 Gov.  and New Legislature Go to Work *
i  ’s NeiuXOﬂ‘icidls Assume Executive and Legislative Responsibilities At Lansing

By STANLEY M. POWELL
msmg Correspondent of Tm: Home mem.

SORRY to have to tell? you folks,
but times seem What'they- used
to be  the State-House.

secretory. Neither have 1' teen tol'd'
" what not to tennry misuse an'
radars. Things aren‘t what they
,used to be. Itvrihi take me some
tinie‘ to get (their ton on.

For instance, there’s that door
into the Governors private oﬂice. I
never remember seemg it standing
open Deters. Now they forget to
shut it and you can look right in
and watch Michigan’s new Chief Ex-
ecutive wrestling with the knotty
problems or State. Maybe that has
something" to .do With the “db light
goVernmen ” We heard about ring
the campaign. It’s rather refreshing
to Watch this vigorous, but kindly
man Who smiles While he Works and
works w’h‘l’fe he smiles.

In a'big venture like running the
great Commdn‘Wealth- of Michigan
am the most important things
are harmony, conﬁdence and a real
desire to promote the interests or
the State. These things seem to pre-
vail around the Capitol to an un-
usual degree this winter: The new
(Emmet and MgiMu-re are get-
ting acquainted, “changing ideas
and? generally demonstrating a- disa
position to work together for the
common good.- . ‘

The ﬁrst week oi! the legislative
session was a short one, starting
Wednesday afternoon and ending
Thursday afternoon. The Senate
and House perfected their organiu
zation, and listened to the Gover-
nor’s message Which he“ delivered in
person before a joint convention of
the two houses held Thursday after-

There was a striking contrast be-
tWeen the farewell message of for-
mer Governor Alex J. Groesbeck and
the inaugural address of Michigan’s
new executive.

Groesbeck has not been seen in
Lansing since some tithe previous to
the inaugural ceremonies on New—
Years Day, but his meSSage, Which
was read to the Legislature, urged
strengthening of the State Adminis-
trative Board act, spoke in glowing
terms of out" splendid achievements
in road building and declared that
the general condition of the State's
ﬁnances and institutions was in
splendid shape.

c Governor Green’s spectacles were
not so were ordered. He began his
address by the statement that it is
extremely dinicuit to write a mes"—
sage from the outside looking in.
but that he was having an audit
made of the books and an inventory
of the property of the State and
would make them public as soon as
they Were completed. He had sev~
eral recommndations to make re-
gxrding road building and the
State’s prisons and educational in-
stitutions. No one who was ac-
quainted with Michigan’s new execu-
tive was surprised that. be devoted

 IN THE GOVERNOR’S mm T0 LEGISLATURE
“’ ' 8 Legislature could easily become the outstanding Legislature
: or‘uie'uma States with every member going home proud of the
WW and with an acknowledged place in the history of

Many legislatures have passed into immediate

oblivion because of the quantity of their production. You could become

famous if you insisted on quality.

“In the future there will be regular reports 04' receipts and expendi-
tures that will reveal the state’s true ﬁnancial condition.

“Many departments and institutions have failed in recent years

to make reports. This will be corrected.

I do not believe expensive

books with more or less beautiful pictures of ofﬁcers should be issued,
but short, concise, accurate reports are necessary for the information

0'! the public.

“At the last election the people refused an increase of pay for
members of the Legisuaturc, although the compensation is notoriously
inadequate. This vote seems to (indicate that the people are not satis-
ﬁed. with the services of our law-making bodies.

If I have any communication to

collectively, I'll make it in person."

Referring to the Administrative

amendment to give the members the
power to override the gubernatorial
veto. He declared, "The provision
of the present law makes it‘neces-
sary for the Governor to sign all pro-

M. '8. Cl Gets Ready

RUE-118' WEEK during ﬁrst
week in February, last year,
brought out over 6,000 farmers,

and it was declared “the best that
Michigan has ever seen”, but plans
are being laid to knock that record
into a cocked list at this year’s event,
January Mai. to February 4th, ac-
cording to R. W. Tenney, of M. S. C.
The special features or the week
will be the horticultural, grain, po-
tato, live stock, electrical, and egg
shows, and the demonstration or
wcﬁ‘king eight and ten horse teams.
On the evening of the thirty-ﬁrst
they will celebrate the seventieth
anniversary of the College and there
will be a basket ball game between
the varsity and Short Course men.

Tuesday, February 1st, will be of-
ﬁcial live stock day but, as in the
past, every day. Particularly during
the forenoon. meetings of the differ-

ent associations will be held at the

College. In this otter-noon 1dr. Co-

The future looks dark for two
classes of people in Michigan—crim—
inals and lobbyists. In discussing
the possibility that we may need ad-
ditional prison space, Governor
Green signiﬁcantly declared, “Crime
is on the increase and as it will be

For Farmers’ Week

Agronomy day will be Wednesday
and Prof. J. F. Cox, head of the
farm crops department of the Col-
lege will give the leading address.
Doctor Caroline Hedger will also be
on the program. In the evening the
regular Farmers’ Week banquet will
be held.

Forestry will be the leading topic
for Thursday with Leigh J. Young,
Director of the State Department of
Conservation doing the speaking.
Mr. Young, who was former associate
professor of forestry at the Univers-
ity of Michigan, will no doubt have a.
message of great interest to the
farmers of this State.

Those who have heard Senator
Copeland will be very much inter-
ested to know that he will be. back
this year and will talk Thursday
evening. He always has a good ines-
sage.

on Friday there will be the meet-
ings of various organizations, includ-
ing the State Farmer-3' Clubs, the
State Farm Bureau, and the press.

years, We may need an additional
prison.”

The latter part of the Governor’s
address was devoted to strong state-
ments and startling figures regard-
ing the problem of crime in the
United States and the necessity of
reforms in legal practice which
would discourage law violation. DB-
crying the “law's delay," the Gover-
nor observed, “speedy and certain
justice terriﬂes and deters."

Another thing for the criminals to
worry about is the proposed capital
punishment bill already introduced
by Senator Vincent A. Martin of
Fruitport which provides that ﬁrst
degree murder would be punish-
able by life imprisonment or death
by lethal gas.

Il'obbyists Not Welcome

Everyoneseems inclined to make
life miserable for the lobbyists Whg
have been so much in evidence dur-
ing previous legislative sessions.
After referring to some of the vi~
cious practices of lobbyists, Gover-
nor Green declared, “You can stamp
this thing out. I will help. If
some of the notorious lobbyists of
the past put in an appearance at
this term of the Legislature, I will
call your attention to them by name

. Nothing is more subversive of
good government than the paid lob-
byist. There is no substitute in gov-
ernment for the keen, honest inter-
est of good citizens.”

Lieutenant Governor Luren D.
Dickinson was equally unkind to the
lobbyists in his opening address de-
livered in the Senate. “From many
of our most influential and best in—
formed citizens and journals come
charges that professional lobbyists
have been all too frequent of late
around our halls of legislation with
headquarters largely at a downtown
hotel. . . . . Legitimate information
is always welcomed, but that which
comes across the Wine table can be
set down as inimical to the best in-
terests of the state . . . . . Legitimate
representatives of honorable busi-
ness should receive respectable hear-
ings, but any legislative information
in which the wine table is a con-
tributlng factor should be the sub—
ject for investigation. We must have
the search-light out for ﬁrst activi-
ty on such lines. We must protect
ourselves from suspicion. We can
take no risks. I don’t ask you to
tackle the job alone. In case there
are well founded indications of the
beginning of operations on the part
of this class in these balls or outside,
just pass the case on to me and I’ll
give across this desk identiﬁcation
marks, not at all ambiguous that
may cause an uneasiness, not only
on the part of the individual himself,
but an embarrassment to anyone
hobnobbing with him.”

The full list of committee assign-
ments has already been announced
in the Senate. Lieutenant Governor
Luren D. Dickinson had been busy
on this job for some time before the
Legislature convened. A movement
was started to take the appointment
of committees away from Dickinson
and turn it over to a committee of
Senators, but this proposal was
abandoned, and instead a group of
Senators talked the appointments
eyer with Mr. Dickinson informally
and it is reported that he made some
changes in the original line—up.

The Legislature took a recess
from Thursday, January 6 to Wed-
nesday, January 12 in order to allow ,
the new Speaker of the House. of _
Representatives, Lynn C. Gardner '
or Stockbridge, a Livingston «my ‘

storage in my barn basement 36x42
feet where we now store our apples
and potatoes and we sell~these to the
consumer all winter.

In 1924 we built a stone ﬁlling
station 14x22 to sell gasoline and
oil and some auto accessories. We
also enlarged our parking space
enough to accomodate 40 cars at
one time. This last summer I built
a large stone building 32x32 with
Kelly—stone gables, on the\ second
floor we put in 2 double roOms and
one single room, for tourists’ and

0 You Know How Much Feed Your Cows Need to

Associate Professor of Dairy Husbandry, M. S. C. “

 

 

SERIES OF ARTICLES ON FEEDING DAIRY CATTLE

WE are pleased to announce that this article is the ﬁrst of a Series
on feeding dairy cattle which J. E. Burnett, ’Associate Professor
of Dairy Husbandry, M. S. 0., has prepared for thereaders of

The Busine$ Farmer.

The other articles will appear in the next

several issues and Prof. Burnett will gladly answer your questions on

feeding at any time.

Address your questions to The Business Farmer

and you will receive reply by ﬁrst. class mail, also inquiries of general
interest with answers will appear in our columns.

 

 

the cost of maintaining the herd and
consequently leads to greater proﬁts
from the dairy business. While
better feeding methods will increase
the production and proﬁts from most
herds the net returns can be made
much greater if the better feeding

and the eliminating of the poorer.

dairy animals are made at the same
time. i
The majority of Michigan cows are
not producing at their maximum nor
at their most efficient rate of milk

. produc ion largely because they are

not to enough. Every cow seems
to have a rateof production at
which she produces most efficiently.

'As the grain is increased beyond
this point she again tends to de-
crease in her return for each pound
of grain fed and ﬁnally if the feed
increases continue she reaches a
point at which she no longer pays
for the increase in feed. Because of
this fact it is fairly safe to say that
the milk produced in Michigan could
be increased twenty-ﬁve per cent in
a short period of time if a sufficient
price were paid for the surplus. This

however,» is a condition -that is not

aptto appear in Michigan for some
time. A ‘

The problem that we are con-l

fronted with at the present time is

to get a proﬁt from .ourucow-s under.
“existing market conditions; [In'tliis

situation many, dairymen make the

, mistake of, not feeding their good

 
 

giVe service to customers. Sundays
it usually takes four persons to at-
tend to the trade and keep fruit

sorted and arranged.

At this date, (November 20) we
have apples on sale from our stor-
age plant at 40c to $2.00 per bushel,
f. o. b. our farm. Also potatoes at

v the currant market price, and sweet

cider, gas and oil. We will keep
our store open all winter as soon
as it is completed. We call our

place “The Pioneer Fruit Farm and ’
Store” or for short “The Pioneer.”

Customers Stick

We know our business is good,
because we have cutomers that start-
ed with us in 1919. The old cus-
tomers do not ask the priceof us.
They call for the fruit that they
wantand when it is all put up they
say, “Whats the bill,” paying the
same. They remark, “Will see you
later,’ or “next year.” Our motto
is to sell our customer exactly what
he calls for, in doing this everyone
is satisﬁed.

We also serve lunches and ice
cream in their season. We belong
to the Lake Shore Auto Club and do
an we can to boost old Michigan
Fruit Belt.

What do we make? We sell all
the fruit and vegetables grown on
our 110-acre farm at a satisfactory
price to both_us and the customer.
We also sell our baled hay and baled
straw,- beans and potatoes at our
store-and farm. We have farmer
trade also. We are located 11/2,
miles north from Shelby on M-Jl.

Good Advice

We can tell the readers and people
that contemplate running a fruit
stand to forget all pleasure trips
and picnics of any kind during the r
summer months. Try the business
before you invest too much. For
seven years it has taken every Sun: .
day, as well as every other daydur-
ing. the week of my time and a lot
of my wife’s time. ‘

ﬂit present I ﬁgure our business
is large enough to let my wife out
of it at least a part of the time for
we need more hired help. But I see
my future is a busy one, as people
demand service at this time because
fruit stands are very numerous. .

In building our fruit store I used
stone off the farm to carry out the
motto to display all‘the products
of the farm as well as to sell them.

Make Most Milk ?

A cow must maintain her own
body if she is to live a long life of
useful production and to do this
she needs a certain amount of food
nutrients depending on the size of
the cow. The larger the cow the
more food she needs for body main-
tenance. So ﬁrst of all a cow must
be fed enough for this.
age conditions this varies from forty
to sixty percent of all she eats, de-
pending upon the inherited capacity
of the cow for milk production. The
remaining nutrients in the cow’s
feed are then available for her to
use for milk production or to store
on her back as fat.

