ball or auditorium.

Refraction—The change in direction of
a wave when it strikes the boundary be-
tween two media of different density.

Reﬂection—the bending backward of a
wave when it enters a medium of differ-
ent density. For instance, a ray of light
entering water will bend upward.

Rotor—That part of any radio appar-
atus which turns, such as movable plates
for a condenser, the revolving part of a
vario-coupler, or variometer, or the ro-
tating part of an electrical machine.

Secondary—The second winding of a
transformer, or the winding which de-
livers energy.

Shunt—~A parallel connection. An in—
strument or piece of apparatus is con—
nected across the line or some other in-
strument in the circuit.

Taps—Connections made to an induc-
tance coil to vary the number of turns in—
cluded in the circuit.

Vacuum tube—An electron emission de—
vice having two or three electrodes en-
closed in a vessel from which air and

other gases have been removed to a high
degree Of vacuum. An electron relay.

Vernier—A device by means of which
accurate readings of a meter may be ob-
tained, or by means of which a ﬁne vari-
ation of instruments can be effected.

Static—The electrical disturbances due
to atmosphereic discharges, such as light—
ning, or charges sometimes accumulating
on the antenna due to moisture.

Tickler—An inductance coil, by means
of which energy from the plate circuit is
returned to the grid circuit, in order to
obtain regeneration.

Vario-eoupler—A radio frequency trans-
former in which the relative positions of
the two coils may be changed.

Ampliﬁer—A circuit or other device
which increases the intensity of electric
current; usually, it is a circuit compris—
ing one or more three-electrode vacuum
tubes.

Detector—Any device which renders
radio frequency signals perceptible; usu-
ally a rectiﬁer.

Fading—The irregular ﬂuctuation of
the strength of a radio signal from a
distant station, observed especially at
night. Its cause has not yet been deﬁ-
nitely determined.

Farad—The practical unit of capacity.
If a steady current of one ampere ﬂows
into a condenser, and the voltage across
the condenser is one volt at the end of
one second, the capacity of that condenser
is one farad. A microfarad is .000001
farad.

FIGHTING THE CHICKEN THIEF’

NHICKEN thieves are getting altogether too
C numerous and active. Last year the farm—
ers of Illinois lost around $1,600,000 worth
of: poultry, according to a recent investigation.
That seems like a rather high ﬁgure perhaps, but
we are inclined to believe that the value of the
poultry stolen in Michigan in one year would
amount to almost that ﬁgure. This would be
about one-third of the value of the chickens sold
off Michigan farms in a year.

So many farmers have had their poultry houses
raided that some of them are considering most
seriously abandoning the raising of any chickens,
except possibly a few to eat and supply/the family
with eggs. Feeling that something must be done
to prevent this increasing loss to the farmers of
our state Tan MICHIGAN BUSINESS Fame Service
and Protective Bureau has decided to offer $1,000
in rewards to folks who furnish evidence leading
to the arrest and conviction of any person guilty
of stealing poultry that is the sole property of a
paid-up subscriber to this publication. It is our
desire to make Michigan a mighty unpopular
place for chicken thieves and we are not asking
any of you to contribute one cent towards the
$1,000, but we will appreciate your helping us get
details regarding conditions in' your locality at
present.

Full details regarding this new service we are
offering you are given on the opposite page. .

THE NATIONAL DAIRY EXPOSITION

. URING the week from October 6th to 13th
the spot-light, as far as the farmers of this
country are concerned, will be turned onto

Detroit. It will be the National Dairy Exposition

week.

For the ﬁrst time, and perhaps the last, in the
history of‘ the National Dairy Association the an-
nual show will be held in Michigan this tall, at
the Michigan State Fair grounds. Many farmers
of this state have had desires to attend the

National Dairy Exposition some day, .and a. few ‘

of them have done so, going long distance at
considerable expense, but this year the show is
available to all of them at comparatively little
cost.

Folks came to the State Fair this year from
the most western counties of the Upper Penin—
sula and we expect to see them back to the dairy
show. Also we expect to see folks there from
every state in the Union as well as many of the
Canadian provinces. Many of them will come
with exhibits, but there will be thousands who
come purely to see the show. What they will
learn from the show more than justiﬁes the ex-
pense of those attending from distant states, so
farmers of Michigan can not afford to miss it.

Mark the dates on your calendar and plan to
be there. '

 

RURAL FIRE TRUCKS

N the rural sections surrounding Adrian, there -

is ' an organization, composed of farmers,
known as the “Rural Fire Protective Associa-
tion of Lenawee County. This association owns
a ﬁre truck to ﬁght rural ﬁres. It is kept in the
Albion ﬁre hall and operated by the ﬁremen of“

the time is not far off when there will be at 

least one organization of this kind in almost every
county in the state, particularly those that are
thickly populated. Insurance companies will be
only too glad to reduce their rates on rural prop-
erty when that time comes.

SELLING MICHIGAN AT THE FAIR

IN our estimation 3. well balanced state mi!
should sell the people on the state in which

it is held and we believe that the 1926 Mich-
igan State Fair did that—wit sold the people of
Michigan on their own state.

Exhibits told the visitors about the department
of agriculture, of the state agricultural college,
and of the farmers’ organizations. Choice fruits,
grains, live stock, poultry and other products of
the farm, were there from every section of the
state. Some of the ﬁnest cattle'from the state.
owned herds, in which every taxpayer has an in-
terest, were there, as well as horses, sheep and
swine owned by the state. Exhibits by Boys’ and
Girls' Club members, different schools, and the
State Department of Conservation, all increased
one’s knowledge'of this state. Then there were
the products of many of the leading factories of
Michigan on display to show what is produced in
the cities. ,

We believe that most of the folks who visited
the State Fair this year went away with a. new
appreciation of what a wonderful state we have.

9 "state of Michigan has declared
war you the chicken thieves 0!:"011'1‘

;-‘   The" Service and.-..Protecfive

I 1:,‘11,T‘.Bureaughas some twenty service men
'-  v  throughout our state and
 have reported from that to

time fromall sections, the fact that

chicken thieves are working over
'timein our rural districts. ‘ J
 f'd‘his condition has suddenly grow

worse until there are thousands of

. dollars now being lost through the
’ operations of these chicken thmves.

Unless drastic measures are immedi-

ately taken our readers will lose

thousands of dollars during the next
low months, due to the increased
price of poultry and, 'theretore. the
added returns oilered to the chicken
thieves through an extra good
"catch."

Realising fully that this is a ser-
ious condition now existing on the
farms, The Michigan Business Farm—
er has set aside"one thousand dollars
to be paid for the capturing, aiding
and assisting in the arrest and con-
viction of any and all chicken
thieves preying on the ﬂocks of our
subscribers. -

It is a mighty easy thing for the
long-ﬁngered boys who live in the
cities and who choose to eke out an
existence by prying on the farmers
of our state rather than doing an
honest day's work, to hop in their
cars any evening, drive out to the
ﬁrst good looking chicken coop, and
with an old sack under their arm
make a catch that is worth several
dollars to them. They have no
trouble in disposing of their product
and have found this a mighty re-
numerative job.

,While these chicken thieves are
operating all over the state of Mich-
igan, their evil presence is especial-
ly noticeable the closer one gets to
our large cities. As we stated be-
fore, it only takes a few minutes to
make a run out into the country sev-
eral miles, get a nice ﬂock of chick—
ens and beat it back to town without
any great risk on the part of the
thieVes. Many examples have al-
ready been found where ﬂocks have
been robbed from ﬁfty to as high
as ﬁve hundred chickens in a single
night. Other farmers have reported
a serieseot raids on the chicken coop
resulting in as high as two thousand

‘ﬁve hundred chickens being stolen
_ within a few nights.

It is the purpose of The Michigan
Service and Pro-
tective Bureau to work in close co-
operation with local oiiicers, county
sherlifs, and Michigan State Troop-
ers. Our plan will be presented to
all of these authorities and we have
already been assured that we will re-
ceive the closest cooperation possi-
ble to drive the chicken thief out of
the rural districts of Michigan.

