With a tough ﬁlm of oil over all the

Corn growling districts of Michigan for
the 1927 contest.

=HIS year marks the ﬁfth for
Michigan’s Corn Growing Con-
test. Since 1923, the interest
in this project has grown and this
year there will be approximately
ﬁfty contestants. This contest is
carried on cooperatively by the Farm
Crops Department of M. S. C. and
the Michigan Crop Improvement
Ass’n. As a state wide project, it
claims several objects; however, the
real purpose of the contest is to in-
terest Michigan's corn growers in
varieties that are better adapted to
their particular local‘conditions. It
also places before these growers the
valuable and more successful cul-
tural practices made use of by the
farmers who win the awards and
produce the best crops.

An entry of ﬁve acres of corn
must be made; however, this may be
a. ﬁve acre ﬁeld or may be any ﬁve
adjoining acres of a larger ﬁeld.
Each grower wishing to enter as a
contestant must be a member of the
Michigan Crop Improvement Ass’n,
said membership costing one dollar
per year. Thus the necessary ex—V
penditure is very small compared to
the value of knowing accurately just
what it costs to produce your crop
of corn.

Each contestant must keep a rec-
ord of the manure, commercial fer—
tilizer and seed used, and also the
amount of labor spent in producing
his ﬁve acre ﬁeld of corn. In the
fall, at harvest time, each ﬁeld is

Seventy-Five Attend Detroit Meeting

EPRESEN’I‘ATIVES of twelve
state agricultural organizations
met at the Fort Shelby Hotel on

May 26 and 26 to hold the ﬁrst an-

A total of seventy-ﬁve persons took
part in the discussions and entertain-
ment, featuring the two day meeting.

After an afternoon of sight—seeing
around Detroit, which included the
inspection of the Detroit News plant,
the Ford Motor Company, and the
Detroit Creamery, the guests and
delegates settled down to a banquet
at which Mr. J. H. O’Mealey, Presi«

.....,.... Who Will Be Michigan’ s 192 7 Corn King?

M. S. C. Will Find Him Through Five Acre Corn Growing Contest
By R. H. MORRISH

Extension Specialist in Farm Crops, Michigan State College

sampled by representatives of the
Farm Crops Department, in order to
deterinine the yield per acre. This
yield is calculated in terms of bush—
els of shelled corn per acre, on a
basis of fourteen per cent moisture
content.

The ﬁnal placings are announced
during Farmers’ Week in February
each year. These placings and the
awards are made on the greatest
margin above the cultural costs of
production. The yield of thirty-four
bushels obtained by the average
farmer in Michigan in 1926 can be
grown on a smaller acreage and at

the same time costs can be decreased
and the margin above cultural costs
increased by the use of better cul—
tural methods.

In 1926, Mr. Paul C. Clement

'was made Corn King of Michigan.

He obtained a yield of ninety bush-
els of shelled corn per acre, as com-
pared to the thirty-four bushels
produced by the average farmer.
Valuing corn at seventy-three cents
a bushel, his ﬁve acre yield was
$327.20.

Other winners in the 1926 contest
were: second, George Bruce, Brit-
ton; third, Ernest Gilbert, Waldron;

June 9 Livestock Feeders’ Day at M. S. C.

ROFESSOR F. G. KING, Assist-
ant Chief in Animal Hubandry
at Purdue University, will be

the principal speaker for Livestock
Feeders’ Day, June 9th at Michigan
State College. His address will be
“Some Problems of the Cattle Feed-
er.” Professor King has been a
member of the grading committee in
the National Cooperative experi-
ments in livestock feeding.

At ten o’clock, eastern standard
time, a tour will be made about the
College barns to inspect the animals
in Various feeding experiments.

In the dairy barn, the crowd will
have the opportunity to see the ef—

' feet of minerals in the cattle ration

and cotton seed meal versus linseed
meal for growing calves.

Over at the piggery, they will
ﬁnd ﬁfteen Lots of pigs on experi-
ments, and will observe the effect of
cull beans for fattening pigs; alfalfa
hay or meal for winter pig feeding;
sanitary lots versus the old hog lots
for spring pigs; and inside versus
outside feeding.

The ﬁrst formal inspection of the
large new horse barn will show some

champion Belgians and Percherons,

and various winter rations for idle
horses will be noted.

Choice baby beeves will be com-
pared at the beef barn as to the
value of linseed meal versus alfalfa
hay; and barley versus corn.

E. B. Hill, Assistant Dean of Agri-
culture, will preside at a 12:30 lun-
cheon at the Union, after which
Professor King will speak. Meat for
the luncheon will come from one of
the College prime baby beef calves.
More detailed results of the feeding
experiments will be given out at this
time and discussed by the animal
husbandry department.

The calves from the experiments
will be valued by market representa-
tives and the completed results made
available. They will then be ship-
ped to Beltsville, Maryland, where
laboratory tests will be conducted to
determine the difference in quality
of meat from the different rations.
The meat will be slaughtered and
graded according to government
standards.

The pigs on the cull bean ration
will also be shipped to Beltsville for
soft pork studies—Kline.

and fourth, Otto Wegner, Riga.
Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Wegner have
both been the winners of ﬁrst place
in previous contests.

In order to enlarge the contest's
scope and make it a fairer proposi-
tion for up—state farmers, the state
has been divided into three districts,
where certain varieties are better
adapted than others. The prizes to
be given in each of the three dis-
tricts are: ﬁrst, one ton of 20 per
cent acid phosphate, donated by the
Supply Service of the Michigan Farm
Bureau, Lansing; second, one-half
bushel of Hardigan Alfalfa seed, giv-
en by the Seed Service of the Farm
Bureau and third, ﬁfty pounds of
binder twine presented by the Mich-
igan Industries, Incorporated, of
Jackson.

Along with these district awards, '

a sweepstakes prize will be given to
the best corn grower in the contest.
This valuable reward consists of
eighty rods of steel fence, donated
by the Keystone Steel and Wire
Company of Peoria, Illinois; and
eighty steel fence posts contributed
by the Red Top Steel Post Company,
of Chicago, Illinois.

Following the policy of previous
years, the Michigan Crop Improve-
ment Ass’n will present gold medals
to all growers obtaining a yield of
one hundred bushels of shelled corn
per acre; silver medals to those pro-
ducing from eighty—ﬁve to one hun-
dred bushels per acre and bronze
medals to all who have a yield of
from seventy—ﬁve to eighty—ﬁve bush-
els per acre. In 1926, two silver tro-
phies and three bronze ones were
awarded to the contestants.

Already there are more entries in
than there were contestants ﬁnish-
ing the contest in 1926. The entry
lists will close on July 1st. All grow-
ers who desire applications for en-
rollment or further information con-
cerning this project should see their

feeder’ s standpoint; G. T. Wheeler,
chief claim agent of the Michigan
Central Railroad spoke from the
standpoint of the carrier and H. R.
Davison of the Institute of American
Meat Packers spoke from the stand-
point of the packer. All these men
agreed that the whole proposition of
producing good livestock and getting
it to the market in good shape was a
cooperative movement. The farmer,
the buyer, the shipper, the man who
loads, the carrier,
stock yards, all have a hand and if
any fail to do their duty there may
be a loss. The recent heavy losses
due to hot weather was in fact due
largely to over—loading and poor bed-
ding. If the cars are loaded prop-
erly as to number and sand used as
in the cars, the danger is minimized.

Do not over-load, was emphasized ”

strongly.

Prof. J. T. Horner in his talk on i
the elimination of waste in agricul— .5

ture remarked that, “The person

who prevents waste is just as big a,-
factor in our production problems as‘

the man who actually produces. "

As you will remember committees
in the Senate held up both bills until
it looked as though we would not get
any legislation along this line during
the last session. If it had not been
for evidence presented by T111: BUSI-
NESS FARMER and others at a special
meeting with the two committees, no
doubt the two bills would have died
in their hands. But after the case
.1 had been pleaded for. both bills by
ourselves and others, producing evi—
dence of the great need of stronger
laws along this line, the committees
reported the bills out, and they were
passed by the Senate with slight re—
vision which made it necessary for
them to be returned to the House.
The House passed them and they
were placed before the Governor for
his signature.

The Hall Bill

The most important bill of the two
is known as the House Enrolled Act
No. 56. It was introduced by Rep—
resentative Hall of Ionia county and
is an act to regulate the buying and
selling of poultry by having the deal—
er keep a record. The bill reads as
follows:

which we were riding seemed
strangely out of place in the narrow

hotel and we followed a tiny little
street- -car, powered by a rebuilt ﬂiv-

sengers, twice got out to push over
a particularly bad piece of track.

We had our ﬁrst Mexican banquet

rapidly as they do to the small boy
at his ﬁrst three-ringed circus. It
was hot, very hot and dusty, even
though this city of nearly a hundred
thousand population boasts of paved
streets and many inviting little
parks.

Here we caught our ﬁrst glimpse
of the stagnation which has followed
the continued depredations of the
various revolutionary factions, for
it was only a few years ago, that
Monterey was visited by the de—
structive Pancho Villa and his band
marauders and in the Hotel Azteca
where we stopped, the building,
which was to have been the pride
of the city, is today only partially
completed and the prints of the
horse—shoesare still in the tile of
the beautiful lobby, which Villa used
to stable his cavalry. They told‘us
that the wealthy Mexican who had
hoped to crown his life’s work with
the completion of this beautiful h0—
tel for his native city, died a broken-
hearted pauper.

Like a monk’s—cap, the old Bish-
op’s Palace, crowns the top of Chepe
Vera hill and we climbed there to
get a bird’s—eye view of Monterey.
This old palace, now in partial ruins,
was built in 1775 and was hotly
contested when the invading army
from the United States placed our
ﬂag on its crest in 1847. From‘this
vantage-point one could see the iron

and steel smelters which have con-- ‘

tributed- to the wealth of the city
and probably more to the wealth of
their foreign owners. Monterey lies
in a valley with a range of moun-
tains on either side, the most famous

'means of automobile or other vehicle

having a license thereon, then the
number of such license.

Huff Bill

The second bill, known as the Huff

Representative Huff, has to do with
the sentencing of the thief, once he
is found guilty of the charge. Known
as House Enrolled Act No. 66, this
bill reads as follows:

tion of poultry and to provide a

’American Farmers in Mexico

You would not ﬁnd Manuel 011
your map of Mexico and we would
not have found it, had not our party
been under the guidance of men who
knew this country and that we want—
ed to see it “inside—out.” Manuel is
merely a one-store town, in the heart
of a rich agricultural section, col—
onized many years ago by American
citizens who came down here to spe-
cialize in truck gardening. That
these pioneers did their work effec-
tively is proven by the miles of cul-
tivated land, from which generous
crops of tomatoes, cabbage, peppers
and green vegetables had already
been shipped to American markets.
One of our hosts was a native of
Benton Harbor, Michigan, who
seemed mighty glad to talk with
someone from so near his home. He

 

gave us something of the present
plight of the Americans who have
invested their time and money in
agricultural developments such as
we were seeing in Manuel.

Under the Mexican agrarian law,
by which the government is attempt-
ing to break up the large acreage
ranches, which have kept the native
peon in what might as well have
been bondage; the cultivated land
such as these Americans have devel—
oped can be seized or condemned by
the government. The valuation« is
made and there are courts of appeal,
based on the same scheme as'would
prevail in condemnation proceedings
in the United States, but, as our
friend from Michigan pointed out,
the “rub” came; ﬁrst, in the fact
that the Mexicans were taking away
the cultivated land just as it was
about to be proﬁtable to the Ameri—
cans, and second, because, even after
a (so—called) fair price had been set
on the land, the payment was to be
made in Mexican bonds which the
settlers felt had little deﬁnite value.

without a murmur, packed—up and

“Want to pump the water to house
300 feet away on a level. Want
~ pump in the house. Please tell me
tilt pump will lift water and carry it
.‘that far?—L. J. T., Flushing, Mich.

