THOUT a doubt the most sue-d

speeches , during ' thesis, .meetings,. as

well as during an ofthe others, were-
very practical and to the point. The

speakers had the hatcherymen’s
problems well'in mind and handled
them most successfully.

Wednesday morning was spent in
discussing the shipping problems of

men as, Hon. R. S. Regar, Third As-

Thursday evening at seven o'clock I

the banquet was held in the Armory.
There has never been sucha banquet

of the hatcherymen before; By this -

time there were nearly 1500 dele-
gates, which is about 500 more than
ever before, and they were all at the
banquet. Both the food and the en-
tertainment could not be surpassed
in any manner.

Friday brought'to a close a won-
derful convention. This day ‘was
spent in a business session.

The people of Michigan should
feel proud that the International
Baby Chick Association chose this
State for its convention and the men
who are directly responsible for the
success of this convention have every
reason to feel that their work has
been well done, for they have shown
the hatcherymen from other states
that the hatcherymen of Michigan
are wide awake and can entertain
their guests royally.———Lee Grinnell.

_ Part VII
Received by President Calles

: 1 By GEORGE M. SLOCUM

,, HEN Cortez came to Mexico, he

i landed ﬁrst in Vera Cruz and

since that time it has been the

‘ aprincpal port, now only rivalled by

z Tampico, its neighbor to the north.

More than once has this port ﬁgured

_I in our own history and as lately as

1914, our own marines landed there,

after a skirmish in which several

were killed, to protect American in-
terests.

It was here we met Genral Gomez,
leader of the military forces in Mex—
ico, and probably a strong contender
for the presidency at the elections to
be held this fall. He seemed glad to
see us, extended a warm hand-shake
and a smile and explained, through
his interpreters, that anything we
wanted in Mexico was ours. The
control of the army is his, the sol-
diers are alone responsible for the
conduct'of the election, so if he is
not elected by an “over—whelming”

‘, majority it will only be because he
; has decided that it is safer and more
pleasant, simply to be a General.
‘3 ,By order of the mayor, the band
5 played in the plaza an extra hour in
our honor, the evening we were in
Vera Cruz, and would have serenad—
ed us on our departure at six o’clock
the next morning, if we had not ex-
plained that like ice cream, the aver-
age Americaﬁ cares little about
music before breakfast.

We wanted to see more of Vera
Cruz and someday we hope to re—
turn, perhaps by steamer from New
York or New Orleans, to enter Mex—
..( ico at this charming port and follow

again by rail the route up OVer the
mountains taken by Cortez and his
band of intrepid invaders, as they
fought their way though harassed by
jungle, savages and fever, towards
the golden capital of the Emperor
Montezuma, which is to this day the
capital of this great republic.

Vera Cruz to Orizaba

'Today two gigantic electric en—
gines have been attached to our
heavy train of American Pullman

- cars, because we are to climb the
steepest railway grade in all the
world. At one section of the line
we will climb from an elevation of
1,510 feet to 2,710 feet within
twenty miles. Fortune favors me
for, because I carry a motion picture
camera, the railway oﬁicals have
given me a seat of honor, beside the
engineer, who from one throttle
controls the thousands of electric
horses, which pull our train as easily
and as steadily up the steep grades
and around the sharp curves, as if it
were a. child’s train of toy cars. Once
raging modern torrents now har—
nessed by modern turbines, furnish
the “white coal” to drive our loco—
motives.

many places it would be easy to drop

AMERICAN AGRICULTURAL EDITORS MEET PRESIDENT OF LIEXICO

President Cellos, under whose guidance the editors and their wives were entertained in Mexico, received the group in‘

Cobb, Presrdent Calles, and Minister of Agriculture Leon,

2,713 feet above sea-level, we get out
to visit a coffee grove and to pick
some of the berries which are about
the size of a hickory nut and con—
tain two green beans. When roast—
ed they become the fragrant brown
coffee, which is the breakfast bever—
age of the world. The coffee trees
begin bearing in two or three years
and would grow to a height of twen—
ty feet, if they were not nipped at
about six feet to strengthen the tree
and make it easy for the pickers.
They are planted about six feet
apart and often among banana trees
to shield the young plants from the
sun. Mexico is not famous for the
quality of its coffee, but many thou—
sands of tons are exported to the
United States annually, doubtless to
appear in fancy packages as import-
ed Java and Mocha.

Orizaba

Orizaba is famous in Mexico‘ for
what made Milwaukee famous in the
pre-Volstead days, in our own arid
country. Her brewery is the largest
on the American continents today,
procuring six hundred cases of sixty
bottles each, every hour of every
day, and working night and day now
to keep up with a mysterious de-
mand for the amber liquid which
comes from somewhere north of the

line. The Rio Grande must be like
our own Detroit river, which they
say is the strangest in all the world,
because it is dry on one side and wet
on the other and still is wetter on the
dry side than it is on the wet side!
Although there are many large
breweries in Mexico, the mass of the
population are too poor to afford
beer and depend on a milk—like juice
of the cactus, called “pulque” (pul—
key) which ferments so quickly that
it is sucked into goat—skin bags by
the peons and carried to the markets
where it must be consumed within
forty—eight hours or it spoils. Pulquc
looked so much like our own dairy
product, that many of the party tried
it, before they learned how it was
gathered and that the goat—skin was
turned inside out with the hair left
on, to give the product a rare ﬂavor
which the peon would surely miss if
it were delivered in sterile glass con—
tainers!

At Orizaba we saw a monument
“to the gallant sons of the State of
Vera Cruz” who lots their lives in
the war of 1847 with the United
States. One wonders about war, and
its place in the scheme of things,
when he views it from the other side.

received by Plutarcho Elias Calles,
president of the second largest re-
public of the two Americans, and a
man who Isaac Marcosson says “is
a ﬁgure of more vital interest to the
American people than any other
world executive.” That he is of the
itooscvoltiun stamp, impresses you
immediately from the ﬁrst snap of _
his iron jaw in the sharp decisive 35'"
manner in which he speaks. A
school—teacher by training, he was
pressed into military and political
service early in the series of revolu-
tions which followed the thirty-two
year dictatorship of l’orﬁro Diuz.

He spoke to us in Spanish and
thus through an interpreter, just as
our own president must of necessity,
speak through a third person to the
representatives of Latin—American
countries. What a crime, we thought,
that this barrier of languages must
.prove a. handicap to mutual under-
standing of near—neighbor’s problems
from one generation to another, for
how difficult it is, to translate into
another language and through an-
other’s lips, the inner thoughts and
meanings, which come from our
hearts. ’

The president did make it clear,
however, that although we were his
guests, he expected us to cover up
nothing that we saw, to give his adv
ministration credit only where cre-
dit was due and that he entertained
only the kindliest regard and ads
miration for the great republic to
the north, contrary reports notwitlh
standing. That he was immensely
gratiﬁed to see a body of men and
women, representing a total circula-
tion of more than eleven million -
farm homes in the United States;
engaged in a ﬁrst—hand investigation
into the problems of Mexican agri~
culture was evidenced by the count-3
less courtcsies which his governs -
ment and its representatives, afford?- - .
ed us, as its guests, at every turn. .-

The former president Obregon is
a, staunch friend and advisor of}~
Calles and when we were at' the.
capital, both were living at the castle?
and in daily communication. “TheL
present laws allow a president only
a single two-year term, so it is .g' "
erally rumored that Obregon will“;
a candidate again at the fall aw
tions. 3 V‘

GET PEROH FOR OUT OF STATE

Is there a law in Michigan prohib-
iting me to send to a ﬁshery outside
of the State of Michigan for perch
ﬁsh and then sell them to the neigh—
bors? I do not sell for proﬁt, it is
merely a club order. I have been
told I have no right to do ‘this as the
state law forbids to have perch in
possession at this time of year.
These are a different kind of. perch
from‘what we have here.—A. J. Y.,
Burr Oak, Mich.

HERE is no prohibition against
T selling perch in Michigan, which
have been shipped into this
State, provided such ﬁsh are of legal
size, which is 9 inches for sale.
There is no prohibition in Michigan
against the sale of perch taken either
Within or outside the State, which
are 9 inches in length. —L. J. Young,
Director of Conservation.

 

NINE HOURS PER DAY
Is there a law in Michigan govern—
ing the wages of girls, namely,
clerks, oﬁice girls, etc.? If so, what
is the minimum wage for girls who
work from 8:30 a. m. to 5:30 p. m.?
—C. P. E., Ypsilanti, Mich.