If you should have chickens stolen
we want you to immediately report
this matter to your sheriff and in
turn write to us at once the details
of the robbery and we will not only
get in connection with the local
authorities but we will broadcast to

- .our ﬁeld service men the time and

place of the robbery and any oi our
men who are working in that vicinity
well immediately get in touch with

SWINDLERS GET $5,000 BUT
.. ARE CAUGHT
ECENTLY two rather oily ton-
gued chaps called on a farmer
living near Port Austin, Huron
county, and presented to him a plan

whereby he could get rich quick by »

an investment of only $5,000 in some
real estate near Detroit. One of the
men was a former employee of. the
farmer, ‘so he swallowed the bait,
hook, line and sinker. He was to
have his money ready inside of a
couple of days and the men would
return to take him to Detroit to see
the property and close the deal, if it
suited him. He got the money from
his bank and the men showed up at
the agreed time. One asked that he
might count the money and in the
presence of his partner and the
farmer proceded to do so then put-
ting the money in an envelope on
the table. The crooks then an-
nounced that they had forgotten
certain papers and would. have to re—
turn to the town nearby where they
were staying. The farmer picked
up the envelope and put it away to
await the return of the men. They
did not return that day and when
Mr. Farmer went to count his money
that evening he found the envelope
contained only paper folded to make
it look bulky. Nobody knows where
the crooks disappeared to with the
$5,000. ‘ 

Now comes the lucky part of it
all for the farmer. The police caught
them before they got far away, and
returned to the farmer over $4,000
in money and an automobile that
the men had purchased with the rest
of the $5,000. The men got 18
months to ﬁve years in the state ro-
formatory at Ionia.

It is usually about one case in a
hundred where such crooks are
caught, at least. before they have
gotten rid of all the money.

 1 "Terry Carpenter has an ofﬁce and he’s
censidered pretty good.” v
. “We’re not licked yet!” declared Doug.
Next morning it was decided that Terry
should go alone since there was consid-
erable work' to do on the ranch. 'He
went horseback since the road to town
was impassable for a car altho the main
highway was kept open.
He found Mr. Carpenter in his office.
a little den joining the general store, in-
troduced himself and went directly to
the 'point.
“Can’t we make them thresh our grain
if they operate the rig at all?" he ﬁnished.
' "No." said Carpenter, “you can’t, be-
cause the way they’re organized it isn't
a public utility but a privately owned
machine, not working for the public in
. general. 'The only way you can possibly
, . force them to tlire'sh for you is to become
" possessor of a share in the rig.”
“No chance of that,” said Terry discon-
solately. “How much do I owe you?"
“Nothing,” said Carpenter promptly.
"When I can be of real service to you
then I can charge you accordingly."
“Then I’m very much obliged,” said
Terry rising. ’
 “Good luck," said Carpenter pleasantly
~‘ and followed him to the door.
‘ A supersix purred and turned into the

  

highway to Denver, a single man, well
' above middle age, was driving.
Carpenter’s eyes followed the car.
‘ “Guess Carey’s going out,” he said.
Terry whirled. “Who?” he asked.

"C. D. Carey, owner of the U Bar
here and in Texas. He spends the sum-
mers here and the winters down there.”

Terry’s horse stood at the railing, reins
dangling. Into the saddle the lad leaped
and spurred after the ﬂeeing car.

Had it not been for the fact that the
road‘was covered with loose snow, render-

in‘g" fast driving difﬁcult, he would never
have overtaken the car. As it was, he
\ rode up alongside after a chase of half
' a mile and halted the car.
"What is it?” asked Mr. Carey. open-

  
  
   
   
 
   
    
 
  
    
  
    
   
     
  
    
  
  
   
  
     
   
   
  
  
     
     
   
 
  
 
   
  
 
   
   
  
   
  
  
   
 
 
  
 

ing the door. "A hold up?" He was
‘smiling. _
“Yes, sir," said Terry, "guess it is.

Have you time to talk to me a minute?"

“Plenty of it.”

Terry explained the situation and
wound up by asking for the privilege of
‘buying a share in the rig.

“We're not ﬂushed with money but we'll

pay you anything in reason,” he said.
“Will you let us have it?"
“Why yes." said Carey. "They're a

stiff-necked bunch over there on the

creek, but not so 'bad after you know

them. I paid Zwick two hundred dollars
for that share and I’ll let you have it
, ' for what it cost me. Ride back to Car-
' .penter's ofﬁce and we‘ll ﬁx it up." '

V In ten minutes the deal was made and
Terry rode into the corral late that after-
noon waving his hat and yelling.

"Caught Carey Just as he was leaving,"
he said. "Now we'll see what’s what.

Threshing started the next day. With
the exception of Kord, the members of
the crew seemed glad to have them in.

one of the best snow teams on the moun-

the mill about ten o'clock that night,
with the team utterly played out.

The owner of the mill,gwhich had been
abandoned for a year, lived a quarter of
a mile up a draw. They managed to get
the team to the barn, watered. fed and
stabled them and awoke the man.

after their arrival they meet up with Kord, their next door neighbor, one of the
meanest cussos you ever heard tell of. Then the family arrives, and things
start happening pretty regular. First their stacks of grain are set on ﬁre, then
they have trouble in finding their cattle. Next, they discover that if they are
to have their grain threshed they will have to buy an interest in the threshing
rig, and they are again opposed by Kord. Now go on with the story.

ROF. Alfred Knight Chittenden, Professor of
Forestry and Head of the Department olf‘

’ Forestry at M. S. 0., was born in Neleaven,
Connecticut, in 1879. His father was director of
the Shefﬁeld Scientiﬁc School of Yale University.
He recived his early education at the Hopkins
Grammer School and graduated from the school
directed by his father in 1900, where he studied
civil engineering. Continuing his training at Yale
he took up forestry and  the degree of
Master of Forestry two years later. Following
this . he spent some time abroad studying ‘ forestry
in many foreign lands. Upon his return to the
United States he was engaged by the U.’ S. Depart- '
ment of Agriculture. In 1913 he was appointed to the ,di-
rector of the Engineering Experiment Station and lecturer on lumber
at the University of Illinods, and the next yam-gimme to  S. 0. as

rush to get a ﬁre in her. _
"Water’ll freeze if we don’t," he said.
Dry wood was in abundance and soon
a great ﬁre [was roaring..thru the Wild-
cat's rusty dues and the boiler began
singing. ' ‘ ' ~ ‘ .2
“She don’t leak a drbp, Terry.” said
Doug with huge satisfaction. "She’s com-
in' ﬁne." ’ . ‘ .- ' ‘ . 
.At threeo'clock the steam gauge stood ‘
at a hundred pounds. Doug ﬁlled the
(bunkers with coal and the tank with wa
ter. ' I . '
"She's ready," he said. “Get the team
and I'll start her up the grade. You can
soon catch me." ' ‘
“No use you boys starting now." said
Mr: Cole.‘ “It’ll be. dark in an hour or
so. ' .
“Got to do it,” said Doug. “The snow's
getting deeper all the time up there on

the divide. We'll have the time of our
lives getting thru.” ’
“You will that," agreed Mr. Cole.

“Watch your water. The creeks are a
good ways apart in places.”

"We’re a. thousand times obliged to
“You helped
us out a lot."

.“Glad to do it. Glad to do it."

Doug opened the throttle. The engine
started and ran smoothly. There Was
a. small piston knock but it disappeared,
as the engine gathered speed.

Doug turned the engine and the Wild-
cat drove snorting up the grade thru. snow
almost over the front trucks. Terry
caught him before he had gone half a
mile. left the team to follow, and climbed
up beside him. ‘ _ '

They made four miles'before darkness
fell. - Then Terry tied the horses to the
sled and fed them while Doug banked
the ﬁre. They spread the blankets on the
ﬂoor of the cab, ate supper and went to \
sleep with snowﬂakes hissing against the
hot boiler.

With the ﬁrst streaks of dawn they
were up, and were on the road as soon
as there was sufﬁcient light to see.
The grade.became steeper and the snow
deeper as they advanced. The engine
labored harder and harder.

At noon they were but ﬁve miles from
the top. and stopped. at a small stream
and took on water.

“If we can get over the top today we'll
make it,” said Terry.

“We’ll make it if it takes a leg,” said
Doug.

After dinner the snow
what and became sticky. It began to
roll up on the drivers. It would roll up
on them until it was a foot and a half
thick, then fall off on one side, leaving
the engine tilted at 'a dangerous angle.
It cut down the power, too.

“If it sticks this way on that pitch
just before we get to the top we’ll never
make it," said Doug. “And there’s no
brakes- to hold this thing with. You’d
better have a good chock ready when we
get there."

Terry found a short 6x6 in the sled and
put it on the ’engine. About four o'clock
they struck the last pull, a bad one.

Just before going into the climb Doug
shut off. The drivers were coated with
snow over a foot thick.

“Let’s knock that off before we start,
Terry,” he said, “and I’m going to put
on steam till she pops. She’ll never make
that grade on a measly hundred pounds.
If she blows up, let her go. Just as well
blow up as stick here."