AM unable to determine whether

a pump would work satisfactor—

ily in this distance or not. If
you mean that the water is 30 feet
below the ground then I am sure
that a pump will not work, but if
the water- comes to within a few feet
10f the surface and the pipe line is
laid very carefully so that there will
be no air pockets, the pump can be
used at the house.

There are a number of factors-

that must be taken into considera—
tion in locating a pump this dis-
tance from the well. The size of
pump, the size of pipe and the depth
of the water below the cylinder of
the pump are the factors that must
be considered.

A pump pumping 5 gallons per
minute through a 1 inch pipe line
this distance would lose about 6 feet
in friction or this would reduce the
suction lift of the pump from about
26 feet to 20 feet. That is, if the
water in the well were 20 feet or
more below the cylinder of the pump
it would not work satisfactorily at
this distance. I am inclined to be—
lieve that it would be better to place
a pump at or near the well than to
attempt to pump through this amount
of pipe line unless the water comes
very close to the surface. ——0. E.
Robey, Specialist, Agricultural En-
gineering, M. S. C.

 

MUST BUY STRAW

I am on a rented farm, ﬁfty—ﬁfty,
and have got to buy straw for bed-
ding and I would like to know who
{has to pay for the straw as it seems
to me owner ought to buy’ straw as
we do not have the privilege to sell
straw like hay and fodder. A rent-
ed farm of B and A bought some
hogs promising to pay in a few days
13 payed his two— thirds share and A
left the farm before time was out

and did not pay his share. B had
the hng and sold them. Who is
supposed to pay for them? A can’t

be found and this was about three
years ago. -—J. L. H. Coldwater,
Michigan.
. TRAW purchased should be paid
S for on the same basis as other
feeds purchased, each party
bearing their own share of the ex—
pense. Relative to the hogs I would
advise you to consult your 1903.] at-
torney or prosecuting attorney.~—— F.

 

T. Riddell, Research Assistant in
Economics ,M. S. C
FORECLOSE

If A sells a piece of land to B on
contract with payment and interest
to be paid each year, and 18 fails to
make payment or interest and does
not move or give up contract, what
has A to do to gain possession and
what would be the cost? B is back
on payments for two years—A. G.,
Sugma, Mich.

COULD give notice of forfeiture

of the contract and foreclose.

Foreclosure proceedings would
.cost somewhere around $30.00 or
$35.00. See an attorney about it.—
Legal Editor.

ATTENDING SCHOOL

We would like to know if a child
has to go to the school 21/2 miles
from her home if there is another
closer—1%. miles? We are moving
on a new farm and the owner said
we could be set over but the other
school board refuses to do it. If our
child can be forced to go there can
she be compelled to walk or must
they furnish conveyance? She is
not strong and the only one in that
mile to go. This farmer never asked
to be set over before because his
children were grown when this other
school was built. «Mrs. A. W. 0-.
.Scottville, Mich.

The compulsory education law
prcvides that no child under nine
years of age can be compelled to
walk more than 2174 miles to school.
Any school district boarl may pro-
vide transportation for pupils within
the district but cannot be compelled

control over the boundary of pri-
mary school districts and may trans—
fer property from one district to an-
other, provided that such transfer
will not materially injure the dis—
trict from which it is taken. Ilen-
e1 ally if one wishes to have property
set from one primary district into
another a petition is ﬁled with the
township board asking that this
board make the transfer. In case ”18
board meets for the purpose of con-
sidering this transfer and refuses; to
act, the petitioner has an appeal to
the circuit court commissioner and
the county commissioner of schools.

ers and duties of the township board

SELLING GRAVEL OR STONE

In case a farmer wants to sell
gravel and stone to contractors,
what is the price per acre and per
load, also how do they 8811/ stones,
by the cord or by load and also the
price—M. D., Cedar River, Mich.

RAVEL‘ is usually sold by the
yard and stone may be' meas—

ured by the porch, which varies
in different sections of the country

from 161/2 to 24% cubic feet. I
would suggest selling the stone by
the cubic yard or ton. The prices
will be largely controlled by local
requirements and I am unable to
state what they would be for this
particular location.———H. H. Mussel-
man, Prof. of Agricultural Engin-
eering, M. S. C.

KILLING RATS -

We are having considerable trou-
ble with rats and I wish that you
would please advise me of'some way
of getting rid of them.—Reader,

.Yan Buren County.

COQREDING to the results of the

experiments conducted jointly

by the Bureaus of Biological
Survey and Chemistry of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, a powder
can be made from dried red—squill
bulbs which have an efficient and.
uniform taxicidity for rate but at the
same time does not unduly endanger
human beings of domestic animals.
The use of powdered red-squill for
the destruction of rats is compara-
tively recent in this country, al-
though the poison has been in un—
limited use in Europe for centuries.
It has never come into popular use,
however, there because of its ten-
dency to vary greatly on potency.
Several of the factors inﬂuencing its
toxicidity have been developed dur-
ing the course of the present inves—
tigations. Officials of the Depart—
ment of Agriculture state that’these
experiments will be of material as-
sistance in the production of the uni—
form and stable product. Red—squill
powder is manufactured by the
K-R—O Company, Springﬁeld, Ohio,
and, we understand, can be pur—
chased from most druggists.——Edi-
tor.

WANTS BEAN POOL
EAR EDITORz—I for one cannot
understand since so much has
been said and done why we can-
not have a bean pooling system work-
ing right now in our state as all as
far as I know seem willing to pool.
It seems to me the only thing lack—
ing is there must be a wheel horse
sent out to get the goods. Around
Carson City where they can grow
them if they can dispose of them,
sure we can’t raise them to keep to
look at.
I have before me a pamphlet from
a farm paper stating they will give
me their paper three years weekly
for one dollar. So much so good but
not I. It’s years old and all I could
ever learn from it was plant more
corn and raise more hogs. That
might be good advice but now we
have the corn borer and hog cholera
to ﬁght. Wouldn’t the country be
lovely if farming could be made to

Celebrating a. Birthday

IRTHDAYS being annual affairs,

one is inclined to want to cele-

brate their arrival. After we
get past about so many milestones
which our birthdays have numbered,
we are less in-
clined‘ to look
forward to them
than we were
when the num—
ber was small,
and still, when a
day has arrived,
without excep-
tion we seem to
want it to be so
pleasant we will
remember it for
some time. Well,
yesterday the

 

L. W . MEERS

had a birthday.
The morning was a very pleasant
one. The afternoon was to be spent
with Queen and June and Dan on a.
plow about a mile from home. There
was about one half day’s plowing
left for two three—horse teams on the
north place, and Kenneth and Yours
Truly were going to get it done and
be able to say our com ground was
all plowed.

Everything seemed pleasant as We
drove to the ﬁeld. All along the
road violets, etc., seemed glad it
was the time of their annual cele-
bration, too. We had had a couple
of days of rain, and the horses
seemed glad it was the time of their
annual celebration, too. We had
had a couple of days of rain, and
the horses seemed glad. to be back
in the harness. In this connection
however, the Broadscope man was
somewhat surprised for Queen, the
quiet, steady-going black, was seem—
ingly very nervous, so much so that
it required Kenneth’s assistance to
hitch the team to the plow. Had I
known as much then as I did an hour
later my birthday celebration might
have been different. Strange how
many. 1{birthdays have to go by before
we really know very much. I have
always known that when a horse
shows unusual signs of fatigue with
no apparent cause, it should immedi—
ately be returned to the barn,
watched very closely, and a veterin—
ary called as soon as any unfavor-
able action of the horse was noticed.
But I did not know it was a sign of
approaching danger when a horse
seemed unusually nervous. The
plowing was very easy for the three
horses, the soil was in that ideal
condition for turning when it seems
to fairly slip up and off the mold
board.

On account of the speed the team
were bound to make, a short stop
was made at each round, but there
were only four rounds—.and then
Queen went down. It was a some-
what favorable location for such a
celebration, as it was directly across
the road from a farm home, and tele-
phone. The man of the place was
out in the yard. A shout was given
and in less than two minutes a veter—
inary was bundling his cases' in his
car for a hurry call out‘in a stubble
ﬁeld two miles from town. Acute
indigestion—very serious case—the
ﬁrst dose of medicine must be strong
enough to cure or kill.

Such threshing around on the
ground by 'a horse is seldom seen.
Muscles set almost solidm—horse very
quiet.

“Prepare to keep her here all
night! ..Get some straw under her!
Cover her up with a blanket! Sure—
, ly going to rain within an hour! Get
a canvas, stay with her all night!
Give the medicine every hour!”

.Some celebration! Kenneth was
left to watch while a trip was made
home for blankets, canvas, etc.
returning, Queen wasseen standing.
and ‘shaking like some of our boot-
loggers must when they, know our
new sheriff is on their trail. 1 ' 3' '

Fifty-ﬁve minutes were spent in get-
ting her the thirty rods where a com-
fortable box stall was awaiting her.
Supper time. But the night would
be far more pleasant in the barn
than out in the ﬁeld. How it rains!
Every hour for a while, and then
every two hours the medicine was
given. Midnight, and what a ‘ﬁne
lunch for us on returning to the
friendly house. Two o’clock, four
o’clock, six o’clock, and here is the
veterinary again. “Queen is coming
ﬁne. If it stops raining get her
home.”

Some birthday celebration! But
listen—there are some things to be
thankful for, even in this celebra-
tion. First, the fact friend Ray had
a telephone; second, that our near-
by village has an up-to-date veter-
inary, and that he happened to be
at home. Fifteen or twenty minutes
longer delay would have been fatal.
And last, but not least, is the know-
ledge gained. ‘

This veterinary says when a horse
shows unusual signs of nervousness
get it in the barn at once, the same
as when it shows unusual signs of
weariness. Thank you Doctor, can
you change this bill?

It’s next day now; ground is very
wet, still Kenneth and I will try and
finish plowing this afternoon, the
soil being somewhat sandy. But
June and ‘Dan will have to be the
team for my plow.

Sign Your Name ,

It would seem so much has been
said about signing one’s name to let-
ters sent to the M. B. F. or anyone
else, that all letters would be signed.
But they are not. We dearly love
the old name, “Subscriber," but
when there is no other name given
at the close of a letter we feel
“Subscriber” does not mean enough
to us to warrant our attention. But
when a letter closes with John Doe,
(Subscriber) we feel JohniDoe is a
good man to get interested in and
he will certainly get 'our best atten-
tion.

A letter came to me a short ‘time
ago from a man who was sowing

THEE T0 SPRAY

I have ﬁve apple trees that are
bearing fruit, but I do not get very
‘ much. The. worms destroy most of
it.‘ Please let me know what to use
to spray the trees with and how
much it will cost to spray the ﬁve
trees, and how many times will I
have to spray for best results. When
is the best time to spray? I keep
bees. Would there be any danger of
poisoning the bees with the solution
that I spray with?——A. P., Hillman,
Michigan.