Must Have Proper Ration
Now consider a cow that has in-
herited sufficient dairy temperament

to make use of all the available food ,

for milk production. If she were

then fed roughly half of all the food v

she could use' efficiently she would
have only enough to maintain her
own body in health and vigor. If

.on the other hand, she were given

three-quarters as much as she could-
use she would be using seventy-ﬁve
percent of it for maintenance and
twenty-live per cent for milk produc-
tion or she would be like'a gas en-
gine operating at ﬁfty per cent capa—

American knows it,

of a multitude of things
in the realms of research,
engineering and business
administration. Its con-
tinued advancement re-
quires constant eifort in
working upon a never—end-

Because it leads the
way in ﬁnding new path-
ways for telephone devel-

is able to provide America
with a nation-wide service
that sets the standard for
the world.

CHRISTOPHER Co—
LUMBUS discovered

Bell discovered the tele—

of the earth a new means
of communication. Each

way for those who came
after him.

DMINISTRATORS are appointed

of a commission on the real and per-

FENCING SCHOOL YARD

Would like to know what would
be the most suitable fence in front
of a school on a country road where
there is much trafﬁc. There is of-
times a dispute in a district as to
whether two pipes running through
post, or two planed planks spiked to
post or heavy cable stretched across,

,or a heavy woven wire fence is best.

Some think that two planed planks
spiked on post would cause large
snowdrifts which wouldcause a wet
school yard for a long time in the
spring—O. W. B.. Scottsville, Mich.

HE kind of a fence to use in front

of a school house which faces

a main road is a debatable ques~
tion, and naturally one on which we
cannot give a deﬁnite answer. Per-
haps 90% of the school yards in
Michigan, even thpse facing a road
having considerable trafﬁc, are not

WOULD say that the lar of the

slug when full-grown descends from

any right to let a dog run all over
when out coon hunting? Also if on

F the man is out hunting with his
dog, I am of the opinion you
would not have the right to shoot

it merely because it is some distance
from its master. Your remedy would
be an action for damages against the
owner for whatever damage the dog
does—Legal Editor.

it. Fence buyers were proud to own it. All knew
it as a- long lasting, farm fence that was sure to give

steel and “galvannealed” instead of

In “Red Strand" wire we put more copper, mak-

A Sprayer Question

less damage to the'potato crop

in some sections ofthestate.
Early planted ones were the most af-‘
fected. In speaking of late .blight,

" I would like to
explain. L at e
blight~ is blamed
'more for dam-
age to potatoes
than it is en-
titled to be. Not
that late blight
is not a very
disastrous dis-
ease, for it is,
but it is blamed
for some potato
failures when
some other dis-
e a s e' was the
. real cause. In
fact, when ever a potato top does
not look 'just right to many farmers,
they-say it is blight. Very much the
same as many people diagnose their
every ache and pain as rheumatism.

HOWever, potato diseases were
more prevalent last year than for
some time, and several inquiries
have reached us, concerning our
spray outﬁt. In answering a letter
from R. M. of Goldwater, Branch
County, others will get an idea of
how our outﬁt is made. .

Many asking question are like R.
M.——they have an orchard sprayer
which they want to use for potato
ﬁeld spraying.

(1) “Do you use a steel truck for
spraying, and is it a four-wheeled
one? How high are the wheels, and
how wide is the tire? How far apart?

Yes, the wheels are steel, and
there are four 'of them. Rear wheels
are about 56 inches high, and front
ones are 26. The tread is six feet.
We bought an old discarded manure
spreader, which was far from worn
out, and used the rear wheels, axle
and bearings of it.

The tires on these rear wheels are
six inches wide. The front wheels
are binder truck wheels, and turn
under the frame so one may turn as
short as with a two—wheeled sprayer.
The frame of the truck is of 2x6 inch
material, well bolted and stayed
where need be. Being six feet wide,
it straddles two rows and three
horses are used for hauling. An
ordinary 3-horse shaft pole device is
used.

(2) “Our pump is said to supply
250 pounds pressure on eight noz-
zles. It is run by a 21/2, H. P. gas
engine, 175 gallon tank. How many
rows will it spray?”

This outﬁt should easily supply
pressure for satisfactory. spraying of
four rows at a time. For ordinary
commercial potato growing a pres—
sure of 125 to 160- pounds with
three nozzles to the row is quite suf—
ﬁcient, and if this outﬁt is working
properly it should meet the require-
ment.

(3) “How many rows do you ad-
vise spraying at one time?”

Four. It would be quite difficult
to spray more than four rows, as
the boom would be too long. Less
than four rows causes too much
driving over vines, as well as lost
time. .

(4) “What kind of nozzle do

you recommend?”

_ The regular mist nozzle with ﬁne -
disks in it. These are not expensive.
Mail order houses supply them. .

.(5) "‘Did you make ‘ybur own
boom? ,If so, how is it made?"

Yes, we made our own boom, and
it works nicely. To describe in de—
tail how it is. made, would require
the whole of my alloted space, and,
to‘ be honest, I wouldn’t advise any-
one to try and make one like it.
Our boom is satisfactory all right,
but it required too much time to
make, and as far as cost is concerned
it cost as much as a factory made
one would. Several factories have
been studying potato spraying, and
many of these are now on the'mar-
ket with a good boom at a reason-
able price. These booms may be
purchased separate from the com-
plete sprayer, and used with any or-
chard sprayer. Right here let me
suggest that caution is required in
attaching any boom, boughten or
heme made, to the spray pump. A
potato sprayer is driven over too un-
even ground for its .well being. There
is too much vibration on the frame
and boom. If the boom is fastened
solid by piping directly to pump, it
will soon mean a loose connection
at this point, and not unfrequently
the vibration of the pipe will wear
the threads of the pump outlet so
the trouble can not be remedied.
This is one of the things a, few years
experience has taught us. So when
we rebuilt our sprayer last year We
overcame any possibility of vibration
causing trouble with pipe connec-
tions, especially at the pumpoutlet.
The pump is threaded for one-inch
pipe, and we use a long nipple for
attaching to pump.

Then an 18-inch piece of 1%-inch
heavy steam hose was slipped over
this nipple and over the next piece
of the inch discharge pipe, leaving
about six inches of hose between the
end of the'nipple and pipe. Three
hose clamps were used to clamp the
hose to each 'of these' pipes, This
six inches of hose between 'pipes
would not stand over 100: pounds
pressure, so we wrapped it very
carefully ‘ aheavy twine. It has
never lea‘lEZd one drop, and often
our pressur goes up to 300 pounds.

We shall add four more nozzles
this coming season, making 16 on
our boom, four to the row. Certi—
ﬁed. seed growers need to use a. little
extra precaution in spraying. Com-
mercial growers can well afford to
spray, but certiﬁed‘ seed growers are
required to spray at least ﬁve times
and, as their investment in the grow--
ing crop is considerable more than
for a table stock crop, they can well
aﬂord to do a little extra in the
spray line.

R. M., as well as several others,
writes he had many misshapen po—
tatoes last year and wants to know
the cause. So do I. Many early
planted potatoes last year produced
misshapen tubers. This was more
noticeable. The only explanation I
have is," the ” peculiar season.

Some think the seed was at fault.
I do not credit this, for it was the
same where the best of seed Was
used. ” '

While there have been years when

' it paid to plant late potatoes early,
, it is generally by far the better way
to “plant late potatoes late.”

‘ 1 “Michigan Apples.”

vers? Do

  
   

 numb FARMERS? .

' ' R. EDITClmh’ Reading Illur~
valuable paper of November 20,
I read the article entitled "Eat

In that article
you say you believe the farmers are.
to blame. Just why blame the term-
you suppose those in
charge tried to get them? oil, I
don't think they did. If they did.
they would have got them and-plenty
of them and most any variety. .

-Now according to your article the
football game was played at about
the ti ' when the apple picking was
atits eight and if i remember right
there are Orchards all around Lan-
sing and the co-ops from Traverse
Bay to the Indiana line and they
could not ﬁnd any Michigan apples?
1 sure ieei sorry for them and p to
think oi! them living right in the cen-
ter of Michigan Fruit Belt and sup
posed to teach our coming growers
the identical .things and then don’t

‘ , know where to get Michigan apples

themselves sounds pretty much like
a joke. And as for advertising, I
believe in it as much as anybody,
but in this particular case it would

.be absolutely useless because any-

body that lives in the orchard and
don’t know where 40 get apples
could not 'read an advertisement it
it was written all over a modern
dairy barn.

YOu ask in your article what are"

the Michigan growers going to do.
Well, I don't know what they are
going to do, but I know what I
would do it I were the one in
charge, I would resign my job.—

ington, Mich.

 

INCREASING GAME PRESERVE

EAR EDITOR: In the Detroit

Times we read of a project

that has for its object the ac-
quiring of some 13,000 acres in
Cause and Cheboygan counties by
the department of conservation at
$3.75 per acre. The claim is made
by the survey that this purchase
would give the state 20,000 acres
in one\tract as a game preserve.
What 'I' would like your service de-
partment to do is to ﬁnd where the
$50,000 purchase money is coming
from and also how the state came to
be possessed of the 7,000 acres now
owned and at what price this tract
was purchased or relicted by former
owners. It is not so very long ago
that the U. S. Government sold land
there for $2.50 per acre and still
later the State disposed of. lands at
$1.26 and again under a State home-
stead measure the State received 10
cents per acre per year for ﬁve years
along with other conditions which
gave the owner the privilege of con-
verting or abandoning (generally
abandoning after the pulp and
cooper timber was harvested) when-
ever the tax became too great to an-
nually pay. Why shouldthe State
raise the price above the ﬁgure the
land was originally sold for when
covered with torest?——E. R., Port
Hope, Michigan.

 

TRYING TO FREEZE OUT
EAR EDITOR: As I just got
through reading “V. B."s” ar-
ticle on the subject of the li-
cense to keep bees. I am, as you
would term it, a little hot under the
collar. As I am a farmer I keep a
few bees for our own honey and sell
some to our neighbors and triends.
Now this :looks to me as it this is
another case of the big fellow trying

- to freeze out the little follow. It

  

  

  

 

the big bee men could have it their

own way the honey eaters would pay
more for their honey. It bees must
be licensed or taxed, the‘way to do
it is pay so much a stand,‘ then it

1 would hit the big fellow as hard as

it would the small beekeeper.

ON LICENSING TO KEEP BEES
EAR EDITOR: I could scarcely
believe my own eyes when I
readin yonr issue/of December
18th the letter from “V. B.” regard-
ing licensing beekeepers, even in
this age when every group of tad-
dists seems to think they can have
legislation enacted to order the lives
of everybody else according to their
superior intelligence. If your cor-
respondent has heard right, all I can
say is that it is the most bare—faced,

to think that no one knows anything

We keep two or three hives of
bees, mainly for the beneﬁt at our

living, but also because we like
honey and are interested in the bees
and their work. Up to date have
spent considerably more on equip

brought in. Now comes the new;

TEXT: “Blessed are they that hunger
and thirst after righteousness; for they
shall be ﬁlled." Matthew 5:6.

RESIDENT COOLIDGE, in his
Memorial Deyi‘address, said, “A
determination to do right will

‘ be more effective than all our treat—

ies and courts, all our armies and
fleets.” This is but to keep'alive
the eternal law uttered long ago,
“Righteousness exalteth a nation,
but sin is a reproach to any people.”
It is to emphasize the central mean-
ing of our text.

Jesus, in announcing to the world
the platform of his administration,
proclaims, ﬁrst of all, the foundation
upon which all geodness is built.'He
lays this foundation in the deeps of
the heart. To ponder the Beatitudes
is to see that what one is in the

‘ inner man is to determine what one

is to be in the outer man. In the
text, desire and aspiration are ante-
cedent to righteousness.

But ﬁrst, what is righteousness?
And are men desiring to be right-
eous? Well, righteousness is some-
thing higher and different than the
standard of living set by the church
of Jesus’ day. “Except your right—

. eousness exceed 'the righteousness of

the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall
in no wise enter the kingdom of
heaven.” This form of goodness was
condemned because of a diseased mo—
tive, as seen in “Take heed that you
do not your righteousness before
men, to be seen of them.” The mo-
tive for righteousness in the earth
is the spirit expressed in “Our Fa.—
ther Who art in heaven.’ Goodness
toward our neighbor is a practical
expression of an instinctive love for
God, but whom, often, we will not
openly confess.

I have said “instinctive.” Is this
true? Do we believe, with Augus—
tine, that man is unhappy until he
ﬁnds rest in God? Then why So
much worldliness abroad? If man
is so inherently religious, why is he
so indifferent to religion’s call? If
we cannot live 'on bread alone, why
do we not give more attention to the
words of God? Have you given this
any serious thought? Have you been
tempted to give up your faith in
mankind and fall back on the mis-
taken notion of “total depravity?”
An old record has God saying that
he repented for having made man
because “the wickedness of man
was great in 'the earth, and that
every imagination of the thoughts of
his heart was only evil continually."
Now, there it is. The imagination
and thoughts of the heart get us into
trouble. Christ made the heart
central. From this center come the
controls of life. Neighbor Jones gets
up on Sunday morning and attends
to all duties but will not hear the
call to worship. He has heart trou-
ble. He furnishes son John a car
and money to attend the Sunday
baseball game but has little or noth-
ing for community righteousness.
What is the matter? The thoughts
of his heart are diseased. Why are
we so interested in so many things
under the sun but not in religion?
The. desires of the heart are super-
ﬁcial. Many of us are feeding on
the surface things of life, but God
lives in the deeps.

