pay for service during the first

from $5.00 to» $10.00 per day.

Hidden away in this amendment

qua-ﬂouliko the election lama-1m-
inal procedure or tax reform .and
then recommend the repeal of a‘ long
list of the present statutes on this
subject. and the enactment-of one
concise, codiﬁed law to take their
place. .

There are two proposed' amendr
ments to ARTICLE VIII. The ﬁrst
of these is to Section 6 and would re-
move ,the present restriction which
renders a'person ineligible for the
ofﬁce ofsheriff for marathon four

. years out -of any six year period.

This might prove desirable in some
instance, but would not be without
its attendant dangers. Long tenure
of odlce may result in experience and
oﬂciency or in the building up of a
machine andthe harboring of graft
and inefﬁciency. ‘

Propose “W V "

The second amendment to ART-
ICLE V1! is to Section :1.
permit «legislature to opact a gen-
eral law providing for incorporation
by any ,two' or more cities, villages
or townships of metropolitan dis-
tricts for the purpose of acquiring
parks or public utilities. This amen-(1—
ment is designed to take care of
complicated situations which have
arisen mostly in Wayne County be-
cause ‘of the tremendous urban and
suburban development. The amend-
ment seems to be carefully worded to
safe-guard the interest of all con-
cerned and it seems to your corres-
pondent that it might properly be
adopted. "

The fourth proposed amendment
relates to ARTICLE XIII, Section 5
and what is known as the. “Excess
Condemnation" proposal. . It would
permit Legislature to authorize mu-
nicipalities to condemn and take .the
title to more land and property than
is needed in the acquiring, opening
and widening of boulevards, streets
and alleys and for any other public
use. After the improvement had
been constructed the municipality
could sell or lease the remainder.
Such a provision would permit mu-
nicipalities to obtain land for needed
improvements and at the same time
proﬁt from the increasing value of
these properties. Revenue thus de-
rived would naturally mean that the
tox—payers would be relived of just
so much of the burden of the cost of
government. ,

Shall We Have a “Con-Con"?

In addition to the four speciﬁc
amendments explained above, there
will also appear on the November
ballot the question of a general re-
vision of the constitution. If this
should be approved, a constitutional
convention would be held beginning
on the ﬁrst Tuesdayof September,
1927. If such a constitutional con-
vention were held, two things are
,certain—ilrst, it would cost the tax-
payers a good many thousands of
dollars and second, all sorts of
groups and forces would be at
work trying to get various changes
in Michigan's fundamental law.
There is a strong probability that if
many of these changes were embod—
ied in the new constitution, it would
not be ratiﬁed when submitted to
the people, because there, would be
some feature of it that would prove
distasteful to nearly every voter.

In view of these and other angles
of the situation, there seems to be a
growing sentiment to the effect that
it would be unwise to hold a'con-
stitutiOnal convention and that any
reforms that may be desirable might
better be~ secured through individ-
ual amendments, such as the four
proposals outlined earlier in this
article. Our present constitution
was adopted in 1908 and is regarded
as being quite generally adapted to
present conditions. .

VII-Competition Strong'ln Farmers’ Judging Contest But Most Awards Remain In This State

.1119 greatest event of the year in
this country as far as dairymen
uyare vooncerned is the National
Dairy Exposition and Michigan was
very fortunate this year to have it
held -within its borders, during the
week of October—6 to 13. To cele-
brate Michigan dairymen kept sev-
eral of the prizes from going out of
Perhaps many ﬁrsts did
no go to Michigan breeders but when
it is considered that this show was
declared the best ever held and the
entries in most classes the greatest

'in number and ﬁnest in quality of

any displayed before it was a great
henor to have an entry placedamong
the » first ten animals. Many state
fair champions from different states
did not even ﬁgure in on the win-
nings at’ this year’s show, the con-
test, Was so strong. .

The opening day was given over,
mostly, to getting acquainted with
what was at the show and preparing
for the judging of the various breeds
which began Thursday, October 7th,

with the Holsteins. W. S. Moscrip,
of North Star Farm, Lake Elmo,
Minn, judged the “Black and

White" entries.

Wisconsin defended her claim to
the title of leading dairy state in
the Union by winning a large num-
ber of the prizes in the Holstein
classes but several Michigan breed-
.ers got in on the winnings. Among
these were: Lakeﬁeld Farms, Clark-
eton; J. F. Berkheimer, Homer; A.
H. Buhl. Oxford; Kalamazoo Hos-
pital, Kalamazoo; E. M. Bayne, Ro-
meoyJames B. Jones, Detroit; Ben-
jamin Spencer, Quinnesec; Larrowe
Milling Co., Detroit; Michigan Re—
formatory, Ionia; Detroit Creamery
Farms, Mt. Clemens, Mt. Clemens;
and J. G. Hayes, East Lansing.

Michigan breeders carried off all
of the honors in the farmers’ judg-
ing contest on Holsteins, competing
in a ﬁeld of 73 individuals from Kan-
sas, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Michigan. In the individual
class the gold medal went to S. C.
Baldwin of Bennington, the silver
one to Arthur S. Reel: of lmlay City,
and the bronze to Raymond B. Laser
of Mason. The Clinton-Shiawassee
C. T. A. team, made up of Burr A.
Toten of Elsie, Jay F. Bowlby of
Ovid and R. C. Woodward of Elsie,
won the gold medal in the team class
with 254 points. _C. S. Baldwin of
Bennington, H. A. Knapp and Fred
E. Martin of» Owosso, the Shia-
wassee county team‘ got 228 points
and won the silver medal. The

bronze went to the Macomb county

No. 1 C. T. A., E. A. Hardy of R0-
chester, Albert Luchtman, of Wash-
ington and Jack Harvey of Utica be-
ing the members, and they had 221
points.

Jersey Day

Friday was Jersey day in the judg-
ing’ring and C. H. 'Steeples, Louisi-
ana A. & M. College picked the win-
ners. Among the winning breeders
could be found Bfénnan, Fitzgerald
-& Sinks of 'Farmington, Alton Hoop-
ingarner of Hillsdale, and the Oak-
lands of Ann 'Arbor. .

In the judging of Jerseys Ohio and
Michigan farmers competed and only
one “Buckeye” placed. This was E.
N. Lamb, of Bowling Green, who won
the silver medal in the individual
class. The gold medal went to H.

60 individuals and seven teams.
Students’ Judging Contest

The names of the winners in the
inter-collegiate judging were given
out at the banquet of the American
Dairy Science Ass’n Friday evening
and the members of the Michigan
team were proud to learn that in
judging Holsteins they had placed
ﬁrst in both team and individual
work. The Michigan team was made
up of H. J. Foster, G. T. Witburn
and Theo. W. Knopf, with Geo. Tay-
lor coaching, and they won the Ho]-
stein-Friesian cup. In the individual
work H. J. Foster won a $400 schol-
arship from the Holstein-Friesion
Ass’n as ﬁrst prize. He was trailed
by his teammate, Theo. W. Knopf.
Third place went to Texas. Michi»
gan did not place in the judging of
other breeds.

Sweepstakes went to South Da-
kota, with Ontario second and Ore-
gon third. Teams from 27 states
competed.

In the judging of dairy products
Michigan's Lnum won eighth place,
being sixth in milk, sixth in cheese,
eighth in butter and ninth in ice
cream, in a ﬁeld of 13 teams. Iowa
womsweepstakes in this class for the
second time .n three years and the
trophy, donated by the National
Dairy Ass'n, became theirs perman-
ently.

Country Children’s Day

The features of Saturday’s pro-
gram were the judging by the Boys
and Girls Club members and the vo-
cational school students. Saturday
was known as Country Children’s
Day and. all rural children accomp-
panied by their parents were ad-
mitted free.

At a banquet given the vocational
school students by the Michigan
State Farm Bureau at the Detroit
Y. M. C. A. Saturday night it was
announced that the California team
had won ﬁrst place, New Jersey sec-
ond, Maryland third, Georgia fourth
and Illinois ﬁfth. High individual

in judging all breeds was John Glea?

son from Minnesota, and his reward
was a $400 scholarship offered by
the DeLaval Separator Co. Michigan
did not place.

The coaches of the teams from
twenty different states, representa-
tives of the leading dairy breeds as-
sociations and vocational school
teachers from ,. this state were also
guests at the banquet, making
around 175 present and C. F. Mc—
Intosh, a member of the federal
board for vocational education, was
the principal speaker.

The American Dairy Federation
also had its banquet that night and
the winners were taken from the Y.
M. C. A. to the Book-Cadillac hotel
so that those attending the dairy
federation banquet might see them.

Sunday the Show remained open

and a band concert was put on in the

Coliseum. » /

Cattle judging was resumed on
Monday with Ayrshires and Brown
Swiss taking the spot-light. H. H.
Kildee, of Iowa State College, judged
the Ayrshires, while George Hum-
phrey, of Wisconsin 'State College
of Agriculture, judged the Brown
Swiss g' " , ~
Competition was unusually keen in
Ayrshiresz’, With animals 9th by

including the senior and grand
champion cow and bull. Other Mich-
igan breeders who ﬁgured in on the
winnings were Brown Rochester
Farm 00., of Rochester and Booth
Stock Farm of Northville.

Due to the small number of Ayr-
shire breeders present the farmers’
judging contest in this breed schedn
uled for Monday was called off.

In the Brown Swiss division Mich-
igan was represented by L. S. Mar-
shall & Sons of Leslie, Amos Curtis
of Manchester and Ernest Jackson
of Parma. The Marshalls had win-
ners in the majority of the different
classes. Michigan also won ﬁrst in
state herd of eight animals entered
by a state breeders’ associaton.

Milo H. Peterson of Ionia. was
awarded the gold medal as the best
judge of Brown Swiss cattle. Er-
win H. Krauss of Sebewaing captured
the silver medal and R. A. Kyser
of Lowell the bronze one.

Judging Guernseys

Guernseys held the center of the
stage on Tuesday and the ﬁnest of
the blood, costing all the way up to
$35,000 for one animal, was there.
H. H. Kildee of Iowa State College
was the judge and no one envied him
his job becuase of the close competi-
tion. There were more millionaires
with entries in this class than any
of the other breeds we dare say.
Among them were: J. C. Penny, of
the J. C. Penny department stores;
Mr. and~ Mrs. Chauncey McCormick,
Napenville, 111.; William H. Wil-
liams, Lyon Mountain, N. Y.; W. A.
Fisher, Rochester; D. D. Tenney,
Crystal Bay, Minn.: and H. S. Fire-
stone, tire manufacturer of Akron,
Ohio.

With ‘ 3 individuals and four
teams from Ohio, West Virginia and
Michigan competing in the Guernsey
judging farmers from this state car—
ried off all the prizes. In the indi-
vidual class H. G. Tyrell of Detroit
won ﬁrst, G. H. Hitchcox of Athens
second, and Ludell W. Cheney of
Mason third. First in the team class
went to the Lansing—Ingham C. T.
A., composed of Ludell E. Cheney of
Mason, Leslie A. and Moryl Wilcox
of Lansing. Second prize went to
the Farms-Jackson C. T. A. team,
made up of George Van Marter and
Jasper M. Godfrey of Palma, George
A. Willson and Clem Chalker of
Ovid.

