_ a Michigan State Fair use :
may be regarded. asuccess com- f

pared with previous, fairs. . Some”
new and progressive features were
added, and the premium list wae'im-

‘ proved in several classes. The at-

tendance was nearly 100,000 greater
than in 1326, due probably to a. great
extent to the reduced admission.
The gate receipts however, owing to
the reduction was nearly "$20,000
less. Whether this was recovered in
some other way I do not know but in
any event an increase‘of 1000.000
visitors is worth some ﬁnancial loss.
It is claimed that more people came
from up state, which is probably
true. An attendance of 256,000 as
reported is not what it should be,
with 2,000,000 people within easy
reach of the fair.

Compared with the Canadian Na-
tional- st Toronto which reports an
attendance of over one million- it
does not seem extravagant to say
that Michigan should have 500,000.

The many successful county fairs
held in the state no doubt satisfy the
fair going public in the rural dis—
tricts, but it should be remembered
that the State Fair brings together
the very cream of production espe-
cially in livestock. A model arrange-
ment would be that the county fairs
be held previous to the State Fair

and the winners brought together in

grand competition at the State Fair.
More City Attendance

I would emphasize the idea of in-
ducing more city people to attend
the fair. They should know more
of the state’s agricultural resources.

. It was encouraging to see the Gov-
ernor showing a personal interestdiy
attendance for at least two days. A
state day when state ofﬁcials, mem-
bers of the legislature and others in
high oﬂlcial circles should attend,
would be a good move. ..

At the great English show “The
Royal," the King and retinue always
attend showing the royal appreciation
of the importance of agriculture to
the nation. v

The livestock departments at the
Fair were well ﬁlled. Each year the
quality has improved as breeders are
learning that it does not pay to show
inferior or unﬁtted stock. There was
lack of Michigan exhbiitors in some
classes, as Hereford and Swiss cattle,
and but a. single exhibition in others
as polled Shorthorns, Brown Swiss
cattle and Standard bred horses. Ev-
idently there is little interest in these

By IRA H. BUTTERFIELD

 

 

ATHEB. is“; for an article about the State Fair? Yes, it would be
’ team to publish an article of the average type, but this one

was prepared by Mr. In H.

Butterﬁeld, Michigan's “Grand

Old Man of Agrimlture” and not Only does he discuss the 1927
fair but he makes some excellent suggestions on how to make the

next one better.

And who is better prepared to make a. comparison

and suggestions than Mr. Butterﬁeld who knows more about the State

Fair and Michigan agriculture than any other  man? Certainly
, than is no man more interested in the future of the State Fair and we

know our folks will ﬁnd much of interest in this article—Editor.

 

 

by exhibitor. The breeder is the
one to be encouraged. .
Poultry made a large and good
show. The increase in production
classes is a good move. They are

really the back bone of poultry pro—’

duction. The so-called fancy breeds
are merely pet stock. If large cards
indicating the production classes and
also the‘ﬁne collection of laying pens
were placed, more satisfaction to ob-
servers wonld ensue.

And in general not enough pub-
licity is given to exhibits. The state
department of agriculture and Michi—
gan State College exhibits are ex-
amples of good advertising.

The new Agricultural building was
better ﬁlled and better arranged than

last year. Crop production has not
had the rank it deserves but is gain—
ing. We have been breeding better
stock, but the breeding of farm crops
until very lately has been a hit and
miss affair. I was particularly pleas-
ed to see the number of entries in
the “Wheat Special,” where yield is
given the importance. I hope it will
grow to include other crops.

Boys’ and Girls' Club are increas-
ing in poularitv and usefulness. No
movement is more favorable toward
keeping an interests in agriculture
and country life than geting the
boys’ and girls’ interest before they
stray to suburban life.

I was pleased to see the improve-
ment in the art department, which

Potato and Corn Crops Are Short

PERIOD of hot weather coupled

with frequent rains and no frost

during the month of September
hastened the Michigan corn crop to
maturity and materially increased
the prospects of a month ago so that
57 per cent of a normal crop is now
expected. according to a statement
issued by Herbert E. Powell, State
Commissioner of Agriculture and
Verne H.’ Church, Agricultural Sta—
tisticianer Michigan. Potatoes that
were planted late are still growing,
and bean prospects'showed consider-
abe improvement although rains late
in the month delayed the harvest
somewhat.

On October 1, one-half of the corn
crop in the State was mature, much
of it had been cut, and most of the
silo ﬁlling had been completed. The
forecasted crop of 35,765,000 bush—
els is still over eighteen million

bushels short of last year’s produc-
tion. The United States corn crop
prospects also increased greatly in
September, and the nation’s crop
now promises to be only two per cent
below last year. Michigan oats
turned out slightly better than in
1926 and also above average with
a yield of 33.5 bushels per acre. The
total production is nearly the same
as last year, but the quality is much
better and is above average. The
U. S. oats crop was 3.6 per cent
smaller than last year with a yield
of 28.1 bushels per acre.

The potato forecast is for the
smallest crop in Michigan since 1916
or only 23,771,000 bushels. The
condition of 60 per cent of normal
on October 1, is ten points below that
in any other important late potato
state. Consequently, the production

has been somewhat neglected of late.
Governor Green’s appointment of
women on the fair board was fully
justiﬁed in the management of the
art department by Mrs. Woodhouse.
However a much large building a
needed before this department can be
adequately provided for.

Several new features were added
this year which should and probably
did create a. wider interest in the fair,
as the ﬂy casting, which brought in
the Isaac Walton League, horse shoe
pitching and the minor stunts of hog
and cow calling. The latter more
humorous than useful. They should
be better advertised as to time. Few
people knew the day or hour when
they would occur.

The horse pulling contest was
again renewed, and created great in~
terest. The hour of trial was rather
early for farm visitors. Horse breed-
ers should know that the only value
of these contests are not mere trials
of strength, but are being made of
scientiﬁc value in the study of con-
formation as related to strength. It
is more than a mere prize ﬁght.

The increased attendance made
parking a premium, but the police
management seemed to be adequate
-—however this is becoming a prob-.
lem.

In Front of Grand Stand

The grand stand was well ﬁlled
and the vaudeville acts were clever.
The races were well contested but the
ﬁelds were small. There is no ques-
tion but that racing on the trotting
tracks is slowly declining in public
interest. It is not thrilling enough
for modern days.

The spectacle “Seige of Troy" was
an elaborate scene but to me not
particularly interesting until the real
ﬁreworks began. Altho no doubt it
was well played, one could not get
an idea of what it all meant and the
historical feature was lost.

I have no use for the modern mid-
way so I will say nothing about it. I
feel sure that it could be omitted and
replaced by something just as at-
tractive and more useful.

And now comes the question:
“What can be done to make the fair
still more useful?” It is a state in-
stitution and the state is responsible
for any advance or improvement. I
am sure that Mr. Fred Chapman, the
efﬁcient manager would welcome any
suggestions that would make the fair
more useful and interesting to the
people of the state. I would like to
see a. questionaire submitted to the
rural people who attend the fair,
asking, "Why they came, What they
saw of interest, suggestions regard-
ing changes or improvements." Just
how this could be accomplished I
have not thought out, but outside the
city it could be done with little ex-
pense through the county agents if
they could be interested. A con—
census of opinion might lead to
something of value.

There are many products of the
state that are perhaps of minor Im-
portance but in the total bring much
revenue to growers, that are not seen
at the fair. I will not mention them
here, but I have a scheme for 8.
winter fair in which I will speak of
them more particularly.

I would like to see a museum- of
agriculture and pioneer life on the
fair grounds. It would be an addition
of historical interest. There is no
more appropriate place for it than
the fair grounds, and the sooner it is
begun the more complete it can be
made.

