Manna—Continued wet weather has
been bad for corn fodder. Thobe who
could get their silos ﬁlled fared better.
Some potatoes were also lost by rotting
where ﬁelds were not well drained. Gen-

All 111 (or Short Term and Coed Behavior Won Paroles At End of One Day

UMMONS. You are hereby sent-
enced to serve one day in the
_ Michigan State Prison at Jack-
8011 on Tuesday, November 9,1926,
by order of Warden Harry H. Jack-
.son and The Michigan Farm Bureau
Supply Service of Lansing, Mich.
Failure to comply with this order
forthwith will result in dire conse-
quences.”

It was an innocent looking _ en-
velop, but upon opening it the above
met my eye, leaving me completely
speechless. What had I done? Per-
haps my careless remarks that the
old iiivver was capable of doing
"forty miles per” had reached the
ears of the law and I was labeled
as a speeder, a reckless driver pos-
sibly.» Or it might have been that
there was someOne watching after
all when I picked up those few nuts
that had fallen along the roadside,
just outside of the farmer’s fence. I
had looked very carefully before tak—
ing the chance but—well there
might'have been someone near in
spite of all my precaution. My whole
past life was reviewed in my mind.
I remembered once a few years ago
I sort of talked back to an ofﬁcer. I
even thought of the couple of times
when a boy I went swimming down

'in the creek in my “birthday
clothes." In fact, I had just about
arrived at the conclusion that I was
a real hardened criminal, when it
occurred to me to question why the
Supply Service of the Farm Bureau
should have a hand in this prison
sentence. 'Surely they had nothing
against me, that is I didn’t think
they had, not as far as I could re-
member, and although the sentence
was only for a day, I wasn’t so sure
that they would ever let me out once
I was behind the bars.

Just then I noticed a letter that
had accompanied this summons and,
with shaking hands, I opened it. Aft-
er reading only a few words my fears

vanished and in my imagination I.

saw my clothes change back from
stripes to civilian garb. It was an
invitation to spend the day at the
Prison, along with the managers of
the ’ co—operative associations of
Michigan, who were to be temporary
guests of 'Warden Jackson.

Orders were to report to the main
prison at 10 o’clock, and one half
hour later we were to visit the new
'prison “under heavily armed
guards.” Over two hundred mana-
gers, county agents and farmers
were on the job, willing to take the
chance of going into prison and get-

ting out again without difﬁculty.

At the new prison we went
through the power plant under con-
struction, also through the dyeing

. plant, and inspected the new cell

blocks now going up. They esti—
mate that the new prison when com-
pleted will have cost $7,000,000,
the work being done by the prison-
ers, while with free labor it would
cost at least $2,000,000 more.
Around the prison is a 34-foot wall
of concrete with guard houses at
regular intervals.

Back to the main prison at noon
we were taken through many door-
ways, with iron gates clanging shut
after us, to the dining room where
-we were served a bountiful luncheon.

12.138er10 eooid-zt suosud 91m,
played as we dined and following
the luncheon Warden Jackson wel-
comed us ofﬁcially. Next he intro-
duced Wm. H. Porter, chairman of
the State Prison Board, who ex-
plained that they tried to establish
industries that would not compete
with private industries of the state,
and where they do prices are
held at a level that do not interfere
with the interests of free labor. Last
year the income from the three state
prisons was $394,000, he said.
Following the luncheon a tour of
inspection was made through the
monument department, the textile
plant, the stamp department where

made, cannery, cotton factory, ware-
house and twine department, and
the binder twine mill. Warden
Jackson explained how sisal hemp
from Mexico and Manila hemp from
the Philippines were combined to
make high grade twine.

The cell blocks, known as “Riley's

Flats” after Assistant Warden Riley,
were next visited, and from there we
went to the chapel, attendance be-
ing “compulsory” according to the
“summons.”
‘ The prison orchestra again enter-
tained us for a brief time, after
which Warden Jackson talked. He
introduced Clark L. Brody of the
Michigan State Farm Bureau who
was scheduled to do some “canon-
ading,” but declared he had looked
the word up in the dictionary and
could not qualify for such a term.
Stanley F. Wellman, in charge of
sales for the prison twine depart—
ment, then gave a humorous talk on
“How to Unload the Five and Eight
Pound Ball.” Following this there
was further entertainment by the
orchestra and vaudeville artists.

At the end of the program A. L.
Thomas, manager of the Michigan
State Farm Bureau Supply Service,
recommended that the group be pa-
roled because of good behavior, so
we all worked our way outward,
thanking our lucky stars as we pass—
ed through each doorway and heard
the gate close behind us.

Freedom gained once more I re—
solved to never pick up any more
nuts along the roadside, or speak
hastily or heatedly to a policeman, or
try to make anyone believe that the
ﬂivver can Win in a race with even
a snail. Warden Jackson treated
us wonderfully but—I have no de—
sire to arrange for a long lease of
room and board in his hotel.

GREAT PLANS MADE FOR FRUIT
MEN’S CONVENTION

pends on fruit for a large part
of his living and income should

December 3. In conjunction with
this meeting will be held the Michi-

his spuds. So does Louis Schroep—

elp of St. Clair. At least, so
thought William Esslinger of the
State Department of Agriculture
when he. judged the large potato
grading interpretation exhibit at the
Thumb District Potato Show at May-
ville, Wednesday, November 10, and
gave these two growers a perfect
score in a tie for ﬁrst place in this
class.

It was the largest potato grading
exhibit put on at any of the Michigan
potato shows this “fall, 27 farmers
competing. Tie scores seemed to be
the rule, Stanley Stokes, of Kingston,
and Carl C. Smith, of Calling, knot-

Harry Moore, Chief of ‘Potato
Work at the Michigan State College,
judged the 147 entries made by 92
Thumb farmers and stated that the
show was fully 100 per cent better
than the initial effort of a year ago.

Keenest competition was brought
out in the class for Russet Rurals,
where the class of 33 entries was
topped by the exhibit of A. C. Bredow
of Bad Axe. The potatoes of M. C.
Mount, Mayville, and John Valentine,
Fosteria, pressed Bredbw’s exhibit
closely.

Gaylord Growers Win

The certiﬁed seed class was thrown
open to the entire state and A. C.
Bredow, of Bad Axe, and Morris
Mount, of Mayville, were the only
Thumb District growers to place.
Gaylord growers took the honors
back north with them when Walter
Allis and Ernest Pettifor placed ﬁrst
and second, ‘ respectively.

A. C. Bredow took more of the '
money to Huron county and added
to his reputation as a potato grower
when his single entry was designated
the best potato in the show. His
youngsters, Elsie and Cecil, placed
ﬁrst and second in the class for boys’
and girls’ clubs and high school stud-
ants.

Other winners‘ were Lloyd Mc-
, on Russet Bur-
,Oaro, on ‘

Irish Cobblers, and Jesse Ladd, May-
ville, on Early Ohios.

The afternoon programs and even-
ing banquet were well attended, de- ,‘
spite unseasonably cold weather, and"
farmers from all over the Thumb?
listened to talks on potato .culture by
C. M. McCrary and H. C. Moore,
Michigan State College potato spec-
ialists, potato grading by William
Esslinger of the State Department of
Agriculture, and the value of shows
and exhibits by C. V. Ballard, as—
sistant state county agent leader.

A potato storage and disease con-
trol exhibit was put on by the Mich-

sow swnnzr cmvna IN seams

Would it be all right to sow sweet
clover in the fall and how should the
ground be ﬁtted? Some say to sow
seed ﬁrst’ then plow as the seed
should be planted deep—A. ‘ 3.,
Brant, Michigan.) ,‘ .

UCH better results come from
planting sweet clover in early
spring to shallow depth on' it

ﬁrmly prepared seed bed. Some
years ago, before scariiied sweet
clover seed was available and par-
ticularly when unhulled seed was
used, the practice of planting in the
fall‘ was quite general in order to
permit winter action to soften the
hard seed coats of sweet clover seed.

Now that hulled and scariﬁed
white blossom sweet clover seed is
available, it is advisable to ﬁt the
ground by fall or early spring plow-
ing followed by ' rolling or cultivat-
ing and planting from 12 to 15
pounds per acre of seed at a depth
of one-half to three—fourths of an
inch, rolling with roller or culti-
packer after planting to be sure that
seed bed is very ﬁrm.

To plow seed under results in most
of it failing to ever produce a plant.

Culture for inoculation may be se—
cured from the Department of Bac-
teriology. The price is twenty-ﬁve
cents per bottle and each bottle con—
taius suﬂicient material to inoculate
a bushel of seed. Directions for ap—
plication accompany the material.—7

M. S. C.

 

OWNERSHIP OF STREAM

If .I own a farm which a river is
the line am I paying taxes on my
share of the river and how much
land does the government own from
the center? If I have a creek run-
ning through my farm can I forbid
anyone trespassing 0n the ground?
Is it private, or public? It runs
from a lake to the river. Can I
stop anyone from spearing ﬁsh in it
in the spring or do I own the creek?
Itwas dredged a few years ago.—

V. he found concerning the following:

A dealer in real estate said to a
farmer in this county, that he had
spent two years in Illinois and in his
business travels rarely saw an open
roadside ditch. The occasion for
this remark was an open roadside
ditch about live feet deep in front
of the farm home where he was call-
ing. Not far from Almont, as read
in the papers, a party in an automo—
bile returning home for an extra
wrap, were overturned in the ditch
as they were entering the yard and
the “ driver of the automobile was
killed. This happening was not
far ’frOm my home.