This brings us to the “hunger and
thirst” of the “text. We can have
peace and harmony in the life if
we are hungry for it. “Ask and it
shall be given you.’ All the rich
ﬁndings of civilization have grown
out of a deep desire of the race for
better things. Someone who has
been dissatisﬁed with the present,
and who has dreamed dreams and
seen visions, struggled, to achieve
the desire of his heart. And in pro-
portion as men follow such leaders.
does righteousness prevails Good-

. ness cannot be forced upon society.

But when we have enuf good in--
dividuals, who, in the aggregate,
form a community, we shall-have er

 community fcoﬁ'seience which shall
V. make’for public goodness.

of course, ‘will beget happiness with- ,

ﬁnally, has in view a. social end'.
even that‘of establishing the king-
dom of God on earth. So, the Gospel
evermore insists that we‘ shall not
live unto ourselves, but for others.
This brings the motive of life under
scrutiny.

fessing Christian. He had attained
to what the world calls success.‘But,
a few days before his death he
poured out his heart to the writer
because he had lived mainly to ac-
cumulate property and not charac-
ter. How well this man knew at the
last that righteousness is of charac—
ter, and not of mere profession!
How well he knew that soon and all
alone he would have to meet his
God to risk approval or disapproval
on the basis of internal possessions
rather than external. Does this not
say that in the deeps of the heart
of every man God is working? God
as a spirit, appeals to man as a
spirit. To mind the things of the
ﬂesh and live in the realm of the
sensuous, is to cut off correspon-
dence with God. But when one
hungers and thirsts after goodness
one is responding to the deep in-
stincts of the soul. These abide in
all men and when fed, will lead to
a full and satisfying life.

Just so. “Blessed are they for
they shall be ﬁlled.” An old prophet
sees the time when the earth shall be
ﬁlled with the knowledge of Jehovah
as the waters cover the sea. If this
be true now; if righteousness Were
generally diffused; we could disband
our armies, junk our navies, and re-
duce our taxes correspondingly. In
their stead we could build up flour-
ishing departments of education,
commerce, and agriculture. Legis-
lation would be reduced to a min-
imum; crime, vice, poverty, and dis-
ease would all but’ disappear; and
arbitral settlements would close up
the courts. This is a ﬁne, 'high
dream for the race, and until it
comes to pass, Christianity must
continue to do battle for a social
heaven.

But, in the meantime, the individ-
ual may be blessed through an in-
ward desire for God. Without this
passion, all happiness is external and
will fail under pressure from a dis-
eased and disordered civilization. It
seems the present order is not fac-
ing the real issues of life, and it will
not until God has his chance. But
we except some elect individuals.
You know of some folks whom God
is using in a wonderful way to
spread the perfume of Christ in their
communities.

Perhaps there is no time in life
when we appreciate more fully the
blessing of a hungry heart, than at
that time when our house is almost
fallen, and we get that startling im-
pression that we have sojourned
here but a few mortal years . It is
then we throw ourselves upon God.
David expresses this sense of depen-
dence in “God is my refuge and
strength, a very present help in
trouble.” Then why be so absorbed
in the things of sense? We cannot
avoid the inevitable. In that day we
all shall desire forgiveness in our
sins, comfort in our sorrow, strength
in our frailty, and life in our death.
“And now Lord, what wait. I for?
My hope is in thee.” ' .

THE WOLF ALSO shall dwell with
the lamb, and the leopard shall lie
down with the kid; and the calf
and the young lion and the failing

EARLY FROST BLAMED FOR
“ MILK SHDMAGE ’
INTER-FRESH cows are bring-
ing relief to Michigan from
one of the greatest milk and
cream shortages in recent years. For
weeks large industrial cities of the
State have had barely enough milk
and‘cream to supply the demand.
The situation became so critical in
some instances that it was necessary
for creameries to draw milk from
territory which normally sells all of
its production to condenseries,
cheese factories and creameries en-
gaged in the manufacture of butter.

Dairymen attribute the shortage
to the killing frost which caught
most of Michigan’s corn crop on
September 26 before it had been
stored in silos. They have had great
difficulty. maintaining production pn
frosted ensilage.. Some have in-
creased the grain ration in the hope
of checking the slump in milk flow,
but results have been disappointing,
except in herds receiving alfalfa hay.
Alfalfa hay of good quality was
found to be better in keeping up a
normal milk production than addi-
tional grain and ensilage.

Some herds have produced well on
frosted ensilage. ‘These instances,
however, are on farms where the
frosted ensilage was “watered” as it
was run into the silos. Water was
piped into the silo and the ensilage
was sprayed between loads.

While there has been a shortage
of milk, dairymen have hesitated
about advancing prices to consumers
as they preferred not to risk upset-
ting the normal consumption of their
dairy product. There is a feeling
that the shortage is temporary and
that it would be better to have the
cities consuming more milk than
could be produced than to have a
large surplus to pull down the av-
erage price. There has been no sur-
plus milk in Grand Rapids since
early last fall and farmers have been
receiving ﬂuid milk prices for their
entire production.

SHORTHORN BREEDERS FAVOR
UNIVERSAL TB TEST 1
UNIVERSAL test of cattle for
tuberculosis instead of the pres-
ent county system is favored by
the membership of the Central Mich-
igan Shorthorn Cattle Breeders’ As-
sociation. \\

Criticism of thegcounty system
centered chieﬂy in t e danger of in-
fection from cattle in nearby un-
tested counties. They believed a
universal test covering the whole
state instead of one county at a time
would safeguard against infection.
A wire fence, in their opinion, is a
poor isolation barrier for infected
cattle, especially in communities
where the line fence also happens to
be the county line between tested
and untested territories.

Officers of the association are:
President, August Waldo, Morley;
vice-president, C. W. Crum, Mc-
Bride; secretary-treasurer, Oscar
Skinner, Gowen; directors, Dr. Wil-
liam Hansen, Greenville, and Oscar
E. Hansen, Sand Lake.

RATION FOR DAIRY COWS

I would like to know a good ra-
tion for dairy cows. I have plenty
of hay, half clover and half timothy,
peas, oats, barley and wheat to be
ground. The grain is not ﬁrst class.
The oats and wheat are poor. Please
tell me what part of each will be
best in the ration.———A. P., Stalwart,
Michigan.

NOTE that you have mixed hay of
I clover and timothy and wish to

use peas, oats, barley and wheat.
None of these feeds themselves are
very high in protein content, as peas
are the highest in' protein, carrying
over 19 per cent, but the barley, oats
and wheat are all below 10 per cent.
I, notice that the cats and wheat are
somewhat damaged. It v-will be, no-

If it is desired that cattle be tu-

application be made to the Depart-

cover the test and that a local ap-

do the work. This arrangement will
permit of an approved test being
conducted and assure the owner of

EARLY F {DST BLAMED FOR
BULK SHORTAGE
INTER-FRESH cows are bring~
V6 ins; relief to Michigan from
one of the greatest milk and
cream shortanes in recent: years. For
Weeks large, industrial cities of the
State have had barely enough milk
and cream to supply the demand.
The situation became, so eritieal in
some instances that it: was necessary
for creameries to draw milk from
territory which normally sells all of
its production to condenseries,
cheese factories and creameries en-
gaged in the. manufacture of butter.
llaii'yiiien attribute the sliortaiije
to the killine; frost, which caught
most of l\li<-lii;xau's corn crop on
September 2t; before it tad been
stored in silos. 'l‘ln-y have had great
difficulty maintaining produt‘tion on
frosted . eusilae‘e. Some hare iii—

are the, highest in protein, carrying

and wheat, are all below 10 per cent.
I notice, that the oats and wheat are
somewhat, damaged. It will be, ne—
cessary for you to buy some high
protein feed in order to bring the
protein content up to the amount,
that will be required to supplement
the roughage of clover and timothy
hay. Since cottonseed meal and lin-
seed meal are usually available I
would recommend that these be used
to supplement the protein content or

the mixture. I Would therefore sug-
gest a grain mixture consisting of
1:00 pounds ground oats, 200 pounds
ground barley, 200 pounds ground
wheat, 300 pounds around peas, 200
pounds cottonseed, 100 pounds lin—

seed meal. I Would really prefer
this ration to contain 200 pounds

linseed oil meal and only 100
pounds eottounseed meal but be,—
eauso linseed meal is selling: this
year for ten to tifteen dollars a ton
more than cottonseed meal I recom-
mend more cottonseed meal and less

WE'LL SEE YOU FARMERS’ WEEK

’8 time you were making plans to get over to

East Lansing to Farmers’ Week at Michigan

State College, January 3lst to February 5th.
Yes, we know there is a couple of weeks yet, but
you shouldn't put oil your plans until the last
minute—and then maybe not be able to get
away. Nobody to take care of the livestock
while you are away, or something like that. No
sir, don’t be putting it off any longer than you
have to. And you know the wife always likes
to know for sure about any trip at least a couple
of weeks ahead so that she can alter her last
year’s dress, or get some new clothes, or do
some of those other things that she feels must
be done before she can get away for a few days
and enjoy herself while she is away.

Furthermore, don’t ﬁgure on leaving the young
folks home to take care of things because they
are just as anxious to live and learn as’you are——
possibly more.

If you leave your son home he will think sure
as the dickens that you are afraid he might learn
something that would show up your farming me-
thods. Take him along and prove you are
broadminded.

Who will you get to do the chores? Why, hire
one of your neighbors, who ﬁgures he can't pos-
sibly spare the time and money. Then next sum-
mer he will wonder how it is that your crops
look so much better than his even though you do
not seem to be working any harder than he is.

Now don’t forget, we plan to so you over at
East Lansing during Farmers’ Week. And re-
member what we said about bringing the rest
of the folks. You can cal it a vacation.

 

A MESSAGE TO OUR BOYS

ESIDENT COOLIDGE issued a most inspir-

ing New Year’s greeting to the boys of our

nation interested in club work, such as Boy
Scouts, Lone Scouts, and Four-H Clubs, and we
are quoting it here: A

“As we go into the New Year, I send you
my greetings and best wishes for health and
happiness in the coming twelve months.

"In my holiday message a year ago I pointed
out the many advantages of membership in asso-
ciations such as yours. If we should try to ex-
press their principles in a single word, that word,
it seems to me, would be “Helpfulness.” You
help others, and you help yourself by helping
others.

“I congratulate you on the accomplishments
of 1926, and know you will have abundant op—
portunities for usefulness in 1927. We get hap-
piness from doing our duty, further happiness
. from doing a little more than is necessary, and
, from doing things as near right as we can.
“Our communities and our country are the
‘ better because of what you boys and girls are,
? what you do, and what you will mean to our
social and economic life as the men and“ women
01 the future."

. How true it is that the beneﬁts from club
work are many, and back of all this work tribe

’1 theMtthstnenrofourcountryboy-murlg,

  

   
 
 

. an t. LO, ,

thought that some day his children om take
charge (if his business and carry on where he
left off, just as interested in the business as he
is, is an inspiration to any man.‘ ' '

 

 

WHY IS IT? .

HY is it that a farmer will feed his livestock

materials of unknown composition? Why

will he let an agent he has never seen
before, and has no way of knowing whether or
not he is telling the truth, sell him a supposed
cure for some disease his poultry or other live-
stock is said to be suffering .from?

Recently there has been going about the State
a man selling a remedy to kill chicken lice. You
put it in fowls' drinking water and within a
short time the lice are supposed to drop on dead.
Any company putting up a remedy in which they
have faith prints on the label what it is made
up of. It is net necessary to give away the com-
plete formula, but by telling what it is composed
of—not the amount of each ingredient—one is
able to decide whether it contains anything that
would prove beneﬁcial to the animal to which
it is to be fed or rubbed on. However, this
chicken lice remedy company failed to do this,
and the only reasonable conclusion one can draw
is that they did not care to .tell the public any too
much about their product. ’

Perhaps if the poultryman really knew what
was in that so-called remedy he would ﬁnd that
he could go to the drug store and.buy an equally
as good medicine for a small fraction of the
cost. We think there is little doubt but what
he could, because experts have found that most
of these "cures" are either of harmless composi-
tion and no value, or contain materials in com—
mon use which may be obtained at a much less
cost and in a. very much more efficient form
on the market. This not only applies to the
poultryman but the stockman as well.

And if this was restricted to the livestock only
it would be serious enough, but many people
.put their own lives in the hands of traveling or
mail-order doctors, or depend on quacks to cor-
rectly ﬁt their eyes to glasses. Perhaps they are
no more ﬁtted to diagnose disease and prescribe
remedies or ﬁt eyes to glasses than a rabbit.