If the manufacturers’ association
would become interested in showing
the people the great varietybf attic-g
193 made in Michigan I believe" it

would help to a realization of  

greatness of the state not generally
recognized.

   
 
 
 

   

  


  

    
  
       
   
     
 
     
      
  
    
  
   
    
   
  
 
 
 
   
    
 
   
   
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
  
     
  
   
    
  
   
      
   
    
  
  
  
    
   
  
   
   
  
  
   
  
   
  
  
  
   
 

When a Saginaw county farmer ﬂnds he
has been visited by chicken thieves the
ﬁrst thing he does is to try to get in touch
wit A. ,R. Geddes, who is a special of-
ﬁcer with the sheriff’s department be-
cause Mr. Geddes has a reputation of
being poison to these pests. \Vhen it
comes to getting his_ man he does not
have to take a back seat for anyone. Re-
cently he 'got two that landed an M. B. F.

reward for him.

HE Canadian Northwest Mounted
police who have become famous
in ﬁction, the motion pictures,

and throughout the criminal world
for their ability to trace criminals
have as their slogan, “Get your man.”
Up in Saginaw county, they have
something unique in the way of law
enforcement ‘in this country—a
 county detective who, “gets his man.”
Chicken thieves and criminals of the
pettycrime variety, thought Saginaw
icounty was heaven or at least the
happy hunting ground until along
came A. R. Geddes, and suddenly a
criminal paradise was turned into a
desert. Who can measure the inﬂu—
ence of a brave and corageous man,
for A. R. Geddes is both brave and
courageous? To follow criminals in
,ithe night, or any other time, until
you ﬁnally “land” them takes cour—
age, for these Criminals are prepared
~ to resist arrest, and many times do
not stop at the taking of a life, in
order to avoid being captured. Steal—
‘.ing in the rural districts of Saginaw
- county became so bad, that farmers
didn’t feel safe at night. Hundreds
of chickens were lost; grain and oth-
" or farm produce were being stolen
nearly every night. The sheriff’s of—
ﬁcers were already overtaxed, and
someone thought of putting on a
I ‘ County detective. They didn’t write

GRANGtE COMMENDS SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT AND GEDDES

HIERIFF‘S DEPARTMENT, Saginaw county:

Whereas the loss of

chicken’s by farmers through theft has beooune' a great menace.
And whereas many chicken thieves are being captured and con-
victed through the Sheriff’s office, therefore be it resolved that the
Saginaw County Pomona Grange in session at Forest Grange, June 9th,
1927, commend the work of the Sheriff’s Department and especially

Detective Ray Geddes.

Further that a copy of this resolution be sent

to the Sheriff‘s Department.—Oommittec: .Howard Smith, Henry Dei-
bel, Sarah Garrett. Mlildron McLean, Secretary.

 

 

A. R. Geddes, who knew just what
crime meant to the people living in
the rural districts, and when he got
busy stealing from farmers started
on the' down grade and criminals
started being “sent up” for good long
terms in our state prisons.

If you feel that we are over en-
thusiastic over the work of Detective
Geddes, read a brief report of some
of the outstanding chicken thieves
that he has been instrumental in ar-
resting, and seeing that they were
convicted. The following record is

only a part of the many arrests and
convictions that Geddes has made,
and in this list we have inclosed only
his recent arrests of chicken thieves
The following men have been

Young, Bridgeport, and the larceny
of chickens on the night of December

from three and a half years to ﬁfteen

Four men who found Saginaw county an unhealthy place for thieves preying on the
farmers and they have Mr. Geddes to thank for securing permanent addresses for them

for from one to ﬁve years.

Left to right they are: Egbert DeBar, 11/2 to 5 years in

Jackson State Prison; Ralph Hardin, 2 to 5 years in Jackson; Hiriam Rebedaw, 1%
to 5 years in Ionia; and Elmer Frasier, 1 year in Ionia. . .

convicted of stealing chickens: Ralph
Hardin, convicted of breaking and
entering chicken house of S. E. Asp-
in, Freeland, and also larceny of
chickens on May 6, 1927, at night
time. Hardin was sentenced to serve
from two to ﬁve years in Jackson, on
May 31, 1927. Earl Frasier, Elmer
Frazier, and Egbert De Bar, convict-
ed of breaking and entering chicken
house of Glenn Munger, Freeland,

day and Hodgkins were sentenced

at Ionia. These two men pulled
twenty-two chicken robberies in Sag-
inaw county since April 1, 1927,
stealing nearly ﬁve hundred heavy
chickens around Saginaw. Freeland
and Hemlock. They sold their chick—
ens at Flint to the Wolcott Produce
Company.

We of THE BUSINESS FARMER are

 
 

   

ken Thieves

happy to pay Mr. Geddes ﬁfty dollars
reward for the arrest. and conviction
of Charles Hodgkins and Ed Cassidy.
These two men stole chickens from
Henry Seidel and William Wagner,
both readers of THE BUSINESS
FARMER. They stble over four hund-
red chickens valued at ﬁve hundred
dollars. Bothof these chicken thieves
were sentenced on June 20th from
one to ﬁve years, with a recommenda-
tion of one and a half years. There
was a. little misunderstanding in the
paying of this reward, due to the
fact that these thieves stole from two
of our readers, but it was handled as
one case, and therefore there was
only the chance to pay one ﬁfty dollar
reward. we want to make it clear,
in order to avoid any misunderstand-
_ ing. THE BUSINESS FARMER pays ﬁfty
dollar rewards for each separate ar-
rest and conviction of poultry thieves.
For example, should two chicken
thieves go down the road at night
and steal from three 'or four of our
readers, and then were caught and
arrested, and convicted, we could not
V pay three rewards, nor should we be
expected to doiso, because three dif-
ferent readers last poultry. The re-
wards are paid for each arrest and
conviction, and not for each separate
farmer from whom poultry was stol-
en. It would be quite unfair to ex—
pect any other arrangement, and THE
BUSINESS FARMER is only too happy
to pay these ﬁfty dollar rewards, and
they will be paid, as they have in the
past, for each separate arrest and
conviction; but if a chicken thief
steals from ﬁve farmers and is only
arrested on one charge, we can only
pay the one reward. . '
In closing we wish to congratu-

Bill” Nelson Makes Sandy Land Productive:

By DONALD KLlNE

The year after the corn had been
grown, he drew several loads of soil
culture from a little patch of alfalfa
which grew on the side of a road,
seven miles away. Following a thor-

 

rough harrowing and rolling of the ,
soil, he sowed the ten acre area, and
was rewarded with a good stand.
Imagine his surprise when he was
able to cut a wonderful hay crop

that same year, the ﬁrst hay crap
to be grown on-that land in thirty
years. I Even‘the hired man was en-
thusiastic. Before that, Farmer Bill
had to buy his hay from farmers
several miles away. In a few years,
it was these same farmers who came
to buy hay from him. They had
thought it was impossible for alfalfa
to be grown on the sandy lands.
Three years later Nelson grew a
bumper corn crop on this ﬁeld,
quite a contrast to the ﬁrst stand he
had tried to grow. v -

The next year he added another
ten acres to his alfalfa stand. It
was a hard job to convince the
neighbors. I They‘ didn’t believe
that 1, white soil,.‘which they called
stuff, would ‘grow hay. This is how
he conquered the blow sand, and
made the' hill of sand into a beauti-

ful hill of- alfalfa.

.' It was not a lazy man’s job, this
problem of wrestling a foothold for
the alfalfa from the Sand. At ﬁrst,
he used lime screenings from a lime—

lime to the soil. Later he used marl.

gets results

 

70% of the accidents at grade crossings last year oc-

curred in daylight.