There are many Illinois people
around here. Let one speak for
them all. A market gardener less
than'two miles away, as reported to
me by messenger, said about ditches,
“The few open roadside ditches you
ﬁnd there are old. All made at the
present time are covered. " Asked
which state he liked better, Michigan
or Illi,nois he replied” Illinois. But
one canndt buy farm land there; it
is too expensive; nor rent, as one
must prove their ability to farm
properly and give bonds to cover any
possible default.”

Near Mount Clemens lives a fam~
ily having relatives in Illinois who
visit them occasionally. The Illinois
man owns two large farms and is
credited with having said that,
“When Michigan farmers get their
roadside ditches covered, Michigan
farm lands will. then be worth two
and three hundred dollars an acre,
as Illinois land is now. " ~
' Near Mt. Clemens is a section of
covered roadside ditch. Not only
was it in the paper but friends of
mine passed by when it was in the
making; but it is the‘ only one I
know of in the Thumb.

One farmer from Illinois said to
me that where he came away from
there were both the open and cover-
ed roadside ditch but that he was for
the covered time.

There are those who believe that
we of Michigan might have covered

better than usual and that’s ' no
“pipe” either. If we accomplish a
certain piece of creation of any de-

that‘the M. B. F. has a mind of its

its preparedness on its knowledge 'of
the facts of affairs.

Second, I rejoice in and admire
the non-sectarian sermons as preach-

Because he has no fear of telling
what I consider the truth, hit or miss
as the case may be. Again I enjoy
reading the story the M. B. F. is
publishing because I know somewhat
of such affairs. I imagine the pic-
ture is true to conditions.

The dry goods box orator told his
audience that “Facts were stubborn
things” then remarked one of his
hearers, "My wife is a fact”, and so
I might continue to the ﬁnish of the

just a tree—nothing more. To others
more, yes much more. So to some
a newspaper is just a newspaper, to
others a bond—a tie.

Fence Posts
QUESTION often asked, and one
that I can not answer, is the
practicability of cement or steel
fence posts. We have never had eith-.
or kind on our farm. We have used
cedar, and white oak—more oak
than any other as we have a small
supply of white oak timber. This is
not satisfactory in the least, and
' cedar is n o t
much better. In
building a. new
fence it pays to
set a wood post
with stones. We
have 300: rods of
so called high
g r a d e fence,
erected s e v e 11
years ago, and at
that time help
was so v e r y
scarce we could-
n’t dig a large
hole for e a c h
post and f i l 1
around with stone. «More than half
of these posts are rotted off, and
they were good sized second growth
white oak, too. Even the braces, the
best we could obtain,-are all rotted

 

1.. w. means

out. It is really a serious matter if

a farmer has to rebuild his fences
every seven years. Not/only the
posts are nearly all worthless at this
time but the wire itself is often very
rusty. I believe it would pay to
treat wood posts with creosote, and
we plan to treat some this next
spring. It is somewhat of a task to
get things arranged and all set for
treating posts, and I have often
wondered why our fence and post
dealers do not put in a tank and
heater .to treat them with, and
charge a reasonable amount extra
for the treated post. I believe every
farmer would be willing to pay con—
siderable more for a. creasoted post,
and the cost would not be expensive
if done with a suitable outﬁt. All the
electric and telephone companies are
creosoting their poles, and the rail—
roads use it on all ties. .This fact
alone is good evidence that it makes
the timber more resisting to decay.
was much
said about cement fence posts, but
there were never very many used in
this vicinity. How interesting it
would be if some of our readers, who
have used cement posts, would write
and tell of them. If they have prov-
en a success, tell how large they are,
and how they were made. We are
to construct forty rods of line fence
in the s-pring,‘ and shall use steel
posts for this. ' I believe there are
steel posts on the market now that
may prove practical, and am willing
to give them a trial.

It has been mentioned ingthese
columns before, but I Can not help
speaking of it again—why not all
fence manufacturers be compelled to‘
place a. tag on each roll of fence,
stating. the exact amount of gal-
vanizing each pound of wire carries,
and of what the galvanizing is com-
posed. If it would cost more to put
on a heavier coating of good galvan—
izing, charge more for the fence.
Then let the farmer buy his fence
with some degree of certainity as to
what he is getting instead of the
blind way he does now. All we can
go by now, is the size of the wire.
This doesn’t seem to be the ideal
way of buying fence. Why not go
to the jewelry store for silver knives
and forks, and judge the quality by
simply looking at them and compar-
ing size? 'No, you would look for
the manufacturer’s stamp, telling
how many pennyweight of silver the

‘plating consisted of, and if you want-e

ed a high grade, you would expect

to pay more for it than a cheapj
It costs just as
much to erect a good fence as a poor .

grade would cost.

A Historical Event

Presenbday events are so numer-
ous and come 80 fast, they often pass
unnoticed, and yet some of them are

so important they are making his-'

tory. The event-referred to here, is
the completion on October 29, of a
concrete highway between Detroit
and Chicago. In the days of horse
drawn vehicles this road was always
called “The Chicago Pike”‘ but with
the advent of the automobile it is
It is the most direct
route between Detroit and Chicago
and shorter than any other by nearly
ﬁfty miles. The stretch of about
twenty-ﬁve miles through Hillsdale
county was the last to be paved, be-
cause this has, for some time, been
the best gravel road between the two,
cities, and naturally would be the
last to be torn up and cemented.
Owing to it’s many hills and curves
it was a difﬁcult road to, pave. The
twenty-ﬁve miles required something
like four thousand car loads of ma-
terial and was built my the State
HighWay Department using about
300 citizens of the Jackson Peniten—
tiary as part of the labor. A little
village, known as the Prison Camp,
was made near the village of Jones—
ville, and quite a complete village
it was—electric lighted, city water,
and everything a modern camp would
contain. Still there were a. few of
its inhabitants who preferred other
habitations and made vain attempts
to go in search for them. But‘the
old Chicago Pike, Michigan's ﬁrst
main traveled road, surely does look
nice in it’s new dress, although it
does not conform to the ladies' idea
of modern dress either,‘ for fashion
seems to dictate straight lines, and
the dress of the old Pike is anything
but straight, being almost a system
of curves. _

Many wonder at this, until the
facts in the case are known, then
[they realize, and understand its
curves, and also the way things are
done by the government of today,
and were done by the government of
1825‘. How hundreds‘ of dollars
were as thousands are now, and how
thousands then, would be millions to,
play with today. But the story of
the beloved old Pike is too long for
this article and unless something un—
forseen comes to ﬁll this space in
the next issue, the story of Michi-
gan’s ﬁrst cross state road will be
given. No, Broadscope Farm is not
on this road, we are four miles south
of it, and still we can see what might
be called some of it’s trafﬁc, for the
Ford Airplane Service between De-
troit and Chicago follows the old
Pike pretty close, and every day we
can see these planes, timed as reg-
ular as train schedules, ﬂying either
east or west. Of course they do not
follow all the curves, but the general
line of the Pike seems to be their
pth. Occasionally one gets as far
south as our place, but quite seldom.

I A list of some of the more import-

? ant troubles and a description of the
symptoms and treatment might not

.be amiss. It may help some of our
readers to recognize their raspberry

f troubles; thus enabling them to take
‘. the “stitch in time.”

ANTHRACNOBE: This is a very

, troublesome "disease of the black

raspberry but is seldom serious with
the red raspberry. Purp spots
occur on the leaves and on th canes.
The spots on, the canes gr larger
and become grayish in col r with a
purple border. The spots then run
together giving the whole cane a'
blotchy, rough appearance. Often
cracks appear in the blotches, run-
ning lengthwise of the canes. The

whole plant 'is weakened /and unpro- -

ductive and many canes are killed.
TREATMENT: When setting out a.
, new patch do not leave the old stick
above ground. This old stick, which
is attached to the young plant, should
be either cut off and destroyed or
else covered with dirt and buried
while planting. Anthracnose can be
,controlled by spraying. M. S. C. re-
commends a schedule as follows.

1. ,When buds show green use
liquid lime-sulphur, 10 gallons in
100. 2. About one week before,
blossoming, use bordeaux 4-8-100.

ORANGE CRUST: This disease,
which affects blackcaps, causes the
plants to become stunted, and the
under sides of the leaves acquire a
bright orange color. TREATMENT:
Prevent the spread of the disease by

‘ digging out and destroying all rusty

plants. -

CANE-BLIGHT: This af fe-ets
both the reds and'the blacks. Canes
will suddenly wilt and ‘die, here and
there in the patch. Sometimes one
crvmore branches on a cane will be
wilted. Often a cane is affected on
one side only and becomes very
brittle and is easily snapped off.
TREATMENT: Cut out and burn

? .the old and diseased canes soon after

harvest and cut out dead canes again
in the spring.