If they were doctors of high standing it would
be unnecessary for them to travel about the
country or conduct their business by mail. They
could build up a practice in one locality that
would keep them busy the rest of their days on
this earth. Some may pose as experts but of all
reliable doctors the expert 'would have the
least need to travel for his patients as he is

SOUND ADVICE

HE biggest job of the milk producers’ assoeic
ciations is not the dispOsition of, the milk
. produced by their members, but the cur~
tailment of the production so that it is not “in
excess of the demand. That is the opinion of a
well-known manufacturer of dairy and poultry
feeds, and it is quite a statement to come from
such a man, considering that curtailed produc-
tion means feeding a fewer number of cows. And
a nice thing about it is that it is the truth.

By raising heifer calves from only pure-bred
sires out of heavy-producing‘dams, and then
only in sufficient numbers to renew the herd
losses, keeps the efﬁciency of the herd up to the
high point. The heifer calf from the scrub bull
develops into a "boarder" and dairymen can not”
afford to keep even one in their herds. The
“boarder” or prospective “boarder” should go
to the slaughter house, and the sooner the better.

It is the surplus that causes trouble in the
marketing of any product, regardless of where
it is produced, but particularly perishable farm

products, and when production is " arranged so, .\

there is no surplus our troubles will be over.
But how long before that day will come?

 

\ PRISPEO'IB GOOD FOR 1927

IT is the opinion of William M. Jardine, Sec-
retary of Agriculture, that we can look for-

ward to 1927 with reasonable conﬁdence as
far as agriculture is concerned. Of course, much
depends on the weather, he points out, but with a
normal growing season and some readjustment
of certain acreages like cotton, prospects for
1927 are favorable as compared with returns. for‘
1926, and may more nearly parallel returns of.
1925.

“It is true that the last year proved a dis-
appointment to many farmers,” he says, “par?
ticularly those hit by low prices of cotton, gra -
'and fruit, likewise by regional drought, floods
and troubles like the hog cholera epidemic. 0n
the other hand, many producers of potatoes, win-
ter wheat, sheep, dairy products and poultry did
well last year.

“The livestock industries are the stabilising
factor in the situation. There are about the
same number of cattle on feed as last year and
a few more sheep and lambs. The hog supply for
market will apparently be no greater this com-
ing year, hence the price should stay at favorable
levels. The same appears to hold true for milk.
Poultry raisers are making some proﬁt and are
optimistic." ‘

 

REWARDIN G GOOD momma

THE International Association of Automobile
Traffic Officers. have started a world wide

movement to reward motorists who are good
drivers. An automobile owner who has not been
arrested for speeding, reckless or drunken driv-
ing or ﬁgured in any serious collission for a
year is awarded a Good Conduct Emblem for his
car by the Association. In this way they hope to
create a spirit of cooperation and understanding
between the motorist, the pedestrian, the traﬂic
officer and the judge. Certainly the idea has,
merits and is worth trying out.

 

PETER PLOW’S PHILOSOPHY

It don’t seem hardly fair to have Christmas
and New Year so close together 'cause after
eatin’ a big Christmas feed a feller can’t get his
stomach into shape in such a short time 'so's to
enjoy his New Year’s dinner. I’ll have to write
Congress to see if New Years can be changed to
’bout the ﬁrst of February. .

 

»Some of these sewin’ circle meetin’s of city
women might be called organ recitals seein’ as
how most of them present talks about the oper- ~
ations they've had. ' .

NECK‘TIE- TYLER '

N the last issue we told you some-
thing about “Necktie Tyler,” an-
other blind tie salesman, and

stated that we were looking him up.
We. nowhave a letter from the St.
Louis Better Business Bureau advis-
ing that as near, as they have been
able to ascertain “Necktie Tyler” is
working with one Jacob Karchmer,
whose name is mentioned in con-
nection with reports on “Paunee
Bill." Mr. Karchmer, according to
the Bureau, is a well known St.
Louis promoter, who has been in
difficulty in connection with promo-
tions exploiting the blind; as well as
other enterprises using a “charity”
,appeal, and now operates what is
known as .the Mississippi Valley
Knitting Mills. It is understood that
he organized this company to carry
on a direct mailbusiness.

ND still they keep coming! “Dad

the latest direct mail tie sales—

man to come to our attention. I-Iis

tigating him. '

It must be that folks are falling
for the bait or there would not be so
many of these fellows in the busi-
ness. It has not been our good for-
tune to receive any of these ties but
many readers we have heard from

declare they are worth only about.

10c each so there must be a nice pro-
ﬁt in the business.

 These men operated the Acme
 Farms with addresses at both Gaines-

? ville, Florida, and La Grange, Texas,



since last summer, but the oﬂicials
had considerable diﬂiculty in getting

,suﬁlcient information to put them

out of business, until recently. They
also advertised chickens for sale at
bargain prices under the name of
“Fulghum Hatchery, Birdsboro, Pa.”,
and honey was offered to the public
at $1.75 per 10 pounds, shipping
charges paid, under the name of
“Busy Bee Apiary, Roslyn, N. Y.”
In most cases, it is alleged, shipments
were not made, so they could well
afford to quote bargain prices in their
advertising. Letters now addressed
to any of these concerns are being
returned unopened to the senders by
the post ofﬁce department.

OUR STORY UP TO DATE ’

R. CHAFFIN’S story, which won second prize in our pioneer letter
contest, began in our January lst issue.
the year of 1854., in the state of Ohio whom he was born, he

tells us of the hardships inde as the pioneers made their

children were stricken with scarlet
fever. Two of the three dying near-
ly at the same time, ages respective-
ly, over two years of age and about
six months, left the writer, then ﬁve
years old, the only child in the fam-
ily. The two were laid away in
their little home made caskets,
across the swale run on a piece of
ground in a rise of ground in the
Lord’s great cemetery, all outdoors,
it being the only one available at
that time. There the sun shone
brightest and the birds sang their
sweetest songs all day.

“In the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolate murmurs go
Lovineg laden with flowers
Mute emblems of aﬁection
and woe."

So said the poet, so it was with
my parents, though after the death
of their two dear children, their
heart-strings were bleeding and it
was not theirs to give way to sor-
rowful repining but to bow in hum-
ble submission to the will of Provi-
dence and the Divine Power that
watches even the sparrow's fall.
They set forth to the Herculean task
of carving out a. home in the wilder-
ness far removed from their old
home and friends, relatives and as—
sociates of earlier years, with the
exception of the relatives and neigh—
bors who comprized the bunch who
came with them from northern Ohio.
During the years and months of
trials, hardships, and triumphs in-
cident to pioneer life, these friends
were appreciated beyond compre-
hension.

Some of the events of which I
write will seem perhaps to have
rather a personal flavor but I would
say that I have been in a. majority
of the scenes nearly all of my life
and my experience is similar and
many of the events recorded are the
same that many of my fellow pi-
oneers were witnesses to and actors
in in those early days that truly
“tried men’s souls.”

The Graduation Act

One cause of the great influence
to this new country was this: In
1859 the people in congress assem-
bled and enacted a law. The act
was known as the graduation act,
reducing land in Michigan to actual
settlers to We an acre. From good
evidence it is an assured fact that
all did not get the beneﬁt of this
act. There seems to have been
grafters in these days and some of
them get themselves attached to the
land office at Ionia availing them-

. selves of inside information and the.

knowledge obtained from land look-
ers and settlers _to beat and bleed
those seeking to avail themselves'of
aid to secure for themselves homes
under the set. This they did in the.

ty on a state road starting at Lan-
slng and running north later to the
limits bf civilization. The township
surface is rolling and this fact aided
1n its rapid settlement, after the
inﬂux had started in 1854. Its na-
tural drainage being Bear Creek on
the south through to Maple River,
and the Grand and on the north the
drainage is Reed River on to Sagi-
naw, being an advantage in a wet
season over the more flat portions
of the country.

We had not even imagined an
auto,airplane,telephone, phonograph,
rural mail delivery or a radio. My
father passed away to his reward in
1874 never having seen a. self—binder
or a steam thresher. All these
changes, discoveries, and inventions
are now enjoyed by this county, once
a wilderness, land where the “In-
dian hunter wooed his dusky mate,
where the wolf and the red deer
wandered and the wild fox dug his
hole unscared."

LotsofAnimals

Speaking of deer! A fawn was
considered an ideal pet by the
pioneer children if caught while
still wearing its spotted coat. I re-
member some brave hunters wearing
9. spotted fawn skin vest and per-
haps a muskrat or a coon skin cap.

Bears were also plentiful. In 00—
tobsr 1856 one was liable to meet
one anywhere. There was an abun-
dance of acorns, which was presum-
ably the cause of their being so
numerous. Oaks were scratched by
their nails and the tops trimmed of
their small branches. The bear
would climb the trees, break 01!,
branches, drop them to the ground,
then get down and gather the
acorns. The writer when a boy
saw a large fattened hog, when
dressed, its back covered with scars
made from the attack by a bear that
failed to carry it off when a pig.
A bear that weighed 494 and hide 52
pounds was killed. Addison Hay-
der trapped them successfully.

conscientious objectors as far as
dancing was concerned we generally
honored them by not attending these
sources of amusement and are not

CHERRY-CIDER?

URING the Grand Rapids meet-
‘ ing of the Michigan State Hor-
, ticultural Society an announce-
_ment was made which created a stir
‘in the . audience. This announce-
r ment was made
that one road-
side stand in
Michigan h a (1,
during the past
summer, 3 o l (1
10,000 gallons
of cherry cider
W H I C H WAS
NOT CHERRY
CI D E R. Ten
thousand gallons
of colored water,
(flavored ‘wit h
chemicals a n d
sold to a trust-
. ing public who
thought they were getting pure cher-
ry cider from Michigan’s famous or-
chards. We do not wonder that this
announcement assumed the propor-
tions of a scandal and was talked of
with bated breath in the corridors

and lobbies after the meeting.

What’s to be done? Are Michigan
fruit men going to let one of their
best potential market outlets go
down to disrepute and ruin, or will
they make it possible for the thirsty
public to obtain pure health—giving
fruit juice without fear of decep—
tion?

We believe that. in this matter the
fruit men could learn much from
their brothers the dairymen. Would
the dairymen allow artiﬁcially col-
ored oleo to be placed on the market
as fresh creamery butter, with the
word “imitation” in small letters at
the‘bottom of the carton? Not on

they wouldn’t!

Why then do fruit growers allow
the words fruit, grape, cherry, ap-
ple, raspberry, and other fruit names
to appear on bottles of a liquid
which centains very little, and in
most cases no fruit juice of any
kind.

Here is a case where legislation
can help the farmer and at the same
time protect the consumer. A “truth
in fruit juices” law should be on the
statute books. Let the manufactur-
ers of synthetic soft drinks call their
concoctions “cool-ade” or “loco-
bola’ or any other names which their
imaginations suggest, but, fruit
names should be applied only to
fruit products.

FERTILIsz GROUND IN
ORCHARD

Please tell me how to handle an
orchard that is in sod. Is it better
to plow it or mulch it? What kind
of fertilizer shall I use? When is
the best time to apply fertilizer?
Thanking you very much.-——A. E. F.,
Litchﬁeld, Mich.

F the orchard site is exceedingly
rough and hilly" then it had best
be mulched. If it can be plowed

and cultivated then by all means
plow it. Plow it as soon as you can
get on the ground in the spring and
plow shallow.

thoroughly cultivated until the ﬁrst
or second week in July. Just before
the last cultivation sow a cover crop,
or, if a thick stand of weeds can be
depended upon, just let the weeds
grow.

The best fertilizer for an orchard
is one that is high in quickly avail-
able nitrogen, such as nitrate of
soda or sulphate of ammonia. Spread
the fertilizer on top of the ground
under the. outer branches of each
tree. The fertilizer should be ap-
plied three weeks before the trees
blossom. Ordinarily about seven
pounds of nitrate of soda is enough
for an old apple tree. This amount
will vary according to the age of the
tree and according to the amount of
growth the tree is making. A weak
slow growing tree naturally needs
more fertilizer than one that is mak-
ing a strong healthy growth.

SOUTH HAVEN PEACH

I would like to know if I could
get a peach tree called Grand Hav-
en? If there is a peach tree like
that or could you tell me what kind
of peach is good for our section of
the country? We live one hundred
miles north of Detroit.-—H. S., Vas-
sar, Michigan.

E believe that the peach which
you have reference to is the
South Haven. This is a com-

paratively new variety. It is a yellow
ﬂeshed peach of good quality which
ripens about two weeks before El-
.berta. One of its important char-
acteristics is its ability to resist low
temperatures. South Haven trees
have been known to bear a crop
when other varieties were all killed
by frost. We know of no reason
Why the South Haven peach would
not do well in your section of the
state. Trees of this variety can be
procured from most of the leading
nurseries.