Grade Cattle

Michigan had things her own way
in the grade cow classes as there
were no entries from other states,
except in the Ayrshires. H. H. Kil-
dee judged. In the Holsteins the
Larrowe Milling 00., Detroit, had
the champion cow and won ﬁrst on
cow with test association record of
250 pounds and ﬁrst cow with record
of 300 pounds. Other winners in the
two latter classes were: Louis Schoof
of Washington, George Drake of Kal-
amazoo, Kalamazoo State Hospital,
Max Abbott ‘of Alamo, Reuben Ha—
zen of Coloma, Frank Wilcox of R0-
meo, and Bert Collins o-f Eau Claire.

Macomb county cow testing asso-
ciation No. 1 was ﬁrst in the class for
ﬁve cows from a single testing asso-
ciation, trailed by Kalamazoo and
Berrien county associations.

The champion Guernsey grade cow
was entered by George Westgate of
Fremont. She was also ﬁrst in the
class for cows with 300 pound record.
Berrien county had the only entry
in the class for ﬁve grades from a
cow testing association, in the Guern-
am. '

V. D. Sanders, of South Haven

showed the cham’piongcow in the

 

Jerseys, and he also won three ﬁrsts,
a fourth and a ﬁfth. Allegan county *
was ﬁrst in the class for ﬁve cows
from a single association.

Brownie, owned by Ralph W.
Cripps, of Camden, Me., was the
champion Ayrshire grade. She holds
the world's record for milk produc—
tion among Ayrshire grade cows.

Boys and Girls Classes

In calf club contest Clarence Mer-
chant, of Cass City, won third place
in the Holsteins with his Michigan
State Fair champion. Second and
third places went to Michigan in the
state groups, with Watson Spuven,
Clarence Merchant, Yale Salisbury
and Kenneth Proctor getting second,
and Ellsworth Zimmerman, Charles
Monroe, Margaret Hough, Elmer
Twichell and Raymond Laser taking
third.

In the Guernsey class Michigan,
represented by Cyril Spike, got
fourth, and second place was ours
in the state group. Our team was
composed of. Cyril Spike, Carl Luder-
man, Lawrence Moore, Jack Stone
and Raymond Schaffer.

Third place went to Michigan in
the Jerseys, Warren Goss being our
representative. Fifth and sixth were
our places in the state group win-
nings. Warren Goss, Russell Part—
ridge, Mac Olds and Grant Ball won
ﬁfth, with Treavor Dyer, Willow
Newell, Sircy Simone, Laurel Bailey
and Willie Roost Winning sixth.

There were no state groups in the
Ayrshire class but “Heifer over two”
was won by Dorwood for Michigan.

Clarence Reynolds won second for
Michigan in Brown Swiss.

Other Features

Women attending the exposition
made the Woman’s building their

headquarters where Mrs. Edith M.
Wager, of Carleton, Mich., was in
charge. An interesting exhibit of

electrical appliances for use in the
farm home, made possible through
keeping good cows, got considerable
attention from the visitors.

The health Show, held in the
Dairy building, also was a popular
place with the women. Many exhibits
of interest to the women were made
in this building.

Exhibits of dairy machinery and
feeds occupied most of the ﬂoor
space in the new agricultural build~
ing but the main attraction was the

, display by the U. S. Department of

Agriculture. Separate booths, con-
sisting of many real and lifesized
models, were devoted to the follow-
ing subjects, one subject to each
booth: What is the normal growth of
heifers?: Rapid changes in conform-
ation taking place in growth and de—
velopment; Relation of outside meas-
urements of cow to certain inside
measurements: Stet-lining dairy uten-

.OMEONE made the statement
that'if you have something that
the public wants they will wear
a pathway to your doorstep to get

’ it, even though you may live in a
wilderness. He should have added
that after that it was mostly up to
you as to how much business you
would do. Some would be satisﬁed
to let the public continue to travel
the narrow pathway into the wilder—
ness, others would invest their ﬁrst
earnings in locating where the peop-
lecould ﬁnd them easily, where they

.would come oftener and buy more,
thus increasing proﬁts many times
over.

Food is something that We must
have to live. If necessary the public
.would go to the ends of the earth to
get it, but it is not necessary. There
are men who make their living by
bringing this food to the consumers
and they are paid well, as a rule, for

, their labor. -

The farmer produces inanv of the

different foods required by man and

. most of this food goes to the towns

and cities in wholesale lots where it

is displayed and the larger per cent
of the people make their purchases.

‘ As some of the food must go

through several processes in large

factories before it is ready to be

put on the market it would be im-

possible for the farmer to entice the

consumer to his doorstep for it in
its raw stage, and to bring it back

.to the farm to sell after it had been

manufactured would not be practic-

al. But there are many foods grown
on the farm that can be sold direct
to the consumer. These include veg—
etables, fruits, eggs, poultry, and
articles manufactured on the farm

. such as butter, canned fruits, jellies,

.preserves and refreshments.

Three very interesting pictures sent- in by F. C. Horn, of Auburn, a farmer who operates a roadside market.
The sign on the roof of his barn he considers a good investment.

the beginning of the roadside market
which today you ﬁnd on all of'the
main highways and many byways.

In the early days salesmanship at
a roadside stand or market was un-
usual, but here too there has been
a change. Many farmers are becom—
ing experienced salesmen, they study
the desires of their customers, and
try to please them with high quali-
ty produce and right prices. Stands
are becoming more numerous each
day and that means more competi-
tion for trade, with the one serving
the public best getting the largest
percentage of the business. Stands
are made attractive and the produce
displayed in a pleasing manner to
catch the eye of the passing motor-
ists.

This method of marketing has
spread so rapidly during the last two
or three years that this past sum-
mer a meeting was called, following
an investigation, to discuss standard-
izing the roadside market. It was
ﬁnally decided that this should be
done under the direction of the state.

This method of marketing is high-
ly pleasing to the farmer because it

products to a market many miles
away and taking a wholesale price,
and he retails at the roadside at a
price that shows him a reasonable
proﬁt.

Some have made a real success of
roadside marketing, they have got-
ten out of the "wilderness” with dif—
ferent ideas, while others have fail—
ed. This is of course true of any
business, and it may not always be
the lack of ambition or market that
causes the failures. Some folks have
natural instincts along certain lines
and they succeed in abusiness of
that nature. If your neighbor has
the instinct of a merchant born in
him and you haven’t he is better
equipped to operate a roadside mar-
ket. But if you try out his ideas
you will probably ﬁnd that your bus—
iness improves, and if you add the
ideas of other successful market op-
erators you may pass him in the
amount of business done, if he just
follows his own ideas.

operators'and we recently started a
contest to get their ideas to pass
along to the fellows who are not so
successful. So far we have received
several letters and we are publishing
one received from F. C. Horn, of
Pear Grove Fruit Farm, near Au-
burn, Bay county, to give you an
idea of what we want:

“I am sending you three pictures.
One is of the road sign that tells
the story at the time each product
is ready, another of our portable
roadside stand, and, the third of our
barn showing the sign on the roof
which is a splendid ad for our bus-

iness.
“Some of the things we sell are
berries, currants, apples, pears,

plums, grapes, cider, vinegar, pota-
toes, seed corn, eggs, chickens and
garden truck. While we are supply-
ing our customers at the roadside
market we are booking orders for
future delivery. It generally keeps
two of us busy to take care of our
Saturday trade. ,

“We also wholesale some of our
stuff at the storage house.”

More Details

The above gives you a fair idea of
what we want, but in addition to this
information we would appreciate
more details. Why, in your estima-
tion, have you made a success of
your market? What do You ﬁnd the
public wants most? .What did your
stand cost and how much does it
cost you to operate it? How much
are your total receipts for a year, al—
so your proﬁts? How many months
of the year do you keep your stand
open? Do you ﬁnd many of your
buyers become steady customers”
And any other details that may oc-
cur to you.

For the best letter received by
November lst we are oﬁering $5. 00,
for the second best $3. 00, the third
best $2.00, and $1.00 each for all
other letters onthis subject that we
publish in these columns. Of course
we would like pictures of all the
markets so if you have one send it
in with your letter and we will al-
low you 50 cents extra for it if we
can use it.

Remember the closing date on this
contest is November lst, so get your
letter in the mail by that date as we
cannot accept any entries postmark-

ideas for the beneﬁt of the other fel‘

a crosspbetween Red Rock and a

Because of its hard wheat parent-_
age, the berry is somewhat shorter
than the Red Rock. It is also hard-

ure, from the standpoint of the
grower, is the fact that Berkeley
Rock is essentially immune to the
wheat smut. When the loss caused
by stinking smut or bunt and loose
smut of wheat is considered, Berke-
ley Rock deserves a good deal of 'con-
sideration because of this feature. .

was being tested out at the Michigaii

ROTTING STUMPS

I have a lot of green stumps.
Would you please tell me what to
put on them to make them rot quick?
——B. B., Saginaw, Michigan.

8 far as we are aware there is no
practical method of making the
stumps rot quickly. Rotting is

brought about by the action of fungi
and bacteria, and we know of no
economical method of hastening such
action. Stumps can be destroyed by
the use of. strong acids or alkalies
which tear down the cellulose. This
method is exceedingly expensive.—

of Forestry, M. S. C.

will winter bees properly. -—R. D.

THE MAYTAG COMPANY,3

RE’S a reason for
the peculiar, yet pleas-
ing shape of the Maytag

cast-aluminum tub. It was
scientiﬁcally planned so that,
in combination with the gym-
tator it Would create a highly
turbulent water action in g ‘
every inch of the tub all the
time. There is never any ‘
lazy water» nor idle suds in
the Maytag Tub and that is
one reason that it washes
faster, cleaner and easier.

The Maytag is the only '
washer with a cast-aluminum
tub. The Maytag tub keeps
the water hot for an entire
washing, and it is all washing
space -— holds four gallons
more than other washers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This cast-aluminum tub
will not rust, rot, warp, split,
crack, swell, shrink nor cor-
rode. It cleans itself in thirty
seconds after the washing is
done.

As A Sta-dad}!
was so rainy nearly all of last
week, very little was'sccomplish-
ed with out door work, and, hav—

ing had so much rain since August .

let” it seemed quite reasonable to
expect this week would be more free
from rain, but
that was only a
pleasant antici-
pation , for the
week is h a l 1’
gene and it has
rained every day.
The ground is so
saturated w i t h
water, one is al-
most airaid to
take a team on
ﬁelds which are
apparently dry.
Our farm is
mostly h i g h
land, and, if any-
one can get on their land to work,
we can—and this has proven. quite
a blessing this fall. In fact, we were
able to run a corn binder on three
of our ﬁelds when most farmers
thought it impossible.

A friend from Lenawee county
was telling the writer about a farm-
er in his section who used four
horses on his corn binder, and had
four horses on his wagons for haul-
ing the corn to the silo. .Now this
man may succeed in getting his silo
ﬁlled, but he is doing a great deal
of damage to his ﬁeld, and the silo
ﬁlling may prove to be a very ex-
pensive operation. At this writing,
I believe I am safe in, saying there is
not one silo in ten in Hillsdale
county that has been ﬁlled. It would
seem there are half of them which
will not be ﬁlled this fall.