He opened the draft and coaled the en-
gine while Terry cleared the drivers. Up
the needle on the steam gauge climbed,
up to a hundred twenty, thirty, forty,
then to forty-ﬁve.

“Must be a high pressure boiler," mut-
tered Doug. "or else the safetyavalve’s
stuck." Up the needle went to a. hundred
and ﬁfty, then to ﬁfty-ﬁve, nearly to one
hundred sixty. Then the safety valve
began to grumble and a great cloud of
steam shot out with a great noise.

Doug grinned. "Better tie the team
“If we start back
down the grade it'd be a mean mixup to
meet them comin' up.”

"Good idea," said Terry. He tied them
off the road and climbed back up beside
Doug. _ ,

Doug jerked the throttle wide open and
the Wildcat hit the grade lurching like a
runaway freight car. Up she went. the
exhaust increasing until it became one
continuous roll, then the snow began to
bank up on the drivers. Higher and
higher it piled, slower and slower became
the exhaust.

“She's geing to quit us!" yelled Doug.
“Have that chock ready!" ,

Down leaped Terry with the chock.
The engine was stuttering and faltering
Weakly. ‘

"Now!" yelled Doug, and shut off.
“Watch your hands !" he said. ‘

As the engine settled back with a ”
clank, a cry of pain escaped Terry":

"They knacked the snow ‘or'r’the drivers

up that hill as easily as a Lizzy does a
two per cent grade.

“‘She’s a pullin’ fool !" said Doug proud-
ly. “Watch her walk !” g V

Up‘ the“ grade charged the Wildcat, over
the top and rammed her nose into. a ten
foot drift, bored into it until she was
almost buried, then Doug shut off.

"Have to shovel some here," he said,
"but we’ll make it now if we have to
tunnel.” " '

“Now you’re talking!” exc’laimed Terry.
“I’ll bring up the team.”

When darkness fell they were across

’ the drifted part of the divide and ready

for the descent. Five miles below the
light at the ranch twinkled welcomingly

.thru the feathery snow. .

"There's a warm ﬁre down there," said
Terry longingly.

“And hot biscuits,"- added Doug.

“And a piece of pumpkin pie as thick
as a dictionary," continued Terry. “This
is Thanksgiving. ‘ you know.”

“Say; it is! Let’s'let 'em know we’re
living," said Doug, and reached for the
whistle cord.

The Wildcat had a whistle worthy the
name, and when Doug yanked 'the cord
back-.the stillness of the night was torn
to shreds. Again and again the whistle
yelled until Terry put his ﬁngers over
his ears. ‘

“Say, Terry !” exclaimed Doug eagerly,
“let’s drive this old boat in tonight! You
can hang the lantern bn the back of the
sled and drive in front and we’ll make it.
It’s all down hill.”

"I’m on,” said Terry. He hitched up
the team and pulled around in front and
the descent started.

Doug: and beyond a couple of creak's

they didn't.

straight thru it like a rotary snow plow,‘

house. There Doug tied the whistle cord
back and they climbed down to meet the
family. ‘

“Here we are l” greeted Doug. “Any
biscuits left, Mary?" ‘

“Plenty,” she said. “and 'plenty else
besides."

The boys were bubbling over with good
spirits despite the wear and tear of the
long pull, but the rest of the family did
not seem to share their enthusiasm.
Mort was as solemn as an owl. '

Terry was the ﬁrst to notice it. “What's
the matter?" he asked. “Anybody dead?”

“Kord’s jumped your claim," said Mort
shortly. “I feund his foundation and no—

Terry's jaw dropped away down. So
did Doug's.

Some Time and Labor Saving Ideas

By JAS. N.

Sealing Silo Doors

WILL repeat an item of one year

ago because of its importance to

the man with a Silo. For sealing
around the doors use clay mud just
like the old fashioned “chinking” of
log cabins. This mud put on with a
paddle or pointed trowel is so cheap
and effective that when once tried
all other appliances will be aband-
oned. One farm journal advised us-
ing parrafﬁn melted, when a clay
motar is quite as good and costs
nothing. If one wants a chemical
name for clay and feels mud is too
plain he can say alluminum sillicate
makes the best and cheapest selling

for silo doors.
* tl‘ Ilt

Mending Trace

An old lumberman showed me an
effective way of trace mending
where the break was near the upper
end viz: two of the couplings used at
the end to attach the trace chains
were riveted on each end at the
break and connected into an oval
chain link, the belly hand strap being
attached to this link. Often time two
broken traces can be made into one
very serviceable one by this expedi-
entu I regard this device as super—
ior to .the metal splices which are

often used.

Cement Food Floor

To the man~who is making a. ce-
ment feed ﬂoor and has plenty of

MCBRIDE

small stone, the concrete motor cost
can be cut at least one—half and the
same is true of most concrete walls,
the professional cement contractors
to the contrary notwithstanding.

3|: * *

Plowing Alfalfa

Much of the grief connected with
plowing alfalfa so can be overcome
by sharpening the cutting portions
of the plowshare every two or three
hours. A carborundum grinder on
a mandrel driven by power is the
proper sharpener and will pay for
itself on the ordinary farm in one
year. The effective use of a plow
point can be tripled as well as its
use for sharpening all cutting tools,
including cultivator teeth. Solomon
said in the proverbs that if the tool
was dull to put'on more strength,
but that was when labor was cheap
and before much knowledge "of

abrasives.
* * *

Grain \Vagon

A grain wagon to hold 100 bushels
or more is a handy arrangement and
can be built on the frame of an
abandoned manure spreader at a
small cost. This grain wagon can be
used for handling the fed grains to
cattle, sheep or hogs and serves as
temporary storage bin. When gran—
aries are equipped for elevators
either by blower or cup elevators
grain wagons can displace bags and
much labor at threshing time.

some of you have as I am sure that he

he had stayed at home as you all know

Are you acquainted with him? Well
that’s enough of that.

I expect to go to Indiana soon if noth-
ing serious happens. I truly hope so as
I know that I could have the best times.

I want to take this opportunity to
thank you, Uncle Ned, for the check that
I received. I was surprised indeed.

It will soon be time for school t start.
won’t it? Those days of sittin in the
school room (which are to come) look
dull to me now but I suppose that when
I get through with school that I will
wish—a hundred times—that I could have
them back again just as I have those that
are gone forever——those when I was in
the lower grades.

Well I must close. Really I didn’t in-
tend to take up so much time when I
ﬁrst started. Thanks for the attention.
Please always remember me as a booster

“Toms DREAM”

One day as Tommy was 'outdoors play-
ing he saw a butterﬂy on a ﬂower. It
was a beautiful butterfly with golden
wings. "Oh! if I could only catch it”,
he cried, "I would have it for my play~
mate.”

So Tommy started after it, he almost
had his hands on it when it began to
ﬂy toward the woods. Tommy followed
the butterﬂy so far he lost his way. All
of the sudden a puff of wind blew the
butterﬂy out of sight, so Tommy had to
stop. He looked around but he could”
not ﬁnd his way, so he lay down at the
foot of a tree and went to sleep.

Soon he had a dream that an old witch
came along and saw him laying on the
ground and said, "What are you doing
so far away from home? Come with me
and I will show you the way home,"
so Tommy went with her. '

“Little boy, what is your name?"

“Tommy.”

“Oh, that's a nice name. You must be
tired come I will carry you.” At that
she grabbed him. Soon they turned a.
corner and there stood the witches palace.
She walked over to a little shed and
pushed him in and shut the door. Tommy
began to cry and woke up. He soon
found his way home.

He never wandered away into the woods
again for fear the witch would be in the

A Game to Play

 

 

TEE BEEF AUUI'ION
N amusing but often extremely
embarrassing game is the Beef
Auction. The auctioneer an
nounces that he or she has a beef
for sale, and the rest of the party
choose the part they require. The
auctioneer leads on with, say, the
leg of the animal.

“The head for me, please," cries
number one. .

“I’ll have the sirloin," says the
next player.

“The tail for me," is the request
of number three, and so on until
everyone has choosen a part of the
beef. .

The leader then secures a prom
ise from the players that they will
repeat whatever he says, altering
only the last word, when the part
of the bullock they have chosen is
substituted.

' "I wish someone would rub my
leg," says the leader.

“I wish someone would rub my
head,” is the request of the next
person, and so on all around.

If any player ﬁnds the part he or
she has chosen too embarrassing, the
relentless leader announces that
“Miss— wishes someone would
rub her shin bone,” Miss hav-
ing to pay a forfeit.