PRAY your trees just before the
S blossoms open; immediately aft—
er the blossoms fall; two weeks
after the blossoms fall; and again
the ﬁrst week in August. For all
sprays use 2% gallons lime-sulphur
and add 2 pounds of arsenate of lead
in 100 gallons of water. This sched—
ule should do for a home orchard
and will hold the worms, and also
the scab in check. The most im-
portant of these sprays is the one
immediately after the blossoms fall.
Spray thoroughly. These sprays will
not hurt your bees, but do not spray
when the trees are in blossom.

The cost of spraying your trees
will depend entirely upon their size,
as it takes more material for a large
tree than it does for a small one.
If the trees are large, old trees it
will cost you about 30c for each
spray for the ﬁve trees. It the trees
are not very large the cost will be
less according to the size of the trees.
This estimate of. cost includes only
the spray material.

BUS-HES FAIL TO BEAR

Could you tell me what is the
matter with my red raspberries?
They are two years old and haven’t
had any berries on them, except a
few small ones. They look nice and
thrifty but are covered with small
ﬂies in the summer time. Should
they be destroyed or is there a
spray that Would help?—Mrs. J. G.,
Midland, Mich.

KNOW of no ﬂy which directly

injures red raspberries. If as

you say the plants always look
nice and thrifty then it cannot be
that they are being attacked by any
leaf eating insects. It is possible
that a grub is destroying the ﬂower
buds. Watch the buds and if grubs
are seen spray the plants with ar—
senate of lead and water. It is also
possible that the buds or blossoms
were injured by a late spring frost,
as sometimes happens. Watch your
plants very carefully from now on
and if any suspicious symptoms ap-
pear describe them carefully and We
will be very glad: to do all we can to
help you.

Celebrating a Birthday

IRTHDAYS being annual aﬂairs,
one is inclined to want to cele-
brate their arrival. After we

get past about so many milestones
which our birthdays have numbered,
we are less in-
clined‘ to look
forward to them

than we were
when the num—
ber was small,

and still, when a
day has arrived,
without excep-
tion we seem to
want it to be so
pleasant we will
remember it for
some time. Well,
yesterday the

 

L. W . MEEKS

had a birthday.
The morning was a very pleasant
one. The afternoon was to be spent
with Queen and June and Dan on a
plow about a mile from home. There
was about one half day’s plowing
left for two three-horse teams on the
north place, and Kenneth and Yours
Truly were going to get it done and
be able to say our corn ground was
all plowed.

Everything seemed pleasant as we
drove to the ﬁeld. All along the
road violets, etc., seemed glad it
was the time of their annual cele-
bration, too. We had had a couple
of days of rain, and the horses
seemed glad it was the time of their
annual celebration, too. We had
had a couple of days of rain, and
the horses seemed glad. to be back
in the harness. In this connection
however, the Broadscope man was
somewhat surprised for Queen, the
quiet, steady-going black, was seem-
ingly very nervous, so much so that
it required Kenneth’s assistance to
hitch the team to the plow. Had I
known as much then as I did an hour
later my birthday celebration might
have been different. Strange how
many birthdays have to go by before
we really know very much. I have
always known that when a horse
shows unusual signs of fatigue with
no apparent cause, it should immedi—
ately be returned to the barn,
watched very closely, and a veterin—
ary called as soon as any unfavor-
able action of the horse was noticed.
But I did not know it was a sign of
approaching danger when a horse
seemed unusually nervous. The

plowing was very easy for the three

horses, the soil was in that ideal
condition for turning when it seems
to fairly slip up and off the mold
board.

On account of the speed the team
Were bound to make, a short stop
was made at each round, but there
were only four rounds—and then
Queen went down. It was a some-
what favorable location for such a.
celebration, as it was directly across
the road from a farm home, and tele—
phone. The man of the place was
out in the yard. A shout was given
and in less than two minutes a veter-
inary was bundling his cases‘ in his
car for a hurry call outin a stubble
ﬁeld two miles from town. Acute
indigestion—very serious case—the
ﬁrst dose of medicine must be strong
enough to cure or kill.

Such threshing around on the,

ground by *a horse is seldom seen. ‘

Muscles set almost solid—horse very
quiet.

“Prepare to keep her here all
night! ..Get some straw under her!
Cover her up with a blanket! Sure—

. 1y going to rain within an hour! Get

a canvas, stay with her all .night!
Give the medicine every hour!”
.Some celebration! Kenneth was
left to watch while a trip was made
home for blankets, canvas, etc.
returning, Queen wasseen standing,
and j‘éhaking like some of our boot—
legger‘s must when they know our
new sheriff is on their trl'lail. .

Broadscope man ‘

On‘

  
  

Fifty-ﬁve minutes were spent in get-
ting her the thirty rods where a com-
fortable box stall was awaiting her.
Supper time. But the night would
be far more pleasant in the barn
than out in the ﬁeld. How it rains!
Every hour for a while, and then
every two hours the medicine was
given. Midnight, and what a ‘ﬁne
lunch. for us on returning to the
friendly house. Two o'clock, four
o’clock, six o’clock, and here is the
veterinary again. “Queen is coming
ﬁne. If it stops raining get her
home.” '

Some birthday celebration! But
listen——there are some things to be
thankful for, even in this celebra-
tion. First, the fact friend Ray had
a telephone; second, that our near-
by village has an up-to-date veter-
inary, and that he happened to be
at home. Fifteen or twenty minutes
longer delay would have been fatal.
And last, but not least, is the know-
ledge gained.

This veterinary says when a horse
shows unusual signs of nervousness
get it in the barn at once, the same
as when it shows unusual signs of
weariness. Thank you Doctor, can
you change this bill?

It’s next day now; ground is very
wet, still Kenneth and I will try and
ﬁnish plowing this afternoon, the
soil being somewhat sandy. But
June and Dan will have to be the
team for my plow.

Sign Your Name

It would seem so much has been
said about signing one’s name to let-
ters sent to the M. B. F. or anyone
else, that all letters would be signed.
But they are not. We dearly love
the old name, “Subscriber," but
when there is no other name given
at the close of a letter we feel
“Subscriber” does not mean enough
to us to warrant our attention. But
when a letter closes with John Doe,
(Subscriber) We feel John-Doe is a
good man to get interested in and
he will certainly get our best atten-

- tion.

A letter came to me a short time
ago from a man who was sowing
oats and wanted information about
seeding some grass in them. He said
to answer in next issue of M. B. F.
and signed his name “Subscriber.”

It would have been impossible for
the'answer to appear in the “next”
issue, as that issue was then all in
form. The best we could have done
would have been to answer in the
second issue and that Would have
been about three weeks away, alto-
gether too late for an answer to be

TIME TO SPRAY

l
i I have five apple trees that are

bearing fruit, but I do not get very
! ' much. Theworms destroy most of
1 it.“ Please let me‘ know what to use
i to spray the trees with and how
, much it will cost to spray the ﬁve

PRAY your trees just before the
blossoms open; immediately aft-
er the blossoms fall; two weeks

after the blossoms fall; and again
the ﬁrst week in August. For all
sprays use 21/2 gallons lime-sulphur
and add 2 pounds of arsenate of lead
in 100 gallons of water. This sched-
ule should do for a home orchard
and will hold the worms, and also
the scab in check. The most im—
portant of these sprays is the one

Spray thoroughly. These sprays will
not hurt your bees, but do not spray
when the trees are in blossom.

The cost of spraying your trees
will depend entirely upon their size,
as it takes more material for a large
tree than it does for a small one.
If the trees are large, old trees it
will cost you about 300 for each
spray for the ﬁve trees. If the trees
are not very large the cost will be
less according to the size of the trees.
This estimate of cost includes only
the spray material.

FOR ALL
FARM EQUIPMENT

The enthusiasm for
Champion—the better
spark plug—on the
farm lies in its abso-
lute dependability.

Two out of three farm
owners always buy
Champions for
trucks, tractors and
stationary engines as
well as for their per—
sonal cars for the very
same reasons that
two out of three
motorists, the world
over, give Champion
the preference.

For full efﬁciency, do
pendability, long life
and greater economy
you will ﬁnd Cham—
pion fully deserving
of its world-wide rep
utation —— the better
spark plug.

 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
   
    
 
 
    
   

Car manufacturers recom-
mend, and hundreds of
thousands of motorists are
changing spark plugs every
1 0,000 miles to insure better
and more economical our
operation. This is true, even
of Champions, in spite of
their world—wide reputation
for remarkably long life.

was nearly nine o’clock when the
phone rang. Mrs. Jim answers and it
was Jim. He was about half way home
and . is car was stuck. Couldn’t make
the b ame thing run, he said, and tinker-ed
with it, but no use. Said I better get the
team and come up after him, as be
guessed we'd have to pull it home. Well,
I sure had a good laugh. Jim thought he
wasaﬂrstratemechanicbutonlya
week before I had to go out and pull him
home, and when we began to look the car
over We found out it was all right but he
had jimmed the throttle and the carbu-
retorwasﬂooded. SoItoldthemissus
that it ought to be easily ﬁxed, but I
took the team along for safety. I hitched
them to the light rig and away I went.
Got to where Jim ought to be and be-
gan wondering where he was, as he had
phoned from Finley’s which was ahead
of me. Passed Ottosen's place and
thought I saw the car just ahead. So I
slowed up the team and was just about
ready to stop when I saw someone leave
the car and run back to the barn. That
didn't act like Jim, and I wondered what
was up, so I began to drive careful like.

sen gun so he was better protected than
the rest of us.

Jim didn’t wait to knock. He walked
right up. opened the door, and we walked
into the kitchen. -

Maybe you think we didn't blink when
right in front of us sat Mike and two
other men playing cards.

“Evening, Mike." Jim announmd.

Mike wasn’t excited, but when the other
two fellows saw Pete Finley with that
gun they jumped up and started out. .~

"Whoa !" Pete sang out. “None, of
that! Move again and you get bud:-
shot. Back up and put then up!"

Just then we heard another car coming
up the lane, and Mike appeared nervous.

“What's the idea. Barttm," he says.
“coming in on me like this?” Rather un-
usual to bu’st into a man's house and
make his friends put up their hands.
I ” Mike was real mad.

Just then I saw something, and says,
"Jim’ looky here." Right bad: of the
table on a little stand were two cane
just like my other can. Jim looted. May-
be you think his eyes didn't stick out.
He didn’t say much, but walked across
the room, took an old roller towel of! the

 

 

 

WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAB

ﬁlms were active among the farmers in Millhnnk township, although
Tthinge quieted down right after they stole six hogs from Jim Barton.

Folks had their own ideas as to who the guilty parties were, but no they
had no actual proof or evidence on anyone nothing was done, until one night
Mrs. Shooter, an old lady living all alone, was shot at when trying to keep
someone from carrying of! her chickens. Bight then and there it woe decided
to organize a protective association and get busy. Bill, former apprentice of
the local country weekly who was working for the Barton's because of poor
health, decided to solve the mystery if possible and get the reward of $100.00
which the association bod onered. Finding one of Jim Barton‘s hog markers
at a neighbor he believed he was on the right trail, so he told Jim about it.
Shortly after they took a load of hogs to the local stock yards to Ihip them
with the cooperative’s and in one of the pens they saw several hogs which they
believed were the stolen ones. Suspicion pointed to Mike Albert, when the
folks suspected and Jim Barton star“ to look up the mutton—Editor.

 

 

Maybe you think I wasn't surprised when
I came alongside of the car, which seemed
empty, and found out it was that old
wreck that Mike had been driving. What‘s
more, I got a second jolt when I took a
breath and smelt the fumes of ether!