A heavy rain came yesterday aft-
ernoon, and continued until along
toward night, when the sun broke
through the clouds, and, in the east,
a most beautiful rainbow brightened

the heavy black clouds. The old
saying, “A rainbow at night, the
sailor’s delight," came to mind, and
I had really planned on a. pleasant
day today—but that was only a
pleasant thought to entertain during
the evening-21 look at the sky show-
ed all the stars brightly shining, and
what a lot of work was planned for
today! But today is here, and it is
raining, and has been, more or less,
throughout the night. It means we
shall surely have to give up sowing
one ﬁeld of wheat. This ﬁeld is not
on our home farm, and there is a
low stretch of ground running across
the center of it, containing perhaps
a fourth of the acreage. A. corn
ﬁeld joins this ﬁeld, and has the
same ground level. We were able
to cut the corn with the binder on
either side of this low ground, al»
though we had hard work to get the
binder across for work on the far
side. We did, however. and had the
corn nearly cut when a heavy down-
pour came and there the binder is,

seem
s

and we can not get it out! We were

through using it, after this ﬁeld was -

cut, but we would like to put it
under cover.

Corn was down quite badly in
many places this year, some ﬁelds
being about ﬂat. A corn hinder
would not work on these. but we

Wwere able to use the binder on all

our ﬁelds, and, while some places
were down considerably, it is eur-
prising how well the binder plcied
it up. We have never timed our-
selves in cutting corn with the bind-

. or until this fall, and on exactly six

and one hell sores it required just
14 hours of man labor and seven
hours of three-horse team work, to
put it in the shock. There are not
more than live bushels of ears
knocked on, and, as this ﬁeld stood
up well, there are practically no

. stalks but what are cut and bound.

The next ﬁeld contained ﬁve acres
and the corn was dewn in many
places. This was cut in about six
hours ,and six hours were required
to set it up. This ﬁeld shows more
corn uncut for it. was ﬂat in same
places, and, where corn leans away
from the binder, it cannot pick it
up. And how a. few uncut stalks do
show up a corn ﬁeld! In a wheat
ﬁeld, there are many, very many,
straws with beads of wheat that
escape the bundle and lie around
all over the ﬁeld, but no one ever
notices or mentions it. With corn it.
is different and yet, no doubt, the
wheat left on a ﬁeld is of just a great
value as the corn left on most binder
cut corn ﬁelds. Do not misunder-
stand me. I would prefer to have
most of our corn cut by hand, but
with the labor we have this is im-
possible, and for this reason we like
the binder. Twenty ‘ﬁve years ago
help was abundant, and from sev-
enty-ﬁve cents to a. dollar would hire
an acre of corn cut, but that is
history now, and without a binder
today, ‘our com would go uncut. I
feel the same about husking corn
with a shredder. I would far rath-
er have it husked by hand, but it is
impossible to get it all out this way,
and the husker will do it, although it
may not be as neat a job.

It is quite evident the time has
come when farmers must accomplish
farm operations the best they can‘
even though this may not be the
ideal’way or the one they prefer.

No doubt two thirds of the people
will say labor shortage is the worst
problem with which a farmer has to
contend, or that the shortage of 1a-
bor is the cause of the so-called agri-
cultural depression. However, this
is open for discussion and in a. near
future article the writer will give
some of his views on the subject.

doubtedly true, but, in this case, we
believe that the much critisized

 

.grower is not to blame. The blame

should be put where it belongs,
namely; on an impractical and un—

workable grading law.

We believe that, for all practical
purposes, there are at present, only
two grape grades, the Fancy Table

'.grade and the No. 2 grade. There

is, in fact, not enough difference be-
tween the Fancy Table grade and the
No.1 grade to make the latter of any

. use whatever. ’7

The No.1 grade, being packed
mostly in .jumbo baskets, is used
almost entirely for juice purposes.
and, as long asthe grapes are well
colored and mature, we see no rea—

son why this grade should not in-r

 

 

MEET THE MISSUS, (11an
Girls, (we are speaking to those whose

,hearts ﬂutter when they see a. picture of

our handsome Fruit- and Orchard editor)
we want you to meet Mrs. Herbert Nar-
ziger. We hated to do this but as he is
happily married we thought it best that
you know, so that you can encourage the
attention of local admirers before it is

clude a good big tolerance for strag-
gly bunches. The No. 2 grade could
then serve for grapes which have not

colored properly and do not meet'

the other grade requirements.
_ It is true that the present No. 1
grade includes an allowance for “less

' compact” bunches, but under the law

as it is interpreted at present, “less

. compact” does not mean “straggly”.

We believe that the grape grading
laws should draw clear and unmis-
takable lines between the grades, so
that the Fancy Table grade should
be a good grade, the No. 1 fair and
the ,No. 2 poor.

A successful No.1 grade is vital
to the grape industry. Why not put
it on the map by making it prac‘
tical and workable. As the law
stands at present the No. 1 is mere-
ly a paragraph in a circular and

v-means nothing ‘to the practical

grower. .

Michigan. \ -

UDGING from your description we
J believe that your raspberries are
elected with cane-blight. This
disease affects the canes and the berg
ries. A whole cane or a branch may
suddenly wilt or one side of a cane
may be aﬂected which will cause
it to become very brittle. The only
treatment is to remove and burn the
old canes immediately after harvest.
In the early spring the patch should
be gone over again and all dead di-
seased canes removed and burned.

Oats will make a good cover crop
toihold snow and add humus to the

You can sell plants to your neigh-
bors without inspection but it you
wish to advertise or sell to other
nurseries then we would advise you
to write to the State Inspector of
Orchards and Nurseries, State De-
partment of Agrictlture, Lansing,
Michigan.

You are considerably north of the
commercial grape belt so perhaps
your grapes have not been out long
enough to bear. It the grapes are
growing well then all that is neces-
sary is patience. Barring frosts they
ought to bear next year.

GOING INTO BERRY BUSINESS

We are just beginning to cultivate
strawberries, also raspberries. We
have rich sandy soil and also some
low land ﬁne for gardening or fruit.
Now my problem is where and how
will I ﬁnd a good market? It would
be a help to ship all we raise to one
place. I ship my poultry to a com-
mission house in Detroit. Can you
tell me where Icould ship fruit or
berries and get a fair price? We
think we should like to ship our pro-
duce until we learn the details of
the business as grading, etc., and
are better equipped to deliver.-—-—Mrs.
L. B., St. Johns, Michigan.

OUR “rich sandy soil” sounds
good to me. The low land may
be an excellent garden site but

-as a rule low land is not a good
location for fruit because the frost
is apt to settle there.

Berry growers in the fruit belt
market their fruit in various ways.
One way is to ship everything to a
reliable commission house. Some
sell all they can at the roadside and
if you live on a farm on a main read
much fruit can be' disposed of in this
way. Another favorite method is to
haul the fruit to a city market and
this is a very good way if you live

'within reasonable distance of such a

market. A surprising amount of pro—
duce is, sold every year by farmers
who sell their fruit from house to
house and to workers in industrial
centers, such as Flint, Lansing. De—
troit, etc. To make a success of
this method you will need all of the
essentials of good salesmanship. such
as a pleasing manner, plenty of
patience, a good sales talk, and a
good quality of goods to sell.

Which ever method you may
choose, get ready before hand and do
not wait until the fruit is ready for
harvest. If you decide to ship to a
commission house look up their repu-
tation and ﬁnancial rating before you
send them anything and if possible
make them a visit so as to get per-
sonally acquainted. Shipping to a
commission house is very convenient
but some farmers found it rather
costly and net returns per crate are
not likely to be as high as by a
thorough application of one of the
other methods.

" THINK," said Doug decisively, "that
if we don’t get out of here before
morning our goese is cooked. Let’s

have a look.” . “

The single window was barred with
two-inch bars set in concrete. The walls
were brick, two feet thick; the ﬂoor was
concrete, and the door was as impreg-
nable as Gibraltar= ‘

“Here- for keeps,",said Doug. "We
couldn't get out with anything short of
ultra-glycerin.”

"They spent the rest of the night prowl-
ing Over the cell. Daylight came and
they were still at it.

Terry became desperate. “Let’s pile
the bedclothes in the middle of the ﬂoor
and set ﬁre to them." he said. “Then

[when he unlocks the door make a run
'for it."

“Can try it," said Doug. "Might get
down to the courthouse and get our busi-
ness done up before he grabs us, Maybe
he'll stop to put out the ﬁre."

They piled the mattress and blankets
in the middle of the ﬂoor and Terry ap-
plied a match. There was some trouble
in igniting them, but ﬁnally they caught.
There was little ﬂame, but a thick, foul-
smelling cloud ‘of smoke ﬁlled the room
and ﬂoated out in the corridor thru the
door of steel bars. 80 intense did the
smoke become that they were obliged to
lie down to avoid being suffocated.

“Suits me,” Terry, ﬁnally managed to
say.
“I'm this way," continued Kord, lean-

ing an arm on the table, “I’d druther'have'

a man’s good-will than his bad-will
Figger I might need a favor some time."
“Guess you’re right,"'agreed Terry.

“Now, then, we're neighbors over there
and we might as well live neighborly,
way I look at it, and any time I can help
you tellers out, why, just let me know."

After he had gone, the boys sat and
stared at each other “for a long time,
never saying a word—like two owls,

“Now, what do you know’ about that!"
said Doug finally.

“You can search me!” replied Terry.

“If he had come at us with a gun in
‘each hand and a knife in his teeth, I
wouldn't have been any more surprised."

“Me, either! Not that I wouldn't a lot
rather be on good terms with him than
bad—Here cames old Mort right now."

Mort strode across the room and sat
down at their table. "Couldn’t wait till
you got back to hear the news," he said.
"So I just saddled up and fogged over

here. How'd you come out?"
“All hunky-dory," ‘said Terry. "It’s
cur's." ,

Mort slapped his knee with satisfaction.
“Kord was just in here, and he was

For a long time they waited. At least
it seemed a long time to them.

“Must be asleep," choked Terry.

“Let’s see if we can wake him up,"
suggested Doug, and he began yelling,
“Fire! Fire! Fire ' Terry joined him.

Almost directly a door clanged and
hurried feet rushed down the corridor.

“What's up in there?" It was the sher-
iff’s voice. The room was so crammed
with smoke that he could see nothing.
In fact, the boys could not even see the
bars in the door.

“We're burning up!" said Doug, in a
smothered voice. "Open up, there i”

They heard the lock turn and the door
creak as it opened. The sheriff was
coughing and strangling furiously and
they crawled out silently past him down
the corridor and out the door.

Terry drew a deep breath of the fresh
air and laughed. “Never did see us, did
he? Bet he's up there ﬁshing around in
that smoke for us."

"Let 'im fish." said Doug. “Let's get
over to the courthouse while he’s still
at it." '

The hands of the courthouse clock
pointed to a quarter to eight as they ap=
preached the building. A man was stand-
ing, back turned, at the front door, ap-
parently waiting until the door opened.

“That’s Kord." said Terry. “Let's go
around by the back way."

They slipped around and entered at the
basement door. Inside, the janitor was
sitting half asleep by the boiler, smok-
ing a pipe so short that it almost met
his nose."

“Morning," he said, out of the corner
of his mouth, without removing the pipe.

“Morning," replied Doug. "When will
the registrar be in ?”