63% occurred where there was no obstruction to a

clear view of the crossing.

In a large majority of the accidents the automobile
drivers were familiar with the crossings.

I And 20% of the accidents were caused by the auto-
~ mobile running into the train.

These are the outstanding facts
about grade crossing accidents—the
growing number of which has be-
come a national problem.

The railroads were the prime movers
in the inauguration of organized
safety. And for years they have un-
dertaken every measure within their
ability to promote it.

Passenger fatalities have been re-

CHARGE FOR BLOWING
Please quote ’me the usual price

5, per acre, for plowing corn stubble,
‘ dragging, rolling—C. V. Y.; Almont,

Michigan.

E charge for plowing varies
somewhat depending on the sea.-
son of the year, the crop to be
plowed under and the kind of soil.

, Many farmers report paying $2.50

to $3.00 an acre for this "work.

“ Complete cost accounts for 1926 'on

twenty farms in New York State

. show the average cost for operating

tractors for that year to be $1.02 per

, hour.
Very little dragging and rolling
, are hired as special operations and

so it is diffcult to give a usual rate
for this kind of work. This could

. be best determined in the local com-

munity by obtaining the average pay
for man and team for a. day and di-
viding it by the number ocl.’ acres
rolled or dragged in that time—E.
B. Hill, Assistant to the Dean, Mich-
igan State College.

DIVIDING PROPERTY

I inherited a few thousand dollars
from my brother. I have one son
and a husband. In case of death,
how would that property go?——Mrs.
R., Deckerville, Mich.

F personal property, the husband
would receive one—half and the
child one-half the property upon

' your death without having made a

willé—Legal Editor.

BEET LEAVES IN 8H1)

Will you please tell me it the heel:
leaves will keep in a silo for winter
feed Or how long they will keep?-——
M. G., Kinda, Mich.

EET leaves placed in the silo

should keep it the silo is in

fairly good condition. The ma-_

chinery usually used in making corn
ensilage is not very well adapted to

- the making of beet ensilage, however

it may be used. A few farmers have
secured good results by putting beet
tops in pit silos—C. R. Megee, Assn.
Prof. of Farm Crops, M. S. C.

PAY ONE-HALF
A rents a farm to B, and fur-
nished all of the seed. Does A have

v to pay B’s thrash bill or does B have

to pay his own thrash bill?-_-‘-W._ H.

‘ IL, Capac, Mich.

F A furnishes everything except
labor, he is entitled to two-thirds
of crops or income from crops.

B should stand one-half of seed and

' thrash MIL—F. T. Riddell, Research

Assistant, M. S. C.

No AUTHORITY

Has a teacher a right to teach
school it she did not have a third

‘ grade certiﬁcate where she just had

been teaching on permits for ten
years?—J. H. 1., Boyne City, Mich.

EPLYING to this question, I
would say that previous to Sept-
ember 1, 1925, a country school

commissioner had authority, upon ex—
amination satisfactory to himself, to
issue a special certiﬁcate (sometimes
called a permit) to a teacher, which
would. qualify her to teach in a par-
ticular school, provided that, a second

What do you think of putting

‘mangels and rutabagas in with the

corn in silo at the time of ﬁlling,
tops and all?———H. S. G., Onaway,
Michigan.

- ANGELS and rutabagas should

be stored separately either in

a root cellar or in a pit and not
put in with corn in the silo. They
will not add much to the silage and
you get better feeding value by feed-
ing them alone. Nothing that you
can put in with corn silage would
improve it a great deal.

We recommend the feeding of. si-
lage as suchand mangels and ruta-
bsgas separately—C. E. Germany,

NLY a Maytag has this sturdy,
modern little gasoline engine,
. - and it is a part of the washer—-
not a separate, clumsy affair with
belts to be lined up and requiring
the help of the men folks. The house-
wife can start it and operate it her—
self. It sets underneath the tub in
the same position as the electric
motor on the electric Maytag.

Whether you have electricity or
not, you can enjoy the advantages
of the famous Maytag Aluminum
Washer; enjoy its cast-aluminum,
seamless, lifetime tub that holds four

. gallons more than ordinary washers,
that keeps the water hot throughout
a big washing, that empties itself and
cleans itself.

F fee

Write or phone
for a Maytag.
Use it on your
next washing
without cost or
obligation. ‘ If
it doesn’t sell
itself, don’t
keep it.

After you have seen it do a big
washing in an hour—wash such
things as collars, cuffs, wristbands,
even grimy overalls without hand-
rubbing, then you’ll know why the
Maytag enjoys world-leadership.

AMCO EGG MASH

NE hunc'-cd and sixty-four eggs is the new world’s
record for continuousegg production set by Lady
.Amco of Norfolk. The former record was 149 eggs.

 

 

Lady Amco is a White Leghorn from line bred, trap
nested stock, owned by A. R. Lander of Norfolk, Neb. She
made her remarkable record in the Am'co Egg Laying
Contest at Omaha, Nebraska, on AMCO EGG MASH.

On October 3, after laying her 158th egg, a veterin-
arian found her to be in perfect condition, showing that
all her needs for body maintenance, as well as produc-
tion, were fully supplied by AMCO EGG MASH.

ANY letters haw come to III
' M lately inquiring then: some
preparation» for winter. Some
want to  he! .

pose. A friend in Corona wan to
know what size building I would
, build, and how to
momodate 100

8 I
come to think of
winter.

If I Were to
build a. house for
100 h e n s , I
Would select a
site that would
be suitable for a.
larger building.
It is quite possi-
ble the 100 hot!
business may be
such a success a
larger number may want to be cared
for at some future time. The building
itself I Would construct so that either
the east or west might easily be
removed and placed farther away if
the house Were to be made larger. I
would‘build it 20 feet square with in.
cement ﬂoor. It would be as high in.“
the back as it was in trout, Would.
have a gable roof and a straw loft
in it. When all is said and done
there is nothing like a straw loft for
hen or hog houses, or‘ any other
building in which stock is kept. It
holds the temperature more eVen and,
with a more or less open hear below
the straw and some sort of opening
above the straw, the straw loft be-
comes one of the most efﬁcient means
of ventilation. There Would be one
or two good sized windows, snugly
ﬁtted into the west and east side
walls and the front would be nearly
all windows. The interior of the
house may be ﬁtted up to suit one’s
own ideas. I might add that the nicer
and more convenient you have the.
house,'the more you will think oh
your hens and their care, and really
your think and care of your hens is
‘what counts in the egg basket.

picking away at the hard pen clay
(of which our subsoil consists) that

down on it and if the subsoil Was
heavy clay I would pass it by. It
certainly is hard digging. Post holes
are next to impossible to dig and this

ithat would no doubt prove more than

Clever will not do it for various rea- ‘

Duncan perceived that he had meant to

Duncan looked at him thoughtfully. He
was a ﬁne looking man. No doubt con-
quests came easy for him. The boy turned
back to the ﬁgure on the other side of
the ﬁre with a certain puzzlement visible
on his brow. After all, what did he know
about this girl? Perhaps she might be
reconciled to her captivity. Was it wise
to risk his own life.

“Nonsense !" he said to himself sharply,

There were only ﬁve at hand, he noted,
and there were six, including the girl, to
ride. Locke strode up as the boy ran a.
practiced hand over the girths.
“Take the girl behind you,” he ordered.
Duncan went back to her at once. She
was, standing, and looked up as he came
Closer. The color that had been in her

her cheeks. Her eyes were red, and her
mouth was the mouth of a woman years

and then slipped on in front of her. The
big saddle was large enough for both of
their slim bodies. He paused a moment

thoughtfully, then took the tie rope from .

the saddle horn and passed it around her,
so that she was tied securely to him.