After everyone has repeated the
wish for rubbing the auctioneer goes
on wishing someone would kiss, ca-
ress, paint, etc, her head, ear .or
heart, and the rest of the party fol-
low suit amid much merriment.

p Long ago this plan was recognized
by school districts consolidating to

save money or get better. schools—-

recognized by county fair organiza-

"tions, two or more combining and

holding one good paying fair rather
than several small ones poorly at-

tion is used in organizing dairy and

More recently WashingtonJ—Pres-

"boards and commissions at a saving

of millions in taxation. State gov-
ernments have followed suit.

County consolidation should save
possibly half of the local tax. One
court house, instead of four or ﬁve,
one jail, one county farm, etc., the
district court holding session in one
ﬁxed place instead, of moving from
place to place, and above all one set
of county officials. Nor would the
plan affect present“, county oilicials,
since even their second terms will
have expired before consolidation be-
came effective.

Heretofore the custom was to di-
vide large counties—«farmers voted
for the division in order to place
themselves within driving distance
of the county seat, but distance has
been greatly; eliminated by automo-
biles, good roads, telephones, rural
mail, radio and the nearest local

TOP 0’ MICHIGAN SHOW SCHED-

ULED FOR NOVEMBER 8 TO 5

HE Fourth Annual Top 0’ Michi-

gan Potato and Apple Show will

be held at Gaylord, November 3,
4, 5, according to Mr. A. C. Lytle,
Secretary. A larger and more at-
tractive premium list is being pre-
pared and an especially strong edu-
cational program is planned for the
occasion. Any grower from Che-
boygan, Otsego, Crawford, Alpena,
Presque Isle, Emmet, or Antrim
counties are eligible to compete for
the $1,200 in cash prizes offered. In
fact, every county, except Charlevolx,
in the northern “tip” of Michigan is
contributing ﬁnancially toward the
Show and is, therefore eligible. The
Show is also receiving ﬁnancial sup—
port from the Michigan Central Rail-
road, the Northwestern Michigan De-
velopment Bureau, and the State of
Michigan.

Mr. Fred Brudy, President of the
Show and a prominent potato grow-
er r‘ Wolverine, says, “The Top 0'
Michigan Potato Show has become
an institution in northern Michigan
which we are unable to get along
without. Not only has it advertised

and demonstrated the fact that this.

'.,railroad can join hands with all oth-
’er‘ taxpayers, 'and if the rialroad
"saves half its local taxes it will be in

position to. reduce freight‘rates.

Consolidation would work best
where counties are small and. thinly
populated. There is little reason for
such counties to have almost the
same overhead as larger and more
thickly populated counties.

The San Luis Valley, Colorado had

six sets of oﬂiciails for its popula-
tion of 31,928 in 1920, one county
having less than 800 people,--only
one had over 8,000. ‘One state in
Mexico has three legislatures and
seven governors! We laugh—why?

Nature has ﬁxed certain -"natural
boundries, such as the San Luis Val-
ley of southern Colorado, for which
consolidation was ﬁrst proposed.
This valley with all-year good roads
seems meant by Nature for one
,county and judicial district, as it has
one climate, one water shed and is

' entirely surrounded by high mount—

ains. It already leads with many of
the best consolidated schools accord-
ing to Dr. Winship, of Boston, well-
known educational authority—Fred
L. Morris, Lawrence, Kansas.

more as a place to meet our neigh-
bors and exchange ideas. We be-
lieve that the Show will be better
than ever and we hope that all the
farmers in northern Michigan may
’avail themselves of this opportunity.
We especially want the growers of
apples and potatoes to select some of
their very best and bring them out
to the Show. One grower received
over $50.00 last year in prize money
and there is no reason why every
one should not get some of lthe
$1,200 being offered.”

It is of interest to know that the
Top 0' Michigan Potato Show was
the ﬁrst show of its kind held in this
part of the United States, State
shows have been in vogue for many
years, but the show held at Gaylord
four years ago was the ﬁrst “district
show." The idea has now become
very popular and is being copied ex~

OUTLINE FOR MEALS MAKES
' PLANNING EASY
'.‘ EAL-PLANNING can be re-
duced to the simplest terms
with a good outline to follow”

__ says the state college of home eco—

nomics at Ithaca, N. Y. “An out-
line which includes the foods neces-
sary each day insures the proper
combinations of foods and leaves
nothing for the housewife to do but
to ﬁll in the speciﬁc dishes for the
daily three meals.”

To help housewives the college
has worked out a plan for the day’s
meals and allows enough leeway for
Variety from day to day.

Fruit, milk, and whole cereals are
the important breakfast items of the

~ meal .plan. At least on—half cup of

fr it; fresh, dried or canned, is re-

 . co mended. A whole cereal break-

fast with milk or an equal amount
of bread with milk to" drink should
be provided. Whole cereal bread,
toast or mufﬁns with butter, and a
beverage complete the plan for an
adequate breakfast. Heartier meals
for persons doing muscular work de-
mand eggs, bacon, or potatoes.
Doughnuts, cookies, jams, marmal-
ades, and pancakes are considered
desserts, to be eaten only after the
essential foods.

Dinner, whether at noon or at
night, should include potatoes unless
dried beans, rice or macaroni is used,
and at least one—half cupful of other
vegetables. Meat, ﬁsh, poultry or an
egg or cheese dish should also be a
part of this meal, with whole cereal
bread and butter to accompany the
__ main course. A light dessert such

,

t as fruit, plain or in salad or pud-

ding, simple cake or cookies, ice, or
ice cream is advised when the main
part of the meal is heavy. Pies,
rich cakes, shortcakes, and steamed
puddings may follow a light main
course. «
The supper or lunch plan consists
of a vegetable, milk in some form,
whole grain in bread or as a cereal
with milk, a light dessert, and an
egg or cheese dish to make a more
substantial meal. Milk is advised
as a drink for children at every meal,
and adults may have tea or coifee.

 

DO YOU KNOW \VHAT HE EATS?
HAT is your child eating?

Children who get the proper '

food have the best chance for
good health. Good food in the right

" amounts is necessary for strong,

well-built, and well functioning
b o d i e s. Proteins, carbohydrates,
fats, minerals, and vitamins are
needed. The state college of home
economics at Ithaca, N. Y., offers
a way to judge the right food for a
child. They advise a quart of milk
a day for each child, either to drink
or in cooked foods, three servings
of vegetables, one of Which is pota-
toes, two servings of fruit, preter—
ably fresh fruit, more whole cereals
than reﬁned ones, whether in bread
or breakfast food, and an egg a day.
If the child gets these foods every
day, he is fairly sure of getting the
right amounts of protein, carbohy-
drates, and the rest, and his chances
of being a healthy, vigorous person
all his life are greatly strengthened.

EAR FOLKS: Several years 'ago I heard Dr. Whiteﬁeld Ray lect- I

are on his travels thru South America. He was a most interest-
ing speaker, covering the geography of the country very thorough-

ly, never, forgetting the funny things which gave us many a hearty ..

laugh. .

They have many wonderful cities in South America but his travels
took him through some of the interior countries, which are occupied
by savages. ' One village, though not peopled with savages, had a
queer idea of milk delivery. Each morning at daybreak the milkman
drove his cows through town, stopping long enough to milk the re-
quired amount in whatever vessel the customer may have provided.

It is a long way from such service as this to our modern way of de-
livering milk and all dairy products.

During the week of October 6th to 13th the National Dairy Exposi-
tion wil be held on the Michigan State Fair grounds, at Detroit, under
the direction of the National Dairy Association.

This association was formed in 1915 but this is the ﬁrst time the
exhibition has ever been held in Michigan.

Farm women from every county in Michigan and from many other
states will meet in a Farm Women’s School which will embrace
lectures, demonstrations and meetings of value to farm women in their
actual home life, according to an announcement made by Mrs. Edith
M. Wager, of Carleton, Michigan, who will have charge of this de-
partment. ' ’

There will be an exhibit of home appliances in charge of trained
women. Farm women will be shown how better dairy herds will
make possible the purchase of these appliances in a short time, from
the increased income.

We know the many dairy farmers throughout our state are watch-
ing this date with great in-
terest, and we hope that
many of our women may
have the opportunity of at-

OBSERVED AT THE STATE FAIR

WE don’t know just who wished the job onto us, but it fell to the

lot of the cashier and myself to represent the M. B. F. at the '

State Fair. At ﬁrst we dreaded it just a little but before the
week was over we had a lot of fun out of it and met many interesting
people.