“In now. He always comes down early
and goes in this way. I don’t unlock the
front door till eight o’clock."

“Where’s his oﬁice?” inquired Terry
breathlessly.

“Second ﬂoor. You'll see the sign."

In their rush they forgot to thank him.
Up the stairs they bounded, found the
ofﬁce and entered. The registrar, a busid
nesslike man, smiled. at their breathless
entry. He took Terry’s afﬁdavit and
posted the records. They pocketed his
receipt, and out they put, heads in the

air, just as the janitor opened the front‘

door. Thru it they rushed, and met Kord
coming in. -
“Why, hello, there!" said Doug, with

affected surprise.

“Why, hello !" echoed Terry, in an iden-
tical tone.

Kord stared, open mouthed, turned and
looked at them as they swung down the
street.

“Let’s ea " said Terry.

“Same here," said Doug. “Here’s the
restaurant.” ' ,

While they were eating, Kord entered
and took a. seat near them. He looked
across and saw them.

“He's coming over," said Doug.

“Sure glad to know that," said Terry.
“And he’s welcome to all the water we
won’t need."

“Have you seen the bank?" asked Mort
suddenly.

"Dog-gone!" exclaimed Terry.

”Well, listen! That’s mostl'y what I
came for. You’ll waste time seeing them.
You boys go around and see Ben An-
derson."

“You mean the saddle and harness
man ?"

“That’s him."

"Do you know how much we‘ve got to
have?" asked Terry, incredulously.

“Don’t make any difference," Mort
grinned. “You go ahead and see him.
Tell him how you’re ﬁxed. If he takes
a fancy to you, he’ll ﬁx you up; if he
don’t he won’t. That's Ben’s way. Now
go ahead while I eat my breakfast."
They found the old man working on a
saddle.

“Why, hello!" he said. "You tellers
get over the divide all right that time?”
"By walking all night,” said Doug.

Ben chuckled. "What can I do for
you?” he asked.

Terry glanced around at the little shop.
The whole thing, building included, could
not be worth more than six or eight
hundred. .

“Lend us ﬁve thousand dollars,"
said.

"Zwick pinching you?"
calmly.

Terry nodded.

“Got any security to put up?"

“Eight or ten thousand bushels of grain.
Won't need the money only until we can
sell the grain."

“Can you sign for your father?"

Terry pulled out the slip of paper.
"This says so," he said. '

"Be willin’ to sign me an order on the
grain?" - . -

“Sure.”

“Alright." Ben turned to his desk,
unearthed a pair of steel rimmed spec-
tacles. and wrote laboriously for a few
minutes.

“Do you reckon,” Terry said, as they
walked toward the bank, “that old codger

"Can't believe it," said Doug, “but we'll

At the bank, Terry passed the check
to the clerk and said: “That check any

Terry gasped.

“Hundreds be all right?” asked the

window. Then, seeing their faces, \ho

"Let's get down to the bank!" begged
Doug, “before that money takes wings
and ﬂies away! Maybe it's counterfeit,”

However, the lower bank took it with-
out question. Mort, on the way home
that afternoon, enjoyed their bewilder-
ment hugely.

“Old Ben, is one of the richest men
in these parts," he said. ”When you’re
solid with him, you're sittin' on the world.
And it don’t take him a year to make up
his mind about a person, either."

“Sure fooled me!" replied Terry.

It was dark when they reached home,
as usual. Cattle were lowing up on the
feed ground, lights were gleaming thru
the snow, for it was snowing again, and
a general sense of satisfaction and well-
doing possessed everybody. Mr. Muir
seemed better than he had for years.

What a cozy. homelike place that big
kitchen was! Outside the snow swirled
gustily, but inside those sturdy logs gave
warmth and goOd cheer.

“Who made the biscuits tonight?" asked
Doug, as they drew up to the table.

"I did!" said Mary. deﬁantly.

“Oh Lord !" groaned Doug, seizing one.
“My teeth’s wore clear down to the gums

“Too bad !" mocked Mary.

“Boys,” Mr. Muir interrupted the chaff-
ing, “as soon as we get title to that half-
section. I aim to divide it between you.
That will give you a hundred and sixty
acres apiece—a nice start."

"You tell 'em !" exclaimed Doug. “And
there’s a ﬁne place on the upper side to

There was a great stillness in the room.

. TEXT: “And he took a little child
and set him in the midst of them?”—
lﬁark 9-88.

ND all thy children shall be
taught of the Lord, and great
shall be the peace of thy child-

ren. " The prophet spoke better than

. he knew. In a general way he saw
a time when righteousness would
prevail. In the thought of Isaiah,
the convenant of God’s peace was
sure. The hearts of men were to be
shifted from a tranciency‘of material
things to a loVe for higher things.
But the meaning of his words did
not have New Testament depth and
signiﬁcance. Our Lord Christ has
proposed that God’s kingddm is to
come thru the children when they
are taught of him.

We are now in our fourth annual
vacation bible school at the Oak-
dale community church. The child-
ren are delighted. A feature of our
closing days will be an automobile
parade thru the surrounding country
and towns. Our church orchestra
will accompany and the children will
sing songs. As a part of the hand
work of the school the children are
making pennants for each car. Well,
the child is in our midst and the
challenge that comes to us is to
place Christ's value upon it. We
have learned pretty well the value of
the material things about us. We
are pretty good students of eco-
nomics. We show a clever hand at
ﬁguring the production cost of this
or that we might realize proﬁts. In
these things we have standards. But,
in the personalities of life, we also
have standards. Yet, they are en—
tirely different. Here we throw away
our arithmetic. Arithmetic is for-
eign to heaven. An heaven says that
children are of kingdom value. The
security of society is to accept the
worth estimate that Christ places
upon every child soul. we certainly
need a greater sensitiveness along
this line.

' Did you ever look into the face of
an infant child and feel like bring-
ing it gifts and incense? Who knows
what is wrapped up in a swaddled
baby? All of us believe that there
is something elect and heavenly in
a baby's face. I am now imaging the
Hebrew mothers who for centuries
looked into their babies’ "faces and
wondered which one might be the
coming Messiah. And that was a
great day for Mary when Gabriel
said to her, “Hail thou art highly
favored, the Lord is with thee." And
“the holy thing which is begotten
shall be called the Son of God." But
all babies have in Lthem the native
yearnings and possibilities of son-
ship. Of course, they come to us in
unassumed character. We do not
know just what place they will ﬁll
in life. Yet, this depends mostly
upon their elders. It is the right of
their birth to have a fair start in
life. No matter where they are
born, it is society’s moral responsibil-
ity to treat with them with rare con-
cern. But we are not doing it. Why?
We have not- yet become Christian
enuf. Every new child is Christ
coming back to us whether born in
hovel or mansion. When are we
going to learn that every child is
distinctive in its mold since made in
the image of God? How long before
we will believe that Christ would
identify himself with the child so
that its true Christian rank might be
unfolded to the world.. As we deal
with our" children so we deal with

, their Father in heaven.

Mrs. Lamoreaux, in her timely
little volume “The Unfolding Life,"
says "In dealing with things the
vessel marred in the making can be
set aside or fashioned anew, but a ,
life is for eternity. "The faulty
work cannot be undone. The mis-
take can never be wholly rectiﬁed,
for life never yields up What is given

tlieitree to bring forth good fruit in
its season, says the psalmist, we
must plant it by the streams of
water. This is a parable of human
living.~ There are four peach trees

'on the parsonage grounds where I

live. Three of them were not prop-
erly pruned in the beginning years.
Now they are ill—shaped and ill pre-
pared for normal fruit and to stand
the storms that beat against them.
The other tree I set out last year
and I am pruning it to a low head
and heavy, stocky body for the strain
of ,fruitage and storm. This tree has
a promising future. But all this is
true of the child. It needs deﬁnite
attention or else it is bound to have
an illa-shapen life. This is the mut-
ual responsibility of the home and
society. In childhood, life takes
form and bias according to its en-
viroment in home and community.
Boys and girls live their lives in
terms of standards created for them.
Tomorrow as adults they will be
speaking the words and acting the
selves of their fathers and mothers.
When they go into the far country
of sin; when they are selﬁsh, coarse,
haughty, and irreverent, something,
with but few exceptions, has been
wrong at home. Most of the saints
have been» made at home.

This generation is giving much too
little attention to the religious and
moral training of children. The
state is saying, “This is not for me"
and the Home says, “I’ll give the
job over to the church." And the
church is not serious enuf. Author-
ities tell us that of the children und-
er twenty-ﬁve years of age, nineteen
out of twenty Jewish, three out of
four Roman Catholic, and two out
of three of all Protestant children
have not sufﬁcient religious back—
ground to expect them to become
safe citizens. This .is forcibly brought
home to all of us thru the juvenile
crime and delinquency of our day.
Christ put a child in the midst and
made him the pivot in the life and
enterprise of a Christian civilization.
And the child is yet the essential
center in the life and work of the
church.

Now, our trouble is, we are too
busy to sit at the feet of Christ to
get his conception of life and pro-
gress. We do not have time to take
the children and attend Sunday
morning worship. Many mothers re—
main at home to prepare big Sunday
dinners and fathers to work on their
car to get it ready for the afternoon
drive. “We always have time enuf
if we will ,but use it aright.” Pity
is to the children who aremissing
the boon of a Christian home.
Christ’s words to Martha are always
impressive, “You are troubled and
anxious about many things, but one
thing is needful.” In our great con-
cern for the physical necessities and
pleasures of our children we may be
the potent cause in their missing the
highest and best in life. Our true
character is shown in the way we
deal with our children.

DAIRYING IN MICHIGAN

AIIRYING in Michigan has a great future,
in the estimation of Mr. W. E. Skinner,
secretary of the National Dairy Association,

and he informed the Editor that he was more
impressed with the possibilities in this state than
in any other in the dairy sections.

Such a statement, given out by a man who for
many years has been connected with the organiza-
tion responsible for the National Dairy Exposition,
who has devoted much time to the study of dairy
cattle and the states where dairying plays an
important part in their farm program, bears more
than ordinary signiﬁcance with the public. But
to the farmers of this state it means dollars and
cents, and they should accept Mr. Skinner’s view—
point as that of an outsider who has made a
careful survey of all dairy states with no personal
interest in any of them, and plan the extension
of their dairying operations accordingly.

Many of the farmers of Michigan took advant-
age of the opportunity to visit the Dairy Expos-
ition during the forepart of this month at De-
troit and they gained ideas which they can work
out to a wonderful advantage on their own farms
and pass along to their neighbors who did not
attend. The holding of such a show within the
borders of any state is bound to cause the dairy-
ing industry of that state to take a great step
forward, and we are looking for a very progress—
ive future for dairying in Michigan.

living in the past, in the days when all Mich~
igan, except a few of the southern counties,

was covered with dense woods, and mostly in-
habited by Indians, with deers, bears and wolves
roaming at will. The railroad had not penetrated
very far northward in those days and most of the
traveling was done by ox team or on foot over
the Indian trails. The newcomer fell the trees
for a double purpose—to make a clearing so that
he could put up a rude cabin to house his family,
and he needed the logs to build the cabin with.
Then began his ﬁght to win a farm out of the
forest, and he usually won, with the help of his
good wife and children.