CROWN GAIL: When this di-
sease is present knotty balls or warts
are found on the roots or on the
crown, and the plants are greatly
weakened. TREATMENT: Plant
only clean, disease-free plants and
dig up diseased plants when found

. . in the patch.

CANE-BOBER: This is an insect

* which injures both the blacks and

the reds. The old beetle makes two
girdles close together and about six
inches from the tip of a young shoot.
It then lays an egg in the cane be—
tween the girdles. The girdling

 

   

=~ <'q__ use

Gaunt? --- L .
mum ‘mnm'ﬁ'¢n3uu ' ”King‘s":

  

 

  

naturally causes the tip to wilt. The
borer, or grub, then hatches out,
bores downw’ard~a short distance in
the cane and stays there all winter.
The” next summer it continues its
burrow down the center of the cane
and kills the cane. By fall it reaches

the bottom of the cane and winters

in the ground. It then makes its
cocoon and is again transformed in-
to a beetle. TREATMENT: If any
of the young shoots show wilted tips
during the summer, these should be

. cut off below the girdle and destroy-

ed. After harVest the old canes
should be immediately cut out close
to the ground and burned.

RED SPIDER: In some parts of
the state the red raspberry growers
have beln greatly bothered by this
tiny louse-like insect which sucks the
juice from the under side of the
leaves and protects itself with a mass
of ﬁne silky webs. The insect causes
the leaves to turn yellow and greatly
reduces the crop. TREATMENT:
Dusting with ﬁne powdered sulphur
has been recommended for this pest.

GRAFTING

Please tell me how to make graft-
ing wax and also how to select the
graft. I have a pear tree twelve
years old and it bore fruit last year
for the ﬁrst time and the fruit was
small about the size of rplums and so
bitter that you could not eat them.
Could you tell me how to improve
it?—-J. B. B., LeRoy, Michigan.

GOOD formula for grafting wax
is 4 pounds rosins, 2 pounds of
beeswax, and a pound of tallow.

Cut the tallow and beeswax into
small pieces, pulverize the rosin and
melt the mixture together over a. ﬁre
or on the stove. As soon as it is all
melted pour the mixture into a pail

Select your cions while the trees

wood of the last year’s growth. The
cions must be dormant when you do
your grafting. They can be kept
dormant by burying them in the

If your pear tree is bearing un—

that you graft it to a better variety.
When you graft the tree do not cut
off all of the old branches the ﬁrst

FAIL TO BEAR

Can you please tell me what to
do for plum trees? As we have some
trees which are about twelve years
old and every spring they blossom
very full but never have any plums
on them.—-Mrs. A. C., Blanchard,
Michigan.

F your plum trees are all of one
variety they may need another

' variety near to act as a polenizer.
This can be done by planting another
variety nearby, or » by grafting a
branch of each tree to another vari-
ety. The trees may also need a little
feeding. Underfed trees often fail
to set fruit. Annual late fall applica-
tions of manure or early spring ap-
plications of nitrate of soda will take
care of the feeding problem. If ni-
trate is used it should be applied
under the Outer branches about two
or three weeks before blossom time,

using 3 or 4 pounds for each of the ‘

twelve year old trees.

Their Cooking Plant

:They. had no stove to cook or
warm by but they had a lovely big

emud, made by themselves. ‘ The hole
*in front was about three and a half
‘feet high and across it about six
inches below the top was an iron
,bar, called a crane, suspended, be-
ing embedded in the stones and mud
on the sides. On this crane was
"fastened three or four chains,‘which
“cached down to within one foot of
the ﬂoor. There were hooks on the
lower ends and to these were fast-
ened the kettles and teakettle when
cooking was in progress.

When they wished to do any bak-
ing a deep iron skillet or bake oven.
Which had three legs, four inches in
«length, an iron handle like one on a
*fryingpan, and an iron cover, was
‘3 used. The cover had a high up-
tanding iron ,ring in its center
rough which to put a hook when
trhad to be lifted on and off the
yen, when baking. It also had an
pstanding rim four inches high
around its outer edge, to keep the
:coals of the ﬁre from rolling oﬁ.

while the lid was also covered. If

ed and the coals were fresh the con-
tents were usually baked a golden
brown in about ﬁfteen minutes.

When Harriet was about six years
old her parents moved, with horses
and wagon, to Bunker Hill in Mich-
igan, crossing the‘ Detroit River on
an open ferry. Here they purchased
their ﬁrst cook stove which was a
great wonder not only to the children
but to their parents as well.

In those days the poor people had
no cows or pigs. They went without
milk, cream, and butter, while their'
meat and gravy were provided by the
wild game they killed. The woods

Snakes

Snakes were very thick at Bunker
Hill. One day a man was out chop—
ping in the underbrush and after a
while he kept hearing a rattlesnake
rattle. He looked all around but no
snake could he see. As it kept on
rattling he moved a few rods away
but still'the [snake rattled, and it
seemed to keep the same distance
from him as it had at ﬁrst. The
man thought it was very queer as a
rattlesnake never chases anyone and
it always strikes after giving its ﬁrst
rattle. Chancing to glance down to—
wards his knee the man was horri-
ﬁed to see part of the rattler’s body
in under a large patch on the side
and knee of his home-made bag
pants.

At another time Harriet and *her
brother John were hoeing corn in a
patch of woods a mile from home
when a large black racer took after
them and chased them to their house.
When it would get almost near
enough to them to strike, the chil-
dren would turn on it with their
hoes and frighten it back for a ways,
while they hurried on towards home.
When they reached there and rushed
in the door, the snake stopped at the
threshold and was killed by the chil-.
dren's mother. It was fully six feet
long.

A Marriage and Homesteading

When Harriet was 21 years old,
she married a young man of the
same age and nationality of herself,
named William McNeil. He was
born in Canada, but at this time
lived near Ionia. .

Late in the fall they were moved

- Once

homestead for about. a year and a
half and suffered. many hardships
while there. Their nearest~ town
was Saginaw which was thirty miles
away and the road was a mere path
through the tangled forest. As the
young couple had. no. money and
there was no way to earn a living
on the uncleared homestead Mr. Mc—
Neil went to work in a saw mill at
Saginaw. Leaving his bride alone.
in two weeks on Saturday
nights, he walked the thirty miles
home carrying on his back twenty-
ﬁve pounds of cornmeal, or whatever
was needed, and returning to his
work on Sunday.

Very lonely was the young bride,
her only companions the birds and
wild animals: There was no river
near where she could ﬁsh but she
set little homemade traps and caught
a few squirrels and rabbits to eke
out her scanty living. ,

During the day the bears and deer
roamed freely around her one room
log shanty and during the nights the
wolves made the silence hideous with
their howls. ”Sometimes the bears
and wolves would come to the shanty
and peer through the cracks. The
Indians also roamed through there
occasionally.

One night about eleven o'clock,

when Mrs. McNeil was alone there ‘

came a rap and a loud halloo at her
door,-which roused her up from a
sound sleep. When she asked who
it was and what they wanted they
replied, “We are a gang of road men.
We want our supper and a bed for
the night." When she told them she
was alone and could not keep them,
and advised them to go on to Mr.
Orvices, they said they would, but
would she ﬁrst give them a drink of
water.

house was ﬁlling fast, and they
climbed up into the loft. This loft
had a window hole in it. Raising

the board which covered it they
watched until morning came, and a
neighbor came in his boat and took
them ‘to higher land. They then
moved up the river about a mile in
a .lumberman’s shanty which was
built on a high embankment over?
looking the river. They bought 160
acres at this place for Which they
ran in debt $400

Here Mr. McNeil startedalumbering

born to them, four boys and three

called a cutover. That is, its best
timber had been cut and hauled off
years before, and the young timber
that was left had grown up into a
tangled forest. Wild animals in
droves run through the woods, while
the river was ﬁlled with lots of ﬁsh.

Lumbering

Mr. McNeil was very fond of lum—

all of the cooking for his large crews
of lumber jacks and sometimes their-
two boys, George and Orion done the
work. '

The lumber men or shanty boys
as they were sometimes called, Would
cut down trees all winter and haul
themito the high river banks, then
when the ﬂood came in the‘ spring
the men with canthooks and pevees
would start the logs at the bottom
of the long, jamway down the steep
banks. ' Instantly, the air would be
ﬁlled with a loud roar as thousands
of logs broke loose and went roll-
ing and tumbling down into the
swirling dirty yellow waters below.
The logs were then gathered together
and fastenedinto rafts with iron
dogs. ,Then with a wanagan, which.
is a cook house on a ﬂoating raft,
the men would ride the logs and take
them down the river to different
mills where they were sold. Most of
the logs that went into Pine River
were ﬂoated down into Saginaw, but
a few stopped in Midland.

TEXT: ' "I will oiler to thee sacriﬁces of
Thanksgiving.” Ps. 116: 17. »

E writer appeared on the scene

a few minutes after the wreck.