PRUNING APPLES

Would you please send me some
literature or advice in regards to the
pruning of apple trees?—J. 0., Car-
sonville, Michigan.

E would advise you to give your
v; apple trees a light pruning

every year. This is much bet-
ter than an occasional heavy pruning
as it is less liable to throw a tree
out of balance. Thin out small and
medium sized brnaches’ so that sun—
light can reach all parts of the tree.
Do not cut off large limbs if you can
possibly avoid it. Of course dead
branches will have to come out. In
all cases make the cuts close to an-
other branch being careful not to
leave any stubs.

$18,000 FROM 25-ACRE STRAW-
BERRY PLOT

F you sold $18,000 worth of straw-
berries in one season from a 25-
acre patch you would think that

was pretty good, wouldn’t you?
That is what F. J. Thar, Benton
Harbor fruit grower, did this last
year. Fruit growers say it is a re-
cord for Michigan and possibly the
middlewest.

EAR girls and boys: Time we

had another contest, isn’t it?

Well, I think so too, so we will
start one right here and now. We
have had puzzle contests, joke con—
tests, story contests, “Read and
Win" contests, and drawing contests,
and they have all been very popular,
but this one is something different.
We will call it “Life’s Most Embar-
rassing Moment” contest, and you
are to write in about the most em-

barrassing moment in your life that

you can recall. Moat of us have
many embarrassing moments during
our life and I think the main difﬁ~
culty is to tell which one is the most
embarrassing. However, there is
generally one that stands out more
than any other and I want you to
write me about that particular one.
I may publish some of the letters in
the writers have no objections, but
if they have and will so state in
their letters you may be sure they
will not be printed, as I do not want
to cause them any more embarrass-
ing moments if I can help it.

The few rules to observe are: The
embarrassing moment you write of
must be true and taken from your
own life; you must sign your com-
plete name, address and age to your
letter; you must conﬁne your letter
to not more than 200 words; and
your letter must be in this office by
January 25th.

Six prizes are to be awarded, three
for the boys and three for the girls.
Among the boys First Prize will be
a flashlight, second Prize a dandy
jackknife, and Third Prize a nickel
pencil. The prizes for the girls will
be a camera for First Prize, a nice
book for Second Prize, and a nickel
pencil for Third Prize. Also I will
send buttons to the ﬁrst ten to send
in their letters who have not re-
ceived a button yet.

Before closing my letter I want
to thank the boys and girls who sent
me Christmas cards. I sent cards in
return to all who signed their name
and address but a few failed to do
this so I did not know who the cards
were from.——UNCLE NED.

 

 

Our Boys and Girls

 

Dear Uncle Ned:-—May I join your
merry circle? I have been reading ygur
paper for quite a while and thought I
would like to join it. I am sure you have
good times.

Well, I guess I will describe myself, so
you can imagine, if not tell, what I look
like. I am eleven years old, four feet
eleven inches tall, have brown hair, light
complexion and blue eyes.

I am earning Christmas money so I
will tell you how I am earning it. I do
chores for my father at twenty—ﬁve cents
a. week. This is what I do: Get in the
wood at night, help around the barn and
sometimes feed the sheep. I help my
mother also by dusting and sweeping and
doing dishes. During the summer I earn—
ed enough money to buy a saddle and
bridle for my horse. I love to ride horse-
back, don’t you, Uncle Ned? Then I
earned enough money to buy myself a
new dress and am now earning my Christ-
mas money. I got twenty dollars out of
twenty nice Plymouth Rocks I raised this
vlast summer also.

We live on a one hundred and twenty-
acre farm. The next time I write (it
I see this letter in print) I will tell you
more about the farm. I wish some of
the boys and girls would write to me.
Will close with my best regards to Uncle
Ned. Your want-to—be niece,———Mildred
Jeffers, Route 5, Albion, Michigan.
———You are quite a business—like young
lady, aren’t you? I hope you were able
to earn enough to purchase all of the
presents you wished to. As for riding
horseback, I did enjoy it when I was a
boy but now you know the wind always
blows 'my whiskers up over my eyes, so

' I cannot see where the horse is taking

me.

 

Dear Uncle N‘edz—I have never written
to you before so may I join your merry
c' cle? I have been "reading the Chil-
d a ’2; Hour for about two years. I» like

and two brothers. One of my brothers
was just born this summer, July the 29th.
He weighed 8% pounds when he was
born. He is fat and big for luggage. He
is four months old and he is starting to
eat cookies and cream of wheat.-

We had a Thanksgiving dinner at our
school, and we had contests too. One
of our contests was a bottle on the ﬂoor
and you had to stand up straight with
your hand over the bottle and we had
20 pennies and the one who got the most

in the bottle got the prize. The prize

was a picture already to put on the wall.
Another contest was some kernels of corn
in. a bottle and,We were to guess how

 

NEVER ABSENT OR TARDY
Orin Fowler, who lives near Brant, Sagi-
naw county, has a. school record that he
can be very proud of. He has not missed
one day at school or been tardy once in
[our years. Isn’t that womlerful? How
many others can claim such a record?
Orin is 12 years old and attends the Mo-
Fall school which is a little over a mile
from his home.

many there were in the bottle. The prize
for that was a bottle of bath salts. We
took the word Thanksgiving and saw who
could make the most words out ’of it.
The prize for that was a pink handker-
chief. For the little people the one who
could make. the funniest face got the
prize.

I was going to write to you before.
Uncle Ned, but I didn’t know your ad-
drem and my little brother kept me from
reading some of the letters. I went and
read the letters I didn’t get and I found

‘your address. My friend wants to write

to ypu too and she didn’t know your ad-
dress neither. When I see her I will tell
her your address. Please put my letter
in print so she can see it because she
said maybe our letters would not be in
print.

If I find my letter in print I will tell
you some more of my good times and
hope the other cousins will write to me.
I am your want—to-be-niece,—Erie Kutzs
ke, Route 2, Auburn, Michigan.

—-—By all means tell us more about the
good times you have.

Dear Uncle Nedz—This is the first time
I have written to you. I started reading
THE BUSINESS FARMER two years ago and
enjoy it very much. Well, I will describe
myself as they all do. I live on an eighty
acre farm. I have one brother and one
sister gone. I am 11 years old, have
light brown hair, blue eyes, am 4 feet, 10
inches in height and weigh 93 pounds. I
am in the eighth grade at school. I like
to go to school quite well. My parents
intend to send me through high school
to be a teacher. For pets I have one dog,
his name is Tag and three cats. Well,
this will be all for this time. I hope Mr.
Waste Basket is fast asleep instead of
having his mouth wide open to gobble my

. letter up. Ella Salzwell, Route 2, Oakley,

Michigan.

—-There must always be the first time to
anything, Ella, but I hope this will not
be the last time you write to me.

EFORE you start work on

your next potato crop, look

back a moment at your last
year’s results._ .

Were you satisﬁed with your yield
per acre? Was your production cost
per bushel low enough to give you
a good proﬁt? Did you. get a lot of
ﬁrsts or were there too many culls? ..

“ Did your crop suﬁ‘er badly from
disease, insect attacks or frost injury?

If your crop was poor in any of
these respects, this is the time to
decide how to make your heft crop
a better one.

It will pay you to look into your
rotation, your seed, and preparation
of your seed bed, and also into feed-
ing your crop plenty of potash in the
form of a wellabalanced mixed fer-
tilizer. For potash helps to increase
yield, strengthens the vines, aids
starch to form in the tubers (a big
factor in quality) and assists the plant
to better ﬁght disease and insect
attacks, and to withstand frost.

It is important to check up on the
actual number of pounds of potash
which your crop receives. Good
proﬁts have been made when 50 to
75 lbs. of actual potash was supplied
per acre. These amounts can be had
in 800 to 1,275 pounds per acre of a
high analysis fertilizer containing
6% potash, such as 4-8-6 or 2-12-6; or
in 500 to 750 lbs. of a 10% potash
high analysis mixture. Many success-
ful growers specify sulfate of potash
in their mixtures because of its favor- -
able eﬂ‘ect on quality.

BEET GROWERS GET OVER

$50 PER ACRE

TOTAL of 67,000 tons of sugar

beets passed through the Co—

lumbia Sugar Co.’s plant at

Mount Pleasant in the past season.

This was 19,000 tons less than in

1925‘, but the sugar content of the:
beets was slightly higher.

Despite unfavorable weather con-
ditions only about 76 acres of beets
remained unharvested when the sea-
son closed, factory officials state.

Farmers of central Michigan were
given checks totaling $519,250 for
the beats received at the Mount
Pleasant factory. This represented
an average return to the farmer of
slightly more than $50 an acre.

Columbia executives say there was
less loss to the farmers in the sugar
territory surrounding Mount Pleas-
ant because of unseasonable weather
than in any other district in Michi-
gan, because operations started here
nearly two weeks in advance of
other factories, made possible by the
fact the local concern has facilities
for direct factory delivery.

FARMS IN U. P. INCREASE 20
PER CENT IN 5 YEARS
HE number of farms in the Up-
per Peninsula has increased
approximately 20 per cent in
the last ﬁve years, United States
government ﬁgures reveal. Alger,
Gogebic, Iron, Keweenaw, Mackinac,
Marquette, Ontonagon and School-
craft counties showed more than a
20 'per cent increase. This record
is regarded as very good in view of
the consolidation of many farms.

'HERE AND THERE IN MICHIGAN
HE champion Boys’ and Girls’
Club member in Michigan for
1926 is Gladys Egger of Topaz,
Ontonagon county, to whom State
Club officials have awarded a trip to

Probably no ’single feature of Dodge Brothers
Motor Car has been more widely talked about
and commended than the power and prompmess

of the starter.

The new two-unit starting and lighting system
now advances Dodge Brothers leadership in this

important respect still further.

There are now no moving starter parts when the
car is in motion—no starter chain—no noise—no
wear. The new starter is even more DEPEND-
ABLE than the old, and far simpler and more

compact in construction.

Many other major improvements have been added
during the past twelve months, all vitally affecting 7  l
/

performance and increasing value far beyond the
apparent measure of current Dodge Brothers prices.

MUCH ILLNESS AVOIDABLE
HE ﬁrst of the year is a good
time to take stock of one’s self
._ and make a start toward reduc-
ing the sickness and its attendant
loss in time and money.

How many times during the past
year did you feel below par or per-
haps were so ill you could not at-
 tend to your regular duties? Do you
know why you had such days? Was
.it your own fault because you did
, not choose your food wisely, eat at
"regular hours, sleep and rest suf-
ﬁciently, or consult your family
M physician when you felt poorly? It
is often the minor ailments that de—
 velop into more serious illness. Colds
,,-are the chief offenders and they
,often follow a period of over—indul-
gence in rich food, irregular hours,
and lack of sleep. Consult your phy-
sician as soon as trouble arises and
do_ not wait to see him until you go
in sheer desperation because your
own remedies have been unsuccess-
ful. ‘

Vegetables, fruits, and milk are
the foods which we should resolve
to use in generous quantities to keep
the body in good running condition.
Too many sweets, starches and fats
clog the system and prevent the reg-
ular action of body processes. Each
day of the year, winter and summer,
the meals should include: two kinds
of vegetables other than potatoes,
two kinds of fruits, from one pint
to one quart of milk, some whole
grain cereal, and some protein food,
such as ﬁsh, meat, eggs, or cheese.
After these essential foods have been
eaten, a limited amount of sweets
could be added to the meals. It
requires thought in planning the
family meals to have these necessary
foods served in an appetizing and
attractive way but the reward of hav—
ing a healthy family with keen ap—
petites eat three good meals a day,
well repays mother for her efforts.

- COLLEGE REACHING NEARLY
’ 20,000 FARM WOMEN
EPOR‘I‘S issued by the M. S. C.
indicate that from September,
1926, to June, 1927, the home
economics extension projects, car-
ried on by the College, will have
reached 19,040 farm women in this
state. According to Mrs. Louise
' Campbell, state home demonstration
leader, there are 1,012 local leaders
enrolled in the 37 counties doing the
project work. These leaders repres-
sent 50 different communities or
local groups.

Although the total number of
women enrolled in each group is not
deﬁnitely know, it is assumed to be
at least 16, which means that ap-
proximately 9,280 women are par-
ticipating in the projects this year.

‘; A check is also made upon the
'~ spread of the influence. Mrs. Camp-
bell states that according to her
“computation, each woman enrolled
aims to pass suggestions to at least
 non-member, increasing the
number to 15,560.
3 "If the'number of local leaders is
ded to this,” she says, “the total
7 lot home economics extension
rejects for 1926-2“? is 19,040.”
our separate projects are being
sued in' Michigan 'this year—
.management, home decoration,
- - .‘and nutrition. The “inter-
‘ ration' is a new line of work,

EAR FOLKS: During the past few weeks 'we have received,

_ many requests for songs, and with the assistance of our good
readers, we have been able to get copies of the songs wanted,

but owing to shortage of space we have been unable to print them.
so we have mailed copies to the ones requesting them, whenever
complete name and address was furnished. However, a few neglected
to supply this neccessary information and they are still waiting for
their songs. These songs will be sent just as soon as‘they send in

Many letters come to us signed “Mrs. M." or “A Reader," or some
other abbreviation, which makes it impossible for us to serve .the
readers as we desire to. Without the complete name and address a
letter cannot be delivered, so whenever you write in — and we hope
that will be often — sign your complete name and address. We
promise you that your name will not appear in print in M. B. F.