Locke had been waiting. When Duncan
was ready, he gave the word. The troo
set off. ~

Early in the afternoon they ﬁled into
a clearing in a small valley far back in
the hills.- 'They had cut across streams,
climbed hills, wound thru timber, so that
Duncan had only a rough idea. where they
were. He knew that. they were markedly
east and perhaps a. bit south of the Au-
gusta Court House, and guessed that it
might be as short a way to get out of the
mountains to go east, as to go back to
the great valley they had left to the west-
ward.

A string of log huts had been built
close to the little creek. A good sized cor-
ral for the horses was nearby. Duncan
recognized the big draft horses of the
Moraviaus in the enclusure. Upwards of
nfteen men were about, some ‘of them
carrying packs from the horses to a. spot
in front. of the cabin. The rest were
standing about as if waiting for some-
thing. As Duncan expected, he recognized
the branded man of Mecklenburg. Evi—
dently he had been the advance agent for
the bandits. Locke‘lifted the girl off the
horse. She could hardly stand. He half
carried her into the cabin, disappeared
within it, came out promptly and shut
the door. ’

Duncan Went with’the other men to un-
saddle and turn loose the horses. The four
that worked with him went at the job with
furious haste, exchanging low comments
as they worked. As soon as they ﬁnished,
they'ran back to where a ring was form-
ing with rLocke in the center. The boy
went and joined the rest.

In the center of the ring was piled the
spoil of the raid. There were two riﬂes,
four muskets and a keg of powder, some
bullet moulds, some sides of bacon, a. bag
of meal and a miscellany of clothing.

“These things go into a common fund,"
the captain was saying. “The money——
which I shall now count out—is as usual
to be split in ﬁve parts, one part for me
and the rest equally divided among you.
The money we get from the horses will be
divided the same way."

“What about the boy, sir?"
asked, respectfully.

“He’ll stay here and help with the
work. No chance for ransom, even if we
wanted to risk it'. He can’t get away.”

He paused, and back in the crowd came
a thin whisper:

“What about the girl?"

Locke put his hands on the butts of
two silver mounted pistols he carried in
his belt.

“The girl stays with me 1” he declared.

IV—THE CAPTAIN ’S FISTOL

Duncan carried Agnes SaWyer her sup-
per that night. He stood outside, handed
her the trencher, and waited while she
ate. In order to quiet any suspicions, he
sat down on a log‘near the door and put
his head sleeplly betweenhis hands. Act-
ually, he spent the time talking to her,
but anyone a. few yards away could not
have guessed it. ‘

"No danger for a. while,’.’_ and he was
carefully not to say speciﬁcally what the
danger was._‘ “They’ll all sleep sound
tonight. Tomorrow Locke may take our
horses over the hills east and sell them.
That’ll take two or three days,‘ and may—
be more. We’ll bays 3. chance.” 1 ‘

She asked if there were any women in

"No. They had, Indian women here

“But why did they bring me?"
“Locke’s captain—he wanted to.
some of the others—” he hesitated.

“Go on—what do the others say?”

“They say,”—he was translating freely
-—-“he hasn’t any right. .They’re mad,
some of them.”

She wondered if he meant that the
others might let her go. Duncan remem-
bered the exact Words that had been pass~
ed, the look'of the men who had talked,
about her. .

‘,‘:’Fraid n0t,’,’ he concluded brieﬂy, and
held out his hand forg‘he‘r trencher, and

TEXT: “And whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper." Psalm 1:3d.

“ HEN the Lord makes me
worth $25,000.00 I will serve

, Him,”, said my preacher-
friend. The writer has known other
preachers who are clever in dicker-

ing with God, but none so outspoken- ’

ly presumptuous as this one. Verily,
Jacob of old has a numerous prog-
eny. But ever since that rich farm-
er in the Gospel picture was con-
demned as an unprosperous soul, we
have known that stuffed barns and
ﬁlled grain bins are not distinctive
marks of prosperity. The foolish-
ness of this farmer led to his de-
struction. But God said long before
that “The prosperity .of fools shall
destroy them.” On the other hand,
those ancient days have framed the
portrait of a man who found the
road to true prosperity. The sign—
posts are clearly marked in the ﬁrst
psalm as follows: Delight in the
Truth (2), the bearing of fruit (v3),
and a walking with Jehovah (v6).
These, according to our text, make
one prosperous.

First of all, then, one’s prosperity
is determined by one’s delights. Let
us get it straight. When one’s de-
lights are set upon earthly husks,
one is unprosperous. The soul is in
a state of decay. The prodigal is an
extreme case, but not Luke’s moral-
ized farmer. This man, as far as we
know, provided well for his family,
paid his honest debts, was interested
in good roads and schools, and went
to church on Sunday. The only thing
God had against him was that his
heart was in the wrong place. It
centered in bigger barns, odoriferous
hog~pens, and accumulated lands.
Are there any now-a—days like him?
The offering: was being taken for
“God’s poor.” An aged laborer threw
in one and one—half dollars. The
rich farmer for -whom this man
worked gave but a few cents. On
arrival at his home after the service
he hurried to show the writer his
ﬁne hogs. He proudly pointed out
the ﬁne curl in the old sows tail.
Now wasnt that farmer’s heart' peri-
lously near his hog-pen? A short
visit told that he had little religious
interest. He was just a church
“joiner.” He seemed little con-
cerned about others or the bearing
of Revealed Truth upon his. life. But
let us be fair and say that some
farmers are delightfully different.
They are not endangering their souls
through prostituting the blessings of
Providence. They have set their
hearts for the defense of the Truth
and delight in the service it is ren-
dering the world.

To delight in “the law of Jehovah.”
indicates an healthy and prosperous
soul. Of course, that means today
to incorporate within the under-
standing of thesoul the' principles of
Jesus, and to make these meaningful
in the motiVes and acts of life.‘ When
~one ﬁnds the saltﬁof life growing
savorless, or more literally, when
'one is making a fool of one's self;
one is off the prosperous way. Christ
is this way. He came to make the
soul prosperous. Other things do
not matter so much. The writer un—
swervingly believes that though edu-
cation, a broad culture, and‘pure
pleasures, may contribute to reﬁned
living,’ nothing can cleanse the, soul
of disease and the life of crookedness
but the applicationof Christ’s teach-
jugs. The apostle conﬁrms, this
when he says that to be “ﬁlled with
the knowledge of his will” gives
“spiritual wisdom and “understand-
ing." God mark the man as pros-
perous who delig ts more and more
tie-bring his life under the inﬂuence
of Eternal 'Truth. _ .

The psalmist describes this man as
_“li_ke a tree planted by the streams
ot'”water, that bringeth forth its

fruit in' season." ' Certainly, to have- '

a tree bear fruit it must be healthy.
It “must prosper. And, conversely.
.its prosperity is known by its fruit-
earing.‘ Christ put this principle
into “Awards,

    

 

‘Af treads known: by;

I

its fruit.” This season has given us
sparingly of fruit. Why? The trees,
the trees! The trees have been so
diseased as to defy the best formu-
las of our spraying authorities . In
like manner, souls so diseased as to
mock the presumed curative proper-
ties of human formulas,
clean through the power 'ofthe Gos-
pel. One who is nourished ,by Him
who is “the water of life” bears
fruit. The fruit is new and good
because the creature is new.