We (lid not count the nice things people said about our paper but
out of the hundreds of people who passed our booth only two unkind
or unjust remarks, be which it may, and every time any one said,
“Yes, we take it,” our hearts swelled with pride.

It was like watching a movie only better, as the different types of
humanity passed before our view. There were tall ones, short ones,
fat. ones, slim oncs, among both young and old. Some Whose faces it
Was a joy to watch and others, whose expression made you wonder
why they came.

One day a smiling gentleman introduced himself as “Mr. England
from Ireland,” and one of the very ﬁrst ones to send in his name for
M. B. F. He told us there were just two things in his life of which he
was proud—ﬁrst, he won every vote when he ran for sheriﬂ’ of his
county, and second he had married twice in the same family. Need-
less to say, we enjoyed this caller.

Another man wearing a blue ribbon, stopped at our table; of course
we offered him a sample of our paper but were somewhat taken back
when he said, “NO MAM, don’t want your paper, I’ve got your
number," then with a twinkle  eye added that he was in charge
of the fruit display and feared we would be calling on him for free
samples, if he accepted ours.

A New York-Michigan farmer who stopped to rest advised us that
farmers in New York didn’t have to work, they just elected Al Smith
for Governor, then sat back and watched the crops grow until next
election time. He also asked our opinion on the political situation in
Michigan at the present time and if there were any men connech with
our organization. To convince him, we displayed our folders on “Edi-
torial and Field Service." 4

Soon after another smiling lady invited us to view her display of

banned goods which had taken “sweepstakes” in this class. She had

good reason to be proud .of her work and a little later has p'omi5ed
us an article on how she makes her “extra” money. She took an awful
chance in showing us where to ﬁnd a'can of "chicken, but of course she
didn’t know our weakness in that direction we managed to maintain
the. reputation of the M. B. F. We were very glad to meet Mrs.
Vandenberg. ‘

One night leaving the grounds on a bus, the driver urged the pass-
engers to step back, which all were glad to do for a woman with a
baby, each one leaning and squeezing to let her into a proffered seat.
Then she turned the blanket back to uncover; the .“poor little darl-
ing’s” face but it was only ,a (mt—not a baby. ~Perhaps this cat had
won a ribbon or a cup “at the Fair but the grunts of disgust which
popped out were not pleasant to hear. v I '

Now we are hoping they will send us again, in 1927. ”

-: returns teeth. but Draw“!-

 .‘¥'¢ 1y“ n'o'emphasis has been laid on the-

es'sential foods necessary to grow

,and maintain "strong teeth, points

out Marie C. Doermann, foods spe-
cialistat the New Jersey State Col-
lege of Agriculture. '
“Good teeth are, to a. large extent,
a matter of inheritance. Long be-
fore baby arrives the foundation of

,the ﬁrst is laid. Mother needs to

fortify herself with plenty of lime
and iron containing foods like milk,
leafy vegetables, and fruits, to have

an adequate amount of building ma- ,

terial for the teeth and bones of the
child. ‘ . _
“The ﬁrst years of a child’s life
are the most important from every
point of view. If his body is to de-
velop and grow normally, milk, veg-

etables, and fruits, to have an ade-.

quate amount of building material
for the teeth and bones of the child.

“The ﬁrst years of a child’s life.

are the most important from every
point of view. If his body is to de-
velop and grow normally, milk, veg-
etables, fruits and whole grain ce-
reals will be the foundation foods,
its they contain plenty o flime, and
ron.

“Temporary or baby teeth often
need to be ﬁlled and not pulled. If
they are taken out too early the ad-
joining teeth soon spread and oc-
cupy the space. Thus when the per-
manent tooth appears, there is no
place for it and uneven teeth are the
result.

“Good mastication, which means
eating plenty of coarsest vegetables,
fruits and breads, exercise the gums
and aids digestion. Many dental
authorities believe that foods and
thorough mastication can improve
the enamel and dentine in the teeth
of adults.

“Regular visits to the dentist ev-
ery six menths will usually prevent
all tooth—ache and keep the teeth in
good co ition. By giving atten-
tion to t 'e smallest cavity the~life
of the tooth Will be preserved and
much agony avoided.”

Resilver Mirror.—Could you tell me how
to recover the back of a mirror. I have
one that the quick silver has “come off
in spots—Mrs. K., Three Rivers, Mich.
——Clean the bare spots on the back of
your mirror by' rubbing gently with ﬁne
cotton, taking care to remove all grease
and dust. If this cleaning is not done
very carefully, defects will appear around
the place repaired. With the point of a
penknife out upon the back of another
looking glass around a portion of the
silvering of the required form but a
little larger, for each spot. However,
work on one spot at a time and complete
it before ﬁxing the next one.

Upon the piece of silvering place a
small drop of mercury; a drop the size
of a pin head will be sufﬁcient for a sur-
face equal to the size of a nail. The
mercury penetrates the amalgam to where
it is cut off with the knife, and the re-
quired piece may be now lifted and re-
moved to the place to be repaired. This
is the most difﬁcult part of the operation.
Then press lightly the renewed portion
with cotton. It hardens almost immedi-
ately, and the glass presents the same
appearance as when new.——Mrs. A. T.

Street Courtesics.——1. The place next
the curb, for the man walking with a.
lady on the street, is the traditional rule
still generally observed. In cities now—
adays, however, it is usually not insisted
upon. The inner was originally the "pro-
tected” side, and modern urban condi-
tions have done away, more or less, with
the need for special protection.

2. The rule of precedence when a' man
and woman are together in public sim-
ple. The man preceeds the woman wher-
ever inconvenience, difﬁculty or danger
may be supposed to exist: in passing
through a dark and narrow alley in ‘town;
or along a thorny or marshy path or'a’
broken stretch of road in the country:
invforcing a way through a crowd. A
man allows a woman to precede him when
entering a doorway (he should "swing"
a revaolving door for her)’ an elevator
or a conveyance, He precedes her to aid
her when they leave any vehicle.

6. A gentleman will never obtrude on
a woman accquaintance or friend in the
street; as, for instance, when she is walk-
ing with another woman or man whom
he does not know. "

7. Never stop a. lady point-blank in
the street to talk. A side-approach, tip-
ping the hat, speaking and continuing to
walk with her is the tactful and more
graceful way to maneuver .the open g of
'a street conversation.

8. Bow to or thank the person who
holds open a door or performs some other
courtesy for you. The man would of
course tip his hat as well to the lady who
so favored him.

 

 

For the Movie F on

 

 

The Volga Boetman.—It has been quite
some time since I have seen a picture
that I enjoyed as much as I did this one.
The press agent of the picture calls it
"The compelling story of the supreme
love of a princess and a plebian boat-
man in revolution-torn Russia, with a
smashing climax", and I am willing to let
his description stand without change.
William Boyd, 8. young man who is headed
for stardom, plays the part of the boat—
man, while Elinor Fair is the princess.
Several other well known actors are in
the cast.

 

 

The Runner’s Bible

 

 

They that seek the Lord shall not want
any good thing. Ps. 34:10.

State the truth that all things good is
yours, deny the belief that anything can
interfere with it and it Will become mani-
fest in all your affairs.

Our sufficiency is God. 2 Cor. 8:5.

Except the Lord build the house, They
labour in vain that build it: Except the
Lord keep the city, The watchman waketh
but in vain. It is vain for you that ye
rise up early, and so late take rest, And
eat the bread of toil: For so he giveth
unto his beloved in sleep. Ps.127:1-2.
(E. R. V.)

'fI Would like to "ask-.‘you how to
raise sheep and on what kind of
ground? ' The ground I have in
mind is very poor gtéund and all it
has on it ismarsh grass. and in early
spring “it is quite Wet. Do sheep
cost much to feed? Please tell me
all about them and how to sheer
and market them.—~—-Mrs. M. Paw
Paw, Michigan.

IT is impulsible to tell you all
about the raising of sheep in
any newspa er a r t 1 cl 9. - I

wOuld advise t at you write the ~-

United States Department of Agri-
culture for the following Bulletins:
FaMErs' Bulletin No. 1330, Farm-
ers' Bulletin No. 576; Farmers’ Bul-
letin No. '713, Farmers’ Bulletin No.

.1134, Farmers’ Bulletin No. 840 and

Farmers' Bulletin No. 798, which
will give full information on the
care and handling of sheep.