We have been reading the letters entered by
our pioneer letter contest, and it was a most in-
teresting task, one that we were loathe to see come
to an end. They are so interesting that one wants
to read them over two or three times, in fact, we

did do that with several of them, and the judges ,

had a. most difﬁcult, yet interesting, job to pick
the winners which we are pleased to announce.
The ﬁrst prize of $5.00 went to Lavinia Hem-

‘ inger, of Cedar Springs, who wrote a most inter-

esting story of the life of her father and mother
as well as of her childhood in the central part. of
the state. Charles M. Chaffen, of Ithaca, won
second prize of $3.00, with the story of his own
pioneer days in Gratiot county. The winner of
third prize, Miss Florence Nelson, LeRoy, sent

WHAT WOULD COLUMBUS SAY?

OUR hundred and thirty-four years ago,

Christopher Columbus set sail from Spain

with three frail boats and 120 men to find
new lands. These intrepid mariners sailed for
days upon unchartered waters, going to certain
death in the opinion of most of the people of the
old world, and after over a month they were re~
warded by the sight of land. It was on October
12th, 1492, that they landed on one of the Ba-
hama Islands, which Columbus called San Salva-
dor.

For many years it took at least a month to
cross the ocean but ﬁnally ships were improved
until the time was cut in half. Many of us can
remember when fourteen days were required,
and, that was considered remarkable. But the
world continued to progress and better and faster
ships were built until today the trip can be made
in six days. Aviator-scientists predict that it will
not be long before luxurious ocean air lines will
be established, and giant airships, several thous-
and feet long, will carry people over to Europe
in three days, reducing the time taken by steam-
ships one-half.

What would Columbus say if he could return
to earth today and 'view our modern methods of
transportation?

SERVICE FOR MICHIGAN POULTRYMEN
HE poultrymen of Michigan are not satisﬁed
with the facilities for poultry research at the
Michigan State College and they intend-to
ask Legislature at its next session to appropriate
funds to build a new poultry building and lab-
oratory.

We want to go on record as being in favor
of this move and we believe the Legislature
should heed the request. At present the College
is putting forth almost hopeless effort to serve
Michigan’s $72,000,000 poultry industry with
equipment valued at only $8,500. The $26,000,-
000 fruit industry of the state—is being served
with equipment costing $400,000, and the $72,-
000,000 dairy industry by equipment costing
$65,000. Comparing the value of the industries
by the value of the equipment used in serving
them, on wonders how the poultry industry
of the stat has made any progress.

Certainly no one would argue that we have too
much equipment for serving our fruit‘ and dairy
industries, in fact we are inclined to wonder at
times if we have enough, yet we are trying to
serve our poultrymen with only one—ninth the
investment that we have in equipment for serv—
ing the Michigan fruit growers.

Furthermore, we understand there are no
funds appropriated for poultry research work,
while sums ranging from $6.00 to $24,000 are

 

 

STATE POLICE HELPING FIGHT

LTlIOUGH our campaign against the
chicken thief in Michigan was an-
nounced only recently we are already

working on them. with the hearty support
of the State Police, and hope to put some
of the swindlers in jail. Commissioner Alan
Straight has assured us that the State
Police will gladly work with us in our war
against those who raid the farmer's chicken
coop, and take his year’s proﬁt from chick-
ens, all within a few moments. Working

HERE IS YOUR CHANCE, GIRLS
have before us a very interesting letter
from a young farmer of this state. He
writes that he is 25 years old, weighs 145
pounds, is strong physically and"‘full of pop", of
a quiet disposition and interested in things of a
moral nature, and he wishes to becOme acquaint-
ed with a charming young lady. He has a com-
mon school education and is a graduate of two
short courses at M. S. 0.

Here is a ﬁne young man, located in a fertile
section of the state, who is looking for a. life part-
ner. From his letter'we can tell that the ﬂapper
type of girl does not interest him. He wants a
sweet young lady who likes the farm and would
be interested in becoming the wife of a progress-
ive young "farmer.

Of course, love will play its important part in
the match, just as it should, but it will not be a
difﬁcult matter for the right young lady to fall in
love withhim, or him with her.

We are not operating a matrimonial bureau
but. we do want, to help this young‘man so if
there are any young ladies who would like to be-
come acquainted with him we would like to hear
frOm them.- Understand that this is a serious
matter and we want to hear only from those who
consider it in that light. Letters should be ad-
dressed to the Editor and they will be considered
strictly conﬁdential.

A WEATHER BARGAIN
EVERAL years ago a rainmaker made a con-
tract with the farmers of a semi-arid region
whereby he was to receive a thousand dol-
lars an inch for the rainfall during three months.
He got about $8,000 out of his contract; but the
other fellows ﬁgured that it might have rained
just as much without the rain-maker and this
year they made him a new proposition. They
planted 640 acres of wheat for the weather wiz-
ard and told him to turn on the water'and make
a crop of it, for it would cost him nothing but
harvesting. After busting off a few buttons in
his efforts to produce some showers he was com-
pelled to harvest a dry crop, out of’ which he.
got less than a dollar an acre. Yet some folks _
think farmers need a business guardian and every
other sort of guardian!

 

FROM ONE OF OUR FRIENDS

“WE are trying to give you the kind of a. farm
that you want, one that is of service and

value to you in every way, and the only
way that we can learn if we are doing this is
for you to tell us. Considering how busy the
farm life is you have been very kind to us in
this matter by writing letters and responding to
our requests that you renew your subscriptions
and we ,thank you most heartily.

‘No two letters we received are alike, of course,
but 'every one is interesting with some expressing
the personality of the writers more than others.
One in particular which we have in mind at this
time came from a Gratiot county subscriber liv—'
ing near Alma. Along with his renewal for three
years he sent in the following:

Hauling at Night

“I am a reader of your paper and
have read about the Poultry thieves.
I am a farmer here in Tuscola coun-
ty, but I travel on the roads a great
deal and I have noticed a~.lot of
trucks and cars of all kinds hauling
poultry at night.

“Now I cannot see why a farmer
must start for the city at midnight
with a load of poultry these days
when we can make a market in three
hours nowadays at anytime. I think
it would make a great deal of dif-
ierence it there was a law passed

that no poultry is allowed to be one

any moving vehicle after sun down
till sun up. This law would sure
help the farmer; and I don’t think
any farmer would have any objec-
tions to this law as it would help
him. I think poultry buyers that go
around the country buying poultry
could stop at night with their trucks
until day-light to make their ma’r-
ket. I also think these poultry buy-
ers (that is some of them) know just
how this poultry stealing is done. I
have no proof to this but have seen
a lot of them driving at night at all
hours for Flint and other large
towns. No one can stop them or say

a thing to them, which‘makes it very
easy for these poultry thieves to get
away.

night, he should have a special per-
mit to do so and stop and show it if
he is stopped on the road at night.
In that way night marshalls in small
towns can stop him when going
through, also deputies and sheriffs
would demand to see this permit or
hold individual until he can prove
his property.

“There are several large poultry
buyers in Caro. I think these buy-
ers should demand name and ad-
dress of all that sell poultry to them.
These buyers are well acquainted
with all farmers in the surrounding
country. These men could quickly
detect strangers and ii suspicious
could have investigation started.
hoping this will help some to destroy
these thieves as I wish to see this

Lost 29 One Night

“I am writing to you concerning
chicken thieves. Sept. 24, we had
20 chickens’stolen from our .roost. I
don’t think they went very far away.
We reported to the sheriff in Sault
Ste. Marie, but he did not try to hunt
down the ones who stole the chick-
ens. I am a paid up subscriber to

“I appreciate your movement to.

protect the poultry of Michigan
against thieves, as per page 15th of
current issue; it is mighty progres-
sive and liberal on your part, but
cannot we get into the game with
you in some way and do our bit.

*—~For instance, I would be only too

glad to chip a dollar to swell the
fund to help get the fellows who
steal chickens in our locality. Could
we not get some paper in each coun-
ty to co-operate with you and double
the reward in their county in this
way? If there is any way that I
can help you in this good work,
please advise me."——L. W., Living-g

pany went to the wall and the stock
has been oi! the market for some
time, or it was a ‘fﬂy-by-night con-
cern that existed on paper only.
Possibly the latter is the case, and
the word “amusement” in the name
has reference to the salesman when
he sold any of the stock and had the
cash in his pocket.

GROWING CHILD NEEDS QUART
OF MILK PER DAY
ERE are a number of good rea—
sons why a growing child needs
a quart of milk per day.

1. Milk is the best single food.
It supplies easily digesed proteins
for body building; mineral salts for
blood, bones and teeth; vitamines
for health and growth; and easily di—
gested fat and sugar for energy and
gain in weight.

2. Milk is economical as supply
of lime and body builders. One
glass gives 54; amount lime needed
daily. One glass equals (in lime
supply), 81/2 eggs, 1%. cabbage, 5%
pounds potatoes, 8% pounds of
meat. One quart of milk gives as
much protein as 4 large eggs or 7
ounces sirloin steak.

, 3. Milk makes meal planning
easy. Milk is the foundation—not
the whole diet. Egg yolk or vege—
tables will add the iron, tomato or
orange juice the vitamies needed,
and fruits, vegetables, whole cereals
and bread will supply the roughage.
.4. Milk and milk products are
easily used in cooking. Here. are
some dishes based on milk: Cocoa,

soup, milk gravy, creamed dishes,
_ custards, puddings, ice cream, and
sherbet. Here are some combina-

tions with milk: cereals and breads,
fruits and fruit juices.
Use of Milk in Body

1. Protein. When milk enters
the stomach it clots or clabbers as it
does during the souring process in
the milk pan. Certain little bacteria
(harmless) work on the sugar in the
milk and make an acid. It is the
ﬁeld that clabbers the milk or makes
the protein solid. That is exactly
what happens in the stomach.

2. Sugar. The sugar in milk is
lactose. It is not so sweet as ordi-
nary sugar and is easier to digest.
'It furnishes heat.

3. Fat. All whole milk contains
fat in the form of cream. It is in the
form of “emolsion” and is therefore
easily digested.

4. Mineral. Lime and phosphor-
5, one, especially needed in bones and
teeth, are there in the proper com-
bination for best work. One quart
'mllk gives theday’s supply of lime
and about 1/3, supply phosphorous.

TIME SAVERS BRING REST
PERIODS
O the housewife who believes in
the gospel of rest and recreation
as well as the gospel of work,
the following suggestions are offered
by Mary A. Davis, extension special-
ist in foods and nutrition at South
Dakota State College.

A homemaker must make short
cuts to the necessary “three meals
a day", if she wants time to enjoy
friends, clubs, books, an hour or two
in the open, and occasional motor
trips.

Food put in charge of silent ser-
vants needs little or no watching.
A wise homemaker will gradually
collect implements and tools that
will make kitchen work easier.

She will often select one-dish din-

She will keep the tools and equip-

The housewife will save many
steps by a simple rearrangement of
the kitchen ﬁxtures.

In every well-managed home, the
wife of the house will have on her
pantry shelves, meats, vegetables,
and fruits canned in season, which
can be. prepared for the table in a

She will have trays and wheel

She will have a high stool to sit

HE average farm wife does more

away the dishes. You can do in one
trip what would require several
without it.