Now I was excited. Didn’t know just
what to do, but ﬁnally decided I better
keep going. So when I was past the car,
I whipped up the team and blamed near
ran over Jim and his car, which was only
a. mile farther down the road.

It didn't take me more than a minute
to tell Jim what I had seen. He was ex-
cited, I tell you, and was for doing some-
thing at once. He was sure Mike was up
at some deviltry. Pete Finley was out
there and he was sure things were wrong.
Said the best thing to do was to go to
the house and phone Ottosen and ask him
if he had company and if he knew Mike
was parked out near his barn.

So Jim and Pete went to the house to
telephone. Meanwhile, I began monkey-
ing with the car, and I don’t know what
I did to it unless I charmed the auto, but
after I adjusted the spark and throttle
and got down and cranked real hard, the
blamed thing started and I had her run-
ning sweet as a sewing machine just as
Jim and Pete came tearing back.

Maybe they weren’t pleased!

"Hooray,” yelled Jim. “Just what we
need; how did you start it?” And before
I could answer, Pete sings out, "Bill, you
made a discovery; someone just left Ot-
tosens‘ and took with them some of his
hogs!"

Well, it took me about two jerks to
tie up the team to the fence and jump into
Jim’s car, and away we went back to-
ward Ottosen‘s. When we got there the
old man was out with a lantern and shot-l
gun and he was so excited he could hard-
lytalk. Saidthephonecallwolrehim
up andthathehad senthis'boyoutto
see what he could ﬁnd out and the
came in to report an automobile had just
pulled out and that three of his seven
'fat hogs were gone. '

"Which way did they go?" Jim asks.

"That way,“ the boy pointed.

“Well. get in, bring that shotgun, and
we’ll see what in thunder is up."~ Jim

rack, and with a butcher kniﬂe began to
cut it into strips.

Meanwhile, Mike was cussing, and Pete
had backed him up alongside of the others
who stood in shot-gun row.

“Here, Bill, Jim says “take this strip
and tie them fellers' hands behind them.
Pete, if they move, do what‘s customary
with a shot-gim. If I can ﬁnd any rope.
We will see what we can do further."

I tied them alright. Jim came in with
a rope and we soon had their feet hobbled.

Then Jim steps outside and begins to
get ready to load the cusses in our car.

He walked over to the car and was just
ready to open the door when he heard a
faint squealing.

”What in thunder !" he says.

We looked into the car and here were
three hogs kicking and squealing feebly,
acting just like they had been stuck and
was about gone. A second look showed
us this wasn't our car. It was Mike’s
remodled wreck, but no driver was to be
seen any place.

”How in thunder did we get in here and
not see this car?” Jim says.

“Well," I replies, “because it wasn‘t
here when we came up."

So we had a brief argtnnent over the
arrival of Mike’s car. Jim maintained it
must have arrived ahead of us, as every-
thing pointed that way. ,

"How in time could this cuss leave
Ottosen’s and head the same way as us,
leave ahead of us and get here after-
wards? Besides, wasn’t Milne in that
house when we bu’sts in there?"

EAR. FRIENDS: Mapy questions
come to this department for an—
swer. Most of them have to be

and are answered by personal letter.
(And for this a stamped envelope
would be appreciated.) Some of these
questions are duplicates, showing
that they are of general concern. A
few of these are noticed in our ﬁrst
installment of “Around the Table.”
Some inquirers write, “Since you
have promised to answer any ques-
tion, I would like to ask, etc.’ Now
your religious editor promises to do
no such thing. That is an assign-
ment for the gods. But he is glad
to help as he can. ' ‘
II: 1|:

Are there differing rewards in

heaven?

~For suggestive answer to this
question, compare 1 Cor. 3:10-15
‘and 2 Cor. 5: 10. These indicate

that our works or character must
'stand a future revelation or testing;
and that future blessedness is pro-
portioned according to our faithful—
ness here. Some will enjoy more of
heaven than others because they
have lived in the heavenlies on
earth. Others will have less since
they have been worldly and inconsis-
tent much of the time. Yet because
they have .a little of the true faith at
the bottom of their lives hey will be
saved. We begin in heaven where
we leave off here. Our future state
is measured to us according to the
way we use our opportunities at
present. See also Luke 12:48 and
Matt. 11:20-24.
* ll: *

Is there any real difference among
the denominations?

Your inquiry is interesting, but it
'would require very lengthy treat-
ment to give a reasonably full and
satisfactory answer. However, I may
say' in general that all protestant
evangelical churches are alike in
Gospel essentials. That is, they all
hold to the Fatherhood of God, the
saviorship of Christ, and the enlight-
tening and empowering companion—

ship of the Holy Spirit. They differ
in methods, in spiritual emphases,
and in social purpose. Would that

they would yield to the uniting sim—
plicity of Love.
I! it ill

What is your explanation of the
ransom?

Interpretations of this differ. But
Matthew 20:28 as compared with
Titus 2:14 and Hebrews 9:12, make
for a reasonable indication that
Jesus laid down His life for us as an
example of supreme sacriﬁce rather
more than as a price paid in substi-
tution. That is why He declares that
the essential of Christian living is
to take up one’s own cross and fol-
low Him. His atonement for us in-
cludes His whole ministry of service
and suffering which had its climax
in the Cross. The Cross represents
the utmost sacriﬁce of Love. That
is the point of Matthew. In the above
cognate texts, Christ is represented
as entering the “holy Of holies,” of

. giving His life to God to obtain

“eternal redemption” fer us, or “to
purify unto himself a people.” This
interpretation conforms to the Bible
teaching on sanctiﬁcation or trans-
formation. See Remans 12: 1- 2 and
Colossians 1: 24f. After all, salva-
tion does not depend on an ability to
analyze and interpret all the mys—
teries of God. Just a growing like-
ness to Christ through the spirit of
the Cross of love, makes one a
Christian. ‘

diated through Moses, Exodus, chap-
ters 20-20, and ratiﬁed through
Moses’ symbolical blood. Ex. 24:1-8.
Christ has supplanted Moses in a
New Covenant mediated through
Him. Heb. 3:1f. The Old Covenant
was nailed to the Cross. Col. 2:14-
15. The Sabbath institution, as a.
part of this covenant, went with it.
Jesus, as a Jew, ‘kept the Sabbath,
but the New Covenant He taught and
observed daily. In His teaching
there is no commandment to keep
the Sabbath nor even the ﬁrst day.
Therefore, Paul, the great inter-
preter of Christ, says, “Let no man
therefore judge you in respect of a.
sabbath day.” Col; 2:16. And, “Let
each man be fully assured in his
own mind.” We keep the ﬁrst day,
or Sunday, as a memorial of Christ’s
resurrection and our deliverance
from sin, because the ﬁrst Christians
established the custom. Jno. 20:19-
26; Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2. The
edict of Constantine in 321, that cer-
tain classes should observe Sunday

   

. as a clay 6f rest,
establish the popularity of this day
and, give it a legal standing. Revel-
ation and experience teach the es-
sentiality of a weekly day of rest
and worship. *Let us‘ hold it fast.

What is your *explanation of 1 Cor-
inthians 11:5 and 6?

In explanation of 1 Cor. 11:5-6
I have this to say brieﬂy. First, the
chapter is not without its difficulties.
Yet there are some things that ap-
pear quite clear. Chapters 11-14
have to do with proper social de-
corum in public worship. The wo-
man’s dress came in for considera-
tion. It must be understood that
when a woman appeared in public
apart from her individualism and as
a member of the social group or as—
sembly, she must have her head cov-
ered as a sign of decency and re—
spect. To have shaven or cropped
hair was the mark of the captive,
and of disgrace. Compare Deut.
21:11-12.

Now some of these Greek women
became Christians and members of
the Corinthian. church. As such,
they seemed to misinterpret Paul’s
teaching that in Christ there is no
male or female, and began to assert
their equality with man in public
by throwing off the social badge of
privacy and subordination. This
was socially dishonorable in that day
according to St. Paul. The apostle
would be all things to all men that
he might save some. He was wise

has done much to‘

   
  

Gospel to prevailing social customs
that were in themselves harmless, he
could best further the Kingdom
cause. Women have a right to pray

and prophesy, but it must be done in .

social order to be Christian in spirit.

But the man, also, is held to orderly '

worship. Of. 1 Cor. 14:28. * * "

Now, it is the judgment of the writer -

that we have no occasion in our day
to perpetuate the head covering for
women. _The Christianity of Christ
must not be encumbered with anti-
quated customs. Yet, the scripture
in question does emphasize the
principle of social modesty for all
women. Verse 15 is ever modern in
its rebuke of shingled and mannish
women. Long hair and modest dressi
ing are distinctive marks of feminine
glory.

The United States leads the world in
fur farming with 2,500 fanners,having
an investment of $30,000,000.

According to experts at the Virginia
Agricultural Experiment Station, a hen
may react to serum Agglucination Test
for Bacilliary White Diarrhea and still
not lay a single egg affected with this
disease. Part of the egg of most of such
hens are infected.

Conrad Feltner, a school boy of Lon-
don, Kentucky, is attending high school
and later expects to go to college on earn—
ings he has accumulated in the past ﬁve
years. He started out with three setting
hens and now has a herd of dairy cattle,
a small fruit farm and money to pay his
schooling expenses.

MAKING HISTORY

EARLY four hundred and thirty—ﬁve years ago
Christopher Columbus, an adventurer, sailed
from Europe with three frail vessels and

120 men to discover new lands. People called
him a fool and they ridiculed his ideas but he was
not inﬂuenced by their chidings. After more
than two months of sailing on uncharted waters,
suffering many hardships and disappointments,
he sighted a new country, our own America. On
May 20th of this year Capt. Chas. A. Lindbergh,
another adventurer, a young American scarcely
25 years old, started from America alone in an
airplane to ﬂy to Europe. Like Columbus he was
called a fool but failure was not in his makeup
and he met all their objections with a smile of
conﬁdence. Thirty-three hours and twenty min-
utes later he brought his plane to a stop on the
land of France and Capt. Lindbergh had proven
that it could be done.

We wonder what Columbus would say if he
could come back to this earth and read of the
man-made bird that required less than a day and
a half to accomplish the thing that took him over
two months to do?

NATION-WIDE campaign to raise $4,000,000
to carry on a national advertising campaign
for a period of four years will be under way
by July 1st, according to Paul C. Stark, president
of Apples for Health, Inc. The campaign is to
sell apples, regardless of varieties, brands. grades,
or what part of the United States they come from.

If the opinions of some of the bean interests
in Michigan were heeded nothing would be at-
tempted, but viewing the success of the cam-
paigns put on to increase the consumption of
oranges, raisins, pineapples, bananas, and other
fruits, the sponsors of the campaign in the in-
terest of apples have plenty of reason to believe
they will succeed.

There is no question in our mind but what
the campaign will be a success, and we stillbo-
lieve that the bean interests of Michigan made
a serious mistake by not taking kindly to the
idea of advertising Michigan beans. Perhaps
some day they will realize it.

GETTING DRIVER’S LICENSE

E have been criticised for advocating the

idea of making the license of the automobile

driver good for only one year, requiring
him to renew it annually. A recent investiga—
tion in this State showing that many inmates of
insane asylums are holders of permits to drive
automobiles strengthens our belief that we are
right. If every operator of a car had to renew
his permit annually or lose the right to drive we
believe that such a condition would seldom exist.