We are always glad to help you in any way we can and could
you see the Editor’s basket of mail every morning you would realize

nishing their homes, to add to the
beauty and comfort of the rooms.
Music appreciation is also carried on
in most of the counties, and through
the use of Victrola records, the wo-
men learn songs and games which
they can teach to their children as
well as lullabies of a soothing nature
to be sung “beside the cradle."

 

SEVERAL FRUITS PREVENT
RICKETS
0 baby need have bow-legs or
other crooked bones from rick-
ets, when foods containing the
rickets preventing vitamin C are
available the entire year. In addi-
tion to oranges, this vitamin is found
in lemou, grapefruit and tomato.
The strained fruit juice should be di-
luted with water when the baby is
very young. By the time he is one
year old he may take the juice
straight.

UNBLEACHIED MUSLIN MAKES
INEXPENS'IVE CURTAINS ‘

BLEACHED muslin of a medi-

l] um grade makes satisfactory

curtains at a moderate cost. The

rich cream color is more pleasing

than a pure white cotton. The neu-

tral shade combines well With a
wide range of colors.

An attractive way of using this

material is to cut out medallions
from short lengths of cretonne and
applique them on the unbleached
muslin. This is pretty in a border
across the lower edge (if the valance
and on the side hangings.

Tell Us Your Experience.———-I would like
to know if any of the readers of M. B. F.
have ever used smoked salt for hams and
shoulders? We don’t like the old style
of smoking as it gets too strong, and
they will keep by just dry salting and not
smoking at all. Someone please give
experience and oblige. Also will someone
give a recipe for graham loaf made with
sour milk and soda and a cup of raisins?
——-Mrs. L. _

-——-I hope some of our good readers will
heed your call for help regarding the use
of smoked salt. No doubt many of them
have had the experience and if they will
put it down’ on paper and send it in I will
be pleased to publish it on this page for
the beneﬁt of all our readers who might
be interested.

A recipe for graham loaf, or brown
bread, which I have found very good is
as follows: 2 cups graham ﬂour, 1 cup
white ﬂour, 1,5 cup molasses, 175 cup brown

Steps in Hooked Rug Making

N Scotland the name "“pulled rug”
is used instead of hooked rug.
The material from which the de-

sign is made is hooked, pulled or
drawn through a heavy material,
such as burlap, with a needle. The
burlap is used for a foundation. The
foundation should be very ﬁrm and
well sized with a smooth surface.

Begin with small pieces, such as
chair bottoms, mats, for porches and
swings. Master the hooking of loops,
get them of uniform size which will
come naturally after an hour or two
of practice. The loops should be
one-half inch long.

First make a small sketch on pa-
per and color it with water colors.
Study it in all details. Enlarge this
to suit the size of your rug or mat,
then trace or draw it off on the bur—
lap with a heavy black pencil, such
as carpenters use. The colored
sketch will be valuable in the proper
selection of the colored rags. Cut
designs out of large ﬁgured wall
paper. After the designs are care-
fully cut, pin them into shape on the
burlap one inch or more from the
edge and outline them with crayon
or a heavy black pencil, or a brush
dipped in India ink. When the out-
line is completed, lift it off and draw
in the details freehand. The same
designs may be used to furnish acol-
or scheme for the rug. '

size and coloring is important if you
plan to sell in quantities in the open
market.

Frame

An adjustable ﬁrm fame, similar
to a small quilting frame, may be
bought or made. Sew the burlap on
which the design has been drawn
into this frame as a quilt is sewed
into the quilt frame. A large darn—
ing needle and coarse thread, san-
silk or twine is good to use in sew-
ing the burlap.

Hem

To ﬁnish, turn the hem back,
baste it down with heavy thread and
then sew cotton tape one inch wide
over it. The tape must not show on
the right side. This tape strength—
ens the rug and gives it a neater ap-
pearance. Lining is not necessary.

Warnings
1. Make your loops one-half inch
long. >

2. Keep your rows of loops close
together.

Keep your stitches or loops an
even distance apart. Skip every ﬁve
threads in‘your burlap in making a
loop unless the burlap is very coarse,
then skip four threads.‘ - .

The Informal CalL—é'ﬂounting calls,"
L e., insisting on an exact exchange of
call for call, suggest Shylock rather than
sociability. And, in essence, the informal
call is a friendly one. A call which may
be suggested or announced by telephone
should not be associated in the caller‘s

mind with anything like a debit and,
credit balance and a monthly auditing.‘

A liberal viewpoint, keeping in mind the

‘principle of fair exchange in a general

way, common sense and tack, and regard
for the personal equations should deter-
mine when informal calls are to be paid.
If, as a rule, people receive their formal
calls before five in the afternoon on a
set “at home" day, their closer personal
friends are more apt to drop in on them
at ﬁve or after. But, again, this is a
matter of choice. One may prefer to
have ﬁve or six (or even fewer) “clear-
ing—house" afternoons for all the more
formal and incidental calls of the sea-
son, and combining with a formal tea,
cover one’s entire visiting list.

 

For the Movie Fan

 

 

We’re in the Navy Noun—How many of
you saw “Behind the Front” featuring
Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton?
To my mind it was one of the funniest
pictures I have had a chance to see, but
the latest comedy in which this pair stars
is still funnier. "We’re in the Navy
Now” is the name of it and Wallace Beery
as Knockout Hansen and Raymond Hat-
ton as Stinky Smith can truly be Called
“gobs of laughter". .

As the name suggests, Knockout Han-
sen is a. prize ﬁghter, with Stinky Smith
managing him. After a ﬁght in which
Hansen is knocked out of the ring he
learns that his manager has disappeared
with the purse. Hansen locates his man-
ager near a recruiting station and pur-
sues him through the naval training camp
gates where they are informed "You’re in
the navy now". Later they appear in
uniforms and are put aboard a transport.
From there on it is almost one continuous
laugh.

FOR twenty-ﬁve years the
deﬁnite purpose of J. C.
Penney Company Department
Stores has been to supply un-
excelled VALUE for every
shopping dollar — not in so-
called “sales”, but every day
throughout the year!

People often ask us, “How
can you offer such high quality
merchandise at such low
prices? ” The answer lies in
Volume Buying, in intelligent
selection of the things we know
are wanted by farm families
and then in being satisﬁed with
a Reasonable Proﬁt.

Large savings can be effected
when shoes, for example, are
bought by the million pairs or
when clothing, dry goods and

furnishings are bought in sim-
ilar large quantities. We buy
in just such large quantities—-
for CASH! We effect propor-
tionate savings ———and then
pass them on to you!

But these modern Depart-
ment Stores offer you some-
thing more than mere savings.
Convenient locations bring
Personal Shopping within reach
of millions of farm families.
Thus, when you shop at one of
these stores you can examine
quality, you can judge color
and texture and satisfy your-
self on the important details of
workmanship, style and ﬁt. All
these features, plus our low
prices, are your assurance of
unexcelled VALUE for every
dollar you have to spend.

this matter of liberal  too
far" and‘ to food a cow beyond her
capacityfor unit production. ~In
whichcsse she puts the food on her
back.“ a (reserve for some future
time when she may not be so well
fed. such everieeding is usually not
proﬁtable. The point at ‘whi‘ch over-
fesding occurs is a question that
must be settled for each individual
cow by the feeder andzis one of the
points in which the skill of the
dairyman in handling his herd must
he used. -

The dairy cow is the same as any
other animal in that she requires not
only a liberalamonnt of feed to do
her best work. but she must also
have a teed that is broken up into
diﬂerdnt kinds of nutrients each of
which is needed tor s War pur-
pass by her body. In this way pro-
tein is needed tor milk production,
and for growth and maintenance of
the body. Carbohydrates and fats
are used in the dairy cow's body for
the production of energy. This en-
ergy is either stored on the back
of the cow as fat, used in her move-
ments, for heat production, or- used
for milk production. Protein, car-
bohydrates and fats all taken to-
gether are called the total nutrients.

Need More Protein

The need of most Michigan cows
is for an increase in the amount of
protein that they receive, as 'well as
the total amount of concentrates
that they get. Most Michigan cows
would increase their production lb
they were fed rations containing a
larger percentage of protein, This
statement holds true only because
we have a tendency in Michigan to
feed a large proportion of home-
grown grains, and home-grown
grains are, unfortunately, relatively
low in protein although they are
high in carbohydrates and fats.
ConseQuently the thing that Mich-
igan farmers must pay most atten-
tion to is the protein content of their
feeds.

When a legume hay, such as al-
falfa, is liberally fed this is not a
difficult matter. This hay supplies
a large amount of protein but when
timothy hay or corn stover is the
basis of the ration it is necessary to
increase the protein content of the
grain ration by at least ﬁfty per
cent.

While it is possible to get good
production on timothy hay by feed-
ing a high protein ration yet it in-
creases the cost of production very
materially because the high protein
feeds are nearly always the ones that
are the most expensive. Timothy

 

with“
d

     

as much .per'ao’re‘ sells’fo'r about it

same, price “per tones the alfalfa,

Consecuently one pound ' of protein
costs about three times as much in
the form of timothy, hay as it does
in the terms of dialia hay.

Besides giving the dairy cow
enough feed to meet her needs and

,,having this feed contain the right

amounts of the right kind of “nutri-
cuts the feed should have certain

characteristics that make itvadapted

for dairy cows.
Os. Use m M

Such things as bulk, palatabiltty
and laxativeness must be taken into
consideration if the ration is to be
a success. The feed to give the cow
suﬂicient nutrients may be ﬁgured
out from a, feedan table but unless
the feeder has had practical experi-
ence with the dinereut kinds of feed
undesirable results may follow. It
is for instance, possible to compute
a ratiOn for a dairy cow from tim-
othy hay and-cotton seed meal. But
Such a ration Would have several
faults in that it .would not be pala-
table, it would not have the bulk
required by the dairy cow and it
would not have a desirable effect on
the cow, being liable to cause im-
paction. If, however,.we add corn,
bran and oats to the mixture and re-
place part of the cottonseed meal
with linseed meal a ration could be
worked out that would be satisfac-
tory from nun-1y all standpoints.

One _of the greatest sources of loss
in feeding dairy cows comes through
the habit of feeding all the cows
alike regardless of their needs or the
amount of milk they produce. Many
feeders go down a line of cowa and
give each one a basin full of grain.

This is a. wasteful method of feed-
ing, because some cows get more
grain than they need and others are
underfed and not allowed to produce
as efficiently as they should. Many
examples could be given of feeders
that have increased the production
of their herds by simply feeding the
cows in proportion to the needs of
each one without increasing the
amount of grain led to the entire
herd.

The things then that I think the
Michigan dairyman should watch
closely are to feed enough grain

containing a sufficient amount of,

protein to supplement the kind of
roughage fed, and to feed the cows
in accordance with their milk pro-
duction. ‘

 

Did you lcnow that man ate meat be-
fore agriculture and the cereals were
known?

Putting the Bean Crop to lied

EARLY every fall there are
acres and acres of beans in
Michigan that are never harvest-

ed because of wet weather. Sometimes
they are not even pulled, but we be-
lieve, as a rule, more beans spoil in
piles or in the barn because of damp-
ness than standing in the ﬁeld. .

Perhaps this loss never can be
eliminated, but can not it be reduc-
ed? To date no one has ﬁgured out a
way to turn the rain on or off, just as
we want it, so we are obliged to
look elsewhere for a solution. Clar-
ence D. Haywar , a farmer and sub-
scriber, living near Almont, Lapeer
county, thinks he has it in his recent
invention. the “bean bed.“ He tried
it out twelve days this fall and de-
clares it satisfactory. Patent is
pending. “

“I put it in the ﬁeld, covered it
with beans nearly six feet deep on
the 25th of October,” he writes,
~“and when the snow storm of No-
vember lst came beans that were on
the groundwere covered with snow
and it was caked onto them while
those on the ‘boan beds’ were prac-
tically tree from snow. When I
drewpthem in twelve days later they,

solid. When not in use the legs can
be folded so that the ‘bed’
thus making it easy to store away.

“Beans pulled and stacked the
same day on my 'bean bed,’ using
the alfalfa cap, could stay out indef-
initely without» harm."

LOST USE OF [BIND QUARTERS

I have a sow that lost complete
use of her hind quarters about three
weeks ago.
weeks old at the time. She was
out on pasture at the time. Was
feeding rye and cats in her slop
and‘a few ears of corn. She eats
hearty but drags her hind quarters
yet. Can you tell me what to do?—
J. M., Gladwi-n, Michigan.