The kind of ground does not make
any material difference although
sheep do best on well drained soil or
what might be termed upland
ground. Sheep do not do well on
low marshy wet pasture and I would
not advise you to engage in the

sheep business if your pasture is

covered entirely with marsh grass.
If it can be drained suﬂiciently to
allow J une grass to come in the
sheep would no doubt do all right
on this ground.

The cost of maintaining a breed-
ing ewe varies a great deal. Where
one is running a general farm and
can feed them quite largely upon
cheap roughages such as, silage,
bean pods or corn stalks with a min-
imum allowance of good clover or
alfalfa hay they may be wintered
very cheaply. 0n the other hand, if
one is compelled to buy hay on the
market as the sole source of feedthe
cost will be considerable. It“ requires
four to ﬁve pounds of good hay per
day for a sheep, whereas if other
roughages are available such as
those mentioned above, only one and
one-half to two pounds of hay need
be fed. It is not necessary to feed
large amounts of grain. We usual-
ly. plan on starting grain feeding
about thirty days before the ewes
are due to lamb, feeding each ewe
about one—half pound per head per
day. This amount is increased to
around one pound per head daily
after lambing and continued until
the ewes go out on pasture.

Shearing is usually done in April
and May. Practically all shearing
is done by professional shearers who
go about the country shearing dur-
ing those two months.

The best method of marketing
wool is through the cooperative wool
pool as now managed by the Farm
Bureau. The lambs can" be best
marketed through a local coopera-
tive shipping organization—Geo. A.
Brown, Professor of Animal Hus-
bandry, M. S. C.

SUGGIETS RATION

I am feeding one part wheat bran,
two parts ground oats, 3%, cotton
seed meal twice a day. Wild pasture,
and get 9 pounds of milk from each
cow per milking. I am now feeding
as roughage sweet corn stalks and
bean straw. Have no silage or hay.
They are not coming up on milk.
One cow when she came in was giv-
ing 30 pounds of milk and has drop-
ped to 9 pounds. Last summer she
gave 25 pounds all summer without

grain. What grain would you ad-

vise with the roughage I mention ‘3—
L. M. F., Cass City, Mich.

OUR roughage is of a very poor
sort to make milk; it really re-
quires some legume such as

clover or alfalfa to make a ration
satisfactory for producing milk. It
would seem that it would be proﬁt-
able for you to get either of those for
your cows if possible.

Why not add some“ corn to your
ration; it would be preferable to
barley; would suggest that it be
ground; a good ration would be as
folloWs, corn and cob meal 300 lbs.,‘

ground oats 200 lbs., wheat bran,~

100 pounds, and cottonseed meal 100

lbs, then give each cow not less ‘

VALUE OF WW8 TO
NATION

“ ETERINABIANS function as a
factor of economy and safety to
the nation in three distinct,

though somewhat overlapping, di-

rections”, says Dr. V. A. Moore, dean

of the New York State Veterinary

College at Ithaca.

“Safeguarding public health is the
ﬁrst important ﬁeld of the veterin-
arian”, say Dr. More. “This work
is accomplished by means of sani-
tary regulations and dairy and meat
inspection. Though their service is
usually measured in dollars—the
money value of the animals saved——
the service to the public is far more
valuable.

“Their second ﬁeld is that of rend-
ering a palliative and advisory serv-
ice in the treatment of sick and in-
jured animals and instructing their
owners. Three-fourths of the work
of the ordinary practitioner is that
of treating the common diseases and
injuries. These irregularities, if not
properly cared for, would result in
many deaths and an enormous eco-
nomic loss.

"Protecting the animals of the
country from infections, epizootic,
and parasitic diseases is the third
function of the veterinarian,” Dr.
Moore says. “Animal husbandry is
the greatest industry in our agricult-
ure and the saving every year by
protecting our animals against epi-
demics, particularly of foreign orig-
in, is inestimable.”

 

RATION FOR DAJRY BULL
. DAIRY bull in full service should

receive about the same ration as
the cow in milk. His ration

should contain an ample amount of ,

protein. When idle or in partial
service, less concentrate will be
needed. - ‘

This Service takes dairy feed
formulas devised and ap-
proved by the feeding ex-

perts of thirteen colleges of '

agriculture. It buys the in.
gredients for these feeds on
a world market in tremen—
dous quantities. It mixes
these ingredients in a great,
efﬁcient, modern mill which
runs to capacity. As a result,
“Amco Mixed” feeds com-
~ bine the two qualities every
dairyman is looking for: the
highest feeding value at the
most economical price.

SMALL GRAIN: TO HOLD
OR HAUL ‘

HAT will the wheatmarket do

this fall? Should I haul my
small grain to the elevator

from the thresher or “combine,” or
put it in my bins to await a rising
market? Now is the time when
those questions are beginning to bob
up before the farmer to be debated
by farm editors, farm bureau oﬁicers
and groups of farmers everywhere.

 

. ‘i . -.  ~02" tile-great
 eat ‘ ei's‘m‘,
grain ._ ,‘ifritdry‘jis, to [hauls-Tram .ma-
chiné‘tb elevator. This is especially

truein recent years and with-inew;

farmers getting started . who have

neither facilities for ' storage Vnor-

creditto permit them to hold off“ the

market until the great bulk of the '

marketing of the Wheat crop has
taken place and the prices begin to
rise. Ohio University specialists
have ﬁgured that the farmers who
marketed over a period of several
months ‘did better, some wheat be-
ing marketed immediately after har-
vest, and the bulk of it spread over
winter and spring months when
there was plenty of time for haul-
ing available.

 

No man is ever so busy that he doesn’t
have many leisure hours to devote to the
thing which most interests him.

GET PULLETS’ WEIGHT UP TO
AVOID SPARROW EGGS

EE-WEE eggs are a source of an—

P noyance to all poultrymen and
an excessivenumber may cause
some actual ﬁnancial loss.

Although pee-wee eggs cannot be
avoided entirely, according to poultry
specialists, their number may be con-
siderably reduced by attempting to
have the pullets of good size before
they start to produce.

The proper weight for a pullet to
begin production cannot be deﬁnitely
ﬁxed, because it is bound to vary
both with the strain and the breed
of birds. With the White Leghorns,
however, it is a good plan to have
the pullets weigh at least 3 pounds
if the strain tends to run light in
body weight when mature, and 3%
or 4 pounds if the heavier type of
Leghorn is being bred.

In most instances the best develop-
ment will be obtained by allowing
the growing stock to have free ac-
cess to their growing mash until pro-
duction has reached 20 per cent,

N the Poultry Department of our
August 28th issue we published
a letter and picture from one of
our subscribers, Ernest Belville, of
Mesick, who had a ﬂock of hens av-
eraging 85 hens for seven months
and they laid 10,054 eggs during
that time. We asked any of our
subscribers who could approach that
record to write us and we have heard
from readers located in three differ—
ent parts of the state.

John Parma, of Greenville, Mont-
calm county, writes that last fall.
they had about 100 old hens and
pullets mixed. Some rocks, some
Reds, and some Orpingtons—no pure
breds, just a common farm ﬂock. In
November ,1925, they had 26 dozen.
eggs, and in December 107 dozen or
1,284 eggs. During the ﬁrst six
months of 1926 they laid 10,412, In,
August of this year they laid 119
dozen or 1,428 eggs.

“I have just read the letter which
you printed about Ernest Belvilie’s
ﬂock of hens, and am sending in our
record," writes 'Freeman Dungey, of

they make ideal foster mothers
for chickens on the farm, according
I to Mrs. Garnet B. Thacher, poultry-
woman of Brooklyn, Mich., who has
been very successful in rearing
chickens under big capons.

A ﬂock of_ chickens is perfectly
safe so long as it has the protection
of a “motherly” capon, Mrs. Thach-
er reports. She tells oi’ a battle
between a capon and weasel on her
farm. The weasel was getting the
'worst of the ﬁght when Mrs. Thach-
er’s son came to the recue. The
capon was viciously striking the
weasel as it attacked the chickens.
Another capon is reported to have
chased a. rootser from the chicken
yard and to have pursued a hawk
as it soared over the yard.

 

FEATHER EATING

Could you please give me a. rem-
edy for feather eating? [ have a
ﬂock of chickens, mixel, some it
which are almost bare from their
mates pulling out their feathers-~—
A Subscriber, Grosse Ile, Michigan.

HERE is no deﬁnite prevention
for feather eating but, when it
is due to a faulty feeding which

it often is, the use of meat scraps,
bow-meal and milk in the feed will
sometimes stop it. Turn the chick-
ens out of doors at once and let
tuem range during the daylight
hours—Dr. Geo. H. Conn.