DEATH VISITS BATH SCHOOL

E heart of Michigan bleeds for her citizens

in the vicinity of Bath, Clinton county, since

death, the grim reaper, in the form of a
demented farmer, visited their consolidated
school on May 18th cutting short the lives of
nearly two score of children and injuring as many
more. Farmers and their wives were the chief
mourners, some of them losing their only child,
many losing two, and one lost three. How even
a crazed maniac could tear out the hearts of
mothers and fathers in this way to avenge a
fancied grievance against tax collectors we are
unable to understand. .

An investigation revealed the great need' of
ﬁnanacial assistance in many of the homes. Also
the school must be rebuilt and the cost charged
to the already over-taxed land of the community.
A movement was started to seek ﬁnancial aid
from all who cared to help But before this had
gotten fairly~under way Senator James Couzens
of Detroit came forward with the offer to per-
sonally pay all funeral expenses and for the re-

building of the school. Sen. Couzens never in-
vested money any place where the dividends were
greater than here—dividends of greater happi-
ness by relieving the burdens of the needy.
Michigan thanks him from the bottom of her
heart.

 

PASSED a—CENT‘ GAS TAX BILL

N spite of all that was done to try to get our
lawmakers to put aside the Leland three—cent
gas tax bill and vote for one that made the

gas tax four cents, gave us permanent license
plates on pleasure cars and. continued the weight
tax on commercial cars and trucks only, Gov.
Green was able to whip enough of them into line
to defeat the one we hacked and put the Leland
bill across. However, the issue is not‘dead yet.
Plans are under way to circulate petitions to se-
cure thirty thousand signers requesting that the
matter be submitted to the voters.

PLENTY OF 001w BORER FUND

HERE seems to be a rumor circulating about
the State that the money to be used to pay
farmers for the cleaning up of their corn

ground to get rid of the corn borer has been
exhausted. The is wrong according

 

to Mr. A. C. Carton, State official

 

a lot of money if any of my herd
reacts,” he said. “And another ’
thing, why can’t I have a veterin—
arian from my home town do the
testing?”

The ﬁrst impression one gets of
the campaign does indicate that the
owner of reactors is a heavy loser
but with substantial salvage pay-
ments for the carcasses of his ani-
mals and federal and State indem-
nities the ultimate loss is not much
after all. Records kept by the State
over a period of years indicate that
the average net loss to the owuer
of a reactor is about $3.30. That
is taking into consideration returns
on both pure bred and grade. This
surprised our friend.

Then we surprised him further
by informing him that he could em-
ploy a local, approved veterinarian
if he wanted to, as far as the State
was concerned, just so he'got a
permit from the State, but he
would have to pay all costs of the
test and then if he did have any
reactors he could not get the fed-
eral indemnity. The State indemn-
nity could be secured but the fed-
eral indemnity is-forthcoming only
when tests are conductd in accord-
ance with the official plan. ' How-
ever, it seems the people of the
city of Detroit have taken this _

FINANCIALIS'I‘IC DEBATER

I am enclosing a clipping of a
brokers paper which has been sent
to me for some months. Can you
tell me if the Financialistlc Debater
is a reputable weekly paper?—G. T.,‘
Ingham County.

HE F‘inancialistic Debater was
incorporated in September of
1926 with Edward _V. Noonan,
President; Matthew S. Leonard,
Treasurer, and Joseph B. Enos. They
were called on by representatives of
the Boston Betted Business Bureau
who requested information which has
never been received. Also several
communications have been addressed
to the corporation, to the individual
officers and directors, as well as the
editor and they have been complete-
ly ignored.

This publication is a tipster sheet.
In its ﬁrst issues it carried the state-
ment “It may be mistaken, at times,
because no human judgment is in-
fallible. Its opininons, however, are
to be considered only as such, but
are honestly given, and with no
other purpose than to keep the in-
vestor, trader, and speculator in a
ﬁnancial path with a sure footing.”

A short time later the statement
,was changed to “Its expressions of
opinion on any security or securities,
therefore, .may be affected by its
own ﬁnancial interest in certain mar-
kets or securities."

As we understand it, they have
been constantly boosting the stock of
8. Butte Copper nsolidated Mines
Company, M listed in the B_os-
ton Curb ange, steadily urging
e0 16 to b it.

p Plersonallylywe view the advise of
the Financialistic Debater and other
tipster sheets with a great deal _of
suspicion. Few men connected w1th
them ever become rich.

“PAUNEE BILL” TREES '1‘0 COL-
LEOI‘ ANOI'HER DOLLAR 7
NE of our Allegan county sub-
scribers, advises that during
the “necktie shower" given by
“Paunee Bill” of St. Louis, Missouri,
he received a package and forward-
ed one dollar to the man through
sympathy. Since then he has re-
ceived six dunning letters requesting
him to forward a dollar or return
the ties. Apparently "Paunee Bill"
is trying to collect another dollar
to make good for one he lost some
place else.

LAND BANK OFFICIAL HELD

UY HUSTON, president of the
Chicago Joint Stock Land Bank,
which has a capitalization of

$65,000,000 and claims farm loans
totaling $50,000,000, has been ar-
rested and charged with using the
mails to defraud. The charge, it is
said, involves the organization by
him of the Farmers’ Fund of Illinois,
Inc:, the Farms Company of Massa-
chusetts, and the Missouri-Kansas
Farms Company of Kansas City, Mis—
souri, all concerns which were to
assist the farmers in secondary
ﬁnancing. It is alleged that buyers
of stock were promised that their
investments would be returned to
them through dividends accruing
from the purchase and resale of farm
properties. This and other state—
ments which the government
charged were false were sent
through the mails.

ORIGIN OF BRIDAL SHOWER

HE ﬁrst bridal shower, history

discloses, was staged in Hol-

. land many years ago, when the
father of a beautiful girl, who had
j given her heart to' a poor miller,
“forbade the marriage and withdrew
the dowry she was to have had.
Friends of the couple gathered to-
gether, however, and showered her
with gifts, thereby providing a ﬁner
dowry than her father could have
, presented. In this fashion did the
bridal shower originate and as one
of the customs brought down
through the centuries, this is a
,‘charming way for friends and ac-
quaintances to present gifts that
would seem too triﬂing if they were
given individually.

Showers for the bride of today are
given in connection with a bridge
party or luncheon. When a lunch-
eon is to be served, the hostess is
desirous of something dainty and
tasty. The following menu and re-
cipes are suggested.

Menu
Creamed Chicken in Patty Cases
Rolled and Open Face Sandwiches
Strawberry Ice Cream Angel Cakes
Mints Nuts

RHUBARB

. THE rhubarb season has arrived
and there are so many delight—

ful ways of serving it. I wish

to mention a few. Slice one pine-
apple, peel and ~cut small pieces.
Cook in a pint of water, to which 2
cups of sugar had been added, until
quite tender. Then add 4 cups more
sugar and enough sliced rhubarb to
make. 4 quarts. Cook slowly about

1 hour. Put in jars and seal.

Equal parts prunes and rhubarb,
cooked separately, combined and
sweetened to taste, makes a pleasing
sauce and also a very good ﬁlling
'for pies.

Everyone, I suppose, makes rhu-
barb pics, but how many have dis-
covered that the addition of a few
tablespoons of cream to each pie
makes them more delicious?

Never peel rhubarb for any pur-
pose. Cut in thin slices the desired
amount for pics, add sugar to taste
(at least 1 cup to each); 1 table-
spoon ﬂour and 3 or 4 tablespoons
cream, sweet or sour, to each. Mix
well before dipping into crust—B.

were gazing in a shop window and
she remarked that she would love
to have some of these new labor-
saving devices in her kitchen."

“Well, that’s settled, girls, you'll
all come around to a party at my
house one night next week and each
of you must bring the newest sort
of kitchen utensil you can lay your
hands on,” said Dora, “something
inexpensive, but practical.”

The bride-to-be was the guest of

honor at the party and great was her '

delight when she commenced to
open one parcel after another. and
found to her surprise all sorts of-
things that would add to the com-
fort and cleanliness of her kitchen.

One girl had thought to ease
Gladys’ dish washing labors by pre-
senting to her a wire scourer on a
wooden shaft, a mop for washing
dishes and a wire soap saver by
means of which odds and ends of
soap can be used up.

Another useful gift was the very

latest in omelette pans with a tray
for poaching two eggs at a time
ﬁxed into the top.
No kitchen is complete without a
set of measuring spoons, so another
friend supplied these. This cute
little set is ﬁxed together at one end
andhclosesds-onespoon when-ﬁn

 

Two .girls had clubbed together
and their gift was a most useful
meat mincer. One brought a vege—
table chopper, another a handy ap-
ple corer, while another brought a
useful little potato parer.

Knowing Gladys had a great lik-
ing for salads, another girl gave her
a wire basket for draining lettuce,
and an aluminum cutter for slicing
eggs.

There was also a jolly new-fash-
ioned egg beater that looked as if it
might do its job in the twinkling
of an eye.

Another handy thing was a per-
forated cooking spoon. This ‘saves
much time and energy when beating
a batter, creaming sugar and but-
ter, or whipping cream, and is also
invaluable for removing food such
~as poached eggs or vegetables from
a panful of liquid. ,

For washing days was a small
sprinkler for damping down the
freshly dried clothes ready for iron-
ing. A good thing about the sprink-
ler bought is that it will ﬁt over
the neck of a bottle used to hold the
water.

Another gave her a set of cookie
cutters in odd shapes—diamond,
heart, round and square. One
- brought a chain pot and pan cleaner
and a tarbox cotton dish mop on
strong twisted wire with wood
handle, and last but not least was a
can opener and corkscrew combina-
tion.

. “There is no excuse for my not
.being the perfect houseWife, " said
Gladys with a laugh.as asshe thanked

her friends and parcelled up all herb 3‘

gifts. —-w¢11 Winner in The Net’s

THE WREGK 013% OLD 97

They gave him up his orders at Monroe,
Virginia
Saying Steve you’re way behind time,
This is not “Thirty-eight” but it’s “Old
Ninety—seven,"
You must put her into Spencer on time.

Steve Brooklyn said to his black greasy

ﬁreman,
Just shovel on a little more coal,
And when we cross that white oak mom-
tain
You watch old Ninety-seven roll.

It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg
to Danville,
And a line on a thrée-mile grade,
It was on this grade when he lost his
air-brakes,
And you see what s. Jump he made.

He was going down grade making ninety
miles an hour
When his whistle began to scream,
Hewasfoundinthewreckwithhishand
on the throttle,
And was scolded to death by steam.

So come all you ladies, you must take
warning
From this time now and on, ' ‘
Never speak harsh words to your true
loving husband;
He may leave you and never return.

What Courteous Card-Player Docs and
Does Not Boa—1.1He never complains
with regard to the cards dealt him.

2. He does not criticize his partner
for real or supposed errors, but gives
him credit for his good plays.

3. He does not blame his "bad luck"
when losing.

4. He does not audibly congratulate
himself on his “good luck” when winning.

5. He does not, in bridge, continually
irritate his partner by over-bidding.

ti. He does not play erratically, so
that his partner is at a loss to know
what he really holds, and then reprove
the latter for not winning.

7. Playing a "lone" hand is a bridge
rudeness.

8. He must subordinate himself to the
aim of winning the rubber.

9. Aﬂections of manner: exultant ex-
clamations, card-table drumming, noises.
using wds as facial massage accessories.
etc., are all tabooed by the well-bred
player.

 

10. It is illmannered for anyone to i

play for more than he can afford to lose,
even though he does not disclose the fact.
unless it is certain that he will be the
only one to suffer thereby.