A mother, with her baby in her
arms, had been thrown into the wind-
shield and both had received severe
bruises and scratches. But that was
all and she had a will -to be thank-
ful that it was no worse. This
thankful mood is a distinguishing
characteristic of the folks that prac-
ticethe presence of God.

“I will offer to thee sacriﬁces of
thankSgiving.” But the whole psalm
is full of this soul compulsion. “I
will walk before Jehovah." “I will
pay my vows unto Jehovah. " This
mood is constantand conﬁdent in the.
psalmist’s mind. His soul is swell-
ing with emotions of gratitude to his
God. Some unusual experience has

" driven “him to say,“I will call upon

the name of the Lord as long is I
live.", What was it? It was some
experience in peril out of which he
had been delivered. “I was brought
low and he saved me." He says,
"The cords of death compassed me, ”
but leaves out the details to hurry
on to ,tell_“Jehovah has delivered my
soul'from death.” This not only re-
veals the fatherly character of God
as we understand it in Christ, but
that in that distant past there were
also such understanding souls.
Always, the way we understand
God makes a difference. Of course,
it does not change the character of
God, but it has everything to do with
our character and moods. Pity the'
man who loses his faith in a per-
sonal and present Heavenly Father
and‘r‘e‘sts all upon a mechanistic God.
He ‘can 'never be’thankful for loving
care'and ,daily deliverances, for every
day of his life and every mood and
action have been arbitrarily ﬁxed.
He 'talks‘ about free choices, and yet
he is not consistent for he holds that
his eyery act is the. result of certain
and mechanical stimuli
which are in him and around him.
This he calls God. How impersonal
and unethical! You see, we are not
to be 'too hard‘ on neighbor Jones if
he lowers the bars and turns his cows
into ‘our growing corn, for he just
could not help it. His actions were
determined by forces over which he
had no control. And when Mrs.
Jones throv‘vs on her shawl and runs
in to- tongue-lash her neighbor. you
must'reckon- her a child of a deter?
minist‘god and——'well, she just could
not do otherwise at the time. How
strange to pious souls! Let us leave
this doctrine ‘to our brainy friends
while we sun our souls in the True
Pr6sence who leads us not into
temptation and delivers us from evil.
The will to be thankful rests up-
on a God-minded mood. Our minds
must be God-focused. The heart
must be provoked to believe. This
is not easy in many circumstances in
life.-~ The other day a , neighbor
cursed God because of the kind of
weather we were having. He said
that he did not care anymore and he
wished everything ‘would rot. No,
you did not do that; but, really,
didn'tyou wonder why God was so
unkind'and so indifferent to the wel-'
farevof his children when the cyclone
destroyed your barn, or the hail shat-
tered your growing crops, or the
rains interfered with your farming
operations? Well, Jesus who had
the mind of God and trusted God, ’
becomes our wholesome
Whibe some of us see in nature the
crue ty of God, Jesus sees the evi-
dence of God’s care and love.- He-
sees the sun shining and the rain»
falling .upon theunjust as well as the -
just, and this. to him indicates that
our God is perfect and bathes all his.

said Jesus to Peter. . The Master had
been companioning with‘his disciples

' long enough for them to gather evi-

dences of his God-hood. They were
given adequate opportunity to know
of the mercies and super-qualities of
the Galilean which made his man-
hood distinctive and different from
all others. But will they’confess it?
The decision must be made ad so
the questiOn is asked. Clearly, the
ideas and conclusions of our minds
have a rational inﬂuence on our
mode of living. We CAN recognize
the goodness of God in nature, his-
tory, and revelation; but, WILL we?
Peter’s gift of faith came from
heaven and he willed to express it
and make it bear fruit. Just so,
thankful—mindedneSs comes from
God. It is a heavenly plant and
should come to fruitage. As there
is a will to faith, a will to peace, a
will to sobriety; so there is a will to
be thankful.

“In everything give thanks for this
is the will of God in Christ Jesus
to you-ward.” The apostle had found
in. Christ the hidden secret of how to
conform his will to the will of God.
It was a-pearl of so great a price that
he sacriﬁced all else and prayed with-
out ceasing that he might keep the
treasure. This gave him inner con-
trol. Here was a man who, long be-
fore Francis of Assisi, decided to fol-
low literally the counsels of Jesus
and take upon himself the inherit-
ance of poverty and the wounds of
his Lord. Ghandi, in our day has

'revived this devotion to a life of

chastity and simplicity. Paul taught
that “having food and raiment, we
shall be therewith content; for we
brought nothing into this world, for
neither can we carry anything out.”

Now, food and covering and all
physical blessings we are to give
daily thanks for. And, it is observ-
“I thank thee" spirit
most often has its source in pleasing
and satisfying surroundings. But
suppose this source drys up.tempor-
arily, what becomes of the stream of
thankfulness? Does it dry up too?
This is why the always thankful mind
has its source in communion with.

God. It is a stream of gratitude
that gushes constantly from ex-
haustless wells of water. This is

e

not to say that the average Christian
is always thankful. He is not. But
in the spirit of humility and prayer

, he can attain to the will to be thank-

ful and hold to it as a vital element

hung away for later use. Old Hickory

    
 

   

“Our meat cured with Old Hickory Smoked Salt

meat is not to be compared with it in any way.
From now on we’ll use the old smoke-house for
something else and have better meat, less trouble
and save time and labor and run no risk of ﬁre

THE CORN BORER AND THE 1927 CROP

AST week we had a letter from an Ingham
L county subscriber regarding the European
corn borer and the 1927 corn crop. He
wanted to know if corn should be planted in the
quarantined area this coming year.

There is little question but what the borer will
do more damage in 1927 than it did this year,
and the infested area will be larger, but there
is no reason why corn should be omitted from
However, it would
be considered good business to not plant a larger
acreage than one can clean up. Grow less corn
but grow it more carefully, is the advise of Prof.
R. H. Pettit, of the Michigan State College.

“The importance of scrupulously clean farming
and the destruction of briers, weeds, brush and
everything else that can harbor larvae, cannot be
over-emphasized." he declares. “If a farm can
be completely cleaned and then the ﬁelds fall
plowed so that nothing would remain to shelter
the larvae which comes up to the surface after
being plowed under, then a very great deal would
be accomplished and I am inclined to think that
the problem would be solved. However, it takes
time ' to' convince farmers of the necessity of
adopting such practices and it seems like a good
deal to hope that such treatment could be brought
about suddenly and all in one season. The farms
themselves must be brought into such a condi-
tion that a real effective clean-up can be accomp—
lished.

“Therefore, why would it not be good policy
to decide to grow corn, but to grow only so much
as could be effectively and scrupulously cleaned
up with our present facilities, until more ma-
chinery and perhaps even better machinery is
available."

EAT MICHIGAN APPLES

“While attending the Lake Forrest vs. M. S. 0.
football game at East Lansing we noticed that
the girls were selling western box apples. Many
remarked about it. An agricultural college that
permits this should have it brought to their
attention by more than just a mere farmer."—
Several Growers From Almont.

HIS communication came into our ofﬁce last
week, and we want to tell these folks that
we are pleased to call this to the attention

of the College, but we believe that the farmers
have themselves to blame more than_anyone else.

Our Almont friends have the wrong idea en-

tirely when they write that it should be brought
to the attention of the College by more than a
“mere farmer". Just who is a “mere farmer”?
Isn'the the man who raises the product to be
sold? In this case we think the “mere farmer"

.is the fruit grower of Michigan who produces

apples that will compare favorably with any
grown, we care not where, but that is as far as
he goes. He doesn’t put forth much of an effort
to get a good market for them, except in a few
places, and he fails completely to educate the
public to eat his apples. He lets the “more
farmer" from the West come in here through

advertisements in national publications and“ tell ,
' his pdhll’c what wonderful fruit is grown in the
his stark . intakes right from under

,- ‘« g; z; :, m dummy 9:

they desired.

The growers of Washington recently organized
under the name of Paciﬁc Northwest Boxed Ap-
ples,, Inc. .. and in the immediate future a ﬁve—
year advertising campaign for the nation’s apples
will be launched. Already. several western grow-
ers’ organizations are after this business and
this is just another competitor for ,Michigan
fruit growers to buck up against, not only in
other states but right here at their Own front
door. '

Forest rangers many times put out ﬂres that

threatens to do great damage by getting ahead "7

of the blaze and setting a ﬁre which. will burn

to meet the oncoming ﬁre and they keep under -'

control the one side of the set ﬁre. .When the
ﬁres meet there is nothing more to burn so they
ﬁnally die out. Fighting ﬁre with ﬁre they call
it. Michigan fruit growers are going to have to
ﬁght ﬁre with fire by spending money on adver—
tising to even hold their present market against
the propaganda of the western growers.

The fact that western box apples were sold at
this football game should cause Michigan fruit
growers to open their eyes. and if the “mere
farmers"
sistance from their agricultural college we feel
sure they will not have to wait long for .it.
Those in charge at the College do not feel it
their duty to try to force anything on the farmers
but if they ask that something be done along a
certain line that comes within their ﬁelds they
are ready to cooperate and lend their assistance
wherever needed.