The simple wheel tray equipped
with common castors can be easily
built by anyone who is at all handy
with a hammer and saw, and many
of them are constructed by women
whose husbands are too busy to ﬁnd
the time. Of course the second one
is more substantial, looks nicer and
will prove more satisfactory, but do
not go without a kitchen wagon just
because there may not be time for
construction of this one.

Who Pays, 'When and Whore—Tho
moving picture has accustomed u to the
phrase: "The woman pays and ays and
pays," but this is by no means he in-
variable social rule. If you are se off
a friend at the Pennsylvania Terminal,

and excuse yourself for a. moment to re- '

turn with an armful of magazines for her
to read on the train, the question as t9,",
who pays, naturally, does not arise. But
—and this is the gist of the whole matter
of the woman’ s paying—it is her decision

1..

which must be respected, in the last an- }

alysis, especially in these days of feminine
independence. Ever since Ibsen wrote
"The Doll’s House” woman’s greater in-
dependence has had an increasing number
of social reﬂexes. The old theory that
woman ﬁnancially is always a clinging
vine has been abandoned. As in somany
other cases, ‘the degree of friendship be-
tween a. man or woman plays -a 'part.
Two young people were engaged, for the-
sake of some practical end in view, may
have decided that each should pay his
own way when together. This involves
no breach of etiquette. Bus and. taxi
fares are paid and subway and elevated
tickets bought by the man as a rule——
unless the lady objects and prefers to.
pay for herself. If she does object, it is
impolite of the man to insist. Remember
that while it is a privilege—or a duty,
if you choose—to pay a. woman’ s fare on
any local conveyance, it is her prerogative
to pay for herself if she so desires. In a.

restaurant, even though she be the host~'

ess (and hence the person who pays) at:
a. supper or theatre party, a check should
never be presented to a lady. »

It stands to reason that a woman never
pays a man’s fare or his restaurant check
when she is not formally his hostess.
If by some mischance, a man’s billfold‘
has been mislaid or stolen and he dis-
covers the loss, the lady (if he cannot
avoid explaining his embarrassment)
should slip the money to him, allowing
him to pay. The woman hostess of a.
party, however, who has engaged con--
veyances of any kind to carry her guests
from one place to another (the transpor-
tation thus being an incident of her in-
vitation) always pays. Her husband or
a male friend should attend to the de-
tails (purchase the tickets, etc) but she
should pay. This applies to a meal in a
restaurant as well, under similar cir-
cumstances. But to avoid embarrassment
(especially where there are male guests)
the dinner, luncheon or tea,
tips, should be paid in advance.

At a business luncheon. in which a man
and a woman meet on a ”man to man"
footing, as a convenience in discussing
affairs, each usually pays his own check,
unless the lady in question has accepted
the appointment as an invitation. In
any case, when it is simply a question of
luncheon to the theatre matinee or musi-
cals, football game or any other, the man
pays as a matter of course.

Sweet Piolﬂes.-1-Mrs. D.. Alamo, Mich-
igan, wishes recipe for sweet pickles. The
following will be a guide: quarts of
cucumbers; 1 quart vinegar; 2 cups of
1 table-
spoon of mustard or seed; 2 teaspoonful
Vtumerlc. Wash cucumbers, put in salt
water, cup to gallon, over night Drain,
pack in quart jars, put vinegar on in
kettle, :add sugar, or leave sugar out if

you like. Let come to a boil. Fill jars
and seal. Or another for larger cucum—
bers, medium size: Slice two quarts of

cucumbers. 2 onions in separate dishes
using the above amounts or to taste but
when vinegar is.hot put cucumbers and
onions in and let come to a boil and
seal being careful not to break as they
should be cut thin.

Ever-Ready or Quick Pickle.—-Still an-
other to the busy farmer wife. Take one
or two gallon crock. For a two gallon
crock take two gallons vinegar, 1 cup of
mustard, 1 cup salt, 2 cups sugar. Have
crock clean and well scalded put liquid
in and stir well. Wash cucumbers and
add each day any size only those that
are very large. Keep cloth on top with
plate turned over. Keep pickle under
vinegar always. They are something
like dill but are better and always ready
in a hurry and easy to put away. Set
on cellar ﬂoor or in a cool place.

Jelly—To make jelly this time of year
take a. peck of red apples, quarter taking
Wash having all clean. Put in
steam kettle two quarts water. Cook un-
Put in jelly bag and let
drip over night. In the morning cook 1
quart half ripe grapes in pint of water
mashing as they cook take juice and add
to apple juice and measure. Put 011 to
boil, when it starts to boil add sugar
97/4. cup to every cup of juice. Boil slowly
If it thickens on
spoon it is done. If you would like to
change the color use any fruit juice such
as plums, cherries or berry juice—Mrs.
Z., Washtenaw County.

Making Pickles.——Mrs. D., Alamo, Mich-
igan, asks in September 11th issue 'of M.
B. F. for a recipe for sweet small cu-
cumber pickles and I am sending what I
think the best and by far the easiest I
haVe ever tried. Am also sending one for
large cucumbers I think good. Both can
be put up a little at a time if desired or
as many.

Saccharine Pickles.—Wash and pack in
jars small cucumbers and cover with the
following mixture without heating: 1
quart of cider vinegar, 1/4 cup ground
mustard, 14 cup salt, {it teaspoon of sac-
charine. 1 teaspoon of .mixed spice.

Sliced Cucumber Pickle.——12 large cu-
cumbers, 6 small onions slice thin and
cover with 1 teacup of salt. Let stand
two hours, drain and add 1 quart of
vinegar, 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon
celery seed, 2 tablespoons mustard seed.
Bring to a boil. can and seal.——Mrs. R. S.

Linseed Meal acts like a block-and-tackle
on feeding proﬁts.

 

Its conditioning qualities allow animals to
make better use of other feeds.

Its high protein content and digestibility
speed up gains. Its manurial value is un-
usually high.

Thus it acts like a leverage or gear ratio
in making rations more than maintenance
rations.

It makes the extra flesh, wool and milk
that-mean real proﬁts.

Feeders who have kept accurate record say
that it . . . PAYS AS HIGH AS 100%.

The books illustrated herewith show you
how. Written by successful feeders, ex-
periment station men and marketing Spe-
cialists. You’ll find them very valuable.

EAR boys and girls: I do not
know whether I will be able to
write an intelligent letter or not

this week because I have received a
great shock that has left me in some
what dazed condition. You see. it
happened this way. In judging the
entries in our most recent “Read and
Win" contest we found that ﬁrst and
second prizes had been won by boys.
Yes, that is right—boys. It doesn’t
seen possible but it’s the truth. Why
the girls thought the boys just didn't
dare to try for any of the best prizes,
and here two of them step right in
and take ﬁrst and second before they
know it.

Having been a boy myself many,
many years ago, naturally I was al-
most tickled to pieces to learn that
the male members of our circle
broke into the spot-light and I am
as proud as a peacock.

Keep up the good work, boys. The
girls are real experts at contests, but
so are you if you try hard.

The winners of the “mystery”
prizes are: Arthur Fox, age 11, of
Kewadin, who gets a Boy Scout jack-

‘ knife, as ﬁrst prize; Edward W. Kra-

ima, age 13, of Marion, gets a nice
two-blade jackknife as second prize;
and Hildegard Gohlke, age 15, of
Ossineke, won a leatherette school
bag in which to carry her books and
pencils to and from school as third
prize.

Our joke contest is coming along
very nicely and we are going to have
some real funny ones to publish on
our page. In the next issue I hope
to announce the winners in that con-
test and begin a new one of some
kind. I havent exactly decided what
our next contest will be about but I
am working on it.—UNCLE NED.

 

 

Our Boys and Girls

 

 

My Dear Uncle Ned,

I should be in bed,

For it\ is very late,
But writing is my fate.

The Children’s Hour is partly mine,
”I‘is sure to make M. B. F. Shine.
Our motto, “Do your Best”

Will help you, God will do the rest.

Our colors, ”Blue and Gold”,
Are worth a thousand fold.
Our button you may win,
Maybe you’d call it a pin.

You may have one if you choose,

If intelligence you can use,

They are very nice to keep.

When you are old your pleasures reap.

Now I know you cannot see

So I’ll tell you about me.

I weigh one hundred and twenty,
I guess that is a plenty.

I measure ﬁve foot ﬁve,

For six feet I sure will strive,

I have black hair. Sure it’sbobbed
But for beauty, I was robbed.

I’m the eldest in our family.
Brothers four and sisters three.
I live out on a farm

And awake without alarm.

I am ﬁfteen years of age,

I write poems page by page.

I go to Coleman High School

And do my best to obey each rule.

I am President of the Junior Class.
Not so bad for a little lass.

I’ll give you a little hint.—

May I see this in print.

Now my letter I must close

Before you bang me on the nose.
Write to me both girls and boys
For, letters are my greatest joys.

Well, I think I’ve written enough
So I’ll guit this silly stuff.
I live near the river Salt,
And my name is Anna Gault.
-—Anna Gault, Coleman, Mich.

 

Dear Uncle Nedz—I am writing. you to
convince a. friend of mine that these let-
ters are written by the boys and girls,
so please print this letter to show this
friend I am right. You see you haven't
even an address to send the letters to so
I don’ t know if I should send it to M. B.

I will be glad to answer all letters from

letters addressed like that will be. de-
livered to nae—that is providing the pro-
per amount of postage is put on it.

Dear Uncle Nedz—I have not written
to you for so long that I think I had
better-give my description.— I am sixteen
years old the 20th of May, 1927. I am a
freshman in Sault High School this an.
I weigh ninety pounds, am ﬁve feet tall,
bobbed hair, light complexion (except
where I am tanned). When I wrote to
you first I had long hair but I have had
it bobbed. , ,

I have been working out since I last
wrote you. I earned $3. 00 a week. I
suppose you think that a. small wake, do
you Uncle Ned? Maybe you worked for
less when you were young. Now, I am
picking blueberrieg, Uncle Ned. We have
a Star Four touringrcar.

Yes, Uncle Ned, I sure would like to
have a. written story contest. I have
never been in any of your contests yet.

 

“Isn’t my Jack-o-lantern a. nice one?"

I sure would like to write a story. I
have so many subjects to write on I
will have to decide on which one to take.

I wish more. of the cousins would write

to me. I am willing to answer. I have
been keeping correspondence up with
Thelma Harter of Paris, Michigan. Thel-

ma. and I are. becoming great friends.
But one thing I regret to say that Ma'r-
garet of Charlevoix wrote to me
and I lost the letter or something. I
wish she would write to me again. If
she reads this letter or maybe, Uncle
Ned, you know her last name. If you do
I would be very thankful to have it.—

The Right Answer

A man who believed he knew all about
parrots undertook to teach what he
thought to be a young, mute bird to say
“Hello!” repeated that word in a. clear
voice for several minutes, the parrot pay-
ing not the slightest attention. At the
nal “Hello!” the bird opened one eye,
gazed at the man, and snapped ‘out,
“Line’s busy.”

In each loo-pound bag of Com Gluten

JERSEYS AT KALAMAZO

' “COUNTY FAIR

HE display of nearly 40 Jerseys

at the Kalamazoo County Fair

was the direct result of a tour of

the county August’ 12th headed by

the very. efﬁcient ﬁeldman from the

American Jersey Cattle Club, Mr. H.
E. Dennison.