11. Never should a player afflicted
with a poor partner, make him plainly
aware that he is so regarded.

12. A close study of the rules of the
game will prevent the player from being
gu..ty of various minor disoourtesies he
may otherwise commit.

The Telephone GirL—Here is an excel-
lent story in whch sweet Madge Bellamy
is starred as the operator of the telephone
at a switchboard in a hotel lobby. It is
just before election and the people can-
didates. backed “by the~ women and the
churches. appear to be stronger than the
candidates of the political party. Using

 

- every Ladle pohnible to win his ﬁght, the

political boss starts out to look up the
character of these people's candidate and
ﬁnds that he made one mistake when a
young man. ‘A great detective discovers
the "”one mistake he made-but in order for
them to use it to destroy the reputation
of the people’s candidate, it will be neces-
sary that they secure the names of the
other party and the only one to know it
is the telephone girl as she has the num-
ber which the man called. The political
boss tries to buy it from her but she re-
fuses to give him the information. This
is an extremely interesting story and re-
quires excellent acting of such stars as
H’olbrook Blinn, Lawrence Gray, May

‘Ailison, and Hale Hamilton who assist

Miss Bellamy.

111135011111 PACIFIC LINES

 

 

ﬂmerican Jeni/randy ﬂre Genuine
Super-Service Institution:

MERICAN railroads are not only adequately handling an ever-increasing volume
of traffic at an ever-increasing rate—they are voluntarily offering to the public
they serve countless services outside the routine business of providing

transportation.

The Missouri Paciﬁc L1nes, for instance, maintains a corps of experts who are
working ceaselessly to assist the people in the territory served by our lines to bring
about proper agricultural development. This one branch of special service alone
reaches into thousands of communities and includes expert assistance in standard—
izing and marketing as well as in the ﬁeld of production.

Another corps of experts devote their time to bringing about industrial develop-
ment. Any person, group or industry can have the assistance of these men for the
asking. So can any community. And the entire Missouri Paciﬁc Lines organization
is ready to help in every possible way at all times to bring about further develop-
ment in any community and along any line that offers hope of success.

There are in the Missouri Paciﬁc Lines organization experts who are helping to
bring together the producers and consumers of raw materials and this staﬁ includes
such experts as a geologist.

We are proud of the fact that Chambers of Commerce, civic organizations of all
kinds and state-wide and nation—wide organizations call on us for assistance and co-
operation. This includes such vitally necessary work as taking to the people who
need it most demonstrations and information regarding such things as malaria and
typhoid control, etc.

We are proud of the fact that agricultural organizations of all kinds call on us
for assistance of every conceivable nature and most of all we are proud of the fact
that somewhere in our organization there is some expert or someone who can be of
assistance to any ﬁrm, individual, community, industry, or organization in need of
help.

That is why I say that the American railroads are super-service institutions.
And I want to add that we are glad that we are able to be of service to so many in
so many ways.

It has been said that “the measure of a man's bigness may be counted by the
little things he is willing to do.” Our ambition is to be the biggest railroad in the
World, judged by that standard. We seek the opportunity to be of service in any
way we can in addition to providing adequate and dependable transportation for all
the traffic that is offered.

I solicit your co-operation and suggestions.

Never Hoped to Be
Free From Asthma

Had Disease 15 Years. No Sign of It
Now. Cough Gone!

Suﬁferers who seem to be strugglin
in vain against asthma or severe broncbia
coughs, will be interested in knowing how
Mrs. Blanche Young, Route 5, Sheridan,
Ind” found lasting relief. She writes.

“I had asthma for 15 years, and each
year I got worse. Durlng the winter
months I would often sit up until two
o’clock in the morning—my breathing
was so bad I couldn’t lie down. I
had no appetite and was so weak from
coughing and Wheezing I could hardly
walk across the room. I never expected
to have anything more than a little tem-
porary relief, never expected to be well
again, and was fe fully blue and dis-
couraged when I hap ened to read in a.
newspaper what Naco had done in other
severe cases. I tried t as a last resort.
I commenced taking acor Nov. 17th,
Wednesday noon, and by Sunday I was a
different woman. My asthma and cough
grew less stedily. I haven’t ﬁnished
my second bottle, but my cough has left
me. I'm sleeping ﬁne and eating heartily,
and my asthma is entirely gone.’

Hundreds of just such positive state-
ments have been made by other sufferers,
telling how their asthma and bronchial
cough disappeared and never returned.
Their letters and a booklet of valuable
information about these dr diseases

To live a Christian life‘and keep
the Ten Commandments.
To do my best in everything I do.

To be true to my country, the

United States of America.

gentleman.

 

 

 

EAR girls and boys: I have just
received a letter from the pres-
ident of Our Club, Mildred

Darby, of Standish, telling me that
she has organized a local club in her
community. They have eighteen
members and the offiCers are: Jack
Bukoski, president; Bernice Darby,
vice president, and Mildred Darby,
secretary. She tells me that not all
of the members get THE BUSINESS
FARMER so she takes her copies to
the meetings so that all can read
them. That is a real good idea I
think, don’t you? All of. the mem-
bers are to receive buttons and
cards because they want to be mem-
bers in good standing.

This is the ﬁrst branch club I
have heard of. No doubt there are
more but the, officers have been so
busy getting their lessons so that
they will make their grades they
have not had time to write me. Well,
I am waiting to hear from all of you.
If you have not tried to organize a
club yet you can do so at any time,
but there is no time like the present.
Remember, do not put off until to—
morrow what which you can do
today. Send in the list of names of
the members of your club and I will
see to it that they get cards and but—
ton.

Also if you haven’t joined The
Children's Hour Club you are wel-
come at any time. All you must do
is take the pledge and then send in
two cents, cash or stamp, to pay
your initiation fee. The next mail
will bring to you a button and a
beautiful card With our motto print—
ed on it.

First prize in our recent Book
Contest went to Ruth Hess of Sebe-
waing, second prize to Anna Eisele
of Dexter, third to Regina Lenne-
mann of Eagle and fourth to Martha
Reidel of Boyne City.
was sent to each one—UNCLE NED.

 

 

Our Boys and Girls

 

 

Dear Uncle Nedz—This is the ﬁrst
time I have written to you. Well, I sup-
pose I had better describe myself as I
see all the children do. I am ﬁve feet,
three inches tail, light brown hair, brown
eyes and a medium complexion and weigh
one hundred and nineteen pounds. I am
sixteen years old.

I see that you are having a contest so
I have written my "Most Embarrasing
Moment." As Soon as T1111 BosINESS

.FARMER comes in the house I am usually

the ﬁrst one to get it and the ﬁrst thing
I turn to is the Children’s Hour.

Well, I guess I will leave room for some
of the others to write. When I write
next time I will tell you about my trip
to the Paciﬁc Coast. Your want-to-be
niece.-—-—Loretta Stewart, Newberry, Mich.
--—-Do write soon, Loretta, and tell us about
your trip. It will be interesting, I am
sure.

Dear Uncle Ned: —My courage has not

and two or three large ones were har-
nessed, too, for they used them to help
lift the tent poles up to place. A big
one lifted a wagon in line for the parade.
There were other animals to see, tigers,
lions, polar bears, seals, ponies, pigs,
camels, zebras, monkeys, and leopards.
The clowns were very interesting and so
were the performers. It was very hot in
{the tent but it was raining outside.

1' The dining tent was large and it had
many tables that had blue cloths on. The
negroes did the cooking and in the laun-
dry tent there were men who were wash-
ing and ironing, and in another tent they
shod horses and work horses were kept.
The men were cutting the horses maneo
011' and shoeing them.

The circus crew had their own horse
doctor and a. man who was mending har—
nesses. After the show we started for
home and it was raining very hard.»—

, HE Ionia-Belding Cow Testing

Association has completed three

years of testing activities. The
cow tester, Jens Hansen, who has
served this association for the great-
er share of the three years, reports
that the 389 cows averaged 8,991
pounds milk and 351 pounds butter-
fat. ~

The Isabelle-Mt. Pleasant Cow
Testing Association at the end of the
ﬁrst year reports that the following
herds averaged 300 pounds or more
of butterfat: Bert Bozer, Joe Gruss,
McNamara Bros., 'Ona Beltinck, R. V.
Hoyle, Emery Bros., Johnson Bros.,
Ned Roundtree, Paul Mossholder,
Lewis Coon, S. C. Forney, P. G. Hills,
W. C. Getchell, Ottis Tripp, Alva
Smith, Preston Johnson, and C. W.
Hunter & Son. -

The fourth year of testing work
has been closed in the Livingston
Cow Testing Association according to
Charles Metz, ’cow tester. The aver-
age production of the 254 cow years
represented in the results is 10,213
pounds milk and 369.9 pounds but-
terfat. More than half the members
have alfalfa seeded on their farms.
There are 264 acres seeded to this
crop and 67 acres of sweet clover.

The AlpenaeLeer Testing Associa-
tion has successfully concluded three
years of record keeping. Lester
Kent, the cow tester, shows that six
of the nine herds which made the
300 pound butterfat average during
the testing year concluded in De-
cember 1926 have been under test
for these three years—A. C. B.

At Manton, 300 soil samples were

SOLD YOUNG BULL TO JACKSON
FARMER

C. BADGLEY of Jackson has

added a ﬁne six months old bull

calf to his growing Holstein
herd. He purchased this calf from
R. P. Ullman of Manchester, Michi-
gan. The calf is a. rugged Well-
developed son of Ormsby Sensation
41st, who is by Ormsby Sensation,
the renowned sire of great producers
and out of Okl Pontiac Hockster, one
of the greatest daughters of Ormsby
Korndyke Lad. The dam of this
young bull is Reekdale Lula Ormsby
who has two very excellent 7 day
records made in heifer form and is
now running on year work twice a
day milking and producing a very
creditable record. Every dam "in this
young bull’s ﬁve generation pedigree
has an oﬁicial record and this young-
ster will, without a doubt, do his
share in the herd development pro-
gram that Mr. Badgley is working
on.

$55 COW INCREASES NEARLY

N increase of nearly 600 per cent
over the purchase price repre-
sented the sale of a grade Hol-

stein and calf owned by Albert
Haagstrom, Gaylord, who belongs to
the Otsego C. T. A.

Haagstrom joined the association
in August 1926. He paid $55 for
the cow which was nine years old.‘

returned to the States, they -W0uld
be giving up the results of their
years of effort, and returning-to
their native land with nothing which
could be converted into cash across
the Rio Grande. ’ .

We listened attentively to this

\seemingly justiﬁable complaint from

these fellow-countrymen of ours and
it was therefore with the utmost
pleasure that we listened-in on the
address by President Coolidge to the
'United Press, shortly after Our re-
turn in April, in which he stated
that an amicable settlement of this
dispute had- been made by our gov—
ernment which would guarantee the
payment of these Mexican bonds to.
our citizens who peacefully thus sur-
rendered their lands.

No one who has been in Mexico
can be without sympathy for the
present government and what they
are trying to accomplish in breaking
up these gigantic estates. In one es-
tate there were nearly two million
hectares (a hectare contains prac—
tically two and one—half acres).
There are more than a hundred with
over a hundred thousand hectares
each and the American publisher,
William Randolph Hearst, owns
507,000 hectares in one piece!

In contrast to these vast areas
under the ownership of one man are
the fourteen million native Mexicans,
who do not own an acre of land and
who have been dependent, for nearly
four centuries, on the charity (?)
of the land owner, who by a Well—
organized system of operating a
store, a saloon and a gambling-
house at each hacienda, kept the
peon forever in his debt.