This is the day of advertising. You may grow
the ﬁnest fruit in the world but your market
will be limited to a certain area unless you ad—
vertise and then the ﬁeld will be without
boundary.

Michigan growers, what are you going to do?

Hos CHOLERA SERUM snowman ,
HERE has been many serious out-breaks of

hog Cholera this year, not only in Michigan .

but many other states, which has caused a
heavy demand on the/government for serum.
This demand coming rather unexpected caused a
shortage of the serum and we have had many
inquiries as to why the government could not be
prepared for such emergencies.
a. general tendency to blame the laboratories.

Now let us see what the real situation is. All
producers of serum and viruses operate under
federal license and supervision, which is the cor—
rect policy and one that works for the protection
of the public. A serum is a perishable product,
itﬁl‘oses its power in a comparatively short time.

so the government has ruled that it is not to be ,

sold after it has attained a certain 839/ Because

of this a laboratory making serum will try to keep « ’

production down to consumption so it will not
suﬂer a centinuous loss. A period of eight weeks
is required to produce serum, so the supply can-
not be increased at once to meet a sudden emerg-
ency. .Until a few weeks ago the demand for
serum didnot justify the laboratories in produc-
ing large quantities, and they were unable to
forsee this sudden expansion in the need of it.

Reports indicate that, after a few years of little .
' or no loss from disease, many hog raisers took a

chance this year and did not immune their pigs.
That swelled the demand when cholera appeared,
and it likewise caused much loss that might have
been avoided. Hog raisers must adopt the policy
of protecting their pigs every year, and follow
it just as regularly as their feeding and other

policies, or periods of serum shortage and loss ‘

of pigs will continue.

BEATING THE TON LITTER
HEN the ton litter idea. ﬁrst got under way

way a litter of pigs weighing 2,000 pounds

was something to talk about, but the winner
of Michigan's latest contest. which closes shortly
after this is written, will weigh better than a ton
and a half. Fourteen grade Poland Chinas,
owned by A. C. Londenburger, of Albion, lead.
Last year in Illinois there was a litter of 16
pigs that weighed 4,789 pounds at the end of the
six months period. This year in Indiana a litter
of 17 weighed 4,925. pounds and an Illinois
breeder beat that with a litter of the same number
weighing 5,117 pounds. '
How long before we have a three-ton litter?

 

MICHIGAN ’S CHAMPION CORN CUTTER

WE would like to know who is Michigan’s

champion corn cutter? The most likely
prospect to qualify that we have heard of

‘ so far is N. A. Vinton, who is 77 years old and

lives near Sparta. In 17 days of 9 hours each
this fall he cut and shocked 32 acres of corn on
the farm of Frank Ebers, Ballards Corners.
When he ﬁnished there were 1, 502 large shocks
in the ﬁeld. Using the old fashioned method of
tying four hills together to get a start he out
eight rows wide and about the same distance the
other way of drilled corn. Last year he cut more
than 1, 600 shocks.

If any of our folks can beat that we wish they
would write in and send their picture.

PETER PLOW'S PHILOSOPHY

“Give me the man who does his duty because
he enjoys it and not because he does it to get
more money," sod an advertiser in a city news-
paper I wuz readin' the other day. There' s a lot
0' good boss sense in that, and I want to suggest
that the sweatin' sons of the sod be given serious
consideration if any medals are to be handed out
by this teller.

WESTERN FARMERS FORM ANTI-
CHIOK 'rnmr ASSOCIATION

licOook, Nola. Oct. 7.—An rm-
lsat‘lon to be styled after the Anti-
Korsc Thief associa on of two do-
cades ago will -be formulated by
poultry raisers of this vicinity.

Aronsed at the increasing number
of poultry thefts County Farm Agent
1. S. Ulrich called the meeting to or-
ganise a systematic movement against
chicken thieves. It is planned to form
an organisation which will offer rec
wards for conviction of chicken ‘
thieves and aid in capturing and pros-
ecuting them.

Similar organisations have been
perfected in other parts of the state
where chicken thefts have been num-
erous.

 

 

. and they were out of business. Oth-

er companies operating along the

out of business by the oﬂicials at
the same time were Interstate Sales

these concerns. Possibly you have
had some experience with them.
They advertised a “home-work"
scheme through classiﬁed columns
of out of town newspapers which
sold for one dollar. .
Anyone who sent in their dollar
received several stamped envelopes
and a booklet giving instructions to
clip various items about individuals
in the newspapers, then to advise the

individual that they had information

of interest which would be sent up—
on receipt of 25c or some nominal
amount. An income of from $25 to
$30 per week was promised in most
instances.

This Kansas City concern is no
better than any of the rest of them
operating along this line and no
doubt by the time you read this the
mails will be closed to them also.

“PAUNEE'BIfLL, Tun BLIND TIE
MAN"

F our correspondence can be con—
sidered an indicator we would
say that “Paunee Bill, the Blind

Tie Man" is trying to tie up the tie
business of Michigan. Every mail
during the last three weeks has
brought letters inquiring about him,
and almost everyone asks if he is
really blind.

We have learned from relibale

sources that he is blind, alright, and ‘

has taken this means to earn a liv-
ing. He sends out a package of
“three ﬁbre silk knitted ties" and
the price is one dollar. A letter ac-
companies the ties playing up the
fact that he is blind and appealing
to you in a round about way ti. help
him out by purchasing the ties.

Several have written that ii the
man is really worthy of help they
would be pleased to send the dollar
although they do not care for the
ties. It the ties are worth the money
and anyone wants them we say send
him the dollar, but do not buy them
just to help a blind man. We und—
erstand that he needs nobody's
sympathy and his income is more
than ample. His name is Samuel
Presberger, but has adopted "Paunee
Bill” for business purposes.

Not only Michigan but other states
are being ﬂooded with these ties we
are informed, and we will wager
that any of our readers would be
happy to trade incomes with him at
any time.

LET’S DO IT NOW

HRISTMAS is drawing near, so

~. those of us who have only a

limited amount of money which
to make our preparations, should
get busy at once. -

It is not the cost of a gift which
measures the joy it may give; a
little child is often delighted with a
mere triﬂe and our grown up friends
are often just as pleased with a
small gift, which expresses a bit of
thoughtfulness On the part of the
giver. ’

It is the wild scramble during the
week of Christmas Day, to gather to—
gether, a dozen or more gifts, ﬁnish
a few tasks which complete the fall
house cleaning, prepare the dinner
for the friends who are coming, or
else pre‘parefor the trip aWay, that
rob this sacred holiday of some of
its joy. ,

So, let’s do it now! First let us
make a list of those who are to be
remembered with a gift, thinking
first of those whose stocking may be
a bit lean, "For inasmuch as ye have
done untothe least of these, ye have
done it unto me."

There is nothing valued more
. highly by the housewife than a new
piece 'of needlework and it is not
expensive, if one starts while there
is still time to do this work. It may
be a towel, a buffet set, a dresser
scarf or table runner and last but
not least, handkerchiefs and aprons.
We never have too many and each
'one expresses the maker’s original—
lty.

,_ If you have a friend in the city who
'ﬂhaps keeps house and holds an—
" other job besides, rest assured-that

nothing will please 'her more than

a jar of homemade pickles or jell.

 
 
 
 
    
 
 
   
   
  
  
 
   
  
    
   
  
  
 
 
   
  
 
 
 
   
    
  
 
 
 
 
   
  
 
  
 
 
 
  
   
  
   
 
 
   
  
 
  
   
 
 
  
   
  
 
  
 
 
 
  
 
  
 
  
     
   
  
   
  
 
    
  
  
  
  
     
   
  
   
  
   

Uncle Ned's page, so I am going to

’ sneak in a message in here for his
girls, trusting that the mothers will
pass it anlong for me. Every ho'use-
keeper that I ever knew enjoyed
bright Clean holders but because
they are ‘-so easily made and there
are always so many other more im-
portant things to be done, we delay
making them until some times the
old ones are a disgrace to a neat
kitchen. Every mother and auntie
will be delighted with half a dozen,
made of gingham, cretonne, or any

washable material, and the scrap
'bag will furnish this~—‘—don’t forget
the ring to hang them up with. Now
don’t laugh, I didn’t say this was a
new idea.

Next comes the shoe. bag, made of
ticking or cretonne, with either one
or two rows of pockets. The pock-
ets must be deeper if made for men's
shoes.

If any one has a bride among
their acquaintances, a- cook book of
your own tried recipes will be very
welcome. Get a ten cent note book,
paste a pretty picture on each cover
and copy the recipes very neatly 'in

ink. ,

THANKSGIVING DECORATIONS

PPROPRIATE decorations and

color schemes can (1 omuch to

make the Thanksgiving dinner
attractive and one long to be re-
membered. If some thought is given
to the choice of foods in the menu
from the standpoint of color and
ﬂavor the eﬁect will be far more
pleasing than if the housewife pre-
pared just everything she could pos-
sibly think of. Haven’t yOu eaten
dinners where you wished there had
been half as much because you
couldn’t possibly taste everything
anyway? Moreover, haven’ t you
wished that the housewife hadn’t
worn herself out for your sake? And
have you ever felt sorry for the fam-
ily living on left overs for several
days afterwards?