HERE is no State law limiting
the amount of wages, or speci—

fying the minimum amount
which shall be paid office girls,
clerks, etc. The 1aw.provides that

no female shall be compelled to
work longer than an average of 9
hours a day, and that no discrimin-
ation shall be made between men
and women as to wages to be paid
for factory work—Legal Editor.

what to do for it?—l. W. S., Perry,
Mich.

ROM 3. description of the'cider
I should judge that it had come
in contact with copper and the
acetic acid in the cider had reacted
with the copper to form copper ace-
tate. This would account for the
cider turning green upon standing.
I should advise that if the cider
is drawn through a copper faucet or
comes in contact in any way with
copper that the copper be replaced
with wood—F. W. Fabian, Res.
Assoc. in Bacteriology, M. S. C.

CATTLE ON ROAD

Can my neighbor drive cattle on
the road if the road isn’t fenced?
He has land on both sides of my land
and he drives cattle on road two to
four times a day.—A. S., Bendon,
Mich.

OUR neighbor would have a

right to drive his cattle along

the road, in going to and from
his farm, but, of course, could not
allow them to run at large in the
highway—Legal Editor.

muskrats in Michigan?—P. L. K.,

won’t' keep unleser boil the brine
once a month. I took it out of. the
old brine that it made itself and
made a' new one and boiled it and
when it cooled I put it back in the
barrel. Will you please tell me if

it will keep and what to do with it? '

—~Mrs.‘J. M., MoGregor, Mich. .
NO one can 'tell you deﬁnitely

   

as to whether your pork: willy

salted and is kept in a cool rather
dry place, there is no reason what-
ever why it should not keep satis-
factorily, although it should be
watched to see that the brine re—
mains clear in color and free from
any tendency to become ropy. Aside
from keeping this meat in a cool
place and watching the brine very
closely there is nothing that can be
done. Should your storage facili-
ties be unsatisfactory and your meat
gives indications of spoiling it would
be best to fry it down. ——-Geo. A.

WEIGHT TAX

EAR E'DI'TOR: A word about

the weight tax. It seems that

anyone could see that the pres-
ent weight tax is a very unfair thing
as the people in the rural districts
and others in the north can only
run their cars four to six months
while in the southern part of the
State and in cities they can run 365
days and as many nights if they
want to. There are a lot of people
who would keep an old car and a
good one if it wasn’t for the weight
tax. My car stands in the shed with-
out a license, and I know of others
who refused to buy a license. We
are using our trucks. Many a trip that
we would make on 3. 4c gas tax that
we don’ t make on the weight tax.—
E. L. V., Shepherd, Mich.

 

DON’T NEED RABBITS

EAR EDITOR: I wish to back
Mr. Loomis in his opinion of
the importation of rabbits. We

certainly don’t need them. The Di-
rector of Conservation must listen to
people who go hunting during a
storm, when all rabbits are in holes
and who come home and spread the
story that rabbits are scarce, as an
excuse for their poor luck. Those
people should bring Mr. L. J. Young
along and come to this county after
a light snow when it turns pleasant.
They will ﬁnd about every ﬁeld
tracked by rabbits similar to sheep
tracks where a large ﬂock of sheep
pastures. No, we dont want rabbits
imported! If there are sections that
want more rabbits, let Mr. Young
g1ve us permission to catch them in
the ways we wish and a few sections
like ours can supply the State.

Now I would not like to have the
impression that I think rabbits
should be exterminated. What I
mean is that‘ rabbit control should
be decided by townships where the
officers are aware of local condi-
tions. Rabbit population is largely

For instance, I’m of the opinion that ,
government encouragement of use of,
fruit juices and beer would put boot-
leggers out of business. What do
others think?——S. V. Lowell, Cass!

“The Farm Paper of Service"

 

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?

HAT do you} think of the 30 gas tax passed

by the Legislature during its recent session

by special request of Gov. Green? Do you
you approve of it or don't you? We have received
several letters regarding it but we want more of
them, lots more of them, in the immediate future.
The tax goes into effect September 5th and we
would like to hear from our folks within the next
couple of weeks. If you have discussed it with
your neighbors tell us what they think about
it, too.

' WE'LL SEE YOU AT M. S. C.

HE farmers of Michigan are fortunate. They
T are fortunate that they live in such a ﬁne
state where they are the last to feel an agri-
cultural depression and the ﬁrst to recover be-
cause of diversity of crops. And they are for-
tunate for many other reasons, despite the corn
borer, quack grass, picture agents, chicken
thieves, and what not. One reason they are for-
tunate is that July 31 to August 6 is Country
Life Week at the Michigan State College and they
are going to have the opportunity to meet and
listen to agricultural leaders of not only the
United States but many other countries as well.
Among the foreign countries to be represented at
the International Country Life conference are
Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Denmark, England,
Czechoslovakia, Japan, Norway, Russia, Brazil,
Bulgaria. and Switzerland. Leading agricultur-
ists of those nations will be present and many of
them will speak, telling of the country life in
their own far away lands. Most of us would en-
joy visiting each of these countries and study-
ing the agriculture of each, but our pocket—book
will not permit it. Now these men are coming to
our country, to our own state, to tell us more in
a few moments than we could learn in years, and
all we have to do is go to East Lansing, to the
M. S. C., to hear them. An opportunity that will
probably never come to us again.

And here is a chance to kill two birds with
one stone, as the saying goes, because Farmers’
Day comes during that week. August 4th is the
exact date Farmers' Day is always a worth
while event that brings thousands of farmers
together on the College campus where an elabor-
ate educational and entertaining program is
put on.

We'll see you Country Life Week at M. S. 0.,
folks.

 

LOOKING OUT FOR THE PARKER

INCE bovine tuberculosis eradication work has
been making such good headway in Michigan

the price of cattle from this state has been
climbing rapidly upward because of shipments to
eastern states for replacement in areas where the
test is under way. Now shipments of cattle from
other states are ﬁnding their way into Michigan
to later go eastward as Michigan cattle at a fancy
price. Herbert E. Powell, State Commissioner of
Agriculture, advises some of these animals are
from badly infested areas and are exposed sub

 
  

and react to the 1192!; test. Therefore we do not ;-_ I
want them in our herds or shipped east to en-1 “

danger the reputation of Michigan cattle so Mr.
Powell has placed a quarantine against imported
cattle. Under this quarantine, which went into
effect July let, all cattle coming into the State,
except from clean herds undEr supervision, shall

be held in quarantine for 60- days and then re-

tested. ,

Commissioner Powell is proving to be a very
good watchdog for the farmers of Michigan, ever
alert to protect their interests.

SEE MICHIGAN FIRST
URING the early part of this month we made
a. ﬂying trip around Michigan which took us
into twenty—nine different counties. We call
it a ﬂying trip because we made the thousand
mile drive in ﬁve days. Of course, this is only an
average of 200 miles a day but we were combin-
ing business with pleasure and it did not leave
much time to stop and enjoy the scenery, let alone
trying our hand at. catching a few ﬁsh. But we
did see enough to make us plan another trip over
the territory when we can take our time, stop-
ping where we wish and when we wish to pitch
our tent and remain until we feel the urge to
move on. A person could make the trip in two
weeks but a month would be better.

On our trip, especially: up the west coast we
saw more cars with license plates from other
states than we did with Michigan licenses. Per—
haps some of our folks were visiting their states
while they were up here, because it seems that
the things farthest away always look the best.
Most of us are like the Irishman from the old
sod who came to this country. He had heard
about America being the land of wealth and
nmney almost grew on trees. When he got off
the boat he saw a half dollar lying on the side-
walk. Ho was just about to pick it up when he
straightened up and continued on his way down
the street with the remark, “No, 0i won't bother
with it. There’ll be bigger ones down the street
farther."

If you talk to the man who has toured consid—
erable you will learn that Michigan ranks with
the best of them when it comes to ﬁne scenery,
good roads, well stocked lakes and State parks
with good accomodations. We overlook Mich-
igan's beauties near at hand and search for them
in other lands. Let’s have a. “See Michigan
First" campaign for ouf" folks.

KILLING QUACK GRASS
IKE the corn borer, quack grass continues to
L spread even though farmers are ﬁghting it.
Also, like the corn borer, it seems as though
there has been no sure way of getting rid of this
weed. However, the Michigan State College has
been working steadily trying to ﬁnd a way to kill
it and it now seems they have found a very effec-
tive method. They recommend fall plowing in
October, shallow replowing in the spring, and
harrowing ﬁve to eight times before seedng to
alfalfa in August.