Whether or not the present Mexi-
can government under President
Calles in enforcing the 01d laws
(which Diaz and others have only
temporized with) has taken the
right method to reach the goal of
farm-ownership, is a much—mooted
question, but that they deserve the!
helpful cooperation of our govern—
ment to that end, must be apparent
to every American who to-day visits
Mexico.

These same Americans at Manuel,
with whom we talked, had only the
kindliest words for the native Mexi—
cans and really showed a senti—
mental attachment for their adopted
land, which, if the choice were left
to them, they would prefer to see
unchanged.

Tampico

“Cosily nestling in a sunny corner
of one of the most opulent of the
Mexican states, with an astonish—
ingly fertile tropical country at her
back, a sea of golden oil beneath her
feet, a sempiternal blue sky above
and a broad ocean teeming with ﬁne
ﬁsh at her very door, Tampico pos—
sesses advantages greater than those
of a half—dozen other Mexican cities
combined!” That is what one guide—
book says and because we were there
on a Sunday and the sky was blue,
we have to take the author’s word
for the other advantages which Tam—
pico boasts.

Tampico was to us the least Mex—
ican of the cities we saw south of
the line and the gigantic oil tanks,
which are stretched as far as the
eye could reach in every direction
around the harbor, are undoubtedly
the answer. Here for many years
have come the ships from England,
Germany, Holland, France, Italy and
the United States to suck into their
empty bellies the crude-oil on which
mankind is today so dependent.

What Mexico has had in return
for this draining of her greatest
natural resource, I had not the time
to discover, but it is a perfectly safe
wager that had she received a fair
compensation for every gallon of the
priceless liquid pumped from her
bowels, the present poverty of the
great mass of native Mexicans would
not be so apparent. But that is the
history of natural resources in coun—
tries which boast of a. greater en-
lightenment than poor MexiCo! That
the present government should be
trying to retrieve this loss by regu-
latory laws is not surprising, and
that the foreigner reﬁners, who
have so long had, the advantage of
little regulation should not be in-
dignant at '_'this curtailment of. their

Little oil was going out 'of Tamr
pico When we were there the last of '
March. The overproduction Of
crudesthroughout the world made it
easy for the operators to stop pump-
ing and close their reﬁneries as a.
gesture, of deﬁance to the Mexican
government. We heard in Tampico
that oil—boats had, for years, made.
a practice of smuggling in arms and
ammunitions on their return trips,
for the purpose of supplying any re-
volutionary party, which would show
signs of strength enough to over«
throw the present government and
thus put the oil-reﬁners back on
“easy street.” That is an ugly story
and one that we would hesitate to.

A Mexican Agricultural School

It was in Celaya, that we ﬁrst met
Luis L. Leon, Minister of Agricul-
ture, in the cabinet of President
Calles, and visited one of the four
agricultural schools which are being-
completed in this country. Their
plans were explained to us by Enric '
Muris, director of this school and a.
graduate of Texas Agricultural Col—-
legs, a native Mexican, and a class-
mate of our own Cully Cobb who af-
fectionately recalled his college,
nick-name “Mex.”

These schools are exclusively for
the purpose of educating the boys of
Mexicon peon families in the modern
practices of agriculture and animal
husbandry. The boys are brought
in, bright—eyed and willing to learn,
but about as near the lowest step on
the ladder of education as it would
be possible to get. Their work is
divided into half days; a half-day in
the ﬁeld for every half-day in the
class—room. A plan which doubles
the teaching capacity of the school
and helps to make them self-sup-
porting. “We want these boys to go
back to the neighborhoods from
whence barefooted they came to us,
as examples of what education will
do,” said Mr. Muris. “We Want
them to go back and teach their
own people the kind of farming we
have taught‘ them. We do not ex-',
pect them to wear white collars and
pose as experts who are afraid to
soil their hands. We want them to,
help their own people and we are,
going to help them get started on
land of their own by loaning them
the capital, through our cooperative,
banks to buy the equipment they.
need. In these boys you see the ﬁrst
chance which has been given the;
Mexican native since the Spaniard
Cortez, landed here at the beginning
of the ﬁfteenth century!”

He then brought out a boy and
showed us his sandals, worn through,
in which this lad had trudged
through desert and over mountains
for nearly a hundred miles simply
because he had heard of a school
“Where he could learn something!”

“And he was taken in with no other,

credentials than this worthy ambi-
tion. ‘

Most of the boys who come, see
for the ﬁrst time the most common‘
of our present-day conveniences.
The ordinary cook—stove replaces-
their mothers’ heated stones; the'
plow takes the place of the sharp‘
stick; a bed with white, clean sheets
replaces the hard ground with only'
a blanket. When the school opened
they gave each boy a tooth—brush
and a tube' of tooth-paste, but the
sweet paste was too great tempta?
tion, the boys ate it! The school at‘
Celaya would do credit to any part
of the United States and was, with-'
out a doubt, the most commendable
and encouraging thing we saw in old
Mexico. '

(Editor’s Note: In the next is-

sue we will visit Mexico City, the,

ancient pyramids and a banana plan-i
tation with Mr. Slocum.) '

PICA on DEPR'AVED APPETITE
"We have a heifer two years old.

Lately she eats all rags and strings

or clothing she gets a hold of. She
seems in perfect health. Could you

‘tell me if there is any help for it

and what to do for her?-———Mrs. McC.,
Manistee County.
HIS condition is known as pica
T or depraved appetite. It is due
to some mineral deﬁciency and
I take it that this is probably phos-
phorus and possibly calcium or lime.
If you will give this heifer 5 or 6
tablespoonfuls of bonemeal each day
on her feed for 5 or 6 weeks it should
correct this trouble. Give this in a
hex where the cattle can eat it at
any time they want it while they are
on pasture. This is getting to be
quite a common trouble in many sec-
tions of the country at this season
of the year. If you do not correct
this trouble you are liable to have
considerable breeding trouble soon
with your herd.

MANGE

Will you please publish recipe for
curing mange on horses?—W. K.,

Omer, Michigan.
F your horse is affected over much
I of an area the only thing to do
is to get some good stock dip
and wash this horse as often and in
the dilution that the manufacturer
recommends. If but a. small area
the following will do: Oil of tar,
5 per cent; Sulphur,,6 per cent; Ker-
osene, 89 per cent. Paint this on
once daily with a small paint brush.

SCOURS
, We would like your advice. We
have a pet cat that has the scours
very bad. We would like to know
what to do for him. He is a young
cat and is liked very much by the

 

children, so We would like very much .

to keep him.-—-Mrs. R. E., Daggett,
Mich.
IVE this cat very light feeds of
fresh milk; in each feeding a
“ tablespoonful of lime water; if
this does not bring about a satisfac-
tory change in 3 or 4 days, change
and place 5 drops of formalin in
each feeding of milk.

REMOVE WARTS

Will you please tell me what to
apply on cows’ teats to rid them of
warts? One of the cows has them
so thick that they are in clusters
and have come to her while she has
been dry. She will be dry for an‘
other month, so this would be a ﬁne
time to apply the ointment on them.
A. 8., Arnold, Mich.

"4.1 would recommend the follow-

lowing: Salicylic acid, 2 drams;
collodion, 1 ounce. Apply this with
a small camels hair brush once
daily for one week.

RUST ON CUCUMB‘ERS

‘We are having trouble trying to
raise cucumbers. Ten years ago
we used to raise all we wanted with:
out any trouble. The last three years
we can’t get any. The vines get full
grown and then turn brown—Mrs.
W. F., Wayne County.

HE symptoms you describe leave
no doubt in my mind but what
your cucumber vines are being

killed \by rust also called blight.

This disease can not easily be

cured once the vines become infect—
ed but can usually be held in check
if the following rules are observed.

Do not attempt to grow cucumbers

in ground which has recently grown
cucumbers, melons or others of this
family of plants. '

 

'Begin spraying when vines start '
to run and every ten days thereafter »

N 0 half-way verdict- Camel is supreme

THE American people have had many
favorites. But there’s never been a
choice like Camel.
, Camel is the most popular cigarette
this nation ever had. Millions unite
to place it ﬁrst, and. there’s no com-
parison. Camel is supreme.

There must be reasons back of such
a preference. There must be moun-

~ tain-high quality in this famous ciga-

rette to make millions join in saying,
"I will have only Camel.”

That is true. Camel quality is just
as supreme as its leadership. In Camel,

no substitute has ever been made for
quality. No compromise has ever been
made with expense. For Camels, the
country’s largest tobacco organization
buys the choicest Turkish and Do-
mestic tobaccos grown. There simply
are no better tobaccos or blending.

If you don’t yet know that supreme
tobacco enjoyment, try Camels. All
the taste and fragrance, all the mild
and mellow pleasure you ever hoped
to ﬁnd! We invite you to compare
them with any cigarette made, regard-
less of price. "Have a Camel!”

stealing any poultry of aucther,
where the value 0f such poultry Stol-

en shall exceed the value of twenty-_

ﬁve dollars, shall be punished by im-
prisonment in the State Prison for
not less than one year nor more than
ﬁve years.

“Section 2. In case such poultry
stolen shall not exceed the value of
twenty-ﬁve dollars, such person
shall be punished by imprisonment
in the State Prison for ,not less than
one year nor more than ﬁve years.

“Section 2. In case such poultry
stolen shall not exceed the value of
twenty-ﬁve dollars, such person shall
be punished by imprisonment in the
county jail not to exceed ninety days
or by a ﬁne not to exceed one hun—
dred dollars of by both ﬁne and im—
prisonment in the discretion of the'
court.

“Section 3. Upon conviction for
a second offense where the value of

the poultry stolen shall be less than,
twenty-ﬁve dollars, such person shall

be imprisoned in the State Prison
for not more than ﬁve years.

“Section 4. The term ‘poultry’ as
mentioned in this act shall mean
chickens, turkeys, geese, or ducks,
or any other domestic fowls or any
combination thereof.”

In our estimation the ﬁrst bill is
far the most important one. In fact,
we do not look for very great beneﬁt
from the second bill. It is apparent—
ly needed in some sections Where a
small ﬁne or thirty days in jail has
been considered ample punishment
for stealing poultry. But in a coun—
ty like Oakland where thieves have
been receiving all the way from one
to ﬁfteen years with the recommen-
dation of quite a heavy sentence, this
new bill will not allow them to deal
as severely with the thieves as they
would like to.

(Continued from page 4)

tences of from one to ﬁve years, and.
there are other cases of severe pun-
ishment, like is being handed out by
the judges of Oakland county,irang-
ing from one to ﬁfteen years.

On the other hand, we have before

us a. case from Huron county where- -

by a man pled guilty to a Charge of
stealing poultry and was ﬁned
$14.45. Then we have another-in
Van Buren county where the fellow
spent ﬁfteen days in the county jail
and paid a ﬁne of $12 40 plus the
court charge.

Not As Serious

While the situation is not as seri—
ous atf-persent as ‘it was six or eight

months ago, there’is still plenty’t’tr-

do. THE BUSINESS FARMER has paid
out two rewards and at the present
time is investigating several other
cases. We are in hopes that our ef-
forts along this line will do much
more in the future than they have in
the past to discourage the“ stealing
of poultry, and we believewiththe
assistance of our two new laws poul-
try stealing will continue to show a,
decided decline.

AS we want to keep fully posted
on the activities of the thieves
throughout the State we hope you
will continue to send in reports to
assist us in following this matter
closely. '

The old slogan is “An apple a day keeps

$4,511.81 From 1400 Hens in Four Months

VER hear of “Mary’s Eighty?"
It is the name of a farm of
2010 acres, just off the Orchard
Lake road, two miles south of Or—
chard Lake, in Oakland county. A
large part of the income of this
farm is derived from poultry, and
thereby a story hangs.