This new life stimulates one’s whole
nature to fruitful activity. When
one drinks of the Living Water, one

this one, “whatsoever he doeth shall

Finally, the prosperous man is
marked because he “walketh not in

parallelism of the ﬁrst verse reaches
a fatal climax. “Walketh,” “stand-

are the three steps to failure and

other derelicts. The signs of better
days were yet upon him. “What are
you doing here?" the man was
asked. “I am sliding into hell,” he
replied. And then in tears this
wreck told how, in the gilded and
mirrored saloons of the city, he
couseled with the wicked, and now
he was sitting with them and could
not get back. Truly, “the way of
the Wicked shall perish” because the
Lord knows not this way.

ly and had such satisfying experi-
ence that he testiﬁes, “A man’s go-
ings are established of . Jehovah.”
“And stops too” says Geo. Muller.
The walk of the man who delights
in the Truth is limited to moral
safety zones. “The law of his God
is in his heart and none of his steps
The soul who does not
sit idly by but thinks and acts within
the realm of the Highest Law, has
found the way to eternal prosperity.
Proof: “And Enoch walked withGod:
and was not. for God took him."

Now, what kind of prosperity are
you most interested in? “Seek ye
ﬁrst His kingdom and His righteous-
ness, and all these things (material)
shall be added unto you.” This is
the standing rule for him who reck-
ons that inward prosperity should
run ahead of outward progress. How
many folks sweat and fume for Mam-
mon and lose out with God Any
kind of adversity is better than a
prosperity that works ruin to the
soul life. So, “whatsoever he doeth
shall prosper” is spoken of the man
whose strength lies in spiritual
foundations.

REGISTER YOUR FIIHEARMS

0 not forget that a new lav! went into effect
c D September 5th making it necessary to have
i all pistols up to 30 inches in length in the
State registered not later than November 'lst of
this year. Every farmer owning a pistol should
take it to his local sheriff fonregistration. Failure
to register makes the owner liable to a ﬁne of
$100 or imprisonment of 90 days. This does not
apply, however, to pistols kept only as antiques
or curios.

Law—abiding citizens will have no difficulty in
getting permits to purchase Weapons to protect
their homes, no more than they had before the
law was enacted, but the gunman and the bandit
will be the ones to get hit by the new law and
they are the ones that it is aimed at. If it puts
a few of them out of business it is well worth
while.

county official who was formerly a farmer

and has waged a relentless war against chicken
thieves since he became a representative of the
law. A. R. Geddes is his name, and he has
acquired quite a reputation as being sure poison

THE STATE FAIR

A DETROIT newspaper recently published an
editorial criticising the present State Fair
and suggesting that if Detroit was given a
more prominent place among the exhibitors its
. success would be far greater. Too much agricul-

ture seemed to be the writer’s opinion.
The State Fair should represent Michigan as
‘ she is. Detroit with all her industries should be
given space and especially would a complete auto-
mobile show win much interest. But we do not
want to see the time come again when Detroit
dominates as it did in years gone by. Agriculture
is the backbone of the nation and it should be the

backbone of the fair, in our estimation.
Discussing what can be done to make it a great
show the writer cited the Canadian National Ex-
. postion at Toronto as an example. Why didn’t
‘ he compare the Michigan State Fair with the
World’s Fair? Susely he wouldn’ compare a
cheap automobile with one of the most expensive
kind, yet he considers our State Fair in the same '

‘ light as the Toronto exposition.

Like the tramp who was asked t change o
i .twenty-dollar bill, we appreciate the compliment
' ut it isn’t possible to accomodate. Compare our

IT WILL NOT WORK

N a recent. issue the. Otsego County Herald-
I Times, of Gaylord, urged Michigan motorists
to be very courteous to tourists and. help
"sell" our State. A If you see a motorist stalled
along the highway you are asked to stop and
offer help. If you see him at a corner apparent-
ly puzzled about directions, stop and advise him,
it says. And.there are other little things of this
nature we can do, according to this paperfthat
will help.
ment Bureau commented very favorably on the
idea. - ’
The idea is a good one alright, we readily
’ agree, and we wish it would work as well as all
good citizens would‘like to have it. Perhaps it
will work in the northern part of the State, but
not near, any of our large cities because there are
too many bandits at large, roaming our public
highways. Many a motorist has stopped to help
what appeared to be a fellow motorist in trouble
only to be held .up and relieved of his valuables.
Automobile clubs are warning their members
against offering help‘or stopping to,give lifts to
folks walking along the highway, because of the
large number of robberies.

AN ALFALFA RECORD

T is very interesting to notice the increasing
I popularity of alfalfa in Michigan and how it
is changing the farm program. County Agricul-
tural Agent H. L. Barnum of Missaukee county
recently told us that the farmers in his county
have doubled their acreage each year for the last
three years. Because of the alfalfa dairying has
come forward in that northern county until today
it takes a leading part in the program of the
farms. And not many years ago few people could
conceive of Missaukee ever becoming [a dairy
county.

County Agent Barnum believe Missaukee has a
record for others to shoot at. He is of the opin-
ion that itis the only county in the State having
an average of ﬁve acres of alfalfa on each farm.
How about it, county agents?

 

HERE'S A NEW ONE

KALAMAZOO citizen was awakened one
night by a noise in his chicken coop. He
went out to investigate and found a neighbor
in the coop standing beside two dead chickens.
When he was arrested and charged with stealing
chickens he entered a plea of not guilty, claiming
that his presence in the coop was due to walking
in his sleep. The judge couldn't see it that way
and ﬁned him $25.
Next time this chap gets to walking in his
sleep We wager he will'not stray so far from home.

 

BEAT THIS IF YOU CAN

HE other day we received a letter from
Owen Garrett, of Alcona county, in which he
stated that he was forwarding by separate

mail a ripe tomato which he desired us to inspect
and “test.” The tomato was grown on a. two
year old vine, he said, which stood in the bay
window of his home. Standing nearly ﬁve feet
high the vine has both ripe and green tomatoes
as well as blossoms on it at the same time. It
was taken into the house about the ﬁrst of Octo-
ber, 1925, and he picked the ﬁrst ripe tomatoes
in February, 1926. Since that time he has had
ripe tomatoes about every two weeks.

The next mail brought us the tomato which
was rather small in size but wonderfully ﬂavored.

We echo Friend Garrett’s question, “Who can
beat it?"

 

FOOLISHNESS

' RGANIZED sportsmen of the State are ad-
vocating, a. bond issue to'be used for thgbuy-
ing of timbered lands to be set aside as for-

est reserves primarily'to furnish food and protec-

tion for wild life. All they are asking for is
$10,000,000-

If the ten millions were to be used just for
establishing large forest reserves for timber grow-
ing the idea would be worth entertaining, but we
do not believe that is whatthe‘ sportsmen have
in mind. What they are interested in has game
reserve and that looks like ngood way to getit.

before I even received the receipt to

Either our Jackson county friend
met up with an unusually honest
agent or she was easily sold because
most cases we hear of indicate that
high pressure salesmanship is used.
Of course, everyone should read a
paper before signing it—but if the
agent was honest it would not be
necessary because he wouud make a.
true statement as to what appeared
on the paper. A Mescota county read-
er was not so fortunate, as you will
see from her letter: '

“I guess there was one of these
picture swindlers at our house. He

sented himself as a school census tak-

costa county. '

The above letter is typical of many
received at our office so we have
plenty of reason for getting “down”
[on the picture agent. There are var—
ious ways of “welcoming” him, such
as using a number 10 shoe, the broom
or an ugly dog, but if he does get
into the house by some hook or crook
you can use the method employed by
one ofour Eaton county friends. We
will let her explain her method,
which we believe she will recom-
mend:

‘The picture agent called on me
some time ago. As usual he had the
lucky envelopes to draw. I let him
get wound up and then told him I
would have nothing to do with his
envelopes. I asked what company he
represented, then I said: “Oh, yes, I
have read of you in THE BUSINESS
FARMER.’ He gave me such an inno—
cent look and asked me to repeat the
name of the paper. I said, ‘They warn
the public about picture agents and
many others.’ At that he said, ‘If
some of these cheap farm papers are
doing such things as that they are
just trying to hurt honest business
ﬁrms. My ‘usually sweet disposition’
began to sour just then and I said,
‘Don't you run down THE BUSINESS
FARMEB for it is one of the best farm
papers ever published, and if I want

- any pictures a local photographer is

good enough for me.’ He said may—
be next time he came I would be
feeling better and I said, ‘Never!’ At
that he left.