In laying the table there is noth-
ing nicer than a beautifully laund-
ered cloth of snowy linen. A pump?
kin hollowed out and ﬁlled with sev-
eral kinds of fruit, as apples, and a
cluster of grapes, or other ﬁruit

makes a colorful and appropriate
centerpiece. Crystal candlesticks
holding bright orange candles will
serve to repeat the pumpkin color.
Small nut—cups covered with orange
colored crepe paper to resemble tiny
pumpkins may be used at each place.
A horn of plenty may be fashioned
from brown crepe paper and a wire
frame. This makes an attractive
centerpiece when ﬁlled with fruits.
For a ﬂoral centerpiece Chrysanthe-
nums or combinations of ﬂowers are
beautiful and may have the predomi-
nent color repeated in the candles
and favors.

The Black Plrate.—~Dougla.s Fairbanks'
latest picture takes you back to the days
of “Treasure Island” and Captain Kidd, .
which were handed down to us through ',
story books. An elaborate tale of pirate
lore, it is a typical Fairbanks picture, .and

 

he gives a very good sample of his best .-
acting. Like most of his recentpictures
it is not intended to be taken seriously.
but is just romance, dashing melodrama
and a jolly, exhilarating ﬂight of imagin-
ation.

Mr. Fairbanksras a youth of noble birth
is traveling the seas with his father.
Their ship is attacked by pirates and he
and his father escape, although the father
dies soon after reaching land. Vowing
to avenge his fathers death, the son jOin‘s
the pirates. After many hazardous ex-
ploits and deathdefying hazards, he be-
trays the pirates,- brings about their cap--
ture and rescues the beautiful lady who i

, happens to be a royal princess. Lovely

Billie Dove is the princess.

Boasting the Thanksgiving Bird.——Tho
chief object in roasting any bird is to
have a moist, tender, well-ﬂavored pro-
duct when it comes to the table. If the
bird is young and plump to start with, this
end is more easily reached. But some-
times. as a matter of farm economy, one
of the "boarder" hens may have to be
sacriﬁced, and that’s another story.

Some acnny cooks boil such a fowl in
water to which has been added a'small
amount of vinegar. Those who are for-
tunate enough to own pressure cookers
do the preliminary “tendering" in these
useful utensils. The roasting process in
those cases, becomes a matter of brown-
ing the fowl and allowing the seasoning.
in the stufﬁng to do its savory work.

When a straight job of roasting is done
the\ﬂavor is improved by laying strips
of bacon or salt pork over the breast of
the bird to prevent dryness. Long, slow
cooking produces a better result than does
a quick heat which is apt to harden and
dry the tissues unduly. Much basting
also helps to prevent this tasteless state
of} affairs. .,

Motto:

EAR girls and boys: Honors in
our joke contest were pretty
nearly evenly divided, although

the girls did win more of the money,
getting ﬁrst and third prizes, while
the boys placed second and fourth.
But I wish that I had been able to
award a dozen prizes instead of four
because there were so many good
jokes that the judges had a very
hard time to pick the winners. We
are going to publish all of the best
ones from time to time with the
names and addresses of those who
sent them in.

Eleanor M. McCabe, age 11,
Blanchard, won ﬁrst prize of $2.00;
second prize of $1.00 was awarded
to Robert Royal Rhoads, age 10,
Wheeler; third prize of 50c to Mild—
red Halsey, age 17, Charlotte, R. 5.;
and fourth prize of 50c to Carson

Nelson, age 13, Filion.

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving
Day and I hope all of you will sit
down some time between now and
then and 'make out a list of the
things you have to be thankfuL for.
List these, one below the other, and
then opposite this list make one of
the things in your life that you have
good reason for not being thankful
for. Your ﬁrst list will cover sever-
al pages no doubt while your second
one will take only small space on the
ﬁrst page. Then next Thursday give
thanks to God and after that make
every day Thanksgiving day. We
have those many things to be thank—
ful for the year around, so we should
give thanks for them every day. Of
course, we are all thankful, but some
of us fail to tell God every evening
that We are, and we should not do
that. Tell God daily that'you are
thankful for what he does for you.

I warn you not to eat too much
turkey and all of the other good

“things the table will be loaded down

with or you will be'sick. I know
because I often do it;, There now,
I told on myself, didn’t I?——UNCLE

NED.

T was the day before Thanks-

giving. ‘

The Smith children were play-
ing in their back yard. They were
talking about the fun they were go-
ing to have the next day.

“Good afternoon,” said a. quiet
voice.

They started in surprise. Stand—
ing near them was an old woman, a
gypsy. She was bent with age. A
red and yellow shawl hung from her
shoulders. She were large shiny
earrings.

“Cynthia is hungry. She begs
something for Thanksgiving dinner
tomorrow,” she said.

“Wait a minute, Granny,” they
said as they scampered oil to the
house. In a moment they returned
with a basket heaped with fruits and
vegetables and other good things to
eat.

“A happy Thanksgiving to you,”
they cried as they handed her the
basket. “Won’t you tell our for—
tunes?”

ful children. - But here is something
that may help you to have a joyous
Thanksgiving, and she gave them
some silver rings which she took
from an old beaded purse. There
was one for each child. Then Gran-
ny in a mysterious tone of voice told
the children what to do.

“Just as the clock is striking the
hour of ﬁve this afternoon slip a
ring on your little ﬁnger. Then
something will happen. For thirty
minutes you will hear things talk.

Oh, yes, Uncle Ned, I have a dark com-

you send me a button?

I have four sisters all older than my-

older than they are and One younger.
I haven’t any brothers so you see I am

Well, Uncle Ned, I guess I will leave off

The Gypsy’s Magic Rings

By JAMES MACE ANDRESS

But remember the ring must be put
on before the clock stops striking. ”

With a “Thank you” and “Good—
bye” she disappeared as quickly as
she had come.

How slowly the hours wore away!

Just as the clock began to strike
ﬁve the children slipped on their
rings as Granny had told them to
do. Suddenly they heard strange
voices.‘ As they peeked between the
cracks of the barnyard fence they
saw Mr. Turkey strutting up and
down. He held his head high, and
his tail feathers were widely spread.
All around him were golden pump-
kins, squash, rosy apples and bottles
of milk.

“Ha, ha,” boasted Mr. Turkey.
“Tomorrow is my day, the One day
of the year. Everybody must bow
down to Mr. Turkey. What would
Thanksgiving be without me?”

“Ho, ho,’_’ said Mr. Milkbottle,
perched high on .a post. “Tomor-
row may be your day, but I have 365
in the year. Children need me to be
happy. They know I am
friend.”

“But what would Thanksgiving be
without me?” sputtered Mr. Potato
and Dame Squash and Rosy Apple.

“Well, it seems to me,” said Mr.
Turkey in his wise way, “that the
children need us all to be healthy
and happy on Thanksgiving Day.”

Just as the clock struck the half-
hour the voices ceased, and they
,ﬁeard only the gobbling of the tur-

manwho raised the crops get some-

thing for his labor, regardless or
what elements entered into them. .
God gave be certain fertility in
certain soils, in some more than
others, and you will see the poorest
soil originally is the ﬁrst to be aban-
done‘d with the others following in

, their respective .order.

Now comes the time when with
the price paid for implements, equip-
ment and labor, the man farming

these lands finds that he is playing.

a losing game and. it all depends up-
on his love for the sailor his family
connections that holds him on them,
but the time will come when he will
throw up the'sponge.

How long this thing will? continue
will depend upon the rate of educa-
tion of the producer and consumer
alike to know that so much fertility
enters into a given unit of land and
is taken out of one's soil and this
must be replaced if the producer is
going to maintain his present state of
fertility. This cannot be done by
legislation but by a persistent edu—
cation of the public to these facts.

The man who is trying to build
up his farm must put his crops on
the same market as the man who
is tearing this dowu and at present
there seems to be no way to stop
them.

More abandoned farms are loom-
ing up on the horizon of Michigan
as well as other states and the time
may be on its way when great cor-
porations will run the land scientif-
ically and then foods will be sure to
sell for more than fertility costs.
We hear a great lot of bunk on the
prosperity of the farmer but the rank

and ﬁle of these would like to know

how much behind they will be this
year.

The man who has unusual condi-
tions may be making money and
these: unusual ones are held up as
beacons of farm prosperity.

The writer had the pleasure to see
one of the widest advertised farms in
Michigan and one that was stocked
with 1-10 of a cow per acre and all
modern conveniences but yet this
farm was looking for a man who

'could make some money on it.

Don’t think that I am advising you
to leave the farm at present because
the tide is going to turn when the
people get suppressed enough to
wake up and demand the right.