FALIE

OSE who deliberately start out in this world

to win fame and then commercialize on it

usually do not get very far. They may win
the fame but when they show intentions of turn-
ing it into dollars and cents the public removes
them from their high pedestal. How many can
remember the name of the ﬁrst woman to swim
the English channel, even though it was but a
short time ago that the papers were ﬁlled with
stories about her and her accomplishment?

THE HIRED HELP PEBBLE}!!!

the estimation of the Department of Labor
INthe solution of the farm labor problem will

come When we pay higher wages to the help
and make working conditions better for them.
Perhaps the Department is right, but how are we
going to bring these things about? In face of
the fact that the hired man on many farms draws
more wages accordingly than the farm owner
with his large investment and he lives equally
as good as the farmer and his family it appears
that there must be a. change all along the line.
Perhaps. if the farmer got as much in proportion
for his products as does the average manufactur—
er today he would be able to compete for labor.
But when will that time come? Your guess is
just as good as anyone else' a.

WATCH OUT FOR “OIL EXPERTS” \.

HE United States Department of
the Interior has issued a Warn-
ing to farmers to beware of the

so-called engineer ‘ and oil expert,
claiming, to be with the Government,
and offering his services to the
farmer at the reasonable charge of
$25.00, for which fee he promises to
test soil by a chemical .or photo-
graphic process, thus determining
Whether or not oil underlies the farm

which has put up the $25.00 fee.

Many successful wells have been
sunk in Michigan and within the past
few months almost every section of
the State has been visited by men
trying to secure oil and gas leasgs
up'on farm property. This has
caused farmers to become rather
anxious about the possibilities of
their retiring on a fortune made
from several oil wells on their prop-
erty, so, it is reported, these “ex-
perts” are ﬁnding Michigan rather
fertile soil for their operations.

01' course, the Government has no
such specialist and they advise that
they do not know of any method by
which the presence or absence of oil
a few hundred or a few thousand

‘ feet beneath the surface can be de—

termined by a test of the soil, chem-
ically, photographically or other—
wise, so watch out for the oily 011
“expert.” .

ONE DOLLAR INSURANCE POLICY

My subscription to a certain farm
paper has expired and I am conSId-
ering renewing. They offer a $1.00
accident insurance policy and I
would like to know what you think
of it.~——E. U., Eagle, Mich.

F you have insurance of other
I kinds I am sure that you will
have to stop andthink but a mo—
ment to realize that an insurance
policy which you purchase for $1.00
cannot be of very great value or give
you much protection. Several pub‘
lishers throughout the country are
selling these policies, issued by a

i number of concerns, along with sub—

scriptions to their publications and

1 all the policies that we have had an

opportunity to examine show them
to be extremely limited in character.
One party made the statement that
it would take a Philadelphia lawyer
to ﬁgure out what the pollcies do

”mean, and we are inclined to agree

with him.

At ﬁrst hand it appears to be a
very liberal insurance, causing one
to wonder how a company can con—
tinue to exist selling policies at such
a low rate. However, if time is tak—
en to go into the policy pretty thor—
oughly one ﬁnds that it is extremely
limited. We are informed that rec-
ords shaw that they pay out about
35% of the premiums received in
claims on such policies.

as his fee. The farmer paid this to
the “Doctor”‘who went away promis-
ing to return at a later date. In-
stead of returning, a man going by
the name of “Dr. J. W. Harper” ap-
peared on the scene in his place,
stating that “Dr. Addison” had been
killed in an automobile accident and
that he had taken over his practice.
He then treated the eyes of the
farmer’s wife and demanded $5,000
for his services. This, too, was paid.
After waiting a short time and see-
ing no beneﬁts from the treatment
the farmer went to the prosecuting
attorney of Eaton county who
promptly took action to ﬁnd the doc-
tors who_gave Buffalo, New York, as
their home town.

Why is it that people will continue
to trust these q'uack eye doctors, no
matter whether it be treatment
through the mails or direct, we are
unable to understand. Perhaps it is
because they fear that the expense
of the local doctor will be consider-
able more, but in most cases it is far
the cheapest in the long run. No
doubt, this farmer will be able to
have his Wife’s eyes treated success—
fully for considerable less money
by a specialist right in his home
town or at least in one of the larger
cities of Michigan.

LEAN RESULTS FROM FAT
REDUCERS

HERE are quite a few concerns
manufacturing preparations of
various kinds supposed to be
cures for obesity, but investigations
reveal that about the only thing that
gets lean is the victim’s pocketbook.

The list of preparations in exiSa
tence includes pastes, soaps, and
bath powders for external use and
tablets, pills, powders, and chewing
gum for internal use. Also there
are the so—called “reducing” breads.
Government chemists recently ana—
lyzed a preparation of the paste type,
supposed to contain among other
things bladderwrack, thyroid sub-
substance and tincture of iodine.
Not one of the three ingredients have
any effect on the weight when ap—
plied externally, but they are not
uncommon ingredients of advertised
anti—fat remedies. The analysis
made revealed that it was essential-
ly 5c worth of soft soap selling for
$1.50, it is stated.

The latest concern advertising an
anti-fat remedy to be put out of bus-
iness is the Floranzona Corporations
of New York City, which was selling
a bath salt through the mail which
was claimed to reduce weight. The
post office department stated govern—
ment chemists analzed their prepar—
ation known as “Floranzona” and
found it was a combination of Hypo
salt, used by photographers, mixed
with baking soda, iodides and per-
fume, a preparation costing about
17%c and retailing at $3.50: per
package.

Mr. M. Rosenberg, originator of
the preparation, Mr. Rubin and one
employee operated the business
which had a total gross receipts for
the calendar year 1925 of approxi—
mately $20,000. During that period
it cost them $7,000 to advertise their
product.

A form of the internal remedy is
the product of the Durex Company
of Chicago, known as “Normo,” and
is said to be of no value. This com-
pany puts out a tablet, and accord—
ing to the literature, by taking these
tablets, eating moderately, avoiding
butter, sugar, fat meats and pota—
toes, being regular in habits, taking
exercise every day, breathing, deeply,
etc., the fat will fairly roll off.

According to the American Medi-
cal Association, these. so-called fat
reducers are divided into two class-
es; those which Contain thyroid and
those that contain no thyroid. The
ﬁrst class is dangerous, unless given
under doctor’s directions and the
second class is useless in reducing
fat unless they contain something
which interferes with'the digestion

    

ful the F-d-igestive system.

  

 

 

SAVINGi: onlya THIRD of
FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE

‘

    

AVING money is only one-third of gaining ﬁnancial
independence. The ether two-thirds is investing.

Consider these ﬁgures:

$100 a month, stored away in “the old sock”-—or in a
safe deposit box—amounts to $36,000 in 360 months.

But $100 a month invested under the Federal Bond 8:
Mortgage Company’s estate-building plan, amounts to
$110,000 at the end of the same period.

By inverting wisely, you can build an estate three times
as large as the money you save.

And every cent, what’s more, is invested in 615% First
Mortgage bonds issued by this very conservative ﬁnan-
cial house.

Thought She Would
Die from Asthma

Nearly Choked to Death. Tells How
She Found Lasting Relief.

 

People who have coughed and choked
all night long from asthma or bronchitis
will be glad to learn how Mrs. Jennie
Seiger, 135 E. College Ave, York, Pa.,
ended her trouble She writes:

“I had asthma in severe form for two
years. I tried everything, but the more
treatment I took, the worse I got. Finally
I had it so bad I had to sit up in bed,
coughing and strangling until I thought I
would choke to death. I thought my time
had surely come. Reading about Nacor in
our newspaper, I decided to try it as a last
resort. I have taken three bottles and am
feeling like a spring chciken again. I have
had no asthma, no cough for two months
now, I am sleeping ﬁne, my stomach
aims are gone and I am eating heartily.

can walk three miles without a Sign
of trouble. The little money I spent for
Nacor gave me back my health.‘

Mrs Seigei is not the only one to write
this wa about Naco1. Hundreds of just
such su erers from asthma, bronchitis and
severe chronic'coughs have told how their
trouble disappeared and never returned.
Their letters and a booklet full of vital
information about these diseases will be
sent free by Nacor Medicine Co., 590 State
Life Bldg, Indianapolis, Ind. The more
serious your case, the more valuable this
free information may be to you. Write

TEE FARM HOME .
A DEPARTMENT Iron WOMEN - _ ,4
Edited by MRS. ANNIE TAYLOR

EAR FOLKS: The last home page brought to you a message about
the Michigan Farm Women's Institute which will be held in
Lansing July '27 to August 1 and I sincerely hope that many of

our farm women may be able to attend.