“Also think the linoleum man"
‘ was here recently, at least one an-
, swering that description was. I did '
" not bite, but I hate to confess, I sure-

ly would have if I had had the money.
We sure like THE BUSINEss FARMER.”
-—Mrs. F. 0., Eaton county.

From no man’s land!

Feel no alarm! 1

VVe’ve found a charm

To keep off harm!

Decorate the house with jack-o’-
lanterns, witches cut from black
paper, black cats, and any other ap-
propriate ﬁgures. In one corner of
the room have a big black kettle sus-
pended over a make-believe ﬁre.
After the guests have arrived some
member of the family dressed as an
old witch rushes into the room. The
lights have been turned very low to
make it look more witchy. In a.
covered basket the Witch has a num-
ber of ingredients which she will
need for charms. She gives the has-
ket to the hostess and their stands,
muttering over her witch pot. The
hostess explains that the objects
must be passed through every hand
till they reach the witch, and forms
the company into a line. Then she
bandages everyone’s eyes and passes
ﬁrst a hot baked potato. Of course
it is not hot enough to burn anyone
but still this is passed very quickly
to the next and all along the line
little screeches follow. Next comes
a. piece of ice, an old glove ﬁlled
with damp mush, a large soup bone;
a large grape without the skin and
an oyster. The horrid feel of these
various things will keep the com-
pany squealing and when the last
has been droppedinto the witch’s
kettle the bandages are removed and
they may all look in.

The old witch then stirs and stirs
and ﬁnally she gives to each player
an orange envelope. The paper in-
side seems blank but when held over
a candle the fortunes, which are
written in lemon juice, become read-
able. A clever hostess can think of
many amusing fortunes to write on
the papers. '
.If you are fortunate enough to
have some one among your friends
who is clever at telling fortunes, let
her dress as a gypsy and occupy the
“Fortune Telling Tent." If she (or
he) is not able to make up her own
lingo, follow the suggestion in the
following paragraph.

The booth is partitioned off with
a curtain. outside have stationed a
ghost. This is a sheet stuffed to re-
semble a human form. .On the in-
side. of the booth, which is lighted
by a red candle, the gipsy sits at a
small box on which, lays the for-
tune whe’el. This is a large circle of

We all know quite well that the sun in shining, though hidden at

LEAR-NED IN THE COLLEGE
OF EXPERIENCE

GREAT saving of time when

laundering the muslin caps to

the comfortables is to have a
good sized dress snap sewed on the
comfortable and the other section of
the snap on-the muslin cap which is
so easily changed.

Before frying pancakes take the
egg beater and give them a. vigorous
beating. This makes them very ﬁne
and light. It is also very good for

 

cakes before putting them into the
baking pans.

A ﬂat varnish brush is wonderful
to put the soft butter on the leaves
of bread and to oil the bread tins.
These can be bought at any ﬁve and
ten cent store—Mrs. C. B., Tekon-
sh‘a, Mich.

_Tablo Service.—-—Hints in serving and
eating meals. A guest in the home. The
hostess is responsible for the happiness
of her guest and should look out for her
enjoyment. If an accident should occur
at the , ble, the hostess should make the
guest eel at ease immediately. No sub-
ject should be discussed, if a guest is
present, which is not of interest to her or
of a. nature which would be embarrassing
to her.
to food give a preference even if it is
immaterial to you. It will aid the hostess
in servingg Never refuse a. serving. :Eat
some of the serving. If taking an active
part in the conversation, /too much at-
tention to the conversation may seem the
reason for not eating all of the serving.

It is quite proper. to have a second
serving of food.
show appreciation to the hostess’who un-
doubtedly has planned something that
she hoped would be agreeable to her
guest. The hostess should never ﬁnish
eating before her guest. A guest for
one meal should not fold the napkin at
the end of the meal but place it on the
table before leaving. A guest for more
than one meal should fold the napkin at
the end of the meal.

Serving the meal. All the food is
placed and served from left of the per-
son except the beverage which is placed
A salad served with the
main part of the meal may be placed from
the right. All plates are removed from
the left of the person exce‘pt the unused
knives and spoon which should be removed
from the right. In asking if a second
serving is desired, do notouse the word
“more.” “May I serve you" or -f‘may I
give you” is a better form. All of the
members at the table should have been
served before any member at the table
begins to eat. The hostess should begin
eating, as a signal for the other members
to begin. A water glass should not be
ﬁlled more than three-fourth full.

General table manners. The position
at the table should be an erect one, el-
bows never resting on the table. The
spoon should not be left in the cup when
drinking from it. It is quite proper to
test the temperature of the beverage with
the spoon, but after having tested the
beverage, the spoon should be placed in
the I saucer. In eating soup. the
spoon should be dipped away from the
person eating. Sip from the side of the
spoon. A dish should not be tipped in
order to get the last bit remaining in it.
In eating a slice of bread, break it in
small pieces before spreading it with but-
ter. In passing a plate for a second help-
ing, place the knife and the fork straight
on the plate, and a little to one side, in
order that there may be no danger of
their slipping off and that part of the
plate may be ready to receive the food.
In passing dishes the thumb and ﬁngers
should not come above the top of the
plate. Tooth—picks should not be used in
public. They should be used only in the
privacy of one's room. The silverware or
the china should not be played with while
waiting for the food to be served nor
should the silver be used for gesticulat-
ing. The food should not be held on the
fork While talking; having once picked
the food up eat it promptly. One should
not leave the table without being excused,
except when one is serving as a. waitress.
Bread or crackers should not be broken
into soup. In using the ﬁnger bowl, the
ﬁnger tips of only one hand at a time
should be dipped in the water. The nap-
kin is used to dry the water from the
ﬁnger tips. In using a dinner napkin. it
is better not to unfold the napkin fully,
only partly unfold it. The napkin should
not be folded or unfolded above the top of
the table. Always use the napkin in as
inconspicuous a. manner as possible.

Foods eaten from the ﬁngers—The fol-
lowing foods may be eaten from the ﬁns-
ers: crackers, olives, pickles, celery, rad-
ishes, corn on the cob, most raw fruits.
salted nuts, crystallized fruits and ben-
bons. Apples, pears and peaches are serv-
ed with a knife and are quartered, peeled.
and cut into small pieces before eating.
Cherries, plums and grapes are eaten one
by one, the stones and the seeds being
removed with the ﬁngers and placed on

the plate. I

EAR Boys and Girls: Our “Fish”
contest certainly was 9. popular
one and most of those who ans-

swered it proved themselves good
ﬁshermen by giving a. crorect list.
It is too bad that all could not be
rewarded but it was to be the ﬁrst
three to send in correct lists and they
were reat Marsh of Route 3 out of
No , Ruth Zook on Route 1 out
of Mio, and Kathleen Anderson who
lives near Croswell on Route 5. The
“Mystery Prizes” were a. Boy Scout
jackknife for Treat, a. ﬁne big school

bag for Ruth, and a. nice purse for “

Kathleen. All of these will come in
very handy I feel sure.