 

NOT COMPLETE FEED
I had a lot of baby chicks a. week
old and their eyes were glued shut.
They did seem to be very sore, I had
to open them before they could see

to eat. The corners of their mouth
got sore. I fed chick feed and dry
mash. The chicks did not act sick

and their eyes were not swollen.
Would be glad for any advice that
you can give me.———-J. W. M., Tawas
City, Michigan.

EXT time you have this trouble
N add 2 or 3 pounds of cod liver

oil and 5 lbs. of bonemeal to
each 100 lbs. of mash; give them
sour milk to drink. Keep them in
the sunlight as much as possible and
let them have green feed to eat.
They were not getting a complete
teed—Dr. G. H. Conn.

Some More High Producing Hens

of this year. The ﬁrst of November
we received 44 eggs, and they kept
gaining after that, so I will give you
their record: November, 246 dozen
sold for $135.30; December, 4115’;
dozens sold for $197.23; January,
344 dozens sold for $113.02; Febru-
ary, 246 dozens sold for $78.00;
March, 410 dozens sold for $94.82;

April, 396% dozens sold for
$100.04; May, 358 dozens sold for
$96.45. This ﬂock was never culled.

Seven months would be 212 days in—
stead of 222 as E. B. Stated, 2,413
dozens would be 28,956 eggs, that is
136 a day. 28,956 would make their
average 123 eggs a hen or 58 per
cent. On December 18th they laid
180 eggs.’_’ ‘

N the. morning of May”, after

a heavy killing frest the night
' before, I"was about half afraid
to visit Erhardt Bros. (the owners

"of about the prettiest twenty acres

of market g rden I have ever seen)
for fear m reception would be as
cool as the morning had been. In
spite of the fact that the frost had
“cooked” 6000 tomato plants and
half an acre of beans, besides doing
other damage, I found three of the
brothers in the spinach section of
their garden talking and joking
with one another as though the
night before had been one of the
ﬁnest nights for vegetables we have
had this spring.

“But why worry’ﬁremarked one
of the brothers, “all our competitors
in the Pittsburgh district are in the
same 11! and if our truck is late
theirs will be, too.”

Always Looked Just Right

For eighteen years I have passed
Erhardt's place near Wilkinsburg
in Pennsylvania two or three
times a year, ﬁrst as a wife hunter
and after I had captured the wife,
and always it looked the same. Al-
ways free of weeds, every row as
straight as if it had been laid out
by a surveyor, and every crop with
a thrifty look. Around the house is
a large yard that looks as though it
belonged to some well-to-do retired
man who had nothing to do but
tend it.

Thirty years ago Mr. and Mrs.
Erhardt moved to this steep seven-
ty-eight acre farm, with their four
boys and two girls to take up mar-
ket gardening. Since Mr. Erhardt
died a few years ago, the farm has
been carried on by the children and
their mother. Mother Erhardt, in
spite of the fact that she is past
seventy, was helping to prepare rad-
ishes for market the morning I vis-

 

r4,

I want to thank you for yaur kind—
ness and prompt service you have
rendered me. I wrote you about my
ﬂock of chickens dying and your
veterinary editor, Dr. Conn, sent me
a prescription which I had ﬁlled and
fed it in a mash to my hens and
saved nearly the balance of my
ﬂock. Thank Dr.‘ Conn also. We
have taken your valuable magazine
for ﬁfteen years and all enjoy it.
Thanking you again, I am.—Mrs.
John Goodfellow, Genesee County.

 

 

ited them. “Not because I have to,
but because I like to," she told me.

During this time they have wit-
nessed a good many changes. They
have always hauled as much manure
as they could get from the city. At
ﬁrst they were paid for hauling it
away. Then as the ﬁrst autos came
they got it free for hauling. Now
they have paid as high as ﬁve dol-
lars a load for it when they can get
it. At ﬁrst they had a rough dirt
road for about three miles until they
hit the city limits of Wilkiusburg.
Two loads a day to market would
make a long day. Now one of the
finest roads in Allegheny County
passes their house and a truck to
haul the produce has 'speeded up
that part of the work.

Regardless of these changes the
Erhardts have always stuck to one
policy, viz., that of "honest" veget-
ables. All their produce is whole-
saled to grocers and produce retail-
ers.
duce knows that the stuff in the bot-
tom of a basket or crate is just as
good as it is on top. This policy
has built up such a reputation for
them that they are still selling to
some of. the dealers they sold to
thirty years ago. I will venture to
say that this quality has helpnd
these same dealers in turn to keep
certain housewives for customers
these thirty years. Demand for
their produce is so great they do
not have a phone in their house,
but instead often have to ﬁgure
how much they can let each man
have instead of having a surplus to
wonder what to do with.

Thirty years' experience has
shown them that they h vs to make
a study of their farm or the vari-
ous crops. For instance, one of the
boys pointed down the hill to a plot
and said: “We might as well not
plant anything there as to try as~

paragus on it’ and expect to get any

returns. . while on other parts’jef the

show you the same thing in regard



to our other crops." '

Since manure can be secured in.

such minor quantities, they are us-
ing commercial fertilizer. This
year they use a 4-8-4 mixture on
most of their crops. On asparagus
they use nitrate of soda. They haul-
ed so much manure in the earlier
years on the farm that they have
not yet had to resort to cover crops
to keep up the humus content of
the soil.
Intensiﬂed Methods

With the city limits coming closer
to their farm each year, naturally
the land and taxes are getting high]
er so it behooves them to intensify
their methods as much as possible
for the greatest returns. One com-
bination is two rows of onions with
lettuce between. Another one is
early potatoes; after the last hilling
pickles are plants din every other
row. The potatoes shade the pickles
until they get a good start. This
means the potatoes have to be dug
with shock, but the digging is as
good as a cultivation for the pickles.
All crops are gotten in early so that
most of the farm, except that part
in perennial crops, like asparagus
and rhubarb, grows two and some-
times three crops in one year.

I knew they had city water in
their house so asked: “Have you
ever tried the overhead watering
system for forcing lettuce and kin-
dred crops?" “One of the brothers
laughed and said: “The pressure is
so low and the supply so poor that
it took me half an hour to get
enough for a bath last night."

I noticed a few hives of bees and
asked about them. “We keep them
partly as a hobby and partly to be
sure that ﬂowering crops, like cu-
cumbers, are cross-pollinated.”

As I left this ﬁne place I thought
to myself what a ﬁne chance there
would be for someone to set up a
roadside vegetable stand near here,
buying these people's vegetables and
selling. them, for the view of the
farm as one passes it on Frankstown
Road would be the best kind of an
advertisement for them.

THE LAY OF THE HEN
(Apologies to Walt Mason)

HE barnyard hen's a good old
bird. She supplements the dairy
herd, and makes the farmers’

wife more mon’ than hubby makes
from sun to sun. Where'er this
queen of birds is found, delights of
rural life abound and farmer folk in
touring car, bring chicks and eggs
from near and far. In Michigan
Miss Biddy thrives; she works each
day till dusk arrives. She disre—
gards all labor law, and pecks away
to fill her craw; she lays an egg
in tufted nest, then cackling ﬂies to
work with zest. She thus a good ex-
ample sets to folk who labor with re-
grets. Her eggs and chicks are sold
for pelf to buy some chow for pantry
shelf. No better food has e’er been
tried than eggs on toast or chicken
fried. "Tis said a chicken dressed
just right, imbues e’en preachers
with delight. So here's to Biddy,
barnyard hen, the greatest bird God
gave to men.—-—T. M. Jeffords.

Tests have been conducted by Government stations in '
past years,with healthy, full-toothed animals, to determine i
the seriousness of these feeding losses. The tests show
an average loss of from 12 to 26 per cent. In other words,
out of every 100 bushels of whole corn fed, 26 bushels l
yield practically no nourishment while passing through 
the digestive tract. The unground oat diet showed a
similar loss of 12 bushels out of every 100.

Such feeding losses can easily spell the difference be‘ 3
tween possible loss and a handsome proﬁt. Many farmers »;
are putting various combinations of grains through the E
McCormick-Deering Feed Grinder, assuring their animals
a nourishing ration that is quickly and completely assimi-
lated. In the interests of greater stock-raising proﬁts, in-
vestigate the McCormick-Deering at the local dealer’s store.

Reports Indicate Plenty? of Wheat 0

Cattle Market Ac e-Light Hogs Bring Best Prices -

, By w. ‘ . room, Market Editor.