If the man can keep on sawing
wood and add to his soils, humus and
fertility, which can be done even at
the present prices, he is going to
have a better time when the tide
turns than he is at present. and every

bushel more he raises and yet main- .

tains his fertility that much more
able will he be to ride the head

OR all-winter Milk proﬁts,

without interruption, most
cows need more than simply
good food. The sudden change
from tender pasturage to dry,
hard-to-digest feeds is too much
for them to overcome—without
aid. Part of the expensive diet
simply GOES TO WASTE.

And this wasteful milk less
NOW! Take several of your
poor milkers and give a table-
spoonful of Kow—Kare with the
feed—note the almost immedi-
ate improvement in the milk
pail. It’s those ADDED quarts
that boost your milk proﬁts.
You’ll be amazed at the con-
vincing proof of the Kow—Kare
aid to increased milk ﬂow.

Kow—Kare has a direct, positive, ac-
tion on the digestive and assimilating
organs. It enables them to carry a

heavy load without a break-down. It ‘
builds greater vigor into the cow while
it is putting more milk into the pail.
A single can of Kow—Kare will ration
one cow one to two months, depending
on the dosage you deem necessary.
It’s a small investment to pay for
proﬁt and health insurance.

Treating Cow Diseases

For Barrenness, Retained After-birth, .
Abortion, Bunches, Scours, Lost Ap-
petite, etc., Kow—Kare is your one sure
remedy. It attacks these diseases by
quickly building up to robust health
the organs where these troubles origi.
nate. If you have never tried KOWo‘
Kare, ask your neighbor. Kow-Kare'
has a well earned reputation as aI
proﬁt-maker and a money-saver in‘
the cow barn.

For cows about to freshen, Kow-,
Kare provides just the strengthening
aid needed to bring cow and calf
through without costly disorders and
loss of production. Feed it two to
three weeks before and after calving;s
it costs little, brings sure results.

FEEDING FRESH SILAGE‘
DAIRY COWS

HEN the silo‘is ﬁlled and allow-
ed to seal itself by the heat-
ing and fermenting of the top
layer, there is an appreciable” loss
of feed. If the silo is ﬁlled early
in the fall while there is yet plenty
of pasture or other green .feed. it
may not be practicable to avoid this
waste. However, if the silo is ﬁlled
later, when all the available green
feed is neded, feeding from it
should begin , immediately. When
this is done, the labor and unpleas-
antness of removing the surface lay-
er is avoided also. .

For a number of years, the dairy
cows at the New York State College

corn as it came from the machine
when the silo is being ﬁlled and then

WITH THE COW TESTERS
H_E Gratiot county cow testing
association closed its second
year with 245 cows under test
averaging 325, lbs. butterfat and
7682 lbs. milk. Earl Bayes had
high herd in butterfat production,
while in milk production Delbert
Conley’s herd was in the lead.

The Kalamazoo association recent—
ly closed a very successful year, and
Roy Buckham had high herd in both
milk and butterfat production. His
herd averaged 431.7 lbs. ‘butterfat
and 12947 lbs. milk.

Macomb No. 3 associatidn ﬁnish:
ed the ﬁrst year with seven herds
averaging above 300: lbs. butterfat.
E. B. Elliot is the tester.

TO.

 

A herd of 237 purebred Jerseys;

.-o"wned by James Harris, was high

a

in butterfat at the ‘end of the third!
year of teSting in the Leelanau- "ljra-
verse association. The Robert La’ut-
ner herd of 28 purebred Holsteins
was ﬁrst in milk production.

Twenty of the 25 herds complet-
ing the test in the third year for Ma-
comb No. 2 averaged above 300 lbs.
butterfat production, and the re-
maining ﬁve averaged between 250
and 295 lbs. '

The” South Newago association has
just completed two years of work
and in checking up results it is found
that the net proﬁt per cow has been
increased $16.00 during this time.
The tester is Clarence Prentice.

RATION FOR HOGS

What kind of a ration would bar-
ley, oats and buckwheat make for
hogs?—M. T., Bad Axe; Mich.

WOULD not advise a ration of

barley,, oats and buckwheat for

hogs. Buckwheat and oats both
contain more ﬁbre than is desirable
in a ration for hogs. If these grains
are at hand and are cheaper than
other grains which could be pur-
chased I would advise feeding them
in the proportion of two parts of
barley, one part of oats and one part
of buckwheat or if it is desired to
use up the buckwheat more rapidly
it would be all right to feed two
parts barley and one part of buck-
wheat.

With either of the above mixtures
some protein feed would be desir-
able. This might be supplied by
skim milk. Skim milk fed to the
extent of from tw0 to three pounds
for each pound of the above grain
mixture would give a well balanced

 

 

 

WELL FOLKS, THE JOKE IS ON US

Our readers no doubt had a good laugh when they saw the above picture in our
October 28rd issue with lines appearing under it reading, “This Holstein was State
Champion in Club work for 1926 at the Michigan State Fair and is fed and owned
by Clarence Merchant, Cass City," and we do not blame them because anyone could

tell this animal is not related in any way to the Holstein breed.

The picture which

was intended to appear with those lilies is shown below, and the information about
the Angus steer is that it was champion beef steer at the State Fair this year. It,
too, comes from Cass City, Tuscola county, but is owned by James Milligan. The
latter part of this month this Angus calf goes to the International, at Chicago, to

/ compete for national honors. '

RICKE'BS

I would like to ask your opinion
in regards to a sow I think she has
rheumatism. . While she eats good
and keeps in good ﬂesh, she is lame
in one front leg and at times she
seems the same in one or other hind
leg. She is about one year old and
will weigh 250 or better. Can you
advise any cure?-.—G. S, Mancelona,
Michigan.

OUR sow has rickets and this is

caused by her not getting the
right kinds of feed; she should have
bone building foods such as clover
or alfalfa pasture, skimmilk and
tankage. Some minerals would also
be of value in overcoming this con-
dition. No medical treatment will
help any. Ten lbs. of bonemeal in
100 lbs. of tankage, then 1 1b. of this
per day with some middlings in
skimmilk should bring recovery in
a short time.

CURING MANGE

, r have a horse twelve years old
that has the mange ‘around the ears
and front of head, also a few places
on the back. Has had it for about
ﬁve months but I have only just
learned from my veterinary what it
was. I thought it a simple skin at-
fection and treated it myself but my
veterinary tells me it is mange and
as such is well near incurable. Can
you recommend any threatement and
is it possible to cure mange in horses
or would it be better to destroy him?

GIVES BLOODY MLK
Cow gives bloody milk out of one
quarter of bag. Can you prescribe a
remedy for her through your depart-
menﬂ—E. S. M., Ithaca, Mich.

LL cows that show udder trouble
should be tested for T. B. for
so often this class of troubles is

due to this disease. If this is not
the cause then the next best thing
is to draw the milk from the infected
quarter with a milk tube that has
been boiled before using. Then do
not strip the udder as this will give
the blood vessels a. chance to heal
up. If this does not help then dry
the quarter up as soon as you can
and give it a long rest before she
comes fresh again.

FITS

I have a hound puppy three
months old that has worm ﬁts. When

he starts having these ﬁts he jerks .

and slobbers, then falls down and
kicks, ﬁnally gets up and trys to
run and is blind. The ﬁrst tw0 or
three ﬁts he had his eyesight came
back but not the last one. Would
you kindly tell me What I could do
for him?—-A. M. S., R'oscommon.
Michigan. '

HE impression seems to be held—

by many. people that all ﬁts or
convulsions in young dogs is
caused by worms, but nothing could

be further from the truth. It is'

true that manyxare but there are also
many other causes ltor this condi-
tion. You might try the following:

A cow of average weight giving 30 lbs. of milk a day needs a
little more than seventeen pounds of digestible feed daily, two
and a half pounds of which should be digestible protein. She
must have this much feed if she is to keep up her own body and
at the same time produce the 30 lbs. of milk. Ten pounds of
Amco 24% Dairy with 10 lbs. of mixed hay and 30 lbs. of
s1lage furnishes just the right amount of digestible feed for"
your 30-pound-a'day cows. More feed is necessary when a,
cow gives more milk. ‘

\‘fffff

Every ingredient in Amco 24% Dairy has been picked for its'
feedmg value; there is nothing in it just to make weight. As a

result Amco 24% Dairy is rich in digestible feed and di~.
gestxble protein. In other words Amco 24% Dairy goes further j
because it is more highly digestible.

11171

The formula of Amco 24% Dairy is public. Every bag carries a‘
tag which gives the exact amount of each ingredient and the
total digestibility. As the various good feed ingredients shift
up and down in price the formula is changed to give dairymcn 5
the beneﬁt of the price changes No change is made, however, i
which will hurt the quality of the feed or lower its digestibility.) " , “a

fffff

For November, the formula of Amco 24% Dairy is: 320 lbs.
Gluten Feed, 320 lbs. Gluten Meal, 300 lbs. Cottonseed Meal,
120 lbs. Linseed Meal, 100 lbs. St. Wheat Middlings, 240 lbs.
St. Wheat Bran, 280 lbs. Hominy. 100 lbs. Ground Oats, 160 I
lbs. Molasses, 20 lbs. Steam Bone Meal, 20 lbs. Ground Lime- 3
stone, 20 lbs. Salt; 1473 lbs. to the ton are digestible.