We visited many herds and Mr.
Dennison recommended the showing
of many animals, also urged the
shambles for one sire. Premium list

C. T. A. WORK GAINING IN

POPULARITY
AIRYMEN of the United States
are constantly placing more
faith in the value of cow test-—

ing association records. According
to the United States Department of
Agriculture there are now 844 of
these associations operating in the
United States, testing the herds of
twenty thousand dairymen each
month. More than three hundred
and twenty-ﬁve thousand cows are

regularly under test in these associag

tions. '

The cow testing committee of the
American Dairy Science Association
has completed a set of uniform meth-
ode to be used in the conduct of
these organizations.

Uniform rules now in use in al—
most all states conducting cow test-
ing association work have aided ma-
terially in improving the work of the
cow tester. Cow testers are dairy
cow bookkeepers who are employed
by groups of dairymen to give them
more information about their cow
business. It is the cow tester’s bus-
iness to stop losses through poor
cows. He also helps improve the
rations fed cows and makes a care—
ful study of the breeding value of
dairy bulls used by his members.

Great losses in time, effort. and
money have been incurred in all
dairy sections when no records of
production are kept. The coming of
the cow tester to the dairy farmer
results in the stoppage of these loss-
es. According to A. CyBaltzer, Dairy
Department, Michigan State College,
Chairman of the Committee, even
greater proﬁtable results are expect~
ed throughout the dairy sections’ of
the, country through the continued

applicatiOn of. cow testing methods. .

FAMOUS POWELL FLooK 'no'r .

DISPERSED ,
UMORS to the effect that an.
Powell and Son, from. near
Ionia,
purebred Shropshire sheep to Wm.
E. Scripps, Detroit newspaper man,
and they intend to retire from the
farming business have been going
about the state during the last few
weeks. Stanley Powell, the son‘ in
the ﬁrm, assures us that this rumor

is false. ' , : -
“We did sell around ninety head
to Mr. Scripps,” he-said, “but this is
far from all of our ﬂock. Withi’the
foundation stock we have left we" in-
tend to build a better ﬂock than we
have ever had so far. And, of course
that means that we are not going to

heads, while Berkeley Rock showed
only 2 or 3 per cent of smutted
heads, and, for all practical pur-
poses, may be considered immune
to this disease. '

Probably of even greater import-
ance is it resistance to the loose
smut, the“ disease which shows quite
badly in most of our wheats at abOut
the time they are heading out, and
which can only be controlled by a
difficult and inaccurate hot water
treatment. For four years, inspect-
ors for the Michigan Crop Impro’ve-
ment Association have been locking
over ﬁelds of Berkeley Rock, and
for even longer periods the variety
has been included in tests conducted
by the Michigan State College and in
no instance has therebeen an in-
festation of the loose smut.

Berkeley Rock Wheat prefers the
heavier types of soils, where the
nitrogen and organic matter avail—
able makes possible the successful
production of the harder types of
red wheat.

Its climatic range throughout
Michigan is Wide. In addition to
the high quality crop of Mr. Phillips,
which yielded ‘30 bushels to the glare,

 

    

 

G. P. Phillips

 

 

a fellow Eaton county farmer, John
Gidner of Pottersville, secured 37

’ _g. I Would appreciate your advice in

regards to a registered Jersey heifer
I fought a few days ago. A bull got
to th'1s animal when about nine
mulls old. She carried calf full
tiﬂe and Was dried up. I had this
mt bred a few days ago. Now it
seems the herd where I got this an-
mu has contagious abortion. Is

. there anything I can do in regards

to ‘a preventative or possibly a cure,

win-case» this animal has got it? Do
'v‘a‘ls seven in stiﬂe joints with
'tﬂa disease?-—~E. R. J., Tustin, Mich.

R not likely that this heifer will
néw show any ill effects from her
exposure to abortion if she has
shoddy carried onm calf full time;
, is nothing you can do but if
you think there is danger why not
sol her to the butcher now? There
is no cure or preventative other than
disinfection. Cattle do not swell at
tle stiﬂe joints with this trouble.

mamas

I have some pigs which are four
maths old and they seem unable to
stand right. They keep stepping
tron one foot to the other on the
hind legs and then sit down. They
are on a cement ﬂoor but where they
sleep is lots of bedding, and where
I feed a
mixture of cull beans, mangles and
oat chop but have no milk for them.
They seem to have ﬂesh enough but
the bones don't seem to develop
right—Readers, Filson, Michigan.

OUR pigs have rickets; better get
them off the cement as soon as
possible. Then get tankage and

with each 100 lbs. add 15 lbs. of
steaming bone meal; give these hogs
1,5 lb. per day with other grains.
Maybe it would be best to mix 25
lbs. of tankage and bone meal with
100 lbs. each of middlings and
ground oats and then give each pig
about 2 or 3 lbs. of this mixture
twice each day for a few days. Then
you can feed a little lighter of the
mixture. Milk would be very good
it you had it.

TOO MUCH COOKED FOOD
Would you please tell me what
ails our police puppies? They are

 

Jive months old have about ﬁnned

several little apple and peach trees
by chewing them. They also will
eat soft coal and charcoal from the
ashes we throw out. I have given
then worm medicine but have never
seen any results. The hair on one is
very rough and it some to want to
turn toWard her head. I feed them
cooked beans. boiled -rice, johnnie
cake. or mush. and some potatoes
and other scraps when I have them.

Have had meat for them until lately. ,

I also feed lots of milk—Mrs. G. 1-1.,
Stockbridge, Michigan,

00 much cooked foods for them;
why not try them on dog buis—
cuit for a while or get raw meat

for them? They should have raw
meat. Give them some lime water
in milk.‘ Get your druggist to make
up a Quart and give each .dog a tea-
spoonful three times each day in a
little fresh milk.

. ANOTHER EGG RECORD *
EAR Editor:——I have 224 S. C.
White Leghorn pullets, Barren
strain, hatched April 1, 1926.
Started to lay July 26_ and laid 17
eggs in July, 837 in August. In
September up to and including the
26th t ey laid 2,400 eggs or 3,254
eggs 1 all since they started to lay.
The pullets are only ﬁve months and
twenty-six days old. I would ‘be
interested to know of a better record
for pullets of above age. For the
past ﬁfteen days they have averaged
over 100 eggs per day—M. R. Ferg-
uson, Cass County. ’

M. S. 0. TO EXPERIMENT ON
CORNLESS POULTRY RATION
r‘l‘lHE ﬁght against the European

Corn Borer is not just in the
front line trenches, it extends
away back down the line. Now the
Poultry Husbandry .Department of
the Michigan State College is mak-
ing plans to carry on extensive ex—
periments during this winter to de—
termine substitutes for corn in the
poultry ration, if there are any.
The experiments will be placed in
charge of a graduate student. He
will be given a ﬂock of hens to feed
and the eggs produced by these birds
will be placed in incubators to study
the effect of various feeds upon the
hatchability of the eggs. In this re-
spect the project will “kill two birds
with one stone.” _
Prof. C. G. Card, head of the de—

partment, recently outlined this pro-

gram to members of the Michigan
Poultry Improvement Association
Who had suggested the College give
some consideration to the relation—
ship of poultry feeds to the hatcha—

"bility; of eggs produced on different.

rations.

In the experiment hens of the»
same parentage, breeding, age and-

vigor will be used. Prof. Card pro‘
poses to divide the ﬂock into pens.
feeding one pen on a ration in which
corn will be the basic element, while
the other pens will receive limited.
quantities of corn or none. As fares-
possible the eggs will'be taken 'di-
rectly from the laying houses to the
incubators where the hatchabllity
will be checked.

Accurate records will bevkept on

the cost of producing eggs by ea‘ch
ration. At the‘completion of the-
experlment Prof. Card hopes toha've
data by which other grains can {be
compared as substitutes for cor-h.
The College proposes to start ﬁlling
its incubators in December and Will
operate them through the winter Zas
well as the spring months. "
EGG PRODUCTION IN CONTEST
SHOWS GAIN " i.
ENS in the fourth international
egg laying contest at the Mich-
igan State College have. been
far more eﬂicient than birds in any
of the three previous co'nteSts, ac-
cording to the records to date. They
have produced over 20,000 eggs more
than a year ago, 33,000 more than
two years ago, and 34,000 more than
three years ago. These production
differences forecast record—breaking
averages for the hens in the 1926
contest. The birds probably Will
ﬁnish with 20 to 30-egg higher av—
erages than in the three previous
contests.

 

Did you know that we have Noah‘to

Washtenaw Club Boy State Champion

COW which he purchased ﬁve
years ago as a. calf started
Francis E. Farrell, a 19—year—

old boy living near Dexter, on the
road to fame. Because of his out—
standing achievements as a member
of a. dairy calf club in Wastenaw
county, Francis was declared by the
Michigan State College of Agricult-
ure the state’s chmapion boy in dairy
calf club work this year and the win—
ner of the Blue Valley Creamery In<
stitute’s free to the 1926 National
Dairy Exposition at Detroit.

That Francis has earned the great-
est honor which can come to a farm
boy or girl in Michigan is shown by
the enviable record he has made dur—
ing the past year as a member of
the Webster Dairy Calf Club, which
was started under his leadership two
years ago. By keeping a careful
record of all milk and butterfat pro-
duced and sold during the past ﬁve
years this cow has been’in milk and
the sale of a part of his cow’s prog»
eny, he was provided with an income
over feed cost of $621 after deduct-
ing her original price. Francis is
also an experincd showman and ﬁt-
ter. Two daughters of his cow both
placed second in the club classes at
the Washtenaw County Fair this
year. A son of this cow also made

    
       
       
 
      
       
       
     
        
 
   
   

a good show record during the past
season by placing ﬁfth in a strong'
open class of fourteen bull calves at
this sane fair and second in the club-
class gt the Michigan State Fair.
The proper care and feeding of
the calf is the most essential in the
development of a. monewmaking
dairy cow, Francis declares. Unless
they are fed well to make them
grow rapidly and unless they are of

good type and breeding, dairy cows

cannot be expected to produce milk
economically. Francis feeds his
calves three times a day in order to
make them grow well. A grain ra—
tion cf 8 pounds of ground oats and
ground corn, equal parts, with two
pounds of oil meal, togethe: with all.

day has given li‘ianvis splendid re—
sults. He also provides them with
liberal quantities of fresh water. In
order to insure the development of
a strong digestive system in his
calves, he does not permit his young
animals to go on pasture until they
are a year old for the reason that
they are likely to scour while on
grass and individual care cannot be
given them-when not in paddocks
around the barn where they are read-
ily accessible.

FARM NEWS AND

VIEWS
(Continued from page 8)

contends that farmers should plan to
save more of their crops. Particu-
larly he mentions that often there is
considerable growth left on some
pasture land and meadows, which,
if out and made into hay would turn—
ish some feed; when if left on the
“ﬁelds it is wasted. Seems to think
this loss is serious. He is wrong.
the trouble is, we don’t leave enough
growth on our meadows and past-
ured land during the winter. The
more growth the better. Often it is
false economy to cut this late
growth. It generally makes poor
hay, and it has been proven this late
pasture is not as valuable as pasture
early in the season. This growth,
when left on the ﬁeld causes the
pasture . to be earlier and more
abundant. .