LL past records of manufactur-
ing and general business activity
have been exceeded in recent

weeks, and the railroads have been

carrying more freight than ever be.-
fore, including grains and other farm
products. The internal trade of the
country has surpassed the most san-
guine expectations, prosperity being
wide-spread, and labor is well em-
ployed at the highest wages ever
paid, the natural result being. in-
creased buying of all sorts of mer-

.L

‘ chandise at a high level of prices.

An enormous amount of building is
going on in the cities of the United
States, and within a short time the
steel mills have exceeded all produc-
tions in times of peace. It may be'
added that there is no boom in trade,
although the easy money market has
greatly stimulated speculation in
stocks and bonds. The banks of the
country are generally in sound con-
dition and are making loans at
rather low rates of interest, this be—
ing true of the federal loan banks
engaged in negotiating loans on
farms. The foreign commerce of
the county is on a less satisfactory
basis, and of late'the balance of
trade has been against us. The
grain markets are unsettled, as is
usual at this season of the year,
while the live stock markets have
played some wild pranks, including
a remarkable advance in prime beef
cattle. 0n the other hand, prices
for hogs have been smashed, and
some reductions were made in lamb
prices owing to large receipts. In—
diana farmers are afraid of early
frosts and preparing to feed soft
corn in nearly all parts of the state,
rains continuing to ﬂood the fields
and keep the corn green. In some
low areas the corn is reported to be
ruined.
The Wheat Market

Late reports made by the Depart—
ment of Agriculture go to show that
there will be plenty of wheat for
home consumption and export. It
appears that the total wheat supply
of the United States and Canada this
crop year is expected to aggregate
1,234,000,000 bushels. including the
carry-over of the two countries,
which compared with 1, 184,000,000
bushels for last year, with an export-
able surplus of about 500,000,000
bushels. Conditions are a little bull—
ish on the whole, with good exports
in recent weeks, and prices are high-
er than two years ago, but still away

~lower than at this time in 1925.

Winter wheat has been sent to mar-

v ket freely most of the time, but the
’ movement of spring wheat has been
,cut down by the rainy weather on
, both Iides of the international bound-

line. our exports

817 Meanwhile

. have much exceeded those of a year

ago. Our visible wheat supply made
a gain in a single week of 3,422,000
bushels, reaching a total of 67,-512,-
000 bushels, and comparing with 37.-
728,000 bushels a year ago. A short

1 time ago the agricultural department

said that with average yields the
United States will remain on a world

2 market basis in 1927 if farmers carry

out their indicated intention of in-
creasing the acreage of winter wheat
by 14 per cent. It added that there
was little indication of any material
expansion of acreage outside of the
United States. Late sales Were made
of wheat for September delivery at
$1.37, comparing with $1.52 a year
ago.
(‘orn Crop Talk

Rains and warm weather helped
growth in August, and good progress
days
in early September hindered growth.
The season is two to three Weeks
later than usual, and much damage
' he

the crop at 2,698,000,000 bushels,
showing a decrease of 207,000,000
bushels from the big crop of 1925
and a less of 151,000,000 bushels
from the ﬁve year average. How-

ever, unusually large stocks of‘old
corn will remain in farming districts
to be carried over to the new crops.
Should there be much unmerchant-
able corn this year stock feeding
would be stimulated. Prices of can
remain much lower than in recent
years, and a little more than two
yearsago corn for September deliv-
ery sold for $1.23. The visible sup-
ply in this country is up to 18,256,-
000 bushels, comparing with 6,390,—
000 bushels a year ago. The barley
crop is reported as 23,000,000 bush-
els less than last year, and the oats
crop is the smallest in years. - Rainy
weather has greatly injured oats in
shock, and there was a large ad~
vance in N0. 2 white oats. Late sales
were made of September cats at 40
cents, comparing with 39 cents a

   

down to 88.35 to $9.40 for the poorer
light Weights, and no good steers
going bolowr $10.25. Butcher cows
and heifers sold at $4.50 to $11.50,
while canners and cutters brought
$3.50 to $4.45. The week's receipts
were thevlargest by far in a long per-
iod, and it was wonderful that prices
held up so well. One year ago beef
steers sold at $6.75 to $16.36; two
years ago at $6.20 to $11.40 and
fourteen years ago at $4.65 to $8.35.
A good business was transacted in
stockers and feeders at $6.50 to
$9.15, mainly at $7.25 to $8.25,
while stocker and feeder cows and
heifers sold well at $4 to $6.60.

Light and Heavy Hogs

For many months stoclrmen have
been holding their hogs much longer
than in former years because feeding
was abundant‘and cheap, while hogs
Were in much smaller supply in feed-
ing districts than in recent years tnd

The Boom in Cattle

Farmers engaged in feeding cattle
for the market have been completely
surprised by the remarkable boom
which has taken place in recent
weeks, presenting a sharp contrast
to the depression of a few weeks
earlier. Long fed steers have shared
in the upward movement, and the
glut of heavy steers has subsided
recently. Much of the time lately
lessened numbers of steers were mar—
keted, and the increase in cattle re—
ceipts was made up of grass cows,
heifers and western steers. The
marked change in the market for
beef cattle has been the cause of a
good increase in the country demand
for stockers and feeders, and they
have shown substantial advances in
prices. Prime yearling steers sold
up to $12, the highest prices paid
since January, and the best heavy
steers brought $11.75, a new high

however, there has been a decrease
in the average weight of, the hogs
offered on the Chicago stock yards,
and light hogs soldat lower prices,

while lots averaging 225 pounds and ‘

over sold sharply higher, reversing
the previous practice when light hogs
brought a good premium. The
spread in price has been enormous,
and not long ago in a single day a
packer bought 1060 head of 200-
pound hogs at an average cost of
$14.10 and a drove of 650 hogs at
that averaged 325 pound hogs at
$10.50. On that day the extreme
range of prices was over $5. It is
interesting to learn that W. E. Car—
roll of the UniVersity of Illinois has
discovered that during 45 to . 60
months in the last ﬁve years light
hogs sold at higher prices than heavy
hogs. For the year to late date the
marketing of hogs in seven western
packing points aggregated 16,028,-
000 head, comparing with 18,471,000
a year ago and 22,279,000 two years
ago. The spread in prices has nar-
rowed greatly, recent receipts aver-

Washington, D. (3., Sept 16.-—Most .

farm products have Jean at least
holding their own in the ,market
lately. The middle of September
found grain, hay, feeds, potatoes,
dairy and poultry products selling
as high, some a little higher than
for the week or two weeks preceding.
Livestock was inclined to advance.
is buying farm produce actively and
the situation might be worse.

Wheat - ’

Winter wheat tended higher the
middle of the month although spring
wheat seemed inclined to go down.
Good demand for export helped the
situation, but on the other hand the
heavy Canadian production now esti-
mated only 3 per cent below last
season's crop is beginning to over-

‘ hang the general market although its

movement has been delayed by wet
weather.\ With Europe 9 per cent
under last year’s crop and Germany
especially short the demand should
be active encugh to take care of a
fairly good World production.
Corn

Corn promises fairly well although
151 million bushels under the nve—'
year average, but the lateness of the
season threatens frost ramage during
the next two weeks. Holders of corn
seem conﬁdent and prices advance
easily, rising sharply at St. Louis
under moderate demand. Oats and
barley have shared a little of the
occasional strength of the grain mar-
ket, helped by some decrease in the
estimated crop. Other grains and
ﬂax held ﬁrm.

Butter

The butter situation is good. -It
is not improving much lately be-
cause the freshened fall pastures
have kept the butter output from
decreasing as fast as it did last Sep-
tember. Considerable stock is com-
ing out of storage. Prices haveJJeld
about the same since the slight rise
Cheese is in
much the same position as butter.
Production is decreasing slowly and
there is no great change in price.

Essa

Egg prices hays been creeping up-
ward slowly throughout the past
seven weeks. Hens are laying less
vigorously, demand is good and there
is not so much trouble from heat
damage. Storage eggs are coming
out and the whole situation looks
better. Poultry holds its price fairly
well and considerable dressed stock
is going into storage.

Potatoes

Potato shipments (have been in-
creasing in September and equaled
the great activity of a year ago, stim-
ulated by a fairly high level of prices.
September crop reports show gains of
abOut 6 million bushels in the esti-.
mated production which is still, how-
ever, far below average. "

 

BEANS

Before our last issue reached you
the price of beans at Detroit had de—
clined to $4.00 per hundredweight,
and it remainedat this figure for
caused buyers to become uneasy be-
cause it was delaying harvest and
they advanced the price some. A