Since this is the time for vacations and each wife and mother owes
it to herself to plan a few days away from the daily routine of duty,
nothing could be more delightful or educational than to attend one
or more of the conferences held during Country Life week, at the.

There will be seventeen different conferences held between July
18 and August 6, all but one starting after July 25, and all have been
so planned as to reach their climax during this week.

The Grange, the Farm Bureau, the Farmers’ Clubs, the co-operative
associations, and other agricultural groups all will be represented.

Many prominent leaders and students of agriculture and rural life
will be included among the speakers, from both home and abroad.

This unusual opportunity of meeting with the leading farm men
and women of the country on the beautiful campus of the college,
frequently referred to as the most beautiful college campus in Amerim,

LIGHTEN COOK’S JOB AT
THRESHING TIME

EALS for threshers and harves-
ters, the bugbear of many a
farmer’s wife, can be made ap-

petizing and hearty enough for any
man Without exhausting the cook.
The woman who simply enlarges her
regular family meals, to satisfy hun-
gry men, without competing with her
neighbors in serving numerous elab-
orate dshes, can cut the burden of
threshing—time meals almost in half.

Men doing heavy work in the ﬁelds
need more food than men in an
office, and they can easily digest food
that “sticks to the ribs” because
they are more active. For this rea—
son fried foods, cake and pie can be
included in the meals more often
than at less—busy times. Men want
food that will ‘stay by them,” but
they need fruits, vegetables, milk,
and eggs as well as meat, potatoes
and pie.

One dessert is enoughpfor dinner
and supper and is much easier to
make than the two or three custom—
ary is some homes When only one
is served at a meal, the meals have
more variety from day to day It
is easier to make four or ﬁve pics of
one kind or two large cakes that are
alike, to provide second servings,
than to make two pies, axcake, and
a batch of cookies all for one meal.

Both dinner and supper should in—
clude one or two vegetables besides
potatoes. One of these may be a
raw, salad vegetable such as lettuce,
tomatoes, or cabbage. Potatoes for
breakfast may be cooked with those
for supper the night before, and
meat for two meals may be cooked
at once, served hot for dinner the
ﬁrst day and cold for supper the
second day.

I’ICNICS

S a general rule the best picnics
are those which are the least
trouble and particularly those
which are not arranged too long in
advance or are undertaken on the
spur of the moment. To have a pic—
nic of this sort the few necessary
things might well be kept during the
summer in a special place. .
The equipment should be light and
should not include anything which
is not absolutely necessary. More—
over, it should be compact so that it
can go into small space. One of the
zests of the picnic is a certain
amount of camp cookery but a little
of it is enough to satisfy the desire
for this sort of thing. ~ Coffee, bacon
and eggs, steaks or “hot dogs" con-
stitute about all that is needed for
any picnic, and one source of; meat
is enough for any single event. ' It

is usually better to have sandwiches’

made before starting on the picnic,
and beverages, such as lemonade or
punch should be condensed to be
mixed when at the picnic grounds.
For bacon and" eggs some recep-
tacle is needed for trying, but hot
dogs may be broiéed to the indlgglial
taste on the an s of sums it.
One of thehbeg'ﬂwa W , if,

nesses of wrapping paper and put it
in the embers of. the ﬁre for about
twenty minutes. Persons who have
not tried this method are skeptical
of results, but the steak is delicious
with all of its juices retained and
the paper next to the steak neither
burns nor sticks to it.

The picnic lunch should include
fresh fruits or vegetables such as
apples, oranges or berries, tomatoes,
lc:tuce, radishes and the like. Veg-
etables maybe furnished in salads.

EAR girls and boys: The Week
ending July 16th was the ninth
annual Boys’ and Girls’ Club

week at the Michigan State College
and 341 Four-H Club champions,
representing the girls and boys
of 39 counties in lower Michigan,
were there. Did they have a won-
derful ti g? I need not answer that
questionm‘lo‘r some of you because I
am sure many of the readers of Our
Page were among those to attend,
and to those who did not I will say
they certainly did. I would like to
see anyone convince just one of the
341 that there was not both pleasure
and proﬁt in Four-H Club work. It
couldn’t be done, I will say. In fact,
I am quite sure you could not ﬁnd
any girl or boy among the rest of
the 18,000« interested in Club work
in Michigan who was not enthuiastic
about it.

And the girls and boys are not the
only ones who are interested. Most
fathers and mothers on Michigan
farms are for it as are our educators
and statesmen. Just recently our
editor wrote to several of the leading
citizens of this State asking them
their opinion of Boys” and Girls'
Club work and I am sure you will be
very much interested in what they
had to say so am arranging to pub—
lish the letters in our department.
The ﬁrst one appears in this issue
and was written by Hon. Fred W.
Green, Governor of Michigan, who
states that he is greatly interested
in this work.

If you are not connected with a
Four-H Club at present get interest—
ed in one as soon as you can. Most
communities have one or more of the
Clubs but if there is none near you
just write me to and I will see what
can in: done for you.

Our “THE‘ CHILDREN’S HOUR”
word -:-ontest turned out to be a
great success but as I have Just re-
turned from my vacation I have not
had time to go over all of the letters
yet. By next issue the prize winners
will be known and maybe we W111
start a new contest—UNCLE NED.

 

 

Our Boys and Girls

 

Dear Uncle Nedi—I have written to
you before but I thought I would write
again. ll thought I would tell you about
the 4-H sewing and handicraft clubs
Achievement Day. It was a rainy day on
Saturday, May twenty—ﬁrst, but we had
our Achievement Day just the same.
Boys and girls of the 4—H Sewing and
Handicraft gathered there from all parts
of the county. The school bus came to
take us to Crystal Falls where we had
the Achievement Day. First, as we went
in we registered and get tickets for ice
cream and we got program sheets. Then
while the judging, demonstration and
health contests were going on we could
spend time as we pleased. Some went
to buy candy, gum, etc, while others
watched the work of the demonstration

and judging team. After these contests
everyone got ice cream. Before lunch
a band gave us some music. Again for
one hour we could eat our lunch and spend
the time as we wanted. After lunch hour
the same band played again. Then all
the people, the 4—H club members and
their leaders, the guests, etc., were told
to be seated while the roll call of the clubs
was taken and Winners announced. As
the roll call was taken each club respond—
ed by a yell, stunt or song. The style
show was the next feature of the day.
After that, the county club agent, county
agricultural agent and health judge spoke.
Then the winners of the sewing and handi-
craft clubs, the health contest and style
show. Ice cream was served, then every-
one went home.
I will also tell you the joke brought
up by the county agricultural agent. He
said, “I asked our club agent what to talk
about." Then he said that the county
club agents responded to this by saying,
“Oh, well, talk about an hour.” '
I wish some of the cousins would write
to me. Hoping Mr. Waste Basket is
sleeping. Your neice.—-—Elona Maki, Route
1, Box 148, Crystal Falls, Mich.
-——I am very glad to hear of your Achieve-
ment Day. Don’t you get a great deal
of pleasure as well as learning out of
your club work? Keep it up.

Dear Uncle Ned:——I planted a garden
all myself. I set a hen on some eggs
and she hatched eight little chickens. I
live with my grandfather ever since my
mother deid. I have a stepmother and
she is very nice to me. I was two Weeks
old when my mother died. I hope Mr.
Waste Basket is fast asleep so he cannot
gobble this letter up. Uncle Ned, I am
trying to raise some celery. If it comes
out good I will send you a great big
bunch of it. My grandfather is 75 years
old. I help him do his work. It has been
a while since I wrote. This is all for this
time, so good-bye, from your friend—El-
ton Hickmoth, Route 3, Box 107, Bir-
mingham, Mich.

——I like nice crisp celery, Elton, so do
not forget your promise. I am sure you
will have success with yours.