NLY a small percent of such

cases recover; this is rickets

brought on by not needing rich
enough feed when she was suckling
her young. You should and 1.5
pounds of bonemeal to 100 pounds
of tankage and then give her 1/,» to

her two t-a’blespoonsful of coolly-er
oil night and morning in milk; give
her all the milk she will drink.

F you will get a small syringe
with a small enough nozzle so
that you can wash this .out and

then ma; e; up a solution of lime
water us ng one-half pound to a
gallon of water; shake it up well
and then pour several) tablespoonsful

twice each day until all discharge
has stopped; then let it heal up.
This often heals them up.

disease in cattle called “.Wolf in

V'HE'RE is no such disease as wolf
in the tail. It is a relic of the

the older generation believed in.
My grandfather belived that it was

DID YOU MISS US?

'E are very sorry that we were
unable to send out our radio
farm school, market reports

and farm news for several days after
Christmas but it was unavoidable as
the studio of Station WGHP was be-
ing moved to a better location.

Many owners of new receiving sets
no doubt tried in vain to tune—in the
markets, perhaps about deciding
that their set was not just what they
understood it to be, because of the
fact that they couldn’t get WGHP
at that hour of the evening. We
hope they are now getting every-
thing alright. r

LET’S HEAR FROM YOU

HISis real radio Weather and

most of us are using our sets

every moment that we can so
we are in a position to be judges of
the programs that are being sent
out and we should take the time to
write to those whose programs we
enjoy to show our appreciation,
while letters of constructive criti-
cism well be welcomed by every sta-
tion. We receive many ﬁne letters
from our listeners but we would like
lots more, tellinghow our programs
are liked and how they can be im—
proved. You know they are your
programs and it is up to you to tell
us What you want to hear.

Also if you would like to have a
pad for taking down the market quo:
tations as they are given out. We
have some and will gladly send you
one free upon request. Each pad
contains enough blanks for over a
month of reports. Perhaps you
would like a picture of the fellow
with the friendly voice, Harry C.
Browne, the announcer. Well, there
is one on the cover of the market
pad.

Lets have your suggestions, folks.

MUNICIPAL MARKET REPORT

E received a letter from one of
W our Macomb county subscrib-

ers asking that the farmers’
markets of Detroit be broadcasted
daily. Perhaps gem are others who
are wondering 8. out this, although
we did make an announcement re-
garding it over the radio.

The report is supplied by the
Municipal Bureau of Markets, of De-
troit, and is issued only three times
a week. This being the most au-
thentic report available we decided
to broadcast that one only, rather
than use reports of a doubtful na-
ture between, and perhaps mislead
our listeners. -

2,000,000 FARMERS UNITED 1N
TEN YEARS

PPROXIMATELY 2.000.000

farmers have joined farmers'

business organizations in the

last ten years, according to ﬁgures

received at the United States Depart--
ment of Agriculture.

In 1915 the rolls of farm business.
organizations contained the names
of about 500,000 member's. In Do-
cember, 1925, this number had
grown to 2,500,000. \

From a percentage standpoint the

largest gains in membership were

made by the southern states from
Virginia to Texas. The largest in-
crease from a numerical standpoint
occurred in the western north cen-
tral states, and the smallest in the
mountain states.

OTI‘AWA COUNTY ’AGENT LAYB
1927 PLANS
EVERAL campaigns for 1927 are
being planned for Ottawa coun-
ty by County Agent C. P. Mil-
ham. These will include the organ-
ization of more cow testing associ-
ations, increased interest in boys’
and girls’ calf clubs, dairy, alfalfa
and soil testing meets, ditch blasting
exhibitions with the use of pyrotol,
reforestation work, pruning and fer-
tilizer demonstrations, hay day for
demonstrating the latest method
of cutting, curing and making hay,
use of commercial fertilizer, proper
selection of breeding pens for rais-
ing chicks and freeing them from
parasites and disease loss, wind-
break planting and sandblow control
and the organization of more boys’
and girls’ clubs for corn, potatoes,
beans, pigs and poultry.
Milham has the co—operation of
college specialists for his proposed
campaigns.

V    pigs on feed during .

* winter-months will help to keep

them thrifty and healthy and

will bring added wealth to the pro—
ducer.

'This terse fact is emphasized by
recent experiments carried on at
South Dakota State College in which
direct sunlight proved an important
factor in producing good gains in
pigs. . J

Investigations carried on by the
college animal husbandmen in 1925
show that ordinary so-called chemi-
cally balanced rations do not always

,prevent the appearance of rickets in.

young pigs during the winter.

A lot of ﬁvepurebred Duroc Jer-
sey pigs averaging 48 pounds each
was one'of a series of ﬁve similar
groups started on a feeding experi-
ment January 29, 1925. These pigs
were very thrifty and uniform in
condition and individuality. In four
weeks time this lot of pigs had made
a. total gain of 83 pounds, exceed-
ing the gains made by the best of
the other four lots by 26 pounds.

In spite of the fact that these pigs
were making more rapid gains, con-
suming larger amounts of feed and
seemed to be the best of ﬁve separate
lots, very pronounced signs of rick-
ets appeared on March 8. This con-
dition continued without any chang-
es in either the ration fed or method
of management until March 12‘when
the entire lot was moved to another
pen in the same barn, connected with
an outside pen on the south side of
the building instead of a larger yard
on the north side to which these
pigs had previously had access. By
this time each of the pigs had ad-
vanced to such a stage that they
moved with extreme difficulty and
usually rested on their knees while
feeding. The pigs were forced to re-
main out of doors in direct sunlight
as much as possible. Feed consump-

tion which had decreased during
this period, now increased rapidly,
and after a 10-day period all signs
of stiffness had disappeared. No fur-
ther symptoms appeared during the
remainder of the experiment and the
lot, with the exception of the short
interval, continued to be the best in
the series. \

These results emphasize the im-
portance of direct sunlight in the
production of farm animals, say an-
imal husbandmen of the college, and
indicate that, for the winter feed-
ing of pigs, at proper arrangement
of outdoor pens deserves perhaps as
careful consideration as the selec-
tion of the ration or the kind of
shelter provided.

Never in the history of centrifugal
cream separators has there been a machine
equal to the DeLaval. Each model has,
in its day, been far ahead of all other
machines in skimming efﬁciency, ease of
operation and superior durability.

The present model De Laval is the crown-
in achievement of all. It has the wonder-
f new “ﬂoating” bowl which runs
smoother and easier, eliminating vibration
and thus making it skim better and cleaner,
run easier and last longer.

You will get a. richer, smoother, higher-
testing cream with this new De Laval—and
more of it, too.

Skim Your Skim-Milk

Ask your De Laval Agent to bring out a new
De Laval Separator and run the skim-milk
from your old separator through it. The new
De Laval skims so clean that if you are losing
any butter-fat it will surely be recovered. Have
any cream recovorcd in this manner weighed and
tested at your creamcry, and then you can tell
exactly how much a. new De Laval will save for
you. Trade allowances made on old separators
of any age or make.

The easy milker is usually the
proﬁtable milker. Much of the
holding back of milk is due to
lack of care of the udder and
teats. It pays to go after the
extra quarts by giving constant
care to even the “little” hurts
that make the cow nervous and
restless.

Bag Balm has a permanent
place in thousands of cow barns,

A m e r i c a n statesmangsud

governdxent fits the , earner-stone of
American ~ liberties.” We believe
that statement is true today. Dur-
ing the past 25 or 30 years there
has been a growing tendency toward
centralizing of the powers of govern-
ment; a slow and crafty stealing of
local public rights aWay from the

by bureaus. The rural school is
now the objective of many leading
professional educators who consider
the common people incompetent to
manage the.instituti0ns in the pres—
ent day and age. A professor at our
State Normal College recently re-
marked to the writer that he did
not trust the common people
enough to even want to submit any
change in our educational system
to their vote.

In New York state this spirit has
led to the passing of a law, provid-
ing for the forcible consolidation of
all rural schools, regardless of the
wishes of the patrons.

Our organization was formed a
year ago upon the principal, “that
any plan, whatever its source, for
changing our school system should
meet with the approval of the people
concerned" before any attempt is
made to put it in force.” The people
are supporting the schools and their
children are attending the schools.
Therefore we wish to see that the
rural schools are of the type, in all
possible respects, that. the people,
after thoughtful and active consider-
ation, want them to be. .

We believe that the district one-
room school is not yet' obsolete.
There is still a place for it. In a
pamphlet issued by the National
Educational Association 5 e v e r 251
years ago there appears this state-
ment: “A reliable authority estim-

six-sevenths of the college professors
of the entire country, three-fourths
of the men in authority in city
churches, and about the same pro—
portion of the influential men of af-
fairs in the city—merchants, manu-
facturers, bankers, lawyers—were
born and reared in rural regions.
Twenty-seven presidents of the
United States were country boys.”
Emerson, also, is quoted in the
pamphlet, “If the cities were not
reinforced from the ﬁelds they would
have rotted, exploded, and disap-
peared long ago.” Why then should
we hastily change our system? We
do not wish to be understood as op-
posing consolidation of schools if
the changes made are the ones de-
sired by a large majority of the
people in the districts affected. ’

A few words regarding our con-
stitution, adopted at a special meet-
ing held in June, may be of interest.
At the time the name “Rural School
Officers and Patrons Association of
Michigan” was adopted.

The objects of our organization
were declared as follows:

(a) “To promote, support, and de—
fend the welfare of the boys and

school in the open country.

(f) “To maintain an open-minded
constructive attitude towards devel-
opments in rural education.”

—As to membership we ﬁnd the fol-
lowing in Article III, Section I:

“Any person interested in rural
school education may become a
member.” Section 11, “School dis-
tricts as a, whole may become mem-
bers by so voting at an annual or
special meeting.”

The expense of our organization
at ﬁrst was borne by individual
members. At present, the districts
The officers serve
without pay.

Our aim is to be constructive and
progressive. At our annual meeting
to be held in December the follow-
ing topics will be discussed:-» ( 1)
“Revision of Our School Laws,” (2)
“The Advisory Teacher System,”
(3) “The County Unit Administra-
tive System." Competent commit-
tees appointed at our June meeting
have made a careful study of these
topics and will present both sides.
A report of this meeting will appear
in THE BUSINESS FARMER.

We believe an organization of
this kind should- exist in every coun-
ty in the state. Jackson county has
already followed suit, the up-to-date
school commissioner actively sup-
porting it. These county organiza-
tions should be independent, locally,
but united in the matter of state is-
sues, school legislation, etc. Owing
to the fact that a legislative session
will be held this winter the work of
organization ought to be begun im-
mediately. This may well begin by
organizing the townships. The work
was started in Jackson countyby
one township.

This association is an organization
of farmers, for the farmers, and we
believe merits their support. The
writer as president of the Washten-
aw county organization, as well as
the other officers, stand ready to as-
sist in any possible manner.

bed. Mrs. Mulligan was seated at his
side, giving what small consolation she
could offer in the circumstances.

“Margaret, me darlint,” said he, “I

wONION MAGGO’I‘S

EAR EDITOR: I have been read-

ing several times in the M. B. F.

that some of the readers are
troubled with maggots in their onion
patches, so I will give my experience
in 1925 with my own onion patch.
I did not have very much seed so
I wanted to save all I could and I
mixed about one' third radish seeds
with my onion seeds. They are about
the same size, so I thought that
would save thinning out the onions
and when the radishes were big
enough. I found they were full of
maggots, so I pulled them all up
and threw them over the fence, and
so my onions were not troubled with
the maggots at all and this year I
did not use the radish seed and lost
lots of onions on account of mag-
gots. . p
I am not saying that this method
is going to give satisfactory results
everywhere or in all cases but I
think it is worth trying for radish
seed is cheap compared with onion
seed and this method is less work
and less expensive than all chemical
treatments. You may put this in
THE BUSINESS FARMER so the readers
all get a chance to read it and
hope some farmers or gardeners will
try it, and report of their result in
the M. B. F.—-H. H. Buschman, Shi-
awasee County.

“You Can’t Make
Silk Purses From
Sows’ Bars”

The price of Larro Poultry feeds changes
only when the price of raw materials
changes. Next year Larro may cost more
than it costs this year—it may cost less,
depending upon the price of the ingre-
dients used to make it.

 
     
       
     
        
      
     
       
         
 

But, regardless of price, the quality will
be the best that we can put into it, as it
has been in the past, is now and always
shall be. For we are ﬁrm believers in the
truth of the homely old proverb: “Silk
purses can not be made from sows’ ears.”

 
     
     
     
     
     
    

For ﬁfteen years the Larro standard of
quality has won and held favor and it will
continue to win and hold favor long after
feeds made to meet a price are gone and
forgotten.

 
     
     
     
     
    

The good judgment of American poultry-
men supports such a policy. If it did not
pay to feed LARRO, the poultryman
would have found it out long ago.