$111111

A little study of this formula shows that every quality of a
good feed 18 present in its make -.up You will notice it has ﬁve
sources of protein, all of them excellent This gives protein
quality and variety. It has enough bran to give bulk; molasses ‘
to make it taste good to the cows; the right minerals are there
in the right quantity

~ 1 r r r 1

In Michigan, Amco 24% Dairy is your best buy with average
hay and average silage, unless you have home- -grown grains.
In that case, use Amco 32% Supplement. Both are available
through Amco Agents.

last two weeks of the contest furn-‘ horn Earl-n" COfVallis', Oregon; Geo-

ished a real thrill when the Hansen
pen from Corvallis, Oregon, which
had led the contest for 49 weeks,
was'passed in the 50th week 'by the

pen 0f J. Pater & SOD Of Hud'son-‘ ton; P. Bu SlaCk, BriStOI, Indiana;

ville, and during the ﬁfty-ﬁrst week
was sent down to third place, when
the pen owned by George S. Sutton,
Aurora, Indiana, surpassed the Han-
sen pen’s total production by-ﬁve
eggs. The average production for
the entire contest for the 51 weeks
reached 192.8 per b’ird, surpassing
the best previous average production
by 16.3 eggs. The best previous re—
cord was made in the Third Annual
Contest when the average production
in the 52—week contest year was
176.5 ‘e'ggs. This increase in pro—
duction" of 16 eggs, in a contest
shorter by one week than previous

contests, is attributed 'ﬁrst to the'

better breedingof the birds entered
in the contest, and second to the im—
proved feeding practices brought
about by the experience gained
through previous contests, and the
feeding of condensed milk and cod

‘liver oil during the winter period

undoubtedly played an important
part in this increased production.

lastly, a satisfactory hopper must
hold enough to supply the birds for
several days.

An open hopper or self-feeder,
meeting the above requirements, that
can be made by- anyone, and is inex-
pensive, is shown in the accompany—
ing illustration.

The “runningboards” (1”x4”) on
'which the birds stand to eat, are
about 18" from the ﬂoor. The size
of the ,hopper itself can well be 8” or
9” Wide with sides 7” or 8” high.
The revelvlng boar-d above the feed
suspended by a nail driven through
the middle of each end, keeps the
birds out of the feed. Also when
they attempt to perch on it their
weight causes the board to revolve,
throwing them off.

The length of the outﬁt can be
made to correspond to the size of-'
the ﬂock. When the length is made
to exceed eight feet an extra pair of
legs should be provided to support
the middle—H. H. Barnum.

 

,THE BEST POULTRY REMEDIES "
HE best remedy for most poultry
diseases is a set of common,
homely tools,———a broom, shovel,
scraper, and spray pump, some crude
oil or other spray material, and the
necessary energy and initiative on
the part of the pock owner to keep
the outﬁt in use. The Nebraska
poultry keepers who have made the
most net proﬁt during the past, four
years in the University Record Flock
are the ones who use this kind of a
remedy. to prevent diseases, among-
their ﬂocks. They save the money
that other »-people put into high
priced, brightly...-colored, and strong
smelling. dopes..,of - doubtful value.

~T is getting late in the year, and
farmers have been marketing
such cattle and hogs as they did'
not care to carry into the winter per-
iod, this resulting in glutted markets
and marked price reductions in Chi—
cago and elsewhere. Stinging cold
weather has checked the hitherto
serious ravages of the dreaded hog
cholera, which had meant big losses
to stock feeders, but recently the
large declines in prices for matured
hogs cut severely into the proﬁts
[which the owners had conﬁdently
looked forward to. Owners of cat-
tle in feeding districts have market—
.e'd extremely large numbers Of short
fed kinds, but shipments of good fat
steers and heifers are not burden—
some as a rule. Indications look
promising for stockmen who engage
this winter in feeding well—bred
steers, as all reports indicate that
the business in most districts is not
likely to be overdone. Probably,
the hog breeding industry will go
forward actively, for there is an
abundance of old and new corn to
be fed on the farms where grown.
If ﬁgures mean anything at all, it is
well to study the oﬂicial report of the
market receipts of cattle, hogs and
sheep in the seven leading western
packing points. They show that for
the year to late date the combined
receipts of cattle amounted to 9,992,-
/ 000 head, comparing with 9,626,000
a year ago; while the receipts of
sheep and lambs aggregated 10,588,-
000 head, comparing with the 9,16,-
000 for the like period a year ago.
On the other hand, to hog receipts
fell off to 16,042,000 head, against
21,723,000 a year ago. There is not
much activity in the wool trade, and
in the Boston market Ohio and simi-
lar ﬂeeces sell for 46 cents per
pound. One of the greatest-sales of
draft horses of superior quality in
recent year was held in Chicago a
few days ago, about 400 horses being
sold at auction. One consignment
of 29 horses brought an average
price of $350 each, and one horse
sold for $485. Such prime horses
are seldom shown in the market.
A Fair Corn Crop
There is gOIng to be plenty of
corn to meet all requirements, and
it is to be'hoped that farmers will
feed the principal part of their crop
on the farm. According to the No-
vember crop report issued by the
United States Department of Agri-
\ culture, the corn harvest will approx-
imate 2,693,963,000 bushels, and it
compares with 2,905,053,000 bush-
els raised last year. The ﬁve year
average crop is 2,849,189,000 bush‘
els. Stocks of old corn on the farms
on November 1 were 181,000,000
bushels, comparing with 60,952,000
bushels a year earlier, and the car—
ry-over this year is going to be one
of the largest on record. The pro—
duction of wheat, corn, oats, rye and
barley in the United States this year
is placed at 5,054,827,000 bushels,
against 5,350,535,000 bushels last
last year. Flaxseed production this
' year is placed at 18779,0-00 bushels,
compared with 22,018,000 bushels
harvested last year.
Fair Prices for Wheat '
It is difﬁcult to bring about any
marked advance in the price of
wheat, and after moderate upward
movements in wheat for December“
delivery the pendulum swings back-
ward, waiting for renewed speculat-
ive buying. Much of the time in re-
cent weeks prices have hung around
$1.42, being about 10 cents lower
than a year ago, and market prices
were high enough to induce farmers
to part'with a good deal of their
new wheat. For some time .the vis-
ible wheat supply in this country
has been growing, and a short time
ago it amounted to 72,431,000 bush-
els, while a year ago it was down to
13,198,000 bushels, In some sec-
tions millers are grinding consider-
. , able soft wheat, this being especially
. ' true of Pennsylvania and New
' Jersey. Such miller: are saidto be
doing a good business and undersell- .

well as Ohio millers are buying the

‘held down by the large marketing

of old corn, which is due largely to
the need of providing room for stor-
ing the new crop. Choice cats are
scarce, and No. 2 white oats sell at
a fair premium, while rye is a short
crop and sells unusually high.

WHEAT

Lower prices rule in the wheat
market and the tone appears to be
bearish. Considerable wheat will be
marketed within the next six weeks
to take care of taxes and purchasers

active. Reports from Canada. indi-
cate the crop better than expected

and more or less lower. Recent sales
were made of beef steers at $7.50 to
$12.50, with the bulk of the sales
at $8.50 to $11.25, and yearlings
the best sellers. The best heavy
steers brought $11. A year ago
steers sold at $7 to $14.50; two
years‘ago at $6 to $12 “and three
years ago at $5.75 to $12.65. Stock-
ers and feeders have had a good sale
at $6.25 to $8.45,. largely at $6.50
to $7.75, with stock and feeder cows
and heifers at $4.25 to $6. '

Hogs Plunge Downward
Prices for hogs in the Chicago
market have slumped recently to the
lowest prices of the year on- extreme-
ly large receipts. The year’s mar-
ketings at western packing points
are enormously less than in recent
years, but late supplies reached such
generous proportions that it was im~
possible to maintain prices. There
were late sales at $9.75 to $11.75,
weighty lots going highest. Recent
receipts averaged 239 pounds, the
lightest of the year, and comparing
with 243 pounds a year ago. In an
August week the average was 38
pounds heavier than recently. Prices

closed as low as a year ago.

Lamb Feeding Popular
According to the Department of
Agriculture, more sheep and lambs
are going to be fed this winter than

several bushels per acre under a year
ago. Total production for the state
is estimated at slightly over 54,000,-
000 bushels, with 55 per cent mer—
chantable. Supplies, mostly from the
old crop, have been heavy forcing
prices down.

f OATS -

While other grains were working
downward oats showed little change.
Some are predicting lower prices,
others are inclined to feel this grain
is good property to own.

RYE

Rye has sympathized with wheat,
as it usually does, and prices are
down.

BEANS

Continuous wet 'weather has cer-
tainly reduced the bean acreage and
yield in this state. Around the first
of this month only about one-half of
the crop in the Thumb district had
been harvested and since that time
there has been little weather that
would permit handling beans so
there is reason to believe that at
least a large part of this ﬁfty per
cent was left in the ﬁelds. We be«
lieve that the merchantable crop will
show a large decline over that of
last year. , ‘