 

 

A Game to Play

 

 

- N-OSE-AND-TOE TAG
AY be played with large or
small number of persons in
mixed groups of all ages. As
in most tag games, one person is “it”
and all the rest, at the signal, are
chased. In order not to be caught
and become “it,” one must assume
a position standing on either foot,
with one hand holding the nose and
the other hand holding one foot off
the ﬂoor or ground. If tagged, you
become “it” and try/ to catch an-
other. (The leader can see that all
get into the game by being purposely
caught and tagging someone who is
on the fringe of the group.) Re-
member the rules: Don’t push when
tagging, but whirling by the elbow is
permissible. Don’t chase the one
who tagged you until you have
chased someone else. When tagged,
hold up your hand, turn around
once, and shout, “I’m It!”

LETTER, and a very interesting
one too, comes to me from a
Mrs. K. She says she purchased
clover seed, and the result was a
ﬁeld covered with white daisies.
' - These have got a
bad start on her
farm, and what
can she do? Well
there is only one
thing to do, and
that is, not let
any of them go-
to seed. Daisies
mature seed
very quickly aft-
er blossoming
and should be
cut when blos-
soms ﬁrst ap-
L.w.MEERS pear. 'This seed
was probably in
alsike. The seed of daisies would
not be carried in June clover, but it
is so small alsike would carry it ﬁne.
And right here I want to say it is
against the law to sell seed contain—
ing weeds like this. But that law is
erroneous. As sure as the seed is
hulled it will be sold. The law
should ﬁne with a. heavy ﬁne any
thresher who hulls or threshes seed
with weeds in it. That’s getting at
the root of the trouble. A thresher
should have to have a license to
thresh, and anyone threshing such
should forfeit his license.
t II! 1

Gone

 

Mention has been made in these
columns of the decrease of black-
smiths in our town. From three or
four shops the number has dropped
year by year until only one re-
mained. A short time ago this one
announced that he had ordered some
garage equipment and two gas serv—
ice trucks, and that as soon as these
arrived he would change his business
from a blacksmith shop to a garage.
And now, where for three quarters of
a century a few hitching posts have
been standing, a, mute invitation to
stop old Dobbin and let him rest,
there now stands two bright colored
gas stations. And inside the build—
ing (which has been a blacksmith
and wagon repair shop as far back
as our oldest inhabitants can re-
member) one ﬁnds a pile of auto
tires where kegs of horse shoes once
stood. The shoeing ﬂoor has become
the mechanic’s trouble inspection
ﬂoor, yet sure enough, over in the
old corner still remains the old
forge, a. substantial brick affair,
which has been there for no one
knows how long. Well, that’s good
news—the kindly proprietor says he
will continue to do some repair work,
such . as repairing chains, mower
knife bars, etc. I guess we had bet-
ter take the broken mower knives in
at once and get them welded before
the forge is removed!

Guess I must be an old timer, )for,
try as I may, I cannot come to be-
lieve our old standby friends, the
horses, are a thing of the past, or
at least soon will be. We are enjoy-
ing the companionship of a little
colt. He is about one' month old
now. We call him Jean. I love to
talk to him and stroke his silky coat.
He will become a work horse in due
course of time. He will be asked to
pull a plow where tractors won’t
work; he. may possibly be requested
to pull a. buggy to town and back for
some needed groceries and kerosene
when the roads are so drifted with
snow, or the mud so deep that gas
driven vehicles won’t .make the trip.

'But Jean, you will probably never
get the attention your older broth-
ers have enjoyed.
s 't a b 1 e blanketed, washed, and
brushed and combed, and kept in the
best of condition, that ’they might
make a good appearance on the car-
riago when theowner wished to go
to church or for a drive? Werethey
not shod regularly, and, did '1; ,

' .‘ , nag-t . .

Were not they‘

probably get a burlap sack hung
across your back to keep ﬂies away
while you are pulling the cultivator
back and forth in the potato ﬁeld.
It’s all right Jean, you will miss a
lot of pleasant things your brothers
have enjoyed in days gone by, but
you and your brothers of today and
tomorrow will enjoy a. lot of things
they did not. You won’t have to
work all day and then be driven on
the road in the evening. You won’t
have to go anywhere on Sundays,
and even at fair time you won’t
have to be hurried from ﬁve to thirty
miles to some fair ground to get
there before» the crowd does.

No, Jean, the world of today is
different than the world of yester-
day. All in all, it will be a. better
world for you horses. The cities
used to be full of half starved horses,
drawmg express wagons, carryalls,
etc. Why even the street cars were
once drawn by horses. The streets
were mostly paved with cobble
stones and the constant trot the
horses had to maintain soon pro-
duced lameneSS in their shoulders
and fore feet. Thousands of horses
were sacriﬁced to the city every year.
When they became so lame they
couldn’t keep up, and still were serv—
iceable for slow moving like a farm
horse is supposed to be, carloads of
them were shipped out to farming
dlstricts to be sold for what they
would bring. These dear old broken
down equines probably thought they
had gone to heaven when some farm-—
or led them down his lane and
turned them loose in a. pasture ﬁeld.
But, Jean, while the. future for
horses will be a. better one than the
past has been, I am of the opinion
your gain is our loss—for let states-
men ﬁgure as they will, the fact -re-
menus that your passing has been the
prime factor is causing a surplus of
crops to become a menace to the
farmers.

There is no mistake, the automo-
bile is a wonderful blessing in many
ways and as big a. curse in as many
others. The making of the millions
of automobiles and trucks has been
the source of the great prosperity
the industrial world has enjoyed. It
has called for something of every

.description in the raw material line,

but Jean, it has not called for nor
used one single thing the farmers
produce, and only called fer one
thing the farmer had, and that is
their help. The industrial world has
got about all of that the farmer bad.
And Jean, just one more word before
I have to leave you and go help the
boys set up wheat—there is no cure
for the farmers so—called depression
T—politics and political bowlers make
1t much worse than it really is.
These men have many panaceas but
none of them are of any use. The
farmers don’t want to be pampered.
they are asking no special favors.
They will not be beneﬁted by any
McNary-Haugen bills. Farmers get
hold of enough money as it is, the
trouble is on the other side. We have
to pay too much fer what we buy.
Too many proﬁts are added to our
produce before the consumer gets it
and far too many proﬁts are added in
making up the price of the things
we have to buy. There is a great in-
dustrial circle of high prices and
enormous proﬁts—a. circle a farmer
cannot enter. But, Jean, when you
are ten years old I’ll tell you a. dif-
ferent story. ‘

TEXT: “For hereunto were ye called:
because Christ also suffered for you. leav-
ing you an example, that ye should fol-
low in his steps.” I Peter 2:21.

E is a very sick man and lives
near by. The other day he re-
quested me to read the chapter
:on “In my Father’s house are many
mansions," .and utter an interces—
sory prayer. This man was called

to terrible suffering, and how well‘

for his soul that he is staking all on
the suffering for him of the incom—
parable Christ. Always, the child
of faith would associate itself with
the sympathy of a self-immolating
God. Patient suffering is one of the
beatiﬁc accompaniments of Christi-
anity.

‘For thereunto were ye called.”
The words of our text were ad-
dressed directly to the slaves of the
apostle's day. These were so nu—
merous that it is no surprise to ﬁnd
them among the household of faith.
These servants were asked to sub-
mit patiently to suffering and perse—
cution and thereby make their lives
a daily sermon in the house of their
master. They were told that they
were called for this. What a strange
invitation from a loving God! -But
who can get away from that
mystery-shrouded call of the Christ,
“If any man would come after Me,
let him deny himself and take up his
cross and follow Me?" Here is
sacriﬁce and suffering and Jesus has
made it basic in joyful and glorious
living. This is to be the regulative
principle of our religion. When
those slaves were able daily to go
about their hard duties and feel that
they ‘ Were being oppressed for
Christ’s sake, they had connected
their lives up With Saving Grace.
This Christian concept of life is to
’be learned from the most beautiful
and loving thing in the world—the
Cross of Christ. Stephen learned
this and gladly submitted to tribula—
tion and death, that around him
might be broadcast the seeds of a
wide evangelism. Paul hearkened to
the call of the Cross, and ﬁlled up in
his own body the sufferings of Christ
that were left for him. But all of
us are called to become suffering de-
fenders of the faith. The names
Protestant, Puritan, Hugenot, Pil-
grim, and Quaker, put ﬂesh on the
beatitude of suffering.