LAUNCHING MARKETING
' ASSOCIATION .'
URING the last two months
there has been much activity in

the south central section of
Michigan regarding; a cooperative

,poultry marketing association. Meet-

ings have been held in Lenawee and
Hillsdale counties, and a district
conference was held in Jackson on
the 10th of December that Was at-
tended by delegates from Eaton, Ing
ham, Livingston, Washtenaw, Jack
son, Calhoun, Branch, Hillsdale and
Lenawee counties. The conference
was addressed by representatives of
the Ohio Cooperative Poultry Asso-
ciation, at Wauseon, Ohio. A com-
mittee was appointed to perfect a
similar organization in this State.
This committee, composed of the
county agents of Washtenaw, Jack-
son,vBranch, Hillsdale and, Lenawee
counties, and Albert G. Bettenridge
of Seneca, Alex Lindsay of Bliss-
ﬁeld, C. F. Layher of Brooklyn, A.
W. Torrant of Parma, A. J. Ernst of
Saline, Leo V. Card of Hillsdale, and
G. S. Coffman of Goldwater, met in
Hillsdale December 17th where ar-
rangements were made to hold
county—wide meetings in the pro-
posed marketing district of Jackson,
Washtenaw, Lenawee, Hillsdale and
Branch counties during the ﬁrst
week in January. Then on the 8th

of this month, the directors, one Se-'

lected from each meeting, met [in
Hillsdale to perfect the organization,
incorporate, draw up a marketing
agreement, and make the necessary
arrangements with the Wauseon or-
ganization to care for themarketing
of the eggs, etc.

Complete facts will be available
by the next issue, no doubt.

M. S. C. ENDORSES
LIGHTING

HE Poultry Husbandry Depart-
ment of the Michigan State Col—
lege is sold on the idea of using

artiﬁcial lighting to increase egg
production and it is used in the Col-
lege poultry plant and in the Inter-
national Egg Laying Contest con—
ducted by the College.

“This method is no longer in the
experimental stage," says 0. M. Fer-
guson, extension specialist in poultry
husbandry. “In fact, the practice is
considered essential to high egg pro-
duction.

“The basic principle of increased
production by artiﬁcial illumination
is physiological and not psychologi-
cal. It merely permits the bird to
consume enough food to meet the
demands of the body and leave suf-
ﬁcient reserve for the production of
eggs.

“The hen requires from three-
quarters to four-ﬁfths of all the food
she consumes for body maintenance.
This leaves her with a narrow mar-
gin for the production of eggs. The
average hen does not have sufﬁicient
digestive capacity to take care of
an excessfor egg production when
her feeding time is limited, as it is
at this time of the year.

“It has been found that the hen’s
crop will contain only about enough
food material to keep the digestive
tract working for about ﬁve or six

,« After this food has been used up, sh

‘ used

must draw upon the reserve'Supply'
which has been stored in the body."
There are four common methods
in artiﬁcial ,
morning lights, evening» lights, night'
lights, and a combination of morning
and evening lights. Morning lights
have given the best results at the
college. The lights are brought into
use Nov. 1: -
“Thirteen hours is the length of
day that seems to be most advan-
tageous," says Mr. Ferguson. “We
have had no ill effects from turning
on the lights and giving the hens the

full length of day from the ﬁrst and '.

we do not believe it is necessary to’
introduce the hens to this new ‘sun-
rise’ gradually.

“In the spring, however, caution
must be used in turning the lights.
off, to avoid throwing the'hens into
a moult. About April 15, we start.
gradually to reduce the length of
the day by having the lights on a"

few minutes later each morning. The ‘
day should not be , shortened more -

than 15 minutes over the period of
a week.” ‘

Recommendations of the poultry
department for spacing of lights are
one light unit for each 200 square
feet of floor space. The lights should
be suspended at a distance from the
floor which will illuminate the feed-
ing area to the best advantage and
the roosts sufficiently to induce the
bane to leave the, roosts.

“The use of a balanced ration and
cod liver oil to supply deﬁciencies
in vitamimwill offset any difﬁculties
which might result from excessive
production," says Prof. Ferguson.

FEEDING FOR EGGS
I want to ask you a question con-
cerning poultry. I have some S. C.
White Leghorn pullets, ﬁve months
old. I would like to force these

pullets for eggs as much as possible '

and yet maintain good health. I am
feeding a dry mash consisting of:
100 pounds of bran; 150 pounds of
middlings; 150 pounds of yellow
corn meal; 100 pounds of ground
oats; 85 pounds of meat swaps; 25
pounds of oil meal, 4 pounds of char-
coal. Could this mash be improved
by adding more meat scrap and.

about 50 pounds of alfalfa meal?”

.asif s has  av é
‘1 commended » for laying
that some pOultry“ keepers have

‘gotten the idea that" a feeder full

of mash in the hen house is all that
is necessary to make the hem lay.
They have given the hens all the
scratch grain they could eat,
then wondered why the hens did not
eat the mash that is always before
them. When hens are given their
choice of grain and mash they will
eat the grain, but if they get only
a limited amount of scratch grain,
they will complete their ﬁll at the
mash hopper. This is the ideal ra—
tion and the one that builds up egg
production. On the farm where
corn. is laying around, the flock
should be kept in the house during
the coming winter months and
forced to eat the dry mash in addi-
tion to the scratch grain given them.
Keeping the hens in a warm, clean
house will help maintain the egg
production at a higher level than
if they are allowed to run out in
the cold and wet. Good house rent
for hens costs only ﬁve eggs per hen
during the winter months so a
good poultry house can be afforded
on the average farm.

FOWL TYPHOID

Could you please give me inform-
ation' as to my hens? They are fat
and seem healthy when they sudden-
ly die. Some become lame a day or
two before dying—W. W., St. Johns,
Michigan.

THINK your ﬂock has fowl ty-

phoid. It can only be controlled

by thorough and complete disin-
fection at frequent intervals; the
sick birds should be taken from the
ﬂock as soon as noticed and killed
and buried deeply or burned. Clean
up as well as you can and do it often.
—Dr. G. H. Conn.

' FEEDING BUCKWHEAT

What value has buckwheat for
laying hens? Have been feeding
wheat and corn, also~wheat and oats.
—M. T., Bad Axe, Michigan.

UCKWHEAT is of minor import-

ance as a poultry feed, since it

has rather a heavy ﬁbrecontent.
One cannot afford to purchase buck—
wheat, but where it is raised as a
farmcrop, a satisfactory ration can
be made by using 45 pounds of corn
meal, 45 of wheat, and 10 of buck-
wheat. This to be used as a scratch
ration—C. G. Card, Professor of
Poultry Husbandry, M. S. O.

NO ll’IOULDY FEED

We have ﬁve chickens that have
died and one sick. Their crops be-
come rotten and then they open and
contents drop out. When they eat
corn then _they drop out again. We
feed them corn, oats, scrap meats
and ashes. They lay quite fair. We
have a ﬂock of forty chickens. Please
tell me what causes it and how can
we prevent it or_ cure it.—T. K., Her—
rietta, Michigan.

EE that this ﬂock gets no spoiled
or mouldy feed. Get this for

AFRICAN AND TOULOUSE GEESE

Would like to know if the African
geese are as good keepers as the
Toulouse breed. I am thinking of
raising some of both breeds—J. B.,
Cedar, Mich. v

BELIEVE there is little difference
in the keeping of African geese
and of Toulouse geese. There
are, however, more breeders of Tou-
louse geese in Michigan, than there
are of the African. Their size is
about the same, and they ﬂesh fairly
equallinVell in the fall, although the
Toulouse takes on ﬂesh fairly more
rapidly than the African—C. G.

 this time farmers are looking

‘ '7 over the year ' recently closed
and planning on how to im—
prove on. past methods of farming.
In some respects 1926 was a good
year, especth in the hog industry,
while there were heavy losses in the
southern cotton industry, and corn
farmers of the middle west have
good cause for dissatisfaction ho-
calse of the low market prices for
tw important WM. Serious my
takes were made“ in the cattle bust-v
no“, involving heavy losses on in»
131294 cattle or heavy“ weight during
the summer months, many owners
holding on. for a hoped-tor rise in
prices that failed to take place. To
an extent far more than hereto-fore
the packers showed a preference, for
fat little yearling steers and heifers,
and they sold readin at unprece—
dentedly high premiums. It‘- was a
year when. cows, bull'é""and plain
‘kinds of cattle were sold at rela—
tively high prices, and only lately
haVe weighty beef steers had a rise
to normal values. It was in hogs
that farmers made their largest
proﬁts, prayiding the dreaded hog
cholera did not break out, and in
some communities such losSes Were
heavy, but the number of farmers
suffering such losses was not very
, ‘. _ large. Farmers Who had the com
' ' .found it extremely proﬁtable to feed
it to hogs, and at this time the out-
look for Wine is highly encouraging,
them being no particularly large in-
crease in the pig crop. After a num«
her or proﬁtable years in the sheep
industry, there is an overproduction
of lambs, and a Sher-t time ago the
average price of lambs in the Chi»—
cago market fell to $12 per 100‘
pounds, the lowest in four years.
Too many western lambs are feeding
in the corn belt. However, sheep
. have been good money makers, and
they are expected to continue so in
the long run, as our Michigan farm-
er‘s have found them. Homes are in
better demand, with farm chunks
sellin - in the Chicago market chiefly
at 8 5 to $135, while high-Solace
drafters sell as high as $275 to $300.

Low Prices for Grain

It is uselesa to gloss over the dis-
appointment felt by the grain farm—
ers of the country because prices
failed to go higher, the consoling
feature being that there is_a good
profit in feeding corn On the farm,
and this is what many Michigan
farmers are doing, much‘ to their
credit. In addition to the new crop
of corn selling at- unp‘roﬂtable' prices,
the prolonged wet weather season
did serious injury to can still in
the ﬁelds, part of it having bad
feeding quality, while much is
worthless. A short time ago word
came from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, that
com husk-mg is at last ﬁnished in
central Iowa, late favorable weather
having prevailed in that region. It
was stated that farm renters were
particularly anxious to ﬁnish their
corn hacking, as many of them are
going to mom at renting time, and
they were planning on turning their

so that they can use the rough feed
before the time ﬁxed for moving. In

expected to ’be generally clear.

About Tuesday the temperature
will rise and the sky become over-
cast, followed during middle days of
the week with storms of rain, sleet
or snow. High winds and gales are
also to be expected and as a result
some roads may become blocked to
regular mg. ,

Fair weather will again rule in
the state daring the latter days of
the week and the temperatures will
again tall am low and continuing
below menu normal throughout
the greater out of wt week.

Week of January as

With temperatures generally be-
low the seasonal normal during the
greater part at this week the peri-
od is divided into two parts as fol-
lows: First half will be stormy with
rain or snow and the last half will
be mostly fair. Temperatures will
fall sharply during latter days of
the week.

Some Cold Snaps in February

While» the month as a whole will
average moderate for the greater

\part of Michigan, we are expecting

some rather sharp cold spells of! and
on. Indications point strongly to
more than the average amount of
sunshine tor the month.

 out of balance!

“I have been using a Melotte cream sep-
arator for 12 years, and it runs as good as
when I got it. The repairs have been few
and the cost but little.
Li . “The bowl has always stayed in
balance and I cannot see how it
could ever get out of balance. I
; recommend the Melotte.”—-— Bert
*1 Curtis, Stanley, N. Y., R. No. 3.

14 years old —- Still
in good balance

 “I don't remember when I pur-
chased my Melotte, but it must be
1 close to 14 years. It still gives
in the best of service. The bowl is
still in good balance. After using
several different makes of separ-
ators, I would still prefer the
Melotte ten to one.”-—W. E.
Hendricks, Homestead, Okla.

 l 13 years old-Always
in perfect balance

“I have had my Melotte Separator
-. for over thirteen years and it is
1 still in good working order. I have
spent less than $10.00 for repairs
.7 in all this time. If I had to get a
’1' new separator it would be no other
 than the Melotte. It turns easier,
l skims closer and lasts longer than
any other separator I have seen or
heard of. The bowl will always re-
main in perfect balance.”~ Edward

out of balance

“I am proud of saying that I am a Melotte Separator
owner for the last ten years. I never had trouble of
any kind. The bowl never got out of balance, no
repairs, of any kind, just rubber for bowl
and outside bowl amounting to about 60c. I
recommend the Melotte separator as the best
lever used.”-—Aug. LaMarche, Stanley, Wis.

retains its balance!

“My Melotte has been in constant use
the full eleven years, and has, during
that period, been handled by my
ﬁve sons at different times, con-
stantly changing from the hands of
one to the other.

Even today my Melotte will skim as
‘ good as any new separator and my
tests of cream do not vary over 1 or
2 percent. The bowl still retains its
balance with no repairs whatsoever.”
-M. W. Kelley, Shelton, Neb.

13 years old - Still
stays in balance!

“As I have used one of your Melotte
Separators 13 years and runs as good
as it did when we got it, it runs easy
and stays in balance. Wouldn’t ex-
change it now for any other make
that I know of and I think anyone
buying a Melotte will make no mis-
take.”-—-John A. La Rue, Melrose,
New Mexico.