A pasture ﬁeld which goes into the
winter with no growth whatever on
it, will make a poor pasture the
next year.

One of our neighbors has a barn
yard all under cover. It contains a
place for '20 acres of straw, water
tanks, manure piles, etc., and what
a blessing it is during such a rainy
time. During the winter his cows
can have a place in which to eXercise
and are not exposed to the wintery
weather. ; ~

Such a covered yard would cost
considerable to build. but I believe
it would be worth all it cost and
then some, and, if satisfaction is
worth anything, it would pay for it-
self in about a week right now.

MOULTING is the 05 season for eggs. Even with the
best of care, laying stops, egg organs are inactive», $11
nourishment goes to feather growing. That's ridhl‘al.
But after the moult, it's diﬂerent. Now's the time
to tone up those dormant egg organs-—start the feed
the egg way.
That's just what Dr. Hess Poultry Panaanceza does. ‘
Add it to the ration, one pound of Pan-arcc—a to I
every 50 pounds of mash. Then look for these signs: ,
See the combs and wattles begin to turn red. '
See them begin to hop around—the claws begin to '
dig in. .
Listen for the song, scratch and cackle. ,
-—Then eggs!
It's the nerve tonics that cause the good feeling. It's
the iron that makes the red combs. ?
Pan-a-ce—a contains other elements. For instance,
it supplies important minerals, calcium carbonate and
calcium phosphate, so essential to a laying hen.
Pan-a—ce-a develops pullets and puts them in the
pink of condition for regular fall and winter laying.

The cost is only a triﬂe

The price of just one egg pays for all the Pan-a-ce-a a hen will.
need for six months. But under our make-good selling plan.
it costs you absolutely nothing if you do not ﬁnd it proﬁtable.
You have only to take the empty container back to the dealer
and he will refund your money or cancel the charge. We

{its recent announcement of a

4'5 ' per cent on the basis of pre-war
”j prices for the last of September, the

 

gh‘l‘ower farm prices of practiCally all
farm crops from August 15 to Sep-
. .tember 15 were offset by increases in

ducts. Farmers who stick to meat
animals, dairy and poultry products
usually have no regrets after follow-

N w ,Wheat Market
Getting prices for the new wheat
crop placed on a permanently higher
level has been a difﬁcult task for the
bulls on' the Chicago Board of Trade
ever since farmers started to sell,
and after fair upturns take place,
placing prices about where they
stood at this time last year, they are
pretty sure to go lower on active
selling by the speculators. Turning
backward about two years, it is re-
called that at that period wheat for
December delivery was selling
around $1.52, which was called a
very good price, while a year ago it
sold for $1.43. Of course, the good
increase in the crop over last year is
a bearish factor in making quota-
tions, and lack of ocean tonnage and
prohibitory rates of freight stand in
the way of exports of breadstufts
from the United States and Canada.
There is a fair domestic consumption
of wheat going on, but stocks have
accumulated until the visible supply
in this country is up to 74,834,000
bushels, comparing with 49,878,000
bushels a year ago. Exports of wheat
and ﬂour from this country from
July 1 to October 9 aggregate 96,-
340,000 bushels as given by the de-
partment of commerce. This is
nearly one—half of the estimated ex-
portatable surplus.
Farmers Selling Old Corn
May corn sold in the Chicago mar-
ket recently at the lowest price of
the season, but was still higher
than a year ago, but a little more
than two years ago December corn
was selling at $1.14. Despite the

i the farmers have much old corn on
hand, and they have marketed it so
freely that the visible supply i'l the
United States a short time ago ag-
gregated 17,074,000 bushels, com-
paring with only 3,897,000 bushels
a year earlier. Rye prices are as
much as 18 cents higher than a year

, ago, owing to the short crop, and
cats are several cents higher than at

" that time, with much damaged wet
oats, and No. 2 white oats selling at
a good premium.

Watch the Pigs

The warnings issued by the feder-
al government to farmers to beware
of hog cholera were timely, for many
outbreaks had been reported in vari-
ous quarters, and it was important
to be on the watch constantly. This
is the season of the year when hog

~cholera is especialy prevalent, and
recent outbreaks were chieﬂy in the
central west. Shortly before the fed—
eral warning President Brown of the
Chicago Live Stock Exchange sent
out a report in which he stated that
it looked as though the hog crop
would be cut 10 to 15 per- cent be-
cause of the failure to vaccinate, al—
though it costs on the farm only
about 50 cents for each pig. Vacci-
nation when the pigs are shipped
from the terminal market costs
'9 around $1 and is compulsory. Cheap
‘ corn and high-priced hogs have furn-
ished the farmers good proﬁts, and
every precaution should be used to
‘- keep the pigs healthy. Most of the
big packing sows have been market-
, ed, and in all probability young hogs
~ will continue to be held longer than
formerly, the greatest farm proﬁts
,roming from hogs. The hog short-
7‘age means high prices, and despite
high prices the consumption of fresh
and cured hog products is very large

dull on the closing day of last week
but previous to that it was fairly
steady. Weather is having a lot ”to

points have ran much ahead of last
year. One result of the year’s ex—
perience is seen in the demand fer
better grades of stockers and feeders
to ship to feeding districts. For the
year to late date the combined re-
ceipts of cattle in seven western
packing points amount to 8,792,000
head, comparing with 8,473,000 a
year ago. Recent sales were made
in the Chicago market of beef steers
at $7.75 to $8.75 for common light
weights up to $11.50 to $12.50 for
the better class of yearlings, the best
long—fed\heavy cattle going for $11
to $12, and the bulk of the steers at
$9.50 to $11.50. A year ago steers
sold at $17 to $16 and 15 years ago
at $4.40 to $9.15. For stockers and
feeders country buyers are paying
$5 to $8, mainly $6.50 to $" 75. with
stock and feeder cows and heifers
at $4.50 to $6.25. "Active buying a
short time ago of this class of thin
cattle put them up 35 to 40 cents.

High Prices For Hogs

Prices ﬂuctuate a good deal, es-
pecially for the less desirable lots,
but the Chicago market continues
far higher than in most former years,
due to the great shortage in all. hog
districts, the late top being $14 for
heavy packing lots and sales as low
as $9.75 for poor hogs. A year ago
hogs were selling at $9.10 to $11.85,

pretty severe to cause any change in
prices, others hold the opposite
opinion.

The crop report for the state,
dated Oct. 12', gives an estimate of
82,000 bushels produced this year
compared with 90,000 last year. On
October lst it was believed that
about 36 per ecnt of Michigan’s 1920
crop had left the hands of the
farmer.

CORN

In spite of the many reports that
there will be lots of soft corn ‘this
fall there seems to be little demand
developing for the good quality corn.
Early frost got some corn but most
of it reached maturity we are in-
formed. Silo ﬁlling has been de—
layed very much this fall because of
rains. Michigan’s 1926 crop is esti—
mated at 51,868,000 bushels, or
about 14,000,000 less than one year
ago.

OATS
Oats were damaged somewhat by
rain this year, which left them dis-
colored, also they are light in weight.
. The yield averaged 33 bushels to the
acre, and the total 1926 crop for
this state is estimated by the ofﬁcials
as 56,001,000 ‘bushels. Demand is
fair with prices ﬁrm.

M. 8. C. Hoe Exhibit

Several exhibits were staged in the
Coliseum with the Michigan State
College taking up one corner and the
U. S. Department of Agriculture an-
other. The M. S. C. gave consider-
able space to a most instructive ex-
hibit relative to the value of. alfalfa
in connection with dairying. The
work of the European corn borer
was shown. and the agricultural en-
gineering department of the college
had minature models of the lime
spreader attachment and the marl
excavator they designed.

Boys' and Girls’ Club Work was
the subject of the exhibit by the de-
partment of agriculture and life—
sized models were used. “Acres of
Diamonds found in Club Work" was
the title of the display.

Twice daily 11 three-act rural
drama, "Joe Guess." was staged by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
in another corner of the Coliseum.
It was a lecture on good dairying in
play form and left in the minds of
the audience th loowlfekoetaoinao
the audience the follov‘vlng facts: 1.
Raise all the feed you can; 2. Buy
the milk making material that your
3. Keep records of
feed used and milk produced; 4.
Feed each cow according to produc-
tion; 6. Let the records tell you
which cows to keep.

Cattle demonstration by national
experts were held in this corner be-
tween shows, with the champion cat-
tle of the different breeds being used
in the demonstrations.

Associations Meet

Annual meetings of the various
national associations were held al-
most daily during the show, the H01-
stein-Friesian breeders getting to-
gether Wednesday. October 6th, the
Jersey breeders Thursday, Ayrshire
breeders Monday, and Guernsey men
Tuesday. The American Dairy
Science Association began its meet—
ing on Friday continuing it over into
the following day. They held a ban-
quot Friday evening.

County agricultural agents from
all over the country met on Friday,
and that evening they were banquet-
ed at the Dearborn Countr yClub.

The national Holstein sale was
held on Friday, and the grade cat-
tle of the many breeds Were sold
later. Grades sold from $80.00 to
$200.00 and most of them were
bought by farmers in this state.

The National Dairy Exposition for
1926 has passed on but the know-
ledge gained from it will live with
us forever.

EGG YIELD EUAHANIEH]
ll] DOUBLE IN A WEEK

Many things have been advertised to
make hens lay, but W. B. Mack, the
widely known poultry advisor, is the ﬁrst
to ever offer a premium for hens that
won't lay satisfactorily after using his
simple system.

Mr. Mack, whose advice has been fol-
lowed successfully by thousands, recent-
ly made the following statement: “I be-
lieve that any poultry raiser can double
or triple his egg yield within one week
by' following my simple system and add-
ing Certain elements to the feed or water.
In fact I am so sure of it you can tell the
public I will send full instructions and a
package of ingredients, usually sufﬁcient
to get at least 600 eggs, to anyone who
will write me."

Poultry raisers who want many times
more eggs need not send any money but
merely name and address to Dept. 829,
the Mack Company, 206 New England
budding, Kansas City, Mo. Full instruc-
tions and package of ingredients will be
sent. by return collect on deliyery mail
for only $1 and postage. If at the end of
o e week you are not getting at least
t :He as many eggs, or if not satisﬁed
for any reason, Mr. Mack will not only
return the purchase price on request, but,
will also pay you an extra quarter for
your trouble. Mr. Mack is absolutely rel-
proved by,h
offer to actually pay a premium to anyh-
one who is not more than- baﬂsded’.’ .

The Imported Belgian

MELOTTE

Farm wives like this clean, sanitary, easy-to-wash
Melotte Bowl. Its snowy-white porcelain-lined
bowlchamber is so easy to clean and always looks
so nice and clean. No hard, mean corners. No
tinware around the bowl to scour. You can clean
the Melotte in half the time other separators require.
You will actually like to wash the Melotte.

' Another thing! This sanitary, easy-to-clean Melotte
_ Bowl is SeIﬁBaIancing’. It automatically self-
balances itself all the time. Neither wear nor usage

can ever throw it out of balance. In 30 years NO
Melotte Bowl has ever had to be re-balanced.
That’s why the Melotte skims as clean after 5, 10
and even 30 years as when new. You'll actually
be amazed at the amount of cream this wonderful
separator will get from your milk, every day, year
in and year out.