Meaningful suffering d e p e nd s
upon motive. Peter explains, “For
this is acceptable, if for conscience
toward God a man endureth griefs,
suffering wrongfully.” This would
seem to indicate that to suffer be—
cause one has to, is not like suffer-
ing for conscience’ sake. But to
suﬁer wrongfully for conscience
toward God turns out to be well—
doing. Yet much of the world has
no praise for this Christian grace.
But wait a minute! How about the
doctor who consciously and con—
scientiously inﬂicted upon himself
the fatal eﬁects of a killing germ
that he might become the savior of
others? Thousands in Panama and
other similar climes now live. because
of his self-intentional sacriﬁce. Her
furlough is about ended and she
said she was glad, for she wanted to
return to the head-hunters of wild
northeast India. She is a graduate
nurse and for years has been, the
only medical aid for the jungle mul—
titudes. These cases illustrate a liv—
ing martyrdom for oonscience’ sake,

, and God seals it with His approval.

“Inasmuch as ye are partakers of
Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at
the revelation of His glory also ye
mly rejoice with exceeding Soy.”
“Christ is also‘suffered for you,
leaving you an cramp .” Gracious
pattern! But, forsooth, where is
our patterning? Where are our
3 m our turning: and
,Wher-e are our Gala—

’ credentials to heaven.

The speciﬁc point of our text is that
in tenderness, submission and suffer—
ing, Jesus Christ becomes a copy for
us. And the speciﬁc call is that we
are to make our lives like the copy.
Christianity has for the direction of
life more than “line upon line and
precept upon precept.” It has an
Example which more easily and
plainly interprets the will of God.
The school teacher commends the
child in any honest attempt to write
like the copy. He does not expect
perfect accomplishment but wants a
painstaking effort made.‘ He knows
that improvement will come with the
doing. If we carefully study our
Example and are diligent in trying
to follow Him, our imperfections
become perfections through His
grace and power. The apostle Paul
calls this “perfecting holiness in the
fear of God."

“That ye should follow in His
steps.” When Peter wrote these
words he doubtless was thinking of
his own restoration. Peter was
called from his nets us follow Christ.
One day he confessed his teacher as
“the Christ, the son of the living
God.” But in this confession there
was no Cross. When afterward he
was shown this Cross of suffering
and death, he reproved his Lord for
it. But the Cross came, and with it
gloom and disappointment for the
disciples. Peter said it was no use
and went back to his old calling.
Jesus found him by the lake ﬁshing
and again said to him, “Follow Me.”
Peter Was called to drink the cup of
suffering and thus follow in the steps
of his Master. He has much in his
letter about suffering. The Cross
which he once rejected, is now ac-
cepted and understood as the only
p o s s i b 1 e means of redemption.
Christ’s crown of thorns became to
Peter a crown of glory.

But such it is to all. And we are
not called to bear it without power
given to bear it. “By His stripes are
we healed" was foretold by the
prophet but made real in the self-
fulﬁllmenf of Jesus. This is a deep
mystery, yet the Spirit declares that
Christ was made perfect through
suffering, and that if we do not have
His spirit, we are none of His. To
have His spirit is to have power in
Him. “Ye shall receive power when
the Holy Spirit is come upon you.”
Jesus patient life receives high
praise from every child of God, but
to try to copy it without motive
and power from on high, is to fool-
ishly fail. To become like Jesus,
His image must be photographed on
the soul. This is to share with him
in learning character through suﬁer-
ing. Through the Cross and beyond
it is our .transﬁguration and glory.

Therefore, suffering becomes a
Christian principle. It gives us our
Christian ex—
perience proves this. Many enlight-
ened and puriﬁed souls have been
able to rejoice in pain and sorrow be-
cause through them they saw God’s
designs more clearly. It remains
for all of us to look trouble in the
face and win the victory of faith in
patience. The beatitude of suﬁering
yet holds in the twentieth century,
and our strength and heritage come
through patient endurance. “For
hereunto were ye called.”

Wheat is harvested some place in the

amounts the birds will clean up
readily) will keep your birds pro-
ducing, and may even bring back the
ones that have started to molt.

This is the season when quality in
poultry feed matters most. The birds
are naturally “off-feed" and the
slightest tinge of mustiness in corn,
or odor in meat scrap should be care-
fully avoided.

Amco's year-round standards of
quality are, therefore, especially de-
sirable in these last summer months.
AMCO EGG MASH is cool and sweet
and wholesome. Study the formula
a minute and see the range of in-
gredients it contains. You will note
it has 600 lbs. of corn meal. This corn
meal does not heat or become musty
even in the hottest weather, because
it is Federal Grade No. 2 and never

 

‘Acontains more than 15.5% moisture.

Lower grades may have as much as
23% moisture; that is the one reas0n
why low grade CC' n is so dangerous at
this time of year.

Note also the oats. This formula
was recommended by three college

specialists,

as “heavy, ﬁne-ground, clipped, low-

ﬁber oats." They were particular in ‘

this deﬁnition because a good heavy
oat is a good poultry feed, but a
strawy, fibrous oat is worthless. A hen
simply cannot make use of ﬁbre, and
it‘s sheer waste to try to make her.

Take note of the meat scrap, too. It
is freshly made the very day and in
the same plant where the animals are

butchered. There is none of that ob?-

jectionable odor often noticed. You
ﬁnd no hair in it. It is uniformly and
ﬁnely ground.

“More Milk with More Cow
Lett at the End of the—Year”

4, T
' forth in the claims made by hundreds of Mich-
’ igan’s leading dairymen who have used Milk—
maker continuously for one or more years.
‘ These dairymen tell us that they have secured
the following results by the use of Milkmaker,
V12:
1. Cows have kept up in better ﬂesh and

beater ghysical condition.

Milkmaker, a Public Formula Ration.
Build: for the Future

HE im ortant part that Milkmaker plays

in Mic igan dairying is probably best set

even ﬂow of milk.
b'3h Calves better developed and stronger at
irt .

I
4. Freedom from trouble with cows at

calving time; no retained afterbirth and no udder trouble.
. The strongest advocates of- course are those dairymen who have used Milkmaker con-
tmuously Since it came on the market in 1922.

Buying a Better Herd

These men have realized that in buying and using Milkmaker they are assuring themselves
of a better herd of cows two or three years hence. -

In buying a bag of dairy feed you do not buy the feed for the feed itself, but for the
ultimate results obtained. The results to be obtained are not necessarily determined by
the price of the feed. The real value of the feed is determined by the per cent of digestible
protein and digestible nutrients, both of which determine results.

A common phrase among users of Milkmaker is “More milk with more cow

. left at the end of the year.”

Mr. Lamb Feeder:

Opportunity will present itself, the last of June
and in Jilly, when you Will be. able to buy chaice
quality 55 to GU-lll..1dﬂl10 feeding lambs at around
($13.00) cwt. _TlllS Will be as cheap as they Will
sell at any time in the season, and we predict that
feeders will sell at from ($14.00) to ($15 00)
cwt. in August, September, and October, because
of great losses in the feeder lamb producing states
of Wyoming, Oregon, and Montana. Most of these
feeder lambs were under contracts to Colorado,
and Nebraska feeders, and we are adVised that
these losses in these states were 40%, which
means that these Colorado, and Nebraska. feeders
will be short 40% on their contracts ain‘time of
delivery, and they Will then have'to go into the
open market in order to ﬁll their requirements,
which Will help force the market on feeders up-
wards in October. The lambs out. of Idaho, and
\Vashington will be 85% fat, which means that
there Will be few feeders through the summer
months, and that they will sell from ($14.00) to
($15.00) cwt. all summer and falL The reason
these Idaho lambs are selhng so reasonable is be—
cause it is early, and there is no demand for them.
Take, advantage of this opportunity, and buy now,
running them on grass through the summer, grow-
ing them, fllld have them fat for the December
market which will. be high. . Send your orders to
us, and we Will ship you strictly graded, and um—
formed, feeding lambs. well sorted, Just as cheap
as they can possxbly be had on the market.

We Will guarantee every load to be Just as rep—
resented. and ordered by you, and you have the
priVilege of looking at the lambs before you my
your draft at the bank. \Ve Will have about 3 ()0
of these Idaho feeder lambs each week to offer for
solo, starting May 23rd. Wire your orders, sat-
isfaction guaranteed.

GUARDING COWS FROM FLY
ATTACKS
LTHOUGH the effect of ﬂies on
dairy cattle is commonly over-
estimated, dairymen are ﬁnding
that there are times when the pests
are sufficiently numerous to warrant
the use of repellants, states E. J.
Perry. New Jersey extensionldairy
specialist.

Where ﬂies and mosquitoes are
numerous, spraying with some good
ﬂy mixture makes the cows more
comfortable and helps somewhat to
prevent a drop in milk production.
Many good repellants are on the
market, but some are, better than
others, says Mr. Perry.