I think “Mystery Prizes" are best
don’t you? If you know in advance
just what you will get if y0u win it
isn't near as much fun, is it? Then,
if prizes are named in advance they
are not always suitable for those who
win them, but when they are “Myst-
ery Prizes" they can be chosen ac-
cording to the winners.

Now here is another new contest,
one entirely different than any other
we have ever had. We want a title
for the picture that appears below
and it is up toyou boys and girls to
supply this title. Can you do it?
We want something real clever, ser-
ious or funny, and the boy or girl to
send in the best title will receive a
dandy “Mystery Prize." Also there
will be prizes for second and third
best. In addition I will send pins

and pledge cards to the ﬁrst ten to-

send in their titles, providing, of
course, they have not. already re-
ceived pins.

The contest ends November. 5th
and letters postmarked later than
12:00 noon of that day will not be
considered. More than one title can
be sent in if you wish but you must
number them as to your choice. In
the event the judges choose a. title
sent in by two or more the one re-

, ceived first will get the prize. Now
let’s, see just how clever‘you can be 3

at naming pictures—~7—UNOLE NED. .

 

Our Boys and Girls

 

Dear Uncle Nod:--I have Myer written
to you before but I have read and can
Jjoyed the children’s page very much.

Deer Uncle Nedz—I received my pin

me to do, Uncle Ned. I have hung my
motto up in my room‘ and every morning
when I wake up I look at it and say I
will try to live up to the motto. I forgot
to tell you last time I wrote that I am
a scout and I hope I can make a good
one too. Uncle Ned, I cannot tell you how
very, very glad I was to receive your let-
ter. It was the ﬁrst letter I had that
was like that. I am at Kalamazoo now
but am going back to Doster. I am here
in my home in Kalamazoo. My mother
and daddy work so I get dinner for my-
self and get supper for my mother and
daddy at night. I hope you are feeling
ﬁne.—Junita. White, Doster, Mich.

The  to Farm ‘Proﬁt

The old-fashioned ways that made.» money in {arming
before the war have gone by the board. Everything
is changed. The man who sticks to the old ideas has
a hard time of it nowadays.

Yields must be increased, operations must be handled
more eﬁciently, labor must be saved. Better equipment
must produce bigger and better crops at lower costs—or
there is little proﬁt.

First, fertility must be put in the soil, and the scientiﬁc
method is by McCormick-Bearing Manure Spreader. The
speed and ease with which fresh manure is handled and
put evenly on the ﬁelds with this spreader enc0urages the
full use of valuabIe fertility.

An inventor who could develop an airplane which

v» ' ” Did you ever stop to think how many revolutions the
‘ wheel of a windmill makes? If the wheel of an Aermotor should
, " roll along the surface of the ground at the same peed that it
 makes when pumping water it would encircle the wor d in 90 days,
 or would go four times around in a year. It would travel on an
average 275 miles per day or about 30 miles per hour for 9 hours
_ each day. An automobile which keeps up that pace day after day
needs a thorough oiling at least once a week. Isn’t it marvelous,
, then, that a windmill has been made which Will go 50 times as long as the best

light on' the question of how proﬁt-
able purebreds are compared with
grade cows considering only milk and
butterfat production.

Occasionally
cows have not produced as much but-
terfat as the best grade cows.
total of 4,836 purebred cows on test
for twelve months show that they
produced an average of 8,637 pounds
milk and 332 pounds butterfat test-
ing 3.8%.
1926 and 1927 and under similar
conditions, 6,956 grade cows show
that they averaged 7,722 pounds
milk and 315 pounds butterfat test-
ing 4.170.

you advise German Prunes in heavy

McINTOSH and Delicious are both

more or less self sterile so the

combination of the two will do
very well to pollinate each other.
Personally I believe that the Me-
Intosh is the better variety of the
two for the commercial orchardists in
Michigan. Your. commission man
gave you good advice when he told
you to stick to the standard varieties.
You are safe in planting Greenings.
It is one of our most productive va-
rieties, but be sure to get Rhode
Island Greening. If the Spy does
well and colors well in your neigh-
borhood. then you should by all
means plant some Spies. They are
hard to beat. Our experience with
the Wagoner has been that it is very
ﬁne and very productive while
young, but it is small and poorly
colored on old trees. We would ven-
ture the suggestion that you plant
some Spies and use Wageners as ﬁll-
ers between the Spies. We are us-
ing this combination on our own
place and ﬁnd it very satisfactory.
The Wageners "bear their heads off”
while you are waiting for the Spies
to bear, and then when the Spies get
down to business and need more
room the Wageners will be on the
down grade and it will not require
such a lot of courage -to pull them
out. The Wagoner would also do
very well as a ﬁller between the
Greenings and McIntosh.

I know of no reason why your plan
of using cherries as ﬁllers should not
be 0. K. provided you are blessed
with the necessary amount of gump-
tion to pull them out when they be-
ginto crowd the apples trees.

It you want some good blue plums,
we would suggest the Grand Duke
and the Monarch.

RULE FOR FEEDING KENS

Will you please give me the laying
rations for ﬁfteen buff rock hens in
feed 'by quarts? Have meat scraps
right in coop and my dry mash is
'equal parts of corn meal, oatmeal,
and middlings, for scratch feed corn
and wheat. I am feeding to fatten
and if all right how many quarts
should I feed at a time and how
often.am I to feed? Am getting
two and three eggs now a day but
not by the same hens always and are
oats a good feed for scratch, have
oyster shells all the while?—Mrs.
L. A., Marion, Michigan.

GOOD rule to follow in feeding

hens is to allow twelve pounds

of scratch feed per day to each
hundred birds, keeping the mash be—
fore them at.all times. -Many times
the birds ‘will demand a greater
amount of scratch feed, but the
amount given over twelve pounds
should be governed by the birds ap-
petite—C. G. Card, Professor of
Poultry Husbandry, M. S. C.

SPOTS IN EGG

Could you please tell me what
makes spots in the eggs? It con—
sists of a kind of ﬂeshy substance
with blood in it and it is about the
size of a ﬁeld pea. My hens all seem
to be healthy.—Mrs. J. K., Eckford,
Mich.

HE ﬂeshy substance which you
mention in the egg is caused by
some small part of the ovary

slipping off with the egg yolk.
There is no need for alarm as a few
of these eggs are laid in any ﬂock.
——J. M. Moore, Extension Poultry—
man, M. S. C.

 

“ALFALFA BILL" NELSON DIAKES
[SANDY LAND PRODUCTIVE

(Continued from Page 4)

Farmer Bill fooled them. As soon
as they showed up he would disc or
harrow the land. He did this until
about August ﬁrst when it seemed
certain that they had been killed.

Mr. Nelson now mixes 500 pounds
of acid phosphate with 200 pounds
of sulphate ammonia which he sows
to about an acre and a half of land,
besides all the barnyard manure he
can get. _

Immediately after a rain in the
latter part of July or the ﬁrst part
of August he sows the seed, not
more than eight pounds to the acre.

Nelson has found that this mois-
ture is necessary for the seed to
germinate and to get a start on the
light sand. . 7

Even Jason Woodman was sur-
prised those ﬁrst years. One night
at a farmers’ meeting Mr. Woodman
announced that for once he was not.
going to do any talking, but that
there was a man in their midst
whom he was going to have talk.
That man was Farmer Bill. He
made them a little speech, straight
from the heart, because he loved to
talk (about alfalfa. Nelson was no
public speaker but he certainly
know what he was talking about.
That was why he was asked by the
Farm Crops Department to give a.
radio talk over WKAR to the
farmers of Michigan in January and
it was fascinating to listen to him
tell the story of his success in get-
ting the best of the blow sand.