Believing that the hatcheryman
who devotes his entire time to the
production of high producing hens,
yet does not force his birds for heavy
laying during the winter months,
and has all of the best of equip—
ment to do the hatching is better
qualiﬁed to turn out high grade
chicks than they are, according to
Manager Glenn '1‘. Elle, they pur—
chased 3500 chicks from a Macomb
county hatchery. These chicks were

purchased May 12, 1926, and
brooded in 12x12 colony houses,
about 450 to a house. Within a.

few days it was possible to turn
them out in small yards as the wea—
ther was warm and to this, they be—
lieve, they can credit the very few
cases of leg weakness they had.

A total of 1640 broilers were sold
from the ﬂock besides 80 mature
pullets in the fall, and 1400 pullets
went into the laying house on Octo-
ber 20th. Ninety-four eggs were laid
the ﬁrst day of November, and 13,-
804 during the month. The eggs
produced during November from
$224.06 worth of feed sold for

$691.04 to a large lunchroom con-é

cern. This concern takesall of

their eggs and they are delivered

twice a week by truck.

up only $25.14 above November
while 26,363 eggs were laid and they
brought $1,487.96. Their records
at the end of January showed 27,350
eggs laid during that month on feed
costing $254.84 and they sold for
$1,367.43. February’s record was
24,591 eggs, sold for $955.38, with
a feed cost of $220.35.

The complete record for the four
months is 1400 pullets, estimated to
have cost 90 cents each when put in
the laying house, or a total of
$1,260, plus $948.45 worth of feed,
produced 118,621 eggs that sold for
$4,511.81. Subtracting the output
from the income you have'$2,303.36
left over. All feed, producedon the
farm or purchased, was charged at
market value so that the ﬁgures
would be accurate.

“We feel that the success of this
ﬂock was due largely to the excellent
chicks we had to start with and to
the expert care and feeding of Mr.
Thos. Powell, formerly with the lay—
ing contest at M. S. C.,
Ells. “The chicks from the start
were never pampered, nor have the
hens b’een. They have had plenty of
good feed, and during the summer

the chicks were three weeks old they
were turned loose with free range.

Several other excellent egg pro-
duction records have appeared in
our columns during the last few
months and We Will be pleased to re-
ceive any others our g00d friends

Wet Weather Rules Grain Markets

0 Fat Cattle Sell High While Hogs Are Headed Other Way
-’ By W. W. FOOTE, Market EditOr.

, HE weather is the main factor in
affecting the crops that will be
grown on the farms of the

United States this year, and it has
been of paramount importance as the
spring has advanced, as a late spring
has caused apprehensions in an ex-
tremely large part of the country,
farm work being seriously delayed
by the almost incessant rains and
by an unseasonably low temperature
in the middle west, as well as else-
where. Of course, by far the most

(‘overwhelming disasters to farmers

 

have taken place in an enormous re-
gion of the south, where the unpre-
cedented terrible ﬂoods made havoc
with the country and effectually
blocked all possible chances of grow-
ing any crops worth mentioning this
year at least. Enormous sums of
money must be spent for the rebuild-
ing of the dykes in several great
agricultural states, and great num-
bers of farmers will be obliged to
borrow money from the banks to pay
for seeds and to tide them over to
next year. Northern and western
farmers have been in many instances
perplexed to know what course to
follow in seeding and planting, but
in the more favored districts where
the weather was favorable such work
was rushed without thought of time,
tractors being worked day and night
in many instances. Where rains were
most persistent many grain farmers
were in doubt whether or not to do
the usual seeding, and to some ex-
tent other things were substituted,
soy beans being planted more
largely here and there.

There is a tendency to diversify
the crops more than in the past, but
Michigan farmers show no disposi-
tion to curtail the wheat area, and
probably corn will always be the
great grain crop of the country,
since it is the principal feed for live
stock. In the long run Wheat is a
good crop to raise, and so are corn
and oats. Many farmers intend to
hold their marketable corn until the
next crop is raised, and much infer-
ior corn is being fed on the farms of
th country.

Boom in Grain Prices

After waiting for many weeks,
farmers who had nearly lost hOpe of
any important betterment of prices
for corn and the other grains have
been taken by surprise because of
the recent great changes in the great
markets of Chicago and other cities
of the United States. It is due of
course to the ﬂoods and incessant
heavy rains in most parts of the
country which have kept farmers
from the ﬁelds and seriously delayed
seeding and planting in most dis-
tricts. With a large part of the
United States and Canada still wait-
ing for planting, it looks like a re-
duced grain acreage in the aggre-
gate, and this has stimulated the
speculation in Wheat and corn es-
pecially, and aggregate sales of the
two cereals on the Chicago Board of
Trade reached the largest propor—
tions seen in many months. A short
time ago wheat soared to a new crop
peak when it sold at $1. 55, but
broke later the same day to $1. 50.
011 that day thero was a panic on the
Winnipeg market, with sales of May
wheat at $1.60 to $1.70. Corn, oats,
and rye sold at the highest prices on
the crop, May corn soaring to about
93 cents, comparing with 69 cents a
year ago; oats to 50 cents, compar-
ing with 40 cents a year ago; and
rye to $1.201, comparing with 87
cents a year ago. These prices are
interesting as comparisons with
those of last year. Exports of wheat
have increased of late materially,
and big exports of rye have reduced
the visible supply in this country to
4,803,000 bushels comparing with
11,812,000 bushels at this time last
year.

Cattle Wanted for Grazing

time since grazing became good
there has been a good demand in
the Chicago market for thin well-
bred cattle to ship to the surround-
ing country. Early in the season
ruling prices were low, particularly
for rather ordinary lots, and plenty
of bargains were picked up, even
choice kinds selling comparatively
low, and undoubtedly many owners
of such cattle will come out with
handsome proﬁts when the time
comes to return them to market as
fat beeves. Stockers and feeders

Chicago at, $7.75 to $9.50, compar-
ing with $12 to $14.50 a year ago;
$10.15 to $12.25 two years ago and
$6.40 to $7.50 three years ago.
Farmers have lost faith in the hog

market. Hog marketing at packing
points for the year shows a gain
over last year, but far less than for
the preceding three years. Light
hogs are the highest sellers.

A GLANCE AT THE MARKEIS
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
by Market News Service.
ARM Markets took an upward turn
1n May. Corn advanced 18 cents.
Spot cotton at near 16 cents was
within two cents of last season's price.
Wheat rose on poor crop reports, taking
the other grains and mill feeds along.

purchased more recently sold at far
higher prices, most owners much
preferring to ﬁnish them, as the out-
look appeared to be bright for choice
fat cattle. Stock steers of quality
have been really scarce much of the
time, and between the small offer—
ings and the high prices asked by
sellers, shipments to farming dis~
districts fell off considerably much
of the time. There are reported to
be fewer cattle ine th country than a
year ago, and the reduced farm hold-
ings are reﬂected by the smaller re-
ceipts in the markets of the country
this year than in recent years.
Fat. Cattle Sell High

Fat cattle are still bringing un-
usually high prices, and recent sales
were made on the Chicago market
of beef steers at an extreme range
of $9 to $13.85, largely at $9.50 to
$12, with heavy lots going‘the high-
est and best yearlings at $12.25.
Fewer cattle have arrived in western
packing points this year than in re-
cent years, and the proﬁts on well
fed kinds are greatly increased. A
year ago steers sold at $7.50 to $10,
two years ago at $7.75 to $11.60 and
three years ago at $6.75 to $11.50.
Fat heifers sell at $9.50 to $11 and
stockers and feeders at $8.35 to
$10.25, chieﬂy at $8.65 to $9.50.
Dairy cows are active at $90 to
$115. Cattle hides are much higher,
selling at about 4 cents more than a
year ago.

Much larger receipts of hogs have
put prices still lower, with sales in

Planting is late in the grain country of
the United States and Canada. Beef
cattle touched high point of the season.
Carlot supply of potatoes and cabbage
was a bit light and prices rose sharply.
Even the apple market gained a little.
Butter was a slightly weak feature be-
cause of increasing supply. There was
little change in eggs, cheese, and mis—
cellaneous products. ‘
Grain

Grain markets have felt the effect of
cool, backward weather in the United
States and Canada. The new Argentine
crop' is also delayed by weather. Both
wheat and corn reached highest points
of the season toward the end of May.
Good export demand is reported for hard
winter wheat at near $1.50 per bushel.

Corn planting is late and it seems that
only a long favorable season will insure
a full crop. Prices are 20 cents higher
than a year ago, most of the advance
taking place in May. Market supples
seem moderate in quantity. Oats, rye,
and barley shared the upward movement
to some slight extent. Mill feeds, espec-
ially gluten, hominy, and cottonseed, were
inclined to rise with the grain. Some of
the demand has shifted to wheat shorts
and middlings which have not gone up
much. Hay markets continued dull and
nearly unchanged.

Livestock

Beef cattle, long the weak feature of
the livestock market, have been reﬂecting
the better underlying conditions, chieﬂy
the limited number available and in pros—
pect. Some lines, since the middle of
May, have touched highest point since
war times. Hog prices find some difﬁculty
in holding near $10 at Chicago. Sheep
and lambs tend lower but spring lambs
still bring good returns.

Wool
Wool markets continue to feel the sup-

Ex:-

Eggs went off about two cents in May,
but receipts are lighter new. Surplus
eggs were being stored all through the
month, causing dealers to worry about
the heavy holdings to be moved in fall

out of cold storage faster than in early
spring. Fresh supplies have been liberal
but dunand is good and prices hold fair-
ly steady. , .
Pot-co co

Potatoes and cabbage have been strong
features of the vegetable market. Old
potatoes toward the end of May sold
above $3.00 per 100 pounds and new above
$4 in producing sections. The prospect
is for moderate supply in mid-summer,
owing to some frost and ﬂood injury in
southwestern sections and a slightly back-
ward, uneven crop in parts of the East.
Potatoes look well in Virginia and New
Jersey, two leading late summer states.
Cabbage has been short because of the
drought in southeastern states.

Choice hand picked pea beans continue
in a healthy condition with the price
some higher than quoted in our last issue.

“There is a broader demand for wool
and the tendency of prices is upward
both here and in the west. The call has
been principally for the ﬁner qualities.
This reﬂects better demand for goods.
"Heavy buytng has been the rule in Tex-
as, Nevada, Utah and Oregon, with some
activity in Wyoming at prices substan-
tially back to the February contract levels,
while 330 to 350 is the general price level

. Week of June 5
AINFALL will be light during
early part of this week al—
though a storm center will be
just leaving the stats about Sunday
and another will be coming in close
to the middle of the week. However,
the big feature of the unsettled
weather conditions early in this
week will be the high winds that are
quite apt to do some damage in scat—
tered counties.

Rainfall will become more prom-
inent about Thursday or Friday with
some rather heavy downpours. The
week ends with high winds, thunder

.storms and scattered showers or 10—

cal rains.
Week of June 12

The unsettled weather, thunder
showers and winds of last week will
run over into this week in most parts
of Michigan. As these conditions
continue through the first half of
the week the temperatures will be
rising. By the middle of the week
and, past the temperatures will be
much higher. While the sky will be
mostly clear about Thursday, the
latter part of the week will be
cloudy, unsettled with t h u n d e r
showers locally.