The experience of dairymen has
been that to secure satisfactory re-
sults spraying must be done twice
daily. They spray after milking in
the morning and again one hour be-
fore the night milking. All pails
and cans are left outside the barn
while the spraying is going on and
kept out as long as possible. In
this way, tainting of the milk is
avoided. The milk is strained in-
side the barn. Commercial mixtures
are coming more and more into use,
but for those who wish to make their
own ﬂy repellents the following are
suggested by the dairy specialist:

No. 1. Powdered resin, 4 pounds;
laundry soap, 4 pounds; ﬁsh oil, 2
quarts; oil of tar, 2 quarts; kero—
sene, 3 quarts. Boil the powdered
resin, laundry soap, and ﬁsh oil in» 1
gallon of water. After boiling for a
few minutes add 2 gallons of water
and the kerosene and oil of tar. Boil
this mixture for 15 minutes. Shake
well and apply as needed.

No. 2. Kerosene, 2 gallons; pine
tar, 1 quart; crude carbolic acid, 8
ounces; ﬁsh oil, 2 quarts; linseed
oil, 2 gallons. Mix thoroughly and
apply as usual.

T. B. TESTING

“Am writing in regard to the law
governing T. B.‘ of cattle. If we have
our cattle tested and some Were
found infected, would we lose the
entire value of the animals so in-
fected? Can you tell me what the
charges would be to have a herd of
ten tested? Does the state pay any
part or is the individual. wholly re—
sponsible? Are there any symptoms
showu outwardly? We have two
cows that lost their calves when
their time was more than half over.
C. W. C., Pickford, Mich.

F your cattle are tested by an ap-
proved veterinarian and reactors
are located, the state indemnity

will be paid for such animals, pro-
vided the test is covered by a proper
permit and the requirements of the
law relating to sanitation and dis-
position are met.

We cannot advise you deﬁnitely as
to the cost of testing your cattle.
That is a matter that you will have
to discuss with the veterinarian se—
lected for the work.

Located as you are in Chippewa
county, It would be necessary for
you to bear the entire expense of the
test. Your county is one of the eight
counties In Michigan which have not
yet provided for area..tuberculosis
work. Under this plan the cost of
the testing is spread over the entire
county.

Cattle may be badly infected with
tuberculosis and give no outward in—
dication of the presence of the dis-
ease. This disease can only be ac—
curately diagnosed through the ap-
plication of the tuberculin test. It
is more probable that your cows lost
their calves through the presence of
the abortion diSease. Tuberculosis
is not marked by symptoms of this
kind—B. J. Killham, State Veter-
inarian. ' _

SILAGE MOULDS

threw off the spoiled it was good for

menced to be, about, two inches of
blue mould on top. I,wou1d~.-thro'w

; Merrill, Mich. ‘

OSSIBLY a. combination of fac-
tors was responsible for the
moulding of your silage. Very
green silage will mold more extens-

‘ively than silage which is more ma-
ture or in ideal condition to put in
the silo. Also, it appears from your
letter that you were not feeding the
Silage off fast enough. If the sides
of the silo are air-tight then it is
almost necessary that the top be air-

forming a few inches of mold over.
the top. If that seal is broken or.

removed and the fresh silage exposed
to the air for a length of time, fer-
mentation takes place and a new
seal of moldy material is formed.
This condition usually maintains each
time .the top layer is removed and
the Silage is not used’ fast enough to
keep ahead of the mold.———J. R. Dun-4

FAILS TO GET \VITH CALF

We have a Jersey heifer that
freshened last fall and have been
trying to breed her but have not
been successful as yet. Have had
her examined and nothing has been
found wrong. Have been feeding al—
falfa hay, ground oats, and corn, and
oilmeal. She is in ﬁne condition.
Heat period comes every 19 days.—
Mr. J. C. B., Stryker, Ohio.

GIVE this cow 5 to 6 tablespoons-
ful of bonemeal each day on her

feed; also a tablespoonful of
fowlers’ solution of arsenic night
and morning for 30 days on some
ground feed. This cow may breed
after she has been on grass for about
6 weeks. If she does not would ad-
vise you to dry her up as soon as
you can and then let her have bone-
meal to run to in a box all the time
she is on pasture.

 

‘ABORTION

When a herd of cows is infected
with abortion at the rate of a cow
per month for ﬁve months can the
plague be fought and controlled by
selling off a few of them but still
keeping some of the worse kind and.
also at the same time buying a new
sire and breeding same with him?
Some farmers around here claim to
be well posted regarding such mat-
ters but I do not agree with them.—
J. J. H., Iosco County, Mich.

AVE never heard of anyone con-
trolling the disease in the man-
ner you suggested; the cus-

tomary method is to quarantine the
bad ones and then clean up and
keep as clean as possible around the
barns and yards. The bull has
nothing to do with the spread of the
disease; best results will come from
feeding a well balanced ration rich
in minerals and plenty of alfalfa and
clover hay; feed not more than 17 per
cent protein and give the cows about
a third of a pound of steamed bone
meal on their grain each day. Some-
times and in fact more herds abort
from not having "the right kinds of
feed than from the other cause and
when this is remedied the herd .‘of
course breeds and many people think
they have cured a herd of contagious
abortion while all they have done is
to build up their bodies by good
feeding. '

HE farmers in pretty busy these
days with getting the corn laid.
by and harvesting the crops, and

if he has any time not occupied by
these things there is plenty of repair-
ing to be done to buildings and
With cost of building ma»
terials higher than ever before it
pays well to keep up the old build-~
ings. Some new building is going on
here and there by farmers who have
got in on the good prices of live—
stock the past year or two and who
came through the boom times with-
out a lot of bad debts and a load
of interest. These farmers are in as
good shape as they ever were and
are putting their farms in tip top
shape to be able to operate in the
most economical manner, which is
the only way out in the farming bus-
iness these days. Fencing is one of
the main concerns at this moment as
all signs point to the necessity of be-
ing able to handle livestock on quite
an extensive scale if the crops this
year are to be utilized to the highest
degree. The poor prospect for ma-
turing corn on a large majority of
the farms before frost presages a
large supply of fodder and silage
where men have, silos. and there is

I already more hay in mow and stack

than for several years. The late cut-
tings of alfalfa and clover will fur-
ther augment this and with the cer—

: tain outlook for cheap hay and high
. priced livestock farmers are calculat-

ing on turning all the hay as well as
other rough feed into some form of
meat. The active inquiry for stocker
cattle of both sex in recent days is
a tangible proof of this if there were
no other. While there is a wide
range in weight and price on the

stockers going out to the country the “

bulk is for light weights running
from 450 to 660 and costing from
$6.25 to $7.25. The heifers going
out are averaging in these weights
or possibly a little higher and cost-
ing about the same or a little more.

' Some of these will be used to start

breeding herds or augment herds al-
ready owned as there is a feeling
that the cattle population of the mid—
West can stand more breeding cows.
It is quite a prevalent idea that the
cattle supply is steadily shrinking
and with cornbelt land down on the
low basis it is today a beef calf can
be raised with profit at the present
prices paid for fat beef. It is a com-
mon observation that there are more
herds of cows with lusty calves at
foot throughout the cornbelt this
summer than has been seen in many
a year. These herds are composed
of cows and heifers shipped in from
the range, having previously been
bred, and with their natural thrifti—
nose they have made a ﬁne showing
under the more mvorable conditions
in the combelt. Some of these
calves will be put in the lot as soon
as they are weaned and fattened out
as baby beef as they have the breed-
ing to make such finished cattle
proﬁtably, being .whitefaces mostly
and from herds which have been
grading up with pure bred bulls for
a lifetime. Some of these calves also
will be sold as feeders to protes-
eioual ﬁnishers and some have been
known to be sold as fancy vealers.
which is one way of cabin; in quick-
ly and on a very proﬁtable scale,
such calves returning a gross price
of wound $20 at two or three
months of ago. The cows are then
bred again or grazed and grained
and sold. bringing right at the top
price whch has been from $7.75 to
$8.50 of late and up to $9.00 on ia~
voreble markets. It is too early for
the country to be interested in food»
or settle and business in this line has
been light. Feeders want to know
deﬁnitely what the corn crop will be
and they are also deterred from buy-
ing by the itch pricos. Feeder ect-
tlool‘ood color-ad qualityendei