The alfalfa is cut when one third
of the plants are in bloom and the
new buds are well started. Mr. Nel-
son cuts cross ways of the ﬁeld and
rakes cross ways of the math, in
order to save as many of the leaves
as possible. He only makes two cut-
tings a season.—~Donald Kline.

Thought Asthma

Sleeps 'All Night Now. Bronchial Trouble
Is Gone.

How! to get rid of asthma and severe
bronchial coughs is convincing-ly_told 1n
, a letter written by Mrs. E. »J. Bam, 1902

> Vermont St., Indianapolis, Ind. It
5 says:

“I had bronchial asthma so severely
that I could not do anything. I was so
weak and nervous, it just seemed I would
drop at» every step. had no appetite,
could not sleep at night, and had to sit in
a chair so I could breathe. When I would
lie down it seemed as if I would smother

v to death. Since taking Nacor, every symp-
tom of asthma has left me, and I did not
have a bad cold or cough all winter. I can
walk quite well, have a good appetite;
weigh 150 pounds, sleep Well at night and
am stronger than I have been for several
years. I owe it all to Nacor and am will-

ing to tell others.” . .

Hundreds of other Indianapolis suffer-
ers from asthma, bronchitis and severe
chronic coughs have reported their recov—
ery, after years of afﬂiction. Their let-
ters and a booklet of valuable information

MARKETING BEANS
EAR EDITOR: Your editorial
in a recent issue about beans
interested me and I have taken
this opportunity to write you the
thoughts of our neighborhood on the
marketing of beans.

Last year we sold our beans to the
local elevator and at the time the
price was $3.85 per hundred pounds
But did We receive that? Absolute—
ly not! We allowed the elevator
$1.43 for picking and received $2.42
for our beans. Now the way nearly
every one around here feels is that
the elevators are robbing us as We
pay twelve cents a pound to have the
beans picked and do not even get the
picks back, but have to pay on top
of this $20.00 per ton for cull beans.

In one case a man bought seed
beans from the elevator and paid a
fancy price for hand picked beans.

After sowing he had a hundred

pound bag left and the elevator man,
not knowing at ﬁrst that they Were

seed beans that Were being returned"

picked a sample and was going to
take out an eleven pound pick, so it
goes to sow that they do not pick
as close after they get our beans for
themselves as they want to pick for
us on our samples.

I am inclined to think the trouble
at .present is with our, elevators.
They know' what the» markets are
and if they would give us a_ square
deal on the beans the farmer Would
be satisﬁed with a fair price and our
culls back,or receive [some return for
them. We give the elevator $40.00
on 150 bushels or 750 pounds of
beans. ‘

Yours for better marketing condi-
tions and much 'praise for your
help on the chicken thieves—C. B.,
Eaton County.

a lively pace, to the great delight of

the hosts of farmers throughout the

corn belt states. It looks like a

much larger crop of corn and much

lower prices than were expected in
the late summer, but still a short
crop and much higher prices than

ferred from the fact that a short
time ago the receipts for the year in
seven western pa. points were
7,270,000 head, against 8,705,000 a
year ago.‘ Recently the demand for
stock and feeder cattle has come
largely from Michigan, Ohio and In-
diana, but fair shipments went to
eastern grazing datricts. It is prob-
able that mnch less cattle feeding
than usual will be done this winter,
and good proﬁts seem probable. Late

,sirable in obtaining the best results.
There is going to be lots of damaged
’corn, as well as much injured oats,
gand high grade seed corn will sell
{high. There is a shortage of old
corn, and the supply a short time
1150 farm reserves were estimated at
|160,000,000 bushels, against 270,-
000,000 bushels a year ago. From
various parts of the country come re-
ports of failure of the corn crop, and
this is true of northern Illinois,
where the corn is going to be cut by
hand in many instances. Only a
short time ago it was stated that
corn growers had disked Wheat on
the land. The government crop re—
port was a surprise, however, as it
makes the corn crop only 44,000,000
bushels less than was harvested in
1926. There is about the same re-
duction in the oats crop, while the
wheat crop looms up big, the yield
being placed at 867,000,000 bushels,
a gain over 1926 of 34,000,000
bushels. As for prices for wheat, the
outlook does not appear to point 'to
a high level unless farmers hold
down their shipments to reduced
amounts, for there is a large world
production, and competition to se-
cure buyers is sure to continue keen.
At the present time wheat is selling
well below last year and far under
the high time this year- .

Farm Machinery in Demand
The annual convention of the Na-
tional Association of Farm Equip-
ment Manufacturers has just been
held in Chicago. Tractor, thresher
and combine manufacturers in at-
tendance report a gratifying increase
in' sales and production during the
past season. Tractor manufacturers
have been running overtime in many
cases and report increases in sales
of from 25 to 60 per cent over 1926,
which was a record year, with a total
production of over 170,000 ma-
chines. '

Cattle Prices Widen Out

Within a short time there has
been a great boom in prices for
prime cattle Oﬂered on the Chicago
market; due to their real scarcity
in feeding districts, and the best
sold the highest in many years, while
there was a great widening out of
cattle values. The few fancy offer-
ings sold away above the next grade,
and the best long fed weighty steers

 

lin s. _
in ﬁvestern packing points has under-
gone a big falling off, and even the
common and middling kinds had
large advances, while the unusual
situation has brought out a lively
demand for’stockars and feeders at
large" advances in'prices, with late

cattle have sold at an extreme
range of $6.50 to $11, with stock and
{feeder cows and heifers at ;'$5.7 5 to

 

sold much higher than prime year- ‘
Cattle marketing for the year I

   

sales largely at $8.50 to 310. These v i

best calves have sold at $14 to $16.

Chicago Hog Market

There has been a gain in the .re-
ceipts of hogs in western packing
points this year over 1926; but
supplies have run far short of other
recent years. At times recently lights
and underweights‘ Comprised a large
share of the offerings, and Spring
pigs have been numerous, with pack-
ing sows decreasing. Recently too
limited hog supplies sent average
prices up to the highest level reached
since March, with eastern shippers
taking a large part of‘ the ‘ best
hogs. For the year to late date the
receipts in seven western packing
pointsfoot up 17,535,000 hogs, com-.
paring with 17,278,000 8. year ago,
19,974,000 two years ago and 23.-
7 21,000 three years ago. Hogs sold
a year ago at $9.75. to,$14 and two
years ago af‘38.20 to $11.90. Late

sales were at $10'to $12.15, with

heavy hogs the highest,

BEANS

“Summing up the present bean
situation, we feel that growers would

be unwise to sell beans of.almost'

any variety at this time, if they are
equipped, ﬁnancially and otherwise,
to hold them." That is the advice
that was given to- the bean growers

of California the ﬁrst of this month ‘

and to us it looks like excellent ad-
vise for Michigan growers to follow.
The annual slump in prices is with
us and dealers are going, to load up
and hold because the crop as a. whole
is. in good condition. During the
last few years they have made little
more than the farmer on the crop
but this looks like a chance to make
up for past leases because there is a
short crop.
well for the 1927 bean crdpjthe way
things look and the one to get paid
is the one who holds the beans. “At
least that is the way the market
looks to us after studying all of the
facts available at present. Should
the growers succeed in getting con-r
grass to also the tariff there will
be still more reason for higher
prices. . — r

 

POTATOES

Potato prices are lower than they
should be and the sensible thing for
a grower to do, in our Opinion, is to
put his surplus in storage for future
sale, because when the actual short—
age is determined there will be a
scramble to get potatoes. Reports
indicate that prices being paid farm-
ers in the late potato regions aver-
age 50c per 100, pounds below a
year ago. Michigan growers seem to
be' exercising good judgment by
selling only what they have to. '