$1.75 tn $3.80 and some also have
been made at M m u ".85. M

What: the future six to 12 months
holds in store for the cattle feeder
is a timely question and there is
much conﬁdence among feeders in
the prospect of high prices for ﬂu-
ished beef and all kinds of cattle
continuing, although most everyone
concedes ‘that beef cattle are on a
high level and many that it is on a
slippery one. This has just been ,
demonstrated at Chicago where the
combination of rather heavy receipts
for two weeks and a warm spell of
weather have worked together to
knock off from 25c to $1.50 per cwt.
on cattle. The advent of the $14.00
steers and higher may be hailed with
satisfaction by cattle raisers and
feeders but it has its drawbacks. It
is making beef so high that consum—
ers back up easily when they pay too
much attention to their food budget. .
as city families have a habit forced

than usual. Corn is starting to tass

sel out in the best‘ﬁeldis- but the crop
will be found in all stages down to
little weakly stuff which has no
chance of making hardly good fod—
der. Not in years has the crop been
so uneven. Oats and barley harvest
is on and these crops are also un-
even.., Combine harvester-threshers
are being used on many cornbelt
farms for the ﬁrst time and their
outcome is being watched with great
interest. _
Hogs Active

The hog market has made. a quick
come—back and passed the $10.00
mark with $12.00 the destination ac-
cording to the market experts al—
though there is little substantial
grounds for that belief stocks of
cured meats still being burdensome
and consumption still down. Pack—
ers are worried, however, by the
general unloading of light pigs and
sows and are believed to be forcing
up prices to steady production.

Sheep are on a healthy basis
though much lower than a month or

vals. Illustrative of the present high
level of cattle are recent sales of
butcher cows and heifers and light,
warmed up steers at $6.00 to $9.00
and better which is from $2 to $3.00
a cwt. lighter than a year ago. One
thing that is helping out the cattle
market is the prices which hides are
commanding, the better grades of
packer steer hides selling at 20 to
23 cents against 15 to 17 a year ago.
These prices are explained by lighter
supply available and the lack of any
surplus, the packers having followed
a policy of quick turn—over the last
few years, and users of leather, par-
ticularly shoe manufacturers antic-
ipating a proﬁtable season.

Wheat Coming to Market

The new wheat crop is coming
into the markets but at a moderate
volume due to a belief of growers
that holding will pay well. This
view is not shared entirely in the
trade which points to very favorable
reports from Canada and the north-
west and from the cornbelt. weather

who face the prospect of being able
to buy on a less dangerous level. A
feature is the demand for ewes, sales
being made on a large scale of 100
pound animals at $13 to $14 per cwt.
The country is going in for sheep

The horse market is more active

The price of CHP beans moved up
to the highest price on the entire

light reds at $6.50.

higher and vegetables lower than last
season.
Wheat ,

A wheat crop about 22,000,000 bushels
larger than was harvested last year is in
prospect. The winter wheat crop is con-
siderably smaller this year but the spring
wheat crop will be materially larger from
present indications. A production of soft,
winter wheat about equal to domestic re-
quirements is anticipated. Some infection
from stem rust has occurred in the spring
wheat but present conditions give no cause
for alarm. according to the Department's
specialist in charge of rust studies. Re-

Frults are mostly .

ceipts of new winter wheat have been in— ’

creasing. New soft winter wheat is ap-
pearing on the market. Improved pros-
pects for spring wheat production caused
some weakness of prices, with competition
from the new winter wheat.
Corn and Outs
Corn crop prospects. the lightest for
‘many years, may be modiﬁed by recent
improvement. Receipts of old corn are
light and prices have held for some time
around $1 per bushel in large western
markets. A large oat crop of fair quality
is indicated. Prices have tended to decline
in spells of weakness of the general grain
market. Barley markets have Bagged
under prospects of increased production.
Bay
The great production of. hay weakens
the market situation but so far receipts
have been rather light and the market
quiet with slight downward trend.
Feeds
The ﬁrm price of corn has tended to
control the market for mill feeds, causing
a well sustained condition since the middle
of July, but demand has been very moder-
ate because of a good pasturage season.
\Vheat shorts and middlings have been in
good demand. New crop cottonseed meal
tended a little lower. Stocks of cottonseed
meal are lighter than last year but heavy
compared with average season. The vari-
ous corn feeds hold a firm position with
with corn market.
‘ Butter
Butter markets have held a fairly
steady, tone during July despite some days
of decline. Supplies have been heavy. but
much of the stock arriving has gone into
storage. Production has kept up well but.
has now become slightly less than at this
time a year ago. Little change has been
reported in the cheese'situntion. Produc—
tion continues heavy and some improve-
ment in demand is noted.
‘ Eggs
Eggs at least maintain recent gains in
price and demand is moderatively active.
Storage activity is falling off with the de—
crease of new receipts with the progress
of the season. Poultry supplies increased
as young stock matures; and the price ten—
dency has been downward for some time.
Demand shows the usual slacknees during
the season of hot weather.
Fruits and Vegetables
With the shipping season for fruits and

vegetables about half completed the total '

is above 600,000 cars compared with about
500,000 last season. The difference is ow-
ing mainly to an earlier start but pro-
dudion of outaloupes and of some vege-
tables is greater this season.

The watermelon crop in a dozen late
states is the lightest since 1923 and nearly
one-third under that of last season. Pio-
duetion, both early and late, is much
lighter this season and the general range
of prices higher.

to market late in July. The whole crop

was larger than last season- by about one»

to late cold spring, cut worms and now
continued draught. I have not seen ten
acres of good peppermint in whole district.
There are ﬁve peppermint distilleries in
this district and I understand there will
be only crop enough to keep one still run-
ning part time during mint harvest. A
shortage in crop will make no difference in
price of product as we sell our mint oil
for just what the peppermint oil buyers
association sees ﬁt to give us.——B. R.

sociation will be held at East
Lansing, August 12, at 10 A. M.
This is a new movement and iho of-
ﬁcers of the association would like to
have all poultry breeders interested
in trapnesting attend this meeting.
Trapnesting promises to be a big is—
sue in the poultxy industry in the fu—
ture and now is the time to get in on
the ground ﬂoor.

Competition is getting keener each
year and quality is getting to be the
key note in baby chick selling, there—
fore eggs from trapnested ﬂocks will
be held at a premium. So poultry
breeders, let‘s all attend the meeting
at East Lansing.

Another meeting at East Lansing
on the same day is that of the Mich—
igan Poultry Improvement Associa—
tion. This is the annual meeting and
is to be a one day session only, al—

stitution. Everyone should turn out
to this meeting—L.

The most part of Tuesday is ex— ‘

pected to be generally fair but dur—

crease and for the next day or so
there will be thunder storms and
generous rains. During this same
period temperatures are expected to
be more or less high.

The week will end in cooler woatlr

normal to readings about ten dc—

The cool weather of last week is

The sky during most of Sunday and
Monday and perhaps Tuesday will re—
main generally clear.

Temperatures during the middle
days of this week will be much high—

thunder storms as well as some
rather strong wind storms and local-
ly heavy showers. .

Again as the end of the week ap-

this time of year. The average tem—

July 15, 1927

 

:More and more farmers in Michigan are driving longer distances to cities and towns

; where their cars are the easy prey of smart automobile and truck thieves.

EVERY CAR LEFT STANDING SHOULD BE LOCKED

but even the best locks will not always provide security from these clever crooks—that
is when you need Citlzens theft insurance!

Neither is your car safe from fire in your own or any public garage. Gasoline causes
most fires and 1t 15 not pleasant to see the charred skeleton of your automobile or truck,
knowmg that you have no insurance to prov1de for its rehabllltation or replacement.

Then there is the liability of driving an automobile or truck without the insurance nec-
essary to defend you in an expensive court case or provide for damages which might
easily run as high as $5000 and take away from you in a few minutes what it has taken
you years of scrimping to save for old age. We repeat what we have said so many times:

No farmer in Michigan can afford to drive an automobile or
truck without fire, theft and liability insurance

and you will be surprised how cheaply this great company can sell you this protection.

Take a warning from Frank Bird at Clarkston—Twe could repeat a hundred, yes, a thou-
sand more cases JUSt like his—don’t wait until your car IS stolen to get insurance—

DO IT TODAY!

No matter where you live in Michigan there is a Citizens
agent near you and everyone of these men is at your service
when trouble comes. Get in touch with your local repre-
sentative or if you do not know where to reach him, write to

W. E. ROBB, Secretary,

Citizens’ Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. ‘
of Howell, Michigan
